> Sweet First Love Recap
Su Muyun confronted Ouyang Yu at the hospital, questioning his presence and how many times the Ouyang family had been responsible for Su Nianfeng's hospitalization, demanding he stay away from her. Ouyang Yu admitted his negligence, promising it would not happen again, and asked to see her. Su Muyun refused, stating Su Nianfeng was asleep. Ouyang Yu then handed over the Thomas project test report for Su Nianfeng, saying she would be happy to see it, and offered flowers.
Su Muyun took the report but declined the flowers, claiming Su Nianfeng was allergic to them. The next day, as Su Nianfeng prepared for discharge, Su Muyun teased her about her poor domestic skills while helping her pack. She then discovered the Thomas project report in a drawer and realized Ouyang Yu had visited, wondering why he had not entered her room, alluding to the late hour of his visit.
Su Muyun agreed about the late hour, prompting Su Nianfeng to ask why he had not left, to which he replied that he stayed to help her pack. Shortly after, Le Diyin arrived, informing Su Nianfeng that his doctor had allowed him to walk around, so he came to congratulate her on her discharge, presenting her with flowers. Su Nianfeng inhaled their fragrance deeply, but Su Muyun quickly took them, claiming they were too heavy for her.
As they walked, Le Diyin and Su Nianfeng conversed happily about her progress in medicine research and her upcoming official participation in the team. Le Diyin also reminded her not to delay psychotherapy, having arranged an appointment with Dr. Ding for her. Meanwhile, Su Muyun trailed behind them, a hint of jealousy on his face, secretly plucking petals from the flowers he held.
Su Nianfeng turned around, noticing the diminishing flowers, and playfully accused Su Muyun of being the culprit, chasing after him to retrieve her flowers. To attract more followers, Liu Zihui complained about losing fans, and although Lin Di offered to register dummy accounts, she refused, emphasizing the difficulty of gaining popularity despite her efforts, as she was busy with her studies.
She shared her discovery of high-quality, affordable local beauty brands, which she found to be comparable to expensive ones, and Lin Di affectionately called her an "expert of local brands." Liu Zihui, dressed in ancient costume, later attempted to conduct a live stream featuring a local brand, Xie Fuchun's duck egg powder. For the stream, she convinced Lin Di to wear a female outfit and allow her to do his makeup, using him as her model.
Despite Lin Di's initial reluctance, the live stream was a success, and their interaction went viral. Afterward, Liu Zihui admitted that being a beauty blogger was tiring, though she enjoyed it and found it important to earn money. Lin Di expressed concern for her health, offering to treat her to a meal. Liu Zihui challenged him to find a restaurant that offered plenty of meat for around 50 RMB per person.
Confidently, Lin Di asserted his "brains" and took her outdoors to prepare a barbecue himself. As they enjoyed the meal, Lin Di accidentally burned his hand. Liu Zihui immediately showed concern, which secretly delighted Lin Di. Surprised by his culinary skills, Liu Zihui praised him, saying he would make a good father.
Lin Di pointed out she had said that before, then playfully asked if she intended to be the mother of his children, causing her to blush and focus on her food. Su Nianfeng visited the psychologist recommended by Le Diyin. Under hypnosis, she vividly recalled her childhood, including moments with her parents and Su Muyun. She remembered Su Muyun protecting her and his wish to be with her forever, even suggesting marriage like their parents.
Later, she recounted these pleasant memories to Le Diyin, admitting that despite calling Su Muyun a "devil," he had always been by her side, never leaving, even when she pushed him away or doubted him. Le Diyin acknowledged Su Muyun's consistent kindness, reassuring her that he was innocent, regardless of the truth, and encouraged her to follow her true feelings. Subsequently, Su Nianfeng sent Su Muyun a text message expressing her thanks.
Su Muyun, who had recently sent her a long message apologizing for not considering her feelings and affirming his love and belief in her academic success, responded by asking what she was thanking him for. She simply replied, "For everything." Su Nianfeng immersed herself completely in the medicine experiment. When she visited Le Diyin at the hospital, he confirmed his health had significantly improved, which made her very happy.
Eager to share the positive news, she called Su Muyun, excitedly telling him that the medicine experiment was about to enter its third phase. However, Su Muyun on the phone asked if she had anything else to tell him besides the experiment update. Before she could respond, he abruptly hung up, stating he was busy. Le Diyin, observing her disappointment, smiled and commented that "boys need to be taken care of too."
Liu Zihui skillfully applied makeup to Su Nianfeng, convincing her to attend the graduation dance party by insisting it was time for Su Nianfeng to "show her true beauty" and put a perfect end to her university life. Dressed beautifully, they arrived at the party, where other students were visibly surprised by Su Nianfeng's stunning transformation, even speculating if she had undergone plastic surgery. Liu Zihui jokingly offered to recommend a good hospital.
Shortly after, Su Muyun arrived and playfully adjusted something Liu Zihui had applied to her, much to Liu Zihui's annoyance. He then led Su Nianfeng to an outdoor terrace, taking off his own jacket and offering it to her. Su Nianfeng pointed out that they were at a graduation dance party and should not be hiding in a corner, adding that while he disliked crowds, she still wanted to dance.
Su Muyun then took off her jacket and, to the music, they began to dance gracefully together. After their dance, Su Muyun leaned in and kissed Su Nianfeng. He then stated he was hungry, prompting her to go inside to find food. Meanwhile, Qin Yao, who was chatting with friends, approached Su Nianfeng. She asked if he was still unhappy about Qi Yuan, to which he replied they had "broken up."
He offered to be her confidant, a "tree hole," as a way to repay her for always helping him when Su Muyun used to bully her. Qin Yao then complimented her, noting how much she had grown up and become more beautiful. He teasingly added that if Su Muyun had not liked her, he would have definitely pursued her himself, then leaned in to wish her happiness. Su Muyun witnessed this entire interaction.
Enraged, he walked over and coldly demanded to know what Su Nianfeng was doing. She tried to explain about Qin Yao, but he curtly cut her off, stating he was "not interested" and that she "did not need to tell him about her life" anymore. He then turned and walked away.
Confused and hurt, Su Nianfeng chased after him, only to see him get into Ouyang Qingxue's car and leave, as Ouyang Qingxue remarked that she would have arrived earlier if she knew he was there and proposed a deal regarding the truth of what happened years ago. Enraged and heartbroken, Su Nianfeng returned to the party, snatched a glass of wine from a table, and quickly downed it.
Sensing her distress, Liu Zihui approached her and suggested they go to a nightclub for a "final carnival" to forget their worries. At the nightclub, they were approached by several men who offered them drinks and invited them to play a dice game.
After a few rounds, Liu Zihui decided she wanted to leave, but the men refused to let them go without paying for the drinks on their table, claiming the drinks were theirs since they were placed there, and revealing they were "ganging up" on them. Still simmering with anger from Su Muyun's earlier departure with Ouyang Qingxue, Su Nianfeng defiantly declared she could handle them alone, then impulsively smashed her glass.
Grabbing Liu Zihui, she rushed into a private room, barricading the door with a sofa. The men pursued them, pounding loudly on the door, leaving the two girls trapped and terrified. Meanwhile, at the Ouyang family residence, Ouyang Qingxue presented Su Muyun with a share transfer agreement, offering him a deal: she would clarify that Su Nianfeng had misunderstood the Su family regarding the past incident, but in return, he must become her boyfriend.
She also offered the Ouyang Group's substantial investment to support his entrepreneurship, calling it "a piece of cake" for her family, and urged him to make the "right decision." Su Muyun, however, rejected the offer, stating he "hated such deals" and attempted to leave. Ouyang Qingxue embraced him from behind, revealing her deep frustration.
She confessed that she had always gotten everything she desired since childhood, with everyone indulging her, but Su Muyun was the only one who repeatedly rejected her, crushing her self-esteem. Despite her excellence, she could not understand why he remained indifferent to her feelings.
