Meet Yourself Episode 40 (Ending) Recap
> Meet Yourself Recap
The next day, when they returned to the hotel, Xu Hongdou looked at the clock in the lobby with a sense of nostalgia. To Xie Zhiyao, clocks represented time; to Xu Hongdou, she felt like one of the gears inside the clock, working with her colleagues to keep precise time, often forgetting her own. Since Bai Manjun left, Hu Youyu had been gloomy, especially when he saw couples checking into the guesthouse.
He sat by the window with fruit tree seeds in his hands, reminiscing about his moments with Bai Manjun, and resolved to go to Beijing. Xie Xiaochun, knowing he couldn’t let go of her, encouraged him to bravely pursue love—whether he caught up with her or not would depend on fate. Luo Quan came to visit his daughter Xiaohulu again. Xie Xiaochun cooked for him and sat down to have a heartfelt conversation.
She believed both had shared responsibility for the divorce, but she had now adapted to her new life. She didn’t want to start over just because she was moved. Since they weren’t right for each other, there was no need to force it. No matter what, both she and Luo Quan were Xiaohulu’s closest people. Xie Zhiyao brought Xu Hongdou back to Yunmiao Village.
Auntie Gui prepared a big meal to welcome them and announced that Hu Youyu was about to head to Beijing. He invited everyone to the bar for his final performance. Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao were going to see the birth of a foal, so Lin Na and Xie Xiaoxia took three aunties to the bar instead. Though some applauded Hu Youyu’s performance, most were chatting and drinking. The high prices of drinks and food shocked the aunties.
A man tried to add Lin Na on WeChat, so she linked arms with Xie Xiaoxia and claimed he was her boyfriend. Auntie Baoping asked if they were dating. Lin Na quickly explained that Xie Xiaoxia was her younger brother and promised to personally prepare a wedding gift in the future. After a night of waiting, the foal was finally born. Xie Zhiyao watched the sunrise with Xu Hongdou, shoulder to shoulder, feeling incredibly at peace.
He seized the moment to confess his love again. Her passionate response felt like honey to him—sweet and satisfying. A year later, Yunmiao Village was bustling. Xu Hongdou’s guesthouse had its soft opening. She was in her element, checking every detail of the room setup and was quite pleased with Xiao Qin and the others.
Her parents were coming to Yunmiao Village, and Xie Zhiyao was so nervous to meet them that he spent ages picking out a suit to go to the airport. Luckily, Xu’s parents really liked Xie Zhiyao. The family chatted and laughed on the way back. His parents and Anai had been waiting at home, and the elders quickly hit it off, leaving the young couple sidelined.
Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoxia was headed to a wood carving studio in Xiamen with support from his master. Lin Na, noticing his feelings for her, gently told him they were just like siblings. He accepted it calmly. Damai became the first guest at the guesthouse. Ma Qiushan and Hu Youyu received their invitations and returned immediately to support Xu Hongdou. After a year of hard work, both Ma Qiushan and Hu Youyu achieved great success in love and career.
Hu Youyu and Bai Manjun were as sweet as ever. That evening, Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao hosted a banquet for everyone. Ma Qiushan, Hu Youyu, Lin Na, Damai, and others gathered to share their stories and toast the place that had once sheltered their restless hearts. Yunmiao Village wasn’t just a place for healing—it was a place where dreams began anew. The strength they found at Youfeng Inn had benefited them endlessly.
Sitting by the river, Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou admired the night view, reminiscing about all they had been through and cherishing the beauty they had found. Xie Zhiyao pointed at the stars and asked which one was her best friend, which one was her grandma, and which one was his mother. Xu Hongdou didn’t respond. They leaned into each other, hoping time would stand still in this perfect moment.
