> See You Again Recap
Jin Ayin was furious that Xiang Qinyu actually left when she told him to, leaving her to deal with the aftermath. She vowed that if he didn't apologize immediately, she would show him what real death was like. Meanwhile, Xiang Qinyu tried to give candy to a child, but the child's mother quickly intervened, scolding her child for taking things from strangers and warning about the dangers of being taken away.
Xiang Qinyu, recalling his master's words, mused that "women down the mountain are all tigers," and told the woman to "disappear." Jin Ayin approached Teng Xi, asking for Chi Yu's parents' home address. Teng Xi, pleased, provided the address and advised Jin Ayin that Chi Yu was very afraid of his father. She suggested that if Jin Ayin could win over his parents first, their relationship would be secured.
Xiang Qinyu arrived at Chi Yu’s family home, where he was tied up by Chi Yu's uncle. His uncle immediately recognized him, calling him "Yu" and urging him to return home, emphasizing how worried his parents were. Despite Xiang Qinyu’s protests that they had the wrong person and that he was only there to investigate Chi Yu's disappearance, the family insisted he was Chi Yu. His father, enraged by his denial, nearly attacked him but was stopped by his mother.
They insisted they had watched him grow up and couldn't be mistaken, expressing concern for his mental state. Xiang Qinyu reiterated that he was not Chi Yu and requested to be untied, but his pleas were met with anger. While still at Chi Yu's house, Xiang Qinyu noticed photos on the wall.
In one group photo, he recognized a girl he had seen in his own time, who had tragically jumped off a building while holding a newspaper with his picture. He asked Chi Yu’s family if they knew this girl. Chi Yu's mother had never heard of the girl. She suggested asking Li Longda, who was also in the photo.
She then asked Xiang Qinyu if he remembered who attacked him, revealing that the police had told them Chi Yu was beaten and pushed into the water. Xiang Qinyu was shocked to learn that Chi Yu had been assaulted before falling into the water. Chi Yu's mother expressed her grief, feeling that her son had suffered greatly, and urged him to recover slowly, stating that his well-being was all that mattered, even if he couldn't fully heal.
A crew member informed Jin Ayin that the first payment for the on-set screenwriters had been transferred. Thrilled, Jin Ayin received the money and immediately called her grandmother to share the good news, mentioning she received over ten thousand yuan. Her grandmother, while drying tea leaves, chatted about her social life and reminded Jin Ayin to keep the money for herself and take care of her health, also expressing how much she missed her.
After the call, Jin Ayin pondered whether to keep the 100,000 yuan Li Longda had given her at the bar. After much internal struggle, reminding herself that she wasn't someone who took money casually, she eventually decided to deposit it into her bank account, feeling a step closer to her million-yuan goal. Jin Ayin spotted Li Longda interacting intimately with Ms. Fan. Ms. Fan affectionately called him 'baby', and he promised obedience in exchange for money.
Ms. Fan instructed him to always answer her calls and be available whenever she needed him. Jin Ayin silently judged, thinking he was too young to stop working hard and that the entertainment industry was tough. When Li Longda then saw Jin Ayin, she feigned ignorance, claiming she hadn't seen anything. Li Longda apologized for Ms. Fan's odd behavior, explaining she wasn't well.
He then asked why Jin Ayin was avoiding him, suggesting it might be because he left early during their last drink. Jin Ayin reassured him it wasn’t that, but subtly hinted that she had witnessed his interaction with Ms. Fan. She told him she wouldn't expose his secret, but her heart ached to see him in such a compromising position.
Li Longda, seizing the opportunity, confessed that making money was hard for him and asked Jin Ayin to treat him to dinner. Over dinner, Jin Ayin advised Li Longda, as a rising actor, to avoid scandals and not rely on women for financial gain. Li Longda, amused by her naivete, jokingly offered her hush money. Jin Ayin, however, winced inwardly at the sight of the expensive meal, knowing she would be footing the bill.
After dinner, Jin Ayin returned the 100,000 yuan that Li Longda had previously given her, explaining that she knew it was hard for him to earn money and he shouldn't be so wasteful. Li Longda was touched, remarking that he always spent money on women, and it was the first time a woman had given money back to him.
Jin Ayin then seized the opportunity to press him about Chi Yu's disappearance, reminding him that he was at the Magpie Bar that night. Li Longda, clearly uncomfortable, tried to deflect and claimed he knew nothing. To change the subject, he headed to the cashier, but Jin Ayin stopped him, insisting that she would pay since she had offered to treat him, or at least they should split the bill.
She continued to advise him to be careful with his private life, drawing parallels to the story of "Ball of Fat," where superficial judgments hide true kindness. Li Longda claimed he listened to her advice. As they left the restaurant, they noticed a planking competition where the longest plank holder could win a balance bike. Spotting this, Jin Ayin decided to participate, knowing Xiang Qinyu was interested in balance bikes.
Li Longda encouraged her to give up, pointing out the other strong competitors, but Jin Ayin stubbornly replied that she could endure anything. After a strenuous plank, Jin Ayin emerged victorious. She recalled that she was never the best student, but excelled in endurance challenges like swimming and long-distance running. Li Longda offered to buy her a new, better model, but Jin Ayin insisted on winning this one.
Having secured the balance bike, she initially intended to give it to Xiang Qinyu. However, remembering his abandonment, she angrily gave the bike to a delighted Li Longda instead. Xiang Qinyu decided to find Li Longda after confirming Jin Ayin's safety. He unexpectedly encountered Hu, who was annoyed with Li Longda for upsetting Director Feng. Hu, surprised to see "Chi Yu" back, was concerned about his memory loss, assuming it was due to the drowning incident.
Xiang Qinyu pressed him for Li Longda's whereabouts, claiming he didn't recognize Hu. Hu reminded him that they, along with Li Longda, had been drinking at the Magpie Bar on the night of Chi Yu's disappearance. Hu recounted that Chi Yu went out to take a call, and Li Longda followed him. When Li Longda returned, he told Hu that Chi Yu had been pushed into the water.
Xiang Qinyu then revealed that he had seen a flustered Li Longda running away, as if he had seen a ghost. Hu, believing Xiang Qinyu’s memory was severely damaged, suggested he return to play the lead role in his drama, worried about its sales. Li Longda drove Jin Ayin home and walked her to her door, admiring her artistic neighborhood. He cautiously asked if she had a boyfriend. Just as he finished speaking, Xiang Qinyu suddenly appeared, clearly upset.
He questioned their closeness, demanding to know since when they were intimate enough for Li Longda to walk her home. Jin Ayin, wanting to provoke Xiang Qinyu, mockingly called Li Longda "Brother Longda" and told Xiang Qinyu it was none of his business, asking him why he was suddenly so "obedient" after she told him to leave earlier. Li Longda interjected, telling "Chi Yu" (Xiang Qinyu) not to be rude to a cute girl.
Xiang Qinyu retorted, accusing Li Longda of being bored with "delicacies" and wanting "radishes and cabbage," implying Jin Ayin was less desirable. Jin Ayin defended herself, and Xiang Qinyu grabbed Li Longda's arm, telling him not to be touchy-feely with Jin Ayin and reminding her as a girl to be more decent, accusing her of being the "double-standards monster" she often criticized.
Jin Ayin fired back, stating their relationship was more than just being walked home; they had even gone on a date, confirming it with Li Longda. She challenged Xiang Qinyu, asking what right he had to comment on her behavior. Xiang Qinyu claimed that as her "fan," she shouldn't embarrass him. Jin Ayin, annoyed, told him he was crazy and went upstairs, while still sweetly bidding "Brother Longda" farewell.
Li Longda told her to be careful and that they would meet another day. As Jin Ayin went upstairs, Li Longda tried to leave, but Xiang Qinyu stopped him. Xiang Qinyu immediately confronted Li Longda, demanding to know if he had told Chi Yu's family about him. Li Longda deflected, noting that "Chi Yu" was back but hadn't visited his worried family.
Xiang Qinyu then physically warned Li Longda to stay away from Jin Ayin, stating she was not a woman to be trifled with, implying Li Longda was toying with her. Li Longda, in pain, questioned if Xiang Qinyu was jealous because he liked Jin Ayin. Xiang Qinyu vehemently denied it but accused Li Longda of hiding something about Chi Yu's disappearance. Li Longda became nervous, fearing Xiang Qinyu might recall something. He claimed he had nothing to hide and, seeing an opportunity, quickly slipped away, leaving Xiang Qinyu to mutter about Li Longda's unrepentant, ungrateful nature.
