Sunshine by My Side Episode 29 Recap
> Sunshine by My Side Recap
Sheng Yang, looking dejected, sought out Song Chen and discovered Song Chen had Jian Bing's WeChat contact. Using Song Chen's phone, Sheng Yang messaged Jian Bing, posing as Song Chen to inquire about the status of their latest film. Jian Bing quickly replied, stating she was heading to the filming location. Sheng Yang then realized Jian Bing had been intentionally ignoring his messages. Meanwhile, Jian Shuang managed to find out Jian Bing’s filming location and immediately informed Fang Mu.
Fang Mu, accompanied by Jian Shuang and Hao Junjie, drove to the location, having already reserved a restaurant down the mountain. Jian Shuang expressed her hopes for Fang Mu's success in pursuing Jian Bing, and Fang Mu exuded confidence. Back at the set, Lin Lin, Jian Bing’s assistant, confided in Jian Bing that she had recently broken up with her boyfriend and had developed feelings for Sheng Yang, asking Jian Bing to help facilitate a connection.
Jian Bing, however, warned Lin Lin against such romantic notions and urged her to focus on work. Lin Lin, startled, made a quick joke about loving work before preparing for the next shot. Fang Mu, Jian Shuang, and Hao Junjie soon arrived at the set, intending to wait for Jian Bing to finish filming and join her for dinner. After wrapping up a shot, Jian Bing went to her room to change.
While Fang Mu, Jian Shuang, and Hao Junjie patiently waited outside, Sheng Yang unexpectedly showed up. He feigned concern, claiming his "sister" (Jian Bing’s mother) had sent him to check if Jian Bing had enough warm clothes for working in the cold mountains. He admitted he had pleaded with Lin Lin to reveal Jian Bing's location. Jian Bing was displeased and angrily threatened to fire Lin Lin for divulging her location to him.
Undeterred, Sheng Yang even offered to become Jian Bing's assistant if Lin Lin was dismissed. As Jian Bing took her time getting ready, Jian Shuang prompted Fang Mu to go urge her. Mustering his courage, Fang Mu ascended the stairs but then tumbled down, claiming a backache from the long drive. Jian Shuang loudly called out for Jian Bing.
Sheng Yang, trying to prevent Jian Bing from going to Fang Mu, insisted she stay, even referring to her familiarly as "my little aunt." Jian Bing, however, was determined to go see Fang Mu. Just then, Lin Lin appeared, reminding Jian Bing about the crew's wrap-up red wine barbecue. Fang Mu confirmed he had already booked a restaurant down the mountain.
Seizing the opportunity, Sheng Yang pointed out the heavy fog and unsafe mountain roads, suggesting it would be safer to stay and eat with the crew. After some consideration, Jian Bing agreed to join the crew's barbecue, and Fang Mu’s group, having no other choice, decided to accompany them. At the crew barbecue, Sheng Yang and Fang Mu immediately began competing for Jian Bing's attention, offering her food and drinks.
Jian Shuang formally introduced Fang Mu as the youngest and most promising associate professor from their university's music education department, highly popular among students. In return, Jian Bing introduced Fang Mu to several single female crew members, including Lin Lin, Youyou, and Shanshan. Lin Lin then proposed a game called "I Have, You Don't," where participants drink if they have done something others haven't.
When it was Sheng Yang's turn, he declared, "The person I like is sitting right here at this table," clearly implying Jian Bing, and took a drink. Fang Mu followed, stating, "The person I want to spend my life with is also at this table," also directing his gaze towards Jian Bing, and took a drink. Later, Sheng Yang left with some crew members to get more food.
Fang Mu seized this chance to pull Jian Bing aside for a private conversation. He expressed that they both had "lost their way in life" and he wished to be her "navigator," guiding her back to a normal life and helping to plan her future. Jian Bing politely rejected his advances, explaining that she felt she had not been lost, believing her chosen path was the right one and that she had already found her desired direction.
She added that, especially given her career and personality, she preferred not to have her life planned out. Despite the rejection, Fang Mu insisted he understood her desire to focus on work and still hoped to become a part of her life without disturbing her career. He then suddenly felt unwell, attributing it to drinking too fast and the cold mountain air. Jian Bing, concerned, helped him return to the main group.
As Sheng Yang came back with the food, he noticed Jian Bing and Fang Mu had been talking privately, which visibly displeased him. Jian Shuang, worried about Fang Mu and curious about the situation, decided to pull Hao Junjie along to find Jian Bing and Fang Mu. Jian Bing eventually excused herself from the party, with Sheng Yang and Fang Mu quickly following. Fang Mu confirmed his luxurious suite was in Zone A of the hotel.
Jian Bing and Sheng Yang, however, proceeded towards Zone B, indicating they were staying in separate sections and not on the same path. Fang Mu watched, pounding his chest and stomping his feet in frustration, as Sheng Yang walked off with Jian Bing. Meanwhile, Jian Shuang and Hao Junjie, unable to find Jian Bing and Fang Mu, sat down by the roadside to rest. Hao Junjie confessed his feelings for Jian Shuang.
Jian Shuang, a staunch advocate for single life, argued that love was a "luxury" and that enjoying its sweetness inevitably led to bitterness and pain. Citing Adam and Eve's fall into a "sea of suffering" due to love, she declared her preference for remaining single for "safety," believing it unnecessary. Hao Junjie countered that she was "timid" in matters of love, unlike her boldness on the ice hockey rink. He then leaned in and kissed her.
Startled, Jian Shuang immediately fled, inadvertently dropping her crutch, which revealed her leg had completely healed and she no longer needed it. Hao Junjie called out her name repeatedly as she ran away.
