Later, I Laughed Episode 5 Recap

With everyone present, Xiuya had to accept Zheng Hao’s proposal, but this seemingly successful proposal left scars in both Zheng Hao and Xiuya’s hearts. After the wedding, Xiuya refused to go to the wedding room with Zheng Hao. She went back alone, and it rained on the way. She remembered that she hadn’t taken her bag, so she returned to the hotel, casually picked up the red wine on the table and took a sip. She accidentally saw the bouquet on the stage, then went on stage and talked to herself, pouring out all her complaints and depression. This is the real Xiuya, eloquent, articulate, a natural stand-up comedian. Suddenly, she understood herself, she knew what she really wanted. Just then, Xiaolan came back from abroad and rushed to the hotel.

Xiuya took Xiaolan to find Zheng Hao, who was in the wedding room, returned the ring to him, and proposed to break up. Zheng Hao couldn’t figure out why Xiuya had just agreed to his proposal ten minutes ago and now wanted to break up with him. On the first day of her new life after the breakup, Xiuya went shopping and eating with Xiaolan. Zheng Hao used to forbid her from wearing shorts, saying that it was unprofessional, but now she wants to be her true self. She started wearing shorts and joined the boys’ basketball team with Xiaolan. Xiaolan returned home without telling her parents, so she had to ask Xiuya to help cover for her when her mother called. Xiaolan knew that she was not the type to study, and it was better to lie down for a year after returning home than to waste time studying abroad.

Xiuya took Xiaolan to the stand-up comedy club, the small bar called “Bang He”. Xiaolan’s hair accidentally got caught on Liang Dong’s clothes, which made Liang Dong feel a certain affection for Xiaolan, but Xiaolan was attracted to Shi Ye, who was performing stand-up comedy on stage. Xiuya went on stage and performed a stand-up comedy, and then the boss Cao Zhiyong introduced Liang Dong, Shi Ye and others to Xiaolan. Learning that the bar lacked a bartender, Xiaolan offered to be the bartender in exchange for meals. The two left the bar and saw Shi Ye’s RV outside. Xiaolan saw that the car was obviously modified by Shi Ye himself, and she became even more fascinated by him. On a seemingly relaxed weekend, an invisible pressure weighed on Xiuya’s heart. Zheng Hao did not reply to her messages, and she wondered if he had no waves in his heart after the breakup?

Xiuya was about to go to work when she suddenly found the ring in her bag. She was shocked. After asking Xiaolan, she realized that she had indeed gone to Zheng Hao that day, but she was slurring her words and then vomited on Zheng Hao. Xiuya regretted it for a while. In the next few days, she tried to contact Zheng Hao to formally break up with him, but Zheng Hao was very busy with work, and Xiuya had no chance to see him. Learning that Shi Ye was camping in the park, Xiaolan and Xiuya came to the park to find Shi Ye and met Shi Ye’s girlfriend. Xiaolan was very generous and admitted that she liked Shi Ye. She had a similar personality to Shi Ye’s girlfriend, and the two got along well. Xiuya waited in the parking lot on purpose to break up with Zheng Hao, but although Zheng Hao agreed to break up, he said it was not now.

Now is a critical moment for Zheng Hao to be promoted to director, and Zheng Hao does not want the breakup to affect his career. The chairman happened to come, and Xiuya was forced to act with Zheng Hao again. Later, Xiaolan guessed that Zheng Hao might want to delay until Xiuya changed her mind. Xiuya denied it because she felt that Zheng Hao would not play this kind of junior high school trick with her. But in fact, Zheng Hao had already heard Xiuya’s breakup that day, but he pretended that it had never happened, and in the next two days he also found various reasons to refuse to meet. He thought that after Xiuya proposed to break up, she would secretly hide in the quilt and cry, but Xiuya was watching stand-up comedy and laughing from time to time.
