Episode 9 recap: Slam Dunk, that's a secret.
Without the key to the observatory, Bu Han Lu had to learn how to pick locks and find a way to open the door of the observatory by herself. Bu Han Lu went to learn lock picking alone, and Liu Yi Xian and the others followed to help, which gave Bu Han Lu a special motivation. Soon, through continuous practice, Bu Han Lu finally learned how to pick locks and was ready to take action to unlock the door.
On that evening, Bu Han Lu and the group waited for the security guards to leave and returned to the school's observatory to try opening the lock. Two security guards went out for a drink and when they came back, Bu Han Lu hadn't managed to open the lock yet, but she remained calm and managed to open it at the last moment. The door of the observatory opened, but there was no telescope inside, which disappointed everyone, especially Bu Han Lu, who had been eager to use the telescope.
The seven of them stood dumbfounded inside the observatory when the drunk security guards noticed them. They had to escape immediately. One security guard, too drunk to run, was tied up by Lin Qian Yu and the others with a propaganda banner, causing him to lose his way. The security guard chased after them desperately, and in the end, caught Lin Qian Yu, accidentally pulling down his pants and revealing his blue underwear.
Seeing Lin Qian Yu in that state, everyone couldn't help but laugh at him, except Bu Han Lu, who felt that Lin Qian Yu now resembled a character from a manga, making her believe that Lin Qian Yu was the ally she was looking for.
After returning home, Bu Han Lu cross-referenced with the manga again and thought that Lin Qian Yu was indeed the ally, so she started thinking about how to confirm Lin Qian Yu's information. Lin Qian Yu and the others went to school early, and even though the security guard was watching at the entrance, he didn't recognize them, so they relaxed and deactivated the alarm.
Fang Da Wu went to check Meng Hui Yuan's leg injury first, then went to the rooftop to clean, which aroused suspicion from Liu Yang, who concluded that Fang Da Wu liked Meng Hui Yuan. Liu Yang encouraged Fang Da Wu to express his feelings and pursue Meng Hui Yuan from the heart.
It was Lin Qian Yu's birthday, and Liu Yi Xian hesitated about whether to go to Lin Qian Yu's house because of the underwear incident. Bu Han Lu wanted to find answers, so she also went along.
Bu Han Lu was at Lin Qian Yu's house and saw a family photo. She asked Lin Qian Qian to see pictures of Lin Qian Yu and discovered a scar on Lin Qian Yu's hand that appeared after 1999. Worried about being mocked for an unflattering photo, Lin Qian Yu quickly took the pictures away. Meanwhile, Liu Yang, after dinner and when Bu Han Lu went to the restroom, took out a prepared gift to give to Bu Han Lu. Lin Qian Yu became jealous of Liu Yang's actions and they ended up fighting over the gift, accidentally knocking out Bu Han Lu's backpack in the process.
Bu Han Lu was about to come out of the restroom, so Lin Qian Yu immediately locked the door and helped everyone put things back in order. Unexpectedly, they discovered a pager that Bu Han Lu had been hiding. The contents of the pager and the timestamps of the received messages made everyone realize that Bu Han Lu was suffering from delusions, believing that Bu Han Yu was still alive.
Upon learning Bu Han Lu's secret, everyone lost their desire to play and went home to investigate and understand what had happened to Bu Han Lu. Liu Yi Xian believed that Bu Han Lu had developed delusions and was trying to find a way to help her, while Lin Qian Yu understood that the messages on the pager might be related to Lin Qian Qian.
Lin Qian Yu went to ask Lin Qian Qian about the situation and remembered that she had urgently asked him to find someone who knew about radios one year ago, which led to his encounter with Jing Mu. Lin Qian Qian had asked Jing Mu to help set up a private pager system, and she had been sending messages to Bu Han Lu all these years, creating the illusion that Bu Han Yu was in a different world.
Lin Qian Qian revealed the truth to Lin Qian Yu, which was a secret between her and Bu Han Yu. She had done it at Bu Han Yu's request. Both Lin Qian Qian and Bu Han Yu had the same illness and shared a hospital room. They became acquainted through the Slam Dunk manga.
Although Bu Han Yu was ill, she was courageous about the future, and her courage infected Lin Qian Qian, who had been enduring pain. It gave Lin Qian Qian the courage and hope to keep going, and it enabled her to overcome a moment of losing the will to live during an emergency rescue.
There was a time when Bu Han Yu's condition worsened and she was rushed to the operating room. It was then that the young Bu Han Lu realized that her sister might die and prepared herself to leave with her. After that rescue, Bu Han Yu went back home to instill the idea of going to a different world in Bu Han Lu, giving her the strength to continue living and protecting the world.
