To Fly With You Episode 2 Recap
> To Fly With You Recap
Liu Fei, Shao Beisheng's partner, harbors deep affection for him, but he insists on keeping their connection a pure friendship, not romance. When Liu Fei confronts him, Shao Beisheng lies about having a girlfriend to deter her. He later confides in his friend Qu Zhi, wishing for a partner with whom romance would be completely out of the question. Meanwhile, Shen Zhengyi trains tirelessly to improve her curve technique.
Her friend Zhu Lele, concerned about her intensity, pulls her away to eat at the popular spareribs stall in the canteen. While Zhu Lele queues up, she leaves her bag with Shen Zhengyi, who then accidentally collides with a rushing Shao Beisheng. Items spill from the bag, including a "Lingbei New Style Page" detailing Shao Beisheng's profile and preferences.
Mistaking Shen Zhengyi for an obsessed fan who created the page, Shao Beisheng accuses her of having ulterior motives and warns her to stay away. Determined to master her technique by observing professionals, Shen Zhengyi decides to apply for a cleaning job at the Wind Chasing Team’s club. Shao Beisheng spots her there and, convinced she is still trying to get close to him, secretly calls Qu Zhi to apply for the same position.
Despite Shen Zhengyi’s plea for Qu Zhi to withdraw, explaining how crucial the job is for her, the recruiter ultimately selects the stronger Qu Zhi for the physically demanding role. Qu Zhi promptly reports his success to Shao Beisheng. Overhearing them, Shen Zhengyi realizes Shao Beisheng sabotaged her and angrily confronts him. He scoffs, referencing the "Lingbei New Style Page" as proof of her scheme.
At that moment, Zhu Lele interjects, proudly revealing that she designed the forum page and is the head of Shao Beisheng’s fan club. Realizing his mistake, Shao Beisheng advises Shen Zhengyi to stop using indirect methods and speak directly with the new head coach, Zhuang Yue, who dislikes opportunistic behavior. At the club, Zhuang Yue questions Coach Xiao for providing Luo Xiaoyi with extensive individual training.
Coach Xiao defends his decision, asserting Luo Xiaoyi is the team's only hope for winning gold medals. Zhuang Yue argues that she was hired to improve the entire team, not just one athlete, but Coach Xiao remains steadfast, insisting that securing gold is the priority for the school and Director Zhang. Zhuang Yue then implements rigorous, tailored training for the female team members.
She increases Zhou Luhan's endurance workout, has Wang Fang focus on her strength in short-distance events, and advises Liu Sisi to reduce her overthinking during starts. She also sternly reprimands Zhu Lele for a lack of focus and punishes the entire team with extra laps for slow assembly. Later, Zhuang Yue reports to Director Zhang, highlighting her concerns about Coach Xiao's singular focus on Luo Xiaoyi.
Director Zhang reveals the high stakes: the Wind Chasing Team has one year to win three medals in A-level competitions or it will be disbanded. He urges Zhuang Yue and Coach Xiao to cooperate and also advises her to mend her estranged relationship with her son, Shao Beisheng.
Back at the rink, Old Ma presents Shao Beisheng with several potential pair skating partners, but he is unimpressed, declaring he will only accept a partner who can perform a "Double Axel"—a near-impossible requirement. Meanwhile, Shen Zhengyi takes Shao Beisheng's advice and approaches Zhuang Yue directly. She passionately assures the coach she can master her curve technique if given a chance.
Impressed by her perseverance after learning she has been self-taught for over ten years, Zhuang Yue grants her one week to demonstrate significant improvement. Shao Beisheng, seeing the exchange from a distance, pointedly ignores his mother when she calls out to him. Shen Zhengyi enthusiastically tells Coach Xiao about Zhuang Yue's offer and asks for his guidance. As they walk by a pond, they hear a child, Xiao Bao, crying for help after falling in.
Despite being a weak swimmer, Shen Zhengyi jumps in. Coach Xiao freezes, paralyzed by a traumatic flashback of his younger brother, Xiao Feng. Shen Zhengyi pushes Xiao Bao to safety but then struggles and begins to sink. Shao Beisheng, passing by, dives in to rescue the unconscious Shen Zhengyi, performing CPR to revive her. Just as she regains consciousness, Coach Xiao snaps out of his stupor, rushes over, and carries her to the hospital, leaving a soaked Shao Beisheng behind.
Later at the infirmary, Shao Beisheng, now sick from the cold water, encounters Shen Zhengyi, expecting gratitude. Instead, completely unaware of his role, she gushes to him about how Coach Xiao rescued her, dreamily recalling his "gentle, handsome face" as the first thing she saw. Shao Beisheng is left dumbfounded, his heroic act completely misattributed.
