The First Frost Episode 18 Recap
> The First Frost Recap
During a class at Nanwu University, Sang Yan was distracted and kept refreshing train ticket bookings. Standing at the entrance of Yi He University, he peeked inside but didn’t see the person he was looking for. So, he took a picture and quietly left. At the Beiyu tunnel collapse site, firefighters were carrying out an intense rescue operation.
Wen Yifan was setting up a camera for a live news broadcast when a frantic mother rushed over, pleading for them to save her daughter. Qian Wenhua assigned Wen Yifan and Fu Zhuang to stay overnight for continued coverage. The next day, Wen Yifan returned to the hotel. She had just replied to Sang Yan’s message when she fell asleep. By the 46th hour of the rescue, firefighters discovered a little girl named Xiaoyu.
Crying, she begged them to save her father, who had sacrificed his own chance to escape to protect her. At the hospital, Su Tian interviewed Xiaoyu’s mother, Ms. Li. It turned out that she and her husband had already divorced, and she was about to take Xiaoyu overseas to immigrate. This trip had been their farewell journey. Although there was a secondary collapse, the rescue team still managed to save Xiaoyu’s father, Shi Lei.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sang Yan sent a message to Wen Yifan, reminding her that there were only nine days left until his birthday and asking her to bring an apple back for him. That was when Wen Yifan realized it was Christmas Eve. As soon as she returned to the hotel, she called Sang Yan and told him she had been busy.
Before hanging up, she wished him a happy Christmas Eve and sent him a drawing of an apple. On the sixth day after the accident, thanks to the relentless efforts of the rescue team, the danger at the site had been eliminated. The story of Xiaoyu and her father had gained significant online attention, so Qian Wenhua asked Wen Yifan to stay a few more days for follow-up reports.
During an interview, Xiaoyu cried and said she didn’t want to go abroad with her mother. Shi Lei explained that he had agreed to the divorce back then because his ex-wife could provide Xiaoyu with a better life. In a private conversation with Ms. Li, Wen Yifan learned that, although she didn’t want to give up custody, she also believed that being able to stay peacefully with the person she loved, without regrets, was the greatest happiness.
Just past midnight, Wen Yifan sent Sang Yan a birthday message. Although she couldn’t make it back in time, she had ordered a birthday cake for him. Sang Yan replied that he could postpone his birthday celebration for a day this year. It had been raining nonstop in Beiyu, leaving the streets damp. Wen Yifan visited Beiyu High School and retraced the paths she used to walk with Sang Yan.
She also went to the noodle shop they used to frequent, which remained unchanged. For once, she took a picture and posted it on her social media. As she recalled their rainy-night breakup, she remembered how dazzling Sang Yan had been back then. Yet, at that moment of parting, she saw an expression on his face she had never seen before. She thought to herself, Sang Yan deserved all the best things in the world.
With that in mind, she made up her mind and called him, asking him to consider her pursuit. The rain showed no sign of stopping. Wen Yifan sat by the window, thinking that she might never return here again. Just then, a familiar voice sounded behind her. Sang Yan had come in, holding an umbrella. He told the shop owner that he was here to pick someone up. She suddenly recalled a past conversation they had in this very shop.
She had once said she wanted to open a small, stress-free store where customers could stay as long as they wanted, eat a bowl of noodles when hungry, and enjoy music playing in the background. Imagining the two of them running such a shop together, Sang Yan found the idea warm and comforting. He told Wen Yifan, “When I have enough money, I’ll buy this place and open a cozy little shop for you.
”Hearing this, Wen Yifan was reminded of the first time she had worked overtime. The feeling of familiarity hit her again. As they stepped out of the shop, Sang Yan opened the umbrella but didn’t move. Looking into Wen Yifan’s eyes, he said, “Have you noticed? After all these years, I still only like you. ”Wen Yifan told him, “If you think words like that are too sentimental, then from now on, I’ll be the one to say them.” After confirming their relationship, Wen Yifan made a special trip to buy two real apples for Sang Yan.
