Episode 13 recap: Ji Yu Heng Confesses His Feelings to Tu Xiao Ning

In episode 13, as soon as Ji Yu Heng noticed Tu Xiao Ning coughing a few times, he immediately became concerned and asked her if she was feeling unwell. Xiao Ning smiled and waved it off, but Tang Yu Hui, who was standing nearby, was anxious like a rabbit. Back in the office, Ji Yu Heng didn't hesitate to call Xiao Ning's mother to ask what Xiao Ning liked to eat when she had a cold.

Upon learning that Xiao Ning liked steamed oranges, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and personally cooked them for her. This gesture warmed Xiao Ning's heart. He also discreetly reached out to feel her forehead, checking if she had a fever, and Xiao Ning's face turned red with embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Qi Yu and Ling Wei Yi were out for an evening bike ride, and although it was simple, the warmth and sweetness of their moment was envious. Ling Wei Yi was overjoyed at the prospect of reuniting with Qi Yu and was full of anticipation for the future. Qi Yu even told her that he had a big surprise planned for her during the New Year.

Soon, it was time for Tu Xiao Ning's final exam, and her family and friends were all cheering her on remotely. Ling Wei Yi was teasing Xiao Ning about her relationship with Ji Yu Heng, and when Ji Yu Heng suddenly appeared, Xiao Ning was embarrassed and pretended to be asleep to avoid the situation. However, Ji Yu Heng gently kissed her forehead, offering her encouragement.

Every morning, Ji Yu Heng was Xiao Ning's strongest support, sending her to the intersection and filling her with positive energy. On the day of the exam, Xiao Ning entered the testing room with confidence. Ji Yu Heng, meanwhile, had quietly arranged a celebratory dinner at Xiao Ning's favorite restaurant, even though Xiao Ning was worried about the cost. Ji Yu Heng simply smiled and assured her that everything was taken care of.

During the dinner, the two discussed their future, their eyes filled with anticipation and sweetness for each other. Zhao Fang Gang and Rao Jing, the bickering couple, also added to the joyful atmosphere. The two families dining together created a warm and heartwarming scene.

Mrs. Ji sighed and said that the house became much livelier after her son started dating. Mrs. Tu was even more enthusiastic, directly inviting the in-laws to move in and enjoy the family bliss. At the dinner table, Xiao Ning boldly suggested that if she passed the exam, she would increase the bet to 20%, showing her full confidence. Just as Ji Yu Heng was about to confess his feelings to Xiao Ning, Ling Wei Yi's call suddenly came through.

He reluctantly answered the phone, and Ling Wei Yi was excitedly guessing if Qi Yu was going to confess to her. As for Xiao Ning, due to the violin music in the restaurant, she mistakenly thought it was a surprise prepared by Ji Yu Heng for her, but it turned out to be a marriage proposal at the next table, making her feel a little disappointed.

Ji Yu Heng brought a cake for Xiao Ning to cut, and she eagerly hoped there would be a special surprise inside. Meanwhile, Qi Yu and Ling Wei Yi were watching the sunset, and Qi Yu silently noted down Ling Wei Yi's every preference, taking her to witness the most beautiful moment. Ling Wei Yi was so moved that she directly kissed Qi Yu, saying it was the best New Year's gift.

After dinner, Ji Yu Heng finally had some private time with Xiao Ning, but he didn't confess as Xiao Ning had hoped, instead just chatting about some daily trivialities. Xiao Ning felt a little disappointed. On the other side, Rao Jing, seeing all the couples at the party, felt even more lonely and decided to give up her seat to someone else.

This scene was seen by Zhao Fang Gang, who seemed to better understand Rao Jing's heart. On New Year's Eve, Ji Yu Heng finally opened his heart to Xiao Ning, sharing his past loneliness and current admiration for her. Though Xiao Ning joked about it, her heart had already been deeply moved by his sincere feelings.

When Ji Yu Heng whispered softly in her ear, the two embraced tightly, their love flowing silently. Xiao Ning curiously asked Ji Yu Heng when he started liking her, and he revealed that he had planned the romance, just waiting for the right timing. In the end, the two held each other closely, their love unspoken but deeply felt.
