The White Olive Tree – Episode 7 Recap: Li Zhan and Song Ran Make a Wish Together

Li Zhan, Song Ran share moments, help refugees but food's scarce. Romance blooms amidst chaos.

Li Zhan took Song Ran to Highway No. 7 where the fighting had already ceased. Both sides had agreed to meet at the military base in Hepu City, where the mercenaries, who had just finished their battle, started showing interest in Song Ran. Li Zhan felt a bit jealous and was very protective of her, which made Song Ran very happy and even a bit shy. While driving on Highway No. 7, chatting joyfully, Song Ran suddenly noticed that Li Zhan had a wound on his neck. She gently checked his injury, and their eyes met, sparking a moment of budding romance. Song Ran carefully cleaned Li Zhan’s wound; they were so close they could feel each other’s breath.

After driving a bit further, Song Ran spotted a group of refugees by the road, a little girl nestled in her mother’s arms without food. Li Zhan stopped the car, and Song Ran got out to give her food. Seeing someone with food, other refugees gathered around. Li Zhan quickly stepped in front of Song Ran to protect her. The refugees then organized themselves into a line, waiting for Song Ran to distribute the food. Seeing the plight of the refugees, Song Ran distributed all the food she had, but it wasn’t enough. Watching the hopeful yet disappointed faces of the remaining refugees, Song Ran felt deeply sorry and admired how these people maintained order and politeness even in hunger.

After some more travel, they came across a beautiful scene with white olive trees, under which they made their wishes. Li Zhan reported the refugee situation to Jiang Lin via walkie-talkie. Song Ran hoped for a positive response, and indeed, Jiang Lin decided to help the refugees, which made both of them very happy. Unknowingly, Song Ran fell asleep and in her sleep, she held Li Zhan’s hand. Li Zhan moved very slowly to not wake her and drove steadily.

Meanwhile, Benjamin discovered some children sneaking into the camp to pick flowers. Pretending to be stern, he let the children go. Just then, he saw Pei Xiaonan arriving. He used the flowers the children had picked to approach her, but Sarin mocked from the side, saying the flowers were stolen. Pei Xiaonan accepted the flowers cheerfully, and Benjamin took the opportunity to invite her to dinner, which she accepted but made him do some hard work since she was there to deliver medicine to the camp. Benjamin thought Sarin was jealous because he liked Pei Xiaonan, but Sarin denied it, claiming he was there for an interview and then left.

Li Zhan and Song Ran finally arrived at the military base where they met Pei Xiaonan. Seeing Li Zhan’s injury, Pei Xiaonan was concerned. Song Ran and Pei Xiaonan shared a drink while Song Ran recounted the day’s events.
