Episode 16 recap: Xiao Jing Whale Gets Food Poisoning from Barbecue, Restaurant Gets Vandalized

In Episode 16, the friendly match after the training camp resulted in Xingang team unexpectedly beating the Sports University team, making Lu Xiaole ecstatic. All she could think about was the dinner treat that Tian Qing promised. But just as Li Guoduo was reveling in the victory, Chen Weilan threw cold water on her, saying that the Sports University team had purposely held back. Tian Qing chatted with Tu Lingling about the match, and the straightforward Tu Lingling admitted that Chen Weilan's skills were indeed excellent, but Li Guoduo still lacked experience, and the two of them barely won the match as a pair.

Tu Lingling also mentioned Yan Xiaojing and Mo Xixi, saying that their individual skills were not weak, but they lacked tactical coordination, so she was very confident about the Seven-School Tournament.

As soon as the training at Yuzhou Island ended, Li Guoduo dragged Shaonian to the hospital to visit Li Dafu. While discussing Coach Lu's training methods, Li Guoduo shook her head, saying that it was completely different from what she had imagined - all physical training, with hardly any tactics.

Li Dafu was taken aback, reminiscing about how comprehensive their training used to be back in the day.

In the evening, the beach volleyball team members came to Li Guoduo's place to celebrate. Wang Xiuyan brought some health products she was now representing, hoping to attract students through word-of-mouth. Although Li Guoduo was a bit skeptical, worried that her mom might get scammed, she figured the health products couldn't be too harmful, so she didn't press the issue further.

Lu Xiaole wanted to buy some whitening products for Tian Qing, and Wang Xiuyan eagerly recommended them, almost slipping that she used to represent cosmetics before, but Lu Xiaole quickly changed the subject.

Back at school, Yan Xiaojing got severe diarrhea and could barely stand. A check revealed that she had food poisoning. Mo Xixi immediately told Li Guoduo, who rushed to the hospital with Shaonian.

At the hospital, Yan Xiaojing looked pale and was still not letting up, accusing Li Guoduo's family of running a shady restaurant. Infuriated, Li Guoduo turned to leave, but Shaonian quickly explained that there could be many reasons for diarrhea, and it didn't necessarily mean a problem with the food.

Seeing Yan Xiaojing's agitated state, Xia Liqiang asked her to calm down first, but Yan Xiaojing thought he was no longer concerned about her, insisting that Mo Xixi take her back to school.

The next morning, Xia Liqiang went to the hospital to bring Yan Xiaojing food, only to find that she had already been discharged. Yan Xiaojing was deeply upset, saying she never wanted to see Li Guoduo again.

In the evening, Mo Xixi went to the bar to vent to her boyfriend Du Weilong about Yan Xiaojing's incident, and she casually mentioned that if this happened to her, she would have destroyed the restaurant.

Du Weilong took this literally.

At school, Li Guoduo heard classmates gossiping about her family's restaurant being unsanitary, and she stormed out of the classroom. Du Weilong and some thugs then went to Dafu Barbecue and started vandalizing the place. Neighbors rushed to intervene, and Shaonian called for help in the group chat. Chen Weilan and Gao Ge came without hesitation.

When Li Guoduo returned home and saw the chaos, she immediately started recording video evidence. After Du Weilong and the others left, everyone was busy cleaning up the mess. Shaonian accidentally cut his leg, and Li Guoduo felt deeply sorry, carefully helping him apply medication. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit delicate, and Shaonian gazed at Li Guoduo intently, prompting her to quickly find something to say and break the awkwardness.

Mo Xixi scolded Du Weilong harshly after finding out he had caused trouble. Li Guoduo happened to come to the school and Mo Xixi apologized, saying she was just venting and didn't expect Du Weilong to actually go and cause a scene. Li Guoduo firmly stated that the ingredients at her family's barbecue restaurant were absolutely clean and sanitary, and she would pursue legal responsibility against Du Weilong.
