Episode 20 recap: Ling Dong is determined to become Lan Jing Hui's forever second uncle.
When Ling Dong was warming himself by the fire, Lan Jing Hui came over in a playful mood, making small talk and even trying to sing for Ling Dong, but was rejected. Hearing Ling Dong's rumbling stomach, Lan Jing Hui quickly admitted that he wasn't feeling well and needed to use the restroom.
Lan Jing Hui then rushed to the rest area, trying to sneak in, but found the door was locked. Ling Dong had already jumped through the window and entered the room, mocking Lan Jing Hui for his lack of intelligence. As the two were trying to leave with their phones, they suddenly discovered a lot of food on the floor. They quickly grabbed some sausages and instant noodles, planning to sneak away, when Coach Wu suddenly came in and discovered them. Lan Jing Hui pulled Ling Dong to hide, and hearing Coach Wu's approaching footsteps, Lan Jing Hui's legs went weak, remembering the times he was locked up as a child.
Ling Dong put on a cap and jumped out the window to escape. Coach Wu chased after him, but could not catch up. Lan Jing Hui and Ling Dong hid in the bushes to avoid Coach Wu. Xiao Xiao Hua, who was on night duty, was hungry, so Lan Jing Hui brought her some instant noodles. As Lan Jing Hui and Ling Dong were leaving, Coach Wu came and saw the noodles in Xiao Xiao Hua's hand, but was only surprised at how quickly the young girl had run off, and did not expose them, only reminding Xiao Xiao Hua not to litter.
Lan Jing Hui expressed his gratitude to Ling Dong, and Ling Dong opened up about his own feelings. He had initially been independent, but later realized that although Lan Jing Hui was unreliable, he wholeheartedly cared for them and gradually influenced Ling Dong as well. Ling Dong was willing to get closer to Lan Jing Hui.
Lan Jing Hui also shared his fear of the dark and being locked up. As a child, he had once hidden with a friend, not wanting to be found by his mother, and ended up locked in an abandoned warehouse without food or water. When he was finally found, he had become afraid of confined spaces and bright lights.
Lan Jing Hui felt that the friend had betrayed him, leading to his discovery and being taken away. Ling Dong thought the friend might not have meant it that way at the time. Lan Jing Hui also questioned whether he and Ling Dong were truly related, as Ling Dong was not actually his second uncle. In reality, Lan Jing Hui and Ling Dong were not relatives, but Lan Jing Hui's father had been supporting Ling Dong's family for years, as Ling Dong's father, Lan Jing Hui's father, and Manager Zhang were good friends.
So Ling Dong deliberately mentioned the matter of his second maternal uncle, making Lan Jing Hui study hard, and in the future if Lan Jing Hui is disobedient, he can use his identity as the second maternal uncle to suppress him. After hearing Ling Dong's words, Lan Jing Hui was so angry that he wanted to hit Ling Dong, and the two of them fell to the ground, and Ling Dong reiterated that what he said about being Lan Jing Hui's second maternal uncle for life was sincere, but Lan Jing Hui mocked Ling Dong, thinking he was dreaming. The two of them lay on the lawn, being polite to each other, mutually "disdainful", and teasing each other.
The next day, Lan Jing Hui and the other two resumed their training. Lan Jing Hui and Ling Dong each had their own training routines, and Xiao Xiao Hua, seeing the two of them arguing like old friends, was sincerely happy. The time for the competition finally arrived, and Chen Lu Yang boasted that this time they would definitely win first place, and the two teams were not reconciled to each other.
When they were halfway through the race, Xiao Xiao Hua suddenly fell, and the first place went to Xu Meng Yu's team. Xia Qing Tian was a little regretful, feeling that he had not helped Chen Lu Yang win first place. Chen Lu Yang, seeing Xia Qing Tian's expression, smiled warmly, feeling that it didn't matter whether they won or lost, they were all happy.
Although Xiao Xiao Hua's team lost, everyone's mentality was good. Ling Dong also rarely experienced the feeling of losing, and Lan Jing Hui also felt that their team was too strong and should leave some opportunities for others. In the evening, gathered around the campfire, Ma Yi Ming hinted that the newly selected Lan Jing Hui should help him and Xu Meng Yu to have a duet of love songs, but Xu Meng Yu would rather be punished and drink bitter water than sing a love song duet. Ma Yi Ming took the initiative to grab it and drank it, but couldn't help vomiting. Xu Meng Yu brought Ma Yi Ming some water and scolded him for grabbing it.
When Xia Qing Tian became the "king", she required the two poker cards she chose to have a tight hug, which were actually Ling Dong and Xiao Xiao Hua. Everyone thought it would be embarrassing if it was a girl, but Lan Jing Hui noticed Xiao Xiao Hua's awkwardness, quietly took the poker cards from her hand, and went up to tightly hug Ling Dong, almost making Ling Dong out of breath, and Xiao Xiao Hua couldn't help but laugh.
