> Go Go Squid 2 Dt.Appledog's Time Recap
Tong Nian presented Han Shangyan with a cup of coffee adorned with a cute pig latte art, which his K&K teammates excitedly delivered to him. A troubled Wu Bai later approached Tong Nian for advice, admitting his own proposal attempt had been a mishap before he even got a chance to speak. He asked Tong Nian how Han Shangyan had proposed to her, hoping to learn from what he jokingly called a "bad example."
Tong Nian recounted that Han Shangyan proposed at a train station after the national tournaments, putting a champion ring on her finger and simply saying, "Tong Nian, let's get married," which left her completely shocked.
She advised Wu Bai that while a romantic ceremony is important, it's more crucial to instill confidence in the girl about their future, making her believe he will wholeheartedly care for her, ensure she retains her freedom, and always support her dreams, providing a profound sense of security. Wu Bai diligently took notes, finding her suggestions invaluable. Later, the K&K team, observing Wu Bai deep in thought, worried that he was upset about his proposal.
Suddenly, Wu Bai exclaimed that he had a solution, explaining it would be a multi-stage plan. He then led Ai Qing to a park. As they walked, Ai Qing complained that her high heels were hurting her feet, so they sat on a nearby bench.
An elderly couple on an adjacent bench caught their attention; the woman playfully teased her husband for being a man of few words, yet recalled how he had knelt before her parents years ago, promising to make her happy forever. She then insisted on going down the park slide, and her husband indulgently accompanied her. Ai Qing expressed a wish for her and Wu Bai to be as happy as the old couple when they grow old.
Wu Bai promised to accompany her in anything she desires. He then took her foot, carefully applying a band-aid to her chafed heel. Touched by his tenderness, Ai Qing spontaneously said, "Wu Bai, let's get married." Wu Bai was initially stunned, but quickly recovered and opened a ring box. He asked if she would marry him, and Ai Qing, with a sweet smile, asked him to put the ring on her finger.
When Ai Qing asked about his original plans for the proposal, Wu Bai simply said they no longer mattered and led her home. Meanwhile, Shen Zhe, 97, and the rest of the team were waiting nearby, wearing cartoon hats. Seeing Wu Bai return without Ai Qing, they assumed his proposal had failed again. That evening, back at the base, they decided to comfort him, instructing Zhou Yi to prepare a warm meal.
When Wu Bai returned, his teammates greeted him with concerned expressions, urging him not to be sad. Confused by their commiseration, Wu Bai revealed the now-empty ring box. His teammates gasped, thinking the ring was lost. However, Wu Bai loudly announced, "Success!" The team instantly erupted in cheers, their worry turning into joyful celebration. Upon returning home, Ai Jing noticed the new ring on her sister's hand and was delighted.
She then excitedly told Ai Qing about a trending account on Cloud Circle called "Assist Genius," which had been posting stories about them. Ai Qing immediately suspected 97 was behind it. She later mentioned it to Wu Bai, telling him that after reading the "Assist Genius" journal, she realized he had been scheming to win her over for three years. Wu Bai playfully admitted that without a few tricks, he couldn't have won over his "Goddess Appledog."
Soon after, Wu Bai received a call from Wang Hao, who proposed a joint training camp for the SP and K&K teams before the World Cup. Wu Bai readily agreed. Meanwhile, 97 was basking in the increasing comments on his "Assist Genius" posts until he saw a comment from Wu Bai exposing his identity. Panicked, 97 asked Shen Zhe what to do, to which Shen Zhe wryly replied he was on his own.
Wu Bai then instructed 97 to inform the team that SP would be arriving that afternoon. Ai Qing later brought the SP team to the K&K base. Although the SP members initially questioned training with their rivals, Ai Qing explained that with two Chinese teams in the World Cup for the first time, ensuring China secured the championship was paramount.
They openly shared technical knowledge, discussing automated correction technology, different control styles, and K&K's unique aerospace-grade titanium alloy armor, aiming to collectively excel in the World Cup. As the two teams prepared to depart, Wu Bai held Ai Qing's hand, promising to fulfill her long-held dream of a world championship. They flew to Chicago and checked into their hotel. Han Shangyan then called Wu Bai, asking him to visit K&K headquarters. Concerned, Ai Qing accompanied him.
At the headquarters, Wu Bai was met with enthusiastic applause. Nanwei congratulated Wu Bai for establishing K&K as one of China's top two clubs within a year and formally reinstated him as the captain of K&K China's First Team. They also discussed K&K's ambitious expansion plans, including forming a second team and developing new mechs. Back at the hotel, Wu Bai reassured Ai Qing that the meeting was positive.
Ai Qing was delighted, though Wu Bai remained unfazed by his captaincy. While Wu Bai was preparing fruit for a team pep rally, Ai Qing joined him, eager to observe his leadership style. During the rally, Shen Zhe made a lighthearted joke about Ai Qing and his girlfriend Ai Jing being sisters, which led to a playful debate about who was the "radish or bok choy."
Wu Bai cut the rally short, stating that after so much training, the team's readiness was more important than words. In the World Cup quarter-finals, Shen Zhe delivered a decisive KO, securing K&K's advancement to the semi-finals. Though the SP team fought valiantly, they were narrowly defeated by Australia's RF team, still achieving a commendable top-eight finish, their best performance to date. Wu Bai then dominated his match, securing K&K's spot in the finals against Team Naya.
Later, reflecting on her relationship with Wu Bai, Ai Qing realized that marriage is the continuous act of falling in love with the same person amidst everyday life. She envisioned their future together, their affection as unchanging as the moon that had witnessed them from the very first moment ten years ago.
