Dragon Day, You're Dead Episode 6 Recap
> Dragon Day, You're Dead Recap
During a tutoring session, Long Riyi initially displayed unusual obedience, accurately completing all his assignments. However, his demeanor shifted when Zhang Jingmei asked him to read an English article. He struggled with the pronunciation and declared he was not in the mood to continue. When Jingmei retorted that only children act based on their mood, Long Riyi’s face darkened, and he stubbornly refused to learn further. Frustrated, Jingmei gathered her books and left.
Later that evening, Long Riyi, looking at the cookies Jingmei had made for him, asked Uncle Li how to preserve them permanently. Uncle Li suggested a resin process and offered to find a factory capable of customizing a mold. The next day, Long Riyi's friends, Squid and Octopus, came to visit. Octopus began eating some cookies on the table, prompting Long Riyi to immediately tackle him, fearing he was consuming the special cookies from Jingmei.
Uncle Li quickly intervened, clarifying that those were not Jingmei's cookies. Meanwhile, Jingmei visited the car maintenance plant, hoping to learn more about Long Riyi from Squid and Octopus. She inquired why they called him "Boss." They explained that when they were children, Long Riyi often stood up for them against bullies and deeply disliked hypocrisy. They also revealed that Long Riyi’s biological mother passed away when he was six, and his current mother is his stepmother.
Despite his stepmother’s kindness, he often felt lonely, believing he only had them. They shared a story about him waiting all day for them once when they were on holiday. At school, Jin Chunxi approached Jingmei, presenting her with highly coveted tickets for "West Side Story," which made her very happy. As they chatted animatedly about going to dinner, Octopus spotted them and immediately called Long Riyi. Long Riyi soon appeared, his face tight with anger.
He confronted Jin Chunxi and Jingmei, then snatched the tickets from Jingmei's hand and tore them into pieces, declaring he could simply buy her new ones. Jingmei was furious, accusing him of being overbearing and disrespecting things she cherished. Despite Long Riyi's assertion that she belonged to him, Jingmei, enraged, walked away. As Jingmei walked, a melancholic violin melody caught her attention.
She observed the male musician, reflecting on the vast differences between people, contrasting the diligent violinist with Long Riyi. Assuming the musician was a struggling street artist, she placed some money in his violin case. The musician tried to return the money, but Jingmei explained that she had detected a profound sadness hidden within his seemingly joyful music. Intrigued, the musician smiled and played another song, this time exclusively for her.
That evening, Jingmei returned to Long Riyi’s house for tutoring. As she entered, Long Riyi abruptly opened his door, pushing her to the floor. He then ordered her to open a can of cola for him. In retaliation, Jingmei vigorously shook the cola can before spraying its contents directly onto Long Riyi’s face. She then turned and walked out, ignoring his threat of consequences. Outside, Jingmei again encountered the violinist. Noticing her unhappiness, he spontaneously played a tune for her.
Her mood significantly improved, and she decided to treat him to dinner at a local food stall. Observing his pale and thin appearance, she mistakenly believed he was struggling to make a living and encouraged him to eat heartily and work hard. The musician simply offered a faint smile at her words. The next day at school, the music teacher announced a special guest: a musical talent who would share classical music with the students.
To Jingmei’s utter astonishment, the elegantly dressed man who walked into the classroom was the violinist from the street. He introduced himself as Long Haiyi, a distinguished alumnus, a music doctorate student from LUBS, and the new music teacher. Jingmei was mortified, realizing she had completely misunderstood his circumstances. Long Haiyi then performed a piece for the class.
Later, Long Haiyi caught up with Jingmei in the hallway, and they chatted about their previous encounters, joking about her thinking he was a street artist. They agreed to have dinner together again soon. Their conversation was abruptly cut short when Long Riyi suddenly appeared, pulling Jingmei away and warning Long Haiyi to stay away from "his girlfriend." Long Haiyi, however, calmly greeted Long Riyi, leading Jingmei to realize they knew each other.
Long Riyi then questioned Long Haiyi about why he hadn’t been home, implying a familial connection, but Long Haiyi dismissed the idea of going home with him. The following day, Long Riyi surprised Jingmei by pulling her into his car and driving her to the beach for a barbecue, stating his intention to help her relax. Jingmei posted her location online, and shortly after, Jin Chunxi arrived, having seen her post.
He excitedly shared the news that he had won an international design award. As Jin Chunxi and Jingmei celebrated and enjoyed the barbecue together, Long Riyi grew increasingly annoyed, feeling powerless to intervene. His attention was diverted when his phone rang. His expression softened noticeably as he answered, addressing the caller as "Yoona." He then abruptly left the beach to meet her. Feigning indifference, Jingmei asked Jin Chunxi who Yoona was.
Jin Chunxi explained that Bai Yoona was Long Riyi’s beautiful and elegant childhood sweetheart, his "dream girl," who had always comforted him when he was upset. Jingmei nodded, a feeling of unease settling in her heart, while Jin Chunxi teased her about being jealous.
