Episode 25 recap: Guan He and Luo Qi Qi have completely fallen out.
Guan He suddenly returned to her original seat, which seemed very strange to Luo Qi Qi. Guan He reluctantly explained that it didn't matter where she sat and that she wanted to go back to her original seat to discuss studying with her former desk mate. Luo Qi Qi felt a bit disappointed, but she didn't take it too personally. However, she noticed that Guan He was intentionally avoiding her. Whenever she was around, Guan He would find an excuse to leave, which made Luo Qi Qi very sad.
One day, while passing by a bookstore, Luo Qi Qi remembered that Guan He had recommended study books to her. She didn't want to give up on their friendship, so she purposely waited for Guan He on the roadside. She saw Guan He laughing and talking with a few other classmates, planning to go home together to watch an American movie in its original language, but they didn't want to include Luo Qi Qi.
Luo Qi Qi tactfully found an excuse to stay behind, secretly desiring a reason not to be friends. So, she called Guan He and asked her to meet up. Guan He didn't like Luo Qi Qi's probing questions. She gave an example of how when someone doesn't want to play anymore, they just don't play without asking for a reason. She didn't want to ruin what they both knew deep down.
Luo Qi Qi reminisced about how Guan He had actively sought her out to be friends and the wonderful times they had spent together. She couldn't accept that it would end so abruptly. She still wanted a reason. Guan He said she disliked Luo Qi Qi and the more she got to know her, the more she disliked her. Luo Qi Qi's eyes turned red. She had already sensed that Guan He had changed since she became the top student in their class. Luo Qi Qi bluntly stated that Guan He's poor grades were not her fault. This hit a nerve with Guan He, who mocked Luo Qi Qi, saying that was the reason why she found her annoying.
Luo Qi Qi no longer yielded to Guan He. She set a goal for herself to not only achieve first place now but also to be the top student in the entire grade next time. She was determined to outperform Guan He. Guan He was infuriated, but the truth was that her grades were currently not as good as Luo Qi Qi's. When she returned home, she cried in secret and decided to surpass Luo Qi Qi. She proactively asked her mother to find her a tutor, which made her mother very happy, and she quickly made arrangements.
One day, Shen Yuan Zhe failed to win the position of the student council president by using unfair means. He was mocked by his classmates, but Luo Qi Qi didn't join in and instead helped him tidy up his books. Shen Yuan Zhe was grateful for her kindness. He knew that Luo Qi Qi was making rapid progress and shamelessly approached her to ask for guidance.
Luo Qi Qi found a time to explain problems to Shen Yuan Zhe in the library, and Zhang Jun happened to see them. He felt displeased that Luo Qi Qi was tutoring Shen Yuan Zhe instead of him and showed his dissatisfaction on the spot.
Luo Qi Qi was a bit worried that Zhang Jun, with his temper, would simply leave. However, unexpectedly, Zhang Jun was waiting downstairs for her and asked her for help with his studies.
Luo Qi Qi noticed that Zhang Jun was not good at English, so she spoke up and shared her study methods with him. However, this made Zhang Jun feel uncomfortable. He thought that Luo Qi Qi only cared about studying and couldn't help but become anxious.
Luo Qi Qi felt that her good intentions were being taken for granted. She once again had a falling out with Zhang Jun, and her mood was affected. Even when she was studying, she would unconsciously write "longbow" repeatedly on paper. She knew that she was thinking about Zhang Jun but forcibly stopped herself from reaching out to him with rationality.
Luo Qi Qi felt sad because of the changes in Guan He and Zhang Jun. She couldn't help but hide and cry alone outside before returning home. Luo Qi Qi started studying alone, and when Shen Yuan Zhe learned that watching movies in the original English version was helpful for learning English, he invited Luo Qi Qi to go together. While watching the movie, Luo Qi Qi thought about her current situation and quietly shed tears.
Zhang Jun also came to the theater and saw Luo Qi Qi and Shen Yuan Zhe walking out together. He immediately rushed forward and started a fight with Shen Yuan Zhe. Shen Yuan Zhe wondered why Zhang Jun was attacking him since he had never offended him before. Luo Qi Qi understood in her heart that Zhang Jun did this because of her involvement but didn't know what to do.
Xu Xiao Bo noticed that Luo Qi Qi was not in a good state recently, so he bought two popsicles and invited Luo Qi Qi to take a breather on the balcony. Luo Qi Qi talked about the recent changes in Guan He and Zhang Jun, which were caused by her own changes. She wanted to go back to the way things were to keep them close.
Xu Xiao Bo comforted Luo Qi Qi and told her that it wasn't her fault. He suggested that Luo Qi Qi cut off contact with Zhang Jun, but Luo Qi Qi didn't like others meddling in her life. She decided to follow her own heart and went to find Zhang Jun. She discovered that Zhang Jun was sick and couldn't help but feel extremely worried.
Zhang Jun was overjoyed by Luo Qi Qi's visit. He felt that his illness was already healing without medication. But Luo Qi Qi was still concerned, so she went to buy him a water bottle and medicine.
