Wait, My Youth Episode 19 Recap
> Wait, My Youth Recap
Despite Su Cancan studying diligently from dawn till dusk every day since Lan Tianye left, things didn't go as she wished, and she still didn't meet the requirements of Berkeley University. After Su Cancan was rejected by Berkeley University once again, she was disheartened. Tao Yating, who had failed the college entrance examination, could fully understand Su Cancan's feelings at this moment, but besides advising Su Cancan to prepare hard for the next exam, she had no other good solution.
That evening, a dispirited Su Cancan hesitated repeatedly before finally calling Lan Tianye, who was far away in the United States, preparing to form a new band. Seeing Lan Tianye looking so pleased with himself, Su Cancan couldn't help but realize that the gap between them was growing wider. She immediately resolved to study even harder, striving to pass the exams and go to America to reunite with Lan Tianye as soon as possible.
Su Cancan went to the school infirmary alone for an IV drip because of a cold, but she fell asleep due to exhaustion and was unaware that the medicine had run out. Fortunately, Lin Jiaze also came to the infirmary for medicine due to a sore throat, which prevented an accident. Seeing that all the other students receiving IV drips in the infirmary were accompanied by their boyfriends, Su Cancan suddenly felt deeply envious.
Initially, Su Cancan could pretend to be indifferent to Lin Jiaze's concern, but as she kept up the pretense, she lost her confidence. Fortunately, Lin Jiaze, who was by her side, was very considerate, which brought Su Cancan some comfort. After Su Cancan returned to her dorm, she learned that everyone else, except her, had secured jobs.
Xie Xin passed the civil service exam in her hometown, Wen Xin stayed in Beijing to be a Chinese teacher, and Chen Yingying, who got into Procter & Gamble, was the most impressive; not only did she secure a job, but she also found great success in love. Only Su Cancan was still fighting on the front lines, striving to get into Berkeley University for graduate studies.
Xu Meili enlisted Su Cancan as backup because she was applying for a company with very good benefits. While Xu Meili was attending her interview, Su Cancan received a call from the editor-in-chief of 'Voice of Music' magazine, to which she had been a regular contributor. The editor wanted to recruit her into the 'Voice of Music' magazine office, but Su Cancan had to give up this rare opportunity because she was preparing for the upcoming TOEFL exam.
Su Cancan received another notice from Berkeley University, but the result was no different from before; she still had no chance with Berkeley. Just as Su Cancan was feeling disheartened, she received an overseas call from Lan Tianye. Hearing how much Lan Tianye was looking forward to her coming to America, Su Cancan couldn't bear to extinguish his hope, so she quietly kept the news of her failed exam to herself.
Facing a choice between work and music, Tao Yating resolutely chose the former. Today was Tao Yating's last practice day. After her final cello practice, she prepared to completely put away her cello and solemnly bid farewell to her most respected teacher, Zhou Lin. Su Cancan got an opportunity for a two-year study tour in the United States from Teacher Li at Luwen University. Although the academic requirements for this tour were not very high, the cost was relatively high.
After much consideration, Su Cancan still wanted to take a chance for her and Lan Tianye's future. So, she called her father. Just as Su Cancan was struggling with how to broach the topic to her father, she unexpectedly learned that her father's audio-visual store was preparing to close due to poor management, and both her parents were facing unemployment. This made it impossible for Su Cancan, who had been sensible since childhood, to bring it up.
After several days of internal struggle, Su Cancan decided to work while continuing to prepare for studying abroad. Today was Su Cancan's first interview, and she unexpectedly ran into her cousin, Tao Yating, who was a legal assistant. Seeing Su Cancan being neglected because of her presence, Tao Yating felt very bad and repeatedly hinted to Su Cancan's interviewer to attend to Su Cancan first, but unexpectedly, the person casually dismissed Su Cancan.
After returning to school, Su Cancan, frustrated by her failed exam and interview, hid downstairs in the dorm building, lost in thought. Hearing the conversation of two classmates nearby, Su Cancan felt that since she couldn't go to America to reunite with Lan Tianye, she shouldn't waste his time anymore. So, she called Lan Tianye.
Hearing that Lan Tianye had made thorough preparations for her arrival, Su Cancan tearfully broke up with him, then hastily hung up the phone and turned it off. A distraught Su Cancan walked all the way back to her dorm, not even noticing when her necklace slipped off. Only after Chen Yingying's reminder did Su Cancan realize the necklace was missing.
She ran back into the campus through the heavy rain to look for her lost necklace, but after being knocked down by a classmate, she watched helplessly as the necklace was washed by the rain into a roadside drain. Watching the token of love Lan Tianye had given her thus disappear, Su Cancan desperately hit the drain grate. The moment the necklace left, Su Cancan felt an emotion peel away from her heart as well.
