Episode 17 recap: Duan Jia Xu and Sang Zhi were together.
Sang Zhi was resting her head on the desk, and when Duan Jia Xu saw this, he couldn't resist coming closer and poking her face. The just-awoken Sang Zhi quickly sat up, her ears reddening as she accused him. Duan Jia Xu deliberately asked her what he had just been doing, and Sang Zhi turned her head and kissed him on the cheek, not forgetting to say that this didn't mean she had any feelings for Duan Jia Xu - she hadn't agreed to anything.
Sang Zhi almost let Duan Jia Xu's playful banter brainwash her, and she had wanted to chase him out, but he stubbornly stayed. After class, Duan Jia Xu accompanied Sang Zhi on a walk around the university, and coincidentally their roommate was watching a ball game nearby, so the two of them joined in.
Jiang Ming sprained his foot playing, and Wangwang became very concerned and went to check on him. Because of Jiang Ming's injury, Duan Jia Xu was temporarily called in to substitute, and to everyone's surprise, Duan Jia Xu's skill was quite impressive, quickly capturing the affection of many of the girls present.
While everyone else was either traveling or interning over the break, Sang Zhi suddenly didn't know what to do, so she messaged Sang Yan saying she didn't want to go home for the summer and wanted to find an internship to enrich her college life, asking Sang Yan to talk to her mom about it, and in return she would help Sang Yan with the pressure to get married.
But Sang Yan firmly refused, fearing that Sang Zhi wanted to stay there to have a romance. He directly ordered her to come home for the summer. Wangwang went to deliver ointment for Jiang Ming's sprain, and the roommate finally realized her feelings for Jiang Ming.
After getting off work, Duan Jia Xu messaged Sang Zhi, and to his surprise, Sang Zhi appeared next to him the very next moment, holding gifts and balloons to celebrate his birthday. Realizing that Sang Yan and the others hadn't wished Duan Jia Xu a happy birthday, Sang Zhi quickly messaged Sang Yan.
Soon, Sang Yan called to wish Duan Jia Xu a happy birthday, and also asked about Sang Zhi's boyfriend. Sang Zhi couldn't help but speak up, making Sang Yan even more suspicious. Sang Zhi could only hurriedly hang up the phone. Duan Jia Xu then started picking at her, asking if she really had no feelings for him.
Sang Zhi answered a bit shyly that she had a little bit of feelings, and Duan Jia Xu didn't have much reaction either, nor was he angry that she didn't agree. At most, he would just coax her - his own little girl should also have what others have. Sang Zhi arranged a restaurant for Duan Jia Xu, a very mysterious grand meal, and didn't even let Duan Jia Xu accompany her.
Sang Zhi took over the entire restaurant, then went to the kitchen to make longevity noodles, of course with some clumsiness, and even chased Duan Jia Xu out when he came to take a look. Sang Zhi only dared to let Duan Jia Xu take a photo of the noodles she made, but Duan Jia Xu still ate them heartily.
Duan Jia Xu closed his eyes and made a birthday wish, and Sang Zhi knew what it was. Sang Zhi said his wish was easy to fulfill, because she had already agreed, and she hoped she could be by his side for all his future birthdays. Duan Jia Xu didn't expect her to agree so quickly, and quickly got up and kissed Sang Zhi, an inexperienced kiss.
Sang Zhi felt today was special, because this was the first birthday she celebrated with Duan Jia Xu, and also their first day together, and she would keep accompanying him from now on. Duan Jia Xu told Sang Zhi about his family's situation, which he had never mentioned before - his mother had passed away due to illness, and his father was in a vegetative state after accidentally killing someone, though he had already paid the compensation.
Hearing this, Sang Zhi was filled with worry. Sang Zhi was going to the library to study today, but Duan Jia Xu took her to his own home to study, and also cooked a meal for her.
