Sunshine by My Side Episode 19 Recap
> Sunshine by My Side Recap
Jian Bing confronted Liang Shanshan, asking why she had kept her relationship with Xue Yiming a secret. Liang Shanshan admitted they had been drunk, attributing their encounter to a biological impulse. Jian Bing scoffed, expressing her disappointment and sense of betrayal, especially after her recent divorce. She reminded Liang Shanshan that she had always relied on both of them as her strongest support and now felt as though she had lost them both.
Liang Shanshan profusely apologized, taking full responsibility, but Jian Bing dismissed her apology as a mere public relations tactic and demanded a real explanation. Liang Shanshan then emotionally confessed her long-standing feelings for Xue Yiming. She recalled the moment he introduced Jian Bing as his fiancée while Jian Bing introduced her as a "sworn brother." Liang Shanshan admitted that's when she realized her affection for him but chose to bury it.
Jian Bing brought up a memory of Liang Shanshan physically defending her from an ex-boyfriend. Liang Shanshan explained that this act was deeply meaningful, as it was the first time anyone had ever protected her, solidifying Jian Bing as her only female friend. She tearfully insisted that both Jian Bing and Xue Yiming were the most important people in her life and she never intended to hurt them. Moved by her sincerity, Jian Bing called Xue Yiming into the room.
She told him to treat Liang Shanshan well from now on and affirmed that their company would continue as before, putting the matter to rest. Meanwhile, Hao Junjie was practicing the piano. His uncle, Fang Mu, played an improvisational piece, claiming it was his own composition. Hao Junjie effortlessly played it back and pointed out its flaws. Impressed, Fang Mu gave him a challenging piece, which Hao Junjie performed flawlessly, earning high praise.
As Hao Junjie prepared to go to the ice hockey rink, he offered to help Fang Mu pursue Jian Bing, but Fang Mu was hesitant, fearing another rejection. At the ice hockey rink, Hao Junjie overheard his teammates gossiping about him and Jian Shuang, calling her "sister-in-law." Jian Shuang, wearing headphones, was oblivious to their comments. Upon seeing Hao Junjie, the teammates quickly dispersed.
Hao Junjie joined Jian Shuang for practice, advising her not to take their words to heart, but Jian Shuang was genuinely unconcerned. Sheng Yang received an interview invitation from an advertising agency and was thrilled. He inquired about his background check and learned that Mr. Yu from his former company had highly recommended him, securing him the opportunity. He tried to call Jian Bing to share the good news, but her phone was unreachable.
He then contacted Lin, Jian Bing's assistant, who informed him that the film set urgently needed help. Sheng Yang promptly arrived at the set, finding Jian Bing frustrated because the child actors couldn't visualize animal clouds in the sky. During a break, Sheng Yang's mother was seen expressing concern about his quiet nature. Later, child actor Xu Le playfully asked Sheng Yang if he was the director's boyfriend.
Sheng Yang explained their story wasn't "finished" yet, implying he hadn't won Jian Bing's heart. During an intense practice, Jian Shuang injured her leg and Hao Junjie rushed her to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed a meniscus injury, recommending a month of rest. Distraught, Jian Shuang refused to miss her upcoming competition. She stated she would risk never playing ice hockey again just to participate, especially since Hao Junjie planned to study abroad after graduation.
Back on set, with the child actors still struggling, Sheng Yang stepped into the artificial rain and began waving animal pictures. This instantly captured the children's attention, and the shoot was completed successfully, leaving Sheng Yang drenched. Afterward, Jian Bing invited Sheng Yang to dinner. He suggested Luosifen noodles, but she took him to an upscale restaurant. When Sheng Yang tried to pay, Jian Bing stopped him, saying he was too "young" to treat her.
She asked about his job search, and he offered to create the special effects for her film. He quoted a surprisingly low fee of 8,000 yuan, promising to keep her updated and allowing her to cancel if unsatisfied. She agreed, and he reminded her she owed him another meal. When he once again requested Luosifen, she playfully agreed to treat him to a "hotchpotch" version, which he interpreted as a full month of Luosifen.
