You Are My Glory Episode 19 Recap
> You Are My Glory Recap
Following the X3-2 rover test in Dunhuang, Yu Tu was consumed by thoughts of Jingjing. He looked at their old chat logs, unsure how to break the silence between them. A colleague, Mr. Zhou, assumed he was texting his girlfriend, which Yu Tu didn't deny, but clarified that the messages were old. When an issue arose during the rover test, Yu Tu and his team worked tirelessly to identify the problem, barely stopping to eat.
In the midst of a sandstorm, while Yu Tu and his colleagues were showering, Mr. Zhou mentioned hearing a voice message from Jingjing asking Yu Tu to bring her breakfast. His colleagues were surprised, as Yu Tu always ate in the cafeteria. Yu Tu didn't elaborate and quickly finished showering. Later that night, Lao Guan called Yu Tu, relaying information from Mr. Li that Yu Tu spent his free time looking at the stars.
Mr. Li also inquired if Yu Tu had a girlfriend, and Lao Guan mentioned Jingjing, noting their shared gaming videos and how obvious it was that Jingjing was interested in him. Yu Tu admitted that he constantly thought about Jingjing, but questioned what he could offer her. He felt inadequate because of his financial situation and inability to be present in her life. Lao Guan understood, but still delivered Shen Jing's words of encouragement, that feelings shouldn't be calculated.
A month passed quickly. The team's field test was a success, and everyone celebrated. Yu Tu returned to his room and wrote a letter to Jingjing. The next day, the team returned home. At the institute, Yu Tu held a meeting to discuss revisions to Project One. He suggested the name "Sōushén" (Godseeker), inspired by Lao Guan.
The project's mission was to seek truth about humanity and Earth in the vast universe and search for the possibility of another miracle, proving humans weren't alone. In Shanghai, snow fell steadily. After attending the Starlight Awards, Jingjing changed clothes and went to the after-party. There, she unexpectedly encountered her ex-boyfriend, Mr. Su. At the after-party, Mr. Su approached Jingjing, commenting on how long it had been.
He asked if Yu Tu was one of the reasons she broke up with him so decisively. Jingjing didn't answer. Later, Mr. Su apologized for the leaked video of her playing games, explaining it was his ex-girlfriend who posted it. He claimed he only saved the video because he found it amusing and didn't know how his ex-girlfriend had found it, regretting his carelessness.
He also mentioned seeing Jingjing play in the King of Glory competition and expressed interest in rekindling their relationship, pointing out that she had said she was single during the event. Jingjing countered that Mr. Su seemed to have enjoyed watching the drama unfold with his ex-girlfriend. She pointed out that if she had lost the competition, he wouldn't be standing there trying to reconcile.
She then reminded him that their breakup had nothing to do with anyone else; she had been serious about their relationship. The real reason they broke up was that he had asked her to give up her career, which made her realize he had never seen her as an equal. " We belong in different worlds," she stated firmly, ending the conversation.
Later that evening, Jingjing was on the phone with Ms. Ling, her manager, who pressured her to invite Yu Tu for dinner. Jingjing avoided the topic, claiming to be too busy. After the call, Jingjing found several letters from Yu Tu in her mailbox. In the first letter, Yu Tu responded to a message she had sent him on QQ back in high school, which he had ignored at the time.
Now, he patiently answered her questions, including one about the escape velocity of spacecraft. In subsequent letters, Yu Tu elaborated on the history of modern aerospace and deep space exploration. In the last letter, he asked if she would be returning to Yixing for the Spring Festival. Jingjing remembered a time in high school when she learned from a friend that Yu Tu was dating Xia Qing. Heartbroken, she had deleted everything related to Yu Tu and cried all night.
Overwhelmed by these memories, she opened Yu Tu's WeChat and typed a message: "Thank you for your answers, but they don't matter anymore." On New Year's Eve, Jingjing's parents arrived to spend the holiday with her. They enjoyed a reunion dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala. After dinner, Jingjing checked her WeChat and saw that Yu Tu hadn't replied. She felt disheartened.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after her parents left, Jingjing prepared to return to Yixing after her performance. To her surprise, Yu Tu was waiting for her in the parking lot. Yu Tu explained that he learned about her travel plans from Pei Pei and offered to drive her back himself. During the silent car ride, Yu Tu confessed that he had come from Yixing that morning specifically to see her, driven by her last message. At a service area, while Jingjing returned from the restroom, Yu Tu stopped her before she got back in the car, asking, "So my answers truly don't matter anymore?"
