> Ode to Joy Recap
Andy lost control of her emotions, and to calm herself down, she locked herself in the car. Seeing this, Wei Wei and Old Yan both believed that Xiao Ming should not be taken away at this time. Director Yang also worried that Xiao Ming might not adapt, so she agreed to their suggestion. Wei Wei came into the car and patiently comforted Andy.
He told Andy that the best solution at this moment was to let Xiao Ming stay here, as Director Yang was very kind to him. He suggested that Andy could visit her brother regularly, which would give him some time to adapt. As for the 500,000 yuan Andy had prepared, he advised her to pay it in installments. Andy accepted all these suggestions. Under Wei Wei's comforting, Andy gradually calmed down.
Andy returned upstairs and expressed her gratitude to Director Yang, explaining why she wouldn't be taking her brother back for now. Director Yang expressed her understanding. Andy stated that she would send money back monthly and immediately took out 30,000 yuan for Director Yang. The simple-minded Director Yang believed that caring for Xiao Ming was her duty and firmly refused to accept the money.
At Andy's insistence, Director Yang had to say that she would accept the money for now but would deposit it into a card for Xiao Ming. Andy expressed that she wanted to stay at the nursing home tonight to spend more time with her brother, and Director Yang happily agreed. After dinner, Xiao Ming sat alone in the courtyard playing a crossword puzzle. Andy walked up to him and guided him through the questions he didn't understand.
Xiao Ming gradually began to trust this stranger in front of him, and Director Yang was very pleased. After getting off work, Zhao Qiping called Qu Xiaoxiao. It turned out that Qu Xiaoxiao, who used to constantly send him WeChat messages, hadn't contacted him for two days. Qu Xiaoxiao explained that she had previously negotiated a project with another company, and now the project had entered the audit phase.
The other company had sent people to inspect, and she had been extremely busy recently. She told Zhao Qiping that she would go to the hospital to find him once she finished her work. Early the next morning, Wei Wei called Andy as soon as he woke up, but there was no answer. Already worried about Andy, Wei Wei grew tense. He went directly to Andy's room, but there was no response to his knocking.
Upon entering, he found Andy's phone and wallet were still in the room. Wei Wei was very anxious and rushed out to look for Andy. Meanwhile, Andy was walking alone in the county town. She arrived at the welfare institute where she had spent her childhood, reminiscing about the time she grew up holding her brother's hand. Afterwards, Andy returned to the nursing home alone, and the anxious Wei Wei finally felt relieved.
Wang Baichuan called Fan Shengmei, but Fan Shengmei kept not answering. Qiu Yingying noticed Fan Shengmei's unusual behavior, but Guan Juer advised her not to interfere, as Fan Shengmei, who was skilled in social etiquette, could completely handle the matter herself. Andy was about to leave. Director Yang showed Andy a drawing made by Xiao Ming. The person in Xiao Ming's drawing was his own older sister—Andy.
Andy was deeply moved after seeing it and told Director Yang that she would often come to visit her brother. This trip to Daishan made Wei Wei truly feel the grievances Andy had suffered over the years and her strength. Wei Wei's intuition also told him that Andy would refuse him. On the way back, Wei Wei pulled the car over, stating that he wanted to get some fresh air. Andy followed him out.
She told Wei Wei her decision, stating frankly that she would not be with him, as she had just found her brother and had too many things to deal with. Wei Wei told Andy his own story and persuaded her to accept his feelings. Andy admitted that she had a good impression of him, but she didn't know how to express her feelings or how to accept others' affections.
Wei Wei comforted her, saying that fear was not terrifying, and asked her to give him a chance, because he wanted to walk with her through life. Encouraged by Wei Wei, Andy finally gathered her courage and decided to accept Wei Wei, starting a new life with him.
