Episode 29 recap: The Zhou Yu team entered the finals, and Jiang Ying Ying decided to go abroad for an exchange program.
Wu Hao and Gao Feng analyzed Zhou Yu's training situation together. They both believed that Zhou Yu trained so hard because he wanted to improve his performance and wanted all four of them to enter the national team together. After their conversation, Gao Feng and Wu Hao felt much more relaxed. They wanted to maintain a positive mindset and train to improve their performance with ease.
Gu Luo and Liang You Guang both believed that this competition might be Wu Hao's last chance. They didn't want Wu Hao to miss it, so they went to find Hao Di together to persuade the principal to let Wu Hao participate. Zhou Yu trained extremely hard, and Liang You Guang tried to make him take a break, but Zhou Yu refused. As a result, when he was coming down from the treadmill, he accidentally fell and scraped his hand.
Zhou Yu got injured but still wanted to continue training. Liang You Guang and the others strongly disagreed and forced Zhou Yu to go to the medical room for treatment. The doctor applied medicine to Zhou Yu's hand and advised him not to use it for a few days to prevent infection. However, Zhou Yu was determined not to give up training, so he continued to work on his physical fitness in the gym.
Yu Min Yi, at home, was thinking about her son Zhou Yu. She didn't want Zhou Yu to worry, so she silently bore everything herself and prepared to go to the hospital for chemotherapy the next day. Liang Bing Bing learned about Yu Min Yi's condition and felt that it was a big issue. She wanted to let Zhou Yu know, but she was afraid it would affect him, so she informed Liang You Guang first.
Liang You Guang was also worried about what Liang Bing Bing mentioned, but for the sake of Zhou Yu's competition, he decided to keep it from him. Liang You Guang felt that Zhou Yu was pushing himself too hard and didn't want him to know about Yu Min Yi's condition. He insisted that Zhou Yu and the others stay at school and asked Yu Min Yi to call Zhou Yu to cheer him on.
Yu Min Yi called Zhou Yu, but before she could say much, her body couldn't hold on anymore, so she had to quickly end the call. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu remembered the promise he made in the past. He wanted to achieve the same level of performance as his father, but he hadn't reached that level yet.
Liang Bing Bing discovered that Zhou Yu was secretly training and was worried that his injury would be affected. So she forced Zhou Yu to go to the medical room to change the dressing. Liang Bing Bing kept Yu Min Yi's condition a secret, but Zhou Yu sensed that something was wrong. Unable to hold it in any longer, Liang Bing Bing finally told Zhou Yu the truth.
Gao Feng went home for dinner, and his mother prepared a lot of delicious food for him. He was very happy while eating when Gao Chong called. Gao Chong didn't want his words to affect Gao Feng's mood, so he only called Gao Feng's mother to inquire about his eating and training, asking her to take care of Gao Feng's meals.
Gao Feng received Gao Chong's concern for the first time and felt warm inside. He decided to let go of all the misunderstandings and unhappiness towards Gao Chong. As a result, he enjoyed a peaceful and pleasant dinner at home. Zhou Yu went to the hospital to see Yu Min Yi and confirmed that she was still recovering. He then returned to the team for training, but Gu Luo still refused to let him swim.
Zhou Yu was eager to get in the water for training, so he went to find Liang You Guang. However, Liang You Guang took Zhou Yu fishing and asked him to think about fishing instead. Zhou Yu insisted on training, so Liang You Guang challenged him to fish first. If Zhou Yu caught more fish than him, Liang You Guang would let him participate in the training.
Zhou Yu won the fishing challenge, and only then did Liang You Guang admit that he hadn't stopped Zhou Yu from training. Zhou Yu hurriedly ran back to continue training, leaving Liang You Guang behind. On the eve of the competition, the members of the 628 dormitory gathered on the rooftop to relax and discuss their future direction after the upcoming match.
Gao Feng and Zhou Yu were determined to give their all to make it into the national team. Wu Hao planned to become a coach and train athletes after the competition. Zhou Yu aimed to win the championship and then strive for the Olympic gold. Jiang Ying Ying asked Zhou Yu out to bid him farewell and inform him about the exchange program she was going to participate in abroad, arranged by the institute.
The Public Welfare Cup Championship began, and the upcoming event was the men's 4x100m relay. Hao Di and the others watched the race from the spectator stands and felt that their teammates were in good form, which eased their worries. Zhou Yu swam the first leg and had already overcome his starting problem, giving their team a significant advantage.
Despite Wu Hao's injury, it didn't affect his performance in the second leg; he performed exceptionally well. Hu Jing Tian and Gao Feng, swimming the third and fourth legs, also did a good job, securing a second-place finish in their group. After the race, Gu Luo and Liang You Guang cheered for Zhou Yu and the team, informing them that they had performed well and achieved a third-place result in the finals group. Although the first and second teams had a significant advantage, their performance was commendable, and they shouldn't lose confidence in themselves.
Liang You Guang couldn't guess Liu Hai Bo's lineup arrangement, while Wang Ji Fei believed that Liang You Guang would place Zhou Yu in the anchor leg, so he requested Liu Hai Bo to assign him to the anchor leg.
Gu Luo wanted Wu Hao to swim the first leg, Gao Feng the second leg, and Zhou Yu to remain in the anchor leg. However, Liang You Guang was concerned about Zhou Yu's state and worried that Zhou Yu might feel pressured against Wang Ji Fei. Therefore, he hesitated in making a decision.
