Episode 21 recap: Luo Qi Qi once again steered Zhang Jun back on track.
Luo Qi Qi dreamed that she found Ge Xiao Fei. It was raining that day, and Ge Xiao Fei was unhappy because Luo Qi Qi arrived late. Luo Qi Qi quickly apologized, but Ge Xiao Fei ignored her. As Luo Qi Qi, holding an umbrella, was about to leave, Ge Xiao Fei finally grabbed her. They walked back together under the umbrella in the rain, having endless conversations along the way.
Luo Qi Qi woke up from her dream and realized that she had been studying so hard that she fell asleep on the table. Xu Xiao Bo advised Luo Qi Qi not to overwork herself and to take moderate breaks. They ate and chatted together, discussing the advancements of the internet and computers, which allowed people to communicate with others around the world and watch sports games.
Luo Qi Qi didn't know what she could hold in her hands, as recent experiences had taught her that the world and people were constantly changing. This made Luo Qi Qi feel insecure. Xu Xiao Bo pointed her in a direction, emphasizing that she could take control of her own learning.
Luo Qi Qi's eyes lit up, and she felt that Xu Xiao Bo was right. It wasn't just about learning; she could also have a say in her own life. Knowing that Luo Qi Qi struggled with English, Xu Xiao Bo found a good way for her to learn it, which was to watch English videos with subtitles.
As Luo Qi Qi watched and understood, she suddenly remembered the novels she used to read when she was younger and asked Xu Xiao Bo if he remembered them. Xu Xiao Bo playfully teased Luo Qi Qi, pretending that he had never rented such books for her, which led to Luo Qi Qi playfully confronting him, and they laughed together.
There was someone causing trouble by the waterside, so Xu Xiao Bo quickly went out to handle it. He saw Mi Mi, who had a habit of causing trouble, deliberately setting off firecrackers at the entrance by the water. Mi Mi also spoke disrespectfully. Li Jiajie impulsively wanted to fight back, but Xu Xiao Bo stopped him and went to negotiate himself. He wanted to know if this was Chen Xiaojun's idea or if Mi Mi did it on her own.
Mi Mi claimed that setting off fireworks was a way to have fun. Xu Xiao Bo immediately said that he would prepare a gift to have fun as well. Seeing that Zhang Jun was with Mi Mi, Xu Xiao Bo asked Zhang Jun why he was there, but Zhang Jun didn't say a word and simply rode away on his motorcycle.
In the evening, Luo Qi Qi waited for Zhang Jun on his usual route and questioned him about why he was with troublemakers. Zhang Jun casually replied that he was bored and willing. When Luo Qi Qi mentioned that troublemakers weren't good people, she got angry and sarcastically asked if Xu Xiao Bo was a good person.
Luo Qi Qi didn't expect Zhang Jun to say such things. She got angry and hit Zhang Jun with her backpack before angrily riding away on her bike. In reality, Zhang Jun felt frustrated being with troublemakers. On that day, he had just delivered drinks to a private room when Mi Mi demanded his service. Feeling irritated, he intentionally poured the drinks until they overflowed. Mi Mi didn't like that and brought people to confront Zhang Jun. Just at that moment, Luo Qi Qi, after going through a series of inner struggles, entered the scene and immediately protected Zhang Jun.
Mi Mi mocked Zhang Jun for hiding behind women, and Luo Qi Qi, concerned that Zhang Jun would be at a disadvantage, pulled him away quickly. However, Zhang Jun criticized her for interfering, leaving Luo Qi Qi feeling wronged. She angrily rode off on her bike. Luo Qi Qi wanted to rank first in her grade. She asked her father for twenty yuan to buy study materials, but he refused. On the contrary, her mother, Xu Hui Zhong, gave her the money and assured her that she would find a way to earn it as long as it was for studying.
At the bookstore, Luo Qi Qi met Guan He and, following his recommendation, bought a lot of study materials. She believed that she could become the top student in her grade. However, Luo Yuan Yuan, who saw Luo Qi Qi studying diligently, couldn't accept it. She intentionally tore up Luo Qi Qi's materials and falsely accused her of hitting her in front of their father.
Seeing her father's favoritism and her sister's false accusations, Luo Qi Qi made a vow to herself that she would definitely rank first in her grade. Xu Hui Zhong felt remorseful for neglecting her children in the past and apologized to Luo Qi Qi. However, Jun Hong did not have such a realization. The factory had been performing poorly in recent years, so Xu Hui Zhong took preemptive measures to secure their employment by seeking connections. But Jun Hong didn't take it seriously and even mocked Xu Hui Zhong, Luo Qi Qi, and their deceased biological father, saying they all had stubborn temperaments.
Luo Yuan Yuan used the excuse of studying at a classmate's house to stay out late, but in reality, she watched television. Jun Hong warned Luo Yuan Yuan that if she couldn't get into high school, she would have to replace Luo Qi Qi and work in the factory. Luo Qi Qi realized that Zhang Jun had deviated from the right path and also learned that he lacked parental guidance and had a difficult life. She took the initiative to find Zhang Jun and encouraged him to study together, once again pulling him back on track.
