Episode 6 recap: Xiaomei's Misunderstood Delivery to Jinzhan
In Episode 6, Jinzhan woke up to find that Yushu's father was already preparing to go to the restaurant, and Yushu had even laid out Jinzhan's clothes for him. Jinzhan curiously examined Yushu's wall of collectibles, and Yushu explained that they were his prized possessions. Yushu had to drop his sister off at school every morning before coming home to get ready for his own classes. While eating his breakfast bread, Jinzhan almost choked - Yushu's sister had secretly seasoned the bread with a special spice. Jinzhan was exasperated.
Xiaomei had been following closely behind Yushu, hoping for a chance to give him a love letter. When Jinzhan appeared by Yushu's side, Xiaomei thought it might be just as good to give the letter to Jinzhan instead. Just then, Heshang came along and asked Xiaomei if she needed any help, adding her WeChat account in the process, which made Xiaomei very happy.
Due to the spicy seasoning Yushu's sister had put in his breakfast, Jinzhan's stomach hurt all morning. Xiaomei had planned to slip the love letter to Jinzhan during the break between classes, but when she went to his classroom, he wasn't there. When Heshang accidentally bumped into Xiaomei, the letter fell from her hands unnoticed. Dushuo saw the letter and assumed it was meant for Jinzhan, so he had Heshang quickly put it in Jinzhan's desk drawer.
When Jinzhan returned, he found the letter in his drawer. Seeing that it wasn't signed, he assumed it was from Dushuo. But Heshang grew angry, since the letter was actually meant for the girl he liked, Xiaomei. Xiaomei returned to her seat and realized her letter was missing, and she was overjoyed to think Yushu had received it, sincerely thanking Heshang.
Jinzhan often got distracted in class, and the teacher would call on him to answer questions, which Yushu would then help him with, not always successfully. Jinzhan wondered who had written the mysterious love letter to him, feeling that he was becoming increasingly popular. To impress Jinzhan, Xiaomei made a point of eating lunch with him. Dushuo, thinking the two were together, went to ask Jinzhan about it. Seeing Dushuo talking to him, Jinzhan became convinced the letter was from Dushuo, and left angrily, though Dushuo tried to get him to go after the "angry" person.
After class, Xiaomei came to find Jinzhan again, but this time Jinzhan deliberately made excuses to avoid her, as he thought Dushuo was jealous of Xiaomei and himself. Heshang sat by the window singing breakup songs, hoping to ease his heartache. Jinzhan asked about the love letter, and when he learned it was from Xiaomei, he quickly introduced her to Heshang, explaining that he only saw Xiaomei as a classmate. Hearing this, Heshang felt relieved, and told Jinzhan that if he had to reject Xiaomei, he should do it gently.
At that moment, Yushu was talking to a female classmate, as she had accidentally stained his clothes. The girl even felt that since Jinzhan had come to their class, both Yushu and Dushuo had been negatively influenced. Yushu was there helping to explain for Jinzhan. In the classroom, Jinzhan was playing a truth-or-dare game with his classmates, and when he lost, he had to hug the next person to walk in, which turned out to be Yushu - but Jinzhan refused, as a hug between two boys would be awkward.
Yushu's pants got stained during a chemistry class, so Heshang stood guard at the back door to let Yushu change. But Dushuo came in the front and caught sight of Jinzhan in just his underwear, and they both screamed in shock. During a school council meeting Yushu attended, Jinzhan's phone, which he had left in his pocket, kept playing a ringtone that called Yushu a "big fool", much to Yushu's embarrassment.
Jinzhan waited in the classroom for Yushu to finish the meeting, planning to switch phones back. Just then, Xiaomei sent a message saying she had gotten everything mixed up - the love letter was actually meant for Yushu. Jinzhan told Heshang the news, realizing his rival was Yushu. Jinzhan's brother urged him to attend an e-sports event over the weekend, where people would be cosplaying. Jinzhan initially declined, but eventually agreed, only to run into Yushu there, cosplaying as Chibimaruko-chan.
Jinzhan suddenly realized Yushu was the one he had been pursuing all along, but Yushu had never told him. Feeling angry, Jinzhan turned and left abruptly.
