> Later, I Laughed Recap
Being blocked by Xu Yunfeng was actually quite a relief for Xiuya. Xiao Lan, however, didn’t understand why and kept asking. Xiuya finally told her that it was because she liked Shi Ye. This news shocked Xiao Lan; she didn’t know whether to be angry or not, so she just put on her shoes and left. Xiuya received a call from Da Yong. He had wanted Xiao Lan to go buy groceries, but he couldn’t reach her.
Xiuya told him that Xiao Lan wasn’t around, but she could go instead. Xiao Lan, lost in thought, wandered out and went to Bang He. Soon after, Xiuya arrived with some vegetable leaves. Xiao Lan glanced at her but didn’t say anything and turned to walk toward the alley behind Bang He.
Liang Dong noticed the strange atmosphere between Xiao Lan and Xiuya, so he grabbed an ice pop from the freezer and went to the back alley to find Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan didn’t want to talk, so Liang Dong just sat with her. Eventually, Xiao Lan couldn’t keep it inside any longer and told him about Xiuya’s feelings for Shi Ye, something Xiuya had kept hidden from her for a long time.
She also mentioned how her parents wanted her to go back at this crucial moment. Liang Dong realized that Xiao Lan wasn’t actually that upset about Shi Ye; she was angry because Xiuya hadn’t been honest with her. He tried to explain why Xiuya had kept it a secret, but Xiao Lan didn’t understand. As he tried to console Xiao Lan, Liang Dong couldn’t help but feel like he was also talking to himself.
He knew that Xiao Lan liked Shi Ye, while he liked her but couldn’t say it, afraid that admitting it would ruin their friendship. Da Yong had invited the landlord out for a meal in hopes of asking for a few months' grace on his rent. However, when the landlord realized it was a trap, he left without even touching his drink.
The four of them were worried about how to approach stand-up comedy, and Xiuya suggested many ideas, but every one of them was shot down by Xiao Lan, who mixed in her personal emotions. Xiuya became angry, and the two of them turned their heads away from each other in frustration. Liang Dong tried to change the subject by suggesting they drink, and both Xiao Lan and Xiuya fought to get the last of the white wine.
Da Yong watched in pain, as that bottle of white wine had been his prized collection for a long time, and now it was being chugged by the two of them. They drank it as if it were water, and when the white wine was gone, they rushed to the bar for more. Liang Dong couldn’t stop them and had no choice but to call Shi Ye for help.
No matter how good their tolerance was, they couldn’t handle drinking like this, and soon both were drunk. The two of them went up on stage, crying and talking. Their close bond was stronger than anything, not even a man could shake it. After they hugged and cried, Liang Dong, still sober, was moved by the scene. He recorded it and sent it to Shi Ye.
When Shi Ye arrived, he mistakenly thought that Xiuya was upset because she had been blocked by Xu Yunfeng. Xiuya and Xiao Lan then ran to the bathroom to vomit. Xiao Lan, still drunk, encouraged Xiuya to go after that man. Xiuya, surprisingly, got up to do just that, but what Shi Ye didn’t expect was that the man Xiuya wanted to pursue was him. Xiuya declared two things, one of which was that she liked Shi Ye.
Without hesitation, she kissed him. Shi Ye told her to think carefully because he was against marriage. When Xiuya said that she didn’t care whether he wanted to marry or not, Shi Ye laughed, turning the situation around to his advantage. He didn’t even care that Xiuya hadn’t brushed her teeth after vomiting. Shi Ye drove Xiao Lan and Xiuya home. Xiuya held onto him and spent the night with him.
The next morning, Xiuya woke up to countless messages from her mother, who was on her way to Shanghai to stay for a few days. Shi Ye, not knowing what was happening, heard the doorbell and opened the door before Xiuya could stop him. Xiao Lan, quick on her feet, said that Shi Ye was her boyfriend and was taking her to the airport.
Xiuya planned to smooth things over with her mother before telling her about quitting her job and breaking up with her boyfriend. So, she and Shi Ye began their secret relationship. Xiuya noticed that the medicine her mother had brought seemed like substandard products, so she threw it out and replaced it with new imported health supplements. What Xiuya didn’t know was that her mother was actually ill and had come to Shanghai for medical treatment. She also hoped to delay surgery and settle Xiuya’s marriage first.
