Timeless Love Episode 10 Recap
> Timeless Love Recap
At the hospital, Cheng Feng learned from Professor Chen about the immense difficulties Jiang Dian had faced. Professor Chen explained that Jiang Dian, despite preparing for the physics competition, had also been tirelessly working day and night on a virtual reality project for Cheng Feng, which led to his exhaustion. He described Jiang Dian as a neglected child whose father was always absent and whose mother constantly pressured him to study business, showing little care for his true well-being.
Professor Chen noted that people like Jiang Dian, when shown kindness, tend to give their all in return. He urged Cheng Feng to be especially good to Jiang Dian, emphasizing his quiet suffering and the profound impact her care had on him. Cheng Feng promised to take good care of Jiang Dian. When Professor Chen went to check on Jiang Dian, Jiang Dian seemed disappointed, expecting Cheng Feng.
Professor Chen light-heartedly chided him and mentioned that his mother had scheduled his visa interview on the same day as the physics competition. He expressed frustration at her blindness to Jiang Dian's physics talent and urged him not to miss the competition. Cheng Feng then entered, and Professor Chen left them to have some privacy. Cheng Feng expressed her concern, telling Jiang Dian not to harm himself again, even for her sake, and to prioritize his health.
Jiang Dian was deeply moved, confiding that no one had ever truly cared for him before. Cheng Feng reassured him that she would cherish him, and they shared a tender kiss. Soon after, Lian Ruoshen and Lu Bie arrived at the hospital. They saw Cheng Feng and Jiang Dian kissing and waited outside, playfully bickering. Once invited in, Lian Ruoshen suggested that Jiang Dian should exercise to build strength, leading to more banter between him and Lu Bie.
Annoyed by their noise, Cheng Feng asked them to leave so Jiang Dian could rest. Both Lian Ruoshen and Lu Bie remarked on Cheng Feng's softened demeanor, attributing it to love, before Jiang Dian himself asked them to leave. After Jiang Dian was discharged, Cheng Feng cooked for him at her place. He tried to assist, but she lovingly took over, teasing him about his lack of cooking skills.
While preparing the meal, Cheng Feng hugged him and promised to love him well. Jiang Dian expressed a fear that their current happiness felt unreal, as he had never known such genuine care before. Cheng Feng comforted him, promising to make up for all the love he missed in the past. Their moment was interrupted by the arrival of a distraught and drunk Pei Xiaoyun.
She tearfully complained to Cheng Feng about Lian Ruoshen avoiding her and not answering her calls. Pei Xiaoyun felt she couldn't stand by while Lian Ruoshen pursued a fleeting career in the entertainment industry and desperately wanted him to explain himself. Cheng Feng called Lian Ruoshen, who then appeared and carried the intoxicated Pei Xiaoyun away. On the way, she confronted him, demanding to know why he had been avoiding her.
Lian Ruoshen apologized, explaining he wanted to improve himself before facing her again. Pei Xiaoyun urged him not to hide anymore and to communicate openly, to which he agreed. Later, Jiang Dian received a phone call from his mother, who sternly reminded him about his visa interview and dismissed his passion for physics, insisting he focus on economics. She warned him against disobedience and abruptly ended the call.
Upset by the call, Jiang Dian was in a somber mood when Cheng Feng arrived at his home with the soup he had left behind. Seeking solace, he hugged her. Cheng Feng light-heartedly commented on his affluent home, and Jiang Dian clarified that it was merely a "resting place," not a real home, before leading her to his room.
He confided in her about his mother's emotional neglect and constant attempts to control his life, which made him feel indifferent to achievements and failures. Cheng Feng gently reasoned with him, suggesting his mother's life planning was a flawed form of care. When she asked about his habit of folding paper planes, Jiang Dian revealed he wished to send his dreams flying with them. Cheng Feng wholeheartedly supported his aspirations and offered to stay the night with him.
Their intimacy grew, but Jiang Dian gently stopped her, saying he knew she was just trying to comfort him and he couldn't let her feel wronged. He insisted they should rest properly for his upcoming competition. The next morning, Cheng Feng made breakfast. Jiang Dian affectionately asked her to drive him to the airport. However, Cheng Feng received an urgent call from her book cafe about a large event booking, requiring her immediate return.
Jiang Dian, accompanied by Professor Chen, departed for Hua City, visibly disappointed. At the airport, Professor Chen attempted to cheer him up by quoting "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Upon arriving at his hotel in Hua City, Jiang Dian was surprised and delighted to find Cheng Feng waiting for him. Since the hotel was fully booked, Cheng Feng had to stay elsewhere. Concerned for her, Jiang Dian bought her numerous necessities and advised her to stay warm.
Cheng Feng playfully suggested he stay with her if he was so worried, and he eagerly agreed. She then reminded him not to be greedy, but gave him a kiss before he reluctantly left. That evening, Professor Chen gathered Jiang Dian and other students for dinner. He took the opportunity to recommend Jiang Dian for a fluid mechanics research project, highlighting its importance. Jiang Dian remained contemplative, torn between this opportunity and his mother's prearranged path.
The next day, as Jiang Dian went to take the physics competition, Cheng Feng waited outside, offering a kiss and promising to provide him with the emotional support his parents never gave. While Jiang Dian took his exam, Cheng Feng explored a nearby ancient town. She later received a call from Baoling, who asked her to choreograph Lian Ruoshen's debut song.
Cheng Feng agreed, revealing her plan to open a dance studio and attributing her newfound ambition to Jiang Dian inspiring her to become better. Meanwhile, Lian Ruoshen was elated by the news and enthusiastically practiced the song Lu Bie had composed for him. His practice was interrupted by Pei Xiaoyun, who, frustrated to learn he hadn't given up on his entertainment dreams, walked away in anger. After the competition, Jiang Dian emerged feeling he might have failed.
He was surprised to find Cheng Feng still waiting, and she explained she knew he would want to see her first. He confessed his fear of becoming too dependent on her and of their relationship being a dream. Cheng Feng then proposed they go on a date.
