The Promise of Growing Up Together Episode 10 Recap
> The Promise of Growing Up Together Recap
Lin Ruolei met with the director alongside Zhang Ruoxi. Upon returning to the dormitory, she told Xia Mi that the meeting went very well. Zhang Ruoxi had been attentive and considerate throughout, and their cooperation felt seamless. Xia Mi, feeling a bit envious, picked up the handmade crown Zhang Ruoxi had given her for comfort.
On the day of the recording, Lin Ruolei was stopped repeatedly by the director, who thought her expressions were too stiff and lacked the liveliness of a student. Xia Mi, sitting in the audience, made silly faces to cheer Lin Ruolei up and help her smile more naturally. Following Lin Ruolei’s gaze, the director noticed Xia Mi’s bright and genuine smile and immediately called her on stage to demonstrate for Lin Ruolei. Xia Mi’s performance on stage was natural and confident.
The director asked Lin Ruolei to emulate Xia Mi’s expressions for the next take. During a break before resuming the recording, Zhang Ruoxi and Xia Mi were laughing and chatting in the lab. Lin Ruolei, intending to remind Zhang Ruoxi about the time, entered the room. Xia Mi accidentally bumped into a beaker, causing it to shatter on the floor.
Lin Ruolei reached out to pick up the glass shards, intentionally cutting her finger, hoping to gauge Zhang Ruoxi’s concern for her. However, Zhang Ruoxi didn’t seem to care, while Xia Mi hurriedly went to buy a bandage. Fan Yuan stepped in to help clean up the broken glass. After the promotional video was completed, several classmates commented on how well Zhang Ruoxi and Lin Ruolei suited each other, both in appearance and temperament.
Unwilling to listen, Xia Mi walked to the sports field to clear her head. Zhang Ruoxi chased after her, explaining the difference between acting and real life, and once again found a way to cheer her up. Lin Ruolei was approached by a man at the school gate who demanded money from her. She claimed she only had enough for meals, but the man didn’t believe her and continued to pester her.
Just then, Xia Mi exited the school and saw Lin Ruolei being harassed. She stepped in to help, but Lin Ruolei quickly handed the man 50 yuan to make him leave. When Xia Mi suggested calling the police, Lin Ruolei grabbed her arm and told her not to interfere further. Later, Lin Ruolei apologized for her harsh tone, though Xia Mi didn’t take it to heart. Back on campus, the notice board displayed photos of Zhang Ruoxi and Xia Mi.
Jealous, Lin Ruolei defaced Xia Mi’s photo with a pen. The next day, a group of students gathered around the notice board, whispering about the vandalized photo. Lin Ruolei falsely accused Jiang Li from Class 7, but Xia Mi brushed it off as unimportant. To comfort Xia Mi, Zhang Ruoxi also scribbled on his own photo until it was unrecognizable. As the students prepared for the division between arts and sciences classes, Zhang Ruoxi asked Xia Mi about her choice.
Fan Yuan guessed that Xia Mi would definitely choose arts, while Zhang Ruoxi wanted to choose the same stream as Xia Mi. When asked about his choice, Zhang Ruoxi said he hadn’t decided yet. Meanwhile, Liu Dayou and Xiao Junyi were also worried about the upcoming division. They casually mentioned that Qin Zeyang always lost to Fan Yuan, which Qin overheard. Frustrated, Qin issued another challenge to Class 1.
Class 1 wasn’t intimidated, and Xia Mi wrote a reply to the challenge on their behalf. When the two classes confronted each other in the hallway, they were caught by Teacher Dai, who gave everyone a stern lecture. After a small English quiz, Xia Mi’s poor performance motivated her to focus on science and math subjects. Both Zhang Ruoxi and Fan Yuan offered their notes to help her study, and Lin Ruolei also shared her English notes.
In return, Xia Mi shared her Chinese notes with them. Inspired, Xia Mi came up with a plan to surpass Class 2 by collecting and distributing notes from the top students in each subject to everyone in their class. After an intense period of study, the results of the placement test were announced: Fan Yuan ranked first, Zhang Ruoxi second, and Qin Zeyang third. Class 1’s average score was still higher than Class 2’s, but Class 2 refused to accept defeat, vowing to overtake them in the future.
