Episode 16 recap: Lin Yi Yang decided to come out of retirement and participate in the competition.
Yin Guo returned to China, and his good friend Zheng Yi came to pick him up at the airport. The two best friends were thrilled to see each other. Zheng Yi had originally planned to celebrate for Yin Guo at her own restaurant, but Yin Guo needed to go home, so he declined. At this moment, Lin Yi, who had won the championship, also returned, and both of them took the same flight to pick up Lin Lin.
After seeing Lin Lin, Yin Guo secretly told his friend Zheng Yi that Lin Lin was actually his brother Meng Xiao Dong's ex-girlfriend. Zheng Yi was surprised to hear this, as she thought Meng Xiao Dong was not interested in romantic relationships. However, after the initial greetings, Zheng Yi was also intimidated by Lin Lin's presence, as Meng Xiao Dong was usually very aloof. It was unclear who would dominate in their relationship.
After parting ways, Yin Guo intentionally sent a text message to his brother Meng Xiao Dong, informing him that he had met Lin Lin. Meng Xiao Dong was practicing basketball at the time, and although he was happy inside, he replied casually, pretending as if it was no big deal.
Yin Guo brought Zheng Yi back home for dinner. They were waiting for Yin Guo's father to return, as he had a meeting. In the evening, Lin Yi Yang was organizing documents in the living room when his friend Wu Wei came to ask if he would return to the East City. However, Lin Yi Yang had a different idea in mind. He wanted to organize a new type of billiards event. When Lin Yi Yang mentioned his plan to compete, Wu Wei became excited and even shed tears.
Wu Wei and Lin Yi Yang grew up together, and Wu Wei felt that this moment was a significant milestone for Lin Yi Yang. Finally, he could let go of the pressure in his heart and return to the battlefield to continue his fight. Early in the morning, Yin Guo got ready and prepared to go for practice. He suddenly messaged Lin Yi Yang. Since there was still some time, Yin Guo dressed up nicely and prepared to video chat with Lin Yi Yang.
While the two were video chatting, Yin Guo's younger brother, Meng Xiao Tian, overheard their conversation in the living room. Yin Guo went to the billiards club, feeling worried about Lin Yi Yang's future and uncertain in his mind. He pulled his friend Zheng Yi aside to discuss the matter. Seeing Yin Guo in distress, Zheng Yi initially thought that Yin Guo's world ranking was continuously rising, and he had also found a great boyfriend, achieving success in both career and love. She didn't know what could be better than that. Upon hearing Yin Guo's concerns, Zheng Yi started advising Yin Guo, suggesting that he should meet Lin Yi Yang. With his current abilities, Lin Yi Yang could definitely find a good job. Zheng Yi felt that Yin Guo was worrying needlessly.
When Meng Xiao Dong learned that Lin Yi Yang had registered for the open tournament in Macau, he was thrilled. He immediately decided to participate as well because for years, Meng Xiao Dong had been wanting to have a proper competition with Lin Yi Yang. Although Lin Yi Yang had retired and not participated in any competitions, he finally got the chance.
As the competition drew closer, Lin Yi Yang noticed that everything was changing. He called Yin Guo to seek some reassurance and psychological support. When Yin Guo learned that Lin Yi Yang wanted to make a comeback, he continuously encouraged him, urging him to move forward courageously and not retreat.
Lin Yi Yang officially started the competition, and Meng Xiao Dong also arrived at the venue to watch Lin Yi Yang's matches. He saw that Lin Yi Yang's skills were still remarkable and was very satisfied. With his exceptional technique and years of experience in major tournaments, Lin Yi Yang continuously eliminated his opponents. Since Lin Yi Yang hadn't competed in many years, many people didn't recognize him, and even the commentators were surprised by the sudden appearance of this person. In the end, Lin Yi Yang reached the finals and won the championship.
