> Resumos de About Love
Gong visited Li Xiaoxi at her café, where the two shared a quiet conversation about their current lives. Xiaoxi presented Gong with a special membership card, explaining that his coffee would be on the house from now on as a gesture of gratitude for his previous help. Gong accepted the gift and shared the premise of his latest story: a demon named Ximei who marries a kind human, Prince Beiye.
In the tale, Ximei sacrifices her demon identity and her memories to be worthy of the prince, yet her heart eventually awakens to an irrepressible longing for a demon envoy named Shou Gongyuan. Gong wondered if he could find a sense of fulfillment through his own creations, but Xiaoxi gently reminded him that a story, no matter how moving, remains separate from reality. At his studio, Xiu was interrupted by a small dog that had wandered inside.
While he found the pup adorable and intended to return it to its owner, Yu arrived and revealed that she had bought the dog specifically for him. The gesture revived a long-standing tension in their marriage; before they wed, Xiu had dreamed of owning a Corgi or a French Bulldog, but Yu had always refused, citing their unstable finances and the lack of time to raise a pet, which she equated to the responsibility of raising a child.
Instead of bringing them closer, the arrival of the dog sparked a bitter argument. Xiu felt he was being unfairly treated as immature, while Yu listed the many promises he had failed to keep, from annual vacations to anniversary surprises. She expressed her exhaustion over their constant financial struggles, complaining that after paying the mortgage and utility bills, she could barely afford decent clothes and felt ashamed in front of her colleagues.
Yu criticized Xiu for refusing to teach piano classes and focusing instead on music that didn't sell. In a fit of rage, Xiu suggested she should have married the wealthy Dahua as her mother wanted. The comment left Yu in tears, and Xiu eventually apologized, promising to work harder and distance himself from his "bad influences." Later, while the couple was out buying food for their new dog, Yu noticed how familiar Xiu was with the pet shop owner.
Xiu admitted that since they didn't have a dog at home, he often frequented the shop just to play with the animals there. During the outing, Xiao Bei called to invite Xiu to a dinner hosted by the usually frugal Da Sen at a restaurant called Linglong. Though Xiu was hesitant, Yu insisted they attend together. Meanwhile, Gong, Xiao Bei, and Xiaoxi drove to the restaurant.
Gong joked that they looked like a family of three with a "silly son" in the back, though Xiao Bei told him to stop with the inappropriate jokes. Luan Luan arrived at Linglong early with her dog, Baobao, having just come from a grooming appointment. When Xiu arrived with Yu and realized the situation, he grew desperate to avoid a confrontation.
He made an excuse to buy cigarettes and used the opportunity to record Yu’s voice, sending the audio to Luan Luan as a covert warning. Realizing Yu was there, Luan Luan tried to flee, but Gong stopped her at the door, insisting that since she was the first to arrive, she had no reason to leave.
Xiaoxi watched the scene unfold with a sense of guilt; she had always taken pride in helping women see the truth, but now she felt like a hypocrite for helping Xiu hide his deception from his wife. When the group finally sat down, the atmosphere was strained. Xiao Bei introduced Xiaoxi as his girlfriend. Gong then mischievously introduced Luan Luan as Xiu’s "lover."
While Xiu was visibly shaken, Yu laughed it off, assuming it was just another of Gong's tasteless jokes. Gong quickly pivoted, claiming Luan Luan actually had a boyfriend whom they all found selfish and unattractive, yet she loved him anyway. Unaware of the truth, Yu even suggested that Luan Luan should bring her boyfriend to their next gathering so they could treat him to dinner.
During the meal, the women discussed their careers, with Yu mentioning her work in fashion design, Xiaoxi talking about her flower shop, Liang, and Luan Luan explaining her life as a stage actress. The conversation eventually turned toward the future of the couples. Xiao Bei admitted he wasn't in a hurry to marry, wanting his future wife to fully understand him first.
Xiaoxi reflected on her own efforts to bridge the gap in her relationship, mentioning how she had even tried to like cilantro for Xiao Bei’s sake. Da Sen then made a major announcement, revealing that he had officially entered a relationship after pursuing the same girl for seven years. Gong was skeptical, advising Da Sen to be cautious with his first love, but Xiaoxi argued that true love required going all-in without reservations. Da Sen explained that his new girlfriend was currently getting ready and would be joining the dinner shortly.
