My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 5 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
Following a heavy rain, Fang Leng, having regained his memories, requested Mr. Han to provide a detailed list of all individuals he had interacted with, especially women, before the rain. Mr. Han presented a categorized list, starting with "Romantic relationships," which included Mary, Sunny, and Lovery. When Fang Leng asked about others, Mr. Han listed "Work partners," including Ms. Chen, Ms. Wang, and Ms. Li. Sensing missing information, Fang Leng pressed Mr. Han about Chai Xiaoqi.
Mr. Han mistakenly thought Fang Leng knew about the perfume idea leak and confessed that he was the one who leaked it, not Chai Xiaoqi, due to Mr. Zhou's sarcastic remarks. Fang Leng realized he wrongly accused Chai Xiaoqi and reprimanded Mr. Han, threatening to deduct his year-end bonus for three years. Fang Leng then inquired why Chai Xiaoqi's information wasn't in his memory database.
Mr. Han stated she was neither a romantic partner nor a work colleague, and was therefore not registered. Mr. Han was puzzled by Fang Leng's memory of Chai Xiaoqi, given his heterosexual amnesia triggered by rain. Dr. Zhang explained that Fang Leng's initial memory loss of Chai Xiaoqi occurred during a three-month business trip to Los Angeles the previous year, where he met Chai Xiaoqi. A heavy rain before his return to China caused him to forget her.
However, this recent rain stimulated and merged those past memories, making him recall Chai Xiaoqi as his ex-girlfriend. Fang Leng questioned why he would be attracted to "this type of girl," and Dr. Zhang playfully suggested he answer that himself and marked Chai Xiaoqi as a "dangerous individual" in Fang Leng's file. Meanwhile, Chai Xiaoqi and Xiaobu were studying "How To Make Domineering President Love You," hoping to win Fang Leng's affection.
Fang Leng sent Chai Xiaoqi a message stating, "I've found out what happened." Chai Xiaoqi feared he remembered forcing her into marriage, though Xiaobu dismissed this. She wondered if her arrival had messed with space-time. A follow-up message from Fang Leng, inviting her to meet, left Chai Xiaoqi unsettled, fearing he wanted to clarify her true identity. Despite Xiaobu's concerns, Chai Xiaoqi decided to attend, needing Hormone Element to return home, dismissing Xiaobu's offer to accompany her.
Fang Leng and Mr. Han prepared for the meeting, planning to use a financial offensive to sever ties. Mr. Han devised a tiered compensation plan. To his surprise, Chai Xiaoqi arrived. Fang Leng stated he knew "what kind of person" she was, which Chai Xiaoqi misinterpreted as him wanting to rekindle their relationship. Fang Leng clarified that she was merely his ex-girlfriend, leading Chai Xiaoqi to retort that they were married, and he had forced her into it.
Mr. Han intervened, taking blame for the previous perfume plan misunderstanding. Relieved Fang Leng didn't know her true identity, Chai Xiaoqi confirmed she had no intention of reconciling. Fang Leng offered her compensation for her "disappearance." Chai Xiaoqi, initially feigning disinterest, was granted time to consider. Later, discussing with Xiaobu, Chai Xiaoqi understood that "compensation" could imply a desire for physical intimacy, which would be ideal for collecting Hormone Element.
Despite Xiaobu's reservations, Chai Xiaoqi rationalized it as a "good deed," given Fang Leng's past mistreatment. Determined to get closer to Fang Leng, Chai Xiaoqi asked him to accompany her for meals, shopping, and to be on call. To her disappointment, Mr. Han arrived instead, offering a "one-stop service." Feeling dismissed, Chai Xiaoqi deliberately damaged the kitchen pipe at her home and texted Fang Leng, also fabricating an arm injury. Once again, Mr. Han appeared, proclaiming himself "Han, maintenance."
Chai Xiaoqi expressed frustration, asking who was truly compensating her. Fang Leng, speaking through Mr. Han, retorted that he had sent his "best employee" and provided sufficient compensation. Seizing the opportunity, Chai Xiaoqi insisted Mr. Han massage her "injured" hand, much to his discomfort. After several failed attempts to get Fang Leng's attention, Chai Xiaoqi lamented that becoming his "ex-girlfriend" made her see him even less.
Xiaobu analyzed Earth's data on "ex-girlfriends," concluding that Fang Leng's extreme avoidance could only mean he owed Chai Xiaoqi money, which Chai Xiaoqi found absurd. The system analysis of Fang Leng proved too complex. Xiaobu proposed a new plan: to learn more about Fang Leng through his brother, Fang Lie. Confident in her ability to get what she wanted, Xiaobu texted Fang Lie, inviting him to a hotel room. Fang Lie, wary of "lusty people," suspected ulterior motives.
However, Xiaobu clarified she merely intended to teach him painting, fulfilling his artistic aspirations. As she modeled with an apple on her head, she subtly asked about Fang Leng's attitude toward ex-girlfriends. Fang Lie, mistaking her interest, deflected by talking about his own loyalty and how he had no ex-girlfriends, much to Xiaobu's frustration. Fang Lie drew only an apple, claiming it was "reasonable beautification." Xiaobu, using her "incredible glasses," scanned his drawing and offered a professional critique.
Impressed, Fang Lie was then transported by Xiaobu's glasses into a vivid projection of outer space. Overwhelmed, Fang Lie pondered the insignificance of human existence. Xiaobu confided that while she was "replicable," her existence was meaningful, but she now couldn't return home. Fang Lie offered to help her fix her computer system. Meanwhile, Chai realized Fang Leng was trying to avoid Chai Xiaoqi by preventing his employees from ordering from their milk tea shop.
Mr. Han continued to deliver gifts to Chai Xiaoqi, stating they were compensation. He persisted in his role as an unofficial "matchmaker," trying to convince Fang Leng to consider Chai Xiaoqi, earning him a sarcastic remark about his resignation letter. Concurrently, Chai, having consulted a book on attracting men, advised Chai Xiaoqi to whisper intimately to Fang Leng and feign illness. A text message from an "Unknown Matchmaker," mirrored Chai's advice. Chai Xiaoqi then genuinely sprained her ankle.
Fang Leng, skeptical and assuming she was feigning "asthenia," still carried her. As she tried to whisper sweet nothings, Fang Leng hilariously misinterpreted her words, thinking she was comparing him to "king kongs." When they arrived at Chai Xiaoqi's apartment, Chai and Xiaobu deliberately didn't open the door, forcing Fang Leng to take her to his place. Fang Leng, left with no choice, carried her into his home.
Chai Xiaoqi exaggerated her pain while he applied medicine, then complained of feeling "very cold" and claimed he "used to" hug her to sleep. Fang Leng covered her with a blanket. Undeterred, she continued her act, claiming to kick off blankets and still needing his physical presence to stay warm. Fang Leng, annoyed by her theatrics and the heat from her attempts to get close, questioned the "large scale" of effort required just to collect Hormone Element.
