Episode 30 recap: Lin Yi Yang relinquished control of Dongxin City.
After achieving fame, Lin Yi Yang checked Yin Guo's Moments (a feature on Chinese social media platforms), only to find that all the posts were about himself. Some expressed concern for Lin Yi Yang, while others complained or expressed anger towards him. Lin Yi Yang reminisced about his own circumstances every time Yin Guo sent him a message. Every post from Yin Guo made Lin Yi Yang feel warm inside.
Lin Yi Yang returned to the lounge to rest and intended to find Yin Guo. However, Yin Guo sent him a WeChat message, asking Lin Yi Yang to check his Moments. To Lin Yi Yang's surprise, Yin Guo's Moments were filled with pictures of the two of them, showcasing their past and featuring things Yin Guo worried about at critical points. Lin Yi Yang was delighted as he looked through the posts.
Lin Yi Yang's friends found Yin Guo and showed him Lin Yi Yang's alternate Weibo account. It turned out that Lin Yi Yang had been silently supporting Yin Guo by continuously reposting photos of him during competitions using the alternate account.
The head coach walked in and asked all the team members to go out and meet the fans. As the players prepared to board the bus back to their base, fans gathered beside the bus, eagerly waiting for them to come out. When Lin Yi Yang finally emerged, he was surrounded by numerous fans, seeking autographs. After returning to China, instead of going home directly, the team decided to celebrate together and took a bus to a holiday resort for a vacation.
In the evening, everyone gathered by the pool for a dinner, and suddenly fireworks lit up the sky. Yin Guo was thrilled by this romantic scene and pulled Lin Yi Yang to the rooftop to watch the fireworks together. Unable to resist his emotions, Lin Yi Yang hugged Yin Guo from behind.
Yin Guo's friend, Zheng Yi, also came to the hotel to meet everyone. As soon as they met, Zheng Yi kept recounting embarrassing stories about Yin Guo and how he initially pursued Lin Yi Yang. Lin Yi Yang took the guitar and wanted to play it in order to adjust the romantic atmosphere.
To create a romantic atmosphere, Lin Yi Yang had intentionally learned to play the guitar. He stood across from Yin Guo, holding the guitar, and sang a song to express his feelings. The two of them also recalled their memories from when they were together abroad.
After singing the song for Yin Guo, Lin Yi Yang confessed his feelings to Yin Guo. Upon hearing this, Yin Guo was moved to tears, and the others watched as Lin Yi Yang and Yin Guo expressed their love for each other.
Lin Yi Yang openly admitted that he was able to return to the competition because Yin Guo had given him courage. Since they started dating, Lin Yi Yang had been carefully watching every match Yin Guo played. It was because of his sincere observation of Yin Guo's matches that Lin Yi Yang was inspired by Yin Guo's pride and determination on the field, which became his biggest motivation to return to the competition.
In the end, Lin Yi Yang reached under the table and pulled out a ring that had already been prepared, proposing to Yin Guo. Yin Guo was already overwhelmed with emotions and had been moved to tears by Lin Yi Yang. The people around them cheered and celebrated for the couple. Yin Guo excitedly embraced Lin Yi Yang.
Lin Yi Yang decided to leave Dongxin City and hand over the management authority to Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang had retired from professional competition and had approached Lin Yi Yang. He inquired about Lin Yi Yang's intentions, as his retirement was not meant for taking over Dongxin City. Lin Yi Yang explained that he had taken on the responsibility in a time of crisis when there were no better candidates. He did it to preserve Dongxin City and ensure its stability. Therefore, once everything was settled, Lin Yi Yang returned the management authority of Dongxin City to Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang's son, Xiao Shitou, approached Lin Yi Yang, expressing his passion for playing billiards. He took it very seriously and spent almost all his time playing billiards after meals without feeling tired. Xiao Shitou was also very ambitious and determined, even proclaiming that when he grew up, he would defeat Lin Yi Yang and Meng Xiaodong to become the champion of the new generation.
Lin Yi Yang called Xiao Shitou and handed him over to Meng Xiaodong. Afterwards, he went out to have dinner with Yin Guo. It was snowing heavily outside, and the two of them slowly made their way to a café in the snow.
