> Go Go Squid 2 Dt.Appledog's Time Recap
In the climactic final moments of the competition, Wu Bai's robot, Nobody, charged directly at Lin Yin's Beastmaster, pinning it against the field's mace-like device. Beastmaster struggled fiercely and managed to break free for a moment, but Nobody gave it no respite, relentlessly pushing it back onto the mace. Lin Yin watched with a mixture of tension and despair, frantically pressing buttons, but his robot, now a trapped beast, had no chance to retaliate.
Ultimately, Wu Bai emerged victorious, claiming the championship. Ai Qing approached him to offer her congratulations. As the champion, Wu Bai was given three prize options: points, money, or the right to rename the competition for the next ten years. He chose the renaming right and, looking at Ai Qing, announced that for the next decade, the cup would be known as the "Frigg Cup."
His teammates whispered among themselves, wondering who Frigg was, while Ai Qing's eyes welled with emotion, recalling Luo Hui once saying that Wu Bai had a goddess in the industry—his very own Frigg. Observing Ai Qing's expression, Shen Zhe suspected she knew the name's significance. Lin Yin then asked why her face was red, to which an embarrassed Ai Qing replied that the arena was too hot and she needed to wash her face, before quickly leaving.
Amidst roaring applause, the presenter draped the medal around Wu Bai's neck and handed him the trophy, making him the most radiant star in the arena. Afterwards, his teammates surrounded him, pressing him about the identity of Frigg. Wu Bai, however, only asked where Ai Qing had gone. Lin Yin informed him she had gone to the restroom, so he instructed everyone to head to the car while he went to find her.
Ai Qing, having washed her face, was hurrying back when she collided with someone. She looked up and saw it was Wu Bai. Driven by a sudden urge to be brave, Ai Qing told Wu Bai she had forgotten to give him something. She reminded him of how he had unwrapped an entire tin of chocolates without finding the note he was looking for.
Revealing that she had opened the very last piece, she extended her hand to show him a wish note inside. It read, "My heart had never stirred for anyone, until you came along," a sentiment that perfectly mirrored both his unspoken feelings and her own. Overjoyed, Wu Bai took Ai Qing's hand and led her back to the now-empty arena. The space, which had just been vibrating with intense competition, was now quiet, seemingly listening to their whispered affections.
They embraced passionately, sharing a sweet kiss. Wu Bai then asked for a chance to start a relationship with her, offering his 300 championship titles as his pledge. Ai Qing, smiling, readily agreed. They shared another tender kiss just as Mr. Xiang's voice echoed through the venue, calling their names. Ai Qing quickly hid. When Mr. Xiang asked Wu Bai if he had seen her, Wu Bai feigned ignorance, and Mr. Xiang continued his search elsewhere.
Once he was gone, Ai Qing emerged, and Wu Bai held her tightly, reluctant to let go, cherishing the love he had waited so long for. Back in her hotel room, Ai Qing savored the memory of their kiss. A moment later, a server delivered a bottle of hot milk to her room. Puzzled, she soon received a message from Wu Bai asking if she had received the milk, which made her smile.
On the return flight, Wu Bai deliberately upgraded their seats to first class so they could sit together without being disturbed. When he mentioned he was hungry, Ai Qing offered him some chocolate. Seeing he hesitated, she took a bite herself, and Wu Bai leaned in to share it. He then asked if they were officially a couple, and Ai Qing nodded. He reassured her that they would announce their relationship when the time was right.
Upon their return to Shanghai, they went to the movies for their first date. Noticing Wu Bai's nervousness, Ai Qing playfully teased him about it. To ensure she'd like the film, Wu Bai had several movie titles written on his hand, which he glanced at while giving her synopses. After they chose a movie, Wu Bai bought them strawberry-flavored soda and popcorn. Just then, both received urgent calls summoning them to the K&K base.
They rushed back to find the base completely dark. As they wondered what was happening, the lights suddenly flickered on, and everyone emerged, singing "Happy Birthday" and pushing a cake cart. Only then did Ai Qing realize it was Wu Bai's birthday. Members from SP had also joined the K&K team for the celebration. Wu Bai expressed his gratitude for the surprise party.
Mr. Xiang then tried to play matchmaker, attempting to introduce his fan-girl cousin to Wu Bai via video call, but Wu Bai immediately stated that he already had someone he liked. After making his wish, Wu Bai discreetly slipped away from the party. Ai Qing found him and asked why he hadn't told her about his birthday. He replied that he only wanted to spend it with her.
She apologized for not having a gift, but Wu Bai assured her that her presence was the greatest one he could ask for. He then reflected on how he used to wish for superpowers like those in stories, but now realized he already possessed the most remarkable one: the girl he loved also loved him back.
