Go Into Your Heart Episode 2 Recap
> Go Into Your Heart Recap
Cheng Liao, still feeling remorseful, apologized to Sheng Jingchu for mistakenly accusing him of being a thief, realizing it was absurd to suspect him of stealing an old phone. She offered to record a public apology video. Sheng Jingchu, however, was not upset, commending her for her righteousness. Cheng Liao then admitted that she had initially planned to interview him after the tournament but was hesitant after their misunderstanding.
To her surprise, Sheng Jingchu agreed to the interview on the spot. Cheng Liao then suggested they get something to eat and led him to her family’s restaurant. At the restaurant, Cheng Liao introduced her father's establishment and offered to cook them fried rice, as it was the restaurant's day off. While eating, Sheng Jingchu meticulously separated each ingredient on his plate.
When Cheng Liao questioned him, he explained that he had been alone for a long time and eating this way made it "less boring." Cheng Liao playfully chided him, demonstrating how to eat fried rice properly and joking that a doctor examining his stomach would find it strangely layered like a pyramid. Suddenly, Cheng Liao’s father returned, startling her.
She quickly hid Sheng Jingchu and their plates, explaining that her father still treated her like a child and would be furious if he found them alone together so late. Her father, smelling the fried rice and noticing the air conditioning, quickly deduced Cheng Liao's presence. He playfully scolded her for cooking late at night and risking a kitchen fire. Cheng Liao managed to convince him that she was alone, and after tidying up, they prepared to leave.
She secretly promised Sheng Jingchu that she would return to rescue him. Cheng Liao later tried to invent excuses to return to the restaurant. Meanwhile, her father saw Sheng Jingchu on the news, recognizing him as a prominent figure. He enthusiastically suggested transforming their restaurant into a Go-themed establishment, featuring Sheng Jingchu’s photos. Cheng Yi, who had been present all along, vehemently objected.
She revealed that Sheng Jingchu had once refused her an interview, leading her to describe him as having "the face of an angel but the heart of a devil." She then strictly forbade anyone in the family from mentioning his name again. Cheng Liao eventually found a valid excuse, claiming she had left her bag at the restaurant, and hurried back to the restaurant, calling out to Sheng Jingchu that she was there to free him.
As she unlocked the door, Sheng Jingchu appeared, causing her to stumble. He quickly caught her in his arms, and a spark ignited between them. Cheng Liao apologized for accidentally locking him in and suggested rescheduling their interview. Sheng Jingchu then asked to add her on WeChat, which she happily accepted. As she was doing so, Cheng Yi called, prompting Cheng Liao to quickly wrap up the interaction and pretend she was already on her way home.
After their interview, where Sheng Jingchu shared his unique experience of seeing colors through Go and named "pomelo candy" as his favorite thing, Cheng Liao poured her heart into writing her first-ever vibrant interview article, feeling a deep sense of gratitude towards him. The next day at the office, her colleagues were unusually polite, informing her they would no longer ask Sheng Jingchu to bring breakfast. Ms. Zhao also suggested they handle their own breakfasts.
Zhang Li Sha gave Cheng Liao an impressed look. Ms. Liu then lauded Cheng Liao for her "outstanding" performance and promptly instructed someone to draft her application for full-time employment, eagerly anticipating her future interviews. Confused by this sudden positive shift, Cheng Liao’s friend showed her photos of herself and Sheng Jingchu that had gone viral online, likely taken by fans.
The internet was abuzz with speculation, featuring headlines like "Sheng Jing Chu's mysterious girlfriend is exposed" and "The Go Master is together with a mysterious girl," with many calling Cheng Liao his "mystery woman" or "girlfriend." Upset by the unexpected fame, Cheng Liao needed a moment to calm down. Sheng Jingchu then visited his psychologist, revealing that he had met a girl who appeared in color, a first for him, even though everything else remained black and white.
The psychologist was overjoyed, claiming credit for this breakthrough after years of unsuccessful treatments elsewhere. He declared Cheng Liao the "password" to unlocking Sheng Jingchu's soul. When Sheng Jingchu asked for guidance, the psychologist advised him to immediately seek her out to ensure her colors hadn't faded.
He emphasized seeing her frequently, suggesting "three times a day" as an increased "dosage" for his severe condition, urging him to "hold on to her firmly" and "look at her at all times" to prevent the colors from fleeting. Meanwhile, at Jiuzhou Dojo, Cao Xihe and Eldest Senior Brother were engaged in a game of Go.
Eldest Senior Brother, despite his insightful Go strategies and clear teaching, had a history of losing in the first round of tournaments since winning the Tianyuan title at 25. Cao Xihe playfully attempted to snatch Eldest Senior Brother's "outdated phone," believing it was the cause of his poor performance, but Eldest Senior Brother quickly retrieved it.
When Xiaolan arrived, Cao Xihe, who secretly harbored feelings for her, tried to appear nonchalant by having Eldest Senior Brother offer her the snacks he had prepared. Xiaolan, however, easily saw through his pretense and acknowledged his efforts. In a misguided attempt to impress her further, Cao Xihe offered Xiaolan his annotated elective course thesis, but she informed him she had already amended it with her classmates.
Undeterred, he dramatically declared that no one but him was allowed to touch her thesis. Both Xiaolan and Eldest Senior Brother found his "bossy chairman" act amusing, with Xiaolan pointing out that the true charm lay in the "chairman" title, not merely being "bossy." Driven by the psychologist's advice, Sheng Jingchu deliberately visited Cheng Liao's father's restaurant, hoping to see her.
Mr. Cheng was ecstatic, warmly welcoming him and proudly showcasing his new Go-themed menu, which featured dishes with names like "Game World" and "King of Showa," explaining their significance (white jellyfish and black fish skin resembling Go pieces, and Showa referring to Japan's Showa era, used for a steamed seafood dish with Japanese tofu).
He then offered Sheng Jingchu a complimentary meal in exchange for a follow on his "Uncle Cheng is Super Cute" Weibo account, an offer Sheng Jingchu accepted. When Cheng Liao returned and saw Sheng Jingchu, she was horrified and frantically urged him to leave, reminding him of Cheng Yi's earlier threats and explicitly telling him never to seek her out at the restaurant.
Moments later, Cheng Yi spotted Sheng Jingchu’s retreating figure from afar and nearly rushed out to confront him, but Cheng Liao managed to pull her back inside. Eldest Senior Brother and Cao Xihe continued trying to reach Sheng Jingchu by phone, but he remained unreachable, leading them to speculate that he was likely in love and keeping it a secret.
Cao Xihe expressed his distrust of Cheng Liao, viewing her as a video company employee with suspicious motives, while Eldest Senior Brother held a more positive opinion of her. Meanwhile, Cheng Liao was deeply distressed by online comments, particularly one that unflatteringly called her face a "bun." She inwardly defended her appearance, believing she had a "heart-shaped face" (a "melon seed face" with a round forehead and pointed chin).
Her anxiety escalated when she received a congratulatory message from Xu Chi regarding her rumored relationship with Sheng Jingchu. His subsequent lack of reply to her denial confirmed her fear that he believed the rumors. Frustrated, she blamed Sheng Jingchu for following her father's Weibo account. Then, Mr. Qi, Sheng Jingchu’s assistant (whose given name is Xiao Jie), called Cheng Liao, instructing her not to "hype this up."
Cheng Liao, at her breaking point, angrily demanded Sheng Jingchu unfollow her father and vehemently denied any self-promotional intentions, questioning whether Mr. Qi's directive came from Sheng Jingchu or himself. Mr. Qi asserted he represented Sheng Jingchu, to which Cheng Liao declared she would never meet Sheng Jingchu again, blocked Mr. Qi, and ended the call. Worried about the trouble he had inadvertently caused Cheng Liao, Sheng Jingchu revisited his psychologist.
The psychologist joyfully confirmed that Cheng Liao’s colors had not faded and reaffirmed her role as the "crucial breakthrough" and "medicine" for his condition, reinforcing his earlier advice to see her frequently and "hold on to her firmly." Sheng Jingchu then found Cheng Liao at her workplace. She confronted him about his assistant’s phone call, which Sheng Jingchu denied authorizing. He suggested they talk somewhere more private to avoid paparazzi.
At a secluded location, Cheng Liao clarified that her earlier angry words were "just a joke" and expressed genuine gratitude for the opportunity he had given her to write her "first interview article" as a "primary level editor." Sheng Jingchu apologized for Mr. Qi’s words, but Cheng Liao dismissed it, saying Mr. Qi was acting "for your own good" and acknowledging her own "words out of line."
She suggested they let the rumors "drift away with the sea breeze" and expressed her hope that the incident would not affect their burgeoning friendship. Following this, Ms. Liu assigned Cheng Liao to go to Suzhou for a follow-up interview with Sheng Jingchu. Simultaneously, she secretly arranged for a colleague to discreetly photograph them, hoping to generate romantic gossip for the publication. However, the colleague later plagiarized the content Cheng Liao had gathered, publishing it under their own name, which led to a heated argument between Cheng Liao and her colleague.
