> Since I Met U Recap
At Cheng Yu's home, Li Jingyang knelt in punishment, a thick dictionary balanced on his head, after a drunken outburst that disregarded Cheng Mu's condition and led to him hitting Cheng Mu. Though he complained of pain, Li Jingyang was secretly pleased, having gained official recognition in his relationship with Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu sternly reminded him of Cheng Mu's importance, warning that if anything had happened to her brother because of him, their relationship would have been over.
Li Jingyang swore it was a one-time incident and promised to take responsibility for Cheng Mu alongside her from then on. Cheng Mu unveiled his latest dessert creation, aptly named "Home." Inspired by the warmth he experienced from Jiang Sihan and her family, Cheng Mu sought to create a dessert that reflected the comfort of home.
He explained that "Home" combined diverse fruits like strawberries, blueberries, oranges, and mulberries, symbolizing how unique individuals come together to form a complete whole, striking the heart's softest spot where loved ones reside. Jiang Sihan, having helped promote the new dessert with a beautifully written online article, playfully demanded a reward. Cheng Mu joked that he would give himself to her, adding that she was already his.
He assured her that supporting her was easy, as a single dessert could bring her such joy. Jiang Sihan, focused on her burgeoning career as a blogger, aimed to achieve millions of followers, buoyed by her parents' support. The sweet shop workers observed a noticeable change in Cheng Mu. They remarked that he had started slacking off more, smiling increasingly each day, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor as a "dessert machine without feelings."
They concluded that his newfound relationship was a positive development, making light of his previous single status and joking that love transformed people. Jiang Sihan presented Cheng Mu with a fresh rose, a gift that she declared entirely belonged to them both, explaining that she owed him a rose.
Cheng Mu playfully reminded her of a previous time she had given him a rose accompanied by a love letter, quoting its memorable opening: "Mountains are mountains, and the sea is the sea." Jiang Sihan, embarrassed, tried to silence him but promised to write him a new, proper love letter, though she grumbled about the difficulty of satisfying him despite having written many already. Later, Jiang Sihan encountered Jian Yihang, who claimed to be taking time off to accompany her.
She confronted him, revealing she had seen him working as a waiter the previous night, and offered to forgive any money he owed her. Jian Yihang insisted on repaying her, and Jiang Sihan expressed her concern for his struggles. A major public opinion crisis erupted when a popular blogger, Yi Qianwan, with millions of followers, live-streamed a sensational "secret" about Cheng Mu's dessert store. He claimed the store's success and popularity were due to significant financial backing.
While some workers pointed out that Cheng Yu's backing was a symbol of strength, others found the accusations suspicious and unwarranted. Cheng Mu dismissed the rumors, stating that their popularity naturally attracted gossip. He confirmed that Sol had indeed started with Cheng Yu's money but had become profitable and repaid her within two months.
Concerned, Cheng Yu immediately tasked her team with investigating any "hidden forces" behind the attacks and instructed the PR department to swiftly delete any negative news about Cheng Mu online. The crisis escalated as Yi Qianwan revealed an even bigger "secret," claiming that Cheng Yu frequently coerced artists, including Li Jingyang, into relationships. Li Jingyang, upon hearing the news of his "exposed relationship," was surprisingly cheerful, seeing it as a positive step.
Cheng Yu, however, expressed her concern that the rumors portrayed her as exploiting him. Li Jingyang dismissed the gossip, stating that "rumors stop at the wise." Cheng Yu decided that instead of refuting the rumors, they would officially announce their relationship, much to Li Jingyang's surprise. Cheng Yu boldly declared that she didn't need to coerce him, as she had already captivated his heart.
Yi Qianwan continued his stream, further alleging that Cheng Yu had also "packaged" Cheng Mu and even arranged his girlfriend, Jiang Sihan, implying their relationship and Sol's promotions were fabricated. Despite having posts about Cheng Mu deleted, Cheng Yu remained worried and urged her team to uncover the true orchestrator behind these attacks.
The situation worsened for Cheng Mu as Yi Qianwan and other influencers began targeting him directly, spreading rumors that he was mentally ill and had caused his parents' deaths. Influencers swarmed Sol's location and even Cheng Mu's master, Mr. Xu's, shop, live-streaming and aggressively confronting them.
At Sol, despite workers' pleas and attempts to stop them, the influencers continued to film, shouting accusations that Cheng Mu was a psychopath who had killed his parents and could "have an attack at any time." Overwhelmed by the public outcry and relentless harassment, Cheng Mu dropped his phone and fled the scene. His worried workers immediately contacted Jiang Sihan. Upon learning of Cheng Mu's disappearance and broken phone, Jiang Sihan grew extremely worried, especially recalling his past suicidal thoughts.
Distressed, Cheng Yu also expressed deep concern for Cheng Mu's welfare from home. Jiang Sihan rushed to find him, eventually locating Cheng Mu at the seashore, where he had once contemplated suicide. A flashback revealed a younger Cheng Mu being comforted by Cheng Yu, who gave him a necklace as a symbol of courage and promised to always be with him. Jiang Sihan tearfully pleaded with him to understand he was no longer alone.
She confessed her initial fear upon learning of his condition but affirmed that her love had conquered all anxieties, and she was committed to learning and facing everything with him. She gently guided him back to reality, ensuring he could hear her and breathe with her. Cheng Mu, though shaken, reassured her that he was fine and just needed time to recover. They decided to return home, making sure to inform Cheng Yu first.
Back at home, Cheng Yu, distraught over Cheng Mu's disappearance, was being consoled by Li Jingyang, who urged her to stay strong for her brother. Cheng Mu soon returned, apologizing for vanishing. Cheng Yu confronted him, asking if he had indeed planned to end his life a year ago. She tearfully revealed she had known but remained silent, hoping his renewed spirit would prevail.
She passionately told him she never saw him as a burden but as her "greatest blessing," the reason she endured difficult times. She made him promise never to disappear again. Meanwhile, Li Jingyang confronted Yi Qianwan, who remained defiant despite a lawyer's letter. Li Jingyang then revealed that he was aware of Yi Qianwan's severely ill daughter, Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan herself appeared, apologizing to her father and explaining that she had contacted Li Jingyang after seeing her father's harmful live streams.
She spoke of how Cheng Mu's Sol dessert had made her bitter medicine taste better, urging her father not to betray his conscience for her sake. Li Jingyang informed Yi Qianwan that he had arranged for a team of international doctors for Yuanyuan and would cover all treatment costs. Faced with this unexpected generosity, Yi Qianwan was stunned.
Li Jingyang demanded a public apology to Cheng Mu and the permanent closure of Yi Qianwan's social media account as payment for the harm inflicted. Yi Qianwan agreed, then revealed the true mastermind behind the attacks: Shen Menglin. Cheng Yu, hearing the name, was visibly surprised.
