Spoiler Alert
Grab some tissues, folks—Episode 20 is all about healing (and not just the physical kind). Let’s unpack this emotional avalanche.
Jiang Nanfeng’s Awkward Realization
Turns out, grumpy-but-hot coworker Lao Yan isn’t just some rando—he’s Jiang Nanfeng’s long-lost middle school classmate! Even wilder: the dog she adopted years ago? Yeah, that was his pup. Cue Jiang sitting at home, side-eyeing her furry BFF like, "Why didn’t you bark this tea sooner?!" The guilt is real. Will this revelation thaw her icy office demeanor? Stay tuned.
Shan Shan’s Stand-Up Moment (Literally)
The Shan family serves up the episode’s biggest tearjerker. Prosthetics finally arrive for wheelchair-bound Shan Shan, and big bro Shan Chong lets her unbox the life-changing gift herself. After years of sitting, she stands—wobbly but radiant—as her mom sobs into her shoulder. Bonus: A video call to crush-turned-cheerleader Dai Duo, who gets misty-eyed declaring, "You’ve always been perfect." Cue collective "Aww!" from viewers.
Shan Chong’s Comeback Gambit
Plot twist at the New Year’s Eve dinner: Former skiing prodigy Shan Chong drops the bomb that he’s returning to the ice… right after his sister’s accident caused by skiing. Mom freezes like a Disney villain mid-song, then silently hands him ski gloves—her blessing. (Cue Shan Chong’s internal scream: "YESSSS BUT ALSO PLEASE DON’T DIE.")
Wei Zhi’s Silent Support
Shan Shan calls Wei Zhi to gossip about her brother’s big move, but Wei—ever the chill queen—refuses to distract him with sappy calls. Instead, she stalks his training progress online like the rest of us stalk exes. Priorities!
Lao Yan: From Brooding Hottie to Marketing MVP
Newly hired Lao Yan starts at rock bottom (handing out flyers), but his face card never declines. Ladies swarm to "help" him work… and snag his WeChat. Jiang Nanfeng watches this thirst parade like, "Oh hell no," and drags him to client meetings to fast-track his career. Night shifts? They’re now a rom-com montage of takeout and shared spreadsheets. Ship name: #JiangYanFire?
Shan Chong vs. His Own Ambition
Spoiler: Training montages aren’t all glory. Desperate to regain peak form, Shan Chong overdoes drills and ends up with a pulled muscle. Coach delivers the ultimate tough-love speech: "Talent won’t save you from being a dumbass." Lesson learned… maybe.
Verdict: This episode’s like hot cocoa after a snowstorm—warm, a little messy, and heavy on the feels. Next week’s teaser? More Lao Yan/Jiang tension, Shan Chong’s slow-burn comeback, and probably another 10 reasons to cry. Buckle up!
