Sweet Teeth Episode 9 Recap
> Sweet Teeth Recap
Sheng Ming had been ignoring Ma Yiyi, who repeatedly talked to Wu Ying and Zeng Li about this, constantly wondering why. Zeng Li was worried about Ai Jingchu because of what happened last night. She sent him several messages, but he didn't reply, and Zeng Li also started muttering to herself. Wu Ying and Ma Yiyi pressed her about her relationship with Ai Jingchu and whether Ai Jingchu liked Zeng Li. Zeng Li stammered, saying she didn't know.
She felt that an ordinary person like her wasn't good enough for him. Wu Ying and Ma Yiyi told her not to worry about what Ai Jingchu thought, but what Zeng Li thought was important. A friend told Liu Yucheng he still needed a wingman, so Liu Yucheng went to ask Ai Jingchu to be his wingman tomorrow night. He was planning to confess to the person he liked.
He praised Ai Jingchu, saying that since he was so honest, she would definitely believe him! Ai Jingchu worried that being a third wheel wasn't appropriate. Liu Yucheng said he could bring Zeng Li along, after all, the whole world knew he liked her. Ai Jingchu awkwardly agreed. As soon as Ai Jingchu finished class, he replied to Zeng Li's WeChat, told her about Liu Yucheng's situation, and invited her to spend New Year's Eve together tomorrow night.
Zeng Li refused, saying that she had always spent New Year's Eve with her two best friends before, and she probably would this year too. Deng Haoran announced in the group chat that he was starting a relationship. The three of them were too lazy to pay attention; it wasn't news that he was dating.
When asked about their New Year's Eve plans, Ma Yiyi had a New Year's Eve live stream, and Wu Ying chose gaming between the season and her sisters. Zeng Li felt a bit depressed and decided to go spend New Year's Eve with Ai Jingchu. The next day, Ai Jingchu and Zeng Li took pictures at the entrance of the amusement park, only to find out that the person Liu Yucheng had invited was Wu Ying.
Zeng Li and Wu Ying, these "plastic sisters," teased each other, while Ai Jingchu and Liu Yucheng were also surprised they knew each other. Zeng Li and Wu Ying both really liked the Alaska doll. It required three grand prizes to catch, so Ai Jingchu and Liu Yucheng decided to have a competition. Zeng Li naturally rooted for Ai Jingchu to win, and Wu Ying also patted Liu Yucheng's shoulder, repeatedly cheering, "Our Liu Yucheng!"
Liu Yucheng's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. Liu Yucheng and Ai Jingchu both failed at archery. Zeng Li and Wu Ying stepped up and successfully got the Alaska doll. After all, they were the champion and runner-up respectively in the East Lake University Archery Competition that year. Sheng Ming watched Ma Yiyi's New Year's Eve live stream while working overtime.
After Ma Yiyi stopped the live stream because of a stomachache, Sheng Ming quickly called her and said he was coming to find her. Before Sheng Ming arrived, Deng Haoran beat him to it and took Ma Yiyi to the hospital. Ai Jingchu and Zeng Li, along with Liu Yucheng and Wu Ying, went to ride the pirate ship.
They heard a rumor that if you shout out the name of the person you like at midnight, you can be together. On the thrilling pirate ship, everyone welcomed the New Year together. Ai Jingchu's confession was drowned out by Liu Yucheng's voice, making him feel a little helpless. Ma Yiyi had appendicitis, but luckily it wasn't serious. The nurse thought Deng Haoran was her boyfriend, but Sheng Ming arrived the next second. Deng Haoran, with good sense, left.
Ma Yiyi asked why he suddenly disappeared after dinner last time, pressing him on whether he liked her or not. Sheng Ming said he was just a programmer from a small company, with no car or house, and he was worried he wasn't good enough for Ma Yiyi. Ma Yiyi quickly started explaining that she didn't care about cars or houses. Sheng Ming kissed her cheek. Just as their heartbeats increased, Deng Haoran returned inappropriately.
Seeing this scene, he scolded Ma Yiyi, but unexpectedly, Ma Yiyi accepted Sheng Ming's confession on the spot. Zeng Li kept thinking about what Ai Jingchu said on the pirate ship. Did he say "I like you"? The next day, Ai Jingchu gave Zeng Li a better-looking bite splint, saying it was a gift from the manufacturer.
Asking about Ma Yiyi's condition, Zeng Li said it was lucky Wu Ying wasn't there, otherwise she would have insisted on cutting out her appendix. Ai Jingchu drove Zeng Li home after work. Zeng Li nervously asked him if this bite splint was really from the manufacturer. Zeng Li answered carefully, "Yes." But Zhou Wen and the others said no manufacturers had come recently to promote anything. Zeng Li was a bit stunned.
As Zeng Li got out of the car, she ran into her mother. Her mother angrily asked her if it was because that dentist had slighted Gu Donghai. Zeng Li repeatedly emphasized that Ai Jingchu wasn't her boyfriend and that he had no feelings for Gu Donghai. But Uncle Peng no longer had a chance to be formally hired. Her mother felt that Zeng Li wasn't thinking of them and even slapped her.
Her mother asked herself if she had ever treated her as a burden all these years through hardships, yet Zeng Li was starting to dislike her? Her mother cried and ran out. Zeng Li quickly chased after her. Ai Jingchu hadn't left yet. Seeing the blood on Zeng Li's lip, he quickly went to buy medicine. Ai Jingchu held an ice pop to ice Zeng Li's lip and asked if their mother-daughter argument was because of him.
Zeng Li denied it, saying they were just arguing. Ai Jingchu used a cotton swab to disinfect Zeng Li's lip, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster. Ai Jingchu said he would accompany Zeng Li in whatever she wanted to do. So Zeng Li took him to eat hot pot and then drank a large bottle of wine by herself. Actually, she knew that her mother's constant divorces and remarriages were for her to have better living conditions.
She interfered with Zeng Li's studies, work, and relationships. Zeng Li actually felt quite happy, but she didn't know why she was telling Ai Jingchu all this. This was the first time she had talked about these things with anyone else. Ai Jingchu told Zeng Li his own story. He was actually posthumous child. When his parents were dating, his grandmother strongly objected, so they left East Lake.
But not long after, Ai Jingchu's father passed away, and his mother was already pregnant. His grandfather begged her to give birth to the child. His mother left soon after Ai Jingchu was born, so he actually envied Zeng Li for having a mother who cared. He told Zeng Li that life would bring many experiences, and after enduring the pain, one would realize how insignificant those experiences were.
Zeng Li got drunk and insisted on telling Ai Jingchu her secret: she had never been in a relationship. Zeng Li then started to worry about what she would do when she got married. How awkward would it be with three fathers sitting at one table, and who should give her away to the groom? Of course, the most serious problem was, where was Zeng Li's groom, and why was she almost thirty without having been in a relationship?
Ai Jingchu said the second problem wasn't a problem. Before he could finish what he wanted to say, Zeng Li's attention was drawn to the Alaska doll in the store, and she directly grabbed him and ran off. Ai Jingchu coaxed Zeng Li to go home, but Zeng Li instead used a dog leash to lead him to her coffee shop and made seven cups of coffee.
Ai Jingchu said he didn't drink coffee, but Zeng Li cried and begged him to drink it, even sitting on him. In a daze, she mistook Ai Jingchu's face for the Alaska doll and forcibly kissed him.
