Episode 30 recap: Ling Dong Returns Home
In episode 30, Ling Dong returned home and found a suit laid out on the table - a gift left for him by Lan Jing Hui. Ling Dong looked at the suit and thought, "Lan Jing Hui is as skinny as a monkey, will he even be able to fit into this suit?"Meanwhile, Lan Jing Hui was busy swapping out his SIM card. His father advised him not to rush, saying he could change it when he got to his destination, in case someone here still needed to contact him. But Lan Jing Hui said he had already reached out to everyone who needed to reach him, so his father didn't press the issue further.
The next day, as Ling Dong was preparing for a job interview, he noticed the suit was not in the same spot. He asked his mom, who said she hadn't touched it, so it must have been Lan Jing Hui who had come by and seen it. Ling Dong quickly tried to call Lan Jing Hui, but the call wouldn't go through. He had no choice but to head to the interview.
After the interview, Ling Dong ran into Xiao Hua, who told him that Lan Jing Hui had already left the country and had sent messages to everyone except Ling Dong. Ling Dong then remembered that Lan Jing Hui had said he had something to tell him in person, but now it was too late.
Ling Dong rushed to turn in his interview and raced to Lan Jing Hui's house, but he couldn't catch up in time and could only watch as Lan Jing Hui got in the car and left. Ling Dong chased after him for a long time, but couldn't catch up.
Later, Ling Dong learned that Chen Lu Yang had been admitted to Peking University through early admission, which surprised everyone, but Ling Dong understood the reason.
After Lan Jing Hui left, everyone felt like something was missing and it was hard to adjust. Even Ling Dong reverted back to his old ways, no longer frequently tutoring Lan Jing Hui like before. Whenever he passed the basketball court, he'd think of the days Lan Jing Hui taught him to play.
Ling Dong really wanted to apologize to Lan Jing Hui in person, but he couldn't reach him, as his messages went unanswered.
As the new semester began, the principal announced that 519 students would be taking the college entrance exam. Suddenly, a voice from the back shouted, "It should be 520!" Everyone turned to see that Lan Jing Hui had returned. They were all overjoyed.
Lan Jing Hui had rejected his mother's suggestion to stay abroad, feeling that he had his father and these precious friends here that he couldn't bear to leave. Though Lan Jing Hui tried to avoid Ling Dong, Ling Dong was troubled by this. After school, Ling Dong walked ahead while Lan Jing Hui quietly followed behind.
Lan Jing Hui asked Ling Dong if he had missed him, and Ling Dong stubbornly said no. But when Lan Jing Hui brought up the unanswered messages, Ling Dong suddenly erupted, asking why Lan Jing Hui didn't respond and saying how much he had missed him.
After they cleared the air, they both promised to never deceive each other again, and they made up. They even set a new goal together - to get into Peking University and study together.
Though Ling Dong and Lan Jing Hui were no longer in the same class, Ling Dong would always wait for Lan Jing Hui after school. One time, when their teacher held them a little late, as Lan Jing Hui rushed to class, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Ling Dong, asking, "Can we walk home together after school?" Ling Dong loudly replied, "Yes!"
