The Epoch of Miyu Episode 29 Recap
> The Epoch of Miyu Recaps
At the Purong Hotel front desk, a mother is in a state of panic because her son Yuze's custom-made hearing aid has gone missing. With the English listening portion of the National College Entrance Exam scheduled for the next morning, she is aggressive and desperate, accusing the staff of negligence. Xu Miyu steps in to calm the woman, promising to resolve the situation immediately.
While Housekeeping begins a thorough search of the executive floor—checking every corner and even dismantling a toilet—Xu Miyu tries to piece together the boy's movements. She learns from the staff that Yuze returned to the hotel thirty minutes after his parents, but no one noticed if he was still wearing the device. Ji Feng arrives and takes charge of the technical search, heading to the monitoring room to review security footage. Meanwhile, Xu Miyu attempts to speak with Yuze alone.
Despite the mother's interference, the boy eventually snaps, expressing frustration over her overbearing control. Once he is away from his mother, he confesses to Xu Miyu that they had a fight and he had secretly gone to the gym to be alone. He admits he might have napped there but cannot recall when he last saw the hearing aid. Xu Miyu promises to keep his secret from his mother.
In the monitoring room, Ji Feng zooms in on the footage of the elevator and hallways. He discovers that the hearing aid was accidentally swept into a trash bag by a cleaner. He immediately orders the logistics department to stop the garbage truck, but the vehicle has already departed. Determined to recover the item, Xu Miyu hails a taxi and pursues the truck to the waste station through a heavy downpour.
At the waste station, Xu Miyu convinces the staff to dump the hotel's trash outside so she can search. She meticulously sifts through the piles, identifying the bags by color: black for the kitchen, red for housekeeping, and blue for the gym. After a grueling search in the rain, she finally finds the small device. Ji Feng arrives at the station shortly after and finds her drenched and shivering.
He scolds her for neglecting her own safety, but Xu Miyu, exhausted and defensive, tells him to stay out of her business. Moments later, the physical toll proves too much, and she faints. Ji Feng rushes her to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with acute pneumonia and a high fever. As she undergoes an IV drip of Azithromycin, the medication causes painful irritation in her veins.
Following the nurse's advice, Ji Feng stays by her side throughout the night, gently massaging her arm to soothe the pain. In a feverish dream, Xu Miyu envisions herself struggling through a sandstorm until Ji Feng reaches out to lead her forward. When she finally wakes, she finds her friend Li Qiaoqi at her bedside.
Li Qiaoqi explains that Ji Feng stayed up all night but returned to the hotel for a meeting, ensuring the hearing aid was delivered to Yuze first. Despite his exhaustion, Ji Feng insists on hosting the project progress meeting at the hotel, ignoring Xue Rui’s suggestions that he rest. Meanwhile, Li Qiaoqi escorts Xu Miyu back to her dormitory and insists she take time off.
She confiscates Xu Miyu’s phone to prevent her from checking work messages, reminding her that the hotel will continue to function even in her absence. Li Qiaoqi prepares a meal and medicine, urging her to focus solely on her recovery. Later that day, Jiao Xiumei learns of her daughter’s illness. She packs up some Su-style pastries she prepared for the guests to take to Xu Miyu, ignoring a colleague's warning about taking hotel food.
On her way out, she encounters Tan Jizhou and invites him to visit her daughter. Tan Jizhou, ever the gentleman, waits outside the dormitory until Jiao Xiumei confirms it is a convenient time to enter. Jiao Xiumei eventually makes an excuse to leave the two of them alone. While Xu Miyu prepares a simple meal of noodles for him, she and Tan Jizhou bond over their shared love of art.
They discuss the Getty Center and the masterpieces it houses, from the works of Van Gogh to Degas. Tan Jizhou is impressed by her deep understanding of Western art, which she explains was a personal interest she pursued for her career. They exchange WeChat contacts so that Xu Miyu can help him keep an eye on his father's health at the hotel.
Ji Feng remains concerned about Xu Miyu and calls Li Qiaoqi for an update, learning that she is recovering well but needs rest. Soon after, Xue Rui mentions an upcoming industry exhibition at the SNIEC and offers Ji Feng two tickets. Thinking of Xu Miyu, Ji Feng later invites her to attend with him. However, Xu Miyu declines, stating she already has plans.
She has decided to accept an invitation from Tan Jizhou to visit an exhibition at the M+ Museum in Hong Kong instead, hoping the trip will help her clear her mind. Over the weekend, Xu Miyu travels to Hong Kong with Tan Jizhou. Although he has booked an "Executive 80" sea-view room for her through his company's partnership, she insists on switching to a standard room and paying for her own expenses, including her flight.
They spend the day at the museum, marveling at a premiere exhibition of royal pearls. Tan Jizhou remarks that the pearls' elegant and pure glow reminds him of her. Back in Shanghai, Ji Feng goes for a run along the Bund, feeling a sense of isolation as he learns that Xu Miyu has followed through with her trip to Hong Kong with Tan Jizhou.
