Captain Han Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Xu Nannan was driving on a mountain road, and the radio in the car was playing news about the forest protection team catching poachers. Han Xizhou rode a motorcycle and caught up, mistakenly thinking that Xu Nannan was a poacher. He asked Xu Nannan to stop for inspection and wanted to check the luggage in the trunk.
Xu Nannan quickly stopped him, not allowing Han Xizhou to inspect the luggage, arousing more suspicion. In the midst of the argument, Xu Nannan's sunglasses fell off, and only then did Han Xizhou realize that she was actually Xu Nannan. A chubby guy approached, and Han Xizhou expressed surprise that he was released so quickly. The chubby guy handed over a business card, stating that he had reformed as per Han Xizhou's advice and was now a responsible citizen, working as a business manager for Qixiang Company.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nannan thought about how she had previously reported on Qixiang Company's illegal wildlife trade, but was accused of false accusations and suspended from her job. Xu Nannan took the business card, revealing that she is a journalist. Han Xizhou returned the card to the chubby guy, advising him to be more careful in the future.
Han Xizhou noticed that Xu Nannan was injured and initially wanted to take her to the hospital. However, Xu Nannan insisted that it was just a minor injury and not to bother. She asked Han Xizhou to take her to the medical room at the forest protection team to get it treated. Han Xizhou accompanied Xu Nannan to the medical room, where the local doctor attended to her. After the treatment, Xu Nannan came out and realized that Han Xizhou was no longer there.
Episode 2 Recap
Xu Nannan called Han Xizhou, but he didn't answer. Han Xizhou received a call from someone else. Xu Nannan originally intended to leave but, upon hearing Han Xizhou's voice, she pushed the door open and found him indeed there. Xu Nannan asked Han Xizhou about the chubby guy from earlier, but Han Xizhou didn't say anything. Seeing that she couldn't get any information from Han Xizhou, Xu Nannan had no choice but to leave for now.
The chubby guy told those around him not to bother with Han Xizhou for now and to keep an eye on the woman from earlier. Xu Nannan noticed that her car's tire was flat. Fortunately, a taxi came by, and she got in. Han Xizhou recalled their past experiences together, where they were captured, and Xu Nannan was even hit on the head. He felt he couldn't let her remember those painful moments.
Xu Nannan changed her appearance and entered a shop. The people there said they were closing, but Xu Nannan mentioned that she came recommended by someone to have soup here. She requested a soup with skin, and the owner asked her to show the cash first. The owner spotted a camera in Xu Nannan's bag and quickly had someone apprehend her.
When Han Xizhou came out, he noticed Xu Nannan's car was still outside, and the tire had been deflated. He felt that something was wrong.
Episode 3 Recap
Han Xizhou felt that something might have happened to Xu Nannan and hurriedly came to rescue her. Xu Nannan had been given a considerable amount of alcohol earlier and was now in a drunken and confused state. Han Xizhou brought Xu Nannan back and intended to have others take her upstairs.
The other team members quickly expressed that they were tired after a day's work and didn't have the energy to help. They suggested that Han Xizhou should take Xu Nannan upstairs by himself. Han Xizhou had no choice but to carry Xu Nannan upstairs on his own. Downstairs, the team members discussed their situation, noting that Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time, considering that Han Xizhou had been holding Xu Nannan all day.
Han Xizhou asked Xu Nannan why she, as a girl, dared to go to such a place. Xu Nannan said she wasn't afraid; Captain Han would surely come to rescue her. In her intoxicated state, Xu Nannan sat up and, seeing Han Xizhou in front of her, even reached out to touch Han Xizhou's Adam's apple.
The chubby guy and his group sat around, drinking and discussing the day's events happily. They were pleased that Han Xizhou had previously gotten them into trouble, and now they could retaliate. Han Xizhou arrived on a motorcycle, expressing his desire to join them for a drink and asking if they welcomed him.
The chubby guy quickly had someone bring white wine, and Han Xizhou asked for a large bowl. The chubby guy took the first sip from the bowl.
Episode 4 Recap
Unexpectedly, Han Xizhou spilled his own bowl onto the ground, angering the chubby guy and his group. Han Xizhou told them that if they had any issues, they should take it up with him and not touch Xu Nannan. The next day, Xu Nannan was awakened by a phone call. The caller asked why she came to Lincity and left without saying anything. Xu Nannan explained that she wasn't allowed to work at the newspaper right now, so she came to relax.
Recalling the events of the previous night, Xu Nannan wondered if she had been inappropriate with Han Xizhou. Han Xizhou brought Xu Nannan's clothes in, mentioning that Westia, the gang, arranged the change and owned the guesthouse. Han Xizhou asked Xu Nannan about her intentions, why she dared to go to such a place alone. He emphasized that if he hadn't come yesterday, she might have faced severe consequences.
Xu Nannan revealed that she was a journalist and understood the risks of her profession even better than Han Xizhou. However, she clarified that understanding the risks didn't mean she would avoid them. Xu Nannan stated that if Han Xizhou took the time to understand her more, he would have a different perspective.
Afterwards, Xu Nannan joined Han Xizhou and his team for a meal. She asked if they were recruiting resident journalists and suggested that if she could stay with the forest protection team, she might be able to uncover the truth about Qixiang's activities. The team members mentioned that they had recruited a resident journalist a couple of years ago.
Episode 5 Recap
Xiya opposed Xu Nannan joining the forest protection team, considering their work to be too dangerous. She felt that a girl like Xu Nannan wasn't suitable to be with them. Han Xizhou also disagreed, stating that Xu Nannan had been in Lincity for less than 24 hours, and so much had already happened. If she joined the forest protection team, who knows what might happen, especially since Xu Nannan didn't have official permission.
The leader of the forest protection team came to talk to Han Xizhou, mentioning that Xu Nannan is a journalist who came to interview and publicize their work. Han Xizhou expressed that they didn't need publicity. The leader clarified that it wasn't for personal publicity but for the entire forest protection team. Han Xizhou had to agree to cooperate.
Han Xizhou stated that if Xu Nannan wanted to stay, she had to follow his arrangements. They would meet at the foot of Fengshan at 6 a.m. the next morning, and if Xu Nannan couldn't make it, she shouldn't bother coming. The next day, Xu Nannan joined Han Xizhou and the team, heading into the mountains together. Xu Nannan asked for Han Xizhou's help, but he insisted that if she couldn't handle even this level of intensity, she shouldn't think about joining the forest protection team. Xu Nannan climbed on her own, telling Han Xizhou not to underestimate her determination.
The chubby guy's people noticed Xu Nannan with Han Xizhou and quickly called the chubby guy to ask what to do.
Episode 6 Recap
The chubby guy mentioned that the forest protection team shouldn't lock him up to death, as he would surely come looking for them. He instructed his subordinates not to make a move that would alert the enemy but to keep a close eye on them.
Xu Nannan stated that she had already completed the task of patrolling the forest, and now it was time for Han Xizhou to fulfill his promise. Han Xizhou expressed that he would do his best to cooperate with Xu Nannan's interview, making her quite pleased.
Xu Nannan took Han Xizhou to buy flower wreaths. She got one for herself and wanted to buy one for Han Xizhou too. Han Xizhou remarked that this seemed unrelated to the interview. Xu Nannan explained that Han Xizhou didn't understand; it's to establish a good relationship with the interviewee. Xu Nannan asked if Han Xizhou had never been in love, and Han Xizhou indicated that equations like these should have been discussed with Xu Nannan. Xu Nannan clarified that it was for the authenticity of the interview, asking Han Xizhou to speak for himself. Han Xizhou replied that he hadn't been in love.
Then, Xu Nannan suggested taking photos with Han Xizhou. They took a picture together, and Han Xizhou playfully poked Xu Nannan's cheek. Han Xizhou recalled a previous incident where Xu Nannan poked his face during a photo. Han Xizhou mentioned wanting to take Xu Nannan to a special place and brought her to the wishing tree. Xu Nannan wrote a wish and asked Han Xizhou why he wasn't writing one. Han Xizhou said that what he wished for was already by his side.
Episode 7 Recap
Xu Nannan was surprised to see Chief Wu and asked why he was here. Chief Wu explained that during her suspension from school, Xu Nannan had falsely applied for the position of resident journalist using his name. If she didn't show up, she would risk being expelled.
Han Xizhou was also present, and Chief Wu mentioned that in the few days Xu Nannan had been here, she had been treated as a suspect and kidnapped. It seemed that the forest protection team's work wasn't up to par. Han Xizhou admitted that they had made mistakes before, but they would improve, emphasizing that it was their internal matter.
Chief Wu stayed to have dinner with Xu Nannan and the others. Chief Wu wondered why, if Han Xizhou was so capable, he was only a member of the forest protection team and not a forest police officer. Xiya happened to arrive and was displeased upon hearing this, asserting that Han Xizhou was the most capable person on their side. Han Xizhou found it hard to eat under these circumstances, excused himself, and left. Xiya followed him.
Xu Nannan asked Chief Wu what was going on, why he was speaking strangely today. Chief Wu said he was concerned about Xu Nannan's safety. Chief Wu questioned why Xu Nannan insisted on staying here to report on the forest protection team. If she wanted to be a good journalist, she could pursue other major news stories.
Episode 8 Recap
Xu Nannan told Chief Wu not to worry about these matters; she wanted to stay and complete the report here. Han Xizhou returned, mentioning that they would be patrolling the mountains again tomorrow and asked if Xu Nannan could join. Xu Nannan immediately agreed. The next day, Chief Wu joined Xu Nannan and the team for the patrol. The team members found it very strange, never expecting Chief Wu to come for mountain patrol dressed like that.
Fangcheng observed from the side, thinking that Han Xizhou now had a romantic rival. If Han Xizhou didn't act more decisively, Xu Nannan might be taken away. Chief Wu became tired, so Fangcheng took him down directly.
Xu Nannan saw a photo and was surprised, asking Han Xizhou to take a look. Han Xizhou explained that he took it without Xu Nannan's permission. Xu Nannan clarified that wasn't her concern and asked Han Xizhou to see if it looked identical. She revealed that she had been following in her father's footsteps and had finally discovered what her father found in the woods.
Xiya and Xu Nannan went to collect herbs. Xiya came running to inform Han Xizhou that Xu Nannan was missing, and he asked them to keep an eye on her. Han Xizhou and his team went to search, and Xu Nannan noticed someone following her. She captured the person and asked why he was following her. Han Xizhou arrived and found out it was one of the chubby guy's men. The man threw a bomb, and Han Xizhou quickly shielded Xu Nannan.
Episode 9 Recap
Han Xizhou tackled Xu Nannan, luckily, the bomb was fake, and there was no explosion, relieving Han Xizhou. He helped Xu Nannan up, expressing that this was why he didn't want her to join the forest protection team. The mountainous area was vast, and there were many mosquitoes and rodents; he didn't want Xu Nannan to take unnecessary risks. Xu Nannan argued that Han Xizhou couldn't assume her father didn't want her to be brave. She insisted that she wouldn't be a burden.
Chief Wu and others arrived, relieved to see that Xu Nannan was unharmed. Han Xizhou asked Xiya to apologize to Xu Nannan. Xiya claimed she hadn't done anything wrong; it was Xu Nannan's own actions that led to her situation. While Xu Nannan admitted leaving on her own, she insisted Xiya apologize for deliberately leaving her behind. Xiya reluctantly apologized.
Han Xizhou took Xu Nannan outside and bought her favorite snacks. Xu Nannan was surprised, wondering how Han Xizhou knew her preferences. She shared that Chief Wu was her neighbor and had saved her when she was injured. Xu Nannan admired Chief Wu's good personality and talents, believing that whoever marries Chief Wu would be very happy.
Han Xizhou held Xu Nannan and kissed her. Chief Wu, watching from the side, recalled the incident when he rescued Xu Nannan and took her to the hospital.
Episode 10 Recap
Han Xizhou went shopping with Xu Nannan and bought a lot of food. Both of them were very happy. Han Xizhou accompanied Xu Nannan back to the guesthouse, and Xu Nannan was about to go upstairs. Han Xizhou was somewhat reluctant. After the henchmen of the chubby man returned, they handed him a work notebook, claiming it was found at Xu Nannan's place. The chubby man discovered that it contained notes from many years ago, thinking that Xu Nannan was indeed not ordinary.
Early the next morning, the team members gathered here. It was unclear what had happened in the kitchen. Han Xizhou hurried in to check, only to find that Xu Nannan was cooking, but she had turned the kitchen into a mess.
Xu Nannan explained that she wanted to cook a meal for everyone, but her cooking skills were not good, resulting in the chaotic state of the kitchen. Han Xizhou asked her to leave, saying that he would take care of the cooking.
Xu Nannan realized that the work notebook her father left for her was missing and quickly came to find Han Xizhou. Han Xizhou was sure that it must have been taken by the chubby man's people and went to confront him. The chubby man asked Han Xizhou to search around, but nothing was found, and he claimed that it had nothing to do with him.
Han Xizhou came to negotiate with some people, but they became suspicious when they noticed he was alone. Xu Nannan also arrived, wondering why Han Xizhou left so quickly without waiting for her.
Episode 11 Recap
The people here no longer doubted, allowing Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou to stay and have hot pot. This person felt that Xu Nannan looked somewhat familiar, and both Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou were a bit nervous. The person mentioned seeing Xu Nannan on TV before, saying she resembled a celebrity. Xu Nannan quickly explained that she does indeed look like a celebrity, and many people have said so.
Han Xizhou mentioned that they came a long way to this place specifically for something special to eat and asked if they had it here. The person replied that they would only have hot pot today and wouldn't discuss other matters. Han Xizhou wanted to say more, but the person emphasized their rules and suggested they settle in first.
Inside the room, there was only one bed, a test to see if they were truly a couple. Han Xizhou kissed Xu Nannan and closed the door. Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou purposely made noises, and Han Xizhou found a listening device. They even went to the bathroom to turn on the shower, pretending to be bathing.
Feeling that it was dangerous here, Han Xizhou wanted Xu Nannan to leave first, but she insisted that she didn't want to be a deserter, asking him to trust her. The next day, the people here took Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou to a place, stating that only Xu Nannan was allowed to enter.
Episode 12 Recap
Han Xizhou stated that if only Xu Nannan was allowed in, they could do without the merchandise. Mr. Huang let them in. Mr. Huang mentioned that this time the merchandise was prepared in haste, but next time, as long as the money is in place, they could bring the pandas over themselves.
Unexpectedly, someone gave Mr. Huang a notebook. After looking at it, Mr. Huang realized that Xu Nannan was actually a journalist. Without this information, he would have been deceived by them. Han Xizhou suggested there might be a misunderstanding, but Mr. Huang tossed the notebook into the brazier. Xu Nannan instinctively grabbed the notebook.
A fight broke out between Han Xizhou and them, and Mr. Huang caught Xu Nannan. Han Xizhou didn't dare to act recklessly and was beaten by these people. Xu Nannan broke free, leapt onto Han Xizhou, and was hit with a stool. Xu Nannan remembered the previous incident.
The big guy asked his underlings if they were too careless in giving the notebook to that person. The underling thought Xu Nannan was dangerous and suggested dealing with her. The big guy felt tired of being involved in various matters and even considered taking care of himself. He was responsible for the earlier attack on Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou, thinking that if Xu Nannan found out, he would be caught, so he sought help from the big guy.
Chief Wu came to find Xu Nannan, who asked Chief Wu to repeat the story of how he had saved her before.
Episode 13 Recap
Chief Wu came to find Han Xizhou and asked him what he had discussed with Xu Nannan. Chief Wu stated that Xu Nannan was not a member of their forest protection team at all. He questioned why Han Xizhou kept Xu Nannan in this place, putting her in danger. Chief Wu believed that if Han Xizhou truly cared for Xu Nannan, he should keep her away. Han Xizhou asserted that it was Xu Nannan's own affair, and neither he nor Chief Wu had the authority to make decisions for her.
Xu Nannan arrived at the Wishing House, recalling the time when she and Han Xizhou had been at the Wishing Tree. She asked Han Xizhou why he didn't write a wish, and he responded that what he wanted was already by his side. Xu Nannan saw the wish plaque that Han Xizhou wrote, expressing a desire to meet again.
Han Xizhou came to the temple, reminiscing about the past when Xu Nannan had skipped class to bring him here, claiming that wishing here was especially effective. Xu Nannan joined him and asked if he remembered the first time they came here. Han Xizhou assured her that he remembered. Xu Nannan clarified that she was referring to an event twelve years ago.
Xu Nannan stated that she had remembered everything and saw that on the wishing tree, Han Xizhou had written her name. She asked Han Xizhou why he hadn't come to find her all these years.
Episode 14 Recap
Han Xizhou stated that he had looked for Xu Nannan but, upon seeing her start a new life, decided not to disturb her. Han Xizhou asked when Xu Nannan recalled everything, and she mentioned it happened at Huang's place. Xu Nannan felt that the past incidents were not significant; after all, she had only taken a beating. Now, she remembered all those beautiful memories.
Chief Wu was waiting, and when he saw Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou return, Han Xizhou went to help Xu Nannan pack. Chief Wu apologized to Xu Nannan, admitting his selfishness in not telling her the truth and taking Han Xizhou's place. Xu Nannan, however, did not blame him, acknowledging that Chief Wu had treated her well over the years despite taking Han Xizhou's position.
After finishing packing, Han Xizhou came down, and Chief Wu wanted to talk to him privately. Han Xizhou asked Xu Nannan to wait outside. Chief Wu inquired whether Xu Nannan had remembered everything, and Han Xizhou said not entirely. He hoped that Xu Nannan would never recall the worst part. Han Xizhou admitted that he failed to protect Xu Nannan properly. Xu Nannan asserted that everyone is an independent individual, and it's not his responsibility to protect her.
Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou joined the bonfire party, playing Truth or Dare and enjoying themselves. As fireworks lit up the sky, Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou watched together.
Episode 15 Recap
Xu Nannan moved into Han Xizhou's house and organized recent events. Xu Nannan noticed someone behind her, turned around, but didn't see anyone. Suddenly, someone grabbed Xu Nannan's neck; Han Xizhou woke up from a nightmare. Xu Nannan felt that Han Xizhou couldn't keep worrying about things that hadn't happened. It was too tiring to live like that, so she asked him to smile.
Wearing Han Xizhou's clothes, Xu Nannan went downstairs and was surprised to find all the team members there. Feeling embarrassed, she hurried back upstairs. Xu Nannan asked Han Xizhou if they could skip this meal. Han Xizhou asked if she was shy, but Xu Nannan said she simply wasn't hungry. Han Xizhou mentioned the cool weather, suggesting she change into warmer clothes and come downstairs to eat, considering it as keeping him company. Xu Nannan changed and went downstairs.
Everyone played games, and Han Xizhou and Huya got the task to drink together. Han Xizhou and Huya didn't think it was a big deal, just a game. Huya was looking forward to it, but Han Xizhou wasn't keen on drinking both glasses, and the others didn't insist. Xu Nannan drew a task to eat cookies with the oldest person present, and Chief Wu claimed to be the oldest. Han Xizhou suggested that they compete based on strength.
Episode 16 Recap
Xu Nannan drank quite a bit and asked Han Xizhou why he wanted to compete with Chief Wu. She wondered if he actually cared about more than just winning or losing, perhaps caring about himself. Han Xizhou expressed that if they were together, it wouldn't be as simple as Xu Nannan thought. Xu Nannan assured Han Xizhou not to worry too much about her and expressed her willingness to be with him, but the question was whether Han Xizhou was willing. Xu Nannan asked Han Xizhou to come closer and kissed him.
The next day, Xu Nannan woke up to find Han Xizhou online, looking to buy clothes for her. Feeling embarrassed, she tried to sneak out but was stopped by Han Xizhou. He lifted Xu Nannan onto a chair, and she asked what he was doing. Han Xizhou mentioned the cold weather and the chilly floor, expressing concern that not wearing socks could lead to catching a cold. He squatted down and helped Xu Nannan put on her socks.
While exploring Han Xizhou's computer, Xu Nannan discovered videos he had recorded over the years. Han Xizhou had consistently tried to find Xu Nannan, recording videos during her high school graduation and university entrance exams, wishing her success in the exams and a happy university life. Han Xizhou even visited Xu Nannan's university but chose to watch from afar, afraid of being seen. Seeing these videos, Xu Nannan couldn't hold back tears, realizing that Han Xizhou had always cared about her.
Episode 17 Recap
Han Xizhou happened to return, and Xu Nannan rushed over and hugged him. Han Xizhou was surprised. Fatty's men came to find Xiya, asking for help, claiming to know that Xiya likes Han Xizhou. Xiya said she couldn't help him deal with Han Xizhou. When Fatty asked her to drive Xu Nannan away, Xiya said that only if Xu Nannan left, there would be a chance for her.
Xiya came to find Han Xizhou, saying there was a situation on that side, someone was injured, and she had to go. Han Xizhou assured Xu Nannan not to worry; he would come back soon. Outside, Xu Nannan saw a parcel that had been sent over, and upon opening it, she found it filled with photos.
Looking at these photos, Xu Nannan remembered the time when she and Han Xizhou were beaten, and someone bullied her. Fatty's men called Xu Nannan, asking her to come to them; otherwise, these photos wouldn't be seen by Xu Nannan alone.
Xu Nannan arrived, and Fatty's men warned her to think carefully. If these photos were leaked, who would believe her? Even if Han Xizhou didn't care, others would gossip. Xu Nannan asked what he wanted, and Fatty's men told her to leave Lincheng.
Xu Nannan mentioned the previous incident, saying he was there at the time. One group of people led them away, and another group chased after her father.
Episode 18 Recap
Xu Nannan explained that her father's situation wasn't that simple. Suddenly, someone approached, and Fatty's men were surprised to see him. The person who came was Xiya, stating that he only mentioned making Xu Nannan leave Lincheng but didn't say anything about doing these things. Fatty said that deceiving Xu Nannan into coming also involved Xiya. Without taking some photos as evidence, how would the members of the forest protection team view Xiya? Fatty asked Xiya to help him take pictures. Xiya knocked out Fatty's men, and Han Xizhou's group arrived.
Xu Nannan woke up, and Han Xizhou was by her side, very nervous. He asked how she felt now and if she was uncomfortable. Han Xizhou assured Xu Nannan not to worry; the evidence they now had was enough to send them to jail. Xu Nannan felt that her trip was not in vain, and the matter had finally come to an end. Fatty and his men were now very worried.
Han Xizhou apologized to Xu Nannan, but she said there was no need for him to apologize. They needed to look forward. Han Xizhou asked if Xu Nannan was ready and if she really wanted to face the camera now. Xu Nannan said she was prepared. Han Xizhou overheard other teammates talking about their experiences, realizing they had been through a lot before.
Chief Wu came over, feeling that there were many discussions about Xu Nannan online, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go live now.
Episode 19 Recap
Xu Nannan washed her hair, and Han Xizhou helped her blow-dry it. He reassured her not to worry too much about the outside world, promising to protect her. Xu Nannan insisted that Han Xizhou shouldn't dwell on these matters and didn't need to keep thinking about protecting her. She felt that she had caused trouble for Han Xizhou, but he reassured her, saying she didn't need to apologize.
The next day, Han Xizhou came out, and Fangcheng handed him a pile of letters. Fangcheng mentioned that they had received so many letters; the online trolls seemed crazy, sending letters every day to criticize Xu Nannan, even though she was also a victim. Han Xizhou opened and read the letters, noting that at least one of them praised Xu Nannan for her courage.
Han Xizhou asked Fangcheng to give everyone a piece of paper to write a few words and then deliver it to Xu Nannan along with the letter. Fangcheng handed the letters to Xu Nannan, marveling at how she had so many fans sending letters every day. Xu Nannan asked if Fangcheng was envious, and he quickly admitted that he was indeed very envious.
As Xu Nannan read through the letters, she suddenly sensed something amiss. The font in one of the letters was oddly familiar. She went to Han Xizhou, retrieved his work notebook, and discovered that the handwriting was an exact match. In Han Xizhou's trash bin, she found many crumpled letters, all of them insulting her.
Episode 20 Recap
Han Xizhou came over and was surprised to find Xu Nannan not there. He asked where the other Xu Nannan had gone. Fangcheng produced a letter, saying it was given to Han Xizhou by Xu Nannan. Han Xizhou opened the letter and read it. Xu Nannan expressed gratitude for having Han Xizhou in her life, letting her know that there has been someone loving her all these ten years. However, she felt it was time to leave.
Six months quickly passed, and Han Xizhou was still with the forestry team. In an attempt to catch someone, Han Xizhou, ignoring the knife in the person's hand, tackled him. Wu, the chief editor, was also there, asking Han Xizhou why he didn't take care of himself and if he wanted to record it to show Xu Nannan. Han Xizhou thought it was just a minor injury. Xiya quickly came over to help bandage Han Xizhou.
Han Xizhou was drinking here, and Wu came to see him, suggesting that Han Xizhou should go find Xu Nannan. Han Xizhou said tomorrow is Xu Nannan's birthday, and he planned to take her to a special place. Han Xizhou, accompanied by Wu, arrived at the place, revealing it as his secret base. Every year on Xu Nannan's birthday, he would come here and make a wish to the deity.
Wu asked why Han Xizhou didn't find Xu Nannan, and Han Xizhou said that Xu Nannan needed more time. Wu said that Han Xizhou's wish would definitely come true, and now he seemed to understand why Xu Nannan preferred Han Xizhou over himself.
Episode 21 Recap
Xu Nannan once again came to the wishing tree, looking at the wishes they made before and expressing that for the past 10 years, her love has always been here. Han Xizhou also arrived, saw Xu Nannan, was very excited, and Xu Nannan rushed over to hug him, and the two shared a deep and affectionate kiss.
Back at the forestry team, everyone was delighted, welcoming Xu Nannan back with fireworks. Fangcheng mentioned that during the time Xu Nannan was away, Han Xizhou was like a lost soul, and they all joked around.
Upstairs, Xu Nannan noticed many flowers on the table. Han Xizhou explained that it was all because they knew Xu Nannan was coming back, so they deliberately bought them. On the table, Xu Nannan found a box and, curious, opened it to discover a prank doll with red powder coming out.
Han Xizhou realized that the powder was toxic, making Xu Nannan nervous. He reassured her, instructing her to follow his advice, and everything would be fine. Together, they held the box. Han Xizhou suspected it might be castor powder, which causes paralysis.
Fortunately, the medical team arrived, checked them, and confirmed it wasn't castor powder. Others believed it was likely the work of the chubby guy, trying to cause trouble for them. Han Xizhou's knife wound was reopened but has now been properly treated.
Episode 22 Recap
Xiya and Chief Wu were talking outside. Xiya mentioned that Chief Wu used to be Han Xizhou's romantic rival, and now he has become the guardian of their love. Chief Wu said that Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou have been through a lot, and along this journey, he also feels that they have faced many challenges. Xiya mentioned that if the ricin today was real, rushing in like he did would have been very dangerous. Chief Wu said that at that time, he couldn't consider so much.
Xu Nannan told Han Xizhou about the events of the past six months. She has been busy reporting and writing news during this time, and there's nothing particularly noteworthy. Xu Nannan feels that keeping herself busy is necessary to avoid constantly thinking about these things. Han Xizhou mentioned that he has read all the news Xu Nannan wrote in the past six months.
Chief Wu and Xiya came out. Xiya changed into a new outfit and asked Chief Wu if it looked good on him. He hadn't worn such clothes before, but the owner of the clothing store said it looked great, so he bought it. Chief Wu asked Xiya to wait for him, then left first. Xiya felt a bit puzzled.
Chief Wu suddenly approached and asked Xu Nannan if she still needed those flowers, and if he could take some for himself. Xu Nannan said, "Of course." Chief Wu gave a bouquet of flowers to Xiya, saying he heard that Xiya likes yellow, so he brought some from Xu Nannan's place.
Episode 23 (Ending) Recap
Xu Nannan woke up, and Han Xizhou was there, mentioning that he had already cooked porridge. Xu Nannan took a sip and found that this Eight Treasures Porridge tasted exactly the same as the ones sold outside. Han Xizhou, feeling guilty, kicked the trash can to the side, revealing several cans of Eight Treasures Porridge. Han Xizhou admitted that he did make it but got distracted, ruining the porridge, so he had to buy it.
Xu Nannan and Han Xizhou came out, and Han Xizhou expressed that he had something to say to her. Han Xizhou made a gesture, but instead of fireworks, balloons were released below. Others explained that it was daytime, so fireworks or balloons made no difference, leaving Han Xizhou speechless.
Han Xizhou expressed his feelings to Xu Nannan, explaining that his job was very dangerous, and he would often be busy, possibly with little time to spend with her. Xu Nannan didn't mind and mentioned that she would be busy too, chasing news might even make her busier than Han Xizhou. Han Xizhou confessed that he had no prior dating experience but promised to treat Xu Nannan well.
Everyone teased Han Xizhou to kneel down for a proposal, and surprisingly, he did kneel down on both knees, leaving everyone speechless. Xu Nannan agreed to be with Han Xizhou, and they embraced each other affectionately. Han Xizhou expressed gratitude for meeting Xu Nannan and appreciating the present moments.
