> I Cannot Hug You Season 2 Recap
Jiang Zhihao unexpectedly initiated a date with Li Shiya, who was overjoyed. She expressed her surprise, noting he usually told her he was busy, but he explained he missed her every day and wanted to give her a happy day. Li Shiya joyfully declared her love for amusement parks, and Jiang Zhihao promised to make up for their last visit when his germaphobia prevented them from fully enjoying it together.
He assured her he was no longer afraid and would play with her. Later, Li Shiya shared a secret, saying she was happy even when he didn't play anything during their previous amusement park visit. They then visited an ocean park, which Li Shiya initially found a sad memory, but Jiang Zhihao clarified he wanted to revisit it to transform it into a positive memory, as he now knew her sincerity.
He declined Li Shiya's playful suggestion of a marriage proposal, stating he wouldn't be so rash again. He simply wanted to look around so that in the future, it wouldn't be a sad memory. He urged her to focus on the present, promising it would be an unforgettable date. After leaving the ocean park, they went to an aquarium where Li Shiya delightedly chose a goldfish and jokingly named it "Jiang Zhihao."
Jiang Zhihao then gave her a serious look, stating he lacked confidence in the future and asking her to use his apartment passkey to care for the goldfish if he couldn't. Li Shiya found his words unsettling, feeling as though he was saying goodbye, though she tried to dismiss it as her imagination due to having missed him. As he dropped her off at her parents' home, Li Shiya thanked him for the thoughtful and happy date.
Jiang Zhihao then told her he had important matters for the next two days and made her promise to stay home and rest, emphasizing he would worry if she went out casually. When Li Shiya again commented on his strange behavior, he reassured her that everything would be fine soon. He then pulled her in for a kiss, declaring his love for her before finally departing. Jiang Zhihao arrived at Cui Junhe's home for dinner, as they had previously arranged.
Cui Junhe offered him a fine bottle of red wine, which Jiang Zhihao accepted, unaware that Cui Junhe secretly added a few drops of blood to his glass. After a few sips, Jiang Zhihao became dizzy and stared in disbelief at Cui Junhe. Cui Junhe calmly told him not to be afraid, as he wouldn't kill him immediately.
He then recounted his own story, explaining how he once had a lover, Cheng Meiyou, who died because of him in an accident when he unknowingly absorbed all her energy. At that time, he was unaware of his identity as a high-level vampire. As he prepared to bury her, he heard a legend about a type of vampire with the power to revive people, and he revealed that Li Shiya is that vampire.
Jiang Zhihao protested that he and Li Shiya had done nothing wrong, but Cui Junhe simply attributed it to fate, concluding that while Jiang Zhihao and Li Shiya had good memories, their story would end that day. Simba arrived, mocking Cui Junhe for needing elaborate methods to deal with a human. Cui Junhe then casually pulled out a recording pen hidden in Jiang Zhihao's pocket, telling Jiang Zhihao to stop struggling and implying Simba was now on his side.
Jiang Zhihao, still coherent, questioned Simba's presence, citing their prior agreement. Simba, with a mocking look, reiterated to Jiang Zhihao that he had always said they could never be allies. He then explained to Cui Junhe that he was concerned Cui Junhe wouldn't follow through with killing Jiang Zhihao, which was their original arrangement. Cui Junhe, however, stated he couldn't kill Jiang Zhihao at that moment and told Simba to trust his methods.
Simba then left, telling Cui Junhe he would await his "good news." As Li Shiya finished her work, she noticed many missed calls. Junsu appeared, claiming he was there to escort her to Jiang Zhihao, who was with Editor Cui. Li Shiya, feeling something was amiss since Jiang Zhihao hadn't mentioned it, was initially skeptical. However, Junsu then showed her a photo of an unconscious Jiang Zhihao. With this undeniable evidence, Li Shiya rushed with Junsu to Cui Junhe's residence.
Upon arrival, she frantically searched for Jiang Zhihao, discovering him bound and lying in the trunk of Cui Junhe's car. Junsu apologized for bringing her there, stating that only she could help. As Li Shiya desperately demanded to know what had happened to Jiang Zhihao and what was wrong with the other woman she saw, Cui Junhe emerged and incapacitated her.
Li Shiya regained consciousness to find herself bound by a river, with a coffin nearby holding Cheng Meiyou, Cui Junhe’s deceased lover. Cui Junhe launched into his tragic love story, explaining that Cheng Meiyou, like Jiang Zhihao, had unconditionally accepted him as a vampire. He then urgently declared his intention to revive Cheng Meiyou, just as Li Shanghao had revived Tongtong, who Li Shiya had accidentally harmed/killed.
Li Shiya vehemently argued that her father could save Tongtong only because she was near death, not truly dead, emphasizing that vampires cannot revive the deceased. Cui Junhe, however, dismissed her arguments, citing a legend that vampires, especially those with the unique powers of Li Shiya's family, could bring back the dead. He insisted that with Li Shiya's high-ranked vampire energy, Cheng Meiyou could be revived if Li Shiya was willing to give her life.
When Li Shiya refused, pointing out that Cui Junhe, who caused Cheng Meiyou's death, should be the one to save her, he confessed his inability to do so, lacking her family's healing powers. He then threatened Li Shiya if she wouldn't comply willingly. At that moment, Junsu pushed a weak Jiang Zhihao towards them.
Li Shiya, breaking free from her restraints, rushed to Jiang Zhihao, desperately apologizing for involving him and pleading with Cui Junhe to release him so they could negotiate. Simba then appeared, coldly accusing Cui Junhe of deceptively using Jiang Zhihao to get to Li Shiya. Simba, seeing Cui Junhe's methods, stated he was there to witness if Li Shiya would truly sacrifice herself for Jiang Zhihao.
Cui Junhe pressed Jiang Zhihao to beg Li Shiya to save him, but Jiang Zhihao lovingly declared he would never let her sacrifice herself for him and would rather die. A resolute expression appeared on Li Shiya's face. Cui Junhe repeated his demand for Li Shiya to transfer her energy to Cheng Meiyou, threatening Jiang Zhihao's life if she refused. Despite Jiang Zhihao’s desperate cries for her not to comply, Li Shiya walked determinedly to Cheng Meiyou and clasped her hand.
