Episode 12: Xie Qiao swings between Qin Chuan and Yang Cheng
Lu Qianran discovered that Xie Qiao had changed after following Yang Cheng home to meet her parents. Xie Qiao began to reflect on her feelings. At the moment of life and death, the first person she thought of was Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan was desperate and risked his life to protect her safety. Lu Qianran thought that person was Yang Cheng.
The last SARS patient in the People’s Hospital where He Xiaozhou’s mother was treated was cured and discharged. The hospital’s lockdown was completely lifted. Xiao Qianxi came to the door of the hospital early and saw He Xiaozhou standing at the door from a distance.
On July 13, 2003, the global SARS was brought under control, and the school resumed normal study and life. Xie Qiao dreamed that she came to the cafeteria to look for Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan couldn’t help but want to kiss her. Xie Qiao was awakened by the dream, and she also had a different confession to Qin Chuan. Although Xie Qiao resisted desperately, she still thought of Qin Chuan all the time.
Qin Chuan bought a shop before SARS, and now it is fully unsealed. He and Dalong are going to start selling pancakes. Qin Chuan reported the matter to Wang Ying. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Xie Qiao felt sour and silently reminded himself that he had Yang Cheng as her boyfriend. From that day on, Xie Qiao avoided Qin Chuan everywhere, deliberately refusing to answer his phone calls, but Qin Chuan didn’t know it at all, and pulled Xie Qiao to talk about business.
Cao Xiang asked Qin Qian to discuss with Tan Hui about opening a flagship store, because his investment in Singapore had just failed and he had no money to invest. Qin Qian felt that she had no idea and advised Tan Hui to think about it. Tan Hui did not want to miss this good opportunity. He Xiaozhou’s mother’s condition deteriorated, and the doctor could do nothing, so he suggested to leave the hospital and go home to recuperate. He Xiaozhou was unwilling to give up, and begged his father to save his mother, but he had already sold the house to treat his mother, and his father could not borrow any money.
The school launched the Imperial College of Technology’s postgraduate and doctoral exchange program. Xiao Qianxi wanted to apply to study abroad with He Xiaozhou. He Xiaozhou couldn’t afford the high tuition fee, and he was worried that his mother would not be able to support him to return from studying abroad. Qin Chuan found that Xie Qiao was always avoiding him, so he couldn’t figure it out, so he had to ask Wang Ying for help, and Wang Ying told the story between Yang Cheng and Xie Qiao.
Yang Cheng wanted to study in Brunel, England, and he wanted Xie Qiao to go with him. Xie Qiao was worried that he would not pass the exam and could not afford the high tuition fees. Yang Cheng promised to help her pay, but Xie Qiao politely declined. Qin Chuan thought that Xie Qiao had an endocrine disorder, so he bought a lot of tonics for her, and Xie Qiao was so angry that he couldn’t laugh or cry.
Qin Chuan learned that Yang Cheng was going to study abroad, and advised Xie Qiao not to think about it. Xie Qiao wanted to know Qin Chuan’s feelings for her, but he swallowed the words again, and Xie Qiao decided to continue to be good friends with Qin Chuan.
Xiao Qianxi handed in the application form for studying abroad, and also submitted the application for He Xiaozhou. He Xiaozhou was very dissatisfied. He wanted to stay with his mother to fulfill his filial piety. Xiao Qianxi advised him not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He Xiaozhou suddenly received the bad news of his mother’s death. He was so sad that he couldn’t bear to live. Xiao Qianxi was always by his side.
Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao rushed to the hospital when they received the news of He Xiaozhou’s mother’s death. They accompanied He Xiaozhou to burn paper for He Mu to see him off. They remembered the delicacies that He Mu made for them during her lifetime. The three of them remembered He Mu together. After He Xiaozhou took care of his mother’s funeral, he agreed to study abroad with Xiao Qianxi. With his unremitting efforts, he successfully got a full scholarship from Imperial College of Technology, but Xiao Qianxi ended in failure.
Two months later, He Xiaozhou set off to study in England, Xiao Qianxi, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao came to see him off, Xiao Qianxi gave him the blessing of square six, and the two said goodbye. Tan Hui invested all his wealth in the flagship store, and gave Cao Xiang 10% of the shares for free. Qin Qian fully supported his decision and vowed to share weal and woe with him.
