My Neighbour Can't Sleep Episode 6 Recap
> My Neighbour Can't Sleep Recap
Song Miduo's father observed her recent unusual behavior, noting her poor appetite and tendency to stay home. He suspected she might be heartbroken and discussed it with Song Miduo's mother. Hearing his theory, Song Miduo's mother immediately confronted her daughter in her room, questioning why she wasn't eating or sleeping, and if she was in love.
She sternly declared that Song Miduo was not allowed to date before her senior year, but if she insisted, her boyfriend must be exceptionally talented, handsome, over 1. 85 meters tall, thin, a man of few words, older to be more caring, and ideally a pianist. Song Miduo's father realized his wife was describing Xi Song. He tried to get Song Miduo to open up, but she remained unresponsive, asking him to leave her alone to be quiet.
Unable to get answers from Song Miduo, her father called Lu Yiyou, asking if she had argued with him and expressing his concern, asking for help to cheer her up. Lu Yiyou reassured Song Miduo's father, promising to handle the situation. To surprise Song Miduo, Lu Yiyou dressed in a bulky lion mascot costume.
However, the delivery driver was stopped at the community gate by the vigilant security guard, who insisted that "surprises" had to enter on foot without homeowner contact. Lu Yiyou had no choice but to awkwardly stumble to Song Miduo’s house in the cumbersome costume. From their respective balconies, Song Miduo appeared downtrodden while Xi Song calmly sipped tea. Seeing Lu Yiyou in the lion costume, Song Miduo's mood brightened considerably.
She ran downstairs, happily embracing Lu Yiyou and dancing with him. Xi Song watched from above, a faint smile eventually gracing his lips. Song Miduo confided in Lu Yiyou, complaining that since coming to Qiuyin Town, she had accomplished nothing good and only caused trouble, admitting she had said inappropriate things to a friend, Xiao Mi, when Xiao Mi was going through a breakup.
Lu Yiyou advised her to stop contacting Xiao Mi for a while, letting her calm down, and then sincerely apologize later. He also suggested she channel her energy into writing a novel. His words ignited a spark in Song Miduo, who declared she wouldn't give up on her dreams and would definitely succeed.
Inspired, Song Miduo began outlining a new story titled "My Neighbor Can't Sleep," featuring a sleepless piano prodigy as the male lead and a renowned female writer living next door as herself. To gather inspiration, she deliberately knocked on Xi Song’s door, observing Aunt Gu’s robust personality, and decided to portray her as the male lead's formidable mother.
She then secretly followed Xi Song, noting his grocery choices like instant noodles, yogurt, milk slices, and jelly, concluding that his love for sweets stemmed from a lack of maternal affection due to his overbearing mother. She further observed him at school, characterizing him in her novel as a popular yet cold, arrogant, and ruthless "girl killer" who was cool and aloof in public but a dominant, loyal "puppy" in private, especially after meeting the female lead.
Her "research" was cut short when Xi Song caught her stalking him at school. Song Miduo feigned needing to retrieve her notebook. Xi Song claimed he wasn't interested in "brain-dead romance stories," yet he kept the notebook. Song Miduo provocatively accused him of being two-faced, suggesting he secretly liked her writing, saying his body was honest even if his mouth denied it. She promised him the first published copy of her novel if he returned the original manuscript.
Xi Song agreed, but then reminded her of their previous deal: her notebook for "sleeping together" for two months. Song Miduo, flustered, tried to bargain, proposing "half a month" instead, which Xi Song immediately accepted, leaving Song Miduo realizing she had fallen into his trap. Frustrated by her reality, Song Miduo indulged in a vivid fantasy in her novel.
She wrote herself as a dominant queen and Xi Song as her submissive, loyal boyfriend, performing chores, giving massages, and even playing dress-up games. Back in reality, however, Song Miduo adhered to their agreement. After showering, she layered on multiple clothes before expertly climbing over the wall into Xi Song's house. Following the sound of a piano, she found Xi Song playing, composing his own music.
Impressed, she reminisced about her own piano lessons, boasting of winning an "Excellence Award" in a city competition and claiming she could have been as good as him if she had persevered, before catching Xi Song's stern expression and stopping herself. She then complained about the tediousness of piano practice, how it made life monotonous and risked depression or colorblindness.
Xi Song's expression darkened, and he sharply told her to keep her distance from his piano to avoid becoming a "colorblind person with depression." Song Miduo pouted, muttering about his lack of humor. Just then, Xi Song's phone rang. He got up to answer it, leaving Song Miduo alone with the piano. Curious, she quietly began to play it.
On the phone, Xi Song’s father heard the piano sounds and immediately questioned who was with him so late, speculating if it was Liang Ge or even Aunt Gu. When his father continued to press, Xi Song, exasperated, conceded that it was his girlfriend. Song Miduo, overhearing this, happily covered her mouth in surprise.
