Episode 35 recap: Zhou Xiaofeng tried to persuade Jiang Yining.
Cheng Qi came and wanted to see the black stone but was unwilling to let him in. Jiang Yining's father went in to inquire, and Jiang Yining eventually allowed Cheng Qi to enter. Cheng Qi apologized to Jiang Yining, feeling that she wasn't worth saving. However, Jiang Yining believed that as long as they were all alive, it was good enough and asked Cheng Qi to persevere a little longer if he ever thought of giving up.
Cheng Qi talked about what happened before. After his business failed, he turned to drug addiction and later contracted AIDS after leaving the rehabilitation center. Cheng Qi's parents also despised him and wished for his death. He attempted suicide but ended up involving others. Cheng Qi bowed to Jiang Yining in gratitude.
Zhou Xiaofeng came to see Fang Xiaoran, and Fang Xiaoran asked about Jiang Yining. Zhou Xiaofeng thought that Jiang Yining appeared strong during the day but often had nightmares and palpitations at night. She believed that Jiang Yining kept everything inside and worried that these suppressed emotions would hinder her recovery.
Fang Xiaoran felt that Jiang Yining resembled Zhou Xiaofeng. It seemed that Zhou Xiaofeng had been through a similar experience. Lin Yi sent a message to Fang Xiaoran, asking what she wanted to eat.
Zhou Xiaofeng was happy to see Fang Xiaoran in good spirits. Jiang Yining underwent rehabilitation training, and the doctor noticed that while others would scream in pain, Jiang Yining remained silent. Zhou Xiaofeng came to see Jiang Yining and expressed her thoughts. She realized that Jiang Yining had always lived up to others' expectations, sacrificing herself and not expressing her pain.
Zhou Xiaofeng pressed Jiang Yining for her true thoughts, and Jiang Yining burst into tears, confessing that recently, every night she felt like she was falling and was genuinely scared. However, she didn't believe she had done anything wrong. Zhou Xiaofeng visited Jiang Yining at night, and Jiang Yining pretended to be asleep. Zhou Xiaofeng mentioned how Jiang Yining was similar to herself and advised her not to live up to others' expectations but to be true to herself.
Jiang Yining was grateful to Zhou Xiaofeng. Lin Yi came to find Fang Xiaoran and took her out to have fun. Fang Xiaoran's mood improved significantly, and they both had a great time.
Xiao Rui came to find Zhou Xiaofeng and said he wanted to have a follow-up examination with her. Xiao Rui mentioned that he had gone to West Li Hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said everything was normal. However, he still felt a bit anxious, so he decided to seek Zhou Xiaofeng's help.
Zhou Xiaofeng took Xiao Rui to have an electrocardiogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which revealed symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy. Overwhelmed with emotions, Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't help but cry, wondering what they had done wrong. She encouraged Xiao Rui not to give up, explaining that medical advancements nowadays offered more options, and since Xiao Rui had discovered it early, intervention with medication was still possible.
Xiao Rui brought Zhou Xiaofeng back home and discussed the situation within his family. He believed that Lin Yi was the one facing the most hardships since the illnesses of each family member hindered Lin Yi's personal growth. Xiao Rui requested that Zhou Xiaofeng not inform Lin Yi for now, as it would be too cruel. Every minute they could keep it a secret was valuable.
Zhou Xiaofeng agreed to keep it a secret. Lin Yi called Zhou Xiaofeng to the rooftop and expressed how happy he had been lately when visiting Fang Xiaoran. He asked Zhou Xiaofeng for advice on what he should do next.
Zhou Xiaofeng understood that Lin Yi felt guilty for hurting Fang Xiaoran in the past but also enjoyed being with her. She mentioned that, as Fang Xiaoran's older brother, she didn't want Lin Yi to be with her. However, as Lin Yi's friend, she wanted him to be happy. Zhou Xiaofeng advised Lin Yi to carefully consider his decision.
Jiang Yi Ning responded quickly, informing them that she would be transferred to the orthopedics ward. Zhou Xiaofeng suggested that Jiang Yi Ning document her experiences, as they could serve as valuable material for research papers or articles.
