Our Generation Episode 4 Recap
> Our Generation Recap
Lin Qi Le quickly developed a reputation for being cold when she refused to lend her water card to Jiang Qiao Xi, despite his polite request. Fellow students were taken aback by her bluntness. Cen Xiao Man and another classmate discussed Lin Qi Le's behavior. One classmate suggested it stemmed from embarrassment in English class due to Jiang Qiao Xi's advanced vocabulary, believing Lin Qi Le's self-esteem was hit.
However, Cen Xiao Man believed it was more likely a reaction to the other classmate, who had previously spoken ill of Lin Qi Le and was also a friend of Jiang Qiao Xi, causing Lin Qi Le to direct her anger towards him. They advised the classmate to apologize to Lin Qi Le.
Later, Jiang Qiao Xi's father hosted a dinner to celebrate Jiang Qiao Xi's success in the Olympiad math competition and Lin Qi Le's admission to the provincial city school. Lin Qi Le's mother, Sheng Juan, offered her the option to skip if she felt uncomfortable, reassuring her it was simply adult social etiquette. However, Lin Qi Le decided to attend with her parents.
During the dinner, Lin Qi Le was seated next to Jiang Qiao Xi, who consistently looked after her, serving her dishes and peeling crabs, which Lin Qi Le found puzzling. Subsequently, Lin Qi Le was summoned to the fourth-floor stairwell by Fei Lin Ge, who claimed he wanted to apologize for mistaking her for someone else before she transferred. However, his apology quickly turned into an accusation.
He implied Lin Qi Le disliked Jiang Qiao Xi and then vehemently criticized "that Cherry" for sending Jiang Qiao Xi a "disgusting" letter, blaming her for any misunderstandings. Lin Qi Le told him to stop his disrespectful comments. Just then, Yu Qiao arrived and pushed Fei Lin Ge. When Fei Lin Ge attempted to retaliate, Lin Qi Le swiftly kicked him, knocking him down again.
The Class Monitor appeared, warning Lin Qi Le and Yu Qiao that Fei Lin Ge might report them, which could lead to serious trouble. Yu Qiao, unfazed, confidently stated that with Lin Qi Le's ability to turn "black into white," they had nothing to worry about. Despite this, Lin Qi Le found it strange that the teacher hadn't called on her, and Fei Lin Ge seemed to have taken no action.
Yu Qiao jokingly suggested it was because she was too intimidating. Jiang Qiao Xi later confronted Fei Lin Ge, questioning why he was attacked. Fei Lin Ge recounted his version of events, claiming he merely tried to apologize to Lin Qi Le but was met with violence. He reiterated his belief that "Cherry's" letter was the cause of the misunderstanding and that her actions were "disgusting."
Jiang Qiao Xi sternly rebuked Fei Lin Ge, pointing out that insulting someone's friend in front of them would naturally provoke a reaction. He warned Fei Lin Ge to stay out of his personal affairs, especially concerning Lin Qi Le, stating unequivocally that he and Lin Qi Le "will become friends." Lin Qi Le tried to encourage a connection between Qin Ye Yun and Yu Qiao, noticing Qin Ye Yun's interest.
While Lin Qi Le and Yu Qiao were talking about games, Lin Qi Le suggested Qin Ye Yun should hang out with them more, remarking on her absence from their previous dance machine outing. Qin Ye Yun then proposed a trip to the aquarium with Yu Qiao, who readily agreed. However, Yu Qiao then insisted that Lin Qi Le also join them, arguing that Qin Ye Yun would be upset if she didn't.
Though reluctant to be a third wheel, Lin Qi Le eventually agreed. On the day of the trip, Qin Ye Yun did not show up, claiming she had other plans, leaving Lin Qi Le and Yu Qiao to go alone. Lin Qi Le later found Qin Ye Yun watching TV at home, revealing her "other plans" were simply watching TV. Lin Qi Le found the situation between Qin Ye Yun and Yu Qiao confusing.
Later, Yu Qiao's father confronted him about a phone bill showing "love tests," suspecting Yu Qiao had a crush on Qin Ye Yun. Yu Qiao denied it, blaming his younger brother, who then admitted to using the phone. Subsequently, their friends teased Yu Qiao about Qin Ye Yun, causing Qin Ye Yun to become upset and run away. Lin Qi Le sought out Qin Ye Yun, who was angry and frustrated by Yu Qiao's obliviousness.
Lin Qi Le tried to persuade Qin Ye Yun to confess her feelings to Yu Qiao, but Qin Ye Yun feared that doing so would jeopardize their friendship and was content with their current dynamic. Lin Qi Le visited Qin Ye Yun at her home, bringing her a small doll as a gift. Qin Ye Yun initially hesitated to accept but found the doll endearing and noted its resemblance to herself and Lin Qi Le with their braided pigtails.
Qin Ye Yun's father also encouraged her to spend time with Lin Qi Le instead of constantly watching TV. Qin Ye Yun then agreed to hang out at Lin Qi Le's house. During the physical education class, while running the 800-meter dash, Lin Qi Le collapsed from heatstroke and was taken to the infirmary. Jiang Qiao Xi, who was retrieving a drink, rushed to her side upon hearing the news.
The nurse confirmed Lin Qi Le was suffering from heatstroke and needed rest. As Lin Qi Le lay recovering, she recalled a childhood memory of Jiang Qiao Xi caring for her when she was ill, bringing her warmed peanut milk when her parents were away. She remembered asking him to always stay with her when she was sick. Startled, she opened her eyes to find Jiang Qiao Xi by her bedside.
Annoyed by his presence, she immediately told him to leave, claiming they weren't close and it would be awkward if the nurse returned. Jiang Qiao Xi tried to stay, reminding her of her childhood wish for him to be with her when she was sick. Lin Qi Le, however, dismissed his words as "useless" and insisted he depart. As Jiang Qiao Xi was leaving, the nurse returned.
The Class Monitor attempted to cover for him by claiming he was ill, but Jiang Qiaoxi, committed to honesty, clarified that he was there to check on Lin Qi Le before finally departing.
