Episode 10 recap: Misunderstanding cleared up in Chun Yu's cat abuse video.
Xiao Qin arrived at Tianji Technology, initially hesitant to sign the contract. However, in the game, she not only could stand up but also engage in sword fighting, which had always been her aspiration. While waiting for the bus, Xiao Qin encountered Yang Ba Wan and lied about coming to buy something. The two of them struck up a conversation on the bus, and Yang Ba Wan mentioned that he initially didn't want to sign but had to in order to see Dou Dou. He praised Dou Dou as a brave girl, which made Xiao Qin start to develop feelings for him.
Gao Xuan found out in the library that Qing You had uploaded Chun Yu's video online. At that moment, Qing You was feeding cats on campus and had no idea that the situation had escalated so much. Gao Xuan approached her directly and asked why she did it, but Qing You denied any involvement. Gao Xuan presented evidence, including the upload time and the URL of the video, all pointing to Qing You.
Zhang Tian Qiang came to the school to find Yang Ba Wan. He hoped that Yang Ba Wan could persuade his father to repay the debt, and he would receive a commission to cover medical expenses. At that time, Chun Yu walked out of the dormitory and learned that A Yong had been transferred to the ICU and Dr. Jia had already left. She felt that something was suspicious.
Qing You claimed that Chun Yu had abandoned her when she needed help, just like abandoning that cat. Gao Xuan told her that appearances can be deceiving, especially in such circumstances, and he took her to a place. Chun Yu disguised herself as a delivery person and went to deliver goods to Dr. Jia. The security guard informed her that Dr. Jia had moved out early in the morning.
Meanwhile, Grandma called Chun Yu and told her that a female classmate had come to look for her and asked Grandma to sign something. That classmate turned out to be Nian Su Lan. Zhang Tian Qiang returned to his grandmother's house and lied about A Yong giving him something. While searching for money, he discovered a bankbook conveniently hidden in his pocket.
The classmates started a petition against Chun Yu regarding the video, requesting lenient punishment for her. The initiator of the petition was Nian Su Lan. Grandma explained that Chun Yu was a kind-hearted child, though she appeared cold on the outside. At that moment, Chun Yu returned home and had a private conversation with Nian Su Lan. Nian Su Lan took advantage of the pretext of concern to secretly initiate the petition, seeking revenge on Chun Yu.
Chun Yu realized that Nian Su Lan was deliberately damaging her reputation, so she sternly warned her not to disturb her family. As Zhang Tian Qiang was about to leave, he unexpectedly overheard his grandmother complaining about Hei Er and A Yong never calling and kept nagging about when the three of them would settle down. Hearing that Hei Er had no news and seeing the pitiful state of the elderly woman, Zhang Tian Qiang felt guilty and put the bankbook back where it belonged, giving his grandmother the only money he had in his wallet.
Qing You saw the cat at the animal rescue station and happily exclaimed that Chun Yu had never abandoned her. She remembered how Chun Yu had silently protected her all along, and she finally understood Chun Yu's care for her. Gao Xuan mentioned that although Chun Yu might not express it verbally, she had been helping everyone through her actions.
Feeling remorseful, Qing You decided to clear Chun Yu's name. When Chun Yu returned to the dormitory, Xiao Ya mentioned that she had helped sign the petition for Chun Yu today. However, Chun Yu told her that she was a victim if it weren't for the cat abuse incident. At that moment, Xiao Ya received a video, which turned out to be Gao Xuan and Qing You sharing the current condition of the cat and a clarification from the shop owner. Chun Yu's charges were cleared, but Nian Su Lan was disappointed.
Chun Yu intentionally sent a message to Gao Xuan to meet up. Gao Xuan had already bought coffee for her in advance, and as they walked and talked, they discovered that Dr. Jia had suddenly disappeared and resigned from the hospital. They suspected that this person was definitely involved and suspected that the report had been tampered with. Gao Xuan speculated if there were any suspicious individuals in the game, and Chun Yu analyzed everyone, ruling them all out. Finally, she expressed her gratitude to Gao Xuan, knowing that he had helped clear her name.
Gao Xuan and Chun Yu were chatting on campus when they were mistaken by a security guard as a couple in love. When Chun Yu returned to the dormitory, Gao Xuan took out a smiley face stamp, which was given to her by a girl when she was young. Zhang Tian Qiang was drinking at a street stall and saw three boys across from him who reminded him of the time he spent with Hei Er and A Yong. He cried sadly, with one missing and one unconscious.
At night, everyone received another notification to enter the game, and they found themselves in a shrine after waking up. They realized they were all tied up and unable to move, except for Qing You, who was not bound. This time, she became the sacrifice to the deity. It turned out that whoever entered the coffin would be the next sacrifice.
What a great theme, and the actors are quite talented, showing their acting skills. But why is the plot outside the game such a mess? The character Qing You is inexplicable. I don't understand why the female lead, who has always been independent and doesn't seem like she needs a best friend, suddenly has Qing You insisting that they are best friends.
In college, it was Qing You who insisted on changing dorms, and when the female lead didn't show the same enthusiasm, she blamed the female lead. Shouldn't she know the female lead's personality all along? The sudden illogical turn to the dark side is fragmented in terms of logic.
Qing You's character should be that of a girl who has experienced campus violence and has psychological trauma. For her, Chun Yu is her redemption, so she becomes heavily reliant on him. Chun Yu is cold on the surface but warm-hearted, and he doesn't explain himself, leading Qing You to naturally misunderstand him.
The only opportunity to clear up the misunderstandings comes from what others say. Only after hearing what others say can she start to move forward. It's just because of her psychological trauma. Let's not speak ill of Qing You too much, everyone.
I can't stand this anymore. When the male lead found her, she still thought she was in the right, as if the female lead had abandoned her like abandoning a kitten. It wasn't until later, when she saw the kitten, that she understood.
The kitten had done everything it could for her, despite having no blood relation or obligation. It protected her throughout high school and even in the game. It has been more than enough for the second female lead.
Honestly, I feel that given Qing You's personality, it's difficult to believe that she would turn into the villainous character portrayed in this storyline, even if she was manipulated. How could Qing You possibly scheme against Chun Yu?
After all, she was the one who elevated Chun Yu to a high position. Wouldn't it make more sense for her to go after Gao Xuan, aligning with her character? I don't quite understand.
After watching all the latest updates, I feel that Qing You's character development is a bit inconsistent. The screenwriters are really pushing it in the later episodes. Qing You and Chun Yu have spent a lot of time together, so she should know what kind of person Chun Yu is.
How could she turn dark just because of such a small matter? And even if she turned dark, why would it be directed towards Chun Yu? The reason behind her transformation is surprisingly because she feels threatened by Chun Yu's equally important new friend, and she feels less significant in Chun Yu's heart.
It would have made more sense if she targeted Gao Xuan instead. I don't understand.
