What Happened in Episodes 12 and 13: Story Recap
The story reached a critical emotional point in the last two episodes. In Episode 12, Nie Xiguang and her long-time crush, Zhuang Xu, had a painful conversation. Zhuang Xu, played by Lai Weiming, confronted Xiguang about moving on, accusing her of breaking a promise to wait for him. Xiguang explained that he never returned her feelings and often made her feel bad about herself. This honest talk left both characters heartbroken.
After this difficult encounter, Lin Yusen comforted Xiguang. He then told her directly, “I like you”. Xiguang was honest in return, stating she needed more time because her feelings for Zhuang Xu were not completely gone.
Episode 13 showed Xiguang trying to return to normal life. She spent time with her grandparents and went back to work. However, after Lin Yusen’s confession, she began to act distant and ignored him at the office. Sensing her discomfort, Yusen walked her to a meeting and apologized. He asked her to forget his confession and to stop ignoring him at work. By the end of the episode, the work team was involved in a lighthearted competition about going to the cafeteria, with Xiguang and Yusen playfully on opposite sides.
What to Expect in Episodes 14 and 15: A Closer Connection
The new episodes focus on the evolving relationship between Nie Xiguang and Lin Yusen. The story shows them going on a two-day immersive tour together, a trip that Xiguang invited Yusen to join.
This shared experience away from their everyday environment is a key moment. Xiguang is no longer ignoring Yusen, and it seems she is now open to understanding his feelings for her. The tour will give them a chance to interact more personally, likely strengthening their bond and improving their dynamics. For fans of the lead actors, these episodes promise more screen time for the pairing of Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai, whose chemistry has been a major highlight of the series.
