Episode 6 recap: Huang Ying Zi took Ding Ye's topic.
While Huang Ying Zi was in a taxi, she suddenly received a phone call from her colleague, who asked her to quickly check this week's work plan. Unexpectedly, her topic was taken by someone else, which made Huang Ying Zi very angry. However, she didn't show it at the company. This incident made her see the true colors of her colleagues, and she realized that there are no real friends in the workplace.
Nevertheless, she also handed Ding Ye's topic to her, so Huang Ying Zi wouldn't have nothing to do. Jiang Yi called Huang Ying Zi just after renting a house. At first, she thought Huang Ying Zi didn't know about it, but it turned out that Huang Ying Zi already knew. Jiang Yi also invited Huang Ying Zi to have dinner together in the evening.
When Huang Ying Zi returned home, she remembered the past when Jiang Yi liked to play games in internet cafes. When she found out he was going to a competition, she hoped Jiang Yi would take her along. Huang Ying Zi even went to a big city to see whales, and she offered to pay for all the travel expenses. Finally, she requested that all the clothes be washed by her. Jiang Yi agreed to take her with him.
Huang Ying Zi was very happy when she arrived there and asked Jiang Yi about the prize money for his competition. She said she only wanted to find someone who could accompany her and make her happy until old age, and that would be enough. Jiang Yi was quite happy to hear this.
She also showed Jiang Yi the signing event of her favorite author, hoping that Jiang Yi would accompany her. In the evening, the two could only sleep in one room because they were both underage and needed identification to rent a room. Huang Ying Zi was wise enough to sleep on the sofa, thinking that Jiang Yi would leave her a pillow, but he ended up taking both of them.
Jiang Yi listened to Huang Ying Zi talking about marine creatures and couldn't help but smile, which Huang Ying Zi noticed. When they woke up the next morning, Jiang Yi looked at Huang Ying Zi sleeping on the sofa and felt quite happy.
Huang Ying Zi arrived at the book signing event of author Ding Ye, only to find out that he wouldn't be coming today, which left her feeling a bit disappointed. Jiang Yi won first place in the competition and even gave a gift to Huang Ying Zi on the same day.
In fact, Huang Ying Zi and Jiang Yi liked each other, but neither of them had spoken up about their feelings. Huang Ying Zi was still thinking about how to email Ding Ye when the editor approached her and asked her to rearrange things, preferably finding Ding Ye first.
In the following days, Huang Ying Zi kept searching for news about Ding Ye. After receiving a message from Jiang Yi in the evening, the two went out for dinner together. Jiang Yi's sudden return surprised Huang Ying Zi.
Before they could exchange many words, Huang Ying Zi received a phone call and hurriedly went to the given address, leaving Jiang Yi behind. Huang Ying Zi went there to meet Ding Ye, who was counting down. However, Ding Ye didn't respond to her words, and when the time was up, he grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it fiercely against a car. After Jiang Yi finished eating and came out, he called Huang Ying Zi. At that moment, Huang Ying Zi was being questioned at the police station, and she hastily hung up the phone.
Huang Ying Zi truthfully told the police everything she had witnessed. Soon, Ding Ye was released. Huang Ying Zi still didn't want to give up on interviewing him. On the way back, Ding Ye was surrounded by several people, and he started running. Huang Ying Zi could only hurriedly follow him. When they stopped, they realized that Jiang Yi was standing across from them.
While Huang Ying Zi was still studying, she remembered that since Jiang Yi won an award, he became very popular at school. Some girls even approached Huang Ying Zi to ask her to pass love letters to him. At first, Huang Ying Zi didn't pay much attention, but then she discovered a photo of Liu Ming Yu in Jiang Yi's campus card. She recalled that Lan Yi Fei once said that people usually carry the photo of someone they like. Huang Ying Zi misunderstood Jiang Yi because of this.
I cried my eyes out in the fifth episode, and in the sixth episode, I almost died laughing. The storyline is so romantic and full of youthful spirit. The taste of secretly loving someone in your youth is a mix of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness.
This drama captures the essence of youth so realistically. Yang Zi's performance in this drama reminds those of us still in our youth to cherish it and evokes memories for those who have moved past that phase. I hope that everyone avoids having regrets about their youth because it's the most beautiful time.
I'm only 19 years old this year, and perhaps many years later, when I reminisce about my youth, I'll realize that Yang Zi's presence runs through it. Whether I'm thirty, forty, fifty, or even eighty years old, as long as my heart remains young, I'll still be in my youth!
