Put Your Head on My Shoulder Episode 18 Recap
> Put Your Head on My Shoulder Recap
Si Tu Mo rushed towards Gu Weiyi, who had just arrived at her workplace. He explained he hadn't replied to her messages because his phone had died. He confirmed he would always pick her up, regardless of how late she worked or the weather conditions. However, his expression turned cautious as he looked at Lin Zhicun. Jealous, Gu Weiyi questioned Si Tu Mo about her relationship with the artist, asking if they were close.
Si Tu Mo casually confirmed they got along "not bad" and occasionally ate together. Gu Weiyi's jealousy flared, and he asked if they ate Liuzhou snail noodles together. Si Tu Mo playfully called him a "jealousy pot" and assured him she only ate that dish with him. As they walked home, Si Tu Mo expressed her craving for the noodles, which Gu Weiyi initially refused to cook, claiming it stank.
Back at their apartment, Gu Weiyi cooked Liuzhou snail noodles, and they ate it alongside instant noodles. Si Tu Mo worried her mother would scold them for their unhealthy meal choices. Although Gu Weiyi still found the odor off-putting, he admitted he had grown accustomed to it and watched Si Tu Mo with an affectionate smile as she savored her food. After dinner, Si Tu Mo made tea for Gu Weiyi, noticing his fondness for it.
He explained that his father, an artifact restorer, had raised him and taught him to appreciate tea. He recalled quiet afternoons in his father's workshop, where he would read "Tell Me Why?" while his father meticulously worked. Si Tu Mo remembered his aunt complaining that his father had given him an "odd" temper. Gu Weiyi inquired if his temper was indeed strange, and Si Tu Mo affectionately affirmed it was "odd, but pretty good."
When Si Tu Mo asked if he could repair ceramics, Gu Weiyi confirmed he could handle simple restorations, making Si Tu Mo regret not knowing earlier about a broken mug she once had. She then asked if he could instantly guess the price of antiques, to which he replied he could not, but could deduce their approximate dynasty.
This sparked an idea for Si Tu Mo to visit a museum with him during the winter holiday to guess the ages of antiques. Gu Weiyi was surprised to learn she had a winter holiday and would be going home for the New Year. His disappointment was evident, prompting Si Tu Mo to promise she would leave later and return earlier.
She tried to reassure him by vowing to pack her bags and leave the moment the New Year firecrackers started. At the airport, the couple shared a reluctant farewell. Si Tu Mo called Gu Weiyi back for a final wave before he left. Later, she called him from her bus to tell him she was on her way, and he replied that his plane was about to take off, forcing them to end the call.
Upon arriving home, Si Tu Mo texted Gu Weiyi but received no reply, leaving her wondering about his whereabouts. Her younger brother, Si Tuhao, then called her for dinner. During the meal, Si Tu Mo learned their older sister was traveling in Thailand and wouldn't be home for New Year, much to their father's dismay.
Si Tuhao also recounted how Si Tu Mo had sold their sister's pets to her classmates, and their father's futile attempts to buy them back, even after offering double the price. Meanwhile, Gu Weiyi texted Si Tu Mo to confirm his safe arrival, and they continued to exchange messages.
At Gu Weiyi's home, his mother called him and his father for dinner, complaining about his father's single-minded focus on work and expressing her hope that someone would one day "manage" Gu Weiyi. Gu Weiyi's father defended him, emphasizing his son's dedication to scientific research, but his mother persisted in discussing his future until his father reluctantly yielded. During the winter holiday, both Gu Weiyi and Si Tu Mo diligently worked on their respective projects.
Gu Weiyi and his father successfully completed the restoration of an artwork, while Si Tu Mo finalized her advertisement design. Si Tu Mo initiated a video call with Gu Weiyi from her bed, playfully covering the camera. When Gu Weiyi complained about the unfairness, she teased him, claiming she was too beautiful and wearing "very sexy" sleepwear that might make him "lose control."
At that moment, Si Tu Mo's mother unexpectedly walked into the room, scolding her for wearing the same pants for a week and having oily hair, causing Si Tu Mo immense embarrassment. Gu Weiyi, still on the call but out of sight, humorously affirmed Si Tu Mo's mother's assessment, remarking that he "really couldn't hold it."
Later, during a family dinner at Gu Weiyi's house, a discussion about mantis prawns inadvertently led to Gu Weiyi's mother revealing that he was cohabiting with Si Tu Mo. Gu Weiyi's father was visibly shocked and expressed his disapproval of an unrelated boy and girl living together, especially since they weren't in a relationship. Gu Weiyi interjected, correcting his father by stating that they were.
His mother, quick to pick up on his confirmation, directly asked if they were dating, to which Gu Weiyi proudly responded, "We're already dating." His father, however, appeared displeased. That evening, Si Tu Mo excitedly called Gu Weiyi to share the sound of fireworks. Gu Weiyi, seeing beautiful fireworks on his way home, wished he could be sharing the experience with her.
Half a month later, Si Tu Mo arrived back at her apartment complex, trying unsuccessfully to reach Gu Weiyi by phone, unaware that he was skateboarding. Gu Weiyi soon appeared on his skateboard. Si Tu Mo, surprised by his newfound skill, wondered how he would manage to carry her luggage. Gu Weiyi confidently insisted he could handle it and refused her help.
However, as they walked, he noticed other couples holding hands and paused, realizing his hands were full with her luggage and his skateboard, leaving no free hand to hold Si Tu Mo's. Si Tu Mo, assuming he was struggling, took her own luggage and carried it into the building. Upon entering their apartment, Gu Weiyi, managing to hold his skateboard and her luggage in one hand, immediately took Si Tu Mo's hand with his other.
He declared, "I'll carry the luggage, and you hold my hand. That's more romantic." Si Tu Mo chuckled, asking where he had learned such a line. Misinterpreting her amusement, Gu Weiyi, thinking she didn't find it romantic, dismissively said, "Forget about it," and began to turn away. Si Tu Mo quickly stopped him, called him back for a hug, and assured him, "You're very romantic." Delighted, Gu Weiyi responded, "I miss you very much."
Back at the lab, Zhou Lei, still fixated on his competition with Gu Weiyi, tried to engage Senior Lu Jianshi, who was annoyed by his childish behavior. She reminded him that she was also a senior whom he showed no respect to, implying he only respected people who could affect his chances of going to Heidelberg University. She then confirmed she would indeed be going. Meanwhile, Professor Jiang and Lu Jianshi discussed an upcoming exam.
Lu Jianshi argued the exam was unnecessary, stating Gu Weiyi's academic level was far superior to Zhou Lei's. However, Professor Jiang insisted on the exam, emphasizing the importance of providing fairness to both students. When Xie Yuyin handed in her lab report, Professor Jiang told her that Gu Weiyi's reports were better. Later, Gu Weiyi stopped by the lab and encountered Xie Yuyin.
She inquired about his relationship, surprised he had "suddenly fallen in love," to which he simply replied he had "wanted to be in love for a long time." Zhou Lei soon joined them, complaining about his stress over the Heidelberg opportunity but still pressing Gu Weiyi for details about his girlfriend, making suggestive comments until Gu Weiyi decided to leave. That evening, Gu Weiyi turned off the apartment's electricity to demonstrate his hand-cranked dynamo, which he had made for blackouts.
He meticulously explained the physics behind it, detailing how the conductor coil's rotation in a magnetic field generates an alternating current. Despite his detailed explanation, Si Tu Mo found the flickering light dim and noted it wasn't as bright as her phone. Gu Weiyi promised to improve it, and Si Tu Mo, her stomach rumbling, pitifully asked if they could eat. Gu Weiyi obliged and switched the power back on.
Later, Gu Weiyi noticed Si Tu Mo was still in her room, working. He saw her social media post seeking help from "Designing Experts" on how to convert a PS file to CDR, as she couldn't fill colors after conversion. Gu Weiyi immediately replied to her post, simply stating, "I can." Si Tu Mo, desperate for help, promptly came to his room. Gu Weiyi told her to wait on his bed while he worked on the file.
She suggested waiting in her own room, but Gu Weiyi playfully challenged her, asking what she was afraid of. Si Tu Mo denied any fear and settled on his bed. He told her she could sleep if she got tired, and she eventually drifted off while waiting. After successfully converting the file, Gu Weiyi softly called Si Tu Mo's name, then quietly added, "I did call you," clearly not wanting to wake her.
