Episode 26 recap: Shi Yan learned the truth.

Just as Zheng Shu Yi was clarifying things with her longtime friend, she unexpectedly ran into her unlucky ex-boyfriend and Qin Le Zhi. The two of them deliberately showed affection in front of Zheng Shu Yi and their other friends. While Zheng Shu Yi was still upset, an uninformed classmate started asking her about her marriage plans.

Then, Qin Le Zhi deliberately accused Zheng Shu Yi of interfering in other people's relationships in front of everyone. After that, she watched angrily as Qin Le Zhi left the scene. To her surprise, when Zheng Shu Yi went outside, she encountered a tall figure. After the person turned around, she saw Shi Yan rushing over. She instantly felt a sense of reliance. Upon learning about the bullying incident at the wedding, Shi Yan decisively decided to leave with Zheng Shu Yi.

At that moment, the people inside quickly came out. Seeing the awkward situation, Zheng Shu Yi chose to forgive directly. She lowered her head, hoping to let the matter pass quickly. However, Shi Yan, who was beside her, had no intention of letting Qin Le Zhi off the hook so easily. He publicly declared that he wouldn't choose to forgive. When Qin Le Zhi saw the driver uncle, she realized that Zheng Shu Yi had gotten involved with Shi Yan and started to feel a sense of unease. Under the uncle's gesture, she reluctantly approached and apologized, begging for forgiveness.

After everyone left, Zheng Shu Yi sat in the car, feeling restless and uneasy. Uninformed classmates continued to blame the troubles caused by Yue Xingzhou's girlfriend. Later, Qin Le Zhi turned the blame on her own boyfriend for not taking responsibility.

On the way back, Zheng Shu Yi couldn't dare to look at the person beside her. After answering a phone call from Qin Shi Yue and hastily agreeing to her request, she planned to avoid Shi Yan to resolve the awkward situation. In her hesitation, Zheng Shu Yi even called her best friend on the other side to ask whether she should tell Shi Yan the truth. After listening to everything that had happened, her friend decided to continue keeping it a secret.

While Zheng Shu Yi continued to soak in the hot springs with Qin Shi Yue, she sat there absent-mindedly, feeling restless. After observing her state, Qin Shi Yue asked about Professor Yu You and mentioned introducing her own younger uncle to their current leader. Upon hearing this, Zheng Shu Yi quickly and repeatedly expressed her refusal.

When Shi Yan appeared, Zheng Shu Yi listened to their conversation and realized that the person beside her was Shi Yan's niece. She was instantly shocked. Upon learning about their relationship, she felt relieved and openly confessed her liking for the person in front of her.

After returning, Shi Yan learned about the incident where the driver came to apologize. He recalled the things Zheng Shu Yi had said before and misunderstood, thinking that she was still attached to her ex-boyfriend. At that moment, Zheng Shu Yi was pacing back and forth alone in her room. She was torn about whether to confess her past to her boyfriend. Just as she opened her phone, she suddenly received a message from Qin Le Zhi. She hurriedly replied, arranging to meet the other person the next day at the aquarium to confess everything.

Meanwhile, after inquiring about his niece's situation, Shi Yan quietly left and stayed in his room, drinking alone. He even took his niece to the hospital for an IV drip. On the other hand, Zheng Shu Yi endured the night alone and quickly got out of bed the next day. She opened the window, preparing to face everything head-on.
