Episode 20 recap: Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi are officially together.
After Jiang Yi returned, Zhuang Yuan questioned him extensively. Jiang Yi told the truth, although the umbrella had been given away, they didn't clarify their relationship. Zhuang Yuan also asked if it was because Huang Ying Zi was younger that Jiang Yi hesitated. The sudden change in their relationship status made them both feel a bit uncomfortable.
When Huang Ying Zi returned home, she called her mother to ask for recipes because she wanted to cook and invite Jiang Yi to taste her food. While Fang Ming Yu was at work, she was summoned to the office by her supervisor. After learning about Fang Ming Yu's experience in multiple departments, the supervisor was very confident and believed that she could be promoted to the position of deputy general manager.
However, Fang Ming Yu was surprised when she heard that another candidate, Guo Kai, was being considered. She had to maintain her composure in front of her supervisor. Soon, Zhuang Yuan also heard the news at the company and planned to approach Fang Ming Yu for a conversation. However, Fang Ming Yu ignored Zhuang Yuan.
In the evening, while having dinner with Guo Kai, he even suggested that Fang Ming Yu should voluntarily withdraw from the competition. Fang Ming Yu understood Guo Kai's intentions but was not willing to back down. Guo Kai wanted to continue the conversation with Fang Ming Yu, but just then, Fang Ming Yu received a call from Huang Ying Zi and took the opportunity to leave.
Huang Ying Zi mentioned that the three of them were considered the most good-looking in Han Tian City back in the day. Fang Ming Yu recalled the time when Huang Ying Zi wanted to watch a movie and she helped her dress up. Huang Ying Zi also asked Fang Ming Yu about the preparations for her wedding, and although Fang Ming Yu said it was going well on the surface, she was actually burdened with worries.
Huang Ying Zi prepared a candlelight dinner in advance, but when Jiang Yi entered the room, he blew out the romantic candles and turned on the lights. Under Jiang Yi's gaze, Huang Ying Zi prepared a table of food, but since she rarely cooked, all the dishes ended up overcooked. They had no choice but to eat instant noodles together, although Huang Ying Zi managed to cook the noodles quite well.
Huang Ying Zi also asked Jiang Yi to help fix her computer, but in reality, she wanted to access the final prize from the game Jiang Yi made for her, which turned out to be his confession. Huang Ying Zi mentioned that before Jiang Yi left, he gave gifts to everyone and entrusted his belongings to Guan Chao and Zhuang Yuan.
Huang Ying Zi happened to complete the game at home, but Jiang Yi had to leave again. Jiang Yi didn't even have the courage to say a proper goodbye to Huang Ying Zi. Huang Ying Zi watched Jiang Yi leave from upstairs. In reality, both of them were reluctant to part ways, but they never expressed their feelings.
Huang Ying Zi didn't want Jiang Yi to see her crying, so she silently squatted on the floor and cried loudly. As soon as Jiang Yi left, Huang Ying Zi regretted it and quickly rode her bicycle to catch up with him. However, the weather suddenly turned stormy, and it started pouring rain. Jiang Yi secretly hoped that Huang Ying Zi would catch up and they could have their final meeting, but he ultimately couldn't hear Huang Ying Zi's loud cries. They missed each other like that.
Huang Ying Zi wanted Jiang Yi to say what was on his mind. Just as Jiang Yi took a sip of alcohol to gather his courage and prepare to speak, Ke Luo Yi's phone call interrupted them. Due to work-related matters, he had to leave early. The words that were about to be spoken remained unsaid. Jiang Yi was also too afraid to say anything.
Jiang Yi saw the conversation between Ke Luo Yi and the supervisor on the name's alarm clock. Ke Luo Yi was still advocating for him, and he was very grateful. Jiang Yi knew that Huang Ying Zi was unhappy, so he apologized proactively. Back at home, Jiang Yi asked Huang Ying Zi to lift her head and look outside the window. He turned on the flashlight on his phone. In truth, Jiang Yi would always choose to be as close as possible to Huang Ying Zi, no matter the circumstances, and this time was no exception.
Huang Ying Zi hurriedly ran out of her house and arrived at Jiang Yi's building, but she didn't know which floor he lived on. Huang Ying Zi had to search floor by floor, but luckily, she finally found Jiang Yi. Without saying a word, Huang Ying Zi rushed up to him and gave him a big hug.
When Huang Ying Zi turned her head, she saw a person hiding behind the curtains. At first, she thought it was a thief, but after using a baseball bat to hit the person, she realized it was Zhuang Yuan. Huang Ying Zi questioned both of them thoroughly, and Jiang Yi also pretended to speak up, considering he lived in the same neighborhood. Zhuang Yuan knew about it but never mentioned it.
After returning home, as Huang Ying Zi lay on her bed, she recalled the scene of embracing Jiang Yi. Just then, Jiang Yi messaged her and asked her to come to the window. The two of them looked at each other, just like back in their school days. Jiang Yi sat in a spot where he could see Huang Ying Zi at a glance. It felt like nothing had changed.
