Episode 23 recap: Zhou Luo confirmed that Nan Ya cared about him.
Initially, Lin Guixiang believed that it wouldn't be easy for Nan Ya to divorce Xu Yi. Business people have many tricks up their sleeves, and coupled with the heavy expenses of their child's illness, it would be very difficult to escape his control. Upon hearing these words, Zhou Luo became increasingly restless and left the table after eating only a few bites.
Lao Chen approached Zhou Luo again and deliberately revealed information about Nan Ya and Hu Lifan, indicating that Hu Lifan had previously violated Nan Ya. Zhou Luo was shocked to hear this and had an incredulous expression on his face. Lao Chen told Zhou Luo that Xu Yi was once alone, and he had no grudges against Hu Lifan. The reason he killed Hu Lifan was solely for Nan Ya, but in the end, he died at Nan Ya's hands.
Therefore, Lao Chen warned Zhou Luo not to get caught up in the whirlpool of love. Xu Yi had genuinely loved Nan Ya when he did all those things. Zhou Luo immediately covered his face with his hands and murmured, "I am different from him." He spent the whole night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Nan Ya couldn't wait and went out to look for Wan Wan. She showed impatience towards Zhou Luo's concern.
Since Wan Wan's whereabouts were unknown, Nan Ya contacted Lawyer Gao again, hoping to recover her daughter through legal means. Lawyer Gao speculated that Xu Yi was likely keeping the child hidden for a long time in order to obtain a court ruling favorable to himself. After seeing the lawyer, Nan Ya discovered Zhou Luo and Zhang Qing Li waiting outside.
Nan Ya called Chen Ling, hoping he would tell Xu Yi to take their daughter to the hospital as soon as possible. However, Chen Ling hung up the phone directly. Seeing Nan Ya in extreme sadness, Zhou Luo felt very uncomfortable, especially due to Jiang Bing Bing's words.
Later, Nan Ya personally went to the hospital to find Chen Ling and begged her to tell her where Xu Yi was. Chen Ling contacted Xu Yi, and Xu Yi went to meet Nan Ya in person. They left together in a car, hugging each other, appearing to have reconciled in front of everyone. Zhou Luo felt a chill in his heart upon witnessing this.
During dinner that night, Zhou Luo's parents were discussing Nan Ya forgiving Xu Yi. Lin Guixiang believed that it wouldn't be easy for Nan Ya to divorce Xu Yi. Business people have many tricks up their sleeves, and coupled with the heavy expenses of their child's illness, it would be very difficult to escape his control. Upon hearing these words, Zhou Luo's mood became increasingly restless, and he left the table after eating only a few bites, returning to his room.
The time went back to the new millennium. The interrogation had reached 5 p.m., but Zhou Luo never showed any flaws. He could tell that the police lacked direct evidence and stubbornly refused to admit anything.
Lao Chen deliberately revealed the fact that Hu Lifan had violated Nan Ya. Zhou Luo was shocked to hear this and had an incredulous expression on his face. Lin Fang Lu observed the details behind the monitor. Lao Chen told Zhou Luo that Xu Yi was once alone, and he had no grudges against Hu Lifan. The reason he killed Hu Lifan was solely for Nan Ya, but in the end, he died at Nan Ya's hands.
Therefore, Lao Chen warned Zhou Luo not to get caught up in the whirlpool of love. Xu Yi had genuinely loved Nan Ya when he did all those things, but he still had a bright future ahead of him. Zhou Luo immediately covered his face with his hands, appearing to be in great pain. After a moment of silence, he insisted that he personally witnessed Xu Yi chasing after Nan Ya with a knife, and Nan Ya accidentally killed Xu Yi.
Soon, Nan Ya and Xu Yi appeared in front of everyone, holding their child. Xu Yi explained it as a misunderstanding and pretended that they had reconciled as a couple. Zhang Qing Li noticed that Zhou Luo's feelings toward Nan Ya were different and confided in Jiang Bing Bing about her own feelings for Zhou Luo. This complicated love triangle made her very upset.
Because Xu Yi had no money and Wan Wan had too much debt, Nan Ya couldn't afford the medical expenses. She didn't want to delay her daughter's treatment, so she accepted a batch of goods from a friend. In order to make money by working day and night to finish the clothing orders, Nan Ya entrusted Wan Wan to Lin Guixiang's care. Fortunately, the clothing was completed on time, and there was a solution for Wan Wan's medical expenses.
That night, Nan Ya looked at a poetry collection, and Zhou Luo's face echoed in her mind. Xu Yi came home drunk and once again tried to morally manipulate Nan Ya. He attempted to use the same tricks but pretended to be remorseful. Nan Ya remained emotionally unaffected and revealed that she had long known about his affair with Chen Ling. She didn't want to continue to be entangled with him.
Zhou Luo, who had been suppressing his emotions for several days, found release by immersing himself in the icy river water. After calming down, he climbed over the wall late at night to meet Nan Ya. However, Nan Ya still resisted Zhou Luo and told him that his idealistic heroism had no meaning on the long road ahead. She emphasized that he couldn't bear the burden of someone else's life, especially someone with whom he had no future.
Although Nan Ya's words were harsh, Zhou Luo believed that Nan Ya liked him. It was because of her feelings that she tried to avoid him, fearing that the dirty deeds would taint him and subject him to criticism and condemnation from others. She was even concerned about the age difference and the pressures of life that he might not be able to handle. But it was through this realization that Zhou Luo became even more certain of his feelings for Nan Ya. From the moment he first saw her and felt desire, to the moonlit winter swimming, he had completely confirmed that his emotions for Nan Ya far surpassed mere desire. Even if it meant risking his life, he would protect her and ensure her happiness and freedom.
