Episode 15 recap: Jiang Shi Yan Tries to Avoid Meeting Tang Yang
In Episode 15, Jiang Shi Yan is puzzled about why, on New Year's Eve, Tang Yang pushed him away. After much contemplation, he decides to ask Jiang Ya Nan for advice. During lunch break, he visits the restaurant she manages under the pretense of wanting to eat, claiming his cousin has been going through some things and could use her guidance.
Upon hearing Jiang Shi Yan's situation, Jiang Ya Nan casually suggests that perhaps the girl just sees him as a friend and never considers him as a boyfriend. This comment hits Jiang Shi Yan like a splash of cold water. Could it really be as Tang Yang said? Did he embarrass himself for nothing?
Meanwhile, Sheng Ni Na has internet issues at home and calls Feng Wei Ran for help. Knowing Cheng Hui is still at the office, Feng Wei Ran asks him to check it out. When Cheng Hui arrives at Sheng Ni Na's place for the first time, he brings a router and various small supplies. He’s usually quiet, but since Sheng Ni Na has a few girlfriends over chatting, they discuss Cheng Hui's looks, noting he seems a bit dull and unromantic.
Cheng Hui not only brings the router but also several flavorful sauces, knowing that Sheng Ni Na often eats fast food due to her busy work schedule. After hearing Jiang Ya Nan's comments, Jiang Shi Yan has been avoiding Tang Yang for days. When he learns that Tang Yang is visiting their company, he quickly hides in a corner until Tang Yang leaves, feeling awkward when he runs into Cheng Hui and pretends he was just on a call.
Coincidentally, Tang Yang’s bank has a collaboration with Jiang Shi Yan's company, and to avoid running into her, Jiang Shi Yan asks Feng Wei Ran to meet with Tang Yang. During the banquet, they discuss a famous local wine that requires a six-month reservation. Just as Tang Yang's bank leadership expresses regret over missing it, a server presents the special wine, explaining it was reserved by Jiang Shi Yan specifically for Tang Yang. She had instructed them to save it for when they finally dined together, especially after he missed her birthday last year.
This revelation surprises Tang Yang, realizing he has a special privilege with Jiang Shi Yan. During dinner, Tang Yang learns from Feng Wei Ran about Jiang Shi Yan's business trip and considers messaging her to ask why she didn’t inform her about it. However, after typing out the message, she deletes it, acknowledging that Jiang Shi Yan has been avoiding her but lacking the courage to confront the issue.
The next day, Tang Yang finds an excuse to wait for Jiang Shi Yan outside his home and happens to see her returning with a suitcase. Their eyes meet, and when Jiang Shi Yan looks at her, he smiles, bringing Tang Yang some relief. It’s clear that Jiang Shi Yan is still the same as before, just like in high school, and they remain close friends.
At the bank's wine event, Tang Yang attends with her department leaders and runs into intern Lin Lang, who is wearing a revealing crop top. Lin Lang is now quite close to a certain guy, and when Tang Yang sees her greeting Gan Yi Ming enthusiastically, she feels a bit concerned and reminds Lin Lang not to drink too much.
