The Love Equations Episode 20 Recap
> The Love Equations 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.
