My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Episode 14 Recap
> My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Recap
Late at night, amidst a thunderstorm, A Zhai was startled by eerie crying. He cautiously investigated, wanting to escape, but then stumbled upon a disheveled figure in white, resembling Sadako. Terrified, he fell to his knees, begging for mercy and claiming innocence. To his surprise, the figure was Xia Wa, whose program had been recently altered. She was now in a "Virgin Mary" mode, overwhelmed by guilt and sorrow.
Xia Wa tearfully apologized to A Zhai, lamenting her past actions of hitting people, lying, and even attempting to expose him publicly. A Zhai, growing impatient with her incessant weeping, asked if she could stop, to which she replied she couldn't, unless her hard drive was removed. He suggested that crying was useless and that she should apologize and make amends with those she had wronged through practical action.
A Zhai, attempting to take advantage of her new benevolent state, encouraged her to start with the "victim right in front" of her and "love him" to comfort himself. However, Adam, who was on the phone with A Zhai discussing Xia Wa's personality change, intervened, telling A Zhai to go to sleep and curtailing his manipulative advances.
Xia Wa, taking A Zhai's words seriously, decided to take action, beginning her apologies with Su Zixuan and Mr. Big, both of whom were bruised and bandaged from their recent brawl. She sincerely apologized to Su Zixuan, admitting he was beaten because she had intentionally directed Mr. Big's aggression towards him, and she did not like Su Zixuan.
Su Zixuan, misinterpreting her apology as a declaration of love, claimed he was happy to suffer for her, believing it proved her affection. Xia Wa, however, bluntly confessed she had lied and never cared for him. She then apologized to Mr. Big for her previous violence.
Mr. Big also attempted to portray his actions as protective, but Xia Wa again confessed her lies, stating that his hitting Su Zixuan neither hurt nor saddened her, and she didn't consider them evenly matched. Both men were left bewildered and displeased, realizing they had been manipulated and suffered for no reason.
Xia Wa, expressing extreme regret, offered to make amends by giving Su Zixuan a brick to hit Mr. Big, expressing it as a way to alleviate the anger in her heart. This suggestion further bewildered the two men, as Xia Wa's tone implied their suffering had nothing to do with her. Xia Wa then remembered another grievance and showed Su Zixuan a new online post she had published as "Xiao Penny."
In the post, she clarified that their breakup was due to Su Zixuan cheating, not any personal inadequacy on his part, firmly stating he was "more than capable." This public announcement led to widespread condemnation of Su Zixuan among the students, much to his chagrin. Later, Xia Wa led Mr. Big to a serene spot to witness the sunrise.
She offered herself for him to hit her back as part of her apology, committing to apologize to everyone she had hurt until forgiven. Mr. Big accepted her apology but refused to strike a woman, choosing to let the matter rest, stating he was touched by her leniency. Xia Wa then imparted wisdom, telling him that despite his kind heart, he disguised himself with a tough exterior, masking a shallow, empty, and fragile inner child yearning for acceptance and recognition.
She urged him to abandon his defenses and mask, embrace mercy, and approach others with compassion, promising he would receive the same in return. When Mr. Big asked how, Xia Wa instructed him to compensate, confess, and apologize to all those he had bullied, emphasizing that humility, leniency, and love were essential for a harmonious and meaningful life. Mr. Big agreed to follow her advice.
Back at home, A Zhai confronted Xia Wa about her extreme apology methods, particularly the online post that exposed Su Zixuan. Xia Wa defended her actions, explaining that she needed to apologize and restore his reputation since she had caused his beating and lied to him, asking A Zhai if it wasn't the right approach. A Zhai, perhaps with a hint of sarcasm, affirmed her method was "commendable" and that one should always admit mistakes and confess lies.
Taking his words literally, Xia Wa announced she was going to the anime club. A Zhai quickly spoke to Adam, who realized Xia Wa was likely going to confess her biggest lie: pretending to be Penny. Concerned about A Zhai's reputation and potential exposure, Adam urged him to rush to the club to stop her. However, A Zhai arrived too late. Xia Wa had already confessed to the club members that she was not Penny and had been deceiving them.
To A Zhai's relief, the eccentric club members, including their president, dismissed her confession as a joke, believing she was simply "messing around." A Zhai then told Xia Wa to stop telling people she wasn't Penny, as she had already "apologized." A Zhai brought Xia Wa home, expressing his frustration that her public confessions almost led to Adam's identity being exposed and himself being labeled a pervert, which would ruin his life.
Xia Wa, however, insisted it was her fault, believing that without her, A Zhai and Adam would be happy. A Zhai countered that he wouldn't be happy without her, as she was his happiness. Xia Wa then concluded that if she was A Zhai's happiness, then Adam wouldn't be happy, and if Adam wasn't happy, A Zhai wouldn't be either.
Pondering this complicated dynamic, Xia Wa, from a "Virgin Mary" perspective, declared her new mission: to find a way to make A Zhai's happiness Adam's happiness, Adam's happiness her happiness, and ultimately, her happiness everyone's happiness. A Zhai, completely perplexed, admitted he didn't understand any of it.
