Episode 16 recap: Qin Zhixing climbed Lanxi Mountain.
Qin Zhixing exercises regularly, so climbing mountains is just a small matter for him. However, Lanxi Mountain is quite tiring, so he asked for a rest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Zhixing suggested carrying Lanxi on his back. Lanxi felt it was hard to refuse, but Qin Zhixing kept urging her. Caught between reluctance and acquiescence, Lanxi let Qin Zhixing carry her forward. They arrived at a flowery forest, watching the petals falling gracefully. Lanxi's mood became joyful, and she almost couldn't resist the affectionate gaze from Qin Zhixing. However, she knew about the relationship between Shang Tianjing and Qin Zhixing and didn't allow herself to be swayed.
Qin Zhixing had no idea and was happy about the possibility of furthering his relationship with Lanxi. However, every time Lanxi avoided his gaze. Qin Zhixing mustered up the courage to reach out and hold Lanxi's hand, but she quickly pretended to raise her hand to avoid him. Qin Zhixing wanted to put his arm around Lanxi's shoulder but was worried that she would get angry. He hesitated and eventually gave up.
Lanxi knew that Qin Zhixing had feelings for her despite his relationship with Shang Tianjing. To test him, she intentionally added mustard to Qin Zhixing's dipping sauce during their meal, which made his face turn pale. Qin Zhixing was particularly happy today, and his mother noticed his joy and wondered about the reason. She discovered a dropped photo of Qin Zhixing with Lanxi and immediately sent Qin Zhao to sabotage their relationship.
Qin Zhao eavesdropped on Qin Zhixing's phone call and pretended to be Qin Zhixing, engaging in an ambiguous conversation with a woman in the office. He deliberately arranged for Lanxi to witness it. Afterwards, posing as Qin Zhao, he asked Lanxi for a chance to pursue her.
