Episode 9 recap: Qin Chuanhe changed the ticket for the photography exhibition.
Ye Fan stood hesitating at the classroom door, holding two tickets for the photography exhibition. He walked in and placed them inside Tao Tao's book. Qin Chuanhe happened to witness this scene. He followed behind Ye Fan and quietly switched the tickets when Ye Fan left the classroom. Nan Feng, who saw everything, noticed it.
Ye Fan still couldn't get through to Tao Tao's phone, and he couldn't understand why. On Tao Tao's side, it was already the 19th, and if he couldn't explain by phone, it would be too late. On the other hand, Tao Tao had indeed waited for Ye Fan at the station for a whole day, and unfortunately, it started raining, leaving Tao Tao completely drenched.
As Tao Tao walked home, she thought about what she heard from Nan Feng. On the 19th, Ye Fan had just returned from training, and they were supposed to study together. Tao Tao also remembered what Qin Chuanhe said about their families having a good relationship, which made her even more upset. Just then, Qin Chuanhe timely appeared with an umbrella by Tao Tao's side. Tao Tao turned her head, thinking it was Ye Fan, but soon realized it wasn't, and felt deeply disappointed.
Tao Tao and Qin Chuanhe happened to see Ye Fan and Nan Feng studying together. Tao Tao watched from outside for a long time and was about to leave when she received a call from Ye Fan. On the phone, the Ye Fan from 2022 told her that the ticket he gave her was for the 20th, not the 19th, and someone had switched their tickets. Tao Tao believed what he said, and Qin Chuanhe, upon knowing this, left reluctantly. Ye Fan told Tao Tao that if she didn't believe him, she could go to the nearby Time Cafe, where everything would be revealed. Tao Tao happened to be outside the cafe. She walked over, and when Ye Fan saw her, he quickly came out and showed concern for her.
Dramas of this genre usually don't involve only the male protagonist time-traveling; instead, it is common for both the male and female leads to travel through time to seek redemption. For instance, the female lead may also make a phone call to the present-time female lead from a future point in time. This explains why the female lead's attitude suddenly changes towards the male lead and why she ends up being with someone else. Currently, the story is presented from the male lead's perspective, but later on, there will be scenes from the female lead's perspective as well.
