My Neighbour Can't Sleep Episode 10 Recap
> My Neighbour Can't Sleep Recap
Xi Song practiced speaking to himself, trying to articulate an explanation for Song Miduo, but messed up. After Song Miduo returned to her room, he secretly left his room to observe her. Xiao Mi arrived at Song Miduo's house, and Song Miduo abandoned her plans to deliver a cake to her neighbor, instead eating it with Xiao Mi.
When Xiao Mi asked what she had been doing, Song Miduo complained bitterly about her neighbor, calling him cold-blooded, ruthless, unreasonable, arrogant, and not even that handsome if one didn't look carefully, claiming he would be unremarkable in a crowd. Xiao Mi immediately teased Song Miduo, asking if she had a crush on her neighbor, which Song Miduo vehemently denied, claiming someone as outstanding as her wouldn't easily fall for anyone.
Changing the subject, Song Miduo asked why Xiao Mi had come. Xiao Mi, glowing, announced she was in love again. She described her new boyfriend as being like the sun at eight or nine in the morning, warming her, and making her feel fresh and grounded, despite his average looks and height but with a masculine charm. Excited, Xiao Mi rushed to the balcony to show him to Song Miduo.
To their shock, the "morning sun" turned out to be Xi Song, leisurely sipping coffee on his own balcony. Xiao Mi was stunned to realize that Song Miduo's arrogant neighbor was none other than Senior Brother Xi. Despite Song Miduo's attempts to stop her, Xiao Mi enthusiastically greeted Xi Song and playfully repeated all the bad things Song Miduo had just said about him. Xi Song then asked if there was any cake left.
Xiao Mi eagerly offered to get him a slice. Song Miduo apologized to Xi Song for Xiao Mi's outburst, assuring him that her friend would not leak his address, as her manager, Liang Ge, would be furious. She then accused Xi Song and Liang Ge of being behind the recent complaints, leading her mother to make cakes to appease neighbors, and declared that they would absolutely not move out. Xi Song, surprised, asked if Liang Ge had approached her.
He did not explain himself, but instead questioned why Song Miduo would bother appeasing others if she suspected him, suggesting she should just "deal with him" directly. Song Miduo retorted that he wasn't someone who could be appeased with a cake, but Xi Song challenged her to try. Song Miduo quickly pulled Xiao Mi away. Xiao Mi, buzzing with excitement, relentlessly questioned Song Miduo about when and how she discovered Xi Song was her neighbor and what they had discussed.
Song Miduo tried to deflect, claiming they had just found out while taking out the trash and that Xi Song constantly complained about her noise disturbing his piano practice. Unconvinced, Xiao Mi continued to press, threatening to find out the truth. Song Miduo then threatened to tell Xiao Mi's new boyfriend that Xiao Mi was actually interested in Xi Song, to which Xiao Mi quickly backed off, confirming Song Miduo had caught her "morning sun" analogy.
Xiao Mi teased Song Miduo about finally "getting enlightened" and falling for a "big boss," but Song Miduo continued to deny any romantic interest, leading to more playful bickering as they walked. Later, Liang Ge tried a new tactic. He called Xi Song, who told him on the phone to turn around and not pick him up, as he would take a taxi to the station himself.
Liang Ge, however, intercepted Song Miduo on her way home and dramatically told her that her house was haunted. He claimed that a worker's wife had died tragically during construction, falling into a cement mixer and having her remains sealed within the very house Song Miduo now occupied.
He fabricated a story that the house's dark aura had caused Xi Song's insomnia for three months, which was miraculously cured when Song Miduo's family moved in, bringing "human vitality" and dispelling the evil. He then tried to convince her that she must not move for Xi Song's sake, suggesting the house's unusually low purchase price (five million compared to the fifteen million average) was due to its dark history, and she should question her aunt about it.
Despite Song Miduo's outward show of defiance, telling Liang Ge to take care of himself and calling him a "childish ghost," his tales genuinely unnerved her. Back at home, Song Miduo found the house empty. Her parents had gone to Xi Song's concert, not a wedding as they told her, revealing themselves to be avid "fan parents" of Xi Song, a fact they preferred to keep from their daughter.
Alone and unsettled by Liang Ge's ghost story, Song Miduo stood by her door, lost in thought. Xi Song appeared, asking for her help to hail a taxi to Shuang’an for a performance, explaining he had no phone and would return tomorrow. Song Miduo reluctantly agreed to help. In the taxi, Song Miduo complained to Xi Song, questioning why he wouldn't let Liang Ge drive him, yet burdened her with the task.
She recounted Liang Ge's ghost story, asserting she wasn't scared and wouldn't be fooled by their "dirty tricks" to make her move. She accused Xi Song of being ungrateful and cold-hearted after she had helped him, treating her like a rag. Xi Song's expression darkened. Upon reaching the station, he abruptly exited the taxi, leaving Song Miduo to deal with the fare, which included his return journey. She told the driver to turn back.
That evening, as Song Miduo was eating alone, the power suddenly went out amidst a fierce thunderstorm, plunging the house into darkness. Terrified, she tried to call her parents, but her phone was dead. She remembered Xi Song was supposed to be in Shuang’an, so she couldn't seek him out. Panicked, she ran to her bedroom, burying herself under the covers. A figure silently entered and gently patted her.
Believing it to be a ghost, Song Miduo screamed and furiously thrashed at the person. A familiar voice called her name, comforting her and telling her not to be afraid. As she gradually calmed down, she realized it was Xi Song, who had rushed back for her. Overwhelmed, she cried into his arms. Song Miduo, still slightly disoriented, thought the power outage was due to a tripped breaker, but Xi Song showed no knowledge of how to fix it.
He then led her to his house. When Xi Song suddenly flicked on the lights, Song Miduo instinctively covered her eyes, grumbling that he had no common sense and could blind her by turning on the light abruptly after she had been in the dark, wondering if he had gone stupid from playing the piano. As she continued to ramble, Xi Song, in an impulsive moment, leaned down and kissed her. Song Miduo was stunned, asking what had just happened.
Xi Song casually claimed she had something on her mouth. Song Miduo, dazed, believed him. Her heart fluttering, she asked if he had come back specifically for her. Xi Song initially denied it, saying her "crying and howling" had kept him from sleeping. Song Miduo pointed out that he was still wearing his performance suit, suggesting he hadn't even been home to sleep.
Caught in his lie, Xi Song then confessed he had rushed back immediately after his concert, speeding and even running two red lights, just to ensure her safety. Song Miduo was overjoyed, lost in her fantasy, wanting to caress his face. When Xi Song's stomach rumbled, she enthusiastically offered to cook for him, framing it as a mutual favor since she was hungry too. While Song Miduo went to the kitchen, Xi Song took a shower.
When Xi Song returned from his shower, he found Song Miduo asleep at the dining table, with food laid out. He gazed at her sleeping face, his eyes lingering on her lips. Conscious of his thoughts, he deliberately made a loud noise with the dishes to wake her. Song Miduo, now awake, proudly boasted about her excellent cooking, claiming any imperfections were due to limited ingredients, not her skill.
Xi Song decided to give Aunt Gu a long vacation and arranged for Song Miduo to cook for him from now on. Song Miduo was secretly thrilled, but her moment of triumph was interrupted by a phone call. It was the delivery driver for the takeout food she had ordered, calling to say they had forgotten a dish and wanted to resend it. Panicked, Song Miduo quickly refused, even threatening to complain if they insisted on redelivering.
After dinner, Xi Song told Song Miduo to go upstairs to sleep. Her heart pounded with anticipation, acknowledging that though she had slept many times before, tonight felt different, and she wondered what she was hoping for, reminding herself to maintain some composure as a girl.
