《The Early Spring》 Episode 20 plot introduction

Shang Zhitao was about to return to Beijing and made an appointment with Luan Nian to make a video call later to see Luke together.Luan Nian said that he was almost home, but in fact he was driving to find her, wanting to surprise her by showing up suddenly.Shang Zhitao walked downstairs and met Sun Yuanzhu who came to see her first.He brought wild flowers picked from the mountains and told him bad news: his mother passed away.

Sun Yuanzhu couldn't help crying and said that he had been working hard, but life still didn't turn out the way he expected.Shang Zhitao looked distressed and hugged him to comfort him.Luan Nian, who was coming, happened to see this scene and drove away alone without asking why.After returning home, Shang Zhitao told Sun Yu the news, and Sun Yu immediately bought a ticket for the next day.She was already familiar with the route to find Sun Yuanzhu, and sometimes flew there just to have a meal with him.

When she called Luan Nian again, Shang Zhitao clearly felt his coldness.He didn't want to make a video call and said he was going to the United States and might not have time to contact me in the next two days.News spread among the company group that he and Song Ying were on a business trip together. Some people felt that the two were well matched in terms of background and conditions.Shang Zhitao saw the discussion, but did not directly doubt his feelings.

Back in Beijing, Lumi was very happy to see her and told her that Luan Nian was originally going to be on a business trip for a month, but he had come back early and asked her to report on her work.Only then did Shang Zhitao realize that the other party did not tell him when he returned to Kyoto.When they arrived at the office, Luan Nian only talked about business matters, as if there was nothing else to say between the two of them.

She waited until he got off work, confessed that she missed him, and asked him if he felt the same.He angrily denied it, and instead blamed her for talking intimately with other men while saying she missed her.Shang Zhitao took out a photo of him having dinner with Song Ying, explaining that he had never made things difficult for him and hoped that he would respect her as well.She loves him, but she will not abandon all her friends for love; in those most difficult days, her friends are always by her side.

After the argument, Luan Nian still drove her home.She got out of the car and knocked on the window to finish her words, but he ignored her at first, until she was about to turn around and leave, and finally got out of the car.She asked why that day passed suddenly, and he asked her why she was crying.Shang Zhitao explained that Sun Yuanzhu had just lost his mother and he was just comforting his friends.Luan Nian then put aside the misunderstanding and explained the reason why he rushed there: he really wanted to see her.Watching his car drive away, Shang Zhitao had a smile on his face again.

In the subsequent work report, Shang Zhitao talked about his changes since joining Lingmei, which was recognized by Liang Xin and Luan Nian.Sun Yuanzhu had helped a lot when preparing the report, and she wanted to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude.Sun Yu also said that when she was with him recently, she could finally see smiling faces again.Both of them thought that he was going through the most difficult days little by little.

But when they went to find Sun Yuanzhu, there was news that someone had fallen from a building nearby.Sun Yu received a call from the police, and Shang Zhitao recognized his glasses at the scene. The unbelievable facts gradually became clear.Sun Yu stood there, almost unable to react, and the two of them could only hold each other and cry together.After the ambulance left, she still dreamed of seeing Sun Yuanzhu walking out of the sun. She looked again, but he was not in front of her.

Shang Zhitao went home and cooked a bowl of noodles and wanted Sun Yu to eat some.Sun Yu sat in the darkness, remembering that Sun Yuanzhu would always take care of everyone like this in the past, eating heavily but unable to stop crying.Shang Zhitao didn't know how to comfort her. She had already gotten up and returned to her room, closing the door.

While packing up the belongings, Sun Yu found the letter written by Sun Yuanzhu.She had hoped that the two of them would continue to be together, but in his letter, he hoped that she would get married, have children, and have a stable life in the future, but he could not imagine himself being the one to accompany her.Those unspoken words were now left on paper, and Sun Yu never had the chance to ask questions face to face.

She also brought the diary related to Shang Zhitao.Only then did Shang Zhitao realize that the flowers he had received one after another were actually from Sun Yuanzhu.He remembered that she said she wanted a bouquet of flowers, so he sent them to her quietly but never left her name.He wrote about his appreciation for her in his diary, but also about the heavy burden brought by his family; after his mother's death, the unresolved pain deepened.

Shang Zhitao couldn't help crying as he read it.Sun Yu said that she actually always knew who he liked, but she didn't care because she liked such a gentle person.She reached out to wipe away Shang Zhitao's tears, and the two could only stay with each other, slowly facing the residence without Sun Yuanzhu.
