> Use for My Talent Recap
Gu Renqi approached Shi Yingxiong, expressing his desire for Shi Yingxiong to once again entrust Shi Shuangjiao to his care. Shi Yingxiong acknowledged that past disagreements were resolved but stated that if Gu Renqi was determined to ensure Shi Shuangjiao's lifelong happiness, he should serve a cup of tea to both him and Shuangjiao's mother.
Gu Renqi solemnly performed the tea ceremony before Shuangjiao’s mother's memorial tablet, promising to cherish and protect Shuangjiao, ensuring she would never experience hardship, which moved Shuangjiao to tears as she embraced Shi Yingxiong. Shi Junjie, however, sternly warned Gu Renqi that if he ever mistreated his sister, they would hold him accountable. Gu Renqi reassured them he would keep his word, declaring that from then on, they were all his family.
Finally, Shi Yingxiong formally placed Shi Shuangjiao's hand into Gu Renqi's, reiterating the importance of his promise to care for his daughter. That evening, Shi Junjie and Zhu Yan returned home, joining Shi Shuangjiao and Gu Renqi for dinner. Shi Yingxiong expressed his relief about Shuangjiao's situation, though he admitted some lingering worry about Shi Junjie's upcoming study abroad.
He praised Zhu Yan for helping Shi Junjie come around to the idea of being an exchange student, stating that Junjie’s excellence led to such a good opportunity. Seeing his children settled, Shi Yingxiong then turned his attention to Zhu Yan’s marital status, suggesting he could introduce her to eligible young men her age. He specifically proposed their neighbor, Lu Xian, describing him as gentle, thoughtful, mature, and steady, far superior to "immature children."
Before Shi Junjie could object, Gu Renqi feigned a leg injury. Shi Junjie then shocked everyone by declaring himself Zhu Yan's boyfriend, asserting his responsibility for her. Seeing the brewing conflict, Shi Shuangjiao discreetly led Gu Renqi away, confident that Shi Junjie could handle his father, who she believed was only pretending to be upset since he secretly approved of Junjie marrying Zhu Yan. Later, Shi Shuangjiao surprised Gu Renqi for his birthday.
She blindfolded him and led him to a beautifully lit bridge adorned with flowers. She wished him a happy birthday and encouraged him to make a wish. Gu Renqi wished for Shi Shuangjiao's lifelong happiness, to which Shuangjiao playfully chided him for wishing too quickly and for someone else. She then made a wish for him, hoping Gu Renqi would be happy forever, confident it would come true.
She revealed that the illuminated path they had walked represented their shared journey and time together, and she promised to celebrate every future birthday with him, preparing countless gifts and helping him fulfill his desires. Deeply moved, Gu Renqi confessed, "You are my gift. I love you," words that surprised Shuangjiao, noting it was the first time he had expressed those three words to her.
Upon Gu Renqi’s full recovery, he returned to the company, where he was met with a warm welcome from his colleagues. His office had been meticulously tidied in anticipation of his arrival. Employees spoke highly of Shi Shuangjiao’s efforts in his absence, noting her hard work and overtime. Gu Renqi commended Shuangjiao, acknowledging her hard work. During this time, Li Dongxian approached Gu Renqi to resign, explaining his decision to pursue his own growth and experiences outside the company.
Gu Renqi, though sad to see him go, fully supported his ambition and wished him well, affirming his belief in Li Dongxian's capabilities. As a final request, Gu Renqi asked Li Dongxian to complete the nursing home project with them as a collaboration, maintaining the same high standards. Li Dongxian agreed, ready for the challenge.
After they officially started dating, Gu Renqi playfully confessed to Shi Shuangjiao that he had a "girlfriend," causing her to feel a pang of jealousy, especially since she had never dated before. He teased her further, describing this "girlfriend" as slim, well-shaped, smart, gentle, obedient, and very clean.
When Shuangjiao pressed him on why he wasn't with such a perfect person, he explained that she was a "Premium Series" cleaning robot, and before Shuangjiao entered his life, only the robot could stay by his side for so long. He shared how his meticulously ordered world, which once couldn't tolerate a speck of dust, now felt wonderful with her presence, and he looked forward to their future together with great joy.
Meanwhile, Li Dongxian was diligently looking after Wang Qianqian. Recognizing his own straightforward nature, he honestly communicated to her that he sometimes lacked romantic flair and struggled to understand hints. He urged her to be direct about her needs and desires, promising to learn and do everything for her if she just told him. He even attempted to help her build strength for carrying bags by encouraging her to learn horse riding.
Wang Qianqian found his earnestness endearing, noting his thoughtfulness despite his rugged appearance. She also acknowledged potential public scrutiny over their relationship, hinting at her willingness to give up her career as an anchor if necessary to be with him. Despite his self-doubt about being good enough for her, Wang Qianqian assured him of her affection, stating her deep feelings for him.
Eventually, Gu Renqi's cleanliness fetishism was confirmed to be cured, a positive development that Lu Xian, as his therapist, congratulated him on. Lu Xian announced his decision to return to the United States for work. Shi Shuangjiao pressed him for details, saddened by his departure. Lu Xian, with a mix of seriousness and humor, told her that if she ever regretted her choices or found herself unhappy, he would wait for her, even for decades.
Shuangjiao playfully questioned his commitment to being single, but Lu Xian joked about American girls waiting for him. As a parting gesture, Shuangjiao returned a power bank he had lent her, suggesting he give it to someone he loved, despite his initial reluctance to take it back. She insisted on its practical use for his flight and for maintaining their connection as important friends.
Gu Renqi orchestrated an elaborate proposal, sending Shi Shuangjiao to a remote grassland under the pretense of a very important work project. Upon arrival, Shuangjiao was confused to find nothing but a single hot air balloon, mistakenly believing she was there to clean it. Once inside, she was surprised to find Gu Renqi already there. As the hot air balloon ascended, Gu Renqi spoke profoundly about changing perspectives, likening life’s difficulties to vast distances that shrink from a different viewpoint.
He recalled his past hesitation to commit, acknowledging that Shuangjiao had always taken steps towards him, while he lacked the courage to take his own. Now, he declared, he was finally taking that step. He vowed to love and protect her until the end of their lives, promising to walk ahead of her, holding her hand, and ensuring they would never be apart. Kneeling, Gu Renqi asked Shi Shuangjiao to marry him.
With tears in her eyes, Shuangjiao joyfully accepted, promising to love him unconditionally, whether he was Gu Renqi or her "little cleanliness," in good times or bad, in wealth or poverty, in sickness or health. Gu Renqi held her hand, his heart full of love for his "Xiaolata," as they gazed into the distance while the hot air balloon soared.
