Episode 24 recap: Tuling Ling's Schemes, Li Guo Duo's Dilemma
In Episode 24, Gao Ge and Chen Wei Lan have been quite busy at school lately. They've been checking surveillance cameras everywhere, trying to find the mysterious man who keeps avoiding the cameras. They showed a photo to Yang Jingxuan, and it looks like it could be Wang Wenjie, the guy she had recently rejected.
This news quickly reached the ears of Secretary Zhou, who directly asked the counselor about the situation. The counselor said that Wang Wenjie's grades are okay, but he's been frequenting the game arcade lately.
Hearing this, Gao Ge and Chen Wei Lan wasted no time and headed straight to the game arcade, where they "invited" Wang Wenjie to come with them. But they knew they needed solid evidence, not just a hunch. That's when Captain Xia Liqiang stepped in and organized an emergency meeting of the beach volleyball team. They discussed ways to protect Yang Jingxuan, ultimately deciding on a rotation system to escort her, with safety as the top priority.
However, there was a hidden agenda behind this plan. Pairings like Shao Nian and Li Guo Duo, Gao Ge and Chen Wei Lan - while ostensibly for protection, also provided opportunities for them to spend time together.
One day, when Shao Nian and Li Guo Duo were escorting Yang Jingxuan back to school, Tuling Ling suddenly showed up, claiming she was there to supervise Li Guo Duo's training. Li Guo Duo, knowing Tuling Ling's true intentions, quickly took Yang Jingxuan and left, leaving Shao Nian and Tuling Ling alone. Shao Nian politely walked Tuling Ling to her car, but didn't engage in much conversation, as he had other things on his mind.
When it was Gao Ge and Chen Wei Lan's turn to escort, the two were unusually silent, creating an awkward atmosphere. Eventually, Yang Jingxuan couldn't take it anymore and went back to her dorm, with Chen Wei Lan following suit. This left Gao Ge alone, holding the liniment he had prepared for Chen Wei Lan, unsure of what to do.
The next day, Yang Jingxuan gathered everyone and said they could take a break from the escorting. Shao Nian thought a break might be good, as it could help uncover the "mastermind" behind the situation.
Gao Ge, on the other hand, had his own idea - he ordered a bouquet of flowers and had them delivered to Chen Wei Lan. But Chen Wei Lan saw through the gesture, finding it childish, and promptly threw the flowers in the trash, reigniting the tension between them. Yang Jingxuan tried to mediate, but ended up nearly getting hit by a book, until Wang Wenjie, in a heroic move, stepped in to save her. However, he fainted due to his hemophobia.
At the hospital, it was confirmed that Wang Wenjie has hemophobia. Shao Nian mentioned that he had seen Wang Wenjie faint at lab experiments before, clearing him of the stalker suspicion. Yang Jingxuan was touched by Wang Wenjie's bravery, and their relationship began to grow closer.
The school awarded a bonus to the beach volleyball team for their good performance. Yang Jingxuan suggested a trip to the aquarium to celebrate, but just as Li Guo Duo was about to book the tickets, Tuling Ling said the Ocean University had a training session. Tian Qing then canceled the training, and everyone decided to go to the aquarium together. During the photo op, Gao Ge made sure to take a group shot of Shao Nian and Li Guo Duo, showing his attentiveness.
Later, Gao Ge encouraged Shao Nian to clear things up with Tuling Ling. Shao Nian bought tickets to the dolphin show and invited Li Guo Duo, but Li Guo Duo ended up giving the tickets to Tuling Ling. Seeing Tuling Ling there, Shao Nian realized her mind was not on the show and left.
Chen Wei Lan, witnessing this, proactively sat next to Tuling Ling and had a lengthy conversation, advising her to stop pursuing Li Guo Duo. But Tuling Ling remained confident, saying she had a way to deal with the situation.
