See You Tomorrow Episode 5 Recap
> See You Tomorrow Recap
Jiang Kan answered Ding Liaoliao’s call, fully aware of her intentions. However, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to see her discomfited. When Ding Liaoliao asked if he would choose someone else for the special project, acknowledging their past difficult collaboration, Jiang Kan replied that he had actually enjoyed their previous cooperation. He praised her as a serious and responsible person and said he would be very happy to work with her again.
Shortly after, the director confirmed that Ding Liaoliao would be responsible for interviewing and filming Jiang Kan, leaving her no chance to refuse. Jiang Kan, however, informed her that he could only meet after 8 p. m. as he had papers to revise. Ms. Lian called Ding Liaoliao to ask if they would cook at home or eat out that night, as she planned to move in.
Ding Liaoliao explained that she had a meeting and would be home late, so she couldn't help her move. Ms. Lian assured her it was fine and she could manage by herself. Ding Liaoliao mused that her brother, Ding Man, was also unreliable, wondering if he would be home that night. Ding Man continued his daily routine of waiting for Ms. Lian at the convenience store after work, and this day, his persistence paid off.
He observed Ms. Lian interacting with children, one of whom compared her favorably to his own sister, Ding Liaoliao, calling Ms. Lian "both pretty and capable" and "different from my sister." Ding Man appeared shy and awkward when Ms. Lian playfully suggested she had installed a tracker on him, right on his shoulder. Ding Man then gathered the courage to ask Ms. Lian why she decided to move into his house so quickly, given the many nice houses in Jiangxia.
Ms. Lian simply responded, "Because of you." Ding Man, still shy, believed she was joking. Then, to his surprise, Ms. Lian casually mentioned she was moving into his apartment in Minghe Community that very day. Ding Liaoliao led her team to meet Jiang Kan to discuss the filming process. During the meeting, Hu Jiaying made an effort to get closer to Jiang Kan, but he deliberately sat next to Ding Liaoliao and asked for the same drink she was having.
Ding Liaoliao presented their plan to record his daily work and asked about the institute's customs, mentioning concerns about disturbing their work with a large team. Jiang Kan stated that the institute had visitor restrictions and suggested that since Ding Liaoliao was familiar with the area and would be driving him to the lab, she could just follow and film him alone. When Ding Liaoliao seemed hesitant, Jiang Kan subtly threatened to withdraw from the program if she was unwilling.
Faced with this, Ding Liaoliao reluctantly agreed, assuring him she was happy to do the work. Ms. Lian officially moved into the Ding household. Ding Man enthusiastically showed her around her room, pointing out new furniture like the wardrobe, table, and an adjustable chair, clearly having put a lot of thought into the preparations. Ms. Lian expressed her satisfaction with everything in the house.
Ding Man seemed too shy to make eye contact, so Ms. Lian jokingly asked if she looked fierce. Ding Man quickly denied it, saying she was "more gentle and prettier than on TV," which Ms. Lian found amusing, noting it was the first time someone said she wasn't photogenic. Ding Man, flustered, tried to get her some water but stumbled, falling to one knee.
Just as Ms. Lian reached out to help him up, Jiang Kan and Ding Liaoliao returned home, creating an extremely awkward situation. Jiang Kan commented, "You don't have to be so polite." Ding Man introduced Jiang Kan to Ms. Lian. Ding Liaoliao then remarked that Ms. Lian and Jiang Kan, both being elites, seemed like "a perfect match," to which Ding Man immediately disagreed.
Later that evening, Ding Liaoliao showed Ms. Lian childhood photos of herself, revealing she was a tomboy, and Ding Man, who their mother had dressed as a little girl. Ms. Lian and Ding Liaoliao burst into laughter, much to Ding Man’s embarrassment. He tried to brush it off, saying all boys experienced such things and asked Jiang Kan if his childhood was similar.
Jiang Kan, of course, denied it, but his subtly unnatural expression caused Ding Liaoliao and Ms. Lian to share a knowing smile and laugh again. Ding Liaoliao then went to Jiang Kan's room to discuss the shooting schedule, bringing him a detailed plan. Jiang Kan remarked that she didn't seem willing to work with him, referencing her laughter in the living room.
Ding Liaoliao, feeling a grudge from him, read aloud a formal pledge outlining her professional conduct for the shoot. She also told him that she intended to start gathering material immediately, not just during the official shoot, to enrich their vlog, and advised him to get used to being constantly in front of the camera. When Jiang Kan stared at her through the camera lens, Ding Liaoliao became flustered and quickly made an excuse to leave.
The next day, as Ding Liaoliao and Jiang Kan walked to work together, they were repeatedly mistaken for a married couple by their neighbors, which made Ding Liaoliao uncomfortable. Jiang Kan, however, seemed secretly pleased. At the laboratory, Jiang Kan’s junior colleagues enthusiastically greeted Ding Liaoliao as "sister-in-law."
They informed her that Jiang Kan had no dating experience and advised her to be patient and understanding with him, even offering to explain things further like his "lack of skills in kissing." Ding Liaoliao tried to clarify their relationship, but her explanations were ignored, and Jiang Kan did not deny the colleagues' assumptions, only silencing a particularly talkative junior by assigning him a heavy translation task due the next day.
Ding Liaoliao filmed Jiang Kan as he led a meeting. Noticing her visible fatigue, Jiang Kan ended the meeting earlier than planned. Afterwards, their teacher announced in a group chat that they needed to record a CPR instructional video for the institute’s website. The colleagues, eager to avoid being on camera for the "annual Shame Meeting," quickly suggested Jiang Kan and Ding Liaoliao, emphasizing the importance of new faces for such a vital, charitable project.
Ding Liaoliao felt extremely nervous at the thought of performing CPR with Jiang Kan, though she adamantly denied it was due to him. Jiang Kan provocatively commented, "This is a bargain for you." Just as they were about to begin, a junior arrived with a mannequin. Ding Liaoliao immediately jumped up, clearly relieved. The junior remarked to others that Jiang Kan was indeed a Scorpio, implying this was another one of his pranks.
Later, a colleague gave Ding Liaoliao two complimentary tickets for a weekend trip to Longwan Resort, worth five thousand yuan, explaining that she had a shoot and couldn't use them. Ding Liaoliao complained to the colleague about her difficult day with Jiang Kan, having only eaten cookies. She then tried to find someone to accompany her, but everyone she asked was busy.
She called Jiang Kan to inquire if any of his juniors, like Juzi or Wen Ya, had time, as she didn't want the tickets to go to waste. After checking his schedule, Jiang Kan informed her that all his juniors had experiments, but then added, "But I have time." That night, Ding Liaoliao discussed Jiang Kan's offer with Ding Man, suspecting he had ulterior motives.
She worried he might be planning revenge for her past deception, even suggesting he might "find a remote place to bury me alive" on the island. Ding Man dismissed her concerns, suggesting she was overthinking and that Jiang Kan probably just wanted a "maid to take care of him" while he relaxed. He then pointed out that Ding Liaoliao herself had been diligently applying facial masks, implying she was the one with "bad intentions" for the trip.
Before Ding Man went to his room, he asked Ding Liaoliao about Ms. Lian's preferred dishes, intending to cook for her while Ding Liaoliao was away. As he left, Ding Man went to Jiang Kan's room and cautioned him to "take care of yourself when you go out tomorrow. Women are too dangerous. Especially Ding Liaoliao." The following day, Ding Liaoliao and Jiang Kan boarded a bus to Longwan Resort.
Despite their awkward and reserved demeanor, an older passenger immediately mistook them for a newly dating couple, offering unsolicited advice and commenting on Jiang Kan's attentiveness when he told Ding Liaoliao to sit down for safety. Ding Liaoliao repeatedly tried to correct the passenger, but Jiang Kan simply told her to sit still, reinforcing the misconception.
