Ode to Joy Episode 5 Recap
> Ode to Joy Recap
Qiu Yingying was missing Bai Zhuguan at home, unaware that at this very moment, Bai Zhuguan was working hard helping Qu Xiaoxiao move things. Subsequently, Qu Xiaoxiao intentionally sent a group photo, which included Bai Zhuguan and other company staff, to the other residents on the 22nd floor. Qiu Yingying was very angry after seeing it, and Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were busy comforting her. On the other side, Andy reprimanded Qu Xiaoxiao, believing her actions were highly inappropriate.
However, the mischievous Qu Xiaoxiao insisted that she was helping Qiu Yingying. Fan Shengmei received a call from her classmate Wang Baichuan, who was in Shanghai for a business trip and invited her to dinner. It turned out that Wang Baichuan was Fan Shengmei's university classmate, and he had been pursuing her. However, during her university years, Fan Shengmei was like an arrogant princess.
Now, having entered society, despite being self-sufficient, she had to use most of her money to subsidize her parents, and could only live in a shared apartment. The image-conscious Fan Shengmei did not want Wang Baichuan to see her predicament. After meticulously dressing up, she went to Andy, told her about her situation with Wang Baichuan, and explicitly stated that she did not want Wang Baichuan to know she lived in a shared apartment.
After understanding the situation, Andy offered to take Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer to accompany her, and then bring Fan Shengmei back after she finished dinner. Andy's understanding made Fan Shengmei very grateful. Andy, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying accompanied Fan Shengmei to the restaurant where she was meeting Wang Baichuan. Andy asked Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying to eat nearby. During this time, Qiu Yingying answered a call from Bai Zhuguan.
Qiu Yingying showed no suspicion towards Bai Zhuguan's clumsy lies, which left Guan Juer and Andy, who were nearby, speechless. Fan Shengmei told Andy that she and Wang Baichuan were going for coffee and asked Andy to take the two younger girls home first. On the way home, Andy was busy driving and asked Qiu Yingying to answer her phone. Unexpectedly, the call was from Qu Xiaoxiao, whom Qiu Yingying currently detested the most.
Qiu Yingying angrily denounced Qu Xiaoxiao on the phone. Andy and Guan Juer kindly tried to mediate, but this made Qiu Yingying realize that Andy and Guan Juer already knew Qu Xiaoxiao's intentions. She became very angry, believing that her good friend Guan Juer was not on her side. As soon as Andy, Guan Juer, and Qiu Yingying returned to the 22nd floor, they ran into Qu Xiaoxiao, who was waiting in the hallway.
An angry Qiu Yingying tried to hit Qu Xiaoxiao but was stopped by Guan Juer. The nimble Qu Xiaoxiao, with Andy's help, dodged into 2201. Andy solved the character-guessing puzzle that Qidian had given her in one night. She also began to look forward to her date with this online friend whom she had never met. The next morning, Qiu Yingying ignored Guan Juer, which made Fan Shengmei realize the unusual atmosphere.
Only after asking Qiu Yingying did she understand the root of the problem. After Andy learned that Guan Juer also worked in the CBD area, she offered to give her a ride, and Guan Juer happily accepted.
