The Comic Bang Episode 13 Recap
> The Comic Bang Recap
Although Zuo Qiandai had been deliberately trying to keep her distance from Ye Qi, even while sitting in class preparing for the lesson, she couldn’t help but constantly think about him deep down, though she refused to admit it. When the teacher came in to start class and began roll call, he only called Zuo Qiandai’s name. Looking up, he realized she was the only student present.
Learning that the rest had gone to watch the open audition, the teacher told Zuo Qiandai to call them all back. Zuo Qiandai believed such a good performance deserved Ye Qi’s presence, so she was reluctant to go, but was forced to under the teacher's pressure. Lu Dao’s younger sister, Lu Li, began to grow suspicious after seeing Lu Dao and Gu Zhengxing interacting.
Lu Dao hurriedly tried to explain, but Lu Li still believed there was something going on between them. Gu Zhengxing invited Lu Li to act in a play and even asked her to play the female lead. Lu Dao tried to help her refuse, but Lu Li readily agreed. Gu Zhengxing noticed that Lu Li’s legs looked quite similar to those in the photo, though there were still some slight differences.
Zuo Qiandai was touched by the performance and called all the students back to class. From Gu Zhengxing’s mouth, she learned that Ye Qi had bought a gift for her, but she pretended not to care. Lu Li greatly admired Ye Qi’s work and even considered him her idol, so she approached him to chat. The two sat beside the flower bed talking.
Zuo Qiandai, thinking about Ye Qi’s gift and believing that he had a change of heart, was overjoyed as she walked, only to come across Ye Qi and Lu Li together, which led to a misunderstanding. Ye Qi was thrilled to see Zuo Qiandai and tried to give her the gift he had prepared. However, Zuo Qiandai, furious, knocked it away and ran off. It began to rain heavily. Ye Qi stayed home, pondering Zuo Qiandai’s heartbreak and depression.
Chai Ziyu, Jiang Ruosong, and Gu Zhengxing all came to Ye Qi’s house to take shelter from the rain. At the same time, Lu Dao and Zhou Jieyue also ran to Zuo Qiandai’s house for the same reason, and everyone began discussing topics about boys and girls. Lu Dao happened to ask about Jiang Ruosong’s current job, and Zhou Jieyue messaged him to inquire. Meanwhile, Ye Qi and the others were talking about manga.
They all met because they helped Ye Qi with his manga, though none of the boys were willing to admit they had drawn manga. Jiang Ruosong misunderstood and gave Zhou Jieyue a short response, which made her anxious enough to consider calling the police. Zuo Qiandai knew what the boys were doing, but since they didn’t want her to reveal anything, she kept trying to calm Zhou Jieyue and Lu Dao.
Ye Qi and the others began discussing how girls perceive boys drawing shoujo manga. Gu Zhengxing originally thought girls might find it cool, but then Zuo Qiandai sent a message saying it was an embarrassing job. This caused more misunderstandings, as the boys assumed all girls thought it shameful. Since the rain didn’t stop, the three boys decided to spend the night at Ye Qi’s place, which unexpectedly sparked new inspiration.
To gather more material, Ye Qi kept his friends awake, having them talk about romantic topics. Meanwhile, Zuo Qiandai and the girls were playing games, and even when choosing characters, she couldn’t stop thinking of Ye Qi. Coincidentally, the boys also stayed up to play shoujo games and chat about romance.
