Put Your Head on My Shoulder Episode 17 Recap
> Put Your Head on My Shoulder Recap
Unable to sleep, Si Tu Mo and Gu Weiyi tossed and turned in bed. Gu Weiyi got up to get a beer from the fridge, hoping to clear his head, but Si Tu Mo also woke up and asked him what he was doing. Startled, Gu Weiyi spilled beer on the floor. Si Tu Mo walked forward, slipped on the beer, and Gu Weiyi instinctively caught her. They twirled around, and Si Tu Mo ended up leaning against the refrigerator.
The atmosphere grew intimate, and they embraced and kissed. Afterward, sitting together, they both agreed that Wang Shan's presence was inconvenient and discussed calling Fu Pei to pick her up. Gu Weiyi directly told Fu Pei to come early the next morning. Si Tu Mo found him too blunt, but Gu Weiyi retorted that if he were "not tactful," he would say "your girlfriend is at my house, very annoying." The next morning, Wang Shan bought breakfast for everyone.
Si Tu Mo didn't want to wake Gu Weiyi, but he woke up anyway. Si Tu Mo reached for a fried dough stick with her hands, which Wang Shan quickly stopped. Gu Weiyi, however, watched and indicated that Si Tu Mo could eat with her hands. Wang Shan hesitantly asked if they had any plans for the day. Gu Weiyi replied they had none, subtly signaling to Si Tu Mo that Wang Shan should leave.
Si Tu Mo then asked Wang Shan about her plans, offering to watch a movie together if she had none, much to Gu Weiyi's exasperation. To their surprise, Wang Shan announced she was going to sit for her postgraduate entrance exam. Si Tu Mo and Gu Weiyi were overjoyed, barely able to contain their smiles, relieved that their "spotlight" was finally leaving. As Wang Shan departed for her exam, Gu Weiyi quickly notified Fu Pei, who was waiting downstairs.
Wang Shan, though secretly pleased to see Fu Pei, initially feigned resistance. As expected, the road was heavily jammed, making Wang Shan anxious about being late. Just then, Fu Pei appeared on his motorcycle, whisking her through the traffic to the exam. Fu Pei explained he borrowed the motorcycle to appear more dashing, hoping she would forgive him quicker.
Wang Shan admitted she was the one who was wrong, but Fu Pei, with a grand gesture, declared he forgave her, saying he was more generous. They reconciled, and Fu Pei urged her to hurry into the exam. With Wang Shan gone, Si Tu Mo and Gu Weiyi happily settled down for a date at home, watching two movies.
Afterward, feeling full from all the snacks, and having already been to the mall the day before, they found themselves with nothing to do. Si Tu Mo suggested they go out for some exercise. Gu Weiyi grumbled, stating he doesn't exercise. Si Tu Mo then proposed playing ping-pong. Gu Weiyi, despite claiming he could play, turned out to be terrible. He started complaining about the ping-pong table not being standard and the racket having issues with its elastic coefficient.
Si Tu Mo, however, bluntly pointed out that his skill was the real problem. Giving up on ping-pong, Si Tu Mo expressed her admiration for how cool skateboarding looked, prompting Gu Weiyi to decide he would try it. Si Tu Mo worried if he could handle it. Gu Weiyi launched into a detailed physics explanation of the technique, involving pivot points, torque, and force arms.
He then attempted a trick, only to spectacularly fail, admitting that there was a significant gap between theory and practice. Si Tu Mo asked if he was okay after the fall. Later that night, they returned home. Gu Weiyi reluctantly watched Si Tu Mo head to her room. They bid each other goodnight but lingered, unwilling to part.
Gu Weiyi suggested it wasn't that late, and they decided to watch another movie, eventually falling asleep together on the sofa, too tired to even open their eyes. The next morning, Si Tu Mo woke first but quickly closed her eyes again when she saw Gu Weiyi stirring, wondering when would be a non-awkward moment to open them. She also worried if her head felt too heavy on him.
Gu Weiyi eventually woke up and gently lifted Si Tu Mo's head from his shoulder, though she managed to keep her head up on her own when he released it, revealing she was pretending. Gu Weiyi looked at her with an affectionate smile. He then told Si Tu Mo to stop pretending and asked if her neck was sore. Si Tu Mo, slightly embarrassed, said she needed to go to work.
Gu Weiyi then asked her to help him put on a patch. Afterward, Gu Weiyi walked Si Tu Mo to the bus stop. As they waited on the bench, they held hands, sharing sweet smiles. Si Tu Mo arrived at work cheerfully. Jie Er greeted her with two pieces of good news: first, interns could now participate in the Golden Pin Advertisement Design Competition; second, interns would receive a winter holiday this year.
Meanwhile, in the lab, Zhou Lei was visibly annoyed. Senior Xie Yu Yin had mentioned that Gu Weiyi could calculate data faster, completing it in ten minutes, which Zhou Lei sarcastically claimed he could also do. As they were talking, Lu Jian Shi, a senior student who had been on an exchange program in Heidelberg, Germany, and was previously Prof. Jiang's student, arrived.
Lu Jian Shi seemed particularly interested in Gu Weiyi, mentioning her hope that they could go to Germany together. Prof. Jiang explained that Lu Jian Shi was back because Heidelberg had authorized her to observe them. He announced that after the winter holiday, there would be an exam to select participants for the program, emphasizing that both exam results and daily experimental performance would count, dismissing Zhou Lei's accusations of favoritism.
Later, Gu Weiyi, Fu Pei, and Wang Shan met up to play ping-pong. Gu Weiyi admitted he had no prior experience, so Fu Pei instructed him to practice bouncing the ball on his own. Gu Weiyi then messaged Si Tu Mo, asking when she would get off work. She replied that she could leave at 6 PM if she didn't have overtime, and asked if he was coming to pick her up.
However, the art director suddenly called Si Tu Mo. It turned out Lin Zhi Cun and his manager were there, asking Si Tu Mo to continue her involvement in the collaboration between their two companies. Si Tu Mo was eager to leave and meet Gu Weiyi, but Lin Zhi Cun asked her to give them a tour of the company. Halfway through, Lin Zhi Cun noticed her impatience and let her leave.
Gu Weiyi was waiting outside, bored, gazing at his reflection in the glass. Si Tu Mo kept checking her phone, but Gu Weiyi hadn't replied. Lin Zhi Cun, observing this, mischievously suggested that no reply meant he wouldn't come to pick her up. However, Si Tu Mo confidently stated that Gu Weiyi was different and would definitely come.
As she entered the lobby, Si Tu Mo was overjoyed to see Gu Weiyi, but when Gu Weiyi and Lin Zhi Cun spotted each other, their expressions immediately turned into a fierce rivalry.
