> Falling Into Your Smile Recap

After a silent night, Tong Yao woke up and led her parents downstairs, only to be stunned by the scene before her. The once-empty morning living room was now bustling with activity—everyone was already dressed and busy with their own tasks. Seeing Uncle and Auntie come down, Xiao Pang warmly greeted them and briefly introduced the abundant breakfast spread before excusing himself with a smile. Lao K, who was usually reserved, also greeted them enthusiastically.

On the other side, Lao Mao was uncharacteristically lifting a dumbbell, pretending to exercise while muttering English phrases. Lu Sicheng and Ming Shen were discussing game strategies as they walked in from the entrance. Spotting the newly awakened elders, they paused to greet them as well. After breakfast, Tong Yao accompanied her parents as they left.

While waiting for their ride, her mother gave her a few words of advice, seizing the opportunity to casually inquire about Lu Sicheng’s family background. As Tong Yao turned back to the base after sending her parents off, she suddenly noticed Lu Sicheng standing behind her. Perhaps having overheard the conversation, he smirked smugly and told her to come in for the team meeting. During the meeting, team manager Xiao Rui discussed the four-protect-one strategy with everyone.

In the middle of the discussion, Lao Mao interrupted to head downstairs and collect a package. Shortly after, he returned carrying multiple parcels—all of them were gifts from Tong Yao’s fans. As Xiao Pang and Lao Mao rummaged through the gifts, they unexpectedly found a package from Jian Yang. Lao Mao read aloud Jian Yang’s ambiguous message on the envelope, leaving Tong Yao both furious and embarrassed.

While the others joked and laughed, Xiao Rui entered the room to inform everyone that training sessions would start at 9 AM from now on, prompting a chorus of groans from the team. The next morning, everyone was forcibly woken up by Xiao Rui for morning exercises. Groggy and yawning, they had no choice but to comply. Under Lao Mao’s lead, they began their morning training. Back at the base, Lu Sicheng had already started his livestream.

Unaware, Tong Yao approached him for a chat, causing an uproar in the livestream chat. Seeing an opportunity, Xiao Rui joined in to discuss livestreaming with Tong Yao. In the end, Tong Yao reluctantly agreed to his request. Meanwhile, Chen Jinyang, having received Tong Yao’s urgent call for help, arrived at the base in a flashy sports car. Dressed in a loose T-shirt and denim shorts, she looked effortlessly chic.

Opening the door for her, Lao Mao was instantly captivated by her beauty, shamelessly showing off in an attempt to impress her. As it turned out, Tong Yao’s so-called "preparation" was just putting on makeup. While applying their makeup, the two women chatted casually. When they finally went downstairs, Lu Sicheng was momentarily dazed upon seeing Tong Yao’s made-up face.

On the other side of the scene, Ai Jia, who had been zoning out, instantly recognized the sound of the car engine and knew his girlfriend had arrived. Excited, he ran over while calling out her name, only to be completely ignored by Chen Jinyang. Watching her car drive away, Ai Jia let out a deep sigh of disappointment. At the ZGDX club, Tong Yao finally started her livestream.

With nothing better to do, Lu Sicheng decided to mess with her. He read chat messages aloud while sarcastically mocking her, disrupting her focus so much that she couldn’t play properly. Unsurprisingly, the first livestream match ended in failure. Frustrated, Tong Yao found herself unable to outargue Lu Sicheng and had no choice but to leave her seat. That night, Xiao Rui and Lu Sicheng discussed the upcoming training match while Xiao Rui confiscated Lu Sicheng’s secretly stashed lollipops.

Meanwhile, in an interview, TAT team member A Tai brazenly mocked ZGDX, calling them cowards. His statement immediately sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens, leading ZGDX’s boss to issue a direct order to accept the challenge. With no other choice, Xiao Rui and Lu Sicheng debated the matter, but Lu Sicheng strongly opposed it, fearing that Tong Yao’s confidence would be shaken. This angered Xiao Rui, who raised his voice in frustration.

When Xiao Rui demanded an explanation, Lu Sicheng finally revealed his reasoning—through his description, the team realized that A Tai was not an opponent to be underestimated. Eventually, Xiao Rui was convinced. Just as the two were about to return to their rooms, they discovered four eavesdroppers outside. Lu Sicheng frowned slightly, while Xiao Rui, caught in the act, decided to lay everything out. Unfazed, Tong Yao immediately expressed her stance. That night, the training match began.

Before the game started, Lu Sicheng reminded Tong Yao to be cautious of A Tai. However, due to the sheer difference in skill, Tong Yao was quickly killed. The team hurried to comfort her, but the gap in ability was too overwhelming—her confidence wavered. Staring at the black-and-white screen, her emotions grew increasingly complicated. After the match, her teammates tried to console the disappointed Tong Yao. Ever prideful, she put on a strong front and held herself together.

As the night deepened and everyone retired to their rooms, Tong Yao, still reeling from her loss, started another game alone. However, the previous defeat weighed too heavily on her mind, and she inevitably lost again. Her emotions grew even more tangled.
