You Are My Glory Episode 28 Recap
> You Are My Glory Recap
Ms. Ling and Xiao Zhu assisted Jingjing with her packing, during which Jingjing treated them to a lavish meal and granted Xiao Zhu a two-month vacation, encouraging her to travel with her mother, with all expenses covered. Ms. Ling, initially concerned that Jingjing was becoming overly focused on romance, questioned the long break. Jingjing assured her that she was not sacrificing her career for love, emphasizing that she has always prioritized good projects.
She explained that she wanted to be a person of value, not just someone chasing fleeting fame or trying to cash in on her youth. Jingjing expressed her desire to concentrate more on impactful acting roles and reduce other work that brings only short-term attention, acknowledging that Yu Tu's dedication had influenced her thinking. Pleased by Jingjing's maturity, Ms. Ling agreed to support her new career path.
In a later phone call, Ms. Ling reflected on how living together would reveal the true compatibility between Jingjing and Yu Tu. Later that evening, Jingjing and Yu Tu visited Guan Zai and Shen Jing for dinner. Jingjing, who had grown quite close to Shen Jing, helped her prepare the meal. While in the kitchen, Jingjing playfully filmed Shen Jing, coaxing her to tease Yu Tu about his cooking skills, particularly his inability to master braised tofu.
Shen Jing joked that Guan Zai had been equally inept in the kitchen for many years. At the dinner table, Jingjing mischievously tried to claim one of Shen Jing's dishes as her own creation, but Guan Zai quickly detected the deception after tasting it. Jingjing then confessed she had only added some vinegar to the dish, which Guan Zai promptly criticized for ruining the flavor.
During the meal, Guan Zai's child inadvertently revealed online rumors about Jingjing's boyfriend being an aerospace engineer, citing past sightings near Guan Zai's workplace and their joint participation in a competition, and noting that news of their relationship always remained suppressed online. The adults bantered about their demanding work schedules until Shen Jing noticed Yu Tu seemed preoccupied, intuiting that he was still struggling to accept Guan Zai's recent decision.
Guan Zai, however, reassured her that Yu Tu was a broad-minded person who would eventually come to terms with it. Driving home, Jingjing noticed Yu Tu's troubled demeanor and gently inquired about it. Yu Tu confided that Guan Zai had decided to leave the "Search for God" project.
He explained that Guan Zai, his long-time mentor who had entrusted him with the project during his illness, felt the project no longer required his input and cited his own health as a reason, saying he could not sustain the intense, round-the-clock work required for the final bidding stages. Yu Tu expressed his deep disappointment, having hoped to work alongside Guan Zai again.
Jingjing listened patiently, then reminded him of their shared purpose in deep space exploration, emphasizing that even if they were no longer working on the same model, they were still moving forward together towards the same grand objective, just as she and Yu Tu were in their different fields. Yu Tu found solace in her words.
Back home, Yu Tu mentioned his renewed resolve to work even harder, a sentiment Jingjing echoed, sharing her own conversation with Ms. Ling about wanting to become an even greater actress. She playfully remarked that it would be embarrassing if Yu Tu, a brilliant aerospace engineer, had a spouse who was merely "just a pretty person" with no other achievements.
Jingjing then posed a playful question to Yu Tu, wondering if living together for an extended period might reveal personality clashes. Yu Tu reminded her that they had already spent countless hours together playing games. Jingjing countered that those were daytime hours, while now, with his work, their shared time would be mostly evenings. Yu Tu, with a sly grin, suggested they wouldn't have time to argue during the nights.
The following weekend, Yu Tu arranged a dinner to welcome Guan Zai back and to introduce Jingjing to his colleagues. While Jingjing prepared, Yu Tu playfully rushed her, observing that her elaborate yet natural-looking "beguiling makeup" was similar to the one she wore when she first "tricked" him into coming to her apartment to fix her air purifier.
On their way to the restaurant, Da Meng, Yu Tu's colleague and the last remaining singleton in the group, called to check on their arrival, suggesting they dine in the main hall to save money since the private room had a minimum spend. Yu Tu, to Jingjing's amusement, insisted on the private room, claiming his "girlfriend is a delicate girl."
He then teased Jingjing in the car by driving alternately too fast and too slow, to which she playfully declared she was "not a delicate girl." Upon their arrival, Da Meng was utterly stunned to see the celebrity Qiao Jingjing with Yu Tu, and Guan Zai quickly captured an unflattering photo of his shocked face.
Da Meng, messaging Guan Zai to delete the photo and offering bribes, then confronted Yu Tu, jokingly accusing him of being part of a "Secrecy Bureau" for hiding his relationship for so long. Realizing Yu Tu and Jingjing were high school classmates, Da Meng dramatically questioned if they had been secretly dating for "more than 10 years."
Jingjing, seeing Da Meng's texts, mused about what their lives would have been like if they had dated since high school, but quickly decided against it, asserting that she wouldn't have become the beautiful and interesting person she is today. She then teasingly reminded Yu Tu that, even after a decade, he still ended up with a beautiful and adorable girlfriend, asking him to express his happiness through action. Da Meng later messaged the group again, wondering where they had disappeared to.
