Our Generation Episode 16 Recap
> Our Generation Recap
Several families came to see the kids off. At the dinner table, all the parents gave speeches. From now on, their children were no longer little kids—they needed to learn to face many things on their own. But they would always have their parents as their support. Chen Minghao showed up halfway through. He had been studying and living in Australia, and now came especially to see everyone off. After dinner, Yingtao and the others walked Chen Minghao out.
This time, Yingtao was different from when she was younger. Back then, when Chen Minghao left, she cried her heart out. But now, she calmly accepted the farewell. Du Shang hoped that Yingtao could be the same when facing Jiang Qiaoxi, but Yingtao couldn’t—because he was Jiang Qiaoxi. That night, Qin Yeyun stayed with Yingtao while she slept, because Yingtao was reporting to school the next day, and from then on, they would only see each other during summer vacation.
Yingtao actually felt sorry for Qin Yeyun—ever since she was little, she always kept everything bottled up inside. This time, Yingtao chose to go to school on her own and didn’t let her parents accompany her. At school, the dorms were assigned. She was placed in a room with a senior in her fourth year. When she arrived, the room was a mess. The seniors had just woken up and quickly started tidying up.
After organizing her belongings, Yingtao called her parents. Upon learning she was sharing a room with fourth-year seniors, her parents became worried, thinking it would’ve been more convenient if she were with classmates from her own year. Yingtao didn’t say much, just told them not to worry. After hanging up, tears welled up in her eyes. Yingtao was very hardworking and serious during military training, and the instructors often praised her.
One time, when she returned to the dorm door, she overheard the seniors saying they didn’t want a roommate like her. Yingtao felt targeted and quietly went to sit downstairs in the dorm building. She didn’t return until she saw the lights in the dorm go off. Just as she lay down, the seniors began telling ghost stories, but Yingtao wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she told one herself and ended up frightening everyone else.
Yingtao texted Jiang Qiaoxi about everything that had happened that day. Later that night, one of the seniors was too scared to go to the bathroom alone, so she asked Yingtao to accompany her. The two of them used a flashlight and quickly got it over with. Back in the dorm, the senior asked Yingtao to sleep beside her. Soon after, the other two seniors also woke up, and the four of them sat together and cleared the air.
It turned out that Yingtao had misunderstood them. Earlier, when the seniors were chatting in the dorm, they were actually worried that their behavior had scared Yingtao and that she wouldn’t want roommates like them. So, they planned to bond with her through ghost stories—but didn’t expect that Yingtao was even better at telling scary tales. After that, Yingtao grew closer with the seniors and eventually learned about their stories too. Senior Sisi had been having issues with her boyfriend.
With graduation approaching, they each had plans to return to their hometowns—one in Shandong, the other in Jiangsu—and neither wanted to compromise. So, Sisi’s boyfriend kept trying to reach her. He waited downstairs from the dorm with a bouquet of flowers. Sisi went down, said a couple of words to him, and ran back up. Yingtao and the others stayed in the dorm, unsure how to talk to Sisi about it.
