Following an incident where Nian Nian and Shen Yi become excessively intoxicated and retire to another room, Xu Mu and Xie Shi are left with no alternative but to sleep together in the same bed. In the midst of slumber, Xu Mu finds herself nestled against Xie Shi. Upon waking up, she discovers herself embraced by him. Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she feigns sleep when Xie Shi awakens.

The awkwardness follows her to the breakfast table. She tries to make small conversations to cut the tension. Meanwhile, Xie Shi receives a call from an unknown number. He takes a look at the number and his expression changes. He immediately declines the call and sends a text to the mystery call, asking them not to call him again. Xie Shi notices Xu Mu trying to have a peek and assures her that it is not a girl.

Following her work hours, Xu Mu sends a message to Xie Shi, but receives no reply. Trying to reach him by phone also proves fruitless. Upon returning home, she can’t locate him anywhere. After Xu Mu eventually enters their room, she discovers Xie Shi lying on the bed, his body overheated with fever. Immediately, Xu Mu applies cooling patches, prepares porridge for him, and stays by his side until he falls asleep.

The following day, my father – who’s been bothering me with relentless phone calls – stands outside my apartment door. He demands money from me, and when I decline, he resorts to physical aggression. He shoves me, grips my collar, and menaces to wreck my mother’s belongings. With no other alternative, I hand him my bank card.

From a distance, Xu Mu observes the situation. She decides it’s best to reach out to Xie Shi’s aunt to learn more about his background. His aunt shares that as a child, Xie Shi and his mother endured abuse at the hands of his father, who was addicted to gambling. When his mother became ill, he held his pride close and refused help, instead learning to use both hands effectively. Sadly, his mother eventually passed away.

Learning about Xie Shi’s painful history, Xu Mu feels a deep sorrow. Rushing home immediately, she wraps her arms around him. She expresses her desire to create a family with him in the future. The pair then share an emotional moment, their embrace filled with understanding. Xie Shi admits that he has no regrets about his past because it shaped him into who he is now.

What happens in The Best Day of My Life episode 12’s ending?

As I delved deeper into the latest episode, I stumbled upon an old school magazine belonging to Xie Shi, marked with a particular date and her name. When I inquired about the notation, he shared his past, revealing some intriguing events from his 11th grade year. He had moved to Jiangbai to live with his aunt during that time. The moment I passed by him on the street, carrying an injured cat, he confessed he had fallen for me at first sight.

Following this encounter, he found himself running into her frequently yet failed to gather the nerve to engage with her. Upon switching schools, they ended up sharing a desk. He went to great lengths to shield her from difficulties. However, he adopted a reserved attitude to conceal his emotions.

Following the reading of a poem penned by Xu Mu, he was compelled to express his feelings towards her, so he wrote a letter. Unfortunately, the letter went astray and Xu Mu never received it, leading him to believe she had rejected him. A short while later, he departed for another country.
