Episode 28 recap: Yu You felt jealous.
After seeing Zheng Shu Yi's post in his Moments, Shi Yan quickly clicked on it and discovered that Zheng Shu Yi was promoting an interview. At that moment, he began to feel disheartened. He also realized that he wasn't the special one in the eyes of the person he liked. As he prepared to leave by car, he glanced at the nearby vehicle and mentioned to the driver about planning to change cars.
Qin Shi Yue, who was in good health, was walking on the road when a classmate next to her voluntarily shared notes from class. The two of them had a pleasant conversation. Just then, Professor Yu You happened to pass by and felt a bit uncomfortable seeing them together. He approached them and initiated a conversation, even suggesting to have a meal together. Upon hearing his words, Qin Shi Yue couldn't believe it at first, but after regaining her composure, she eagerly agreed.
While the two of them were having dinner, Yu You noticed the awkward situation and took the initiative to strike up a conversation. He even expressed his willingness to continue sharing notes and suggested that the other person should keep listening to his lectures. Upon hearing these words, Qin Shi Yue, facing Yu You's initiative, began to feel a bit uneasy. She suddenly realized that she couldn't always cling to Yu You and had to be unpredictable in order to keep his attention. Consequently, she voluntarily mentioned that she wouldn't be able to attend his lectures in the next couple of days, which disappointed him.
As Zheng Shu Yi continued on her way to work, she was surprised to find Qin Shi Yue approaching her and requesting leave. Upon learning about the situation, Zheng Shu Yi understood that Shi Yan had deliberately orchestrated all of this to keep people close to her away.
Subsequently, Zheng Shu Yi took the initiative to find Shi Yan and intended to have a clear conversation. However, Shi Yan kept avoiding her, so she resorted to sending messages on her phone, apologizing and pleading not to end their collaboration. After reading Zheng Shu Yi's desperate plea, Shi Yan got furious and threw her phone aside, decisively deleting her contact.
Heartbroken, Zheng Shu Yi returned to work, but her mind was absent. She even sent an email to Shi Yan, urging her not to terminate their collaboration and expressing her willingness to withdraw from the project. After reading her message, Shi Yan immediately sought assistance from others, which only fueled his anger.
After not receiving a response, she directly took the initiative to go to the editor-in-chief's office, intending to hand over the electronic magazine task to other colleagues. It was only then that Tang Yi learned about the conflict between Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan, and she reminded them both to think twice before taking action.
Feeling wronged, Zheng Shu Yi proactively called her close girlfriend for comfort. After hearing about her miserable experience, the friend could only express sympathy and advised Zheng Shu Yi to rest at home and wait for a possible positive turn of events. Meanwhile, Xu Yu Ling, who successfully achieved a promotion, also learned about the conflict between Zheng Shu Yi and Shi Yan. Without any hesitation, she revealed her true colors and took the initiative to prepare for an interview with Shi Yan, only to be rejected outright.
When Yi Yang saw Zheng Shu Yi, he pretended it was for an interview and had others accompany him for shopping. When he noticed that she lacked inspiration, he took her to a different environment to relieve stress. During their break, Zheng Shu Yi continued to express gratitude to him. When Zheng Shu Yi met Yu You, she proactively inquired about Shi Yan, and he carefully shared information about his friend. After hearing what he said, Zheng Shu Yi finally understood her own problem.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yan couldn't sleep alone at night. He sat in the living room with the lights off, lost in thought. When his niece arrived, he sought answers to his inner doubts.
