Sunshine through the Rain Episode 4

Gossip and sabotage

The roller blade exam went better than I expected. Chen Yan Zhou has the bruises to prove his efforts. During their last exam he was sabotaged with someone throwing an answer page at him. Zheng Yu was out of it herself eating expired food so she kept out of the clinic and barely survived her exam. However, this meant she wasn’t as observant as usual. That obsessed Xie Yu Di is behind the sabotage for the test and is trying to steal the money from the two that deserve it. 😝 She is being black mailed for 30k for the semester and her mother and lab is being threatened. Her curiosity got the better of her and she asked on a campus chat room what happened to Chen Yan Zhou’s big brother. This started the gossip mills running and now after the test and his participation and then disappearance from the lab that studied the same topic as his brother, he is being hounded on many fronts with intrusive gossip and speculation. His guilt about whatever happened made him read too much and it is seriously impacting his demeanor and mindset tho he’s burying himself in his work to survive. Zheng Yu told her debt collectors what they needed to hear, not what she thought but Chen doesn’t knew that. He did ask her directly but she’s a science major and she works with facts. She doesn’t think he had a reason to cheat, but she doesn’t know why he would be targeted. So their doubts about each other have them working separately rather than together. She also dropped some paperwork in the lab which will most likely end up in hands it isn’t supposed to. I really don’t like the Xie Yu Di character and now that he knows she’s blocking his calls he’s going to be an even bigger pain in the ass. At first I thought he was doing it to help her out in a sick way, but the asshat did it to knock them both down and give the money to the next runner ups. Hopefully they will get their act together before it does some real harm to their efforts. She feels bad about the unexpected degree of gossip in the matter and erases her question, but she is well aware of the pain she inadvertently caused Chen Yan Zhou. There is nothing new about this drama as far as plot goes, but, the music, filming and interaction of the cast makes this an excellent watch. I find myself looking forward to the new episodes to see how they resolve things and to watch the budding friendship between the leads. Their personal struggles and their mutual work/study centric lifestyle gives an interesting spin on why they are the way they are and hope that with each other’s help, they will get past their struggles and find new purpose and hope for themselves.
