Skate Into Love Recap
Episode 1 Recap
The Lake City Cup Short Track Speed Skating Youth Invitational is in full swing, and speed skating girl Tang Xue is also participating. Tang Xue performed consistently throughout, winning the championship. The moment she put on the champion medal, all the cheers from below the stage came into view. Tang Xue woke up from a beautiful dream and found herself on the way back to Lin University. Her friend Liao Zhenyu is a student at Liao University Medical School.
A television was playing an interview with short track speed skater Wu Dajing. Tang Xue felt a strange sense of loss; she had studied short track speed skating for eight years, and Wu Dajing, who trained with her, had become a champion, while she had been assigned to Lin University's Veterinary Medicine department. Tang Xue put on her headphones and closed her eyes, not seeing the news about the Lin University ice hockey team being broadcast again on television.
Led by the ice hockey god Li Yubing, the ice hockey team had won the championship. With both skill and good looks, Li Yubing's popularity was evident. First-year students Tang Xue and Liao Zhenyu happened to see club recruitment. It was for working at the ice hockey team. With a mindset of giving it a try, Tang Xue filled out the application form for the Snapdragon Club. Her roommate Xia Menghuan had already cleaned the dorm room in advance.
Li Yubing, who had just come off the field, happened to see his idol Xu Feng. Li Yubing shook his hand carefully. Xu Feng was the former Ice God and later entered the Continental Hockey League, which was also Li Yubing's dream. Before leaving, Xu Feng specifically cheered for Li Yubing. Tang Xue's nickname is Master Tang. Because the dorm shower was broken, she planned to go to the gymnasium to take a shower.
Li Yubing went to see his friend Jiang Shijia, who was injured and lost a tooth on the ice hockey rink. Jiang Shijia had lost two teeth trying to protect Li Yubing. Tang Xue rushed to the gymnasium with her toiletries to take a shower. The light in the bathroom was broken, so Tang Xue had to fumble around in the dark. Unfortunately, she accidentally entered the men's shower room. Li Yubing happened to also come to shower.
The man and woman started showering in the dark. Li Yubing suddenly spoke, asking the person next door to borrow shampoo. Hearing the male voice, Tang Xue was so scared she cowered in the corner. After secretly handing him the shampoo, she quickly ran away covering her face with a basin. After Li Yubing finished using the shampoo, he returned it, but the person next door was already gone.
As he was leaving after his shower, Li Yubing accidentally picked up Tang Xue's student ID, and his pupils suddenly dilated. Tang Xue ran back to the dorm in embarrassment. She didn't say anything and just burrowed under the covers. Early the next day, Tang Xue was woken up by the alarm clock. Another roommate, Ye Liuying, greeted her. Ye Liuying's eyes lit up when she heard Tang Xue was in the Veterinary Medicine department, which startled Tang Xue.
Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan went to class together. Liao Zhenyu had already bought breakfast for both of them as instructed and fell in love with Xia Menghuan at first sight. Although Tang Xue told him that Xia Menghuan was reading an encyclopedia on male sterilization yesterday, her pure and cute image was deeply ingrained in Liao Zhenyu's heart, and he reluctantly endured it. The Snapdragon Club manager called Li Yubing over to choose an assistant.
Li Yubing accidentally saw Tang Xue's name. Originally, he didn't want to have any more interactions with Tang Xue, but another part of himself deep down told him that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, Li Yubing decided to make Tang Xue his assistant. In the first class of university, Tang Xue was called upon by the Hawk-Eyed Teacher, nicknamed 'the devil', to answer why she chose the Veterinary Medicine major. Tang Xue said she was assigned to it.
Her real dream was to graduate without attending classes or taking exams. This answer made the teacher keep an eye on Tang Xue. During class, Tang Xue secretly went on Weibo and congratulated Wu Dajing. Short track speed skating was now just a hobby for her. Liao Zhenyu gossiped to Tang Xue, saying a female pervert raided the men's bathroom last night. Tang Xue felt a bit guilty.
While Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan were gossiping, Tang Xue accidentally made eye contact with her cousin Zhou Ran. Tang Xue felt incredibly uncomfortable and quickly pulled her friend away. At the same time, Tang Xue received information that she had been accepted by the Snapdragon Club. Manager Ma took Tang Xue on a tour of the Snapdragon Club.
Upon learning that her job was to take care of the Ice God whom she had accidentally peeped on last night, Tang Xue immediately felt a wave of embarrassment. Manager Ma told Tang Xue that her hourly wage was double that of other jobs, but while signing the contract, Manager Ma seemed to be hiding something and was very eager for Tang Xue to sign the labor contract quickly. Tang Xue signed carelessly.
Li Yubing immediately received a message from Manager Ma. Under Manager Ma's arrangement, Tang Xue and Li Yubing met. The moment they met, Tang Xue realized that the mighty Ice God was actually her elementary school classmate Li Yubing. The two could be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together. However, this memory was not pleasant for Li Yubing. When he was little, the carefree Tang Xue always scared him with caterpillars. The scar near Li Yubing's eye was left while he was running away.
Episode 2 Recap
After Tang Xue discovered that the Ice God was Li Yubing, she greeted him in a familiar manner. Li Yubing pretended not to remember her, but recalled after Tang Xue reminded him. Thanks to Tang Xue's care, Li Yubing didn't spend a single cent of his allowance for six years in elementary school because he spent it all buying snacks for Tang Xue.
Li Yubing skipped a grade in high school and is currently minoring in astronomy at the sports university. Tang Xue shamelessly thought Li Yubing called her over to repay a debt of gratitude. Li Yubing was speechless; he naturally wanted to retaliate twice as much, just as Tang Xue had treated him back then. Back in the dorm, Tang Xue complained to Xia Menghuan that Li Yubing seemed different from before, like a changed person.
Xia Menghuan said that girls all said Li Yubing was an ice mountain with "do not approach strangers" written on his forehead. Tang Xue fell into childhood memories. In the past, Tang Xue forced Li Yubing to play house with her. At that time, if she pointed east, Li Yubing never dared to go west. Li Yubing woke up from his childhood nightmare. From now on, it was Tang Xue's turn to have nightmares.
Tang Xue reported to the ice rink on time. Li Yubing introduced her to everyone, saying she was the ice hockey team's new assistant, and his assistant was everyone's assistant. Tang Xue was still holding her skates because Manager Ma said she could skate for free here. Li Yubing rattled off a long list of dishes for Tang Xue to remember.
Tang Xue rushed to the cafeteria to get food, but her request for dry pot pork intestine without the intestine earned her a look from the cafeteria auntie as if she were an idiot. After getting the food, Tang Xue quickly delivered it to Li Yubing. Li Yubing displayed his great skill in being picky, forcing Tang Xue to go back to the cafeteria to buy soup.
Li Yubing arranged for Tang Xue to move several boxes of miscellaneous items from the corner to the ice rink. Tang Xue, in a fit of pique, gathered the heavy boxes and went back and forth between the ice rink and the lounge. Looking at Tang Xue's discomfiture, Li Yubing felt only the satisfaction of revenge, after all, Tang Xue made him carry her backpack like this when they were kids.
Accompanying Li Yubing's training for the entire afternoon, Tang Xue unknowingly fell asleep until it was dark. After the training ended, Li Yubing woke Tang Xue up, but Tang Xue didn't notice that two huge patches of blush had been drawn on her face, with a red dot in the middle of her eyebrows. After Li Yubing threw Tang Xue off the bicycle, Tang Xue walked back to the dorm aggrieved.
With her bizarre makeup, Tang Xue almost scared the female students passing by. Back in the dorm, Xia Menghuan burst out laughing when she saw Tang Xue's face. Tang Xue picked up a mirror and let out a wail. Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying took Tang Xue to cook instant noodles on the toilet because there wouldn't be power limits there.
The next day, Tang Xue ran over furiously to ask Li Yubing to fire her, but Li Yubing told her to pay the 100,000 yuan breach of contract fee. It turned out this was the trap Li Yubing had set for Tang Xue in the contract. Tang Xue was filled with grief and indignation, venting her emotions unrestrainedly in class, which startled the teacher.
In the cafeteria, Tang Xue mistakenly identified Yu Yan as Liao Zhenyu and slapped him into the soup. Tang Xue quickly apologized and bought him a drink to make amends. Yu Yan looked very gentle and well-behaved; Tang Xue thought he was like a little lamb. Tang Xue thought about it all day and finally concluded that Li Yubing must have gotten carried away, completely lost in the aura of being the Ice God.
At the same time, Tang Xue had a strange idea: if there was no contract, would there be no compensation? Tang Xue brought Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu to the ice rink lounge. While Li Yubing was still training, the three of them secretly sneaked in, preparing to find and tear up her labor contract.
However, Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were attracted by the cheers on the ice rink and decisively abandoned their lookout duties for Tang Xue, running to the ice rink to cheer for Li Yubing. Manager Ma entered the lounge, so Tang Xue had to hide temporarily and escaped while he was on the phone with someone else. Before she could leave, the ice hockey team had finished training and returned.
In her desperation, Tang Xue hid in the locker room closet. Watching Li Yubing walk closer, Tang Xue felt a stampede of horses in her heart. However, Li Yubing was only slightly surprised when he saw Tang Xue for a moment, then quickly closed the closet door. After the team members left, Li Yubing opened the closet again. The two of them struggled for the labor contract in Tang Xue's hand.
Tang Xue's plan to tear up the contract completely failed. Ye Liuying and Xia Menghuan comforted Tang Xue together, but Tang Xue suddenly received a message from Li Yubing asking her to come to the library to study with him. Tang Xue angrily arrived at the library and formally offered her resignation to Li Yubing. According to the contract, she could only leave after one month. Li Yubing not only agreed but also kindly helped Tang Xue with her studies.
A picture of them sitting together was secretly taken. Li Yubing said he had been a bit difficult with Tang Xue during this time and admitted it was his fault. So, he prepared a gift for Tang Xue, hoping they could put the past behind them in the future. It had been six years since they separated after elementary school, about 2019 days. The gift was placed in a classroom 2019 meters away from the library.
Tang Xue suddenly felt shy. Could Li Yubing like her? Tang Xue fumbled in the dark and found the gift Li Yubing gave her. Seeing the familiar bottle of shampoo and her student ID, Tang Xue was furious once again. Tang Xue angrily rushed back to the library and warned Li Yubing that if anyone found out about the shower incident that day, she would kill him.
As a child, because Li Yubing got first place in the class, Tang Xue missed the chance to go to Disneyland. She wrote a lot of bad things about Li Yubing in her composition. The teacher called Tang Xue in and lectured her because Li Yubing had written only good things about her in his composition.
Episode 3 Recap
Tang Xue slammed Li Yubing onto the table, warning him not to talk about the shower incident that day. Li Yubing looked indifferent. Tang Xue simply started shouting in the library. Li Yubing quickly covered her mouth and left with her. Tang Xue was indeed a very feisty girl. Tang Xue glanced at Li Yubing's bicycle and kicked it over. The subsequent bicycles also fell like dominoes. Li Yubing was so angry he gritted his teeth.
Xia Menghuan discovered Li Yubing's fan group and joined it. At this time, several photos of Tang Xue and Li Yubing in the library were circulating in the fan group. Everyone said Tang Xue was not worthy of Li Yubing. Tang Xue saw them and in a fit of anger, using Xia Menghuan's identity, said that this girl was her roommate, Li Yubing's childhood friend, and that Li Yubing was desperately pursuing her.
She even auctioned off the chance to bring Li Yubing breakfast. Zhou Ran met Li Yubing at the stadium. Jiang Shijia was asking Li Yubing about his relationship with Tang Xue. Li Yubing didn't say anything, but made a call urging Tang Xue to bring him breakfast. A girl suddenly came with breakfast, saying that Tang Xue had an urgent matter and asked her to deliver it.
Li Yubing used the opportunity to watch a movie to force her to tell the truth. The girl asked if Li Yubing was really desperately pursuing and relentlessly pestering Tang Xue. Upon hearing this, Li Yubing choked on his food. Zhou Ran bought the opportunity to deliver breakfast to Li Yubing for a month in the fan group. When Tang Xue found out, she resolutely refused.
However, Zhou Ran appeared in front of her the next second, sweetly calling her "cousin." Tang Xue rolled her eyes while listening to her act spoiled. The two of them didn't get along very well. Jiang Shijia and Deng Jianguo interrogated Li Yubing about his relationship with Tang Xue. Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying were also asking Tang Xue. Both of them, while eating instant noodles, denied it simultaneously.
Zhou Ran specifically waited for Li Yubing at the entrance of the ice rink and said that she was Tang Xue's cousin, hoping that Li Yubing would be more accommodating towards her cousin. Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan went with Tang Xue to the ice rink on their way. Meanwhile, Li Yubing, eating the breakfast Zhou Ran delivered, realized she was a very calculating girl. The three of them, Tang Xue, Liao Zhenyu, and Xia Menghuan, walked towards him.
Li Yubing asked Tang Xue to help throw away the trash. Zhou Ran shamelessly put her trash into Tang Xue's hand as well. Li Yubing said Zhou Ran was smarter, prettier, and more understanding than Tang Xue. Tang Xue was instantly enraged. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu said some harsh words telling Li Yubing not to bully Tang Xue, but instead were mocked by Li Yubing for only knowing how to recruit followers.
When Tang Xue entered the ice rink, she saw Yu Yan practicing figure skating and praised the song he had just used, saying it suited him well. Yu Yan decided to use that song for the competition. Just then, the ice hockey team arrived. The captain of the figure skating team, who had always been suppressed by them, finally managed to stand tall and said they had a figure skating genius, the national champion Yu Yan.
The two sides almost started fighting. Coach Xu and Coach Jin came to take charge of the situation, and the ice hockey team reluctantly agreed to make way. Coach Jin introduced Yu Yan to everyone. Hearing about Yu Yan's numerous achievements, Tang Xue's eyes were full of little stars. The coach asked Yu Yan to give everyone a demonstration. Tang Xue, with stars in her eyes, cheered him on.
Jiang Shijia was displeased and insisted on going up to compete with Yu Yan. The result was obvious. Jiang Shijia couldn't keep up with Yu Yan's nimble movements at all and fell flat on his face. Seeing this, Li Yubing went onto the ice and indeed proved his strength. Neither Yu Yan nor Li Yubing was willing to yield to the other, competing back and forth on the ice until Yu Yan performed a difficult move.
This time, Li Yubing failed. The Ice God was no longer a god. Seeing this, Tang Xue was incredibly happy in her heart, while Li Yubing was so angry he gritted his teeth. Tang Xue gave Yu Yan a bottle of water, praising him for being good-looking and skilled. Li Yubing silently scoffed at her for being a suck-up and told Tang Xue to give him that bottle of water. Tang Xue threw a bottle of water over.
Li Yubing then asked her to unscrew the cap. Tang Xue walked up to Li Yubing with a smile and shoved the bottle into his mouth. Li Yubing was thwarted and could only watch Tang Xue and Yu Yan leave. Coach Jin and Coach Xu were resting, not forgetting to bicker and compete. It turned out they were love rivals when they were young. Xia Menghuan, Tang Xue, and Yu Yan ate together.
Yu Yan spoke very little and was very polite in front of them. Tang Xue saw that Yu Yan's plate only had some vegetables and thought he was having a hard time, so she gave him her chicken leg and drink, not knowing that Yu Yan was just trying to maintain his figure. Yu Yan repeatedly declined, and only then did Tang Xue agree to take the chicken leg back. This scene was seen by Li Yubing from a distance.
He mistakenly thought Tang Xue was bullying Yu Yan just like she used to bully him when they were kids, and immediately went forward to defend him. In a fit of anger, Tang Xue snatched Li Yubing's chicken leg and ate it. Li Yubing suggested Yu Yan stay away from Tang Xue. Yu Yan weakly said that he thought Tang Xue was a very nice person. Li Yubing, flailing his arms and legs, was carried away by Jiang Shijia.
Tang Xue angrily cursed that he was crazy. While browsing the forum, Ye Liuying met a netizen with similar interests. Meanwhile, Tang Xue and Li Yubing returned to their dorms, each feeling angry. Seeing the competition between Yu Yan and Li Yubing on the ice today, Tang Xue couldn't help but think, how great it would have been if she hadn't given up. Childhood story. Li Yubing helped Tang Xue write her composition. The teacher punished Tang Xue by making her clean up. Tang Xue accidentally saw Li Yubing playing the piano after school.
Episode 4 Recap
Tang Xue got up from her bed in the middle of the night and went to the ice rink. She put on her skates and stood on the ice again. This place held her dreams and honors, and she didn't want to give up on her dreams. Li Yubing came to retrieve the bag he had left there and coincidentally saw Tang Xue lying on the ice.
The next day, Zhou Ran was still delivering breakfast to Li Yubing at the entrance of the ice rink. Li Yubing asked Zhou Ran why Tang Xue, who used to skate very well, suddenly went to study veterinary medicine. Zhou Ran said that Tang Xue was always a person lost interest quickly and also wanted Li Yubing to teach her how to skate. Li Yubing scared Zhou Ran with a few words, making her give up the idea.
Li Yubing took the breakfast back to the lounge. He didn't believe what Zhou Ran had just said; Tang Xue wasn't the kind of person who had short-lived passions. Li Yubing asked Jiang Shijia to get breakfast for him from now on, as he didn't want to see people he didn't want to see anyway. To get into the same club as Tang Xue, Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu had to practice roller skating first.
Liao Zhenyu couldn't even stand up, and Xia Menghuan looked disgusted when she saw this. During a break, Liao Zhenyu told Xia Menghuan the story about him and Tang Xue. They were high school classmates. Back then, Liao Zhenyu was a stuttering math class representative. When he was bullied, Tang Xue stood up for him, and Liao Zhenyu was completely conquered by the cool Tang Xue.
Tang Xue's mother was a doctor, and with her help, Liao Zhenyu gradually overcame his stuttering. The story of Xia Menghuan and Tang Xue happened during military training. Xia Menghuan forgot to tie her belt during an emergency assembly, so Tang Xue gave her belt to her and was punished by the instructor herself. Xia Menghuan was extremely grateful to Tang Xue, and they became good friends from then on.
Speaking of which, Tang Xue is such a nice person, so why does Li Yubing insist on bullying her so much? When Yu Yan was buying a drink, the cash register was broken, and he couldn't pay with his phone. Seeing this, Tang Xue paid for him. Tang Xue still thought Yu Yan didn't have money. Yu Yan explained that he was losing weight, but Tang Xue didn't believe him.
Yu Yan was using an old Nokia phone, and Tang Xue teased him, calling him a caveman. As the two walked side by side on the sports field, Yu Yan blocked a flying ball for Tang Xue, but his own phone was smashed. Seeing this, Tang Xue felt very guilty, so she pulled his hand and went to the girls' dormitory building.
In the sunlight, the sight of Tang Xue holding an ice cream stick in her mouth was deeply etched into Yu Yan's mind. Tang Xue gave her spare phone to Yu Yan, and Yu Yan awkwardly accepted it. While practicing roller skating, Xia Menghuan was hit on by two thugs and quickly called out to Liao Zhenyu for help. Liao Zhenyu rushed over desperately, but ended up falling face first again.
When the other party saw that Liao Zhenyu was from the Lin University Roller Skating Club, they challenged him to a roller skating competition. If Liao Zhenyu lost, he would have to leave Xia Menghuan behind. Before Liao Zhenyu could say anything, Xia Menghuan agreed with a fierce temper. Yu Yan registered for WeChat and liked Tang Xue's Moments post. Liao Zhenyu called Tang Xue for help.
It turned out that the two young thugs had challenged the Lin University Roller Skating Club to a roller skating competition the day after tomorrow. Moreover, the other party was posting about this everywhere online, and Xia Menghuan also found out that they were a newly established roller skating club in Lincheng. After analyzing the situation, Ye Liuying thought that the other party wanted to use the Lin University Club to promote their own club.
She suggested that Tang Xue ask Li Yubing and Yu Yan for help. However, specialized fields require specialized skills. In terms of roller skating, they might not be able to win. The Lin University Roller Skating Club asked Yu Yan to help, but Tang Xue said he might not be able to win. The thugs from the roller skating club arrived. They refused to compete against Lin University in freestyle, after all, Yu Yan was a freestyle champion.
Tang Xue stepped forward and challenged them to a speed competition. When the other party saw she was a girl, they still refused to compete. Tang Xue deliberately said some tough words, and the other party made a bet, saying the loser had to streaking. Tang Xue agreed domineeringly. Just then, Li Yubing's voice came from the crowd. He said he would compete for Tang Xue.
Tang Xue refused and confidently told the worried Yu Yan that she would not lose. Coach Chu from the short track speed skating team happened to pass by and watched Tang Xue's competition. Tang Xue's performance surprised everyone. She actually won the competition and crossed the finish line. The feeling of winning was like the feeling she had when she was praised for training on the ice rink back then.
At that time, her coach said she would definitely make it to the national team. On the surface, Li Yubing said it was a case of "novices pecking at each other," but in reality, he was also surprised by Tang Xue's speed. The two thugs tried to escape but were caught by the Lin University people. Tang Xue magnanimously let them go. The Lin University Roller Skating Club invited them to dinner together tomorrow, considering it a celebration banquet.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Li Yubing and Tang Xue. He asked Tang Xue why she stopped skating. Tang Xue replied, "What does it have to do with you?" Xia Menghuan excitedly told Ye Liuying about the situation of today's competition, remarking that Tang Xue usually looked like a broken bicycle but was like a Ferrari on the track. When they were children, Li Yubing always complained to his mother that Tang Xue was stupid. His mother educated him to be kind and said that Tang Xue was his childhood friend and he would understand later.
Episode 5 Recap
Tang Xue and Liao Zhenyu came together to attend the roller skating club's celebration banquet. The roller skating club president specially thanked Tang Xue. Tang Xue sat next to Yu Yan. When ordering, she thought that if Li Yubing were there, she would definitely order dishes he disliked to sicken him. The next second, Li Yubing appeared, even snatching the menu from Tang Xue's hand. He told Tang Xue to move, but Tang Xue ignored him.
Li Yubing actually moved her directly to the side, grabbed a chair, and sat between Yu Yan and Tang Xue. Li Yubing asked Tang Xue to peel shrimp for him. The price increased from five yuan to twenty-five. Tang Xue couldn't help but pull Li Yubing out to warn him not to challenge her patience. Li Yubing, however, advised her not to target Yu Yan; everything she wanted was what he would oppose.
Li Yubing offered a price of one hundred yuan to peel one shrimp. Tang Xue immediately went back, got a plate of shrimp, and peeled them while stuffing them into Li Yubing's mouth. After Li Yubing was full, she would have to pay seven thousand yuan. Liao Zhenyu quickly stood up to mediate, suggesting everyone play a game. Yu Yan lost. He said his wish that he had never told anyone was to go to an aquarium. Tang Xue lost.
Li Yubing asked her why she stopped skating. Tang Xue didn't answer. After several rounds of drinks, Tang Xue and Yu Yan were both red-faced from drinking, but they were still shouting about sending Yu Yan home, and even chased the sober Liao Zhenyu back. Li Yubing saw this and was a little worried. He took Jiang Shijia with him and followed them. Yu Yan in the back seat was thrown onto the lawn.
Tang Xue also fell onto the road with the bicycle. Li Yubing told Jiang Shijia to take Yu Yan home, while he went up to call Tang Xue. Tang Xue lay on the road refusing to move, acting drunk. Li Yubing had no choice but to carry her on his back. Yu Yan's dormitory was in the foreign expert building. Before they even went upstairs, Jiang Shijia was vomited on by Yu Yan.
Li Yubing carried Tang Xue on his back to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory building. However, he couldn't open Tang Xue's phone, so there was no way to call someone down to pick her up. Jiang Shijia took off his clothes and took a shower. Half-asleep, half-awake Yu Yan thought a pervert had entered the room, picked up a self-defense stun stick, and stunned him onto the floor.
Li Yubing had no choice but to carry Tang Xue on his back to a hotel near the school. Tang Xue hugged Li Yubing's leg, shouting she wanted water, and then pulled his ear, asking him why he treated her like this. Li Yubing is now the Ice God, but it was Tang Xue who introduced him to ice hockey back then. Li Yubing is the Ice God, but Tang Xue is nothing.
She also trained on ice for eight years, so why did she give up? Li Yubing went along with her words and asked Tang Xue why she gave up. Tang Xue looked at him for a long time and then let out a drunken burp, which made Li Yubing want to punch the wall. The awakened Jiang Shijia complained tearfully that Yu Yan shouldn't have treated him like that.
Yu Yan quickly offered to pay for the dry cleaning fee of his clothes, but unexpectedly, Yu Yan didn't have cash and hadn't linked his bank card. Yu Yan had no choice but to find one of his own clothes for Jiang Shijia. Jiang Shijia then returned to the dormitory wearing clothes several sizes too small for him. Li Yubing washed Tang Xue's jacket clean, placed a glass of water by her bed, and then left.
The next day, Tang Xue woke up and called Yu Yan to thank him for taking her to the hotel. Yu Yan was confused, as he was also brought back by someone last night. Tang Xue thought it definitely wasn't Li Yubing who brought her, otherwise he wouldn't have washed her clothes. Jiang Shijia and Li Yubing came together to the airport to pick up the triumphant returning Zhang Yuewei. They were a close-knit trio.
While eating, Jiang Shijia complained that Li Yubing stuck with Tang Xue all day. Zhang Yuewei felt a little uncomfortable, thinking Li Yubing was in a relationship. Tang Xue became a celebrity overnight. Xia Menghuan received calls every day from people who wanted to be friends with Tang Xue, so much so that she felt utterly weary of life. Tang Xue took Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan to the ice rink to play.
The speed skating team was training, but they could play in the inner circle. Tang Xue was demonstrating for the two of them. Suddenly, a shadow surpassed her. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were dumbfounded. She was not just a little bit faster than Tang Xue. Coach Chu came to inspect and saw this scene again. The one who surpassed Tang Xue was none other than the captain of the short track speed skating team, Zhang Yuewei.
The speed skating team members even comforted her, telling her not to take it to heart, as amateurs like them should be content just comparing themselves to Zhang Yuewei. These words stung Tang Xue. She was no longer an athlete. What right did she have to be arrogant here? Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were both comforting Tang Xue, but Tang Xue felt she was a lap behind Zhang Yuewei, and this was definitely not her true level.
Tang Xue didn't bother with eating and ran back to the ice rink again, but no matter how she practiced, she couldn't reach the speed she wanted. Tang Xue happened to meet Yu Yan. The two of them left the ice rink together. Yu Yan's childhood was spent at the ice rink. He asked Tang Xue why she gave up skating.
Tang Xue sighed, saying she just gave up on a whim, and once she sobered up, there was no turning back. Yu Yan encouraged Tang Xue to pick up her dream again. When you persist in something, everyone will make way for you. Tang Xue was woken up early in the morning by Li Yubing's phone call.
Li Yubing heard that she lost badly in the competition against Zhang Yuewei yesterday, and even decided to make Tang Xue his sparring partner from now on. Tang Xue was angry, but had no choice but to agree. When he was a child, Li Yubing didn't like sports. His mother tried every means to coax him into the ice rink. At that time, Tang Xue was also training inside. Li Yubing saw Tang Xue fall and laughed happily, and he also fell in love with skating from then on.
Episode 6 Recap
Tang Xue started her sparring partner career. Whatever Li Yubing did, she had to follow suit. Tang Xue endured and endured, and finally, almost a month had passed. Li Yubing didn't expect Tang Xue to be able to keep up with his physical training. It seemed she was indeed very promising. The one-month period was up. Tang Xue happily ran to the ice rink. She also prepared a gift for Li Yubing. Li Yubing opened the box.
When he saw a few wiggling worms, his eyes widened instantly. Yet he still endured the nausea and took out a worm. After Tang Xue left, he wished he could throw the box away. Today was the day the contract expired. Tang Xue came to Manager Ma's office to get paid. After reviewing the payroll, Manager Ma gave her over two thousand yuan in salary, plus the money for peeling shrimp for Li Yubing. The total was over nine thousand.
Tang Xue was overjoyed and ready to take the money. Manager Ma then told her she needed to pay a fine of fifty thousand yuan, because she illegally sold Li Yubing's personal information, which resulted in Li Yubing being harassed by people every morning. Tang Xue was furious. But Manager Ma threatened her to pay the fine within a week, otherwise, he would sue her. Tang Xue stared at Manager Ma.
She always felt this was a trap set by Li Yubing. No wonder he hadn't mentioned the breakfast delivery issue for a month. It turned out he was waiting for today. Seeing that he hadn't successfully deceived her, Manager Ma quickly sent a message to Li Yubing. Tang Xue angrily smashed things in the office. Then she ran to the locker room, grabbed Li Yubing by the collar, and cursed him for being irresponsible.
Seeing this, Jiang Shijia quickly asked Li Yubing if he had messed with the young girl's feelings. Tang Xue actually admitted it directly. Everyone had gossipy looks on their faces, and were chased away by Li Yubing. Li Yubing gave Tang Xue two options: either pay the money back or work off the debt, otherwise, he would use the weapon of law to protect himself. Tang Xue called her father.
Her father answered the phone and knew she must be short on money again. Tang Xue made all sorts of excuses and asked for forty thousand. Her father thought something had happened to Tang Xue and wanted to rush over to see her immediately. Tang Xue was utterly speechless and could only hang up the phone first. Tang Xue was sadly wiping the equipment on the ice rink. Yu Yan came running to find her.
Tang Xue then realized she was almost late for class. Yu Yan said tomorrow was his birthday. He hoped Tang Xue would spend his birthday with him. Tang Xue agreed. Tang Xue was about to go to class but was grabbed by Li Yubing. Tang Xue wanted to use her tricks from when they were kids. Unexpectedly, Li Yubing was completely different now. Li Yubing tightly held Tang Xue in his arms.
From Manager Ma's perspective, the two of them seemed to be passionately kissing. The next day, after class, Tang Xue immediately rushed to find Yu Yan. Liao Zhenyu was boasting to his roommates that he could win over Xia Menghuan within two weeks. As a result, he turned around and ran into Xia Menghuan. He was so scared he couldn't speak properly. Since Tang Xue wasn't there, Liao Zhenyu quickly invited Xia Menghuan to eat together. Xia Menghuan reluctantly agreed.
Tang Xue prepared a flag for a "Childhood Day Trip". She took Yu Yan to the aquarium. Xia Menghuan suddenly covered Liao Zhenyu's eyes. Then hailed a taxi. She gestured to the driver to take a detour and then return to Lin University. Tang Xue had done research all night. While Yu Yan watched the children playing there, he thought about his childhood which only consisted of training. Tang Xue bought Yu Yan ice cream.
It was Yu Yan's first time eating it because it was high in calories. Tang Xue mistakenly thought Yu Yan couldn't even afford ice cream. She felt even sadder. Tang Xue took Yu Yan to play all day. She also comforted Yu Yan, saying it was okay to be a student from a poor family. Yu Yan wanted to explain but was interrupted by Tang Xue. The phone Tang Xue gave Yu Yan had been refurbished by him.
But he wasn't very good at using it, so Tang Xue taught him how to download apps. Accidentally, she saw gossip on campus about Tang Xue and Li Yubing. Yu Yan asked about Tang Xue's relationship with Li Yubing. Tang Xue had a look that said she couldn't explain it easily. Li Yubing, Jiang Shijia, and Zhang Yuewei finished playing ball. They were about to call Tang Xue to have her bring food over.
But Tang Xue was out of service area. Seeing this, Zhang Yuewei felt even more uncomfortable. Li Yubing decided not to eat with Jiang Shijia and Zhang Yuewei. He said he had a package to pick up later. Tang Xue told Yu Yan her story. Hearing that Tang Xue owed Li Yubing forty thousand yuan, he wanted to help her raise money. Tang Xue naturally couldn't bear to let Yu Yan, a student from a poor family, help her.
Xia Menghuan took Liao Zhenyu on a detour and returned to the school's veterinary classroom. After lighting candles, she brought over a bullfrog and told Liao Zhenyu to touch it. Liao Zhenyu screamed in fright. Xia Menghuan then brought out a duck and a wild boar model. And then she ran off. Liao Zhenyu took off the blindfold. He was scared half to death by the scene in front of him.
Episode 7 Recap
Xia Menghuan laughed so hard she couldn't breathe when she saw Liao Zhenyu wet himself from fear, and Liao Zhenyu's face completely crumpled. Tang Xue and Yu Yan prepared to sleep in the overnight area. She specially prepared a birthday cake for Yu Yan and appeared in front of him singing the birthday song. She also gave him a stuffed sheep toy, saying it looked very much like Yu Yan.
Yu Yan was very grateful to Tang Xue; this was the happiest birthday he had celebrated in his life. Just then, Tang Xue received a call from Li Yubing. Li Yubing, who had finally gotten through, spoke with a very harsh tone, demanding that Tang Xue immediately pick up a package for him and appear in front of him within fifteen minutes.
Tang Xue had no choice but to tell Yu Yan that she had an urgent matter, grab her bag, and run back to school. Liao Zhenyu's pants were drying on the radiator, and Xia Menghuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Tang Xue ran back to school in the rain to pick up the package for Li Yubing, and then hurried to the ice rink.
Li Yubing stood by the window and saw Tang Xue running in the rain and falling, feeling a bit anxious. Had he gone a bit too far? Tang Xue struggled in the rain, and Li Yubing was having an internal struggle. Even though Tang Xue had bullied him as a child and left him with psychological trauma, Tang Xue might have changed.
Perhaps he had always misunderstood Tang Xue, not to mention that it was she who took him ice skating when they were kids. If it weren't for her, Li Yubing wouldn't have been able to take the first step. Li Yubing picked up an umbrella, ready to go get Tang Xue, but he saw Yu Yan holding an umbrella and helping Tang Xue up. Li Yubing was stunned as he watched the two of them walk away hand in hand.
Tang Xue stormed into the locker room, angrily kicked the package to Li Yubing, and declared that from now on, she would pay back the money even if she had to sell her blood, and that the two of them would have no relationship from now on. Li Yubing felt very guilty. Back in the dorm, Yu Yan looked at his rows of trophies and carefully placed the stuffed toy Tang Xue gave him next to them.
The next day, Li Yubing called Tang Xue, but Xia Menghuan answered the phone. It turned out that Tang Xue had a high fever since last night. Xia Menghuan scolded Li Yubing fiercely and told him that because she was his sparring partner, Tang Xue was almost given a demerit by her teacher. During class, Tang Xue was unfortunately called upon.
Xia Menghuan was about to answer for her, but unexpectedly, Li Yubing, hidden at the back of the classroom, answered for her. Li Yubing had been helping Tang Xue with her class attendance these past few days. Tang Xue wished she could sell her blood immediately to pay him back. Yu Yan gave Tang Xue a lot of cash and urged her to pay back the money quickly.
Tang Xue refused to accept it, even thinking he had done something illegal. Yu Yan quickly explained that he wasn't from a poor family, that he didn't use a smartphone because he was afraid of getting distracted, and that he ate little to stay in shape. After all, he was a figure skating champion and wasn't short of money.
Tang Xue thought for a moment and accepted the money, saying she would return it to Yu Yan as soon as possible. Yu Yan wasn't short of money, he just didn't want Tang Xue to continue being Li Yubing's assistant. Tang Xue ran to the locker room with the cash and returned the money to Li Yubing. Li Yubing refused to accept it, and Tang Xue refused to give him the chance to abuse her anymore.
After paying back the money, Tang Xue felt that her whole world had brightened up. Xia Menghuan persuaded her and Ye Liuying to go to the freshman mixer together. Deng Jianguo was also pestering Li Yubing in the dorm, wanting him to go to the freshman mixer with him, but Li Yubing was extremely unwilling. Xia Menghuan and Tang Xue scanned the room and didn't find any high-quality guys at the mixer.
At the same time, Li Yubing was also pestered by Deng Jianguo into coming to the mixer. The campus belle, Zhou Ran, dressed herself up sparklingly and was the first to go up and strike up a conversation with Li Yubing. Li Yubing quickly found an excuse and left. Deng Jianguo quickly seized the opportunity to go up and chat with her. Ye Liuying, who was reading in the corner, silently complained when she saw this.
Tang Xue was busy eating and drinking heartily, while Xia Menghuan was being chatted up. Liao Zhenyu saw this and quickly stepped forward to drive the person away. Zhou Ran avoided Deng Jianguo to find trouble with Tang Xue. After accidentally tearing Tang Xue's skirt, she still yelled loudly that she didn't do it on purpose. As Tang Xue was feeling embarrassed, Li Yubing suddenly came over with a jacket and put it on her.
After Li Yubing left, Zhou Ran told Tang Xue that Bian Cheng would be coming to Lin University soon. Hearing this name, Tang Xue was startled. Deng Jianguo accidentally bumped into Ye Liuying and even stepped on her book. Ye Liuying was very angry, but Deng Jianguo left her to go add Zhou Ran on WeChat. Li Yubing began to doubt himself. Why did he protect Tang Xue in front of so many people? Could it be that he had fallen for Tang Xue?
Episode 8 Recap
At Mingcheng University, Bian Cheng, as a key student of the Journalism Department, the Dean decided to send him to Lin University for a collaborative investigation and to watch tomorrow's ice hockey game together. Coach Xu told the ice hockey team to go back and rest; tomorrow's game against the Lightning team is very important.
Coach Xu made soup for Coach Chu, imagining her happy expression upon receiving the soup as he entered the office, only to see Coach Jin also made soup and came to find Coach Chu, even making an excuse that he made it for Yu Yan. The two started arguing because of Coach Chu, and seeing this, she took their soup to give to a player with low blood sugar.
Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan discussed the scene where Li Yubing put his jacket on her as they walked towards the dorm, but saw Li Yubing waiting downstairs from the dorm, saying he wanted to talk to Tang Xue alone. Xia Menghuan tactfully left. Li Yubing gave Tang Xue a termination agreement and fifty thousand yuan, saying she would be free once she signed it.
Tang Xue cautiously took the contract, looking it over from left to right, always thinking there was some trap. Tang Xue signed it. Li Yubing put the card in her pocket, saying from now on they would no longer be in a player and assistant relationship. Li Yubing then gave Tang Xue a ticket, which was for tomorrow's ice hockey game, hoping Tang Xue would come.
Tang Xue took it with a complicated expression, and upon returning to the dorm, she complained to Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying. Ye Liuying recited a long passage of philosophical words, suggesting that Li Yubing might have fallen for Tang Xue. This possibility was strongly denied by Tang Xue. The next day, the ice rink. Manager Ma brought Bian Cheng and the Ming University principal to watch the game.
Li Yubing's popularity was as high as ever, and his performance on the ice was very stable. Manager Ma specifically introduced Li Yubing to them. When the puck dropped again, Li Yubing was a little disappointed not to see a trace of Tang Xue in the stands. During the halftime break, Coach Xu again laid out the plan for them. At this moment, Tang Xue secretly entered the venue.
Li Yubing, returning to the ice rink, thought of the coach's words to him, "Be imposing, think of the bravest person." Li Yubing thought of Tang Xue. Turning his head, he saw Tang Xue in the stands. The atmosphere on the field was tense. Lin University ultimately won the game. Li Yubing silently gave Tang Xue an OK gesture. As Tang Xue cheered, she accidentally saw Bian Cheng on one side of the stands and quickly fled.
Bian Cheng also saw her and wanted to step forward to pick up the hat Tang Xue had accidentally dropped, but Li Yubing got there first. Manager Ma brought Li Yubing and Bian Cheng to meet. Both of them had their own thoughts, unsure of the other's relationship with Tang Xue. Li Yubing was often distracted during the conversation and didn't hear what Bian Cheng was saying at all. Tang Xue sat by the sports field, lost in thought.
Thinking of Bian Cheng, the scenes of secretly watching him over the years quietly emerged. Li Yubing heard Liao Zhenyu say Tang Xue met her first love and came to find her. So, her first love is Bian Cheng? Tang Xue retorted, "That's not called first love, at most it's a crush. Everyone probably has someone like that during that time." Tang Xue looked at Li Yubing, "Didn't you?" Li Yubing decisively denied it, saying he was very busy.
Tang Xue had secretly gone to see Bian Cheng countless times and practiced the scenes of accidentally meeting him countless times. If Bian Cheng took the initiative to greet her, she would be very happy. Tang Xue said, "That youth had Bian Cheng, Liao Zhenyu, and Zhou Ran." Li Yubing silently said in his heart, "But it didn't have me."
Tang Xue really liked Bian Cheng, so much so that she dreamed every day of going to the same university as him. Li Yubing silently thought again, "Was it the same idea when Tang Xue wanted to attend the same junior high school as him every day back then?" So, did Tang Xue give up skating because of Bian Cheng? Tang Xue fell into reminiscing. Before a competition, Tang Xue went to find Bian Cheng and gave him a gift.
However, before the competition, Tang Xue received a message from Bian Cheng saying his current goal was to get into university and he didn't have time for dating. Tang Xue was rejected, which led to her unstable performance during the competition and injured her leg. Tang Xue's mother told Tang Xue that even after she recovered, she wouldn't be able to reach her previous training level and would never be able to skate again.
Tang Xue's father and mother only hoped for Tang Xue to live a safe and peaceful life, and Tang Xue also gave up skating because of this. Li Yubing sat beside Tang Xue and listened to everything. Tang Xue was very frustrated, hating herself for her poor psychological state and hating herself for not returning to the ice rink. Li Yubing returned the hat to her. Tang Xue said he had changed; the Li Yubing who was afraid of insects as a child had completely changed his aura.
Episode 9 Recap
Tang Xue told Li Yubing that the Eagles won because he was brave enough and became a better version of himself. Li Yubing said she deserved credit for it, because of Tang Xue, he became more courageous. Tang Xue was unwilling to give up speed skating. Li Yubing started to wonder what it would be like if they had attended the same junior high school back then.
Li Yubing quietly moved closer to Tang Xue, wanting to comfort her, but the hand he placed behind her was startled by Tang Xue's words. The lights on the sports field went out, so the two of them got up and went back. Back in the dorm, Li Yubing tossed and turned thinking about what Tang Xue had said, especially when Tang Xue said that Bian Cheng was her whole youth, which made Li Yubing even more uncomfortable.
Liao Zhenyu came to see Xia Menghuan with a bucket of fried chicken. Xia Menghuan was dreaming of going to the Antarctic to protect small animals. Li Yubing thought a lot at the ice rink. Tang Xue suddenly received a call from Manager Ma asking her to come to the ice rink, saying that Coach Chu of the short track speed skating team wanted to see her.
As soon as Tang Xue heard about short track speed skating, she immediately rushed over. Coach Chu knew Tang Xue's information like the back of her hand; she had broken a record at thirteen. Coach Chu wanted to see Tang Xue's current level. If her level met the standard, she could join the short track speed skating team.
Tang Xue was stunned by this sudden surprise, but without time to think too much, she changed her shoes and got on the ice. Zhang Yuewei and others were puzzled when they saw Tang Xue. Coach Chu gave Tang Xue a chance, but Tang Xue fell during the process. Coach Chu felt it was difficult for Tang Xue to reach a professional level in her current state, as she hadn't practiced for a long time.
Li Yubing waited at the entrance of the ice rink. Seeing Tang Xue walk out with a disappointed look, he quickly stepped forward, and upon learning of Tang Xue's failure, he quickly comforted her and took her singing to relieve her stress. Li Yubing quickly regretted it. Tang Xue's wailing made him forget the original singer. To comfort Tang Xue, Li Yubing racked his brains listing all her strengths.
Tang Xue seemed inspired and started singing into Li Yubing's ear again. Zhou Ran saw the two walking back to school side by side and felt very uncomfortable. Liao Zhenyu ran to find Xia Menghuan, wanting to ask her out shopping tomorrow. However, Xia Menghuan was only interested in small animals in books and finally agreed to Liao Zhenyu with great difficulty. Li Yubing walked Tang Xue downstairs to the dorm. Today's Li Yubing reminded Tang Xue of their childhood.
If they had gotten into the same junior high school back then, they should be the closest buddies now. Tang Xue apologized, saying she hit a sore spot for Li Yubing, because if it weren't for Li Yubing's parents' divorce back then, he wouldn't have broken his promise. Li Yubing was stunned, where did this divorce come from? After Tang Xue left, Li Yubing called Coach Chu.
The next day, Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu accidentally saw Li Yubing while shopping. Liao Zhenyu wanted to ask Xia Menghuan out on a date again. Xia Menghuan picked up a earthworm by the roadside, startling Liao Zhenyu. Seeing that Xia Menghuan liked small animals, Liao Zhenyu took her to a place. Xia Menghuan hugged a snake and called it 'baby', showing a very unique taste.
Xia Menghuan also told Liao Zhenyu that only people with similar interests could be together, and people like them who didn't get along well should minimize contact. Liao Zhenyu was deeply provoked. He suddenly picked up the snake and said he wanted to become Xia Menghuan's kind. Zhou Ran and Bian Cheng also knew each other. This time, Zhou Ran helped him a lot with his interview, and Bian Cheng also gave her some small gifts.
Both had their own thoughts. Bian Cheng asked about Tang Xue, asking if she had a boyfriend now. Zhou Ran found it strange, Bian Cheng had clearly rejected her in high school. Actually, Bian Cheng liked her when he received Tang Xue's love letter, but back then, to get into a good university, he decided to focus on studying. For him, Tang Xue was also the kind of person who shone brightly.
Zhou Ran said that Tang Xue and Li Yubing were very close, and Bian Cheng should act quickly. But Bian Cheng wasn't qualified to appear before Tang Xue. Only after sending the text message did he realize that the competition that day was very important to Tang Xue. After a restless afternoon, Liao Zhenyu weakly told Bian Cheng that Tang Xue was seriously injured in the competition and her short track speed skating career might end here.
If it hadn't been for Bian Cheng back then, Tang Xue might have already made it into the national team, but he didn't even have the courage to apologize. Zhou Ran encouraged Bian Cheng to win Tang Xue back and said she would help him. Li Yubing was spaced out in the dorm. Tang Xue was eating and drinking heavily in the dorm. Xia Menghuan complained that she was feeding herself like a pig.
Tang Xue suddenly received a call from Manager Ma asking her to report to the short track speed skating team tomorrow. Ye Liuying and Xia Menghuan quickly congratulated Tang Xue, but Tang Xue wasn't that happy. Can she really do it? Xia Menghuan had already bought a gift for Tang Xue, and Ye Liuying also gave her her spiritual sustenance, encouraging her that she could definitely do it.
The next day, Coach Chu told Tang Xue that although her current level did not meet the selection standard, she still planned to keep her for a trial period. If Tang Xue could catch up with the slowest person in the team, Li Hongshuang, after a month, she would be able to stay. Coach Chu also took out some items. Tang Xue saw a pair of ice skates that were very difficult to buy and was utterly surprised.
Coach Chu thought for a long time without speaking. Zhang Yuewei and others were playing Tarot cards in the lounge. Coach Chu arrived with Tang Xue, and everyone was clearly surprised that Tang Xue could join the team. Coach Chu specifically asked Zhang Yuewei to take Tang Xue to training tomorrow. Zhang Yuewei reluctantly agreed.
Episode 10 Recap
Tomorrow, Tang Xue's trial training officially began. Coach Jin came to find Coach Chu with a pot of soup she had prepared. Coach Chu politely accepted it. Tang Xue just came out and ran into Manager Ma. She immediately went up and gave him a hug, announcing the news that she had joined the speed skating team. Li Yubing opened his arms, waiting for a hug, but Tang Xue just patted his hand and told him the good news.
Coach Chu felt that Li Yubing cared a lot about Tang Xue. Coach Xu said that he had coached Li Yubing for so many years and never saw him care so much about anyone else, telling Coach Chu not to worry too much. Coach Chu laid down a harsh statement, saying she kept Tang Xue because Li Yubing pleaded for her, but if she didn't meet the standard, she wouldn't give anyone face.
Coach Chu and Coach Xu were once husband and wife, and the two of them started arguing about the days before their divorce. Coach Chu left for training with a sour face. Coach Xu picked up the soup that Coach Jin had given her on the table and drank it all. Zhang Yuewei had a lot of opinions about Tang Xue joining the team, saying her joining was clearly dragging them down.
However, Coach Chu told her that what she should be doing is helping her teammates, not questioning them. Zhang Yuewei was very depressed about this matter. Jiang Shijia specially made coffee to comfort her. Coach Jin saw that the soup she gave Coach Chu was empty and felt relieved. Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan excitedly ran to class, only to see Bian Cheng waiting for her. Xia Menghuan smartly left. Tang Xue awkwardly stepped forward.
Bian Cheng said he had something he wanted to tell her. He said he had affected Tang Xue's selection trials back then. If he replied to that letter now, would it still be in time? Tang Xue pretended not to remember what was written in the letter and brushed it off. Bian Cheng didn't say anything, saying goals are not easily achieved. Back in the classroom, Xia Menghuan gossiped, asking Tang Xue who that was just now.
Tang Xue vaguely replied that he was a high school classmate. Liao Zhenyu accidentally saw an opportunity to get close to a sloth, which Xia Menghuan liked, so he quietly tore down the poster. Late at night, Tang Xue was overthinking about what Bian Cheng had said, but she decided to put all her energy into short track speed skating. The next day, during the trial training, Zhang Yuewei helped Tang Xue stretch her legs.
Tang Xue's scream echoed throughout the stadium. Gritting her teeth, she declared fiercely that she would surpass Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei scoffed, saying that if Tang Xue could stay, she would sharpen her skates for her. After changing positions, Tang Xue didn't hold back against Zhang Yuewei either. Everyone saw that Tang Xue was indeed fierce. After the training ended, Tang Xue, as the newcomer, was left to organize miscellaneous items. Li Yubing specifically came to find her.
Tang Xue asked him if he had tickets for Wu Dajing's school lecture. She used to train in the same team as Wu Dajing, so she wanted to go see him. Li Yubing told her to wait, then went to find Manager Ma. Zhang Yuewei saw the cup she had given to Li Yubing in the lounge and felt very unhappy. She had specially chosen it for Li Yubing, but he just carelessly left it there.
Li Yubing held the cup and said he had something to tell Zhang Yuewei, but he was afraid she would refuse after he finished speaking. Zhang Yuewei's heart pounded. Thinking of Li Hongshuang saying someone she had a crush on had confessed recently, her heart fluttered like a little rabbit. However, she didn't expect that Li Yubing just wanted Zhang Yuewei to help take care of Tang Xue and spare some time to guide Tang Xue privately.
Zhang Yuewei was stunned and refused unhappily. Jiang Shijia tactlessly chimed in. Li Yubing awkwardly took a sip of water. Jiang Shijia was very surprised, asking if Li Yubing's cup was a thermos. Zhang Yuewei quickly explained. The atmosphere between Li Yubing and Zhang Yuewei was not right, so he quickly found an excuse and left. Jiang Shijia asked Zhang Yuewei why she was angry with him. Zhang Yuewei became very unhappy when talking about this matter.
Li Yubing left with the thermos cup, not only wondering, but also suspecting, could Zhang Yuewei like him? Li Yubing quickly dismissed the idea again. Li Yubing went to find Manager Ma. Manager Ma excitedly told him that he had been selected for the national youth team and would be leaving for a competition this weekend. Li Yubing asked Manager Ma about the tickets for Wu Dajing's lecture. Manager Ma said the last two tickets were taken by Yu Yan.
Jiang Shijia saw Zhang Yuewei's feelings for Li Yubing and felt very unhappy. He couldn't eat the bowl of noodles in front of him no matter what. Yu Yan returned to the dorm with the lecture tickets and told Tang Xue to come find him. Tang Xue came over but didn't see Yu Yan. She saw the fallen bookshelf on the ground and helped Yu Yan assemble it.
Yu Yan brought the assembly craftsman over and saw that Tang Xue had already fixed the bookshelf, which surprised him greatly. Jiang Shijia began to figure out how to win over Zhang Yuewei. Li Yubing posted a message on the school forum, asking for two tickets for Wu Dajing's lecture. Someone quickly replied, three hundred for two tickets. However, Li Yubing only had two hundred. Tang Xue helped Yu Yan tidy up things and found a pawn ticket.
It turned out that the forty thousand yuan Yu Yan had given her back then was exchanged for by selling his trophies and gold medals. Tang Xue quickly gave the card Li Yubing had given him to Yu Yan, saying that Li Yubing had a change of heart and didn't make things difficult for her anymore, and told him to redeem his things quickly. Tang Xue also told Yu Yan that she had joined the short track speed skating team.
Yu Yan gave Tang Xue the tickets for Wu Dajing's lecture, and Tang Xue was very happy. Li Yubing arranged to meet the student selling the tickets, who was Qiu Qiu, the one Tang Xue asked him to deliver breakfast to last time. Qiu Qiu was very excited to see Li Yubing. The moment he saw him, he decided to give him the tickets. However, the price was taking many photos with Li Yubing.
Liao Zhenyu gave the poster for the Ice and Snow Creative Competition to Xia Menghuan. However, the submission deadline was tomorrow. Liao Zhenyu decided to stay up all night to help Xia Menghuan with the proposal. Xia Menghuan thought about it and decided to take Liao Zhenyu to her cousin's house to do it. Her cousin hadn't been home recently. Li Yubing waited for a long time downstairs at the dorm building, but saw Yu Yan sending Tang Xue back.
The two of them were each holding a ticket and had agreed to watch the lecture together. Seeing this, Li Yubing didn't give her the ticket he had. Li Yubing still decided to go listen to the lecture, after all, he had already gotten the ticket. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu went to her cousin's house to stay up all night working on the proposal. Suddenly, a large moth flew in.
Liao Zhenyu, scared, covered himself with a blanket and pounced onto Xia Menghuan. The atmosphere between them immediately became a bit ambiguous. The two of them worked on the proposal all night. After finishing the proposal, Xia Menghuan fell asleep on the sofa. Liao Zhenyu covered her with a blanket, then stared at her sleeping face with a infatuated look.
Episode 11 Recap
Early the next morning, Liao Zhenyu was woken up by knocking. When Liao Zhenyu opened the door, he saw a burly man, who immediately punched him. It turned out he was Xia Menghuan's brother-in-law and had misunderstood the situation. Zhang Yuewei received a gift from the dorm aunt. Inside was a phone case. Zhang Yuewei naturally assumed it was from Li Yubing. Zhang Yuewei hurriedly ran to the locker room but only saw Jiang Shijia.
Jiang Shijia shyly asked her if she liked the phone case. Jiang Shijia saw that Zhang Yuewei had misunderstood his intention, thinking it was from Li Yubing. He didn't have time to explain and could only silently let it go. As soon as Tang Xue finished class, she wanted to go to Wu Dajing's lecture but was called to the office by the professor. Yu Yan arrived at the lecture venue but couldn't see Tang Xue.
Li Yubing deliberately sat next to Yu Yan. Yu Yan couldn't get through to Tang Xue on the phone. Li Yubing was being sarcastic. Yu Yan couldn't help but pull Li Yubing aside to talk privately. Yu Yan was a bit angry. Wu Dajing was still giving his lecture when Tang Xue finally arrived late, but she didn't see any sign of Yu Yan.
Yu Yan told Li Yubing that whether he admitted it or not, he liked Tang Xue, and if he wanted a fair and square competition, he was welcome anytime. Li Yubing grabbed Yu Yan, and the two fell to the ground because the poster was unstable. They had a close contact, and everyone's attention immediately focused on them. Leaving the lecture hall, Tang Xue finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. Li Yubing and Yu Yan felt utterly speechless.
Tang Xue asked Li Yubing to apologize to Yu Yan. Seeing Tang Xue holding Yu Yan's arm, Li Yubing quickly pulled him over and reluctantly apologized. Wu Dajing came to catch up with Tang Xue. Tang Xue introduced Li Yubing and Yu Yan to him. When Tang Xue left, she didn't forget to warn Li Yubing not to bully Yu Yan again. Yu Yan asked Li Yubing if he liked Tang Xue.
Li Yubing said disdainfully that in Tang Xue's eyes, Yu Yan was just a child. Yu Yan said it didn't matter, he would definitely give it his all. Tang Xue told Wu Dajing that she had just joined the school's short track speed skating team. Wu Dajing was relieved to see that she hadn't given up. The two had a corn-eating contest. Wu Dajing also encouraged Tang Xue to enter the national team soon.
Yu Yan was uneasy because of Li Yubing's words. His mother called and was worried to find him not in good spirits. Yu Yan unhappily emphasized that he was no longer a child. Li Yubing was also lost in thought because of Yu Yan's words and wandered around for a long time. Li Yubing was going to participate in the national youth team training tomorrow.
That night, he specifically ran to the ice hockey rink to tell Tang Xue about it. Tang Xue was still training, and the results were not good. Yu Yan observed for a while and realized Tang Xue was too nervous, so he thought of a way to help her. On the ice, Yu Yan held her hand and told her to close her eyes, forget her goal, forget her obsession, and relax her body. Tang Xue gradually relaxed.
She smiled and told Yu Yan she felt it. Yu Yan couldn't help but move closer to Tang Xue. Just as he was about to touch Tang Xue's face, Li Yubing shouted that Coach Jin was looking for him. After Yu Yan left, Li Yubing looked at Tang Xue with a grim face. He told Tang Xue he was going to Harbin for national youth team training tomorrow.
He also didn't forget to warn Tang Xue to train hard and not get distracted by dating. Tang Xue said she would watch the competition and go see him off tomorrow. Li Yubing suddenly stopped Tang Xue and ran towards her. However, Li Yubing forgot he wasn't wearing skates and stumbled towards Tang Xue. The two fell down. The important thing was that Tang Xue accidentally landed on Li Yubing.
Li Yubing, whose first kiss was taken, ran away crying, while Tang Xue, who was accidentally touched on the chest, couldn't even cry. Tang Xue left awkwardly after changing clothes. On the way, she met a sad-looking Yu Yan. Late at night, Li Yubing and Tang Xue were both savoring the accidental kiss. Li Yubing had a sweet dream while touching Jiang Shijia's hand. Jiang Shijia quickly woke him up.
Just as Xia Menghuan woke Tang Xue up, she received a call from Li Yubing. Li Yubing urged her to come see him off. Tang Xue hurriedly started packing. Xia Menghuan also ran off to participate in the proposal competition. Coach Xu, Zhang Yuewei, and Jiang Shijia came together to see Li Yubing off. Tang Xue appeared with breakfast. The atmosphere between the two of them was very ambiguous.
One didn't know what he was saying, and the other only stared at Tang Xue's mouth and didn't hear what she was saying. When Li Yubing left, he didn't forget to tell Tang Xue not to date, or she wouldn't get into the short track speed skating team. Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan participated in the proposal competition together. They won second prize and three thousand yuan in prize money.
But Xia Menghuan wasn't happy because she wanted to see the sloth more. They found a stray cat. Xia Menghuan wanted to use the three thousand yuan prize money to start a stray animal home. Li Yubing arrived at the training camp location. On the first day, he met his strong opponent Song Anjie.
Episode 12 Recap
Li Yubing and others were punished by Coach Wang to run fifty laps. He also told them that from the moment they stepped in, they represented not a university or a club, but the nation. Coach Wang grouped them for training and selected the captain of the national youth team based on their performance. Li Yubing and Song Anjie were each captains. In the end, Li Yubing won, but the national youth team captain was Song Anjie.
Li Yubing was clearly not satisfied and asked Coach Wang if he still had any shortcomings. Coach Wang told him to think carefully about why this was the case. Li Yubing stayed in the locker room alone. Coach Xu called to ask about his situation, and Li Yubing sounded a bit choked up. Coach Jin was going to have dinner with Coach Chu. Coach Xu uncharacteristically said nothing.
Just as Coach Chu was about to say never mind, Manager Ma came to find Coach Jin to ask about Yu Yan, and Coach Chu decisively left. Manager Ma felt that Yu Yan hadn't been quite right recently, always following Tang Xue. Coach Jin didn't think it was anything, but Yu Yan hadn't neglected his training. Coach Chu came to comfort Coach Xu. Coach Xu had been sighing about Li Yubing's matter.
The two made a plan to go home and drink pork rib soup. Yu Yan came to find Tang Xue again and said he hadn't watched a movie in many years and wanted Tang Xue to go with him. Tang Xue agreed. Coach Jin ran to find Coach Chu and was told by the team members that she was with Coach Jin. The next day, when Yu Yan and Tang Xue watched the movie, Tang Xue kept falling asleep.
It wasn't until she saw the male and female leads' kissing scene that her body stiffened and she remembered the kiss with Li Yubing. Tang Xue and Yu Yan also played the claw machine together. Tang Xue tried several times but didn't succeed. Li Yubing's training was not going smoothly. He only remembered his friend's words before he left, telling him to score more goals. Yu Yan won many dolls for Tang Xue.
The two walked towards the school carrying a large pile of dolls. Tang Xue suddenly received a call from Li Yubing. She asked Yu Yan to help her hold something, and Li Yubing quickly hung up when he heard Yu Yan's name. Tang Xue returned to the dormitory with a large pile of dolls. Xia Menghuan felt relieved seeing that she had gone out with Yu Yan.
Ye Liuying hit the nail on the head, saying 'the falling flowers yearn, but the flowing water is indifferent'. Coach Jin talked to Yu Yan and asked him if he was dating Tang Xue. Yu Yan said not yet and also said he would train hard and wouldn't disappoint them. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu's stray animal home was seen by the department head. The department head applied to the school to give them a space.
Xia Menghuan was very happy and accidentally saw the scar Liao Zhenyu got from sawing wood. Liao Zhenyu's image in her heart suddenly grew taller. The two talked about who Tang Xue was a better match for. Xia Menghuan thought Yu Yan was better, while Liao Zhenyu stood on Li Yubing's side. The two also made a bet, and whoever won would agree to one condition from the other.
Yu Yan received a message from Xia Menghuan saying that Tang Xue hadn't eaten dinner yet. At the same time, Li Yubing also received a message from Liao Zhenyu saying that Tang Xue had been mentioning Li Yubing recently and probably missed him, and told him to call Tang Xue more often. Yu Yan quickly went to find Tang Xue and asked her out for dinner.
Tang Xue was going to watch a competition soon, so the two found a restaurant with a TV. Tang Xue and the boss were both fans of the same TV show, so she asked for the remote control and changed it to the sports channel. This competition was Li Yubing's match. Li Yubing received Tang Xue's message before he went on the ice and immediately felt full of confidence. The competition began.
Tang Xue spotted Li Yubing among the players at a glance. Yu Yan felt a bit sour. Tang Xue smiled and said that Li Yubing in her eyes came with a dog's head. At the last moment, Li Yubing should have passed the puck to his teammate, but because he didn't trust his teammate, he gambled everything and lost the game. Everyone was frozen. Li Yubing's teammates were even more dissatisfied with him.
Song Anjie specifically told him that losing was not his problem alone, but that he didn't trust his teammates, and that was his problem. Tang Xue couldn't eat because Li Yubing lost the game. Seeing this, Yu Yan silently said in his heart, you don't even know how much you care about him. Li Yubing looked at Tang Xue's call page but didn't call. He first received a call from Zhang Yuewei.
Zhang Yuewei comforted him not to take it to heart. Li Yubing hung up perfunctorily. Li Yubing soon received another call from Jiang Shijia, expressing his frustration. Li Yubing had been waiting for Tang Xue's call. Tang Xue typed many words but didn't know how to comfort Li Yubing. After thinking it over, she called her parents and asked them to send her elementary school photo albums. Li Yubing never received Tang Xue's call.
It was the first time his proud sports career was questioned, and Li Yubing felt terrible. Jiang Shijia and Zhang Yuewei wanted to do something for Li Yubing, but there was nothing they could do. The training was in pairs. No one wanted to team up with Li Yubing. Seeing this, Song Anjie teamed up with Li Yubing. The stray pet home opened. Several people gathered for the unveiling. Xia Menghuan specifically thanked Liao Zhenyu and Tang Xue.
Tang Xue's major classes were delayed a lot, but currently, the most important thing for her was becoming a full member of the short track speed skating team. Other things could only be put aside. After Tang Xue got the childhood photo albums, she found a group photo of her and Li Yubing's two families. Li Yubing was called to Coach Wang's office.
Li Yubing thought that everyone didn't understand him well enough; it was just that he didn't perform well last time. Seeing that Li Yubing still didn't understand, Coach Wang was a bit angry. He said not understanding teamwork showed he wasn't mature enough.
Episode 13 Recap
Coach Xu was worried about Li Yubing's poor condition and specially came to see him, helping him analyze the problem. Li Yubing was too self-centered, but ice hockey requires teamwork. Coach Xu analyzed the information of all national youth team members and told Li Yubing a lot. Before leaving, Coach Xu also gave Li Yubing the things Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue asked him to bring.
Seeing Coach Xu's dedicated figure, Li Yubing silently made up his mind not to disappoint Coach Xu. Zhang Yuewei said she would always stay by Li Yubing's side. Tang Xue sent a photo. At that time, Li Yubing and Tang Xue were arranged by the teacher to make a blackboard newspaper together. Tang Xue was original and made a splash. They won first place, and the two families took this photo together.
From this incident, Li Yubing also realized that he should trust Tang Xue. Tang Xue sent a voice message. Li Yubing said he understood what she meant. Tang Xue also shared with him that her training speed improved today. Tang Xue wanted to see snow, so Li Yubing started a video call and filmed snow scenery for Tang Xue in the heavy snow.
Just as Li Yubing was about to say something, his phone's battery died from the cold, and the screen went black. Back in the dormitory, Tang Xue asked Xia Menghuan which social practice gave the most credits, and finally signed up for the same one as Xia Menghuan. Back in the locker room, Song Anjie had just finished extra training. Li Yubing apologized, saying the previous match was his problem.
Song Anjie was actually happy to hear him say this, because he had just joined the national youth team and was also eager to perform. At the animal research base, a group of people were chasing piglets to herd them. Today's practical class was very important; if they failed, they wouldn't pass the final exam. Tang Xue couldn't catch the piglet no matter how she chased it.
Time was almost up, so Tang Xue had to call out to Xia Menghuan for help. As a result, she accidentally injected Xia Menghuan's arm during the injection. Tang Xue felt very guilty. Now she had no credits left. Xia Menghuan thought for a moment and suggested she participate in the campus singer competition, which could earn her two credits. Tang Xue was very confident in her singing voice. However, after she showed off her singing, Xia Menghuan became hesitant.
The match started again. Li Yubing played steadily this time, and the Chinese national youth team won the championship. Tang Xue and Coach Xu were overjoyed when they saw this scene. After the match, Song Anjie brought his teammates to catch up with Li Yubing, and everyone resolved their differences. Zhou Ran suddenly ran up to find Li Yubing, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Seeing this, the ice hockey team members started cheering.
Li Yubing unhappily pulled Zhou Ran aside, didn't accept her flowers, and reluctantly agreed to take a photo together as a souvenir. Zhou Ran wanted to ask Li Yubing out to celebrate and also wanted him to take her back. Li Yubing didn't agree to either request. Seeing this, Zhou Ran was very unconvinced in her heart. She refused to believe she couldn't win him over.
Turning around, Zhou Ran posted the joint photo on WeChat Moments, adding an ambiguous caption. When Bian Cheng saw it, he immediately understood that Zhou Ran helped him because of Li Yubing. Bian Cheng thought for a moment and decided to organize a class reunion. The photo of Zhou Ran and Li Yubing was immediately posted online. Everyone said Zhou Ran was Li Yubing's girlfriend. Tang Xue complained that Li Yubing was a flirt, attracting attention.
Deng Jianguo was sad because of the rumors about Zhou Ran and Li Yubing and vented to a netizen, but he didn't know the other party was Ye Liuying. Li Yubing was returning to Lincheng tomorrow and specifically came to thank Coach Wang. Song Anjie was looking forward to fighting alongside Li Yubing again next year. Li Yubing specifically messaged Tang Xue to tell her he was returning tomorrow. Song Anjie gossiped about Li Yubing's relationship with yesterday's Zhou Ran.
Li Yubing denied it, saying she wasn't, and his mind was filled with the image of a classmate. Tang Xue became a big eater after training. Liao Zhenyu asked her if she was going to the high school reunion, and Tang Xue said of course she was. Tang Xue felt very uncomfortable because of the rumors about Li Yubing and Zhou Ran. She immediately started practicing singing, tormenting Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying until they were exhausted.
Xia Menghuan told Yu Yan that Tang Xue had signed up for the campus singer competition and suggested Yu Yan be her assisting performer. Yu Yan quickly went to find Tang Xue. After Tang Xue repeatedly confirmed that it wouldn't delay Yu Yan's training, she agreed. Li Yubing chose a necklace. Liao Zhenyu also told him that Tang Xue had signed up for the campus singer competition and that Yu Yan was her assisting performer.
Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia picked Li Yubing up together. When Li Yubing was taking something out of his bag, he accidentally dropped the necklace on the ground. Zhang Yuewei naturally thought it was for her when she saw it. Li Yubing denied it in one sentence. How could something like this be given to a brother? Li Yubing rejected Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia's request to celebrate together.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he went to find Tang Xue, who was training with Yu Yan. Liao Zhenyu gave him the location information and did his best to make Li Yubing stay and help Tang Xue. Finally, he came up with a plan: Yu Yan would be the dancer, and Li Yubing the accompanist. Xia Menghuan said discontentedly, "Does Li Yubing even know how to play an instrument?" Li Yubing humbly replied, "Piano level ten."
Seeing this, Tang Xue remembered seeing Li Yubing secretly practice the piano when they were children. Tang Xue weighed the pros and cons repeatedly and agreed to Liao Zhenyu's suggestion. Jiang Shijia came to vent because of the love triangle involving him, Zhang Yuewei, and Li Yubing, but saw Zhang Yuewei also furiously punching to vent because the person she liked didn't like her.
Zhou Ran gave Deng Jianguo some specialties from Harbin and said she went to Harbin for something, and giving flowers to Li Yubing was just coincidental. Zhou Ran signed up for the campus singer competition and hoped Deng Jianguo could persuade Li Yubing to be her assisting performer. However, Deng Jianguo told her that Li Yubing had already agreed to be Tang Xue's assisting performer.
Episode 14 Recap
Deng Jianguo volunteered to be Zhou Ran's assisting performer, but Zhou Ran completely disliked him and chose Yang Liping from the street dance club. Ye Liuying saw Deng Jianguo being rejected and went forward to advise him to know his place, but Deng Jianguo retorted that she was useless. Ye Liuying angrily cursed that her good intentions were misunderstood. Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan worried if Tang Xue could win this time.
Ye Liuying helped them analyze the situation and found that Tang Xue's biggest opponent was Zhou Ran. Although Zhou Ran's singing was also average, it was better than Tang Xue's. Now they could only rely on fate. After getting the news, Tang Xue immediately rushed to sneak a look at Zhou Ran's rehearsal. Seeing this, Zhou Ran came forward and ridiculed her singing out of tune.
Tang Xue brought up Yu Yan and Li Yubing, almost infuriating Zhou Ran to death. After getting rid of Zhou Ran, Tang Xue ran to rehearse with Yu Yan and Li Yubing. However, Tang Xue's extremely off-key singing made Li Yubing complain that her voice sounded like it had been gnawed by a husky. Tang Xue forced Yu Yan to say how she sang. Yu Yan ambiguously replied that the most important thing was confidence.
Li Yubing saw Yu Yan dancing next to Tang Xue, and his piano playing also gradually went off-key. At the campus singer competition, Tang Xue let down her hair and put on makeup. Liao Zhenyu, Xia Menghuan, and Ye Liuying all came to cheer for her. Yu Yan and Li Yubing were also stunned when they saw the rarely seen goddess-like Tang Xue. After entering the venue, Ye Liuying, as fate would have it, sat next to Deng Jianguo.
The two ridiculed each other, and Ye Liuying, the top student, almost got into an argument with him. Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan quickly tried to smooth things over. Bian Cheng was sitting behind Liao Zhenyu. It turned out their class reunion was held near Linde University tonight. Liao Zhenyu thought Bian Cheng was there for Zhou Ran, but Bian Cheng quickly explained. Xia Menghuan took out some cotton wool, ready to plug her ears when Tang Xue performed.
Liao Zhenyu realized Bian Cheng was there for Tang Xue and decided to think about how to help Li Yubing. Backstage, Tang Xue was a little uneasy. Zhou Ran also rubbed salt in her wound, but Li Yubing quickly spoke up to help. The singing competition was in full swing. It was almost Zhou Ran's turn, but Yang Liping suddenly ditched her at the last minute. Zhou Ran had no choice but to decide to go on stage alone.
Although Zhou Ran was nervous, she performed very well. Liao Zhenyu couldn't help but worry for Tang Xue. The next to perform was the Bing Yu Xue group. Deng Jianguo didn't have time to watch and rushed to flatter Zhou Ran with flowers. With Li Yubing and Yu Yan, the two great male gods, together on stage, the audience below was discussing Tang Xue's background. With Li Yubing there, Tang Xue didn't sing out of tune.
Xia Menghuan and the others took off their cotton wool and were instantly amazed by Tang Xue's singing. Deng Jianguo came to give Zhou Ran flowers and wanted to ask her out for dinner. Zhou Ran said she had a class reunion that night. Bian Cheng also walked up to Zhou Ran and helped her out, introducing himself as her high school classmate. Seeing this, Deng Jianguo had no choice but to leave.
Zhou Ran provoked Bian Cheng, saying Tang Xue had Ice God on her left and a figure skating prince on her right. Bian Cheng knew Yu Yan was not a concern, but Li Yubing was not to be underestimated. Tang Xue, Li Yubing, and Yu Yan happily walked off the stage. It turned out Li Yubing had specially helped Tang Xue with her pitch, which was why she performed exceptionally well on stage.
Tang Xue couldn't pull up her zipper, so Yu Yan helped her. Seeing this, Li Yubing unhappily covered Tang Xue's head with his jacket. Tang Xue was very angry at first, but then turned around and helped Li Yubing put on his jacket. It turned out Zhou Ran had arrived. Zhou Ran and Tang Xue, the two sisters, were equally sharp-tongued.
Zhou Ran told Tang Xue that Bian Cheng would also be at the reunion that night, and Tang Xue's mood instantly dropped by half. Li Yubing, however, encouraged Tang Xue, saying it was just a class reunion and not going would make her seem guilty. At the reunion, Bian Cheng sat with Tang Xue, and Zhou Ran sat across from them. Zhou Ran also told everyone that Bian Cheng found this restaurant because of Tang Xue's inspiration.
Everyone looked at Bian Cheng in confusion. Bian Cheng said this restaurant was very similar to a castle, and Tang Xue liked Disney princesses the most. Everyone started teasing them, and Liao Zhenyu gritted his teeth watching. Bian Cheng specially helped Tang Xue cut her steak. Seeing this, Zhou Ran again ridiculed her for being a big eater. The conversation became lively as they discussed Tang Xue's past embarrassing stories.
Liao Zhenyu recorded a video and sent it to Li Yubing. Li Yubing felt very sad in his heart, having missed all sorts of Tang Xue's moments. Back then, Li Yubing didn't want to go to the same middle school as Tang Xue, so he chose High School No. 1. That one decision led to six years of emptiness. After the reunion ended, Liao Zhenyu went to find Xia Menghuan. Bian Cheng offered to take Tang Xue back.
Just as Tang Xue was about to refuse, Li Yubing appeared on his bicycle, and Tang Xue quickly got on his bike. Seeing this, Zhou Ran sighed. Bian Cheng was quite calm, telling Zhou Ran, Li Yubing's rumored girlfriend, to work harder to become his official girlfriend, so he would have one less love rival. Seeing Bian Cheng today, Tang Xue felt like she was seeing her past self, like seeing a fool.
Tang Xue hadn't eaten enough, and her stomach quickly started to rumble. Li Yubing had prepared snacks for her. The two walked towards the dorm building together. Tang Xue said with some regret that it would have been great if Li Yubing's parents hadn't divorced back then. Li Yubing wanted to explain but couldn't bring himself to, because Tang Xue really hated being deceived. Tang Xue returned to her dorm.
Li Yubing looked at the snowflake necklace he bought for her in his arms but didn't take it out. Li Yubing met Deng Jianguo and, looking troubled, asked him for relationship advice, still unwilling to admit that he wanted to confess. Deng Jianguo told him that the timing of being honest was very important.
Episode 15 Recap
Li Yubing slumped in his chair, thinking about every little bit of his reunion with Tang Xue. He didn't even want to admit it himself, but it turned out he had already fallen for Tang Xue a long time ago. Li Yubing stayed up all night in this position, unable to close his eyes.
Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia were very worried when they saw he hadn't slept all night, but when Li Yubing turned his head, he actually mistook both Jiang Shijia and Deng Jianguo for Tang Xue. Li Yubing was startled and decided to do something to express his feelings. Li Yubing came to find Liao Zhenyu and gave him a pair of sneakers. Liao Zhenyu happily accepted them.
Although he helped Liao Zhenyu partly because of a bet with Xia Menghuan, he sincerely felt that Li Yubing and Tang Xue were a very good match. The short track speed skating team conducted a test. Tang Xue had only one thought: to surpass Li Hongshuang. Tang Xue achieved her goal and officially stayed on the team. Tang Xue was extremely happy. Li Yubing told Liao Zhenyu the reason why he didn't go to Middle School No. 6 back then.
Liao Zhenyu knew that Tang Xue would be very angry if she found out he had deceived her. Li Yubing knew this too, so he decided to secure the relationship first. He wouldn't confess to her yet, but would be quietly good to Tang Xue to make her fall in love with him, and then tell her about the deception once their feelings were deep. Liao Zhenyu readily agreed to help.
As Li Yubing put it, he was the magpie in the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Coach Jin wanted to increase the difficulty of Yu Yan's training and didn't want Yu Yan to be affected by outside factors. His energy should be focused on training now. Yu Yan was stunned, looking at the report of him and Tang Xue participating in the competition, he couldn't put his phone down.
Yu Yan's mother suddenly came to see Yu Yan. Yu Yan subconsciously put down his phone. Yu Yan's mother asked Yu Yan to participate in the National Championships and found a coach in Canada to choreograph a routine for him, but Yu Yan was reluctant to go to Canada.
Coach Jin told Yu Yan's mother that Yu Yan had been somewhat distracted and rebellious in training recently, and asked her to check the Linde University forum if she had a chance. Yu Yan's mother saw his two dolls in Yu Yan's dorm at a glance, one was the sheep Tang Xue gave him, and the other was one they caught together while playing claw machine. Yu Yan's mother quickly went to look at the Linde University forum.
The comments were all discussing who Tang Xue was a better match with. Seeing this, Yu Yan's mother was very worried. During dinner, Yu Yan's mother hinted and asked Yu Yan many questions. Yu Yan was stunned. Zhang Yuewei told Tang Xue that her mother had come and was waiting for her in the lounge. Tang Xue was a little surprised. How did she know she was at the stadium?
Tang Xue quickly ran over, but didn't see her own mother, but rather Yu Yan's mother. After revealing her identity, Yu Yan's mother said she wanted to talk to her. Yu Yan's mother immediately stated that she hoped Tang Xue would understand Yu Yan was still young and simple, and that she and Yu Yan were not suitable for each other. Tang Xue knew she was being misunderstood and retorted sharply.
Yu Yan's mother was very displeased, and Tang Xue simply left. Tang Xue came to the lounge to settle scores with Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei had sharpened her skates for her; this was their previous bet. Besides training every day, Li Yubing was thinking about how to make Tang Xue fall for him. He suddenly saw a flyer titled "Teacher Deng Teaches You How to Date" and scanned the QR code.
He got an idea: he needed to create opportunities to be alone with the girl. Tang Xue won the Best Popularity Award in the Campus Singer Competition and also got academic credits. Liao Zhenyu also told him the news that Tang Xue was staying on the team. Li Yubing immediately had a plan. While having dinner with Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan, Liao Zhenyu suggested they go to the island to celebrate together, and also called Li Yubing.
Tang Xue quickly called Yu Yan and decided to bring him along too. Yu Yan's mother accidentally answered Yu Yan's phone and coldly told her that Yu Yan needed to train and asked her not to disturb him from now on. Tang Xue said that she and Yu Yan were just friends and asked her to let Yu Yan answer the phone, but Yu Yan's mother only told her to have some self-respect.
Tang Xue got angry, slammed the table, and started complaining wildly. On the other end of the phone, Yu Yan's mother hung up, threw both of Yu Yan's dolls into the trash can, and secretly deleted the call history with Tang Xue. Yu Yan, who had forgotten his phone, returned and didn't notice anything unusual.
Li Yubing picked up Manager Ma's new car and went happily to pick up Tang Xue, but found that Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan were also going together, and his heart instantly felt bitter. Li Yubing helped Tang Xue buckle her seatbelt. Tang Xue was a little nervous. After arriving at the island, Li Yubing pulled Tang Xue to walk by the sea and told a very boring story, which made Tang Xue yawn repeatedly.
Xia Menghuan was accidentally stung on the foot by a jellyfish. Liao Zhenyu had no choice but to use an old folk remedy and peed on Xia Menghuan's foot. Xia Menghuan subconsciously hid this matter. Li Yubing told them they would be going out to sea shortly, and everyone was very happy. Yu Yan's mother booked accommodation for Yu Yan in Canada.
Yu Yan didn't want to go and was very angry when he saw the dolls in the trash can. Yu Yan's mother put on a straight face and said that she had already warned Tang Xue not to disturb Yu Yan again in the future, as he was going to be a champion. Yu Yan was very sad. He had always been manipulated by his mother, without his own life or friends, but he also had his own ideas!
If figure skating no longer made Yu Yan happy, then what was the meaning of being a champion? Yu Yan's mother was very angry to hear Yu Yan say this. Ever since Yu Yan's father had an affair, Yu Yan had become her everything. She worked hard and accompanied him in training, all for the sake of Yu Yan's success. Seeing that Yu Yan's mother was angry, Yu Yan quickly stepped forward to apologize.
Yu Yan's mother glanced at Yu Yan and said, "Even if you want to stay, does she really want you to stay?" Yu Yan came to the girls' dormitory. Seeing him looking for Tang Xue, Ye Liuying stepped forward to explain that she and Li Yubing, Xia Menghuan, and Liao Zhenyu had gone out to play and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.
The four of them, including Tang Xue, had been looking forward to the luxury yacht arranged by Manager Ma. When they saw the old, dilapidated boat, they were instantly awkward. Setting out to sea on the old boat, the four of them, including Tang Xue, were still in good spirits and had a great time. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu had a lot of fun playing with the black pig on the boat.
Tang Xue and Li Yubing watched the stars together and remembered how Li Yubing had pointed at the North Star in the sky when they were children and said that was the direction home.
Episode 16 Recap
On the moving boat, Tang Xue and Li Yubing watched the North Star together. When they were children, Li Yubing said it was the direction home. Back then, Tang Xue wanted to travel around like the heroes in Wuxia films, but ended up getting lost and losing their money with Li Yubing. They stood in front of a pancake stall at an intersection for a long time.
The kind aunt gave them two pancakes and even said they would definitely be a family in the future. Tang Xue said that pancake was the best she had ever eaten. Tang Xue suddenly felt a bit cold. Seeing this, Li Yubing ran over to ask the uncle if he had anything they could wear. The uncle handed over a coat.
Li Yubing came back with the coat, and Tang Xue eagerly waited for him to put it on her, but he put it on himself. Tang Xue was petrified and snatched the coat away. Li Yubing accidentally fell into the water because of this. When they returned to the hotel they had booked, Li Yubing, who had just taken a shower, was shivering and planned to use a ploy of self-inflicted injury.
Li Yubing gave Liao Zhenyu a look, and Liao Zhenyu immediately understood. After some effort, Tang Xue stepped forward and decided to take care of the sick Li Yubing. Xia Menghuan was extremely unhappy and immediately suspected that Li Yubing and Liao Zhenyu had conspired. She picked up a thermometer and went into the room, preparing to test him. Li Yubing was a little uneasy. Liao Zhenyu quickly brought in a cup of hot water.
While distracting Tang Xue, Li Yubing vigorously stirred the thermometer in the hot water a few times. When Tang Xue saw the thermometer read thirty-eight degrees, she quickly took out a fever reducer and put it near Li Yubing's mouth. Li Yubing refused, so Tang Xue violently threw it into his mouth. Li Yubing was also forced to drink that not-so-clean water. Seeing this, Liao Zhenyu quickly pulled Xia Menghuan away.
Xia Menghuan felt a bit embarrassed thinking about being stung by a jellyfish today and warned Liao Zhenyu not to tell anyone. During this time, Liao Zhenyu had been very good to Xia Menghuan, and Xia Menghuan's opinion of Liao Zhenyu gradually changed. Liao Zhenyu also took out the paper they signed when they made the bet.
It turned out his condition was for Xia Menghuan to be his girlfriend because the first time he saw her, Liao Zhenyu felt she was the one for him in this life. Xia Menghuan didn't say anything and kissed Liao Zhenyu's cheek. From now on, he was her boyfriend. Liao Zhenyu was thrilled. Yu Yan looked at the photo of him and Tang Xue for a long time. He wished so much that Tang Xue wouldn't fall for someone else.
Li Yubing took out the snowflake necklace and looked at it, then squatted in the bathtub to watch the stars. Tang Xue was startled when she came in, thinking he was taking a bath. Tang Xue sat down next to Li Yubing and watched the stars together. The atmosphere was getting better. Li Yubing wanted to say something to Tang Xue, but his words were blocked by a sneeze she let out. The two were a bit awkward.
Tang Xue took out a candy and put it in her mouth. Li Yubing remembered that he had specifically brought expired candy to school when they were children. Seeing this, Tang Xue brazenly came over and ate it. Li Yubing wished she would get a stomachache immediately, but Tang Xue took a bite and her mouth was full of blood, which scared Li Yubing so much he started crying too.
After the teacher checked, she found that Tang Xue was just losing a tooth, and she still cried and wanted another candy. Li Yubing was startled and snatched the candy from her hand. Tang Xue cried even louder. Thinking of this incident, Tang Xue also put a candy in Li Yubing's mouth. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu watched the stars all night and reluctantly said goodbye in their respective rooms. The next day, Tang Xue woke up from bed.
Li Yubing was curled up asleep in the hammock. Tang Xue looked at Li Yubing and quietly thought, he's still a pretty handsome dog. Li Yubing slowly woke up. Tang Xue took the thermometer and asked him to measure again. Li Yubing asked for a cup of hot water. Tang Xue went to pour the water. Li Yubing quickly opened the bathtub to let the thermometer's temperature rise, but was caught red-handed by Tang Xue.
After returning to school, Liao Zhenyu specially thanked Li Yubing. His progress on this trip was very fast. Tang Xue was unhappy because Li Yubing had lied to her. Seeing this, Li Yubing became even more annoyed. He angrily complained about Teacher Deng's dating class, then grumbled and went back to the dorm. As soon as he returned to the dorm, Deng Jianguo ran over to complain that he had been scammed by an idiot.
It turned out that the Teacher Deng's dating class was his doing. Li Yubing sneered twice, grabbed Deng Jianguo, and beat him up. Yu Yan washed the two dolls clean and missed Tang Xue, who was away on the trip. Ye Liuying was happy to hear that Xia Menghuan had found love, but Tang Xue was still looking unhappy. Ye Liuying then told her that Yu Yan had looked for her yesterday.
Tang Xue quickly got up to find Yu Yan and also brought him a gift. Yu Yan quickly apologized to Tang Xue for his mother's actions and told her that his mother had arranged a Canadian choreographer for him, but he didn't want to go. He didn't know which opportunity he should seize. Tang Xue carelessly agreed that they could video call anytime. Yu Yan asked about Tang Xue's trip with Li Yubing yesterday.
Tang Xue talked non-stop, but Yu Yan felt that she was getting farther and farther away from him. Li Yubing flipped through the photos from the sea trip, and his mood gradually improved. Jiang Shijia brought back snow pears. Li Yubing smiled foolishly looking at the snow pears and posted on his Weibo account, which was named 'Rock Candy Stewed Snow Pear', saying that childhood sweethearts was the most beautiful phrase in the world. Li Yubing called Tang Xue.
Tang Xue reluctantly stopped being angry. In the following days, Li Yubing painstakingly created opportunities to "accidentally" meet Tang Xue and posted his mental journey on Weibo. Tang Xue was often confused by him, but until she smiled, Li Yubing's sky finally cleared up. Shaohua Festival arrived. Every year at this time, girls look forward most to being confessed to. Hearing this, Li Yubing ran to ask Coach Xu for advice on how to pursue a girl.
Episode 17 Recap
Shaohua Festival is also called Confession Festival. Li Hongshuang gossiped with Zhang Yuewei about how she would spend the festival tomorrow, and advised her to be gentler, as many boys wanted to confess to her, but she was too cold for them to dare to speak up. Li Hongshuang also taught Zhang Yuewei a few overly sweet phrases, but Zhang Yuewei spoke like a tomboy and couldn't learn to talk like that at all.
Li Yubing asked Coach Xu how he pursued Coach Chu. Coach Xu said he hung up many colored lights and confessed to Coach Chu, and she agreed. Hearing this, Li Yubing picked up his bag and went to a secluded corner of Lin University, spending a long time hanging colored lights on a tree. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were applying medicine to cats and dogs at the Stray Baby Home together.
Liao Zhenyu was immersed in the joy of being in love when Jiang Shijia suddenly came in with a dog seeking medical attention. Liao Zhenyu felt threatened, fearing Jiang Shijia would become a love rival, and adamantly refused to let Jiang Shijia add Xia Menghuan on WeChat. Jiang Shijia was extremely speechless. Looking at the dreamy world he had set up, Li Yubing seemed to see Tang Xue wearing a long dress, dancing gracefully with him there.
Zhou Ran called Bian Cheng and told him that tomorrow was the school's Shaohua Festival, which would be a good opportunity for him. Bian Cheng felt it wasn't the best time. Zhou Ran advised him to use the power of public opinion. When Zhou Ran was paying the bill, she was told that Deng Jianguo had already paid for her. Deng Jianguo wanted to ask Zhou Ran to have dinner with him tomorrow.
Zhou Ran quickly refused and even shoved the money into Deng Jianguo's hand. Seeing this, Deng Jianguo still did not plan to give up. Liao Zhenyu was a bit sulky due to insecurity, but his strong survival instinct still allowed him to coax Xia Menghuan until she was completely obedient. Tomorrow was Shaohua Festival. Jiang Shijia was hesitating downstairs at the dorm whether to confess to Zhang Yuewei tomorrow.
Yu Yan was also contemplating whether to confess to Tang Xue on the Shaohua Festival tomorrow. The next day, Tang Xue fell asleep in class. Xia Menghuan nudged her awake and gave her a Shaohua Festival gift. The final exams were coming soon. The teacher was angry to see Tang Xue sprawled across the desk without any regard for appearance and walked over to her silently. Tang Xue was so scared she couldn't even speak clearly.
Just as she was being lectured, outside the classroom window, Bian Cheng appeared with a huge painting of a seaside scene and confessed to Tang Xue. The teacher's face became even more unpleasant. She warned Tang Xue that if she didn't score eighty points on the upcoming final exams, she would fail. As soon as the class ended, Tang Xue rushed out to find Bian Cheng. Bian Cheng was a little confused to see Tang Xue wasn't happy.
Tang Xue just hoped that Bian Cheng wouldn't do such things again in the future. Bian Cheng could only quietly leave under everyone's gaze. Jiang Shijia came to find Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei specially changed into a more feminine outfit. Li Yubing wasn't eating with them because he had something to do. Zhang Yuewei secretly complained. Li Yubing had clearly promised to spend the festival with her last year.
Zhang Yuewei wasn't in the mood to eat with Jiang Shijia anymore. Jiang Shijia could only wish her a happy Shaohua Festival and then sighed as he took out the prepared rose from his arms. The Stray Baby Home was short on funds, so Liao Zhenyu organized a fundraiser on campus. Ye Liuying told Xia Menghuan to quickly go to the square to see.
Xia Menghuan went to the square confused and was extremely moved to see Liao Zhenyu sincerely explaining to everyone. Tang Xue did not leave but stayed to continue training. Coach Chu saw this and wanted to sign Tang Xue up for a new competition. Tang Xue was excited. The next day, a leader was coming to inspect, and Coach Chu told Tang Xue to make sure the place was clean and tidy.
Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu successfully raised funds for the Stray Baby Home. Xia Menghuan thought about Liao Zhenyu's actions in the square and cried, deeply moved. After training, Tang Xue cleaned the training room. Just as she lay down on the sofa to rest, Yu Yan appeared with a Shaohua Festival surprise. Tang Xue completely broke down when she saw the floor was dirty.
Yu Yan took out Tang Xue's festival gift, a crystal globe given to him by his grandfather. Just as he was about to confess, he was interrupted by a call from his mother. Tang Xue didn't care about anything else and quickly told Yu Yan to go find his mother, not forgetting to lament that her Shaohua Festival was basically International Workers' Day.
Yu Yan's mother had ordered a custom figure skating costume for him, since he was going to Canada soon, but Yu Yan seemed indifferent. Just as Tang Xue walked out of the stadium, Li Yubing came looking for her, saying he had a surprise. Tang Xue had been startled by surprises all day and quickly ran away, not even caring what surprise Li Yubing was talking about. Li Yubing was speechless. Deng Jianguo and Ye Liuying communicated as online friends.
To avoid being bothered by others' displays of affection, they decided to turn off their phones and forget about the troubles. Zhang Yuewei looked at the couples and the young girls being confessed to, feeling a little envious. Someone in a mascot costume ran over to give Zhang Yuewei flowers and confess to her. Zhang Yuewei gave him a hug, and he hugged back, not forgetting to emphasize that everything he said was serious.
Zhang Yuewei didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a merchant's activity, smiled, and left. Jiang Shijia took off the mascot head and watched Zhang Yuewei's retreating figure. He thought that one day he would stand in front of her, just as himself, and say those words to her and hug her as Jiang Shijia.
Episode 18 Recap
Li Yubing stayed in the decorated place for a long time, staring blankly at the snowflake necklace. Tang Xue wished she could abolish Shaohua Festival. Ye Liuying read in the dorm all day and didn't care about Shaohua Festival at all. Tang Xue asked what Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu did today. It turned out Liao Zhenyu raised over 10,000 yuan for the Stray Baby Home today.
Ye Liuying set an alarm, wanting Xia Menghuan and Tang Xue to review together tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming final exams. The next day, as soon as the alarm rang, the three of them got out of bed to study, for the entire day. However, Tang Xue was troubled by training again. Ye Liuying suggested she find an expert to guide her, for example, Li Yubing.
Early the next morning, Li Yubing was woken up by stones thrown from outside the window. He opened the window and saw Tang Xue downstairs. Li Yubing was very uncomfortable when he heard that Bian Cheng had confessed to Tang Xue on Shaohua Festival. Tang Xue explained her purpose: her training had hit a bottleneck recently, and she wanted to find Li Yubing, an expert, to train her.
Li Yubing pretended to consider, but when Tang Xue mentioned him faking sickness that day, he chickened out and quickly agreed to train Tang Xue. After a day of physical training, Tang Xue was lying on the ground, not forgetting to complain that life was unbearable. Not only did she have to train, but she also had to deal with exams.
She really had no talent in veterinary science; a year of studying couldn't compare to Xia Menghuan studying for a month. Seeing Tang Xue troubled by advanced math, Li Yubing voluntarily offered to tutor her. Tang Xue slapped her thigh, remembering that Li Yubing had always been a top student. So, Tang Xue formally entrusted herself to Li Yubing. Li Yubing teased her, saying she was going to marry him.
Tang Xue waved her hands and cursed him for teasing her. Li Yubing grabbed Tang Xue's hand and leaned in. The atmosphere was awkward and ambiguous. Recovering himself, Li Yubing quickly got up and left. Yu Yan was going to Canada soon, but he still couldn't let go of Tang Xue.
Seeing this, his mother used a push and pull tactic, saying that sending him to Canada wasn't to separate Yu Yan and Tang Xue, but to make Yu Yan more excellent. After all, Tang Xue was also a speed skater, and if Tang Xue one day became a world champion while Yu Yan was still stagnant, how would he face Tang Xue? Seeing this, Yu Yan decisively agreed. Li Yubing was helping Tang Xue review in the library.
However, Li Yubing didn't pay attention to the questions at all. Seeing Tang Xue getting closer and closer to him, his heart started pounding, and he even swallowed. After reviewing for a while, Tang Xue leaned on the table and fell asleep. Li Yubing couldn't help but start thinking about how he had fallen for her. As soon as they left the library, they met Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran pretended her ankle was sprained and cried out in pain.
Tang Xue was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked away directly. Zhou Ran latched onto Li Yubing. Li Yubing stopped Deng Jianguo who was passing by and gave him the task of taking her back. During the struggle between Zhou Ran and Deng Jianguo, she really sprained her ankle and could only sit on Deng Jianguo's bicycle to be taken back by him.
Deng Jianguo was only focused on pursuing girls and completely failed to notice Ye Liuying walking towards him. They collided head-on. Not only did Deng Jianguo not apologize to Ye Liuying, he even cursed her for not watching where she was going. Ye Liuying was furious. Zhou Ran quickly tried to mediate, asking Deng Jianguo to take Ye Liuying to the infirmary, while she herself limped towards the dorm. The Tengxiang Cup competition was next week.
The moment she got her number plate, Tang Xue felt very excited. She planned to change majors, after all, she really had no talent in veterinary science. Tang Xue gave the competition tickets to Yu Yan, Li Yubing, Xia Menghuan, and Liao Zhenyu. However, Yu Yan said he couldn't go because the day before her competition was the day Yu Yan left for Canada. Bian Cheng met with Zhou Ran. He was not discouraged by the previous confession incident.
Zhou Ran gave Tang Xue's competition ticket to Bian Cheng. Bian Cheng decided to write a report to help Tang Xue rise again in the short track speed skating world. Even if she lost, it wouldn't matter, because a report could cover many aspects. Tang Xue went to see her teacher to propose changing majors next semester. She wanted to transfer to the sports college to focus on short track, which was what she truly loved.
The teacher was touched by Tang Xue's sincerity, but she still had to pass the final exams. Yu Yan packed his luggage, preparing to go abroad. Seeing the two dolls, Yu Yan's mind was full of Tang Xue. Picking up his phone, Yu Yan told Tang Xue about his departure. He was afraid Tang Xue would be sad if she came, so he didn't ask her to see him off. But he still told Tang Xue he liked her.
Yu Yan hoped Tang Xue could wait for him to come back and be slow to fall for someone else. After Yu Yan got into the car, Tang Xue arrived late, shouting behind his car for Yu Yan to take care of himself. Seeing this, Yu Yan quickly asked the driver to stop, but his mother told the driver to go faster. Yu Yan's eyes welled up with tears, and he left the place with red eyes.
The confession he was going to send to Tang Xue, Yu Yan ultimately didn't send it. He only told her that he had left. Li Yubing came to find Tang Xue and asked if Yu Yan had said anything. He was a bit surprised to learn that he hadn't said anything. Before Li Yubing could say anything, Tang Xue was called away by Coach Chu to train. Zhang Yuewei had no problem winning the championship in this competition.
Coach Chu didn't have much expectation for Tang Xue; making it to the semifinals would be good. But Tang Xue said everyone wanted to win the championship, and Zhang Yuewei didn't believe her. Tang Xue fought her way into the finals, becoming a dark horse. On the day of the finals, Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were both very nervous. Coach Chu didn't expect Tang Xue to perform so well and praised Li Yubing for having good judgment.
Bian Cheng prepared flowers, just waiting for Tang Xue to achieve a good result. The race began. Zhang Yuewei led all the way. Tang Xue caught up from behind, following closely behind Zhang Yuewei. However, the skater behind her suddenly collided with Tang Xue, knocking her to the ground.
Episode 19 Recap
Tang Xue was knocked down by the person behind her, while Zhang Yuewei took the lead and won the championship. The applause and cheers were non-stop. Tang Xue struggled to get up. Coach Chu and Zhang Yuewei were busy cheering her on. Li Yubing was also very anxious when he saw this. Tang Xue still insisted on finishing the race, even though she lost. Coach Chu came to comfort Tang Xue.
Tang Xue put on a nonchalant look and smiled freely. Li Yubing quickly chased after her. Bian Cheng also followed Tang Xue here, but Tang Xue met Li Yubing head-on, so Bian Cheng hid. Li Yubing didn't say anything, he just gave Tang Xue a hug. Tang Xue was heartbroken that the results of her long efforts had turned into bubbles. She had thought she could surpass herself.
Li Yubing took out the snowflake necklace and put it on Tang Xue's neck, comforting her that she had done very well and this was her medal. As long as you don't admit defeat, you are the winner. Bian Cheng witnessed this scene from around the corner. He planned to change everything during the month of winter break. Tang Xue came to congratulate Zhang Yuewei on winning the gold medal.
Zhang Yuewei remembered their previous bet about who would bark like a dog if they didn't win the gold medal. She turned her head and smiled, saying forget it, but Tang Xue actually barked a few times. Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan were worried about Tang Xue. They circled her several times, afraid she was hurt from the fall and also afraid she was sad. But Tang Xue seemed fine.
Tang Xue didn't stand on the podium this time, but her speed was obvious to all. Coach Chu told Li Yubing that starting next month, her training expenses would be paid by the team, so Li Yubing wouldn't have to pay out of pocket. Li Yubing breathed a sigh of relief, but after he left, Coach Chu realized that Tang Xue had just been standing behind them and heard everything.
Coach Chu told Tang Xue the truth, that Li Yubing had been covering her training expenses after she fell, and even the shoes on her feet were bought by him. Back then, Li Yubing had put in a lot of effort to get her into the team. Tang Xue heard this and left in silence, feeling down. Yu Yan saw the news of Tang Xue falling and was a bit worried.
Just as he was about to send her a message, his mother came in. Yu Yan had been training for the National Championships these past few days. He wanted to surpass himself, and even more, he wanted to become a better version of himself to stand in front of Tang Xue. Tang Xue touched the necklace around her neck and felt complicated when she thought about how she joined the team.
She had thought it was all the result of her own efforts, but she never thought that the reason she was able to join the team was because of Li Yubing. Everyone gathered to congratulate Zhang Yuewei on winning the gold medal. Li Yubing and Jiang Shijia were also there. Coach Chu also comforted Tang Xue, saying that although there was an accident today, she also proved her ability.
But Tang Xue started to doubt if she really had the ability. Li Yubing was afraid Tang Xue felt uncomfortable, so he insisted that her stomach hurt and he needed to take her back. Tang Xue was confused. Zhang Yuewei was very upset when she saw this. Jiang Shijia quickly came out to mediate. Tang Xue cautiously asked Li Yubing if he looked down on her.
She had thought it was Coach Chu who had noticed her, but it turned out to be because of Li Yubing. No matter what, Li Yubing helped her, and Tang Xue should thank him, but she still should pay back the training fees to Li Yubing. It was the end of the semester, and Tang Xue didn't have much money, so she first transferred three thousand yuan to Li Yubing and would give him the rest slowly.
Li Yubing told Tang Xue to give it to him when she won a championship someday. Tang Xue wasn't very confident in herself. Could she really win a championship? Li Yubing continued to comfort Tang Xue. Tang Xue asked him to send her his ID card so they could buy tickets home together. Li Yubing was stunned for a moment. After returning to the dorm, Tang Xue bought tickets for the two of them to go back to Hubing City.
Thinking about the two of them going home together soon, Tang Xue smiled foolishly. At the same time, she realized, could it be that she had fallen for Li Yubing? Liao Zhenyu asked Tang Xue when she was returning to Hubing City. Tang Xue said the team had something going on and resolutely abandoned Liao Zhenyu, not going back with him. Li Yubing smiled uncontrollably when he received Tang Xue's message about going home together.
He then posted on Weibo, saying they didn't come to Lingda University together but were going back to Hubing City together. He started silently looking forward to it in his heart. He was going home with his little Tang block. Tang Xue's final exam results passed as she wished, and she quickly went to handle the transfer process. Jiang Shijia's parents were traveling, and he didn't know where to go for the Chinese New Year this year.
He also asked Zhang Yuewei if she would take him in. Zhang Yuewei readily agreed, and Jiang Shijia silently canceled the tickets he had booked. Tang Xue went to find her teacher to sign the major transfer application form. The school leaders and the sports college had all signed, so the teacher could only silently sign and stamp it. In fact, he also admired Tang Xue. She was very resilient and cheerful, like a little sun.
Tang Xue quickly ran to find Coach Chu, happily telling her that she had transferred into the sports college and was full of expectations for the future. Ye Liuying, Xia Menghuan, and Tang Xue had a barbecue together in the dorm. Ye Liuying got first place in every subject this semester, and her wish for next semester was to have a boyfriend.
Xia Menghuan had a boyfriend and the Stray Baby Home, and Tang Xue was returning to the competition, with some added bonuses. The next day, Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan were reluctant to part when they happened to see Li Yubing and Tang Xue leaving school together. They were surprised, never expecting Tang Xue to walk with Li Yubing. After checking tickets and getting on the train, Tang Xue was accidentally bumped into Li Yubing's arms by a passerby.
The two quickly sat down awkwardly and then each thought about whether to speak first. Tang Xue felt relieved after finishing the transfer. Li Yubing remembered when they learned skating together in third grade. Tang Xue participated in a short track speed skating competition and won an award, and she showed off her certificate every day. However, Tang Xue was very worried about how her parents would react.
Li Yubing said that no matter what happened, he would be by her side. Jiang Shijia silently watched Zhang Yuewei train. He thought that as long as he could silently support her, it would be enough. Tang Xue fell asleep in a daze, her head swaying on Li Yubing's shoulder. Li Yubing quickly supported her head with his hand. After arriving at the station, Li Yubing got off the train to get their luggage.
The aunt next to Tang Xue told her that Li Yubing had been supporting her head with his hand the whole way, changing hands many times, and hadn't even taken a sip of water. Tang Xue felt a little awkward when she heard this. Tang's father came to pick up Tang Xue. When he saw Li Yubing next to her, his expression changed.
Li Yubing hadn't asked his parents to pick him up, so Tang Xue pulled Li Yubing along and asked her father to give him a ride back. Along the way, Tang's father secretly looked at Li Yubing and subtly inquired about the relationship between the two of them. Tang Xue remembered that Li Yubing should live in Annan District if he was in the first middle school. Li Yubing quickly agreed and got off the car in Annan District.
Tang Xue felt even sadder when she thought about Li Yubing's parents' divorce. Li Yubing returned home and told his parents that he had hitched a ride back with Tang Xue today. Li's mother remembered Tang Xue. When Li Yubing was a child, he was almost disfigured by her, and Tang's mother had even said she would compensate him by giving Tang Xue to him as his wife.
Episode 20 Recap
When they were children, Tang Xue accidentally pushed Li Yubing into a thorny bush. Li Yubing's mother took Li Yubing to the hospital, and Tang Xue's mother happened to be on duty at the hospital, so she quickly apologized for Tang Xue. Li Yubing's mother was worried that Li Yubing would be disfigured and unable to marry a wife, so Tang Xue's mother jokingly offered Tang Xue as compensation.
Li Yubing's mother asked Li Yubing if Tang Xue had a boyfriend and what happened between them at university. Li Yubing ate with his head down without saying anything. After Tang Xue returned home, she hugged her mother. Her mother saw Tang Xue's developed muscles and thought she had gone to a sports school. Tang Xue was a little stiff, wondering if she had been exposed so quickly.
Tang Xue was worried about how to tell her parents about changing majors. Looking at the table full of food, she put the matter aside, thinking there was still a whole holiday. Tang Xue said that she came back with Li Yubing. Li Yubing's mother suddenly remembered that Li Yubing was Tang Xue's elementary school deskmate. Tang Xue's father told her to interact less with Li Yubing, secretly fearing that their precious daughter would be snatched away.
Tang Xue asked Li Yubing to go skating together tomorrow, and then she happily fell asleep. Bian Cheng and Zhou Ran also returned to Hubing City. Bian Cheng asked Zhou Ran for Tang Xue's father's work information at the newspaper office, saying he wanted to learn about a senior. Zhou Ran knew that Bian Cheng just wanted to use the opportunity to get close to Tang Xue's father.
A classmate sent a message saying Teacher Li had given birth and asked Bian Cheng to visit her when he had time. Bian Cheng quickly called Tang Xue to ask her to visit the teacher together. Tang Xue refused, saying she had something to do today because she needed to maintain her condition on the ice. Bian Cheng hung up the phone and found an ice rink near Tang Xue, planning to pretend to run into her.
After Tang Xue and Li Yubing met up, they encountered a small flower stand. Li Yubing told Tang Xue to pick a bunch. Tang Xue felt a bit regretful when she saw the newspaper used to wrap the flowers, as it was from her father's newspaper office. Tang Xue and Li Yubing entered the ice rink, and Bian Cheng also arrived. He was a bit surprised to see them practicing on the ice together.
Bian Cheng changed into his skates and pretended to bump into Tang Xue. Li Yubing saw them together and quickly rushed over, startling Bian Cheng and making him lose his balance. Bian Cheng wanted Tang Xue to teach him how to skate. Li Yubing naturally refused and proactively offered to teach Bian Cheng himself. Seeing this, Tang Xue quietly left. Li Yubing supported Bian Cheng while skating and directly tripped him.
Bian Cheng was a little angry and told Li Yubing that he liked Tang Xue. Li Yubing smiled and said he also liked Tang Xue. Bian Cheng declared war, saying that Tang Xue had liked him for the past three years. Li Yubing didn't care. When Tang Xue came over, the two of them pretended to be harmonious again.
Jiang Shijia came to the restaurant that he, Li Yubing, and Zhang Yuewei often went to, and made a reservation with Tie Ge for New Year's Eve dinner. Zhang Yuewei wasn't going home this time either, so he asked Tie Ge to make Zhang Yuewei's favorite spicy hotpot, even though he couldn't eat spicy food. Tie Ge advised Jiang Shijia to bravely confess, but Jiang Shijia was afraid of losing her. Tang Xue, Li Yubing, and Bian Cheng left together.
Li Yubing invited Tang Xue to the ice rink in the western suburbs another day right in front of Bian Cheng, which made Bian Cheng grit his teeth in anger. When the two of them shook hands, they both secretly used force. After returning home, Tang Xue lied and said she went sledding. She also carefully asked her father if it would be okay to go back to skating. Her father was very emotional when he heard this.
The last incident with Tang Xue had hit them quite hard. Tang Xue was their only daughter, and they had no other demands on her, only hoping that she would be safe and sound. Seeing this, Tang Xue felt inwardly distressed. Tang Xue didn't know that her parents would be so against her skating. Li Yubing asked Tang Xue to go back to their primary school tomorrow. The next day, the two of them went back to primary school together.
Tang Xue dejectedly told Li Yubing that she had probed her father, and his attitude was very firm. Now she could only keep it a secret for the time being. The two of them only remembered when they arrived at the entrance of the primary school that the school was closed for the holiday, and the gate was locked. Li Yubing wanted to leave, but Tang Xue directly pulled him and climbed over the wall.
Li Yubing accidentally cut his hand. Tang Xue pouted and blew on his hand, and Li Yubing immediately fell into sweet imagination again. Snapping back to reality, he took a photo of Tang Xue's back. Returning to their former classroom, six years of primary school life immediately came to mind. Tang Xue suddenly pulled Li Yubing into the grass to dig up the wish bottle they had buried together there.
The two of them had agreed to dig up the wish bottle when they turned eighteen. After Li Yubing dug up the wish bottle, he opened the note. His wish was for the Tang Xue he hated the most to disappear. However, these words couldn't be seen by Tang Xue, so Li Yubing quickly ate the paper. After Tang Xue dug up her wish bottle and turned around, she saw that Li Yubing's wish bottle was empty.
Li Yubing found a ridiculous reason to gloss over it. Tang Xue's wish was for Li Yubing to get a zero on every test, because when they were children, her father had promised to take her to Disneyland if she got first place, but thanks to Li Yubing, she had never been. However, thinking about their primary school life still made Tang Xue very happy.
Li Yubing felt a bit guilty for not being able to fulfill his promise, but he guaranteed that from now on, they would never get separated again. On the way home together, Tang Xue asked Li Yubing why someone as excellent as him wasn't dating. Li Yubing said he had someone he liked. Tang Xue immediately nervously asked who it was. Li Yubing refused to say, and Tang Xue twisted her head away proudly, saying she had one too!
After returning home, Li Yubing indulgently posted a Weibo message: My little dummy, the girl I like is you. The accompanying picture was the photo he secretly took of Tang Xue's back today. Liao Zhenyu was messaging Xia Menghuan when Li Yubing called and said Tang Xue had someone she liked and asked if Liao Zhenyu thought it was him.
Liao Zhenyu joked that maybe it was Yu Yan, or maybe Bian Cheng, since Bian Cheng was the first boy Tang Xue had liked. Liao Zhenyu suggested that Li Yubing should make a move first and compared Tang Xue to a Spring Festival train ticket. After hanging up, Liao Zhenyu hadn't finished typing when Tang Xue called again to ask who the girl Li Yubing liked was. Liao Zhenyu teased Tang Xue, asking if she liked Li Yubing.
Tang Xue stammered that she did like Li Yubing! Liao Zhenyu snickered, calling Li Yubing popular and telling her to think carefully about what to do. After hanging up, Xia Menghuan called Liao Zhenyu again. At this moment, Li Yubing suddenly called again and said he had figured it out and needed to take action. Liao Zhenyu simply and crudely divided it into three steps and told Li Yubing to find a place with a sense of ceremony.
He then quickly hung up to deal with Xia Menghuan. However, Xia Menghuan was already annoyed because he had hung up on her. Li Yubing was preparing to confess to Tang Xue and asked Liao Zhenyu to find a location. Liao Zhenyu was stuck in traffic and hadn't arrived yet, but Tang Xue had already gotten there. Li Yubing was unsure what to say when suddenly a drunk man came to harass Tang Xue.
Li Yubing even thought he was hired by Liao Zhenyu. Tang Xue accidentally punched the man, and then she and Li Yubing sat down to listen to his story about his failed confession.
Episode 21 Recap
After comforting the sad passerby, Li Yubing and Tang Xue were about to leave when suddenly, behind them, the sky erupted with dazzling fireworks. The two of them turned to look. Tang Xue was full of surprise, while Li Yubing hesitated whether to seize the opportunity to confess. Liao Zhenyu appeared and interrupted them. Li Yubing, afraid that Liao Zhenyu would give them away, quickly pulled him along. Tang Xue quickly asked them to explain what had just happened.
Liao Zhenyu then realized that Li Yubing hadn't confessed yet and quickly urged him to hurry, telling him not to waste all the money he had spent! Liao Zhenyu left. Li Yubing fumbled, unable to speak. Tang Xue was about to turn and leave. Li Yubing quickly confessed, "Tang Xue, I like you!" Fireworks bloomed again.
Tang Xue was stunned for a long while, then she giggled and chided Li Yubing for being so slow, saying he should have said so earlier. Li Yubing stepped forward. Tang Xue pulled him into her arms, and they embraced. Late at night, Tang Xue recalled the scene of Li Yubing's confession. Li Yubing happened to call and say mushy sweet words, and even asked Tang Xue to coax him to sleep.
Tang Xue told him a story, but as she was talking, she coaxed herself to sleep. Li Yubing looked at the phone that was still connected, feeling a bit speechless, but he couldn't bear to hang up, so he just quietly listened to Tang Xue's breathing. The next morning, Tang Xue's father noisily announced that Tang Xue had a fever. If Tang Xue's mother hadn't been a doctor, he would have immediately taken Tang Xue to the hospital.
After carefully feeding Tang Xue the medicine, Tang Xue's father and mother told Tang Xue to get a good rest. Tang Xue took out her phone and was stunned to see a call record of over four hundred minutes with Li Yubing. She posted on her Moments saying she was sick before finally feeling at ease and falling asleep. Zhou Ran saw Tang Xue's Moments and quickly called Bian Cheng, telling him his chance had come.
Tang Xue's father said someone was here to see Tang Xue. Tang Xue instinctively thought it was Li Yubing and quickly tidied herself up before going downstairs. However, the visitors were Bian Cheng and Zhou Ran. Tang Xue's smile was a little stiff. Zhou Ran also hinted to Tang Xue's father that Bian Cheng was someone Tang Xue had a crush on in the past.
Tang Xue's father remembered that Bian Cheng was the top scorer in the college entrance exam that year. Tang Xue was not in the mood to entertain them and went upstairs, saying she wasn't feeling well. Zhou Ran helped Bian Cheng build a relationship with Tang Xue's father. Both were in the newspaper industry, and Bian Cheng charmed Tang Xue's father completely.
Zhou Ran came to help Tang Xue's mother hang clothes and accidentally told her that Tang Xue had started skating again. Tang Xue's mother's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she told Zhou Ran to absolutely not tell Tang Xue's father, otherwise, it would be a big deal. Tang Xue's father suggested Bian Cheng write articles for the newspaper, and the two of them talked very happily.
Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan both sent messages to Tang Xue, but only Li Yubing had no movement. Tang Xue complained inwardly, thinking that Moment was posted specifically for him to see. At this moment, Li Yubing arrived at Tang Xue's house holding a bouquet of flowers and a large pile of supplements. Tang Xue's father opened the door and looked somewhat unwelcoming when he saw him.
Li Yubing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he saw Bian Cheng was also there. Tang Xue's father arranged to meet Li Yubing tomorrow morning at a cafe, and then shut him out of the door, not even accepting the gifts. Li Yubing was extremely disappointed and had no choice but to leave the things lonely in Tang Xue's yard and leave.
Tang Xue heard the commotion and quickly went downstairs, but Tang Xue's father stopped her from chasing Li Yubing, saying he was not honest. Liao Zhenyu was reading in a cafe when Xia Menghuan suddenly arrived. The two were very pleasantly surprised to see each other. Tang Xue's father told Tang Xue that Li Yubing went to High School No. 1 because he wanted to avoid her, not because his parents divorced.
Tang Xue was unwilling to believe it and wanted to find Li Yubing herself to clarify. Tang Xue went upstairs. Bian Cheng and Zhou Ran quickly got up and left. Tang Xue's father did not forget to tell Bian Cheng to visit their home more often when he had time, clearly having a good impression of him. Tang Xue's mother went upstairs to comfort Tang Xue, telling her not to dwell on what happened when they were children.
Tang Xue thought for a long time before calling Li Yubing and asking him if he went to High School No. 1 back then to avoid her. Li Yubing admitted it somewhat guiltily. Tang Xue didn't understand why. They clearly got along very well back then. Why didn't Li Yubing tell her if he didn't want to go at first?
Li Yubing said that Tang Xue was too bossy when she was a child, so he was a little afraid of her. Tang Xue was extremely sad. From now on, he wouldn't have to be afraid of her, because they wouldn't meet again. Tang Xue hung up the phone sadly. When did she become the person Li Yubing described? The next day, Tang Xue's father met Li Yubing and took out something.
This was something Tang Xue had asked him to return to Li Yubing when they graduated from primary school. Back then, Tang Xue's father saw that Li Yubing didn't go to Middle School No. 6 and called Li Yubing's mother. That's when he learned that Li Yubing had told Li Yubing's mother that they had agreed to go to High School No. 1 together.
Tang Xue looked around in the crowd for a long time but couldn't see Li Yubing and had been very disappointed. Tang Xue's father couldn't bear it and could only tell Tang Xue that Li Yubing's parents were divorced and he had to go with his mother to another district and attend High School No. 1.
Tang Xue suddenly felt that Li Yubing was very pitiful and took out the game console she had snatched from Li Yubing, asking Tang Xue's father to return it to Li Yubing. From then on, Tang Xue often talked about Li Yubing, always saying that she had lost her good friend. Li Yubing apologized immediately after hearing Tang Xue's father's words, saying they had grown up and some feelings were different now, and he liked Tang Xue very much now.
However, Tang Xue's father didn't think Li Yubing was a trustworthy person. Ever since Li Yubing and Tang Xue separated, they had drifted apart, and memories could only be memories. Tang Xue's father didn't listen to Li Yubing's explanation and got up and left. Li Yubing had no choice but to call Liao Zhenyu to complain. He said he knew he should have explained this matter to Tang Xue himself.
As a result, hearing it from Tang Xue's father made him sound like a complete liar. Xia Menghuan wanted to go find Tang Xue. Liao Zhenyu accidentally let slip that Tang Xue was in a bad mood recently, so Xia Menghuan called Tang Xue. When the three of them met, Xia Menghuan learned that Li Yubing had lied to Tang Xue and immediately stood up for her.
Tang Xue was deeply hurt by Li Yubing's words and even thought that Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu hanging out with her was because they were forced to by her threats. Li Yubing stayed downstairs at Tang Xue's house, constantly sending apology messages, but Tang Xue pretended not to see them. Tang Xue's fever had subsided. Tang Xue's father and mother were going out of town to visit a colleague tomorrow and might stay for a few days.
The next day, Tang Xue woke up and saw the meal her parents had prepared. Her high school class president called and asked her to go back to school to see the teacher together. Tang Xue agreed but didn't see the message from Li Yubing asking to meet her. When they arrived at school, classmates suddenly appeared with roses, and someone also gave Tang Xue a letter. It was the letter she had written to Bian Cheng back then.
The classmates formed a heart shape. Bian Cheng appeared holding flowers and confessed to Tang Xue. This place was where Tang Xue had confessed to him. He had missed the opportunity back then, but he always believed that the initial spark of attraction would be etched in the soul. The classmates all shouted for them to get together, but Tang Xue was a little flustered.
Episode 22 Recap
Tang Xue spoke with some difficulty. She wanted to say that she didn't like Bian Cheng anymore, but Bian Cheng said he didn't need any answer from Tang Xue, just needed to stay by her side. What's more, the person in Tang Xue's heart not only lied to her but also played with her. Even if the person by Tang Xue's side wasn't him, it didn't matter. Bian Cheng just didn't want to see Tang Xue sad.
Tang Xue silently stuffed the letter back, indicating that the past was so long ago, it would be better to just let it go. Tang Xue left. Zhou Ran came to comfort Bian Cheng and told him not to be sad. She said she was almost moved by his acting just now. Bian Cheng said he wasn't acting and that every word he said just now was sincere.
The two of them talked about the reason why Zhou Ran disliked Tang Xue. When they were children, their grandmother liked Tang Xue more than she liked Zhou Ran, and valued Tang Xue's short-track speed skating competitions more than her grades. Once in high school, the teacher asked Zhou Ran to participate in a speech contest.
Zhou Ran politely declined a bit, and Tang Xue, being thoughtless, really thought Zhou Ran didn't want to go and proactively offered to participate in the speech contest. Zhou Ran was very angry. Only then did Tang Xue realize Zhou Ran was just being polite. Later, another time, the class president needed someone to participate in a three-kilometer race.
Zhou Ran genuinely refused this time, but Tang Xue thought Zhou Ran was being polite again, so she proactively signed Tang Xue up for the race. As for Bian Cheng, after today's events, he wanted to miss Tang Xue even less. Tang Xue prepared to go home, feeling distraught, when she met Li Yubing who had been waiting for her. Tang Xue asked Li Yubing if she was really that annoying back then.
Li Yubing admitted that he did indeed dislike Tang Xue very much back then, and it was because he kept thinking about these things that he made things difficult for Tang Xue. After thinking carefully, Tang Xue felt that she had indeed gone too far back then, but she still couldn't forget these things, after all, Li Yubing had lied to her. She had never imagined that she would look like that in the eyes of others.
Li Yubing, however, said that Tang Xue was just Tang Xue. When he was a child, he only saw Tang Xue's bossy side, but later at Lin University, he saw all of Tang Xue. Li Yubing hugged Tang Xue into his arms and said he would never lie to Tang Xue again because he didn't want to be separated from her anymore. Soon it would be New Year's.
Xia Menghuan had to go home tomorrow, and Liao Zhenyu was very reluctant. Xia Menghuan was a little worried about Tang Xue, so she wanted to ask her to hang out together to clear her mind. Liao Zhenyu sent Tang Xue a message, and Tang Xue immediately agreed, but she wanted to bring an attendant. So, Li Yubing received a call from Tang Xue, asking to go on a foursome date at Baitasi tomorrow.
Li Yubing mistakenly thought it was a private date, and only when he arrived did he realize it was a foursome date. The group went to Baitasi to play together. Xia Menghuan was determined to throw a coin into the censer, while Tang Xue pulled Li Yubing to play elsewhere. Xia Menghuan's wallet was stolen by a small child. Liao Zhenyu quickly chased after the child, but the child suddenly clutched his chest and fainted.
Liao Zhenyu went forward to check and quickly told Xia Menghuan to call an ambulance. Liao Zhenyu was a medical student and performed CPR on the child. Xia Menghuan looked at him with eyes full of admiration. Tang Xue pulled Li Yubing to worship a Bodhisattva. Li Yubing looked reluctant and told Tang Xue to get up first. Only after being reminded did Tang Xue realize she was worshipping the Goddess of Child Giving.
Li Yubing teased Tang Xue with a smile. The two of them had fun together for the whole day. They called Xia Menghuan to ask her to have dinner together, but Xia Menghuan couldn't make it because she had chased the thief to the hospital and didn't have time to eat. She planned to go directly to the station. The child who stole the wallet had congenital heart disease and a younger brother.
The two children wanted to earn some money to treat their mother's illness, which is why they stole Xia Menghuan's wallet. Tang Xue took Li Yubing home to have hotpot together. Li Yubing was much more relieved when he learned that Tang Xue's father wasn't home. After sending Xia Menghuan off, Liao Zhenyu arrived with some supplements and asked Tang Xue to help give them to Tang Xue's mother.
After enjoying the hotpot, the three of them played cards together, and each of them had different drawings on their faces as punishment. Tang Xue fell asleep in a daze. Liao Zhenyu and Li Yubing cleaned up the trash together. Liao Zhenyu felt a little down thinking about Xia Menghuan saying she liked boys with dreams. Li Yubing wanted to carry Tang Xue, who was sleeping sprawled out, into the room, but found he couldn't really lift her.
He had no choice but to go into Tang Xue's room to get the blanket and took a look at Tang Xue's bedroom while he was at it. Looking at Tang Xue's competition medals, Li Yubing couldn't help but feel regretful that he had missed so much.
Tang Xue also had a box containing things related to Li Yubing, such as capsule toys bought with Li Yubing's allowance, and a toy spider that Li Yubing had given her to scare her back then. After covering Tang Xue with the blanket, Li Yubing kissed her forehead affectionately before returning home. Li Yubing's mother was horrified when she saw the eyeliner still not completely wiped off his face, and the pink dinosaur Tang Xue's he was holding.
She quickly complained to Li Yubing's father, saying she had hoped they would bring a girl home, but now their son had turned into a girl. When Tang Xue's father returned, he saw the beard marks left on Tang Xue's face from playing games the night before. The refrigerator was completely empty. Tang Xue quickly explained that she had invited classmates over for hotpot last night.
Tang Xue's father asked if Bian Cheng was invited, and also warned her not to pursue a relationship with Li Yubing any further. Li Yubing was troubled about how to tell his parents about his relationship. Li Yubing's father and mother secretly listened to him talking on the phone with Liao Zhenyu, which startled Li Yubing. At the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Yubing's father and mother both looked at Li Yubing with worried expressions.
Li Yubing felt uneasy under their gaze. Li Yubing asked them if they remembered Xu Feng, and said he quite liked Xu Feng. Li Yubing's mother clearly misunderstood and almost flared up, but Li Yubing's father quickly smoothed things over. The atmosphere at Tang Xue's family's New Year's Eve dinner was much more lively.
Tang Xue's father and mother asked Tang Xue to sing a song as usual, but Tang Xue thought about how her parents had been fooled by her singing for so many years and decisively refused. Tang Xue's father was very satisfied with Tang Xue studying veterinary medicine. Tang Xue's face immediately dropped, and she could only think of finding an opportunity to come clean to them.
While watching the Spring Festival Gala, Tang Xue picked up her phone and sent a few red envelopes to her friends. Jiang Shijia and Zhang Yuewei had hotpot together for New Year's, and Tie Ge even took a photo of them. Yu Yan, Yu Yan's mother, and Coach Jin were training abroad and were happy to receive the red envelope from Tang Xue. Tang Xue discovered that her dinosaur doll had been kidnapped by Li Yubing, and Li Yubing asked her to come out and meet him.
Episode 23 Recap
Li Yubing's mother remembered something and said that Li Yubing seemed to dislike girls since he was a child. When he was young, his deskmate was Tang Xue. She was smart, pretty, and everyone liked her, but Li Yubing didn't like her and insisted on changing seats. They didn't develop any friendship for six years, and after graduation, Li Yubing even played a trick on Tang Xue.
Li Yubing's father also suddenly remembered that he had never heard of Li Yubing being close to any girl. Li Yubing's mother said she wanted to hold a grandchild, and Li Yubing's father was speechless, saying they should have a second child instead. Li Yubing went out to find a classmate. Li Yubing's mother asked a lot of questions, then pulled Li Yubing's father out to follow Li Yubing. Li Yubing arranged to meet Tang Xue.
After arriving at the agreed location, Tang Xue was already watching the fireworks. He hugged Tang Xue from behind and said this was the first New Year he spent with Tang Xue. Tang Xue pouted and said it wasn't the first, they also spent New Year together when they were children. Li Yubing kissed Tang Xue, considering this their first official kiss. Tang Xue mumbled, and Li Yubing kissed Tang Xue's lips again. The New Year atmosphere was everywhere.
Li Yubing and Tang Xue embraced and kissed under the fireworks, which was extremely romantic. Li Yubing's father and mother, who were following Li Yubing, were thrilled to see this scene. However, they were discovered by Li Yubing and Tang Xue, who then greeted Li Yubing's parents awkwardly. Li Yubing's father and mother both liked Tang Xue very much, wishing they could have her live at their home immediately. Tang Xue quickly found an excuse and left.
Li Yubing's mother and father were relieved to see that Li Yubing's sexual orientation was fine. Li Yubing was speechless upon learning he had been misunderstood regarding his sexual orientation and quickly explained the eyeliner on his face and his relationship with Xu Feng. Li Yubing's father and mother instructed Li Yubing to get along well with Tang Xue and gave their full support. Tang Xue was relieved when she returned home and found her parents already asleep.
However, when she entered her room, she found Tang Xue's mother in her room. Tang Xue's mother told Tang Xue that she already knew she had started practicing short-track speed skating again. She had been wanting to find time to talk to her properly these past few days. She was very worried about Tang Xue, as the accident a few years ago was too heartbreaking.
But Tang Xue told Tang Xue's mother that she had already completed the transfer procedures and would start practicing short-track speed skating again from next semester. The veterinary department was good, but she didn't like it. Tang Xue liked skating. Skating brought her something that other things couldn't. Seeing Tang Xue's insistence, Tang Xue's mother had no choice but to let her do as she wished.
Whichever path one takes in life is difficult, so it's better to choose one you like. Tang Xue's mother was also proud of Tang Xue. It was rare that she knew what she wanted; many people didn't know what they wanted and drifted aimlessly. Tang Xue's mother encouraged Tang Xue to persevere. As long as she persevered, she would definitely reach the place she wanted to go.
Although she was also afraid that Tang Xue would get injured again, this was Tang Xue's life, and she should be in charge of it. Tang Xue promised Tang Xue's mother that she would tell her parents about whatever happened in the future. As for Tang Xue's father, who was stubborn, the two decided to gradually reveal it.
Manager Ma saw the identical moments posted by Tang Xue and Li Yubing showing fireworks and quickly called Li Yubing to ask if he was in a relationship. After all, Li Yubing was a star player for the Snow Dragons, and Manager Ma had negotiated many endorsements for him. Manager Ma instructed Li Yubing not to cause any scandals. What Manager Ma said went in one ear and out the other for Li Yubing.
Tang Xue told Li Yubing that Tang Xue's mother knew about her transfer and was quite supportive. It was time to go back to school soon. Tang Xue wiped her skates repeatedly and put them in her suitcase. Seeing Tang Xue's father enter, she quickly zipped it up. Tang Xue almost let it slip, and Tang Xue's mother suddenly stiffened. Li Yubing was also packing his things. He planned to go to the station by himself tomorrow.
Tang Xue called to complain about almost letting slip the training incident just now and also arranged to confess to Tang Xue's father with Li Yubing at the station tomorrow. However, the next day, Li Yubing chickened out when he saw Tang Xue's father and couldn't speak properly. Tang Xue's father thought that Li Yubing and Tang Xue must have arranged to go together.
He also issued a ban, saying that she could have a boyfriend, but he must not be Li Yubing because Li Yubing also plays ice hockey, which is very dangerous, and if he gets injured, Tang Xue would be dragged down. Li Yubing bought some water and came over. Tang Xue's mother quickly took it from his hand. Tang Xue's father's attitude was very unfriendly. After getting on the bus, Tang Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing she didn't mention this just now, otherwise Tang Xue's father would definitely jump onto the bus and send Tang Xue back to the veterinary department. Li Yubing found it very strange why Tang Xue's father was so nice to Bian Cheng but acted strangely towards him. After returning to school, Tang Xue, Ye Liuying, and Xia Menghuan cleaned the dorm.
Tang Xue received a text message from Coach Chu Xia and quickly went to report to the sports institute. Tang Xue saw Li Yubing at the entrance of the sports institute and quickly dragged him to a less crowded area. She warned him that he couldn't tell anyone about their relationship before she won the competition. After all, Coach Chu Xia didn't allow dating, and she had no way out.
If she couldn't win the competition, how would she explain it to Tang Xue's father? Li Yubing had no choice but to quietly follow behind Tang Xue and enter the sports institute. After a winter break, the performance of the short-track speed skating team declined significantly, except for Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue, whose performances increased instead of decreasing.
Coach Chu Xia told everyone that the sports institute was going on a trip and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety. On the bus for the outing, Tang Xue sat next to Coach Chu Xia, while Li Yubing and Coach Xu sat together.
Li Yubing sent Tang Xue a message saying he wanted to sit with her, but since both coaches were there, Li Yubing told Tang Xue he had a way to make the coaches voluntarily let them sit together. Li Yubing put down his phone and hinted to Coach Xu that Coach Chu Xia was asleep and what she needed most at this moment was a warm shoulder.
Coach Xu said he would do it immediately, walked over to Tang Xue, wanting to switch seats. Tang Xue hesitated for a moment, then decisively sat next to Li Yubing. The two exchanged glances and secretly held hands. After arriving at the destination, everyone was excited. Coach Chu Xia and Coach Xu told them to put down their luggage and warm up. Coach Chu Xia specifically thanked Coach Xu for what happened on the bus earlier.
Everyone played a charades game together. Zhang Yuewei and Li Yubing had great chemistry, while Jiang Shijia and Tang Xue guessed for a long time and couldn't get even one right. The coaches told them to set up tents according to the allocated list. After getting up, Li Yubing went to find Tang Xue. Tang Xue ignored him, and Li Yubing immediately realized she was jealous.
While Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were setting up the tent together, Zhang Yuewei saw the snowflake necklace visible on Tang Xue's neck. It was the one Li Yubing bought back then. Zhang Yuewei was suddenly lost in thought, and the hammer in her hand accidentally slipped, injuring her foot. Everyone crowded around. Jiang Shijia also saw the necklace on Tang Xue's neck and left unhappily. Li Yubing came to see Zhang Yuewei and brought her medicine.
Zhang Yuewei knew better than anyone that a foot ache couldn't compare to a heartache. Jiang Shijia came closer to comfort Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei pretended to be strong. Late at night, everyone gathered around to listen to Deng Jianguo tell ghost stories. Li Yubing quietly pulled Tang Xue aside. Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia, who were always distracted, naturally saw this scene. Li Yubing quickly explained that he was just too happy while playing the game earlier. Tang Xue said she wasn't jealous. Jiang Shijia came back to his senses and found that Zhang Yuewei was gone, so he quickly asked everyone to search for her together.
Episode 24 Recap
Tang Xue was very curious why the relationship between Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia was so good. Li Yubing said they had something in common: they both had no sense of direction. During their team building activity in their freshman year, all three of them got lost. Only Jiang Shijia had a loaf of bread with him, and the three of them offered it to each other. From then on, they became like brothers.
Li Yubing suddenly asked Tang Xue why she liked him. Tang Xue quietly said she was blind, but she wasn't willing to be cured. As they were getting intimate, Jiang Shijia suddenly came to find Li Yubing and told them that Zhang Yuewei was missing. Several people immediately split up to search for her. Zhang Yuewei hid alone, thinking about Li Yubing's strange actions towards Tang Xue and couldn't help but want to cry.
It turned out the person Li Yubing liked was Tang Xue. Li Yubing was relieved after finding Zhang Yuewei. He wanted to carry her back, but Zhang Yuewei subconsciously shook him off. Jiang Shijia also chased after them. Li Yubing told him to go back and report their safety to the coaches, and he would carry Zhang Yuewei back. Upon returning to the camp, Zhang Yuewei quickly apologized to everyone.
Li Yubing instinctively avoided Manager Ma when he saw him and ignored his questions about whether he was dating. Li Yubing's phone rang. The caller ID showed 'Little Sugar Lump'. The teammates teased him after seeing it. Li Yubing quickly explained it was a cake seller and changed Tang Xue's contact name to 10086. Jiang Shijia waited for Zhang Yuewei at the girls' dormitory to take her for a follow-up examination.
Only after Zhang Yuewei bounced twice and said she was truly fine did he feel relieved. Jiang Shijia silently walked beside Zhang Yuewei, feeling happy just like that. Jiang Shijia asked Zhang Yuewei if she liked Li Yubing. Zhang Yuewei immediately stopped. Jiang Shijia advised Zhang Yuewei to tell Li Yubing, but Zhang Yuewei said he already had someone he liked. Some things couldn't be pursued, and she didn't want to lose even their friendship. Jiang Shijia was stunned.
If he said he liked Zhang Yuewei, would he also lose their friendship? The school newspaper wanted to interview Yu Yan. Zhou Ran proactively offered to find a way to persuade him to accept the interview. Zhou Ran added Yu Yan on WeChat under the name of Tang Xue's cousin, hoping he would help with an interview.
Manager Ma told Coach Xu and Coach Chu Xia that some equipment was missing from the equipment room, so they decided to form a patrol team. Li Yubing called Tang Xue and arranged to meet her in the equipment room where there were few people. In today's test, Tang Xue's speed had improved again, closely trailing Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei paused when she heard Tang Xue's name.
Tang Xue sneakily went to the equipment room for a private meeting with Li Yubing. At the same time, Manager Ma, Coach Chu Xia, and Coach Xu also brought people to patrol the equipment room. Just as Li Yubing and Tang Xue were deep in their feelings, sweet and intimate, they heard Manager Ma's movements and panicked completely. Tang Xue quickly jumped out the window to escape. Li Yubing realized he couldn't escape in time and decided to stay.
Manager Ma, Coach Chu Xia, and Coach Xu were surprised to find that the person in the equipment room was Li Yubing. Li Yubing also stiffened and explained that he was here to do extra training. The others clearly didn't believe what Li Yubing said and pressed him on why he was really there, and if he was responsible for the missing equipment from the equipment room.
While Li Yubing was speechless, Zhang Yuewei suddenly appeared and claimed that Li Yubing was here waiting for her. However, why they were meeting there late at night stumped Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei came up with a reason, saying they were there to settle things. She had asked Li Yubing to come here to tell him that she didn't like him. Li Yubing was bewildered by Zhang Yuewei's words and awkwardly admitted it.
At the same time, they also discovered that nothing was missing from the equipment room. After everyone left, Li Yubing quickly thanked Zhang Yuewei. However, Zhang Yuewei knew she had lied just now; she liked Li Yubing. Li Yubing told Tang Xue that Zhang Yuewei had saved him just now. Tang Xue felt that Zhang Yuewei's gaze towards her had been strange lately and suspected she might have noticed something.
Li Yubing thought it was impossible; only Liao Zhenyu should know they were dating. Xia Menghuan, who had come to find Tang Xue, heard this and was furious. Liao Zhenyu knew, but she didn't! Tang Xue tearfully begged Xia Menghuan for forgiveness. Xia Menghuan was still very angry because of Tang Xue's concealment. Ye Liuying even brought out a washboard; she was also one of the people kept in the dark.
After much pleading, Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying finally forgave Tang Xue, but Xia Menghuan would definitely not forgive Liao Zhenyu. Liao Zhenyu silently sneezed behind the scenes. Then he received a message from Tang Xue saying Xia Menghuan knew about her dating, and that Liao Zhenyu was also one of the concealers and absolutely could not be tolerated. Liao Zhenyu kept sending Xia Menghuan messages begging for forgiveness. Xia Menghuan was so annoyed she almost threw her phone.
Ye Liuying told Xia Menghuan that a weasel had just rushed into the stray animal home. Hearing this, Xia Menghuan picked up a broom and rushed to the animal home. Ye Liuying took out her phone and told Liao Zhenyu the news that Xia Menghuan had gone over, and Liao Zhenyu gave her a book as a bribe. Xia Menghuan rushed to the stray animal home but didn't see the weasel. Liao Zhenyu quickly acted cute and begged for forgiveness.
Only then did Xia Menghuan's expression soften. Manager Ma found Li Yubing and persuaded him to update his Weibo. Li Yubing agreed to update it today. Tang Xue bought a pink grip tape for her hockey stick. In Xia Menghuan's words, using it like that was equivalent to telling everyone she had a girlfriend. Everyone gathered around to watch Yu Yan's interview. Yu Yan specifically thanked Tang Xue, which was clearly a public confession.
Li Yubing's smile froze when he saw it. The short-track speed skating team and others were also discussing this. Tang Xue quickly stepped forward to dispel the rumors. Li Yubing angrily picked up his phone and posted a Weibo, declaring that Tang Xue was his girlfriend! Then he went to take a shower. But Li Yubing didn't notice that he had forgotten to switch accounts; the account he used to post was his real identity.
As soon as Li Yubing came out of the bathroom, everyone gossiped and surrounded him. Li Yubing opened his phone, saw the flood of Weibo comments, and quickly deleted the post. Soon, Li Yubing received a call from Coach Xu asking him to come to Manager Ma's place. Tang Xue was also called over. Li Yubing explained that his hand slipped. Tang Xue silently rolled her eyes. Manager Ma, Coach Chu Xia, and Coach Xu held a three-way interrogation.
Manager Ma was very angry, as Li Yubing's dating rumors flying everywhere were very bad for his image. Coach Xu didn't react as strongly to this matter; instead, he was very happy for them and praised Li Yubing for his good taste. Coach Chu Xia and Coach Xu were on the same front. Although dating could easily affect performance, it clearly hadn't for Li Yubing and Tang Xue.
Li Yubing and Tang Xue guaranteed that they would not let their relationship affect their training and results. Manager Ma rolled his eyes, feeling like he had another ancestor to worry about.
Episode 25 Recap
After Tang Xue and Li Yubing left the club, she suddenly lost confidence. What if she couldn't get a good result in this competition? Li Yubing comforted her, telling her to believe in herself and that she could definitely surpass her own limits. The short-track speed skating team was about to compete. Zhang Yuewei wore a grim, deeply resentful face every day.
Jiang Shijia knew Zhang Yuewei's long face wasn't because of training, but then again, Zhang Yuewei really shouldn't continue like this. The internet was full of things about Li Yubing and Tang Xue. Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying were very worried, but they were much more relieved when they heard that Coach Chu had spoken up for them. Tang Xue's father and mother video called her. They didn't use forums, so they didn't know about Tang Xue and Li Yubing.
Tang Xue's father sent her a lot of reference materials for veterinary medicine. Xia Menghuan quickly jumped in to help. Ye Liuying said that the truth would eventually come out and Tang Xue would have to confess sooner or later. Tang Xue said she didn't intend to hide it from them; she just needed to wait until after she achieved some results before confessing. Zhang Yuewei vented her frustrations by punching alone.
Jiang Shijia suddenly ran up and sang Errenzhuan to cheer her up. Zhang Yuewei felt that as long as Li Yubing was happy, it was fine. She told Jiang Shijia to stop being angry with Li Yubing and Tang Xue; she didn't want their iron triangle to break up. Yu Yan messaged Tang Xue saying the competition would be in a few days, and he had a great chance of winning the championship.
He also asked Tang Xue if she had seen the school interview. Tang Xue said what Yu Yan said was too exaggerated, making it sound like she was something special. Yu Yan quickly replied, "You are very special." Tang Xue was stunned. Yu Yan couldn't really like her, could he? She quickly sent a message saying friends should help each other. Yu Yan replied, "You are more than just a friend." Tang Xue was dumbfounded when she saw this.
Yu Yan was clearly confessing. She wanted to tell him the news that she was with Li Yubing, but she was afraid it would affect his training, so she could only encourage him to train well first. Yu Yan asked his mother if it was true that he could date if he won the championship. His mother nodded. Yu Yan quickly got up and went to train.
Tang Xue, Xia Menghuan, Liao Zhenyu, and Ye Liuying were walking on the road and attracted many gazes. Some envied Tang Xue, others doubted if she could take good care of Li Yubing. Tang Xue was furious. Li Yubing had chased her first, so why did it look like Li Yubing was the one at a disadvantage!
While eating, an auntie saw that Tang Xue was Li Yubing's girlfriend and specifically gave her an extra chicken leg, telling her to take good care of Li Yubing. Tang Xue got even angrier. Xia Menghuan and the others quickly comforted Tang Xue, but Tang Xue just couldn't be happy. Li Yubing sent Tang Xue a message asking to meet. Only then did Tang Xue's mood improve slightly.
Li Yubing came to the ice hockey invitational as a guest for the opening puck drop. Tang Xue sat in the audience and felt a little bit inferior seeing how popular he was. Li Yubing walked Tang Xue back to the dormitory. Passersby pointed and whispered about them. Tang Xue was completely out of sorts. Li Yubing felt a bit strange.
Returning to the dormitory dejectedly, Tang Xue confided in Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying, saying Li Yubing was too dazzling, and she felt no presence next to him. She hoped she could become as excellent as Li Yubing. Ye Liuying seriously told Tang Xue that she could catch up to him as long as she worked hard.
As long as she didn't forget her initial aspirations and shone brightly for her dreams, she would one day be as dazzling as Li Yubing. Tang Xue was encouraged and her mood became much better. The next day, before training, Tang Xue specifically told Li Yubing "Go for it!" . Li Yubing remarked emotionally that his "Little Sugar Lump" was back.
During training, Coach Chu told Tang Xue not to be impatient and that she needed to add two hours of physical training every day to catch up with Zhang Yuewei. Li Yubing asked Jiang Shijia how to confess most romantically. Jiang Shijia told him to use the famous victory kiss pose and shout that he liked her.
Coach Xu came to find Coach Chu, giving her many tickets and saying he wanted to invite the short-track speed skating team to watch their game. As for Tang Xue's ticket, he didn't need to give it to her; Li Yubing had it. Xia Menghuan was busy at the stray animal home. Thinking about what Tang Xue said about couples standing shoulder to shoulder, she felt a bit worried.
Wasn't it bad that Liao Zhenyu spent all day here and didn't have time for his own things? However, Liao Zhenyu didn't feel like he was delaying anything at all. Li Yubing told Tang Xue he learned a new move today. Tang Xue also learned it and said she would demonstrate it for Li Yubing. Li Yubing was overjoyed but then realized Tang Xue was talking about a skating move, while his mind was full of the victory kiss pose.
Tang Xue poked him and asked, "If you don't win, where does the victory kiss come from?" They also agreed to kiss after winning the competition. Li Yubing gave Tang Xue many VIP tickets for the league games. Zhou Ran met with Bian Cheng and asked him if he planned to give up on Tang Xue. Bian Cheng said Tang Xue was his goal and he wouldn't change that.
Lately, he had been negligent because of the Ming University exchange forum issue. He planned to use the fact that Tang Xue was secretly practicing short-track speed skating again from her parents to his advantage. Zhou Ran had promised Tang Xue's mother she wouldn't tell, so Bian Cheng only asked her for a small favor. Li Yubing came out after showering and took many photos of his abs in the mirror.
Seeing this, Jiang Shijia and Deng Jianguo both sighed emotionally, "Love makes people turn into devils." Tang Xue gave the league tickets to Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying. She turned around and received photos of Li Yubing's abs. Tang Xue immediately posted them to her Moments, thinking she couldn't let outsiders see them cheaply. She set the visibility of this post to be only for Li Yubing.
Li Yubing sent a voice message saying those photos were only for Tang Xue to see. After hearing this, Xia Menghuan quickly ran over to watch the fun. Before the competition began, Yu Yan kept encouraging himself that he could definitely do it. But at that moment, he saw the news about Li Yubing and Tang Xue being together. His brain immediately froze. Before he even had time to feel sad, he was pushed onto the field.
Zhang Yuewei didn't stop for a moment after finishing training. Tang Xue was speechless. Was she an iron woman? Tang Xue was determined to do even better than Zhang Yuewei. Canada. Yu Yan hid in the dark room and cried. Today, he performed poorly on the field and fell four times in a row. His mother could only comfort him not to think too much and that they would return home tomorrow.
However, Yu Yan no longer felt enjoyment on the field; he was no longer the Yu Yan he used to be. The journalism department came out to do interviews. Zhou Ran didn't want to interview Tang Xue and used the excuse that there was too much gossip to avoid it. Zhou Ran then ran over to Tang Xue, who was training, and made sarcastic remarks. Tang Xue rolled her eyes and spat water on her.
Li Yubing heard Zhou Ran's words and decided to give Tang Xue an explanation. Before the ice hockey game started, Tang Xue asked Xia Menghuan, Ye Liuying, and Liao Zhenyu to go in first, while she ran off to find Li Yubing. Tang Xue gave the pink tape from her hand to Li Yubing. Li Yubing immediately pulled her into his arms.
Episode 26 Recap
The match began. Lin University was playing against Song Anjie's team. The confrontation between Li Yubing and Song Anjie also became a major highlight of the match. Li Yubing's stick was pink, drawing cheers from the crowd. He walked to the audience seats and pointed in Tang Xue's direction. Tang Xue was stunned. Tang Xue's face also appeared on the big screen. Manager Ma went crazy, thinking, where did the promise of keeping a low profile go!
Li Yubing pointed at the embarrassed Tang Xue, telling her to remember their agreement, and that he would win! Tang Xue was extremely moved. Forgetting her shyness, she jumped up and shouted, You are my champion! The match ended with the Lin University Snapdragon team victorious. Everyone cheered excitedly. After greeting Song Anjie, Li Yubing looked again in Tang Xue's direction. Tang Xue, thrilled, abandoned the audience seats and ran onto the ice.
Li Yubing hugged her and brought her to the center of the rink. All the lights in the arena were focused only on the two of them. Tang Xue was a little shy. Li Yubing, without any shyness, led Tang Xue in the victory kiss pose. The crowd cheered joyfully, letting out waves of envious screams from the single people. Yu Yan was heartbroken seeing the video of Tang Xue and Li Yubing.
He had lost the match, and he had also lost Tang Xue. Everyone ran off to cheer and celebrate the victory all night. Deng Jianguo brought Zhou Ran along, but as soon as she entered, she ran straight to Li Yubing. Deng Jianguo ran into a drunken Ye Liuying. At this moment, Ye Liuying seemed like a different person.
Zhou Ran told Tang Xue two pieces of news: the good news was that Yu Yan was back, and the bad news was that he had lost his match. Tang Xue was suddenly worried. Zhou Ran then proposed doing an exclusive interview with Li Yubing. Li Yubing didn't have time to deal with her and pulled Manager Ma over. Tang Xue was very worried in her heart when she saw the news of Yu Yan's defeat.
Li Yubing came running to spend time with her and was almost caught by Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu. Zhang Yuewei was sitting alone in a corner. Jiang Shijia came to find her for a drink. Ye Liuying sat together with Deng Jianguo and gave him the book she was holding, telling him to study hard and improve every day. Manager Ma kept Zhou Ran occupied so she couldn't get away.
Tang Xue and Li Yubing were still happily singing on the stage, a scene of peace and harmony. Manager Ma was called in by the club owner because of Li Yubing's relationship. The owner was very unhappy about this and told Manager Ma to force Li Yubing and Tang Xue to break up. However, Manager Ma expressed his belief in Li Yubing and Tang Xue, stating that they wouldn't let their relationship affect their performance.
The owner was very angry, saying Li Yubing was just a player for the club. After seeing the owner off, Manager Ma found Coach Jin. Yu Yan had lost very badly this time. Coach Jin said that he would definitely adjust his condition immediately. Yu Yan looked at the discussions about Li Yubing and Tang Xue's relationship on the forums, and his condition on the ice became increasingly poor.
At the same time, he also realized that now all he had left was figure skating. Tang Xue was a little worried hearing the figure skating team members talking about Yu Yan. At this time, Yu Yan was still training on the ice, but his mind was filled with images of Tang Xue and Li Yubing together, unable to shake them off. He even fell several times in a row, as if he was completely lost in thought.
Tang Xue came to comfort Yu Yan and showed him photos of herself falling back then. She said failure wasn't scary; what was scary was not having the courage to stand up again. Yu Yan only saw the necklace on Tang Xue's neck. Tang Xue smiled and said it was a gift from Doggy. Li Yubing refused Jiang Shijia's suggestion to eat together because he had a date with Tang Xue.
Jiang Shijia accidentally discovered he also had a Weibo alt account called Rock Sugar Stewed Pear. Yu Yan and Tang Xue sat together, each lost in their own thoughts. Yu Yan chose to bless Tang Xue. Tang Xue was very grateful, because his blessing was very important to her. When mentioning Li Yubing, Tang Xue's entire face radiated happiness. Yu Yan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Li Yubing immediately became jealous when he saw Tang Xue and Yu Yan together, but he insisted he wasn't jealous. Deng Jianguo came to find Zhou Ran and told her he was losing weight recently, then took the opportunity to confess. Zhou Ran was extremely awkward and refused, saying she had no intention of dating at all. Deng Jianguo was very sad.
He picked up his phone and sent messages to a netizen to confide, but he didn't know the person on the other end was Ye Liuying. Tang Xue's father made breakfast. While eating, he showed Tang Xue's mother the news written by Bian Cheng. As soon as he opened Bian Cheng's Moments, he saw a photo Bian Cheng had posted of Tang Xue on the ice rink.
Tang Xue's father immediately realized that Tang Xue had started practicing short-track speed skating again. Tang Xue's father called Tang Xue, but she was busy training and didn't answer. So Tang Xue's father called Zhou Ran and asked about the photo of Tang Xue in training gear. Zhou Ran pretended to hide it but finally told him that Tang Xue had transferred to the sports academy, and that she and Li Yubing were now a publicly recognized ice-snow couple.
She also hypocritically advised him not to be angry. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ran sent Bian Cheng a message saying the show was about to start. Tang Xue's father downloaded the Lin University app and was very angry when he saw photos of Li Yubing and Tang Xue on it.
Episode 27 Recap
Tang's father was furious when he saw the news about Tang Xue and Li Yubing, and asked Tang's mother if she knew Tang Xue had started practicing short-track speed skating again. Tang's mother hesitated and said she knew. Tang's father was enraged and immediately took Tang's mother to Lin University. Along the way, Tang's father was huffing and puffing. Seeing Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan, he asked them if Tang Xue was inside.
They made many excuses, but Tang's father directly asked them if Tang Xue had transferred departments. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were startled. Tang's father told Liao Zhenyu to take him to the stadium. No matter how Tang's mother tried to persuade him, it was useless. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu also tried to persuade him, but Liao Zhenyu accidentally blurted out that Li Yubing had helped Tang Xue with money, which only made things worse.
Manager Ma was talking business with Li Yubing. Seeing that she couldn't persuade Tang's father, Xia Menghuan quickly called him and told him to rush to the ice rink because something had happened to Tang Xue. Tang Xue was practicing with the short-track speed skating team. Tang's father stormed in furiously and started scolding Tang Xue relentlessly, saying she was willful and reckless, pursuing nothing but a ruffian who played ice hockey, showing no sense of propriety.
Tang Xue tried to explain, but Tang's father's words were still very harsh. Tang Xue suddenly felt very sad. Was she really the kind of person who had no sense of propriety? Others said she couldn't do it, and Tang Xue didn't care, but why did even her father, who had always supported her, think she couldn't? Tang's father wanted to drag Tang Xue back. Coach Chu saw this and quickly stepped forward, hoping they could talk in her office.
Li Yubing rushed over and hugged the weeping Tang Xue, comforting her for a long time. Coach Chu took Tang's father and mother to her office and said that Tang Xue was not a willful child; she knew what she wanted, and she also had great talent in short-track speed skating. Tang's father said he didn't want to stop Tang Xue from chasing her dream, but the scene of her getting injured back then was too unforgettable.
Tang Xue's age was no longer an advantage, and recovering to her original state would be very difficult. Tang Xue and Li Yubing quietly came outside the office. Coach Chu was still comforting Tang Xue's parents. Tang's mother also understood Tang Xue; after all, she had grown up, and they should learn to let go. Besides, Tang's father had always taken Tang Xue to practice short-track speed skating when she was little.
Tang's mother would rather worry than make Tang Xue unhappy. Tang Xue apologized to her parents. She had only been thinking about whether she liked it, without considering their feelings. But her choice of short-track speed skating was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Since she was now standing on the wheel of destiny, she hoped her parents could give her a chance. If she won, it would prove that despite being disadvantaged everywhere, she was born to be an athlete.
If she lost, she would accept her fate. Tang's father thought for a moment and finally agreed. Tang's father and mother sat down and had coffee with Tang Xue and Li Yubing. Tang's mother returned the money Li Yubing had previously lent Tang Xue. Li Yubing said Tang Xue had already repaid a part of it and that it was his own idea to pay for Tang Xue's training expenses before, which reassured her parents.
Tang's father wanted to talk to Li Yubing alone. Tang Xue was extremely worried and was dragged out by Tang's mother. Tang Xue was very worried that Tang's father would say something bad to Li Yubing. Tang's mother teased her that the precious girl she had raised for twenty years was about to be taken away by Doggy, so of course, he had to ask properly.
Tang's father stated that he had always disapproved of Li Yubing and Tang Xue being together, in the past and now, because of Li Yubing's career choice. He would definitely have to participate in professional games in the future, and the risks on the field were very high. He didn't want Tang Xue to experience the fear of losing the most important person for a second time. Li Yubing expressed understanding.
His mother also didn't dare watch his games because she was afraid he would get injured, but she still supported him playing ice hockey because he liked it. Ice hockey was a responsibility that he and his teammates would have to protect for a lifetime. If he gave up ice hockey because he was afraid of getting injured, then he would always just be a child who runs away from problems.
Li Yubing didn't know how far he would go, but he knew that only by constantly working hard could China become a strong ice hockey nation and stand at the top of the world. Tang Xue and Li Yubing saw Tang Xue's parents off. Before leaving, Tang's father said he didn't hope Tang Xue would win the competition, so she could give up. But if she won, then she should practice hard.
After Tang's father relented, Tang Xue also felt much more at ease. Tang's mother said Tang's father saw something strange in Bian Cheng's Moments. Li Yubing thought Bian Cheng did it intentionally when he saw it, saying those photos were not recent. Tang Xue didn't think it was that serious, thinking only Zhou Ran knew she was hiding this from her family.
In fact, even though she had made a pledge, Tang Xue wasn't entirely confident and was also worried that Tang's father would break her and Li Yubing up. Bian Cheng called to apologize, saying he didn't know Tang's father opposed her practicing short-track speed skating. Tang Xue didn't take it to heart. Bian Cheng then feigned grievance and asked to treat Tang Xue to a meal as an apology. Tang Xue thought about it and reluctantly agreed.
Bian Cheng told Zhou Ran that he didn't want to do this either. Zhou Ran had a look of watching a show. Instead, Bian Cheng found that Zhou Ran had been concerned about Tang Xue's situation and didn't seem to care about Li Yubing. Did she really like Li Yubing? Zhou Ran paused.
Bian Cheng then said that he wanted Tang's father to come out and oppose Tang Xue and Li Yubing's relationship, so there was still a lot more to do. After the two left, Deng Jianguo, who was sitting beside them, quietly put down the book covering his face. He returned to his dorm looking dejected and poured out his troubles to a netizen, wondering whether or not to tell this secret.
Ye Liuying told him to listen to his inner voice. Deng Jianguo was troubled for a long time and went to find Li Yubing, telling him why Tang's father suddenly came to Lin University. Hearing that Zhou Ran and Bian Cheng were attacking them from behind, everyone was very angry. Li Yubing would never give them another chance to play tricks.
Bian Cheng was conducting an interview at Ming University when Li Yubing suddenly burst in and wanted to talk to him. The two went outside. Li Yubing told Bian Cheng to stop his tricks and repeated exactly what he and Zhou Ran had discussed. Bian Cheng had to admit it, but he still argued that he was doing it for Tang Xue's own good, saying she was no longer suitable for short-track speed skating.
Bian Cheng also told Li Yubing that he was the one who could give Tang Xue security and happiness. In Tang's father's eyes, he was a promising and safe top student from Ming University's journalism department, while Li Yubing was just an ice hockey player with no future. Bian Cheng didn't realize that his microphone was on, and everyone from the journalism department heard these words. Just as Li Yubing was about to hit someone, Tang Xue rushed in.
She hadn't expected Bian Cheng to be this kind of person. Even without Li Yubing, she wouldn't be with Bian Cheng; she wouldn't dare! When Bian Cheng returned, he was notified that someone else would host the interview today because, as a journalist, the most important thing was to have an upright heart, but his conversation with Li Yubing just now showed them that he was a despicable scoundrel.
Bian Cheng told Tang Xue that Li Yubing had ruined his interview, but he would definitely find a way to take back everything he lost. At the same time, he also discovered that Zhou Ran didn't like Li Yubing; she was just jealous of Tang Xue. Zhou Ran asked Bian Cheng in return, did he really like Tang Xue? Tang Xue was just Bian Cheng's target; this wasn't real love at all.
Episode 28 Recap
Bian Cheng was furious about everything that had happened today, but he believed there was no goal he couldn't achieve. Tang Xue found Zhou Ran. She asked herself if she had ever done anything to hurt Zhou Ran, so why was she doing this? Zhou Ran, however, said being Tang Xue's cousin was the unluckiest thing in her life because since childhood, her family only paid attention to Tang Xue, and no one ever cared if she won an award.
She always felt she lived in Tang Xue's shadow. Tang Xue was stunned; she never felt she had taken anything from anyone else. Tang Xue hadn't realized this was the reason Zhou Ran had always disliked her. Li Yubing said Deng Jianguo had performed a great service. Deng Jianguo sighed, saying it was all thanks to his soulmate, while Ye Liuying stood silently by his side. Tang Xue chased after Zhou Ran, wanting to explain.
Zhou Ran was rushing to sign up for a competition, which would close in ten minutes. Tang Xue picked up her registration form and registered for her ahead of time, also telling her that since childhood, Zhou Ran had been the model student in the eyes of the parents, and she had also lived quite a bit under Zhou Ran's shadow. Tang Xue proactively called Zhou Ran "Sister", and the two silently reconciled.
The Brave Dragon Ice Hockey Team's biggest opponent in this competition was the Black Scorpion team from the same city. At this moment, they were preparing for the upcoming match. Jiang Shijia and Li Yubing didn't fall on the field any less. After training, Li Yubing couldn't help but think of the things Tang's father had said.
That night, Li Yubing had a nightmare where he kept falling and getting injured on the ice rink, unable to get out, while Tang Xue could only worry about him through thick glass. Li Yubing had never worried about getting injured himself. He also asked Coach Xu if Coach Chu had left him back then because she was afraid he would get injured. Coach Xu comforted Li Yubing, saying worry was the most useless emotion.
Coach Jin formulated a new training plan for Yu Yan. There was still some time before the National Championships, and they all had high hopes for Yu Yan. Yu Yan's emotions were very unstable, and he could only hide alone to vent. Coach Chu also set a new training plan for Tang Xue. She was to train with Zhang Yuewei for mutual assistance. Tang Xue had no problem with this, but Zhang Yuewei was a little dissatisfied.
She didn't have extra energy to coach Tang Xue, and this competition was too important to her. Coach Chu said pairing Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue for training would benefit both of them. Tang Xue was naturally competitive, and her joining the team was a stimulus to everyone, and Zhang Yuewei was the person who needed to be stimulated the most. Zhang Yuewei now had to challenge her own limits.
Zhang Yuewei was Tang Xue's goal, and Tang Xue was her catalyst. Thus, Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei began high-intensity training. Zhang Yuewei said Tang Xue was actually very lucky, at least she had parents who would argue with her. Tang Xue found this a little strange. Zhang Yuewei, Jiang Shijia, and Li Yubing went to their usual spot to eat.
Li Yubing asked some questions about Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue training together and then walked towards the message wall nearby. Zhang Yuewei nervously pulled him back to the seat. Xia Menghuan was going to take an exam and was a little worried about Liao Zhenyu. He spent all day following Xia Menghuan around and didn't seem to care about his own grades. Tang Xue suggested a trick for Xia Menghuan to scare Liao Zhenyu.
Bian Cheng discovered that the Black Scorpion team was a strong rival to the Brave Dragon team and even dug up old news about Li Yubing fighting on the field before. The person he hit was the son of the Black Scorpion team's owner. Xia Menghuan thought for a moment and told Liao Zhenyu what was on her mind. She felt she was holding Liao Zhenyu back too much.
Liao Zhenyu was startled, afraid she was going to break up with him. Xia Menghuan didn't want to break up but just hoped Liao Zhenyu would dedicate some time to his dreams; he had almost failed his classes last semester. Xia Menghuan needed a boyfriend with whom she could achieve dreams together, not a constant follower. She decided they should cool down for a while. Xia Menghuan was very upset about this matter.
Ye Liuying analyzed that Xia Menghuan just loved Liao Zhenyu deeply, and everything would be fine once he understood. Bian Cheng went to interview the owner of the Black Scorpion club and specifically brought up their opponent, Li Yubing. Li Yubing met Yu Yan in the infirmary. Yu Yan's medical report showed some fatigue reactions and stress. Li Yubing comforted him, telling him not to dwell too much on the win or loss of one match.
After Li Yubing left, Yu Yan told the doctor that he had been experiencing tinnitus and wasn't feeling well recently. The doctor suggested he rest for a while before competing. Yu Yan, however, was unwilling to withdraw; this competition was very important to him. The doctor thought about it and decided to add another check-up for Yu Yan. Tang Xue's family sent her a lot of strawberries.
Tang Xue distributed them among Xia Menghuan, Liao Zhenyu, Ye Liuying, and others, and also prepared some for Yu Yan and Li Yubing. Tang Xue gave the strawberries to Yu Yan. They hadn't seen each other much lately due to their busy schedules. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu met at the Stray Animals Home. Liao Zhenyu took out a prepared speech to read to Xia Menghuan.
He had decided to work hard to become a qualified doctor and become Xia Menghuan's true perfect match. He even made a detailed plan, learning from Tang Xue and Li Yubing's way of dating to become a better version of himself in the relationship. Xia Menghuan was very pleased upon seeing this. Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei's training went smoothly. Jiang Shijia bought a lot of muscle tape for Zhang Yuewei and symbolically gave Tang Xue two bags.
Tang Xue naturally saw the dynamic between the two of them. Perhaps this was the romance between athletes. Zhang Yuewei told Tang Xue, "The person you like happens to like you too; that is the most romantic thing in the world." Tang's father's words still lingered in Li Yubing's heart, unable to be dispelled.
Episode 29 Recap
Li Yubing had been a bit distracted lately, and Tang Xue naturally noticed. He asked Tang Xue if she was afraid he would get injured during the competition. Tang Xue smiled and said, "Before, I thought ice hockey was exciting and fun. After we got together, of course I hoped Li Yubing would win, and I was also afraid he would lose, and naturally afraid he would get injured."
Tang Xue kissed Li Yubing's forehead, claiming it was a family heirloom Golden Shield. She said that as long as Li Yubing was striving for his dream, she wouldn't be afraid. Dreams themselves don't shine; what shines are the people chasing their dreams. Li Yubing was encouraged and became lively again. Tang Xue was a bit troubled because her cornering technique hadn't improved. She opened her phone and saw that Wu Dajing had won another championship.
Xia Menghuan suggested Tang Xue ask him for advice, as a world champion has many tricks up his sleeve. So Tang Xue sent a message to Wu Dajing asking for cornering tips. Wu Dajing sent her his training video. After watching it, Tang Xue felt refreshed and improved rapidly. Everyone was stunned. After getting off the ice, they surrounded Tang Xue asking for tips. Tang Xue showed them Wu Dajing's video, and Zhang Yuewei was also pulled over.
- Tang Xue was going to Beijing soon to participate in the championships. Li Yubing had to prepare for the game against the Black Scorpion team recently and couldn't go see her. Tang Xue showed Li Yubing her secret weapon. Li Yubing became jealous of Wu Dajing. Yu Yan happened to pass by and saw this intimate moment between the two of them. Suddenly, he experienced tinnitus, felt even more uncomfortable, and didn't pay attention to what Manager Ma said.
During training, Coach Jin saw that Yu Yan was not in form and couldn't help but feel a bit angry. The club's biggest pressure right now was on the figure skating team, because only Yu Yan was the club's hope for a gold medal. Even if Li Yubing had high popularity, it wouldn't be enough. Yu Yan suddenly roared, "Don't compare me to Li Yubing!"
Coach Jin was stunned by this shout, and Yu Yan even left directly, saying he wouldn't train today. Coach Chu gave the Black Scorpion team's match records to Coach Xu, and then drank the soup he had placed on her desk. The team doctor came to find Coach Jin and gave him a physical examination report for Yu Yan.
His emotions had been unstable lately, and the doctor suggested finding a psychologist to see him, as early detection leads to early treatment. Seeing this, Coach Jin felt uneasy and didn't even have time to bicker with Coach Xu. Zhang Yuewei had an old injury on her leg, and the team doctor told her not to train too hard. - The next day, the short track speed skating team arrived in Beijing to participate in the competition.
After getting familiar with the venue, everyone began to rest and conserve energy. After finishing her tasks, Tang Xue called Li Yubing for a long chat. Tang Xue was confident she could get into the top three, as long as she performed well enough to convince her father. Jiang Shijia and Deng Jianguo teased Li Yubing about valuing romance over friendship. During training, Zhang Yuewei's old injury suddenly recurred. The doctor advised against her continuing the competition.
Zhang Yuewei was very emotional and begged the doctor to give her a pain injection, as this competition was very important to her. Both Coach Chu and the doctor wouldn't let Zhang Yuewei continue the competition, as she was still young and had a long road ahead. Zhang Yuewei knew that this was not just a gold medal; this was her only chance to be selected for the national team. Coach Chu told Zhang Yuewei to think carefully.
If her grandmother were still alive, would she let her be so reckless? After all, she had put in so much effort, and she couldn't let it all go to waste. Coach Chu told Tang Xue and the others that Zhang Yuewei couldn't participate in the competition. Everyone quickly comforted Zhang Yuewei. However, Zhang Yuewei told Tang Xue, "It's up to you tomorrow. The Mingda Xiaolong team must win a gold medal." Coach Chu also held hope for Tang Xue.
Tang Xue nodded solemnly. - The next day, the competition began. After their meeting, Li Yubing and Jiang Shijia quickly ran to the lounge to watch the match. Xia Menghuan, Liao Zhenyu, and Ye Liuying also watched the match with a large pile of snacks. Tang Xue's father and mother were also watching the live broadcast. Her father pretended to be calm, but his hands were trembling so much he couldn't even hold a cup steady.
The competition started, Tang Xue held steady in third place, gradually surpassed others to take second, and in the final moment of the race, Tang Xue won the championship with a quarter-blade advantage, securing the gold medal! The moment the results were announced, the venue instantly erupted. Li Yubing, Xia Menghuan, and the others in front of the screen were all exhilarated. Tang Xue's father and mother couldn't contain their pride.
Jiang Shijia looked at his phone with Zhang Yuewei's number, feeling a little sad. Yu Yan was very happy for Tang Xue when he saw her win the championship, but he felt sad thinking that Tang Xue had become a champion while he didn't have the qualifications to stand alongside her. Yu Yan's mother rushed to find him, very anxious because he hadn't gone to training.
Yu Yan suddenly understood that he was indeed not outstanding enough and needed to work harder. - Tang Xue won the 500-meter gold medal, and Li Hongshuang also won the 1000-meter bronze medal. The short track speed skating team was very happy. Everyone gathered around Tang Xue's gold medal, greatly inspired. Zhang Yuewei also told Tang Xue that she performed excellently today and sincerely admired her. Tang Xue video-called her mother.
Her father stood aside and only came over after Tang Xue called him. In fact, Tang Xue's father genuinely only wanted Tang Xue to live a safe and peaceful life in the past. However, he gradually understood that if he stopped Tang Xue from pursuing her dreams just for safety, then no one would be happy. Tang Xue held the gold medal in her hand and showed off to her parents, feeling increasingly proud.
- The next day, the short track speed skating team returned to school. Li Yubing and Jiang Shijia both came to pick them up. Coach Xu specially brought a bouquet of flowers from the school flowerbed to congratulate Coach Chu. Coach Jin ran over wanting to hug Coach Chu but was intercepted by Coach Xu. The atmosphere between the three of them was still strange. Meanwhile, Coach Chu needed to talk to Manager Ma about Zhang Yuewei.
Zhang Yuewei went to Tie Ge's place and zoned out. She wrote a sticky note and put it on the wall, wondering if her grandmother was very disappointed. Jiang Shijia came to find Zhang Yuewei. Zhang Yuewei was feeling a bit down. This competition was the best opportunity to get onto the national team roster, but she had just missed it. She didn't know if she would have another chance in the future.
Jiang Shijia comforted Zhang Yuewei, saying that as long as her heart was still in short track speed skating, nothing could stop her. Li Yubing took Tang Xue to a mysterious forest he had prepared. It was hung with colorful lights, warm and romantic. Li Yubing told Tang Xue that he had been preparing for a long time, ever since the day he fell in love with her.
Tang Xue gave the gold medal she won to Li Yubing as a return gift. She could skate now, and she had Li Yubing by her side. She felt like she had almost the entire world, so what was giving him a gold medal? At this moment, Li Yubing and Tang Xue only had each other in their eyes. They hugged each other tightly.
Episode 30 Recap
Li Yubing grinned foolishly at the gold medal Tang Xue had given him. Deng Jianguo, this single guy, was furious and decisively arranged to meet a netizen. Upon receiving the news, Ye Liuying suddenly stood up and bumped her head, feeling dizzy, afraid she would be exposed (in a bad way), while Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan watched the fun from the side.
The next day, in the library, Ye Liuying specifically changed her clothes and put on lipstick, quietly waiting for her Prince Charming. Deng Jianguo made a flamboyant entrance as usual, not only getting a new haircut but also wearing a suit. The two took out identical books and exchanged a secret code, but unexpectedly, when they turned around, they found it was each other. Deng Jianguo and Ye Liuying both broke down.
Ye Liuying hugged her books and ran away stumbling. Xia Menghuan asked Ye Liuying how her date went, but Ye Liuying screamed, deleted the other person's contact, and wouldn't let Xia Menghuan mention that person again. - Coach Chu told Tang Xue she had received the notification of being selected for the national team roster. Tang Xue was overjoyed. Zhang Yuewei quietly left, feeling a bit lost, but then found her bracelet had fallen to the ground.
The excited Tang Xue accidentally skated past, and the bracelet was instantly split into two halves by her skate blade. Zhang Yuewei pushed Tang Xue away like she was crazy and left. Tang Xue mumbled that she didn't do it on purpose. Coach Chu told her that it was a memento from Zhang Yuewei's grandmother. Zhang Yuewei looked at the bracelet and cried. The reason she started short track speed skating was because her grandmother took her there.
Before she passed away, her grandmother used her last bit of strength to place the bracelet in Zhang Yuewei's hand. Tang Xue came to Zhang Yuewei with an apology, carefully apologizing to her. For Zhang Yuewei, this bracelet was more like a keepsake; her grandmother also had only one expectation for her, which was for her to enter the national team and bring glory to the country. But it seemed she had messed everything up.
She felt as if her grandmother was saying she was very disappointed in her. Zhang Yuewei threw the bracelet down and left. Tang Xue held the two halves of the broken bracelet tightly in her hand, feeling helpless. - Late at night, Tang Xue's mind was full of Zhang Yuewei's words. After thinking for a while, she suddenly ran out of bed, took out red thread, and sewed the bracelet back together.
The next day, Tang Xue specifically waited for Zhang Yuewei outside the stadium. She understood Zhang Yuewei very well because her own grandmother was also very good to her when she was little. She gave Zhang Yuewei her grandmother's words, hoping she could get back on her feet. Tang Xue gave the repaired bracelet to Zhang Yuewei. She had Coach Chu, Jiang Shijia, and her teammates, and also Li Yubing, and if she didn't mind, she could have her too.
Zhang Yuewei smiled and suggested they continue paired training. Jiang Shijia was sharpening Zhang Yuewei's skates. Seeing this, Li Yubing asked him if he liked Zhang Yuewei. Jiang Shijia readily admitted it, but then explained that they were the "iron triangle" after all. Zhang Yuewei invited Jiang Shijia and Li Yubing to have lunch at their usual spot and brought Tang Xue along. Seeing how their relationship had progressed rapidly, Jiang Shijia and Li Yubing were both stunned.
- Bian Cheng saw the photo of Tang Xue holding the gold medal and quietly called Tang Xue's father to congratulate him, also saying he had an article he wanted to jointly apply for an award with Tang Xue's father. Bian Cheng arranged to meet Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran actually didn't want to meet him and didn't want to help him anymore. What Bian Cheng was doing was actually futile.
Even if Tang Xue's father liked him a lot, Tang Xue wouldn't leave Li Yubing, and even if Tang Xue left Li Yubing, she wouldn't fall for Bian Cheng. Bian Cheng was a bit exasperated. Zhou Ran advised him to let go, saying maybe the current her was the real Zhou Ran. While Tang Xue was queuing for food, she was ridiculed by the person behind her because the tag on her clothes was showing outside.
When Zhou Ran saw this, she stepped forward to stand up for Tang Xue, saying the other person's bag was a fake. Tang Xue was a bit unaccustomed to seeing Zhou Ran suddenly being so righteous. Li Yubing arrived, and Zhou Ran tactfully left. Liao Zhenyu was extremely shocked to discover that Tang Xue and Zhou Ran had made up. - While Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue were training, the team doctor asked her to come to the infirmary.
Everyone immediately worried if her injury had worsened. Fortunately, Zhang Yuewei's injury was recovering well. Coach Chu told her that she had also been selected for the national team roster and could participate in concentrated training with Tang Xue after some time. Zhang Yuewei looked at the roster in her hand, trembling. Coach Chu had gone to the sports bureau several times for Zhang Yuewei's spot on the roster.
The short track speed skating team suddenly had two candidates for the national roster. The ice hockey team was also training well. Only the figure skating team was left, but Yu Yan's recent condition was not optimistic. Jiang Shijia's mood hasn't been very good lately either. He stayed up late watching his computer, sending out many resumes to clubs, but no one wanted him. He was graduating soon, and he might not be able to play after this season.
The Snapdragon professional team selection was very strict, and if he were qualified, Manager Ma wouldn't have been so quiet. Li Yubing went to see Manager Ma the next day, but Manager Ma said that only Li Yubing from the entire Lind University team could enter professional games; Jiang Shijia didn't have that ability. Li Yubing persisted for a long time before Manager Ma agreed to talk to the chairman tomorrow.
As he was leaving, Li Yubing encountered a dispirited Liao Zhenyu. The Snapdragon team was recruiting medical volunteers, but Liao Zhenyu was rejected. Although he was capable, he was a freshman, and the team doctor was afraid he wouldn't have time. Li Yubing then went back into Manager Ma's office, and Manager Ma had no choice but to accept Liao Zhenyu. - Jiang Shijia was still upset about the professional team.
He was different from Li Yubing; he started playing ice hockey halfway through, and his talent wasn't high, but he genuinely loved playing ice hockey. If he couldn't play anymore, he would feel quite like a failure. Not being recognized by others meant failure. Zhang Yuewei advised Jiang Shijia that being a professional player wasn't the only path. As long as you've worked hard and strived, you are a winner for yourself. Bian Cheng's news topic won an award.
Boss Zhen of the Snapdragon team came to him to get information on Li Yubing. After they met, Boss Zhen gave him two match tickets. As Bian Cheng was leaving, he realized he had left something in Boss Zhen's office and went back to get it, only to see Boss Zhen seeing off a burly man. Tang Xue trained even harder.
After all, she had intensive training coming up, and only by not being eliminated could she truly enter the national team. Liao Zhenyu's schoolwork was heavy, and he also participated in volunteer work, so he was busy all day and hadn't seen Xia Menghuan for a long time. Ye Liuying said sourly, pointing at Tang Xue and Xia Menghuan, that they would soon face the test of love.
Tang Xue told Li Yubing that her father was coming to see her and would also chat with Li Yubing. Li Yubing got nervous. Tang Xue said that her father was probably coming this time to give Li Yubing official recognition. However, Tang Xue's upcoming training was closed-off, which meant they wouldn't see each other for several months. Li Yubing hugged her and said, "If you don't change, I won't change."
Episode 31 Recap
Xia Menghuan came to find Liao Zhenyu to help her review for the animal management exam. Actually, she didn't want to disturb him, but there were too many professional English words to memorize, and she couldn't manage it alone, so she wanted Liao Zhenyu to help her check them. The two came to the library to memorize words together. Liao Zhenyu clowned around to ease Xia Menghuan's nervous mood.
Xia Menghuan took some time to make a lucky note for Liao Zhenyu. Liao Zhenyu noticed her hand was a bit red and quickly showed concern. Xia Menghuan said it was lipstick, which rubbed off on her when she was doing Ye Liuying's makeup because Ye Liuying was going to meet a new netizen. Deng Jianguo and Ye Liuying both arranged to meet new netizens, but found they couldn't connect with the other person at all.
Li Yubing returned to the dormitory. Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia were gathered around watching a news report that said ice hockey was neglected and called on everyone to pay attention to it. After careful comparison, Li Yubing found that the photo in the news was photoshopped. Li Yubing decisively reported the article under his real name.
Bian Cheng told Zhou Ran that he knew something about Li Yubing, but Zhou Ran was no longer interested and advised Bian Cheng not to do those pointless things either. Bian Cheng ignored her. He turned on a voice recorder, which contained a recording of Boss Zhen talking to someone. Boss Zhen wanted Li Yubing not to be present on the day of the match. Tang Xue's father and mother came to Lind University to see Tang Xue.
Li Yubing's parents were very nervous upon learning that Tang Xue's father wanted to see him and gave him many instructions. Tang Xue and her mother also told Tang Xue's father to be a little nicer to Li Yubing. Li Yubing came to the coffee shop to meet Tang Xue and her family. Tang Xue's mother kept smiling, but Tang Xue's father said that ice hockey was very difficult because almost no one watched it.
Li Yubing quickly explained that although ice hockey was not popular, it wasn't completely neglected. He also told him about the news article he had seen yesterday. Tang Xue's father wanted to say that the article was from their publishing house, but then he received a phone call saying that their newspaper would also be punished because Bian Cheng's news report was fake and someone had reported it under their real name, and the reporter's name was Li Yubing.
Li Yubing was very awkward, and Tang Xue's father quickly got up and left, leaving Tang Xue looking bewildered. Tang Xue was very upset because of this little incident. If it hadn't been for this matter, Li Yubing and Tang Xue's father could have reconciled today. However, Li Yubing did not regret reporting Bian Cheng because what he did was not wrong. After Bian Cheng learned that he had been reported by Li Yubing, he smashed everything in a room.
Tang Xue's father also finished dealing with the newspaper's affairs and not only received a public notice and check but also had his salary suspended. Tang Xue's father requested the three-month salary suspension himself, after all, it was his mistake. However, he couldn't contact Bian Cheng now. He planned to talk to Bian Cheng face-to-face when he had time because Bian Cheng was still quite talented, just a bit too clever.
Tang Xue's mother told Tang Xue's father that Tang Xue was upset with Li Yubing because of this incident. She felt that Li Yubing had harmed him. Tang Xue's father immediately decided to make a trip to Lin City. Bian Cheng woke up on the sofa, looked at the trophy he had smashed, and thought of what Tang Xue's father had said. Tang Xue's father brought dumplings for Tang Xue.
As soon as Tang Xue saw him, she quickly apologized on behalf of Li Yubing. But Tang Xue's father asked Tang Xue in return, "Did Li Yubing really do something wrong?" Tang Xue shook her head. Tang Xue's father said, "Li Yubing didn't do anything wrong. This matter was ultimately caused by my mistake. Before this, I had some issues with Li Yubing, but after this incident, I actually look at him in a new light."
Tang Xue immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but when Li Yubing arrived, she still put on a stern face and lectured him. However, Li Yubing still insisted meticulously that he was not wrong because things that are done incorrectly should be pointed out. Tang Xue's father slapped the table, startling Li Yubing into silence. But then Tang Xue's father agreed with Li Yubing's idea.
Tang Xue's father and Tang Xue both laughed, and Li Yubing also felt relieved. Tang Xue's father's visit this time was also to apologize to Tang Xue and Li Yubing. He shouldn't have used the excuse of being good for them to hinder them from doing what they wanted to do. Fortunately, they were persistent enough. Tang Xue's father quickly handed the dumplings to Li Yubing and told them to eat together. Zhou Ran came to find Bian Cheng.
Tang Xue and her father were both looking for him, but he was hiding here venting his frustration. Bian Cheng told Zhou Ran that Tang Xue was the most important person to him. Zhou Ran tried to persuade him to let go of all this. Bian Cheng was clearly a very excellent person, but now he had fallen to this state. However, Bian Cheng was terrifyingly paranoid. He firmly believed that Tang Xue would definitely be with him.
Zhou Ran told Bian Cheng that Tang Xue's father didn't blame him, and young people make mistakes. But Bian Cheng didn't take these words to heart and even silently thought to himself that all of this was because of Li Yubing, and he wanted Li Yubing to taste this feeling too. Manager Ma told Jiang Shijia that he had spoken to the chairman about the previous matter, but the chairman didn't agree.
Jiang Shijia found it strange upon hearing this and immediately realized that Li Yubing must have gone to Manager Ma to plead for him. In the lounge. Jiang Shijia asked Li Yubing if he had gone to Manager Ma to plead. Seeing this, Li Yubing had to admit it. However, Jiang Shijia's self-esteem was greatly hurt by this. Li Yubing doing this would only make him more embarrassed. If it depended on connections, he would rather leave Snapdragon now!
Jiang Shijia ignored Li Yubing all day today. Seeing this, Zhang Yuewei asked about the situation, and Li Yubing explained everything in detail. After listening, Zhang Yuewei felt it was no wonder Jiang Shijia was angry. Li Yubing kept pushing for Snapdragon to sign Jiang Shijia, but his ability wasn't sufficient, so the coach wouldn't let him play.
Furthermore, it was true that Jiang Shijia loved ice hockey, but liking ice hockey didn't necessarily mean he had to play on the field. Li Yubing knew that Jiang Shijia wanted to play, and Zhang Yuewei understood that too, but as his friend, helping him figure things out was more important than paving the way for him. Hearing this, Li Yubing nodded.
In the dormitory, Jiang Shijia and Li Yubing could clearly hear each other but insisted on having Deng Jianguo relay messages. Neither of them yielded a word, and suddenly both stood up and glared intently at each other. Li Yubing pointed at Jiang Shijia helplessly and said, "However you want to walk your future path, I will support you no matter how you walk it." Hearing this, Jiang Shijia was stunned for a moment, and the two quickly reconciled.
The next day, Tang Xue was very surprised to learn about the conflict between them from Zhang Yuewei and teased them about being two grown men being so awkward. Today was the day Liao Zhenyu joined the team. Tang Xue was complaining that he didn't know to come earlier when Li Yubing reminded her that today was also the day Xia Menghuan went to take her exam.
Liao Zhenyu reluctantly sent Xia Menghuan off in the car to take the animal association exam. This exam would last for two days, which felt particularly long for Liao Zhenyu. Afterward, Liao Zhenyu reported to the Snapdragon Club. The team doctor said that because his performance was good, he would be a traveling doctor and would accompany the team to competitions in the future. Liao Zhenyu was both nervous and happy.
Deng Jianguo happened to meet Zhou Ran and wanted to pretend he didn't see her and walk past, but Zhou Ran called out to him. Zhou Ran apologized for using Deng Jianguo in the past. Deng Jianguo shook her hand in a daze, but he didn't feel his heart race. This was his long-admired goddess! When taking the exam, Xia Menghuan often thought of the scenes of memorizing words with Liao Zhenyu, and her writing became much smoother.
Liao Zhenyu spent every day in the library, and whenever he dozed off, he would look at the bookmark Xia Menghuan made, which immediately lifted his spirits. Yu Yan was covered in nightmares every day. When he woke up from a nightmare again, he even experienced symptoms of tinnitus. Li Yubing, Tang Xue, and Coach Jin's words constantly echoed in his ears. The next day, Yu Yan's training was still not up to par.
Coach Jin told him to rest for a while, but Yu Yan stubbornly returned to the ice. Coach Jin was afraid that something would happen to Yu Yan, so he had to find Yu Yan's mother and hope to suspend Yu Yan's training because he was too tired now.
Episode 32 Recap
Yu Yan's mother hoped Coach Jin would be stricter with Yu Yan. Coach Jin had no choice but to show Yu Yan's medical report to her. Seeing this, Yu Yan's mother was very angry. Yu Yan was still practicing at home late at night. Yu Yan's mother couldn't persuade him, so she could only have her work and meetings cancelled and prepare to focus on taking care of Yu Yan. However, Yu Yan suddenly fell ill again, feeling completely dizzy.
Liao Zhenyu came to pick up Xia Menghuan. Xia Menghuan passed the assessment, and Liao Zhenyu also became a team doctor. Together, they took a step towards their dreams. Everyone gathered to celebrate. Deng Jianguo occasionally glanced at Ye Liuying in the corner. Tang Xue pointed at Zhang Yuewei, Jiang Shijia, Deng Jianguo, and Ye Liuying, calling them four single dogs, and even joked that they should find partners among themselves. Tang Xue felt a bit unsettled.
They were all happy every day, but Yu Yan was all alone. She wanted to go see Yu Yan. Hearing this, Li Yubing's jealousy flared up again. Tang Xue mysteriously took Li Yubing to their dating spot and gave him a gift. Inside was a puzzle. Tang Xue hoped to put it together with Li Yubing before the training camp. She called it "Bing Tang Dun Xue Li", using both of their names. Li Yubing sighed that they were like-minded.
Tang Xue didn't understand what he meant. Li Yubing said he would tell her after the puzzle was completed. Yu Yan's mother came to bring Yu Yan breakfast. Yu Yan was hiding in his room with the curtains drawn, not even wanting to eat, and even lost his temper at Yu Yan's mother. Seeing this, Yu Yan's mother was very worried about Yu Yan's condition and could only call Tang Xue. The two arranged to meet.
Tang Xue was a bit surprised to see Yu Yan's diagnosis report. Yu Yan's mother said that Yu Yan needed the company of family and friends. Yu Yan usually didn't have many friends, so she could only think of Tang Xue. She also apologized to Tang Xue for previous matters. Of course, Tang Xue wouldn't ignore Yu Yan; after all, they are friends. Tang Xue entered Yu Yan's room. Yu Yan was hiding in a corner.
Tang Xue smiled and handed him the little sheep, encouraging him to cheer up again. Li Yubing, who had arranged to meet Tang Xue, waited for a long time but didn't see any sign of her. He could only put the puzzle together alone. Under Tang Xue's guidance, Yu Yan finally agreed to eat.
Yu Yan's mother hoped Tang Xue wouldn't tell anyone else about this, including Li Yubing, because she didn't want Yu Yan to be pointed at and gossiped about. Tang Xue thought about it and agreed. After comforting Yu Yan, Tang Xue went to the place she had agreed to meet Li Yubing, but Li Yubing had already left. Tang Xue spent the whole night thinking about the times Yu Yan helped her with skating in the past.
Yu Yan had helped her so much, but Tang Xue hadn't even realized he was sick, so she felt a bit guilty. The next day, Tang Xue came to apologize to Li Yubing, saying she had something urgent to attend to last night. Li Yubing asked her to continue the puzzle together that evening. During training, Tang Xue was distracted. After receiving a text message from Yu Yan's mother, she even left. Zhang Yuewei found it very strange.
Li Yubing came looking for Tang Xue. Zhang Yuewei said she had something urgent and had already left. Looking at Li Yubing, Zhang Yuewei kept telling herself it was time to let go. Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia came to their old spot to eat. Jiang Shijia still didn't know what he should do in the future and felt somewhat lost. Recently, Coach Xu had him read some books about sports management, just in case.
After finishing their noodles, Jiang Shijia went to help Tie Ge move things. Zhang Yuewei wrote a message on a sticky note and put it on the wall, comforting herself that this was a new beginning. Tie Ge also hinted that she would only discover a different view if she looked back. Yu Yan's condition was still not good today, but he was willing to eat.
Yu Yan's mother was going out soon and asked Tang Xue to chat with Yu Yan more. Just then, Tang Xue received a call from Li Yubing. Since it wasn't very convenient, Tang Xue didn't answer. Tang Xue went upstairs to chat with Yu Yan. Yu Yan was sitting glumly in his room, not moving. Tang Xue then taught him how to relieve tension and even pulled him out of the room to hang up clothes together.
She was very impressed when she saw Yu Yan's photos of winning awards, but he seemed to become unhappier the older he got. Yu Yan said that when he was little, he truly loved figure skating, but the older he got, the more he didn't understand why he skated, as if it was just to make Yu Yan's mother happy.
It wasn't until he met Tang Xue later that he saw how free and unrestrained she was, and how she knew what she wanted. Yu Yan was very envious of Tang Xue. Yu Yan became more and more agitated as he spoke. Tang Xue quickly helped him take deep breaths and also enlightened Yu Yan, telling him that her own father and Yu Yan's mother were the same.
Maybe their methods were wrong, but they were both doing it for their children's good. The Yu Yan that Tang Xue knew was born for figure skating. Li Yubing was still putting the puzzle together alone. Thinking of Tang Xue's perfunctory words, Li Yubing felt extremely annoyed. Bian Cheng published a news article spreading rumors that Li Yubing occupied the ice rink, threatened the Snapdragon Club to provide him with a private assistant and mistreated the assistant.
He also claimed that Li Yubing was arrogant after joining the national youth team and even hinted that he had an extraordinary relationship with Manager Ma. Tang Xue returned to the dormitory at already twelve o'clock. Since it was too late, she didn't contact Li Yubing. The next day, Tang Xue brought breakfast to apologize to Li Yubing. Li Yubing was very unhappy after being stood up twice in a row.
He pulled Tang Xue and kissed her left and right cheeks before letting go. The junior ice hockey club came to the Snapdragon Club restaurant. Jiang Shijia kindly helped a little boy tie his shoelaces and even gave him an ice hockey puck. The little boy took out his candy and asked Jiang Shijia to teach him how to play ice hockey, saying he would call him coach from now on.
Xia Menghuan came to the classroom to find Liao Zhenyu but found he wasn't there. Xia Menghuan called him to ask where he was. Liao Zhenyu lied and said he was in the classroom. Xia Menghuan found out he was lying and was very angry.
Episode 33 Recap
Xia Menghuan cried and shouted as soon as she returned to the dormitory, saying that Liao Zhenyu definitely had something going on. Ye Liuying advised her not to make groundless guesses, after all, you need to catch them red-handed. Tang Xue said silently, can't couples have secrets? But she hadn't thought that even the deepest feelings couldn't withstand suspicion.
Li Yubing was sighing because Tang Xue stood him up repeatedly; he was even starting to doubt his position in Tang Xue's heart. Deng Jianguo advised Li Yubing to trust Tang Xue, saying a man should be magnanimous. Tang Xue came to make dessert for Yu Yan after the meal, but the cake she made was far from satisfactory.
Tang Xue seemed to be determined to conquer the cake, completely forgetting that Li Yubing was quietly putting the puzzle together alone. Seeing Tang Xue seriously making dessert, Yu Yan couldn't help but smile. After countless failures, Tang Xue finally made a cake identical to the picture. Li Yubing called Tang Xue to ask when she would come. Tang Xue whispered that she would try to go as early as possible. However, Li Yubing waited from day to night.
He left the last piece of the puzzle for Tang Xue, but he never saw her. Afterwards, Tang Xue explained to Li Yubing that Ye Liuying had an emergency. Li Yubing was still very angry. Tang Xue hurried to apologize to Li Yubing. Seeing that Li Yubing wouldn't let it go, she got a bit angry, thinking, since she liked him so much, couldn't he forgive her just once! Hearing this, Li Yubing was immediately appeased.
He pressed his forehead against Tang Xue's and said that he was very afraid that as soon as he let go, Tang Xue would fly away. Li Yubing asked Tang Xue if she was really with Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying. Tang Xue asked him if he believed her, and Li Yubing ultimately chose to believe. Xia Menghuan secretly followed Liao Zhenyu. Upon arriving at the classroom, she found Liao Zhenyu with a long-haired girl.
In a fit of anger, Xia Menghuan burst in, only to find that the girl was merely a medical dummy and a model. Xia Menghuan was stunned and questioned him why he had lied to her last time. After Liao Zhenyu explained, they realized that the classrooms they thought of that day were not the same. Xia Menghuan left, slapping her forehead in annoyance. Li Yubing stood in front of the mirror getting ready for his date with Tang Xue.
Deng Jianguo helped him answer Tang Xue's call. Tang Xue said she was busy and would find him later. Li Yubing was speechless. Deng Jianguo told him to think about himself, saying that several people were slandering him online right now. Li Yubing, however, didn't take it to heart, saying these things would eventually settle down. Li Yubing walked down the road feeling depressed and ran into Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying.
He sourly remarked that they had been busy lately, but Xia Menghuan teased him, saying he was monopolizing Tang Xue so much that they couldn't even see her. Li Yubing found these words strange. Just then, he saw Tang Xue walking towards outside the school, so Li Yubing followed her. They went all the way to Yu Yan's home. Seeing Yu Yan open the door for Tang Xue, Li Yubing's heart immediately shattered.
Through the window, Li Yubing called Tang Xue. Tang Xue stammered that she went shopping with Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying. Li Yubing gripped the corner of his clothes, said goodbye, and left. Tang Xue didn't have time to think about the meaning of that sentence and turned back to accompany Yu Yan. In the evening, Yu Yan made many dishes. Under Tang Xue's strong eye gestures, Yu Yan put some food on his mother's plate.
Li Yubing stared blankly at the last puzzle piece. Thinking that Tang Xue had deceived him, Li Yubing angrily broke apart the completed puzzle, and the pieces scattered everywhere. Yu Yan's mother showed Tang Xue Yu Yan's trophies and the outfit she made for his first competition. She was also a figure skater when she was young but retired later due to injury. It was because of her regret that she wanted Yu Yan to become a figure skating champion.
Over the years, she had neglected Yu Yan's emotions and imposed her own dreams on him; she felt she wasn't a good mother. Tang Xue comforted Yu Yan's mother, saying that every mother is irreplaceable. Tang Xue asked Yu Yan's mother if she would be willing to respect Yu Yan's choices in the future, such as giving up figure skating. Yu Yan's mother thought for a moment and decided to respect his choice, as it was his life after all.
Yu Yan, who was behind the door, heard this sentence and burst into tears. Tang Xue went to find Li Yubing only after she finished dealing with Yu Yan's matter. She saw the puzzle scattered all over the floor and cautiously asked him if he was angry, adding that Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying were her friends after all. Li Yubing, however, told her that he had seen them, and they were not with Tang Xue.
Only then did Tang Xue have to admit that she had gone to see another friend, but she had also promised the other person not to tell anyone else. Li Yubing didn't listen to Tang Xue's explanation; he just silently broke up with Tang Xue. Tang Xue was a bit angry because she wasn't believed.
She threw the snowflake necklace from her neck onto Li Yubing and declared, "Break up then break up, anyone who gets back together is a puppy!" Li Yubing returned to the dormitory with a low mood. He couldn't hear anything Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia were saying. He just flipped over the photo of him and Tang Xue on the desk and said, "There's no future."
Tang Xue returned to the dormitory and told Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying that she had broken up with Li Yubing. She also complained that he didn't know how important he was in her heart, but she refused to say the reason for the breakup. The next day, Tang Xue went to Yu Yan's home again.
Yu Yan told her she didn't need to visit him recently, as Tang Xue would be going to the training camp soon, and he encouraged her to become a full member of the national team. Yu Yan said the words he had kept hidden for a long time: he liked Tang Xue, and had liked her for a long time. Originally, his life was black and white, and it wasn't until he met Tang Xue that his life had color.
When he knew Tang Xue and Li Yubing were together, he hated everyone. He had hidden his feelings in his heart and gradually lost control. During this time, Yu Yan saw many things clearly; he could have been like Tang Xue as well. The reason Yu Yan could tell Tang Xue these things was that he had let go, truly let go. Yu Yan's mother took Yu Yan for a follow-up appointment.
The doctor said he was recovering well, and this was all because of Tang Xue. If time could turn back, she truly wished she hadn't prevented Tang Xue and Yu Yan from being together in the first place. However, seeing how well-matched she and Li Yubing were, she was still very touched. Tang Xue, however, said they had broken up.
Yu Yan's mother immediately understood that Li Yubing had misunderstood and hoped Tang Xue would tell Li Yubing about Yu Yan's situation. Tang Xue came to the ice hockey team to find Li Yubing and wanted to talk to him, but Li Yubing left without looking back. The Snapdragon and Black Scorpion teams were about to compete, but Li Yubing had been distracted lately. Zhang Yuewei came to Tie Ge's place to eat. She was going to the training camp tomorrow. She wrote a message for her grandmother on a sticky note, saying she would definitely fulfill her wish this time.
Episode 34 Recap
Zhang Yuewei saw a sticky note that read, 'What to do if the person you like doesn't like you back?' Zhang Yuewei flipped through her old sticky notes and found encouraging words written on the back of each one. These were all written by Jiang Shijia. Only then did Zhang Yuewei understand what Tie Ge meant by that sentence. Jiang Shijia happened to come to eat as well.
Just as he was about to tell Zhang Yuewei about Li Yubing's recent situation, he saw her holding those sticky notes. Zhang Yuewei asked if he wrote them. Jiang Shijia stammered that he wrote them for fun and then ran off without even having time to eat. Tomorrow, Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were going to the training camp, but Tang Xue was still doing extra training.
Tang Xue still wanted to clarify some things with Li Yubing, so she sent him a message saying she would wait for him under the starlight lamp. Zhang Yuewei always thought she, Jiang Shijia, and Li Yubing were an iron triangle. Jiang Shijia said, 'What if we weren't?' Zhang Yuewei didn't understand. Jiang Shijia forced a smile and told her not to have too much burden or care about these things, just to strive to stay on the national team.
Tang Xue waited for a long time under the starlight lamp. She didn't want to be separated from Li Yubing again. Li Yubing watched her silently from behind. He felt that they were ultimately separated. The next day, Tang Xue was preparing to go to the training camp, but Li Yubing was nowhere to be seen. Coach Chu came to see Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei off and asked why Li Yubing didn't come to see her off.
Tang Xue didn't say anything. In the car, Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were both preoccupied. Tang Xue suddenly turned off her phone. After all, they were going to a training camp, and they couldn't let these bothersome matters disturb them. Today was also the match between the Black Scorpion team and the Snapdragon team.
Before the match, Li Yubing suddenly received an unknown call saying that a girl with a ponytail had been hit and asked him to come over. Li Yubing called Tang Xue, but she didn't answer. Li Yubing immediately became anxious and rushed outside the school. However, he encountered a group of people while going down the stairs. They appeared one after another and knocked Li Yubing to the ground.
Zhang Yuewei saw that Tang Xue and Li Yubing had argued and advised her to wait until Li Yubing thought things through, and he would reconcile with her. After all, Li Yubing was someone who would rather get hurt himself than let Tang Xue get hurt. Manager Ma and President Zhen led their respective teams to the match. Li Yubing still hadn't returned, and his phone couldn't be reached. Manager Ma was pacing anxiously.
Coach Xu told him to calm down. The players were already panicking, and telling them this would just demoralize them further. Coach Xu decided to make a second plan. Li Yubing slowly woke up with injuries on his face and his vision was blurry. An old man passing by wanted to take him to the hospital, but Li Yubing just wiped the nosebleed and called Coach Chu to ask if Tang Xue was injured.
Coach Chu said she saw Tang Xue get into the car. Li Yubing breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, in the ice hockey rink, everyone was discussing the absence of Li Yubing, and President Zhen even deliberately provoked Manager Ma. Just then, Li Yubing arrived, forcing himself to stay upright. Seeing his injured face, everyone was worried. Li Yubing only said that he had to win this match first.
After Li Yubing got on the ice, the rink immediately erupted. Seeing this, President Zhen was very displeased and gave his coach a look, signaling the players to tightly mark Li Yubing. As soon as the match started, Li Yubing was knocked down. He struggled to get up but was knocked down again by another player. The Black Scorpion team successfully scored a goal. The match continued, and Li Yubing was repeatedly attacked by the opposing team.
He used all his strength to score one point but was knocked down again because of it. Jiang Shijia was furious when he saw this. He rushed over and started fighting with the opposing player. Everyone rushed to break up the fight, but at this moment, Li Yubing only felt dizzy. Jiang Shijia and the opposing player were sent off the ice. President Zhen was furious and told his coach they absolutely had to win.
Bian Cheng in the audience quietly clenched his fists and quickly sent a message to President Zhen saying that something serious would happen if this continued. President Zhen ignored him. Li Yubing splashed water on his face, forcing himself to cheer up. After returning to the ice, Li Yubing was trapped by the Black Scorpion team, but he didn't expect this was just a plan he and Coach Xu had made long ago. The Snapdragon team successfully won the match.
Li Yubing fell to the ground and smiled silently. When he stood up again and took off his helmet, blood streamed down Li Yubing's head. Everyone was startled. Before Jiang Shijia could run over, Li Yubing just once again collapsed. Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei had already arrived at the short track speed skating national team training center, but Tang Xue felt a bit uneasy. Only eight athletes would be selected for the national team from this selection.
They would officially start training tomorrow. Li Yubing was sent to the hospital. Fortunately, there were no signs of concussion, and he was fine. He could be discharged after resting well. Coach Xu, Jiang Shijia, and Liao Zhenyu were relieved. Liao Zhenyu wanted to call Tang Xue, but Li Yubing told him they had broken up and not to call her. Tang Xue returned to the dormitory dejectedly and told Zhang Yuewei that she and Li Yubing had broken up.
Zhang Yuewei sighed and said that the Tang Xue and Li Yubing she knew were not people who gave up easily. Zhang Yuewei seriously told Tang Xue that Li Yubing liked her; everyone could feel it. Tang Xue told Zhang Yuewei that every day of the training camp, she would definitely be in good spirits and become a respectable opponent to her. The two formally started their training, encouraging and helping each other.
Liao Zhenyu handled Li Yubing's injury very well and even won praise from the team doctor. Xia Menghuan asked him out on a date at the Stray Baby Home. The place where Li Yubing was beaten was a surveillance blind spot. Although the police had been called, there was no evidence. Coach Xu and Manager Ma found it very strange and naturally suspected the Black Scorpion team. Liao Zhenyu came to the Stray Baby Home with flowers in the evening.
Xia Menghuan had not turned on the lights. She lit a fire and came towards him, saying it was a celebration for their 180-day anniversary. From now on, Liao Zhenyu would be Xia Menghuan's little prince. She was very content now. As long as they worked hard together, she would be very happy.
Episode 35 Recap
Liao Zhenyu was moved to tears by Xia Menghuan's words. He looked at Xia Menghuan and said they should never be separated again, not like Tang Xue and Li Yubing. Thinking of the two's relationship, Liao Zhenyu and Xia Menghuan wanted to help them, but Tang Xue's phone was always off. Now was a critical period for entering the national team, they couldn't hold her back. Moreover, Li Yubing, this blockhead, couldn't get a girlfriend quickly either.
Li Yubing couldn't sleep. Did he not trust Tang Xue, or did he not trust himself? Jiang Shijia advised Li Yubing to consider other girls, but Li Yubing said the most important thing now was the match, and as for other matters, let nature take its course. Zhang Yuewei felt complicated inside thinking about Jiang Shijia's feelings for her. She tried her best not to think about those things and went to sleep.
Tang Xue, beside her, was also full of worries and began to miss Li Yubing. Why didn't he come to see her when he left? Tang Xue thought to herself, maybe Li Yubing's apology message had already been sent. She secretly got out of bed and picked up her phone. Zhang Yuewei smiled when she saw this. Tang Xue thought about it and still didn't turn it on.
On the other side, Li Yubing also didn't have the courage to call her. Yu Yan suddenly didn't know what he should do. His mother told him to think about what he most wanted to do deep down. He had grown up, and his mother would no longer make decisions for him. She even washed Yu Yan's two dolls clean. Yu Yan began to think about what he really wanted to do.
After thinking for a long time, he wrote down two words on paper: figure skating. Yu Yan ran with his mother and proposed returning to Lin Da for training in a few days, not because of others but for himself. He had always not known why he practiced figure skating; no one gave him an answer, only he could give himself the answer.
Over the years, figure skating, besides bringing Yu Yan pain and pressure, also gave him a sense of accomplishment. He actually liked skating very much. Li Yubing fell asleep in the lounge. Jiang Shijia saw this and wanted to ask for leave for him, but Li Yubing decided to return to training after eating. Yu Yan returned to Lin Da. Everyone thought he was training abroad and were surprised to see him back.
Yu Yan went to Coach Jin with a smile, and also proposed returning to train with him. Coach Jin was very touched to see Yu Yan back in his previous state. Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei returned to their dorm holding their backs after training. The people who could get in here were all very skilled, and the two of them felt a lot of pressure. Tang Xue lit an incense stick.
Zhang Yuewei smelled it and said it smelled very much like cat's foot flower, a flower her grandmother used to raise when she was little. When she was little, after her younger brother was born, Zhang Yuewei was sent to her grandmother's house. At that time, Zhang Yuewei felt that her grandmother was the person who was best to her. Zhang Yuewei worked so hard just to wear the national team uniform and tell her grandmother about her achievements.
Li Yubing came to the infirmary for a check-up. Liao Zhenyu heard that he had been frequently seen with a girl recently, so he asked about it, asking if he had any thoughts of dating again. There was nothing wrong with Li Yubing's body, but he had been feeling a bit dizzy recently. Liao Zhenyu suggested he go back to the hospital for another check-up. Li Yubing said he would go after the league match.
Liao Zhenyu reluctantly asked Li Yubing if he had really broken up with Tang Xue. Li Yubing said, if she had someone else in her heart, what else could he do? Li Yubing encountered Yu Yan during training and immediately walked away without looking back. Tang Xue asked the coach if she and Zhang Yuewei were in the top eight.
The coach said Zhang Yuewei was in, and Tang Xue still had some distance to go, but there was still time until the end of the month. As long as Tang Xue worked hard, she would definitely make it. Tang Xue was a little discouraged. Zhang Yuewei encouraged her to push herself harder, just like when she joined the Lin Da short track speed skating team without hesitation. Liao Zhenyu came to check Yu Yan's shoulder.
Yu Yan asked him how Tang Xue and Li Yubing were doing recently. Liao Zhenyu said they had broken up, seemingly because Tang Xue had stood Li Yubing up a few times. Yu Yan was very surprised and went to find Li Yubing before his shoulder massage was finished. Seeing this, Deng Jianguo pulled Jiang Shijia to eavesdrop. Li Yubing was staring blankly at the pink hockey stick Tang Xue gave him.
Seeing Yu Yan arrive, he had no intention of paying attention. Yu Yan asked if his breakup with Tang Xue was because of him, and he stopped Li Yubing from leaving. Li Yubing angrily grabbed his collar. Yu Yan quickly explained that Tang Xue was with him some time ago because he had anxiety, and his mother had gone to Tang Xue hoping she could help.
The reason Tang Xue didn't tell Li Yubing was also because of her promise to his mother. Li Yubing was stunned by what he heard, but knowing Tang Xue's temper, she probably wouldn't forgive him. Seeing this, Yu Yan made a gesture as if he would chase Tang Xue back. Li Yubing quickly stopped him. Yu Yan said that if he was the reason for their breakup, he would feel bad.
He also smiled and cheered Li Yubing on, calling him Gouzi. As soon as Yu Yan opened the door, he saw Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia eavesdropping, but he didn't mind. After Yu Yan left, the two exchanged glances, realizing the truth. Then they walked up to Li Yubing and advised him to call Tang Xue. But Tang Xue's phone was off. Li Yubing decided to send her a message. Zhang Yuewei unconsciously wrote Jiang Shijia's name in her notebook.
Before this, her notebook was filled with Li Yubing's name. Tang Xue called out Li Yubing's name in her sleep, startling Zhang Yuewei. Li Yubing looked at the snowflake necklace and found it hard to fall asleep. So this was what regret felt like. Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu were taking care of cats and dogs at the Stray Baby Home. Liao Zhenyu said that Li Yubing was definitely not with other girls, and he had a match tomorrow.
Actually, Liao Zhenyu was more worried about Li Yubing's health, after all, he had been feeling dizzy recently. The next day, Li Yubing was not in good condition before the match. After trying hard to cheer himself up, he prepared to enter the rink. On the rink, the Snapdragon team continuously lost points and finally lost the match. Li Yubing felt very unhappy. He didn't know what was wrong with him; his performance on the rink was getting worse.
Episode 36 Recap
Li Yubing felt very apologetic. The match today should have been an easy win, but he lost it all because of his mistakes. Coach Xu comforted him, saying the match was over, and the most important thing now was the next match. Zhou Ran came to find Bian Cheng and advised him to stop while he was ahead. Bian Cheng hadn't apologized to Tang Xue's father and was now spreading rumors about Li Yubing online.
Bian Cheng gritted his teeth; he had to go all out, otherwise, he would lose everything. Manager Ma and Coach Xu both saw the article about Li Yubing, but the article had already attracted widespread attention on and off campus. If Li Yubing's image plummeted, the chairman would likely not let him play. There was another match tomorrow, and the pressure on Li Yubing grew even greater. Li Yubing practiced alone on the ice rink.
Jiang Shijia advised him to take a break, but Li Yubing refused stubbornly. The next day, Li Yubing's condition was still poor, and the Snapdragon team lost the match again. Li Yubing sat blankly in the lounge. Jiang Shijia advised him not to care about what others said, but Li Yubing found it hard to be indifferent, especially when he thought of the disappointed looks in the audience. Some people even called Li Yubing "Sick God."
Xia Menghuan was furious after seeing the post about Li Yubing. Seeing this, Ye Liuying decisively picked up her computer, ready to show those keyboard warriors hiding behind their screens what justice looked like. Ye Liuying was categorized as a brainless fan by the other side, but luckily she wasn't alone. Deng Jianguo also helped her counter the trolls online, ultimately achieving a great victory. Xia Menghuan excitedly asked who that ID belonged to.
Ye Liuying didn't say anything, then sent a message to Deng Jianguo, "You were very handsome today." Deng Jianguo replied, "You are more beautiful than the moonlight tonight." Li Yubing fell into confusion looking at Xu Feng's photo. Just then, Xu Feng returned to his alma mater, met him, and enlightened Li Yubing.
Li Yubing had always just wanted to present a wonderful match to the audience, but he didn't expect that in the end, they cursed him the most fiercely. Xu Feng asked Li Yubing why he became the most valuable player; it was because of his performance on the field. Since Li Yubing's value was on the field, did discussions off the field have anything to do with him? Li Yubing understood in his heart, but he was still affected.
Xu Feng said he was like himself before; he just needed to let go. Instead of trying to make others understand why he failed, it was better to use his performance on the field to crush the rumors. After hearing Xu Feng's words, Li Yubing suddenly had an epiphany. Yu Yan's condition had been very good recently. Compared to before, he had a new strength of life.
Coach Jin said it would definitely not be a problem for him to surpass his previous self. Seeing this, Yu Yan's mother cried moved. The club needed to submit candidates for the best coach, but Coach Jin said he wouldn't participate this year. Coach Chu and Coach Xu were very surprised. Coach Jin said with some guilt that he felt he wasn't qualified, and some things were actually more important than winning awards.
When Yu Yan heard about this, he asked him why. Coach Jin said it had something to do with him. Yu Yan made him realize that only if he could truly give up that medal could he wholeheartedly give full support to his team members. When Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were training, a girl suddenly said she couldn't persist anymore, so they chose to give up. The coach earnestly told them that becoming champions depended only on themselves.
It was one week until the list of national team members was announced. The club refused to let Li Yubing play again. Li Yubing stubbornly stated that he must prove himself, but Coach Xu also agreed with Manager Ma's decision. The most important thing for Li Yubing now was to get a physical check-up. Li Yubing promised them he would get a check-up after this match.
Coupled with Liao Zhenyu speaking up for him, Manager Ma and Coach Xu finally nodded in agreement. The team doctor took leave, so Manager Ma asked Liao Zhenyu to fill in temporarily. Liao Zhenyu was a bit unsure of himself. Yu Yan told his mother that Coach Jin gave up the Best Coach award for him, so he wanted his mother to find the skates from his first championship to give to Coach Jin.
Li Yubing was practicing on the ice rink, feeling a bit dizzy in a daze. Tomorrow was the last match of the league. Liao Zhenyu was worried he couldn't handle things during the team doctor's absence, but Xia Menghuan had a lot of confidence in him. Deng Jianguo came to the library to find Ye Liuying, either helping her wipe her glasses or blowing on her hot water, and he also apologized for his previous actions.
After the two resolved their misunderstandings, they got to know each other anew. Yu Yan met with Coach Jason. Because Coach Jin had sent him Yu Yan's recommendation video, Yu Yan's mother and Yu Yan specially came to thank him and gave Coach Jin a trophy made from his first championship skates. Yu Yan was about to leave, thinking that Tang Xue was also working hard for her dream.
Yu Yan was very happy; their passion had made them better versions of themselves. The list of selected members was about to be announced, and Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei were both very nervous. Zhang Yuewei took out their phones and turned them on. The first thing she saw was various messages sent by Jiang Shijia. Tang Xue, however, didn't dare to turn hers on.
Zhang Yuewei knew she must be afraid of not having any news from Li Yubing, but what if he had already sent a message to make up? Tang Xue quickly turned on her phone. The first thing she saw was the message from Li Yubing asking to reconcile. She rolled around on the bed excitedly. Li Yubing was about to go on the field.
He looked at the pink stick in his hand and thought, if only Tang Xue were here. Li Yubing went on the field, so he didn't answer the call from Tang Xue. At this moment, Zhang Yuewei ran over to call Tang Xue to the meeting room; the national team list was out. The coach began to read out the selected names one by one. Zhang Yuewei was successfully selected, leaving only one spot left.
When the coach read out Tang Xue's name, the worry that had been hanging over Tang Xue's heart finally lifted. At the same time, as soon as Li Yubing entered the field, he fainted on the ground. In a daze, he only heard Jiang Shijia and others calling his name beside him. Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue specifically thanked Coach Cao. However, the national team was full of experts, and they still needed to continue working hard.
Li Yubing was sent to the hospital. Tang Xue received a call from Liao Zhenyu. Just as she told him the news of her selection, Liao Zhenyu said that Li Yubing was in the hospital. And Bian Cheng watched all of this from the side. Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei rushed back. Li Yubing's parents also arrived. Li Yubing was undergoing drainage surgery. Jiang Shijia thought about it. This injury should be a sequela from being beaten some time ago.
Jiang Shijia told everyone the whole story. Tang Xue was suddenly filled with self-blame. Why did she turn off her phone back then! Fortunately, the surgery was very successful, and Li Yubing's hematoma was cleared.
Episode 37 Recap
The doctor said Li Yubing's surgery was very successful, the hematoma has been cleared, the last checkup showed very little bleeding, but because Li Yubing repeatedly engaged in strenuous exercise, the condition worsened. If Li Yubing had come for a checkup in time, he wouldn't be in this situation now, and everyone felt very self-blame. Snapdragon wanted to block the news of Li Yubing's hospitalization, hoping he would get better quickly so that Snapdragon's negative news could be minimized.
Seeing this, Jiang Shijia almost got into a fight with Manager Ma. Manager Ma then received a call from the chairman, asking him to scout for new players right away. Li Yubing was still in the intensive care unit, so everyone couldn't visit him. Li Yubing's parents then asked the others to go back. Tang Xue initially refused to go back, but she only left after Li Yubing's parents insisted repeatedly.
Zhang Yuewei finally couldn't help but cry after leaving the hospital. Jiang Shijia quickly comforted her. After crying for a while, Zhang Yuewei returned to the dormitory. Tang Xue had a nightmare. She dreamed that Li Yubing was standing in front of her, but she couldn't say a word no matter what and could only watch him leave her. The next day, Tang Xue rushed to the hospital early in the morning.
Li Yubing had just been moved to a regular ward, but he hadn't woken up yet. Coach Xu trimmed Li Yubing's fingernails and said he had long wanted to quit being a coach because he felt ice hockey had no future and no hope, until he met Li Yubing. When he was a child, Li Yubing was afraid of everything.
Coach Xu told him to play according to the bravest person in his heart, and unexpectedly, it really worked, but Coach Xu still didn't know who that person was. Coach Xu couldn't help but cry. He turned around and saw Tang Xue and Li Yubing's mother were there, so he quickly found an excuse to leave. Sitting by Li Yubing's bedside, Tang Xue couldn't help but feel self-blame again.
Jiang Shijia and Deng Jianguo showed her Li Yubing's alternate account 'Rock Sugar Stewed Snow Pear' page, which recorded Li Yubing's emotional journey from falling for Tang Xue to their breakup. Tang Xue's eyes welled up with tears as she read, and she mumbled about wanting him to go to the Winter Olympics with her, and said they would have two children after getting married, one would be named Dandan. Tang Xue cried heavily, lying on Li Yubing's chest.
Li Yubing slowly woke up, touched her head, and said he couldn't believe her naming skills hadn't improved at all. Tang Xue quickly called Li Yubing's parents in, and Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia also quickly came in. Jiang Shijia told everyone that Li Yubing was awake, but why was Li Yubing beaten like this? Although the police had no evidence, they couldn't swallow this anger.
Everyone picked up their hockey sticks one after another, wanting to vent this anger for Li Yubing. Seeing this, Coach Xu quickly stopped them, yelling for them to change clothes and train. The crowd reluctantly turned back. Liao Zhenyu had been very self-blaming since Li Yubing went to the hospital. After all, he was the ice hockey team's doctor's assistant. If only he had told Li Yubing to come back to the hospital for a checkup sooner.
Liao Zhenyu said he couldn't evade responsibility, but should find a way to be more meticulous. The club wanted to give the main player position to Song Anjie. Coach Xu was afraid Li Yubing wouldn't be able to accept it. Coach Chu made chicken soup for both of them. Coach Xu was very surprised because in all the years they knew each other, Coach Chu had never made soup. Coach Xu drank it all in one gulp.
Coach Chu said he would make him soup every day from now on. The two resolved the misunderstanding from back then, and Coach Chu agreed to start anew with Coach Xu. Li Yubing's father peeled walnuts for him at the hospital. Tang Xue brought the soup made by Coach Chu to see Li Yubing and fed it to him spoonful by spoonful. Li Yubing asked Tang Xue if she had received the national team notification letter.
Tang Xue didn't say anything. Tang Xue held Li Yubing's hand, and both of them said "I'm sorry" at the same time. Li Yubing told Tang Xue to close her eyes and then put the snowflake necklace back on her. Coach Xu suddenly announced that the ice hockey team would be bringing in new players. Jiang Shijia and others were very displeased. Li Yubing hadn't been discharged yet, doing this while he was still in the hospital was simply inhumane.
They all accused Coach Xu of burning bridges. But how could Coach Xu possibly want to do this? None of them could replace Li Yubing in leading the team to victory. This was also a last resort. Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia couldn't bear to tell Li Yubing about this, fearing it might affect his recovery, so they decided to wait until Li Yubing was discharged. Zhou Ran brought Tang Xue's parents to see Li Yubing.
Tang Xue and Li Yubing's parents were also there. Li Yubing said that everything Tang Xue's father said back then had come true. Tang Xue's father, however, returned Li Yubing's words from back then to him, saying he had always remembered his words. Tang Xue's father also encouraged Li Yubing, saying that behind him was everyone's support for him. Zhou Ran walked Tang Xue's parents out.
Tang Xue's father said he would transfer more living expenses to Tang Xue so she could buy more nutritional supplements for Li Yubing. The three happened to run into Bian Cheng. Seeing them, Bian Cheng turned and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Tang Xue's father. Tang Xue's father said that what happened in the past was in the past, and everyone makes mistakes.
Jiang Shijia asked Deng Jianguo to go to the hospital to see Li Yubing together, but Deng Jianguo was happily engrossed in a book and said he wanted to find Ye Liuying to consult on some questions.
Episode 38 Recap
Jiang Shijia was a bit sad because the future was uncertain. Just then, he received a text message saying a club wanted him for an interview tomorrow at 3 PM. Jiang Shijia was very excited. Li Yubing was alone in the hospital. He had just undergone surgery, and his limbs were not yet flexible enough. Tang Xue came to keep him company. Li Yubing sighed, he had finally managed to get his parents to leave, and then Tang Xue arrived.
Tang Xue said the last time she slept in a hospital was when she was injured in high school, and back then she felt like the sky was falling, but that period also made her stronger. Tang Xue told Li Yubing to go to sleep early and pulled up a chair to sit next to him, saying she would only sleep after he did. Li Yubing was speechless and could only say goodnight before closing his eyes.
Li Yubing fell asleep holding Tang Xue's hand, and Tang Xue also slept by his bedside. The next day, after they woke up, they turned on the TV and happened to see news about winter sports. Jiang Shijia went to the interview location as notified, only to find that the person interviewing him was Boss Zhen from the Black Scorpions club. Jiang Shijia's expression immediately changed, and he questioned him whether Li Yubing's injury had anything to do with him.
Boss Zhen naturally didn't admit it so easily and even extended an olive branch to him, with a contract already prepared, offering double the compensation of other clubs. Jiang Shijia was furious, but Boss Zhen continued, saying that even if Li Yubing could play again in the future, he wouldn't bring Jiang Shijia with him if he joined a professional team. He advised him to face reality and take a good look at the contract.
Jiang Shijia picked up the contract and left. He hesitated, knowing clearly that he shouldn't join such a team, but this was his dream professional team, and Zhang Yuewei would also look at him differently. Zhang Yuewei arrived, and Jiang Shijia quickly put away the contract. He asked her what she would think if he had a highly paid profession but had to do things Zhang Yuewei strongly disliked, perhaps going against his original intention, and feeling utterly without dignity.
Zhang Yuewei advised Jiang Shijia to understand his own heart, which would come first, the compensation, his original intention, or his dignity. Jiang Shijia then asked Zhang Yuewei if she would think he was useless if he didn't become a professional player. Zhang Yuewei comforted him, saying it was just a choice, and there was no such thing as useful or useless. Jiang Shijia lamented that he might just be an ordinary person.
Zhang Yuewei said whether one was ordinary or not was unimportant, as long as they did what they liked. Li Yubing was recovering well and eagerly asked the doctor when he could train, prompting Tang Xue to pat him several times. The ice hockey league ended, and Song Anjie defeated the Black Scorpions team, which was considered revenge for him. Li Yubing turned to Tang Xue for a kiss, but his phone rang at that moment.
Many encouraging videos were sent to Li Yubing in the Lin University campus group chat. Looking at the photos of the team members, Li Yubing smiled contentedly. Tang Xue brought his clothes back at this time. After changing, Li Yubing was ready to go back to Lin University. Li mother was initially worried, but agreed after Tang Xue said she would accompany Li Yubing. Zhang Yuewei was very happy to see Li Yubing back.
Coach Chu had something to discuss with Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei, so the two left first. Coach Xu introduced Song Anjie to everyone. Song Anjie officially joined the Snapdragon team, and everyone was very perfunctory towards him. At this moment, Li Yubing suddenly returned. Seeing Song Anjie there, he couldn't help but be startled. Coach Xu told the others to train while he took Li Yubing to Manager Ma's office.
Coach Chu gave the national team notification letter to Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei. They would have to report a month later. The two were very excited, and Tang Xue couldn't wait to tell Li Yubing immediately. Manager Ma and Coach Xu were both awkward. Li Yubing said he understood, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
Song Anjie told Li Yubing that he joined the Snapdragon team because of him and said they would play together again after he was discharged. Tang Xue saw Li Yubing and Song Anjie together from afar and had a bad premonition, quickly stuffing the notification letter back into her pocket. Knowing that Song Anjie had joined Snapdragon, Tang Xue was afraid he would feel bad, so she didn't mention the notification letter either.
Boss Zhen called Jiang Shijia and asked to meet him. Li Yubing could be discharged tomorrow, but he couldn't engage in strenuous exercise for the next few months, and the doctor couldn't guarantee if he could recover to his previous state. Li Yubing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but still smiled and reassured his parents. Jiang Shijia finally rejected Boss Zhen's invitation. Although the compensation was generous, he would absolutely not do anything against his conscience.
Justice might be late, but it would never be absent. Li Yubing was somewhat distracted. Tang Xue cautiously asked him if he and Song Anjie were on good terms. The two were on good terms, and Song Anjie was also a very capable center. His arrival at the Snapdragon team inevitably made Li Yubing feel sad. Li Yubing told Tang Xue to go back and rest.
After closing the ward door, Tang Xue took out the notification letter and looked at it for a long time, wondering how she should tell Li Yubing. Li Yubing in the ward was full of worries. He told himself he would definitely recover to his previous state, but a voice in his heart told him that Song Anjie would replace him, and ultimately Li Yubing would become redundant. Li Yubing buried his head and cried.
Tang Xue sat on the sofa late into the night, staring blankly, and asked Xia Menghuan whether she would choose love or a dream. Xia Menghuan chose a dream, saying that if you choose love, you might end up with nothing. Ye Liuying suddenly said, why can't you choose both? Tang Xue suddenly realized that she would not give up either, but the most important thing now was Li Yubing's health.
The next day, Tang Xue came to pick Li Yubing up from the hospital. Li mother initially wanted to stay and take care of him for a few more days, but Li Yubing insisted, so she prepared to go back with Li father, leaving the peeled walnuts for Li Yubing and telling him to eat more. After Li Yubing returned, everyone celebrated together. The person who beat Li Yubing hadn't been caught yet.
Jiang Shijia said that Boss Zhen had contacted him, and he could tell that Boss Zhen was responsible for it. Li Yubing returned to the training room in the middle of the night. Looking at the equipment that had accompanied him, and thinking about what Coach Xu had told him, his resolve gradually strengthened.
Episode 39 Recap
Li Yubing trained on the ice rink late at night and was discovered by Tang Xue, who was very angry. Didn't he know how much risk he was taking by doing such high-intensity training? Li Yubing said he couldn't even hold his stick steadily now and was no longer the Ice God of Lin University. Tang Xue never thought that way. Everyone hoped Li Yubing could recover quickly.
As long as he was patient, he would definitely be able to return to the arena. However, Li Yubing told her not to worry about him anymore and instead focus on waiting for her own national team notification! Tang Xue was angry when she heard this and left. Tang Xue stubbornly left the ice rink, took out the national team notification letter that she had been hiding in her pocket, and stared at it blankly.
After some thought, Li Yubing put down his stick and went to find Tang Xue. As a result, he saw the notification letter in her hand. Li Yubing felt a sudden sense of frustration, but Tang Xue told him that she planned to go to the national team next year. She wasn't giving up easily, but because she was confident she could get in next year. Li Yubing disagreed. What if she couldn't get in?
What if he never got better? Tang Xue doing this would only make him feel useless. Tang Xue sadly said that dignity was important to him, but Li Yubing was more important to her! She was afraid Li Yubing would be crushed, because she had also given up on a dream before, so she understood that feeling better than Li Yubing. But now that Tang Xue had received the national team notification letter, what couldn't Li Yubing achieve?
Li Yubing turned to leave, but Tang Xue stubbornly grabbed his hand. Li Yubing gently pulled away. Zhang Yuewei told Tang Xue that she wouldn't go to the national team. Perhaps truly loving someone means being willing to sacrifice for him. Jiang Shijia blurted out, I am willing too. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhang Yuewei said she was reporting to the national team soon, but there was one thing she hadn't done yet.
Zhang Yuewei and Jiang Shijia went to the cemetery to visit her grandmother. She specifically wore her national team uniform and proudly told her grandmother that she had made it into the national team. Jiang Shijia put his arm around Zhang Yuewei's shoulder and said he would definitely take good care of Zhang Yuewei and wouldn't let her suffer any grievances. Li Yubing sat alone, lost in thought. Yu Yan saw this and walked over.
Li Yubing felt that he would only drag Tang Xue down. Yu Yan told him that pushing away those who cared about him was useless, and since he could get better, Li Yubing definitely could too. Yu Yan was going to participate in the National Figure Skating Championships and invited Li Yubing and Tang Xue to come watch. Zhang Yuewei gave Jiang Shijia a scratch card and told him that was her answer.
Li Yubing quietly reminisced under the starry lights. Tang Xue was getting better and better, but he was getting worse and worse. If she really went, maybe they would drift further apart. But Li Yubing couldn't let Tang Xue abandon her dream for him. Only by getting better himself could he allow the people around him to do other things with peace of mind. Tang Xue helped Li Yubing change to a new stick.
Seeing Li Yubing, Tang Xue's expression was a little stiff, but Li Yubing hugged her tightly. He only wanted to return to the rink and had ignored that Tang Xue would also worry about him. Li Yubing told Tang Xue that he had to start facing reality, but he hoped Tang Xue would report to the national team. They would meet at the 2022 Winter Olympics, and no one would be absent.
Li Yubing also took out tickets to Yu Yan's competition and said with a hint of pride that he had a good relationship with Yu Yan now. On the day of Yu Yan's competition, Tang Xue and Li Yubing met Yu Yan's mother in the stands. Yu Yan's mother regretfully said she shouldn't have stopped Tang Xue and Yu Yan from dating back then, otherwise she would be her daughter-in-law now.
Li Yubing said sourly that she already had a mother-in-law. Yu Yan participated in the competition as a newcomer this time. After experiencing confusion and helplessness, he gradually understood the meaning of his dream and won the cheers of the audience with his strength. Yu Yan successfully won the gold medal. He told everyone that many people had helped him get to where he was today, and then he looked towards the stands.
She had stayed with him through his lowest point, tolerated him, encouraged him, and without her, he wouldn't be who he was today. When Yu Yan said "I love you," Li Yubing's eyes almost popped out, but he didn't expect the person Yu Yan was talking about was his mother. Yu Yan's mother was stunned for a long time, her eyes full of tears. Coach Jin proudly showed Coach Xu the video of Yu Yan's competition.
Coach Xu suddenly told him that he was getting married. Coach Jin happily asked him if he had told Coach Chu. Coach Xu awkwardly said that the bride was her. Coach Jin almost couldn't catch his breath and exclaimed that he couldn't believe it. The chairman came to Manager Ma and said they needed to reconsider Li Yubing's commercial value because his injury was negative news, and the club needed to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages to advertisers.
The chairman could pay this money, but Li Yubing had to leave. Manager Ma strongly disagreed. Li Yubing was in his most difficult time now, and doing this was too much like kicking someone when they're down. Manager Ma even threatened to pay Li Yubing's liquidated damages himself. The chairman gave him five days, and then immediately froze Manager Ma's card. It turned out that Manager Ma was the chairman's son.
Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia, who secretly overheard the conversation, were stunned. Manager Ma wanted to sell his limited edition car, but unexpectedly, the chairman had also taken his car keys. Jiang Shijia felt that this matter must be told to Li Yubing. Deng Jianguo couldn't bring himself to say it and even ran off to meet Ye Liuying for a date.
Ye Liuying was not in a good mood because she, who had always come first in exams, had come second and even cried. Deng Jianguo unintentionally told Ye Liuying the news that Li Yubing was about to be expelled. Ye Liuying felt Li Yubing was very pitiful and cried again. After returning to the dorm, Ye Liuying told Tang Xue about it.
Episode 40 (Ending) Recap
Jiang Shijia told Li Yubing about this matter. Li Yubing had thought the club would terminate his contract, but he didn't expect the club would also have to pay liquidated damages. At this moment, Tang Xue called him and asked him to come to the lounge, saying everyone was there. Li Yubing, Jiang Shijia, and Deng Jianguo rushed to the lounge and saw Manager Ma, the coaches, Yu Yan, and the others were all there.
They all hoped to help Li Yubing cover the liquidated damages. Song Anjie took out his allowance, Yu Yan and Coach Jin wanted to pawn their medals and awards, Xia Menghuan and Liao Zhenyu wanted to take out the rest of their living expenses, and Coach Xu and Coach Chu even took out the money they planned to use for their wedding. Li Yubing was very touched, but he didn't want everyone's money. Tang Xue had a sudden idea.
On the first day she came to sign up, Manager Ma said that the boys with the highest appearance in the entire school were all on the ice hockey team, so they could take photos and magazines to sell their faces! However, even if everyone in the school bought a copy, it wouldn't be enough to cover this amount, so their biggest problem was still expanding their appeal. As soon as everyone agreed, they set up a photo studio immediately.
Manager Ma also invited Xu Feng over. When everyone saw Xu Feng, their eyes sparkled. Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying even proposed taking a group photo. Liao Zhenyu and Deng Jianguo quickly stopped them, then went up themselves to ask Xu Feng for a photo. The ice hockey team took photos with Xu Feng and Yu Yan. Xu Feng said that seeing Tang Xue was like seeing Li Yubing for the first time; they were both sparkling.
Bian Cheng and Zhou Ran came to the seaside. He had withdrawn from the National University Student Speech Contest. After all, he had made a mistake, and no one would want to see such a person giving a speech on stage. Zhou Ran said that if he wanted to speak, she was willing to listen. Bian Cheng took out a voice recorder. This was evidence that Boss Zhen had injured Li Yubing. Maybe he should tell the police.
His mind had been full of wanting to get revenge on Li Yubing, but he hadn't expected it to be this serious. Zhou Ran advised him to listen to his inner voice and think about what his original intention was. Bian Cheng prepared the voice recorder and a letter of report, and also wrote a letter to Tang Xue, sending them out at the same time.
The photos and merchandise featuring Xu Feng and the ice hockey team sold incredibly well, with sales exceeding the print run both online and offline. On the fifth day, Manager Ma patted the bank card and came before the chairman. The chairman told him to keep the money for himself and handle his own matters from now on.
Manager Ma was very confused, but unexpectedly, the manager told him that the news about them selling calendars had spread, so the advertisers re-evaluated the strength of the Snapdragon Club. Not only did they cancel the compensation requirement, but they also signed a contract with the entire Snapdragon Club, and Li Yubing could also continue to stay on the team. Tang Xue received a package sent by Bian Cheng.
Inside was a paper crane she had once given to Bian Cheng, as well as Bian Cheng's letter. Bian Cheng said that he had written a letter of report to the police. He had thought that his life would never have any mishaps, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was most ridiculously wrong. Bian Cheng gave his blessings to Tang Xue and Li Yubing, and also exposed the truth about Li Yubing's injury online.
It was precisely because of this that Bian Cheng was severely beaten by Boss Zhen's men. Boss Zhen was arrested by the police. Deng Jianguo showed Li Yubing the negative news about him that Bian Cheng had clarified. Li Yubing went to Ming University, found Bian Cheng who had a face full of injuries, and thanked him. Zhou Ran also came with Tang Xue.
She shook hands for Bian Cheng and Li Yubing, and said that everyone would be friends from now on. Tomorrow, Zhang Yuewei and Tang Xue were going to the national team, but Jiang Shijia still didn't have the courage to look at the answer she had given him. After Zhang Yuewei left, Jiang Shijia plucked up the courage to scratch off the character "谢" (thank you) and instantly understood Zhang Yuewei's answer.
Unwilling to give up, Jiang Shijia continued to scratch, but found the answer was "Thank you for winning." Jiang Shijia quickly went to find Zhang Yuewei. She was waiting there. Li Yubing and Tang Xue put the puzzle back together again, and she also gave him a new 'Golden Bell Shield'. After entering the national team, Wu Dajing came to bring Tang Xue some corn. He was going abroad for training soon.
The two agreed to meet at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Two years later. Xia Menghuan fulfilled her dream of seeing sloths and sent a video to Liao Zhenyu, who was doing an experiment. She said she would be back in the country next week. A foreign man suddenly appeared in Xia Menghuan's video. Liao Zhenyu immediately became extremely nervous, wishing he could go and bring Xia Menghuan back right away.
Ye Liuying became a teacher and was happily together with Deng Jianguo. Zhang Yuewei brought many gifts for Jiang Shijia, including a thermos water cup and a phone case she painted herself. Zhou Ran and Bian Cheng planned to go to Cambridge University for postgraduate studies. The two reunited by the seaside. Today was also the day of Li Yubing's competition. After the competition, the two made heart shapes together through the glass, and the stadium was filled with cheers.
Li Yubing picked up his ice hockey stick again. Yu Yan was working towards becoming a world champion. Tang Xue and Zhang Yuewei stepped onto higher world stages, no longer lost about their dreams. Dreams don't shine; what shines is the person chasing the dream. One day. Tang Xue and Li Yubing were sitting together intimately.
Xia Menghuan and Ye Liuying remembered Tang Xue confidently saying in the dorm before, if she ever liked Li Yubing, she would eat instant noodles with only the seasoning packet. Deng Jianguo and Jiang Shijia also recalled that Li Yubing had said the same thing in the dorm before, if he ever liked Tang Xue, he would eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet! Tang Xue and Li Yubing smiled at each other.
It turned out that when they ate instant noodles as children, one really only had the noodles, and the other only had the seasoning packet. Perhaps, this is what it means to be a match made in heaven.
