Walk Into Your Memory Episode 15 Recap
> Walk Into Your Memory Recap
After waking up from her coma, An Ning had a conversation with Long Haoqian. She recalled hearing someone say in her semi-conscious state that she would have a baby with him if he recovered, and that she would never be too old for him. Long Haoqian teased her, asking if she wanted it to be just a dream. An Ning then admitted that she was terrified at the thought of losing him.
Later, while watching a movie in Long Haoqian's home screening room, An Ning playfully pretended to feel dizzy and nauseous when looking at him, claiming she was perfectly fine when seeing other men. She then confessed that only three men had ever truly entered her heart: her grandfather, her father, and Long Haoqian. She described Long Haoqian as outwardly condescending but possessing the softest heart, being the purest, kindest, most domineering, and handsome person she had ever met.
She declared her intention to keep him in her heart forever. An Ning also revealed that she had lost her superpower to see others' memories after recovering from the coma. Long Haoqian, however, assured her that he would always love her, jokingly adding that now he could finally touch women, to which An Ning quickly objected, prompting his playful agreement not to. Meanwhile, Xia Tian confided in Yi Mingjun that she had decided to leave the entertainment industry.
She explained that she used to see herself as a superwoman, handling everything alone, but after her mother's recent incident, she realized she only wanted to be with Yi Mingjun and live a peaceful life, embracing the role of a good wife and mother. She asked if he was willing to support her, and Yi Mingjun promised to be her best supporter and provide her with a good life.
Elsewhere, William informed his sister, Min'er, that he had accepted a new role that would take him away for a year. Min'er was unhappy, believing he should have told An Ning about all he had done for her over the years. William maintained that his actions were for himself, not An Ning, and urged Min'er not to interfere in his or An Ning's affairs, especially since An Ning was still recovering.
Min'er also raised concerns that with Long Haoqian's mother's strong stance, her marriage to Long Haoqian might truly materialize, and suggested William pursue An Ning now to spare her future heartbreak. William firmly told her that An Ning and Long Haoqian would not easily separate. Min'er then questioned if William had intentionally sought An Ning during her accident, which he denied, claiming he was just passing by and helping.
An Ning's mother met with Long Haoqian, returning the hospital admission fee for An Ning. She thanked him for his concern but suggested that he and An Ning should forget each other. Long Haoqian apologized for his mother's past behavior. An Ning's mother acknowledged that there was a significant gap between their families.
Long Haoqian then confessed that before meeting An Ning, he did not understand love, giving, or the concept of family, but An Ning's wholehearted love had made him realize he was truly human. An Ning's mother explained that love is personal, but marriage involves two families, and while she disliked Long Haoqian's mother's attitude, she understood her concerns were valid.
Long Haoqian declared his willingness to give up everything, start from scratch, and devote his life to loving and caring for An Ning, asking for her permission for them to be together. To earn their blessing, Long Haoqian began undertaking all the physical chores at An Ning's house. An Ning's grandfather questioned if Long Haoqian could cook, to which he sheepishly admitted he could only eat.
He diligently cleaned, chopped ingredients, changed light bulbs, and cleaned the toilet, eager to prove himself. After he prepared a meal, the family sat down to eat. Her grandfather, though initially joking that Long Haoqian had failed the test, granted him a second opportunity. Long Haoqian enthusiastically promised to work harder and take good care of An Ning.
Her grandfather then asked Long Haoqian about An Yi, revealing that An Yi was An Ning's elder sister who had passed away years ago, donating her corneas to An Ning so she could regain her sight. He emphasized that An Ning was his cherished granddaughter and he wouldn't rush her marriage. The grandfather continued to test Long Haoqian by making him drink a lot of baijiu, causing him to get drunk.
An Ning's mother later scolded her father for making Long Haoqian drink excessively, but her grandfather insisted it was a necessary test of character for An Ning's sake. Later that night, as Long Haoqian slept off the alcohol in An Ning's room, she gazed at him, remarking on his long eyelashes and tall nose, and playfully commented that it was fortunate he couldn't touch women before, or he would surely have been seduced. She wished him a good night's sleep.
An Ning’s mother also entered, watching Long Haoqian sleep, and expressed that he was a good, educated, and successful young man, concluding that An Ning's long wait for a partner had been worth it. Long Haoqian woke up to find An Ning still awake and asked her why she had never mentioned her elder sister. An Ning sadly recounted that her sister, An Yi, was three years older and had passed away at 17, ten years prior.
An Ning described An Yi as prettier, with bigger eyes. She recalled An Yi’s last birthday, where An Yi told her to cherish her words and, if she ever saw again, not to cry but to see all the beautiful things in the world.
An Yi promised they would go to school together and travel with their family, and then told An Ning that her gift was in her room, advising her to love and respect her family, be understanding, obedient, take care of herself, and live a happy life.
An Ning remembered finding the gift and asking An Yi if it was nice, but An Yi was already gone, leaving her final wishes as a memory: to fulfill her dreams, find a nice man, get married, and have a baby. An Ning recounted waiting for An Yi in the garden that day, but her sister never returned.
The following night, her grandfather and mother rushed home to tell her An Yi had been in a car accident and was hospitalized, after which An Ning herself was rushed to the hospital for a corneal transplant. An Ning later discovered the truth: An Yi had not had an accident but had committed suicide by jumping off a building. Her only message was a note requesting her corneas be donated to An Ning, so her sister could live for her.
The devastating news led to An Ning’s father suffering a fatal heart attack. Everyone had hidden the truth from An Ning, and it was only a month later that she learned both her sister and father were gone. An Ning cried uncontrollably, and it was then that she inexplicably gained her superpower, through which she witnessed the dirty, selfish, and ugly sides of humanity.
She spoke of life as walking on a sharp knife, leaving scars—some healed but ugly, others lasting a lifetime, hurting terribly with every touch. The next morning, Long Haoqian, wearing an apron, was preparing breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was his father, who politely greeted An Ning’s family, bearing gifts. He stated his purpose for the visit: to meet them and formally propose marriage for Long Haoqian and An Ning.
Long Haoqian, however, received an urgent call about a work crisis and had to leave for the office, reassuring An Ning that he would call her after resolving the issue. At the Long Teng Hotel, Long Haoqian was immediately surrounded by reporters, who questioned him about a customer reportedly suffering from food poisoning. He calmly stated that an investigation was underway and the hotel would provide a reasonable explanation once the results were known.
His manager informed him that the customer, who had dined alone, exhibited symptoms consistent with food poisoning, and the incident had been quickly publicized online. Long Haoqian instructed the staff to maintain a normal appearance and not show any fear. Another report confirmed that initial inspections found no issues with the hotel’s hygiene or ingredients, but the customer’s food samples were still awaiting assay results.
A chef lamented the numerous cancellations and negative news, expressing his doubt about the food poisoning claim. The situation escalated when the customer’s family arrived at the hotel, causing a scene and accusing Long Teng of negligence, all while being filmed by reporters. The hotel's stock price also experienced a significant drop. Long Haoqian’s father visited him at his office.
He acknowledged the hotel incident and the potential trouble with the directors, informing Long Haoqian that he would attend the Annual Director Meeting with him. Long Haoqian initially assumed his father was there to help him deal with the hotel crisis. His father clarified that while he expected Long Haoqian to handle business challenges, his primary reason for attending the meeting was to solemnly announce the marriage of the Long family’s sole heir.
He revealed that he and An Ning’s grandfather had already set the wedding date for the sixth day of June in the lunar calendar, instructing Long Haoqian to make proper preparations and plan a public announcement to introduce An Ning to their business partners and the media. Long Haoqian was visibly pleased by his father’s swift actions and the newfound closeness between them.
His father also sternly warned him not to mistreat An Ning, as she was her family's only daughter. Long Haoqian readily agreed, his face beaming with happiness. Meanwhile, Gong Chen, granted a two-hour leave from the hospital, took a taxi to the Long Teng Hotel kitchen. During the ride, the taxi driver badmouthed Long Teng, claiming its food was poisonous and calling it an "unscrupulous enterprise."
Gong Chen, vehemently defending the hotel, declared himself the head chef and told the driver to stop spreading baseless rumors. An Ning also visited the hotel kitchen, feeling restless at home. Long Haoqian reminded her to prioritize her health, take her medicine, eat on time, and rest, promising to accompany her to her follow-up appointments when he had time. Back at home, Long Haoqian’s mother sat alone, visibly distressed by the hotel crisis. Long Haoqian’s father then arrived and asked to speak with her.
