Episode 13 recap: Li Nai wants to take the knife from Jiang Jie.
While Li Nai was avoiding Jiang Jie, she accidentally sprained her foot. Jiang Jie kindly helped her massage her foot and applied medicine. He even took her home and specially picked her up for work the next day. When Li Nai went to Xijiangyue, she unexpectedly encountered Jiang Xiu. She was worried that Jiang Xiu would tell Jiang Jie about her plan to open a restaurant.
However, Jiang Xiu told Li Nai that she wanted Jiang Jie to discover it on his own, that he had been deceived by Li Nai. Seeing Li Nai crying in the rain, Jiang Jie held an umbrella over her to shield her from the rain and apologized to her. Unable to restrain herself, Li Nai asked him if he would still take the knife from Master Xue if he could choose again.
While Li Nai was avoiding Jiang Jie, she accidentally sprained her foot. Jiang Jie kindly helped her massage her foot and applied medicine. He even took her home and specially picked her up for work the next day. When Li Nai went to Xijiangyue, she unexpectedly encountered Jiang Xiu. She was worried that Jiang Xiu would tell Jiang Jie about her plan to open a restaurant.
However, Jiang Xiu told Li Nai that she wanted Jiang Jie to discover it on his own, that he had been deceived by Li Nai. Hearing Jiang Xiu's words, Li Nai finally felt relieved. Although Jiang Xu Yang also assured Li Nai that he wouldn't tell Jiang Jie about her plan to open a restaurant, Li Nai still felt restless and constantly worried that Jiang Jie would find out.
Therefore, even though Cui Can told her that "Eating Twilight" had ranked first in the local snack ranking, Li Nai couldn't be happy. She was even afraid that Jiang Jie would find out about her opening a restaurant in her dreams. As usual, after finishing work at Chuncheng, Li Nai hurriedly walked out. However, Jiang Jie suddenly grabbed her and asked if she had any plans for the evening. He wanted to invite her to his house.
Upon hearing Jiang Jie's invitation, Li Nai's first reaction was that Jiang Jie wanted to introduce her to his parents because Zheng Fang Xing noticed that Jiang Jie was interested in her and specifically came to remind her. Just as Li Nai was lost in thought, Jiang Jie added that he just wanted her to come over for something.
Li Nai regained her composure and lied to Jiang Jie, saying that Lao Li (presumably someone else) had an event and insisted on her accompanying him. But Jiang Jie persistently said that it wouldn't be too late for her to come after accompanying Lao Li, and he would wait for her no matter how late it was. Manager Zhu eavesdropped on Jiang Jie's words and caught up with Li Nai after Jiang Jie left, informing her that Master Xue was hospitalized.
Because Master Xue had lied to Li Nai, saying that he had gone on a trip to Sanya, she was greatly shocked upon hearing the news. Before going to see Master Xue, she made a phone call to him.
Mr. Xue lay on the hospital bed and pretended to be cheerful and laughing when he answered the phone. He pretended that he was on a trip to Sanya, but as soon as he hung up, Li Nai and Cui Can walked in. Cui Can excitedly jumped onto Mr. Xue and told him about their plan to open a restaurant. Upon hearing Cui Can's words, Mr. Xue became as if he had taken an excitant drug. He immediately sat up from the bed and wanted to go to "Eating Twilight" to see it for himself.
In order to show Mr. Xue her cooking skills, Li Nai specifically put up a sign at the entrance of "Eating Twilight" saying that the owner had something to attend to and the restaurant would be closed for the day. She meticulously prepared the dishes she had recently learned and served them to Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue picked up a piece of spare rib and tasted it. After just one bite, he started coughing violently and quickly rushed to the restroom in a wheelchair. Thinking she had made a mistake in the seasoning, Li Nai felt worried. When Mr. Xue went to the restroom, she tried a piece herself and realized that she hadn't made a mistake. The spare ribs were indeed salty.
Seeing Mr. Xue in this state, Li Nai felt extremely sad. After Mr. Xue left, she called Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie had prepared a steak for Li Nai and was waiting for her to come and taste it. When he received Li Nai's call, he hurriedly rushed over. Seeing Li Nai crying in the snow, Jiang Jie held an umbrella over her head and asked her what was wrong. Li Nai stood up and asked him if he would still take the knife from Mr. Xue if he could choose again. Jiang Jie apologized to Li Nai but didn't know how to answer her question.
Seeing Jiang Jie's silence, Li Nai already knew his answer and ran away in anger. Jiang Jie didn't chase after her but silently returned to Chuncheng. When he got back to Chuncheng, he saw a letter, a challenge from the Li family to take back the knife, at the entrance of his office.
Manager Zhu found Jiang Xu Yang and felt that with Jiang Jie's intelligence, he would quickly realize that she was the one who told Li Nai about Mr. Xue's illness. Therefore, she wanted to be by Jiang Xu Yang's side. Jiang Xu Yang didn't oppose Manager Zhu's idea, but when she tried to shake his hand, he quickly withdrew his hand as if avoiding a plague.
As Manager Zhu got off Jiang Xu Yang's car, Cui Can happened to see her.
