Episode 15 recap: Luo Qi Qi and Guan He became friends.
Finally, Xu Xiao Bo arrived in Xi'an. He entered a brand new school, looking at unfamiliar faces, feeling happy and hopeful. Xu Xiao Bo didn't forget to bring the little fish he bought with Luo Qi Qi. Whenever he saw the fish, he felt motivated and determined to create a future for himself.
While at the skating rink, Zhang Jun saw Mi Mi's older brother bothering Lin Yue. He stepped in to help Lin Yue and spoke in a confrontational tone. Mi Mi's brother advised Zhang Jun to mind his own business, but Zhang Jun couldn't stand such disgusting behavior and insisted on intervening. Lin Yue saw that Mi Mi's brother and Zhang Jun were about to start a fight, so she quickly pulled Zhang Jun aside. On that day, Zhang Jun's aunt came to visit him and saw that he had made a mess of the house.
She couldn't help but nag at him, and when she found out that Zhang Jun hadn't called his father, she insisted that he make a call. Zhang Jun couldn't argue with his aunt, so he obediently complied. When he heard his father mention his new stepmother and newborn brother, he felt down and ended the call without a good mood. His aunt couldn't stand seeing Zhang Jun like this and immediately started criticizing him. Zhang Jun immediately walked out without looking back.
On the way, he encountered a child who was loved and guided by their father, and he couldn't help but feel envious. Zhang Jun wanted to relax a bit, so he asked Ma Li to drive him around aimlessly and even offered to pay for Ma Li's car to go out and have some fun. However, Ma Li pointed out that he needed to earn some money on the weekend and refused to accompany Zhang Jun. Feeling bored and restless, Zhang Jun ended up going to the movies by himself.
Luo Qiqi noticed that Zhang Jun hadn't been coming to class for the past few days, and she was worried about him. She asked Zhang Jun's classmates for information and learned that Zhang Jun simply didn't want to come to school, and nobody could do anything about it. Luo Qiqi was frustrated because she couldn't improve her English and Chinese scores no matter how hard she studied. She sought advice from her classmate Jingzhi, but Jingzhi didn't perform well either and didn't want to guide Luo Qiqi.
Guan He overheard the conversation between Luo Qiqi and Jingzhi and reached out to offer help. He suggested that Luo Qiqi focus on memorizing vocabulary because if she mastered enough words, her scores would naturally improve. As for Chinese, Guan He believed that with Luo Qiqi's extensive reading, understanding the exam format would make it easier to score higher. Guan He asked for the title of the book Luo Qiqi was currently reading and promptly reserved a copy for her with the registration teacher. When Luo Qiqi looked through the books that Guan He had read, she found her name written on all of them, realizing that Guan He had been following her reading.
After school, Luo Qiqi rode her bicycle and left. Guan He and his classmates noticed someone following Luo Qiqi while they were buying magazines. Despite the danger, Guan He caught up with Luo Qiqi and warned her that someone was following her. Luo Qiqi urged Guan He to leave and not get involved, but Guan He was concerned and continued to follow Luo Qiqi. They took several turns and ended up in a small alley. Luo Qiqi thought she had shaken off the person, but to her surprise, the person confronted her ahead. Luo Qiqi was assaulted by the person, who accused her of damaging Brother Liu's car, but Luo Qiqi denied it. Guan He gathered the courage to prove that Luo Qiqi had been studying with her until late that night, clearing Luo Qiqi's suspicion.
Realizing that she had wrongly accused Luo Qiqi, the person gave Luo Qiqi some event tickets as a way to make amends and asked her to help with promotion. After Luo Qiqi left, she tore the tickets into pieces and threw them in the trash bin, admitting to Guan He that she was the one who damaged the car that day. Guan He invited Luo Qiqi to her house to take care of her wound. When Luo Qiqi arrived at Guan He's house, she was amazed by the clean and tidy bathroom. After Luo Qiqi finished taking a shower, Guan He applied medicine to her wound. Guan He expressed her desire to be friends with Luo Qiqi because she admired Luo Qiqi's authenticity, which made her feel different.
Guan He had always been loved by teachers, parents, and classmates because she fit their expectations. Although Guan He won first place in the speech competition, she realized that she didn't deserve it after reading Luo Qiqi's speech, as Luo Qiqi had written her true thoughts. Luo Qiqi looked at Guan He sincerely and smiled warmly. She liked Guan He's authenticity.
When Zhang Jun went to have fun, Mi Mi and her friends held him down and poured alcohol on his head. Chen Xiaojun happened to witness the scene and apologized to Zhang Jun. Chen Xiaojun learned that Zhang Jun liked listening to Wang Jie's rock music and suggested that he listen to real music. Zhang Jun was touched and called Luo Qiqi later, asking her to listen to that kind of music as well.
Luo Qiqi discovered that Zhang Jun would skip school regardless of his mood and only focused on having fun. She realized that she didn't actually understand Zhang Jun. Ge Xiaofei had been taking a lot of time off lately, and Luo Qiqi couldn't find her. It was then that Luo Qiqi realized that she also didn't really understand Ge Xiaofei. However, she firmly believed that Xu Xiaobo would remember their agreement to study hard together and get into university.
