Episode 20 recap: Zhang Tian Guan finally saw his long-awaited mother.
Zhang Tian Guan finally met his beloved mother, whom he had been thinking about in his heart. He never expected that his mother would feel so unfamiliar to him. He had a vague sense of something, but he was unwilling to confront it. He continued to pour water for his mother, but her words hit him like a blow to the head. It turned out that his parents had divorced a long time ago. His mother had been saying that she was working in Hong Kong, but in reality, she had already started a new family there. Now that she was financially stable, she wanted to immigrate to Toronto for his better development and decided to take him with her.
Upon hearing all of this, Zhang Tian Guan immediately grabbed his backpack and left. Teacher Zhang had no idea about Zhang Tian Guan's emotions and wanted to talk to him. However, to their surprise, they ended up having a big argument. Zhang Tian Guan didn't care about anything and ran out, running aimlessly in the pouring rain. He didn't know where to go or what to do. How he wished his mother would come back and the family could be together again. But now he learned that his parents had divorced many years ago.
He sat in a corner, crying in the heavy rain. Lin Hao happened to pass by after work and saw him. Lin Hao took him back to his home. Teacher Zhang couldn't find his son, and Zhang Ting and She Zhenzhen were also searching everywhere. They looked in all the places they were supposed to, but there was no trace of him. Suddenly, Chen Ting thought of one place they hadn't searched: Lin Hao's house. As expected, Zhang Tian Guan was there. Nobody knew what had happened, and they thought it was because his novel couldn't be published.
After everyone calmed down, Zhang Tian Guan told them about what had happened at home. He didn't know when his parents had divorced, and now suddenly his mother came back and said she wanted to take him away. He couldn't accept it. After listening to everything, Chen Ting felt that they should inform Teacher Zhang first so that they wouldn't worry. At the same time, Tian Guan's mother asked them to persuade him and emphasized that the road of life is long and choices are crucial. He should go out and explore. This put Chen Ting and She Zhenzhen in a difficult position.
Lin Hao and the others sat on the rooftop, discussing how to talk to Tian Guan. After all, they were good friends, and persuading him to go abroad meant pushing their good friend away. But on the other hand, they also realized that going abroad could offer many opportunities. They didn't know what to do. Lin Hao returned home and looked at Tian Guan, unsure if he should speak up. It was actually Tian Guan who felt like he was causing trouble for Lin Hao. Lin Hao used Tian Guan's own words to tell him that regardless of why his parents divorced, it was their choice. They were individuals first and foremost, and then they were his parents.
Tian Guan was convinced by Lin Hao's words. After a night of inner struggle, he finally returned home. When he saw Teacher Zhang holding instant noodles in his hands, he held back his heartache. Teacher Zhang thought that Tian Guan was going to leave with his mother when he heard that he had agreed to her. He got up to pack his things for him. However, what surprised Teacher Zhang was that Tian Guan proactively made an appointment with his mother and expressed his own thoughts. He was an independent individual with his own choices. He didn't want to leave here and his mother respected his decision.
In order to see She Zhenzhen every day, Lin Hao always invited her to do nursing work. This made Chen Ting uneasy when he heard about it. He couldn't fall behind. Both of them were making efforts for She Zhenzhen. But then, an unexpected event occurred. She Zhenzhen planned to go to Hong Kong. Ever since their last blind date, she realized that her family was like a cage to her. She couldn't give up on herself. She had to go out and take control of her own destiny.
