> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
After hearing Fang Leng's idea of recruiting several couples for their experiment to extract Hormone Element, Chai Xiaoqi thought it was a good idea. Fang Leng, mustering his courage, then confessed his feelings to Xiaoqi, telling her he liked her. Xiaoqi was surprised, recalling his initial dislike for her, how she had to pester him to join his company, and his past anger where he asked her to leave his life.
Fang Leng explained that he used to believe everyone was an independent individual and that concepts like "soulmates" were mere fiction created by screenwriters. However, he realized he wasn't against love; he just never imagined he would be so fortunate to meet someone as extraordinary as her, despite his own ordinary life. Xiaoqi was touched that he considered meeting her lucky.
Fang Leng then presented Xiaoqi with a necklace called "Wandering North Pole Star," a gift he had long wanted to give her. He explained that a North Star guides direction, and to him, she was his North Star, whom he had finally found after wandering for so long. He did not want to lose her and asked her to be his girlfriend. Xiaoqi's heart raced as she realized that being with him would also help her accomplish her mission.
She decided to agree, finding that she didn't mind him and even found their close interactions quite pleasant. Fang Leng then placed the necklace around her neck. Meanwhile, Fang Lie and Xiao Bu arrived at a hotel where only one room was available, forcing them to stay together. Xiao Bu was concerned that too much contact with Fang Lie would cause her system to malfunction and turn her back into a tortoise.
Fang Lie offered a solution, suggesting he sleep on the floor while she took the bed to ensure they wouldn't disturb each other. After Fang Lie went to shower, Xiao Bu became thirsty and sought the fridge. When she accidentally caught sight of Fang Lie's exposed body, her system began to overheat, causing her to transform into a tortoise. She quickly retreated into the fridge to cool down.
Later, Xiao Bu reported the successful mission progress to her Master, who still appeared unhappy. Chai Xiaoqi then complained to Fang Leng about his lack of engagement on social media after she officially announced their relationship, noting he hadn't even liked her post. He promptly liked it. They playfully bickered about his WeChat username, with Fang Leng changing his "Great Demon King" name to "Milk Green Tea" and referring to Xiaoqi as "Taro."
They joked about who would initiate "bobo" (a play on words for "kiss" and "boba") and who would take the initiative in their relationship. Xiaoqi privately thought that being in love felt wonderful because it allowed her to openly absorb hormones from Fang Leng. The next morning, Fang Leng prepared breakfast for Xiaoqi. Ke Ren arrived and observed their affectionate dynamic, believing that entrusting the hormone purification project to a couple would greatly increase the success rate.
Fang Lie and Xiao Bu then joined them. Xiao Bu subtly tried to signal to Xiaoqi for help to avoid spending more time with Fang Lie. However, Xiaoqi misunderstood, thinking Xiao Bu wanted to stay and spend more time with Fang Lie. She enthusiastically encouraged Fang Lie to let Xiao Bu stay, promising to cover for her with Chai. Xiao Bu looked utterly resigned.
Fang Leng and Xiaoqi returned to the company, where Assistant Han enthusiastically congratulated them, remarking that their relationship provided new material for his novel. Meanwhile, seeing Chai and Dr. Zhang at the milk tea shop displaying affection, Fang Leng and Xiaoqi learned that Chai had openly announced she and Dr. Zhang were officially together. Fang Leng, embracing the new family dynamic, immediately addressed Dr. Zhang as "brother-in-law."
At the company, employees were abuzz about Fang Leng and Xiaoqi's relationship, making Xiaoqi feel a bit shy. Before their public announcement, Fang Leng called Xiaoqi to his office under the guise of work, though it quickly became clear he simply wanted to be close to her, jokingly suggesting he needed to "recharge." They playfully argued about public displays of affection in the office.
During a meeting, Fang Leng announced that he and Xiaoqi would be the fifth pair for hormone extraction, in addition to the four other couples selected. To ensure optimal experimental results, the staff decided that the couples could not meet or contact each other before the experiment, which was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. This decision seemed cruel to the newly infatuated Fang Leng and Xiaoqi. Fang Leng became restless in his office, struggling to resist calling Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi felt the same, managing to hold strong by deliberately deleting Fang Leng's WeChat contact, fearing he might be tempted to contact her or that she herself might be tempted. Jiang Shiyi came to see Xiaoqi and warned her against trusting certain people who might have hurt her. However, Xiaoqi chose to trust Fang Leng, believing he would not deceive her. Meanwhile, Fang Leng visited Xiaoqi at the milk tea shop, where they shared sweet moments, flirting through the window.
Elsewhere, Xiao Bu accompanied Fang Lie on a sketching outing. Xiao Bu deliberately avoided his gaze, but when she accidentally brushed against his body, her system overheated again. Fortunately, she had prepared cooling patches for her head, allowing the sketching session to continue. She lamented that Earth was too dangerous and incompatible with her system, longing for her home planet. The experiment began. Xiaoqi discovered that her ring was intercepting the collection of hormones, causing the data to appear abnormal.
Despite their efforts, only a negligible amount of hormones, 0. 5%, was extracted. Xiaoqi comforted Fang Leng, assuring him that failure was just the beginning of success. She expressed her desire to "recharge" by being close to him, stating she couldn't break her "bad habit" because his hormones smelled too strong. Fang Leng playfully questioned whether she liked his hormones or him more. Xiaoqi asked if there was a difference, calling him a "walking hormone."
She then asked what he liked about her, listing her intelligence, cuteness, or beauty. Fang Leng pondered for a moment before affectionately teasing that he liked her "stupidity." Xiaoqi playfully lunged at him. Fang Leng then confessed more deeply, recalling how her sudden presence had initially felt bizarre and had disrupted his life. But as she joined his company, he witnessed her invaluable quality and passionate drive, especially during her gym live stream.
He noted how she never gave up despite difficulties, always striving to do her best. He concluded that she was fortunate to be "foolish" because if she had been smarter, she wouldn't be "so awesome today."
