Episode 24 recap: Lin Yi Yang took over Dongxin City.
Lin Yi Yang recounted to Yin Guo the scene when he first saw Yin Guo. When Yin Guo learned that Lin Yi Yang had looked at him for three to four minutes during their first encounter, Yin Guo was surprised and even puzzled about what Lin Yi Yang saw at that time. Lin Yi Yang vividly described the scene he saw to Yin Guo.
Lin Yi Yang brought Yin Guo to the place where they first met. It was when Yin Guo came to this city for the first time to participate in a competition. It was a snowy night, and Yin Guo was making a phone call by the bar window. When Yin Guo learned that Lin Yi Yang had witnessed his puzzled expression at that time, Lin Yi Yang imitated Yin Guo's phone call scene, which made Yin Guo laugh somewhat embarrassedly.
After returning to their accommodation, Chen An An couldn't sleep because she was too excited about entering the top four, while Yin Guo slept soundly. Chen An An admired Yin Guo's inner strength. After the competition, Yin Guo learned from the coach that everyone from Dongxin City had returned to their home country early. Yin Guo realized that something must have happened in Dongxin City and called Lin Yi Yang to inquire about it.
Through the conversation, Yin Guo found out that Lin Yi Yang's teacher had passed away. The news was sudden, and even Yin Guo felt at a loss upon hearing it. Yin Guo called his brother, Meng Xiao Dong, and learned about the circumstances of Lin Yi Yang's teacher's passing. Meng Xiao Dong comforted his sister, advising her not to let this incident affect the competition. Even if she took the nearest flight back, she wouldn't make it in time for the teacher's funeral.
Sad, Lin Yi Yang recalled his childhood, when he was a teacher and took care of himself and even helped look after his younger brother. The more Lin Yi Yang thought about it, the sadder he became. Yin Guo's mother, despite having no money, also went to attend He Wen Feng's funeral.
Lin Yi Yang attended the teacher's funeral and cried bitterly. He posted a childhood photo of himself, his family, and the teacher's family on his social media. Yin Guo felt even more compassion for Lin Yi Yang after seeing it. Lin Yi Yang and Jiang Yang sat in front of the master's portrait and began to talk, reminiscing about the past, including the fact that the teacher had visited Jiang Yang the day before his departure.
Jiang Yang admitted that the teacher had always been concerned about Lin Yi Yang and even asked Jiang Yang to encourage Lin Yi Yang to pursue what he wanted to do, to be brave and bold in his pursuits. When Lin Yi Yang heard this, he became even sadder because he realized that the teacher had been thinking about him from beginning to end.
Lin Yi Yang still couldn't believe that all of this in front of him was real. He still felt like he was in his teens, like a teenager, and now even more cautious. He was afraid that if he didn't do well, he would disappoint the teacher's expectations. Yin Guo's coach and colleagues also learned about the news of Lin Yi Yang's teacher. Yin Guo packed his bags and participated in the finals, ready to return home immediately after the competition. Initially, the coach wanted everyone to stay and enjoy a few more days together, but considering the magnitude of the incident in Dongxin City, he encouraged Yin Guo to go back. However, he also comforted Yin Guo, advising him not to let this incident affect his mood and performance in the competition.
The finals officially began, and Yin Guo's opponent this time was the same as the one he faced in the previous finals, where Yin Guo won second place. Both players were currently the top players in the world, and they showcased their skills in a back-and-forth battle. The exciting match thrilled everyone, and the scores of the two players kept alternating. Until the last moment, no one could guess who would ultimately win the competition.
However, Yin Guo seized an opportunity when his opponent made a mistake and won the match by a small margin, becoming the champion. After the match, Yin Guo immediately rushed back to his home country without stopping. From his brother, Yin Guo also learned the news that Lin Yi Yang officially took over Dongxin City, which was a significant blow to Jiang Yang.
