Sweet Tai Chi Episode 2 Recap
> Sweet Tai Chi Recap
Tan Lin was furious upon learning that his subordinates, the boxing "Seventh Son," had been defeated by a mysterious female Tai Chi master who single-handedly prevented them from defeating Wei Chu. Surprised that such a master existed in the current Tai Chi department, Tan Lin immediately ordered his men to find her. At the same time, to prevent future complications, Tan Lin openly proposed the abolition of the Tai Chi department at a meeting, citing insufficient members.
President Bai Haiyang immediately objected, promising to achieve results to prove the Tai Chi department's indispensability. Meanwhile, Feng Piaopiao was determined to keep her Tai Chi skills a secret, having learned them from her grandfather, who had once betrayed the Tai Chi sect. She also wanted to maintain her gentle and refined image among her peers. After submitting a painting to her teacher, she encountered a senior student, Jin Rou, who harbored a strong crush on Wei Chu.
Jin Rou deliberately gave Feng Piaopiao incorrect directions to Wei Chu’s whereabouts and then instructed her friend, Ai Jia, to secretly photograph Feng Piaopiao. Wei Chu, at a waterfall, was contemplating his doctor's grim warning that continuing to fight in his current physical condition would only delay his recovery or even destroy him. Wei Chu, however, felt compelled by an old grudge with Baqimen that would persist as long as the Tai Chi system existed.
Feng Piaopiao eventually found Wei Chu and, frustrated by his non-committal response regarding her secret, playfully pinned him against a tree, jokingly threatening to "kill" him if he revealed her Tai Chi skills. Wei Chu, suppressing a smile, agreed to consider her request, though Feng Piaopiao declared it settled. This dramatic "wall-dong" moment was secretly captured by Ai Jia.
Back in her dorm, Feng Piaopiao’s friend, Xiao Xiao, informed her of "big news": the "wall-dong" photo of Feng Piaopiao and Wei Chu had been published on the campus news page. Enraged, Feng Piaopiao decided to confront the editorial office, but Xiao Xiao managed to calm her down with snacks. Later, Ai Jia publicly confronted Feng Piaopiao, showing the published photo and accusing her of inappropriate behavior for a lady of Shangxiang College.
However, Wei Chu, hidden nearby, subtly knocked Ai Jia’s phone to the ground. When it was picked up, it revealed numerous hidden photos of Feng Piaopiao, exposing Ai Jia as the true instigator, likely acting on Jin Rou’s behalf to discredit Feng Piaopiao. The plan backfired, transforming the intended scandal into widespread gossip that Feng Piaopiao and Wei Chu were a couple, much to Jin Rou's fury, as she believed Wei Chu was "hers alone."
Wei Chu then approached a tearful Feng Piaopiao, dismissing the rumors by stating that "rumors stop at wise men," meaning no explanation was needed. He did, however, promise to keep her Tai Chi skills a secret, acknowledging her earlier help, but then abruptly told her not to see him again, preferring to avoid further complications. One and a half years later, Wei Chu returned to the Tai Chi department, not to truly rejoin, but to return his captain's badge.
Despite everyone's fervent pleas for him to stay and fight for the department's survival, Wei Chu resolutely left. Tai Chi members had excitedly greeted him, recalling his past glory and sacrifices that earned him many honors for the department, and lamented its decline since his departure, noting its poor performance in competitions and the dwindling number of students, warning that the department faced abolition if numbers dropped further.
Later, a sudden heavy rain fell, and Feng Piaopiao and Wei Chu coincidentally took shelter under the same roof. Seeing Feng Piaopiao shivering and sneezing due to her thin clothing, Wei Chu thoughtfully took off his jacket and gave it to her, as a repayment for her righteous help during the previous fight.
After returning to her dorm, Feng Piaopiao immediately took out an iron, intending to iron Wei Chu's jacket dry before returning it, but accidentally ironed a large hole in it. Separately, Bai Haiyang called Wei Chu (on the phone), informing him that the "Seventh Son of boxing" was actively searching for the "mysterious Tai Chi master with one enemy and seven enemies," which Bai Haiyang considered an obvious provocation.
He asked Wei Chu to return, but Wei Chu dismissed it as "none of his business" and ended the call. Feng Piaopiao took the damaged jacket to Wei Chu to apologize and also enthusiastically asked if he needed her help for the Boxing Department's upcoming match. However, Wei Chu coldly stated that he would handle it himself, making Feng Piaopiao feel awkward.
The Boxing Department's "Seventh Son" then formally issued a battle challenge to the Tai Chi department, proposing a match in one week where the losing side would transfer five members to the winner. Bai Haiyang, understanding this was a deliberate attempt to dismantle the Tai Chi department, bravely accepted the challenge, though he added that if the boxing department lost, they would have to issue a public apology.
Upon learning that neither the mysterious woman nor Wei Chu had appeared, Tan Lin, still intent on Tai Chi's demise, explicitly ordered his subordinates to prevent Bai Haiyang from participating in the upcoming competition. The following day in class, Feng Piaopiao was still worried about the "sky-high price" of Wei Chu's jacket, which she had accidentally damaged. Later, at the cafeteria, Bai Haiyang generously paid for Xiao Xiao's meal when she forgot her card.
Shortly after, members of the Boxing Department approached Bai Haiyang, taunting him about the upcoming match and Tai Chi's bleak prospects without Wei Chu. They then covertly slipped a substance into his drink, causing him to collapse in severe abdominal pain. He was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance that Xiao Xiao quickly called. News of the Tai Chi department's potential abolition if they lost the match reached Feng Piaopiao.
Despite her grandfather's strict instructions to keep her Tai Chi skills hidden, she decided to attend the challenge match, convincing herself she would merely observe. The competition, a "10 to 10 wheel wars," began. The Tai Chi team was visibly anxious about Bai Haiyang’s sudden absence, as he was their pillar. A male team member bravely stepped up to fight, but without Bai Haiyang, the team quickly lost four consecutive matches, leaving them in a desperate situation with few remaining fighters.
