> My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Recap
Tian Jingzhi watched from a distance as Xue Lingqiao and Bai Lu left the cinema together, a pang of jealousy striking her heart. Despite her inner turmoil, she forced a smile for Feng Dongdong, asserting that their relationship progressing smoothly was exactly what she wished for. As a mother, she declared, she would do anything for her child's well-being.
Feng Dongdong, however, saw through her pretense, bluntly stating that her plan to set them up was "total nonsense" and observing that Xue Lingqiao seemed upset with Bai Lu. Tian Jingzhi, in denial, insisted there must be a misunderstanding. Feng Dongdong then sarcastically suggested that if a couple gets a hotel room and immediately gets into bed, it could just be to check a "night glowing watch."
He advised Tian Jingzhi not to force a smile if she couldn't genuinely laugh. She reiterated her resolve, explaining that for mothers, the child's welfare comes first, and she was willing to do anything for her child. Feng Dongdong, in turn, quipped that someone who had never dated, like her, had no right to offer opinions on life.
Tian Jingzhi retorted, sharing a comical story about her own disastrous online romance, where she fell for a "beauty with D cups" online, bought them expensive gifts, and even an engagement ring, only to discover after six months that her beloved was a man. Despite the outcome, she maintained that her feelings at the time were real. Afterwards, they decided to go out for a meal together. Meanwhile, Li Yanzhi met with Professor Li to inquire further about Hong Shiguang.
Professor Li confirmed that Hong Shiguang had died, noting that the news would be released the following day. Professor Li felt relieved, stating he had kept his promise to Xue Lingqiao by not revealing the truth about superhumans. He explained that after Hong Shiguang brought him to his property for research, Hong Shiguang was desperately eager for him to find a way to completely kill Xue Lingqiao or to modify him.
Professor Li also revealed that if Hong Shiguang had been caught before his death, he would have exposed all secrets. Li Yanzhi asked if Hong Shiguang had mentioned any other superhumans. Professor Li confirmed that while a mutation of Xue Lingqiao's magnitude was rare, given the vast human population, it wouldn't be surprising to find more.
Professor Li then recalled a puzzling statement Hong Shiguang made on the day of his attempted gene transplant: "When I became a real mutant, they will definitely accept me." Professor Li now believed that "they" referred to a group or organization of superhumans. Returning home, Tian Jingzhi found the lights on and initially thought she had forgotten to turn them off. She was disheartened that Xue Lingqiao and Bai Lu were still not home.
Unexpectedly, her parents appeared, having come to visit their "ex-son-in-law" whom Tian Jingzhi had falsely claimed was terminally ill. When Tian Jingzhi told them Xue Lingqiao wasn't home, her parents insisted on waiting. They then decided to check on Feng Dongdong across the hall, only to see Xue Lingqiao and Bai Lu step out of a car, with Bai Lu visibly pregnant. Tian Jingzhi was mortified.
Her parents, noticing Bai Lu had only moved in two months prior but was already four months pregnant, pressed her about the baby's father. Bai Lu simply stated that the baby's father was no longer around. To defuse the awkward situation, Feng Dongdong intervened, quickly concocting a story that Xue Lingqiao had been at the hospital for cancer treatment and Bai Lu for a prenatal check-up, and he had given them movie tickets to relax afterward.
Tian Jingzhi's parents expressed surprise at such exceptionally close neighbors. After everyone dispersed, Tian Jingzhi's parents reprimanded her, accusing her of being addicted to setting up her ex-boyfriends with other women. Her mother scolded her for lying about Xue Lingqiao's illness and for not thinking things through. Overhearing their harsh words from outside her door, Tian Jingzhi felt a profound sorrow.
She mused that while an eternity might be long for Xue Lingqiao, her own life was fleeting, and despite her love for him, she couldn't afford to waste her precious time. Tian Jingzhi's maternal grandfather, Qiu Lao, was planning his 70th birthday celebration. His assistant was drafting the guest list, including a family lunch at Huidelou Restaurant and an evening banquet. Qiu Lao initially instructed his assistant not to invite his second daughter's family, implying a long-standing estrangement.
However, the assistant gently reminded him that such decisions primarily affected Tian Jingzhi, who had endured years of trying to reconcile her parents with her grandfather, often putting on a happy front despite being alone during family gatherings. The assistant suggested that Tian Jingzhi had developed a "people pleaser" personality due to this familial rift, urging Qiu Lao to be more considerate. Later, Xue Lingqiao approached Tian Jingzhi about the previous night's movie mix-up.
Tian Jingzhi, mistakenly thinking he was referring to her parents discovering his fake illness, apologized. Xue Lingqiao clarified that he was upset she sent Bai Lu in her place for their movie outing. Tian Jingzhi dismissed his complaint, saying that since both he and Bai Lu seemingly enjoyed themselves, the arrangement didn't matter. Unmoved, Xue Lingqiao playfully demanded two "get-togethers" as compensation for her deception. Tian Jingzhi initially scoffed at his insistence on "dates," calling it a "get-together" instead.
Xue Lingqiao agreed to the term, telling her to set the time and promising to wait, but emphasized that he expected Tian Jingzhi herself to show up. Tian Jingzhi was taken aback by his unexpected demeanor, wondering if he "got up on the wrong side of the bed." In another part of the city, Jiang Doctor was sparring with Yue Bai.
Yue Bai noticed Jiang Doctor's disappointment, asking if it was because he could no longer look after Bai Lu daily. Jiang Doctor admitted that Bai Lu had rejected him, even before he had confessed his feelings. As they continued their intense sparring, Yue Bai asked about new developments in Jiang Doctor's research. Jiang Doctor revealed that he had conducted another experiment, injecting a mixture of Xue Lingqiao's and Tian Jingzhi's blood into his own body, and experienced no rejection.
He theorized that Tian Jingzhi's blood acted as a "mixer" between Xue Lingqiao's blood and that of other superhumans, much like soap mixes oil and water. This, he concluded, was likely why Tian Jingzhi could become pregnant with Xue Lingqiao's child. Yue Bai excitedly stated that while Tian Jingzhi's blood change might be a special case, the birth of the "super baby" would provide significant breakthroughs in solving the superhumans' reproduction problem.
Jiang Doctor, however, expressed concern about Xue Lingqiao's willingness to let his child be used as a "lab rat." Yue Bai dismissed this, declaring that the child would be their "leader" and Xue Lingqiao would eventually come to understand. Later, Li Yanzhi was seen watching police news about Hong Shiguang's death and his own commendation.
He received a call from his uncle, who congratulated him on the news and offered to introduce him to female fans from his company, given Li Yanzhi's past relationship with Tian Jingzhi. Shortly after the call ended, Xue Lingqiao arrived. Li Yanzhi mentioned seeing Xue Lingqiao earlier when Xue Lingqiao was on a call with Mr. Qiu. Li Yanzhi revealed that despite Hong Shiguang's death, he felt the true troubles were only escalating.
He suspected that the person who arranged for Hong Shiguang's care after his escape from the shelter was the actual mastermind, setting up Hong Shiguang as a smokescreen. Li Yanzhi believed this culprit was likely a superhuman who knew Hong Shiguang and himself well, enabling them to anticipate the authorities' investigative direction. He warned Xue Lingqiao to be especially vigilant, fearing that this unknown individual might target Tian Jingzhi.
Xue Lingqiao acknowledged that Tian Jingzhi's cured narcolepsy was a problem he had inadvertently caused. Li Yanzhi pressed him on how long he planned to stay, to which Xue Lingqiao replied he was unsure, feeling that their troubles seemed "never-ending." Later, Xue Lingqiao returned home. Feng Dongdong, noticing Xue Lingqiao had been drinking with Li Yanzhi, commented on his serious demeanor. Xue Lingqiao then instructed Feng Dongdong to be more vigilant when he was with Tian Jingzhi.
Feng Dongdong misinterpreted this as Xue Lingqiao preparing to leave them, asking if he no longer wanted him, Tian Jingzhi, or their "Little Lucky Star." Xue Lingqiao clarified that it was just a reminder. Feng Dongdong then added that Tian Jingzhi had gone out alone that afternoon and he wasn't sure if she had returned, inadvertently highlighting Xue Lingqiao's concern.
