Long For You Episode 17 Recap
> Long For You Recap
At a grand banquet, Xue Ji asked Lin Beila to talk in a quiet place, but Lin Beila responded by opening fire, shooting and killing an innocent person. Guests fled in terror. Li Zhe attempted to lead Xue Ji to safety, but she signaled him to escort others first. Xue Ji approached the fallen victim, lamenting another lost life.
Lin Beila, maniacal, smiled and expressed her anticipation for a thousand-year wish to come true, wanting Xue Ji to experience an irreparable situation, just as Lin Beila herself was once powerless due to her humble origins a thousand years ago. Xue Ji deeply regretted saving Lin Beila, whom Lin Beila believed was no better than herself, despite her own unscrupulous methods.
Lin Beila mocked Xue Ji's foolish kindness, pointing out that Xue Ji's blood only saves blood relatives, making her past act of saving Min Furen a mistake. Xue Ji, concerned only for Gu Shiyi, asked for his whereabouts, and Lin Beila told her he was on his way, adding that her past thousand years had been boring and this was her chance to kill Xue Ji.
Lin Beila then kicked Xue Ji down and handcuffed her to a nearby chair, hiding in anticipation of Gu Shiyi's arrival. Gu Shiyi arrived with police to rescue Xue Ji, but Lin Beila emerged, pointing a gun at his head. Lin Beila had calculated everything, wanting Xue Ji to witness her beloved's death at the hands of the "devil" she saved.
Gu Shiyi silently seized the gun from a complacent Lin Beila and pointed it at her heart, threatening her to release Xue Ji. Unfazed, Lin Beila grabbed Gu Shiyi's hand, pressed the gun to her own chest, and challenged him to kill her, asserting her immortality and his mortality, believing Gu Shiyi wouldn't dare. Suddenly, Lin Beila injected a substance into Gu Shiyi's back. Li Zhe arrived with police.
Xue Ji, desperate, embraced Gu Shiyi, crying as Lin Beila's blood, seemingly from the injection, entered his body. Lin Beila was controlled by police, watching gleefully. However, Gu Shiyi was unharmed. Lin Beila screamed in disbelief, realizing she had become a normal person. Xue Ji laughed, revealing that her own blood had lost its supernatural effect, and that both she and Lin Beila were now ordinary humans. Gu Shiyi then embraced Xue Ji.
Lin Beila, now a normal person, was taken to prison. It was late when Gu Shiyi took Xue Ji home, where Jiang Huai and Chun Shan were anxiously waiting. Relieved to see them safe, they went to bed. Inside, Xue Ji brought iodine for Gu Shiyi's injury and asked about his wounds. Gu Shiyi feigned pain in his right shoulder, but Xue Ji exposed his act by pointing out his injury was to the left shoulder. He then laughed sheepishly.
Gu Shiyi realized he had no change of clothes and stayed the night. Xue Ji lent him her pink pajamas, which he put on, looking like a shy girl. Xue Ji laughed at his appearance, and they happily play-fought. They lay down, and Xue Ji felt content, believing she could now be with her beloved forever without death or separation. Gu Shiyi slept in the living room. Later that night, Xue Ji couldn't sleep.
She quietly went to Gu Shiyi's sleeping place, covered him with a blanket, and was caught by his hand. He asked her not to leave and to stay with him. Xue Ji happily lay down beside him, and they spent the night together. The next morning, Xue Ji woke up first, laughing happily, noticing her still unhealed wound. Her laughter woke Gu Shiyi, who was startled to find her next to him and asked why she was in his room.
Xue Ji showed him a video she had recorded of him speaking in his sleep, revealing his feelings and asking her to stay. Gu Shiyi tried to snatch the phone to delete it but failed. Xue Ji proudly declared she would keep the video forever, sighing that such days were good. In the dining room, Chun Shan was eating breakfast. Jiang Huai looked uneasy, remembering Chun Shan's interactions with Lisa.
She subtly probed Chun Shan about his ex-girlfriend's beauty and charm. Chun Shan smiled at Jiang Huai's jealousy and told her, "She is not as good as you." As Jiang Huai tried to argue, Chun Shan leaned in, wiped breadcrumbs from her cheek, and told her, "You're cute when you're angry." Jiang Huai was flustered but felt her lingering questions had finally received a satisfactory answer. In the visiting room, Li Zhe visited Lin Beila, who was now in prison.
Lin Beila acted as if nothing had happened, maintaining her arrogance, and told Li Zhe she was bored. Li Zhe asked why she had killed his parents. Lin Beila casually admitted to the murders, stating that the Li family had a lot of money and that having lived over a thousand years, she only measured happiness by money and was also driven by boredom.
Li Zhe was enraged, believing this murderous demon was irredeemable and should have been imprisoned long ago. Lin Beila countered that if he lived a thousand years, he would understand her feelings. Realizing there was no point in trying to elicit remorse or lecture her, Li Zhe slammed down the phone and left the prison.
