Episode 27 recap: Guan Chao learned that Lan Yi Fei was being harassed.
A classmate deliberately showed everyone a photo of Lan Yi Fei's brother, Dai Wei. Lan Yi Fei didn't know how to explain, and Guan Chao rushed over wanting to fight the classmate. Lan Yi Fei was scared and ran away. Huang Ying Zi quickly went out to find Lan Yi Fei and learned from Lan Yi Fei that the person bothering him was Dai Wei, who had helped Lan Yi Fei fight someone in the past.
It turned out that last night, Dai Wei took the sleeping Lan Yi Fei to a hotel. Lan Yi Fei was very afraid, but fortunately, Dai Wei didn't do anything inappropriate to him. Huang Ying Zi hugged Lan Yi Fei and promised to stay by her side. However, they didn't know that their conversation had been overheard by Guan Chao.
That night, Guan Chao went to the bar carrying a bottle of alcohol. In a fit of anger, he hit Dai Wei's head and made him bleed. Soon, Guan Chao was also restrained. The next morning, someone intentionally said bad things about Lan Yi Fei. Luckily, Huang Ying Zi and Fang Ming Yu argued with the person. At that moment, Zhuang Yuan came over and told everyone that something had happened to Guan Chao.
Huang Ying Zi quickly informed her father and they went together. They have already tied up Guan Chao, and they are willing to let him go, but only if they pay 50,000 yuan. Huang Ying Zi's father agreed in the end. Dai Wei came to the dumpling shop to eat, and Grandma didn't know about the relationship between him and Lan Yi Fei. At first, Grandma was very friendly, but after learning that Dai Wei had dropped out of high school, she became guarded when talking to him.
When Dai Wei came, he also brought a fruit basket for Grandma. Huang Ying Zi took out all the money from her piggy bank to help Guan Chao, and she even planned to sell her favorite Sun Yan Zi's album. Even with her father's secret money, it wasn't enough. Fortunately, her mother took out her savings book and gave it to them. Huang Ying Zi was very happy.
Zhuang Yuan also wanted to help raise money for Guan Chao, but his mother was worried that it would interfere with his college entrance exams, so she locked him up in the convenience store. After asking her parents, Fang Ming Yu learned that they also wanted to help but were unable to do much, so they left everything to Huang Ying Zi's family to handle.
Lan Yi Fei stayed in the shop to help Grandma. Suddenly, she saw the butterfly hairpin that Guan Chao had given her, and she knew that Dai Wei had been to their house today. Lan Yi Fei saw the fruit basket that Dai Wei had given them and threw it outside. Huang Ying Zi and her father had already arrived outside the bar. Just as they were about to go in, they were surprised to see Zhuang Yuan and Fang Ming Yu also coming. Fang Ming Yu had jumped from a building, and Zhuang Yuan had pried open the door. They all wanted to save Guan Chao.
They thought the matter would end there, but Guan Chao remained defiant. They had no intention of letting him go.
Lan Yi Fei saw everything from outside the door and didn't want to let everyone who loved her get hurt, so she took the initiative to call Dai Wei and arranged to meet him. She wanted to know how Dai Wei could let Guan Chao go.
Everything Lan Yi Fei did was for Guan Chao, but it only further provoked Dai Wei. Lan Yi Fei was very scared and wanted to run away, but unfortunately, Dai Wei still raped her. Huang Ying Zi had been waiting for Lan Yi Fei at the shop, and when she learned about Lan Yi Fei's situation, she wanted to report it to the police. However, Lan Yi Fei was too scared and refused.
Huang Ying Zi took Lan Yi Fei home to take a shower, and Lan Yi Fei curled up in fear. She was no longer the same Lan Yi Fei as before. That night, the two of them lay in bed, and Lan Yi Fei mentioned that she actually envied Huang Ying Zi and Fang Ming Yu's parents. She had never had a complete family and even felt that Guan Chao was about to leave her. Huang Ying Zi tried hard not to let her tears fall and comforted Lan Yi Fei by her side.
The next day, with Huang Ying Zi's company, Lan Yi Fei found her mother. She just wanted to see her mother and even said that she had been admitted to the Central Academy of Dance. Her mother was very happy, but at that moment, a little boy and a man came over. It turned out that her mother had formed a new family and told Lan Yi Fei that she was doing well now and had no worries. She also asked Lan Yi Fei not to come looking for her in the future.
This was the final straw that broke Lan Yi Fei. After coming down from upstairs, Lan Yi Fei pretended to be very happy and didn't tell Huang Ying Zi the truth. Instead, she asked Huang Ying Zi to buy potato chips for her.
Huang Ying Zi happily bought the chips and was about to go back when she heard people discussing a young girl jumping from upstairs. At first, she didn't see Lan Yi Fei's face but her feet. Huang Ying Zi suddenly collapsed on the ground.
When she woke up again, she had forgotten that Lan Yi Fei had committed suicide. Her parents and close friends were afraid to tell her the truth about what happened. Zhuang Yuan and Fang Ming Yu continued to protect Huang Ying Zi, unaware of whether the ongoing deception was good or bad for her.
The crying scene by Du Shi Ming was so touching. I cried along with him. He really portrayed it well, but why did this crying scene resonate with me so deeply?
It's because we have experienced the painful journey of Lan Yi Fei and Huang Ying Zi together. Our hearts were already on the verge of collapsing, and having an outlet for release, seeing someone cry, especially in a restrained manner, was incredibly moving.
Tears just flowed unconsciously.
