Episode 2 recap: Jiang Yi returned to China and Huang Ying Zi welcomed him.
Huang Ying Zi never expected that the first time she would meet Jiang Yi after so many years would be in such a scene. Tears were already swirling in her eyes as memories of their first encounter flooded her mind. She recalled the time when she and two other girls went to watch a movie, and Jiang Yi came with two other boys. Initially, the boys didn't want to watch a horror movie, but under Huang Ying Zi's strong insistence, they agreed.
The three girls were frightened to the core, and in her panic, Huang Ying Zi grabbed Jiang Yi's hand. Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. When the movie ended, everyone was preparing to leave. However, Huang Ying Zi said she had something to attend to temporarily and wouldn't join them for a late-night snack. People were concerned that Huang Ying Zi might get lost on her own, so Jiang Yi, worried about her, quickly went to find her.
It was very dark there, and coupled with the effect of watching a horror movie, Huang Ying Zi could only sing to herself to boost her morale. Fortunately, Jiang Yi came over and accompanied her all the way back. In fact, the two of them lived on different floors. Jiang Yi's parents were always away, and Huang Ying Zi sometimes envied his freedom to go online, but she didn't know how lonely Jiang Yi felt when other families were reunited while he was alone at home.
On the other hand, Fang Ming Yu often struggled due to her parents' strict discipline. The desk lamp in her room would never be turned off, and Zhuang Yuan always had endless homework. Everyone thought it was the self-discipline of a top student, but in reality, he had already started helping his family run a supermarket, just like an adult. However, his father, who managed the supermarket, had a special fondness for alcohol. Lan Yi Fei, on the other hand, always stayed with her grandmother in their small noodle shop until the last customer left.
This was their ordinary and contented life at the age of 18. Even if one family had something delicious, they would bring it over to Huang Ying Zi's house to share. Each family would bring a dish, and everyone was curious why Jiang Yi didn't eat tomatoes. Only Huang Ying Zi's father knew that years ago, when Jiang Yi's father returned from a business trip, he brought two boxes of tomatoes. After finishing those two boxes, Jiang Yi never ate tomatoes again.
After dinner, they all played card games together and had a great time. Although Jiang Yi lost, he was teased by everyone and still had a lot of fun. Just when everyone was having a good time, Jiang Yi's parents came back and wanted to take him away. His parents rarely returned, and their relationship with Jiang Yi was not particularly good.
After many years, Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi had never seen each other. Huang Ying Zi asked him when he had returned. In fact, Jiang Yi had only been back for a short half-month. During this time, he had been staying in a hotel, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and didn't even need room service. He had seen the messages his good friends had left for him, but he hadn't replied to a single one.
As Huang Ying Zi spoke, tears began to fall, and she mentioned that she wanted to take him to meet someone. Fang Ming Yu had prepared a meal at home, and her boyfriend had come back with flowers. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door. It was actually Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi. After thinking for a long time, Fang Ming Yu decided to open the door, and her boyfriend went home upon seeing that there were guests.
Fang Ming Yu's attitude towards them was very cold. She also asked Jiang Yi when he had returned after disappearing for so many years. Huang Ying Zi came to ask Fang Ming Yu to attend Guan Chao's wedding with them, but Fang Ming Yu outright refused. Jiang Yi, who was standing beside her, said he was busy.
Guan Chao came to eat at Lan Yi Fei's grandmother's shop. He really wanted everyone to come back and attend his wedding, but he didn't know if they would return. In order to bring everyone together again, Huang Ying Zi created a new group and invited everyone to her house for a meal. Currently, only Lan Yi Fei couldn't join them temporarily because she was overseas.
Huang Ying Zi made wontons and suddenly remembered the scene when they went to the market together to buy vegetables. At that time, Jiang Yi and Huang Ying Zi had a bet during a sports event. If Huang Ying Zi won first place in the long jump, Jiang Yi had to eat tomatoes.
Huang Ying Zi was initially very confident but ended up losing. Right after participating in a short sprint, Jiang Yi suddenly fainted. Everyone rushed him to the hospital, but to their surprise, Jiang Yi woke up with amnesia.
Just finished watching the first two episodes, and it's really worth following and watching closely. I felt so many emotions. Mingyu's human resource management is something I can relate to as I'm studying HR myself, although I'm still a student.
It feels quite realistic, with the company optimization aspect. When I think of optimization, it reminds me of how we can't stop during the annual company meeting, haha. Real optimization is about increasing employee benefits.
As I continued watching, I was deeply moved. I hope to grow up slowly. And oh, the background music is so good to listen to. I'm from the 2000s generation. Even at the end of the universe, all that's left is a rice cooker!
Gotta love and watch it for a long time. Let's go! Charge ahead, everyone!
For Ever Love, the plot is very close to real life, not exaggerated or perfect. That's how life is. Different family situations lead to different outcomes for children. Different experiences result in different current situations.
However, children pay the price for their parents' actions, the most painful one. In For Ever Love, everyone appears to be happy, but they all carry emotional wounds and shadows. Their friendship is worth learning from.
Their families, parent-child relationships, and atmosphere... Do you know why everyone likes to eat at Huang Ying Zi's house? It's because her family is the warmest and most harmonious. This drama is most worthy of current parents and those about to become parents to learn from and reflect on themselves.
The harm from the original family to a child is the greatest, and the parents' behavior determines the child's ultimate outcome.
