Way Back Into Love Episode 26 (Ending) Recap
> Way Back Into Love Recap
Ye Angyang meticulously examined Janice's motorcycle and quickly discovered that its brakes had been deliberately tampered with. Janice recalled a recent encounter where Yu Bo had tried to poach her with a high-paying offer, which she refused. She concluded that Yu Bo was behind the sabotage. Concerned for Janice, Ye Angyang, along with Wang Di and others, took matters into his own hands and removed the tires from Yu Bo's car in an act of retaliation.
Meanwhile, Shao Yifeng had been working on Janice's code, not only shortening it but also significantly enhancing its stability. Impressed by his IT prowess, Janice complimented him and playfully offered him a shoulder massage. Shao Yifeng reacted playfully, saying he was ticklish and to not grab his chest. Ye Angyang witnessed their interaction upon his return and, feeling a pang of jealousy, quietly slipped away. Janice noticed his departure and followed him out.
Ye Angyang admitted his jealousy, lamenting that he couldn't help her with programming like Shao Yifeng could. Janice reassured him of his capabilities, telling him he was the most capable. Despite her efforts to cheer him up, Ye Angyang remained sulky. Frustrated, Janice playfully swatted his head, accidentally hitting his eye. Ye Angyang feigned pain and demanded a chance to hit her back.
Janice closed her eyes in resignation, and Ye Angyang took the opportunity to kiss her, leaving her utterly stunned. Ye Angyang then confessed his feelings, declaring he no longer wanted to be her "brother" but her man. Janice, flushed with shyness, playfully reversed the roles, insisting she would be his "man," to which Ye Angyang happily agreed to be her "little wife." It was the day Pickup's updated software was launching.
The team anxiously watched as Xu Jiaxiu solemnly pressed the launch button. Downloads immediately began to soar. Xu Jiaxiu, pleased with the initial success, dismissed everyone, urging them to go home and rest. Lu Jia and Xu Jiaxiu sought solace by the river, where they looked forward to Pickup's comeback. Later, back at the office, Ye Angyang fed the still-recovering Janice her bitter medicine.
When she complained, he silenced her with a kiss in front of the entire team, leaving everyone stunned. The new couple then proudly revealed matching couple's shirts, officially announcing their relationship to the cheers and congratulations of Lu Jia and their friends. Pickup's new community feature was becoming a sensation. A viral story about a "Bus Route 101 Girl" who used Pickup to find a boy she had admired resonated deeply with users. This story demonstrated how Pickup 2.
0 allowed users to create self-defined communities based on any shared interests or locations, turning previously isolated experiences into opportunities for connection. This feature, articulated by Xu Jiaxiu at a press conference as a solution to "urban autism" by creating "dots" of connection, significantly boosted Pickup's popularity. The app's downloads continued to climb, quickly exceeding twenty million. Xu Jiaxiu started preparing for the next round of financing and soon secured new investment.
As downloads approached twenty-nine million, even Sam, a respected industry commentator, published a positive review of Pickup. To celebrate, Xu Jiaxiu took the entire team to Meng Tiantian's hotpot restaurant. The joyous occasion took an unexpected turn when Meng Tiantian suddenly went into labor. Lu Jia and the others quickly sprang into action, rushing her to the hospital while Zhong Jin was still preoccupied with counting money. Meanwhile, Yu Bo grew increasingly frantic as he watched Pickup's download numbers skyrocket.
Chen Han proposed a desperate measure: faking data. Unbeknownst to them, this conversation was secretly recorded by Zhou Yunbo, who was working as a waiter in the restaurant. Overnight, Lost Time's download numbers inexplicably surged past Pickup's. Xu Jiaxiu suspected data fraud but lacked concrete evidence. Soon after, an anonymous report, accompanied by the video of Yu Bo and Chen Han's meeting, was leaked online. Consequently, Lost Time was ordered to be removed from app stores.
Upon learning the tipster's identity, Xu Jiaxiu brought Ye Angyang to the restaurant to find Zhou Yunbo. He extended a heartfelt invitation for Zhou Yunbo to return to Voya. Zhou Yunbo, feeling immense guilt over his past actions, was hesitant to rejoin. Xu Jiaxiu and Ye Angyang playfully pretended to leave, prompting Zhou Yunbo to chase after them and accept the offer. The team joyfully welcomed Zhou Yunbo back.
Xu Jiaxiu then prepared a new office for him, appointing him as Voya's Deputy General Manager. Elsewhere, Song Juanxi made the difficult decision to terminate his investment in Lost Time. He reflected in a café, the falling rain reminding him of his first encounter with Lu Jia and the chain of events that followed. On a brighter note, it was the wedding day of Lu Hongwei and Jiang Wenting.
Janice, riding a new large motorcycle, picked up Ye Angyang to attend. Wang Di also arrived in a newly purchased car, bringing Xiaoda and Zhang Liang to the venue. All of Voya's staff attended, dressed in their finest, to welcome guests. Shao Yifeng surprised everyone with a new short haircut and a sharp suit. Their amazement grew when it was revealed that he was the renowned commentator, Sam.
Meng Tiantian and Zhong Jin also arrived with their newborn son, to everyone's delight. Amidst the blessings of family and friends, Lu Hongwei and Jiang Wenting exchanged vows. Xu Jiaxiu led the Voya team in a vibrant song and dance performance, celebrating both the newlyweds and the promising future of Voya.
