Summer Again Episode 12 Recap
> Summer Again Recap
Lin Nanyi, disguised as Ultraman, swiftly came to Tong Xi's rescue when she was in danger, injuring his arm in the process. Reflecting on a previous leg injury sustained before an attempted fan meeting and now this new arm injury, he worried about how he would conceal his identity as Guru Qing He. To maintain his disguise, Lin Nanyi, wearing a chicken head, took the stage for the fan meeting and spoke in a deliberate dialect to confuse the audience.
The host, Jia Jia, introduced Guru Qing He, who explained that he was generally shy and had never revealed his identity before, promising to repay his fans with his best work. Tong Xi, initially disappointed by the costume and voice, could not distinguish if the Guru was from the Northeast or Taipei. During the signing session, fans lined up with their requests. Tong Xi, getting a signed comic for Lin Nanyi, asked Qing He to write "Be Happy.
It's good to have you around" for him. She also enthusiastically tried to hug Qing He for a photo, but was politely declined, settling instead for a heart-shaped pose. Later, during the lucky draw, Wei Ze’s number, 25, was called. Despite initially wanting to decline, Tong Xi urged him to go on stage and fulfill her wish to find out what Qing He truly looked like. Wei Ze then made his wish to see Qing He's face.
Reluctantly, Qing He removed his chicken head mask, revealing his true identity to Wei Ze alone. When Tong Xi eagerly asked about Qing He's appearance, Wei Ze ambiguously described him as "familiar" and "friendly," effectively concealing Lin Nanyi's true identity from her. After the fan meeting, Tong Xi led Wei Ze to the bookstore's back exit, believing celebrities use such routes to avoid crowds. She asked Wei Ze to hold her bag while she briefly went to the restroom.
In her absence, Lin Nanyi, still in his Qing He attire, emerged and encountered Wei Ze. Lin Nanyi urged Wei Ze not to reveal his identity to Tong Xi, a request Wei Ze silently honored. When Tong Xi returned, she found Lin Nanyi there, who quickly fabricated a story about having just finished running errands nearby and mistakenly coming to the back door, pretending Qing He had already left.
Later, the group, including Tong Xi’s friends Man Man and Wen Zi, went out for dinner. Tong Xi was subtly encouraged by her friends to sit next to Wei Ze. During the meal, Man Man and Wen Zi expressed their admiration for Xi Hai, describing it as beautiful like "Little Greece." Wei Ze, however, dismissively commented that Xi Hai was merely an undeveloped town not worth a special trip, much to everyone's discomfort.
He further criticized Tong Xi for peeling and eating shrimp with her hands, reminding her it was a restaurant, not a street stall. In stark contrast, Lin Nanyi demonstrated a caring nature, peeling shrimp for Tong Xi and patiently answering her friends' questions about scenic spots in Xi Hai like Maotouqian, Xianren Well, and Windmill Garden, which he said were ideal for artistic photos.
Tong Xi's friends noted Lin Nanyi's kindness, comparing him favorably to Wei Ze, whose behavior had significantly lowered her opinion of him. Tong Xi confided in Tao Zhu that Wei Ze was completely different from what she had imagined, declaring her unwavering dedication to Guru Qing He.
Meanwhile, to cheer up Tao Zhu, who had been feeling down since the May Day holiday, Wang Yiming created a mock fan meeting at home, signing a comic for her as Qing He and giving her a pig keychain. Tong Xi returned to Xi Hai with a haul of Qing He merchandise. She presented Lin Nanyi with a special signed comic that read, "To Lin Nanyi, Be Happy.
It's good to have you around," which she had personally requested from Qing He. Lin Nanyi was overjoyed by this thoughtful gesture, secretly smiling to himself about the irony. When Tao Zhu later saw a photo of Tong Xi with Qing He, she commented on Qing He's similar physique to Lin Nanyi, but Tong Xi swiftly dismissed the idea, continuing to laud Qing He.
Tao Zhu, deciding not to continue with the Drama Club after not being selected for a role, began learning basketball with Wang Yiming. She noticed a significant change in Wang Yiming's demeanor; he was unusually patient and even apologized when he inadvertently started nagging her. This shift surprised Tao Zhu, who questioned if he had done something to feel guilty about. Wang Yiming then, to her further surprise, asked her what it felt like to fall in love.
One day, after class, Tong Xi went to Lin Nanyi's place with a milk tea. Finding his door ajar, she entered and discovered numerous comic drafts scattered around. Recognizing them instantly as Qing He's work, a stunned Tong Xi realized the truth. As Lin Nanyi walked in, Tong Xi confronted him, asking if he was Qing He. He confirmed his identity, leading Tong Xi to let out a surprised yell.
