The King's Avatar Episode 17 Recap
> The King's Avatar Recap
Chen Guo wandered aimlessly on the street, feeling very sad as she recalled Ye Xiu's words. It was almost New Year's, and Ye Xiu saw Qiao Yifan off on his ride home. Ye Xiu asked him if he would come back after the New Year, and Qiao Yifan replied that Wang Jiexi wanted him to return to the team and start over.
Ye Xiu told Qiao Yifan that Wang Jiexi had paved the starting point for him, but the end point was still up to him to decide. Qiao Yifan thanked Ye Xiu for his guidance and encouragement during this time, and told him that he would definitely remember his teachings. As the car drove, Qiao Yifan recalled the happy times, a determined smile on his face. Chen Guo returned to the internet cafe, still internally conflicted.
After struggling for a while, she finally made up her mind and decided to find Ye Xiu to apologize. Chen Guo looked in several places but couldn't find Ye Xiu, so she went to his room to look for him. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu wasn't in his room either. Chen Guo was wondering why, when she suddenly saw a suitcase by the door. This was bad; it looked like the great master was going to leave Xingxin.
Chen Guo hurriedly went to look for Ye Xiu and just happened to see him returning to the internet cafe. Ye Xiu also had something to say to Chen Guo, but Chen Guo stopped him first. Chen Guo told Ye Xiu that she wanted to take him to get to know the place again.
Chen Guo took Ye Xiu to see many parts of the internet cafe, making detailed arrangements for his team, and expressed that she could redecorate the internet cafe for his team. Ye Xiu, however, asked her why she kept saying "your team." Upon hearing this, Chen Guo lowered her head in disappointment and also told Ye Xiu that he must not find a partner like her; he must find someone reliable and experienced.
She would definitely cheer for Ye Xiu's team and become their number one fan. Ye Xiu listened to these words, noncommittally, and asked Chen Guo if this was her so-called effort. Chen Guo said that she didn't want anything; she just wanted them to stay. Ye Xiu smiled and told Chen Guo that she indeed had problems, but the biggest problem was naming the team incorrectly. The team's name should be Xingxin.
Chen Guo couldn't believe her ears for a moment. She was both excited and surprised, and hastily asked Ye Xiu what he meant. Ye Xiu stood up, extended his hand to her, and reintroduced himself: Ye Xiu, professional e-sports player, applying to be the captain of the Xingxin team. Chen Guo was overjoyed and cried tears of happiness.
She tremblingly reached out her hand, but Ye Xiu grabbed it firmly and told her to give him more guidance in the future. After the joy, Chen Guo still admitted her mistakes. Ye Xiu said that the first two things weren't done well, but there was a third thing, which was for everyone to do it again together. Ye Xiu then asked her how many points she was short on her exam today.
Chen Guo embarrassedly replied ten points, and Ye Xiu told her that she must pass next time. Hearing this, Chen Guo started complaining that it was too difficult to manage the guild and take exams at the same time. Ye Xiu then told her that he had a backup plan for her. Chen Guo returned to her room and picked up her father's photo.
She told her father that she was going to build a team, and the team's name would be "Xingxin," and that no matter how far the goal was, they would definitely achieve it as long as they persevered. Lan Xi came to the Xingxin Internet Cafe, but found a "Closed" sign hanging at the entrance. He walked into the internet cafe regardless and asked Chen Guo to open a machine for him.
Chen Guo was concentrating on her exam preparation and told him that the internet cafe would be closed for half a day. But Lan Xi persisted, saying that he would leave after playing for an hour. Chen Guo had no choice but to open a machine for him. Lan Xi looked around the internet cafe and didn't see anyone else, so he asked Chen Guo if she was the only one there.
Chen Guo was puzzled as to why he would ask that, and then she saw a wanted poster online with a picture that looked very similar to Lan Xi, which made her nervous. Ji Zhou couldn't find Lan Xi in the guild, so he called him and asked him where he was. He was very surprised to learn that Lan Xi had actually gone to Xingxin.
Lan Xi said that he was there to scout for information for the Xingxin guild, and then he hung up. Chen Guo was very flustered and felt that she had to call the police. Just then, Lan Xi came to the front desk, claiming that the computer had crashed, which startled Chen Guo, who was in the middle of calling the police.
Chen Guo was afraid that he would see the wanted poster on the screen and desperately tried to hide it, but Lan Xi didn't pay attention to the computer screen. Instead, he noticed Chen Guo's exam textbooks and even shared some of his own experience with her. Chen Guo saw Lan Xi go upstairs to the private room and decided to call Ye Xiu and Bao Rongxing back.
Chen Guo called Ye Xiu, but the signal was bad, and Ye Xiu couldn't hear what she was saying. He thought she wanted him to buy more things, so he said he would go back later. Lan Xi went to the second floor and found the Xingxin team's schedule and map, so he took pictures with his phone. Just then, he suddenly found that the room door was locked.
Chen Guo outside the door was pleased with herself for cleverly trapping the wanted criminal, but the lock was broken by Lan Xi. The two fell into a fierce argument, one saying the other was a wanted criminal, and the other saying the other was a shady business. They argued endlessly, both threatening to call the police. When Ye Xiu returned to the internet cafe, he saw the two arguing.
Lan Xi vehemently proved to Ye Xiu that he was not a wanted criminal and insisted on an explanation. Ye Xiu looked at Lan Xi's ID card and account card slapped on the table, guessed Lan Xi's identity, and then, feeling playful, calculated the losses Lan Xi's series of actions had caused to the Xingxin Internet Cafe, making Lan Xi compensate.
He also said that Lan Xi could work to pay off the debt and teach Chen Guo how to pass the manager's exam. Lan Xi saw that the other party had guessed his identity and understood that this person was Jun Moxiao. Lan Xi had originally come to scout for information, but now he was tricked and had to stay and be a teacher.
The more he thought about it, the more something felt off, and he wanted to find an excuse to slip away. However, Ye Xiu had already seen through his plan, so Lan Xi had no excuse to leave. Lan Xi began explaining about professional managers, and Chen Guo also studied very seriously. After class, Lan Xi was about to leave, but Ye Xiu called him back.
Ye Xiu asked him how he taught, and Lan Xi said that he had tried his best. Seeing this, Ye Xiu then tricked Lan Xi into being the unpaid manager of the Xingxin guild. Lan Xi was dizzy under Ye Xiu's tough attitude and vaguely agreed to Ye Xiu's request. While tidying up her books, Chen Guo found a musical note-shaped pendant. Seeing this pendant, she recalled the first time she met Tang Rou.
At that time, a thief was stealing Tang Rou's belongings, which Chen Guo discovered. Chen Guo rushed to chase the thief but accidentally fell. Tang Rou helped her up and thanked her. Seeing the bus coming, Tang Rou had an urgent matter, so she didn't say much. She picked up her bag from the ground and got on the bus. After the bus left, Chen Guo realized that Tang Rou had taken the wrong bag.
This pendant was the one on Tang Rou's bag at that time, and it also witnessed the process of the two girls from meeting to knowing each other. Tang Rou came in to find her, and Chen Guo showed her the pendant. Looking at the scattered textbooks, Chen Guo quickly tried to hide them. But Tang Rou stopped her, saying that she knew these textbooks were just props.
Chen Guo confessed that when Tang Rou took the wrong bag, it gave her an excuse not to take the exam, and after that, she always asked Tang Rou to help her with her studies just because she wanted Tang Rou to spend more time with her. Chen Guo felt that becoming a professional manager was a better choice for her.
Tang Rou, however, said that she had long known about Chen Guo's ulterior motives and that she came to tutor her just to see her more often. Chen Guo was very happy and told Tang Rou to come to Xingxin often. But Tang Rou might not be able to, as she had received an invitation letter from the Berklee College of Music and would be leaving after the New Year.
Chen Guo was angry that Tang Rou hadn't told her in advance, but Tang Rou said that both of them should make their choices. Time flew by, and the New Year was approaching quickly. Everyone packed up and went home, except for Ye Xiu, who for some reason did not leave. This was the first Spring Festival Chen Guo spent with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, so she was particularly conscious of her appearance, constantly choosing suitable outfits.
She tried on many clothes but couldn't find anything suitable. Chen Guo felt that she should buy some high-end clothes, so she smashed open all her piggy banks. Chen Guo went downstairs and saw Ye Xiu cleaning the decorative mural, so she joined him in tidying up. Seeing the mural covered in dust, Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu to get her old clothes to clean it.
Unexpectedly, from among many old clothes, Ye Xiu chose the scarf that Chen Guo had bought at a great price. Chen Guo was furious at the sight and severely scolded Ye Xiu. Halfway through scolding him, she suddenly remembered Tang Rou telling her to "spoil Ye Xiu," so she quickly changed her expression and became amiable towards Ye Xiu. She even took out her bank card and told Ye Xiu to buy new clothes.
