Episode 8 recap: Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu's Reunion.
After Sang Zhi went upstairs, her parents removed their disguises and carefully observed her reaction. Sang Yan told them that Sang Zhi already knew she was wrong, and had come back crying all the way, asking them not to criticize Sang Zhi anymore. They decided to act as if nothing had happened, only that Sang Zhi's ID card had to be kept away to prevent such an incident from happening again.
Sang Zhi put all the things related to Duan Jia Xu in a box. The star-decorated note still had her goal of getting into Yihe University written on it. Sang Zhi quietly opened it and crossed out the wish, then sat alone for a long time, hugging the box, realizing she really had to say goodbye to Duan Jia Xu.
Soon, Sang Zhi was admitted to Yihe University as she wished. She had a busy life with military training, classes, and made a group of lovely roommates - the video enthusiast Ning Wei, the cool girl Yu Xin, and the energetic Wangwang. They accidentally met Wangming, a PE college student, and the lively Ning Wei added him on WeChat, saying she would gather his classmates to hang out.
Today was Ning Wei's birthday, and they were celebrating happily at the KTV. Amidst the crowd, Sang Zhi didn't see Duan Jia Xu as she walked into the room. Duan Jia Xu's hairline looked great at the company, and someone had even arranged a blind date for him, bringing a pretty girl named Xiao Xu.
The atmosphere around Sang Zhi's group was relaxed, and someone even came to chat with Sang Zhi, though she was not quite comfortable with it. During a breather outside, she encountered Duan Jia Xu sitting on the stairs. Duan Jia Xu immediately criticized her for smoking, as Sang Zhi had accidentally worn a friend's jacket with a cigarette.
Sang Zhi had not come to see him during the National Day holiday after her military training ended. Duan Jia Xu was a bit unhappy, scolding her as a "wolf in sheep's clothing." He couldn't understand why Sang Zhi hadn't replied to his many messages all this time. Sang Zhi insisted on correcting Duan Jia Xu's address for her, saying she was no longer a child.
Sang Zhi Refuses Duan Jia Xu's Offer to Take Her Home, Returning to Celebrate Ning Wei's Birthday
Sang Zhi refused Duan Jia Xu's offer to take her home, going back to the KTV room to continue celebrating Ning Wei's birthday. Sang Zhi's mother was about to call her as usual, so Sang Zhi told her friends she was leaving. She had been mentally preparing herself, telling herself that she had grown up and was no longer a child, even cursing Duan Jia Xu as an "old thing."
To her surprise, Duan Jia Xu was waiting at the door. Hearing those three words made him even more unhappy, but he still decided to take her back to school. In the car, the atmosphere was very awkward. Duan Jia Xu wanted to communicate with her seriously, asking why she had issues with him. But Sang Zhi still avoided answering, strongly rejecting the "child" title, insisting that she had grown up.
Sang Zhi was still curious about Duan Jia Xu's current situation, hearing that he was now working in the gaming industry. Duan Jia Xu thought Sang Zhi chose Yihe University because of that old online friend, but Sang Zhi quickly explained that they had lost contact. Sang Yan also believed this, still quite angry about that incident.
Duan Jia Xu sent Sang Zhi back to school and even gave her some honey to drink, saying it would prevent a headache the next morning. He was happy to hear from Sang Yan that Sang Zhi would be studying at the university near him.
Hearing Duan Jia Xu's words, Sang Zhi felt a bittersweet sweetness. She couldn't help but be more curious - wasn't his home in Yihe? And he even had a girlfriend now. Sang Zhi unexpectedly replied to one of Duan Jia Xu's messages that day. The next morning, Sang Zhi was busy explaining to Sang Yan that she didn't drink, and Jiang Ming also messaged, offering to accompany her if she came back that late, but Sang Zhi only replied to Duan Jia Xu.
Sang Zhi told her roommates that she had a friend who liked her brother's friend, and she was conflicted about whether that friend still saw her as a sister. Her roommates, of course, understood that the friend was Sang Zhi herself, and didn't expose it.
