Ode to Joy Episode 22 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Andy picked up Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, and the group of four set off first. Wang Baichuan picked up Fan Shengmei and followed closely behind. Qu Xiaoxiao picked up Zhao Qiping to go out and play; the place she chose was also the private villa resort that Andy and her group were heading to. Fan Shengmei was stunned when she saw Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer.
To prevent her lie from being exposed, she immediately found Andy, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying as soon as she got out of the car, entrusting them to help her keep the secret from Wang Baichuan. Although Andy thought Fan Shengmei's behavior was very self-deceiving, she couldn't resist her earnest pleas. Everyone had to reach a consensus, publicly declaring: Andy lives in 2201, Fan Shengmei lives in 2202, and Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying, and Qu Xiaoxiao live together in 2203.
Wang Baichuan was surprised to learn that Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, and Qu Xiaoxiao were living in the same house, as he already knew the fact that Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying and others shared a rental. He could only express his astonishment, wondering how Qu Xiaoxiao, as the general manager of a company, would share a house with others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the sensitive Fan Shengmei asked him how he knew Qu Xiaoxiao was the company's general manager. Wang Baichuan truthfully told her that Qu Xiaoxiao had once handed him her business card. The naive Qiu Yingying immediately started shouting upon hearing this, because she had always held a grudge about Qu Xiaoxiao giving her phone number to Bai Zhuguan. Under Wei Wei's persuasion, the matter was not discussed further.
Zhao Qiping received a sudden call; there was an emergency with a patient at the hospital. Qu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to drive him back. With nothing to do, Qu Xiaoxiao invited Yao Bin to the private villa resort. Yao Bin revealed that it was his uncle's resort, and he was very familiar with the place, so he gladly accepted the invitation. Fan Shengmei was struggling greatly to keep her secret.
In the restroom, Andy advised her to confess, but the vain Fan Shengmei said she was now in too deep and didn't want to ruin the image she had in Wang Baichuan's mind. At the dinner table, Wang Baichuan was on pins and needles, because he wanted to confess to Fan Shengmei the truth he had already learned, but he had no opportunity to speak. After lunch, Andy was working.
Wei Wei, sitting next to her, kissed her cheek when she wasn't looking. Afterwards, Wei Wei was very embarrassed; he made an excuse to leave but was stopped by Andy. Andy consulted him about Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan's situation. Wei Wei believed that Fan Shengmei was suffering because of her vanity, and it was not appropriate for outsiders to interfere too much.
Wei Wei explained to Andy that most girls want to show their best side in front of a boy they like, but Andy was an exception. Andy wanted to make it up to Wei Wei with a hug, but she found she couldn't do it. Wei Wei then embraced Andy with both arms. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer were strolling around the resort. They saw Qu Xiaoxiao sitting on a yacht coming towards them.
Remembering Fan Shengmei's lie, both panicked and rushed to find Andy and Wei Wei. Andy quickly called Qu Xiaoxiao, asking her to come directly to her. Qu Xiaoxiao arrived as requested. Andy told her to keep the secret and admit that she lived with Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer. Qu Xiaoxiao had always disapproved of the vain Fan Shengmei and said she would try her best to cooperate, but couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't accidentally let it slip.
At dinner, Qiu Yingying secretly told Fan Shengmei that Qu Xiaoxiao had also arrived at the resort. Fan Shengmei's expression changed instantly; she knew Qu Xiaoxiao detested her kind of behavior. Qiu Yingying comforted her, saying that Andy had already warned Qu Xiaoxiao.
As Andy and Wei Wei, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan sat at the dinner table, ready to eat, Qu Xiaoxiao, wearing a mask, and Yao Bin, carrying a guitar, made a grand entrance.
