Episode 1 recap: Memoirs of Ma ZhuoXia Ze.
When Ma Zhuo woke up from a nightmare in bed, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning. As a highly educated individual who had just graduated from Shanghai and returned, she successfully returned to Linjiang. After the meeting, she met with familiar elders and found it difficult to recognize the faces around her. In this situation, the people around her were still prepared to welcome her and mentioned some beautiful sights around the city center. However, at this moment, Ma Zhuo still felt that she had to deal with some unpleasant matters upon her return. After hearing these words, Mr. Xiao was prepared to lend a helping hand and told Ma Zhuo to call him whenever needed.
After meeting with another female comrade smoothly, Ma Zhuo enthusiastically greeted her, but the girl in front of her didn't seem too welcoming. Out of courtesy, she didn't say anything, and the three of them continued to a restaurant they had chosen for a meal. Mr. Xiao, seeing this awkward atmosphere, was ready to let them order whatever they wanted. However, even though Ma Zhuo had reunited with an old friend, there was still an indelible barrier among them, and the whole gathering was enveloped in an awkward atmosphere.
On the way back after finishing the meal, Ma Zhuo unintentionally looked around at the surroundings and suddenly noticed Xia Ze, who had been her childhood sweetheart, sitting in a car. In her mind, there was always a familiar image that couldn't be erased, and she suddenly remembered the stories between the two of them in 2006.
At that time, they were both students in their student days. As childhood sweethearts, Ma Zhuo specifically went to watch Xia Ze's boxing performance in the ring. When people around them stepped on the stage, without saying a word, she ran up, intending to call the person down. However, the people around her remained indifferent, so she had to run over alone. But Xia Ze ignored the warnings and earnestly smiled at Ma Zhuo before turning around and leaving. Afterwards, they sat down together to eat, but the people around them had no appetite at all.
After finishing their conversation, the two of them started eating their meal. Unexpectedly, on their way back home riding bicycles, Ma Zhuo's mother suddenly appeared. Seeing her approach, the people beside Ma Zhuo pretended to be idle and went back home to prepare for homework. However, after her mother left again, she took off her sunglasses and earnestly advised Ma Zhuo to wear the clothes she had prepared for her and attend the gathering the next day. Ma Zhuo, at this critical moment, had no interest in these matters and planned to continue studying. Seeing her stubborn attitude, her mother became irritable and even said on the spot that the person she was playing with was a useless child.
Afterward, Ma Zhuo successfully persuaded her mother and went out alone to continue studying. While waiting for her good friend to finish the math exam, she heard the heartbreaking stories the friend shared and planned to go for milk tea with her. After finishing their meal, she happily met her childhood sweetheart and the two of them went out to play together.
On the other hand, Xia Hua, considering the idea of opening a hot pot restaurant, began to scheme against her parents. When she heard their unwillingness, she started throwing a tantrum. Afterward, Xia Hua faced harassment from people outside because of the hot pot restaurant idea. Her younger brother, Xia Ze, quickly rushed to the scene and physically confronted those who bullied his sister. In an accident, he accidentally stabbed one of them in the chest with a knife. As the ambulance arrived, the police also came to the scene. Ma Zhuo, standing in the crowd, helplessly watched Xia Ze being taken away by the police.
