My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Episode 15 Recap
> My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Recap
Xia Wa, having entered her "Virgin Mary" mode, was determined to resolve the love triangle involving herself, A Zhai, and Ya Dang by finding a solution that would bring happiness to all three. Her plan centered on making A Zhai fall in love with Ya Dang. As the first step, Xia Wa initiated a visual strategy, filling A Zhai's room with images of same-sex couples, which left him speechless.
Ya Dang, present during this, subtly indicated that this was all Xia Wa's doing. Next, Xia Wa moved to an auditory approach. She informed A Zhai that Ya Dang mentioned his insomnia and she had downloaded lullabies for him. A Zhai was initially touched by her thoughtfulness, but upon playing the audio, he was horrified to hear Ya Dang's voice instructing him to relax and "come into my arms to feel the warmth of my hug."
A Zhai exclaimed that if he continued listening, his sexual orientation would truly be at risk. Xia Wa then presented a "love breakfast" consisting of heart-shaped food, claiming Ya Dang had personally made it. Ya Dang appeared uncomfortable, once again trying to distance himself from Xia Wa's machinations.
For her fourth step, titled "Before he even knows it, he's already on his way," Xia Wa secretly threw a bar of soap into the bathroom while A Zhai was showering, attempting to create the illusion that Ya Dang was peeking. Convinced this was another one of Xia Wa's tricks, A Zhai stormed out to confront her. He discovered her phone on the sofa, displaying a web page asking "How to turn a straight person gay?"
Furious, A Zhai realized Xia Wa's true intentions. He confronted her, declaring her elaborate schemes were the most difficult to deal with, calling her actions blatant matchmaking. A Zhai decided to use Xia Wa's own logic against her. He explained that she was confused about the nature of love, differentiating between "obsessive love" (like Xia Wa and Ya Dang) and "no love" (like Ya Dang and himself).
He then argued that by Xia Wa's own logic (that she would be happy if the person she loved was happy), if "he" (A Zhai) was happy by being with Xia Wa, then Ya Dang (who, A Zhai asserted, would be happy if A Zhai was happy) would also be happy. Consequently, Xia Wa herself would be happy if Ya Dang was happy. Therefore, if A Zhai got what he wanted, all three would achieve happiness.
Unable to fully process this complex logical loop, Xia Wa agreed to A Zhai's proposal for a date the next day, much to A Zhai's internal delight. The next day, A Zhai arrived at the restaurant and ordered a couple's package, expecting Xia Wa. However, Ya Dang appeared instead. A Zhai then received a text message from Xia Wa stating, "I just really want the person I love to be happy."
Realizing Xia Wa's continued interference, A Zhai was forced to share the couple's meal with Ya Dang, attracting curious glances. When the waiter asked which of them wanted the "girl's meal," A Zhai became annoyed, and Ya Dang volunteered to take it. Embarrassed by the public's judgment, A Zhai declared they needed to leave and talk. Hoping to find a more masculine environment, A Zhai dragged Ya Dang to a bar.
Although A Zhai initially commented on the masculine atmosphere, they soon encountered a male couple. A Zhai tried to explain the complexities of love by citing tragic love stories like "Butterfly Lovers" and "Romeo and Juliet," emphasizing that love doesn't always guarantee a reciprocal outcome and is influenced by external factors. Ya Dang explained that as a service-oriented Love robot, his mission was to ensure A Zhai enjoyed the process, not necessarily the end result.
A Zhai admitted he preferred being friends with Ya Dang, appreciating his good treatment, patience, and protective nature against Xia Wa's antics, but found the idea of a romantic "binding relationship" strange. Ya Dang recalled A Zhai previously calling their relationship a misunderstanding, implying A Zhai was only with him because of Xia Wa, not out of friendship. A Zhai asserted that people could change, and he now genuinely valued Ya Dang as a friend.
Ya Dang clarified that after A Zhai's previous confession, he had reset his understanding to simply being a companion. However, Ya Dang pointed out that A Zhai's programmed charm and heart-moving abilities meant he couldn't help but continue to "hit on" him. A Zhai playfully wished Ya Dang were a girl so they could be together in another life, but Ya Dang pointed out they would both be girls then, leading A Zhai to conclude their same-gender situation was "unlucky."
Ya Dang expressed his understanding, agreeing to clarify their relationship with Xia Wa. He affirmed that a Love robot's true mission is to make the person they like happy through various means, not necessarily by obtaining them, and was willing to be A Zhai's companion. Upon returning home, A Zhai and Ya Dang were astonished to find a five-year-old boy in their house.
Xia Wa explained that she had found the child on the street; his name was Xiong Xiong, and he didn't have a mother. Xiong Xiong immediately took to them, asking A Zhai to be his dad and calling Xia Wa "Mom." Ya Dang, using his robot capabilities, evaluated Xiong Xiong's appearance negatively. Despite A Zhai's attempts to deny drinking heavily, Xia Wa confirmed he was drunk with a device, leaving A Zhai bewildered and wondering if he was dreaming.
