Long For You Episode 2 Recap
> Long For You Recap
Qin Si, resting by a window and shaking a glass of red wine, awaited good news from an assassin. Upon receiving a photo of Xue Ji shot and collapsed, she took a sip of wine, a satisfied smile on her lips. Meanwhile, Li Zhe, having just concluded a business deal, arrived at Xue Ji's villa with a cake. Finding her absent after ringing the doorbell repeatedly, he called Tao De, who was equally unaware of her whereabouts.
They quickly realized Xue Ji might be in danger. Tao De explained that the villa was registered under his name and he had installed surveillance cameras for Xue Ji's safety, which confirmed she had not returned the previous night. As they frantically searched the villa for clues, Tao De recalled Xue Ji's mother dying in a car accident.
However, when he stated the year of her mother's death, a significant time discrepancy arose with Li Zhe's own memory of seeing Xue Ji's mother years later when he was five. This inconsistency immediately raised Li Zhe's suspicions about Xue Ji's true identity. Discarded in the wilderness, Xue Ji, who has lived for over a thousand years and cannot be easily killed by a mere bullet, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
She called Tao De to pick her up. Tao De arrived to find Xue Ji covered in blood and expressed concern, offering to take her to a hospital. Xue Ji refused, insisting on returning home. Once at the villa, Xue Ji recovered completely, her body unharmed. Tao De, having previously helped investigate Xue Ji's identity, was amazed but decided to conceal her extraordinary recovery. He advised Xue Ji to change her blood-stained clothes as Li Zhe was on his way.
Li Zhe soon rushed to the villa, relieved to see Xue Ji emerge unharmed from the bathroom. Xue Ji, however, lied, claiming she had been robbed in the wild. Li Zhe was surprised by her casual recounting of such a dangerous event and regretted not being with her. Xue Ji, feeling a rare warmth from Li Zhe's genuine concern—a feeling she hadn't experienced in her many years of solitude—was touched.
However, Li Zhe's renewed suspicions resurfaced when, while excusing himself to the restroom, he discovered Xue Ji's blood-stained clothes. Terrified, he questioned if this mysteriously behaving girl was truly just a simple illegitimate daughter. Back at her home, Qin Si, who was discussing property inheritance with her lawyer, was initially delighted that all assets would fall to her after Xue Ji's supposed death.
This changed when she received a call from Tao De informing her that Xue Ji was alive and wanted to meet the following afternoon to discuss the inheritance. Qin Si, her plans shattered, frantically called the assassin, who confidently confirmed Xue Ji's death. Yet, looking at the photo of Xue Ji's "death," Qin Si was overcome with deep fear. The next day, Xue Ji arrived at the Li residence for lunch with Qin Si.
She engaged in polite conversation as if nothing had happened, subtly mentioning the day's events, which made Qin Si increasingly uneasy and terrified. After lunch, Xue Ji invited Qin Si for a walk. They went to a secluded spot near a tree, away from prying eyes. Xue Ji, having shrewdly deduced everything, relentlessly pressed Qin Si to confess her actions.
Qin Si, pushed to the brink of collapse, finally admitted her motive: having lived with a seventy-year-old man for ten years and enduring constant gossip, she desperately wanted to secure what she desired. Xue Ji then pulled out a handgun, challenging Qin Si to a "bullet gamble" or to shoot her, stating there were bullets inside. Qin Si, utterly terrified and begging for mercy, refused to even touch the gun.
Seeing Qin Si cowering like a trapped mouse, Xue Ji smiled faintly, emptied the bullets from the gun, and told Qin Si never to provoke her again before sparing her life. Hidden nearby, Li Zhe had witnessed the entire confrontation. Xue Ji, who had already noticed his presence, met his gaze. Unable to contain himself any longer, Li Zhe stepped out and demanded to know Xue Ji's true identity.
