Meet Yourself Episode 31 Recap
> Meet Yourself Recap
Jin Ming, the owner of the dessert shop, had a girlfriend who cheated on him with a bar singer. His three close friends sought justice for him and went to the bar that night to gang up on Hu Youyu, whom they mistook for the singer. In the end, Hu Youyu was injured and hid in the restroom. Bai Manjun stood alone with a broom to block them until Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou arrived in a hurry.
After Xie Zhiyao contacted Jin Ming, he found out it was all a misunderstanding—the group had mistaken Hu Youyu for a previous singer at the bar. Hu Youyu wanted to downplay the incident, but Bai Manjun insisted that Jin Ming call the police. Her brave act of protecting him without hesitation that night deeply moved Hu Youyu, who returned to his room with reddened eyes.
That evening, Xie Zhiyao couldn’t hold back his feelings and wanted to confess to Xu Hongdou. Unexpectedly, Xu Hongdou stopped him and said they’d talk tomorrow. However, Xie Zhiyao couldn’t shake it off and ended up standing under her window to confess his love, sincerely revealing his situation—even disclosing the available balance on his bank card—to show his genuine intentions. Xu Hongdou pretended to play hard to get and rejected him, but Xie Zhiyao climbed up to her window.
Eventually, they embraced and kissed, officially becoming a couple. Afterward, Xie Zhiyao pretended he had twisted his ankle, scaring Xu Hongdou into rushing to open the door, only to find he was perfectly fine. Under the moonlight, the couple whispered sweet nothings. The next morning, just as the sun rose, Xie Zhiyao arrived on his electric scooter to pick up Xu Hongdou. The two had rice noodles at the village entrance, enjoying their time together.
On the way back, they sat by the road, gazing at Erhai Lake in the distance as Xie Zhiyao made a solemn promise to her. Xiaoqin, watching from afar, was full of envy and asked how Xu Hongdou got her boyfriend to be so responsible. Xu Hongdou smiled, unsure of how to answer. Ever since Xie Xiaochun fell victim to a pig-butchering scam, she seemed to mature overnight, becoming steady and composed.
She now spent most of her time carving at the woodshop and no longer indulged in dreamy fantasies. Occasionally, streamers would come to the village to livestream, and one took notice of her carving skills and helped promote her work. Xu Hongdou handed the signed contract to Lin Na, reminding her to take a picture and send it to her uncle, suggesting she be cautious.
But Lin Na didn’t mind at all—she said she chose to partner with Xu Hongdou to open a guesthouse precisely because Xu Hongdou was professional, dependable, and trustworthy. Meanwhile, Bai Manjun still wanted to stand up for Hu Youyu, coming to the dessert shop daily to demand that Jin Ming apologize. Xie Anai noticed that since Xu Hongdou returned to Yunmiao Village, she rarely came to their house for meals. Xie Zhiyao revealed it was because Xu Hongdou felt shy.
Delighted by this, Xie Anai was overjoyed to learn that Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou were dating. She urged Xie Zhiyao to bring her home for dinner soon. That night, Xie Anai prepared a full table of dishes to welcome them and grew increasingly fond of her future granddaughter-in-law, to the point that Xie Zhiyao felt neglected by his grandmother. The newly hired café employee Xiaoxin forgot to turn off the faucet.
Lin Na received a call and rushed to the shop. Just as she rolled up her pants to clean the floor, Xie Xiaochun came over to help, working quickly and efficiently. Lin Na was pleased to see this. She used to think Xie Xiaochun was immature, but now she saw he had grown up. Blushing, Xie Xiaochun shyly asked whether Lin Na would stay in Yunmiao Village after the guesthouse opened.
Lin Na nodded without hesitation, saying she had no plans to leave for now. Besides, the village was about to open the Shaohua Book House, and she believed business would thrive, making it a good place to stay. However, director Zhang Mingyu had his eyes on a century-old house and was willing to do a protective renovation. The issue was its remote location.
But Xie Zhiyuan didn’t think this was a problem, arguing that the house was surrounded by tie-dye workshops and guesthouses, and since the village was small and compact, walking was actually the most convenient option—there was no need for tourists to arrive by car. Now that Xu Jianguo found a job selling grain at a supermarket, Xu’s mother felt more at ease and mailed some local delicacies to their daughters.
Xie Anai took Xu Hongdou around the village, delivering goods to neighbors. In truth, she was subtly introducing Xu Hongdou to everyone, proudly showing off her future granddaughter-in-law. Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin visited Grandpa Yang’s house to persuade him to rent out his old home for a book house, but he refused, opposing the idea of turning the village into a tourist spot. As they were turned away at the door, they ran into Xie Anai and Xu Hongdou.
Upon hearing the situation, Xie Anai brought Xu Hongdou in to speak with him, and within minutes they had a deal. Grandpa Yang even gave them some of his cured meat as a gift.
