> Resúmenes de About Love
Li Xiaoxi called Guan Jie to confront her about the thugs who had harassed her, but Guan denied any involvement, claiming it was a misunderstanding while expressing a lingering curiosity about Xiaoxi’s new boyfriend. Despite Xiaoxi’s growing feelings for Xiao Bei, she remained deeply conflicted. She hesitated to reveal her past because she felt she didn’t truly understand him yet, especially after seeing him leave late at night for a mysterious meeting.
Determined to resolve the situation, Xiaoxi reached out to her friend Gong for help. Meanwhile, Ming Ming and Da Sen spent their first official night together. When Da Sen attempted to move toward intimacy, Ming Ming pushed him away, feeling that their relationship was progressing too quickly. This led to a tense argument where Da Sen, fueled by jealousy, suggested she was still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. Ming Ming insisted she simply needed more time to feel comfortable.
Though the night started with friction, they eventually apologized to one another, unwilling to let a dispute ruin the significance of their first day as a couple. Later, in a grand gesture to support her dreams, Da Sen revealed he had paid the transfer fee for a vacant storefront so Ming Ming could finally open her own photography studio. Xiaoxi met with Gong, who arrived with his usual eccentric humor, joking that he was her husband from a parallel universe.
She asked him to pose as her boyfriend to help her deal with Guan Jie’s threats. During their talk, Gong warned her that even a loving partner couldn't protect her every second, and she had to learn to rely on herself. He also shared the story of Xiao Bei’s past, explaining that Xiao Bei had been a brilliant student entrepreneur who lost everything to a shipment of high-quality counterfeit bags.
His materialistic girlfriend at the time abandoned him immediately after his bankruptcy, which drove him to go to Europe to master the art of appraisal. Elsewhere, Xiao Bei visited An Miu at her newly rented apartment, bringing her favorite crawfish. He was surprised to learn that An Miu, who had studied law, was now working as an entertainment reporter to follow the idols she admired.
As they reminisced about their time as roommates in the United Kingdom, An Miu confessed that she had always harbored feelings for him. She admitted that even when she was with her former boyfriend, she had felt a sense of panic and resisted intimacy because she feared Xiao Bei would look down on her. Sensing her growing intensity, Xiao Bei awkwardly cut her off and encouraged her to get some rest.
Li Xiaoxi and Gong, who introduced himself to Guan Jie as "Bao Bei" (or "Angela"), eventually met with Guan. Gong played his role with flair, claiming to be an expert in the appraisal industry who could spot anything fake at a glance, from cosmetic surgeries to luxury bags. He made a pointed speech about how he would never let "love debts" from Xiaoxi's past bother him.
Guan remained skeptical and eventually showed Xiaoxi photos, questioning how many boyfriends she was actually seeing. Xiaoxi sent Gong out of the room to settle matters privately, telling Guan she was done being threatened and was prepared to tell Xiao Bei everything herself, regardless of the outcome. Seeing Xiaoxi’s resolve, Guan claimed she was merely testing her loyalty. Later, Xiao Bei took Xiaoxi to a café he had named "Capricorn Café" to commemorate their many coffee dates.
He shared that he had practiced martial arts as a child to fulfill a dream of being a hero, explaining how he easily handled the thugs from the other night. Their peaceful moment was interrupted by Guan Jie, who arrived claiming she wanted to finalize the details of Xiaoxi leaving her business. Before Guan led her away, Xiao Bei mentioned that he wanted Xiaoxi to meet An Miu, the "sister" who had supported him during his hardest times abroad. Guan Jie, however, added a final cryptic note, telling Xiaoxi that she had a biological younger sister she wanted her to meet that afternoon.
