Whirlwind Girl Episode 22 Recap
> Whirlwind Girl Recap
When Qi Bai Cao expressed concern over Ruo Bai's absence from training and the upcoming Korea training camp, Yu Chuyuan offered to take her to him. They arrived at a hospital where Qi Bai Cao discovered Ruo Bai's father was gravely ill. Ruo Bai's mother introduced herself to Qi Bai Cao and thanked Yu Chuyuan for his crucial assistance when Ruo Bai's father was admitted.
Ruo Bai, however, was visibly upset that Yu Chuyuan had brought Qi Bai Cao, prompting his mother to scold him before Yu Chuyuan respectfully departed. Outside the hospital, Ruo Bai remained distant, but Qi Bai Cao tearfully confronted him. She expressed her deep disappointment, saying she always followed his instructions because she trusted he had her best interests at heart, seeing her as family rather than just a junior.
She was saddened that he wouldn't confide in her when he needed help the most, feeling excluded and unable to assist with chores like cleaning, cooking, or laundry. Ruo Bai insisted he didn't want to impact her studies and training, but promised to tell her if a similar situation arose in the future. Days later, Qi Bai Cao continued to visit the hospital, bringing food for Ruo Bai's father. Ruo Bai's mother gratefully acknowledged her and Yu Chuyuan's help.
She informed Qi Bai Cao that Ruo Bai's father was stable and would be discharged soon, but Ruo Bai would not be returning home with them as he had summer part-time jobs. Qi Bai Cao questioned why Ruo Bai, who loved Yuan Wu Dao, would then miss the Korea training camp.
Meanwhile, a doctor informed Ruo Bai that his father's condition might be a genetic disease, and his own health had changed, advising him to avoid intense sports and consider becoming a professional trainer. Yu Chuyuan later echoed this sentiment, suggesting Ruo Bai become a trainer, praising his method of coaching Qi Bai Cao. Ruo Bai, however, urged Qi Bai Cao to go to Korea and win the best athlete award.
When she threatened not to go if he didn't, she even offered to help him train for the City Youth Competition, but he remained firm that she must go. Back at Song Bai, Shen Xiaoying and other disciples speculated that Fang Ting Hao might have maliciously removed Ruo Bai's name from the Korea training camp list out of jealousy. Meanwhile, Fang Ting Hao rigorously trained, reflecting on what Yuan Wu Dao meant to him.
Qi Bai Cao approached him, concerned about Ruo Bai. Fang Ting Hao joked at first but then acknowledged Ruo Bai's father's illness and Ruo Bai's persistence. He then shockingly admitted that he was the one who erased Ruo Bai's name from the list. Qi Bai Cao, disbelieving his cruelty, declared that if Ruo Bai didn't go, she wouldn't either, and asked Fang Ting Hao to remove her name as well.
Subsequently, Yu Chuyuan confronted Ruo Bai, revealing that Qi Bai Cao had come to him due to Ruo Bai's situation. Yu Chuyuan admitted his envy but stressed that Qi Bai Cao, with her unwavering loyalty like she showed for Qu Xiang Nan, would not go to Korea if Ruo Bai didn't, urging him to reconsider.
During a meeting, Coach Shen announced the Korea trip arrangements and that flight tickets would be booked that afternoon, asking anyone with unexpected situations to inform her immediately. Qi Bai Cao then declared she couldn't go. Just as Coach Shen was about to question her, Ruo Bai dramatically entered and announced his decision to participate in the training camp. Coach Shen was relieved, assigning Yu Chuyuan as the guide and Ruo Bai as the team leader.
When she asked Qi Bai Cao again if she was still not going, Ruo Bai interjected, stating, "She can go." Before their departure, Shen Xiaoying meticulously packed an extensive wardrobe for Qi Bai Cao, insisting she represent China well. Fang Ting Hao bid farewell to Qi Bai Cao, giving her a new phone with international access, a power bank, and a mobile Wi-Fi device, telling her not to decline.
He confessed his feelings, stating he didn't expect her to reciprocate but asked her to take care of herself. He also declared his intention to rediscover his original dream in Yuan Wu Dao, the "Yuan Wu Dao's Fang Ting Hao," like Qi Bai Cao. Meanwhile, Li En Xiu mused on the value of people, hoping "you" wouldn't do meaningless things or hurt others because of her.
Kim Min Joo, during her training, was reminded that Yu Chuyuan valued hardworking individuals like Qi Bai Cao, which strengthened her determination to challenge Qi Bai Cao again. Upon arrival in Seoul, a Chang Hai disciple welcomed the Song Bai team. Shen Xiaoying complained about the long journey, while others marveled at the new surroundings. They were cautioned to respect the peaceful environment around the lake, as it housed the masters' residences.
Kim Min Joo, however, secretly wished to visit the masters' side to gain inspiration and defeat Qi Bai Cao. As the team moved toward their quarters, they were stopped by a young girl whom the Chang Hai disciple respectfully addressed as "Senior." The Song Bai disciples were surprised by her youth and rude demeanor. This "Senior" was Kim Min Joo, who immediately recognized Qi Bai Cao and angrily challenged her.
She brought up her past defeat by Qi Bai Cao, insulting Qu Xiang Nan and proclaiming her intent to "wash off the disgrace." Enraged, Qi Bai Cao prepared to fight back, but Min Sheng Hao, Kim Min Joo's senior, intervened, physically pulling her away. He apologized for Kim Min Joo's disrespectful behavior and tried to make her apologize, which she defiantly refused. Min Sheng Hao then forcibly took her away for punishment.
The Chang Hai guide then led the Song Bai team to their temporary rooms, informing Yu Chuyuan that Li En Xiu had personally arranged a separate, elegant room for him, sparking curiosity among the others.
