> My Amazing Boyfriend 2 Recap
Tian Jingzhi speculated that Lion, a superhuman, was the man Bai Lu had feelings for. She believed Bai Lu hesitated to introduce Lion to her because she feared Lion would be instantly smitten with Tian Jingzhi, overshadowing Bai Lu. Xue Lingqiao, however, explained that Tian Jingzhi already knew too many super humans, and in non-essential circumstances, Bai Lu would not introduce Lion to her.
Tian Jingzhi then quizzed Xue Lingqiao about Lion, asking if he was handsome, richer than Xue Lingqiao, or her type, to which Xue Lingqiao gave dismissive answers, prompting Tian Jingzhi to jokingly remark that his responses made him sound insecure. Later, Yun Zhen explained to Xue Lingqiao that Tian Jingzhi's recent tendency to boast about her own excellence, occasionally undermine Xue Lingqiao's confidence, and vividly imagine scenarios of him cheating, were all symptoms of "anxiety about love."
He likened it to a wealthy person's anxieties about their assets, applying the same fears of devaluation, coveting, and unclear wills to the realm of love, where women worry about love fading, partners cheating, or how soon their partner would move on after their death. Tian Jingzhi then expressed her envy to Bai Lu about her eternal youth.
Bai Lu suggested that Xue Lingqiao could feed her blood for perpetual youth, but Tian Jingzhi swiftly rejected the idea, stating that she didn't want to meet the same fate as Hong Shiguang, implying the negative consequences of such a dependency. Yun Zhen attempted to instruct Xue Lingqiao on how to respond to common questions from women, such as "Do you love me?"
He demonstrated how both quick and delayed answers could be problematic and offered "correct" answers, like affectionate declarations or simply a kiss, explaining that women desire answers that exceed their expectations. Seeing Tian Jingzhi observing from a hidden spot, Xue Lingqiao abruptly stopped the lesson. Xue Lingqiao then physically rebuked Yun Zhen, accusing him of teaching deceptive tricks and asserting the importance of sincerity.
Bai Lu, witnessing the scene, immediately recognized Xue Lingqiao's actions as a pretense for Tian Jingzhi's benefit. Tian Jingzhi then confronted Yun Zhen, demanding that he move out of Xue Lingqiao's home, asserting he no longer had a reason to stay after his final date with Ye Meixiao, regardless of the outcome. She justified her demand by claiming Xue Lingqiao was "innocent" and that Yun Zhen's "messing around" was a "bad influence" that could lead Xue Lingqiao astray.
Yun Zhen dramatically lamented their lack of loyalty, likening himself to a tool discarded after its use and blaming Tian Jingzhi's "anxiety about love" for making him a scapegoat. Meanwhile, Special Assistant Yue offered Tian Jingzhi a role in a Hollywood sci-fi film that his company was co-investing in. Tian Jingzhi, envisioning a path to international stardom and an Oscar, reviewed the proposed roles.
The film was set centuries in the future, depicting a world where only gene mutation survivors remained due to environmental degradation. She was offered roles like a green-skinned character who could photosynthesize, a mermaid with gills and a tail, or an alien that would require extensive special effects, rendering her unrecognizable. Finding it difficult to choose, she decided to consult with Special Assistant Yue, who was on a lengthy phone call.
Tian Jingzhi shared the good news about Hollywood with Xue Lingqiao, who was engrossed in child psychology books. He explained that he was preparing for Xue Changan, wanting to ensure he learns to hide his unique abilities to avoid discrimination. Xue Lingqiao even revealed his plan to become a kindergarten teacher at Xue Changan's school to constantly watch over him, having dismissed the idea of a private kindergarten to prevent Xue Changan from becoming lonely or anti-social.
Touched by his thoughtfulness, Tian Jingzhi playfully asked who he loved more: her or Xue Changan. Just then, Xue Lingqiao received a phone call from Li Yanzhi. Another female body had been discovered in a cave, bearing multiple injuries and significant blood loss, similar to previous victims. Li Yanzhi suspected a mutant's involvement and asked Xue Lingqiao for assistance, revealing that super humans were forming an organization.
He showed Xue Lingqiao a picture of the victim, identifying her as Fox, but Xue Lingqiao denied ever meeting her, despite the prior episode hinting at Yun Zhen's interaction with her. Li Yanzhi urged Xue Lingqiao to be vigilant for any contact from the mutant organization to prevent further harm to innocent people. When Xue Lingqiao returned home, he found Tian Jingzhi waiting for him, worried because of Li Yanzhi's call and the news about the cave murders.
She asked if Li Yanzhi suspected him, which Xue Lingqiao denied. He reassured her that he would not put himself in danger for her and Xue Changan's sake. He then carried her to their bedroom, kissed her forehead, and bid her goodnight before leaving the room, leaving Tian Jingzhi perplexed by his departure, though she acknowledged his upright and gentlemanly nature. Separately, Tian Jingzhi met Ye Meixiao at a cafe.
She informed Ye Meixiao that Yun Zhen had moved out of their home, suggesting it would make him more attentive to Ye Meixiao. Ye Meixiao expressed concerns that Yun Zhen might resort to finding new girlfriends when he was lonely, as he had in the past, and declared that she would not tolerate such behavior before their impending breakup. Later, Xue Lingqiao discovered Yun Zhen preparing to flee his own residence.
Yun Zhen admitted that agents from the S organization had recently tried to apprehend him, accusing him of Fox's murder. He vehemently denied the accusation and expressed fear of being captured and experimented on. Yun Zhen detailed the challenges of life on the run, including avoiding electronic surveillance and using non-sequential cash, blaming the S organization's discovery on his past sale of his girlfriend's jewelry.
Xue Lingqiao urged him to return and explain himself to Bai Lu, reminding him of their history. However, Yun Zhen rejected the idea, asserting that the S organization operated on strict principles, not personal relationships, and insisted on making his escape before it was too late.
