My Girlfriend Episode 28 (Ending) Recap
> My Girlfriend Recap
Ding Xiaorou prepared for her trip to Paris, calling a taxi to pick her up from home and bidding a fond farewell to her pet bunny, "Little Star," urging it to take care and miss her. Meanwhile, Chi Xin had spent the night creating a detailed Paris guide for her, complete with annotations for high-crime areas. When his power and internet unexpectedly went out, he decided to deliver the guide in person, but found no one at her door.
In a moment of unfortunate timing, they both tried to call each other simultaneously, missing the connection. The next morning, Chi Xin finally saw a message from Ding Xiaorou expressing her love and asking to meet him at the Totoro window. He immediately rushed there, but only found a note she had left in the bunny’s cage. As Ding Xiaorou's plane was about to depart, she idly opened her bill and discovered a QR code.
Scanning it with her phone, she was met with a video message from Chi Xin. In the video, he spoke from the heart, explaining that he had met an ordinary girl a month ago who loved to giggle, eat ice cream, and would fall asleep anywhere. He never thought they would have a special connection until he realized his sleep improved near her.
He acknowledged her narcolepsy, wished her success in her dreams, and presented "confession instant noodles" – a dish with her favorite ice cream and his favorite instant noodles – encouraging her to make it if she ever felt tired. He promised to silently support her from across the ocean and always be behind her, no matter how far she went. Overcome with emotion and tears, Ding Xiaorou suddenly suffered a severe narcolepsy attack and collapsed.
She awoke in a hospital, confused and disoriented, until a nurse explained that the plane had to return to Shanghai due to her medical emergency and that she needed to reschedule her flight. Realizing she hadn't left Shanghai after all, Ding Xiaorou was ecstatic, declaring her love for the city, and impulsively dashed out of the airport.
Outside, a news broadcast on a large screen caught her attention: a tragic car accident had occurred on the airport highway involving a blue Mercedes-Benz, with the driver critically injured and rushed to Mingji Hospital. Ding Xiaorou instantly recognized the car as Chi Xin's. She rushed to the hospital and, identifying herself as his girlfriend, frantically asked for Chi Xin. A doctor informed her that the accident victim was undergoing surgery and remained in a life-threatening condition.
After the surgery, as a heavily bandaged patient was wheeled out, Ding Xiaorou, believing it was Chi Xin, sobbed uncontrollably and confessed her deep love for him, begging him to wake up and keep his promise to always be there for her. Suddenly, Chi Xin appeared before her, perfectly fine. Zhen Zheng quickly explained that Chi Xin had sold his car earlier when he started his business.
Mortified and overwhelmed by the realization that her tearful confession had been heard by Chi Xin, Ding Xiaorou fainted from excitement once more. Chi Xin gently picked her up and carried her out of the hospital. Later, Ding Xiaorou woke up to find Chi Xin lying beside her. She complained about him missing their meeting the previous night, having waited for him.
Chi Xin explained that he had been preparing her Paris guide, which included recommendations for ice cream, methods to prevent narcolepsy, and a list of high-crime areas in Paris to avoid. Ding Xiaorou, now no longer going to Paris, told him that while a company like Tiffie could easily find a replacement for her, no one could replace the person who loved her.
Chi Xin then revealed that his home had been taken over by his company and all his funds were invested, leaving him "penniless and homeless," and asked her to take him in. Ding Xiaorou playfully agreed, saying it depended on his behavior. Chi Xin then proposed a playful "Plan B" to test who loved whom more, sharing a deep kiss. She wondered aloud if she would still fall asleep, to which he replied, "Not necessarily."
Meanwhile, Zhen Zheng and his wife, He Mingzhu, admired Chi Xin and Ding Xiaorou's blossoming romance. Zhen Zheng, envious, began discussing their own future, humorously urging He Mingzhu to consider having a child soon, citing their work environment's potential effects on fertility. After some initial playful resistance, He Mingzhu agreed to his enthusiastic plans. Elsewhere, Zheng Ze and Nan Sa Sa were about to leave when a scooter sped towards Nan Sa Sa.
Zheng Ze quickly pulled her to safety, then gently wiped dirt from her cheek. He then showed her a ginkgo leaf, which she had previously written on, confessing her intention to declare her love to the person who achieved "100 points" in her heart. Zheng Ze revealed he knew about her note and proudly declared he had earned "101 points," implying he was the one. Nan Sa Sa, flustered and overjoyed, gave him a quick, shy kiss before running away.
In the end, with Chi Xin’s encouragement and help, Ding Xiaorou successfully established her own window design studio in Shanghai. Chi Xin’s cooking show, "Roll, Ramen," gained immense popularity, leading to Zhen Zheng's promotion as its producer. Tong Liang, whose own programs had all failed, was demoted and began working on Zhen Zheng's show, showing a newfound deference. He Mingzhu and Zhen Zheng enjoyed a very happy married life.
Zheng Ze and Nan Sa Sa's relationship deepened, characterized by shared meals and mutual affection. Ding Xiaorou and Chi Xin became inseparable, her "curse" of being unable to fall in love completely broken. She reflected that Chi Xin was her "late letter," full of sweetness, and vowed to cherish him forever. The story concluded with all their friends finding happiness, marking the beginning of a joyous new chapter for everyone.
