Under the Skin Episode 15 Recap
> Under the Skin Recap
Hu Zhifeng opened the door for Shen Yi. Shen Yi spoke gravely about the cases of death caused by deception. Growing wary, Hu Zhifeng raised a knife towards him. Shen Yi parted the cloth curtain and showed Hu Zhifeng an oil painting of hell covered in skeletons. Hu Zhifeng stepped forward and stabbed at Shen Yi with the knife, but fortunately, Du Cheng arrived in time.
Looking at the notes his parents wrote before they passed away, Xu Siwen was in tears. He regretted leaving after arguing with his parents that year and regretted even more not contacting them for so many years. Now, he only wants to keep one painting by Xu Yiduo to remember them. Shen Yi helped Xu Siwen go to the gallery to pick up the painting.
Du Cheng pressed Shen Yi, asking if he was truly willing to continue being a portrait artist. Shen Yi stated that being a portrait artist can save lives, which is more meaningful than just painting. And he would absolutely not regret his current choice. Warm-hearted Sister Fei was preparing to introduce a blind date to Shen Yi. Du Cheng leaned against the door watching the scene unfold.
Shen Yi refused using the excuse that he had to attend class at the police academy. He also conveniently shifted Sister Fei's attention to Du Cheng. Sister Fei handed the note with the blind date information to Du Cheng. In class, Shen Yi showed the students a famous painting called "The Rake's Progress in the Asylum".
Using this painting, he told the students that everyone in this world is examining and discerning others, and is also being examined and discerned by others. Therefore, do not easily jump to conclusions about a person's attributes. Du Cheng's older sister Du Qing is a strong woman. She always tries to get close to people around Du Cheng to find out what he is doing. This time, she came to audit Shen Yi's class.
When Du Cheng was little, his parents were busy with their careers and often neglected him. To get their attention, he once smashed the principal's car in junior high. From this, Du Qing believes that Du Cheng became a criminal police officer to gain his parents' attention, so she wanted to ask Shen Yi to persuade him to leave the police station.
Shen Yi stated that Du Cheng became a criminal police officer not for someone else, but for his own ideals and beliefs. Du Qing felt she understood Du Cheng well enough, but Shen Yi said that the degree to which one understands a person is not directly related to the time spent with them. In the coffee shop, Du Cheng was rehearsing how to say no to the woman. Just then, a fashionable woman, soaking wet, sat across from him.
She was Du Cheng's blind date, Xiao Shan, a model who wants to enter the entertainment industry. Xiao Shan used the excuse of needing to change her wet clothes and asked Du Cheng to drive her back to her company. Du Cheng drove Xiao Shan to the company entrance. Xiao Shan again suggested inviting him to come in and sit for a bit. Du Cheng could tell that Xiao Shan had something going on.
Xiao Shan showed Du Cheng a photo of herself where the head had been cut off. Du Cheng told her to call the police. Xiao Shan said she had already called the police, but because the place where the photography exhibition was held was a new district, the surveillance equipment was not perfect, so it was hard to find clues. Du Cheng asked Xiao Shan if she had any enemies.
Xiao Shan took him to meet Shu Qianqian, who was also a model and had always been rivals with her. Shu Qianqian said gloatingly that her schedule had been very full lately and she didn't even go to see Mandy's photography art exhibition. Photographer Teacher Lei came to find Shu Qianqian to take photos, and Xiao Shan's expression was a bit unnatural after seeing Teacher Lei.
Du Cheng asked about the reason, and Xiao Shan stated that she had just canceled her photography contract with Teacher Lei a few days ago. As Du Cheng and Xiao Shan were leaving, they encountered a sneaky follower. After Du Cheng caught him, he found out he was just an enthusiastic fan who liked Xiao Shan. Du Cheng and Xiao Shan were discussing in a restaurant and were just happened to be seen by Shen Yi and Du Qing.
Du Cheng reminded Shen Yi not to be Du Qing's informant. After Shen Yi saw the photo, he thought that the person who cut the photo felt not hatred towards Xiao Shan, but appreciation. From this, Du Cheng thought of Teacher Lei. As expected, Xiao Shan found a huge photo pieced together from her photos at Teacher Lei's home. Teacher Lei stated that he didn't want to see the changes Xiao Shan was making to enter the entertainment industry.
That's why he secretly cut the photos to keep them as treasures. Shen Yi accompanied Du Qing to a banquet, but the time lasted longer than he thought. Du Qing was fully in her element socializing with people, so Shen Yi, who couldn't hold his liquor, had to hide upstairs. Du Cheng rushed over. Shen Yi sighed about Du Qing's care for him. Du Cheng said without modesty that besides his sister, he also had brothers and sisters from the police station, and this included Shen Yi.
