The Love Equations Episode 14 Recap
> The Love Equations 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.
