Episode 23 recap: The Gao Feng assault incident sparked controversy again, and Liang You Guang was suspended from duty.
Zhou Yu and Hu Jing Tian went to the hospital and learned that Shen Liang hadn't been there for a long time. The reason for Shen Liang's absence might be that he didn't participate in the relay race. So Zhou Yu didn't tell the two elderly people the truth. Zhou Yu lied, saying that Shen Liang had good results and was busy with training, and asked the two elderly people to inform him if they had any news about Shen Liang.
After Zhou Yu and Hu Jing Tian left the hospital, Grandma Shen called Shen Liang and told him about Zhou Yu's visit to the hospital. Shen Liang was surprised to learn that Zhou Yu didn't reveal their secret. Zhou Yu and Hu Jing Tian spent the whole day searching for Shen Liang but couldn't find him. Hu Jing Tian couldn't bear his hunger and forced Zhou Yu to eat a bowl of noodles with him. Unexpectedly, they ran into Shen Liang on the street.
When Shen Liang saw Zhou Yu and Hu Jing Tian, he wanted to run away, but Zhou Yu and Hu Jing Tian split up to intercept him and managed to stop him. Zhou Yu asked Shen Liang to clarify the truth about Gao Feng. Shen Liang hesitated, but eventually agreed.
Shen Liang agreed to participate in the press conference. Zhou Yu immediately notified the school and Liang Bing Bing, looking forward to the outcome of the press conference. The next day, the press conference was held as scheduled. Hao Di instructed Gao Feng to stay calm and sincerely apologize to the reporters, not to let the incident escalate further.
Gao Feng responded to the reporters with great sincerity. After much effort, he explained the assault incident and apologized for his actions. However, the reporters were not satisfied with the outcome and demanded that Shen Liang also come forward and clarify the situation. Shen Liang explained that Gao Feng was forced to act to save Gu Li and that Gao Feng was not the one who initiated the violence. However, the reporters claimed that Shen Liang was being threatened, which Liang You Guang couldn't tolerate.
Liang You Guang rushed forward and argued with the reporters, blaming them for spreading false information. However, his impulsive actions made it seem even more likely that Shen Liang was being threatened. As a result, the press conference not only failed to clarify the truth for Gao Feng but also exposed Gao Feng's background.
The situation became complicated for Gu Luo due to the Gao Feng incident, and he was both anxious and angry at Liang You Guang. Liang You Guang, on the other hand, was unaware of his own shortcomings, making it difficult for Hao Di to mediate. Gao Feng didn't want to pay attention to the online public opinion and continued chatting with Gu Li, sharing his thoughts and expressing his desire to focus on swimming and not think about unrelated matters.
Wu Hao went for a follow-up examination, and Dr. Su informed him that his shoulder injury had accumulated fluid and couldn't be cured with traditional Chinese medicine. Surgery was necessary. Wu Hao called his father, who maintained his previous stance, urging him to retire immediately and return home to take over the family business.
Wu Hao didn't want to retire. He didn't want to talk to his father much and went directly to see Dr. Su, hoping to find a solution to protect his shoulder injury and be able to complete the next competition.
Hao Di pleaded with the principal, hoping that Liang You Guang could just reflect on his actions, but the principal refused and suspended Liang You Guang from duty. Gu Luo worried about Liang You Guang and scolded him a few words when he left, but Liang You Guang seemed indifferent and joked with him.
When Liang You Guang left, Liang Bing Bing arrived. Liang You Guang still acted as if everything was fine, not letting Liang Bing Bing and everyone worry about him. Zhou Yu was waiting outside for Liang You Guang and wanted to bid him farewell. Liang You Guang casually told Zhou Yu that even if he's not at the sports school, Zhou Yu must continue training seriously.
After Zhou Yu left, Liang You Guang started to worry. When he didn't have a job before, it took him a long time to find a job as a coach in a small swimming pool. Now, at his age and with so many scandals surrounding him, he realized that finding a good job wouldn't be easy. Liang Bing Bing and Liang's mother went home to see Liang You Guang. Liang You Guang was surprised because it was the first time Liang Bing Bing came back, and he asked her to go upstairs and see her own room.
Liang's mother discussed taking Liang Bing Bing away with Liang You Guang. Liang You Guang admitted that it was his fault in the past, but now he has more time to spend with Liang Bing Bing. However, Liang's mother didn't agree. She said that Liang Bing Bing is her biological child and the one she raised, and she refused to leave Liang Bing Bing with Liang You Guang.
Angrily, Liang You Guang stated that it was Liang's mother who insisted on taking Liang Bing Bing away in the past. He provided Liang Bing Bing with living expenses but was denied the opportunity to see her or even talk to her on the phone. Now, Liang's mother accuses him of not caring about Liang Bing Bing, which he finds unfair.
Liang's mother didn't listen to any of Liang You Guang's explanations and was determined to take Liang Bing Bing away. However, Liang Bing Bing expressed that she didn't want to go abroad and wanted to stay in the country. Only then did Liang's mother not oppose it. After Zhou Yu talked on the phone with Jiang Ying Ying, Gao Feng came to talk with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu accidentally didn't hang up the phone, so Jiang Ying Ying overheard their conversation.
Gao Feng asked Zhou Yu about his feelings, and Zhou Yu made it clear that until he wins the championship, he doesn't want anything, including relationships. This made Jiang Ying Ying, who had been hesitating about going abroad, have some thoughts.
