Whirlwind Girl Episode 32 (Ending) Recap
> Whirlwind Girl Recap
Fang Tingyi loudly challenged Bai Cao, declaring her intent to defeat her in a duel for the City Youth Competition spot. She stated publicly that if she were to lose, she would relinquish her chance to participate in the highly coveted City Youth Competition, which all martial artists dream of. Fang Tingyi's persistence left Bai Cao speechless, and the atmosphere grew tense. Everyone sensed a strong tension.
At this moment, only Ruo Bai remained calm, maintaining his usual composure when dealing with emergencies. He reached out, took Bai Cao by the hand, and led her away. Later, Fang Tinghao and Yu Chuyuan discussed Ruo Bai, expressing their admiration for him. Many critical events Bai Cao experienced in Korea, including her master Qu Xiangnan being cleared of past wrongdoings, were all accomplished by Ruo Bai.
Ruo Bai silently loved Bai Cao, expecting nothing in return, a level of selflessness that other men, including Fang Tinghao and Yu Chuyuan, might not be able to achieve. Fang Tinghao felt inferior because of this, which led him to give up pursuing Bai Cao. Yu Chuyuan, although also impressed by Ruo Bai's actions, was unwilling to give up on Bai Cao. He believed love was not a transaction and simply wanted to know Bai Cao's true feelings.
He asserted that if Bai Cao loved him, he would certainly pursue a relationship with her; otherwise, he would not. As night fell, the Song Bai DoJo was silent. Bai Cao sat on the floor, her mind in turmoil, recalling the bits and pieces of time spent with Ruo Bai. Past events were vivid, causing her much distress. After the trip to Korea, Bai Cao had already felt Ruo Bai's profound love.
Ruo Bai entered the dojo and severely criticized Bai Cao, who was disheartened and not actively training. With the duel against Fang Tingyi approaching, Bai Cao, entangled in emotions, had no desire to practice martial arts. She emotionally broke down, blaming herself for being too selfish, which caused Ruo Bai to give up his martial arts dream and retreat behind the scenes.
She expressed her guilt and sadness, stating she didn't want him to sacrifice so much for her, to give up Yuan Wu Dao, or become an assistant coach, and that she no longer wanted him to accompany her training. Ruo Bai sternly dismissed her emotional reasoning, clarifying that his efforts were not due to personal feelings for her, but instead focused on the spirit of Yuan Wu Dao.
He denied having personal feelings for Bai Cao and urged her to concentrate her energy on her martial arts career, emphasizing that competition is about skill, effort, and the true spirit of Yuan Wu Dao, not sympathy or modesty. At a deeply emotional moment, Bai Cao actively reached out and embraced Ruo Bai, who was about to leave. She cried so touchingly that even the hard-hearted Ruo Bai involuntarily turned around and embraced her back, wiping away her tears.
This scene was witnessed by Yu Chuyuan, who was standing outside the dojo. An unspeakable bitterness surged into his heart. Yu Chuyuan, with a look of despair, turned and left, finding a place to sit and recall his time with Bai Cao. Bai Cao seemed to have fallen in love with Ruo Bai, and Yu Chuyuan pondered how he should choose between friendship and love.
The next day, as Bai Cao prepared to enter the arena for her duel with Fang Tingyi, Ruo Bai, feeling unwell, hurriedly left before the match began. His unusual behavior caught everyone's attention. Fang Tinghao and Yu Chuyuan followed closely, and the two found Ruo Bai collapsed in the lobby corridor. They quickly helped him to the dojo's exterior, as other Song Bai members also followed, watching with grave expressions as Ruo Bai was taken away by paramedics.
Lying on a simple stretcher, Ruo Bai, pale, revealed a faint, knowing smile. In his view, to love someone is to selflessly give to them without expecting anything in return. Inspired by him, Bai Cao continued further on her martial arts path, with a bright future awaiting her.
