Time To Fall In Love Episode 11 Recap
> Time To Fall In Love Recap
Fu Boya brought Su Yanxi to a Western restaurant. Su Yanxi, seeking to vent her frustration, deliberately ordered dishes in odd numbers—one salad, three steaks, five iced lemon teas, and seven macarons for dessert, and also used a slice of lime as decoration—to subtly irritate Gu Xicheng, who had an even number obsession. As they chatted, Gu Xicheng and Nangong Liuli arrived, and the four ended up sharing a table.
Observing this, Nangong Liuli cut Gu Xicheng's steak into two pieces to make it an even number. Su Yanxi immediately moved her own steak onto Gu Xicheng's plate, once again making the count an odd number. During the meal, Su Yanxi asked Fu Boya to cut her steak for her. When she saw Gu Xicheng thanking Nangong Liuli, she impulsively ran off. Gu Xicheng quickly followed, urging her not to be so willful.
Su Yanxi retorted, accusing him of finally speaking his true feelings and believing her to be immature and willful. She highlighted his constant presence with Nangong Liuli. Gu Xicheng denied twisting her words, asserting that Nangong Liuli was just an old friend, much like Fu Boya was to Su Yanxi. Unconvinced, Su Yanxi walked away.
Meanwhile, Fu Boya expressed concern about Su Yanxi and Gu Xicheng arguing, but Nangong Liuli dismissed it, saying there was no entertainment in watching them quarrel. Fu Boya then warned Nangong Liuli not to harm Su Yanxi in her pursuit of Gu Xicheng, reminding her that Madam Gu had chosen Su Yanxi.
Nangong Liuli asserted that she had previously lacked the qualifications to stand by Gu Xicheng's side, but after enduring hardship and being reborn, she was determined to reclaim what was rightfully hers, confident that Gu Xicheng still harbored feelings for her. Elsewhere, Situ, worried about An'an's safety while she worked as a designated driver, followed her in his sports car. When An'an encountered a drunken client, Situ stepped in to help the man up.
He then advised An'an not to accept such dangerous jobs. Touched by his actions, An'an invited Situ to watch a movie with her, and they went to the cinema together. Back home, Gu Xicheng found himself locked out of his room due to the day's events. He went to the living room with his pajamas, where Madam Gu saw him and declared he deserved to sleep on the sofa.
Unsure how to resolve his romantic woes, Gu Xicheng called Situ for advice. Situ suggested he identify his mistakes and proactively apologize to Su Yanxi, emphasizing that in any argument between a man and a woman, it is always the man's fault. Gu Xicheng then initiated a chat with Su Yanxi under an anonymous online persona. Su Yanxi confided her frustration about "him" not trusting her and only believing others.
She clarified that Fu Boya was merely a "close but normal friend," which secretly delighted Gu Xicheng. At the company, Nangong Liuli revealed her private relationship with Gu Xicheng to the R&D team employees, leading to office gossip. Nangong Liuli overheard the discussion and sternly reminded the employees that the company hired them to work, not to chat, before ordering them to delete the photo.
During a company meeting, Gu Xicheng pointed out that the core design of the project was Su Yanxi's work, while also commending Nangong Liuli for her excellent leadership in bringing the team to achieve results in a short time. He then announced the establishment of a performance evaluation mechanism for the new product R&D team to protect employee rights. Feeling that Gu Xicheng was openly siding with Su Yanxi, Nangong Liuli became enraged and began to formulate a new scheme.
Later, Nangong Liuli entered Gu Xicheng's office, deliberately placing a pill bottle in her bag before handing him a resignation letter. She expressed her shame at being publicly called out for a significant error, feeling unqualified to lead the team or stand before him. Outside, employees gossiped, believing Su Yanxi was leveraging her relationship with Gu Xicheng to take credit and force Nangong Liuli out.
Su Yanxi, in the restroom, overheard their comments and emerged to interrupt them, clarifying that Nangong Liuli had appropriated her work. In his office, Gu Xicheng, angered by her attempt to coerce him, accepted her resignation. He told Nangong Liuli that he would not discuss personal matters in the office and emphasized that no one was irreplaceable. Nangong Liuli then implied that Su Yanxi had replaced her and expressed remorse for having left him in the past.
As Gu Xicheng prepared to leave the office, Nangong Liuli dramatically fainted. As he rushed to help her, a bottle of psychiatric medication (Sertraline Hydrochloride Tablets) fell from her bag. She then confessed that she had been suffering from moderate depression for years. Situ, having witnessed Gu Xicheng assisting Nangong Liuli, sent Su Yanxi a photo, urging her to come "subdue the demon." Upon arrival, Su Yanxi saw Gu Xicheng supporting Nangong Liuli and, filled with anger, turned to leave.
Situ tried to explain the situation. After a moment to compose herself, Su Yanxi asked Situ for "flaming red" lipstick. With it, she confidently walked straight into Gu Xicheng's office and kissed him.
