Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Episode 4 Recap
> Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Recap
Zhao Qiang still refused to admit to the method Cao Xuanxuan uncovered about the disappearing house. She brought in Zhang Qin as a witness. Faced with overwhelming evidence, Zhao Qiang finally confessed, though he denied harming Zhang Qin’s daughter, Xiaohua. Guo Zijie analyzed the events of the day, and with Xiaohua awake, she came to the county office and personally identified Zhao Qiang. Seeing no way out, Zhao Qiang admitted to his crimes in court. With the case resolved, everyone celebrated.
The imperial envoy was impressed with Guo Zijie. That evening, the four gathered for drinks. During the celebration, Cao Xuanxuan subtly probed to see if anyone else had experienced a similar time-travel situation. However, Guo Zijie couldn’t decipher her intention and found her odd questions irritating, dampening the mood. Cao Xuanxuan had no choice but to stop asking. Thanks to his success in solving the case, Guo Zijie’s elder brother became furious and even lashed out at his servants.
Early the next morning, news came that Zhao Qiang had died in custody. While Guo Zijie didn’t seem too affected, Cao Xuanxuan remarked on his strong composure, suspecting he wasn’t the kind of person to be easily rattled by such news. For her role in solving the case, Cao Xuanxuan obtained the Yancheng Log but discovered that only Guo Zijie could write in it.
She urged him to complete the log quickly, only to find that the original log didn’t include clues about the Fox Spirit case. She speculated that her arrival might have caused a butterfly effect, making her worry about returning to the modern era. Despite his anger, Guo Zijie’s elder brother brought him a generous gift to show support in front of their father. Guo Zijie feigned ignorance and credited Cao Xuanxuan for solving the case.
Suspecting Guo Zijie was “playing dumb,” Cao Xuanxuan admitted to solving it but claimed her methods were inspired by stories she had heard. Guo Zijie’s elder brother suggested a marriage between the two as a test, but Guo Zijie deflected by using their father as an excuse. Guo Zijie’s father summoned him and urged him to marry soon. Guo Zijie remained indifferent, prompting his father to drop the topic.
Instead, his father brought up Cao Xuanxuan, suspecting that she might actually be her missing elder sister. He mentioned that the elder sister had a crescent-shaped birthmark on her back, a detail he shared with Guo Zijie. Sun Weiyan and He Chun were strolling through the street when a cart suddenly collided with Sun Weiyan, knocking him down. Though his injuries weren’t serious, they still hindered his ability to travel.
Feeling guilty because the accident happened while they were joking around, He Chun offered to carry him. Initially embarrassed, Sun Weiyan eventually agreed. The two finally located the place where a Western painter had been selling his paintings, but the painter had already left, leaving an old man in charge. That evening, He Chun brought Sun Weiyan home to rest.
However, since there was only one bed, He Chun offered it to Sun Weiyan and sat in a chair to sleep. As he prepared to sleep, Sun Weiyan naturally blew out the candle. Terrified of the dark, He Chun cried out when the room went dark and ran to Sun Weiyan’s side. Sun Weiyan searched for a fire striker, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t relight the candle.
Left with no choice, he stayed by He Chun’s side, keeping her company throughout the night. Meanwhile, Guo Zijie was writing the Yancheng Log. To help him finish quickly and stay aligned with the original timeline, Cao Xuanxuan gave him notes based on her previous readings of the log. Though Guo Zijie copied them, he seemed unwilling. At this time, Sun Weiyan returned, and Cao Xuanxuan asked him about the painter.
They learned the painter’s stall location and that the original painter had gone to a wedding. Since Guo Zijie happened to know about the event, Cao Xuanxuan asked for his help. The four of them went to the wedding together, but due to the large number of guests, there weren’t enough rooms for everyone to have their own. Cao Xuanxuan proposed sharing a room with He Chun.
