Perfect and Casual Episode 8 Recap
> Perfect and Casual Recap
After the wedding, Gao Zhiyi questioned Yun Shu whether she had really kissed Zhang Sinian. Zhang Sinian claimed it was fake, but Gao Zhiyi didn’t believe it, saying the kiss just now looked far too real. She even demonstrated the kiss with Lin Nuo, creating an awkward atmosphere, and had to explain it was just acting.
During the group photo, Grandpa Zhang planned to introduce Lu Yu to Yun Lan, but Yun Lan directly stated that she and Lu Yu were completely incompatible. After the wedding, Grandpa Zhang gave Yun Shu a monetary gift, which she later returned to Zhang Sinian. On the way back, Yun Shu, feeling a bit tired, fell asleep in the car. Zhang Sinian helped buckle her seatbelt.
Staring at her cherry-red lips so close to him, he couldn’t help but recall the kiss at the wedding, and his emotions stirred. After the two returned home, the atmosphere on the sofa was terribly awkward. After they both took showers, Zhang Sinian mentioned wanting to “return” the kiss Yun Shu gave him at the wedding. Yun Shu misunderstood, thinking he was referring to something intimate.
Little did she know, Zhang Sinian was the abstinent type—his idea of “returning the favor” was tutoring Yun Shu in her coursework and helping her plan her studies. At home, Yun Lan was watching a drama starring Lu Yu. She thought Lu Yu was just a childish guy, but Lu Yu believed Yun Lan had already successfully caught his attention. After finishing her test papers, Yun Lan sighed at how her wedding night had been spent doing exam papers.
Yun Shu, on the other hand, felt very happy in her new role as a wife. On the first day of marriage, Zhang Sinian specially changed the house key password to their wedding date, invited Yun Shu out shopping with him, and even tore up the previous cohabitation contract’s schedule. Gao Zhiyi told Lin Nuo that she and Qiqi were also getting married soon, which Lin Nuo found hard to believe.
Right then, Gao Zhiyi received a message from Qiqi saying they had decided to return to being just friends. Yun Shu asked Zhang Sinian why he brought her shopping. Zhang Sinian told her that although their marriage was contractual, in the eyes of others, Yun Shu was his wife. He wanted her to stand beside him with a look that matched his.
Yun Shu was secretly delighted, only to discover that Zhang Sinian had no intention of dressing her up; instead, he handed her a reading list and asked her to pick out all the books. One book was placed high up, so Zhang Sinian reached up to get it for her. As they exited the bookstore, Yun Shu’s stomach grumbled, so Zhang Sinian took her to a restaurant. Yun Shu really wanted fried chicken.
Coincidentally, a student working there secretly added it to their order. Later, the student was harshly berated by the manager, but Zhang Sinian stepped in and used a well-intentioned lie to get the manager to take their suggestions seriously. Watching everything Zhang Sinian did for her, Yun Shu felt incredibly happy. On the way home, Yun Shu asked him whether he also thought she was useless. Zhang Sinian told her he didn’t think so at all.
The so-called “good-enough theory” was just his way of making life easier for himself. He told Yun Shu that over the course of the year, he would help her find her direction in life before the contract ended. Yun Shu chatted with Gao Zhiyi, describing Zhang Sinian as meticulous, thoughtful, and very straightforward. Gao Zhiyi told her she had already fallen for Zhang Sinian.
After marriage, Yun Shu helped Zhang Sinian collect his laundry and couldn’t help but sniff the scent on his clothes with a hint of infatuation. Zhang Sinian interrupted her, which confused Yun Shu a little. Later, after taking a shower, Zhang Sinian walked into Yun Shu’s room and told her he had invested the monetary gift from Grandpa Zhang into a financial product. The dividends would serve as her monthly allowance. This suave side of Zhang Sinian inevitably made Yun Shu’s imagination run wild.
