When I Fly Towards You Episode 15 Recap
> When I Fly Towards You Recap
The music festival's halftime show featured an interactive segment where a lucky audience member was chosen to sing. The host announced number 49, which, to everyone's surprise, was Zhang Lurang. Though initially hesitant, claiming he wasn't much of a singer, he was encouraged by Su Zaizai and Jiang Jia. Zhang Lurang went on stage and performed while Su Zaizai enthusiastically recorded the moment.
Afterward, she discovered her recording had captured mostly the excited cheers of Gu Ran and Guan Fang, rather than Zhang Lurang's voice. The group later enjoyed a relaxing time at the beach, splashing around playfully before settling down to share what summer meant to them. Guan Fang recalled the refreshing feeling of splashing cold water on his face after playing basketball, while Gu Ran spoke of scooping the center of a watermelon.
Su Zaizai reminisced about her grandmother's mung bean soup and a summer sleeping mat, and Zhang Lurang mentioned banana-flavored popsicles. Collectively, they expressed a wish for the summer to linger longer, with Su Zaizai adding that she especially cherished this particular summer. As the summer break concluded, the new school year for Grade 11 began with students being divided into liberal arts and science classes.
Su Zaizai and Jiang Jia were thrilled to find themselves together in Liberal Arts Class 2, marveling at their shared fate. Their surprise grew when Guan Fang walked in, having also chosen liberal arts. Guan Fang humorously justified his choice, claiming his "reserved and cultured demeanor" made it a perfect fit.
Their new homeroom teacher, Lin Mao, welcomed them and emphasized that Grade 11 was a crucial "dividing line" for their high school journey, urging them to use the evening self-study sessions to address their weaknesses in preparation for Grade 12. Gu Ran, missing Guan Fang, tried to talk to Zhang Lurang during class, prompting a swift rebuke from Teacher Lin, who suggested he sit by the podium if he needed someone to talk to.
After class, Gu Ran and Zhang Lurang visited Guan Fang. Gu Ran playfully claimed they were there to "comfort" the supposedly "frail" Guan Fang. Zhang Lurang handed Guan Fang a stack of compiled study notes and example questions from the summer, though he clarified they were for himself too. Gu Ran then invited Jiang Jia to pick up gifts from Shen Qianyu the next day.
Jiang Jia initially refused but quickly changed her mind at the mention of presents, leading Guan Fang to question the true motive of their visit. At Guan Fang's grandmother's dessert shop, everyone received gifts from Shen Qianyu, but Jiang Jia was the only one without one. Guan Fang quickly reassured her, suggesting her gift was likely too precious and had been shipped separately.
Later, Gu Ran messaged Shen Qianyu, who explained he hadn't known what to buy for Jiang Jia and asked Gu Ran to select something for her. Gu Ran carefully chose a watch and had it nicely wrapped. He struggled with how to present it, but when Guan Fang arrived, he helped by announcing that the gift from Shen Qianyu had arrived.
Jiang Jia was delighted upon receiving the watch, profusely thanking Shen Qianyu, while Gu Ran looked on with a complicated expression. The next morning, Guan Fang and Jiang Jia showed up at Gu Ran's home, concerned because he had missed their planned study session at the library. While Gu Ran went to wash up, Jiang Jia searched for snacks and stumbled upon his laptop.
She found his chat history with Shen Qianyu, revealing that Gu Ran had bought the watch for her. She confronted Gu Ran, asking if he was hiding anything. Gu Ran playfully confessed to secretly eating her watermelon with Guan Fang the day before, leading Jiang Jia to chase them around with a cushion. Later that night, Jiang Jia put on the watch, her spirits lifted.
The following day, when a classmate complimented her watch, she proudly stated it was a gift from a "special friend." One evening, while Zhang Lurang was tutoring Su Zaizai in an empty classroom, the power suddenly went out. Zhang Lurang lit some candles, creating a cozy atmosphere. Su Zaizai playfully attempted to flirt using a complex math concept, but Zhang Lurang calmly responded by explaining the mathematical logic.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Zhenxin observed their interaction, grew jealous, and secretly took a photo. Soon after, rumors spread through the school about increased strictness regarding relationships. Their teacher, Mr. Lin, addressed the class, warning against "close interaction between male and female students." Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang were subsequently called to the office, where the head teacher, Mr. Chang, confronted them with Ye Zhenxin's photo.
They insisted they were merely studying, but Mr. Chang accused them of influencing other students. Both Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang defiantly claimed they could still achieve first place in their upcoming competitions without extra preparation, leaving the head teacher exasperated. After they left, Ye Zhenxin confronted Su Zaizai, admitting she was the one who reported them.
She maliciously called Su Zaizai stupid and threatened to lie to Zhang Lurang by telling him it was Su Zaizai who had reported them to the teachers. Gossip circulated about Zhang Lurang's situation. His mother, summoned by the homeroom teacher, arrived and angrily confronted him about his closeness with a girl from another class.
Despite Mr. Lin's attempts to explain they were only tutoring, his mother insisted Zhang Lurang should focus solely on his studies, unfavorably comparing him to his younger brother. She then announced their decision to transfer him back to Suyang for school. Zhang Lurang pleaded to stay, but his uncle explained that his academic registration was in Suyang, forcing him to return there for the Gaokao.
The uncle warned that a late transfer might prevent him from entering a key class in Suyang due to differing teaching paces, though he offered to explore the difficult options for an out-of-province exam. Deeply troubled by the transfer news, Zhang Lurang became quiet and withdrawn. Su Zaizai noticed his distress and, mistakenly assuming it was due to the school's scrutiny, tried to cheer him up. Overwhelmed, Zhang Lurang abruptly told her to "be quiet."
Hurt by his words, Su Zaizai apologized and quickly left, internalizing recent gossip she had overheard about Zhang Lurang being annoyed by a girl from another class who kept "pestering him."
