> My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Recap
Tian Jingzhi, Xue Lingqiao, and Tian Jingzhi's parents arrived at Mr. Qiu Lao's house. Tian Jingzhi's father was visibly nervous, while her mother encouraged Xue Lingqiao to make a good impression to help ease the longstanding tension between herself and her father.
Mr. Qiu Lao initially questioned why Mrs. Tian was coming to his house instead of heading straight to the hotel for the party, but then learned that Tian Jingzhi specifically wanted to introduce her boyfriend to him in person. Inside, Mr. Qiu Lao directly asked Xue Lingqiao about the past relationship between Li Yanzhi and Tian Jingzhi.
Xue Lingqiao stated he was grateful to Li Yanzhi for rejecting Tian Jingzhi's marriage proposal, as it gave him the opportunity to be with her. Li Yanzhi, in turn, playfully declared he was always ready to be Tian Jingzhi's backup, even joking that she could have a "harem" since a car usually has four tires. Tian Jingzhi, embarrassed, scolded Li Yanzhi for talking nonsense on her grandfather's birthday.
Xue Lingqiao then embraced Tian Jingzhi and announced to Mr. Qiu Lao that he would surely have a great-grandbaby by his next birthday, revealing that he had successfully proposed. Everyone was astonished. Tian Jingzhi immediately clarified that she had only agreed to marry, not to marry immediately.
To her surprise, her parents sided with Xue Lingqiao, urging her to put the marriage on the agenda, even stressing the importance of marriage for the child's registration and as "humanitarian care" for Xue Lingqiao, who has no parents. Tian Jingzhi's father jokingly remarked that Xue Lingqiao was like a "bad omen" taking all the bad luck from their families, a sentiment Xue Lingqiao openly welcomed.
Mr. Qiu Lao offered his congratulations, adding that he had spent thirty years clashing with his daughter over her marriage and now, being older, he didn't have another thirty years to "waste" with his granddaughter. After Tian Jingzhi and Xue Lingqiao departed, Mr. Qiu Lao spoke with Tian Jingzhi's father and mother.
He asked Tian Jingzhi's father to promise one thing: that Tian Jingzhi would walk him down the aisle at her wedding, as his greatest regret was not witnessing his own daughter's marriage. If Tian Jingzhi's father agreed, all their past grievances would be forgotten. Tian Jingzhi's father reluctantly accepted. Mr. Qiu Lao then admired the antique vase Xue Lingqiao had given him, expressing his satisfaction with Xue Lingqiao's good manners and character, but most importantly, Tian Jingzhi's affection for him.
He asked Li Yanzhi, as Tian Jingzhi's uncle, to evaluate Xue Lingqiao, hinting at Tian Jingzhi's past misfortune in love. Li Yanzhi then revealed the secret: Tian Jingzhi's previous prolonged drowsiness was due to a pregnancy with a superhuman child. He explained that while the child was currently stable, there was no precedent for a superhuman birth, making a safe delivery uncertain.
Mr. Qiu Lao, deeply concerned, questioned if such a union could have a good outcome, emphasizing the vast difference in lifespans between humans and super humans and predicting a tragedy. He instructed Li Yanzhi to tell Xue Lingqiao to meet him the following day. Later, Li Yanzhi, through the phone, apologized to Xue Lingqiao for disclosing the pregnancy, explaining that as Tian Jingzhi and Xue Lingqiao were discussing marriage, he felt obligated to inform his adoptive father.
Xue Lingqiao understood and confirmed he would be there on time. The next day, Xue Lingqiao met Mr. Qiu Lao. Mr. Qiu Lao questioned the appropriateness of Xue Lingqiao calling him "Grandfather" given Xue Lingqiao's ancient age. Xue Lingqiao respectfully insisted it was proper as Tian Jingzhi's fiancé and a sign of his sincere gratitude. During their walk, Xue Lingqiao admitted he knew Mr. Qiu Lao wished for him to leave Tian Jingzhi.
Mr. Qiu Lao warned that because of him, Tian Jingzhi's entire life—personal and professional—would be disrupted, forcing her to live a life in hiding, just like Xue Lingqiao. Xue Lingqiao countered that he once shared this view, believing that leaving Tian Jingzhi would grant her a short, peaceful life. However, he later realized that separation caused her greater pain.
He cautioned that Mr. Qiu Lao's adamant opposition would only turn Tian Jingzhi into another Madam Mother, who defied her father to marry but found happiness and raised an outstanding daughter and granddaughter. Mr. Qiu Lao then raised concerns about their child, Xue Changan, worrying he might be taken for experimentation if discovered, and asserting that a superhuman's life was already a tragedy, so they shouldn't create another one.
Xue Lingqiao firmly stated that Xue Changan was their "Little Lucky Star," not a tragedy, and promised they would do everything to ensure his happy growth. He acknowledged Mr. Qiu Lao's concerns were significant but argued that life itself is about constantly overcoming various troubles. He concluded by asking Mr. Qiu Lao for his blessing. Separately, a police investigation began into the disappearance of a young woman who had gone missing two days prior after going out alone at night.
Her grandmother reported it, mentioning that her granddaughter had felt followed recently. The grandmother also found a newspaper article in her granddaughter's room about previous missing women cases that Officer Li Yanzhi had handled, leading her to believe there was a connection. She tearfully pleaded with Officer Li Yanzhi to send people to search the nearby caves.
Despite an officer's skepticism about finding the victim in the same location as previous cases, Officer Li Yanzhi ordered his team to immediately gather people and search all the surrounding caves. Later, Tian Jingzhi and Xue Lingqiao went to a screening of a new X-Men movie, with Feng Dongdong having purchased tickets and jokingly calling Xue Lingqiao her "fiancé." As they left the theater, they overheard other moviegoers discussing super humans.
Some expressed admiration and a desire to marry them and have "many little monkeys," while others advocated for locking up or even killing them due to the perceived danger and the fear of endless superhuman offspring. Tian Jingzhi playfully teased Xue Lingqiao, suggesting he must be flattered by the comments. She then seriously asked him how long after her death he would wait to find another partner.
Xue Lingqiao claimed he hadn't considered it, but Tian Jingzhi pressed him, even mentioning Bai Lu, whom Xue Lingqiao dismissed as having someone she liked. Tian Jingzhi then emphatically forbade him from ever taking another superhuman partner, asserting that she didn't want him to have an eternal companion when she was just a fleeting "firework." She also worried that another powerful superhuman might bully their son, Xue Changan. Xue Lingqiao conceded and agreed not to find a superhuman partner.
Tian Jingzhi then had a vivid hallucination of a future where Xue Lingqiao was visiting a "dead wives" cemetery filled with many gravestones. In this vision, he had married numerous times, and was even struggling to remember her name or who their son, Xue Changan, was, confusing her with another woman, Ye Meixiao. Enraged by this imagined forgetfulness and betrayal, Tian Jingzhi's hallucination escalated, and she furiously decreed that he was not allowed to marry any ordinary human woman either after her death.
