Episode 15 recap: Huang Ying Zi is putting on makeup for her first date.
Fang Ming Yu stood by the river listening to music. As a result, Zhuang Yuan thought she was going to jump into the river and hurriedly went over to stop her. Startled, Fang Ming Yu, who was wearing headphones, was taken aback. Zhuang Yuan felt a bit embarrassed and admitted that besides studying, he seemed to know nothing else.
In reality, Fang Ming Yu also had her own worries. She liked Jiang Yi but discovered that Jiang Yi seemed to be interested in Huang Ying Zi. So she wasn't in a great mood, and Zhuang Yuan stayed by Fang Ming Yu's side all the time.
Fang Ming Yu noticed that recently Huang Ying Zi really liked a transparent umbrella with a whale on it. Fang Ming Yu took the initiative to tell Huang Ying Zi that she no longer intended to like Jiang Yi. They weren't really compatible, and there was no future between them.
Huang Ying Zi was also uncertain if Jiang Yi liked her. Then, Fang Ming Yu took out a movie ticket and gave it to Huang Ying Zi, asking her to go with Jiang Yi in the evening and even directly encouraged Huang Ying Zi to ask Jiang Yi out.
Because of that, Fang Ming Yu asked Huang Ying Zi to put on makeup and sneaked out. Jiang Yi went to the movie as planned but was startled because Huang Ying Zi's makeup was too heavy. At that moment, Zhuang Yuan arrived and burst into laughter upon seeing Huang Ying Zi's appearance. The three of them went to watch the movie together, with Zhuang Yuan sitting in the middle. Zhuang Yuan wanted to switch seats with Huang Ying Zi, but she refused.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Huang Ying Zi. Suddenly, Jiang Yi received a phone call, and Huang Ying Zi was talking about him. Jiang Yi and Zhuang Yuan took the opportunity to go out to the restroom first. When Huang Ying Zi returned, she discovered that every guy had bruises on their faces. It turned out that some troublemakers were bothering Lan Yi Fei, and Guan Chao called his good friends over to help fight. When Huang Ying Zi arrived, her appearance surprised everyone. Huang Ying Zi asked Jiang Yi to sit beside her, and Jiang Yi felt a bit embarrassed. After Huang Ying Zi insisted, Jiang Yi turned his head and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her makeup.
Jiang Yi even said that Huang Ying Zi looked a hundred times better without makeup. Huang Ying Zi felt quite happy about it. Suddenly, Huang Ying Zi remembered that she had left her umbrella at the movie theater and hurriedly went back to search for it, but she couldn't find it.
When Jiang Yi learned about it, he quickly came to comfort her. Huang Ying Zi had already cried off her makeup, and Jiang Yi suggested buying her an identical umbrella. However, Huang Ying Zi still felt that it wouldn't be the same as the one from before. Guan Chao has become a middle school teacher in the school now, and his classmates greatly admire him. Even if he falls behind a few steps, he always manages to catch up with the students in the end.
In fact, Guan Chao's wife is also a teacher in the school. When the students were searching for things, they even found Guan Chao's old school photo hidden under his desk.
Above, there is a photo of Lan Yi Fei and Guan Chao together. After returning home, when Guan Chao's wife was eating, she asked him why he married her. Guan Chao blurted out that he liked her, but when his wife asked him what love meant to him, she said she understood that the eyes of someone in love are different.
Then Guan Chao took out the old photo. His wife, Yang Fan, was far away from Guan Chao in the photo. Yang Fan said she had actually seen the childhood photos of their mutual friends, but apart from Lan Yi Fei in the picture, maybe because she was afraid of making herself sad. However, in Guan Chao's heart, there is still a place belonging to Lan Yi Fei.
And every year, Guan Chao would sit under the big tree at the dumpling shop for a long time. In fact, he hadn't realized that there was still a place for Lan Yi Fei in his heart. Guan Chao also wanted to keep Yang Fan. Yang Fan took off the ring from her hand and placed it on the table. Faced with their relationship, she ultimately didn't dare to take a step forward.
Zhuang Yuan found the umbrella that Huang Ying Zi had lost in Jiang Yi's room. At that moment, Huang Ying Zi happened to call Jiang Yi. She asked Jiang Yi if he still remembered the umbrella from back then. Huang Ying Zi actually knew a long time ago that the umbrella was a gift from Jiang Yi to her. Jiang Yi said he had a question too. Huang Ying Zi directly said that she only saw Ding Ye as an idol and has always treated him as a friend. Jiang Yi was relieved to hear that.
Huang Ying Zi received a phone call from her grandmother asking her to come back and visit. She asked Jiang Yi to accompany her, and Jiang Yi agreed. Actually, the umbrella was indeed lost at the movie theater. Jiang Yi went to the entrance of the theater every day and eventually found the girl who picked up the umbrella. Jiang Yi proactively said that the umbrella was a gift for a good friend, and he would come by on rainy days. The girl realized that Jiang Yi liked her, so she returned the umbrella to him.
When Huang Ying Zi returned home, her grandmother was very happy. Her grandmother was delighted to see the two of them coming back together. Huang Ying Zi had already guessed that her grandmother's words might be related to Guan Chao. Now that Guan Chao was missing, they were planning to go look for him.
Sure enough, Jiang Yi knew that Guan Chao was at the basketball court, and they found Guan Chao playing there. Guan Chao felt sorry for Yang Fan because he would unconsciously think of Lan Yi Fei.
Huang Ying Zi, portrayed by Yang Zi, has moments of laughter and tears, resilience and heartbreak. From carefree and joyful student days to the hardships of adult life, the portrayal captures the various aspects of friendship, love, and camaraderie.
