Sweet Teeth Episode 17 Recap
> Sweet Teeth Recap
As the new year began, Ai Jingchu was busy dealing with family dinners, being forced to drink a lot. Amidst the hustle and bustle, he felt a little lonely, wondering how Zeng Li was doing back in her hometown. There wasn't a single greeting on Zeng Li's phone. Does Ai Jingchu really like her? But what did that kiss represent? Ai Jingchu unknowingly walked to the Carroll Cafe.
But as soon as he thought that Yu Yi knew this name, his heart ached. Zeng Li was still agonizing over whether to send Ai Jingchu a New Year's greeting when his call came in. The fireworks were dazzling. After a long silence, Ai Jingchu asked, "Zeng Li, is your heart still there?" After hanging up, there were still tear stains on Ai Jingchu's face, but Zeng Li was happy that Ai Jingchu had finally contacted her.
After the New Year holiday ended, Zeng Li, who hadn't seen Ai Jingchu for over ten days, specially dressed up to see him. Unexpectedly, Zhou Wen told her that Ai Jingchu was going to Africa for medical aid soon. Zeng Li's joyful heart was doused with cold water. Was she just a patient in Ai Jingchu's eyes? Zeng Li spoke in a flustered manner about the conditions in Africa.
She was even more surprised to learn that Ai Jingchu had volunteered himself. If she hadn't come for the follow-up check, would she have remained completely unaware until Ai Jingchu left? Seeing the tears in Zeng Li's eyes, Ai Jingchu felt a little flustered. He wanted to ask her to dinner that evening to explain this matter, but Zeng Li left. This was something Ai Jingchu had decided, so what was the point of her knowing?
Zeng Li thought Ai Jingchu wasn't contacting her because he had misunderstood her relationship with Yu Yi. But seeing his current actions, perhaps he genuinely didn't care at all. Zeng Li was on the phone with Ma Yiyi when she saw Ma Xiaobing passing by. She quickly chased after him but accidentally fell off her bicycle and hit her chin. A passerby helped call her emergency contact, Ai Jingchu.
After Ai Jingchu arrived and saw the semi-conscious Zeng Li, he quickly took her to the hospital, calling Wu Ying on the way to tell her to prepare. Zeng Li's wound needed stitches, but it was a minor procedure and didn't require going to the operating room. Ai Jingchu's suturing technique was excellent, so Wu Ying asked him to do it. However, Zeng Li was, after all, the person Ai Jingchu loved.
Faced with this scene, Ai Jingchu truly couldn't bring himself to do it. Wu Ying took over suturing Zeng Li's wound. Ai Jingchu held her hand from the side, and Zeng Li felt extremely secure. Deng Haoran and Ma Yiyi went to the welfare home to ask about Ma Xiaobing. Ma Xiaobing had indeed returned to his hometown because he was worried about his seriously ill grandfather. Ma Yiyi was busy on the phone.
After tracking dirt onto the floor, she was sent to mop it. While Ma Yiyi was feeling down, she heard a little girl crying in the restroom and took her to find a teacher. The "big brother" who had asked her to mop the floor earlier also added her on WeChat. Ma Yiyi initially wasn't interested, but seeing Deng Haoran walking over, she agreed with a mischievous sense of humor.
All the way, Ma Yiyi chatted happily on WeChat, and Deng Haoran couldn't stop feeling jealous. After Ai Jingchu sent Zeng Li home, he carefully finished preparing her medicine and put it in the refrigerator. Zeng Li woke up from a nap, swung her two fair legs out to the living room to get a drink of water, and turned to find Ai Jingchu sitting on the sofa, so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Zeng Li ran back to her room to put on pants, worrying that Ai Jingchu might misunderstand her. Ai Jingchu stared at the book without turning a single page; his mind had long since drifted elsewhere. Ai Jingchu was afraid Zeng Li would be hungry when she woke up, so he made something for her to eat. After serving the soup, he prepared to leave.
Looking at the home filled with a sense of everyday life, Zeng Li quickly called out to Ai Jingchu and explained about her and Yu Yi. She admitted that she used to like Yu Yi very much, but recently she realized she was no longer the girl she used to be. Zeng Li had wanted to make it clear to Ai Jingchu when she went for the follow-up check this morning that the person she liked wasn't Yu Yi.
Before Zeng Li could finish her confession, the soup boiled over, and Ai Jingchu's attention was also diverted. After turning off the heat, Ai Jingchu held Zeng Li's chin and instructed her to be careful during this period. During the New Year, Ai Jingchu had asked Zeng Li if her heart was still there, and if it was, he would take it away. Ai Jingchu gently kissed Zeng Li. This kiss lingered in Zeng Li's thoughts until the evening.
Ma Yiyi and Wu Ying were force-fed a mouthful of "dog food." Ai Jingchu, who went home for dinner, learned a delicious dish from Ai Xiaogu. The next day, he made it and sent it to Zeng Li's home.
