Episode 12 recap: Xu Chengzhou Decides to Divorce Chen Zhu
In Episode 12, Lu Xingyan and Shen Xingru work closely together to successfully arrange for Zhang Xu and the crew to scout locations, while Shen Xingru stays in the editing room to carefully sift through materials. Lu Xingyan thoughtfully takes Zhang Xu and the others to enjoy spa services at the resort. Zhang Xu doesn't think much of it, simply feeling that Lu Xingyan's gesture carries deeper meaning.
The recording of the show is adjusted based on audience votes, resulting in Shen Xingru and Xu Chengzhou becoming special guests with the privilege to choose whether to go on a date. This puts immense pressure on Xu Chengzhou, especially as he watches Chen Zhu quickly develop feelings for Evan, leaving him anxious and helpless. It turns out that Chen Zhu's date with Evan is just a ploy to make Xu Chengzhou jealous, with no genuine feelings involved.
Meanwhile, Jiao Jiao, seeking to enhance the show's drama, persuades Zhang Xu to encourage Shen Xingru to join the date, creating a love triangle for added intrigue. Considering the audience's perspective, Zhang Xu ultimately convinces Shen Xingru to participate.
During the lottery segment that determines the date partners, Lu Xingyan, Shen Xingru, and Lawyer Zhai find themselves intertwined by fate. They interact harmoniously, with Lawyer Zhai, an old high school classmate of Shen Xingru, singing her praises and acknowledging her irresistible charm, a sentiment echoed by Lu Xingyan. Lu Xingyan cleverly uses Lawyer Zhai's professional image as a theme, showcasing his charisma while skillfully avoiding any misunderstandings, which puts Shen Xingru at ease.
Lu Xingyan is both surprised and delighted by Shen Xingru's sudden involvement. They agree to talk in-depth that evening to resolve their feelings. Meanwhile, Chen Zhu's date with Evan becomes the focal point of Xu Chengzhou's secret observations. In Evan's gentle presence, Chen Zhu reflects on her relationship with Xu Chengzhou, feeling that his immaturity is exhausting her.
Evan notices Chen Zhu's inner turmoil and suggests she communicate directly with Xu Chengzhou. As night falls, Chen Zhu musters her courage to visit Xu Chengzhou's room. However, misunderstandings run deep; Xu Chengzhou mistakenly believes Chen Zhu is there to discuss divorce and bluntly expresses his desire to end their relationship. Although Chen Zhu did not intend for this, her strong-willed nature prevents her from arguing further, and she quietly leaves.
On the other hand, Shen Xingru arrives at Lu Xingyan's room as planned, but their reunion joy is abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door, creating an immediate tension. This unexpected twist may be a small test in their romantic journey, but it also deepens their appreciation for each other.
