Wait, My Youth Episode 5 Recap
> Wait, My Youth Recap
The girls' basketball game between two middle schools was about to begin, but Su Cancan was nowhere to be seen. It turned out Su Cancan had pre-game jitters and was discussing with Xu Meili how to quit. And since the basketball game was at the same time as Lin Jiaze's long-distance run, Su Cancan's goal of showing off her shooting skills in front of him couldn't be realized, making her instantly dejected.
Lan Tianye, sent by Teacher Huang, found Su Cancan and encouraged her not to lose face. The basketball game officially began, with both sides fiercely competing back and forth, and the score alternately rising. In the last 24 seconds, Chaoyang Middle School led by two points and had possession to organize an attack. After their shot missed, Ningyuan Middle School secured the rebound.
At this moment, Su Cancan had quickly run past the half-court line, and the ball was passed to her. With only 5 seconds left, Su Cancan calmed herself, recalled the shooting posture Lan Tianye had taught her, gathered all her strength, and shot the ball. The buzzer sounded, and the ball went in. Ningyuan Middle School narrowly defeated Chaoyang Middle School by one point, and Su Cancan became the greatest contributor to the victory.
In the subsequent three-person leg-tying event, Lin Jiaze, Lan Tianye, and Su Cancan worked together to complete the race and achieved first place. Su Cancan's signature radiant smile also became a microcosm of Ningyuan Middle School's participation in this sports meet. After the sports meet, Su Cancan went to the classroom. She wanted to ask Lan Tianye to help her with something, but unexpectedly, Lan Tianye said he already knew, which made Su Cancan feel very strange.
However, when he learned that Su Cancan wanted him to hand over chocolates to Lin Jiaze, it was Lan Tianye's turn to be surprised. He questioned Su Cancan about when she started liking Lin Jiaze and slammed the chocolates on the table. During math class, the teacher was checking yesterday's homework. Su Cancan secretly prayed not to be called upon. Then she begged Lan Tianye for help.
Seeing that he was still angry, Su Cancan wrote a large "Σ" symbol, and then she was called out and criticized by the teacher on the spot. Lan Tianye turned around and asked her what the symbol meant. Su Cancan told him it meant "summation," asking him not to be angry with her anymore. After class, girls from Chaoyang Middle School came to trouble Su Cancan and wanted to pull her out for a private talk.
Lan Tianye didn't want to watch Su Cancan get bullied, so he stood up to help her out, which could be considered a hero saving a beauty moment. It was time for streaming into arts or sciences, and everyone felt uneasy facing such an important life choice. Su Cancan inquired everywhere about what Lin Jiaze had chosen, but Lan Tianye warned her not to try to get close to Lin Jiaze through him.
In fact, Su Cancan had unintentionally entered his heart. Su Cancan mustered her courage and used Lan Tianye as an excuse to ask Lin Jiaze which stream he had chosen. Lin Jiaze told her he had chosen arts. Back at home, Su Cancan told her family that she wanted to choose arts, not because she couldn't understand sciences, but because she liked it, because it was her dream. Her father said with emotion that his daughter had grown up.
Teacher Huang called Lan Tianye to the office because he had chosen arts, while his physics and chemistry grades were first-rate in the grade, but his arts subjects, especially Chinese and English, were at the bottom. Then Teacher Huang asked the math, physics, and chemistry teachers to help persuade Lan Tianye to choose sciences. After Su Cancan heard about this, she used delivering homework to Teacher Huang as an excuse to come to the teachers' office.
Seeing Lan Tianye's awkward situation, she couldn't help but interrupt to speak up for Lan Tianye. Her words left the teachers speechless. Lan Tianye thanked Su Cancan for her righteous words. Su Cancan returned the discarded electronic pet to him. At the same time, she proposed her so-called condition for repaying the favor: she wanted to change her seat next semester. Of course, the person she wanted to sit with was Lin Jiaze, her long-time crush.
