> Time Teaches Me to Love Recap
During the three-day assessment period, Lin Lu playfully guided Shi Liansen, teaching him various household chores. She instructed him on tasks like cooking, telling him to heat the wok, peel garlic, and chop onions, often critiquing his clumsy efforts. Shi Liansen patiently followed her instructions, at one point declaring he would be her student for life.
Lin Lu also directed him to sweep, and when he accidentally bumped her, he carried her to her room, causing her to misunderstand his intentions. Alone, Lin Lu internally deliberated, acknowledging Shi Liansen's sincerity but resolving to make him work for her affection and test his patience for the full three days. As Lin Lu and Shi Liansen reveled in the early stages of their blossoming romance, their relationship contract was abruptly exposed online, sparking widespread outrage and criticism.
The revelation severely damaged Huanzhen's reputation, leading to a massive loss of public trust, product returns, and a plummeting stock value. Shi Liansen's father sternly reprimanded him, demanding he terminate the contract with Lin Lu and end her role as spokesperson. However, Shi Liansen stood firm, asserting his genuine love for Lin Lu. He announced his intention to hold a press conference to officially declare their relationship, aiming to mitigate the damage to Huanzhen.
Although still disappointed, his father ultimately left him to handle the crisis. Meanwhile, Liang Zhi, the mastermind behind the leak, visited Lin Lu's mother. He subtly informed her that Lin Lu had not been home recently, implying something was amiss, and then showed her the incriminating online news about Lin Lu and Shi Liansen’s contractual relationship. Lin Lu’s mother was devastated upon seeing the news. She immediately confronted Lin Lu at Shi Liansen's home, demanding an explanation.
Lin Lu confessed to signing the contract but earnestly stated that she had since truly fallen in love with Shi Liansen. Her mother, heartbroken and blaming herself for Lin Lu's predicament, insisted that Lin Lu pack her belongings and return home with her, forbidding any further contact with Shi Liansen. Lin Lu desperately tried to call Shi Liansen, but her mother confiscated her phone and forcibly took her home, locking her in her room.
Determined to help his sister, Lin Cheng retrieved Lin Lu's phone and reassured her of his trust in Shi Liansen. He then cleverly feigned a severe stomachache to distract their mother and lure her away from the house, creating an opportunity for Lin Lu to reach out to Shi Liansen. Lin Lu, still confined, held onto her phone, ready to contact him.
