> Resumos de I Cannot Hug You Season 2
Shihuan found Xin Ba, who was distraught and in tears, and offered him some wine. Shihuan suggested that if reporters were to photograph Xin Ba with swollen eyes, he could simply claim to have had too much to drink. Xin Ba took the glass and drank it down, lamenting that what he once thought was noble—loving someone without expecting anything in return—was actually just a pretense because he was unable to get any reciprocation.
He reflected on his feelings, likening himself to a naive high school student for persistently pursuing something that clearly wasn't his. Xin Ba argued that anyone who claims not to expect anything in return for their love is a liar, as they only pretend to be magnanimous because they receive nothing. He longed for the simple words, "I like you, too," not just "sorry" or "next time."
Shihuan acknowledged that some people hope for a return when they like someone, while others are like raindrops falling into the ocean, knowing from the start that their love will never be returned. Xin Ba, still hurting, requested another drink. Inside the hall, a middle-aged man, claiming to be a devoted reader, pestered Jiang Zhihao for an autograph. Jiang Zhihao, his thoughts consumed by Li Shiya, distractedly agreed.
As the man made an excuse to look for his books, the hall lights suddenly plunged into darkness. An announcement over the loudspeaker assured everyone not to panic, stating that candles would be lit soon. Jiang Zhihao's immediate concern was for Li Shiya's safety, and he called out her name, trying to find her. However, the fan, who had claimed night blindness, suddenly grabbed Jiang Zhihao's neck.
He furiously demanded that Jiang Zhihao rewrite his novel to bring the gentle and beautiful female protagonist, Chen Qi, back to life. Jiang Zhihao tried to explain it was only a novel, but the fan, calling him a killer for ending the character's life, became increasingly frenzied and threatened Jiang Zhihao's life if he refused. Sensing Jiang Zhihao's peril, Li Shiya bravely rushed forward to save him.
After the ordeal, she asked if he was alright, and he reassured her he was fine before she led him away. Shortly after, the lights were restored, and the announcer apologized for the disruption, hoping the banquet would continue with a romantic ambiance. Junxiu later reported to Cui Junhe about his findings regarding Li Shiya. He revealed that Li Shiya had previously been kidnapped by a Professor Chen, a mad scientist who experimented on vampires.
By bribing prison staff, Junxiu had learned from Professor Chen that Li Shiya's blood was distinctly different from that of other high-level vampires; her energy was even more potent than Cui Junhe's. Furthermore, she possessed a unique gene that allowed a high-level vampire to transfer powers to others. Cui Junhe, deep in thought, instructed Junxiu to find a way to get Professor Chen out of prison, arranging for a meeting.
Seated on a garden bench, Li Shiya finally stopped concealing her true feelings. She told Jiang Zhihao that she understood his pain because she also felt it, and she decided to tell him the reason for leaving him. Jiang Zhihao then expressed his understanding of her torment during their separation, acknowledging that she was experiencing similar pain.
He confessed his dislike for the hypocritical social gatherings but explained his persistence in attending, driven by the belief that she still loved him. He offered to wait as long as it took for her to reveal her reasons, even proposing daily meetings at midnight, the time when Cinderella left her prince. Li Shiya, acknowledging his romantic but slightly drunken analogy, finally decided to tell him the truth.
Using the Cinderella metaphor, she confessed that the person he knew was not her complete self. She explained that she was not a normal vampire, a fact she had only recently discovered, and unlike other vampires, she couldn't risk a romantic relationship with a human. If she lost control of her emotions, she could accidentally kill the person she loved.
Jiang Zhihao immediately understood, realizing that her previous attempts to push him away and claim she didn't love him were out of fear of harming him. When he directly asked if she liked him, Li Shiya, with deep sincerity, confessed that she liked him very much. Relief washed over Jiang Zhihao, and he kissed her passionately. Li Shiya quickly pushed him away and slapped him, urging him to be rational and reminding him of the danger.
Jiang Zhihao, however, remained resolute, proclaiming his willingness to face death if it meant being with her, as his daily life without her felt no different from death. Li Shiya, still worried for his safety, pleaded with him to consider finding a normal human girl who wouldn't bring him danger. But Jiang Zhihao refused, confident that knowing her true feelings and his own heart would enable him to manage the risks.
He then pulled out a pair of gloves, suggesting that if a layer of fabric separated them, she wouldn't be able to absorb his energy. He asked if they could hold hands this way, proposing to slowly test the limits to find a safe "critical point" for their physical interactions. With tearful declarations, they both expressed how much they missed each other, reaffirming their commitment to overcoming these challenges together.
As Xin Ba helped a heavily intoxicated Shihuan leave the banquet, he saw Jiang Zhihao and Li Shiya engaged in an intimate embrace. His heart twisted with pain. Cui Junhe quietly approached Xin Ba, observing his sadness and pointedly asking about his feelings on seeing Li Shiya kiss a human. Xin Ba, angered by Cui Junhe's mocking tone, retorted fiercely, threatening physical harm if Cui Junhe continued to provoke him.
Cui Junhe, unfazed, calmly offered advice, brushing off Xin Ba's sarcasm about his "mystifying" activities. He assured Xin Ba that his suggestion would be beneficial and that he believed Xin Ba would eventually seek him out, expressing his patience. Later, Xin Ba was consumed by an inner monologue, reflecting on the crushing loss of his first love and the hope she represented.
He realized that the hope might have been non-existent all along, leaving him with a mix of anger, discontent, and profound sadness. He felt he had lost Li Shiya forever and, with her, the imagined future they could have shared, returning him to the feeling of abandonment he experienced as an orphan. Junxiu approached Jiang Zhihao and Li Shiya, offering to drive them home since they had both consumed some wine.
On the drive, Li Shiya earnestly asked Jiang Zhihao to reconsider his decision, emphasizing the immense difficulty of being with someone you love yet constantly restraining physical contact. Jiang Zhihao remained steadfast, asserting that while it would be challenging to assimilate into her world and face the inherent dangers, the pain of losing her was far greater.
Li Shiya, though still hesitant, was moved by his unwavering resolve and stopped him from touching her to avoid any risks before they fully understood them. After dropping them off, Junxiu reported back to Cui Junhe, noting the strong bond between Li Shiya and Jiang Zhihao. Cui Junhe, however, expressed his uncertainties: he questioned the truth of the legend itself, Li Shiya's willingness to willingly give her power, and the ultimate success rate of using that energy to revive Youyou.
He admitted the risk was high, but stressed that if they succeeded in harnessing Li Shiya's power to resurrect Youyou, it would mean everything to him, even if his own world became irrelevant thereafter. Junxiu then tried to mention Cheng Meiyou, subtly suggesting that Cui Junhe seemed to smile more since her appearance and that he should consider moving past his previous loss with her.
Cui Junhe quickly cut him off, denying any affection for Cheng Meiyou and claiming she gave him headaches, preferring not to see her. He dismissed the earlier encounter during the blackout as a simple accident due to her night blindness, implying she merely grabbed him when she couldn't see. At Jiang Zhihao's home, he asked Li Shiya if she had noticed any strange occurrences recently.
She replied that while there was nothing strange, she felt unlucky and remained concerned about his safety after her recent kidnapping. Li Shiya warned Jiang Zhihao against impulsiveness when he instinctively tried to get close without wearing gloves, reminding him of the dangers and their agreement to test things slowly. Jiang Zhihao argued that previous embraces and kisses had only resulted in him fainting, but Li Shiya firmly stated that "before was before" and now they must establish clear boundaries.
She laid out strict rules: he must maintain a one-meter distance, bring a blanket to movies, wear gloves while eating, cover all skin except his eyes, including a year-round scarf, face mask, and hat. When Jiang Zhihao tried to suggest that holding hands might be safe and he wanted to gradually test the limits, Li Shiya put a stop to it, saying they would discuss it another time.
Yet, the anguish of being so close but unable to touch was too much for Jiang Zhihao, and he pulled her into a tight embrace, pleading for just one minute to see if anything would happen.
