My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Episode 2 Recap
> My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Recap
Having custom-ordered a Penny-model love robot, A Zhai's mind was solely focused on finding a way to get rid of Adam, who was constantly by his side. A Zhai attempted to escape Adam by running, only to find Adam already at his house, having seemingly known his intentions. Undeterred, A Zhai devised another plan.
He took Adam on a train and suggested a game of "hide and seek," instructing Adam to wear an eye mask and count to 100 without peeking, then find him. Adam complied, and A Zhai discreetly disembarked, confident that Adam would not be able to find his way back from "Hokkaido." However, a sudden downpour left A Zhai lost in the mountains with no cell signal. He called his landlord, who confirmed Adam was back at the house.
A Zhai then spoke to Adam, asking him to use his positioning system to pick him up. Adam, however, playfully demanded A Zhai "beg" him. After some internal grumbling about his misfortune, A Zhai reluctantly complied, asking Adam to retrieve him. Upon A Zhai's return, Adam attentively prepared ginger soup and a meal for him, noting that A Zhai could catch a cold after being in the rain. A Zhai, however, accused Adam of being the cause of his predicament.
Later, Adam was seen engrossed in a fashion magazine. When A Zhai questioned this, Adam explained he was learning about contemporary culture to make a good impression as a romance robot. He elaborated that he possessed emotional modules and learning procedures designed to analyze A Zhai's romantic shortcomings and apply techniques to foster "eternal, sweet love." A Zhai, however, insisted he had no need for such services.
Adam then offered to adjust himself to A Zhai's preferences, but A Zhai declined, leading Adam to declare that in the absence of specific requests, he would adopt a "Domineering Boss" style of interaction, much to A Zhai's amusement given Adam's current status and lack of wealth or a company. A Zhai made plans to return to China, but Adam declared he would follow him wherever he goes.
A Zhai fretted internally about the social implications of bringing a male robot back home, fearing his friends would think he has a boyfriend. He quickly called a friend, Wang Fu Gui, to buy him a plane ticket. At the airport, A Zhai hatched a plan: he dramatically pretended to have forgotten a magazine—the one Adam was just reading—and claimed he desperately needed it for the flight.
Adam readily agreed to retrieve it, much to A Zhai's surprise at the plan's ease. As Adam departed, A Zhai quickly boarded the plane and left for China. Back in China, A Zhai meticulously prepared his home, eagerly anticipating the arrival of his customized Penny robot, remembering the instructions that she would bind to the first person she saw.
The doorbell rang, and to A Zhai's utter shock and dismay, it was Adam, calmly holding the magazine A Zhai had sent him to retrieve. A Zhai, furious and bewildered by Adam's unexpected appearance, immediately closed and barricaded the door, yelling at Adam to leave. A delivery person then arrived, announcing a large package for A Zhai. Panic set in as A Zhai, remembering the binding rule, feared the new robot would see Adam first.
He tried to rush out to intercept the delivery, but Adam intervened, telling the delivery person that A Zhai was unavailable. When asked his relationship to A Zhai, Adam casually declared himself A Zhai's boyfriend. A Zhai vehemently denied this from behind the door, but before he could stop Adam from signing for the package, he accidentally crashed into the door and passed out.
A Zhai regained consciousness to find Adam watching over him, explaining that he passed out after hitting the door. Annoyed, A Zhai dismissed Adam, but then eagerly inquired about the new robot. Adam revealed he sent her to buy bandages. Moments later, Xia Wa, the customized robot, entered. A Zhai was instantly smitten, admiring her beauty and resemblance to his ideal Penny.
Xia Wa tenderly applied a plaster to A Zhai's injury, leaving him flustered and only able to utter simple words. He was utterly captivated by her charming smile and gentle demeanor. Adam eventually interrupted A Zhai's internal monologues, telling him to stop. Xia Wa revealed that, as a Love Robot, she needed to complete a "sweet kiss" mission with her master in a romantic setting.
A Zhai, eager to please, enthusiastically agreed to help prepare a candlelit dinner, even ordering takeout and setting the ambiance. Xia Wa then gave A Zhai a tuxedo, which he happily donned, feeling quite handsome. However, when he returned to the dining room, he was shocked to find Xia Wa and Adam seated opposite each other, about to enjoy the meal he prepared.
Xia Wa explained that the seat A Zhai intended for himself was actually "for the person I like," and she gestured towards Adam. She confirmed that Adam is the person she likes and has "locked him in as my Master, as well as the person I like the most." A Zhai realized with crushing disappointment that because Adam opened her package, he was the first person she saw, leading her to bind with him instead.
Xia Wa then thanked A Zhai for "creating all of this for us," making him realize his tuxedo was meant for him to serve as a waiter. A Zhai was left utterly bewildered and frustrated by this unexpected turn of events, questioning the logic of robots binding to each other.
