Episode 10 recap: He Er Qing kidnapped Lin Zhi Hua, who was still alive.
While Lin Zhi Hua was attentively listening to Zhang Lao Shi's lecture, Zhang Lao Shi suddenly called out his name. Lin Zhi Hua thought he would be asked to answer a question, but to his surprise, Zhang Lao Shi inquired about the whereabouts of Zhang Peng and Xu Wei Biao. Lin Zhi Hua expressed that he didn't know, and Zhang Lao Shi sighed helplessly. He then asked Lin Zhi Hua to sit down. Just as Lin Zhi Hua picked up his book, Xu Wei Biao appeared at the wall with a flashlight, signaling him in code. Lin Zhi Hua didn't want to continue fooling around, so he gave Xu Wei Biao a stern look and closed the curtains.
On that day, Zhong Yu Nan, Xu Wei Biao, Wang Lei, and Zhang Peng went to a nightclub together. They became interested in a group of attractive women sitting nearby. Zhong Yu Nan was familiar with this kind of place, and they recognized some of the women, so they all approached and sat next to them.
As soon as a woman leaned on Xu Wei Biao's shoulder, he quickly adjusted his clothes and covered his face, claiming that he already had someone he liked and didn't want anyone to get close to him. Zhang Peng nervously went to the restroom and overheard Zhang Xiu Ji and Wang Wei Guo discussing how to deal with them. He immediately informed his friends about the conversation, and they confronted Zhang Xiu Ji and Wang Wei Guo, causing them to feel embarrassed.
Feeling that he could make money now, Xu Wei Biao obtained two movie tickets and carefully selected a dress to give to Lin Hong Mei as he invited her to watch a movie. Lin Hong Mei repeatedly refused, but Xu Wei Biao worried that she wouldn't go, so he mentioned that others would also be joining them. He handed the movie tickets to Lin Hong Mei and instructed her to wear the dress he bought for her, then hastily rode away on his bicycle.
Lin Hong Mei indeed arrived at the cinema, but she didn't see anyone else and refused to watch the movie alone with Xu Wei Biao. Xu Wei Biao had no choice but to urgently go outside and find someone. However, Lin Zhi Hua was busy preparing for an exam, and Zhang Peng wasn't at home, so he had to seek out Wang Lei.
It was evident that Lin Hong Mei had a better impression of Wang Lei, and Xu Wei Biao felt like he had "lifted a stone only to drop it on his foot." However, he had invited Wang Lei himself, so he had to endure it. As the movie played a scene where the male lead kissed the female lead, Xu Wei Biao boldly moved closer to Lin Hong Mei, but after receiving a slap from her, he could only watch as she left, feeling annoyed.
Zhong Er and Zhong Pan Nan's funeral proceeded as scheduled. Initially, everything went smoothly. Xu Wei Biao, Wang Lei, Lin Zhi Hua, and Zhang Peng tied white cloth strips around their heads and stood by Zhong Yu Nan's side, accompanying him, which warmed Zhong Yu Nan's heart.
Zhang Xiu Ji and Lu San Ye did not attend the funeral, and Zhong Yu Nan's expression darkened. Unexpectedly, Sun Hai Jie showed up, making Lin Zhi Hua feel somewhat uneasy. After the funeral, everyone relaxed completely and gathered to eat and drink. They quickly indulged in revelry. Lin Zhi Hua had a few drinks forced upon him. He wanted to bid farewell to everyone but couldn't bring himself to spoil the festive atmosphere. Consequently, he quietly left alone.
Xu Wei Biao and the others were still reveling and didn't notice Lin Zhi Hua's departure. Lin Zhi Hua finished his last drink, opened the door, and walked away. Humming a tune, he returned to his doorstep, only to spot a figure by the roadside. He tried to discern it carefully, and the person emerged from the darkness—it was He Er Qing.
Lin Zhi Hua turned and ran, but there were people lying in wait behind him. He was quickly captured after being hooded with a sack. A month ago, He Er Qing was trapped under a cabinet in a fire. Zhong Pan Nan, who was unafraid of death, held onto his hand tightly, preventing him from escaping. Fei Er Qing noticed an axe not far away and, driven by a strong will to survive, managed to inch closer and pick up the axe. He ruthlessly chopped off his own hand and then escaped. At that time, He Er Qing was already severely injured. He barely tied his wound with a sock and left the scene to find his former lover. However, the woman had since started a family and had children. Her husband was a worthless man who constantly found excuses to ask her for money, which she despised. She casually gave him some money and told him to take the children and leave. Unexpectedly, just as they were leaving, they stumbled upon the heavily injured and unconscious He Er Qing. The woman couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The woman brought He Er Qing home and took care of him attentively. She felt that since He Er Qing had arrived, her husband was inconvenient to have around. She gave him money to send him away for a few days. However, her husband felt entitled to stay since it was also his home. Knowing that her husband was only concerned about the small amount of money, she threw her wallet at him as well, finally getting her wish.
The woman knew that she couldn't hold onto He Er Qing, but she still wanted to give it a try. However, He Er Qing would rather take a break and leave than live an ordinary life. The woman requested that He Er Qing acknowledge their daughter.
I've reached the 10th episode, and I just can't bear it anymore. The protagonist's halo is too strong and overwhelming. If they claim he didn't participate in anything, he still manages to profit every time.
If they say he participated, he's always present and even takes action, yet he never gets caught or questioned. It's as if he's invincible. One truant student can defeat ten gangsters, and the next day, he's drinking alcohol and playing games like he has an indestructible body of steel.
