Take My Brother Away Episode 2 Recap
> Take My Brother Away Recap
Siblings Shi Fen and Shi Miao are fiercely battling over two meal vouchers they won at a national talent competition for an expensive restaurant called Dream Paradise. After a violent struggle where Shi Miao attempts to kick Shi Fen's bike and crashes into a tree, Shi Fen seemingly gives her a voucher, but it turns out to be fake, leading to another fight.
The school doctor intervenes, setting a challenge: the sibling who finds a companion for dinner before school ends will win the vouchers. Shi Fen confidently seeks friends, while Shi Miao feels dejected, believing she has none. Shi Miao tries to secure a companion, apologizing to Wang Keke, who accepts. Shi Miao mistakenly believes Wang Keke has agreed to go to dinner with her.
Meanwhile, Miao Miaomiao observes Shi Fen coercing Shi Miao for her meal card and misinterprets the situation, believing Shi Miao has been deeply hurt or swindled by Shi Fen, thus vowing to protect her. Later, Zhen Kaixin kindly pays for Shi Miao's lunch using Shi Fen's meal card, even ordering an extra dish, leaving Shi Miao smitten with him.
Wang Keke, witnessing this, mistakenly believes Shi Miao and Zhen Kaixin are a couple and tries to arrange a dinner for the three of them, but Shi Miao's unfamiliarity with Zhen Kaixin's name leads to confusion and Wang Keke's anger. You Le undergoes a stunning transformation from an "ugly" girl to a beautiful one, captivating everyone, though Shi Fen had always seen her beauty. Shi Fen decides to invite You Le to dinner.
She initially rejects him, misunderstanding his explanation of how he won the vouchers (through dancing) as him engaging in a striptease and being disappointed. Hao Ren then challenges Shi Fen: if Shi Fen fails to get You Le to dinner, he will tie Hao Ren's shoelaces for a semester; if he succeeds, Hao Ren will concede defeat. To gather information about You Le, Shi Fen attempts to bribe You Le's deskmate, Zheng Mei, with five chicken legs.
With only two meal cards between himself and Zhen Kaixin (one each), Shi Fen needs more. He approaches Cheng Haonan, who leads the music club and wishes for Shi Fen to be his follower. Haonan proposes lending three meal cards if Shi Fen agrees, or two for a three-day loan if he doesn't. Shi Fen's attempts at persuasion fail, and he only secures a loan of two cards.
He then resorts to intimidating Shi Miao into giving him her meal card, which she reluctantly surrenders to avoid being seen with him by Wang Keke. After receiving the five chicken legs, Zheng Mei reveals You Le's two traits: a fondness for the smell of scented water and a soft heart when others cry. Shi Fen, armed with this information, sprays himself with scented water and invites You Le to a buffet.
However, You Le has an allergic reaction and flees, admitting the scented water information was a trick to gauge sincerity. They are called back to class and, along with Zhen Kaixin, are assigned detention. Shi Fen then devises a plan, using a fabricated emotional family story to move the teacher to tears, thereby getting You Le excused from detention. You Le, now free, finally agrees to accompany Shi Fen to the buffet.
Wang Keke gets locked in a toilet, and Shi Miao rescues her. In gratitude, Wang Keke agrees to be Shi Miao's companion. Both Shi Fen and Shi Miao race to the medical office. Shi Fen, seeing Shi Miao's injured foot and determination, decides to let her win the vouchers. Consequently, Shi Miao secures the meal vouchers, while Shi Fen loses his bet with Hao Ren and begins tying Hao Ren's shoelaces.
Shi Fen cancels his dinner with You Le, claiming a basketball game, but You Le overhears Zhen Kaixin mentioning a different dinner plan, exposing Shi Fen's lie. Later, Shi Miao takes Wang Keke to the buffet, only to discover the vouchers are merely discounts (15 yuan off per 100 yuan spent), not free meals, making her hard-won victory ultimately disappointing.
