My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 24 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Chai Xiaoqi found herself forcefully restrained by Jiang Shiyi, protesting that his actions violated the fundamental human rights laws of Cape Town Planet. Jiang Shiyi, however, attempted to appease her with her favorite fried chicken and cake, recounting how he had waited thirty minutes for one of the cakes. He questioned why she had deceived him, to which Xiaoqi responded that she had unintentionally done so, but her feelings would not change regardless of how long she was confined.
Jiang Shiyi then reminded her of their past on their home planet, where he had been selected as a candidate for chief and had been deeply affected by her words about sincerity between friends. He revealed that he was her genetic match and had always cherished her as the only person he cared for and his only friend, intending to bring her home as his official partner. He asserted that everything he did was to protect her.
Xiaoqi, however, confessed she barely remembered those early days and firmly stated that despite their genetic compatibility, it was merely data and held no meaning for her. She declared her undeniable love for Fang Leng, acknowledging that she had violated their home planet's rules but insisted her feelings were irreversible. Seeing her unwavering resolve, Jiang Shiyi maintained his hold on her, effectively confining her.
Meanwhile, Xiao Bu detected that the fluctuating magnetic field had vanished, concluding that Xiaoqi had been captured again. Fang Leng, recalling his previous inability to see Xiaoqi despite sensing her presence, inquired if their planet possessed a function that could contain individuals in a hidden location. Xiao Bu identified this as a barrier, a special skill primarily used by robots like Candy.
To break through Candy's firewall and locate Xiaoqi, Xiao Bu explained she would need a computer with a more powerful CPU, to which Fang Leng confidently responded that he had a solution. Xiao Bu, a 3. 0 version Kubri, utilizing the advanced computer in Fang Leng's company's research department, initiated an invasion of Candy's defense system. Candy quickly detected the intrusion and retaliated.
Despite suffering from overheating and being warned of turning into a "little turtle" (her resting state), Xiao Bu insisted on continuing, believing it was the only way to break the barrier and rescue Xiaoqi, and unleashed what she called her "Love Program," an emotional program influenced by Earth. As Candy struggled against this programming, Jiang Shiyi intervened, cutting off her system.
He acknowledged the potency of the attack, explaining that while he could temporarily block its signals, if the "Love Program" continued, the barrier would inevitably break. With little time remaining, Jiang Shiyi felt he had no other option. Convinced that Xiaoqi's love for Fang Leng was merely an illusion caused by his hormones, Jiang Shiyi resolved to absorb the concentrated Hormone Element himself, believing that if he smelled like Fang Leng, Xiaoqi would agree to return home with him.
Candy vehemently protested, warning that the Hormone Element was a banned substance on their planet and would cause severe, even permanent, damage to his body. Jiang Shiyi, however, ignored her pleas, determined to prove his point. Xiaoqi, waking up within the barrier, immediately sensed Fang Leng's familiar scent and noticed the barrier had disappeared. Her relief quickly turned to confusion when she saw Jiang Shiyi standing before her.
He explained his drastic action, asserting that he only wanted to prove she did not truly love Fang Leng but was merely under the influence of his hormones. Xiaoqi vehemently denied this, reaffirming her love for Fang Leng. Meanwhile, the Chief contacted Jiang Shiyi, noticing his energy instability and physical repercussions, caused by the hormone absorption, and urged him to return quickly. Despite the Chief's orders, Xiaoqi remained determined to stay.
Faced with this dilemma, Jiang Shiyi decided he had only one final recourse: formatting Xiaoqi's mind. He informed Xiaoqi that he had originally suggested this formatting to the Chief back on their home planet but never anticipated having to perform it himself.
Despite Candy's renewed warnings about the immense energy consumption and permanent bodily harm, especially given his current weakened state, Jiang Shiyi insisted, forcefully telling Xiaoqi that her relationship with Fang Leng was merely for a mission, that she did not love him, and that Jiang Shiyi was her true genetic match whom she should obey. Xiaoqi, however, subconsciously resisted the formatting due to her deep-seated emotional connection to Earth.
Fang Leng devised a new strategy, planning to use a contract negotiation to stall Jiang Shiyi, thereby giving Xiao Bu time to search for Xiaoqi within Jiang Shiyi's company. He visited Jiang Shiyi's office under the guise of renegotiating a contract, questioning its terms regarding payment currency, whether Earth money or Cape Town crystals. He deliberately prolonged the discussion, claiming he needed his assistant to clarify the details. Jiang Shiyi then summoned Xiaoqi, who entered the room.
Fang Leng tried to speak with her, but Xiaoqi, now acting as Jiang Shiyi's assistant, coldly told Fang Leng to show respect. She mechanically reiterated that her past association with him was solely for mission completion, stating she had no feelings for him and that their relationship was over. A distressed Fang Leng confronted Jiang Shiyi, who calmly told him to maintain his distance from Xiaoqi. Jiang Shiyi praised Xiaoqi's performance and dismissed both of them.
Outside, Xiao Bu, who had been searching for Xiaoqi, found her. Xiao Bu tried to remind Xiaoqi of Fang Leng, but Xiaoqi declared she had broken up with him, stating that her planet forbade love and her previous relationship was merely to fulfill a mission. Xiao Bu attempted to examine her, fearing she was ill, but Jiang Shiyi appeared, accusing Xiao Bu of meddling and dismissing her as a "low-end robot." He then led Xiaoqi away.
Xiao Bu explained to a troubled Fang Leng that Jiang Shiyi had likely performed a mind formatting on Xiaoqi. She clarified that while Xiaoqi still recognized them, her emotional connections had been erased, leaving her convinced she no longer loved Fang Leng. Xiao Bu stressed that the only safe way to restore Xiaoqi's memories was for her to recover them naturally.
To initiate Xiaoqi's memory recovery, Xiao Bu sent her a message asking her to pick up her luggage from the milk tea shop. Jiang Shiyi, despite Xiaoqi's newfound obedience, felt uneasy and followed her. During her trip, he shielded her from a stray basketball, which, combined with his previous absorption of the Hormone Element and possibly using time-stop abilities, caused him to collapse from extreme weakness.
Xiaoqi, without hesitation, took the unconscious Jiang Shiyi back to his home and began to care for him. She tended to him diligently, even attempting to use her powers to alleviate his pain and offering him candy, showing remnants of her old considerate nature. Jiang Shiyi, observing her gentle care, noted to his robot, Candy, that while Xiaoqi was now perfectly obedient, something felt missing in her personality.
Upon her return, Chai was informed of the recent events, expressing her long-standing dislike for Jiang Shiyi's methods. Xiaoqi, meanwhile, kept pressing Candy to explain why Jiang Shiyi was so weak. After initial reluctance, Candy revealed the full extent of Jiang Shiyi's sacrifices: he had pleaded for Xiaoqi to be spared severe punishment and exile, offering his status as a leader candidate as a guarantee for her.
The elders then agreed to let her atone by performing a mission on Earth. Candy also revealed that Jiang Shiyi had deliberately concealed her forbidden Earthly emotions from the Chief, had secretly followed her to Earth, acting as her guardian, assisting her in various tasks, and even contemplating abandoning his candidacy to bring her home.
Candy then revealed that Jiang Shiyi had absorbed the dangerous Hormone Element himself, enduring immense physical pain, solely to make Xiaoqi realize that her feelings for Fang Leng were merely a hormonal illusion. This revelation visibly impacted Xiaoqi. Later, when Xiao Bu called, Xiaoqi declined to meet, stating that she needed to care for the ailing Jiang Shiyi.
Xiao Bu suggested Fang Leng feign a terminal illness to garner Xiaoqi's sympathy, but Fang Leng believed it wouldn't work on the "new" Xiaoqi. Chai then proposed an ingenious plan: Fang Leng should adopt the exact "stalking" and "brazen" tactics Xiaoqi had once used to pursue him, effectively reversing their roles. She believed that relentless pursuit would re-sensitize Xiaoqi and help her recover her memories. Fang Leng, despite his initial distress, found the idea appealing.
As Fang Leng prepared to implement the plan, Xiaoqi continued to meticulously care for Jiang Shiyi, making him small wontons and even offering to replicate Earth sweets for him once they returned to their home planet, displaying a newfound domesticity, yet still largely influenced by the formatting.
