Stay by My Side Episode 8: Recap (Spoilers)
In the last episode of Stay by my side, Jiang Chi and Bu Xia had a good time together as it was Jiang Chi’s birthday. Bu Xia gave him lots of surprises which made Jiang Chi a little emotional. After the cake-cutting, Bu Xia gave Jiang Chi a pendant as a gift. The pendant was not normal. It was related to Jiang Chi’s grandfather, and it had his grandfather’s initials engraved on it.
Bu Xia prepared the gift with the help of Jiang Chi’s sister. He visits her and asks about Jiang Chi. As he talks to his sister, he gets to know Jiang Chi had a childhood problem of heating things. Her sister reveals after their grandfather’s sudden death, Jiang Chi went into trauma and fear. His guilt and fear made him believe he could hear ghosts. They took him to many doctors for a cure, but nothing worked out.
But after so many years, only one thing made him avoid the sounds, and it was Bu Xia himself. Every time he is near Jiang Chi, he can’t hear any weird sounds of ghosts. His sister asks him to stay with her brother always and not to leave his side. At the same time, Jiang Chi starts having second thoughts about his relationship with Bu Xia. He starts thinking of himself as a burden to Bu Xia.
Back at the dorm, Jiang Chi talks about this to Bu Xia. He says he doesn’t want to feel burdened or want to rely on anybody.

Bu Xia, in anger, came to the decision to leave the dorm and came out of the dorm.
