> You Are So Sweet Recap
At the press conference for the "Lethe" production team, the crowd enthusiastically welcomed Mobuyu to the stage. Mobuyu, who also plays the romantic and devoted character Gu Zixuan in "Lethe," captivated everyone's attention immediately. During the fan Q&A session, a netizen named "Legitimate Mrs. Mo" asked Mobuyu what kind of love he most desired.
Mobuyu replied that while the love in "Lethe," spanning multiple lifetimes, deeply touched him, he personally wished for a love that was simpler and more romantic, with fewer painful experiences. He vowed to use his utmost effort to protect this lifetime's love. The host then asked if the person he wished to protect for life was present in the audience. Mobuyu confirmed that she was right there.
He explained his unusual public revelation by stating that it was a very important day for her as she was stepping onto her dream stage for the first time. He wanted to be part of all her significant moments and wished to be by her side forever. He further clarified that his girlfriend was indeed someone from the "Lethe" crew.
He then quoted a line from the play about a woman loving the wrong person, adding that in the play she loved the wrong person, but today, he was the right one. He emotionally shared that she was once the one in the audience listening to his voice, and she had told him no one's voice had ever moved her so much. He thanked her for liking Mobuyu's voice and, more importantly, for liking him, the real him.
As he walked off the stage towards her, he confessed that he never thought he would do something so crazy before meeting her, having expected to spend his life behind masks and sunglasses. It was she who made him brave enough to face himself, the person he liked, and the things he liked, without fear. In a dramatic moment, Mobuyu removed his mask.
Gu Chenyu, revealing himself as Mobuyu, then thanked Xiaoning, acknowledging her love for both Mobuyu and Gu Chenyu. Xiaoning, in turn, thanked Mobuyu for accompanying her with his voice and Gu Chenyu for entering her heart. At home, Jin Yao was casually organizing books when Xie Fei arrived at her door. He said he came to see her, but Jin Yao, determined to play hard to get, quickly ushered him out.
Meanwhile, Gu Chenyu's parents were watching the news about the press conference. Gu Chenyu's father was enraged, feeling disrespected by his son's public identity reveal without any prior discussion. He threatened to disown Gu Chenyu if he continued in the voice acting industry. Gu Chenyu's mother, however, tried to calm her husband, reminding him that Gu Chenyu was their biological son.
Gu Xiyuan, Gu Chenyu's brother, chimed in, blaming Xia Xiaoning for the situation, but his father quickly silenced him, ordering him to call Gu Chenyu to return home. Gu Chenyu's mother refused to make the call, suggesting that Gu Chenyu and Xiaoning needed their space after such a romantic confession. She then tried to soften her husband's stance, arguing that this public display might not be a bad thing.
She observed that Gu Chenyu, who had always been restrained and private about his emotions, had taken a significant and dramatic step for Xiaoning, making him more responsible and warm. She admitted she preferred him this way. Later, Jin Yao arrived at Xiaoning's place, jokingly "borrowing" her from Gu Chenyu. As they walked away, Jin Yao excitedly gushed about Gu Chenyu's public confession and identity reveal, remarking that it had shattered many girls' dreams and caused an online sensation.
Xiaoning inquired about the public reaction, and Jin Yao assured her that most people were praising Gu Chenyu as romantic and deeply affectionate, though some were "sour as lemon essence." Jin Yao, drawing on her experience in the entertainment industry, believed Gu Chenyu had expertly guided public opinion and hailed his actions as the "benchmark for a model boyfriend."
She declared their story of a "newbie meeting an idol male god" and overcoming obstacles to a happy ending to be "fairy love," an inspirational tale she felt compelled to record. Xiaoning and Gu Chenyu were relaxing on the sofa, watching a movie. Xiaoning couldn't help but gush over the male lead, remarking on his attractiveness and long eyelashes. Gu Chenyu, feigning annoyance or jealousy, instructed her to get some fruit from the refrigerator.
As Xiaoning turned to comply, Gu Chenyu playfully pinned her against the wall, asking if she found him handsome and sweet. Xiaoning teasingly accused him of being jealous of a TV character. He then charmingly put her feet into his slippers and guided her to the kitchen sink, where they washed and ate grapes together. Meanwhile, Jin Yao was diligently at home, documenting Xiaoning and Gu Chenyu's "fairy-like" romance online.
She specifically aimed to counter negative fan comments, resolving to write a compelling piece that would make any remaining "girlfriend fans" who unfairly targeted Xiaoning "sour with envy." Separately, Gu Chenyu's father was practicing calligraphy while listening to a voice recording of Gu Chenyu, seemingly finding tranquility in the activity. Gu Chenyu was carefully blow-drying Xiaoning's hair when he accidentally singed her slightly.
Xiaoning, unbothered, gently showed him how to properly hold the dryer away from the roots and move it to avoid burning. Their gaze met, leading to a kiss, and Gu Chenyu slowly lowered Xiaoning onto the bed. The next day, Jin Yao was at home, closely monitoring the online public opinion regarding Gu Chenyu's revelation, noting a positive trend and planning to further boost it. Xie Fei then arrived at her door.
Jin Yao, explaining her current busy schedule guiding public opinion as Gu Chenyu's "golden best friend," asked about his purpose. Xie Fei revealed that Gu Chenyu's public relationship had caused some instability within the company. He had devised a plan to address this and needed Jin Yao's cooperation. Soon after, Jin Yao and Xie Fei were seen posing for photos in matching pink outfits.
Leader Wang then arrived, and Xie Fei instructed him to meticulously record everything he was about to say. Xie Fei announced that Jin Yao was the screenwriter behind "You Sound So Sweet" and that her online account was "Shake and shake to Naihe Bridge." He added that she would be responsible for "Lethe's" script and future promotional content.
He then revealed that he, the owner of Pineapple Radio, and Jin Yao had been in a long-term relationship, a statement Jin Yao humorously corrected by saying he had "stalked her for a long time." Finally, Xie Fei confirmed that he was indeed Xie Wuchang and would voice the second male lead in "Lethe."
Xie Fei ordered Leader Wang to publicize this information, explaining that while he had initially wished to keep his identity low-profile, he had to "sacrifice himself for Pineapple" to quell company instability. He explicitly stated that any rumors about Gu Chenyu leaving Pineapple or "Lethe" being canceled were false, instructing Leader Wang to ensure all employees were informed and did not believe such hearsay.
Xiaoning advised Gu Chenyu to speak calmly with his father when he returned home, urging him to avoid any conflict, even if his father remained firm. She assured him that they would find other solutions. Gu Chenyu promised to heed her advice. In return, Gu Chenyu encouraged Xiaoning to focus on her recording session, telling her not to let the recent events affect her and to demonstrate her true strength.
Meanwhile, Gu Xiyuan brought Yanran home, explaining that his mother was concerned because Yanran had been unwell lately. Yanran expressed discomfort about staying, fearing an awkward encounter with Gu Chenyu. However, Gu Xiyuan insisted she remain, arguing that Gu Chenyu, if anyone, should be the one feeling awkward. He reminded Yanran that they were childhood sweethearts who had studied and even started a company together, implying that their current strained relationship was solely due to Xia Xiaoning's appearance.
He believed Yanran and Gu Chenyu needed to clear the air, especially since his brother would be home soon. With that, Gu Xiyuan left, wishing Yanran well. After Xiaoning completed her recording session, Teacher Yang and the other recording teachers praised her significant progress, attributing it partly to Gu Chenyu's guidance and jokingly predicting she would become "Pineapple's big sister." They playfully suggested Gu Chenyu might be taking her home to meet his parents.
Upon returning home, Gu Chenyu was immediately confronted by his father, who demanded to know why he had forced Yanran out, despite her years of support for him. Yanran, who was also present, interjected that she had resigned herself due to a "disagreement of opinions" with Gu Chenyu, not because he forced her. Gu Chenyu's father dismissed this, angrily accusing his son of abandoning all his principles for a woman.
Gu Chenyu requested to speak with his father alone, and Yanran respectfully left. Gu Chenyu then apologized, admitting he had "really done wrong this time" but pleaded that he had his own difficulties. He affirmed his commitment to their family agreement but earnestly requested to be allowed to complete "Lethe," stating he did not wish to let down everyone involved. He also revealed that he had promised Xiaoning not to talk back to his father, leaving his father exasperated.
Later, while Xiaoning was having a meal with colleagues, her colleagues playfully teased her about Gu Chenyu before leaving. Gu Xiyuan then approached her. He sternly warned her to stay away from his brother, accusing her of being "fickle" and having been involved with Xie Fei while dating Gu Chenyu. Xiaoning calmly countered by explaining that Xie Fei had already clarified his relationship status in the news, revealing Jin Yao, her best friend, as his official girlfriend.
Unswayed, Gu Xiyuan blamed Xiaoning for his brother's identity exposure and the subsequent company turmoil. Xiaoning firmly retorted that she was not responsible for the public revelation of Gu Chenyu's identity and suggested Gu Xiyuan direct his accusations towards Yanran instead, implying Yanran might be the truly selfish one. Gu Xiyuan angrily defended Yanran, highlighting her contributions to the company and accusing Xiaoning of forcing her resignation.
Xiaoning coolly replied that she was "not too happy" about it, further exasperating him. She insisted that she and Gu Chenyu loved each other and that external parties were the ones causing trouble, making her the true victim. Frustrated, Gu Xiyuan called his brother, who was already downstairs. As Xiaoning stepped outside, she was met by a hostile group who began throwing objects and verbally assaulting her. They then poured a bucket of paint over her, but Gu Chenyu quickly intervened, shielding her from the attack.
