Love Unexpected Episode 10 Recap
> Love Unexpected Recap
As Liang Zhixiao presented the new "Wrestle Girl" proposal, highlighting that Li Yunzhu had agreed to participate as a challenger to generate interest, Xu Nuo abruptly interrupted. He directly asked Li Yunzhu if she had a wish, promising he would fulfill it. Recalling Liang Zhixiao's earlier pledge to agree to any request if he secured Xu Nuo's approval, Li Yunzhu stated that her wish was for Xu Nuo to greenlight the show.
To everyone's astonishment, Xu Nuo agreed immediately, thanking Liang Zhixiao for securing the "Asian Wrestle Goddess." As Xu Nuo excused himself for another meeting, a bewildered Li Yunzhu followed, asking if he had any other requests. Assuming she was a fan, Xu Nuo offered her a photo or an autograph as thanks for her support. After she declined, a confused Li Yunzhu wondered why he had acted so out of character.
Ke Siyi, having observed the entire exchange, sensed a distinct shift in Xu Nuo's demeanor; he was nervous and excited when shaking Li Yunzhu's hand, but relaxed and happy afterward, as if he had fulfilled a long-held desire. Determined to learn boxing to prove he could protect Lin Wen, Zhou Yanxin found Ke Siyi looking visibly upset. Lost in her own thoughts, Ke Siyi was grappling with her feelings about Xu Nuo's sudden focus on Li Yunzhu.
She posed a hypothetical question to Zhou Yanxin: how would he react if the person he liked suddenly showed great affection for someone else? Zhou Yanxin immediately identified the feeling as jealousy, stemming from the possessiveness of love. He astutely deduced that she was applying the scenario to herself, realizing she was jealous because Xu Nuo's attention had shifted from her to Li Yunzhu. " You've fallen in love with Xu Nuo!" he declared.
Flustered, Ke Siyi vehemently denied it and fled. She went to Xu Nuo's office and awkwardly asked if he liked Li Yunzhu, warning him that he could get hurt because Li Yunzhu had so many admirers. Xu Nuo dismissively asked why it should matter to her. Ke Siyi insisted it mattered because if he felt pain, she would be the one to suffer.
She then revealed she knew Li Yunzhu already had someone she liked and that she wouldn't interfere with their happiness. However, Xu Nuo pointed out Ke Siyi's obvious sadness and told her to "take your emotions away," insisting he felt "calm as water" and was focused only on work. Ke Siyi pressed him, asking why she felt like crying if he was so calm, reminding him that he could perceive his own emotions as well as hers.
Wondering aloud if her sadness was a direct result of his kindness toward Li Yunzhu, she abruptly left in distress, leaving Xu Nuo to contemplate the connection between his feelings and hers. Zhou Yanxin later arrived at Xu Nuo's office to discuss the "Wrestle Girl" show. Expecting criticism, Xu Nuo was surprised when Zhou Yanxin not only supported the decision but also expressed a newfound appreciation for women's fighting, inspired by Lin Wen.
Zhou Yanxin theorized that Xu Nuo had approved the show not to fulfill Li Yunzhu's wish, but because he had been moved by Ke Siyi's own passion for fighting, having seen her "sparkle" with that love. Xu Nuo denied this, but Zhou Yanxin persisted, comparing Li Yunzhu to a temporary "spiritual pillar" like "Hepburn" was for him, while suggesting Ke Siyi was someone who "influences you all the time." He implied Xu Nuo was mistaking gratitude for love.
Their discussion was interrupted by the unannounced arrival of Wu Dongde. After a brief confrontation with security, Xu Nuo allowed him in. Wu Dongde aggressively demanded an explanation for why the copyrights for all of writer Mei Hualu's previous works now belonged to Hege Group. Xu Nuo calmly explained that the contracts, signed during Wu Dongde's own tenure, stipulated that productions had to commence within five years of licensing.
Since that period had passed without any action, the rights reverted to Hege Group. Enraged, Wu Dongde accused them of playing "word games," but Xu Nuo coolly retorted that Wu Dongde himself had created those restrictive terms, which had now backfired. As Wu Dongde stormed out, he gestured for Ke Siyi to continue monitoring Xu Nuo to find a weakness. To celebrate the show's approval, Lin Wen, Ke Siyi, and Liang Zhixiao gathered.
Liang Zhixiao clarified that to truly save their gym, Kuang Hu, someone needed to reach the finals and defeat Li Yunzhu. Lin Wen, a former champion, admitted her back injury compromised her stamina, making it unlikely she could last against Yunzhu. Ke Siyi was hesitant to join, explaining her father strictly forbade her from fighting, fearing it would trigger a heart attack. Liang Zhixiao then proposed a solution: Ke Siyi could compete as a masked "Mystery Superstar."
This would hide her identity from her father while generating buzz for the show. He argued it was their only way to save Kuang Hu through their own efforts and assured her that if she won and became the new "Wrestle Goddess," her father would eventually understand and accept her dream. Convinced, Ke Siyi agreed, and they all toasted to Kuang Hu's future.
During the show's poster shoot, Xu Nuo was on set and ordered Ke Siyi to move a chair for Li Yunzhu. While doing so, Ke Siyi accidentally bumped into him. Observing Xu Nuo's demanding tone, Liang Zhixiao interceded, scolding Xu Nuo for his lack of sympathy toward his assistant. He then protectively pulled a protesting Ke Siyi away.
Watching Xu Nuo dote on Li Yunzhu, Ke Siyi felt a pang of jealousy, wondering why men preferred girls who were beautiful and had a blend of strength and softness. Later, Zhou Yanxin approached Xu Nuo with a method to determine his true feelings. He suggested Xu Nuo seek out individual time with both Li Yunzhu and Ke Siyi and attempt physical contact, like holding hands.
He claimed that a sports watch could measure whose touch made Xu Nuo's heart beat faster, thus revealing his true affection. Xu Nuo dismissed the idea as "boring," but Zhou Yanxin put his sports watch on Xu Nuo's wrist anyway, insisting the device would track his heart rate. As her boxing training was about to begin, Ke Siyi secretly prepared a first-aid kit.
Since any injury she sustained would cause Xu Nuo to feel her pain, she wanted to be ready. Xu Nuo noticed her hiding something and confronted her. As he moved closer, Ke Siyi's heart began to race. To explain away both the medical supplies and her frantic heartbeat, she impulsively lied that her period was about to start and that he would likely feel intense pain for a week, advising him to rest at home.
Confused, Xu Nuo later called Zhou Yanxin to ask about medication for period pain. Zhou Yanxin reacted with shock, accusing Xu Nuo of "two-timing" if he cared about Ke Siyi's period while supposedly pursuing Li Yunzhu. After abruptly ending the call, Xu Nuo glanced at the sports watch on his wrist, which now displayed a significantly elevated heart rate. To alleviate the "period pain" he believed was coming, Xu Nuo meticulously prepared brown sugar ginger tea according to online instructions.
He personally brought the warm tea to Ke Siyi, blew on it to cool it, and urged her to rest. He then carefully placed warm patches on her back and stomach, asking if she felt better. At her request, he promptly fetched her water, sweets, and even rushed off to find comic books. However, when he returned, he found Ke Siyi secretly removing a warm patch. Caught in her lie, Ke Siyi immediately clutched her stomach, feigned severe pain, and claimed she needed to rush to the bathroom.
