Ode to Joy Episode 40 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Qu Xiaoxiao was not home, so Zhao Qiping had no choice but to wait at the door. Kind and considerate Guan Juer moved a stool for him. Qiu Yingying started yelling as soon as she entered the house. She shouted that she saw pictures of Qu Xiaoxiao and Bao Yifan in her Moments, and not knowing the full story, she thought Qu Xiaoxiao was going to repeat her old tricks.
Guan Juer, who had a crush on Dr. Zhao, heard it. She felt it was unfair to Dr. Zhao, who was waiting at the door, and directly called Qu Xiaoxiao, questioning her why she was flirting with Bao Yifan. After receiving Qu Xiaoxiao's negative answer, Guan Juer told Qu Xiaoxiao that Zhao Qiping was waiting for her at her door.
Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to play hard to get, so she said she rarely had the chance to drink and go clubbing with Yao Bin and wouldn't be back for a while. Ying Qin fell in love at first sight with the warm and lively Qiu Yingying. So he called Qiu Yingying, using the excuse that he wanted to order coffee. During their chat, he mentioned he had a cold.
Qiu Yingying, who also had a good impression of him, said that when she delivers the coffee tomorrow, she would bring him a portion of hometown-style preserved meat rice. After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yingying immediately sprang into action. She went to the kitchen and made preserved meat rice. Afterward, she went to Andy to borrow a lunchbox and saw a dejected Andy drinking alone at home. Only after asking did she realize Andy had broken up.
Qiu Yingying thought Andy couldn't stay home alone, so she pulled Andy along to deliver the preserved meat rice to Ying Qin. Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer both thought Qiu Yingying's behavior was very unusual, so they teased her, thinking she had a crush on this boy. Qiu Yingying denied it stutteringly. In the depths of winter, Andy accompanied Qiu Yingying to deliver the meal to Ying Qin. Qiu Yingying, worried that Andy was cold, hugged her.
Andy, who had never been used to physical contact with others, instinctively dodged. Andy explained to Yingying that she was like this with everyone, that it was her own problem, not intentional, and that she would go see a psychologist after this busy period. Yingying guessed that Andy and Wei Wei were breaking up for this reason. She tentatively asked Andy, and Andy did not deny it.
Simple and warm-hearted Yingying kept comforting Andy, and Andy even took off her own scarf and put it on Yingying. This time alone together allowed Yingying to see Andy's inner warmth and kindness. She no longer thought Andy was aloof. Ying Qin was overjoyed to receive Qiu Yingying's call. He hurried downstairs. Yingying left after giving her instructions. Ying Qin, who was not good with words, thanked her and was deeply moved.
On the way back, Qiu Yingying kept talking incessantly about Ying Qin. Her directness and enthusiasm influenced Andy, whose mood was at a low point. Yao Bin drove Qu Xiaoxiao home. At the community entrance, Qu Xiaoxiao saw Zhao Qiping's car, so she stopped the car and got out. Yao Bin followed her out of the car and draped a coat over her. After seeing this scene, Zhao Qiping smiled mockingly and left. Yao Bin immediately understood.
He knew Qu Xiaoxiao was just using him to make that guy jealous. Lying on the bed, Qu Xiaoxiao tossed and turned, unable to sleep. So she simply got up and wrote down the events between her and Zhao Qiping from last night on a note, asking what Dr. Zhao's smile truly meant.
She stuck the note on the door of 2202, asking the girls on the 22nd floor to analyze it for her and leave comments after seeing it tomorrow morning. The next morning, Andy, who was out for a run, saw Qu Xiaoxiao's note. Andy, who always emphasized logic, listed all possibilities on the note. Fan Shengmei went out to take out the trash, saw Andy's response, and was greatly amused.
Wang Baichuan called Fan Shengmei, picked her up to go to work together, and brought her breakfast. The two of them ate breakfast and went to work chatting and laughing. After careful consideration, Andy felt she couldn't drag Wei Wei down. She sent him a WeChat message and broke up with him.
