Episode 20 recap: Mo Xi Xi Encounters a Campus Loan Scam
In episode 20, after the game ended, Shao Nian saw his mom's car waiting outside and felt a warm glow in his heart, but he was also anxious like an ant on a hot pan. He quickly sent a message to Li Guo Duo, explaining why he couldn't walk home with her, then rushed to his mom. His mom's gaze was filled with both concern and interrogation, asking who Li Guo Duo was and why she had spent so much money on the Fishing Boat Island.
Shao Nian tried to explain, but his mom already knew everything, including how he had skipped classes to practice with Li Guo Duo and even slept in a barbecue restaurant at night. In the end, his mom said they would discuss it at home, her tone gentle yet firm.
On the way home, the atmosphere was a bit tense, until Du Wei Long suddenly showed up, stopping the car to apologize to Mo Xi Xi.
Unable to reach her by phone, he had to come in person. Li Guo Duo and Chen Wei Lan didn't welcome him, advising Mo Xi Xi to ignore him, but Mo Xi Xi softened and forgave him. Du Wei Long wanted to join the celebration, but was coldly rebuffed.
During the meal, everyone toasted the team captain Li Da Fu, but Du Wei Long was treated like an outsider. He tried to toast Li Guo Duo and apologize, but she gave him the cold shoulder; when he tried to toast Chen Wei Lan, he was cleverly avoided, leaving him feeling quite awkward.
Privately, Yang Jing Xuan told Li Guo Duo and the others to give Mo Xi Xi and Du Wei Long a little face. Mo Xi Xi was also quite tactful, proactively apologizing to Li Da Fu and his wife. Wang Xiu Yun was initially a bit displeased, but the magnanimous Li Da Fu helped ease the tension.
However, Du Wei Long was persistent, wanting to go to a KTV to continue, but no one paid attention to him. In the end, he dragged the slightly drunk Mo Xi Xi and left. Li Guo Duo was worried, so she let Mo Xi Xi stay at her place and kept watch herself. Du Wei Long and Mo Xi Xi seemed to have some secret dealings before he left.
Shao Nian's conversation with his mom at home ended on a sour note. He was not receptive to his mom's words, his mind only focused on the upcoming finals with Li Guo Duo.
The next morning, Li Guo Duo found that Mo Xi Xi had disappeared, and learned that she might have stayed out late and drunk too much the night before. Chen Wei Lan went for a recheck at the hospital, her hand was fine but still prone to dislocation. What's more surprising was that the coach said the national youth team was holding tryouts, and Chen Wei Lan had a chance to make it.
Upon hearing the news that Chen Wei Lan might leave, Gao Ge felt uneasy and left. Meanwhile, Lu Xiao Le encountered debt collectors during training, causing a commotion that had to be resolved by the police.
