Resumen del episodio 12 de About Love
> Resúmenes de About Love
At a cinema with Dr. Lin, Li Xiaoxi watched a romantic film that prompted her to reflect on the nature of relationships. Her mind was weighed down by a photo she had taken of Xiu’s infidelity; she felt a moral imperative to send it to Yu, believing she should empower Yu with the truth. However, Xiao Bei strongly disagreed. During a heated discussion by the river, he argued that exposing secrets can be as destructive as starting a war.
He shared a story about a boy who revealed his father’s affair, only to watch his family dissolve. Xiao Bei suggested that "perfect" pasts don't exist and that sometimes, silence is necessary to protect the chance for a future "dawn." Frustrated, Xiaoxi accused him of prioritizing loyalty to a friend over justice. Despite their disagreement, Xiao Bei knelt to propose, admitting the timing was poor but his feelings were certain.
Xiaoxi, though moved, declined for the moment, stating that they didn't know each other’s true selves well enough yet. To bridge this gap, she suggested a bold step: moving into his apartment the following day. After the movie, Xiaoxi continued her psychological sparring with Dr. Lin. She expressed deep skepticism about men, while Dr. Lin used a story about a jaguar and a boar to illustrate that harsh, objective laws govern nature and human behavior.
When Xiaoxi challenged him to prove he was a "good man," they agreed to a one-week test. She would set the time and place for daily meetings, and he would treat her simply as a friend. At her request, he began calling her Chen Qing. The move to Xiao Bei’s apartment was filled with small revelations. He teased her about a box of colorful wigs from her "edgy" past, while she decided to leave behind a broken music box.
They shared a hotpot dinner where Xiao Bei encouraged her to try duck blood and mutton—foods she usually avoided but found surprisingly palatable in his company. Although he insisted on driving his old, poorly maintained car instead of using hers, their domestic life felt warm and promising, though Xiaoxi felt a persistent, uneasy sensation of being watched. As part of their "test," Xiaoxi challenged Dr. Lin to a billiards match, with the winner choosing the location of their final meeting.
Gong was also at the hall, secretly keeping an eye on her safety. Despite Xiaoxi’s skill, Dr. Lin proved to be a professional-level player and won the bet. Before they left, she gave him an expensive watch. Though he initially felt it compromised the test, he eventually accepted, agreeing to fulfill a wish for her in the future. Later, Gong met with Xiaoxi and expressed open jealousy over the watch, warning her that Dr. Lin was using psychological tactics.
Xiaoxi shifted the focus to a portrait Xiao Bei had painted for her on an old drawing board Gong had once given him. Gong burst into laughter, mocking the amateurish, "postmodern" style of the art. Meanwhile, a young woman named An Miu was nearby, frustratedly reporting over the phone that she hadn't yet secured a clear face shot of her target. Noticing An Miu's stylish dress, Xiaoxi saw an opportunity to help Gong make a connection.
Pretending to be a foreigner who spoke no Chinese, she had Gong approach An Miu to ask for a photo and the link to her outfit. Since Xiaoxi "only used Line," Gong successfully added An Miu on WeChat under his nickname, "Mud Buddha," marking their first successful contact with the mysterious photographer.
