You Are So Sweet Episode 22 Recap
> You Are So Sweet Recap
Xia Xiaoning and Jin Yao discussed the recent paint attack, with Jin Yao expressing her shock but confirming Xia Xiaoning was unharmed. Xia Xiaoning downplayed the incident, noting her experience with such situations as a fan of Mobuyu, and mentioned Gu Xiyuan was quite scared. When Xie Fei arrived looking for Jin Yao, Xia Xiaoning quickly excused herself, claiming she had other matters to attend to, while Jin Yao pretended to be absorbed in her script, ignoring Xie Fei.
Xie Fei then approached Jin Yao, revealing that netizens had created a CP name for them, the "Naihe Bridge Combination," based on her social media account "Shao Ah Shao to Naihe Bridge" and his "Xie Wuchang." Jin Yao rejected the idea, expressing discomfort with his suggestive remarks about them being an "open couple" for the sake of realism, despite their "acting" as a couple.
Xie Fei then solemnly apologized for his past behavior and misunderstandings, declaring his intention to be her "personal secretary" and admitting his prior belief in a "goddess of destiny" was unreliable, as it almost led to him losing her. However, Jin Yao coolly responded that she found the concept of "Destiny" quite reliable, as she had now found her own "Destiny."
Gu Xiyuan approached Xia Xiaoning, offering to stop hating her if she would leave his brother, Gu Chenyu, especially after she shielded him during the paint attack. Xia Xiaoning rejected the offer, finding the "deal" unfavorable. When Gu Xiyuan pressed her on when she would leave Gu Chenyu, she retorted by asking when he would accept her, both firmly stating "never." Gu Chenyu, observing their standoff, playfully suggested they fight.
Gu Xiyuan, a self-proclaimed gentleman who doesn't hit women, instead proposed a bet on a game. The stakes were high: if Xia Xiaoning lost, she had to leave Gu Chenyu; if she won, Gu Xiyuan had to agree to one of her conditions. After Gu Chenyu declared Xia Xiaoning the winner, Gu Xiyuan protested, accusing them of ganging up on him. Gu Chenyu, acting as a witness, insisted Gu Xiyuan honor the bet.
Under Gu Chenyu's insistence, Gu Xiyuan grudgingly addressed Xia Xiaoning as "Sister Xiaoning." As Xia Xiaoning left, Gu Chenyu offered her a ride home, which she declined. Xia Xiaoning then jokingly asked if he orchestrated the bet just to make Gu Xiyuan call her "sister," to which Gu Chenyu implied it was a natural progression. He then playfully suggested they play another game, but Xia Xiaoning declined, citing script work.
Later, Gu Xiyuan recounted his encounter with Xia Xiaoning to Yanran, expressing his surprise that Xia Xiaoning, who had protected him during the fan attack, didn't seem like the type to bully others. Yanran admitted she once shared that impression, having recruited Xia Xiaoning into the company because she seemed innocent. While Xia Xiaoning was asleep, Gu Chenyu was engaged in researching a game.
At this time, Xie Fei, sounding heartbroken and implying he was on the brink, called him, claiming he was dumped and requesting a hug. Gu Chenyu rushed to Xie Fei's side, only to discover Xie Fei was faking his drunken despair. Gu Chenyu playfully recorded Xie Fei's dramatic antics, mocking his previous boasts about being "the most handsome in the universe" and a "love machine." Xie Fei confessed Jin Yao didn't like him because she had found her "Destiny."
Gu Chenyu then encouraged Xie Fei to fight for Jin Yao and win her back. The next morning, as they prepared for work, Gu Chenyu received an urgent call from his mother, informing him that Yanran had been taken to the Public Security Bureau. At her office, Xie Fei approached Jin Yao, who was intensely focused on her computer.
Xie Fei speculated if she was chatting with her "Destiny," then began to lecture her about the unreliability of such a concept, based on his "personal experience." Jin Yao, however, cut him off, urging him to be more mature. She revealed her overwhelming workload: correcting public opinion about Xia Xiaoning being "unworthy of Mobuyu," managing the script for "Wang Chuan," and maintaining their fake relationship.
She expressed disbelief that he had time for such "boring" topics amidst her busy schedule, in which she didn't even have time to drink water. Xie Fei, relieved by her apparent dismissal of "Destiny" as a trivial topic, then left her to her work. Meanwhile, Xia Xiaoning and Gu Chenyu arrived at the Public Security Bureau. There, Tang Xue informed Xia Xiaoning that she had reported Qin Tian, the paparazzi, who had been relentlessly harassing her and ruining her contracts.
Tang Xue revealed that Qin Tian confessed he was hired by Mr. Hao to stalk, secretly photograph Xia Xiaoning and Gu Chenyu, and spread defamatory rumors online, thus solidifying charges of privacy infringement. Gu Chenyu confronted Yanran, who was also present, reminding her of his previous warnings to stay away from harmful individuals like Qin Tian. He urged her to learn from the incident and let the matter go, revealing his disappointment in her actions.
Later, Yanran went to Gu Chenyu's parents to apologize, but Gu Chenyu's mother stated that their apology was misplaced, implying she should apologize to others, not them. Xie Fei, steeling himself, practiced various confident and commanding declarations of love, like "Woman, I order you to accept my love, I want the world to know, you are mine." He then approached Jin Yao, delivering a similarly bold confession.
Though Jin Yao initially dismissed him coolly, claiming he was "too confused to understand romance," she secretly smiled as he retreated. At Gu Chenyu's home, Xia Xiaoning received a frantic call from her mother, who was already at their door and demanding to be let in. As Gu Chenyu opened the door, Xia Xiaoning's mother was visibly surprised to see them emerge together.
She quickly addressed Xia Xiaoning about the recent fake news, relieved that Gu Chenyu had clarified the situation. Xia Xiaoning explained she hadn't told her mother to avoid causing worry, to which her mother retorted that her silence only increased her anxiety. Xia Xiaoning's mother then expressed her deep affection for Gu Chenyu, revealing that Xia Xiaoning had his photos covering her wall, though she found it peculiar that all the photos featured him wearing a hat and mask.
Gu Chenyu clarified that Xia Xiaoning's admiration was for his idol persona, Mobuyu, and that he was the one pursuing her. Xia Xiaoning's mother then probed about their living arrangements, jokingly asking if they were cohabiting. Though Xia Xiaoning denied it, her mother insisted on going to see Jin Yao. At this crucial moment, Xia Xiaoning received a text from Jin Yao, warning her not to return home that night because Xie Fei was proposing.
To prevent her mother from discovering the surprise, Xia Xiaoning frantically invented an excuse about a burst pipe at their house. Gu Chenyu quickly chimed in, offering to go check it himself and claiming he and Xia Xiaoning were living together to divert her mother's attention from visiting Jin Yao. After diverting her mother, Gu Chenyu drove Xia Xiaoning home. She thanked him for the ride and reminded him to drive safely.
Meanwhile, Jin Yao returned home to find a large heart made of flower petals in the middle of the road. Xie Fei appeared, dancing towards her, and began his proposal, echoing the "pineapple" joke from earlier, asking if she would "party with him till dawn." Tears welled up in Jin Yao's eyes as Xie Fei retrieved a ring from the pineapple. They embraced and shared a kiss.
Back at Jin Yao's home, Xie Fei feigned dizziness and weakness from the kiss, attributing it to "brain hypoxia" and insisted on staying the night, claiming it would conserve precious medical resources by not bothering hospitals. Jin Yao, seeing through his act, was playfully exasperated as he dramatically claimed she needed to take responsibility for making his brain "hypoxic."
