Episode 29 recap: Li Li proposes to break up with Shao Yi Xiao
In Episode 29, Han Ting goes to pick up Ji Xing from work and sees her exhausted after a busy day. The two of them go to the rooftop terrace of the company. Looking down at the bustling city lights below, Ji Xing can't help but feel like she's just experienced a battle with no winner or loser.
Her many years of friendship with Huang Wei Wei have ultimately ended in this way, making her feel like she's lost something after going through all those challenges. Han Ting tightly embraces her shoulder, understanding her current state of mind. He knows that life is always accompanied by growth, sometimes for the sake of livelihood, and sometimes beyond one's control.
To gain something, one must inevitably pay the price of losing something else. Shao Yi Chen is about to enter the marriage arena, and Qiu Zi has even made a wedding video for the two of them and invited Ji Xing to the wedding. Seeing the man she once loved for four years, who was almost her husband, now holding another woman, Ji Xing can't help but feel a bit conflicted.
Han Ting asks her if she'll attend the wedding, and Ji Xing nods helplessly, feeling she should go. Lu Lin Jia gathers the courage to confess to Tu Xiao Meng, but is suddenly rejected. Tu Xiao Meng quickly interrupts him, explaining that they're better off as siblings or close friends. After saying this, she quickly flees the scene, leaving Lu Lin Jia with a disappointed look.
He had originally thought Tu Xiao Meng would accept him, but in the end, he only got a "sibling card." Han Yu Mei comes to her son's bar to drink, seeing Lu Lin Jia's gloomy expression and asking the reason. She encourages her son not to be discouraged, that matters of the heart require persistence, and one shouldn't self-doubt just because of a temporary setback.
Hearing his mother's love pursuit experience, Lu Lin Jia seems to have regained his fighting spirit and is once again confident in pursuing his own love. Wei Qiu Zi and Shao Yi Chen's wedding is romantic and warm, and Xiao Yi Xiao, Li Li, Ji Xing, and Han Ting are all invited to attend.
The atmosphere at the scene touches Li Li, and she is very happy, even snatching the bridal bouquet from Qiu Zi. She had thought she and Xiao Yi Xiao would also enter the marriage arena, so she specifically asks Xiao Yi Xiao what kind of wedding he likes. However, Xiao Yi Xiao frankly says he has no plans to get married and doesn't intend to remarry for the rest of his life.
This answer completely stunned Li Li. She had never longed for marriage before, but meeting Xiao Yi Xiao changed her mind. Since Xiao Yi Xiao doesn't want to get married, she doesn't want to wait any longer. How can someone who doesn't even want to give her a marriage certificate fulfill any promises? Su Zhi Zhou sits in a quiet corner, and when he sees Xiao Yi Xiao, his heart is filled with jealousy.
He watches Li Li's expression change from sweet to surprised and then angrily leaving, though he doesn't understand what happened between them, but feels he still has a glimmer of hope. In the following days, Su Zhi Zhou notices that Li Li often spaces out at work. To cheer her up, he proactively invites her to watch a movie.
However, just as the movie is about to start, Li Li's phone suddenly rings. After the call, she hurriedly leaves the scene. Su Zhi Zhou asks if it's about Xiao Yi Xiao, and Li Li nods in agreement. One night, Xiao Yi Xiao gets drunk at a bar, and the waitstaff has no choice but to call his emergency contact, which is Li Li.
After arriving at the bar, Li Li calls a taxi for Xiao Yi Xiao and formally proposes a breakup. Meanwhile, Su Zhi Zhou unexpectedly receives a confession from a female colleague, but he politely rejects her. In that moment of rejection, he realizes that the words he said are the same ones Li Li once told him.
At this moment, he deeply understands that Li Li truly does not like him, and his heart is filled with sadness.
