Meet Yourself Episode 29 Recap
> Meet Yourself Recap
Xu’s father took Xu Hongdou back to tidy up their old house. Seeing the familiar layout and scenery brought a wave of emotion; his youngest daughter had suddenly grown up. The parents were emotionally attached to the house, never thinking of selling it. Instead, they planned to rent it out to those in need. After retiring, Xu’s father couldn’t sit still and always wanted to open a small shop.
Xu Hongdou advised him not to overdo it—after all, starting a shop was like starting a business and would be exhausting. She tentatively asked how he felt about her starting a business and becoming a hotel owner. Her father fully supported her decision. Just then, Xu Hongdou received a call saying her cousin Kexin had been in a car accident. Terrified, she and her father rushed to the hospital. The whole family was frantic with worry.
Fortunately, thanks to the doctor’s quick action, both the mother and baby were saved. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the matter was resolved, Xu Hongdou was still shaken. Xie Zhiyao sensed her anxiety and instinctively offered to visit her in Beijing. When she didn’t respond, he thought she disagreed and awkwardly backtracked, saying he was joking and still busy selling potatoes after seeing off a team-building group.
Shaohua Bookstore held a meeting and approved the Yunmiao Village project. Xie Zhiyao quickly shared the good news with Xu Hongdou, who was genuinely happy. From initially introducing the bookstore, to personally welcoming the director, to finally bidding publicly, every step was nerve-racking. Now that Shaohua Bookstore was confirmed, Xie Zhiyao suggested that Xu Hongdou consider returning to Dali once the bookstore was completed. Xu Hongdou didn’t reject the idea, hinting that there was still hope for him.
Because of this, Champion noticed that Xie Zhiyao had been smiling more lately. Xie Zhiyao believed that after two years of hard work, he would finally be able to marry. Just then, Xiaoqin ran over in a brand-new dress to show off. She had reconciled with her boyfriend and was full of sweet joy, even encouraging Xie Zhiyuan to hurry up and settle down.
Xie Zhiyao confidently said he would have a wife, but Champion grew more skeptical, thinking he might be delusional. Xu Hongmi returned to visit her parents and sister, and the whole family was reunited. But Xu’s parents argued—his wife didn’t support him opening a shop or going back to work. Fortunately, Xu Hongmi persuaded them and resolved the conflict.
Seeing this, Xu Hongdou took the opportunity to announce she was returning to Yunmiao Village to buy the guesthouse and become the owner—and she had already found a business partner. But everyone immediately changed the subject and pretended to be busy, offering no response. That night, Xu Hongdou sneaked into her eldest sister’s room, then into her parents’ room, making it impossible for them to sleep. Because of that, Xu Hongmi and Xu Hongdou talked.
She said their parents were very open-minded and would support whatever she chose to do, just like they had supported Xu Hongmi through her career and marriage. Xu Hongdou was deeply moved. She felt like the winding mechanism in a hotel clock—always being pushed forward by life. It wasn’t until her best friend Chen Nanxing passed away that she truly woke up.
She no longer wanted to live like the walking dead and finally found the life she wanted in Dali. Xu Hongmi understood how Xu Hongdou felt. She told her not to dwell in the past but to stay strong and look to the future. Xu Hongdou was worried that if her business failed, all her savings would be lost. She hadn’t even had a proper relationship—what would become of her when she grew old? Xu Hongmi told her not to overthink, to live in the moment, and that family would always be her strongest support.
