《The Early Spring》 Episode 5 plot introduction

Shang Zhitao was so drunk that she couldn't tell her home address, so Luan Nian had no choice but to take her home and put her on the sofa.Tan Mian called and wanted to see him, but he refused unceremoniously.At this time, Sun Yuanzhu was going downstairs to pick up Sun Yu.Sun Yu was wronged at a work event: a female guest concealed her relationship status to participate in the event, and her boyfriend suddenly came to make a scene. She stepped forward to comfort her but was pushed down and sprained her foot.Sun Yuanzhu helped her upstairs distressedly, and the two of them called Shang Zhitao, who had not returned yet, but no one answered.

Shang Zhitao woke up and found that she was at Luan Nian's house. She hurriedly asked if she had lost her temper last night.Luan Nian explained that she really couldn't tell her address, and deliberately mentioned her drunken confession, saying that she still wanted to commit herself.Shang Zhitao quickly emphasized that he would never think like this when he was awake.Luan Nian suddenly asked why the two of them couldn't give it a try.She couldn't tell for a moment whether the other party was serious or probing, but she could only say that she was very good at restraining unwanted thoughts.

Luan Nian approached step by step, but Shang Zhitao couldn't resist and hid in the bathroom.The mirror was covered with moisture, and she wrote “stop” to remind herself to calm down.There was a knock on the door, and she hurriedly erased the writing. But when Luan Nian sent the towel, she still saw the unerased writing through the crack in the door, and couldn't help but laugh.On the other side, Long Zhentian told Sun Yuanzhu that Shang Zhitao was picked up by the leader and had to work overtime. The roommates were relieved, although they were also wondering why they had to work so late.

After coming out of the bathroom, Shang Zhitao faced Luan Nian's approach and no longer avoided it.She knew she had a crush on him and returned his kiss.Sun Yuqia called at this moment to confirm that she was safe and with Luan Nian, so he gave her some room by saying that it was raining outside and it was difficult to take a taxi.Luan Nian once again confirmed that she was awake now and understood what staying meant.Shang Zhitao took the initiative to approach, and the two spent an intimate night.

The next day, Shang Zhitao woke up before Luan Nian. After looking at him for a while, he quietly left, leaving only a note saying "You worked hard last night".Luan Nian woke up and saw the note. After a moment of silence, he sent her a message.Shang Zhitao looked at the phone and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The changes between the two were quickly noticed by their friends.When Tan Mian arrived at Luan Nian's house, he felt something was wrong at first sight; Sun Yu also asked Shang Zhitao what happened last night.Although both of them said it was an accident, neither of them really let go.Shang Zhitao praised Luan Nian for being smart and capable, but also felt that Luan Nian was a little lonely in his life.After hearing this, Sun Yu reminded her that starting to feel sorry for someone often means that the relationship has deepened.Tan Mian felt that Shang Zhitao was different from the women Luan Nian had dated in the past, and he was afraid that Luan Nian would push them away as soon as he noticed someone approaching.

Before leaving, Tan Mian discovered that Shang Zhitao had left his backpack here and joked casually, wondering if this was a case of playing hard to get.Luan Nian kept the joke in mind, looked at the backpack and thought about it for a long time, and finally contacted Shang Zhitao to meet and return the things.Sun Yu thought this was a good opportunity and specially helped Shang Zhitao put on makeup and send her out.

After getting in the car, Shang Zhitao deliberately sat in the back row, looking forward to it but also wanting to maintain a sense of proportion.When Luan Nian saw her dressing up seriously, she remembered Tan Mian's words and asked her directly if she left the bag on purpose so that he could send it over on his own initiative.Shang Zhitao's expectations were suddenly dashed. She felt that the other party regarded her intentions as calculations, and was also worried that he was afraid of getting entangled with her.She immediately said that last night was just an accident between two adults and she would not cause him any trouble in the future, and then got out of the car.

Back at the shared house, Shang Zhitao told Sun Yu what had happened, feeling that he and Luan Nian might not be able to get together at all.She decided to put her mind back to work first and enroll in classes to learn English well. Rather than speculating about her relationship, it was more important to establish a foothold in Beijing first.Tan Mian was very helpless when he learned that Luan Nian had taken the joke seriously and asked him in person. He urged him to apologize quickly.

Luan Nian thought of Shang Zhitao's back when he left, and felt that she had spoken too harshly, but instead of explaining directly, she called to buy a limited edition bag.The store said that the bag had been reserved, and he proposed to buy other gifts and asked the clerk to help coordinate.While Shang Zhitao was waiting for discounted bread at the bakery, she received a message from him to meet again.Thinking of working together in the future, she went anyway.

Luan Nian handed the bag to Shang Zhitao, but she refused to accept it.She hoped that the two of them would put aside what happened that night, and asked him not to change his evaluation of his work ability because of their personal relationship.Luan Nian did not explain her apology clearly, but asked her if she still wanted to continue the relationship if she did not accept the gift.When Shang Zhitao faced him, the embarrassment he had just calmed down surged up again.
