> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Chai Xiaoqi devised a plan to purify the Hormone Element. She decided to transfer the Hormone Element from her ring to Fang Leng's company, believing he could successfully purify it. Xiaobu warned her that this transfer would empty the ring, rendering it an ordinary piece of jewelry with no special function. Despite the warning, Xiaoqi expressed unwavering faith in Fang Leng's ability to succeed.
That night, she covertly entered the company, using her superpower to disable the surveillance cameras before successfully transferring the Hormone Element from her sapphire ring into a purification reagent bottle in the research department. The next day, Fang Leng's research team announced their success: they had obtained high-purity Hormone Element. They explained that a large quantity of hormones had been discovered in the collector Fang Leng wore, attributing the delayed results to the collector's system.
Fang Leng, pleased with the outcome, immediately instructed his team to study ways to mass-produce the Hormone Element and improve the collectors. While Xiaoqi was happy for Fang Leng, she soon became disheartened. With her mission on Earth nearing completion, she realized her time was running out, and the thought of leaving Fang Leng made her profoundly sad. Later, Xiaoqi found herself in a public square, making heart gestures towards a giant advertisement featuring Fang Leng.
Suddenly, an iron frame detached from a construction site, nearly hitting her. Xiaoqi instinctively tried to stop time but was surprised when it wasn't her own superpower at work. At that moment, Jiang Shiyi appeared, saving her. He formally introduced himself as Jilisiburadakaqikaqi No. 11, the current inspector of Cape Town Planet and a candidate for the next chief, explaining he was dispatched because her space-time travel had gone off track. He also mentioned a more important task awaited her.
Xiaoqi then understood why he had been so kind to her, realizing to her surprise that he, like Fang Leng, also harbored feelings for her. Back at Fang Leng's company, chaos ensued. The research department had been infiltrated, the purified Hormone Element smashed, and all surveillance equipment destroyed. Fang Leng, furious, ordered an immediate internal investigation, forbidding any employee from disclosing information externally or calling the police.
During the investigation, Chai Xiaoqi's employee tag was found at the scene, making her the prime suspect. When security staff attempted to intimidate Xiaoqi into confessing, Fang Leng intervened forcefully. He asserted that Xiaoqi, having contributed significantly to the Hormone Element's development, would not destroy it, and he forbade anyone from doubting their colleagues. Xiaoqi, however, privately expressed relief at the turn of events, as it meant she could stay on Earth longer.
Later, Jiang Shiyi visited Xiaoqi and subtly revealed he had intended to steal the Hormone Element himself when it reached high concentration, but had hesitated, allowing someone else to act first. During a company board meeting, Uncle Kang directly challenged Fang Leng's leadership, blaming him for the financial losses and specifically accusing Chai Xiaoqi as the culprit, citing her employee tag as evidence. Fang Leng argued that the tag was clearly a setup to frame her.
Uncle Kang gave Fang Leng three days to provide a satisfactory explanation for the incident, threatening that otherwise, Fang Leng would be forced to resign. Meanwhile, Xiaobu, having learned Jiang Shiyi's true identity and status as a chief candidate, privately wondered if he was the one who stole the Hormone Element. Xiaoqi dismissed the idea, reasoning that if he had, they would have been summoned back to their home planet already.
Xiaoqi also messaged Fang Leng to comfort him, acknowledging the immense pressure he was under. Despite the chaos, Xiaoqi was still happy for the extended stay on Earth. Fang Lie repeatedly tried to connect with Xiaobu, sending her messages asking to meet, but Xiaobu curtly rejected him, leading Fang Lie to suspect she had fallen out of love.
Xiaobu, experiencing accelerated heartbeat and flushed cheeks when around Fang Lie, confided in Chai, who explained these were classic symptoms of falling in love. Later, Xiaobu mentioned that her sapphire ring had a storage function, not just for physical objects but also for abstract information like memories. This sparked a thought in Xiaoqi, making her wish she could store the memory of Fang Leng protecting her. It was revealed that Uncle Kang was the true perpetrator.
He called Fang Leng's mother, boasting about orchestrating the sabotage at the research lab, though he lamented that his subordinate accidentally spilled the purified Hormone Element. Fang Leng's mother, who was abroad searching for evidence of Fang Leng's alleged illness, saw this crisis as an opportunity to further weaken his position and eventually oust him from the company. Fang Lie, desperate to see Xiaobu, disguised himself as a delivery man.
However, Xiaobu, experiencing the overwhelming symptoms of her "earth virus" which threatened to transform her into a tortoise, evaded him. Meanwhile, Fang Leng, having discovered a video of Uncle Kang's actions thanks to older, undismantled surveillance cameras, presented the evidence at a board meeting. Faced with the threat of police involvement, Uncle Kang immediately backed down, accepting full responsibility for the losses.
Fang Leng demanded not only financial compensation for the company's losses but also imposed a three-month probationary period, threatening suspension if further negligence occurred. Additionally, he insisted on a public apology from Uncle Kang to Chai Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi, thrilled by this outcome, found another reason to be happy about her extended stay on Earth. With the sabotage resolved, Fang Leng pushed forward with the "Hormone Element perfume" project, aiming for a press conference in two weeks.
Despite his busy schedule, he showed his tender affection for Xiaoqi, surprising her with flowers in his car's trunk. They shared a romantic embrace. Xiaoqi reflected on her love for Fang Leng, admitting a slight fear of violating her home planet's rules by falling for an Earthling, but confessed that all her fear vanished when he was by her side. She explained to him that love caused accelerated heartbeats, warm flushed faces, and tingling scalps, concluding that love was the sole reason for two people to be together.
