Episode 22 recap: Zhou Dao confessed the family situation to Li Yi Jin.
Tao Da Lei disagreed with Meng Wan Qing's words and was arguing with her when he received a call from the dance club, asking him to bring a student. Tao Da Lei noticed that Meng Wan Qing was feeling uncomfortable, and when he wanted to pretend to care, he received another phone call for help, so he ignored Meng Wan Qing.
Tao Da Lei went to dance and met a young woman named Wu Qingqing. He was very happy and immediately added her on WeChat. Meng Wan Qing went to Qiao Hai Yun's place and happened to see Meng Ming Wei downstairs, only to realize that Meng Ming Wei had changed a lot.
Not only was Meng Ming Wei in good spirits, but even his appearance had changed. Meng Ming Wei was especially happy to hear about meeting Xiao Gao and told Meng Wan Qing about it. Tao Shu Na wanted to prepare a surprise for Zhang Xiaoyan, so she planned to cook for him before he came back.
Li Yi Jin thought Tao Shu Na might not be good at cooking, but Tao Shu Na was confident in herself and even boasted that she would cook for Li Yi Jin once Zhang Xiaoyan confirmed that the food was delicious. Tao Shu Na bought groceries and went to Zhang Xiaoyan's house to cook, but she waited and Zhang Xiaoyan didn't come back, so she had to call to confirm.
Zhang Xiaoyan thought Tao Shu Na might still be working overtime in the lab, so he went to the lab to find her, but he didn't expect Tao Shu Na to already be at his house. When Zhang Xiaoyan learned that Tao Shu Na was at home, he hurried back to see her, and they had dinner together. While eating, Tao Shu Na talked about her family and let Zhang Xiaoyan know that if they got married and they would have to spend every Chinese New Year at her family's house.
Tao Shu Na talked about her family, and then she asked Zhang Xiaoyan about his family, but Zhang Xiaoyan only mentioned that his family was serious, and he didn't want to say anything else. After dinner, Tao Shu Na wanted to watch a movie with Zhang Xiaoyan, but Zhang Xiaoyan was too tired and fell asleep after a while.
Tao Shu Na turned off the TV, covered Zhang Xiaoyan with a blanket, and then called Meng Wan Qing. Meng Wan Qing was feeling very unwell and didn't want to move after returning home, but she still forced herself to respond to Tao Shu Na's words, and unexpectedly, Tao Da Lei came back.
Meng Wan Qing was afraid that Tao Da Lei might say the wrong thing, so she hurriedly turned off her phone. Tao Da Lei then checked his social media and interacted with a dance partner he had just met today. Li Yi Jin went to the company early in the morning and was informed by her colleagues that she had been promoted to acting manager, which made her very happy.
Li Yi Jin moved into Cui Bao Hui's office and became the leader of the children's theater. She happily invited all her colleagues to have coffee. In the evening, Zhou Dao went to the theater entrance again to pick up Li Yi Jin after work, wanting to confess everything to her and have a good talk.
Li Yi Jin had been avoiding Zhou Dao. She couldn't let go of him, but she also felt that they couldn't go back, so she didn't want to listen to any explanations from Zhou Dao.
Zhou Dao followed Li Yi Jin to the subway entrance and couldn't hold it in any longer. He finally confessed the family situation to her, letting Li Yi Jin know that he is the son of a murderer because his mother killed his father.
Upon learning about Zhou Dao's family situation, Li Yi Jin was shocked and surprised. However, she quickly turned around and went to find Zhou Dao because she felt sorry for him, growing up without the care of parents. Zhou Dao's father was an alcoholic who would beat them when he got drunk, and his mother was the only one working hard to take care of him.
One day, Zhou Dao's mother was called to the school by the teacher because Zhou Dao had written an essay about his father, describing how he was an alcoholic who would physically and verbally abuse him and his mother. Upon seeing the essay, Zhou Dao's mother packed their belongings and planned to leave with Zhou Dao. However, they encountered Zhou Dao's father, and in the heat of the moment, she accidentally killed him, which led her to go to prison.
Due to his parents' situation, Zhou Dao had always been looked down upon since childhood. In order to escape from his family issues, he chose a major that was distant and required minimal communication. After finishing his story, Zhou Dao left, leaving Li Yi Jin with many thoughts and a sudden longing for her own mother.
Thinking about everything at home and her arguments with Meng Ming Wei, Li Yi Jin felt sad. Qiao Hai Yun called Li Yi Jin to greet her and mentioned making dumplings at home. Coincidentally, Cui Ming Wei returned at that moment, so she asked Meng Ming Wei to answer the call.
Meng Ming Wei was angry with Li Yi Jin and deliberately spoke loudly, saying that it was futile for her to be good to anyone, and from now on, she would only care about Qiao Hai Yun and earn money to buy nutritional supplements for him. Qiao Hai Yun made an excuse for Li Yi Jin to hang up the call and then scolded Meng Ming Wei, making her so angry that she didn't even want to eat the dumplings.
After Qiao Hai Yun left in anger, Meng Wan Qing talked to Meng Ming Wei about her recent changes and learned that she had been getting close to Xiao Gao. Meng Ming Wei shared her own situation and asked Meng Wan Qing to take care of Qiao Hai Yun for two days so that she could rest and focus on her own matters.
Li Yi Jin no longer called to check on Meng Ming Wei, while Xiao Gao frequently showed concern, which made Meng Ming Wei trust her deeply. Tao Shu Na rushed to have a date with Zhang Xiaoyan, while Zhang Xiaoyan calculated with formulas and proposed the idea of living together.
Tao Shu Na felt that Zhang Xiaoyan was too hasty in suggesting cohabitation and didn't want to agree. Zhang Xiaoyan then kissed Tao Shu Na to show his sincerity. Li Yi Jin agreed to Captain Feng's request to arrange a performance at the theater, but she found out that there would be a power outage during the scheduled time.
Upon learning about the power outage, Li Yi Jin immediately retrieved the property contract and confronted the property management, successfully resolving the issue of the power outage maintenance.
