When I Fly Towards You Episode 13 Recap
> When I Fly Towards You Recap
A lecturer from Jiangyi University's Psychology Faculty visited Jiangyi Affiliated High School to hold a psychology seminar, and students were invited to attend voluntarily. Initially, Gu Ran didn't plan to go, but upon learning that Jiang Jia would be there, he immediately changed his mind. During the seminar, the lecturer shared a personal anecdote from his high school days when the school radio often played Jay Chou's song "Her Eyelashes."
He described how his gaze would involuntarily drift to his deskmate's long eyelashes as she napped, a distraction that led him to understand the word "palpitation" or "fluttering feeling." The story resonated deeply with Su Zaizai, who felt the same way about Zhang Lurang. The lecturer's words also struck a chord with Gu Ran, who found himself looking at Jiang Jia, realizing her every expression had quietly captured his heart.
Jiang Jia, however, playfully disagreed with what she perceived as a "sneaky" approach to love, asserting that if she liked someone, she would express it openly. After school, while the friends were getting snacks, Su Zaizai mentioned Jiang Jia had spent all her money on a glass bottle. Gu Ran generously offered to pay for everyone's snacks with his recent contest prize money.
Later, noticing Jiang Jia was missing, Gu Ran feigned forgetting his homework to go back and find her. He discovered her in Shen Qianyu's empty classroom, trying to secretly place a glass bottle filled with meticulously folded stars on his desk. She explained to a teasing Gu Ran that the sender's identity didn't matter, and she wanted to avoid any misunderstandings like the time Su Zaizai was wrongly accused of stealing.
When a classmate entered the room, Jiang Jia quickly pulled Gu Ran under a desk to hide. In the confined space, Gu Ran's heart fluttered. While placing the bottle, Jiang Jia accidentally knocked over some books and found Shen Qianyu's application form to study abroad, leaving her disheartened. The news was officially announced the next day at a Dramatic Society meeting, where the teacher informed everyone that Shen Qianyu would be leaving in about a week.
Feeling the urgency, Jiang Jia decided to write a confession letter to Shen Qianyu, with Su Zaizai's supportive help. As she was drafting it, Wang Nan appeared and mistook them for copying math homework. To avoid being found out, they let him take the homework, accidentally including the confession letter tucked inside. Since the teacher's office was busy, they decided to retrieve it during the lunch break. Meanwhile, Zhang Lurang and Ye Zhenxin were helping to sort math papers.
Ye Zhenxin found the letter in Su Zaizai's notebook and began reading it aloud. Annoyed, Zhang Lurang admonished her for prying into others' privacy, though he was visibly agitated by the letter's contents. Ye Zhenxin retorted that he was only being protective because the notebook belonged to Su Zaizai. Just then, Su Zaizai arrived to get her "homework" back, and a silent Zhang Lurang let her take it. For the next few days, Zhang Lurang was distant toward Su Zaizai.
Sensing the reason, she playfully confronted him, "punishing" him for not recognizing her handwriting after all their tutoring sessions by making him review her notes at home. That night, Zhang Lurang compared the letter's handwriting to a note from Su Zaizai. Upon seeing they were different, a relieved smile spread across his face. Jiang Jia later ran into Shen Qianyu, who confirmed he was leaving in two weeks and gave her a ticket to his farewell recital.
Her initial joy at being singled out faded when she learned he had given tickets to everyone they knew. Determined to look her best, she asked Gu Ran to help her pick out new shoes. At the store, she chose a pair of elegant high heels, despite never having worn them and struggling to walk. She admitted to Gu Ran that she was changing her image to stand beautifully before Shen Qianyu at the recital.
A concluding narration reflects on these teenage feelings, where protective gestures are disguised as clumsiness, seemingly chance encounters are carefully calculated, and heartfelt gifts are delivered under the guise of pranks, all becoming treasured secrets that make the future worth looking forward to.
