Half a Lifelong Romance 情深缘起 Episode 17

Shi Cuizhi saw that Xu Shuhui really left herself in the hotel alone, and she was so angry. On the other side, Shen Shijun interrogated Xu Shuhui and learned that Shi Cuizhi had ran away from home and lived with Xu Shuhui for several days. Xu Shuhui quickly denied that, Shen Shijun asked Xu Shuhui to propose a relationship in an upright manner.

Shi Cuizhi talked to Gu Manzhen, and Gu Manzhen gave Shi Cuizhi a cup of coffee as a landlord. Shi Cuizhi praised Xu Shuhui for his thoughtfulness and meticulousness, and recommended Xu Shuhui to Gu Manzhen, saying that the two were right in Yemen. When Gu Manzhen saw Shi Cuizhi talk about Xu Shuhui, his eyes were full of love. Shi Cuizhi didn't like Gu Manzhen's pretense, scolding Gu Manzhen and Xu Houhui for being considerate of others. In fact, they were cowardly and irresponsible. Gu Manzhen was burdened with notions.

Shi Cuizhi ran into Shen Shijun at the hotel and was caught by Shen Shijun and wanted to call home. Shi Cuizhi persuaded Shen Shijun, saying that he would escape when he returned. Shen Shijun helplessly begged Shi Cuizhi to let Xu Shuhui go. Shi Cuizhi said that Shen Shijun didn't understand what their women thought, so he should let the considerate Gu Manzhen clean up Shen Shijun. Only then did Shen Shijun know that the two had just chatted.

Shen Shijun went to Gu's home to look for Gu Manzhen, and met his eldest sister Gu Manlu. When Manzhen is not at home, Man Lu brings Shen Shijun to Paramount, trying to solve Shen Shijun's prejudice against him. On the Paramount stage, Man Lu told Shen Shijun that her youth, sweat and tears were all here. Desolate sweepers like Xiao Ruyi were once the top brand in Paramount's scenery. Fengchen woman's appearance is beautiful, and there are all kinds of sadness behind her back. Gu Manlu just wanted Shen Shijun to know that she was not a monster.

Gu Manzhen talked to Xu Shuhui, told Xu Shuhui of Shi Cuizhi's contribution, and persuaded Xu Shuhui to summon the courage to be with Shi Cuizhi. Xu Shuhui was inspired by Gu Manzhen's words.

Later, Xu Shuhui bought a variety of Shanghai snacks to please Shi Cuizhi. Shi Cuizhi kept picking the bones in his eggs, and Xu Shuhui patiently recommended each snack. In order to express his sincerity to apologize, Xu Shuhui also asked for public leave to accompany Shi Cuizhi. Shi Cuizhi's anger was almost gone. Xu Shuhui also said that he would put aside all his worries and cherish every minute of being with Shi Cuizhi even in the end of the world. Shi Cuizhi was happy and dragged Xu Shuhui out. Xu Shuhui took Shi Cuizhi's hand to take pictures and play in various scenic spots in Shanghai, and also took Shi Cuizhi on the tram. Shi Cuizhi, who took the tram for the first time, was very novel and found it fun.

On the other side, Chairman Shi heard Shi Cuizhi running away from home, furious, and sent Zhu Hongcai to the world to check Shi Cuizhi's whereabouts.

Shi Cuizhi wanted to watch the movie, but Xu Shuhui did not buy a ticket. In order not to disappoint Shi Cuizhi, Xu Shuhui took Shi Cuizhi to watch the movie from the backstage. Shi Cuizhi saw a movie like this for the first time and found it interesting. Xu Shuhui said that this is the way of the poor, and it is better not to evade fares next time. Shi Cuizhi proposed to ask her father to book the entire theater to watch a movie next time, and Xu Shuhui's face was instantly pulled down. Shi Cuizhi immediately stopped talking about his father, and wanted to be together with Xu Shuhui.

In the evening, Gu Manzhen worked overtime downstairs to type. Gu Manlu felt sorry for Gu Manzhen making money to support her family, and persuaded Gu Manzhen to cherish Shen Shijun. When Gu Manzhen heard Shen Shijun's name, he was no longer typing.

The next morning, Shen Shijun went to Gu's home to find Gu Manzhen and wrote an apology to Gu Manzhen with a small blackboard to express his love. Gu Manzhen forgave Shen Shijun instantly, holding Shen Shijun, saying that he would try to change the concept of thinking too much and doing too little. Zhu Hongcai saw Gu Manzhen and Shen Shijun close at the alley, and also saw Miss Shi and Xu Shuhui appear holding hands, making Zhu Hongcai stunned.

After Gu Manzhen went home to release the information, Zhu Hongcai sneaked into Gu's house and questioned how Gu Manzhen got involved with Miss Shi. Gu Manzhen ran up to Shen Shijun in a panic, and told Shen Shijun the news, worrying that Chairman Shi would implicate Xu Shuhui when he knew about it. Shen Shijun felt that he could hide for a while but could not hide for the rest of his life.
