Cute Bodyguard Episode 6 Recap
> Cute Bodyguard Recap
Following his injury, Gu Rong feigns indifference while demanding water from Su Jingjing. She brings it along with a note purportedly from the sculpture he made, which she now calls her "son," thanking him. Gu Rong playfully corrects her, insisting the sculpture is his creation, but Su Jingjing is adamant. They playfully compromise, agreeing the sculpture is their shared "son." When Gu Rong's stomach rumbles, revealing he hasn't eaten, Su Jingjing offers to buy him food.
Despite his foot injury, Gu Rong insists on accompanying her. As they walk, Su Jingjing notices Gu Rong's intense gaze and briefly wonders if he has feelings for her, dismissing it as a "terrifying thought." To change the subject, she asks about his foot. Gu Rong downplays the soft tissue bruise but then feigns pain to elicit her concern. She offers to get her e-bike to give him a ride, but he refuses, preferring to walk with her.
Su Jingjing observes that he has changed, noting he is much less distant than when he first arrived. Seemingly realizing his own increased closeness, Gu Rong quickly pulls his arm back and denies anything is different. Their walk is interrupted when Ai Mi, riding her e-bike, nearly collides with them. Gu Rong swiftly pulls Su Jingjing into an embrace, a moment Ai Mi witnesses.
The three settle at a street food stall, where Ai Mi announces she is about to start a new relationship and will introduce her boyfriend once he confesses. Hearing this, Su Jingjing laments her own desire for a sweet romance. Ai Mi remarks that the romance she seeks is "right in front of her," but quickly clarifies she meant Han Ran, her Senior Brother.
The mention of Han Ran reminds Su Jingjing of her failed confession and missing his book signing. At the same time, Gu Rong suddenly complains of chest discomfort, describing the feeling as "stuffy." Meanwhile, Su Jingjing's father enlists Han Ran's help to plan a surprise for his wife, Caixia: a 30th-anniversary celebration of the day she "walked into his heart." His grand plan is to recreate the disco hall where they first met in their living room.
When Su Jingjing expresses a wish for a similarly romantic partner, Gu Rong cynically calls it "daydreaming," prompting her to retort that at least she has someone she likes, unlike him. The group splits up for preparations: Su Jingjing and Han Ran are assigned to buy groceries, while her father and Gu Rong handle decorations. Gu Rong tries to go with them but is ordered to stay home due to his injury.
Left alone with her father, Gu Rong grows agitated, imagining Su Jingjing confessing to Han Ran. His anxiety intensifies as her father proudly shows him mementos of their shared childhood, like Han Ran's first award certificate given to Su Jingjing and a sword they practiced with, calling them the "legendary twins." Unable to bear it, Gu Rong makes an excuse about needing to buy flowers and rushes out to find them.
In the crowded market, Gu Rong's haphephobia is triggered, and he faints. Su Jingjing and Han Ran find and revive him. Han Ran speculates that Gu Rong might have feelings for Su Jingjing, but she dismisses it, claiming they are from "two different worlds." However, she then privately wonders if Han Ran's pointed observation stems from jealousy. Elsewhere, Gu Rong's call for flowers to his assistant, Xie Te, is intercepted by Chief He, who is still searching for him.
Xie Te flees with the bouquet and takes refuge in Ai Mi's toy store. Mistaking his arrival with flowers as a grand romantic gesture, Ai Mi enthusiastically accepts his "confession" and embraces him. Seeing the intimate scene, Chief He concludes he has the wrong person and leaves, leaving a bewildered Xie Te unexpectedly in a new relationship. Back home, Caixia returns to the surprise disco party. Deeply touched, she dances with her husband, who tearfully recounts their thirty years together.
She reveals that it wasn't his looks or the flashy setting that won her over, but a simple bowl of noodles he once made for her. Later, Gu Rong apologizes for the flowers not arriving, but is reassured that sincerity matters more. The mood shifts when Su Jingjing's father mentions she went to see Han Ran off, having changed into a "brand new dress." Noticing Gu Rong's strained expression, Caixia gently coaxes him to open up.
He admits to feeling a tightness in his chest whenever he sees his female "friend" with another man. With her worldly wisdom, Caixia immediately diagnoses his ailment not as a heart problem, but as "one-sided love."
