Our Generation Episode 6 Recap
> Our Generation Recap
Cherry and Yu Qiao, along with a few others, returned to the mountains. Jiang Qiaoxi called out to Cherry, but she ignored him. Qin Yeyun saw Jiang Qiaoxi and handed him her bicycle, telling him to go after Cherry. Cherry saw Jiang Qiaoxi from the bus—he was riding on the highway, which was very dangerous—so she decided to get off. Later, the two took a bus back together.
On the ride, Jiang Qiaoxi confessed to Cherry that during the years after he left the mountains, whenever he wanted to contact her, he found that his mother had cut the telephone line at home. He studied hard to make his mother proud and only wanted to return to the mountains during the holidays, but his mother never agreed. In the end, he had no choice but to sneak out of the house.
He even accidentally hurt himself while jumping out the window, though it wasn’t serious. He took a bus back to the mountains, full of hope to reunite with his old friends, but the moment he got off the bus, he was stopped by his mother. She threatened him, saying that if he had any contact with people from the mountains again, she would make sure he never saw them again.
Jiang Qiaoxi had no choice but to go home with her. The misunderstanding between Jiang Qiaoxi and Cherry was finally cleared up, but Cherry said she hadn't forgiven him yet—whether she would or not depended on his future behavior. Jiang Qiaoxi was overjoyed to have a chance at being forgiven. Yu Qiao and the others also understood the difficulties Jiang Qiaoxi faced and no longer blamed him, though they still pretended not to be close to him in public.
Cherry asked Yu Qiao to help arrange a meeting with Jiang Qiaoxi in the evening. Yu Qiao pretended to ask Jiang Qiaoxi for help with a math problem, then passed along the time and place. Jiang Qiaoxi said he could make it. Cen Xiaoman noticed their interaction and seemed to sense something. That night, Jiang Qiaoxi dressed up nicely, and so did Cherry. She arrived early at the agreed location and ran into Qin Yeyun on the way.
Qin Yeyun was also well-dressed because she, too, had someone she wanted to see. Qin Yeyun knew that Yu Qiao would be at the basketball court at that time, so she went there to find him. The two chatted for a while, but Yu Qiao still hadn’t realized Qin Yeyun’s feelings for him. Just as Jiang Qiaoxi stepped out of his house, he saw his mother.
He no longer wanted to be controlled by her—he was determined to go to the meeting. But once again, his mother threatened him, saying that if he went, she would have Cherry’s parents transferred away, ensuring that he would never see Cherry again. Jiang Qiaoxi had no choice but to go back home with her. Later, Jiang Qiaoxi’s father returned, and the couple got into a heated argument. The fight was so intense that it alarmed the neighbors.
Yu Qiao rushed to Cherry’s house and told them about the fight and its cause. Cherry’s parents immediately went to Jiang Qiaoxi’s home. Jiang Qiaoxi’s father apologized, and Cherry’s parents expressed that the children's friendship was very pure. Yu Qiao then went to find Cherry to tell her that Jiang Qiaoxi couldn’t make it and walked her home. Cherry saw her parents coming out of Jiang Qiaoxi’s house and worried they might be blamed by his mother because of her.
She felt very sorry. But her parents didn’t think the children had done anything wrong, and the three of them went home together. Jiang Qiaoxi was taken by his mother to attend a Math Olympiad training camp. When Cherry’s mother saw how reluctant she was to part with him, she told Cherry that people often can’t change their circumstances. But Cherry asked her mother whether feelings could remain unchanged even in difficult circumstances. Cherry’s parents gave her a definite answer.
Manager Jiang went to the convenience store to buy cigarettes. He wanted Qin Yeyun to pass a message to Cherry—that there’s a time for everything. Qin Yeyun said that it wasn’t Cherry who was affecting Jiang Qiaoxi anymore, but Jiang Qiaoxi who was affecting Cherry.
