Put Your Head on My Shoulder Episode 23 Recap
> Put Your Head on My Shoulder Recap
Professor Jiang advised Gu Weiyi to take responsibility for his actions. Gu Weiyi was unsure how Situ Mo would react to him not telling her about his upcoming trip abroad, so he sought advice from Xie Yu Yin. Xie Yu Yin told him he should speak to Situ Mo directly. Just then, Situ Mo arrived to see Gu Weiyi. Avoiding the topic of his trip, Gu Weiyi instead took Situ Mo to visit his laboratory.
Situ Mo was very curious about the lab, asking why they had moved back to an older facility. Gu Weiyi explained that their new research project required the specific environment of the old lab. She then playfully insisted that Gu Weiyi take off his white coat so she could wear it.
Adorned in the lab coat, Situ Mo comically pretended to be a professor, commanding Gu Weiyi to fetch "nitroglycerin," a professional-sounding chemical she remembered, though Gu Weiyi warned her it was explosive. Amidst her antics, Gu Weiyi finally told her that he had qualified to go on an exchange program to Heidelberg University in Germany with Professor Jiang, Lu Jian Shi, and Xie Yu Yin.
Situ Mo was shocked to learn that this opportunity had arisen at the end of the previous year and would last for more than six months. Gu Weiyi tried to explain that he hadn't told her sooner because he was unsure he would be selected and had been busy falling in love with her. Situ Mo angrily misinterpreted this as her hindering his studies. Upset, she removed the white coat and left, telling him not to follow.
That evening, both of their dormitories gathered for a hotpot meal. Situ Mo was still furious and completely ignored Gu Weiyi. Everyone else was lively and enjoying themselves, but Gu Weiyi and Situ Mo remained awkward with each other. Fu Pei and a friend drank too much and became boisterous. Wang Shan sternly reprimanded Fu Pei, who instantly became docile and affectionate. Observing this, Gu Weiyi secretly decided to mimic Fu Pei's tactic.
On the walk home, Gu Weiyi pretended to be heavily intoxicated, leaning all his weight on Situ Mo. Although Situ Mo suspected he was faking it, she didn't question him deeply. Once home, Gu Weiyi tried to continue his act to win her forgiveness, but Situ Mo sharply saw through his pretense and demanded an explanation for why he hadn't told her about his trip to Germany with Xie Yu Yin.
Gu Weiyi admitted his fault, explaining that since childhood, he was accustomed to making all his decisions independently and merely informing his parents afterward because they didn't understand his scientific pursuits. He genuinely expressed his willingness to change this habit if she disliked it. Seeing his sincere apology, Situ Mo's anger began to dissipate. Gu Weiyi then earnestly told her that if she truly didn't want him to go, he wouldn't.
Situ Mo, however, wouldn't dream of hindering his future and assured him she would wait for his return. The next day, Situ Mo accompanied Gu Weiyi to the hospital for his medical examination, blood tests, and vaccinations. Gu Weiyi, who had a fear of needles, wore sunglasses to avoid seeing his blood being drawn. Situ Mo encouraged him throughout the process, even when he tried to postpone the vaccinations.
A nurse swiftly administered the first vaccine, but a trainee nurse gave the second one, which was inserted deeper and caused his arm to bleed for a while. Situ Mo, concerned, went to get him cotton pads. While waiting, Gu Weiyi received a phone call from Situ Mo's mother, who called to prepare him for Situ Mo's unique way of expressing reluctance to part.
She described a three-stage process: first, Situ Mo would nitpick and find fault, then she would become cold and pretend he didn't exist, and finally, she would become incredibly clingy, like "super glue" that couldn't be shaken off. True to her mother's words, Situ Mo soon became very emotional and pleaded with Gu Weiyi to take her with him.
She tearfully declared that he couldn't go to Germany alone, especially to drink German beer, and worried that "something's going to happen" if he left her. Gu Weiyi, heartbroken by her distress, embraced her and comforted her, assuring her he would return soon. At the airport, Situ Mo tried various methods to prolong their time together, suggesting detours to KFC, to look at "The Lucky Puppy Candy," and to eat ramen.
As the boarding time approached, Gu Weiyi knew he had to leave. He hugged Situ Mo tightly, worried about her being alone, and she tearfully promised to miss him. However, as he walked towards security, Situ Mo suddenly turned away and, feigning strength, walked back, telling him to let her know when he arrived. Six months later, Situ Mo and Jie Er were praised as outstanding employees at their advertising company.
However, when Director Sha Sha delivered the news, they were far from pleased. They insisted on having their names officially credited on their design work, which had been previously attributed to the company's design department. Director Sha Sha dismissed their concerns, suggesting they focus on creating new designs and implying that their persistent attitude was unsuitable for the company's future.
Fed up with the unfair treatment, Situ Mo declared she would resign, choosing to leave the company rather than let her career be dictated by such a person. Inspired by Situ Mo's courage, Jie Er also resigned. Meanwhile, Fu Pei had established his own company, but it was facing financial difficulties. He had failed to pay his sole employee, Chen Xiao Xi, for two consecutive months, leading her to leave.
Wang Shan, home on break, helped him with the accounts and chastised him for his poor management. She urged him to address the unpaid salaries and hire a professional accountant, emphasizing that he couldn't always rely on her. Fu Pei, though playfully calling her the "lady boss," promised to handle things, acknowledging her role in pushing him. Situ Mo, now unemployed and missing Gu Weiyi, was feeling low and had caught a cold.
She video-called Gu Weiyi, who had asked her mother to come stay and care for her. Her mother brought her some homemade walnut water, an old family remedy for colds. While Situ Mo drank it, her mother hesitantly asked about her German visa, which Gu Weiyi had helped her secure after an initial rejection due to suspected immigration tendencies.
She then directly asked Situ Mo when she and Gu Weiyi planned to get married, expressing worry that Gu Weiyi might change his mind while abroad. Situ Mo, annoyed, deflected the question, assuring her mother that she and Gu Weiyi were in daily contact. Back in her room, Situ Mo continued her video call with Gu Weiyi, who sensed her unhappiness, though she kept her troubles to herself.
In Germany, Gu Weiyi encountered Anna, a local female student, who persistently flirted with him despite his clear statements about having a girlfriend in China. She even suggested she could be his "girlfriend here" and keep it a secret. Gu Weiyi firmly rejected her advances. His roommate, oblivious to Gu Weiyi's feelings, openly engaged in affectionate behavior with his own girlfriend and teased Gu Weiyi for his coolness towards Anna.
Gu Weiyi, already feeling the distance from Situ Mo, declared he didn't want to go out that day because his girlfriend was sick and he wanted to be reachable for her. He also revealed that he had already bought a flight ticket to return home, leaving him broke. Around the same time, Lin Zhi Cun visited Situ Mo's former advertising company for business.
While there, he overheard staff members discussing Situ Mo's resignation, learning that Director Sha Sha had taken credit for Situ Mo's design work. Back at home, while charging her robot "Circle," Situ Mo accidentally discovered a "contract" (military pledge) taped under a table. It was a note Gu Weiyi had hidden to secure her agreement to continue living with him. Overjoyed by this hidden message, Situ Mo immediately decided to pack her bags and go to Germany.
Her mother initially tried to stop her, reminding her of her cold, but when Situ Mo declared she was going to "force him to marry me," her mother enthusiastically helped her pack, even trying to include snacks for the journey. Situ Mo decided against informing Gu Weiyi, planning a surprise visit instead, hoping to "attack him when he's unprepared." In Germany, Gu Weiyi grew increasingly worried after not being able to reach Situ Mo for an entire day.
He called Fu Pei in Beijing at 2 AM, asking if he or Wang Shan had heard from her. Fu Pei, groggy from sleep, complained about the late hour and confirmed Situ Mo was busy, adding that her mother was with her. Gu Weiyi mentioned that even Situ Mo's mother wasn't answering his calls. Later, returning to his room, Gu Weiyi was stunned to find someone sleeping in his bed.
His roommate, who was playing games, casually joked that it was "your girlfriend." Gu Weiyi, in disbelief, whispered "Situ Mo." At that moment, Situ Mo stirred and unveiled her face from under the covers. Overwhelmed with joy, Gu Weiyi silently lay beside her, gazing at her sleeping face. The next morning, Gu Weiyi received a phone call from his own mother, who also inquired about his marriage plans with Situ Mo. Gu Weiyi assured her that everything was "in plan."
He then softly asked the still half-asleep Situ Mo if she had come to "force him to marry me." Situ Mo, still dreaming, murmured a reply as if speaking to her own mother. Gu Weiyi then revealed that he had already bought a ticket to fly back to China to propose to her. Situ Mo eventually woke up to the smell of breakfast, which Gu Weiyi had thoughtfully prepared for her.
Later that day, Anna confronted Gu Weiyi again, professing her love for him and asking to see his girlfriend. Gu Weiyi firmly told her he loved someone else. Just then, Situ Mo appeared, declaring, "I'm his girlfriend."
