> Unusual Idol Love Recap
Zhuo Yuan from Youhu Entertainment was arrested by the police today, implicated in dealing with hackers to steal commercial secrets and infiltrate Kewen Entertainment's internal system, his reputation ruined. The collection of videos he uploaded previously, showcasing Hu Li's power leaks, resurfaced online and immediately propelled the topic of Hu Li being an AI into a trending search.
Zhou Hongwei expressed his concern to Hu Li, explaining that many partners had already sent termination agreements, and he was struggling to find a way to mitigate the widespread negative impact. Hu Li then proposed making his identity as an AI public. Zhou Hongwei was initially shocked, calling the idea crazy, and questioned how Ji Nian would accept it and how the public would view their relationship.
Hu Li countered that Ji Nian wouldn't care about public opinion; his main goal was to allow her to live without constant fear of the unknown. He affirmed his resolve to accept any outcome of his public disclosure, stating he only wished for Ji Nian to be at peace by his side. Seeing Hu Li's determination, Zhou Hongwei conceded, agreeing to cooperate if Ji Nian consented.
Hu Li also shared his decision with Bai Dongchen, thanking him for his unwavering support. Bai Dongchen assured Hu Li that he would back his decision to go public, remarking on Hu Li's courage to do things he wouldn't dare. Hu Li confided that Ji Nian gave him the strength to choose his own life and he was confident she would understand his choice.
He added that even if she didn't support his public disclosure, he was prepared to protect her from any overwhelming public opinion or rumors. Hu Li then encouraged Bai Dongchen to stop living so restrained and take a step forward in his own life. Meanwhile, Zhou Yifei confided in Ji Nian, expressing her frustration after being rejected by Bai Dongchen again. She questioned Ji Nian about her feelings regarding Hu Li's identity.
Ji Nian admitted that she wished they could keep it hidden, especially since Hu Li cherishes his stage and the adoration of his fans. However, if disclosure was inevitable, she would stand by him. Zhou Yifei wisely suggested that Ji Nian shouldn't impose her own fears on Hu Li and instead ask for his true feelings.
That night, Hu Li went to Ji Nian's room to discuss his decision to publicly reveal his AI identity, mentioning he had already told her father. Ji Nian, who had independently come to the same conclusion, expressed her unwavering support. She told him to proceed with the announcement, promising to stand by him no matter what, even jokingly offering to support him financially if his career ended.
Hu Li, in turn, confessed that with her support, he wasn't afraid of anything. They decided to spend a few quiet days together before the press conference, cherishing their time as a couple before facing the potential storm and allowing ample time for crisis public relations.
Ji Nian even playfully captured moments of Hu Li on her phone, intending to compile them into a video to show the public that Hu Li, despite being an AI, is a normal person with emotions. Hu Li surprised Ji Nian with a romantic "Chinese Food" themed meal, personally preparing dishes like "Hu Li's Omelette of Love," a "Harbin Red Sausage Platter," and "Master Hu's Ham Ramen," all made with his special touch.
Despite his amateur cooking, Ji Nian appreciated the gesture. Afterwards, he taught her how to dance, and they shared intimate moments. Ji Nian then proposed a role-playing game where they swapped identities. Hu Li donned a wig and Ji Nian's pink clothes, playfully mimicking her "mediocre college student" past while he boasted about being the "man of the moment" in a hilarious impersonation of himself, bringing laughter and joy to their quiet time together.
During this time, Zhou Yifei visited Bai Dongchen on his set and intervened when another female actress became overly familiar with him. Bai Dongchen, though cold towards the actress, did not show much warmth to Zhou Yifei either. Frustrated, Zhou Yifei stormed off to a bar. While drunk, she video-called Bai Dongchen, expressing that she would no longer like him, but he couldn't get her location.
Later, as she was being harassed by a group of hooligans in the street, Bai Dongchen arrived just in time, fighting them off and rescuing her. In an emotional confrontation, Zhou Yifei demanded to know if he had ever liked her. After a moment of hesitation, Bai Dongchen finally admitted, "I like you." The two then shared a deep embrace and kiss, finally giving in to their feelings for each other.
