Wait, My Youth Episode 8 Recap
> Wait, My Youth Recap
Ningyuan's centennial school anniversary was about to begin. Su Cancan was still troubled by her singing ability. Seeing this, Xu Meili suggested that she record the school song beforehand so she would only need to lip-sync on the day. Although Su Cancan did not want to cheat, her singing was too poor, and she was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she had no choice but to prepare as Xu Meili suggested.
On the day of the school anniversary, Su Cancan forgot the recorded tape at her father's audio-visual store. Lan Tianye went back to retrieve it for her, but in his haste, he mistakenly brought back an advertising tape from Cancan's father's store. Unable to fake it, Cancan had no choice but to sing live. Fortunately, with the encouragement of her idol Pin Guan and the help of Lan Tianye, Su Cancan successfully completed the task.
In a blink of an eye, it was the summer vacation for the second year of high school. After Teacher Huang reminded everyone about summer precautions, everyone excitedly prepared to leave. They all had their summer schedules packed, while Su Cancan said she would stay home to help her father look after the store.
Lan Tianye, who was nearby, heard this and asked Cancan to keep an eye out for a Westlife CD for him on the way home from school. After Cancan's father finally found a Westlife CD, Su Cancan immediately notified Lan Tianye to pick it up at the store. However, they unexpectedly encountered a group of hooligans who came to the store to collect protection money.
When the hooligans saw that Su Cancan's family audio-visual store didn't have much daily turnover, they tried to take Lan Tianye's CD as payment, but Su Cancan firmly resisted. Just as they were struggling with each other, Lan Tianye arrived in time. He fought off all three hooligans, but was accidentally injured by Su Cancan who was behind him. Seeing this, Su Cancan felt a pang of pity.
She persistently pulled Lan Tianye to her home to treat and bandage his wound. As soon as the two entered Cancan's bedroom, Su's father returned home. Worried that her father would misunderstand, Cancan frantically hid Lan Tianye in her wardrobe. Thinking she had escaped trouble, Cancan saw her father go to the kitchen to make dinner and urged Lan Tianye to jump out the window. Lan Tianye, feeling he hadn't done anything wrong, resolutely refused.
As the two were pulling at each other, they accidentally fell onto Su Cancan's bed, just as Su's father caught them red-handed. Furious, Su's father instantly lost his temper and severely lectured both of them. Full of grievances, Cancan couldn't hold back and tearfully explained the whole story. Only then did Su's father realize he had wrongly accused the two children.
To make amends, he prepared a table full of delicious food for the two children, even giving both of the only two roasted chicken drumsticks to Lan Tianye. Mentioning Lan Tianye's math grades, Su's father hoped he could help Cancan with her studies. Lan Tianye, seizing the opportunity, encouraged Su's father to add two more sets of math exercises for Cancan, which made Su Cancan, who was standing by, clench her teeth in annoyance.
In a flash, summer vacation was over. The start of school meant the official beginning of their third year of high school. The atmosphere in the class became very tense with the addition of several senior retakers. Su Cancan, used to a more relaxed pace, found it difficult to adapt to this stressful academic life for a while, so she sought out Xu Meili to vent after school.
Thinking of the retakers in their class, who, simply because they didn't do well in the college entrance exam, couldn't enter university with their former classmates and had to prepare for the exam alone again, the two resolved never to retake the exam, just to avoid experiencing that pain. Facing the high-intensity study pressure of the third year of high school, the school still decided to close the broadcasting station.
Teacher Huang was going to collect the keys to the broadcasting station tomorrow, which made Su Cancan very sad. On her way home from school, she met Lin Jiaze. After his guidance, although Su Cancan's heart was still filled with reluctance, she had to accept this reality for the sake of her dreams.
With only a month left until the college entrance exam, Su Cancan's scores were not ideal after the results of the second mock exam for senior year were announced. This invisible pressure filled Su Cancan with stress and frustration. She hid alone in a corner of the school, secretly crying. After Lan Tianye discovered Cancan wasn't in her seat, he searched the entire school before finding her in the corner. Through Lan Tianye's patient comforting, Su Cancan's mood finally improved. She decided that no matter the outcome, she would at least give it her all.
