Our Memories Episode 13 Recap
> Our Memories Recap
Wang Diqiu and his friends were having a great time at the carnival. Han Shuai spotted a bear plush in a display window and asked the owner if he could buy it, but the owner refused, stating it was a display item not for sale. Guo Ting overheard the exchange. Later, she excused herself to go to the restroom but instead went to the owner and worked there temporarily to earn the bear.
When Guo Ting didn't return, Han Shuai became worried she might be lost, so he and the other friends split up to search for her throughout the carnival grounds. Guo Ting finally appeared, holding the large bear, and presented it to Han Shuai. Although touched by the gesture, Han Shuai couldn't help but scold her for disappearing and causing worry. Guo Ting explained that she had been working to get the bear for him as a surprise.
Han Shuai pretended not to have been worried, though his actions suggested otherwise. Later, Yang Guang and Ms. Chen went on a date and rode the Ferris wheel. As they reached the top, in the quiet moment, Yang Guang seemed about to make a move, but Ms. Chen playfully interrupted by pointing out that he had cotton candy on his head, causing him to freeze. Guo Ting celebrated her eighteenth birthday surrounded by Wang Diqiu's family and her friends.
She felt happy during the party, but later in her bedroom, a wave of disappointment washed over her as she looked at photos of her parents. Aunt Li came into her room and gave her gifts from her parents, sensing Guo Ting's sadness.
Aunt Li explained how much her parents loved her and thought about her constantly, recalling specific details they would ask about her when she was younger, from whether she kicked off her blanket at night to how she was doing in school. Hearing this, Guo Ting started to cry, feeling understood. After Aunt Li left, Han Shuai came in holding the bear she had gotten for him earlier. He presented it to her as a birthday gift.
Guo Ting playfully remarked that she felt she had been tricked since she had worked for the bear herself. Han Shuai gently teased her for crying on her birthday and told her to cheer up. He then said goodnight and left. Guo Ting, her mood lifted, happily repeated his goodnight wish. Wang Diqiu noticed Han Shuai's unusual concern for Guo Ting and asked him about his feelings for her. Han Shuai insisted Guo Ting wasn't his type.
However, Wang Diqiu countered that Han Shuai's behavior towards Guo Ting when she was upset was different, showing a level of care that went beyond ordinary friendship. Meanwhile, Guo Ting finally opened the gift from her parents, expecting something generic. To her surprise, it was a detailed photo album chronicling her childhood with accompanying stories. Jiang Wenwen felt a pang of envy seeing how lively Wang Diqiu's home was compared to her own quiet one.
Shi Wenke accompanied her as she left. As they passed a wishing area, Jiang Wenwen suggested they write down their wishes and hang them. Shi Wenke wrote a wish hoping Jiang Wenwen would always be happy. He observed that her compulsive handwashing habit seemed to disappear whenever she was in a good mood, suggesting that her happiness could help her overcome it.
One snowy and rainy day, Grandma went out listening to her opera music but unfortunately slipped and had to be hospitalized. The news saddened the friends, bringing back difficult childhood memories. They recalled how Wei Xing was heartbroken after losing his mother and would often cry in secret. Han Shuai's parents frequently argued about work and family time, causing tension. Guo Ting missed her parents, but Grandma had always been there, doing things like styling her hair.
Wang Diqiu remembered being scolded by Aunt Li for buying collectible cards, only for Grandma to step in and protect him. Grandma had been a constant, supportive presence, helping to raise them all. Distraught, Guo Ting called her parents, tearfully urging them to return to see Grandma. They reassured her they had already bought train tickets and were on their way. Wang Diqiu found Grandma's old radio on the ground.
Remembering the opera music she loved, he decided he wanted to fix it for her. Thankfully, Grandma received timely medical attention and was out of danger. Guo Ting, Han Shuai, Shi Wenke, and Wei Xing decided to cook a meal for Grandma. Han Shuai, having never cooked before, awkwardly followed Shi Wenke's instructions, with Wei Xing also chiming in to correct his mistakes.
Jiang Wenwen's Dad came home from work, bringing back a bag of popcorn he bought for her, thinking she might be tired from studying. Jiang Wenwen was delighted. However, Yan Li, her mother, arrived shortly after and, seeing Jiang Wenwen wasn't studying, immediately began criticizing her. Despite Jiang's Dad trying to defend her and suggest she relax, Yan Li insisted on the importance of the upcoming first mock exam for the college entrance exam. She demanded Jiang Wenwen return to her room to study diligently, which Jiang Wenwen quietly did, taking her popcorn with her.
