Episode 17 recap: Weekend Camping Trip: Jin Zhan and Yu Shu's Wish
In the 17th episode, on a sunny weekend, the much-anticipated camping trip had arrived. Jin Zhan had specially donned his vibrant, colorful shirt, exuding an extra zest for the outing. He noticed that Yu Shu not only showed up as planned, but had also brought her trusty notebook, a testament to her insatiable thirst for knowledge.
Teacher Li and Chen Xiao Hong sat side by side, adding a warm, familial touch to the journey. Meanwhile, Du Sha cleverly positioned herself next to Yu Shu, seemingly seeking a unique experience. After Xiao Mei joined, Jin Zhan graciously ceded his spot closer to He Shang, whose face beamed with contentment, creating a harmonious and delightful scene.
On the other hand, Jin Zhao lingered alone in a cafe, puzzled by Hong Jie's words, unsure if they were sincere or merely playful banter. As she wavered, Hong Jie suddenly appeared in her line of sight. A query from a subordinate interrupted Jin Zhao's thoughts, but she seized the opportunity to invite Hong Jie over to her place to watch TV together that evening, an invitation which Hong Jie readily accepted.
In the afternoon, Du Sha was immersed in the tense atmosphere of exam preparation, her nose buried in books. The group set up tents in a vast open area, while Jin Zhan and Yu Shu busied themselves with grilling, their playful banter drawing the attention of onlookers, particularly Gu Fei, who observed the scene with mixed emotions. Jin Zhan quietly revealed that he had a special surprise planned for Yu Shu later that night.
Xiao Mei and Du Sha encountered Hong Ze Feng while taking photos, and out of curiosity, they invited him to join their group shot. During the process, Du Sha noticed the scars on Hong Ze Feng's hand, a remnant of when he had nearly stumbled while helping her earlier. Feeling grateful, Du Sha not only gave him some ointment but also personally applied it, a gesture that softened Hong Ze Feng's gaze.
Meanwhile, Jin Zhao continued to ponder how to confess her feelings to Hong Jie, carefully weighing her words. As night fell, a bountiful dinner spread impressed Hong Jie, and Jin Zhao summoned the courage to express her heart's desire, vowing to persist until she earned Hong Jie's acknowledgment.
To Jin Zhao's pleasant surprise, Hong Jie responded with an affirmative answer.
Meanwhile, during the photo-taking incident involving Jin Zhan and Yu Shu, Xiao Mei tried to muster the courage to confess her feelings, but was temporarily deterred by Yu Shu's attentive care. Jin Zhao arrived at the opportune moment, bringing the surprise of a wishing card. The two of them hung the card on a large tree in the wilderness, expressing their hopeful wishes for the future.
Teacher Li noticed Chen Xiao Hong's melancholy and learned that she had just ended an unsuitable blind date. Li gently grasped her hand, expressing his deep affection and promising to prove his love through his actions, even offering to enter into marriage immediately. Chen Xiao Hong was taken aback by the sudden confession, blushing furiously as she shyly fled the scene.
As night fell, Yu Shu came alone to the wishing tree, confirming that the wishing card was safe, yet a sense of unease inexplicably grew within her. Du Sha noticed Yu Shu's distress, and Jin Zhan soon arrived as well, having realized that Yu Shu's phone had run out of battery and she was afraid to leave on her own. Not only did Jin Zhan find Yu Shu, but he generously gifted her his outdoor watch as an emergency backup.
Gu Fei had felt disgruntled by Jin Zhan's prolonged absence, but the joyful weekend getaway soon came to an end.
The next day, Yu Shu noticed Jin Zhan's absence from class and, upon learning that he had taken a sick leave, couldn't help but feel concerned. After school, he immediately contacted Jin Zhao and learned that Jin Zhan had actually taken leave due to a toothache, and the traces of blood on the coffee table had been a false alarm.
Yu Shu hurried to Jin Zhan's home, diligently caring for him, cooking porridge and feeding him. The bond between the two was quietly growing in the little moments.
