Wait, My Youth Episode 16 Recap
> Wait, My Youth Recap
Tao Yating came to Luwen University to audit a class. After running into Su Cancan, she invited her to eat together. Just as Su Cancan was about to pick out a birthday gift for Xu Meili, they went together. Hearing that Xu Meili recently really enjoyed watching "The Prince of Tennis," the two decided to buy her gifts related to "The Prince of Tennis." Following the boss's recommendation, they bought a Fuji Syusuke cushion for Xu Meili.
After chatting with Xu Meili, Tang Xingyi mistakenly thought Tao Yating also liked "The Prince of Tennis." He specially bought a Fuji Syusuke cushion and sent it to Tao Yating's dormitory downstairs. Xu Meili and Tang Xingyi chatted online. She mentioned that she received a Fuji Syusuke cushion and said she liked it very much. Tang Xingyi was overjoyed, believing Tao Yating had received his gift. He then changed his QQ avatar to Fuji Syusuke, which Xu Meili approved of.
Tang Xingyi arranged to meet his online friend "Tao Yating." Seeing that the truth was about to be exposed, Xu Meili wanted to ask Tao Yating to go to the appointment in her place, but Tao Yating refused her. Although Tao Yating was unwilling to pursue the matter of Xu Meili impersonating her, she was unwilling to help Xu Meili deceive others and advised Xu Meili to face everything honestly.
The next afternoon, by the lake outside the library, Tang Xingyi waited early. Tao Yating happened to pass by after practicing the piano, but she ignored Tang Xingyi's confession and repeatedly emphasized that Tang Xingyi had mistaken her for someone else. Xu Meili arrived as scheduled. Seeing that her online friend had not yet arrived, she began to bicker with Tang Xingyi, who was beside her.
Feeling nervous, Xu Meili asked Tang Xingyi how he would react if he had an online friend whom he thought was Tao Yating, but it turned out to be her, Xu Meili. Unexpectedly, Tang Xingyi was indeed her online friend, Little Star. Tang Xingyi was furious after learning that Xu Meili had tricked him. During their argument, Xu Meili accidentally pushed him into the small lake nearby.
Seeing Tang Xingyi struggling in the water, Xu Meili was about to go to his rescue, but then she remembered that Tang Xingyi had previously boasted to Tao Yating about being very good at swimming, so she dismissed the idea. Unexpectedly, Tang Xingyi really couldn't swim. She had no choice but to rescue him from the water and then left reluctantly.
Since officially confirming their relationship, Lan Tianye would come to Luwen University to spend time with Su Cancan whenever he had time. Today was another happy day for the two of them. They were originally eating ice cream together on campus, but due to repeatedly running into acquaintances, they reluctantly hid in the library. Unexpectedly, they ran into Xu Meili, Tang Xingyi, and Tao Yating there.
Although Lan Tianye and Su Cancan avoided Xu Meili, they were caught red-handed by Tao Yating and Tang Xingyi. Su Cancan and Tao Yating ate together. Mentioning Tao Yating's popularity and Zhou Lin's special care for her, Su Cancan gossiped that if an elite man like Zhou Lin had a boring life, it's very likely that the person he liked was right beside him. After parting ways with Su Cancan, Tao Yating ran into Zhou Lin on the street.
Learning that Tao Yating also really liked Richard Clayderman's music, Zhou Lin took her to a friend's bar. Because it was Zhou Lin's birthday, Tao Yating was just about to give him the Richard Clayderman album she had in her hand, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lin's ex-girlfriend returned to the country and specifically rushed back to celebrate Zhou Lin's birthday. Seeing the two chatting so intensely, Tao Yating discreetly left early.
Back on campus, a dejected Tao Yating sat alone on a bench, lost in thought. She happened to meet Xu Meili passing by. Learning that Tao Yating had deep feelings for Zhou Lin, Xu Meili offered words of comfort. Tao Yating also encouraged Xu Meili to bravely pursue her own happiness, as the person chatting with Tang Xingyi was Xu Meili herself. She hoped Xu Meili could apologize to Tang Xingyi for her deception.
On her way back, Xu Meili happened to see Lan Tianye wiping Su Cancan's mouth, thereby exposing their relationship. Ever since Lin Jiaze learned that Su Cancan chose Lan Tianye over him, he seemed like a changed person and had been avoiding them, unwilling to meet them. After Lan Tianye learned of Lin Jiaze's intentions, he came to the basketball court to have a showdown and reconcile with him.
Su Cancan received a postcard that Lin Jiaze had mailed to her from Taiwan, only then realizing that her feelings for Lin Jiaze over the years were not unrequited. A pang of pain momentarily struck her heart.
