Just Between Us episode 15 recap and spoilers

Episode 15 recap: Ji Ming gave a self-defense baton as a gift.

Wang Ting Zhi and Gao Lao worked on a new menu, which made Chef Shi very unhappy. He believed that Wang Ting Zhi was just a lecturer and didn't have the authority to make such decisions. However, Luo, the general manager, approved the menu, and felt that Chef Shi was not respecting his decisions and didn't want to keep him. Chef Shi voluntarily resigned and sent his apprentice to participate in the culinary competition.

During the competition, Wang Ting Zhi prepared a home-style dish, abandoning elaborate plating, and it was well-received by everyone. Luo had high expectations for Wang Ting Zhi, regardless of whether he prepared hot or cold dishes, as they were all excellent. When Chef Shi learned that his apprentice made it to the finals, he instructed him to win over Wang Ting Zhi with his skills the next day, so that he could regain his pride.

Late at night, Ji Ming, still wearing sunglasses, mysteriously approached Huang Yi Lin, surprising her. She noticed Ji Ming's swollen and red eyes and couldn't help but ask for the reason. It turned out that Ji Ming secretly entered Wang Ting Zhi and Huang Yi Lin's room that day and saw them sharing a bed. He quickly separated them to prevent any romantic intentions from Wang Ting Zhi, and deliberately sprayed chili water. As a result, he accidentally irritated his own eyes and ended up spilling the chili water on the bed in his panic.

Huang Yi Lin finally learned the source of the chili water bottle. She asked Ji Ming to leave the self-defense baton and sent him back. Unexpectedly, Wang Ting Zhi had overheard Ji Ming's words and knew that he harbored ill intentions towards him. He quickly made an agreement with Huang Yi Lin to sleep on the floor that night.
