My Love, Enlighten Me Episode 20 Recap
> My Love, Enlighten Me Recap
Han Che informed Gu Li he was on a business trip—a pretext to go see Nuannuan—and asked him to look after his sister while he was away. Meanwhile, at the film set, Nuannuan presented a costume plan to the director. Though he initially approved the proposal for Lin Jiayi and Fang Hanchen, Nuannuan suggested that white shirts were impractical for a hotpot scene due to potential stains.
She proposed an alternative: matching hoodies in greyish pink and dark grey to make the actors look more like a couple and evoke nostalgia. The director praised her thoughtful approach, and Nuannuan credited her superior, Zong Ying, for the guidance. Impressed, the director's assistant asked Nuannuan to prepare another costume plan for the next day. Later, Zong Ying asked Nuannuan to retrieve a forgotten bag of clothes from the hotpot restaurant.
After getting the bag, Nuannuan missed her ride and was caught in a sudden downpour, forcing her to run through the rain to the next location. Gu Li invited Han Xue to dinner, claiming he had something important to discuss. Though she feigned indifference, Han Xue accepted, dressing up for the "battlefield." At the restaurant, Naomi unexpectedly appeared, claiming she and Gu Li were dating and wanted Han Xue's opinion on their compatibility.
As Naomi listed Gu Li's supposed flaws—his immaturity, impulsiveness, lack of ambition, and obsession with cartoons—Han Xue passionately defended him on every point, to Gu Li's secret delight. However, after excusing herself to the restroom, Han Xue realized she had been set up. Angered by the trick, she returned to the table and publicly agreed with all of Naomi's criticisms, sarcastically declaring that Gu Li was indeed immature and childish.
She encouraged them to stay together, joking they would be "doing the world a favor," before pulling Naomi away and leaving a devastated Gu Li behind. Later, Naomi apologized, confessing it was Gu Li's desperate attempt to test her feelings. Furious, Han Xue vowed to make him pay. Nuannuan arrived on set drenched and was immediately chastised by Zong Ying for being late.
An assistant director noticed Nuannuan's flushed face and, realizing she had a fever, urged her to go to the hospital. After the day's shoot, Fang Hanchen couldn't reach Nuannuan. He learned from Zong Ying that she had been hospitalized, but as he prepared to leave, Lin Jiayi stopped him. She stressed the show's critical importance to her career and, with producer Liu adding pressure, insisted he finish filming first. Reluctantly, Fang Hanchen complied.
Once filming wrapped, he and Lin Jiayi rushed to the hospital, only to find Han Che cradling a sleeping Nuannuan. Defeated, Lin Jiayi told Fang Hanchen he was "too late," and they both turned and left. The next day, Nuannuan awoke to find Han Che by her side and realized his presence was not a dream. He embraced her tightly, and when she said she was hungry, he immediately left to buy her porridge.
Overwhelmed, Nuannuan told him to leave, but Han Che steadfastly refused, reassuring her that "home is where I am." Later, a nurse's comment that Han Che had stayed by her bedside for two consecutive nights touched Nuannuan, and she finally relaxed. When Han Che returned and found her sleeping, he gently kissed her forehead, a warm smile on his face.
Having not seen Han Xue at the studio for days, a worried Gu Li sought out Naomi, who, now a loyal fan of Han Xue, refused to betray her confidence. Gu Li then messaged Han Xue, asking to meet at their usual bar. Later, at his apartment, Han Xue discovered a collection of items he had saved over the years, including a water bottle she had lost and an entire box of mementos.
Dropping all pretenses, Gu Li confessed his deep love, admitting that everything he had done since his teens was for her. He told her he wanted to be her husband and the father of her children, even revealing he had already picked out baby names. Moved by his heartfelt declaration, Han Xue called him a "big fool" and embraced him. The next morning, she announced their relationship on social media.
Her mother called, feigning disapproval before happily accepting the news, revealing she had long suspected their relationship. Han Che woke to find Nuannuan had already left for the set. A nurse informed him she had left her laptop behind, so he decided to take it to her. Back on set, Nuannuan presented her costume ideas, but Zong Ying repeatedly criticized them.
Han Che arrived and intervened, defending Nuannuan by arguing that emotional connection and audience immersion were more important than high fashion. When the director asked for a concept for the final "confession" scene, Nuannuan proposed simplicity: the stars in ordinary clothes to symbolize a return to real life and authentic love. The director loved the idea, praising its alignment with the show's message, and adopted her plan. Overjoyed, Nuannuan excitedly grabbed Han Che's hand.
That evening, the director treated the crew to a karaoke party. Han Che protected Nuannuan, who had a cold, by drinking on her behalf. At one point, Fang Hanchen pulled Nuannuan aside to sing with him. Annoyed, Han Che left the room. Nuannuan tried to follow, but Fang Hanchen stopped her, confessing his feelings and regretting not telling her sooner. He lamented that he was only ever her "senior brother."
Nuannuan gently explained that she was now with Han Che and that their relationship would always be that of a junior and senior. Just then, Han Che reappeared and led her away, leaving a saddened Fang Hanchen to watch them go.
