Go Into Your Heart Episode 41 (Ending) Recap
> Go Into Your Heart Recap
Jiang Yuda found an investor for Jiuzhou Dojo, who turned out to be his father, Jiang Ban Cheng. As Yu Da’s father, a renowned entrepreneur, Jiang Ban Cheng was introduced as the "deity of fortune" and the future biggest investor for the Jiuzhou Club. Jiang Ban Cheng expressed his approval of the detailed and practical business proposal, acknowledging that investing in Go was meaningful and had market potential, so funding would not be an issue.
He stated that the successful execution of the plan would depend on the professionals at the dojo, and confirmed that the Elder Martial Uncle would serve as the CEO of the newly formed Jiuzhou Club. Following the investment meeting, Jiang Ban Cheng arranged to meet Cheng Yi to understand her relationship with his son, given Yu Da was his heir. Cheng Yi, sensing the purpose of the meeting, openly addressed their age gap and the potential societal disapproval.
She asserted that in matters of the heart, only she and Yu Da truly knew if they were meant for each other. She explained that meeting Yu Da had given her the courage to defy conventions and expressed her desire for Jiang Ban Cheng to approve their relationship so they could be together until the end.
Impressed by her clear and direct speech, Jiang Ban Cheng admitted that he and his wife had not adequately raised Yu Da, who used to be a "carefree airhead" engaging in "monkey business," much like his younger self. However, he noted Yu Da's recent transformation into a mature young man, largely crediting Cheng Yi’s influence, and observed Yu Da’s improved Go skills.
Jiang Ban Cheng then gave his blessing to their relationship, but not without a humorous warning to Cheng Yi to keep Yu Da in line, promising to "teach him a lesson" if he ever dared to bully her. Cheng Yi confidently assured him that Yu Da "wouldn't dare." The Jiuzhou Club soon celebrated its grand opening.
At the ceremony, Xie Chang'an delivered a speech, attributing the dojo's journey to his father, Master Xie Han Zhou's hard work, and proclaiming a new beginning for Jiuzhou with renewed vigor. However, Sheng Jingchu was notably absent from the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Cheng Liao later found him by his master's memorial, where Sheng Jingchu confessed he wasn't ready to stand as a Jiuzhou Go player.
Xie Chang'an, now the CEO, approached him and urged him to reconsider, emphasizing that everyone hoped he would join the team and participate in matches, assuring him that even if he lost, his persistent effort would lead to recovery. Sheng Jingchu then asked Jiang Yuda to find Yao Ke. Jiang Yuda located Yao Ke, who was preparing to leave the city, feeling like there was no longer a place for him.
Jiang Yuda reminded Yao Ke that Master Xie Han Zhou had formally accepted him as a disciple, and no matter what, he would always be Sheng Jingchu’s junior and Jiang Yuda’s Martial Uncle, highlighting the enduring bond of the dojo. Yao Ke, realizing Sheng Jingchu had sent Jiang Yuda, expressed deep shame and his current inability to play Go after his ban.
He offered to be Sheng Jingchu’s training partner for as long as needed, or to do anything else to atone for his past mistakes. Sheng Jingchu told Yao Ke that he had once believed them to be very similar, both obsessed with Go and the desire to win. He acknowledged Yao Ke’s love for Go, but pointed out that his "excessive stubbornness" had led him astray.
Sheng Jingchu clarified that he never considered Yao Ke an enemy because they both shared a profound love for the game. He then apologized to Yao Ke for the harsh words he used during their previous confrontation, admitting they were said to provoke the truth and must have hurt him. Yao Ke accepted his deserved punishment and expressed his thanks. Sheng Jingchu reassured Yao Ke that his passion for Go was never doubted.
He believed that by dedicating himself to teaching children and preserving the legacy of Go, Yao Ke could rediscover his "original intention" and passion, and eventually become "Jiuzhou's best coach" once he had released his obsession with winning. Yao Ke, moved by Sheng Jingchu's sincerity, asked if he truly deserved a second chance, to which Sheng Jingchu affirmed he would always be their junior. The two reconciled, their long-standing conflict finally resolved.
To help Sheng Jingchu, Cheng Liao traveled to his hometown to gather clues about his childhood and his mother's cooking, developing a comprehensive plan to help him recover his lost memories and confidence. Cheng Liao, referring to Sheng Jingchu as Panda, then suggested they relax by cooking together, now that important matters were settled. She told him that cooking for those she loved was a source of great happiness for her.
While she initially proposed making a dish they had previously attempted, the focus quickly shifted to his mother's "Song Sao Fish Soup." Sheng Jingchu, however, expressed his fear that if he moved past his pain, he might forget his master and his mother's Song Sao Fish Soup, much like how time had blurred other childhood memories.
Cheng Liao lovingly reassured him that a person's memory for flavors is incredibly precise, and his inability to accept the taste of the fish soup he had just tried proved he had not forgotten his parents or the soup's authentic taste. She promised to help him recreate the exact taste of his mother's Song Sao Fish Soup from his memory.
As they cooked the fish soup, Sheng Jingchu tasted it and was enveloped in a flashback, clearly recalling precious moments with his parents. Cheng Liao explained that while even the most cherished loved ones eventually leave, their memories, safely kept in one's heart, mean they are never truly gone. She compared it to the fish soup, which, like his parents, had always remained preserved in the most precious part of his heart.
She extended this analogy to Go, assuring him that every time he picked up a Go stone, his master would be there with him. Finally, Sheng Jingchu, finding peace, asked Cheng Liao to teach him Go again. In a symbolic Go game, Sheng Jingchu envisioned his master, Xie Han Zhou, who smiled contentedly, a sign that Sheng Jingchu had successfully navigated his grief, and his master could now truly rest, having seen his disciple complete his "last assignment."
With a renewed spirit, Sheng Jingchu and Cheng Liao appeared in public. Yan Xiao hosted a "Yan Xiao's Talk Show" for Pinecone Video, celebrating the Jiuzhou Club's grand slam victory under Sheng Jingchu’s leadership. Yan Xiao introduced Sheng Jingchu and his fiancée, Cheng Liao, highlighting Cheng Liao's previous role as a "flavor ambassador" for "Taste of Memory" and the success of her "Mr. Cheng's Restaurant." She noted that the couple was widely regarded online as a "perfect couple."
Yan Xiao then asked Cheng Liao about her first meeting with Sheng Jingchu. After a lighthearted jest, Cheng Liao recounted chasing a bus for an interview, which led to their fateful encounter. Sheng Jingchu interjected, revealing his own memory of their first meeting: when he was six years old, crying in a hospital, and she offered him a pomelo candy.
When asked to summarize their relationship in one sentence, Sheng Jingchu tenderly stated, "I'll do whatever I can to fulfill your wishes." Cheng Liao, wanting to convey a private message, told Sheng Jingchu that although their memories of their initial meeting might differ, "holding onto your hand on the bus was the best decision of my life."
Sheng Jingchu responded with profound words, expressing that Cheng Liao had "crossed time and space, passing rainbows and storms" to reach him, bringing colors, melodies, and healing to his once dull, silent, and hopeless world. He concluded by saying that in the vast crowd, she was "the only one I ever see."
