When You Be Me Episode 5 Recap
> When You Be Me Recap
Mu Xiangxiang, currently inhabiting Qiao Nan's body, overheard Qiao Nan's classmates gossiping that Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, was on the rooftop with Jiang Hai and about to give him her first kiss. Shocked, Mu Xiangxiang rushed to the rooftop and saw Qiao Nan wiping her mouth, with Jiang Hai standing nearby. This devastated Mu Xiangxiang.
Afterwards, a teacher saw Mu Xiangxiang, still in Qiao Nan’s body, crying and hugging her, lamenting that she was "not clean anymore," which embarrassed the teacher. Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, tried to explain, but Mu Xiangxiang refused to listen, regretting ever having saved Qiao Nan. Meanwhile, Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, received news of a gang fight and called Qiao Nan's followers to meet at Lakeside Park.
Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan’s body, was already at the park, heartbroken. The gang leader, Cao Wei, arrived intending to fight Qiao Nan, but when he accidentally hit Mu Xiangxiang, he apologized, finding it unsportsmanlike to fight someone who was crying. Instead, they ended up playing a mobile game together, revealing a surprisingly endearing side of Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang’s body.
Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, arrived with her followers, furious to see Mu Xiangxiang playing games with the gang leader. Qiao Nan's followers mocked the gang, but Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, quickly defeated them. She then demanded to know where Qiao Nan was, unaware that the person playing the game was the real Qiao Nan. Cao Wei, impressed by Qiao Nan's gaming skills, offered to help her improve and protect her.
He then told Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang’s body, not to take Mu Xiangxiang’s harsh words to heart. After the encounter, Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang’s body, chastised Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan’s body, for befriending the gang. She clarified that nothing had happened with Jiang Hai on the rooftop, explaining that she had only wiped her mouth after feeling nauseous. Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan’s body, was relieved to learn that his first kiss was still intact.
They agreed to a truce, promising not to harm each other and to face future challenges together. They also exchanged phones to prevent further misunderstandings and agreed on guidelines for handling each other's calls and messages. The next day, Qiao Nan, still in Mu Xiangxiang's body, changed seats to sit closer to Mu Xiangxiang, who was in Qiao Nan's body, and asked a classmate to copy notes for her.
After class, Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, texted Mu Xiangxiang to meet her and took him to an expensive clothing store. She bought a 39,800 yuan suit for Mu Defeng. Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan’s body, objected, explaining that his father could not accept such an expensive gift. He exchanged it for a smaller size. That evening, Qiao Nan, still in Mu Xiangxiang's body, suggested treating Mu Defeng and his wife to a lavish dinner.
Their aunt-in-law arrived and made remarks about Mu Xiangxiang profiting from the low rent she charged. Mu Defeng gave the aunt-in-law a gift and apologized for his "daughter's" behavior. The incident upset Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang’s body, and she reflected on Mu Xiangxiang's earlier words about how "people are different." Mu Defeng offered her a chocolate, a treat she loved but usually couldn't have due to her asthma, saying, "Today we'll make an exception."
Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang’s body, was deeply moved by the family's affection. She ate the chocolate, and Mu Defeng told his wife to cook meat for her that night. Upon returning home, Qiao Nan, in Mu Xiangxiang's body, presented Qiao Yuanshan with the suit she had bought. His subordinates praised Qiao Nan. Qiao Yuanshan feigned indifference but was inwardly touched. He ended the meeting early and tried on the suit.
Later that night, Qiao Rui, Qiao Nan's elder brother, returned home. He found his father wearing the suit and went to Qiao Nan's room, where he found Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan's body, asleep. He covered him with a blanket, startling Mu Xiangxiang awake. She cried out, alarming Qiao Yuanshan and Luo Meisheng. Mu Xiangxiang, in Qiao Nan's body, claimed to have had a bad dream.
After Qiao Yuanshan and Luo Meisheng left, Mu Xiangxiang instinctively called out, "Bro, help me turn off the light." Qiao Rui was surprised, remarking that it had been a long time since she had called him "brother." Luo Meisheng commented to Qiao Yuanshan that Qiao Nan had become unusually well-behaved lately. Qiao Yuanshan dismissed it, joking that Qiao Nan must be short on money.
However, Qiao Yuanshan was later seen sleeping in the new jacket, which Luo Meisheng teased him about. The next morning, Mu Xiangxiang, still in Qiao Nan's body, woke up and was startled to find someone in the bathroom.
