The Love Equations Episode 21 Recap
> The Love Equations 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.
