The Love Equations Recap
Episode 1 Recap
The day for freshmen registration at Southern University was approaching. Zhou Xiao, a freshman in the Chinese Department, was writing the first novel of her life, "Double-faced Man: The Bloodthirsty Forensic Doctor", while her parents were preparing the things she needed for the start of school. Her dad also prepared cash living expenses for her, which made Zhou Xiao unable to resist complaining to her dad, saying that WeChat transfers are popular now.
Her good buddy Cai Yasi stood at the door calling to trick Zhou Xiao into picking him up at the airport. He had just finished participating in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. The friendship between Zhou Xiao and Cai Yasi was very deep. Cai Yasi was going to stay overnight at Zhou Xiao's house tonight and planned to go to the school for registration with Zhou Xiao.
Zhao Fanzhou was a top student in the Forensic Science Department at Southern University. He almost always stayed in the laboratory conducting research on weekdays. Freshman reception day, Zhao Fanzhou was picking up freshmen at the high-speed rail station. Professor Hu from the Forensic Science Department called, saying that he had taken on a new case and had emailed the materials to him.
He asked Zhao Fanzhou to write an analysis report after reading them and send it back to him. Zhou Xiao from the Chinese Department had not yet been picked up, and he couldn't reach her by phone. Zhao Fanzhou had no choice but to ask Chen Yu to take the students already picked up back to the school first, while he stayed behind to contact Zhou Xiao.
Because Zhou Xiao was writing her novel on the high-speed train and was too engrossed, she missed her stop. Zhao Fanzhou contacted Zhou Xiao via QQ. Only then was he able to successfully pick her up. Zhou Xiao wanted to treat Zhao Fanzhou to milk tea to express her apology. Unfortunately, her phone ran out of power, so she had no choice but to borrow another 100 yuan from Zhao Fanzhou.
In the taxi on the way back to school, Zhao Fanzhou happened to see Zhou Xiao writing "Double-faced Man: The Bloody Forensic Doctor". He expressed his opinion on Zhou Xiao's prejudice against forensic doctors. Zhou Xiao felt that this person was too cold. Cai Yasi arrived at the school following Zhou Xiao's parents' car. After arriving at school, he went to the pre-arranged dormitory and found that Zhou Xiao had not yet arrived.
Cai Yasi quickly located Zhou Xiao's phone and found that Zhou Xiao was on her way to school. Following the location, Cai Yasi found Zhou Xiao. The weather was extremely hot. Zhou Xiao opened the sunshade umbrella in her bag. Cai Yasi also wanted to shade himself, but Zhou Xiao ignored him, threw her luggage to him, and went to the registration area for her Chinese Department herself.
After Zhao Fanzhou finished picking up the new students, he went to find Professor Hu. Professor Hu praised his outline for being very comprehensive, but still gave some explanations on important points. At this time, Zhao Fanzhou received a call for help from the student union, and Professor Hu told him to go there quickly. Just as Zhao Fanzhou was about to leave, Professor Hu stopped him and asked him to help unlock a human body model.
Zhao Fanzhou finished it in no time, and Professor Hu couldn't help but praise him as a talent. On the way, he encountered Zhou Xiao whose hair was tangled in the ribs of a sunshade umbrella, and helped her untangle it. As soon as Zhou Xiao arrived at the registration area, she saw Zhao Fanzhou, who had just helped her untangle her hair.
As soon as she heard he was from the Forensic Science Department, and remembering how she had just offended him today, not wanting to cause trouble, she quickly and secretly switched to a different line and continued reading her novel. Zhao Fanzhou's hand accidentally touched the red inkpad for the seal, and Jia Yichun immediately handed him a tissue. At this time, Tao Ling also came to register, and Zhou Xiao immediately pulled her into the same line.
Zhou Xiao's quick shift from crying to laughing made Zhao Fanzhou unable to help but notice her, so much so that when he answered his mother's phone call, his eyes kept glancing towards Zhou Xiao. This made Jia Yichun very curious. Zhou Xiao's parents helped Zhou Xiao clean her room, unknowingly causing trouble with good intentions, and wet the gouache painting that Zhu Lu helped the teacher frame.
When Zhou Xiao's parents were about to leave the school, they reminded Zhou Xiao not to provoke Zhu Lu, feeling that she was not someone easy to get along with. Zhou Xiao and Tao Ling went to the convenience store to buy something. A senior student came over to ask for Zhou Xiao's WeChat ID. Zhou Xiao deliberately pretended to be Japanese and cleverly declined in Japanese. After seeing this, Zhao Fanzhou found her very interesting.
Luo Wei, Zhou Xiao, and Tao Ling were having a meal in the school cafeteria. They talked about Zhou Xiao's online serialized novel. They originally thought her income would be quite substantial, but to their surprise, she only earned 82 yuan in two months. Luo Wei was curious about the subject matter of the novel Zhou Xiao was writing. Zhou Xiao told her it was about forensic science.
Just coincidentally, the school had a forensic science laboratory, and she was eagerly waiting to go explore it at night. That night, Zhou Xiao snuck into the laboratory. As soon as she entered, she found someone had arrived and quickly hid under a table. Zhou Xiao saw a skull and thought it was a body hiding spot, but in reality, it was just teaching equipment. Zhao Fanzhou discovered Zhou Xiao and sent her out.
Zhou Xiao still wanted to follow Zhao Fanzhou into the laboratory, but he refused. On the first day of school, many students were staying away from home for the first time and inevitably felt very homesick. They couldn't help but whisper about being homesick to each other on their beds.
Episode 2 Recap
New student military training began. Zhao Fanzhou assisted the instructor in supervising the new student military training. During the run, Zhou Xiao and Tao Ling were exhausted by the running. Tao Ling, in order to avoid military training, put on sick-looking makeup for herself and also instigated Zhou Xiao to do the same. Zhou Xiao originally didn't want to go along with it, but couldn't resist Tao Ling's persuasion.
At the training site, the instructor saw through their trick and treated everyone equally. The two had no choice but to pretend they had stomachaches, but the instructor was sharp and knew they were lying, so he punished them, supervised by Zhao Fanzhou. Tao Ling begged Zhao Fanzhou to do fewer push-ups, but Zhao Fanzhou completely refused.
Cai Yasi saw Tao Ling and Zhou Xiao being punished and quickly ran over to play the hero, but Zhao Fanzhou advised Cai Yasi that doing so was meaningless because it violated principles. Zhou Xiao was afraid that further conflict would be more troublesome, so she finally encouraged Tao Ling to complete the push-ups together. Zhou Xiao's optimistic and cheerful appearance made Zhao Fanzhou feel a stirring in his heart.
During the military training room inspection, Zhou Xiao used hairspray on her quilt and hid Zhu Lu's hair straightener in a bottle. Tao Ling had nowhere to put her own hair straightener, so she had to ask Zhou Xiao to throw it out the window. Jia Yichun reported Zhou Xiao to the instructor for throwing prohibited items and asked Zhao Fanzhou to testify. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou said he didn't see it, and Zhou Xiao thus escaped trouble.
When Zhu Lu returned to the room, she found her desk and quilt had been messed with, and she was very displeased. After the room inspection, Zhou Xiao ran downstairs to the flower bed to look for the hair straightener. She casually picked up a telescope and was about to play with it when she ran into Zhao Fanzhou. Zhou Xiao had to lie to him and say she was taking a walk. Unexpectedly, the dorm supervisor suddenly rushed over.
Zhou Xiao was scared and quickly stuffed the telescope into Zhao Fanzhou's hand. The dorm supervisor took Zhao Fanzhou to the security office and told them to clean up everything in the flower bed area. The two returned to the scene. Zhou Xiao looked around and found the hair straightener she had thrown was hanging on a tree, but she couldn't reach it at all. While Zhao Fanzhou was helping, Zhou Xiao noticed a very long scar on his arm.
The next day's military training was physical training: rock climbing. The instructor asked Zhao Fanzhou to tell everyone his score. Zhao Fanzhou said he couldn't remember clearly, so Zhou Xiao suggested he try again. The instructor then had Zhao Fanzhou perform rock climbing in front of everyone. His standardized and handsome movements greatly impressed everyone. At lunchtime, Jia Yichun invited Zhao Fanzhou to go home together for the National Day holiday, but he refused her.
Cai Yasi also came over to share a table with Zhou Xiao and deliberately provoked her. Just then, Zhao Fanzhou also happened to see a brand-new ugly photo of her. Zhu Lu drank Huoxiang Zhengqi water but unexpectedly got drunk. She looked quite abnormal and also lost her temper at Zhou Xiao and the other two. Zhou Xiao felt that Zhu Lu's condition was not right, so she and everyone else helped her to the school infirmary.
Zhu Lu was a bit embarrassed after waking up, but after this incident, the friendship between the four girls seemed to improve. The next day, during frog jump training, Luo Wei, Tao Ling, and Zhou Xiao's legs hurt terribly. Zhou Xiao walked with her feet splayed outwards. Cai Yasi also deliberately knocked off Zhou Xiao's hat. Zhou Xiao picked up her hat while enduring the pain in her legs.
Just then, she ran into Zhao Fanzhou, who, for the first time ever, helped her pick it up and put her hat back on properly. On the last day of military training, Zhou Xiao accidentally fell while performing a task. Zhao Fanzhou went over to help Zhou Xiao up and examined her. Jia Yichun picked up Zhou Xiao's radio and deliberately broke it in front of Cai Yasi. At the military training speech assembly, Jia Yichun's speech was interrupted.
A hacker conspicuously wrote "Your speech is really garbage" in large characters on the giant screen. Everyone started talking amongst themselves. Zhou Xiao immediately saw the calm and composed Cai Yasi and felt in her heart that it was possible Cai Yasi did it.
Episode 3 Recap
Professor Hu instructed Zhao Fanzhou to pay close attention to the experimental procedures and various details, emphasizing the importance of applying what he learned. Coincidentally, Chen Yu came over to urge Zhao Fanzhou for the results of the investigation into the hacker from the last military training speech assembly. Zhao Fanzhou told him that he had already instructed the programming club, and they were currently tracking the ID. Southern University's various clubs were recruiting new members.
Zhou Xiao was very interested in the Literature Club and decided to sign up for it. Zhao Fanzhou asked the head of the programming club about the hacker tracking issue, but currently, they had found nothing. They could only track the ID if he became active again. When Zhao Fanzhou saw Zhou Xiao signing up for the Literature Club, he secretly watched her every move from a distance.
Without a doubt, Zhao Fanzhou had developed a strong liking for Zhou Xiao. Xie Yixing, the badminton prodigy, hid in the grass, listening to students calling him the group's favorite. He unexpectedly discovered that Zhu Lu was tearing down his poster. He walked up and signed Zhu Lu's clothes in a very conspicuous way. Zhu Lu was very unhappy with his arrogance and rudeness and also drew her own name on his clothes.
She also told Xie Yixing to post one poster instead of a row of posters, and then she walked away. The enthusiastic Xie Yixing and the indifferent Zhao Fanzhou met for the first time in the dormitory. Xie Yixing always felt that his celebrity aura was known to everyone, so he boasted about his physique. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou took one look and told him it was best not to exercise, as he had injuries.
Xie Yixing followed Zhao Fanzhou's suggestion to press the acupuncture points and found it was indeed effective, so he planned to invite Zhao Fanzhou out for a big meal. Zhou Xiao felt that the clubs at Southern University were too strange and that it would be better for her to apply to start her own club. Coincidentally, she ran into Zhu Lu on the way, and they invited each other to the cafeteria.
Zhou Xiao wanted to tell Zhu Lu about her idea of starting a detective club and ask her about the application requirements. Zhu Lu told her she could ask someone from the student union. As luck would have it, Zhou Xiao saw Zhao Fanzhou also coming to the cafeteria to eat, so she pulled Zhu Lu along to ask Zhao Fanzhou for advice.
Unexpectedly, the arrogant Xie Yixing mistook the two of them for his fans, making the situation very awkward. After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zhou Xiao happened to overhear Zhao Fanzhou on the phone discussing the hacker investigation, so she proactively offered to help him investigate the hacker incident.
However, before that, Zhou Xiao ran to find Cai Yasi to confirm if he was the one behind the hacker incident, and at the same time, she initiated her plan to apply for starting a detective club. Zhu Lu wandered through the various recruiting clubs and unexpectedly met Chen Yu. Chen Yu invited her to join the Badminton Club. Chen Yu returned to the dormitory and complained that even with a badminton star, the Badminton Club members were not full.
Coincidentally, Xie Yixing was also there, and Chen Yu immediately declared that he was a fan of his game. During history class, Zhou Xiao was distracted, thinking about how to find the hacker. After class, Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou about her idea, suggesting that based on criminal psychology, they could provoke the hacker. After the provocation was sent, the hacker indeed sent a 16-character handwritten acrostic poem.
As soon as Zhou Xiao saw it, she immediately understood that it was indeed Cai Yasi who did it. Zhou Xiao wanted to protect Cai Yasi, so she sincerely apologized to Jia Yichun. Zhou Xiao asked Cai Yasi why he was so stubborn and refused to admit it beforehand. She then told Cai Yasi to treat her to a good meal. Midway through, the Academic Affairs Office called Zhou Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yasi felt that something was wrong and quickly followed her to the Academic Affairs Office to truthfully explain the whole matter. At the same time, Zhao Fanzhou also brought the handwriting identification results to Director Liu, proving that Zhou Xiao was not the hacker as Jia Yichun claimed. Thus, the truth about the hacker incident was revealed: it turned out to be a stunt pulled by Cai Yasi.
Episode 4 Recap
Outside the dormitory, male students were performing an apology scene, and female students rushed to the balconies to watch the spectacle. The heart-shaped candles, roses, and guitar were very romantic, but all the romance was swept away by a basin of cold water and the dorm supervisor aunt's fire extinguisher. That evening, in the girls' dormitory, everyone chatted in hushed tones about relationships.
Tao Ling felt that Cai Yasi hacking Jia Yichun for Zhou Xiao meant that Cai Yasi had feelings for Zhou Xiao, but everyone else said they had never been in a relationship. However, when they heard that Zhu Lu had never been in a relationship, they were very surprised. After all, with her looks, it felt like countless people were pursuing her.
Cai Yasi had half a month's living expenses deducted by his parents because of the hacker incident, so he had to rely on Zhou Xiao to cover his school expenses. Tao Ling was truly envious of their relationship, but Zhou Xiao was only concerned about her detective club, looking worried and planning to ask the student union again later about the situation.
When Luo Wei heard that Zhou Xiao was going to the student union, she asked Zhou Xiao to help her return a book, and Zhou Xiao readily agreed without a second thought. Zhao Fanzhou had just finished interviewing new students and happened to see Zhou Xiao come to the student union. He told Zhou Xiao that for a club to be established, there must be five members.
Zhou Xiao immediately boasted that she could recruit the full number within half an hour. Zhou Xiao implemented a bait tactic, inviting Cai Yasi by offering to play VR games, and Cai Yasi agreed without hesitation. She then used the same method to invite others. However, in the last few minutes, because Luo Wei was participating in the study club and didn't have her phone, she couldn't be reached by phone, so they didn't recruit five people.
But surprisingly, Zhao Fanzhou actually said he wanted to join the detective club, which greatly surprised Zhou Xiao. But Zhao Fanzhou told her that he found investigating the hacker with her last time very interesting. Badminton Club practice began. Xie Yixing was the new coach. Zhu Lu couldn't stand Xie Yixing's arrogant and boastful appearance before training. She readily accepted Xie Yixing's challenge to a match, but unexpectedly got injured.
After being injured, Zhu Lu treated Xie Yixing's and Chen Yu's concern differently. She told Xie Yixing not to talk to her casually, stating they weren't familiar, but Chen Yu's concern was very gentle. Zhou Xiao unexpectedly found Zhao Fanzhou following her from behind, secretly thinking Zhao Fanzhou was plotting against her, and she quickly ran away in fright.
Actually, after organizing books in the library, Zhao Fanzhou happened to bump into Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao mistakenly thought he wanted to usurp her position as head of the detective club. After Zhao Fanzhou clarified, Zhou Xiao started her nonsensical detective reasoning again, but Zhao Fanzhou told her to put the books back in their original places so that other students could find them more easily.
In the badminton hall, some girls were gossiping about Zhu Lu, thinking she intentionally fell. Chen Yu heard this and immediately stopped the discussion. Such a straightforward Chen Yu, who spoke up for her, doubled Zhu Lu's good impression of him. That evening, Zhou Xiao returned to the dormitory, and the dorm supervisor aunt called out to her, asking her to help deliver a bag of things to Zhu Lu.
Upon returning to the dormitory, she discovered that the bag actually contained feminine hygiene products. She felt this guy was truly perverted. Zhou Xiao said if she found out who it was, she wouldn't let him off lightly. In the dormitory, Zhao Fanzhou thought about Zhou Xiao's charming appearance in the library, while the narcissistic Xie Yixing was also confused by Zhu Lu's dislike of him.
The next day in history class, the teacher had everyone play a 'Touhu' game (pitch-pot). Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao threw casually and immediately hit the target. She immediately said humorously that she might need to drop out and participate in the Olympics because her country needed her.
In class, Cai Yasi kept texting her asking when she would take him to play VR, but Tao Ling felt that Cai Yasi definitely had something for Zhou Xiao and asked Zhou Xiao to test it out. Zhou Xiao felt that they were both single since birth, and believing Tao Ling's words was very childish. At the VR arcade, the two played a horror game together.
Zhou Xiao was very annoyed by Cai Yasi letting her fight the zombies alone, and at the same time felt that she was so childish to believe Tao Ling's idea that Cai Yasi liked her and would protect her, which was a huge joke. Zhou Xiao returned to the dormitory and happened to see Fang Wei delivering things to their dormitory again.
Upstairs, Zhou Xiao told Zhu Lu about Fang Wei, but Zhu Lu had no impression of this person at all. Zhao Fanzhou called Zhou Xiao to tell her that her detective club application had been approved and asked her to think carefully about the club's first activity. He also asked her to save his phone number, but Zhou Xiao felt that they weren't close enough to need to save his number.
Unexpectedly, that day when she took the elevator, an accident occurred, and she was trapped inside. Alone in the elevator, she called Cai Yasi, but no one answered, so she had to call Zhao Fanzhou, after all, she didn't have many male numbers saved in her phone. While anxiously waiting for rescue, Zhao Fanzhou appeared like a prince, extending his hand with a radiant light.
Episode 5 Recap
Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she was terrified of being trapped in the elevator, and she also told Zhao Fanzhou that it seemed someone was following him, so she decided to personally escort her back to the dormitory. They happened to run into Luo Wei and Fang Wei. It turned out that Tao Ling had confessed to Fang Wei immediately after graduating from high school, and the two are now a couple.
The mysterious person who delivered gifts to the dormitory was actually Fang Wei, but the dorm supervisor aunt misunderstood that it was for Zhu Lu, causing the misunderstanding. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao to treat him to a meal, and Zhou Xiao immediately agreed, telling him to think about what he wanted to eat and tell her later.
Because Zhou Xiao didn't have money, she crowdfunded among her sisters in the dormitory to borrow money to treat Zhao Fanzhou to a meal. Zhao Fanzhou chose a restaurant, and Zhou Xiao felt that the prices on the menu were all super expensive, and she thought she might not have enough money. She was just about to suggest changing places when the waiter came over and asked if they needed to order.
Helplessly, she bit the bullet and agreed to order, but Zhou Xiao didn't agree to any of Zhao Fanzhou's ordering requests, saying that she didn't eat this or that. Zhao Fanzhou had no choice but to let Zhou Xiao order for herself. Zhou Xiao ordered a bunch of vegetarian dishes and cheaper meat dishes based on her budget. Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao if she had figured out the activities for the detective club.
Zhou Xiao told him that she planned to do an indoor escape game. As they were talking, the first vegetable salad they ordered was served. There were carrots in the vegetable salad, but Zhou Xiao didn't like to eat carrots. She told Zhao Fanzhou that she had been chased and beaten by her mother because of this when she was a child.
When she was in kindergarten, she had said that she would marry the person who helped her eat carrots. At that time, Cai Yasi happened to be nearby and helped her eat them, but when Cai Yasi heard that she was going to marry the person who ate carrots, he cried on the spot. After Zhao Fanzhou heard Zhou Xiao's story, he picked up a carrot with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, which stunned Zhou Xiao.
When it was time to pay the bill, Zhou Xiao realized that she didn't have enough money. But she had clearly ordered very cheap dishes, which was very embarrassing. The waiter told her that it was because she had ordered a dish of Shirako steamed eggs that caused the bill to be so expensive. Helplessly, Zhou Xiao had to let Zhao Fanzhou pay for her first. On the way back, Zhou Xiao asked Zhao Fanzhou what Shirako was.
Zhao Fanzhou looked embarrassed, and Zhou Xiao also felt a little strange. Zhao Fanzhou didn't touch that thing at all when they were eating. Zhou Xiao picked up her phone and searched for what Shirako was, and her stomach churned. But she still expressed that she was treating this meal, and she would pay Zhao Fanzhou back for the meal, but Zhao Fanzhou suddenly asked her how much her monthly living expenses were.
Zhou Xiao calculated that it was only about seven hundred, and it seemed that it would not be enough for next month's living expenses, but she felt that it didn't matter, and if it wasn't enough, she could use Cai Yasi's pocket money next month. This answer seemed to make Zhao Fanzhou a little jealous, and he suggested that Zhou Xiao could pay in installments, but Zhou Xiao felt that it would be very troublesome.
Zhao Fanzhou told her that it didn't matter, and he would remind her. Zhao Fanzhou bought a new bicycle, and Xie Yixing wanted to borrow Zhao Fanzhou's bicycle, but he was rejected. It turned out that he was rushing to tell Zhou Xiao about the approval of the detective club's activity room, and he asked her to go and see it together after class. But Zhou Xiao was an impatient person.
When she heard that the activity room had been approved, she immediately sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and Zhao Fanzhou pedaled the bicycle, carrying Zhou Xiao behind him and enjoying the romance of the bicycle on campus. Xie Yixing came to the classroom and still greeted everyone proactively with arrogance and publicity. When he found that Zhu Lu was also there, he approached her to find out why Zhu Lu hated him so much.
Zhu Lu told him to keep his distance from her, which made Xie Yixing very upset. Zhou Xiao came to the detective club, looked left and right, and happily said that she had even thought of the name of the detective club. Jia Yichun happened to see them and invited them to eat pizza with her. Jia Yichun vaguely noticed that the relationship between the two seemed to be a bit intimate.
Before she had eaten two bites, Zhou Xiao received a call from Cai Yasi, asking her to go to the high school reunion quickly. After Zhou Xiao left, Jia Yichun asked Zhao Fanzhou how he suddenly dared to eat carrots. He used to never eat them at all. Zhao Fanzhou told her that carrots didn't seem that bad, and only he himself knew that as long as he could get closer to Zhou Xiao, he was willing to do anything.
Several girls at the next table seemed very interested in Cai Yasi, but Cai Yasi didn't like this kind of attention. As soon as he saw Zhou Xiao coming over, he affectionately called Zhou Xiao "baby" to get rid of the situation. Zhou Xiao cooperated with Cai Yasi in acting, but the price was taking Cai Yasi's wallet to buy milk tea.
After Zhou Xiao left to buy milk tea, Tao Ling told Cai Yasi that she planned to introduce Zhou Xiao to a boyfriend. Cai Yasi didn't seem very willing when he heard this, and he complained that only he could stand someone like Zhou Xiao. In the evening, Tao Ling and Fang Wei were having a phone call, while Zhou Xiao was designing the detective club's game activities.
The next day, Jia Yichun suddenly came to the detective club to find Zhou Xiao and told Zhou Xiao about her earlier stories with Zhao Fanzhou. Zhou Xiao felt that her and Zhao Fanzhou's affairs had nothing to do with her, and there was no need to tell her.
Also, she felt that what Jia Yichun said was not quite right, so she said that Jia Yichun's mother attacked Zhao Fanzhou, and as a friend, Jia Yichun should stand up to defend him. Their conversation was heard by Zhao Fanzhou outside the door, and Zhao Fanzhou's affection for Zhou Xiao grew more and more. Zhou Xiao ran all over the campus designing the detective club's activities.
She happened to run into Professor Hu, and Zhou Xiao wanted to persuade Professor Hu to let him visit the laboratory, but Professor Hu refused. Zhu Lu warmly invited Chen Yu to participate in the detective club's activities. Who knew that Xie Yixing would come on the day of the event? It turned out that Chen Yu had diarrhea and temporarily asked him to take his place. The detective club's first activity began with Zhu Lu and Xie Yixing arguing about whether to switch teammates.
Episode 6 Recap
The escape room game began. Everyone took off their blindfolds. Through the hint Zhou Xiao placed under the chair, Zhao Fanzhou quickly found the clue to open the door. After opening the door, the note on the door fell down. Zhao Fanzhou said it might be geographical coordinates, and a check showed it was the school supermarket. Xie Yixing and Zhu Lu came to the supermarket according to the hint.
Xie Yixing was surrounded by two fans asking for autographs in the supermarket. Xie Yixing wanted to show off in front of Zhu Lu, but who knew Zhu Lu was completely uninterested in him. Zhu Lu was busy looking for clues on the shelf and accidentally hit her head. Xie Yixing, afraid she would get hurt, helped shield her. Their actions were intimate and ambiguous, and were secretly photographed by the two female fans just now.
Xie Yixing was afraid the photos getting out would negatively affect Zhu Lu, so he pleaded with the two female fans to delete the photos. Tao Ling was not interested in the game and fell asleep on the table in the detective club with her blindfold on. Fang Wei stayed to keep her company. Zhao Fanzhou seemed to know Zhou Xiao very well and quickly found the balloon painted with Conan at the arch near the supermarket.
Zhao Fanzhou, holding the balloon, found Zhou Xiao who had been waiting for a long time outside the medical lab door. For him, as long as he was with Zhou Xiao, all childish games became wonderful. Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she had originally planned to set the last level of the game in the law lab, but the circumstances didn't allow it.
Zhu Lu and Xie Yixing realized the hint was related to the balloon and also went to the supermarket entrance to look for balloons. The mischievous Xie Yixing thought the answer was probably inside the balloon, so he popped the balloon, resulting in being scolded by the administrator. Zhu Lu quickly pulled him away from the scene. To satisfy Zhou Xiao's regret of not being able to enter the forensic science lab, Zhao Fanzhou secretly took her into the lab.
Zhou Xiao was very curious about everything in the lab, playing with a bone protractor. Zhao Fanzhou told her that the daily work of a forensic doctor is injury assessment, not just dealing with corpses as people imagine. Zhou Xiao put on a lab coat and excitedly took photos with Zhao Fanzhou. Unexpectedly, a security guard suddenly patrolled by. The two quickly hid in the corner, but accidentally Zhao Fanzhou kissed Zhou Xiao's forehead.
When the two were discovered by the security guard, Zhou Xiao immediately cleverly told the security guard that they had just come up to do an experiment. The dorm creativity contest was about to start. Luo Wei discussed with everyone how to decorate. Zhou Xiao was just about to ask Zhu Lu how to do it, when Zhu Lu said she had been targeted by a senior student and had to work like a dog for art photos.
After saying that, she left. To not dampen Luo Wei's enthusiasm, the three of them decided to think carefully about how to decorate. Xie Yixing also got the dorm evaluation flyer and found Zhao Fanzhou to talk about his decoration idea, stating that he wanted to get first place in any competition. Zhao Fanzhou looked at Zhou Xiao in the classroom next door from afar and felt a bit restless.
He pretended his neck hurt and asked Shi Guoguo, who was sitting by the window, to switch places with him. In class, Zhao Fanzhou's mind wandered from time to time, secretly glancing at Zhou Xiao, completely uninterested in listening to the lecture. In class, Zhou Xiao came up with an idea for the dorm creativity and suggested decorating the dorm in a Chinese style. Everyone split up to prepare materials for decorating the dorm.
Zhou Xiao was responsible for purchasing from the supermarket. Zhou Xiao, walking on the road, found that Zhao Fanzhou seemed to be looking for her. But she thought that she had already paid him back the money and there were no club activities. However, Zhao Fanzhou said he was indeed looking for her and asked her to open her backpack to see the books he had carefully prepared for her, but he pretended they were new books from the library.
Xie Yixing came to the badminton training court, learned that Zhu Lu had taken leave, so he also went to the art gallery to see an exhibition. Seeing Zhu Lu dressed up as a noble lady, he was completely amazed by her. Everyone was watching Zhu Lu who was playing the noble lady. Xie Yixing kindly helped stand guard for the blowing-flute model in the window, his feet were almost worn out from exhaustion.
Zhu Lu played the noble lady for an afternoon and was also tired and fell asleep leaning on a chair. Xie Yixing helped cover her with a veil. Zhu Lu gained a new understanding of Xie Yixing. Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao bought a lot of things to decorate the dorm room at the supermarket, but Zhao Fanzhou didn't buy anything for himself. At the locker area, the drawstring of Zhao Fanzhou's clothes was locked.
Zhou Xiao helped him open the locker while finding it very funny. The two tried almost all the lockers in the locker area before finally opening the door. After Zhou Xiao returned to the dorm, she filled the entire dorm with the things she had bought. She felt it was too gaudy, so she decided to change the style to a simple black and white look.
The three of them were busy for a long time, but the result of the decoration was very weird, looking exactly like a mourning hall. Finally, Gao Lu, who returned from the art exhibition, decided to draw a draft design for the dorm style again. Cai Yasi stored his various prohibited items in the detective club. Zhou Xiao became interested in the projector, stood on a chair wanting to try using the projector, and accidentally directly fell into Cai Yasi's arms.
Episode 7 Recap
Zhou Xiao quickly picked up the projector that had fallen on the floor and quickly asked Cai Yasi if it was broken. Cai Yasi was still flustered because of the sudden close contact. Zhou Xiao didn't pay much attention to it and, in order to gain his understanding, even helped Cai Yasi massage his shoulders, which made Cai Yasi even more distracted. He immediately said the projector wasn't broken and quickly left the detective club.
In the lab, Cai Yasi heard Gao Ling and others talking about buying skins, and he felt that his liking for Zhou Xiao was probably just an impulse, so he comforted himself. Xie Yixing took over the job of the flute boy, but Zhu Lu found him boring. Just then, Chen Yu also came to see the exhibition and suggested taking a photo together. Zhu Lu happily agreed. However, Xie Yixing deliberately ruined their photo.
Zhu Lu wanted to treat Chen Yu to dinner, and Xie Yixing said he wanted to go too. Chen Yu then said he would treat both of them. Zhu Lu was unwilling to go with Xie Yixing and said she was busy with the dorm evaluation competition and would schedule it another day. Xie Yixing felt that Zhu Lu's eyes were almost glued to Chen Yu.
He said that for a girl to invite boys to dinner every day without being reserved, if she liked having a boyfriend so much, she could consider him, as he was ranked as the most desirable boyfriend on the Tencent Star Xingyao Ranking. But Zhu Lu was completely uninterested in him, which made Xie Yixing feel very frustrated. Zhao Fanzhou and Professor Hu were doing practical work in the lab.
Professor Hu told him to go out and be active more often when he had time and not to stay in the lab with an old man like him all day. Just then, Zhou Xiao came to borrow a skeleton model from Professor Hu to decorate the dorm. Professor Hu didn't want to lend it to her because Zhou Xiao had written forensic doctors in a bad light in her novel. To his surprise, Zhao Fanzhou directly undermined him.
Because the professor was drinking tea with a beaker, Professor Hu, feeling embarrassed, had no choice but to lend her the teaching equipment. In addition, Zhou Xiao sent the chapter where her forensic doctor undercover reversed the situation to Professor Hu. After reading it, Professor Hu said he wanted to be her novel's legal consultant to help her find bugs. Zhou Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this.
Professor Hu asked Zhao Fanzhou to follow her, fearing that the teaching equipment would be damaged in Zhou Xiao's hands. Zhao Fanzhou followed her all the way. He just happened to hear Zhou Xiao say she wanted cantaloupe-flavored ice cream, so he went and bought it for her. Sitting on the bench, Zhou Xiao was a little confused about Zhao Fanzhou's kindness towards her and thought that Zhao Fanzhou must want her to pay back the money earlier.
The two sat on the bench. Zhou Xiao asked Zhao Fanzhou why he had been appearing around her so often lately, feeling that Zhao Fanzhou was doing this because he felt very indebted after kissing her forehead in the lab last time, and told Zhao Fanzhou not to worry about it, as she hadn't taken it to heart. Zhao Fanzhou felt that Zhou Xiao was an emotional idiot.
He had been so obvious, so he told Zhou Xiao very directly, what if he said he was very much concerned? Xie Yixing told Zhao Fanzhou about confessing to Zhu Lu at the art exhibition and being miserably rejected. He couldn't understand why Zhu Lu looked down on him, when he was clearly so outstanding. Zhao Fanzhou told him not to fight battles he wasn't sure of winning, and that a failed confession was mostly due to a failed strategy.
Xie Yixing felt he was also quite an idiot for asking Zhao Fanzhou, since he was also a bachelor. Zhou Xiao's dorm got first place in the Southern University dorm evaluation competition. Xie Yixing, however, felt there was something fishy about it, as how could he, with his celebrity aura, not get first place?
Zhao Fanzhou called Zhou Xiao and told her that if she wanted to pay back the money quickly, she could apply for a part-time job at the library, and also asked Zhou Xiao to come to the forensic science lab to return the teaching equipment. Chen Yu invited Xie Yixing to participate in the inter-school league, but Xie Yixing felt it was not up to his level and refused to participate.
Zhu Lu heard this and felt that Xie Yixing was still so arrogant and boring. Cai Yasi and Gao Ling met Zhou Xiao carrying the teaching equipment on the road. Gao Ling wanted Cai Yasi to introduce Zhou Xiao to him. Cai Yasi became very unhappy when he heard this and pulled Gao Ling away, but Gao Ling saw what was going on and encouraged Cai Yasi to confess.
However, Cai Yasi was worried that if the confession failed, they might not even be able to be friends. Zhao Fanzhou had been waiting for Zhou Xiao to come and return the teaching equipment. He just happened to hear Professor Hu scolding a student for not covering the specimen with a cloth, saying it would scare other students. Zhao Fanzhou quickly ran downstairs and kept calling Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao didn't have her phone.
Zhao Fanzhou had no choice but to sprint to the first floor, just in time to throw his white coat over the specimen and also grab Zhou Xiao. Professor Hu saw Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao in the lab and thought they were on a date, but Zhou Xiao said he misunderstood. Professor Hu seemed to realize that Zhao Fanzhou liked Zhou Xiao and began to strongly assist in setting them up.
Unexpectedly, just as Zhou Xiao was about to send her novel manuscript to Zhao Fanzhou, Cai Yasi came to find Zhou Xiao, saying he had something very important to tell her, and took her hand and left the lab. Professor Hu looked at the backs of the two of them and said to Zhao Fanzhou, "We've tried hard, but the competitor is too strong. Just keep working hard."
Cai Yasi pulled Zhou Xiao to a beverage store and deliberately asked Zhou Xiao if she had heard of that kind of "best friends' pact", but Zhou Xiao seemed to disagree with this kind of pact, feeling that it was just looking for a backup. Zhou Xiao really couldn't understand Cai Yasi's intention. In desperation, Cai Yasi said he was looking for her to borrow money.
Episode 8 Recap
Chen Yu was arranging the training member list at the badminton court. Xie Yixing also came. After looking at the list, he said that he would be in charge of training the women's singles. Anyone could see that he wanted to train Zhu Lu. During the training, Xie Yixing saw that Zhu Lu was a little tired and suggested she rest first.
To his surprise, Zhu Lu felt that her backhand lift was still not good and insisted that Xie Yixing teach her immediately so that she would still have time to practice it tomorrow. After Xie Yixing coached Zhu Lu hands-on, Zhu Lu's progress improved rapidly. Xie Yixing told her that she had basically mastered the technique, but her power was insufficient.
While the two were resting, Xie Yixing said he didn't expect a beautiful girl like her to be so hardworking and resilient. Zhu Lu also said she didn't expect Xie Yixing to be so professional and dedicated to badminton. Zhu Lu was curious why Xie Yixing wasn't participating in the inter-school league. Xie Yixing then told Zhu Lu the story of himself and Li Xiaofeng, saying that the main reason he wasn't participating was the recurrence of his old injury.
While Zhao Fanzhou was at the library, he received a request from Chen Yu asking him to be the team doctor, but he refused Chen Yu's invitation. Jia Yichun came to the library for an interview and happened to meet Zhou Xiao. She then asked Zhao Fanzhou why Zhou Xiao was also at the library. Zhao Fanzhou told Jia Yichun that he had recommended Zhou Xiao for a part-time job at the library.
Jia Yichun then asked why he hadn't recommended her. Zhao Fanzhou told her it was because he liked Zhou Xiao. This made Jia Yichun very sad, but she comforted herself, thinking that as long as she was by Zhao Fanzhou's side, she hadn't lost, and one day Zhao Fanzhou would remember her good qualities.
In class, the Classical Chinese teacher commented on the students' Han Fu assignments, praising Luo Wei's work as excellent, but was very angry about Zhou Xiao's short sixteen-character Han Fu, stating that even the shortest should be twenty or thirty characters, and told her to rewrite it. In class, Zhou Xiao received a text message about reporting to the library and immediately rushed to the library after class.
Zhao Fanzhou enthusiastically showed Zhou Xiao around the functional areas of the library, but Zhou Xiao said that was enough for today. It turned out she wanted to go eat and would go to the stadium later to watch a game. Upon hearing this, Zhao Fanzhou said he also wanted to go eat because he would be serving as the temporary team doctor there as well. The inter-school league was underway intensely. Zhu Lu performed well in women's singles.
Xie Yixing instructed Zhu Lu to just focus on blocking the back court, but midway through, Zhu Lu accidentally injured her foot while hitting the ball. Xie Yixing princess-carried Zhu Lu in front of everyone and said he would win the next match for her. Southern University lost in women's singles, but won in mixed doubles, so the result of the men's singles match was very important.
Just as Chen Yu was about to go on court, Xie Yixing suddenly stepped in to compete in his place. The scores were very close, but Xie Yixing still relied on his superb skills to win the match with one decisive shot, securing the victory in this inter-school competition. After the match, Xie Yixing came to the men's locker room to rest.
Zhu Lu came in to return some clothes and, seeing him in pain from his injury, gained a new perspective on Xie Yixing. Zhao Fanzhou saw Li Xiaofeng resting in the stadium. He touched his arm and knew it was dislocated. He kindly offered to reset the bone, but to his surprise, when Li Xiaofeng heard he was a forensic doctor, he immediately told him not to touch his hand. Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao immediately defended Zhao Fanzhou.
Her words made Zhao Fanzhou feel that Zhou Xiao understood forensic doctors very well, which was very comforting. At the same time, he very quickly reset Li Xiaofeng's dislocated arm. All major school clubs were arranging program plans for the school anniversary activities. The detective club was no exception, but only Tao Ling and Zhou Xiao came to the meeting. Everyone else was busy with their own matters.
Cai Yasi was busy with ACM, and Zhu Lu was busy with the badminton club. Chen Yu proposed that clubs that couldn't provide programs could directly join the school anniversary volunteer service team. Zhao Fanzhou initially said this would be discussed later, but unexpectedly, as soon as he heard Zhou Xiao's concern about not being able to present a program, he immediately changed his mind and accepted Chen Yu's proposal.
Xie Yixing planned to juggle a ball at the school anniversary to break a Guinness World Record, but Zhu Lu felt this was meaningless and very funny, and decided to wait until Chen Yu returned to make a decision. Zhao Fanzhou and Cai Yasi finished their respective tasks and went to the detective club one after another to find Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao, Cai Yasi, and Tao Ling were watching a horror movie in the detective club.
The timid Cai Yasi was holding onto Zhou Xiao's arm, which made Zhao Fanzhou, who arrived later, feel uncomfortable. He then told Zhou Xiao that the library was working overtime today, so the two left early and went to the library together. Tao Ling reminded Cai Yasi with the saying, "Pluck the blossoms when you can, don't wait till none are left and break empty branches," implying he should seize the opportunity.
She added, otherwise, when Zhou Xiao is pursued and taken by someone else, Cai Yasi, you won't even have a place to cry. Inside the library, Zhou Xiao watched Zhao Fanzhou seriously restoring books.
Episode 9 Recap
Zhou Xiao suggested that Zhao Fanzhou use the convenience of being a library administrator to enter the Rare Documents Room. Zhao Fanzhou told her it was not allowed. Coincidentally, Teacher Huang had a sudden meeting and asked Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao to enter the Rare Documents Room together to help scan the rare documents for borrowing. Zhao Fanzhou's printer cartridge ran out of ink and needed to be replaced. He accidentally got ink on his finger.
He asked Zhou Xiao to scan first while he went to wash his hands. Instead, Zhou Xiao picked up a wet wipe and helped Zhao Fanzhou wipe the ink off his hand. Watching her, Zhao Fanzhou's heart felt sweet. Zhou Xiao's phone suddenly ran out of power. The two of them worked together tacitly, sorting the printed manuscripts. Because they missed the closing time, they were locked inside the library.
Zhou Xiao joked that she had always fantasized about being locked in places like libraries, museums, or supermarkets when she was a child, and couldn't believe her dream came true today. The library was a bit cold, and no one discovered that they were locked inside. Zhao Fanzhou helped her build a dome-shaped shelter with books.
After the shelter was built, Zhao Fanzhou unexpectedly discovered that there was a charger in the library, but he didn't want to miss the chance to be alone with Zhou Xiao, so he covered it with a newspaper. Zhou Xiao seemed a bit sleepy in the shelter, so she leaned on Zhao Fanzhou's shoulder and fell asleep soundly. Cai Yasi was very worried about Zhou Xiao and called Tao Ling.
As soon as Tao Ling saw Zhou Xiao, she immediately had Zhou Xiao talk to Cai Yasi. Zhou Xiao explained that she was locked in the library last night because her phone died. Cai Yasi was furious and planned to go find her immediately to settle the score. They finally waited until class was over, but unexpectedly, Teacher Shu, who often went over time, still wouldn't let everyone leave after class.
Just then, she noticed Cai Yasi standing at the door and asked whose boyfriend was so impatient that he came to find his girlfriend before class was even dismissed. Hearing this, Cai Yasi was inwardly delighted. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao stood up and told the teacher that Cai Yasi was her younger brother, whose brain wasn't very sharp, and he probably got into trouble again. Hearing this, the teacher immediately allowed Zhou Xiao to leave first.
Zhou Xiao truthfully told Cai Yasi that she was locked in the library with Zhao Fanzhou last night. Hearing this, Cai Yasi was afraid that something might happen between the single man and woman, and immediately pressed her again about how they slept last night. Zhou Xiao told him they slept separately. Only after hearing this did Cai Yasi feel relieved. Coincidentally, Cai Yasi's classmate, Guan Bei, also came to the cafeteria to eat.
Guan Bei asked Cai Yasi why he didn't attend the ACM training camp last night and also helped him explain the content of the missed class. Seeing the two of them talking happily, Zhou Xiao found an excuse, saying she was going to be a volunteer, and left first. Looking at how well they seemed to get along, she felt that Cai Yasi had finally matured and grown up.
As soon as they arrived at the Student Affairs Office, Jia Yichun used her public position for private gain to arrange volunteer work. Zhou Xiao knew it would be tough but braced herself to do the material moving work. Zhou Xiao went back and forth, up and down, carrying many boxes of water, and her legs were sore, numb, and aching beyond belief. After it ended, Zhou Xiao encountered Zhao Fanzhou again.
Hearing Zhao Fanzhou say that the program for the school anniversary opening ceremony was canceled because the guest had a temporary engagement, she voluntarily offered to help Zhao Fanzhou think of a program. At this moment, the student responsible for the stage lights asked Zhao Fanzhou to test the spotlight effect on the stage. A beam of light shone on him, making him exceptionally charming.
Zhao Fanzhou walked step by step towards Zhou Xiao, their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. Cai Yasi appeared, interrupting their gaze. Zhou Xiao quickly found an excuse and left first. Zhou Xiao promised to help Zhao Fanzhou think of a program, but her talents were limited and she couldn't find anything suitable, so she had to seek help from Luo Wei.
To everyone's surprise, the usually quiet and introverted Luo Wei was so passionate when dancing that everyone was stunned. Zhou Xiao sent Luo Wei's dance video to Zhao Fanzhou as an alternative program. Zhao Fanzhou decided to use this program for the opening ceremony. Zhou Xiao and the other three began practicing the dance intensely, practicing moves even while eating or walking. During the opening ceremony performance, the four girls were full of energy.
Zhao Fanzhou noticed that Zhou Xiao's legs had many bruises from practicing the dance. He left first to buy her some medicine spray. Cai Yasi realized Zhou Xiao's beauty for the first time, feeling that he must have been blind these past few years. Cai Yasi, who was giving a speech on stage, gathered his courage and confessed his feelings to Zhou Xiao in front of everyone. The students cheered for them to get together.
Tao Ling and others thought that Zhou Xiao was finally off the market, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao didn't go on a date with Cai Yasi at all, but stayed in the dormitory. Zhou Xiao told them that Cai Yasi confessing to her in public was to avoid other girls, but she didn't know if this time Cai Yasi's confession was sincere. Zhou Xiao's words rejecting Cai Yasi were overheard by Zhao Fanzhou.
He was very happy, but in front of Zhou Xiao, he pretended to be indifferent. Because his confession was rejected, Cai Yasi was a bit distracted. The ACM training camp was about to start a week-long closed training session.
Episode 10 Recap
Zhao Fanzhou had no dating experience, so he picked up a psychology book about dating essentials in the library and began to study it. He wanted to understand Zhou Xiao by learning about her preferences, knowing that she liked detective novels, and asked her to recommend some good ones. Zhu Lu was being aggressively pursued by a boy in class, and Xie Yixing immediately came to her rescue when he saw it.
After class, the unattractive boy still kept following her closely. Xie Yixing wanted to step in front of her, but Zhu Lu said she could handle such a small matter herself, so she let the boy walk and talk with her. Unexpectedly, when his proposal failed, the boy actually forced Zhu Lu to accidentally fall into a trash can.
The boy even took out his phone to take embarrassing photos of Zhu Lu and threatened to post them on the school forum. When Xie Yixing saw this, he smashed the boy's phone and helped Zhu Lu up. When they were near the dormitory entrance, Zhu Lu told Xie Yixing she would return his clothes after she washed them.
Zhu Lu thanked Xie Yixing for helping her out, but Xie Yixing took advantage of the situation, wanting Zhu Lu to show her gratitude with some practical action. Zhu Lu decided to treat him to a meal to express her thanks. Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou were in the library when they overheard a girl arguing with her boyfriend about getting pregnant.
They mistakenly thought it was a drama about a mistress getting pregnant and forcing her way in, so they planned to go up and comfort the girl. After talking to her, they realized it was their pregnant cat that had gone missing. Zhou Xiao decided to help her look for the cat.
Zhao Fanzhou remembered the salt effect mentioned in the dating book, which said that what others need is best, so he uncharacteristically said they would definitely find the cat. The two of them went together to look for the cat, but after searching all day, they had no results, and it soon got dark. They happened to come to an abandoned house on campus. Zhou Xiao thought the cat might be inside, so the two of them went in together.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhou Xiao felt it was a bit dark and scary, and suggested they come back tomorrow to look. But Zhao Fanzhou wasn't about to miss the opportunity for the suspension bridge effect, so he lied to Zhou Xiao, saying that cat eyes glow at night and are easier to find. The helpless Zhou Xiao had no choice but to go inside with Zhao Fanzhou to look for the cat.
The abandoned house was a mess. To bolster her courage, Zhou Xiao kept reciting "matter determines consciousness" repeatedly, but she still accidentally stepped on something on the ground, getting scared and jumping into Zhao Fanzhou's arms. Their eyes met, and sparks flew. Feeling a bit awkward, Zhou Xiao immediately pushed Zhao Fanzhou away, but then, still a bit scared, she grabbed the corner of Zhao Fanzhou's clothes. Zhao Fanzhou was very happy that his suspension bridge effect scheme had succeeded.
The two continued walking inside. When they opened a door, Zhou Xiao was scared to tears by a hanging wire. Zhao Fanzhou felt very guilty and sincerely apologized to Zhou Xiao. While crying, Zhou Xiao said she just wanted to eat cantaloupe-flavored ice cream to calm her nerves. The two sat on a long bench eating ice cream. Zhou Xiao was planning to change her approach to finding the cat.
Zhao Fanzhou looked at Zhou Xiao's cute appearance, feeling a sweet taste in his heart. Xie Yixing got an invitation from Zhu Lu and showed off in front of Zhao Fanzhou. Zhao Fanzhou told Xie Yixing that he liked Zhou Xiao and that the two of them had already eaten together. Only then did Xie Yixing realize his progress was a bit slow, and he also started looking for experience in books, just like Zhao Fanzhou.
As soon as class was over, Zhou Xiao ran out to go look for the cat with Zhao Fanzhou. Tao Ling envied Zhou Xiao's colorful love life. Jia Yichun needed to complete a psychology hypnosis assignment. Using the excuse that no one was willing to help her, she asked Zhao Fanzhou for help, and Zhao Fanzhou couldn't refuse.
As a result, as soon as Zhou Xiao arrived at the detective club, she saw Jia Yichun putting her arm around Zhao Fanzhou, and quickly exited the room. Jia Yichun chased after her to explain that it wasn't what she thought. After Zhou Xiao went back into the room, she told Zhao Fanzhou about her strategy for finding the cat.
Just as Zhao Fanzhou was about to explain what had just happened, Cai Yasi called Zhou Xiao to tell her that he would be missing for a week due to the ACM training camp. Through the phone, Cai Yasi also understood that Zhou Xiao hadn't taken his confession seriously at all. Xie Yixing took Zhu Lu to eat, reserving a booth with the dimmest lighting, hoping to use the atmosphere to enhance their relationship.
Who knew the darkness effect recommended in the book had no effect at all? Xie Yixing deliberately put out the candle, wanting the light to be even dimmer, but Zhu Lu thought Xie Yixing was intentionally annoying her. When they returned to the dormitory, Xie Yixing specifically chose the darkest path to walk, and also wanted to ask Zhu Lu to sit with him alone again, but Zhu Lu refused each request one by one.
Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao shook a bell and scattered cat litter while searching for the cat, finally finding it under a sewer grate. The cat was having difficulty giving birth, so Zhao Fanzhou had to perform surgery on it. Zhou Xiao waited anxiously outside but couldn't help at all. Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and the cat successfully gave birth to kittens.
Zhou Xiao was very happy and held Zhao Fanzhou's hand to feel the joy of new life being born together. The next day, Professor Hu was very angry because Zhao Fanzhou had brought the cat into the lab to give birth. Zhao Fanzhou sincerely apologized, but Professor Hu still punished him by making him stand at the door. Just then, Zhou Xiao came to the lab to find Zhao Fanzhou and retrieve the bag she had left there yesterday.
Zhao Fanzhou told her to get it herself from his locker. Zhou Xiao didn't understand why Zhao Fanzhou wouldn't help her. Zhao Fanzhou told her he was being punished and couldn't leave his spot. Zhou Xiao then gleefully burst into laughter. He, who was initially a bit awkward, also smiled sweetly along with her.
Episode 11 Recap
Zhou Xiao didn't understand why Zhao Fanzhou, who had clearly said he would be her legal consultant, wouldn't even reply to a single message. It turned out that Zhao Fanzhou had been doing experimental research with Professor Hu in the lab, so he didn't have time to read the messages Zhou Xiao sent him.
He was so tired that he would only reply to Zhou Xiao's texts late at night, and finally just lay on the workbench with Professor Hu to rest. Zhu Lu brought late-night snacks back for them to eat. The four girls ate and chatted, and Luo Wei told them that there would be a Leonid meteor shower on the night of the 31st, so they agreed to go watch it together.
Tao Ling suggested that Zhu Lu could use this opportunity to ask Chen Yu out, but Zhu Lu was worried her intentions were too obvious. Zhou Xiao then suggested they all go together. Tao Ling also didn't forget to tease Zhou Xiao about her attention to Zhao Fanzhou, but Zhou Xiao said she only remembered that he hadn't been to the library for a few days because she was working there part-time with him.
Zhou Xiao didn't see Zhao Fanzhou at the library and mistakenly thought he might have quit. She mustered up the courage to ask Teacher Huang and only then learned that Zhao Fanzhou was currently working on a project with his supervisor and had temporarily taken leave. Hearing this news, Zhou Xiao was very happy. Cai Yasi asked her to go to a detective exhibition together.
Zhou Xiao happened to be worried about not having tickets for the exhibition, and as soon as she heard Cai Yasi had tickets, she happily agreed. Zhao Fanzhou from the Law lab also wanted to ask Zhou Xiao to go to the detective exhibition together, but unfortunately, he had already missed the ticket buying time.
Professor Hu felt a sense of guilt, thinking that keeping Zhao Fanzhou busy with experiments had deprived him of time to date, and decided he had to find a way to compensate him properly. Zhao Fanzhou, however, said it was fine, as there was only one last set of data left, and suggested that Professor Hu continue doing the experiment together. Zhu Lu sat in the badminton hall and asked Chen Yu to go watch the meteor shower together.
Xie Yixing heard this and said he also wanted to go. Zhu Lu was very happy because she had managed to ask Chen Yu, so she told Xie Yixing that the sports field wasn't hers, and he could go if he wanted to. As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yixing received a help message from Zhao Fanzhou, hoping he could help buy two tickets for the detective exhibition.
The charm of a star player was indeed boundless, and he managed to sort out the ticket matter for Zhao Fanzhou in no time. After Zhao Fanzhou finished the data, he showed it to Professor Hu. Professor Hu told him to tidy up the workbench and then send the experimental data to the provincial judicial bureau.
To compensate Zhao Fanzhou, Professor Hu specially created an opportunity for him to meet Zhou Xiao, asking Zhou Xiao to come to the lab to get a book and having Zhao Fanzhou be responsible for receiving her. Zhao Fanzhou helped her look for the book, but after searching for a long time, he only found a student handbook, realizing that this was an opportunity Professor Hu was creating for him.
Zhou Xiao became interested in the anatomy tool kit, and Zhao Fanzhou introduced each tool's function to her. Zhao Fanzhou took the opportunity to ask Zhou Xiao to go to the detective exhibition. To his surprise, Zhou Xiao told him that she had already agreed to Cai Yasi. Zhao Fanzhou couldn't hide his disappointment, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Seeing that Zhao Fanzhou wasn't responding, Zhou Xiao left the lab first, feeling very confused as to why Zhao Fanzhou was so indifferent. Zhu Lu and Tao Ling carefully prepared their clothes for watching the meteor shower the next day, while Zhou Xiao, although she had agreed to go to the detective exhibition with Cai Yasi, didn't want to change clothes at all, treating it just like a regular friend gathering.
Before falling asleep, Zhou Xiao was still thinking about Zhao Fanzhou asking her to go to the exhibition today. In her heart, she actually wanted to go to the exhibition with Zhao Fanzhou more. The next day, Zhou Xiao happened to bump into Zhao Fanzhou at the bus stop, who was planning to send documents to Professor Hu. Zhao Fanzhou was very jealous seeing Zhou Xiao dressed so beautifully to go to the exhibition with Cai Yasi.
The two got on the bus together. Zhou Xiao received a call from Cai Yasi's training camp teacher, learning that Cai Yasi couldn't make it today. Upon hearing this, Zhao Fanzhou suggested that Zhou Xiao could go to the exhibition with him instead. Zhou Xiao was full of curiosity about everything in the detective exhibition and bought a lot of Conan merchandise, as well as a box of cookies.
To her surprise, she didn't have enough money, so she had to return the cookies. Zhou Xiao put on the Conan glasses and bow tie and even suggested that Zhao Fanzhou also get into the spirit of the environment. Zhao Fanzhou then asked Zhou Xiao to help him put on the bow tie and so on. Zhou Xiao was much shorter than Zhao Fanzhou, and her face turned red after the effort of helping him put it on.
A little boy said Zhou Xiao looked ugly with the glasses, and she was very bothered by it, immediately taking off the glasses and bow tie. When Zhao Fanzhou saw her take off her glasses, he also took off his glasses and put them in Zhou Xiao's backpack. While Zhou Xiao was about to take a photo with an idol standee, Zhao Fanzhou took a photo with Zhou Xiao.
At this moment, Cai Yasi called and said he had arrived at the entrance of the detective exhibition and was checking tickets. Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou then went to the entrance together to meet Cai Yasi. When Cai Yasi saw Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou walking out of the detective exhibition together, he was very unhappy. The two boys subtly competed in front of Zhou Xiao, vying to be good to her.
Zhou Xiao felt overwhelmed, even wondering if she was sick. After finishing the exhibition, Zhou Xiao told them that she had agreed with her roommates to go watch the meteor shower. Cai Yasi and Zhao Fanzhou said in unison that they would go together. Because there were too many students watching the meteor shower, Zhu Lu and the others were squeezed out by the crowd.
Zhao Fanzhou then suggested that they all go to the roof of the abandoned house where they had searched for the cat to watch the meteor shower. At this moment, Jia Yichun also sent a WeChat message inviting Zhao Fanzhou to watch the meteor shower together and had even come looking for them.
Episode 12 Recap
Everyone was waiting for the meteor shower to arrive on the abandoned rooftop. To pass the time, Jia Yichun suggested they play a game and asked Zhao Fanzhou to demonstrate with her. When asked who she would invite to dinner, Jia Yichun chose Zhao Fanzhou, but Zhao Fanzhou chose Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao mistakenly thought Zhao Fanzhou was going to make her pay for the meal, but was interrupted.
Feeling unhappy, she went to the other side of the balcony alone to listen to music and feel the breeze. Zhao Fanzhou's gaze, however, followed her the entire time. When a question about mothers came up, Zhao Fanzhou and Jia Yichun suddenly got up and stopped playing. Zhou Xiao felt a little lonely when she saw Zhao Fanzhou and Jia Yichun standing together with their backs to her. Cai Yasi seemed to understand Zhou Xiao's thoughts.
Jia Yichun told Zhao Fanzhou that she had heard from Tao Ling that Cai Yasi and Zhou Xiao grew up together, just like they did, and that after the romantic confession at the school anniversary, the two of them would definitely get together sooner or later. To her surprise, Zhao Fanzhou told her coldly, "Growing up together doesn't necessarily mean you'll end up together. They won't, and neither will we."
Jia Yichun felt very upset and stood there alone, lost in thought, feeling the wind. The meteor shower didn't arrive for a long time, and everyone was getting tired, so they lay down on the table and fell asleep. Xie Yixing even snatched Zhao Fanzhou's pillow. Zhou Xiao then secretly took the Conan doll and gave it to Zhao Fanzhou to put under his head. Cai Yasi, standing in the distance, saw this scene and understood Zhou Xiao's choice.
He felt very sad and tore off the QR code on the Conan doll. The QR code contained his heartfelt confession of love for Zhou Xiao. He hoped Zhou Xiao would consider him. In everyone else's eyes, the meteors were brilliant and dazzling, but Cai Yasi felt especially lonely tonight. Everyone went home for the winter break and spent the holiday eating and drinking.
Zhou Xiao found herself missing Zhao Fanzhou a little and actually filled her novel draft with Zhao Fanzhou's name. Zhao Fanzhou sent her a text message asking when she would return to school and said he would go pick her up. When Zhou Xiao saw the message, her heart blossomed with joy, but she also felt very flustered. Throughout the entire winter break, Zhao Fanzhou only returned home for a few days.
He spent most of his time in the lab with Professor Hu. Professor Hu teased him, saying he only knew how to hold a phone and wait foolishly, not knowing how to take initiative, and that if he were Zhou Xiao, he wouldn't pay attention to him either. Professor Hu's words seemed to be very helpful to Zhao Fanzhou.
So he found out Zhou Xiao's schedule through Teacher Huang and personally went to the station to pick up Zhou Xiao on the day she returned to school. Zhou Xiao was very embarrassed because she had accidentally sent the text message revealing her girlish thoughts to Zhao Fanzhou, so she set Zhao Fanzhou's name to 'do not answer'.
Upon returning to the dorm, the four girls tidied up the dorm during the humid southern spring days and also shared gifts with each other, feeling very happy. The next day, Zhou Xiao and Zhu Lu carried their quilts to the sports field to dry them. Xie Yixing also pulled Zhao Fanzhou along to help her dry the pillow. When Zhao Fanzhou saw Zhou Xiao, he immediately ran over.
Zhou Xiao said she was going to work at the library, and Zhao Fanzhou followed her. Actually, Zhao Fanzhou knew the library was closed for dehumidification; he just followed Zhou Xiao because he wanted to walk with her. Xie Yixing was a bit distracted in the training hall because he saw Chen Yu and Zhu Lu sitting together repairing a badminton racket. Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou went to the canteen.
Zhou Xiao felt Zhao Fanzhou was a bit strange, always following her closely, but she didn't understand why and felt very flustered. After getting her food, she secretly went to a corner to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Fanzhou saw her, he sat down next to her without saying a word. Zhao Fanzhou saw that Zhou Xiao had radish in her dish and asked her if she didn't eat radish.
Zhou Xiao then offered to give the radish to Zhao Fanzhou. Zhao Fanzhou, however, told her that he had lied last time when he said he liked to eat radish because she had said Cai Yasi also helped her eat it, and he lied because he was angry. That evening, Xie Yixing complained to Zhao Fanzhou in the dorm about how Zhu Lu and Chen Yu were flirting while repairing the badminton racket that day.
He was very angry that Zhao Fanzhou wasn't listening to him carefully. Zhao Fanzhou planned to confess to Zhou Xiao. Xie Yixing was very envious of Zhao Fanzhou, wondering why he was handsome and rich yet could never win Zhu Lu's heart. In the girls' dorm, Zhu Lu, because of her recent close interactions with Chen Yu, also planned to confess to Chen Yu.
Episode 13 Recap
Zhou Xiao lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Thinking of the intimate moments with Zhao Fanzhou today, she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race. Just then, Zhao Fanzhou sent her a text message saying that they had to work at the library tomorrow, making it even harder for her to sleep.
The next day, Zhou Xiao went to the library as promised, intentionally avoiding Zhao Fanzhou everywhere, which made even Teacher Huang at the library a bit puzzled by her strange behavior. While tidying the bookshelves, Zhou Xiao found a new book in the library that was the same as the one Zhao Fanzhou had given her before.
She was a bit confused about what was going on, so Zhao Fanzhou told her that he had specifically bought the previous book to give to her. Zhou Xiao seemed a bit stunned, but Zhao Fanzhou told her to think carefully about why. Actually, Zhao Fanzhou's feelings for Zhou Xiao were already very obvious, but Zhou Xiao was a bit shy and didn't know how to face him, so she continued to find ways to avoid him.
However, being in the same library, they couldn't help but run into each other frequently, even when Zhou Xiao deliberately tried to avoid Zhao Fanzhou. Because the student who was supposed to clean the broadcast room was sick, Teacher Huang asked Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou to clean the broadcast room together. Zhou Xiao, however, said she could finish the job by herself and ran off.
Zhao Fanzhou didn't mind Zhou Xiao's strange behavior and followed her to the broadcast room to help her clean it. Zhou Xiao's deliberate avoidance made Zhao Fanzhou a bit helpless, so Zhao Fanzhou had to lock Zhou Xiao in the broadcast room and then confessed to her. After listening, Zhou Xiao's heart pounded like a drum, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
After she managed to calm herself down, she shyly told Zhao Fanzhou that she liked him too. After they expressed their feelings for each other, Zhao Fanzhou remained very calm, but Zhou Xiao, who was sitting next to him stamping library books, was still a bit dazed, feeling like she hadn't quite figured out their current relationship. While distracted, she accidentally touched Zhao Fanzhou's hand and repeatedly said sorry.
Zhao Fanzhou, however, said that touching hands in a relationship is a very normal thing and calmly continued stamping books, feeling very happy inside. Zhu Lu went to the badminton club to find Chen Yu, completely ignoring Xie Yixing's usual arrogant bragging. Zhu Lu invited Chen Yu to dinner alone as a thank you. Chen Yu readily accepted, saying it was his honor. Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao started their relationship mode.
A button on Zhao Fanzhou's sleeve came undone, and Zhou Xiao carefully buttoned it for him. Zhou Xiao wanted to go eat, and Zhao Fanzhou wanted to eat with her. Zhou Xiao then texted Tao Ling and the others to excuse herself, and she and Zhao Fanzhou ate hot pot together in the canteen alone. Zhou Xiao particularly loved eating brain, which she called "eating shape to supplement shape."
Zhao Fanzhou seemed a bit resistant to brain, but to make Zhou Xiao happy, he still let Zhou Xiao personally feed him some. Their intimate behavior was seen by Cai Yasi at the next table. He was originally in high spirits discussing training with his teammates, but suddenly lost his interest and left halfway through the meal, saying he was going back to the dorm to play games. Back at the dorm, Cai Yasi didn't even feel like playing games.
He sat alone on a bench on campus drinking his sorrows away and called Zhou Xiao to confirm if she was dating Zhao Fanzhou. Zhou Xiao openly admitted her relationship with Zhao Fanzhou. Cai Yasi forced himself to sound cheerful and told Zhou Xiao that he was going for training again at the end of the month and told her not to miss him too much.
Zhao Fanzhou didn't want to let go of Zhou Xiao's hand and was even happier when he overheard Zhou Xiao's conversation with Cai Yasi. Zhao Fanzhou held Zhou Xiao's hand and walked her back to the girls' dorm. Zhou Xiao secretly watched Zhao Fanzhou's retreating back, feeling as sweet as honey in her heart.
As soon as Zhou Xiao returned to the dorm, she heard Tao Ling say that she had snatched the person she liked, and she accidentally blurted out that she was together with Zhao Fanzhou. Her roommates were thrilled to hear this. Zhu Lu also told her roommates that she planned to confess to Chen Yu during their dinner date tomorrow. The progress of her roommates finding partners excited Tao Ling.
As for Tao Ling saying that Zhou Xiao snatched the person she liked, it was actually a misunderstanding. The person she was talking about was Ren Yiyang, a one-on-one tutoring partner in Chinese whom she had been paying attention to for a long time. She meticulously told Zhou Xiao about Ren Yiyang's personal information but was not very satisfied with the tutoring partner she had been assigned. The dehumidification work in the library progressed smoothly.
During the internal meeting, Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao held hands under the table. The teachers assigned everyone's tasks. Zhou Xiao was responsible for changing the barcodes, and as soon as Zhao Fanzhou finished his tasks, he came to help Zhou Xiao. They worked together very well, and the work of changing the book barcodes was finished quickly. Zhou Xiao found a barcode stuck on Zhao Fanzhou and playfully told him that he was also included in the catalog.
Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao then played around with the barcode. The barcode accidentally stuck to Zhao Fanzhou's eyelashes. Zhou Xiao carefully helped him peel it off. Their breaths were close, and their heartbeats quickened. Zhao Fanzhou wanted to kiss Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao told him to wait because they were in the library. Zhu Lu happily went on her date, but Xie Yixing suddenly showed up and tried to ask her out for dinner. Of course, he was mercilessly rejected by Zhu Lu. Xie Yixing felt very bad watching her go on her date looking radiant.
Episode 14 Recap
Xie Yixing followed Zhu Lu to the restaurant where she was meeting Chen Yu, closely observing their every move. Zhu Lu initiated a confession to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu also told Zhu Lu that he liked her very much. But Xie Yixing, who was nearby, felt that Zhu Lu must have been possessed, which was why she didn't like him.
In the restroom, he even heard Chen Yu calling a girl "baby", and felt that Chen Yu was two-timing, wanting to stand up for Zhu Lu. But Chen Yu said the other person was his cousin, and he called to confirm. The girl indeed called Chen Yu "brother," so Xie Yixing had nothing more to say. However, he still warned Chen Yu, otherwise he would get a punch.
Zhou Xiao was still looking for inspiration for a novel about the perfect angle for a stabbing. She would scratch her head for a while and then slap the table, waking up Ren Yiyang, who was sleeping nearby. Seeing her candid and cute appearance, he developed a good impression of her. Zhou Xiao introduced herself, saying she was his Chinese tutor, and told Ren Yiyang that his Chinese was good, but his grammar seemed not particularly good.
Zhou Xiao's witty and humorous Chinese tutoring made Ren Yiyang very interested in her. After class, he enthusiastically wanted to invite her to dinner. But when he saw Zhao Fanzhou come to pick up Zhou Xiao, his attitude immediately turned cold, leaving Zhou Xiao confused about the rapid change in the foreign friend's attitude. All the way, Zhou Xiao was thinking about what the perfect angle for a stabbing would be.
Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao if she had kept Ren Yiyang's phone number, feeling very jealous. Zhao Fanzhou's jealous behavior gave Zhou Xiao inspiration for her novel. She decided that the content of this chapter would be about a medical student protagonist who gets jealous and stabs her boyfriend over a hundred times, avoiding vital spots. Zhao Fanzhou felt a bit helpless about his emotionally obtuse girlfriend, but still quietly stayed by her side.
After finishing her novel, Zhou Xiao was very focused on checking the technical terms. But Zhao Fanzhou wanted Zhou Xiao to stop and spend time with him, so he tore a page from a notebook and crumpled it into a ball to attract her attention. The two playfully teased each other, and emotions surged. Zhao Fanzhou kissed Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao's heart beat very fast, and her body was very stiff.
She nervously clenched her small fists, cooperating with Zhao Fanzhou's kiss without daring to move. Xie Yixing was still bothered by Chen Yu and felt very unwilling to let it go. He posted online to dig up information about Chen Yu. Most of the replies praised Chen Yu, but one post caught his attention: someone claimed to be Chen Yu's girlfriend.
Xie Yixing called Zhao Fanzhou to verify if Chen Yu actually had a girlfriend, but Zhao Fanzhou said he didn't know, as Chen Yu had moved out of the dorm a year ago. Zhao Fanzhou returned to the dorm. Xie Yixing told Zhao Fanzhou that he was looking for evidence of Chen Yu two-timing. Zhao Fanzhou, however, told him he was not interested.
The helpless Xie Yixing had no choice but to search Chen Yu's lab coat himself, and he actually found lipstick and a hair tie in it. Zhou Xiao returned to the dorm, constantly replaying Zhao Fanzhou's kiss in her mind. Zhu Lu also returned from her date. Everyone gossiped and pestered her for updates on her relationship progress. Zhu Lu told everyone that Chen Yu had invited her to his place for hot pot.
Luo Wei teased Zhu Lu, saying she had even learned to stomp her feet since falling in love, finding love truly magical. Zhao Fanzhou sat by the window, observing Zhou Xiao's every move. He sent her a text message reminding her to listen carefully in class. After class, Professor Hu asked him why he had been going to the lab less often recently. In fact, he had already guessed that Zhao Fanzhou's relationship had made new progress.
He was just curious how Zhou Xiao could stand Zhao Fanzhou's reserved and peculiar personality. Professor Hu wanted to invite Zhao Fanzhou to his home for dinner, but Zhao Fanzhou said he had a date with Zhou Xiao. Professor Hu then suggested that Zhao Fanzhou must give a gift to please the girl, and it would be best if the gift was handmade.
After class, Zhou Xiao saw that her relationship with Zhao Fanzhou seemed a bit different from other couples on campus. She then asked Luo Wei if a relationship novice like herself would be doomed with Zhao Fanzhou, because she always vaguely felt that Zhao Fanzhou was a dating expert. Zhu Lu complained that Xie Yixing had woken her up early in the morning. Xie Yixing didn't care about that and told Zhu Lu that Chen Yu might be two-timing.
He even showed her the lipstick and hair tie. But Zhu Lu didn't believe him at all, thinking that Xie Yixing deliberately wanted to tarnish her boyfriend's reputation. Xie Yixing tried to persuade Zhu Lu to break up with Chen Yu, but Zhu Lu told Xie Yixing that whether she broke up with him or not had nothing to do with him, and even if she lacked a boyfriend, it wouldn't be his turn.
Xie Yixing was very annoyed by this and left. Zhu Lu picked up the lipstick and hair tie. Xie Yixing couldn't convince Zhu Lu, so he could only complain to Zhou Xiao and asked Zhou Xiao to get Cai Yasi's help to find the girl who claimed to be Chen Yu's girlfriend. Zhou Xiao agreed without a second thought. As soon as Cai Yasi took action, he immediately found the girl's location.
Xie Yixing suggested that everyone go together to verify, but Zhao Fanzhou felt that they should first ask Zhu Lu's opinion on this matter and at least get her consent. He stopped Zhou Xiao, but who knew Xie Yixing would forcefully pull Cai Yasi to go with him. Because this happened, Zhou Xiao had no mood for a date with Zhao Fanzhou. She wanted to go back to the dorm to discuss how to rescue Zhu Lu with her roommates.
She was also afraid that Zhao Fanzhou would stop her, so she could only pretend to be angry, saying how their first date could be so casual. Zhao Fanzhou agreed to her request and whispered softly in her ear, telling her he would try not to disappoint her. Zhu Lu and Chen Yu went shopping at the supermarket together. Zhu Lu took out the lipstick and hair tie from her pocket and returned them to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu told Zhu Lu that these belonged to his forgetful cousin. Just as Zhu Lu was about to ask Chen Yu for more information about his cousin, Chen Yu's phone rang. The girl on the phone told Chen Yu that she didn't have class today and was at his place helping him clean up.
Chen Yu could only lie to Zhu Lu, telling her that his father had arrived and had something important to discuss with him, so he temporarily changed his plan and wouldn't take Zhu Lu back to his dorm for hot pot. Cai Yasi brought Xie Yixing to the downstairs of the location identified. Cai Yasi said that he had ACM training tomorrow and needed to go back to pack his luggage. But Xie Yixing grabbed him, saying that it was his first time catching someone in the act and he was a bit nervous, hoping Cai Yasi could accompany him.
Episode 15 Recap
Zhao Fanzhou in the dorm meticulously planned for the first date. As soon as Xie Yixing returned to the dorm, he told him that he still hadn't found evidence of Chen Yu two-timing today, stating that he would continue to fight for his love tomorrow.
After Zhou Xiao shared Chen Yu's matter with her roommates, everyone was a bit worried about Zhu Lu, but Zhu Lu told them that she would handle these matters herself and even treated them to a late-night snack. Early the next morning, Zhao Fanzhou gave the first date plan to Zhou Xiao. After she looked at a few alternative plans, she chose the handicraft workshop. The two of them came to the handicraft workshop together.
Zhou Xiao was full of curiosity about the things inside. Zhao Fanzhou noticed that Zhou Xiao's hair was a bit loose, which seemed inconvenient for handicraft work, so he thoughtfully took out a hair tie and tied up her hair. But Zhou Xiao remembered what Tao Ling had said, that boys with small hair ties were not good guys, and once again mistakenly thought Zhao Fanzhou was an experienced dater.
Zhu Lu received the evidence of Chen Yu's two-timing sent by Xie Yixing. Xie Yixing told her to call that girl herself to confirm and make her own decision whether to break up or not. Tao Ling and Luo Wei in the dorm learned the news of Chen Yu's two-timing and immediately called Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao didn't dare to reveal her impulse to stand up for Zhu Lu in front of Zhao Fanzhou, so she avoided him and went downstairs to answer Tao Ling's call. Zhou Xiao told Tao Ling and the others to bring everything in the dorm that could be used for a fight, saying this might be a tough battle. Tao Ling and Luo Wei brought all the small items from the dorm that could be used as weapons.
Zhou Xiao also temporarily left the handicraft workshop first and accompanied Luo Wei, Tao Ling, Xie Yixing, and others, secretly waiting in a cafe and following Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu exposed the fact that Chen Yu was two-timing in front of him. Chen Yu found her actions very boring, saying that Zhu Lu was the one who confessed to him first, and told her not to play if she couldn't handle it.
Xie Yixing saw that Chen Yu's words were a bit excessive and told him to apologize to Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu's mood was very low at this moment, so Xie Yixing had no choice but to pull her and leave first. Her roommates also fiercely vented their anger for Zhu Lu. Xie Yixing pulled Zhu Lu to a private KTV room. Zhu Lu started crying silently by herself, and Xie Yixing quietly accompanied her from outside.
Zhao Fanzhou knew, and Zhou Xiao immediately apologized to him. Zhao Fanzhou was not angry. He took out the gift he personally made at the handicraft workshop and gave it to her. Zhou Xiao really liked the big pipe he made. Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she thought he was very good at dating, so she asked him how many times he had been in love.
Zhao Fanzhou told her that he had only been in love once, and the person he was in love with was her. He said these moves were all taught by Professor Hu. But Zhou Xiao felt that Zhao Fanzhou was so good at tying hair. Actually, he had practiced tying hair for a long time, but in front of Zhou Xiao, he just said lightly, "This isn't hard."
Zhou Xiao went to the library to get books, and Zhao Fanzhou also happened to come to get books. In front of Zhou Xiao, Zhao Fanzhou told the teacher that Zhou Xiao was his girlfriend. The teacher felt a bit strange, wondering why he needed to tell them this. Zhou Xiao asked Zhao Fanzhou to be low-key and not to tell everyone that she was his girlfriend.
But Zhao Fanzhou said he was not willing to be low-key; he wanted the status of a boyfriend. Xie Yixing waited in the cafeteria for several days and found that Zhu Lu hadn't come down to eat. As soon as he saw Zhou Xiao, he immediately inquired and learned that Zhu Lu was still sad about Chen Yu's matter. To comfort Zhu Lu, her roommates saw that she had a very poor appetite, so they ate with her.
Xie Yixing called and invited Zhu Lu to go to the amusement park together, but Zhu Lu, because of her breakup, had no interest in anything. Zhao Fanzhou sent a text message to Zhou Xiao, telling her that his experiment with Professor Hu was nearing its end and asking her to come to the lab to find him later. Then the two of them had a sweet date in the lab again. Time passed by slowly.
The somewhat tired Zhou Xiao fell asleep with her head down in the lab. Zhao Fanzhou looked at her sleeping appearance, finding it very cute. He picked up his phone and recorded the sound of Zhou Xiao snoring while she slept. Xie Yixing called Zhao Fanzhou to ask for Zhou Xiao's help, wanting them to help ask Zhu Lu out.
Zhao Fanzhou felt a bit jealous that Xie Yixing was chatting with Zhou Xiao for too long, so he deliberately rubbed his face to interrupt their conversation. After Zhou Xiao returned to the dorm, she asked Tao Ling to help coordinate and persuade Zhu Lu to go to the amusement park. Zhu Lu couldn't resist Zhou Xiao's persistent persuasion and finally agreed to the suggestion for the roommates to go to the amusement park together.
However, Luo Wei had class and Tao Ling needed to accompany Fang Wei. So Zhou Xiao had to tell Zhu Lu, "Never mind them, let's just go by ourselves." Actually, she had already planned to ask Zhao Fanzhou to go with them. That evening, Zhao Fanzhou came to find Zhou Xiao. He asked her why they couldn't discuss the matter on the phone.
Zhou Xiao explained that to make Zhu Lu a little happier, they decided to make Xie Yixing Zhu Lu's second boyfriend, because it's easier to forget old love with a new love. Zhou Xiao also named this activity "Saving the Unhappy".
Episode 16 Recap
At the entrance of the amusement park, Zhu Lu found that Xie Yixing had also come. Zhou Xiao, afraid of Zhu Lu blaming her, retreated behind Zhao Fanzhou. Xie Yixing quickly explained that he came because he was thick-skinned. Zhou Xiao told Zhu Lu to have fun first, and if she didn't have fun, she could settle the score with her when they got back.
Zhao Fanzhou didn't want to be with Xie Yixing and his group, so they split into two groups and started playing separately, so neither group would be a third wheel to the other. Zhou Xiao pulled Zhao Fanzhou to ride the roller coaster, but Zhao Fanzhou seemed a little afraid of riding roller coasters. However, he still held Zhou Xiao's hand and experienced a few thrilling roller coaster rides.
Afterwards, Zhou Xiao deliberately picked out funny photos of Zhao Fanzhou while he was on the roller coaster. Zhou Xiao took the funny photos and chased after Zhao Fanzhou, asking him to take one too, but Zhao Fanzhou seemed unwilling. Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that the most important thing about coming to an amusement park was the vibe, so she pulled Zhao Fanzhou and bought headbands.
Xie Yixing pulled Zhu Lu to the balloon shooting booth and picked up the pistol, starting to brag about how good he was. However, he ended up shooting all the bullets at other people's target balloons. Zhu Lu scoffed, so Xie Yixing told Zhu Lu to shoot. It turned out that Zhu Lu was the real marksman, hitting almost every shot, which made Xie Yixing so happy he almost bounced around.
Zhu Lu offered to buy water for Xie Yixing, but he refused, saying that it wasn't his style to let a girl buy water. Zhu Lu had no choice but to sit on a chair and wait for him alone. When Xie Yixing came back with water, he found Zhu Lu looking dejected.
Knowing that Zhu Lu was unhappy seeing the couple across the way dating, he pulled the chair to the other side, blocking Zhu Lu's view of the sweet scene, and at the same time suggested that Zhu Lu continue playing. After finishing playing, Zhao Fanzhou received a call from his mother. His mother told him that she planned to go out to relax and travel with friends for a while, and asked him to take good care of himself.
Xie Yixing winked at Zhou Xiao, signaling her to create an opportunity for him and Zhu Lu to be alone. Zhou Xiao understood and told Zhu Lu that she wanted to stay and play for a while longer. Seeing this, Xie Yixing immediately pulled Zhu Lu and left first without explanation. Zhou Xiao noticed a large scar on Zhao Fanzhou's arm and out of curiosity asked Zhao Fanzhou how he got it.
Zhao Fanzhou then told Zhou Xiao that this scar was from when his parents were arguing as a child and he accidentally cut himself with a fruit knife. Zhou Xiao was a little silent after hearing this. Zhao Fanzhou mistakenly thought he had scared Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao said that she had mistakenly thought the scar was proof that Zhao Fanzhou was a bad boy in the past, but it wasn't.
Zhao Fanzhou was very surprised to hear Zhou Xiao's strange train of thought. On the way back, Zhu Lu leaned on Xie Yixing's shoulder and fell fast asleep. Xie Yixing was overjoyed. Zhao Fanzhou prepared super romantic fireworks for Zhou Xiao. Looking at the sky full of fireworks, Zhou Xiao stepped forward and hugged Zhao Fanzhou, saying that she really admired him. The administrator chased after Zhao Fanzhou for setting off fireworks without permission. Seeing this, the two quickly hid.
During their time together, Zhao Fanzhou told Zhou Xiao that he used to do his homework near the slide when he was a child. Zhou Xiao suddenly said to Zhao Fanzhou, thanking him for sharing his secret base with her. Zhou Xiao also performed a romantic bubble fireworks display for Zhao Fanzhou. The two deeply hugged and kissed in the sky filled with flying bubbles. The next day, Zhao Fanzhou came to pick up Zhou Xiao on his bike.
Zhou Xiao kept complaining that Zhao Fanzhou was too slow because she was afraid of being late. Zhao Fanzhou then let Zhou Xiao ride by herself. Zhou Xiao bragged that she would let Zhao Fanzhou experience speed and passion, but in fact, she was only a beginner and accidentally broke her phone. Jia Yichun saw the sweet scene of them riding bikes together, and a surge of jealousy welled up in her heart.
Zhou Xiao was very happy to hear that forensic expert Qin Meng was coming to school for a lecture, but she immediately felt a little disappointed when she heard that it was only for law students. In class, she encouraged the students in her class to ask the teacher to open Qin Meng's lecture to the whole school, but the teacher didn't seem to get the hint.
Chen Yu came to find Xie Yixing to handle the handover procedures for the Badminton Club. While Zhu Lu was practicing against Xie Yixing, a badminton shuttlecock grazed Chen Yu's face, and Chen Yu's face immediately turned pale. Zhou Xiao went to repair her phone. The boss quoted fifteen hundred yuan. Zhou Xiao suddenly felt that it would be great if Cai Yasi were here, so she could save a large amount of money.
Just as Zhou Xiao was hesitating whether to repair it, Zhao Fanzhou sent her a text message asking her to go to the law lab. The phone store boss told her that her phone was just having a temporary recovery. Zhou Xiao reluctantly said she would repair the phone. Zhu Lu and Xie Yixing were eating together.
Zhu Lu conveyed to Xie Yixing that Chen Yu had asked him to pass on an apology during the work handover just now, but Xie Yixing said that he had already told Chen Yu on behalf of Zhu Lu that she would not forgive him.
Zhu Lu added a piece of meat for Xie Yixing to thank him, but Xie Yixing said that he never eats meat and also told Zhu Lu not to eat it, as everything was for the sake of perfect body fat percentage.
Episode 17 Recap
Qin Meng followed Zhao Fanzhou to the law lab to see Professor Hu. As they were familiar with each other, there was no need for small talk. Professor Hu asked Qin Meng if the forensic identification institute was busy and if she was still writing novels. Qin Meng told him that she certainly was, and told him not to forget her main profession. Qin Meng used to be Professor Hu's assistant and respected him greatly.
Professor Hu mentioned Zhou Xiao's novel in front of Qin Meng, giving it very high praise. He told Qin Meng that the novel was very interesting, like drinking a little wine while lying on the sofa, unlike Qin Meng's novels which were too serious and tiring to read.
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiao arrived at the forensic lab and called out Zhao Fanzhou's name from outside the door in a slightly spoiled tone, making Zhao Fanzhou feel a little awkward. As soon as Zhou Xiao saw Qin Meng, she became extremely emotional and told Qin Meng that it was precisely because she had read her novels that she decided to write.
She also asked Qin Meng if she could give a forensic lecture open to the entire school. Qin Meng thought about it and agreed to Zhou Xiao's suggestion, but asked her to sort out the corresponding outline by tomorrow morning. Zhou Xiao agreed without hesitation, boasting that she could do it. Agreeing felt good at the time, but when it came to actually doing it, she realized it had been a bit too hasty.
Now she had to bear the pain herself. Zhou Xiao held the materials Qin Meng gave her but had no idea how to organize them. Zhou Xiao asked Zhao Fanzhou for his opinion, saying that since the lecture was changed from being just for the forensics department to all teachers and students, the content should also be made more accessible and easy to understand. Zhao Fanzhou simply replied "Oh," indifferently.
Seeing his reaction, Zhou Xiao was displeased and told Zhao Fanzhou righteously that as her study companion, he should give her some inspiration instead of being so perfunctory. Zhao Fanzhou heard this, put down the game in his hand, picked up the book on the table, and told Zhou Xiao to come closer. He then lightly kissed Zhou Xiao on the cheek and added that an outline based on hormone levels would help inspiration flow.
Zhou Xiao's face turned red from his kiss, and she shyly began to organize the outline. After returning to the dorm, Zhou Xiao received a caring text message from Zhao Fanzhou. In the dorm, Zhao Fanzhou carefully cut out the photo of the two of them from the amusement park pictures and put it in his wallet. Seeing that Zhou Xiao hadn't replied to his text, he felt a little annoyed, so he sent Zhou Xiao another text.
However, Zhou Xiao was already asleep, slumped on the table. On the day of Qin Meng's lecture, she had thought Zhou Xiao might bail on her and had stayed up late preparing an outline herself. To her surprise, Zhou Xiao actually did prepare it, so she invited Zhou Xiao to sit beside her and assist with the lecture. Zhou Xiao felt nervous upon hearing this but mustered up the courage to sit next to Qin Meng.
Zhao Fanzhou also comforted her, telling her not to be nervous. Jia Yichun saw Zhou Xiao sitting in the seat that she felt should have been hers and went up to question Zhou Xiao, saying that not only had she snatched Zhao Fanzhou, but now she was even trying to snatch the host position. Zhou Xiao was very nervous on stage. Seeing the encouragement from her group of friends and Zhao Fanzhou in the audience, she finally relaxed a bit.
Qin Meng introduced Zhou Xiao to everyone, stating that she had temporarily decided to change the lecture format to a dialogue after seeing Zhou Xiao's outline. Their cooperation was very lively and relaxed, and the students in the audience responded positively. Midway through the dialogue, Zhao Fanzhou's mother was in a car accident and was being rescued in the hospital. After receiving the call, Zhao Fanzhou rushed over.
He sent Zhou Xiao a text message to inform her, but Jia Yichun saw it. Jealous Jia Yichun secretly deleted Zhao Fanzhou's text message from Zhou Xiao's phone and blacklisted Zhao Fanzhou's number. After the lecture, Zhou Xiao discovered that Zhao Fanzhou was missing. Her friends told Zhou Xiao that Zhao Fanzhou had left midway, probably because something important had happened. When Zhao Fanzhou arrived at the hospital, he immediately called Zhou Xiao but couldn't get through.
Zhou Xiao also called Zhao Fanzhou repeatedly but couldn't get through either. A little worried, Zhou Xiao went to the forensic lab to look for Zhao Fanzhou without eating, but found it empty. Zhou Xiao then went to the library to look for Zhao Fanzhou. A teacher reminded her that Zhao Fanzhou had borrowed a book on love psychology, making Zhou Xiao even more anxious. Xie Yixing met Zhou Xiao on the way to the badminton court.
Zhou Xiao asked him about Zhao Fanzhou's whereabouts. Xie Yixing told Zhou Xiao that he didn't know. Zhou Xiao walked away dejectedly after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou called Xie Yixing at this moment and told him that his mother was hospitalized due to a car accident and asked him to help tell Zhou Xiao to contact him. Xie Yixing was about to call her back but found that she had already walked far away.
Zhu Lu was picking up balls alone at the badminton court. Other girls, knowing that Chen Yu had broken up with her, were speaking ill of her in private. Xie Yixing defended Zhu Lu, lecturing them. Xie Yixing asked Zhu Lu to tell Zhou Xiao that Zhao Fanzhou had gone to another city to take care of his mother. Zhou Xiao went to the student affairs office.
Jia Yichun pretended to receive a call from Zhao Fanzhou and told Zhou Xiao about Zhao Fanzhou's mother being hospitalized. Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao quietly returned to the dorm alone. Zhu Lu was also about to tell Zhou Xiao about Zhao Fanzhou's mother's hospitalization, but Zhou Xiao suddenly burst into tears.
She felt that she was the last person to know about Zhao Fanzhou's mother's illness and hospitalization, and mistakenly thought this was a sign that Zhao Fanzhou was breaking up with her. Zhou Xiao sat dejectedly by the school flower bed alone. Cai Yasi happened to pass by and took her for ice cream.
Zhou Xiao cried to Cai Yasi about what Zhao Fanzhou had done, asking why he told everyone else but didn't tell her, and feeling that Zhao Fanzhou probably thought she was an ugly and annoying girlfriend. Zhao Fanzhou meticulously took care of his mother at the hospital. In his free time, he called and texted Zhou Xiao over and over again but couldn't get any response.
After a long wait, he finally received a text message from Zhou Xiao, but when he called, he still couldn't connect, which left Zhao Fanzhou puzzled. Zhou Xiao was furious, almost exploding because Zhao Fanzhou hadn't replied to her message all night. The next morning, Zhou Xiao was so angry that her teeth itched, and she decided to swipe Zhao Fanzhou's meal card until it was empty to vent her dissatisfaction.
Episode 18 Recap
Zhou Xiao's group of friends insisted on dragging her to watch Xie Yixing's badminton match. Zhu Lu told her friends that Xie Yixing said he would tear off his jersey if he won the match. Tao Ling was extremely excited upon hearing this, but Zhou Xiao was clearly out of sorts, like a walking dead person. Xie Yixing's performance in the match was very good, and he quickly secured victory. However, he got stuck during the jersey-tearing part.
His comical appearance made everyone roar with laughter. Because Zhou Xiao didn't know exactly what was going on with Zhao Fanzhou, she started listening to lectures very seriously, which was highly unusual. She also enthusiastically answered all the teacher's questions in class, as if she was on stimulants. The teacher was confused by this and advised Zhou Xiao not to be too agitated, suggesting she leave opportunities for other students.
Teacher Shu told everyone that the department was organizing a submission competition and asked them to send their completed manuscripts to his email. Zhou Xiao was the first to jump up and volunteer to submit. As class was about to end, she even wanted to discuss the issue of character arcs with the teacher. Teacher Shu was a bit overwhelmed by Zhou Xiao's enthusiasm.
He, who always liked to extend class time, seized the opportunity to run away when he heard the class bell. Zhou Xiao acted out of character and, using her 'breakup' as an excuse, made many unreasonable requests to her roommates. Her dorm mates, to comfort her, refused none of her requests. After bothering her roommates for most of the day, Cai Yasi called Zhou Xiao and said he had prepared a great gift for her.
In reality, the so-called great gift was Zhao Fanzhou. As soon as Zhou Xiao saw Zhao Fanzhou, she became very angry. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Zhao Fanzhou grabbed her hand. Zhou Xiao questioned Zhao Fanzhou why he hadn't contacted her. Zhao Fanzhou took out his phone and showed Zhou Xiao, and only then did Zhou Xiao realize it was all a misunderstanding.
It turned out that Zhou Xiao had blacklisted Zhao Fanzhou's phone number, which caused this breakup farce. Zhao Fanzhou thanked Cai Yasi, thanking him for helping clear his name. It turned out that before Cai Yasi tricked Zhou Xiao into coming to the cafe, he had already clarified things with Zhao Fanzhou and only then understood that it was originally a misunderstanding.
Zhao Fanzhou planned to buy Zhou Xiao a new phone because he didn't want to be unable to contact her after going to the hospital tomorrow. After entering the store, Zhou Xiao said that since she had already agreed to accept it, she should pick a good and expensive one. But she gasped when she heard the price, and finally only chose a phone of the same model that Zhao Fanzhou was currently using.
As soon as Zhou Xiao got the new phone, she started taking pictures non-stop. Zhao Fanzhou asked her, puzzled, why she didn't let him buy the new phone, stating that the latest model had better camera effects. Zhou Xiao replied that it's fine as long as the phone works and there's no need to be a spendthrift. " Could it be that I've found a treasure?
Zhao Fanzhou, are you a rich second generation or a business tycoon with endless money?" Zhao Fanzhou was dumbfounded by what she said, and immediately took out a bank card from his wallet and told Zhou Xiao to check it. Zhou Xiao then continued saying, "Let's forget it. Let me keep a nice fantasy space for myself first, in case someday I want to write a domineering CEO novel."
She also said what if it turns out that Zhao Fanzhou is poorer than her, and after breaking up, people misunderstand her as being greedy for wealth and disliking the poor? This would create a psychological burden. Zhou Xiao lacked confidence in her relationship with Zhao Fanzhou and always worried they would break up. Zhao Fanzhou didn't want her to always be so anxious about gains and losses and told her to believe that they would absolutely never break up.
Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she had prepared a small gift for him. The gift turned out to be a pink phone case. He indicated he didn't want it and got up to leave. Zhou Xiao then chased after him, lecturing him the whole way. In the end, Zhao Fanzhou still put the pink phone case on his phone. Just then, he received a call from his mother.
His mother told him that the hospital asked her to go to the psychiatry department for examination, and his father had left her alone at home, asking Zhao Fanzhou to quickly come home.
After Zhao Fanzhou received the call and explained the reason to Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao originally intended to go with Zhao Fanzhou to visit his mother, but considering his mother's emotions were not very stable, Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao to wait until next time to go together. After arriving home, Zhao Fanzhou discovered that his mother and Jia Yichun were chatting and laughing on the sofa. Zhao Fanzhou's mother also unintentionally found out that Zhao Fanzhou had a girlfriend.
As soon as she entered the room, she asked Zhao Fanzhou about his girlfriend. Zhao Fanzhou showed Shen Mengjun the photo of Zhou Xiao on his phone and said that Zhou Xiao had a good temper and was very kind. Shen Mengjun was quite satisfied with her impression of Zhou Xiao and asked Zhao Fanzhou to find time to bring Zhou Xiao back to visit.
The Chinese department teacher read Zhou Xiao's novel and thought the beginning was written quite well, but the ending was too bad. Just then, Zhou Xiao came in and told Teacher Shu that her novel was not yet finished and she didn't want to hastily end it just for the competition. Teacher Shu heard this and said that this was the correct attitude towards writing.
He also told her to go back and write it well and bring it to him to read when finished. During the last subject of the final exam, Zhao Fanzhou was anxious to find Zhou Xiao and finished answering and handed in his paper very quickly. Professor Hu told him to check it carefully again, as handing in the paper too quickly would create psychological pressure for other students. Zhao Fanzhou came to Zhou Xiao's examination venue.
Because Zhou Xiao was too careless, the other side of her exam paper was completely blank, so the invigilator, Teacher Shu, told her to use the remaining time to answer the questions properly. When the official time to hand in the papers arrived, Teacher Shu kept Zhou Xiao behind, preparing to recommend her to a one-week writing training camp organized by the Beijing Writers Association. Zhou Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this news. Summer vacation soon began.
Luo Wei had already packed her luggage and gone home to visit her grandfather. Zhu Lu was scheduled to go to Haicheng for a photo shoot activity according to the department's arrangement. Tao Ling was pouting because Fang Wei was staying at school to do research and wouldn't accompany her home.
After Zhou Xiao returned to the dorm, as soon as she heard Zhu Lu talk about the photo shoot in Haicheng, she said that place wasn't far from her home. Tao Ling immediately said, "Why don't we all go to Haicheng to play? We can go home on the way then." The three of them all thought this idea was very good and successively expressed their intention to go together.
Episode 19 Recap
Xie Yixing's feelings were known to all. Hearing that Zhu Lu was going to Haicheng for a photoshoot, he was worried about her safety as a girl traveling alone, so he decided to go to Haicheng as well, ostensibly for travel. However, fearing his intentions were too obvious, he asked Zhao Fanzhou to go with him. To his surprise, Zhao Fanzhou coldly refused him.
The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Fanzhou received a call from Zhou Xiao, immediately changed his mind, and agreed to go to Haicheng with Xie Yixing. This made Xie Yixing incredibly happy. He immediately got up to arrange a rental car. Tao Ling and Zhou Xiao were picking out snacks at the supermarket when Zhao Fanzhou arrived and gently squeezed Zhou Xiao's little face.
Tao Ling felt like a shining human lightbulb and went to another area to choose her provisions. Unexpectedly, she coincidentally ran into Cai Yasi buying a large pile of instant noodles. Zhou Xiao knew Cai Yasi's family situation inside out, which made the Zhao Fanzhou beside her a little jealous. Enthusiastic Tao Ling even invited Cai Yasi to go to Haicheng with them, suggesting the three of them could go home together afterward.
Cai Yasi originally had no plans to go, but prompted by Zhou Xiao, he also agreed to go to Haicheng. Xie Yixing spent a lot of money to rent two cars. He also sent Tao Ling to the other car, while he and Zhu Lu had a car to themselves. Cai Yasi was the last to arrive.
Zhao Fanzhou originally didn't want to give Cai Yasi a ride, so he locked the car door, but Zhou Xiao saw through his little scheme, and he awkwardly unlocked the door again. On the way, Xie Yixing kept secretly watching Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu told him to concentrate on driving and asked if he wanted to listen to music. Xie Yixing immediately acted up, declaring he would let Zhu Lu sample his sophisticated musical taste.
The result was that Xie Yixing's taste made him embarrass himself in front of Zhu Lu once again. In the car, Cai Yasi planned to play some music to relieve boredom, but he clicked the wrong signal and connected to another one. Just as he was trying to connect to the correct car signal, Zhao Fanzhou mercilessly turned off the music.
Cai Yasi was about to get angry but saw Zhao Fanzhou taking tender care of Zhou Xiao, so he said nothing more. Soon, they all arrived in Haicheng. As soon as Tao Ling saw the sea, she immediately got out of the car. Cai Yasi followed her. When Zhou Xiao woke up, she found Cai Yasi's bag left in the car and, with some intimacy, helped him retrieve it.
This made Zhao Fanzhou jealous, and he suddenly kissed Zhou Xiao in the car. Xie Yixing had been waiting at the hotel check-in counter for a long time. Zhou Xiao mistakenly thought Xie Yixing had arranged separate rooms for her and Zhao Fanzhou and quickly snatched back her ID card.
Xie Yixing immediately explained that he had only booked two rooms, one for the girls and one for the boys, and if they had other ideas, they could discuss them privately. Hearing this, Zhou Xiao felt very awkward, grabbed her luggage, and went to find the room first. Upon reaching the room, the exhausted Zhou Xiao immediately lay on the bed, but as soon as Zhao Fanzhou sat down on the bed, she immediately bounced up.
Just as the two were about to whisper, Cai Yasi knocked on the door to tell them to gather on the rooftop. Xie Yixing brought out some kites for them to practice with, stating that his confession plan for tomorrow depended on them. That evening, everyone enjoyed delicious barbecue and praised Zhao Fanzhou's grilling skills. Cai Yasi, feeling a bit unconvinced, followed Zhao Fanzhou's lead and started grilling as well.
Xie Yixing bought a lot of beer, and the three boys inexplicably started competing in drinking games, resulting in all of them getting drunk. Zhou Xiao and her friends had no choice but to help the three of them back to their rooms to rest. Cai Yasi, however, threw up on Zhao Fanzhou's bedsheets. Seeing this, Tao Ling told Zhou Xiao to quickly get him a new room.
The waiter reminded Zhou Xiao to be careful not to let drunk people sleep on their backs to avoid choking. Zhao Fanzhou was indeed very drunk. Normally cold and cool, he was surprisingly cute when drunk, insisting on holding Zhou Xiao's right hand. Zhou Xiao borrowed the hotel's pushcart and took him to the new room. Zhou Xiao spent a lot of effort getting Zhao Fanzhou back to the room.
Just as she was about to leave, she realized she had forgotten her room key. She called Tao Ling and Zhu Lu, but no one answered. Seeing Zhao Fanzhou sleeping on his back, she decided to stay and accompany him for a while. After a while, Zhou Xiao woke up and found that Zhao Fanzhou was actually showering in the bathroom. She quickly pretended to be asleep again. Zhao Fanzhou came out shirtless and approached Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao was so scared she immediately jumped up and said she was leaving. However, Zhao Fanzhou suddenly told her to wash up first; it turned out her hair had barbecue sauce on it. Given that she had lost her room key, she had no choice but to wash her hair and shower in Zhao Fanzhou's room.
Zhao Fanzhou told Zhou Xiao that she would need her ID card to register for a room key at the front desk, but Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she hadn't brought her ID card either. Since Zhou Xiao didn't have her ID card, Zhao Fanzhou couldn't help her get a room key. After showering, Zhou Xiao could only lie on the bed next to Zhao Fanzhou's. However, she was too nervous to sleep, so she turned on the TV.
Zhou Xiao was terrified by the horror movie but was also drawn into the plot and insisted on watching it. Zhao Fanzhou sat on her bed and pulled her into his arms, easing her fear. After the show ended, Zhao Fanzhou naturally lay down on Zhou Xiao's bed, and the two of them squeezed onto one bed. Zhao Fanzhou told Zhou Xiao he wouldn't do anything, but Zhou Xiao seemed very nervous, which made Zhao Fanzhou a bit uncomfortable.
He then got up and returned to his own bed. Zhou Xiao mistakenly thought Zhao Fanzhou was angry. Zhao Fanzhou told her she didn't need to be afraid of him; if she wasn't willing, he wouldn't mess around. Hearing this, Zhou Xiao immediately relaxed, ran to Zhao Fanzhou's bed, hugged him, and fell asleep. The next day, the two brushed their teeth together. Zhou Xiao said she had slept soundly last night, but Zhao Fanzhou said he hadn't slept well.
On the beach, Xie Yixing confessed to Zhu Lu again and asked if she could like him too. This time, Zhu Lu did not refuse him, and the two hugged and kissed on the beach. Tao Ling teased Zhou Xiao about not coming back last night. Seeing Xie Yixing's confession succeed, Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao left early to enjoy their private time together at the seaside for a date.
Zhao Fanzhou left Tao Ling and Cai Yasi behind and drove Zhou Xiao home first. Zhao Fanzhou wanted to help Zhou Xiao carry her luggage upstairs, but Zhou Xiao refused. Zhou Xiao explained that she was afraid of disturbing her parents. Zhao Fanzhou couldn't argue with her. Just as he was about to pull her in for a farewell kiss, he was caught red-handed by Zhou Xiao's father, who was standing in the distance planning to throw out the trash.
Episode 20 Recap
When Zhou Xiao saw her father, she pushed Zhao Fanzhou away in a panic and told him they were finished. Zhao Fanzhou, feigning calmness, introduced his name to Zhou Xiao's father. Just like that, Zhao Fanzhou was invited into Zhou Xiao's home. Her father, being the head of discipline, was unusually serious. Zhou Xiao's mother also interrogated Zhou Xiao about Zhao Fanzhou's specifics.
Zhou Xiao felt her mother had a prejudice against Zhao Fanzhou's forensic science major, so she told her mother that every profession should be respected. Her mother was stunned by what she said and claimed she had no prejudice against forensic science. Zhou Xiao's mother was very satisfied with Zhao Fanzhou, feeling that her daughter had found a treasure. She asked Zhou Xiao to tell her exactly how the two of them got together.
Her mother was overjoyed when she heard the story. In the living room, Zhou Xiao's father sat very seriously, looking as if he was about to lecture Zhao Fanzhou. It was highly likely he wanted to give Zhao Fanzhou a stern warning, insisting that Zhao Fanzhou must follow the rules and know his place.
In the end, he even asked Zhao Fanzhou to go to the kitchen to cook, which left both Zhou Xiao and her mother looking stunned, thinking Zhou Xiao's father was acting too strangely. But Zhao Fanzhou immediately said he was willing to give it a try.
Once in the kitchen, Zhao Fanzhou's excellent knife skills truly impressed Zhou Xiao and her mother, but Zhou Xiao's father said it was just a superficial trick and not practical; whether the food was good or not would only be known after tasting it. Zhao Fanzhou cooked the dishes very skillfully. Zhou Xiao's mother pulled Zhou Xiao's father back into the room. Seeing her parents weren't there, Zhou Xiao also went into the kitchen, planning to help Zhao Fanzhou.
However, Zhao Fanzhou, wanting to leave a good impression on his future father-in-law, was very mindful of the rules and boundaries, not daring to be too intimate with Zhou Xiao. He pushed Zhou Xiao out into the living room to watch TV. Zhou Xiao turned on the TV and then ran back to the kitchen; people in love are just this clingy. Zhao Fanzhou, on the other hand, seriously started making chicken wings.
Back in the room, Zhou Xiao's mother started lecturing Zhou Xiao's father, saying they sat in the living room with Zhao Fanzhou for almost half an hour, yet he only knew how to be angry with Zhao Fanzhou and didn't ask anything. Zhou Xiao's mother seemed to have accepted Zhao Fanzhou as the candidate for her future son-in-law, affectionately calling him Xiao Zhou.
Zhou Xiao's father loved his daughter dearly and felt that Cai Yasi, his preferred candidate for son-in-law, had only just barely passed the minimum requirement. Zhou Xiao's mother carefully dressed herself up, saying she wanted to leave a good impression on Zhao Fanzhou, but Zhou Xiao's father deliberately invited Cai Yasi to come over for dinner. In the kitchen, Zhao Fanzhou carefully prepared dinner for everyone. Zhou Xiao also stayed close by, giving him a shoulder massage and back rub.
Zhao Fanzhou then asked Zhou Xiao to help him coat the chicken wings with flour. Zhou Xiao, true to her playful nature, suddenly took a pinch of flour and gradually approached Zhao Fanzhou. Just as she was about to smear it on Zhao Fanzhou's face, he discovered her. Zhao Fanzhou again reminded her to listen to Zhou Xiao's father and adhere to the rules and boundaries. Zhao Fanzhou feigned anger, picked up Zhou Xiao and placed her on the counter.
As he pretended to lean in for a kiss, he blew a puff of air at Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao felt she had been teased again. Zhou Xiao's father deliberately invited Cai Yasi to come over for dinner and made things difficult for Zhao Fanzhou in every way, repeatedly finding fault with the dishes he cooked. However, Zhou Xiao's mother praised Zhao Fanzhou's cooking skills endlessly.
At the dinner table, Zhou Xiao's father kept praising Cai Yasi for being smart and capable, and urged Zhao Fanzhou to go home early. But Zhou Xiao's mother sang a different tune, asking Zhao Fanzhou to stay overnight at their house. Zhou Xiao was stunned when she heard this. After dinner, Zhou Xiao's mother, Zhou Xiao, and Zhao Fanzhou sat on the sofa watching TV.
Zhao Fanzhou voluntarily went to the kitchen to cut watermelon and unexpectedly discovered Zhou Xiao's father secretly eating chicken wings. Zhou Xiao's mother returned to the room to prepare a quilt for Zhao Fanzhou. Zhou Xiao deliberately leaned on Zhao Fanzhou's shoulder and was seen by her parents. Zhou Xiao immediately jumped up and ran back to her room.
Zhou Xiao's father was afraid that if Zhao Fanzhou slept on the living room sofa, he might do something inappropriate with Zhou Xiao, so he had Zhao Fanzhou sleep in the same room as him. Zhao Fanzhou shared a bed with Zhou Xiao's father and was kept awake all night by his snoring and restless sleeping habits. Zhou Xiao overslept in the morning.
Zhou Xiao's father read aloud from the novel Zhou Xiao had written herself, forcefully waking her from her sleep. At breakfast, Zhou Xiao was the first to serve porridge to Zhao Fanzhou. Zhou Xiao's father watched from the side and couldn't help but feel jealous. Zhao Fanzhou saw how happy the family was together and was very envious. Zhao Fanzhou really liked the harmonious family atmosphere at Zhou Xiao's home.
Zhou Xiao's mother told Zhao Fanzhou to stay at her house for a few more days if he had nothing else to do, and also asked him to take Zhou Xiao to a nearby park to play together. But Zhao Fanzhou suddenly changed his mind because of his mother's matter and had to go home right away to check on her. As soon as he got home, Zhao Fanzhou saw the entire house in a mess.
His father told him about the disagreements he and his mother had had over the years, how constant arguments had eroded what little familial affection remained. Zhao Fanzhou's father told Zhao Fanzhou that he had just put sleeping pills in his mother's water because his mother's emotional fluctuations just now really seemed a bit unusual. Zhao Fanzhou heard this, remembered the nurse's instructions at the hospital, and immediately told his father to take his mother to the hospital for an examination.
Episode 21 Recap
Zhao Fanzhou suspected that his mother might have a mental problem. After the doctors' consultation, they directly told them that Shen Mengjun's condition did not seem optimistic, and she appeared to have bipolar disorder. They also informed them that treating bipolar disorder is a very long process and advised them to be psychologically prepared, suggesting they seek treatment at a large hospital in Beijing. While they were talking, Jia Yichun entered wearing a nurse's uniform.
Zhao Fanzhou's father was a bit surprised to see her. Jia Yichun explained that she was interning in the psychiatry department. That evening, in the ward, Zhao Fanzhou's father said he might not be able to accompany them to Beijing the day after tomorrow because he had a very important contract to sign and really didn't want to waste two years of tracking the project. So he asked Zhao Fanzhou to take his mother to Beijing alone.
Zhou Xiao called to tell Zhao Fanzhou that the writing training camp in Beijing had started early, so she would be taking the high-speed train to Beijing the day after tomorrow. Zhao Fanzhou hesitated when he heard this, wanting to speak but ultimately not saying anything. He just told Zhou Xiao not to worry, that his mother's emotions were unstable but otherwise okay, and told Zhou Xiao to go to bed early.
Zhao Fanzhou meticulously cared for his mother in the hospital, but his mother refused to go for the examination in Beijing. Zhao Fanzhou then lied, saying his father had gone to Beijing to arrange a bed for her, which made his mother's emotions more stable, and she agreed to go to Beijing for treatment. Zhou Xiao packed her luggage for Beijing. Her parents saw her off. Just as she got downstairs, she received a call from Zhao Fanzhou.
Zhao Fanzhou was about to tell Zhou Xiao that he was also on his way to Beijing, but Zhou Xiao was interrupted by Zhou Xiao's mother. Zhou Xiao's mother also wanted to say hello to Zhao Fanzhou, but Zhou Xiao's father was unwilling. To stop her parents from arguing, Zhou Xiao hung up Zhao Fanzhou's call.
At the waiting area, Shen Mengjun mistakenly thought Zhao Fanzhou had been hung up on and nervously reminded Zhao Fanzhou that he must do everything possible to firmly hold onto someone he likes. Shen Mengjun also asked if Zhao Fanzhou's father would pick them up when they arrived in Beijing. To comfort his mother, Zhao Fanzhou said it wasn't convenient for his father as he didn't have a car in Beijing.
Shen Mengjun found this reasonable and told Zhao Fanzhou that they would go directly to the hospital. Upon arrival at the Beijing hospital, Zhao Fanzhou accompanied Shen Mengjun to complete the admission procedures. Shen Mengjun was disappointed not to see Zhao Fanzhou's father and was unable to reach him by phone. Her emotions started to fluctuate, and she accused Zhao Fanzhou and his father of conspiring to deceive her, causing a big scene at the hospital.
Zhao Fanzhou was informed by the doctor that Shen Mengjun's bipolar disorder was hereditary and was advised to get a genetic test. Zhao Fanzhou met Zhou Xiao at the hospital. He didn't want Zhou Xiao to know about his mother's illness and didn't want her to see her. Zhou Xiao saw that he was evasive and noticed the registration slip in his hand. She had a wild thought and assumed he had a terminal illness and started crying.
Zhao Fanzhou was embarrassed and quickly covered Zhou Xiao's mouth and walked her outside. At the same time, he told her that his mother had bipolar disorder and was staying in the psychiatry department, and that he hadn't told her because he was worried she would be scared. The two people in love met again in Beijing. Zhao Fanzhou was initially afraid that his mother's episodes might scare Zhou Xiao, so he said the doctor instructed her to rest quietly.
But Zhou Xiao insisted on following Zhao Fanzhou to see Shen Mengjun, stating that she was brave and not afraid of being scared, and that she would forget after being scared. In reality, Zhou Xiao was very nervous about meeting Zhao Fanzhou's mother and called her sisters for advice. However, her roommates had different opinions about Zhao Fanzhou going to Beijing without telling Zhou Xiao.
Luo Wei thought Zhao Fanzhou was responsible and a good man, but Zhu Lu thought Zhao Fanzhou carried everything himself and didn't treat Zhou Xiao as someone close to him. Zhou Xiao brought fruit to the hospital to see his mother. Because she was too nervous, she even left the fruit outside the ward. When Zhao Fanzhou saw Zhou Xiao arrive, he introduced Zhou Xiao to his mother.
Just as they entered the room, a nurse called Zhao Fanzhou to the doctor. Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou to go and not worry, and that she would take good care of his auntie. Shen Mengjun did not cooperate with taking her medicine. As soon as the nurse left, she spat out the medicine she hadn't swallowed. Zhou Xiao gave Shen Mengjun an apple peel she had peeled to make a wish.
Shen Mengjun wished on the apple peel that Zhao Fanzhou's father would not divorce her. This wish reminded her of unhappy past events, and her emotions started to become agitated again, lashing out at Zhou Xiao. Fortunately, Zhao Fanzhou rushed back in time. Shen Mengjun's reaction greatly shocked Zhou Xiao, and she took a long time to calm down. Zhao Fanzhou took Zhou Xiao to the airport.
Although he was very reluctant to let Zhou Xiao go, he didn't feel comfortable asking her to stay for a few more days. Zhou Xiao accidentally said she went to see Zhao Fanzhou's mother after returning home. At the same time, Zhao Fanzhou also underwent the hereditary genetic test. Time passed day by day. Zhou Xiao asked Zhao Fanzhou when he would register for school as the semester was about to start.
Zhao Fanzhou was a little worried that his father would not be able to take good care of his mother at the hospital. His father had a heart-to-heart talk with him, saying that Zhou Xiao was a good girl and that he should cherish her. After listening, Zhao Fanzhou told his father that if the genetic test confirmed that his hereditary genes included bipolar disorder, he would voluntarily break up with Zhou Xiao.
He did not want to drag Zhou Xiao down and make her an unhappy person too. Cai Yasi came to Zhou Xiao's house to bring watermelon and also helped Zhou Xiao's father fix the electric fan. The two of them ate watermelon and teased each other. When Zhou Xiao's parents returned home and saw them playing around, they felt that Zhao Fanzhou would be a more reliable son-in-law.
Zhou Xiao, who had arrived at school first, lied to her father, saying that Zhao Fanzhou would pick her up to return to school. Cai Yasi asked her why she was lying. Zhou Xiao told him that this was to help Zhao Fanzhou get some good initial impression points. She, on the other hand, planned to pick up Zhao Fanzhou to return to school and give him a big surprise.
Episode 22 Recap
As soon as Zhao Fanzhou exited the station, he was a little surprised to see Zhou Xiao coming to pick him up, but when he saw Zhou Xiao rushing over and nearly getting hit by a car, and realizing it was already one in the morning, he was a bit angry at Zhou Xiao's recklessness. Zhou Xiao's original intention in picking up Zhao Fanzhou was to give him a surprise, but she ended up making Zhao Fanzhou angry instead.
Zhao Fanzhou didn't say a word the whole way. Zhou Xiao deliberately complained and acted spoiled, trying to win Zhao Fanzhou's sympathy. When they got to school, Zhou Xiao found that Zhao Fanzhou was still a bit unhappy, so she cast a "no getting angry" spell on Zhao Fanzhou, which finally amused him with her childish behavior.
Zhou Xiao's mental state wasn't very good because she had stayed up all night writing her draft, and she actually fell asleep during the forensic science class. Zhao Fanzhou asked her why she was in such a hurry to write the draft.
Zhou Xiao told him that the writing training camp in Beijing required her to submit a draft, and if she was lucky, her book could even be published, which would make her feel that her life hadn't been lived in vain. Zhao Fanzhou talked about love with Zhou Xiao during class, but this didn't affect his lecture quality; he answered the questions perfectly correctly.
Professor Hu praised him but also reminded him to pay attention to classroom discipline and not be too close to Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao took out wind oil essence (refreshing oil) and was about to use it to refresh herself. While Zhao Fanzhou stopped her, he accidentally rubbed it into his own eyes and couldn't stop crying. Xie Yixing walked around the campus with his arm around Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu felt it was too high-profile and shook him off.
She also told him that someone had uploaded a photo of the two of them online last time, and his fans had dropped by nearly half. Xie Yixing was secretly happy when he heard this, realizing that Zhu Lu had also been secretly paying attention to his Weibo. He also told Zhu Lu that he had posted that photo from his secondary account because he really wanted everyone to know that he liked her.
Zhu Lu turned her head away shyly upon hearing this and muttered to herself, "Who just confesses so easily?" Zhu Lu and Xie Yixing were eating in the cafeteria and happened to see Tao Ling, who had been stood up by Fang Wei, so they waved her over to eat with them. Soon after, Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou also came and shared the table with them.
Zhu Lu teased Zhou Xiao that eating was like a world war, and only Zhao Fanzhou could control her. The two couples openly showed affection, making Tao Ling completely lose her appetite. She casually picked up a flyer for World Suicide Prevention Day from the medical school on the table and invited Zhou Xiao to attend the event together. Zhao Fanzhou reminded Zhou Xiao that she had to rush her draft, so she had to give it up for now.
After eating, Zhou Xiao felt she had no inspiration, so she went to buy ice cream. Zhao Fanzhou sent a WeChat message asking his father when his mother would be transferred back so he could pick them up. His father told him that this small matter had already been handled and his mother had been transferred back. Zhou Xiao, who had finished buying ice cream, suggested going to see auntie together.
She told Zhao Fanzhou that although Shen Mengjun's outburst last time had greatly shocked her, she was not afraid. Her only request was for Zhao Fanzhou to swap the ice cream flavors she had just bought with him, because the new lavender flavor tasted exactly like laundry detergent and was really too unpleasant. Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou went to the hospital to see auntie. Zhou Xiao was still very nervous.
Zhou Xiao also teased Zhao Fanzhou, saying he was as well-behaved as a little quail when he went to her house last time. After getting out of the car, Zhou Xiao decided to buy a bouquet of flowers for auntie. Jia Yichun secretly looked at Zhao Fanzhou's genetic test report and was very happy to see that the risk was extremely low, so she planned to take the report to him.
But outside the ward, she saw the two of them playing around inside the ward, and combined with Zhao Jian telling her that if Zhao Fanzhou knew he might have the possibility of getting sick, he would break up with Zhou Xiao, she suddenly changed her mind and put away the test report. Zhou Xiao came to the hospital to accompany Zhao Fanzhou's auntie whenever she had free time, and even brought her laptop to the ward to continue writing.
Auntie seemed to like Zhou Xiao very much and always told Zhao Fanzhou to take good care of her. When auntie was unhappy, Zhou Xiao always had many ways to make auntie laugh heartily. With Zhou Xiao there, Auntie Zhao's condition also seemed to get much better. After working day and night to rush her draft, Zhou Xiao's draft was finally finished.
She called Zhao Fanzhou to ask him to go to the life education activity that Tao Ling had mentioned the next day. Zhao Fanzhou saw his genetic test report showing a very high risk, and tears immediately fell. The next day, Zhao Fanzhou accompanied Zhou Xiao to the activity as promised.
Tao Ling was in a bad mood because she had been stood up by Fang Wei, so she casually lectured Zhao Fanzhou not to always make Zhou Xiao wait for him. At this time, Zhao Fanzhou was preoccupied with his thoughts and remained silent the whole way. Xie Yixing took the opportunity to kiss Zhu Lu while experiencing the "return to the womb" activity.
When Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou experienced the aging project, Zhao Fanzhou was very reluctant to let go of Zhou Xiao. He pulled Zhou Xiao into a tight hug, saying that he was willing to be annoyed to death by Zhou Xiao, but he was still troubled inside. Zhou Xiao was very engaged in the activities. When the two experienced the death project, Zhou Xiao lay in the body bag and found it absolutely hilarious, enjoying the experience very much.
In the scenario, Zhou Xiao suddenly asked Zhao Fanzhou what last words he would leave if it were the last moment of his life. Zhao Fanzhou told her: "Let's break up." Zhou Xiao's mind went blank, and she asked him to say it again, so Zhao Fanzhou repeated very seriously, "Let's break up."
Episode 23 Recap
Zhou Xiao couldn't believe the news that Zhao Fanzhou was breaking up with her, warning Zhao Fanzhou that she didn't like such jokes, but Zhao Fanzhou told her very seriously that he wasn't joking. Zhou Xiao wanted to know the reason for the breakup, but Zhao Fanzhou intended to hide it to the end, saying a faint "sorry" and then telling Zhou Xiao that he wasn't suitable for being in a relationship right now.
Zhou Xiao told Zhao Fanzhou that she had never disliked his mother's illness, and questioned Zhao Fanzhou why he was still using the pink couple phone case she had given him after they broke up. Zhao Fanzhou reluctantly took off the phone case, wanting to return it to Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao angrily threw the pink phone case she had previously given to Zhao Fanzhou hard at Zhao Fanzhou and then left the activity room.
Zhou Xiao was hoping that Zhao Fanzhou would chase after her, and after waiting for a long time, Zhou Xiao had no choice but to wipe away her tears and leave silently alone. Cai Yasi happened to bump into Zhou Xiao, who was in a very low mood, and immediately chased after her, asking her what had happened.
Zhou Xiao told Cai Yasi that she really wanted to cry, but she was afraid that crying on campus would be too embarrassing if people saw her, so Cai Yasi had no choice but to pull her and take her to the detective club.
Seeing Zhou Xiao crying like a fountain, Cai Yasi felt very sorry for her, so he complained about why she had to be in a relationship as soon as she entered college, saying that it would be better to study hard, and now she had been broken up with inexplicably. He took the opportunity to put his arm around Zhou Xiao and let her cry to her heart's content.
This inexplicable breakup made Zhou Xiao really sad, and Zhao Fanzhou wasn't necessarily any happier. The decision to break up was also out of helplessness. As a person with a genetic risk of bipolar disorder, how could he bring happiness to Zhou Xiao? He just sat there silently, thinking about all the sweet moments he had shared with Zhou Xiao.
After the breakup, Zhou Xiao hoped that Zhao Fanzhou could send her a message, but she also knew in her heart that the possibility of that was basically zero. Tao Ling and Luo Wei encouraged her to go to the student union to get the application form for the new school year's club reshuffle. If she happened to meet Zhao Fanzhou, she could ask him why they broke up.
But when Zhou Xiao plucked up her courage to go to the student union to get the application form, she unexpectedly heard the news that Zhao Fanzhou had already withdrawn from the student union. In the library, Zhou Xiao also received an email requesting Zhao Fanzhou's withdrawal from the detective club. She really couldn't understand why Zhao Fanzhou had suddenly become so indifferent. After the breakup, Zhao Fanzhou's emotions had actually been in a depressed state.
He didn't respond to anything Xie Yixing shared. Cai Yasi, who was sticking up for Zhou Xiao, found Zhao Fanzhou and accused Zhao Fanzhou of breaking up but not even giving a reason for the breakup, and beat him up. Afterwards, Cai Yasi said that he would definitely take good care of Zhou Xiao. Somewhat unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou actually sincerely asked Cai Yasi to take good care of Zhou Xiao.
Zhao Fanzhou could rattle off all sorts of details about Zhou Xiao's life, deeply imprinted in his heart. Cai Yasi interrupted him, telling him that he knew how to take care of Zhou Xiao and would take even better care of her. Zhou Xiao felt as if Zhao Fanzhou had really disappeared from her world, but memories flashed through her mind like a movie, only Zhao Fanzhou, the person beside her, was gone.
Zhou Xiao came alone to the recreational vehicle where Zhao Fanzhou had first kissed her. She felt that it was really very sad for someone to suddenly come into her world and then suddenly leave. The sweeter the past, the more painful it was now. Every corner of the campus held too many sweet memories of the two of them. Zhou Xiao, touched by the scene, couldn't hold back her last bit of stubbornness and shed tears of grievance.
Jia Yichun comforted Zhao Fanzhou's mother in the ward. Zhao Fanzhou's mother also missed Zhou Xiao very much because she hadn't seen her for a long time, so she asked Zhao Fanzhou to bring Zhou Xiao to the hospital to see her, thinking that the two of them were probably arguing. She speculated wildly and thought that their argument and breakup must be because of her.
Zhao Fanzhou immediately comforted his mother, saying that Zhou Xiao wasn't that kind of person. Zhao Fanzhou's mother was very happy to hear this and told Zhao Fanzhou to remember to have Zhou Xiao come to the hospital to see her. In order to create more opportunities to be with Zhou Xiao, Cai Yasi also came to apply for a part-time job at the library.
At the same time, Zhao Fanzhou was helping a teacher who couldn't get online to fix their computer, and the three of them gathered awkwardly in the library. The three of them went to the rare book room to complete the handover procedures. Zhao Fanzhou secretly watched the interaction and playfulness between Cai Yasi and Zhou Xiao, and he felt a unique emotion in his heart. Zhou Xiao accidentally got a splinter in her hand while organizing books.
Zhao Fanzhou became very nervous and pulled Zhou Xiao's hand, asking her if she was okay, already forgetting the fact that he and Zhou Xiao had broken up. Cai Yasi also rushed over upon hearing this and forcibly dragged Zhou Xiao to the school hospital. On the way there, it just so happened that Zhao Fanzhou's mother called Zhou Xiao, asking her to go to the hospital to have dinner with her.
Zhou Xiao originally wanted to tell Zhao Fanzhou's mother the truth, but she held back in the end and didn't tell Zhao Fanzhou's mother that she and Zhao Fanzhou had broken up.
Episode 24 Recap
After Zhao Fanzhou's mother and Zhou Xiao finished their takeout, they planned to pack the leftovers to give to the stray dogs downstairs. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou suddenly came to the hospital. Zhao Fanzhou's mother gave the remaining food to Zhao Fanzhou to eat. Zhou Xiao saw this and wanted to say something but held back.
Zhao Fanzhou's mother noticed that the two of them weren't as close as before, so she deliberately asked Zhou Xiao to feed Zhao Fanzhou fruit and also asked Zhou Xiao to help her correct Zhao Fanzhou's habit of not eating fruit. To prevent Zhao Fanzhou's mother from noticing the subtle awkwardness between them, Zhou Xiao still fed Zhao Fanzhou fruit.
Because Zhou Xiao still had a splinter in her hand that hadn't been dealt with, it hurt a little, so Zhao Fanzhou's mother asked Zhao Fanzhou to help take a look. Zhao Fanzhou carefully helped Zhou Xiao check it. At the same time, Zhao Fanzhou's mother enthusiastically asked Zhou Xiao to accompany her for meals, but the replies she got were always that Zhou Xiao didn't have time to accompany her.
To avoid more lies and awkwardness, Zhao Fanzhou had to confess to his mother the fact that they had broken up. Just as she was about to ask what exactly had happened between the two of them, Zhou Xiao suddenly left the ward. Zhou Xiao walked and cried, getting lost in the hospital corridor. She called Cai Yasi downstairs to come up and pick her up. The two happened to meet in the elevator.
Just then, Zhao Fanzhou also chased after them with the backpack Zhou Xiao had left behind. Cai Yasi was worried Zhou Xiao would be upset seeing Zhao Fanzhou, so he blocked her view. The elevator doors slowly closed. Zhou Xiao couldn't take it anymore, she squatted down in the elevator and burst into tears. As Zhao Fanzhou looked at the tightly closed and descending elevator doors, it was as if all their past sweet memories were interrupted.
Zhou Xiao told herself that in certain moments, the pain was truly unbearable. Zhao Fanzhou's mother blamed their breakup on herself having a mental illness, feeling she was the culprit. However, Zhao Fanzhou comforted his mother, saying their breakup was his own problem. Due to the stimulus of the breakup incident, Zhao Fanzhou's mother's emotions went out of control again.
A doctor came to the room to check her condition and told Zhao Fanzhou and his father to be prepared for a relapse, suggesting they go back to a Beijing hospital for treatment and be mentally prepared for the long term. To comfort Zhou Xiao, Cai Yasi insisted on dragging her to play go-karts to vent her emotions. Unexpectedly, the go-kart place was closed.
Zhou Xiao, who had just returned from the restroom, also unexpectedly overheard Cai Yasi telling the go-kart owner that he liked her very much. For a moment, she was a little distracted. During their break after playing, Zhou Xiao suddenly asked Cai Yasi if he liked her and told Cai Yasi that if he liked her, he must tell her so she could properly reject him.
Hearing this, Cai Yasi lied to Zhou Xiao, saying he didn't like her, because he didn't want their relationship, which had been close since childhood, to suddenly become too awkward. But in his heart, Cai Yasi had long decided he could wait for the day Zhou Xiao would like him, because right now he didn't want to make Zhou Xiao feel troubled in her love life again.
Due to his mother's illness, Zhao Fanzhou was worried his father wouldn't be able to take good care of her, so he decided to go to school to apply for a leave of absence. While cleaning and messing around in the library, the moment Cai Yasi locked Zhou Xiao's glass door, Zhou Xiao was reminded of the scene when Zhao Fanzhou confessed to her. Emotions surged, and she left Cai Yasi to clean alone, leaving Cai Yasi feeling inexplicable.
Professor Hu was very happy to see Zhao Fanzhou return to school, thinking he was rejoining to be his assistant for experiments. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fanzhou told him that he needed to apply for a leave of absence due to his mother's illness. Professor Hu was a little regretful but told him to definitely come back and continue being his assistant when he returned.
It was clear that Professor Hu was very reluctant to part with Zhao Fanzhou and told Zhao Fanzhou that he would wait for him to come back. Zhao Fanzhou held the application form for a leave of absence and walked on campus, passing by Zhou Xiao and Cai Yasi, who were talking and laughing. At this moment, his world became lonely again, and today he was someone preparing to leave everything behind, a farewell-taker.
When Xie Yixing and Zhu Lu were eating in the cafeteria, Xie Yixing asked Zhu Lu to go with him to England for a competition. Just then, Cai Yasi and Zhou Xiao also sat down to eat together. Because the dormitory management planned to arrange someone to share a room with Xie Yixing, Xie Yixing told the management that his roommate could only be Zhao Fanzhou.
This is how Zhou Xiao also found out about Zhao Fanzhou taking a leave of absence. At the airport for Beijing, Zhao Fanzhou's phone still had the pink phone case on it, and the screen was still the sweet photo of him and Zhou Xiao. Tears couldn't help but fill his eyes. In his heart, he didn't know how long this trip to Beijing would separate him from Zhou Xiao.
Zhao Fanzhou was very happy scrolling through his social media in the hospital room and seeing that Zhou Xiao's book had finally been published. His mother was clamoring for other flavors of ice cream, so Zhao Fanzhou buried his head and bumped into a little girl who also liked Conan, knocking her to the ground. For a moment, he felt that this little girl was particularly like Zhou Xiao, so he decided to buy her some ice cream.
The little girl didn't refuse his kindness, but she asked Zhao Fanzhou to help her turn the pages of a book for her to read. Zhao Fanzhou readily did as she asked. The little girl suddenly asked Zhao Fanzhou if there was someone he missed dearly and wanted to see. That single sentence filled Zhao Fanzhou's heart with Zhou Xiao.
He really couldn't help but want to go back and see Zhou Xiao, so he impulsively bought a ticket back to school. Zhou Xiao and Cai Yasi stayed in the bookstore for almost a whole day. Zhou Xiao was really looking forward to someone buying her book, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After waiting for a very long time, no one still bought her book "The Double-Faced Man: The Bloody Forensic Doctor".
As soon as Zhao Fanzhou got off the plane, he came to the girls' dormitory. He was hoping to see Zhou Xiao again, but he waited for a long, long time and saw no one. Just as he was feeling a bit disheartened, he finally saw Zhou Xiao and Cai Yasi fooling around on their way back to the dormitory.
But he didn't want Zhou Xiao to know that he had secretly come back to see her, so he stealthily hid behind a big tree again. For a moment, Zhou Xiao also thought she saw Zhao Fanzhou, but upon closer inspection, there was no one there, and she felt that she was probably just seeing things because she missed him too much.
Episode 25 Recap
Jia Yichun saw Zhao Fanzhou come to see Zhou Xiao and called out to him, saying that she had something very important to tell him. Jia Yichun told Zhao Fanzhou that her parents were immigrating and she would follow them. She expressed that she liked him and could disobey her parents to stay and be with him for him, but Zhao Fanzhou refused her very directly, saying that she never had a chance.
Zhao Fanzhou, who only stayed at school for one day, returned to Beijing. He specifically bought a copy of Zhou Xiao's novel and devoured it, neglecting meals and sleep. In the school library, Zhou Xiao's novel was placed in the most conspicuous position by Cai Yasi and a teacher. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. Zhao Fanzhou's mother was finally discharged from the hospital under the careful companionship and care of Zhao's father.
While tidying up, his father found a package Jia Yichun had sent to Zhao Fanzhou a year ago, but Zhao Fanzhou had never opened it. Out of curiosity, Zhao's father opened it and found Zhao Fanzhou's genetic test report. Zhao Fanzhou saw that the data was different from what he had seen before and immediately called Jia Yichun to ask for the truth. Jia Yichun told him that the previous report was fabricated and this one was real.
Upon learning the truth, Zhao Fanzhou told her that he never wanted to see her again and hung up the phone in great anger. Zhao Fanzhou's mother guessed that the reason for Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao's breakup was that genetic test report, so she asked Zhao Fanzhou to talk to her properly. Zhao Fanzhou told his mother that so much time had passed, and he had secretly gone to the school to see Zhou Xiao.
Seeing that she was living happily now, he didn't want to disturb her anymore. Zhao Fanzhou's mother felt very sorry for her son when she heard this, because her illness had affected her son's relationship choices. She said that indeed some people are not qualified to be parents, and at the same time encouraged Zhao Fanzhou not to hesitate and to relentlessly pursue Zhou Xiao back again. Zhao Fanzhou returned to the familiar entrance of the girls' dormitory.
The rain was quite heavy. He happened to see Zhou Xiao coming downstairs to take out the trash and went forward to hold an umbrella for her. They exchanged a long-awaited "long time no see". However, this time Zhou Xiao was no longer as happy as before, but instead ran back to the dormitory in a panic, looking preoccupied. When Zhu Lu heard that Zhao Fanzhou was back, she planned to extinguish Zhao Fanzhou for Zhou Xiao.
Xie Yixing was very happy to see Zhao Fanzhou back, saying he finally didn't have to try every means to refuse the dormitory management center from arranging new people to move in. Of course, Zhao Fanzhou also learned about Zhou Xiao going to set up an exhibition from Xie Yixing and Zhu Lu's conversation. The next day, Zhao Fanzhou came to the exhibition site and followed Zhou Xiao all the way.
Cai Yasi and Zhao Fanzhou scrambled to serve Zhou Xiao enthusiastically. To avoid embarrassment, Zhou Xiao escaped from the exhibition center and happened to meet Tao Ling and Fang Wei arguing. Zhao Fanzhou followed Zhou Xiao and secretly hid in a small room. Zhao Fanzhou held Zhou Xiao's hand and told her that he wanted to start over with her, but Zhou Xiao thought Zhao Fanzhou was crazy, breaking up and getting back together as if it were a game.
Zhao Fanzhou continued to explain that he proposed the breakup because he mistakenly thought he would get bipolar disorder, but a few days ago he learned that Jia Yichun had altered his medical record, and he had no possibility of getting the illness. But Zhou Xiao only said lightly after hearing this, "I know," and told Zhao Fanzhou that it turned out in his eyes, she was the one who couldn't endure hardships with him.
Although the misunderstanding was explained, Zhou Xiao felt much more relaxed, but she didn't want to forgive Zhao Fanzhou, after all, the hurt he had caused her initially was too deep. Early the next morning, as soon as Zhu Lu and Luo Wei woke up, they found Zhou Xiao and Tao Ling lying on the ground.
Tao Ling cried herself half to death because of the breakup, but she really didn't understand why Zhou Xiao would cry when being pursued, which seemed a bit nonsensical. Professor Hu and Zhao Fanzhou went to the cafeteria to eat and happened to bump into Xie Yixing and Zhu Lu.
Zhu Lu felt extremely indignant about Zhao Fanzhou suddenly breaking up with Zhou Xiao and refused to let Zhao Fanzhou go to the library with them, stating that they didn't welcome him. Tao Ling told Fang Wei that breaking up was just something she said, and she looked forward to Fang Wei coming downstairs to her dormitory to find her. However, Tao Ling didn't wait for Fang Wei, but Zhou Xiao waited for Zhao Fanzhou to deliver breakfast to her.
Zhao Fanzhou's relentless pursuit made her very flustered. She warned Zhao Fanzhou not to follow her anymore. Tao Ling, seeing Zhao Fanzhou's pitiful appearance from the side, felt a little unbearable. Cai Yasi was worried that Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou would reconcile and was about to ask her about it when Zhao Fanzhou happened to come to the exhibition center to help, following Zhou Xiao closely like a shadow.
But it was obvious that this time Zhou Xiao was very cold towards him. Tao Ling was hesitating whether to call Fang Wei when Cai Yasi called out to her. Seeing her troubled look, Cai Yasi couldn't help but mock her, but who knew Tao Ling would laugh back at him, saying he hadn't made any progress in pursuing Zhou Xiao. She had just seen Zhao Fanzhou follow Zhou Xiao out.
As soon as Cai Yasi heard that Zhao Fanzhou followed Zhou Xiao, he immediately ran out as well. Teacher Huang asked Zhao Fanzhou to go to the literature room to help Zhou Xiao find ancient Chinese characters. The two were alone in the literature room, a situation that felt somewhat familiar.
This time, Zhao Fanzhou stubbornly followed Zhou Xiao, making her a little unhappy, but he arranged the books the way Zhou Xiao had taught him and kept apologizing to Zhou Xiao, asking her to give him another chance. This time, Zhao Fanzhou was very much like a naive child, while Zhou Xiao was very much like the straitlaced Zhao Fanzhou from before, telling him to put the books back in their original place.
Just as Zhou Xiao left Zhao Fanzhou alone in the literature library, an earthquake suddenly occurred. Students frantically ran out of the library. Zhao Fanzhou thought Zhou Xiao was still in the library, so he desperately yelled Zhou Xiao's name, but in fact, Zhou Xiao had already run out of the library. Seeing that Zhao Fanzhou wasn't there, she immediately rushed into the library.
Fortunately, neither of them was seriously injured, but Zhao Fanzhou was hit in the back by scaffolding while trying to save Zhou Xiao, resulting in some bleeding and injuries. Cai Yasi, who went in to look for them, was also injured, but seeing Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou were very close, he pretended to be unharmed and covered his injured arm with his clothes. At this moment, Cai Yasi clearly understood that some things and some people, once missed, are truly missed.
Episode 26 Recap
Tao Ling was also slightly injured because of the earthquake. Upon hearing the news, Fang Wei immediately rushed into the school doctor's office to check on her. Fang Wei told Tao Ling that he did like her very much, but the current situation was that he needed to accompany his teacher to do research and really couldn't spare more time to be with her. Tao Ling told him that what she wanted was not love but companionship.
Fang Wei could only tell her that at this stage he really couldn't be with her properly, and that he had also calmly thought about their relationship. They had been accommodating each other all along, and such a relationship was indeed very tiring. Finally, he calmly broke up with Tao Ling again. After the school doctor bandaged Zhao Fanzhou's back wound, he asked Zhou Xiao to go in and help her boyfriend get dressed.
Zhou Xiao was about to explain that Zhao Fanzhou was not her boyfriend, but the school doctor had already walked away. Zhou Xiao mustered her courage and walked in. Because Zhou Xiao is afraid of blood, Zhao Fanzhou hadn't planned on letting her help him get dressed, but Zhou Xiao said it was fine and that she would put his clothes on with her eyes closed.
Just like that, while helping him get dressed, Zhou Xiao accidentally touched Zhao Fanzhou's abs. Zhao Fanzhou looked a bit smug. The two finally had a more intimate opportunity again because of the injury incident. Because of the earthquake, Zhao Fanzhou's mother called to check on Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao, asking if they were okay after the earthquake and if they had reconciled. Zhao Fanzhou truthfully told her that they were both fine but had not yet reconciled.
Hearing this, Zhao Fanzhou's mother became a little anxious and planned to help him think of a way to mend their relationship. The school notified everyone to go to the school playground to avoid aftershocks, and everyone slept on the playground. Xie Yixing had already reserved spots for them. This time, Zhu Lu was not like before; she told Zhou Xiao to give Zhao Fanzhou some face and stop avoiding him.
Zhou Xiao looked around the playground on her own but didn't see Cai Yasi, so she sent him a text message asking where he was, thinking he must have gone off to play somewhere again, disregarding the aftershocks. In fact, Cai Yasi had also been injured in the library last time, so he found a place to sit quietly and calmly think about his relationship with Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao sent a WeChat message to Cai Yasi asking what she should do about her relationship with Zhao Fanzhou now. Cai Yasi replied to Zhou Xiao that she actually already had the answer in her heart, as during the earthquake, both of them were very concerned about each other. Just like that, Zhou Xiao, who couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, sat up and happened to see Zhao Fanzhou also looking at her affectionately on the playground.
Zhao Fanzhou's mother called Zhou Xiao and invited her to have a meal with her, telling Zhou Xiao not to let Zhao Fanzhou affect their relationship. Cai Yasi was about to tell Zhou Xiao to refuse, but Zhou Xiao happily agreed. After all, Zhao Fanzhou's mother was recovering from a serious illness this time, and she didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Zhao Fanzhou's mother deliberately played games to stall for time, actually waiting for Zhao Fanzhou to come home for dinner. Zhou Xiao had no idea there was a trick involved. Just then, Zhao Fanzhou's father also returned home with Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes. He saw that Zhao Fanzhou's face was very red and realized, after touching his face, that Zhao Fanzhou had a fever due to wound inflammation.
Zhao Fanzhou's mother was very angry about this, thinking how Zhao Fanzhou could injure himself while saving someone. Zhou Xiao explained that Zhao Fanzhou saved her. Zhao Fanzhou's mother immediately added that in Zhao Fanzhou's heart, Zhou Xiao was more important than herself. Midway, Zhao Fanzhou's mother deliberately said the anti-inflammatory medicine had expired and pulled Zhao Fanzhou's father out to buy medicine together. In fact, they were putting on a performance, intending to give the two more time alone.
Before leaving, Zhao Fanzhou's mother even locked Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou in the room. Time passed minute by minute like this. Zhou Xiao carefully took Zhao Fanzhou's temperature, and the two also ate dinner together. While watching TV on the sofa, Zhou Xiao unexpectedly discovered that the anti-inflammatory medicine hadn't expired. She questioned Zhao Fanzhou whether his mother had really misread it or done it intentionally. Zhao Fanzhou immediately stated that he was not aware of it.
The two stayed in the room for a very long time. Zhou Xiao took care of Zhao Fanzhou, helping him lie down to rest on the bed. Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao to help him get his phone, saying he found it hard to fall asleep without listening to music. Looking at the sleeping Zhao Fanzhou, Zhou Xiao secretly asked herself whether she should forgive him or not.
Seeing that his phone was actually playing an audio file named 'Sweet Voiceprint', out of curiosity, she leaned in to listen near Zhao Fanzhou's ear, only to find that Zhao Fanzhou suddenly woke up. Zhou Xiao said she heard snoring and asked Zhao Fanzhou whose voice he was listening to. Zhao Fanzhou truthfully told her it was his own.
Zhou Xiao was a little angry and told him to delete it, but Zhao Fanzhou told Zhou Xiao that if he deleted it, he wouldn't be able to sleep. Helpless, Zhou Xiao had to let him do as he pleased. To make Zhou Xiao stay with him longer, Zhao Fanzhou, who found that his fever had already subsided, deliberately put the thermometer into boiling water. Zhou Xiao saw the temperature and knew she had been tricked, making her very unhappy.
But Zhao Fanzhou pleaded with Zhou Xiao again to forgive him and, fearing Zhou Xiao would leave him, he kissed her forcefully. However, Zhou Xiao did not push him away. Their intimacy level returned once again, and Zhao Fanzhou also told Zhou Xiao very seriously that this time he would not let her go. Zhu Lu, who was locked inside the exhibition hall, called Zhou Xiao, who had a spare key, for help.
Xie Yixing, in order to comfort Zhu Lu, actually wanted to break down the door. Zhu Lu always had a headache because of Xie Yixing's behavior. Seeing that Zhou Xiao was very anxious and upset, Zhao Fanzhou confessed to Zhou Xiao that his phone could open the door. The two then went out together to rescue Zhu Lu. Luo Wei was very surprised to wake up and find Tao Ling already studying diligently.
At the same time, she woke up Zhou Xiao, who was planning to attend class with Zhao Fanzhou. But Zhou Xiao suddenly changed her mind, saying she wouldn't go after all, and told Luo Wei that being with Zhao Fanzhou again gave her a feeling of both gaining and losing, and a fear of approaching her hometown.
Seeing the various bittersweet experiences of the three girls in the dormitory with love, Luo Wei felt that she definitely didn't dare to fall in love and that studying hard was better.
Episode 27 (Ending) Recap
Zhou Xiao didn't want to get out of bed to accompany Zhao Fanzhou to class, so she made an excuse and sent a WeChat message to Zhao Fanzhou saying she planned to write a new story. In fact, Zhao Fanzhou had been waiting downstairs at the girls' dormitory for Zhou Xiao, wanting to ask Zhou Xiao to go to the amusement park with him.
But after seeing the WeChat message Zhou Xiao sent him, he silently put the tickets back into his bag. He thought Zhou Xiao would come down to get breakfast, but Zhou Xiao told him to leave it with the dormitory supervisor. Zhao Fanzhou understood a little that after this reconciliation, Zhou Xiao was deliberately avoiding him. Helpless, he could only wait for Zhou Xiao and take her hand to accompany her to class.
But Zhou Xiao told him that their classes were boring, but Zhao Fanzhou, in order to spend more time with Zhou Xiao, still chose to accompany her, also trying to persuade her to go to the amusement park with him after class to make up for the fireworks she didn't see last time. After the teacher entered the classroom, he asked everyone to fill out the tripartite agreement.
In class, Zhao Fanzhou tried hard to stay awake, but finally couldn't help but doze off. Zhou Xiao found his appearance very amusing, but also noticed that Zhao Fanzhou hadn't written anything in the intended city column. After class, Zhao Fanzhou took Zhou Xiao's hand and asked if Zhou Xiao wanted to go to the amusement park together in the afternoon. They happened to meet Professor Hu.
Professor Hu learned that Zhao Fanzhou had lied to him, saying he had family matters to attend to, in order to go to the amusement park with Zhou Xiao. In the end, Professor Hu punished them to clean the laboratory together. While Zhou Xiao was cleaning the laboratory, she suddenly saw a body bag falling on the ground and remembered the scene of their last breakup. Feeling extremely wronged, she couldn't help but bite Zhao Fanzhou's wrist until it bled.
Zhou Xiao's abnormality made Zhao Fanzhou a little worried. Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao why she did that just now. Zhou Xiao calmed down for a while and told Zhao Fanzhou that she still felt he would suddenly break up with her. Zhao Fanzhou asked Zhou Xiao what he had to do for her to believe him again. Zhou Xiao didn't know how to respond to him for a moment. Suddenly, Zhao Fanzhou proposed to Zhou Xiao, "Let's get married."
Zhou Xiao felt it was unnecessary to go that far. Just as she was about to make an excuse to change the subject, Zhao Fanzhou grabbed her hand again and said that he had already planned for the future. After graduation, wherever Zhou Xiao went, he would take the forensic exam in that city. After their jobs were stable, they could afford a smaller house, and after things were more stable, they could have several children.
As soon as Zhou Xiao heard the word "children," she immediately stopped Zhao Fanzhou. Zhao Fanzhou also asked about Zhou Xiao's future plans, but Zhou Xiao didn't have any plans. In her plan, Zhao Fanzhou was all of her future plans. As she spoke, she stood on her tiptoes and covered Zhao Fanzhou's lips, actively kissing him. Graduation was just around the corner. Zhou Xiao, Luo Wei, and the others were trying on their graduation gowns in the dormitory.
Zhu Lu was carefully putting on makeup, but the three of them thought her makeup was a little light, so they told her to make it as exquisite as possible. They all knew that Xie Yixing would confess to Zhu Lu today, but Zhu Lu was the only one who didn't know. Xie Yixing handed over the task of buying breakfast to Zhao Fanzhou, while he went to find Cai Yasi to discuss his life's important expression plan.
Because Zhou Xiao hadn't told her parents about reconciling with Zhao Fanzhou, she didn't even tell her parents about the graduation ceremony. Unexpectedly, her parents still came to the school. Upon arriving at the school, Zhou Xiao's parents were surprised to learn that Zhou Xiao and Zhao Fanzhou had reconciled. They closely followed Cai Yasi, wanting to ask what was going on, and followed him to the graduation hall.
At the entrance of the graduation hall, Tao Ling congratulated Fang Wei on being admitted to graduate school and told Fang Wei that she had already let go of their relationship. Everyone sat together waiting for the graduation ceremony. Tao Ling was happily taking photos of Luo Wei's grandfather with tenth-level beauty filters. Zhao Fanzhou's mother also took photos of Zhao Fanzhou and Zhou Xiao together, and asked Zhao Fanzhou to hold Zhou Xiao tighter.
Zhou Xiao's father, who had just arrived at the graduation hall, was very angry when he saw this scene and asked Zhou Xiao to go out with him. Zhou Xiao's father told Zhou Xiao that he didn't agree with Zhao Fanzhou dating his daughter. He didn't want his daughter to be wronged again because of Zhao Fanzhou, so he resolutely asked Zhou Xiao to break up with Zhao Fanzhou.
Zhou Xiao didn't know how to explain to her father, so she could only repeatedly say sorry to her father with tears in her eyes. She knew very well that her father loved her very much, but she also loved Zhao Fanzhou very much and felt it was difficult to find a win-win solution. At this moment, Zhao Fanzhou's mother called Zhou Xiao, asking her to convey her desire to talk to her parents.
Xie Yixing asked Cai Yasi to prepare his life's surprise for Zhu Lu, but found that Zhao Fanzhou was gone. It turned out that Zhao Fanzhou, in order to comfort Zhou Xiao, had secretly run outside with her. After Xie Yixing delivered his excellent graduate speech, Cai Yasi told him that the microphone suddenly broke. Too nervous, Xie Yixing knelt down on both knees, holding a ring, and said to Zhu Lu that he wanted to give her a future.
Xing Lu Fitness was ready to open, and he asked Zhu Lu to marry him. The school leaders felt that this year's students were very naughty, causing trouble when they started school and causing trouble when they graduated. Cai Yasi was even named by the leader. Cai Yasi hurriedly said "what goes around comes around" and fled the graduation ceremony scene, while Xie Yixing also completed his somewhat playful confession under the pursuit of the security guards.
Under the tearful offensive of Zhao Fanzhou's mother, Zhou Xiao's father slightly softened his stance on the previous breakup with Zhao Fanzhou, but it was clear that Zhou's mother liked Zhao Fanzhou very much. The two mothers chatted and laughed and even started making arrangements to buy a wedding house.
Because they had to rush to attend the opening ceremony of Xing Lu Fitness, Zhao Fanzhou stood at the entrance of the station like the scene when they first started school, waiting for Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao, who arrived in a hurry, told Zhao Fanzhou not to call anymore.
Zhou Xiao said all kinds of nonsensical things along the way, such as Zhu Lu was preparing for an exhibition, and if she was late, Zhu Lu would make her a specimen for the exhibition. The interesting Zhou Xiao, as always, always made Zhao Fanzhou couldn't help but recall the beautiful moments of acquaintance, knowing, and loving each other along the way. In his heart, this girl was wildly imaginative and very funny and interesting.
He had seen all her appearances and loved them deeply, and he had unknowingly walked out of his quiet and cold world with her company. There was no doubt that he could no longer leave her, and he was glad that she was willing to bring him into her noisy world again to experience another kind of beauty.
