The Night of the Comet Episode 15 Recap
> The Night of the Comet Recap
When police arrived at the cliff, they found that Boss Xu and Driver Xu had both fallen. Suspecting Cheng Hao, they brought him in for questioning. Cheng Hao explained that Boss Xu had sexually harassed his subordinate, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was now his girlfriend. He mentioned he had warned Boss Xu privately, and he believed Boss Xu sought revenge by kidnapping him. However, the police were skeptical because most of the surveillance videos from the scene had been deleted.
A hidden camera had captured a suspect's frame, and they were conducting a precise image comparison. The body found at the cliff was burnt, making identification difficult. Despite their doubts, the police temporarily accepted Cheng Hao's statement and released him on bail. Cheng Hao thanked Lu Sir and was soon reunited with Lin Xiaoxiao.
She expressed her worry, saying he lied to her every time and asked him to stop doing dangerous things without telling her, as she would literally worry to death. Cheng Hao, calling her silly, promised it would never happen again. Alone, Cheng Hao pondered that the night the comet came again, he didn't vanish or go back, wondering if it meant he could stay in this timeline. Cheng Hao's relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao grew stronger.
He later participated in a press conference for the movie adaptation of Lu Hongjian's new book. Lu Hongjian, involved as both an actor and director, captivated the audience. He introduced "Love Instantly" as a pure love movie and asked for continued support. Lin Xiaoxiao, the screenwriter for the movie, initially hesitated to join him on the red carpet, but Cheng Hao encouraged her, assuring her he was with her.
At the event, Cheng Hao publicly announced that Lin Xiaoxiao was his girlfriend, causing a stir among the fans. Lin Xiaoxiao's best friend, also a fan of Cheng Hao, excitedly questioned her about how she "nailed him" and when their relationship began. Lin Xiaoxiao vaguely replied it was a "long story" and mentioned "Head Zhou" before excusing herself to attend to fan club matters. Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Hao's formal dates began.
During a dinner at a restaurant, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed other girls staring and felt pleased, to which Cheng Hao playfully remarked that it was because she was with a handsome guy. Cheng Hao told Lin Xiaoxiao he wanted to travel the world with her. Delighted, Lin Xiaoxiao suggested romantic Italy, followed by Japan, Paris, Miami, and Los Angeles. As they strolled through the city that evening, they passed a wedding dress shop.
Lin Xiaoxiao expressed a heartfelt wish to marry her beloved in a beautiful wedding dress, a dream she believed every girl held. Cheng Hao, understanding her desire, magically opened the closed shop. Inside, amidst the array of wedding gowns, he proposed to her. Deeply moved by his thoughtful gesture, Lin Xiaoxiao accepted, exclaiming that she felt like she was dreaming and hoped to live in his dream forever.
She then put on a wedding dress, and they shared a tender kiss. Cheng Hao presented Lin Xiaoxiao with a wedding ring, formalizing their marriage. The very next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao's best friend passed by the wedding dress shop and was astonished to see a wedding photo of Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Hao displayed, marveling at how quickly things had progressed for them. Later, Cheng Hao took Lin Xiaoxiao to see a movie, likely Lu Hongjian's "Love Instantly."
However, Driver Xu, who was previously thought to be dead, had secretly appeared in the cinema and sabotaged the projector, causing the movie to malfunction and flicker a scene of Cheng Hao in a car accident. Hearing the disturbance, Cheng Hao rushed out to investigate but found no one. This incident made him realize that Driver Xu was still alive, plunging him into a state of fear.
Lin Xiaoxiao, also perplexed, asked Cheng Hao about the car accident shown on screen. The police contacted Cheng Hao again, informing him that they had discovered another set of footprints at the cliff crime scene. They asked if there had been a third person present on the day of the incident, but Cheng Hao again concealed the truth, confirming only his and Boss Xu's presence, as he didn't want to disclose the time-travel to them.
Worried, Cheng Hao instructed his assistant, Tong, to halt all of Lu Hongjian's activities, using "studying" as an excuse, and to significantly increase security for both Lu Hongjian and Lin Xiaoxiao, ensuring their safety. He also assured Tong that he would take care of his own safety. That night, Lin Xiaoxiao, having nothing else to do, stumbled upon a blackboard left by Cheng Hao.
On it, she found her name alongside Lu Hongjian's, accompanied by the intriguing phrase "paralleled timezone, car accident?" This discovery left her utterly surprised. Cheng Hao once again visited the abandoned villa. There, he found documents detailing that due to "twisted time and bias," the time gate would now reopen a week "after" the comet's arrival, rather than on the night of its appearance. Upon returning home, Cheng Hao was shocked to discover that Lu Hongjian had bought a car.
Lu Hongjian excitedly showed off his new vehicle to Cheng Hao and Lin Xiaoxiao, remarking on its excellent performance and that it was spacious enough for the three of them. He even planned to take Lin Xiaoxiao to the tunnel where Cheng Hao had experienced his own car accident visions. Cheng Hao was furious, recognizing it as the same model of car that appeared in his visions of the car accident.
He erupted in anger, demanding to know who let Lu Hongjian buy the car and why he didn't stay put as instructed. He immediately ordered Lu Hongjian to return the car, fearing that the same tragedy would unfold once more.
