Episode 16 recap: Chinese-style parents always catch early love in childhood and then rush for marriage as they grow up.
The sight of Zhang Pei and Xie Yang together was accidentally witnessed by their parents. As expected, the parents launched a series of attacks against Zhang Pei regarding this matter. Zhang Pei was speechless. Zhang Pei didn't want their parents to randomly arrange their life when they turned thirty. However, when Zhang Pei returned home again at the age of thirty, they unexpectedly saw Xie Yang chatting with their parents. This reminded Zhang Pei of the past when their parents caused a huge argument due to a photo of Zhang Pei and a male classmate. But now they were forcing Zhang Pei to get married. Zhang Pei couldn't control their emotions anymore!
Late at night, when Zhang Pei returned home and saw their mother, the first thing their mother asked was who Zhang Pei went out with. It turned out that the parents saw Zhang Pei through the window. Zhang Pei was instantly speechless. They bluntly mentioned that this was how it was when they were young. Their parents always unintentionally saw photos of Zhang Pei with male classmates, accidentally found their notebook, and unintentionally exposed their privacy. Seeing their parents' current behavior, Zhang Pei felt a sense of familiarity and disgust. When they were in school, their parents caught early love, and now they were starting to rush for marriage. In Zhang Pei's view, these were their own matters. After all, Zhang Pei was an adult. They didn't want their parents to meddle so much. Then, Zhang Pei went back to their room.
Early in the morning, Dong Jia Xi got ready for work, looking very energetic. However, when they stepped out of the bedroom, they unexpectedly saw their unreliable father. The two of them talked about Dong Jia Xi going to work. Their mother proudly mentioned that Dong Jia Xi's current job was an accountant and reminded them to pay attention to getting a certified public accountant license. Dong Jia Xi impatiently left and changed their appearance as soon as they went out. They even prepared their self-introduction. As it turned out, Dong Jia Xi's job was not an accountant but a copywriter! At that moment, Gou Dan Dan was live streaming. Gou Dan Dan recommended her favorite products as usual, but her fans were not interested. The fans expressed that they wanted to hear stories. So Gou Dan Dan started telling the story of her argument with Zhang Pei from a third-person perspective. Although Gou Dan Dan understood Zhang Pei very well, she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. The cold war between them continued. After Gou Dan Dan ended the live stream, she still felt that her small account was not enough and she would eventually take back her big account. At that moment, Gou Dan Dan remembered the day Zhang Pei scolded her for not reading the contract!
At that time, Zhang Pei arrived at the Qinqin Company to promote insurance. The promotional effect was excellent, and it made everyone realize the importance of insurance. After the meeting, the boss specifically approached Zhang Pei to discuss future cooperation, and Zhang Pei agreed without hesitation. On the other hand, Dong Jia Xi successfully reported a story, and then the boss assigned her the task of writing articles for a public account. Dong Jia Xi wasn't very accustomed to the new job, but she was on the path of learning. Meanwhile, Wu Yun was troubled by the situation of promoting animal knowledge in the community. During Dong Jia Xi's lunch break, Wu Yun happened to call. As soon as Wu Yun mentioned the matter, Dong Jia Xi got inspired. Wu Yun praised Dong Jia Xi's idea and immediately wanted to put it into action.
Dong Jia Xi quickly finished writing their tweet, but during the meeting, the boss wasn't satisfied and directly changed Dong Jia Xi's title. Although Dong Jia Xi was a bit dissatisfied, as a lowly person, they could only delete their original tweet after the meeting and redo it. They officially sent the tweet on the subway ride back, and there were likes in the WeChat group. The boss also reminded Dong Jia Xi to do it themselves next time. Dong Jia Xi felt helpless but still sent a praising WeChat message to the boss. After that, Dong Jia Xi hurriedly rushed to the part-time job in the murder mystery game. However, the work there was not going smoothly either. At first, there weren't enough players, and later, even after having enough players, conflicts arose due to role assignments. In the end, spoilers were revealed. After failing to stop it as the host, Dong Jia Xi attracted the boss's attention and had to admit their mistake. Finally, the players stopped arguing, but the boss still deducted Dong Jia Xi's salary.
After a busy day, Zhang Pei returned home and unexpectedly saw Xie Yang's face. Zhang Pei immediately wanted to leave, but their mother pulled them back. Reluctantly, Zhang Pei sat at the dining table. Their mother started talking about Zhang Pei and Xie Yang's matter and even mentioned their high school days. This made Zhang Pei angrier and directly asked Xie Yang if they had ever dated. Xie Yang denied it, and Zhang Pei seemed to resent that slap even more. They then stormed out, and Xie Yang quickly followed. At that moment, Zhang Pei's parents finally realized their own mistakes.
Xie Yang chased after Zhang Pei for a long time, and Zhang Pei couldn't stop their tears. They poured out their newfound self to Xie Yang. Xie Yang was deeply moved and ended up confessing again. Zhang Pei openly expressed that they value love and don't want it to be so casual, then they left!
