Sunshine by My Side Episode 13 Recap
> Sunshine by My Side Recap
Sheng Yang arrived early at the film site, eager to observe and learn from Jian Bing. Though Jian Bing initially questioned his presence, she agreed, stating it was her duty to serve the client. She introduced Sheng Yang to her assistant, Lin, and instructed Lin to teach him the basics of a film set. Jian Bing quickly immersed herself in her work, demonstrating calm and authoritative control.
She guided an actress portraying a woman in labor, emphasizing that the beauty of childbirth lies in the raw effort, not makeup. Captivated by her professionalism, Sheng Yang diligently took notes on filming techniques and even showed familiarity with set etiquette, like not sitting on lens boxes and understanding the classification of props versus costumes. He confirmed he was the client for the "July Advertisement" project and had written the script himself.
Later, Lin confided in Sheng Yang about Jian Bing's demanding career, explaining that despite her talent, she often faced harsh criticism from clients and brands. Lin also revealed Jian Bing’s severe stomach problems, caused by irregular meals and the cold, oily food on set. Hearing this, Sheng Yang left, rushing home to prepare a proper meal for her. Liang Shanshan called Jian Bing, suggesting an evening of shopping, dinner, and a spa.
Once filming wrapped, Jian Bing left to meet her. Sheng Yang returned to the set with the food he prepared, only for Lin to inform him that Jian Bing had already left with another "boss," leaving him disappointed. Over dinner, Jian Bing noticed Liang Shanshan was distracted and unusually sensitive, though Liang Shanshan denied it. She casually mentioned she had lent Jian Bing's recording studio to one of Jian Shuang’s classmates for a day.
This, combined with Liang Shanshan's strange behavior and her subsequent lavish gift of expensive clothes, made Jian Bing highly suspicious that she was hiding something. Despite being questioned directly, Liang Shanshan remained evasive and instead took Jian Bing to a bar with a large group of friends. Meanwhile, Sheng Yang's colleagues pressured him into treating them to Luosifen noodles to celebrate his promotion to chief designer.
While at the bar, a bored Jian Bing saw Sheng Yang's social media post and invited him to join them. Sheng Yang declined, citing an early workday, but they began texting, with him sharing his admiration for her work on set earlier. At home, Sheng Xiangqian’s attempts to reconcile with Luo Meijuan, including a clumsy analogy to the Lantern Festival, were met with a cold shoulder.
Later, while picking her up from the supermarket, he witnessed a rude customer cut in line and verbally abuse Luo Meijuan, calling her a "lousy vegetable seller." Enraged, Sheng Xiangqian leaped to her defense, driving the man away and threatening to classify him as "harmful garbage." Afterward, he showed Luo Meijuan the advertisement Jian Bing had filmed, praising her performance and reciting the powerful line about a woman's worth: "She only owes herself a happy look."
When Luo Meijuan questioned where he learned such words, he credited Jian Bing. He then offered a sincere, heartfelt apology, admitting his failure to empathize with her and acknowledging that her contributions to their family far outweighed his own. Touched by his genuine remorse, Luo Meijuan’s anger melted away, and they reconciled. Sheng Yang and his friend, Song Chen, watched the finished advertisement.
Song Chen was impressed by how beautifully Jian Bing had captured Luo Meijuan's spirit and suggested Sheng Yang treat Jian Bing to a meal, subtly hinting at his deeper feelings for her. Separately, Fang Mu and his nephew, Hao Junjie, arrived at Jian Bing's company, Jian Yi, to use the recording studio. Hao Junjie was instantly captivated by a large photograph of Jian Bing.
As a thank you, Fang Mu brought Jian Bing hand-ground coffee, invited her to dinner, and proposed that his tutor also help her sister, Jian Shuang, an offer Jian Bing gratefully accepted. Just as Jian Bing and Fang Mu were about to leave for dinner, Sheng Yang rushed in. He exuberantly invited Jian Bing to his home, claiming his parents had reconciled thanks to her and were already preparing an eight-course meal to express their gratitude.
Feeling she couldn't refuse such a heartfelt family invitation, Jian Bing apologized to Fang Mu and accepted, promising to treat him another time. Her assistant then called her away to approve an urgent client request for subtitle changes. While she was occupied, Sheng Yang and Fang Mu introduced themselves. Sheng Yang then urgently called his mother, giving her a two-hour heads-up that Jian Bing was coming for an eight-course dinner.
Initially panicking at the sudden request and an empty fridge, Sheng Xiangqian rallied them, treating the challenge like preparing a New Year's feast. Working together with renewed cooperation, the couple scrambled to prepare a lavish meal for their guest.
