> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Xiaoqi expressed concern about how she would complete her mission, given Jiang Shiyi had expended significant energy in her rescue. However, Fang Leng reassured her, revealing that he had retained a supply of Hormone Element in the Research Department and intended to send it to Jiang Shiyi.
When Xiaoqi questioned this, recalling his previous claim that all Hormone Element was destroyed, Fang Leng admitted he had fabricated the story to entice her back to his company and resume his pursuit of her. Later, during a hotpot dinner prepared by Fang Lie, Fang Leng playfully forbade Xiaoqi from eating pig brains, deeming it inauspicious and suggestive of brainwashing. Instead, he offered her lobster, metaphorically implying a wish for her to stay.
He expressed immense joy, feeling their lives had finally "returned to normal." Fang Lie, openly expressing his dislike for Jiang Shiyi, labeled him a "playboy" with ulterior motives. Fang Lie then shifted the conversation to a sensitive topic: Xiaoqi’s genetic compatibility with Jiang Shiyi. Xiaoqi revealed their match was an astonishing 99%, the highest ever recorded on Cape Town Planet.
This revelation visibly unsettled Fang Leng, who, in a sudden change of heart, urged Xiaoqi to eat the pig brains he had just prohibited, suggesting it was "good for your brain," a thinly veiled jab at her connection to Jiang Shiyi. He also extended this advice to Xiao Bu. Despite Xiaoqi's questioning, Fang Leng denied being upset, rationalizing that genetic matches were merely "data extrapolations" that "couldn't calculate feelings."
The following day, Fang Leng remained fixated on the genetic compatibility issue. When Mr. Han reported on the mass production of Hormone Element and Ms. Chai's involvement, Fang Leng pressed Xiaoqi on whether she and Jiang Shiyi could "break the genetic match." Xiaoqi, initially confused, quickly understood his lingering concern. Fang Leng criticized Cape Town Planet as "backward thinking" for its lack of "freedom to marry." Xiaoqi vehemently defended her home planet from his insults.
Fang Leng adamantly stated his desire for his girlfriend not to be 99% compatible with anyone else. Xiaoqi countered by pointing out that Xiao Bu and Fang Lie, in a "cross-species" relationship (robot and human), didn't care about genetic matching, causing Fang Leng to express surprise at the "robot" revelation. He even considered having his tech department create a program to measure compatibility for different species.
Mr. Han, overwhelmed by the revelations, felt his "worldview collapsing" and worried about knowing too much, fearing he might be "silenced." He quickly decided that his priority was to help the "boss and boss lady" resolve their conflict, and suggested the earthly tradition of "meeting the parents" as the ultimate test of a couple's compatibility. Following Mr. Han's suggestion, Ms. Chai took it upon herself to prepare Xiaoqi and Xiao Bu for meeting Fang Leng and Fang Lie's parents.
She conducted a rigorous "Code of Conduct for Meeting Parents" lecture, likening the experience to interacting with superiors: one must pretend to believe all pleasantries to build rapport and gain favor. Ms. Chai specifically warned Xiaoqi that Zhou Siqin, Fang Leng's mother, might show preferential treatment towards Xiao Bu, as Fang Leng was her step-son while Fang Lie was her biological child.
This warning made Xiaoqi anxious, as she recalled having previously "ripped off" Zhou Siqin, adding to her nervousness about the upcoming visit. Just as the lesson was intensifying, Fang Leng and Fang Lie arrived. Fang Leng had brought numerous gifts for his parents, including a tonic for his father and a designer bag for his mother, instructing Xiaoqi to present them as her own and claim she had specially queued to purchase the bag.
Fang Lie also mentioned that he and Xiao Bu had prepared a cake personally for them. Xiao Bu too had a multitude of items to prepare, even asking Fang Leng to help her choose an outfit for the big day. Ms. Chai, exasperated, watched them leave, lamenting that her crucial lecture was far from over. Upon their arrival at the family home, Fang Lie received a warm embrace from his mother, Zhou Siqin, who affectionately welcomed him back.
Fang Leng then introduced Xiaoqi and Xiao Bu to his parents. While Fang Lie's father, Fang Shida, appeared welcoming, inviting them to sit, Zhou Siqin maintained a more reserved demeanor towards the girls. She questioned Fang Leng about the numerous gifts he brought, to which he clarified they were from Xiao Bu and Xiaoqi. Fang Lie presented the homemade cake to his father, who seemed pleased.
Xiaoqi observed the subtle dynamics, noting that the reality of meeting the parents differed from Ms. Chai's predictions, finding "human women complex." She also noticed a strained, formal interaction between Fang Leng and his father, resembling that of "strangers," although Fang Leng insisted it was their "normal" way of communicating, keeping emotions unexpressed. Zhou Siqin then directed her attention to Xiao Bu, asking for her name (Kubri), age, and occupation, pointedly ignoring Fang Lie’s attempts to interject.
She openly critiqued Xiao Bu's appearance, acknowledging she was "not bad looking" with a "decent body," but ultimately found her lacking in "posture" and "taste," concluding that Xiao Bu was from a "small family" and "didn't deserve Fang Lie." Despite Fang Lie’s attempts to defend her, Xiao Bu recalled Ms. Chai's lesson on "reading minds" and "finding out what they like" to build trust. She complimented Zhou Siqin's bracelet, inquiring if it was an antique.
Zhou Siqin proudly recounted that her best friend, Zhang Cuihua, had sold it to her cheaply, claiming it was a Yongzheng-era piece. Xiao Bu, utilizing her advanced scanning capabilities, respectfully corrected her, stating the jade was of good quality but dated from the Republican period. Realizing she had been deceived by Zhang Cuihua, Zhou Siqin was indignant and vowed to confront her.
Impressed by Xiao Bu's expertise, Zhou Siqin led her to her room, eager to have her other jewelry appraised. Xiao Bu identified a ruby necklace as a valuable investment, predicting its price would double within three years and advising her to keep it carefully. Delighted, Zhou Siqin imagined flaunting it to Zhang Cuihua. Fang Lie’s comment that the necklace was "old-fashioned" earned him a stern reprimand from his mother.
Continuing to impress, Xiao Bu employed the "second trick to conquer parents" by catering to Zhou Siqin's tastes. She skillfully praised Zhou Siqin’s baroque-style ruby necklace, stating it enhanced her "elegant temperament," which delighted the older woman. Xiao Bu then offered to adjust Zhou Siqin’s makeup to better complement the necklace, revealing her unexpected talent for beauty. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Fang Leng was attempting to cook with his father, Fang Shida.
Fang Leng struggled with preparing traditional dishes like "fish-fragrant eggplant" and "egg custard," confessing his unfamiliarity with home cooking. Fang Shida, gently chiding his son's culinary ineptitude, took over, sharing that he learned to cook by observing his wife. He reminisced about how "fish-fragrant eggplant" was his wife's favorite, a dish he taught himself to make after she developed an allergy to fish, making it the first meal he ever prepared for her.
Fang Leng recalled his mother making "egg custard" when he was ill, to which Fang Shida revealed that he was actually the one who made it, as his wife struggled with temperature control, often resulting in an overcooked, bitter dish. Fang Shida confessed that while he learned most of his cooking from his wife, "fish-fragrant eggplant" and "egg custard" were exceptions he mastered independently, a fact he had never bothered to mention.
Xiaoqi, tasting the dishes, found them delicious, remarking on the attractiveness of a man who could cook. Fang Shida playfully teased Fang Leng about his poor culinary skills, suggesting only Xiaoqi would tolerate them, before symbolically entrusting his son to her care. Back with Zhou Siqin, she was admiring her new hairstyle, a testament to Xiao Bu's artistry, and praising Xiao Bu's honesty.
Zhou Siqin then asked Fang Lie to pour coffee for Xiao Bu, but in a moment of clumsiness, Fang Lie accidentally spilled hot coffee on his mother's precious ruby necklace and expensive clothes. Panicked, he worried the stain wouldn't come out. Xiao Bu, recalling Ms. Chai’s "third trick to conquer parents" – being attentive and solving problems – quickly reassured Zhou Siqin.
She then utilized her unique abilities, employing high-frequency vibrations to instantly clean and dry the garment, leaving Zhou Siqin utterly astonished. Zhou Siqin immediately turned on Fang Lie, declaring him "unworthy of Xiao Bu" and even suggesting she might introduce Xiao Bu to the "eldest son of Zhang Group" if things didn't work out. Fang Lie was taken aback. Zhou Siqin continued to berate him, calling him useless and only good for his "long legs."
In defense, Fang Lie revealed his hidden talent for drawing, proudly stating he had won a championship and had even refused a one-million RMB offer for a painting of Xiao Bu. Zhou Siqin initially reacted with anger, reminding him of his promise to forsake drawing for serious study. Fang Lie quickly apologized, explaining he had kept it a secret to avoid her anger and emphasized that his art pursuits had not interfered with his studies.
Seeing the substantial monetary value of his art, Zhou Siqin's anger quickly morphed into excitement. She encouraged him to pursue drawing as a "side job," urging him to produce a painting every day, ideally each selling for a million, imagining the fortune they could amass. Fang Lie further revealed that Xiao Bu had taught him to draw and helped him win the competition, greatly increasing Zhou Siqin's admiration for Xiao Bu.
Overwhelmed, Zhou Siqin praised Xiao Bu as "outstanding" and urged her not to "despise" Fang Lie, assuring her of his inherent kindness and responsibility. She then directly proposed that Xiao Bu marry Fang Lie, citing his age. Xiao Bu agreed to "take good care of him," but Zhou Siqin clarified her intent: she wanted Xiao Bu to continue teaching Fang Lie to draw, aiming for each artwork to be valued at one million RMB, so they could "get rich together."
Fang Lie, exasperated, complained about his mother's constant focus on money. Zhou Siqin then offered Xiao Bu some sweet red grapes. However, the momentary peace was shattered when Fang Lie dropped another bombshell, confessing he hadn't actually been attending "Cape Town University" as he had claimed, but had been secretly learning to draw at a studio. This revelation sent his mother into a furious chase around the house.
Following his recovery, Jiang Shiyi noticed a significant increase in his superpowers after the Hormone Element fully decomposed within him. He speculated that a special element within it had not only enhanced his survival capabilities but also strengthened his powers. He recalled the difficult decomposition process, realizing he might not have survived without enduring it.
He then questioned the origin of a bottle of Hormone Element, learning it was sent by Fang Leng during his coma, leading him to wonder if Fang Leng wished him to leave sooner. Jiang Shiyi also calculated that a return trip to their home planet would take at least half a month. He inquired about Xiaoqi's well-being. Candy, his AI assistant, reported that Xiaoqi was with Fang Leng, had met his parents, and was currently at the milk tea shop.
Crucially, Candy detected that Xiaoqi's powers were exhibiting signs of "loss of control," calculating that it was her seventy-sixth day on Earth. Xiaoqi herself was experiencing dizziness and found her superpowers malfunctioning. Though Xiao Bu’s scan indicated her body was physically normal, Xiaoqi felt an undeniable internal abnormality. Jiang Shiyi arrived, visibly concerned about Xiaoqi’s deteriorating health. He explained that Cape Townians required consistent maintenance of their "survival energy" on Earth.
He told Xiaoqi that her prolonged stay on Earth, coupled with the energy expenditure from defending Fang Leng, had severely depleted her reserves, causing her powers to fail and her body to send "warning signals" like dizziness. He urged her to return to their home planet. Xiaoqi, however, adamantly refused, unwilling to leave Fang Leng. She secretly asked Xiao Bu to calculate her remaining survival time on Earth without using her powers.
Xiao Bu’s analysis delivered a bleak prognosis: Xiaoqi could survive "no more than a month at most," approximately twenty-eight days, during which her body would progressively weaken, eventually making even simple walking a strenuous task. Xiaoqi, overwhelmed with sadness, made Jiang Shiyi and Xiao Bu promise not to reveal her precarious condition to Fang Leng, instead expressing her desire to use her limited time to fulfill wishes with him.
Later, Fang Leng arrived with fried chicken for Xiaoqi, noticing her lethargic demeanor. Xiaoqi, however, declined the offer, claiming she was "too fat" and would eat it later. She then confessed that she felt Fang Leng always knew her preferences and acted on them, while she, in turn, had done little for him. She tenderly asked if he had any deeply cherished desires or "really, really, really" wanted to do anything in particular.
Fang Leng, with affection, simply stated that he loved her, and therefore, anything they did together was something he enjoyed. Xiaoqi then suggested he compile a "wish list" of his most desired experiences, promising to help him fulfill each one starting the very next day. Fang Leng, eager, insisted she begin thinking about the list immediately, and the couple shared a loving embrace.
