> Take My Brother Away Recap
The school basketball team's game is about to start, and Teacher Tian is showing unusual nervousness. A student interviews Teacher Tian but is reprimanded by her for disrespecting women by calling her 'ma'am,' and the interviewing student is so angry that she starts to cry. Teacher Tian then reprimands Teacher Lu who tries to mediate, the old security guard who has a crush on the school doctor, and Wang Keke who is crashing the red carpet.
Meanwhile, Zhen Kaixin doesn't even want to go to school because of the game, and his mom persuades him to overcome his inner demons. At Shi Fen's house, Shi Miao unexpectedly prepares a chicken leg for Shi Fen and gives him her lucky bracelet. Shi Fen takes a bus to school. His classmate Wan Sui comes to cheer him on. Shi Fen encourages the players, saying he will lead them to win the game.
On her way to school, Shi Miao sees a madman fall down. When she gets to school, her brakes fail and she crashes into the old gatekeeper, causing her to be late. The old gatekeeper goes to the school doctor for his injury, intentionally claiming he has an internal injury. The school doctor massages the old man's shoulders, and the two share a warm moment.
It's not until a school announcement is made that the school doctor remembers she has forgotten about the basketball game. Zhen Kaixin is accused by his entire class of lacking collectivism. Zhen Kaixin is in agony and asks to wear headphones, but is refused by Teacher Lu. The school basketball team is preparing for the game.
Cheng Haonan recognizes the leader of the opposing team from the Vocational Auto Repair School, Xu Dayu, as the head of the 'Twelve Young Masters of Vocational High'. He is handsome, and rumor has it that he is ruthless, arrogant, and notorious. That was until he met a professional coach who changed him. He found himself in basketball, and only then did he realize that real strength lies not in fists, but in the basketball.
As the host, Wang Keke vividly tells the touching story of the professional coach's heart bypass surgery. The others are so moved they are all in tears. The entire regular high school even stands up to cheer for the vocational team. Shi Fen can't help but suspect that this Xu Dayu is the real protagonist. Miao Miaomiao analyzes Shi Miao's bad luck for the day, concluding that anyone who comes into contact with her becomes unlucky.
Shi Miao can't help but think of the bracelet she gave to Shi Fen. On the court, Shi Fen is losing ground, while the vocational team advances step by step. What's worse, his teammates think the vocational team is pitiful and needs the win more. The first half ends with the vocational team leading the regular team 45 to 23. Seeing this, Shi Fen begins to tell his own tragic story.
Shi Miao arrives at the court, snatches the lucky bracelet from Shi Fen's hand, and puts it on Xu Dayu. This infuriates Shi Fen, who curses Shi Miao for siding with the enemy, but at the same time, Shi Fen's morale soars. And on the court, he continuously plays dirty by exploiting the game rules he had studied beforehand, wearing down the opponent's morale.
The regular team takes advantage of the vocational team's fatigue to create opportunities and stage a comeback. But Shi Fen suddenly falls and gets injured while fighting for a rebound with Xu Dayu. Wan Xing goes to the school clinic to find the doctor, but only sees the old gatekeeper. The old gatekeeper bandages Wan Xing's wound. Zhen Kaixin suddenly bursts into the clinic, also looking for the doctor. Zhen Kaixin feels immense pain and suddenly hugs the old gatekeeper.
The old gatekeeper fails to console Zhen Kaixin, but Wan Xing's words make him have an epiphany. Wan Xing tells Zhen Kaixin he should distract himself with his emotions and find people and things that make him happy. Full of vigor, Zhen Kaixin rushes out of the school clinic. Shi Fen claims he is injured everywhere, and the coach suggests he withdraw from the game, but Shi Fen asks the coach to wait a little longer.
Sure enough, Zhen Kaixin rushes onto the court and demands to play! Shi Fen runs up and hugs Zhen Kaixin. The coach agrees to let Zhen Kaixin rejoin the team. Zhen Kaixin's mom accidentally gets into a taxi driven by Shi Fen's dad. The school basketball game is being broadcast on the taxi's radio. Hearing that Zhen Kaixin is playing, his mom is very displeased and asks to turn it off.
But Shi Fen's dad begs to keep listening to the broadcast. In his eyes, this basketball game is especially important because it's the first time his son is a starting player on the team. In the second half of the school basketball game, the competition becomes white-hot. Zhen Kaixin's mom also arrives at the bustling basketball court. She sits in the stands, watching her son play. On the court, Zhen Kaixin is full of energy.
All of this seems to affect his mom, who actually gives him a thumbs-up. Zhen Kaixin's adrenaline surges, and his performance reaches its peak. At this moment, He Ermeng suddenly collapses from exhaustion, and Shi Fen is ordered onto the court by the coach. The two brothers are reunited, displaying perfect teamwork. After school, Zhen Kaixin's fans also flood in to cheer for the regular team. Suddenly, Shi Fen gets injured.
Shi Miao comes to console him, but is met with a cold stare from him. His glory is only for now. He must get on the court, he must win! The regular team walks onto the court aggressively. The game starts again. This time, Shi Fen wants to make a slam dunk! On the other end of the broadcast, Shi Fen's dad shouts, "That's my boy!"
