Spoiler Alert
Honey, this episode had more layers than my skincare routine. Let’s dive into the messy, heartfelt chaos.
The Letter That Hit Hard
On the day Yi Ran’s mom left, Xiao Mucheng showed up with a mysterious box instead of our girl Yi Ran. Later, while cleaning her room, Yi Ran found a gut-punch letter from her mom. The TL;DR? "I wasn’t a perfect mom. Divorce was my escape from unhappiness, but living like a nomad meant I couldn’t take you. Keep the money, live well." Cue Yi Ran sobbing on the rooftop. Enter Miss Bei, the resident mystical queen, who dropped wisdom like, "Only you can fix you." Inspired, Yi Ran yeeted that guilt-ridden bank card into the void. Bye, emotional baggage!
The Ghosting Revelation
Turns out Miss Bei’s been holding a three-year torch for a vanished boyfriend she met… wait for it… on that same rooftop. Plot twist: She wasn’t up there to jump, but to mourn their meet-iversary. Yi Ran, now playing Cupid, strong-armed Xiao Mucheng into tracking down the missing man. Spoiler: Huang Jiawei (the ex) reappears in a wheelchair, revealing he ghosted her due to ALS. Miss Bei’s response? "I’d rather have messy years with you than perfect ones without." Cue collective sniffles.
Pan Yiyi’s Meltdown (& Cake Drama)
Meanwhile, Yi Ran’s BFF Pan Yiyi collapsed from stress (overachiever syndrome + mom’s endless "get married!" nagging). While Yi Ran rushed to her hospital bedside, Lin Youjia swooped in with cake—because carbs solve everything. But the real tea? Xiao Mucheng, low-key jealous of Lin’s snack heroics, booked Yi Ran a solo getaway to his resort. Too bad Lin invited himself along. Awkwardness level: 100.
Resort Wars: Toothbrushes & Tension
The "relaxing" resort trip instantly became a soap opera. Xiao Mucheng and Yi Ran bickered like an old married couple, Lin Youjia side-eyed Xiao’s every move, and Xiao’s dad showed up with Ling Yishu (aka Not-Yi-Ran) to stir the pot. Night one featured Xiao Mucheng making four trips to Yi Ran’s room for… a toothbrush? Sure, Jan. Lin, playing guard dog, warned Yi Ran: "That man’s bad news!" But next day, Xiao petty-kingdomed his way into the car’s front seat, shoving Yi Ran to the back. Passive aggression: activated.
Final Thoughts
This episode was all about messy love—parental, romantic, and the "why are we even friends?" kind. Miss Bei’s storyline? A masterclass in closure. Xiao and Yi Ran’s chaotic vibes? Chef’s kiss. And Lin Youjia’s clingy cake deliveries? We’re side-eyeing harder than he is.
Spoiler Alert for Next Episode:
Daddy Xiao’s playing 4D chess with his son’s love life, and that resort’s about to become a battlefield of awkward glances and poorly hidden jealousy. Pass the popcorn.
