My Special Girl Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Qixiu Anchor is a very popular singing live streaming platform now, and the singers participating in the Qixiu Ceremony are as skilled as those in professional singing competitions. On the restaurant terrace, Gu Jiuli celebrated with his employees the company's move into its new office in K11. Everyone there was a veteran who had followed Gu Jiuli since he started his business, and Gu Jiuli was very generous.
Gu Jiuli was invited to watch the Qixiu Ceremony, which he wasn't interested in, but he agreed under Shi Fei's persuasion. A Dai, an anchor for the Qixiu Ceremony, was on her way to the event and had been urged repeatedly by the organizers because she was late. A Dai mistakenly took Gu Jiuli's car for the designated driver she had called, causing an embarrassing situation.
However, she then learned that the car she called had broken down and couldn't come. Unable to find a ride at that moment, A Dai had no choice but to plead with Gu Jiuli, who was going the same way, to give her a ride. On the way, Gu Jiuli maintained his aloof image. But when A Dai discovered that Gu Jiuli was taking a detour, she nervously pressed 110.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jiuli explained with frustration that he changed the route just so she could arrive before nine o'clock. Upon arriving at K11, A Dai rushed in recklessly and was almost hit, but fortunately, Gu Jiuli reached out to help her. Upon reaching the venue, Gu Jiuli was welcomed in by a dedicated person, and A Dai also entered her designated number two anchor room.
The anchor chosen by Gu Jiuli would receive a 15% increase in points, but she looked around and felt that all these anchors looked exactly the same. A Dai's ranking dropped to second, and her fans had been asking her to take off her mask, so A Dai decided to make a big move and remove it. Although Gu Jiuli was face-blind, he recognized the necklace around A Dai's neck. Gu Jiuli received a call and left in a hurry.
The voting screen stopped on A Dai's live streaming interface, so this vote naturally counted towards A Dai, making her the preliminary champion. -------------------- Jiuqian Technology, founded by Gu Jiuli, is dedicated to developing companion robots. Because the engine did not pass the investment company's assessment, they were suddenly notified that the investment would be withdrawn.
Gu Jiuli remained calm and analyzed the pros and cons of their competitor, Smile Technology, and hoped the other party would give him two months to achieve the performance target. If he couldn't do it in two months, the consequences for Gu Jiuli would be very severe, but he still chose to do so. In fact, his true identity is the young master of the Hua family group.
Many people can't understand why a rich second generation would start his own business; only Gu Jiuli knows the reason. The Qixiu lounge was next door to Gu Jiuli's new office. A group of female anchors saw the handsome Gu Jiuli packing through the glass and were instantly captivated, especially after learning his identity. Many of them took the initiative to approach him, but Gu Jiuli's way of refusing them was also quite remarkable.
A Dai also learned about Gu Jiuli's identity, so she added his WeChat with her own intentions, saying she wanted to pay him back. Gu Jiuli initially didn't intend to bother, but Shi Fei thought she just wanted to return the money, so Gu Jiuli, uncharacteristically, agreed. This made A Dai's heart flutter, feeling that Gu Jiuli must like her.
Gu Jiuli, however, only thought about getting her to pay him back, so he deliberately liked one of her posts on her Moments. They chatted back and forth casually. Gu Jiuli's thoughts were unclear, but A Dai was completely swept away. Overnight, anchor A Dai transformed into He Liang, a current university student. She wanted to send Gu Jiuli a message saying good morning, but instead, she saw a large red exclamation mark.
Gu Jiuli's actions the previous day were actually just to prove to Shi Fei that his logical thinking was correct. He Liang was depressed and wanted to add him back but didn't have the courage because she was now just the ordinary senior student He Liang.
He Liang was looking for an internship because her mother thought being an anchor was not a proper job, so He Liang could only find a job to cover up the truth that she was an anchor. When she had nothing to do, He Liang also wondered if she could really join K11 to work, would she meet Gu Jiuli there? He Liang participated in many interviews but didn't receive any offers.
In fact, she really wanted to interview at Jiuqian Technology, but she was afraid Gu Jiuli would recognize her, as it was better for as few people as possible to know about her double identity. Despite this, He Liang couldn't help but wander around the entrance of Jiuqian's company and was mistaken for someone coming for an interview. He Liang looked around curiously and met Gu Jiuli head-on. Standing frozen in place, He Liang's heart fluttered with anxiety.
Episode 2 Recap
He Liang didn't expect that Gu Jiuli didn't recognize her. He even snatched the milk tea from her hand, thinking she was a delivery person. He Liang stood frozen in place, at a loss, and was about to slip away. Unexpectedly, Gu Jiuli's milk tea arrived at that moment, and He Liang was instantly surrounded by the people from Jiuqian Technology. They all thought He Liang was a suitor secretly in love with Gu Jiuli.
He Liang repeatedly and anxiously denied it, then took out her resume, stating that she was here to look for a job. However, Gu Jiuli flipped through two pages and rejected her, saying the R&D department didn't hire women. Everyone pleaded for He Liang, but Gu Jiuli again used his well-established theoretical system to persuade them. As she left in disappointment, He Liang accidentally heard that a child was trapped in a car with no parent in sight.
As someone with a background in early childhood education, He Liang followed anxiously. Many people in the underground parking lot were worried about the child, and Gu Jiuli also walked over with concern when he saw the situation. When everyone was at a loss, Gu Jiuli said the car had an AI smart system that could rescue the child by calling out.
So, He Liang used her loud voice to get the AI to open the sunroof, and then she climbed in through the sunroof. But she didn't open the car door easily; instead, she used a gentle voice to comfort the frightened child. Only after his emotions stabilized did she bring the child out, so that the child would not be traumatized when they grew up. After this incident, Gu Jiuli decided to give He Liang another chance.
Before the interview, Shi Fei quietly slipped He Liang a note with the interview questions. But He Liang chose to give her own answers. Just the first question made Gu Jiuli empathize, and she was successfully hired. As she walked out of K11, He Liang still couldn't believe that she had actually gotten into Gu Jiuli's company! Shi Fei told Gu Jiuli that he had secretly given He Liang the answers, but she hadn't just recited them.
That evening, He Liang, transformed into A Dai, encountered a fire drill. He Liang, who was about to take the elevator downstairs, was pulled back by Gu Jiuli. After realizing that Gu Jiuli didn't recognize her, He Liang understood that he might be face-blind. She chased after him, asking many questions, and unexpectedly learned that the truth about her winning the championship was due to Gu Jiuli's crucial vote.
He Liang was confused by Gu Jiuli's series of bewildering actions and specifically consulted with her roommates about it. He Liang officially started working at Jiuqian and got to know her colleagues. Then, she cautiously sent a friend request to Gu Jiuli again. Gu Jiuli was discussing work with Shi Fei. Afterwards, He Liang was called into Gu Jiuli's office and was given some instructions for her upcoming tasks. However, there was a little awkwardness when she left the office.
Gu Jiuli noticed that after He Liang "patted" him on WeChat, he also "patted" back. But who knew that the suffix He Liang had set was so embarrassing? The atmosphere between them became incredibly awkward for a moment. Xiao C took a liking to He Liang's idol merchandise, but He Liang refused to sell it no matter the price. That evening, the company had a dinner gathering, and the newly hired He Liang was in charge of ordering.
Xiao C, with the intention of messing with her, deliberately told He Liang that Gu Jiuli loved spicy food and couldn't do without it! But Gu Jiuli, who usually ate lightly, was somewhat petrified when he saw a table full of Sichuan dishes. He Liang even kept turning the spicy dishes towards Gu Jiuli, only to be told that Gu Jiuli didn't eat spicy food. He Liang was depressed about this for a long time.
Shi Fei specifically created an opportunity for her to make amends, telling them to go to the food center upstairs to get something to eat and fill their stomachs. However, He Liang didn't know what he liked to eat, so she hit roadblocks everywhere. But with Shi Fei's off-field assistance, He Liang successfully won the support of the big boss Gu Jiuli with a Strawberry Sweetheart Smoothie.
Episode 3 Recap
Gu Jiuli knew that someone had deliberately bullied He Liang today, and also said that if anyone bullied her again in the future, she should tell him. He Liang smiled very happily. Gu Jiuli casually picked up the straw in her hand that was folded into a heart shape. The atmosphere was still a bit awkward. Gu Jiuli liked a soufflé from a shop with limited sales, and He Liang decided to buy one for him.
After work, He Liang put on makeup in the restroom and transformed into A Dai, then specifically waited for Gu Jiuli at the entrance of the soufflé shop. When he was told the soufflé was sold out, she generously gave him one, but was unexpectedly exposed by scalpers. He Liang then followed Gu Jiuli to buy a strawberry milkshake from the shop next door, deliberately looking for common topics, which ended up nauseating herself.
Back at the dorm, her roommates suggested she just push him down directly. He Liang fantasized about a scene where she forcefully pushed Gu Jiuli down, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. He Liang was collecting micro-expressions outside when she was suddenly called back to the company for a meeting. Gu Jiuli wanted to redo the engine.
Xiao C's attitude was very opposed, but Gu Jiuli's attitude was also very firm, stating it was a notice, not a discussion. He Liang didn't understand their topic at all, but it sounded very impressive. After work, He Liang prepared to go into the restroom to complete her transformation, but was misunderstood by a colleague as feeling unwell.
After the transformation, He Liang saw that Gu Jiuli also went to the restroom, so she prepared a tissue with her live stream room number on it, telling him to appear in the live stream room tonight, or he would be responsible for the consequences. Gu Jiuli casually used the tissue to wipe his hands and, seeing no trash can, stuffed it into his pocket.
This tissue was discovered by Gu Jiuli's good friend Han Yijie, who also remembered the live stream room. He Liang was giving back to her fans in the live stream room when she discovered someone with the ID "Jiuli" in the live stream room. He Liang naturally took him for Gu Jiuli, but she didn't expect that this was just Han Yijie trying to help Gu Jiuli find a partner.
He Liang got sixty-nine points in her elective advanced mathematics course and was facing the dilemma of a make-up exam. When Xiao C heard this, he laughed heartily and even threatened to tell everyone. He Liang had no choice but to agree to give him her idol merchandise and begged him to tutor her in advanced mathematics. Xiao C reluctantly agreed, and the two studied during mealtime, but were misunderstood by colleagues as having a secret relationship.
Gu Jiuli unintentionally saw Xiao C pointing and scolding He Liang's head. The two looked very intimate. The festival gift Hu Jie prepared this time was a water cup, because she thought He Liang was constipated and specifically told Gu Jiuli about it, so this gift was specially arranged by Gu Jiuli. Everyone outside was making fun of He Liang and Xiao C. To prevent Xiao C from revealing her secret, He Liang added a signed photo.
Xiao C happily hugged her and jumped around. Seeing this, the open-minded Gu Jiuli did not interfere with his employees' private lives. Han Yijie gave He Liang a gift in Gu Jiuli's name, which was also a water cup. This made He Liang even happier. Afterwards, He Liang also received a message from him inviting her to have lunch together tomorrow.
Han Yijie told Gu Jiuli that he had helped him arrange a meeting with someone he wanted to ask out but didn't dare to. The next day, He Liang went to eat dressed as A Dai, but received a message about the advanced math tutoring. She had no choice but to ask her aunt Chen Yibai to meet the person for her.
He Liang happily skipped back to Jiuqian to get something, only to find that Gu Jiuli was actually at the company. He didn't recognize He Liang, but recognized the necklace instead. Gu Jiuli had already found out about Han Yijie's actions last night, so he specifically explained it to He Liang. He Liang was a little sad.
Episode 4 Recap
He Liang tentatively asked if Gu Jiuli had any good feelings for her, but Gu Jiuli was indeed completely uninterested in her. All of He Liang's actions these past few days seemed very fake in Gu Jiuli's eyes. He Liang sadly left a gift, she didn't like owing others. She had fallen in love with Gu Jiuli at first sight, but He Liang did not agree with what Gu Jiuli said, "wearing strange makeup and singing strange songs.
" He could dislike her, but he couldn't belittle her work. Even though He Liang liked Gu Jiuli, they were equal. Leaving Jiuqian Technology, the tutoring had already finished. Her friend severely scolded her. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she received another message saying the big boss wanted Mengmeng Jiang to compete with her, and only by winning could she participate in the Qixiu Grand Ceremony. He Liang, who had just been rejected, felt wronged and collapsed inside.
Han Yijie fell in love with Chen Yibai at first sight. The two came in place of He Liang and Gu Jiuli, and similarly, each had ulterior motives. When experts spar, every move is deadly. Han Yijie took Chen Yibai to eat street food. Chen Yibai originally wanted to teach him a good lesson, but unexpectedly, their eating habits were exactly the same, which made Han Yijie look at her with new eyes.
Chen Yibai received a message and quickly packed up and left, which made Han Yijie completely open his heart to her. However, Han Yijie still thought the person who came was He Liang. Gu Jiuli also thought so. Chen Yibai returned home and told He Liang to resign, but He Liang wrapped herself up tightly and said tearlessly, wanting to cry, that the person she met was not Gu Jiuli.
He Liang, who had adjusted her mood, continued to go to work, but when she met Gu Jiuli, she always felt a bit of heartache. During the meeting, Xiao C felt targeted by Gu Jiuli's plan because it was rushed. He was emotionally agitated and almost started arguing. He Liang kindly stepped forward to mediate but was scolded by Xiao C. Gu Jiuli specifically reminded them not to bring work emotions into their personal feelings.
Xiao C told He Liang to go and clarify their relationship with Gu Jiuli. The two of them then went in front of Gu Jiuli to clarify. Under Xiao C's urging, they stated the real reason they were together, which was for tutoring. However, Xiao C's tone described He Liang as a stupid woman. Gu Jiuli insisted that he apologize, but Xiao C declared that whoever managed to teach her would not only apologize but also eat a mouse.
A group of tech guys surrounded He Liang, helping her with tutoring. Unfortunately, He Liang really didn't have much talent, and everyone was helpless. Gu Jiuli only gave He Liang one example, and He Liang was immediately enlightened. After work, Gu Jiuli kindly drove He Liang home. Actually, many people know right from wrong, but few can do it, and He Liang is one of those few. He Liang, who was praised, was in a great mood.
Han Yijie was very surprised to see Gu Jiuli watching TV. Gu Jiuli quickly turned off the TV, returned to his room, and secretly watched "Empresses in the Palace. " Han Yijie joined Jiuqian Technology. As soon as he arrived, he gossiped about the relationship between Gu Jiuli and He Liang. The reason Gu Jiuli was watching "Empresses in the Palace" was actually also to help He Liang with tutoring. Because of his special example, He Liang finally learned advanced mathematics.
Episode 5 Recap
Han Yijie finally understood why Gu Jiuli didn't like A Dai. It turns out he liked pure and pitiful girls like He Liang. Han Yijie thought Gu Jiuli, as a director, didn't have much prestige. Gu Jiuli also hoped everyone could work together as one, but it seemed a bit difficult currently. He Liang generously gave Xiao C some idol merchandise. Xiao C also bowed his head and apologized, though he was actually angry with Gu Jiuli.
It turned out that when Xiao C had just graduated, he had better options, but because of a single sentence from Gu Jiuli, he chose him. In fact, Gu Jiuli was also very impressive before starting his business, and he didn't take a single cent from the Hua Corporation when he started it. Everything was from his own money. Before, they had no money and lived in a small place in the suburbs, which was tough but happy.
However, Xiao C felt that Gu Jiuli had changed since they moved here, and he believed Gu Jiuli was absolutely incapable of creating his own engine. Xiao C and Shi Fei were together looking for the non-human engine. It might be useful for Jiuqian, but its creator had not shown up. They left a stunning glimpse on the world stage and then disappeared.
Everyone thought that for Gu Jiuli to develop the engine, a miracle troop would have to descend from the sky, and this was the most suitable combination. He Liang was very angry and didn't understand why they didn't believe Gu Jiuli could do it. In fact, Gu Jiuli was the creator of the non-human engine. Han Yijie originally wanted to tell everyone the truth, but Gu Jiuli didn't want to do that.
At a critical moment for the company's survival, everyone had already eliminated the concept of commuting. He Liang waited for a long time, seeing that it was almost too late, so she had to sneak into the restroom with her bag to put on makeup. After finishing her makeup, He Liang came out and met Gu Jiuli. He apologized for the previous matter and asked her to help find some Jiuqian colleagues.
He Liang responded easily and then went to the live broadcast room. However, today's live broadcast effect was not very good. He Liang then challenged her weak point, rock music, but still couldn't turn the tide. At this stage, she and Mengmeng Jiang were completely not on the same level. After work, He Liang, riding her bicycle, passed by Mengmeng Jiang, who was driving a luxury car.
Gu Jiuli sent her a message caring about her health, and He Liang's mood brightened up again. Han Yijie tried every possible way to find "A Dai"'s contact information. After hitting a wall, he went to gossip about He Liang. Gu Jiuli never hired girls into the company, but He Liang was an exception. Gu Jiuli also never tutored anyone, and He Liang was also an exception.
Han Yijie stated clearly that Gu Jiuli treated He Liang differently and encouraged her to ask Gu Jiuli out for a meal. Han Yijie was breaking his heart worrying about Gu Jiuli's lifelong matter of finding a partner, but He Liang was a bit afraid to make a move. Chen Yibai met Han Yijie at the company. The two who recognized each other were full of curiosity. The boss asked Chen Yibai to take care of Han Yijie.
Chen Yibai explained that she was not A Dai; she was just her friend, but Han Yijie didn't believe her. After discussing the plan, Han Yijie forced Chen Yibai to treat him to a meal, and the two went back to the same street food stall they had been to last time. For Han Yijie, it didn't matter who she was because the person he liked was Chen Yibai in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Chen Yibai introduced her boyfriend, Da Zuo, to him. Han Yijie's face looked very bad. On the way home, Da Zuo was stammering, trying to tell Chen Yibai something, but Chen Yibai was completely absorbed in work and didn't notice. During the tutoring session, He Liang racked her brain trying to figure out how to ask him out for a meal. Finally, she found a clumsy excuse, and unexpectedly, Gu Jiuli readily agreed.
However, the restaurant He Liang booked was a couple's restaurant, and they needed to play a game before dining. Gu Jiuli drew the task of doing his companion's hair up in a bun.
Episode 6 Recap
Gu Jiuli tried very hard to tie a perfect bun for He Liang, but his hands were clumsy. He Liang was tormented many times before a bun was reluctantly made. The restaurant waiter quickly came over to smooth things over, and the two could finally eat. The restaurant also had an activity: sharing a QR code on WeChat Moments and getting 100 likes would earn a super spicy chicken drumstick.
Considering Gu Jiuli doesn't eat spicy food, He Liang didn't order it. But while she was in the restroom, Gu Jiuli had already shared the QR code on WeChat Moments to collect likes, because he could see that He Liang really wanted to eat it. He Liang also thought of what Han Yijie said, that Gu Jiuli treated her differently. Xiao C and Shi Fei called separately to gossip.
One suspected Gu Jiuli was eating with another woman, and the other suspected his WeChat Moments was hacked, leaving Gu Jiuli speechless. He Liang, however, was secretly happy. He Liang originally wanted to sneak away to pay the bill, but Gu Jiuli paid it instead. The waiter gave the photo they had just taken to the two of them.
He Liang also confessed that the free meal excuse was a lie, and she actually wanted to treat him to dinner to express her gratitude. Gu Jiuli said she could just tell him directly next time, making He Liang even happier internally. Han Yijie was depressed because Chen Yibai had a boyfriend and was also worried about Gu Jiuli's love life.
On the rooftop, He Liang accidentally overheard Han Yijie asking Shi Fei about Gu Jiuli's recent love life, saying that Gu Jiuli must have fallen for He Liang. During the live broadcast, He Liang chose to connect with Mengmeng Jiang for a joint stream. The other party wanted to PK viewership, and both sides agreed on Thursday night. After realizing she liked Gu Jiuli, He Liang no longer acted as a shield for her friend Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi had to pull Yang Panpan to help him get rid of his ex-girlfriend. He Liang asked Yang Panpan again how to tell if someone liked her. Everything Yang Panpan said corresponded to Gu Jiuli's actions, which confirmed to He Liang that Gu Jiuli really did like her. Yang Panpan advised He Liang to make a move.
The next day, with the help of her strategist Yang Panpan, He Liang, wearing a floral dress, deliberately waited downstairs at the company, planning to fall into Gu Jiuli's arms, but something went wrong. Yang Panpan also helped He Liang give Gu Jiuli a gift: homemade peanut candy. After eating it, Gu Jiuli specifically thanked He Liang. Unexpectedly, Gu Jiuli ended up in the hospital due to a peanut allergy, leaving He Liang wanting to cry but tearless.
Shi Fei specifically arranged for He Liang to deliver documents to Gu Jiuli. He Liang, feeling apologetic, went to his house and brought him bubble tea. However, He Liang entered the wrong password when entering, and the door was locked. Gu Jiuli had to search everywhere for the spare key. He Liang accidentally saw a photo of him with his parents and asked curiously about them. Unfortunately, they had passed away ten years ago. The key couldn't be found.
While waiting for someone to fix the door, Gu Jiuli was handling work. Seeing He Liang looking a bit lost beside him, he told her to watch TV.
Episode 7 Recap
He Liang was restless on the sofa because she needed to use the restroom. After a long mental preparation, she finally asked for the location of the restroom and hurried off to use it. However, He Liang saw many skincare products in Gu Jiuli's secondary bathroom, which suddenly made her feel a little disappointed. Who knew Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie lived together? When she came out of the restroom, Gu Jiuli had fallen asleep on the sofa.
He Liang covered him with a blanket. Just as she was feeling disappointed, she heard Han Yijie's voice from the doorway. He Liang realized that Han Yijie lived here and knew she had misunderstood. Gu Jiuli stopped He Liang from speaking, and then asked Han Yijie to come back in an hour. Han Yijie realized that Gu Jiuli was with a girl and wisely went off to wander.
He Liang's stomach rumbled, so Gu Jiuli steamed two portions of eggs for her to eat. He Liang praised his cooking skills highly. Both of them received phone calls at the same time. Today was Thursday, the day He Liang was supposed to PK with Mengmeng Jiang. But Gu Jiuli's call was from the repairman, whose car had a minor collision on the way and couldn't make it. He could only come tomorrow.
This meant the two of them would have to spend the night together. He Liang was very excited and quickly agreed. Chen Yibai and Zhao Dazuo were heading back home. Zhao Dazuo's mood was strange, but Chen Yibai didn't notice. A tire suddenly went flat, so Chen Yibai got out to fix it. This severely frustrated Zhao Dazuo's self-esteem. Coupled with their life where the woman was always stronger than the man, Zhao Dazuo broke up with Chen Yibai.
Chen Yibai was hurt, alone in the rain. There were only fifteen minutes left before the live broadcast, but He Liang still didn't know where she was going to stream. In the end, she could only choose the restroom. There wasn't enough time, so He Liang didn't put on makeup or show her face, just simply sang. However, Gu Jiuli heard He Liang singing.
He knocked on the door and interrupted, scaring He Liang so much that she didn't dare to sing anymore. Unexpectedly, the fans in the live stream room mistakenly thought she couldn't hit the high notes and she lost the PK. He Liang still had to accept a penalty. Zhu Yi specifically called again to inquire about the situation. Hearing Gu Jiuli's questioning voice from outside the door, He Liang hung up the phone in frustration.
After taking a shower, He Liang came out wearing the oversized pajamas Gu Jiuli had prepared. However, this sight made Gu Jiuli's face turn red like a persimmon, and even his voice became a little hoarse. He Liang thought Gu Jiuli was sick and stopped him from drinking ice water. But Gu Jiuli stubbornly snatched it back, said that Han Yijie's bedroom was too messy and she should sleep on the sofa, and then returned to his bedroom.
He Liang watched his retreating back, wondering why he was so strange tonight. Han Yijie had nowhere to go. Seeing Chen Yibai soaked like a drowned rat, he quickly opened a hotel room for her to take a shower. Chen Yibai's mood was very bad, and there were also wounds on her hands from fixing the car earlier. Han Yijie helped her blow dry her hair, hoping that with him around, Chen Yibai's day wouldn't be too bad.
Chen Yibai ordered a meal package. Han Yijie also specifically prepared ginger brown sugar water for Chen Yibai, and then he was ready to go back to the company. Chen Yibai appeared calm on the surface, but she was still very touched and asked him to stay, though he would have to sleep on the sofa. Gu Jiuli was thirsty in the middle of the night but didn't dare to go out to find water.
He Liang on the sofa was still excited and thrilled about being under the same roof as him. She even set an alarm specifically to wake up before Gu Jiuli so he wouldn't see her in her messy state. However, when He Liang woke up the next day, she found things weren't simple. She had set the alarm incorrectly. Thinking Gu Jiuli was still asleep, she took out a spoon to de-puff her eyes.
Gu Jiuli, who had just returned from a run, was very surprised to see this. He Liang used Gu Jiuli's facial cleanser. After breakfast, the two of them went to work together. On the way, He Liang wanted to portray an image of someone who loves sports. Who knew Gu Jiuli revealed the truth about her talking in her sleep and drooling that morning? And what she said in her sleep was secretly scolding Gu Jiuli, her boss, behind his back.
Episode 8 Recap
He Liang was so scared by Gu Jiuli's words that she hugged his arm to express her loyalty, saying he was the best boss in the world. However, Gu Jiuli was just teasing her. He Liang crossed her arms, upset, and Gu Jiuli quickly stroked her head to apologize. Han Yijie woke up in the morning and found that Chen Yibai was already gone, leaving some money in the room.
Han Yijie called Chen Yibai, but the call was ruthlessly hung up. Han Yijie then very dramatically posted a moment on WeChat to commemorate the ambiguous night they had. When Chen Yibai saw it, she was heartbroken and on the verge of tears, demanding that Han Yijie delete the moment. Han Yijie, however, insisted that she be his girlfriend. From Chen Yibai's state yesterday, it was clear she had been heartbroken, so she couldn't fool Han Yijie at all.
Han Yijie saw Gu Jiuli staring motionlessly at He Liang and understood Gu Jiuli's thoughts. He was scared because Gu Jiuli had never liked anyone before. Gu Jiuli wasn't sure if he liked He Liang. Maybe she was just a slightly different subordinate to him, not in a romantic way. During the tutoring session, Gu Jiuli saw He Liang was a bit distracted, so he said that if she could solve this problem, he would give her a reward.
He Liang's eyes widened instantly, and she excitedly asked, "Anything? Aren't you afraid I'll make unreasonable demands? " Hearing this, Gu Jiuli became a little agitated. He leaned closer and asked her in a questioning tone what kind of reward she wanted. Of course, He Liang didn't dare to say she hoped he liked her, so she just shook her head and said she didn't want a reward.
Gu Jiuli's expression was a little strange, and then he mumbled to himself, "Whether she can do it or not, I'll take her home. " After the tutoring session ended, Gu Jiuli and He Liang couldn't wait for the elevator, so they started walking down the stairs. Because the lighting was dim and a little scary, Gu Jiuli generously offered an arm to He Liang for support.
In the car, Gu Jiuli irritably loosened his tie and then suddenly stepped on the brake. He Liang didn't notice, and the atmosphere was very strange. Chen Yibai was very curious to find that He Liang had been driven back by Gu Jiuli. He Liang said it was on his way. Chen Yibai asked He Liang about Han Yijie's background, as he was pursuing her.
Gu Jiuli's mood was very strange, but Han Yijie was chatting very happily with Chen Yibai. He Liang accidentally let slip that she had been with Gu Jiuli. Afterward, she also learned that Chen Yibai and Zhao Dazuo had broken up. As for Han Yijie, Chen Yibai thought he had a good appearance and came from a good family; she had no reason not to accept him.
However, if they were together, He Liang's identity as A Dai wouldn't be kept secret, and Gu Jiuli would also find out. Although He Liang did hesitate for a moment, she still chose to make way for Chen Yibai's feelings and agreed with both hands and feet. But the things Chen Yibai said just now were lies to her. She thought Han Yijie was childish, frivolous, and pretentious, and had no intention of being with him at all.
Chen Yibai gave He Liang the bag that Zhao Dazuo had given her. On the surface, she acted generously, but her sadness only showed when she was alone. Gu Jiuli was gloomy and unhappy. He posted a moment on WeChat and found that no one liked it, especially not He Liang. Han Yijie saw that Gu Jiuli was depressed about this and, in a fit of kindness, taught him a few tricks.
Gu Jiuli sent a message to He Liang, then deliberately withdrew it to start a conversation. The next day, He Liang gave Gu Jiuli a stress-relief gift. Han Yijie secretly watched from the side. Han Yijie gave Gu Jiuli a relationship weighting table and asked him to score He Liang. He Liang decided to collect some dog expressions and work hard. After Gu Jiuli finished scoring He Liang, he found that her score was completely failing.
It was Jiang Tian's birthday, and she was inviting everyone to go singing together. He Liang, who was doing an outdoor shoot, learned the news and specifically bought a gift before going over. Everyone played the game "You Draw, I Guess". Gu Jiuli and He Liang were on the same team. Han Yijie deliberately came up with many ambiguous words, such as "love at first kiss". Han Yijie kept encouraging Gu Jiuli to move.
Gu Jiuli cautiously leaned closer to He Liang's mouth. He Liang had no intention of refusing at all, feeling that giving her first kiss to Gu Jiuli wouldn't be a loss anyway. Who knew that at this crucial moment, they were interrupted again.
Episode 9 Recap
Gu Jiuli held He Liang close to him, pressed the password lock open, and after opening the door, he used the momentum to "wall-slam" He Liang against the door, asking her to recite the password. He Liang originally wanted to pour Gu Jiuli a glass of water, but was pressed onto the sofa by Gu Jiuli to have her hair tied into a bun. He didn't stop until he tied a good-looking bun. Gu Jiuli looked left and right.
He Liang's mind was in chaos, but she still had to warn herself not to pounce on him. Gu Jiuli insisted on taking a photo to show Shi Fei and the others. He Liang tried hard to stop him, and the two accidentally fell onto the sofa. He Liang was lying beneath Gu Jiuli and asked him if he liked her even a little. Gu Jiuli didn't answer but asked a question in return.
He Liang took the opportunity to confess her feelings, saying that she had liked Gu Jiuli's agreeable nature from the first time they met, and the more they spent time together later, the more her liking grew. Gu Jiuli didn't answer and eventually fell asleep. He Liang was extremely depressed, but she also felt a little secretly happy in her heart. When he woke up the next morning, He Liang was already gone.
Han Yijie returned home and teased Gu Jiuli, but Gu Jiuli didn't even know He Liang had been there last night. Although he confirmed that nothing had happened between them, Han Yijie's reminder made Gu Jiuli recall his time with He Liang last night. He Liang had forgotten to give the birthday gift yesterday, so she put it in his office early in the morning. She accidentally found the scoring table that Gu Jiuli had thrown in the trash.
Seeing that she only had thirty-six points, He Liang felt very depressed and was listless throughout the whole workday. He Liang became even unhappier when she saw the stress-relief straw she had given to Gu Jiuli in the company pantry. As expected, Gu Jiuli didn't like her, not even wanting the things she gave him. Xiao C came to gossip about the relationship between Gu Jiuli and He Liang. He Liang denied it in a low mood.
Xiao C deliberately put He Liang's expression from just now on the big screen. Her frustrated expression was visible to the naked eye. He Liang could only explain that she really liked that drink. Gu Jiuli had no choice but to call her to the office and took out the stress-relief straw He Liang had given him. He Liang's mood instantly improved significantly. When testing the program, Gu Jiuli asked He Liang to give instructions.
Everyone in front of Xiao Jiu said something one after another, and soon Xiao Jiu had a problem. Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie had a headache over this. Han Yijie believed Gu Jiuli was a genius programmer, but Xiao Jiu couldn't accommodate his creativity. Everyone was unhappy, and Xiao C even explicitly said he wouldn't do it anymore. But everyone knew Gu Jiuli's character, and some also expressed that they would support him no matter what he did.
Shi Fei also mentioned that Gu Jiuli had paid for the bonuses himself. They all trusted Gu Jiuli and supported him. Zhu Yi came to the company to find He Liang. Because she lost the PK with Mengmeng Jiang, He Liang dropped out of the top ten. Gu Jiuli, however, saw the intimate actions between the two and was so angry that he even bit the straw until it was ruined.
Han Yijie added fuel to the fire next to him, urging Gu Jiuli to take the initiative. Gu Jiuli paid for their bill and also sent over a strawberry milkshake. After He Liang returned to the office, Gu Jiuli asked her where she had gone during work hours, subtly inquiring about Zhu Yi's relationship with her. Gu Jiuli also reminded He Liang not to leave after work and to stay for tutoring.
He Liang firmly supported Gu Jiuli, but everyone else was very worried and even ran to Han Yijie to ask about the whereabouts of Zheng Wuqiong. Han Yijie, due to Gu Jiuli keeping it a secret, naturally couldn't tell the truth. For Gu Jiuli, Xiao Jiu was not just a career but also his dream. After work, Gu Jiuli saw that He Liang seemed to have something on her mind, so he specifically came to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
Episode 10 Recap
Gu Jiuli tentatively asked He Liang if he did anything excessive after getting drunk last night. He Liang didn't want to feel awkward, so she said she just saw him to the door and left. Tomorrow was the weekend, so Gu Jiuli proactively asked He Liang to go somewhere with him tomorrow. The next day, Gu Jiuli and He Liang walked around the university campus. Gu Jiuli's good looks attracted many admiring glances from girls.
He Liang kept her head down, unwilling to face them. The two ran into He Liang's advanced math teacher. He Liang hid behind Gu Jiuli, hoping to slip by unnoticed, but she was still spotted by the teacher and given a stern talking-to. Gu Jiuli claimed to be He Liang's family member and went to talk to the teacher privately a short distance away. He wanted to know the teacher's opinion on He Liang's advanced math grades.
The teacher thought her foundation was poor. Gu Jiuli probed if He Liang was in a relationship. The teacher recalled that He Liang seemed to be quite close to a boy from the economics department. Gu Jiuli indirectly asked He Liang if she was dating. Of course, He Liang wasn't. She worked during the day and studied at night; where would she find the energy to date? Gu Jiuli breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he had He Liang take a test paper there. To his surprise, He Liang actually passed this time. He Liang was extremely excited and tentatively asked him how she should thank him. Gu Jiuli answered a phone call and refused, saying he had something to do tonight. He Liang thought she had been dragging Gu Jiuli down and quickly said that Gu Jiuli would be free from now on; her goal was just to pass.
But Gu Jiuli looked at her with a disappointed and somewhat wronged expression. Yang Panpan passed by the classroom and quickly came in to greet He Liang. Gu Jiuli was quite aloof because of what just happened. Zhu Yi also came looking for He Liang, which made Gu Jiuli feel a surge of jealousy. Zhu Yi and He Liang were about to leave together. Gu Jiuli reluctantly asked, "Is this really the last lesson?
" Zhu Yi stepped forward to introduce himself and casually mentioned his close relationship with He Liang. Gu Jiuli left disappointed. Zhu Yi talked about the live stream with He Liang, but He Liang only had Gu Jiuli on her mind. She felt she only caused trouble for everyone and couldn't do anything well, and she didn't want to accept the punishment.
Yang Panpan fell in love with Gu Jiuli at first sight and wanted him to take her back to the dormitory, but Gu Jiuli completely ignored her and drove away. This month was a very happy one for He Liang. Not only did she meet someone she liked, but he also helped her with tutoring. He Liang gradually became a little greedy and started wondering if Gu Jiuli liked her too.
But after seeing that note, He Liang felt she had been delusional; she wasn't good enough for Gu Jiuli. Gu Jiuli witnessed He Liang and Zhu Yi interacting intimately, so he dragged Han Yijie out to play basketball to vent his frustration. Gu Jiuli had already thought of a solution for Xiao Jiu, but he needed to borrow some money from Han Yijie.
Back then, Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie, as the Infinite team, developed the engine and won the championship. They could turn the tide ten years ago, and Xiao Jiu could emerge ten years later. Han Yijie tentatively asked about He Liang and Gu Jiuli. He Liang was a bit strange today. Gu Jiuli was actually quite depressed too, but if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.
To confess to Chen Yibai, Han Yijie put a confession video on a USB drive. This video was played in front of everyone. Afterward, Gong Ming specifically asked about Chen Yibai's situation. Not knowing the full story, Gong Ming even asked Chen Yibai to properly apologize to Han Yijie. Han Yijie privately and proactively apologized to Chen Yibai. He thought that USB drive belonged to Chen Yibai.
Chen Yibai decisively rejected Han Yijie's confession, saying he didn't understand her at all. Han Yijie, however, was unwilling to give up. Mengmeng Jiang sent He Liang a package; it was the mustard she had to eat as punishment. Han Yijie inquired about Chen Yibai's love life from her colleagues. To his surprise, her boyfriends were apparently temporary (changed every season). He also unexpectedly learned that Chen Yibai was a streamer, specializing in unconventional cooking.
Chen Yibai mixed up a less pungent fake mustard for He Liang, but unexpectedly, Mengmeng Jiang specially added something to it and also demanded that He Liang sing while eating the mustard. He Liang had no choice but to agree. Chen Yibai watched anxiously from the side. Before the connection ended, He Liang suddenly thanked Mengmeng Jiang, saying that Mengmeng Jiang's appearance actually made her recognize herself.
She always thought she was the top streamer on Qi Xiu, but in reality, it was just because she hadn't encountered strong enough opponents. He Liang's words filled the fans in the live stream with complaints about Mengmeng Jiang, but He Liang inwardly vowed that she must become someone who makes others look at her in a new light. This live stream set an unprecedented viewership record. Niu Zong specifically requested that He Liang add thirty minutes to her live stream time in the future.
Episode 11 Recap
He Liang turned misfortune into fortune, but the last week of PK is also very important. With Gu Jiuli's help, He Liang passed her makeup exam. She happily bounced around to share the good news with everyone. She originally wanted to send Gu Jiuli a message, but in the end, she warned herself not to overthink things. After the live stream tonight, Niu Zong brought He Liang the agreement for the Qi Xiu Finals.
He Liang was extremely excited and quickly put away everything that had made her lose her drive, determined to sprint towards the finals. However, this was also the countdown to He Liang's departure. Han Yijie wanted to borrow Gu Jiuli's computer to watch Chen Yibai's live stream, but Gu Jiuli was preparing to snatch merchandise of the celebrity He Liang liked. In the end, he didn't get it. Han Yijie wasn't surprised; he couldn't compete with those kids.
Xiao C managed to get the merchandise. So Gu Jiuli bought it on Xianyu (a second-hand platform) for a high price and anonymously sent it to He Liang. He watched as He Liang received the package, still imagining her thanking him, but unexpectedly, He Liang gave the album to Xiao C. He Liang even thought it was sent by her management team. Gu Jiuli was so angry he couldn't speak.
Just then, he suddenly received a call from He Liang, but it was a police officer from the police station who spoke. He Liang was at the police station. Gu Jiuli rushed to the police station. It turned out that when He Liang went out for outdoor reporting, she encountered a thief stealing her camera. He Liang refused to let go no matter what, causing a scene that ended up at the police station.
Gu Jiuli signed the papers and got her out, looking helpless. The police officer just mentioned that He Liang had fainted, so Gu Jiuli dragged her to the hospital without a second thought. He Liang didn't want to go, so she had to make an excuse, saying she had her period. Gu Jiuli opened his mouth to explain about the album, but He Liang turned her head and fell asleep in the passenger seat.
--- When He Liang and Gu Jiuli talked about work, her sincerity reminded Gu Jiuli of his father. Back then, he won a competition championship and went to find his father, but his father was busy with work and didn't care about him at all. Thinking of this, Gu Jiuli looked dejected, and his parents were no longer alive. At that time, Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie were playing basketball when he received the call about his parents' accident.
Gu Jiuli suddenly asked He Liang what she was thinking. He Liang grumbled inwardly, then said that she wouldn't come to the company tomorrow. Her three-month internship period was over, and she was leaving Jiu Qian. He Liang took out her internship certificate and asked Gu Jiuli to stamp it. Gu Jiuli couldn't immediately accept the fact that she was leaving, and He Liang's reason was that her family hoped she would become a teacher.
He Liang packed her things and quietly left Jiu Qian, leaving a small gift at her workstation – a photo taken when they ate together at a restaurant. After Gu Jiuli finished the phone call, He Liang had already left and was nowhere to be seen. During the evening live stream, He Liang announced that she would make a clean break with the past and completely transform herself.
But after the live stream ended, He Liang felt a huge sense of loss. After work, He Liang saw Gu Jiuli drinking milk tea downstairs at the company, looking like he was in a very bad mood. He Liang remembered she left in too much of a hurry tonight and forgot to ask him for the internship certificate, so she sent him a message asking him to courier it to her.
Gu Jiuli, however, replied that he had already thrown it away. He Liang continued to probe, but Gu Jiuli left in the car with a scowl. Back home, Gu Jiuli told Han Yijie about He Liang's resignation. He felt that perhaps He Liang had never liked him from beginning to end. Seeing Gu Jiuli looking so dejected, Han Yijie quickly called He Liang, but she didn't answer.
Gu Jiuli composed himself, walked out of the room, and discussed company matters with Han Yijie. The investment company was going to cut projects, and they might need to be prepared. The company decided to have He Liang and Mengmeng Jiang form a female duo to perform together. He Liang was very depressed, and Mengmeng Jiang could sing and dance for an hour without getting tired. In comparison, He Liang's physical stamina was much worse.
Chen Yibai asked He Liang to pick someone up for her. Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be Han Yijie.
Episode 12 Recap
Han Yijie used a cheat to win the lucky fan slot in Chen Yibai's live stream, but He Liang didn't believe it was fate. Han Yijie asked He Liang why she resigned. He Liang replied that her family wanted her to become a teacher. Han Yijie immediately said he would go talk to Chen Yibai. Today, Chen Yibai was live streaming with the lucky fan.
Facing Han Yijie, Chen Yibai could only maintain a smile, but secretly added some seasoning to his soup. Chen Yibai's second dish was eel. Han Yijie's expression suddenly changed; he not only refused to eat it himself but also stopped Chen Yibai from eating it. The live stream was forced to end. Han Yijie asked He Liang to go out first, as he wanted to speak to Chen Yibai alone.
It turned out that when Han Yijie was sixteen, he participated in ocean activities with his parents. He saw marine life as his friends, so he never ate seafood. When Han Yijie left Chen Yibai's house, He Liang asked him if he was really pursuing Chen Yibai. She mentioned that her live stream had an advertisement placement and feared she might face claims.
Han Yijie told Gu Jiuli that he had seen He Liang, joking that He Liang was heartbroken by Gu Jiuli and that's why she resigned. Gu Jiuli almost went to find He Liang immediately. However, Han Yijie believed that everything He Liang did didn't get a response from Gu Jiuli, which is why she left disheartened. Perhaps He Liang felt the same way as Gu Jiuli.
Gu Jiuli opened the birthday gift He Liang had given him and looked at the photo of them together, feeling very sad in his heart. Han Yijie told Gu Jiuli that the person he liked was He Liang's aunt, and he would be Gu Jiuli's uncle-in-law in the future. The next day, Gu Jiuli dressed formally and went to the school to find He Liang. He unexpectedly met Yang Panpan, and He Liang who was helping Zhu Yi break up.
Gu Jiuli said the work handover was unclear, and he would not sign He Liang's internship certificate. Moreover, if He Liang wanted to leave, she had to find someone to replace her. Yang Panpan immediately jumped out and said she could, and He Liang also said Yang Panpan was more suitable than her. Gu Jiuli left sadly again. Chen Yibai found out Zhu Yi likes He Liang, so she found him wanting to cooperate.
She likes Gu Jiuli, Zhu Yi likes He Liang, their cooperation would be easy. He Liang originally wanted to chase after Gu Jiuli, but when she saw his car, she hid. Back at the company, Gu Jiuli had a sour face and lectured Xiao C. Xiao C thought he must be going through a midlife crisis. Chen Yibai's project encountered problems, and she couldn't even eat.
Seeing this, Han Yijie took a lunchbox to persuade her, and also said he would solve the logistics issue himself. After eating, Han Yijie pulled Chen Yibai to the aquarium. Chen Yibai was speechless, realizing that being willful and childish was his true nature. It was a critical juncture for the research institute, and Chen Yibai was already in a bad mood, yet he still took her to see jellyfish!
Chen Yibai hit Han Yijie a few times as if venting, only then realizing he was deliberately provoking her to let her vent her bad emotions. Looking at the jellyfish, Chen Yibai's heart suddenly felt much calmer, and the hands they were holding did not let go. Xiao C and Shi Fei wanted Gu Jiuli to approve a two-million budget for Zheng Wuyong. A few people propped up Han Yijie to help them plead their case.
Gu Jiuli naturally didn't agree and told Han Yijie to deal with them and not let them bother him with this matter. Han Yijie advised them to trust Gu Jiuli, but they instead wanted to raise money themselves. Han Yijie had to admit that Gu Jiuli was Zheng Wuyong, but unexpectedly, these people didn't believe it at all. Gu Jiuli was busy with work but often thought of He Liang.
Early the next morning, the entrance of Jiu Qian was packed with people wanting to invest. The entire Jiu Qian company was in chaos. Mr. Ma also came in person. Han Yijie was anxious and called Gu Jiuli, asking him to come to the company immediately. As soon as Gu Jiuli arrived at the underground parking lot, he met many people seeking investment.
Everyone learned that Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie were the genius youths who burst onto the scene back then. Mr. Ma also offered very favorable terms, but Gu Jiuli still insisted on retaining ownership of Xiao Jiu. In the end, they negotiated an investment of one billion for Jiu Qian.
Episode 13 Recap
The company came back to life, and Gu Jiuli became an idol in everyone's eyes. The next step was to hold a press conference. He Liang and Mengmengjiang learned dance with a teacher, but He Liang's stamina couldn't keep up at all. During the break, she opened a group chat and learned that Gu Jiuli was Zheng Wuyong, which further ignited her fighting spirit to become excellent.
The relationship between He Liang and Mengmengjiang also changed unconsciously; although they were rivals, they admired each other. Han Yijie helped Chen Yibai get the approval and insisted that she drive him home. The two met Zhao Dazuo in the underground parking lot. Zhao Dazuo thought it was Chen Yibai who tripped him up and caused Elder Gong to block his graduation thesis. He also arrogantly accused her of having a bad temper.
Han Yijie couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, grabbed his collar, demanded an apology, and even hit him. Han Yijie was injured and taken back by Chen Yibai to wipe his wounds. Han Yijie took the opportunity to ask for a hug. Although Chen Yibai was stubborn, she was soft-hearted and had no way to deal with him. However, Chen Yibai still didn't accept Han Yijie's confession.
Since breaking up with Zhao Dazuo, she had been seriously reflecting on herself, perhaps she didn't need men at all, as men don't like women who don't need them. Han Yijie wanted to prove that there were things Chen Yibai couldn't do, such as acting spoiled. Han Yijie didn't want Chen Yibai to feel guilty because she was excellent; he would definitely pursue Chen Yibai. Chen Yibai was finally moved and accepted Han Yijie's pursuit.
Han Yijie leaned on Chen Yibai's shoulder, unwilling to part. After He Liang returned, Chen Yibai immediately chased him away. Han Yijie not only revealed his identity as He Liang's uncle-in-law but also persuaded He Liang to return to Jiu Qian. To bring He Liang and Gu Jiuli together, Han Yijie suggested that Gu Jiuli organize a team-building event on May 20th. Gu Jiuli thought it was a good idea.
He Liang, having already resigned, naturally felt it was inappropriate to go, but under Han Yijie's threat, He Liang still agreed. On the day of the team building, Gu Jiuli still wore a suit and looked sharp. Chen Yibai attended as Han Yijie's relative, but because Gu Jiuli refused to stamp the internship certificate to force He Liang to participate in the team building, Chen Yibai's face was very unpleasant.
He Liang also brought Zhu Yi, saying that they grew up together and were like family, making Gu Jiuli's face extremely sour. In the car, He Liang and Zhu Yi talked quietly and flirted. Gu Jiuli sat nearby, unable to remain calm. Han Yijie was afraid that Gu Jiuli would rush up and fight Zhu Yi.
Chen Yibai felt that Gu Jiuli was bullying He Liang and strongly disagreed with Han Yijie helping him with ideas, saying that if Gu Jiuli sincerely liked He Liang, he had to show sincerity. Gu Jiuli suggested swapping seats with Zhu Yi because he was carsick. Zhu Yi pretended not to hear. He Liang had to give up her seat to him. During room allocation, the few people had another disagreement and could only draw lots.
Who knew Gu Jiuli would shoot himself in the foot and end up in the most remote room. That night, Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie tried to get Xiao C to bring He Liang to sing. Unexpectedly, He Liang also brought Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi and He Liang sang together, their voices matching very well. Gu Jiuli could only angrily run off to the restroom alone to practice singing, where he was run into by Han Yijie.
Zhu Yi happened to enter the restroom at this time and took the opportunity to fiercely mock Gu Jiuli. Gu Jiuli was just about to showcase his singing voice, but He Liang changed the song. Zhu Yi picked up the microphone and was about to step forward, but Gu Jiuli snatched it and shoved it into He Liang's hand. The two finally got a chance to sing together. Han Yijie felt He Liang's voice sounded familiar.
Zhu Yi went up to offer Gu Jiuli a drink, but spilled the drink all over Gu Jiuli. The scene was awkward and tense. To prevent Han Yijie from recognizing He Liang's identity, Chen Yibai immediately took her away from this scene of conflict. He Liang was hungry late at night and couldn't sleep, so she went to find something to eat, only to run into Gu Jiuli, who was also hungry. He Liang generously shared her cake with him, but Gu Jiuli analyzed the nutritional components of the cake, making He Liang feel a bit guilty.
Episode 14 Recap
Gu Jiuli suggested splitting the cake in half, but unexpectedly Zhu Yi showed up at that moment, shouting that he was also hungry, and swallowed the cake in one bite. As a result, he was speechless from the spiciness of the mustard cake. He Liang and Zhu Yi returned to the villa where they were staying. Gu Jiuli became even more depressed. Han Yijie specifically brought the plan for tomorrow's team building, telling him to have a good night's sleep.
The team building activity the next day was shooting. Who knew it was also Zhu Yi's strength; it was said he had even won some competition championship. Zhu Yi suggested competing with Gu Jiuli, but Gu Jiuli was not inferior to Zhu Yi, and even beat him. Han Yijie was never worried, as Gu Jiuli's level was more than sufficient to crush others. However, Zhu Yi did not give up.
He still wanted to compete with Gu Jiuli in the next event. The two went onto the fighting platform. Han Yijie was still confident of victory; Gu Jiuli beat Zhu Yi like he was his son. As expected, Gu Jiuli easily crushed Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi was very depressed about this, and He Liang could only comfort him with medicine. Zhu Yi thought Gu Jiuli must be a domestic abuser.
He Liang also felt quite lonely inside, thinking that there wouldn't be any interaction after this trip anyway. Gu Jiuli was already planning his confession, wishing he could drown He Liang in nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. That evening was He Liang's live streaming time, but Gu Jiuli booked an outdoor restaurant, preparing to confess to He Liang at 9:09. Gu Jiuli kept calling He Liang while she was live streaming.
The helpless He Liang could only choose to temporarily block Gu Jiuli. Gu Jiuli did not give up and went to the villa to find He Liang. He Liang's live stream had not finished yet. Chen Yibai stepped forward and chased him out. Gu Jiuli was heartbroken. The next morning, Han Yijie chased after Gu Jiuli, asking about the result of his confession last night, unaware of what he had encountered.
Instead, Shi Fei and the others had witnessed Chen Yibai breaking up the pairing and advised Gu Jiuli to put some effort into pleasing Chen Yibai. After Chen Yibai and He Liang arrived, Han Yijie pulled Gu Jiuli to sit opposite them. Gu Jiuli asked He Liang what she was doing last night.
He Liang said she was on the phone with her parents, but Chen Yibai clearly said last night that He Liang was on the phone with her classmates. At this moment, Zhu Yi ran over and brought the roses Gu Jiuli had left behind last night. Gu Jiuli didn't know He Liang was allergic to roses, so he immediately stood up and threw the roses away. Zhu Yi said that Gu Jiuli harassing employees late at night had ulterior motives.
Chen Yibai also chimed in, saying that Gu Jiuli coming to see her couldn't have been for anything important, surely not a confession. Gu Jiuli, with nothing left to lose, chose to confess publicly in this scene. He Liang was flustered by the confession from the person she liked. Zhu Yi immediately jumped out to object, asking if Gu Jiuli really liked He Liang, would he have given her thirty-six points?
Gu Jiuli had long forgotten about this matter and only remembered after He Liang reminded him. Gu Jiuli had indeed seriously scored the objectively existing facts, but his liking for He Liang was also genuine. He Liang naturally couldn't refuse Gu Jiuli's confession, but Chen Yibai refused on her behalf, saying that He Liang was still young and her family didn't agree to her dating yet. Han Yijie looked helpless regarding Gu Jiuli.
He had belittled He Liang to worthlessness in front of her family; it would be strange if they agreed. Chen Yibai's attitude was clear: if Gu Jiuli couldn't learn to respect He Liang and couldn't learn to defend her in front of others, Chen Yibai would absolutely not agree to them being together. After the team building ended, Gu Jiuli was in an extremely bad mood. When he got home, Xiao Jiu prompted that the surveillance memory was full.
Only then did Gu Jiuli open the surveillance footage and saw He Liang's confession the day he was drunk. His mood suddenly brightened up. Han Yijie saw Gu Jiuli holding the surveillance device and smiling brightly, thinking he had gone mad from the setback, and was so scared he didn't dare to speak. In order to pursue He Liang, Gu Jiuli fully researched He Liang's social circle and formulated a strict plan.
Gu Jiuli listened to He Liang's favorite music all night. Han Yijie was kept awake all night by the noise and became even more convinced that Gu Jiuli had PTSD. Gu Jiuli found the drama club where He Liang was rehearsing and wanted to make a small investment to help it, but Hu Jie misunderstood, thinking Gu Jiuli wanted to spend money to pick up girls, and the target was the lead actress of the play, Panpan. Thus, this mysterious sponsorship was also attributed to Panpan.
Episode 15 Recap
Gu Jiuli's sponsorship of the drama club was misunderstood by everyone as Yang Panpan's suitor. Everyone looked gossipy, and He Liang didn't feel involved. Yang Panpan asked He Liang to help iron the clothes she would wear for the play, but He Liang couldn't resist trying them on. She was alone backstage reciting lines from Snow White. Unexpectedly, Gu Jiuli came in at this moment. He Liang slipped and almost fell face-first onto the ground.
After Gu Jiuli helped her up, Yang Panpan and the others came in at that moment. He Liang quickly explained that she was just trying them on. Yang Panpan wanted to use the opportunity to talk to Gu Jiuli, but Gu Jiuli still ignored her and only told He Liang that he was waiting for her outside. Shi Fei and Xiao C told He Liang that Gu Jiuli had become abnormal since she rejected him.
He Liang didn't know what to do when facing Gu Jiuli, who was just a step away. The teacher urged He Liang to submit her internship certificate. He Liang was afraid that Gu Jiuli might complain to the teacher, so she quickly pulled him along to get milk tea with her. The milk tea belonged to the drama club, and He Liang and Gu Jiuli were responsible for distributing it.
Yang Panpan was very happy to hear that the sponsor was Jiuqian Technology and became even more convinced that Gu Jiuli had fallen in love with her at first sight. The glass slipper was broken. Gu Jiuli ignored Yang Panpan and went to buy one with He Liang. On the way, Gu Jiuli wanted to say some heartfelt words to He Liang, but she kept interrupting him. They couldn't find the glass slipper.
Gu Jiuli took Yang Panpan to a high-end clothing store and said he would pay. He Liang heard Yang Panpan say that Gu Jiuli was pursuing her, so she believed Gu Jiuli was doing this for Yang Panpan as well. Gu Jiuli bought a pair of high heels that He Liang really liked. He Liang repeatedly refused, saying, "Aren't you afraid Yang Panpan will be jealous if you do this?
" Gu Jiuli was startled, and quickly explained that he hadn't written anything like "dedicated to the only female lead. " Then he realized He Liang was jealous and immediately recited all her preferences. From beginning to end, he had done everything for He Liang; sponsoring the drama club and coming out to buy shoes were all for He Liang. He Liang made an excuse that her family didn't agree to her dating.
Gu Jiuli asked her if she remembered what he had said when he was drunk. Now Gu Jiuli was giving her his answer: he liked He Liang. He Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, but then she was annoyed at herself for being so bad. Gu Jiuli hesitated for a moment, held her shoulders, and said, "In love, I'm a negative score. Are you willing to give me a chance?
" - - - Gu Jiuli and He Liang walked back to the drama club holding hands. Yang Panpan was thrilled wearing the expensive high heels and asked He Liang to convey a message to Gu Jiuli for her, asking him to treat everyone to a meal later. He Liang tried to explain several times, but Yang Panpan interrupted her.
He Liang could only convey the message as she heard it, but Gu Jiuli only wanted to have dinner with his girlfriend. Gu Jiuli bought He Liang the ice cream she had been eyeing. Gu Jiuli urged her to use a different form of address. He Liang was a little shy for a moment. As the two were shopping, they passed a stationery store where Gu Jiuli accidentally discovered He Liang's journal. It was filled with various nicknames for him.
He Liang was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Gu Jiuli walked He Liang to her dorm building. He originally wanted to take the opportunity for a hug and a kiss, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of her advanced math teacher. Last time Gu Jiuli had introduced himself as He Liang's uncle, so the teacher remembered him. Gu Jiuli's face turned extremely ugly.
Back in the dorm, He Liang told Yang Panpan that she and Gu Jiuli were together, but Yang Panpan thought she was joking. The next day, He Liang and Gu Jiuli were preparing for a date, but Gu Jiuli was bothered by being called "uncle. " An age-testing app was shared in the group chat. Gu Jiuli's test result was older than his actual age.
He Liang, however, was worried about looking too childish and decided to change to a more mature style, asking Chen Yibai for a lot of mature-style clothes and shoes. Gu Jiuli humbly asked Han Yijie for the secret to looking young, and as a result, he was dressed in a way that completely didn't suit his style. Gu Jiuli and He Liang met while wearing clothes that were completely unsuitable for them.
Episode 16 Recap
Gu Jiuli and He Liang were recommended a bunch of drinks on their date. Gu Jiuli very domineeringly bought all the recommendations, but he wasn't interested in them. He Liang was busy taking pictures and adjusting filters. Gu Jiuli tried hard to help her take good photos, but the results weren't very good. Gu Jiuli suggested taking a photo together.
He Liang quickly took out her beauty camera, wanting to post it on Moments, but Gu Jiuli said there was no need for that. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday was coming up soon. A colleague reminded Han Yijie to take Chen Yibai out to have some fun. Chen Yibai, however, was studying the Moments post He Liang had just shared. He Liang had told her that she was going to a shimen feast.
Both Chen Yibai and Han Yijie clearly didn't believe her. Chen Yibai confirmed that He Liang was on a date. Han Yijie immediately thought that He Liang must be meeting Gu Jiuli and quickly covered for her. Chen Yibai called to test her. Han Yijie timely came over to report, so He Liang explained that she was having coffee with a senior student. However, Chen Yibai was not that easy to fool. She took Han Yijie's phone to check.
Fortunately, Han Yijie had already deleted the chat history. He Liang was busy organizing her friends into groups. Gu Jiuli specially registered a Weibo account for He Liang. From now on, they could post their things here, and Chen Yibai wouldn't see them. Gu Jiuli saw He Liang's caption and reflexively leaned closer to her face. He Liang was a little excited, and when she suddenly stood up, she accidentally spilled coffee all over Gu Jiuli.
He Liang decided to buy Gu Jiuli a new outfit. The two walked into a trendy clothing store. Gu Jiuli was aggressively recommended a short-sleeved shirt. He Liang quietly said beside him, "Actually, suits still suit Gu Jiuli better. " The two moved on to a suit store. However, He Liang was mistaken for a real estate agent by the store assistant. He Liang felt extremely inferior. Gu Jiuli came out after changing into a suit.
He untied He Liang's hair and deliberately held her hand in front of the store assistant as they left. Gu Jiuli said that he preferred the current He Liang. He didn't want He Liang to change for him, just as He Liang didn't want him to change. He Liang wasn't used to wearing high heels. Gu Jiuli immediately ran to buy a pair of men's slippers, shattering He Liang's dreamy fantasy.
Hand in hand, the two arrived outside He Liang's door. Both gathered their courage to kiss, but ended up bumping into each other too forcefully. Gu Jiuli kissed He Liang's forehead, but saw her pouting awkwardly. Gu Jiuli was also a little unsure what to do, wondering if He Liang meant they could kiss. - - - Back home, Han Yijie gossiped about Gu Jiuli and He Liang and conveyed Chen Yibai's attitude.
Gu Jiuli quickly adopted a very good attitude to please him, hoping he would teach him about dating and kissing. It was just that for Gu Jiuli, this eternal straight man, it was still very difficult to understand these things. Jason came to the dance studio today and was very dissatisfied with He Liang's performance. Mengmeng Jiang quickly spoke up for her and afterwards told her not to take it to heart.
Gu Jiuli was going on a business trip, so he asked He Liang to come to his place for steak that night. He Liang refused because she was concerned about dance practice, but Mengmeng Jiang overheard and specifically told her to relax. Han Yijie earnestly gave Gu Jiuli some pointers, and then he ran off to meet Chen Yibai for a date. He Liang specifically brought a bouquet of flowers. Both were very nervous. As night fell, Gu Jiuli gentlemanly pulled out a chair for He Liang, and they enjoyed a candlelit dinner just for the two of them.
Episode 17 Recap
Gu Jiuli prepared a romantic candlelit dinner with Han Yijie's help. After noticing He Liang couldn't cut steak, Gu Jiuli gave her the portion he had already cut. As the two raised their glasses, someone suddenly knocked on the door. It was a delivery rider who said the packaging was damaged tonight due to the rain and asked him to check if the contents were damaged. Gu Jiuli opened it and found a very sexy outfit, feeling very embarrassed.
He quickly closed the door and explained to He Liang that it wasn't his, but Han Yijie's. It was raining heavily outside, so Chen Yibai and Han Yijie's date couldn't continue. Chen Yibai took Han Yijie home and wanted to stop by his place to use the restroom. Han Yijie's face immediately changed, and he wanted to take her to the mall next door instead, which angered Chen Yibai and made her further suspect he had some unspeakable secret.
Han Yijie ultimately chose Chen Yibai between Gu Jiuli and Chen Yibai. Without a word, he pulled her away to prove his innocence. - - - After Gu Jiuli and He Liang heard the door open, He Liang hid under the table. He had originally planned to get He Liang downstairs while Chen Yibai was in the restroom, but there wasn't enough time, so he had no choice but to hide He Liang in the room.
As soon as Chen Yibai sat down, she saw the sexy lingerie on the sofa. Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie couldn't explain it for a moment, so Han Yijie had to push the blame onto Gu Jiuli. Just as Chen Yibai was about to leave, He Liang's phone rang, and Chen Yibai instantly understood everything. He Liang facing Chen Yibai was like a mouse meeting a cat.
Gu Jiuli simply took her hand and told Chen Yibai directly that they were together, that his feelings for He Liang were genuine, and that time would prove everything. Han Yijie wanted to ease the atmosphere and suggested everyone sit down to watch TV. However, the TV happened to be showing the kissing research material Gu Jiuli had studied last time, and Chen Yibai instantly exploded.
She grabbed He Liang and walked out on the spot, not forgetting to call him a pervert. Han Yijie and Gu Jiuli both chased after them. Gu Jiuli seized the opportunity to pull He Liang out of the elevator and used the kissing tactics he had studied well.
After the first kiss, Gu Jiuli told Chen Yibai that he had never been in a relationship before, and He Liang was his first love, so he hoped Chen Yibai would give them a chance. On the way back, Chen Yibai advised He Liang to tell Gu Jiuli about her identity as A Dai, as lies would only snowball. Back at the dorm, Panpan asked He Liang for help getting into Jiuqian.
He Liang mentioned again that she was dating Gu Jiuli, but Panpan still thought she was having a one-sided crush. Panpan went to Jiuqian for an interview the next day. Hu Jie, thinking she was Gu Jiuli's beloved, agreed to hire her without hesitation, confidently believing Gu Jiuli would be very happy. On her first day of work, Panpan wore the shoes Gu Jiuli had given her.
Gu Jiuli didn't understand why and asked Hu Jie why she hired Panpan, telling Hu Jie to let her go when the time was right. During the meeting, Panpan sat in the seat closest to Gu Jiuli, which had always been Shi Fei's spot. Panpan didn't pay attention in the meeting at all. Instead, she took out her phone and took a photo of herself with Gu Jiuli to send to He Liang. Panpan drank water from Gu Jiuli's cup.
Gu Jiuli didn't tell her to wash it and threw it in the trash. However, Panpan thought he had already accepted her as one of his own. Panpan repeatedly misunderstood Gu Jiuli's intentions. Gu Jiuli only cared about He Liang, but He Liang had a live stream that night, so she refused his request to have dinner together. After work, Panpan was reluctant to leave the company. Instead, she reapplied her makeup and went into Gu Jiuli's office.
Gu Jiuli still ignored her and turned to leave. Panpan chased after him, unwilling to give up, asking for a ride. He Liang, who had just finished her live stream, immediately linked arms with Gu Jiuli to assert her claim. However, He Liang was still dressed as A Dai. As soon as they entered the elevator, Gu Jiuli pushed her away. Nevertheless, Gu Jiuli was very grateful for her help.
That evening, the two chatted on the phone for a long time, their sweet conversation full of rosy bubbles. To return early to see He Liang, Gu Jiuli even specifically shortened his business trip itinerary. A few days later, Gu Jiuli returned early and went to the school to find He Liang. She was watching Zhu Yi play basketball on the court. Facing Zhu Yi's provocation, Gu Jiuli took off his jacket, ready to meet the challenge.
Episode 18 Recap
- - - Yang Panpan saw Gu Jiuli arrive and became even more convinced he was there for her. She even took Gu Jiuli's jacket from He Liang, saying it was "returning things to their rightful owner. " Gu Jiuli and Zhu Yi's game began. He Liang felt a pang of jealousy when she heard others mistake Gu Jiuli for Yang Panpan's boyfriend, but couldn't say anything. Gu Jiuli won against Zhu Yi.
Yang Panpan immediately went forward to give him water. Gu Jiuli saw He Liang run off from the edge of the crowd and quickly clarified the misunderstanding with Yang Panpan, telling her He Liang was his girlfriend, and everything before was just a misunderstanding. He Liang was there to comfort Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi was jealous because of Gu Jiuli and pressed He Liang on who was more important, him or Gu Jiuli.
He Liang quickly explained they were different, and that Zhu Yi was like family to her. He Liang shyly told Zhu Yi that she and Gu Jiuli had gotten together last week. Zhu Yi was very unhappy upon hearing this. Gu Jiuli chased after them and took He Liang's hand to assert his claim, warning Zhu Yi that he and He Liang were just ordinary friends, and that she was now his girlfriend.
To get back at him, Zhu Yi specifically reminded He Liang about the matter on Friday. He Liang knew it was the live stream and quickly stopped him from speaking further. Gu Jiuli pressed her on what was happening on Friday. He Liang stammered that it was Zhu Yi's mother's birthday and they were just going to buy a gift and have dinner together. Gu Jiuli returned home dejected.
He was certain He Liang was hiding something from him and wasn't even in the mood when Han Yijie showed him the company team-building VCR. However, Han Yijie watched the part where He Liang sang in the VCR and thought her voice sounded very familiar. After multiple comparisons, Han Yijie finally confirmed that He Liang was A Dai. Yang Panpan and Zhu Yi, both feeling down, bumped into each other and didn't forget to exchange a few barbs.
To ease her heartbreak, Yang Panpan went to a bar and met Zhu Yi again. Although their emotions were initially intense upon meeting, the stirrings of the music and alcohol led them both to get drunk. Yang Panpan didn't understand why Gu Jiuli didn't understand her. Since she was little, she had been called a princess; everyone doted on her and liked her, but Gu Jiuli specifically liked He Liang.
Han Yijie brought a thoughtful breakfast to Chen Yibai and admitted he knew about A Dai, but he wanted to know why He Liang hadn't told Gu Jiuli about it. He Liang explained the reason. Han Yijie was, of course, on her side. He Liang also knew she couldn't keep it from Gu Jiuli forever, but she didn't know when to come clean. Gu Jiuli was depressed because He Liang was going to have dinner with Zhu Yi.
Han Yijie suggested he could tell He Liang he was sick. Gu Jiuli, unable to lie, stubbornly stood naked and let the cold wind blow on him all night, but he didn't get sick after the night passed. He Liang was learning to dance in the studio when she received a message from Gu Jiuli. The message wasn't sent by Gu Jiuli, but by Han Yijie. Han Yijie had also specifically changed Gu Jiuli's clothes to make him look listless.
But He Liang didn't come. Gu Jiuli only received the fever medicine she had ordered. In a fit of pique, Gu Jiuli ran to the hospital, but underwent a full check-up from top to bottom, and was found to be perfectly healthy in internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, and ophthalmology. When He Liang received Han Yijie's message, she thought Gu Jiuli was going to cause trouble for Zhu Yi and hurried back to school.
Episode 19 Recap
As soon as Zhu Yi returned to school, he met Gu Jiuli, who had been waiting for him for a long time. Gu Jiuli probed him. He knew nothing was going on between Zhu Yi and He Liang, but that He Liang was hiding something from him. Zhu Yi wasn't willing to talk, so Gu Jiuli threatened him physically and left triumphantly. The next day, Gu Jiuli drew a mind map of He Liang.
He thought He Liang was hiding something from him, so he wanted to understand her more. Han Yijie felt a bit guilty when he saw this, quickly packed his luggage and left for a business trip, and didn't forget to tip off He Liang. Han Yijie went to pick up Chen Yibai for a temporary business trip, but he had his own plans.
When they arrived at Moganshan, Han Yijie booked a lake-view room, but Chen Yibai was anxious about the supplier matter and couldn't relax and enjoy at all. Han Yijie rented a car to take Chen Yibai to meet the supplier. Chen Yibai was very nervous on the way, but in fact, this was just a date Han Yijie had carefully prepared, and there was no supplier at all.
Chen Yibai realized that Han Yijie had booked a couple's package on June 15th and understood that she had been tricked by Han Yijie. Her face immediately turned very unpleasant. Han Yijie returned from the restroom and was a bit awkward to find the food already served. He continued his lie. Chen Yibai was angry that he wouldn't confess and wanted to return to the hotel without eating a bite.
Han Yijie packed the food and followed Chen Yibai back to the hotel. Chen Yibai immediately started packing her luggage non-stop. Han Yijie's lie was unacceptable to her, a workaholic, while Han Yijie's reason was that he was afraid Chen Yibai wouldn't agree, which was why he came up with this method to take her out to play. The two were at a standstill. Chen Yibai suddenly received news that Old Mr.
Gong had a cerebral infarction, but it was pouring rain outside and no tickets could be booked at all. Chen Yibai was burning with anxiety and decided to drive back in the rain. Gu Jiuli suddenly called Yang Panpan to his office and asked her what kind of person she thought He Liang was. Yang Panpan answered truthfully and specifically mentioned Zhu Yi.
Yang Panpan had been looking forward to Gu Jiuli saying something to her from beginning to end, but she didn't expect Gu Jiuli to say that she could leave when her internship ended. Chen Yibai and Han Yijie hurried back to the hospital and learned that Old Mr. Gong was fine. However, the conflict between Han Yijie and Chen Yibai was still unresolved. Chen Yibai decided they should both cool down. Gu Jiuli found Chen Yibai to chat.
He hoped to understand He Liang better. It seemed everyone knew what He Liang was hiding except for him. Chen Yibai said that He Liang was afraid of losing him, which stemmed from her inner fear. Before leaving, Gu Jiuli also said a few words to Han Yijie, perhaps suggesting that what Chen Yibai liked was Han Yijie's energetic demeanor. After He Liang returned home, she was told by Chen Yibai that Gu Jiuli had been there.
Her mood was somewhat complex. Chen Yibai had already approved of Gu Jiuli. He had walked ninety-nine steps in their relationship; He Liang should also take one step forward. He Liang, dressed up by A Dai, met Gu Jiuli in the elevator. Gu Jiuli also asked A Dai for her opinion on He Liang, saying he felt like he wasn't a very qualified boyfriend and wanted to catch up.
He Liang hesitated for a long time, then told him to watch her live stream tonight, where she would tell him the answer. During the live stream, He Liang sang the song she sang during the team-building event. Gu Jiuli immediately understood everything when he heard the familiar singing voice. He Liang and A Dai's figures gradually overlapped. During the live stream, He Liang shed tears facing the screen.
She said she was in love, and that guy asked her what she was most afraid of. What she was most afraid of was that if Gu Jiuli knew this version of herself, he wouldn't love her like this anymore. Gu Jiuli gradually accepted everything in disbelief. After He Liang's live stream ended, she came to his office. She had thought Gu Jiuli wouldn't be able to forgive her deception and was even prepared for the breakup.
Episode 20 Recap
Gu Jiuli did not have any intention of breaking up. Instead, he was worried that He Liang would dislike him because of his face blindness, after all, he had never recognized that He Liang was A Dai. In Gu Jiuli's eyes, this was a bug, but He Liang did not think so. Neither of them had the idea of breaking up. Gu Jiuli held He Liang's hand.
Now he could understand what Han Yijie said, that one person could enjoy two different styles. Gu Jiuli originally wanted to take the opportunity for a passionate kiss, but He Liang's stomach rumbled. After all, she had been nervous all night and hadn't eaten anything. Gu Jiuli took He Liang home and made her food. He wanted to know why He Liang created the identity of A Dai but didn't use this identity in real life.
He Liang confessed truthfully, saying it was because her mother didn't like it. He Liang's mother was a teacher, but she only cared about grades and strongly disliked singing and dancing. He Liang was taken away by her mother in front of everyone during a performance, and since then, she hasn't dared to sing in front of others. Chen Yibai needed to sing during a live stream once, but for various reasons, He Liang replaced her.
Thus, He Liang discovered she could sing during live streams but didn't dare to let her mother know, because if she found out, everything would be gone. Gu Jiuli patted her head dotingly, indicating that He Liang could do anything she wanted with him. Since learning He Liang's identity, Gu Jiuli became a loyal fan of her live streams.
On the day of He Liang's live stream, Gu Jiuli specifically sent Shi Fei away, canceled a very important appointment, and opened He Liang's live stream to watch with a serious expression. However, He Liang's live stream room had a top fan named "Zhida", who even had the right to request the first song.
When Han Yijie arrived, he saw Gu Jiuli furiously liking the live stream with three parts depression, four parts seriousness, and twelve parts competitiveness, successfully attracting He Liang's attention. Zhu Yi told He Liang that this account belonged to her boyfriend. After the live stream ended, He Liang quickly ran to Jiuqian. Gu Jiuli's jealousy had not subsided. The two showed off their affection, and Han Yijie quickly left. Gu Jiuli pulled He Liang over and kissed her.
Their feelings were extremely ambiguous. Downstairs, A Dai's fans were waiting for her. He Liang had to dress very discreetly and leave under Gu Jiuli's cover. However, Gu Jiuli took the opportunity to join A Dai's fan group. On the way, He Liang noticed that Gu Jiuli was a bit unhappy, but she didn't want to say sorry, because both her fans and Gu Jiuli were people she loved very much.
Zhida posted a few pictures of A Dai in the fan group and the fans started teasing him. Gu Jiuli, unwilling to lose, asked He Liang for a few photos and sent them to the group, but was called a stalker. Chen Yibai still ignored Han Yijie, even refusing when Han Yijie asked her to the amusement park. Han Yijie found He Liang for help but was told that the amusement park was Chen Yibai's forbidden zone.
Han Yijie still asked He Liang and Gu Jiuli to help him trick Chen Yibai into coming to the amusement park, saying he was going to make a big move, and it would be do or die. Under Han Yijie's provocation, Chen Yibai still got on the roller coaster. After one round, Chen Yibai had no expression, while Han Yijie's legs were soft. After another ride on the Pendulum ride, Han Yijie vomited so much he couldn't stand straight.
Gu Jiuli and He Liang both spoke up for Han Yijie, stating that Han Yijie was not trying to provoke Chen Yibai. That day, He Liang had already told him the reason why Chen Yibai disliked amusement parks. It turned out that when Chen Yibai was little, her parents took her to an amusement park for a day, which was the happiest day of her life. But after that, her parents divorced and disappeared.
Chen Yibai was raised by her cousin, who was He Liang's mother. Han Yijie wanted to use happy things to cover up Chen Yibai's unhappy memories. After hearing these words, Chen Yibai turned and walked towards Han Yijie. Although Han Yijie was very uncomfortable, he was still willing to accompany Chen Yibai on the rides, because he just wanted Chen Yibai to be a little happier.
Episode 21 Recap
When Chen Yibai broke up with Zhao Dazuo, Han Yijie said he hoped that when Chen Yibai looked back on that day, it wouldn't be too bad. And now, Han Yijie felt the same way. Chen Yibai forgave Han Yijie, and the two held hands again. Since they were already at the amusement park, they couldn't just leave, so Han Yijie suggested riding the merry-go-round. However, Chen Yibai's condition was that Han Yijie and Gu Jiuli ride together.
Gu Jiuli was very resistant, but under Han Yijie's persistent begging, he reluctantly went along. There was still one month until the Qixiu Grand Ceremony, and He Liang's dance was still far from ready. Jason was very unhappy about this, but He Liang said whether it was wasted effort or not would only be known after a month. Mengmengjiang also spoke up for He Liang, but Jason's attitude was firm; giving up sooner was better for everyone.
When Gu Jiuli heard Jason say this, he was very worried about He Liang's mood. Back at school, He Liang learned that the morning run was canceled, and she finally felt relieved, as running was her most hated activity. The next morning, He Liang was still sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by the dormitory supervisor, who said someone was waiting for her downstairs.
He Liang thought it was the breakfast she ordered last night, and she ran downstairs in her pajamas, only to find it was Gu Jiuli. Gu Jiuli brought He Liang a set of sportswear. He had devised a plan for He Liang to improve her physical strength and breath control. He Liang used the excuse that she was physically uncomfortable, but Gu Jiuli refuted her. He Liang reluctantly followed Gu Jiuli for a run.
Running eight hundred meters nearly killed her, and this was just the beginning. Gu Jiuli accompanied He Liang day after day to improve her physical strength, but He Liang's body also couldn't quite keep up. Yang Panpan and Zhu Yi saw this and added fuel to the fire, saying that Gu Jiuli shouldn't do this. To help He Liang, Zhu Yi even put her sports watch on himself.
Yang Panpan immediately called Gu Jiuli when she saw this, but Gu Jiuli didn't answer. Zhu Yi completed the plan for He Liang and didn't forget to say a few bad things about Gu Jiuli, but He Liang also understood that Gu Jiuli was doing it for her own good. The next second, Gu Jiuli appeared behind He Liang. Zhu Yi's level was something He Liang couldn't possibly achieve.
When this matter was exposed, He Liang was in a bad mood and said angrily that she wouldn't run anymore and he didn't need to help her anymore, as this was not the way she wanted their relationship to be. Last time at the mall, Gu Jiuli could have easily carried her, and others would try everything to prevent their girlfriends from suffering even a little, but for her, it was running!
Gu Jiuli patiently told her that love is about two people progressing together. He Liang didn't like running, but she wanted to prove herself at the Qixiu Grand Ceremony, and these two things could not be had at the same time. Xiao Jiu was listed, and just as Gu Jiuli and Mr. /CEO Ma were about to sign the contract, a piece of bad news about Xiao Jiu suddenly broke, and the financing plan had to be postponed.
Reports such as "AI Disrupts Families" caused Jiuqian to fall into public opinion turmoil, and the trickery behind it was done by Weixiao Technology. Friends advised Gu Jiuli not to respond, after all, a PR battle might not be won against Weixiao Technology. The company's cash flow was tight, and Gu Jiuli was also very troubled and depressed. Han Yijie was equally worried. Han Yijie looked everywhere for investment for Gu Jiuli but repeatedly hit a wall.
Chen Yibai saw this and immediately introduced him to a senior who was in investment. However, she didn't expect the person who came to be Zhao Dazuo. He acted arrogantly towards them, and Chen Yibai was very displeased, but Han Yijie chose to swallow his pride for the investment. Chen Yibai finally couldn't hold back; Zhao Dazuo wasn't there to invest but to cause trouble. Chen Yibai almost picked up a cup toæ³¼ him, but Han Yijie stopped her.
Han Yijie was not discouraged either; Xiao Jiu was a hot potato now, and he was mentally prepared. He Liang's physical strength improved significantly with Gu Jiuli's help, and her dance finally reached the required standard. However, Jason adjusted the stage, canceling the high notes He Liang was good at and adding high-difficulty moves. This made it impossible for He Liang to have any distinguishing features.
Episode 22 Recap
He Liang went downstairs to buy bread and accidentally met Gu Jiuli talking with people from the Huashi Group. Han Yijie called and said someone had dug up the relationship between Huashi and Jiuqian, and Huashi was still affected. Han Yijie was a bit worried about Gu Jiuli, as it now involved his parents' former company, and he must be feeling bad.
He Liang quickly stepped forward and asked Gu Jiuli to go out with her tonight, maybe relaxing would lead to good ideas. He Liang took Gu Jiuli to a stress-relief center to help him relieve pressure. However, the two of them stayed in the screaming room for too long and almost caused a complaint. Afterward, the two went to play a pillow fight together. With He Liang accompanying him, Gu Jiuli's brows finally relaxed a lot.
Xiao Jiu had affected Huashi, so he had to stop it; even if it continued in the future, it would no longer be a companion robot. Gu Jiuli told He Liang that he was lonely and rebellious as a child, and his parents couldn't be with him during his growth, so Gu Jiuli deliberately did many rebellious things to attract their attention.
Before they went on a business trip, they said they would eat together, but Gu Jiuli ran off without looking back. Actually, he really wanted to tell them that he loved them very much. But it was during that business trip that his parents died in a car accident. Gu Jiuli regretted it very much, wishing he could have taken a step forward and held their hands that day.
For Gu Jiuli, Xiao Jiu was a form of compensation, but perhaps this compensation was too extravagant. Even if Xiao Jiu succeeded, it couldn't speak his true feelings on his behalf, could it? Hearing this, He Liang suddenly had an idea. Gu Jiuli decided to add an emotion translation function to Xiao Jiu. In Han Yijie's opinion, this was simply a fantasy, but Gu Jiuli did not give up. Everyone at Jiuqian worked together.
He Liang had also been helping Xiao Jiu go out to take photos; although it was tiring, she was also very happy. Gu Jiuli finally did it. The emotion translation function played a significant role in the experimental kindergarten. A large education company decided to purchase it. Jiuqian Technology's reputation reversed, and it came back to life. Gu Jiuli stuck to his original intention, while He Liang decided to withdraw from the Qixiu Grand Ceremony.
---- Gu Jiuli was at a dinner party and was anxious when he received the news that He Liang had withdrawn from the Qixiu Grand Ceremony. Gu Jiuli worried that He Liang withdrew from the Qixiu Grand Ceremony because of him. Although it was indeed partly because of him, it was also because of this matter that He Liang understood the importance of sticking to her original intention.
What she had always liked was not singing and dancing, but singing, and she had been feeling very lost during this time. It was after this incident that she saw her original intention clearly. In the eyes of He Liang's fans, it was because He Liang was head over heels in love with a young man and gave up the Qixiu Grand Ceremony. They even dug up the couple's secondary Weibo accounts and called Gu Jiuli a typical young man.
Gu Jiuli was not convinced, so he took He Liang to the dessert shop they went to last time, ordered a whole bunch of things, took photos to show off their affection, and posted them on Weibo. To make himself look a bit younger, Gu Jiuli specially bought a face mask. When He Liang arrived, she saw Gu Jiuli wearing an anti-aging mask and even a little rabbit hairband.
He Liang was very happy and teased Gu Jiuli for a while. But Gu Jiuli put her on the sink counter and kissed her for a long time. He Liang prepared plenty of ingredients and was going to make a chiffon cake for Gu Jiuli. Today was their 100-day anniversary. He Liang didn't bring an electronic scale, but luckily she had Gu Jiuli, her human scale.
Gu Jiuli wanted to order takeout many times, but He Liang insisted on making a cake herself. Gu Jiuli could only help her whip the egg whites manually. After Han Yijie came home, Gu Jiuli handed this difficult task over to him.
Episode 23 Recap
Although He Liang worked very hard, she still messed up the cake. He Liang was very depressed about this, but Gu Jiuli still took photos and posted them on Weibo. In fact, He Liang showed Gu Jiuli her true self today, and this was Gu Jiuli's biggest gift. At the launch ceremony, Han Yijie and Chen Yibai attended with Old Man Gong.
Old Man Gong greatly approved of Chen Yibai's efforts in the project and even wanted to introduce someone to Chen Yibai, but he got the wrong person and messed up the matchmaking. Han Yijie wanted to confess his relationship with Chen Yibai many times but didn't get the chance. Seeing that he was not very happy, Chen Yibai quietly held his hand, unaware that a hidden camera had captured the intimate scene of the two.
Suddenly there was news in the fan group saying that He Liang's boyfriend had been caught red-handed cheating. Gu Jiuli looked puzzled and could only follow them. He didn't expect Han Yijie and Chen Yibai's date spot to be here too. Han Yijie was planning to propose to Chen Yibai here. Seeing Gu Jiuli wandering around by himself with a camera, he found it strange. He didn't expect the fans to mistake Han Yijie for He Liang's boyfriend.
Gu Jiuli quickly notified He Liang to come and find him as A Dai to clarify this misunderstanding. Han Yijie and Chen Yibai were sitting on the carousel together when suddenly the power went out. As everyone looked confused, Han Yijie confessed his feelings to Chen Yibai. Today was the ninetieth day since they met, and also the time when Chen Yibai's "seasonal boyfriend" curse would appear.
Han Yijie took out a diamond ring and made a romantic proposal to Chen Yibai. But the romantic scene didn't happen; instead, the fans surrounded him and accused Han Yijie of being a scumbag. Fortunately, He Liang arrived in time to clarify. The carousel system was hacked. Gu Jiuli sat in front of the computer and easily restored the program with a few clicks. After the misunderstanding, the four of them had dinner together.
Han Yijie and Chen Yibai were sweet as honey after the proposal, and Han Yijie even acted like a brother-in-law towards Gu Jiuli. He Liang had graduated and asked Gu Jiuli to help her move dorm tomorrow. However, the next day, He Liang was in a very bad mood because she couldn't let go of the Qixiu Grand Ceremony matter.
Gu Jiuli could tell that He Liang wanted to go back, but He Liang said the problem wasn't there at all. She felt that she wasn't capable and would mess things up and drag Mengmengjiang down. He Liang had been just an ordinary person since childhood. Whether it was exams or running, she couldn't even meet half of her mother's requirements. Singing was her only lifeline.
She was afraid that this "try" would really mess up the stage, and then she would have nothing. Back in the dorm, He Liang absentmindedly watched Panpan pack her things. Panpan said she was going to Beijing, but He Liang didn't react much. Panpan hoped He Liang would share this information with Zhu Yi. Although He Liang was confused, she still did so. Sure enough, Zhu Yi arrived shortly after, using He Liang's name to persuade her to stay.
Only then did He Liang realize the little scheme between the two of them. Early in the morning, He Liang suddenly received a phone call. She had already arrived at the train station and would reach Chen Yibai's place in half an hour. He Liang rushed to Chen Yibai's house to put away everything related to A Dai.
Both of them were very nervous facing He Liang's mother, especially He Liang, who was afraid her mother would find out about A Dai. He Liang's mother scolded Chen Yibai, then turned to question He Liang about having a boyfriend. Chen Yibai quickly stated that he was a good and reliable person.
Afterwards, she informed Gu Jiuli to come to her place for dinner tomorrow, giving Gu Jiuli a friendly reminder that He Liang's mother was a difficult person to handle. The next day, Chen Yibai and He Liang tried everything they could to eat at a restaurant, but He Liang's mother confidently bought a bunch of groceries and wanted to cook herself, which scared the two of them quite a bit.
Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
He Liang and Chen Yibai told Gu Jiuli that He Liang's mother was going to cook personally today, but she was a queen of dark cuisine. However, it was Gu Jiuli's first time meeting his future mother-in-law today, so even if the food was difficult to eat, he had to swallow it with a smile. In short, it was four words: "good luck to yourself".
Gu Jiuli and Han Yijie were extremely nervous facing He Liang's mother, who had been a disciplinarian for over thirty years, after all, she exuded a sense of pressure. During dinner, Han Yijie had his first bite and wore an inexpressible look. Unexpectedly, Gu Jiuli tricked him at this moment, and then frantically stuffed the food made by He Liang's mother into his mouth, along with a wave of compliments.
He Liang's mother's eyes instantly lit up, and she quickly told Gu Jiuli to change his address to 'Auntie'. The gift Gu Jiuli gave to He Liang's mother was even more thoughtful, an air-purifying mask, considering that He Liang's mother inhaled a large amount of chalk dust during classes, reducing the probability of getting respiratory diseases. The second gift was Gu Jiuli listing the reasons why he and He Liang were compatible, leveraging his own advantages.
However, upon opening it, they found it contained Gu Jiuli's bachelor's degree certificate, a copy of his ID card, and even a housing contract. He Liang's mother was slightly displeased seeing that Gu Jiuli was a full ten years older than He Liang. Gu Jiuli quickly and sincerely said that he would eat more healthy vegetables and exercise more, striving to die later than He Liang and take care of her in her old age.
Chen Yibai was sweating for Gu Jiuli, but unexpectedly He Liang's mother was very satisfied, because her biggest regret was that her husband was four years younger than her, and she had to take care of him in life. Now it was good, He Liang would not repeat her own mistakes. He Liang's mother nodded at Gu Jiuli; Gu Jiuli had successfully passed the test.
In the evening, He Liang's mother earnestly urged her to get along well with Gu Jiuli and not lose her temper easily, but she was also a little reluctant. Late at night, He Liang tossed and turned, unsure if she should withdraw from the Qixiu Grand Ceremony. The four of them accompanied He Liang's mother on a trip around Shanghai.
During dinner, Gu Jiuli noticed He Liang staring blankly at the Qixiu advertisement on the large screen and knew that she still longed for that stage. Gu Jiuli didn't want He Liang to keep avoiding it; could she really bear to let A Dai disappear from her life? Ultimately, He Liang decided to face everyone as He Liang. For A Dai's first comeback live stream, her friends were all cheering for her.
Gu Jiuli brought He Liang's mother to the control room. This was what He Liang wanted her to see, and also what He Liang's mother needed to face. In this live stream, He Liang gave everyone a special performance: removing her mask as He Liang. Before the age of eighteen, she was always the quiet and obedient good child He Liang. Later, at night, she would become Sister A Dai in the live stream room.
The two personalities of He Liang and A Dai alternated in He Liang's life; she couldn't even tell which one was herself. She was He Liang, but she didn't want to be He Liang. She was timid and insecure, and only gained popularity as A Dai, until Gu Jiuli appeared. He told He Liang that she could also be liked by everyone without being A Dai. Today, He Liang was confessing to everyone, but also to herself.
Now, she liked both He Liang and A Dai. At the same time, He Liang also decided to continue participating in the Qixiu Grand Ceremony. He Liang's mother, who had been watching all this in the control room, shed tears. After the live stream ended, He Liang was still extremely nervous seeing her mother. He Liang's mother told her to delete all her accounts, quit this industry, and become a kindergarten teacher, which is what she should do.
He Liang refused, saying this was what she liked to do. He Liang's mother left with mixed feelings. Gu Jiuli told He Liang not to worry, as he had seen He Liang's mother cry. But when they got home, He Liang's mother was packing her things and telling He Liang to go back home with her, saying it would be good to be a stable teacher with a position. He Liang still chose to refuse.
This time, she wanted to do what she wanted to do. Although He Liang's mother didn't force her, it didn't mean she accepted He Liang's choice. He Liang's mother left with her suitcase, and He Liang quickly chased after her. All along, she had lived the life arranged by her mother. Although these things were good, they were not what she wanted, so she lived an ordinary life. Becoming A Dai was something He Liang would not regret. She had grown up and could be responsible for her own life!
