Episode 19 recap: Jin Zhao Prepares a Confession Ceremony to Confess to Hong Jie
In Episode 19, as soon as Jin Zhan stepped through the door, he was suddenly startled by his brother Jin Zhao waiting by the table. Without further ado, Jin Zhao grabbed him and said they needed to quickly help him get in shape. It turned out that the day before, when watching a movie, Hong Jie had been full of praise for the actor's muscular physique, igniting Jin Zhao's determination to become the "muscle god" in Hong Jie's heart.
Starting the next day, Jin Zhao began training like a madman. Jin Zhan tried joining in as well, but quickly found himself out of breath, struggling even with the lightest dumbbells. Seeing this, Jin Zhao also tried lifting the heaviest ones, but both brothers were defeated. Just then, Yu Shu walked by, and with a casual lift of his arm, effortlessly raised the dumbbell over his head, leaving the brothers gaping in amazement.
In his quest to build muscle, Jin Zhao began furiously chugging protein powder, but after finishing a whole bag, he suddenly felt unwell - it turned out he was allergic to the powder. Rushing to see Hong Jie, he fainted before he could even speak. Alarmed, Hong Jie immediately rushed him to the hospital. When he woke up, Hong Jie was both worried and touched, praising Jin Zhao as a person who passionately loves life and hopes he'll take good care of himself.
During his hospital stay, Jin Zhao secretly planned a grand confession, summoning Jin Zhan's friends to help. Working together, they created a warm and romantic setup. A banner was accidentally printed in the wrong color, but Yu Shu quickly rushed to reprint it, coincidentally running into Gu Fei. Hearing the situation, Gu Fei, whose family owned a printing shop, immediately offered to help, saving the day.
On the day of the confession, Hong Jie was brought to the scene and saw all the preparations Jin Zhao had made for her, leaving her touched to tears. With flowers in hand, Jin Zhao professed his deep feelings for Hong Jie in front of everyone, and the two finally came together. Amidst the sound of celebratory fireworks and joyous laughter, their love was blessed.
Meanwhile, Jin Zhao also noticed Du Sha's little habits, like disliking durian and having messy hair. He not only helped tidy her hair, but also clipped in a hair accessory, much to Du Sha's amusement and exasperation.
Jin Zhao was busy preparing for the engagement party, and Jin Zhan, seeing his brother's earnestness, was both surprised and delighted, offering his full support. However, on the eve of the engagement party, Jin Zhao was late to class due to the party preparations, and was sternly reprimanded by the strict Du Sha.
On campus, Jin Zhan encountered the worried Yu Shu, who was agonizing over whether to choose Tsinghua or Peking University for his self-enrollment. Meanwhile, He Shang's art grades were unsatisfactory, leaving him unsure whether to retake the year, and Du Sha was torn between studying abroad or staying in China, even angrily throwing away her boxing gloves, until Jin Zhan timely persuaded and encouraged her not to give up on her dreams.
Du Sha's lucky coin became Yu Shu's "lifesaver", helping him alleviate the pressure of choosing a university. Jin Zhan silently observed all this, worried for his friends' futures but also heartened by their growth. As for Xiao Mei, she gathered the courage to confess to Yu Shu, but the timing wasn't right, though her pure feelings still touched everyone.
In this season of change and challenges, each person is striving for their dreams and future. Jin Zhao and Hong Jie's romance, Jin Zhan and his friends' friendship, and everyone's choices and perseverance - these make up the most moving chapters of this youth story.
