Wait, My Youth Episode 1 Recap
> Wait, My Youth Recap
Memories of youth are the most beautiful moments in life. The shyest, most naive, purest, and most sincere experiences are all tempered by the elements during this period, perfectly combining storms and rainbows, transforming into a beautiful landscape that wanders through life's journey. Su Cancan, a first-year high school student at Ningyuan Middle School, was such a fantasy-filled beautiful girl.
To present flowers to Lin Jiaze, the school heartthrob whom she secretly admired, after his piano performance at the evening party, she even wanted to defy her mother by not wearing thermal pants. However, under pressure from her mother, she had no choice but to wear both thermal underwear and thermal pants.
Su Cancan complained to her best friend, Xu Meili, that her legs looked like elephant legs in the thermal pants, and she couldn't go on stage to present flowers like that. To show her best side to her crush and make him remember her firmly, Su Cancan decided to prioritize style over warmth. Su Cancan and Xu Meili hid behind a small grove of trees to change clothes.
After taking off her thermal pants, Su Cancan also felt her waist was too thick and prepared to change out of her thermal top. Just as she pulled her clothes over her head, she heard the sound of a group of people running towards them. Before she could react, she was knocked to the ground by someone. That person fell on top of her; their posture was quite ambiguous. They were caught red-handed by the teacher who was chasing them.
Opening her eyes, Su Cancan saw that the person who had knocked her down was Lan Tianye. He was a classmate from the neighboring class, looked cool, but wasn't her type. The teacher criticized them for being so young and not behaving properly. Su Cancan explained that it wasn't as he imagined, while Lan Tianye provocatively questioned the teacher, "Am I blind? If I'm not blind, how could I possibly be interested in Su Cancan?"
This made Su Cancan blush intensely at the time. Lan Tianye and Lin Jiaze were best friends. Lin Jiaze came over to help Lan Tianye out of the situation, stating that it was all a misunderstanding. Su Cancan, blushing, told the teacher that she was hiding behind the trees to change her thermal pants and had a witness. However, by then Xu Meili had long disappeared.
Lin Jiaze picked up the thermal pants from the ground and handed them to Su Cancan. Seeing her crush appear in such a situation, and his first words to her being "Classmate, these are your thermal pants," Su Cancan was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into immediately, preferring to disappear from this world at once. The original flower-presenting segment of the evening party was thus missed.
Su Cancan and Lan Tianye were writing self-criticism statements in the office. Lan Tianye forced her to write one for him as well. Su Cancan reluctantly agreed. The New Year's bells rang. Fireworks sparkled outside the window. Su Cancan wished Lan Tianye a Happy New Year. She said he was the first person she had faced in the New Year. Lan Tianye also replied with "Happy New Year."
The next day, Su Cancan handed the completed self-criticism statement to Lan Tianye, but unexpectedly gave him her own statement by mistake. When Lan Tianye read it during his self-criticism, it made the classmates burst into laughter. Su Cancan was worried that Lan Tianye would cause her trouble because of the self-criticism incident. Xu Meili, however, was more concerned about the Piao Shu fan meeting tickets.
But when Su Cancan went to get the tickets, she was told they had already been bought by someone else. In the afternoon's speech contest, Su Cancan's spot was replaced by Tao Yating. This made Su Cancan so angry that she openly called Tao Yating a "demoness" for ruining her good fortune. While the two were discussing, they were seen by a teacher. To avoid the teacher's criticism, Su Cancan pretended to faint and fell to the ground.
The teacher had no choice but to ask Lin Jiaze to carry Su Cancan to the infirmary. In Lin Jiaze's broad embrace, Su Cancan felt her heart pound, as if floating on clouds. She would rather curl up in this warm embrace for a lifetime. After Lin Jiaze placed Su Cancan in the infirmary, he discovered that Su Cancan was feigning illness. As he left, he told Su Cancan to try a different illness next time.
Su Cancan, returning home from school, was given a good lecture by her parents outside the door. Only after entering the house did she discover that Tao Yating was in her home. Because Tao Yating was her cousin and always performed better than her in everything, Su Cancan had always resented her. This time, she again left the table angrily after only two bites. Su Cancan felt that she and Lan Tianye were fated rivals.
They even crashed into each other while riding bicycles. They both gathered their belongings, but unexpectedly Su Cancan mistakenly took Lan Tianye's fan meeting ticket, while Lan Tianye took Su Cancan's cassette tape. Lan Tianye went to attend the fan meeting but couldn't find his ticket. Su Cancan found the ticket while tidying her schoolbag but couldn't find her cassette tape. She decided to use the ticket to exchange for her tape.
Lan Tianye was still annoyed about missing the fan meeting. He didn't pay attention to Su Cancan's apology and exchange offer, and even directly stated that he would not like Su Cancan.
