My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Episode 17 Recap
> My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Recap
Yun Zhen and Ye Meixiao arrived at a bar, where Ye Meixiao immediately told him he couldn't dance with other women. Yun Zhen, appearing unhappy, complained that there was no point in coming to the bar if he couldn't interact with other girls. As he watched Ye Meixiao, Yun Zhen momentarily felt a flicker of affection, but he quickly dismissed it, reminding himself that it was Ye Meixiao.
Ye Meixiao then proposed that they complete their two remaining dates to create some memories and give herself time to say goodbye. Yun Zhen, anticipating his freedom after these two dates, readily agreed. Later, in the restroom, Yun Zhen encountered a woman he knew, who identified herself as Miss Wu. She informed him she was single again and invited him for a drink. Yun Zhen declined, stating he was with someone else.
Miss Wu tried to prevent him from leaving, causing a scene. Yun Zhen reiterated that he was with someone else and then left with Ye Meixiao, telling her his driver was on the way to take her home, as he no longer felt like staying at the bar. Tian Jingzhi brought soup to Bai Lu, only to find Xue Lingqiao already there, engaged in an animated conversation with Bai Lu. Feeling a pang of jealousy, Tian Jingzhi returned home.
She reflected on Bai Lu's beauty and shared immortality with Xue Lingqiao, and decided to try to set them up. Tian Jingzhi confided her plan to Feng Dongdong, who discreetly called Xue Lingqiao on his phone, allowing him to overhear their conversation. Tian Jingzhi asserted that Bai Lu was the ideal match for Xue Lingqiao. However, Feng Dongdong argued that Xue Lingqiao loved Tian Jingzhi and she shouldn't abandon him.
Tian Jingzhi insisted she no longer liked Xue Lingqiao, admitting she had lingering feelings when he moved across from her, but pondered her short lifespan of a few decades, contrasting it with his, and mused about not wanting to be 60 years old and looking for a partner among square dancers. She advised Feng Dongdong never to betray a girl's enthusiasm, emphasizing that no one would wait for him indefinitely, just as even the sun eventually extinguishes.
She told him to write down her words and post them on Weibo to make his feed more interesting. Nearby, Moon Bai overheard the entire conversation between Tian Jingzhi and Feng Dongdong. He encouraged Xue Lingqiao to follow his intuition, suggesting that the human body is a precise instrument and sometimes intuition leads to the right path.
Xue Lingqiao expressed that his intuition warned him not to try things lightly, to which Moon Bai advised him to wait patiently, as there would always be someone in the world waiting for him, even if they had no obligation. Xue Lingqiao thanked Moon Bai for his organization's assistance in helping Bai Lu, and Moon Bai humbly replied that it was natural for their kind to help each other.
Xue Lingqiao countered that nothing is a given and gratitude is important. Moon Bai pressed him to try things to avoid regret, but Xue Lingqiao feared there would be no remedy for regret. He reiterated his intuition against light attempts. Moon Bai insisted there are people who will wait, even without obligation, citing themselves as an example.
Xue Lingqiao then excused himself, saying Tian Jingzhi would soon arrive at his company, and Moon Bai offered to see him out, but Xue Lingqiao declined. Despite Hong Shiguang being identified as the deceased and the suspect apprehended, Li Yanzhi remained dispirited.
He explained to Sister Little Ball that the murder cases in the cave and Fang Xian's disappearance were crucial leads linked to Hong Shiguang, but now it was clear Hong Shiguang had no capacity to commit the crimes, and with his death, the lead was cut off.
Sister Little Ball comforted him, sharing a past experience of chasing a year-long false lead, likening case investigation to a relationship: it's normal to feel heartbroken when a long-pursued lead proves wrong, but the experience gained is valuable. She suggested that while the immediate lead was broken, the overall direction of the investigation was sound, implying there might be someone else behind Hong Shiguang.
She theorized that the murderer likely engaged Hong Shiguang to investigate the victims and that Fang Xian stumbled upon these reports, leading the murderer to pursue her to conceal the evidence. Li Yanzhi agreed, concluding that their next step was to find individuals connected to Hong Shiguang. He then asked Sister Little Ball how she knew about Hong Shiguang's strange illness. Fang Xian's health gradually stabilized.
Noticing Doctor Jiang's attentive care, she candidly told him that she did not have romantic feelings for him and that they could only be friends. She advised him not to waste his time on her, as he wasn't her type. Doctor Jiang acknowledged her directness, remarking that their long lives gave them thicker skin and allowed for frank communication, especially as they would need to support each other as partners in the future. He then asked who she liked.
Fang Xian said she was happy to be complimented, but didn't want to be given the "nice guy" card. To avoid further unwanted confessions, she decided to leave, telling him he should go too to avoid further awkwardness. Fang Xian then admitted that she found "rejecting him" awkward, which made Doctor Jiang feel special. Later, Yun Zhen listened to a horoscope reading that warned Libras and Sagittariuses of potential relationship problems, including partners losing interest.
Being a Sagittarius, he optimistically hoped Ye Meixiao would suddenly stop liking him after their next date. Xue Lingqiao pointed out that Yun Zhen constantly mentioned Ye Meixiao, indicating either intense like or dislike. Xue Lingqiao then listed clear signs a girl no longer likes someone: not wanting to listen, getting angry without reason, losing patience, not blushing when close, and no longer caring about her image, even wishing he would disappear.
Hearing this, Yun Zhen realized Tian Jingzhi exhibited all these behaviors towards Xue Lingqiao. Xue Lingqiao then said the only person who would wait forever for him was a beggar at a subway station. Tian Jingzhi instructed Xue Lingqiao to read fairy tales to Xue Changan at Bai Lu's house for prenatal education, stressing the importance of a father's voice for a child's development, warning that without it, the child might grow up like they were from a single-parent home.
Xue Lingqiao agreed, despite suggesting music might be better. Tian Jingzhi secretly observed them through binoculars. The next day, Tian Jingzhi gave Xue Lingqiao movie tickets, telling him she had agreed to see the movie with him and wouldn't lie. She informed him she would meet him at the cinema after her photo shoot for an online game advertisement. Xue Lingqiao arrived at the cinema at the appointed time, only to find Bai Lu waiting for him.
They quickly realized Tian Jingzhi's matchmaking scheme. Bai Lu apologized, stating she already had someone she liked. Xue Lingqiao, in turn, revealed he already knew Bai Lu had feelings for Moon Bai. Since they were already there, they decided to watch the movie together. From a hidden corner, Tian Jingzhi observed them, feeling a mixture of discomfort and sadness.
As they watched, Xue Lingqiao told Bai Lu that her current feelings of being discarded and wronged mirrored his own past experiences of heartbreak. He then questioned if her (Bai Lu's) love, when causing such pain, was any different from poison. Bai Lu confirmed his feelings for Tian Jingzhi. Xue Lingqiao affirmed his fondness for Tian Jingzhi, calling her his "godson's mother," and asserted that as a "women's team," they should stand on the side of women. They then settled in to enjoy the film, and Bai Lu asked for popcorn.
