Begin Again Episode 3 Recap
> Begin Again Recap
Early in the morning, Mai Youge waited outside the hotel to meet Xu Junle, and the two began a new day of adventures. Meanwhile, Han Junhao and Chen Jiahui focused on their respective training and work, seamlessly going through the day like everyone else in Macau. Noticing the ledger Mai Youge always carried and never parted with, Xu Junle guessed that she had planned out another day of tightly scheduled activities.
He suggested she follow his plan for the day instead and experience Macau from the perspective of a local. Although Mai Youge was hesitant, she decided to trust him, hopping on the back of his motorbike as they headed to an unknown destination until their surroundings became more open and expansive. They arrived at the seaside, where they walked along the shore, greeted by the sea breeze.
Xu Junle noticed that Mai Youge was once again taking photos, tense as always. To help her relax, he suggested playing a 20-question guessing game. Gradually, Mai Youge became intrigued, coming closer to the answer with each question. When she finally guessed that the word Xu Junle had in mind was "Mai Manfen" (Mai Full Score), she was taken aback.
Xu Junle explained to her that while she couldn’t always achieve perfection, every moment she had spent in Macau so far had been perfect. Touched and surprised by his words, Mai Youge understood his intention—he wanted her to truly relax and experience Macau with her eyes and heart, not just through her phone’s camera lens. The two then strolled along the streets of Rua da Felicidade as the setting sun cast a warm glow.
Sitting side by side on a bench, Mai Youge expressed how long it had been since she’d simply sat quietly, letting the wind ease her mind and body. When Xu Junle asked if there was any place she particularly wanted to visit, she mentioned her desire to see a pink sunset in Altay. Hearing this, Xu Junle brought her to a mountaintop, where they overlooked the shimmering lights below.
While he couldn’t give her Altay’s pink sunset, he offered her the golden sea of lights before them. On the way back, Xu Junle took Mai Youge to an outdoor band performance where the lead singer happened to be a friend of his father’s. The lively atmosphere was infectious, and everyone invited Mai Youge to join in the dancing. Though initially reserved, she eventually let herself get carried away by the crowd’s enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiahui accompanied Isabella to a bar for some dancing, where they ran into Han Junhao. The two danced together, thoroughly enjoying themselves, and even planned to have a drink afterward. However, an unexpected “obstacle,” Ella, showed up midway. Although Han Junhao didn’t know Ella, Chen Jiahui misunderstood and assumed he was a playboy, leaving the bar with Isabella. Frustrated by Ella’s persistence, Han Junhao drove off in anger.
As the day came to an end, Xu Junle personally escorted Mai Youge back, even buying her a late-night snack. Knowing she would soon leave Macau, he felt deeply reluctant but still smiled as he said goodbye. That night, Mai Youge worked tirelessly to finish her proposal and sent it to Wu Kaitong. She quickly received an email requesting a meeting in the conference room, leaving her excited and fully prepared.
However, Xu Junle didn’t receive any message from her, leaving him feeling lost. In the conference room at Starry Sky Hotel, Mai Youge presented her proposal to Senior Vice President Xu Junhao, Wu Kaitong, and others. As she explained her ideas, memories of the past few days with Xu Junle filled her mind. The warmth and humanity reflected in her proposal moved Xu Junhao, who was very impressed. Meanwhile, Yvonne and Chen Jiahui discussed Marlena’s works.
Yvonne remarked that Chen Jiahui and Marlena were completely different. Chen Jiahui was overly protective of herself, always staying in her comfort zone and keeping everything under control. This often made it hard for her to understand Marlena’s genuine creative emotions. Han Junhao, still thinking about Chen Jiahui, used his insomnia as an excuse to visit Zhou Huafu’s Chinese medicine clinic with the matchbox she had given him.
Doctor Huang Zhong, noticing his inner turmoil, performed acupuncture and mistakenly guessed his profession. Coincidentally, Chen Jiahui was in the next room. She also misunderstood, assuming that Han Junhao was there for back problems caused by overindulgence. Before Han Junhao could explain, Chen Jiahui left with her bag. Despite this, Han Junhao learned from Dr. Huang that Chen Jiahui worked at an art gallery connected to the Starry Sky Hotel.
