My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 29 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Chai Xiaoqi lay unconscious, her health rapidly deteriorating. If she remained on Earth, her life was at grave risk. Despite his profound reluctance, Fang Leng resolved that the only way to save her was to send her back to her home planet. He believed that even separated, knowing she was alive would allow his longing to persist. Jiang Shiyi asked if Fang Leng would regret losing Xiaoqi forever.
Fang Leng responded that his own feelings were secondary; what mattered most was Xiaoqi's survival, and that he would have someone to care for, even from afar. He then asked Jiang Shiyi to deliver a letter to Xiaoqi and, if she woke up distressed, to erase all her memories of him. Fang Leng explained that while Earthlings value relationships, forcing Xiaoqi to bear painful memories alone would be too cruel.
Jiang Shiyi expressed his difficulty understanding such Earthling emotions, wondering if their lives weren't too "boring" as a result. Fang Leng responded that he had grown accustomed to it, but Xiaoqi was different; she radiated happiness, making his life interesting and every day memorable. He emphasized that love doesn't always require being together, and true love involves sacrificing everything for the beloved, even not hoping to be remembered.
Fang Leng then suggested to Jiang Shiyi that Jiang Shiyi's deep protection of Xiaoqi might stem from the forbidden emotions on their home planet, not just childhood affection or duty. Jiang Shiyi dismissed this, asserting his unwavering loyalty to his home planet's beliefs. Fang Leng then reiterated his plea for Jiang Shiyi to take care of Xiaoqi. Knowing time was short, Jiang Shiyi allowed Fang Leng a moment alone with the unconscious Xiaoqi.
Fang Leng spoke softly to her, placing her favorite foods and milk tea beside her and urging her to eat well on her journey home. His voice heavy with sadness, he bid her a quiet farewell. As a delivery person arrived at the door, Fang Leng stepped out briefly. When he returned to the room, Xiaoqi was gone, a painful realization that Jiang Shiyi had already taken her to the spaceship.
Overwhelmed by the agony of her imminent departure, Fang Leng collapsed to the floor, weeping uncontrollably as his emotions erupted. Chai Xiaoqi awoke with a start inside the spaceship, disoriented and immediately searching for Fang Leng. She demanded to know why she was there, but Jiang Shiyi calmly informed her that the second survival potion had failed and Fang Leng's proposal had been his way of saying goodbye, fulfilling their agreement to send her home.
Distraught, Xiaoqi refused to accept this, desperately wanting to return to Fang Leng. She insisted she didn't care how long her survival energy would last, only that she wanted to be by his side. Jiang Shiyi tried to reason with her, arguing that returning would betray Fang Leng's intent and that her body wasn't suited for Earth's environment, where she could die at any moment.
He also highlighted the benefits of returning to their home planet: his own rise to leadership and her elevated status as his genetic match, all of which Fang Leng supposedly understood when he arranged for her return. Unconvinced, Xiaoqi maintained that Fang Leng's only concern was her safety, not complicated plans. She then tried to leave the cabin, pushing against the barrier Jiang Shiyi had erected, at which point Candy, the robotic assistant, repeatedly issued warnings.
As Xiaoqi continued her attempts to escape, she discovered a collection of gifts Fang Leng had left for her, including a heartfelt letter. In it, Fang Leng poured out his love, recounting cherished memories from their time together and expressing his deep regret for failing to develop the survival potion.
He apologized for his "arrogance" in deciding to send her away with Jiang Shiyi, explaining that he couldn't bear to watch her die and that true love prioritizes the beloved's safety above all else. He described his imagined proposal on a "flower road," envisioning her walking towards him while he held a ring. He confessed his overwhelming love and the pain of their separation, stating that their love would remain eternally etched in his life as a source of warmth.
He told her he had packed her belongings, reluctantly keeping most items as mementos but urging her to wear the North Star necklace he had given her during his confession, as it would always guide and protect her, even if she forgot him. He also mentioned the sapphire ring, now devoid of memories, asking only that he be allowed to remember their entire story. He concluded by wishing her a life of peace and joy.
Tears streamed down Xiaoqi's face as she read the letter, realizing the depth of Fang Leng's sacrifice. Jiang Shiyi, watching her from a distance, quietly turned and left, a mixture of his own emotions on his face. Back on Earth, Fang Leng wandered the streets, gazing up at the night sky, desperately searching for any sign of Xiaoqi's departing spaceship, but saw nothing.
He returned to Xiaoqi's room, which was still in disarray due to her hasty departure, and was overcome with sadness as he looked at her belongings. Fang Lie and Xiao Bu found Fang Leng consumed by grief. Fang Lie, recognizing Fang Leng's pain, suggested he take his time tidying Xiaoqi's things, viewing it as a way to both commemorate and cherish her memory.
He also expressed remorse for his own inability to help Xiaoqi more effectively as her AI secretary and friend, but Xiao Bu reassured him that Xiaoqi would not blame him, emphasizing the enduring nature of true friendship and hoping for Xiaoqi's health on her home planet. With a singular focus on returning to Earth, Xiaoqi renewed her efforts to breach the spaceship's security. She discovered she could bypass surveillance cameras, laser sensors, and patrols to reach a lifeboat.
Although Candy reported Xiaoqi's escape into the lifeboat, Jiang Shiyi feigned ignorance, asking if Candy's system was malfunctioning. Candy then stated her system was indeed "down," having detected nothing. As Xiaoqi activated the lifeboat, a prerecorded message from Jiang Shiyi appeared on screen. He apologized, revealing that the second survival potion had, in fact, been successful, and that he had lied to bring her home.
He admitted his resolve had wavered when Fang Leng said his goodbyes and even more so when he witnessed Xiaoqi's profound sadness after reading Fang Leng's letter. He then realized that allowing her to return to Earth was the correct path.
Jiang Shiyi confessed his deep love for Xiaoqi, acknowledging that his feelings transcended friendship or duty and were the true reason he had tried to prevent her from being with Fang Leng and why he held onto the memory of a candy she once gave him. He concluded that love was a profound, unscientific, and unyielding obsession, not bound by genetic matches or hormones.
He thanked Xiaoqi for warming his childhood, expressed regret that he was "too late" as she had Fang Leng, and urged her to find happiness, finally releasing his own obsession. He then instructed Candy to prepare for their return home. Watching through a viewport as Xiaoqi's lifeboat departed for Earth, Jiang Shiyi gently touched the glass, a silent farewell. Xiaoqi, believing Fang Leng had abandoned her, vowed to confront him upon her return. As her lifeboat experienced violent turbulence, she realized she might have accidentally travelled through the wrong space again.
