When I Fly Towards You Episode 5 Recap
> When I Fly Towards You Recap
The basketball game concluded with Zhang Lurang and his team victorious. Gu Ran, basking in the glow of the win, strutted towards Jiang Jia, flexing his muscles and seeking her admiration. He asked if he was handsome, but Jiang Jia's attention was immediately drawn to Shen Qianyu, who had just arrived. Her eyes lit up as she cheered for him. Gu Ran, misinterpreting her enthusiasm, believed her praises were directed at him, blissfully unaware of his mistake.
Jiang Jia continued to focus solely on Shen Qianyu, even jumping up to cheer for him specifically, making it evident to everyone but Gu Ran that her admiration lay elsewhere. Guan Fang, observing the whole scene, found Gu Ran's delusion highly amusing, especially after listening to his boasts about Jiang Jia's supposed fascination with him. Later, Gu Ran confronted Jiang Jia, asking why she had been smiling in his direction if she liked Shen Qianyu.
Jiang Jia candidly stated that she had been looking at Shen Qianyu the whole time and that Gu Ran had simply been blocking her view. She even brought up a past incident where Gu Ran had impersonated Zhang Lurang, causing her to mistakenly praise the wrong person. Upon learning that Gu Ran and Shen Qianyu were family friends through their fathers, Jiang Jia's demeanor instantly shifted.
She began to flatter Gu Ran, showering him with attention and questions about Shen Qianyu's preferences. Gu Ran, trying to escape her relentless interrogation, attempted to run away, but Jiang Jia persistently followed. An opportunity arose when Shen Qianyu invited Gu Ran to dinner after a Dramatic Society meeting, offering for him to bring friends. Jiang Jia immediately declared her intention to join, claiming a "revolutionary friendship" with Gu Ran.
To ensure her inclusion, she subtly threatened to reveal an embarrassing incident where Gu Ran was locked in the equipment room, coercing him into agreeing to bring her along. Meanwhile, Su Zaizai was in high spirits, having secured the opportunity to tutor Zhang Lurang. With some pocket money from her father, she generously treated her friends to snacks and purchased some for Zhang Lurang, including meticulously prepared English notes.
She headed to Class 1 to deliver the items, finding the classroom empty. She placed the bag on Zhang Lurang's desk, attaching a note encouraging him to "Keep it up!" As she left, she encountered Ye Zhenxin, who, still holding a grudge, confronted her. Ye Zhenxin aggressively questioned Su Zaizai's presence in Class 1, to which Su Zaizai retorted curtly that she was there for a reason.
Shortly after Su Zaizai left, Ye Zhenxin discovered that their class fund was missing and immediately reported it to her teacher. Ye Zhenxin recounted her movements, mentioning that she had only seen Su Zaizai alone in the classroom when she returned. The school administrators checked the surveillance footage, which indeed showed only Su Zaizai entering Class 1 during that time, making her the prime suspect. The head teacher, Mr. Chang, summoned Su Zaizai and Lin Mao to his office.
Lin Mao tried to defend Su Zaizai, but Mr. Chang dismissed his concerns, citing the surveillance and Ye Zhenxin's exemplary record. Mr. Chang directly questioned Su Zaizai, hinting that the money she used to treat her classmates might have been the missing funds. Su Zaizai vehemently denied the accusation, asserting that it was her own money. Just as the tension escalated, Zhang Lurang arrived, clarifying that Su Zaizai was in Class 1 to deliver English notes for his tutoring sessions.
He confessed that he had asked her to keep their tutoring a secret, as he was embarrassed about his poor English skills. Despite Zhang Lurang's testimony, Mr. Chang stated that until the class fund was found, Su Zaizai would remain a subject of suspicion. Later, Zhang Lurang privately returned the notes to Su Zaizai, reiterating his trust in her.
Jiang Jia was furious when she heard about the false accusations against Su Zaizai and encouraged Su Zaizai to fake cry to gain sympathy, a skill Su Zaizai demonstrated with surprising realism. Zhang Lurang, witnessing this, decided to take action. After school, Su Zaizai resolved to find the money herself by searching the trash bins. To her surprise, she found Zhang Lurang, Gu Ran, Guan Fang, and Jiang Jia already sifting through the bins on her behalf.
Su Zaizai was deeply touched by their unwavering support. Despite their thorough efforts, the class fund remained missing. The next day, their search continued in the classroom. When they found nothing, Zhang Lurang firmly told Ye Zhenxin to search her own desk properly. Ye Zhenxin, grumbling about their bias towards an outsider, reluctantly emptied her desk. Tucked inside a book, an envelope containing the class fund was finally discovered.
Ye Zhenxin, caught, tried to deny her oversight and even suggested Su Zaizai might have put it there. Zhang Lurang sharply rebuked her, emphasizing the harm of baseless rumors and demanding that she apologize to Su Zaizai. Upon hearing the news, Su Zaizai immediately confronted Ye Zhenxin. Ye Zhenxin offered a terse, insincere apology without looking at her.
Su Zaizai firmly rejected it, explaining that an apology must be sincere to truly rectify harm, not just empty words to pretend nothing happened. The following day, the friends went to an amusement park. Su Zaizai, eager to showcase her affection, chose matching headbands, insisting that Zhang Lurang wear one. Though he initially expressed reluctance, claiming his head was too big, Zhang Lurang eventually wore the headband. The group enjoyed various thrilling rides, exhausting Gu Ran and Guan Fang.
Su Zaizai then suggested the Ferris wheel, and Zhang Lurang readily agreed. Inside the Ferris wheel, at its highest point, Su Zaizai made two heartfelt wishes: first, that everyone would achieve good results in their recent exam, and second, that Zhang Lurang would smile more often. She revealed her observation that he had "little dimples" when he smiled, which she found very charming. Zhang Lurang initially denied smiling, but Su Zaizai affectionately insisted he had, as a subtle smile played on his lips.
