Episode 15 recap: Tuling Ling Snoops on the Training Plan, Li Guoduo Sees Through It
In Episode 15, a lively campfire party was underway one evening. Tuling Ling came up with the idea to play a game of truth or dare. When it was Coach Tian's turn, Luxiaole mischievously asked if he had a girlfriend. When it was Luxiaole's own turn, he cleverly avoided the question by claiming he got a dare. Tian Qing couldn't get anything out of him, so she just left, with Luxiaole chasing after her and getting scolded.
Next, the group turned their attention to Shaoniang, with Tuling Ling directly asking if he had a special someone. Shaoniang glanced over at Li Guoduo and then awkwardly said he loved his mother the most. When it was Tuling Ling's turn, she was asked why she didn't choose Li Guoduo as her partner, and she honestly replied that she knew Guoduo already had someone.
For Chen Weilan's dare, Yanxiaojing boldly encouraged her to drink from the same cup as a boy, unanimously recommending Gaoze. After the party, Chen Weilan insisted on continuing to drink with Gaoze, asking how she compared to Langyueting. Gaoze first praised Langyueting, then said "but you're more beautiful!", flustering Chen Weilan.
Privately, Li Guoduo asked Shaoniang about the truth or dare. Tuling Ling quickly joined them, offering drinks to smooth things over. Back at the hotel, Tuling Ling tried to get Li Guoduo to spill Luxiaole's secrets, but an exhausted Guoduo could only complain about the tough training. Yanxiaojing saw right through Tuling Ling's schemes and took Guoduo away.
The next day, as the hungover Chen Weilan rested, Shaoniang accompanied Guoduo to train. Tuling Ling again inserted herself, wanting to coach, which made Guoduo recall feeling abandoned before. Just then, Shaoniang got a call from his mom and had to urgently return home.
Guoduo wondered why Tuling Ling was always clinging to her training. Yangshengjuan pointed out that Tuling Ling was trying to get close to Shaoniang. Yanxiaojing also warned Guoduo to watch out for Tuling Ling.
After Shaoniang got home, his mom scolded him, but he explained the money was for art supplies, and promised to study harder and take care of family matters.
Elsewhere, Tian Qing met with Luxiaole to discuss the national youth team. Luxiaole was clueless, not even understanding the sports terms, and Li Guoduo overheard, realizing he was in big trouble.
Tuling Ling advised Guoduo not to change for Shaoniang, but Guoduo was determined. She decided to talk to Luxiaole again, asking him to let her and Chen Weilan be a team against Tuling Ling. Guoduo also planned to hold back her aces, Yanxiaojing and Moxixi, to test the opponents first.
As the match approached, Guoduo messaged Shaoniang to discuss tactics. Chen Weilan noticed Guoduo was unusually talkative, but didn't think much of it. This post-campfire drama felt like a prelude to an intense, unpredictable upcoming match.
