> The Comic Bang Recap

Zuo Qiandai hid in the bathroom watching old videos criticizing Ye Qi’s manga. She felt she had been too harsh and wanted to make it up to him. So, she proposed a “no-phone challenge” with Ye Qi and Chai Ziyu—if nothing went wrong, it meant Ye Qi’s manga was right; if something did, her criticisms were justified. Zhou Jieyue also saw the challenge online and thought it was exciting.

Coincidentally, Jiang Ruosong came to find her, and she decided to try the challenge with him as well. Because Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai had no phones, they couldn't find each other. A man selling counterfeit phones spotted Ye Qi searching and tried to sell him one but got arrested. Jiang Ruosong went to the mall to find Zhou Jieyue but had no idea where to look. Zhou Jieyue used the mall broadcast system to tell him her location.

Zuo Qiandai wandered into a dessert shop, thinking Ye Qi wouldn’t be there, only to find him waiting for her. They were happy to see each other, confirming they both tried their best to find one another. Ye Qi wanted to buy her a cake but had no cash, and neither did Zuo Qiandai. Ye Qi offered his autograph instead, but the shop owner didn’t recognize him and had security escort them out.

With no phones and no money, Ye Qi decided to earn some cash using his skills. Zhou Jieyue and Jiang Ruosong went to a movie, but Jiang Ruosong was uncomfortable with Zhou Jieyue’s carefree attitude. Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai drew portraits for customers—Zuo Qiandai’s wasn’t well-received, but Ye Qi’s was appreciated. Zhou Jieyue watched movies differently from others. She even fell asleep on Jiang Ruosong’s lap, and afterward, her recap of the plot missed the main points entirely.

Jiang Ruosong thought she was doing it on purpose to humiliate him. Zhou Jieyue, seeing his reaction, felt it was a challenge and believed Jiang Ruosong might be interested in her. Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai had a great day without their phones, only to suddenly remember they had forgotten about Chai Ziyu—who was now at the police station, having been caught up with the counterfeit phone seller.

They went to pick him up and, on the bus ride back, Ye Qi reflected on the day and felt his manga was flawed. Zuo Qiandai and Chai Ziyu comforted him, but Ye Qi couldn’t shake the belief that Gong Shihei’s online critiques were right. Wanting to rebuild his confidence, Zuo Qiandai finally admitted that she was the person behind the Gong Shihei account. Ye Qi and Chai Ziyu were both stunned.
