Shining For One Thing Episode 11 Recap
> Shining For One Thing Recap
Lin Beixing went to Mr. Gao's office to check the college entrance examination candidate numbers. She discovered Zhang Wansen was listed as candidate 01, which left her confused, wondering why she had seen him after the college entrance examination if he had gone to the lighthouse instead of taking the exam. Meanwhile, Gao Ge, who had skipped class to attend an art college exam, called Yang Chaoyang to ask him to cover for her.
When Gao Ge expressed suspicion about the training institution's reliability, Yang Chaoyang falsely reassured her that everything was fine, concealing its true nature. Later, during a class meeting before the third mock exam, Mr. Liu asked students to write down their dreams for the future. Lin Beixing's paper remained blank. She then approached Zhang Wansen, asking if his June assessment would conflict with the college entrance examination.
He confirmed it would, stating that even if he rushed back "at the speed of light," he would only be able to see her "coming out of the exam room." This reply led Lin Beixing to suspect that Zhang Wansen might have failed his assessment, missed the college entrance examination, and subsequently committed suicide at the lighthouse in her original timeline.
Zhang Wansen was seen at a pet clinic, gaining practical experience, but he struggled and felt unwell during a surgery, stepping away to vomit. Lin Beixing went to the pet clinic to check on him. She admitted that she regretted her earlier words about separation being common. As his departure date loomed, she grew fearful of never seeing him again.
She passionately pleaded with him not to go to Africa for the "Veterinarians Without Borders" assessment, expressing her earnest desire to attend Agriculture University with him to study veterinary medicine. In response, Zhang Wansen pulled out his application form and gave it to Lin Beixing, asking her to tear it up as a promise that she would study diligently on her own merit, not through shortcuts.
As she tore the paper into pieces and they watched them scatter, both felt a profound sense of happiness. Zhang Wansen meticulously created a study plan for Lin Beixing. She, holding a college entrance examination answer booklet, recalled Zhang Wansen's words and resolved to study hard and rely on her own abilities to get into university with him.
However, to her shock, she discovered that the third mock exam questions were identical to the college entrance examination questions she had previously memorized. As expected, Lin Beixing achieved the top score in the third mock exam. A jealous Han Tengteng accused her of cheating. Fortunately, both Zhang Wansen and Mr. Liu believed in her. Lin Beixing later confessed to Zhang Wansen that she had seen and memorized the exam paper a long time ago, admitting her score wasn't "honorable."
Instead of reprimanding her, Zhang Wansen simply encouraged her to work even harder. Meanwhile, a distraught Gao Ge received a phone call from Yang Chaoyang. He called her "sister" and asked to borrow money, explaining he "couldn't get out" and needed the money sent to the "Star Academy." Gao Ge, realizing Yang Chaoyang was likely being held captive by the unreliable institution, concluded that he was not simply "restricted from his personal freedom" but truly imprisoned.
Gao Ge, Lin Beixing, and Zhang Wansen devised a plan to rescue Yang Chaoyang. Gao Ge, dressed maturely, would pretend to be Yang Chaoyang's older sister to infiltrate the "Star Academy." For safety, Lin Beixing instructed Zhang Wansen to stay outside and act as a backup. Gao Ge and Lin Beixing entered the academy. Although Gao Ge tried to act tough, she and Yang Chaoyang eventually found themselves tied up.
Yang Chaoyang expressed gratitude for Gao Ge's rescue attempt, but it was ultimately thanks to Zhang Wansen, who had alerted Yang Chaoyang's parents and Mr. Liu, that they were all rescued. Although Yang Chaoyang was disheartened by the experience, Lin Beixing steadfastly encouraged him, asserting that he would definitely become a renowned crosstalk master in the future. That evening, the four friends gathered under a firework display to make wishes.
Zhang Wansen wished to be admitted to a university in Beijing with Lin Beixing. Yang Chaoyang wished to become a true crosstalk master, and Gao Ge wished to continue pursuing her passion for drawing. Lin Beixing, in turn, wished for all their dreams to come true, hoping they would all find their own paths in life. Lin Beixing had often envisioned her dream life, concluding that true beauty, much like fireworks, would always have its moment to shine.
With only two days left until the college entrance examination, Lin Beixing fell asleep at her desk and dreamt of running towards the lighthouse, desperately calling Zhang Wansen's name amidst a pouring rainstorm.
