Meet Yourself Episode 28 Recap
> Meet Yourself Recap
Xu Hongdou and her parents were packing up to move houses when they accidentally came across an old electric fan that hadn’t been used for years. Her grandmother had scrimped and saved to buy it for her back in the day, and now it had become one of her most treasured memories. After everything was done, Xu Hongdou contacted a friend and mentioned the transfer of the guesthouse.
Her friend thought she should buy it, saying that being your own boss is always better than working for someone else. Xu Hongdou was moved by the idea. As the Shaohua Bookstore team arrived in Yunmiao Village, Zhang Mingyu noticed that Xu Hongdou wasn’t among the people welcoming them. During their field inspection, they experienced the local culture and infrastructure.
When Huang Xinxin learned that the visitors were staying a bit longer, she felt uneasy, but Xie Zhiyao reassured her not to worry. That night, Xie Zhiyao received another call from Xu Hongdou. Hearing the wind outside, he quickly placed his phone by the window so she could feel the breeze of Dali. Xu Hongdou thought of Youfeng Guesthouse and felt a rush of emotion. She noticed it was pouring rain outside.
Even though they were in different cities, if they missed each other, where one had wind, the other had rain. Bai Manjun often went to the bar where Hu Youyu performed as a singer and had become his most loyal fan. Sometimes she would get completely drunk and sing loudly on the way back. Hu Youyu, trying to keep the electric bike steady, couldn’t prevent her excitement from making them both tumble into the roadside grass.
They simply lay down, singing as they gazed at the stars. When she had spare time, Lin Na would share interesting stories from Yunmiao Village with Xu Hongdou and Damai. She thought Hu Youyu wasn’t good enough for Bai Manjun. Although Bai Manjun had been married and her daughter was in college, she was still a rich and beautiful woman—definitely out of Hu Youyu’s league. Actually, Damai felt it was more regrettable about Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao.
In everyone’s eyes, they were a perfect match doomed to end. Xu Hongdou suddenly asked Damai if she would change a story’s ending due to reader demand. Before Damai could answer, the moving truck had already arrived downstairs. Lately, Xie Zhiyao had been feeling overwhelmed. The bookstore matter was still unresolved, the guesthouse had no one to take over, and everything remained in limbo, making him anxious.
As he passed by Youfeng Guesthouse, he couldn’t help but look up at the window of the room Xu Hongdou once stayed in. He picked up a stone and tossed it up, but to his embarrassment, it was Xie Xiaochun who opened the window. Xie Xiaochun later found out what was troubling Xie Zhiyuan and advised him to know his limits and not stress himself out.
That evening, Bai Manjun gave Auntie Guiqin a massage while Lin Na watched cooking videos nearby. Hu Youyu was sitting by the door playing the guitar. After Auntie Guiqin left, Bai Manjun gave Hu Youyu a finger massage. Seeing this, Lin Na knowingly went back to her room. Xu Hongdou chatted with Kexin about work and life, contemplating the meaning of it all and sharing the beauty of Yunmiao Village.
In Xu Hongdou’s eyes, Yunmiao was a rustic place with pristine green mountains and waters, where time passed slowly—a stark contrast to city life. The small village held a fixed group of people who interacted daily. It wasn’t bustling or extravagant, but it offered peace and longing. While they were talking, high school classmate Li Yulin came to deliver something to Xu’s parents. They made dumplings and asked Xu Hongdou to deliver them.
She learned that Li Yulin sold insurance, so she bought car insurance for her father. Because Li Yulin had seen Xu Hongdou’s photos taken in Yunmiao Village, she used her popularity to organize a tour group of twenty people. Xie Zhiyao was very grateful when he heard and immediately informed Xie Xiaochun and others to prepare for their arrival. Xie Anai and the aunties laughed and teased Xie Zhiyao when they saw it.
With Bai Manjun’s help, Hu Youyu finally started learning how to cook and entered the world of daily life. Knowing that the kindergarten was about to hold a party, Xie Xiaochun asked Hu Youyu, who was volunteering to coach the kids for choir, to let Xiaohulu lead. But Hu Youyu knew Xiaohulu couldn’t sing well and quickly refused. Bai Manjun stepped in to smooth things over. Xie Xiaochun tried to improve her daughter’s singing at home, but to no avail.
Over the next period, Xu Hongdou helped Xie Zhiyao contact travel groups and manage the guesthouse. On one hand, this boosted Yunmiao Village’s revenue; on the other, it relieved Xie Zhiyao’s pressing problems. Their frequent calls didn’t go unnoticed by Xu’s parents, and the bond between Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou grew stronger each day.
