Episode 5 recap: Zhao Xiuhua almost had an accident while trying to lose weight.
Chen Ruohua's roommate, Xiaozhao, is a writer for the school magazine. The student council president, Zhou Tianze, asked her to write an article. Xiaozhao was busy with her graduation thesis, so she asked Chen Ruohua to help her write it. When Zhou Tianze read the article, he realized it wasn't written in Xiaozhao's style. After learning that it was Chen Ruohua who wrote it, Zhou Tianze intentionally asked Xiaozhao to help write another article, which naturally fell on Chen Ruohua again.
Zhou Tianze had already noticed that Chen Ruohua was the girl who helped him cure his stomach illness that day. He found her not only beautiful but also knowledgeable, which made him develop a liking for her. The director of the university's academic affairs office approached Zhou Tianze, saying they were going to inspect the dormitories to check for unauthorized overnight guests.
Zhou Tianze learned from Xiaozhao that there were some changes in Chen Ruohua's family situation. He also knew that Chen Ruohua's mother lived in their dormitory. In order to help Ruohua, he pretended to have a stomachache and asked the director for a short break. When Chen Ruohua learned about the dormitory inspection, although she and her roommates had made preparations in advance, the fact that Zhao Xiuli stayed overnight in the dormitory was still discovered by the director. The director didn't know about her family situation and not only had to send Zhao Xiuli away but also wanted to discipline Chen Ruohua.
Although Chen Ruohua explained to the director that her family situation was somewhat special, the director remained unsympathetic and said that if everyone did things for her because of special circumstances, the school would be in chaos. Chen Ruohua was at a loss when suddenly Zhou Tianze rushed over with a certificate issued by the vice president.
After reading the certificate, the director learned about Chen Ruohua's family situation. In order to save face, he complained to Zhou Tianze, asking why he didn't bring the certificate earlier. In fact, Zhou Tianze had just obtained the certificate because the vice president lived downstairs from him, and they were quite familiar. Zhou Tianze had taken the leave earlier to handle these matters.
After the director left, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. To thank Zhou Tianze, Chen Ruohua specially bought him some snacks. When she brought the snacks over, Zhou Tianze, in turn, invited her for coffee and invited her to join the editorial team of the school magazine.
Chen Ruohua has been actively searching for a job recently. The company where she interned rejected her, citing a full staff. Under Zhou Tianze's persuasion, she joined this organization instead.
Upon learning that Zhou Tianze was not only handsome but also had a Beijing household registration and parents who were university professors, Zhao Xiuli hoped that Chen Ruohua could date him. Therefore, she reminded Chen Ruohua that she was at the age to start dating. However, Chen Ruohua believed that since she hadn't secured a stable job yet, she should wait until her career was settled before looking for a partner.
Chen Ruohua wanted to persuade her mother to return home early, but Zhao Xiuli decided to stay longer to participate in her daughter's search for a partner. After living there for a while, Zhao Xiuli no longer considered herself an outsider. She not only touched the personal belongings of the roommates but also interfered excessively. As a result, Chen Ruohua's roommates developed a dislike for Zhao Xiuli.
In order to achieve weight loss, Zhao Xiufang initially wore a raincoat while jogging and later wrapped plastic wrap around her legs and arms. One time during her exercise, she suddenly fainted. Several elderly men in the park hurriedly carried her to a shady area and gave her something to eat, and she gradually regained consciousness. One experienced old man told her that losing weight should not be done haphazardly like what she was doing and that it required professional guidance; otherwise, it could lead to serious consequences.
Zhao Xiufang felt that the old man's words made sense, so she went to a gym. When the gym owner heard that she wanted to lose 100 kilograms in three months, he immediately rejected her request. Lin Tianyu, a fitness coach who was in urgent need of money due to being unable to pay rent, overheard Zhao Xiufang telling the coach that she was willing to spend whatever amount of money, and he came up with a crooked idea.
Lin Tianyu and Zhao Xiufang signed a weight loss contract. Initially, Lin Tianyu thought that he would use high-intensity training to make Zhao Xiufang give up, but to his surprise, even when Zhao Xiufang was nearly exhausted, she still persevered.
