Since I Met U Episode 9 Recap
> Since I Met U Recap
Jiang Sihan, feeling dizzy after drinking, refused to get into a car, so Cheng Mu had no choice but to carry her on his back. As they walked, Jiang Sihan mumbled that Sweet Grandmaster liked her and that she had found ironclad proof, thereby exposing Cheng Mu's secret. Cheng Mu then asked if she liked him back, but she fell fast asleep before he could get an answer.
Meanwhile, Li Jingyang affectionately declared his joy that Cheng Yu had finally accepted him as her girlfriend. Cheng Yu, despite their intimate moments, reminded him to keep their relationship a secret, especially from her brother, Cheng Mu. She explained that Cheng Mu always got upset when she started dating, and she didn't want him to feel abandoned. Li Jingyang, acknowledging he was still in a "probation period," eagerly agreed to follow her instructions.
On another occasion, Cheng Mu and Jiang Sihan took Rui Rui out. While at the supermarket, a girl approached Cheng Mu, asking if he played Honor of King and suggesting they add each other on WeChat. Just then, Rui Rui cleverly called Cheng Mu "Dad," causing the girl to quickly retreat. Observing Cheng Mu's continued popularity, Jiang Sihan remarked on how attractive he was and playfully lamented that she was "destined to be alone" due to her lack of courage.
She then gave Cheng Mu her hair tie, calling it a "great protection tool," urging him to wear it on his wrist to ward off admirers. Jiang Sihan received a message about Rui Rui. His school was starting soon, and someone would be picking him up in a week, meaning he couldn't stay with Cheng Mu and Jiang Sihan any longer.
Feeling a potential shift in her living arrangements and the need for more financial stability, Jiang Sihan asked Cheng Mu if she could learn how to make desserts from him. She explained her plan to open a new segment to teach her fans. Cheng Mu readily agreed, often allowing his dessert shop employees to leave work early afterward. At the dessert shop, a new product called "Sunshine Rose" was well-received, but "Miss Moon" remained the most popular.
There was a suggestion to increase the daily supply of "Miss Moon," but Cheng Mu firmly rejected it. He explained that "Miss Moon" was made fresh daily, and increasing production by freezing would compromise its taste. He stressed that reputation was paramount and every customer deserved the freshest, best quality dessert. He then announced that their shop had reclaimed its spot as the city's top popular dessert destination, and in appreciation for everyone's hard work, he dismissed them early.
His employees speculated that their boss was likely busy pursuing Jiang Sihan. Han Xianglan, a frequent visitor to the dessert shop, nearly fell from a sofa while taking pictures, but Jian Yihang swiftly caught her. Impressed by his handsomeness, she declared that he had saved her and she needed to repay him. Later, she approached Jian Yihang again, stating that she no longer liked Cheng Mu but had developed feelings for him instead.
Despite his protests, she insisted he was now her boyfriend and made him carry her bags. Other staff members noticed her new pursuit, commenting on Jian Yihang's appeal and musing that he would soon fall for her. One employee, however, stated that their boss, Cheng Mu, only had eyes for desserts and that not just anyone could enter his kitchen, implicitly suggesting that Jiang Sihan was already special to him.
Meanwhile, Li Jingyang, ever enthusiastic, brought a banner listing "100 things couples must do," intending to complete them all with Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu found it childish but secretly enjoyed his antics. Their playful banter was interrupted by an unexpected visit from Cheng Mu. Cheng Yu quickly hid the banner and a package from Li Jingyang.
She then pulled out a scented candle from the package and gave it to Cheng Mu, encouraging him to take action and confess his feelings to "Taro," a nickname used for Jiang Sihan. Cheng Yu also shared her personal insight with Cheng Mu, saying he might not be good at expressing himself but that he treated Jiang Sihan differently and encouraged him not to give up.
Later that evening, after Rui Rui had fallen asleep, Cheng Mu lit numerous pink scented candles, creating a romantic ambiance. He suggested they watch a movie, perhaps a romantic one, while nervously fumbling over his words. Jiang Sihan noticed the candles and his demeanor, immediately wondering if he was about to confess. As she contemplated moving closer, Rui Rui suddenly cried out, waking from a nightmare.
He tearfully recounted dreaming that his parents were gone and that they didn't want him, believing he was a burden. Cheng Mu and Jiang Sihan immediately comforted him, assuring him it was just a bad dream and that his parents loved him dearly.
