Episode 28 recap: Yin Guo personally shaves Lin Yi Yang's beard.

Lin Yi Yang assigns the competition tasks to everyone, asking them to prepare well, and everyone is full of enthusiasm. Meng Xiao Dong is concerned about Lin Yi Yang's health, worried about his old injury recurring, and advises him to participate in fewer events, but there are no competitors better than him at the moment.

Lin Yi Yang says he doesn't have any thoughts about individual medal counts, but the total number of medals for the billiards team must not be fewer than others. During the pre-match mobilization meeting, the head coach of the national billiards team, Zhou Bin, announced the official list of the competition, and sure enough, Lin Yi Yang is participating in every event for the men's team. Yin Guo comes to find Lin Yi Yang and tells him that her mother is very happy to know that Lin Yi Yang has won all the events, and Lin Yi Yang is also delighted to hear that.

Yin Guo playfully asks to see Lin Yi Yang's previous training materials, but they searched for a while and couldn't find them. Finally, when Chen An'an passed by, she told them that Mr. He had looked at them before leaving and they were in the nearby cabinet. In the video player, the footage of Mr. He guiding Lin Yi Yang's practice makes Lin Yi Yang once again immersed in sorrow, but fortunately, Yin Guo tightly holds his hand.

After watching the video tape, Yin Guo takes Lin Yi Yang to the room, saying that it's to celebrate their entry into the training base tomorrow, and today she will tidy up Lin Yi Yang nicely. So Yin Guo personally takes action and shaves Lin Yi Yang's beard. At the training base, Jiang Yang calls Li Qingyan to practice with him voluntarily, because his injury hasn't healed yet, so Jiang Yang can only watch him practice. According to the head coach's requirement, he must make a qualitative leap within 70 days and be able to replace himself to cooperate with Lin Yi Yang and Meng Xiao Dong at critical moments.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi Yang becomes Yin Guo's practice partner, leaving Meng Xiao Dong and Lin Lin together. Meng Xiao Dong plays without saying a word, and Lin Lin complains, "Am I playing with a robot?" Meng Xiao Dong hurriedly explains, "I'm observing." Seeing Lin Lin still unhappy, Meng Xiao Dong continues, "You've known me for more than just one day." Lin Lin admits, "You always say nothing, and I can't figure it out. It's frustrating." Meng Xiao Dong looks gently at Lin Lin and says, "Don't worry, I will tell you." In the evening, everyone gathers together, and Meng Xiao Dong sets up a black ball and says to Lin Yi Yang, "Come on, impress us all."

So, Lin Yi Yang showcased his individual skills on the field. In the same position with the black ball, he performed several difficult shots, earning a round of applause. After everyone left, Lin Yi Yang used a billiard ball to form a heart shape for Yin Guo, but one corner was missing at the bottom. Then, Lin Yi Yang handed the last red ball to Yin Guo, and she casually threw it onto the table, completing the heart shape.

During dinner, Lin Lin secretly told Yin Guo something. Both Meng Xiao Dong and Lin Yi Yang participated in the competition at the age of thirteen. Meng Xiao Dong lost to Lin Yi Yang in the group stage and then withdrew from the competition. The following year, he made a comeback and won the championship, which made him famous.

Lin Yi Yang and Meng Xiao Dong were born in the same year, with Lin Yi Yang being only a few months older than Meng Xiao Dong. They were both talented players and the youngest of their siblings. They were best friends who were always striving to beat each other. When Yin Guo brought up this matter to Lin Yi Yang, he proudly said that one thing he was better than Meng Xiao Dong was that he admitted Lin Yi Yang's superiority when they were thirteen.

The two of them took a walk on the playground, resembling a couple in puppy love, with sweetness filling the air around them. When they returned to the dormitory, Lin Lin talked about the past competitions, and their coaches were very fond of Lin Yi Yang. Yin Guo was both curious and concerned. Lin Lin asked Yin Guo about Meng Xiao Dong's training abroad, but Yin Guo didn't know much about it. After finishing the conversation, Lin Lin went to sleep.

Lin Yi Yang asked Yin Guo to find out more about what Lin Lin was like in the past because, besides her, he couldn't possibly be interested in anyone else. After chatting with Yin Guo, Lin Yi Yang came over with a pool cue. Meng Xiao Dong was eager to regain his form and wanted to play a game with him, while Jiang Yang watched from the sidelines.

At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yang made tea for everyone. It was rare for the three of them to gather together. Lin Yi Yang sincerely thanked them for going to Hull to find him. Yin Guo had many fans, and they showed their support at the airport, especially one who had been chasing after Yin Guo for several years. This made Lin Yi Yang feel jealous.

Lin Lin asked Yin Guo to comfort the primary wife, as the major competition was approaching, and the team captain's mindset needed to be reassured. After opening the door for Yin Guo, Jiang Yang went out, while Lin Yi Yang was taking a bath. When Yin Guo entered the room, Lin Yi Yang thought it was Jiang Yang returning and started complaining about how he had been suppressing his anger and hadn't eaten anything all afternoon.

Yin Guo knocked on the bathroom glass, and Lin Yi Yang opened the curtain. Unexpectedly, he saw Yin Guo and was momentarily stunned. After a brief moment, Lin Yi Yang pretended to be calm and pressed the button to close the curtain.
