Take My Brother Away Episode 17 Recap
> Take My Brother Away Recap
At the moment Shi Fen slam-dunked, he couldn't help but recall two years ago. Shi Fen and Hao Ren were working at a crayfish restaurant. That day, a few customers from Fuyou High School came. They offered a huge profit, only asking Shi Fen to put stimulants into the opposing team's star player's water bottle. That star player was Zhen Kaixin.
After the customers left, Shi Fen packed up the food they didn't eat and brought it back for Shi Miao. But when he got home, he saw that his dad had broken his sobriety and was drunk again. Shi Fen was furious. After blaming his father, he left in anger. Shi Fen and Shi Miao talked about their father quitting drinking. It was hard for their father to quit, perhaps because it's hard to stick to anything.
The next day, Shi Fen and Hao Ren went to Mengmeng Park, a place Zhen Kaixin always visited, ready to put the drug in his water. However, they were interrupted multiple times by Zhen Kaixin throwing his ball over while he tried to get a drink. Hao Ren, refusing to give up, went to block for Shi Fen, but Zhen Kaixin's ball still ended up in Shi Fen's hands as always. The two of them were frustrated.
Just then, Zhen Kaixin came over to them. While Shi Fen was talking to Zhen Kaixin, Hao Ren took the water. Zhen Kaixin told Shi Fen that persistence is the easiest thing. Shi Fen thought of his own father, and the completely different attitude moved him. Just then, as Zhen Kaixin was about to drink the water, Shi Fen stopped him. In the end, Shi Fen and Zhen Kaixin teamed up and forced Hao Ren to drink the drugged water.
During the match between the Fuyou team and the Pingfan team, Shi Fen discovered that Zhen Kaixin could hear his inner monologue. Both of them were pleasantly surprised. Shi Fen confessed his inner thoughts to Zhen Kaixin. The reason he said Zhen Kaixin would lose was because the Fuyou team had bribed the referee, and even the Most Valuable Player had been decided to be Sun Binbin. Hearing this, Zhen Kaixin was extremely disappointed.
Seeing this, Shi Fen righteously offered to take care of the corrupt referee himself. He then asked Hao Ren for the stimulants, gave them to the people from No. 2 High School, and told them the referee was corrupt. So, the people from No. 2 High School drugged the referee, and No. 2 High School won the game. And the PE teacher, Teacher Tian, who had experience refereeing basketball, took over as the new referee.
To celebrate the victory, Shi Fen prepared a cake for Zhen Kaixin. He called over Shi Miao and asked her to draw a portrait of Zhen Kaixin on the cake. Just after seeing Shi Miao off, people from Fuyou High School came to pick a fight with Shi Fen. You Le, an unattractive girl, was passing by and started screaming from the sidelines. Shi Fen was terrified. He then heard someone call out 'Brother Sui'.
It turned out the people from Fuyou High School had run into Wan Sui. They were very respectful in front of Wan Sui and reported the whole matter to him. However, Wan Sui told the Fuyou people to be more tolerant. Sun Binbin was unhappy about being targeted, and after being mocked by Wan Xing, the people from Fuyou High School left. Shi Fen walked out pushing the cake and bumped into You Le.
You Le said hello to Shi Fen. At that time, Zhen Kaixin had won the Most Valuable Player award. The team members were all celebrating for Zhen Kaixin, and Shi Fen also came in pushing the cake. The two of them sat on the basketball court and chatted. Shi Fen talked about his dream. He likes ships, and he hoped to have a ship that could take his friends out to sea. Zhen Kaixin offered to be his first mate.
The two of them talked until evening before parting ways. Before leaving, Shi Fen asked Zhen Kaixin about his high school entrance exam choice. Back in the present, Shi Fen still failed to make the dunk due to a moment's hesitation. He walked towards Zhen Kaixin step by step, his eyes filled with tears, in extreme pain. Zhen Kaixin's eyes also welled up with tears.
For Zhen Kaixin, it was possible that he really wouldn't be able to play basketball anymore. Shi Fen apologized to Zhen Kaixin for ruining his last game. Zhen Kaixin hugged Shi Fen, not blaming him at all. Without him, he wouldn't have had this last game; without Shi Fen, he would have given up basketball for academics long ago. Just then, Zhen Kaixin's mother stood behind them and told him to play basketball for another semester.
Zhen Kaixin cried with joy. At that moment, Wan Sui and Wan Xing stood on the court celebrating with a banner. Afterward, every classmate who blamed Shi Fen for showing off was beaten up by Shi Miao. On the basketball court, Xu Dayu from the professional team stood next to Shi Fen holding a bouquet of flowers.
Xu Dayu enthusiastically wanted to be friends with Shi Fen, simply because Shi Fen respected him, but he was told to get in line. Because Wan Sui and Wan Xing were standing in front of him. As Xu Dayu turned around, Shi Fen took the lucky bracelet Shi Miao had given to Xu Dayu, but he acknowledged Xu Dayu, telling him to use his name if he ever came to play ball here in the future.
Shi Fen and Shi Miao went home and once again saw their drunken father. The two of them silently blamed their father for coming all the way to the basketball arena today but not even going inside to watch. Shi Fen's father suddenly hugged Shi Fen and shouted, "This is my son!" Although Shi Fen's dad didn't go into the arena today, he watched the entire game. And this time, he was drinking to celebrate and to watch their game.
