Uncle Ah Li suggests to Ah Cai that he should try to find a girl for XG and get her married, someone who can take over the restaurant later, as well. AC comments that he needs a guy who wants XQ too. At this moment, Ah Jin bursts into the restaurant. He reveals that he has become her father's apprentice!! Finally revealing his "Love Plan", he says that after he learns everything, he will marry XQ and inherit the restaurant. Furthermore, he tells "Jiang Monster" (ZS) to go to "whatever ABC university" so he will be far away from XQ (and he can make his move).
ZS's mom playfully suggests to ZS that he doesn't have to go to Tai Da and if he wants, he can become a chef. Of course, ZS's dad objects, coming to the main problem, which is that he wants someone to take over his company and he feels waiting for Yu Shu to grow up is too long. ZS's mom brings up the issue of XQ and what will happen to them if he goes to Tai Da.
At this time, the drunk ZQ bursts out: "Enough of this!" She continues:
"Everyone here keeps making decisions for other people. Did anyone even bother to consider how Zhi Shu and I feel about this? .... Let me tell you all something... Zhi Shu... he wants to decide his own future. Regardless of whether he wants to be a chef or go to Tai Da, why can't you all just respect his opinions? Let me tell you all, that Zhi Shu... he has his worries also. He has many, many worries. [places a hand on his cheek]. So no matter what... you all must *falls over, drunk*"
Even though she was drunk, XQ does a good thing at this moment, by voicing ZS's opinions when he could not himself. In the car ride home, XQ is still drunk and causes trouble my climbing into the front seat, making a hilarious and a little overdone scene. When she returns to the backseat, she sits in between ZS and Yu Shu. She begins to stroke YS saying, "ZS... ZS...." while the ACTUAL ZS watches carefully. She cries:
"Do you know that I actually do not want you to go to Tai Da either. I really hope that I can study at the same university as you. But.. But... you're so smart. You must help society, the country and many, many people and do a lot of good things. I can't even do that!! :'("
This causes ZS's mom to start tearing up. Then XQ throws up. Eww. Seeing this, YS also wakes up and throws up in ZS's hand. In the morning, ZQ does not remember anything that happened or anything she said the night before while drunk. ZS is coughing and does not feel well. XQ helpfully gives him some cold medication. After taking it, ZS asks "This medicine shouldn't make me drowsy right?". XQ reads the bottle and sees that it says that you shouldn't take it when you need to concentrate. This is perfect because ZS is about to take a big, important examination. *facepalm*
She then tries to forcefully grab it from his mouth when he has already swallowed it, so basically she is just shoving her fingers in his throat and making him gag. Feeling bad, she accompanies him to the testing center. When ZS asks why, since she didn't want him to go to Tai Da anyway, she says that she never said that (she doesn't remember anything she said while drunk). As they are walking, XQ is shown to be struggling with some sort of stomach pain.
They finally arrive at the testing center but as soon as ZS enters the building, XQ passes out. When ZS hears the commotion outside, he rushes out and runs to XQ's side. She dismisses it and tells him to go take the test and do his best and that she will be okay. He then scoops her up in his arms and runs to the nearest hospital.
At the hospital, the doctor tells ZS that she has a large intestine infection. ZS smartly inquires about the origin and its implications because... he's a genius! The doctor compliments him about his knowledge and then he gets hit on by a bunch of cougar nurses. When XQ wakes up, her father and ZS's mom are by her side at the hospital. They are telling her about how she is not that sick and can go home tonight when ZS walks in, giving himself (because his mom and XQ's dad are there) and his mom (at this time, he should still be in the exam, but clearly he is not, as he is in the hospital) a shock! ZS only explains not taking the exam by the fact that he was hungry so he went to get some food.
Sidenote: This all makes you wonder... how much does ZS care about XQ if he was coming back to XQ's room at the hospital, not because he had to, but because he wanted to?
ZS's mom and XQ's dad urge ZS to go back and take the exam. Hearing this, XQ begins to cry because she realizes that this is all her fault. Later that night, there is a tense situation in the Jiang household because ZS did not take the exam. XQ's dad then enters, apologizing profusely at ZS's dad's feet for XQ's terrible act that caused ZS to miss the exam. However, ZS's dad admits that ZS never really wanted to go to Tai Da and this event has only been an excuse to not take the exam.
After nightfall, XQ makes up her mind to leave the house, packing up all her stuff and running away. Being her clumsy self, she drops things everywhere, making a giant racket. She tries to leave a note, but then drops a figurine, breaking it. -____- At all this, ZS emerges from the darkness, still awake. He watches her for a while:
As she is leaving, he suddenly speaks out, asking if she needs help. He then tells her if she wants to try running away again, to not wake up the whole world with noise. She tells him not to stop her. He asks, "Looks like you've forgotten about Uncle Cai...? You're going to abandon your father now?" She tries to come up with an answer, but then he says "Idiot! Just because I didn't take the exam, you're going to run away?" heheAfter realizing what she is doing, XQ explains how she feels bad about always causing ZS trouble and putting him through chaos. At this, ZS counters that missing the exam was not all her fault and that after he took her to the hospital, he could not find a reason to justify to himself about taking the exam.
Then ZS says "To be honest, ever since you came to my house, my life has been affected by the unpredictable. Unanticipated/unexpected situations seem to have increased. This is different than before. It's actually quite amusing. [secret smile]. So that's why I think if we continue on like this (living together), its not so bad." *giggles* he wants her to stay!!
The drama cuts to the end of vacations and the first day of college! ZS's mom has picked out two "perfect" outfits for XQ:
When she comes down wearing the pink suit, YS only has one reaction: she looks an elevator lady. To ZS's mom's disappointment, he is not wearing the PINK SUIT she picked out for him. Matching couple outfits, lol. Off to the first day of college!~ End of Episode 8 ~
