My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 28 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Aware of her limited time on Earth, Xiaoqi eagerly expressed her desire to spend every moment with Fang Leng. She urged him to create a wishlist of things he most wanted to do, promising to fulfill each one. Fang Leng initially suggested writing it later, but Xiaoqi insisted he do it immediately. Her unusual urgency made Fang Leng suspicious, and he later discreetly questioned Xiaobu about Xiaoqi's well-being or any strange behavior.
Xiaobu, bound by Xiaoqi's request to keep her condition a secret, feigned ignorance and assured Fang Leng that everything was fine. Fang Leng eventually compiled a simple yet meaningful wishlist, focusing on shared experiences like wearing couple shirts, singing for each other, and eating fried chicken together. As they began fulfilling these wishes, enjoying their time, Xiaoqi suddenly became very weak one evening after a day out.
She tried to dismiss it as mere fatigue from lack of sleep and too much walking, even insisting Fang Leng leave, fabricating an excuse about kicking him in her sleep. Concerned, Fang Leng reluctantly departed, asking her to call if anything happened. Soon after, Xiaobu arrived.
Fang Leng then sought out Jiang Shiyi, who confirmed the true gravity of Xiaoqi's condition, revealing that Xiaoqi had specifically asked them to keep her deteriorating health a secret from Fang Leng, still worrying about him even in her dire state. Jiang Shiyi directly challenged Fang Leng, asking if he could bear to watch Xiaoqi die on Earth. Overcome with determination, Fang Leng declared he would convince Xiaoqi to return to her home planet with Jiang Shiyi.
However, Jiang Shiyi presented a "second option": he had previously absorbed Fang Leng's Hormone Element and discovered a special element within it. If purified into a survival potion that Xiaoqi could directly absorb, this element could sustain her on Earth. He warned Fang Leng that if he failed, Jiang Shiyi would make the decision that was best for Xiaoqi. Fang Leng accepted the challenge, understanding the immense task ahead.
He then spoke to a weakened Xiaoqi, apologizing for his carelessness in not realizing her condition sooner. Xiaoqi reassured him that she had hidden it to spare him worry and simply wanted their remaining time together to be joyful. Fang Leng, now knowing the potential solution, promised to begin experiments in the scientific research department the very next morning to ensure she could remain on Earth. Fang Leng devoted himself tirelessly to extracting and purifying the special element.
He worked day and night in the scientific research department, his exhaustion evident despite Xiaoqi's daily "lovely meals" and urges to rest. He successfully obtained the "first trial potion" but worried about its potential harm to Xiaoqi if it wasn't pure enough. Since his AI, Candy, could only monitor her owner's body and not an unknown substance, Jiang Shiyi courageously volunteered to test the potion himself.
He reassured Fang Leng and Candy that he had previously decomposed Fang Leng's hormones and possessed some immunity, believing any adverse reaction would be temporary. Candy's subsequent scan confirmed that while the potion contained the special healing element, it still had too many impurities that could harm the body. Candy advised that further purification would significantly increase its success rate. Fang Leng, seeing hope, thanked Jiang Shiyi and vowed to continue his efforts.
Later, Xiaoqi found Fang Leng in the lab and noticed his bloodshot eyes, asking if he had been sleeping. Fang Leng downplayed his fatigue and shared the good news that Candy believed further purification would make the potion usable. He informed her that the technology department would have the "second trial potion" ready by the next morning.
When Xiaoqi expressed feeling useless, Fang Leng simply told her to rest and take care of herself, before playfully asking her to "recharge" him with a hug, which she lovingly gave. The scientific research department swiftly improved the filter system for the "second survival potion." Candy's next assessment confirmed no immediate rejection, indicating high purity. However, there was no significant increase in survival energy, suggesting a few days of observation were still needed.
Jiang Shiyi sent Fang Leng back, promising to notify him when final results were in, noting a 98% success rate based on current analysis. Meanwhile, Xiaobu strictly enforced Xiaoqi's diet, allowing only water, as solid food would consume precious energy. Xiaoqi, frustrated by the lack of news from Jiang Shiyi, felt the days dragging on. Finally, Fang Leng returned with joyous news: Jiang Shiyi had contacted him, confirming the "second survival potion" was a success!
Xiaoqi could now stay on Earth forever. Everyone rejoiced, though Xiaoqi noticed a cut on Fang Leng's hand, which he dismissed as a lab accident. He then suggested a grand celebration, having already planned something special for her. During their conversation about the upcoming celebration, Xiaoqi commented on a small, seemingly ordinary ring she had seen, finding it both expensive and uninspired.
Fang Leng explained that his recent busy work schedule had prevented them from going on lavish trips to destinations like Maldives, Turkey, and Thailand, which he had initially considered for their celebration. Instead, he proposed a simpler, yet meaningful, destination: Wetlands Park. Xiaoqi recounted filling out numerous surveys at various shops, finding it very strange. Fang Leng explained it as a popular marketing gimmick, but Xiaoqi still felt he was hiding something, sensing a troubled look in his eyes.
Xiaobu and Chai tried to divert her suspicion, assuring her that his gaze was simply a sign of love and denying any secrets. That night, Xiaoqi found Fang Leng still awake, seemingly hiding some work-related items. Despite his reassurances that it was just work-related and something to be discarded, she still had a "bad feeling" that he was concealing something. He held her close, telling her not to overthink it, and that he was there for her.
The next morning, Fang Leng dropped Xiaoqi off at the Wetlands Park, telling her to explore while he attended a meeting. As Xiaoqi walked across a wooden bridge, she discovered numerous paintings depicting their shared memories and love story, all strategically placed to lead her to the other side. There, Fang Leng, Xiaobu, Chai, and Fang Lie awaited her.
Fang Leng then revealed that he had recovered the sapphire ring, which had witnessed their entire relationship, deeming it the most fitting ring for his proposal. Kneeling, he expressed his deep love, telling her that she had done so much for him, and he wished for her to be the only one in his future memories. He asked her to marry him. Overwhelmed and shy, Xiaoqi initially turned away, saying she needed time to consider.
Fang Leng, momentarily flustered, was relieved when she turned back, asking a series of playful questions about whether he would buy her fried chicken, make all her meals, and always spend time with her. He agreed to everything, and she finally extended her hand for the ring. Everyone cheered and toasted to the newly engaged couple.
Chai proudly admitted to orchestrating the "eight surveys", while Fang Lie proudly revealed he was the one who fixed the ring and painted the "flower road" signs, highlighting the collective effort behind the successful proposal. Fang Lie, impressed by his brother's romantic gesture, felt the pressure for his own future proposal. Han Assistant, despite being single, expressed pure joy for the couple, stating her favorite "shipped" couples must be happy.
Fang Leng and Xiaoqi's relationship deepened, culminating in them becoming intimate. The next day, when Xiaoqi shared the news with Xiaobu and Chai, everyone was overjoyed. Xiaobu, in particular, was excited, concluding that if cross-species reproduction was possible for Xiaoqi and Fang Leng, then her own "reproduction method" as a robot with Fang Lie could also be adapted, prompting Fang Lie to quickly silence her with a drink.
Keeping his proposal promise, Fang Leng lovingly fed Xiaoqi fried chicken, while Chai suggested using the same celebratory cake for their wedding. However, this joy was tragically short-lived. Xiaoqi's condition rapidly deteriorated again, leaving her severely weak. Fang Leng desperately asked Jiang Shiyi if there was "no other way."
Jiang Shiyi regretfully explained that Candy's analysis showed the impurities in Xiaoqi's body could not be removed externally and required Xiaoqi to decompose them herself, which her current weakened state made impossible. Xiaoqi, he stated grimly, "can't live on the Earth anymore." The spaceship from her home planet was only three days away. Heartbroken, Fang Leng requested these remaining three days to bid his final farewell to Xiaoqi. He lovingly kissed her on the forehead, the unspoken words of goodbye hanging heavy in the air.
