Since I Met U Episode 8 Recap
> Since I Met U Recap
Following the awkwardness of their previous encounter, Jingyang picks Cheng Yu up from work. He playfully declares that he is the only one allowed to take her home and reminisces about the "beautiful memories" they made, hoping for more. Cheng Yu deflects, saying she is going to her brother Cheng Mu's place to urge Jiang Sihan, whom she calls "Taro," to post a new article.
Upon arriving, Jingyang and Cheng Yu’s struggle with a stuck front door creates some suggestive noises. Once inside, they find Rui Rui, a disheveled Cheng Mu, and a flustered Jiang Sihan. Misinterpreting the situation, Cheng Yu quickly covers Rui Rui's eyes and decides to leave immediately. A bewildered Cheng Mu tries to explain, but Cheng Yu simply advises him to be more mindful of his volume next time before departing with Rui Rui.
Later, Jingyang teases Cheng Mu about his "time management," joking about having a "beauty in his arms" at night. Cheng Mu clarifies he has been staying up late developing desserts. Jingyang then brings up Cheng Yu’s upcoming birthday, stating he needs to plan it well and dismisses Cheng Mu’s opinions as unreliable, joking that he is "suited to be single forever." At Sol Dessert, Jiang Sihan arrives to try Cheng Mu’s new creation.
Cheng Mu, feeling awkward, initially suggests she focus on her work for "Sweet." However, his employee Wanjie serves her the new dessert, "Sweet and Sour." Wanjie apologizes to Jiang Sihan for previously misunderstanding and suspecting her, which she accepts gracefully. Curious, Jiang Sihan asks about the story behind the dessert. Meanwhile, she receives a notification about her article's declining data, which puts her minimum salary at risk and motivates her to write.
She presses Cheng Mu for the story, insisting his desserts always have one and that his involvement could boost her traffic. She refers to them as "a family," a statement an employee overhears and relays to Rui Rui, solidifying the staff's belief that Cheng Mu and Jiang Sihan are a couple. Reluctantly, Cheng Mu explains that the dessert represents love's complexity—a mix of sweetness and bitterness. Jiang Sihan teasingly asks if he's jealous, which he denies.
She then informs him she has a class reunion and asks him to look after Rui Rui, reminding him not to drink and muttering to herself that he is obviously jealous. After closing, Han Xianglan, who has been observing Cheng Mu for days, confesses her feelings and boldly asks him to be her boyfriend. Cheng Mu walks past her without a word. An employee, who overheard the exchange, tries to comfort the mortified Han Xianglan.
He offers her a dessert and tells her a couple of bad jokes, finally managing to make her smile. Jiang Sihan attends her class reunion, where the Class President admits he organized the event just to see her. Despite Cheng Mu's prior warning not to drink, she is persuaded by her classmates. Later, the Class President confesses his feelings, revealing he regretted not telling her before he went to study abroad a year ago.
He asks if she still likes him. In her drunken state, Jiang Sihan replies, "Yes. I like you. . . Cheng Mu." The disappointed Class President calls Cheng Mu to pick her up. Upon arriving, Cheng Mu confronts him for letting her drink so much and firmly states, "I'll definitely take care of her better than you do," before taking a drunk Jiang Sihan home.
On Cheng Yu’s birthday, Jingyang picks her up and discusses a potential acting role for Cheng Mu, emphasizing that he will only support it if Cheng Mu is genuinely interested. That evening, he takes Cheng Yu to the beach with a birthday cake. After she makes a wish, he attempts to time his proposal with a meteor shower he has planned.
The meteors fail to appear on cue, but he serenades her with "Happy Birthday" and earnestly asks her to be his girlfriend. Just as he finishes speaking, a meteor streaks across the sky. While Jingyang excitedly points it out, a touched Cheng Yu replies, "It's not important anymore," signifying his proposal means more to her than any grand gesture.
