My Neighbour Can't Sleep Episode 15 Recap
> My Neighbour Can't Sleep Recap
Xi Song, wearing a mask, went to pick out a gift for Song Miduo. He was nearly recognized by onlookers who commented on his handsomeness and familiar face, speculating if it was truly him. He politely declined a fan's request for a photo, saying "next time." Unable to find a suitable gift, Xi Song decided to give Song Miduo a doll a fan had gifted him. However, when he arrived at her door, no one answered.
A kind security guard informed him that Song Miduo's family had gone to People’s Square to celebrate a birthday. The next morning, Song Miduo woke up and immediately headed towards Xi Song’s house. Before she could get close, Lu Yiyou intercepted her and invited her for breakfast. He asked where she had been the previous night, and Song Miduo vaguely replied that she had met an acquaintance.
Lu Yiyou then brought up the news of Xi Song’s sudden disappearance the night before. Song Miduo, eating quickly, revealed that Xi Song hadn't disappeared but had returned early. When Lu Yiyou pressed her on how she knew, Song Miduo claimed she was just guessing. Feigning sleepiness, she quickly excused herself, saying she hadn't slept well, and left. On her way home, Song Miduo found Su Li locked out of Xi Song's apartment after a grocery run.
Su Li explained that she had been ringing the doorbell for a long time but no one answered, and she didn't have her phone to contact Liang Ge. Song Miduo then revealed she had a spare key and let Su Li in. Su Li, though surprised, attributed Song Miduo's possession of the key to Aunt Gu's affection for her. Song Miduo clarified that it was a spare key kept with her because she lived next door, in case of emergencies.
Su Li laughed, acknowledging her explanation. Grateful, Su Li enthusiastically invited Song Miduo to stay for lunch, mentioning she had bought fresh produce and seafood to cook a good meal, especially for Xi Song, who she noted had lost weight. She shared intimate details about Xi Song's preferences, like his love for salty and spicy food, and how he couldn't drink a specific coffee because it made him too energetic.
Feeling uncomfortable with Su Li acting like the lady of the house, Song Miduo tried to leave, but just then, Xi Song and Liang Ge returned. Liang Ge attempted to send Song Miduo away, but Su Li insisted that Song Miduo was her guest and would be staying for dinner. Su Li then asked Xi Song for a house key.
Xi Song replied that he had none left, prompting Liang Ge to realize that Song Miduo must have the last one. Song Miduo slowly produced the key, reluctantly offering it to Liang Ge. However, Xi Song gently pressed her hand down and told Liang Ge to get a new key made for Su Li instead. Liang Ge, visibly awkward, led Su Li to the kitchen, loudly praising her as a beautiful and capable hostess.
After they left, Xi Song confronted Song Miduo about when she found the key, acknowledging she had kept it well hidden. Xi Song then informed Song Miduo that he would be going to Liuting with Su Li for two days, as Su Li was in a bad mood and needed to relax. Song Miduo was disappointed but remained silent.
Xi Song started to say something about inviting her for dinner, but before he could finish, Song Miduo misunderstood it as an invitation to join the trip. Her spirits instantly lifted, and she excitedly rushed home to pack. The next day, Aunt Gu joined the group, affectionately greeting Su Li and commenting on her beauty. Song Miduo then unexpectedly appeared, announcing her intention to join the trip to Liuting, known for Fairy Mountain and Bilianhai.
Aunt Gu and Liang Ge tried to deter her, citing concerns about a young girl staying out overnight and parental disapproval. However, Su Li warmly welcomed Song Miduo, and with Xi Song's quiet agreement, Song Miduo joined them in the car, making a party of five. Aunt Gu wore a look of utter resignation. During the drive, Song Miduo leaned on Su Li's shoulder and fell asleep, exhausted from lack of rest.
Upon waking, Su Li recounted stories of Xi Song's younger days, mentioning how he used to lean on her shoulder and sleep on the bus in high school, and how he was a "childish ghost" despite his current serious demeanor. Song Miduo realized that she wasn't the only one who had witnessed Xi Song's immature side.
Upon arrival at the hotel, Xi Song jokingly warned Song Miduo about the high cost of a five-star hotel room, suggesting a minimum of 1,500 yuan per night. Song Miduo, unfazed, quipped about sharing a room with him, reminding him they had shared rooms before. Xi Song, however, stated that things were different now, which left Song Miduo puzzled about the change.
When checking in, Liang Ge confirmed that he had only booked four rooms, and the hotel was fully booked, leaving no extra rooms. Su Li immediately requested to share a room with Xi Song. Aunt Gu quickly interjected, insisting that Song Miduo should share a room with her. She then pulled Song Miduo aside in their shared room and delivered a stern lecture.
Aunt Gu explained that Su Li and Xi Song were childhood sweethearts and their families were close, making them an ideal and publicly recognized "official couple" destined for marriage. She emphasized Xi Song’s cold nature but noted his exceptional patience and responsiveness to Su Li's every request. Aunt Gu advised Song Miduo to abandon any romantic notions, as she and Xi Song would never have a future together, warning her that dreams eventually wake up.
Deeply disheartened, Song Miduo went to the hotel lobby, observing Xi Song, Liang Ge, and Su Li chatting cheerfully. Xi Song noticed her downcast mood and approached her, guessing that Aunt Gu's words had upset her. He reassured her not to take Aunt Gu's comments seriously. Song Miduo then asked if he would marry Su Li, to which Xi Song gave an ambiguous "What do you think?" and then hesitated, unable to complete his thought.
Revitalized by his words, Song Miduo’s spirits soared, and she once again eagerly followed Xi Song. Throughout the day of sightseeing at the amusement park, Aunt Gu and Liang Ge persistently intervened to keep Song Miduo away from Xi Song, attempting to create opportunities for Xi Song and Su Li to spend time alone. Liang Ge even gave Song Miduo money to go buy water, trying to send her away.
During one instance, while Xi Song and Su Li were posing for photos, Liang Ge pulled Song Miduo aside to take her picture. Later, Song Miduo tried to join Su Li on an exciting ride, but the experience terrified Su Li, causing her to cling to Xi Song afterward. By the end of the day, despite her efforts, Song Miduo had barely managed to speak with Xi Song, leaving her feeling utterly helpless.
