Episode 19 recap: Wu Xu came to find Chu Qi.

Wu Xu originally didn't want to deal with Hu Ge, but upon hearing that it was related to Chu Qi, he asked Hu Ge for the news. Chu Qi felt that she had known Gu Yu Sheng since they were 14 years old and they could be considered childhood sweethearts. She knew that her feelings for Gu Yu Sheng were not romantic, so she couldn't deceive herself or Gu Yu Sheng, which is why she firmly rejected him.

Chu Qi also felt that perhaps after they separated, she could understand her own feelings more calmly. It was only now that she realized that she liked Wu Xu. Chu Qi was originally out shopping on the street and unexpectedly saw Wu Xu approaching, which made her very excited. Chu Qi asked Wu Xu why he was here, and Wu Xu said he came to protect her.

Wu Xu learned from Hu Ge that the mayor had come to Pingcheng, so he came to protect Chu Qi. Gu Yu Sheng pulled Wu Xu aside and told him not to interfere in his and Chu Qi's feelings. Wu Xu stated that his feelings for Chu Qi were no less than Gu Yu Sheng's, and Chu Qi would have her own choice.

Chu Qi rushed over and once again rejected Gu Yu Sheng. Gu Yu Sheng said he wouldn't bless them. Gu Yu Sheng drank quite a bit of alcohol and felt very frustrated. He believed that as long as love could bring happiness, anything else didn't matter.

Gu Yu Sheng also mentioned some things about Chu Qi. Her favorite food was stinky tofu, but she felt that as a member of the Shen family, she still needed to maintain her dignity.
