When I Fly Towards You Episode 22 Recap
> When I Fly Towards You Recap
Su Zaizai and Zhang Lurang found themselves spending the New Year in Jiangyi together, a first for them as a couple, with Su Zaizai staying to accompany her uncle. As snow began to fall, Su Zaizai recalled a wish she had made the previous winter to be with Zhang Lurang when it snowed again, noting that it had come true. Playfully, she mentioned her eyes felt cold, leading Zhang Lurang to gently cover them with his hands.
When she then claimed she couldn't see and needed him to hold her hand, he embraced her. Su Zaizai reflected on how winter was perfectly suited for romance, providing natural reasons for closeness, like hugging amidst the wind and snow or using the warmth of roasted sweet potatoes as an excuse to hold hands. Time passed, and the friends reached their graduation internship period.
Zhang Lurang pursued flight vehicle manufacturing, passionately describing flying as humanity's most romantic pursuit and himself as a "conductor of air currents," which inspired Su Zaizai to strive just as hard. Their friends were also on their own paths: Jiang Jia became an intern reporter at a TV station, Guan Fang was busy with graduation preparations, and Gu Ran, studying abroad, was often absent from their group calls due to the time difference and his demanding schedule.
Despite being busy, everyone was shining in their respective fields. On graduation day, Su Zaizai, who planned to move back to Jiangyi and rent a place with Zhang Lurang, assumed he would be too busy at his company to attend her ceremony. To her delight, he appeared with a bouquet, explaining that he didn't want to miss any of her significant moments and knew she would want to share her happiness.
After graduating, the couple returned to Jiangyi and moved into their new apartment. Zhang Lurang had already set up the place with his belongings, eagerly waiting for Su Zaizai's things to make it truly their home. Su Zaizai playfully remarked on how soft her bed was and suggested he join her to test it that night. Taking her jest seriously, Zhang Lurang gently pushed her onto the bed and kissed her, declaring that they didn't need to wait until nightfall.
Su Zaizai began her internship as a translator in a data department. When a colleague commented on the "ceremonial" act of displaying her boyfriend's photo, Su Zaizai relayed Zhang Lurang's advice that filling a new environment with personal items helps create a sense of belonging. Their bond deepened despite their busy schedules. One evening, Su Zaizai waited for Zhang Lurang after he worked late. Exhausted, he rested his head on her shoulder, joking that he needed to "recharge."
After watching a movie together, Su Zaizai playfully interviewed him for a rating. He gave it a perfect score, explaining the movie itself was worth fifty points, but the person he watched it with made it a hundred. While packing to return home, Gu Ran's roommate asked for his limited-edition game. Gu Ran refused, stating it was for a close friend who loved gaming.
The roommate then pointed out a carefully wrapped ring, guessing it was for someone significant, which made Gu Ran think of Jiang Jia. The five friends later had a video call. Jiang Jia was on the street near Tianmen Bridge, waiting for an interview subject. Noticing she was cold, Gu Ran secretly ordered a scarf to be delivered to her. Jiang Jia accepted the anonymous gift, touched by the gesture.
Su Zaizai mused that Gu Ran and Jiang Jia might get along more harmoniously now compared to their bickering high school days. Zhang Lurang, however, commented that he felt their relationship was already quite good, based on his intuition. While walking together, Zhang Lurang and Su Zaizai ran into their high school acquaintance, Wang Nan, who correctly guessed they were a couple, noting Su Zaizai’s affection for Zhang Lurang was obvious back then.
Soon after, Gu Ran returned, and the five friends finally reunited for a karaoke night. Guan Fang revealed he had declined a job offer to stay in Jiangyi to be near his grandmother and friends. Later, Guan Fang and Su Zaizai both became inebriated after just one drink. Seeing her discomfort, Zhang Lurang carried a tipsy Su Zaizai home, vowing to never let her drink again. Su Zaizai embarked on a business trip.
When Zhang Lurang's colleagues invited him to a gathering, he declined, explaining he needed to call his girlfriend. He confessed to them that contrary to what they might think, he was the "clingy one" in their relationship. His colleagues, observing his devotion, wondered what his girlfriend was like, picturing someone gentle, poised, understanding, and quiet. Later, Su Zaizai called Zhang Lurang, excited about seeing an actor who resembled Guan Fang.
She described her hotel's sea view and a local noodle shop, though she admitted their university spot was better. Before her client meeting, she confessed her nervousness, but Zhang Lurang calmed her by reminding her of her past successes. The business dinner with a British company went smoothly, which was credited to the connections of their partner, Mr. Wei. He praised Su Zaizai for her fluent translation and professionalism but then pressured her to drink wine.
Su Zaizai politely declined, explaining her low tolerance, and offered to toast with tea. Unfazed, Mr. Wei then insisted she eat, even after she said she wasn't hungry. Finally, he dismissively suggested she go "enjoy the views" outside while the others finished their meal.
