Episode 22 recap: Companionship is a declaration of lasting affection.
Lin Jie, an old classmate and first love, has appeared, and it is clear that Xiao Chang Qing is very happy to see her, but he does not allow Sun Qian Cheng and Chen Xin Cheng to gossip. Sun Qian Cheng has not found that this Lin Jie has any social security or salary, and Chen Xin Cheng believes that this is a big problem.
The current issue is that the two of them are both worried that Xiao Chang Qing is being deceived, or that he is being deceived by the so-called first love. Xiao Chang Qing did not chat with Lin Jie for long before receiving a phone call that he needed to go, and before leaving, he said that if Lin Jie needed any help while she was here, she could find him. In the evening, the three old guys drank together, and Chen Xin Cheng and Sun Qian Cheng inquired about the progress of Xiao Chang Qing's conversation with Lin Jie today, and told him that Lin Jie was widowed, but Xiao Chang Qing actually hasn't thought that far yet.
After he left, Chen Xin Cheng and Sun Qian Cheng decided to continue observing. Sun Qian Cheng saw that Xia Ming Zhou's house was still lit, so he went over and chatted with her for a while, but Xia Ming Zhou was only concerned with her work, and the things Sun Qian Cheng wanted to say were interrupted, so he didn't say them.
Xiao Chang Qing also returned to his residence and chatted with his mother, mentioning the missed first love, and his mother could see that her son was so happy to see that first love, he must have liked her quite a bit back then. Sun Qian Cheng found out a lot of information about Lin Jie - after graduating from college, she got married and went out of town with her husband, but he doesn't know where they went or what work she did.
It was about seven or eight years ago that her husband passed away, and Lin Jie lived in her parents' house, but later the house was demolished and she received several hundred thousand yuan, so she started renting houses everywhere. Chen Xin Cheng mentioned wages and social security, but Sun Qian Cheng is not clear, as he did not find any information about it. Later, Lin Jie came to the New Yiyang Retirement Community and chose the lowest-level one.
Xiao Chang Qing has a big family, and on top of that, he has Lin Jie, who doesn't even have a retirement pension or social security. Chen Xin Cheng and Sun Qian Cheng both feel that it's uncertain, but Xiao Chang Qing is so happy that he doesn't even think about it.
He is walking with Lin Jie on the shaded path of the retirement community, carefully chatting with her all the way. When Lin Jie gets tired, she rests on a chair, and Xiao Chang Qing has no choice but to leave. The next day, Xiao Chang Qing specially bought some "honey three blades", but his mother didn't want to eat them, so he smilingly gave them to Lin Jie instead. However, Lin Jie only ate one piece and then said that at her age, it's not good to eat too much sweet stuff. She then said she needed to go back and take an online class, and Xiao Chang Qing's smile gradually faded.
Xiao Chang Qing took the remaining "honey three blades" back to the office. Sun Qian Cheng asked if he really liked Lin Jie, and Chen Xin Cheng teamed up with him to probe Xiao Chang Qing's true thoughts. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chang Qing unhesitatingly said that he likes her, and he doesn't care if Lin Jie has no pension or retirement fund. He said that even if Lin Jie has no money, he has money, and even if his family doesn't approve of their relationship, it's his decision.
Hearing this, Sun Qian Cheng and Chen Xin Cheng didn't know what else to say, and urged Xiao Chang Qing to go confess to Lin Jie right away. They even told him to change into a suit and bring a bouquet of flowers to confess.
Xiao Chang Qing was very nervous. Suddenly, Liu Dama, the neighbor across the hall, opened her door, mistakenly thinking the flowers were for her, and directly took them. This led to a misunderstanding with Liu Dage, who came to the office questioning Xiao Chang Qing. Xia Ming Zhou quickly stepped in to help him out, and even Sun Qian Cheng became magnanimous.
Xiao Chang Qing then sincerely sought advice from Xia Ming Zhou. Xia Ming Zhou said that women of their age don't need a grand romance, but rather, a quiet companionship. Xiao Chang Qing's sudden confession would likely only bring Lin Jie trouble.
Xiao Chang Qing felt her words made sense, so he decided to give up the confession. That night, the three old fellows discussed the topic of elderly love, and Xiao Chang Qing had an idea - since Lin Jie will be living here, they'll have plenty of time to get to know each other well.
