Always Home Episode 2 Recap
> Always Home Recap
Jing Qichi knew that Chen Huan'er hadn't had dinner, so he took her to a place. When Song Cong had dinner that evening, he was absent-minded and barely ate anything. Jing Qichi brought Chen Huan'er to their secret base, which had also become a place for her from that day onward. Song Cong packed some food for Chen Huan'er, and Jing Qichi, seeing she might feel awkward, gave her an easy way out.
Song Cong also brought a few more dishes and told her that if she ever found out that Qian Lina had to work late, she could come to their house for dinner. Everyone in the family compound knew each other, and it was completely normal to eat together. Life in the family compound was great. For instance, no matter what, she was never hungry.
When Qian Lina was in a hurry to go to work and hadn’t prepared breakfast, Song Cong would bring out the breakfast his mother made for her. Sometimes, it was food brought by Jing Qichi from Lin Yifan, but clearly, Lin Yifan’s cooking skills weren’t the best. As for the rice dumplings from Chen Huan'er’s family, they still hadn’t gained the approval of the residents.
Rumors about Chen Huan'er and Song Cong spread like wildfire, and even Qi Qi couldn’t help but ask about them. Chen Huan'er had made significant progress in this exam, and Qi Qi wanted to hear more about it. Chen Huan'er agreed eagerly. Chen Huan'er and Jing Qichi went to Song Cong’s house to have dinner today, and Hao Mei’s cooking was as popular as ever. Jing Qichi was always teasing Chen Huan'er, and before long, they were bickering playfully.
Their noisy exchange made everything lively, and during these moments, Song Cong would quietly watch them and smile. It wasn’t until Chen Huan'er went downstairs to pick up Qi Qi for tutoring that Jing Qichi finally calmed down, sitting obediently to the side, though he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curving up. Hao Mei cut some oranges for them and then hurried out to play mahjong.
Coincidentally, Hao Mei, Qian Lina, Lin Yifan, and Li Tian’s mother gathered at the same table. Qi Qi was surprised, not knowing that their parents all knew each other. Jing Qichi, as if it were the most obvious thing, said, “Who in this compound doesn’t know each other?
”Qi Qi asked why they didn’t go to school with Li Tian, and Jing Qichi explained that Li Tian’s father was the head of the compound, so his mother always pushed him to be the best. Once the joke was over, Song Cong began the tutoring session, and Jing Qichi took the chance to lean in toward Qi Qi. After tutoring ended, Chen Huan'er walked Qi Qi downstairs but accidentally saw her get into her family's car.
Chen Huan'er knew that Qi Qi never walked to school; she just didn’t want to draw attention. Qi Qi, in fact, wanted to blend in more than anyone. She loved the atmosphere of the family compound. Growing up, she had always transferred schools with her parents and often spent time alone. At that moment, the two girls who longed to be loved became good friends.
Last time, Chen Huan'er had commented that Qi Qi's shampoo smelled nice, so Qi Qi had specially given her a bottle. Chen Huan'er was overjoyed. Li Tian scored first in the exam, and his mother decided to host a grand feast. Qian Lina invited Chen Huan'er to go with her the next day. Li Tian’s mother exuded an air of superiority, and Qian Lina urged Chen Huan'er to discuss study tips with Li Tian.
However, Li Tian had grown up in such an environment and was filled with hostility toward Chen Huan'er. Luckily, Song Cong arrived just in time and suggested that Chen Huan'er join him for more tutoring. Qi Qi’s mother found out she hadn’t gone to piano lessons and was very angry, planning to arrange for a tutor. Qi Qi hesitantly told everyone that she might not be able to come anymore.
Song Cong and Li Tian were both planning to study abroad, and Qi Qi had her future all figured out. Chen Huan'er felt envious; everyone else knew what they were doing after graduation, but she had no idea. Jing Qichi, using the excuse of taking Qi Qi to piano lessons, left behind a busy Chen Huan'er, who was tying her shoes. She tried to hide her disappointment, forcing a smile.
Song Cong was deeply affected by what Chen Huan'er had said that day. Was a life planned out like that really going to make her happy? Chen Huan'er returned home and found her father had come back. Qian Lina had made a large meal, and the three of them were happily eating together. During their walk, Chen Huan'er curiously asked her parents what their plans for her future were, but they didn’t have any particular plans.
They followed the philosophy of "health first, happiness first. " Meanwhile, Song Cong was on the court with Jing Qichi, watching him do what he loved, and silently made up his mind to ask the head teacher if he could switch classes.
