Why Is He Still Single Episode 10 Recap
> Why Is He Still Single Recap
Yu Yu accepts the demanding artist's renovation project, a decision that impresses Lin Sa, who notes how Gu Yejia's words always seem to resolve Yu Yu's issues. Yu Yu dedicates himself to the work, meticulously designing on site with his team. Meanwhile, Xia Xiaoman and Gu Yejia watch the movie "Little Women." Xia Xiaoman reflects on the film, appreciating the heroine's bravery, but expressing her desire for both freedom and the traditional joys of marriage and a large family.
Gu Yejia reassures her that knowing what she wants is admirable. Yu Yu, while trying to get a copy of the same movie from an old friend, is teased for his sudden interest in it. Still immersed in his work, Yu Yu builds a sophisticated remote-controlled race car. Wearing a mysterious helmet, he enters a children's remote model car racing championship. His car, named "Who Borrowed The Little Woman?"
, showcases extensive modifications, including reduced drag, improved handling, a lightweight body with titanium alloy screws, and even wind tunnel testing, allowing it to reach speeds over 100 kilometers per hour. Yu Yu skillfully maneuvers his car, making bold turns and defending his lead against opponents like Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, eventually winning the trophy. However, his victory is met with scorn from the children.
Lin Sa questions why an adult would compete against kids for a prize, while Shen Wu declares Yu Yu's self-satisfied behavior "shameless" and "hopeless." Later, Yu Yu encounters Xia Xiaoman buying expensive dog food. He dismisses her deep affection for her dog, Dao, as a mere "mammal instinct" for food, contrasting it with the practical benefits of having a child.
Soon after, while Yu Yu is working on an invention outside his apartment, he discovers Xia Xiaoman writhing in pain on the ground. He rushes her to the hospital, where Gu Yejia diagnoses her with appendicitis, requiring minimally invasive surgery and a week-long hospital stay. Gu Yejia also notes a minor bone fracture in Xia Xiaoman's hand, which Xia Xiaoman dramatically attributes to Yu Yu "crushing it" with his heel.
Concerned for Dao, Xia Xiaoman first calls a friend, Qingqing, who cannot care for the dog due to landlord restrictions and a roommate's objections. Shen Wu visits Xia Xiaoman in the hospital. Gu Yejia, noticing that Xia Xiaoman can't eat the calcium-rich ribs Yu Yu had sent, suggests she and Shen Wu eat them instead. Shen Wu then agrees to take care of Dao.
He initially tries to bring Dao to the design studio, but Yu Yu adamantly refuses, citing potential messes and noise. Shen Wu bonds with Dao, finding it adorable, but his girlfriend, Xiaoxiao, demands he choose between her and the dog, pushing him to prioritize "peace at home." With no other options, Shen Wu and Gu Yejia are left contemplating what to do with Dao in a park.
Yu Yu appears, initially reluctant and protesting, but ultimately agrees to foster Dao for five days, attributing his decision to "compassion" for them. He is given Dao's food and toys. Yu Yu brings Dao home and, despite his initial reluctance, meticulously cares for the dog. He precisely weighs out 80 grams of dog food, prepares wagyu steak for it, and even plays the soundtrack of "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" while conversing with Dao.
He sternly warns Dao not to touch his precious belongings like speakers, records, and models. When Dao initially refuses to eat its kibble, Yu Yu eats his own meal with gusto, threatening to throw Dao and its food out if it doesn't comply, eventually leading Dao to eat. Meanwhile, before her surgery, Xia Xiaoman expresses extreme anxiety about Dao, especially upon learning it is with Yu Yu.
She dramatically attempts to cancel her surgery to "save" Dao, but Gu Yejia calmly prevents her. Yu Yu finds Dao to be quite disruptive. One day, while he is preoccupied with a client meeting discussing a budget increase, Dao's barking from home creates distractions. Later, Xia Xiaoman calls Yu Yu, wanting to see Dao.
Yu Yu playfully, yet firmly, refuses to let her see Dao via video call, jokingly that he "ate it," much to Gu Yejia's exasperation as she reassures Xia Xiaoman. Seeking to rehome Dao, Yu Yu first approaches Lin Sa, who initially claims to have overcome her dog hair allergy but then quickly retracts, citing pollen allergies. Next, Yu Yu pleads with his mother to take Dao.
However, his mother also refuses, citing her own dog hair allergy and expressing her disapproval of people prioritizing pets over marriage, much to the disappointment of Yu Yu's niece who wishes to play with Dao. To monitor Dao, Yu Yu installs a security camera at home. Upon seeing the chaos Dao creates, he rushes back fully equipped to clean up the mess. Despite Gu Yejia's offer of help from colleagues, Yu Yu insists on caring for Dao himself.
He begins taking Dao on morning runs, gradually accepting the dog into his life. One day, Dao accidentally knocks over and breaks Yu Yu's cherished racing trophy. Enraged, Yu Yu gives Dao to Gu Yejia, but not before giving her a detailed list of instructions for Dao's care, including specific dog food portions, paw-washing routines, preferences for medium-well wagyu steak without black pepper, and mentioning Dao's fear of large dogs.
Shen Wu consistently reminds Yu Yu about the comfort of having someone waiting at home, which Yu Yu finds irritating. However, Yu Yu later realizes his trophy was broken by the wind, not Dao, filling him with guilt. Soon after, Gu Yejia calls Yu Yu, panicked, reporting that Dao has gone missing, having pulled free from its leash during their walk. Yu Yu, calling her "dumb," immediately rushes off in a taxi to help search for Dao.
