Sweet Teeth Episode 12 Recap
> Sweet Teeth Recap
After saying goodbye to Deng Haoran and Ma Yiyi, Ai Jingchu drove Zeng Li home. Zeng Li stretched and glanced at the time, exclaiming that she had to rush to Yancheng early tomorrow morning. Ai Jingchu was curious as Zeng Li had never mentioned writing novels, but she decided not to say for now, only stating that she was going for book exchanges.
Ai Jingchu recalled a guy getting very close to her when she was dancing earlier and felt a bit jealous. Zeng Li leaned closer, took a sniff, and laughed. Ai Jingchu wanted to confess again, but his distraction almost caused him to hit the car in front.
The girl on the radio show was saying that the man's confession was too casual, so Zeng Li complained about some of her previous blind dates, remarking that people's affection now is too casual. Ai Jingchu secretly made up his mind to give Zeng Li a more formal confession. Deng Haoran's girlfriend was a bit angry when she heard he was accompanying his sister and female friend again.
Ma Yiyi thoughtfully suggested he go back to his girlfriend, but Deng Haoran didn't want to go back and be nagged. In fact, Ma Yiyi understood his girlfriend very well. Similarly, Deng Haoran also understood Sheng Ming very well, but he was also worried that Ma Yiyi would be deceived. Liu Yucheng came running to the gym to find Ai Jingchu to work out. The two talked about their recent relationship problems.
Ai Jingchu had also only recently discovered that women's way of thinking was different from theirs. Liu Yucheng advised him to plan his confession carefully. Ai Jingchu openly admitted it, and Liu Yucheng was very touched. This showed that he treated him like a brother. Besides being moved, he also decided to be a good wingman for Ai Jingchu.
When Ai Jingchu was troubled about how to confess, he thought of the anime story he told Zeng Li when he was having his tooth pulled, so he looked everywhere for an old-fashioned mobile phone. Ai Jingchu was in a good mood and took a picture of the clouds to send to Zeng Li, who had just landed in Yancheng. Seeing the crowds of readers downstairs, Zeng Li felt like backing out.
The editor had originally only sold twenty or thirty tickets, but Zeng Li's popularity far exceeded expectations. Ai Jingchu didn't know Zeng Li was there for a signing. After hearing she was nervous, he said that he did twenty squats the first time he gave a speech. It sounded funny but was truly effective. With only ten minutes left before the start, Zeng Li chose to trust Ai Jingchu.
After looking around to make sure no one was watching, she did twenty squats to relieve the pressure. With a stiff smile and trembling legs, Zeng Li was pushed onto the signing stage by the editor. The enthusiastic readers below the stage started asking questions to Zeng Li, whose pen name was "Carroll". "
The Story of Little Yu and Little Fish" was the story of Zeng Li's crush on Yu Yi, but she didn't expect that the prototype had been thoroughly dug up by readers. Facing the readers' imaginative questions, Zeng Li awkwardly denied that she had never been in a relationship. However, the readers didn't pay attention to Zeng Li's explanation of "This is just made up," and even encouraged her to bravely pursue Yu Yi.
Wu Ying continuously rejected Liu Yucheng's game invitations and even uninstalled the game. Zeng Li's phone was unreachable, so Wu Ying said she would go accompany Ma Yiyi through her breakup period, but she didn't expect Ma Yiyi to be busy with work and have no time for her at all. Doctor Jiang called and said he was downstairs at Wu Ying's place and wanted to take her archery.
After the signing ended, Zeng Li was having fun and playing around, and didn't forget to send a photo to report to Ai Jingchu, who was preparing lessons. Ai Jingchu uncharacteristically went to a snack street and ate grilled cold noodles, but Zeng Li sent a completely dark photo. She was in the hotel watching a horror movie with the editor. The editor got scared and immediately ran off.
At this moment, the lights in the room flickered, and Zeng Li's rich imagination scared her into hiding under the covers and sending a message to Ai Jingchu for help. Zeng Li really wanted to know what happened next, so Ai Jingchu made a voice call and said he would watch with her, sacrificing his twice-weekly flexible time for it.
Watching the horror movie remotely, Ai Jingchu told Zeng Li stories over the phone, as if even the ghosts had eaten their fill of dog food and crawled back into the TV. At that moment, Zeng Li felt as if Ai Jingchu was truly by her side. After getting comfortable in their own places, Ai Jingchu and Zeng Li said goodnight to each other and fell asleep.
The next day, Ai Jingchu went to the library to borrow books, but Wu Wanxia told him that Zeng Li was sick and had taken leave. But hadn't Zeng Li said she was assigned to go on a business trip to Yancheng? It was only when he saw photos of Zeng Li's signing event on Weibo that Ai Jingchu suddenly realized that there were so many things about Zeng Li that he didn't know.
Ai Jingchu checked out a book with a bright pink cover, "The Story of Little Yu and Little Fish," which didn't match his temperament at all. Flipping open the book, Zeng Li's story slowly unfolded before Ai Jingchu. Her parents' extremely flamboyant personalities created Zeng Li's extremely quiet personality. They lived in a demolition house in the city, and the courtyard was often rented out for others to hold funerals.
In the last year of junior high, Zeng Li studied alone, went home alone, and prayed every day when she reached her doorstep that her parents wouldn't argue today. But things always went against her wishes. The sound of her parents arguing attracted various looks from the neighbors. Ai Jingchu felt as if he saw the helpless Zeng Li from when she was a child, and his heart ached. Zeng Li, was this how you grew up? Tears dripped onto the paper. Ai Jingchu flipped to the next chapter. Mom asked the neighbor's child to tutor her, and that's how Yu Yi walked into Zeng Li's world.
