Episode 27 recap: Zhou Yu returned to the provincial team to investigate the truth of the video with Wu Hao and others.
After Gao Feng's news spread, Wu Hao and Hu Jing Tian in Beijing also became aware of it. Wu Hao was most worried about the four of them falling apart, so this championship was very important to him. Despite the risk of worsening his injury, Wu Hao insisted on participating in the competition and requested conservative treatment from the doctor.
The doctor reminded Wu Hao that even if he reduces the intensity of his training and undergoes long-duration treatment immediately after each training session, it does not guarantee that his injury will not worsen. There is a higher possibility of shoulder ligament tear. However, Wu Hao was adamant about not changing his mind. Wu Hao reached an agreement with the doctor and insisted on participating in the competition. He wanted to ask for Gao Chong's opinion, so he called Gao Chong and asked to meet him.
Liang You Guang and his wife went to watch Liang Bing Bing's equestrian training and discussed Yu Min Yi's illness. They decided to go to the hospital together. When Liang's mother talked about the past events with Yu Min Yi, she accidentally mentioned Zhou Yu's father sacrificing himself to save Liang Bing Bing, which Zhou Yu happened to overhear.
Upon learning the truth, Zhou Yu ran out in distress, wanting some time alone. Liang Bing Bing tried to stop Zhou Yu from leaving, and Liang You Guang and others realized that Zhou Yu had heard everything, so they had to tell Zhou Yu the truth. Liang Bing Bing, who was unaware of the events from the past, was also shocked to learn the truth, but there was nothing she could do except apologize to Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu was upset, Liang You Guang told him about what happened in the past, letting Zhou Yu know that his father died from exhaustion while trying to save a student who had fallen into the lake.
Liang You Guang explained that his efforts to cultivate Zhou Yu were not to repay the debt of Zhou Yu's father rescuing Liang Bing Bing, but because he believed Zhou Yu had great potential in swimming. He wanted to fulfill Zhou Yu's father's wish and make Zhou Yu a swimming champion.
Knowing the truth, Zhou Yu recalled how everyone around him used to tell him that his father was a hero when he was a child. At that time, he felt sad and only wanted his father to come back, not to be a hero. But now he understood the words his father taught him when he was young, that learning to swim was to save more people, and his father truly accomplished that.
Gao Chong went to the hospital to see Wu Hao, who expressed his true thoughts to Gao Chong. Although Gao Chong was concerned about Wu Hao's shoulder injury, he could only offer his support because Wu Hao was determined. Hu Jing Tian saw Gao Chong's serious expression as he left and worried that Wu Hao might not be able to return to the provincial team. When he learned that Wu Hao was going back, he happily returned to the provincial team.
Yu Min Yi was discharged from the hospital and made a recovery. Gao Feng and Hu Jing Tian collaborated to celebrate Yu Min Yi's discharge with a cake. Zhou Yu also returned to the provincial team to report in.
When Zhou Yu returned, Gu Luo suggested that everyone spend ten minutes reminiscing with Zhou Yu. However, Gao Feng was still unhappy due to the public opinion surrounding him, so he didn't join in the conversation.
Wu Hao called Gao Feng to assure him that he would help resolve the issue. Gu Li also arranged an opportunity for Gao Feng to visit training sessions for disabled swimmers, hoping to uplift his spirits. Gao Feng had a conversation with the coach of the disabled swimmers and felt much better. Although he wasn't fully prepared, he had made a promise to Zhou Yu and was determined to inform him as soon as he was ready.
Gu Luo was angry because Liang You Guang hadn't returned yet, so he went to talk to the principal and Hao Di, urging them to bring Liang You Guang back quickly. Hu Jing Guang went to Gu Luo to sign a leave slip and accidentally overheard Gu Luo on the phone discussing Gao Feng and going abroad. Thinking that Gao Feng was planning to leave the country, he immediately called Zhou Yu and asked him to persuade Gao Feng.
Zhou Yu recalled the times when Gao Feng expressed his desire to quit swimming and genuinely believed that Gao Feng was giving up. He rushed to stop Gao Feng from going abroad. Coincidentally, Gao Feng was pushing a suitcase out as Zhou Yu bumped into him.
Thinking that Gao Feng was giving up, Zhou Yu didn't wait for Gao Feng to speak and tried to pull him away. In the process, he accidentally knocked over the suitcase, only to realize that it wasn't Gao Feng's. When Zhou Yu realized the misunderstanding, Gao Feng explained to him that he wouldn't give up swimming and that he wouldn't pay attention to the hateful comments anymore. Zhou Yu felt relieved.
The four boys from the 628 dormitory decided to work together to collect evidence to clear Gao Feng's name. Their first task was to find the person who maliciously edited the video. Wu Hao sought help to trace the address of the malicious video online, and Gao Feng went there to find evidence. Following the address provided by Wu Hao, Gao Feng found a photography studio. Zhou Yu kept the owner busy by having him take photos while Hu Jing Tian kept watch, allowing Gao Feng to search the computer for evidence.
After Zhou Yu finished his photoshoot, he asked Hu Jing Tian to continue taking more pictures to buy them some time to search for the video.
