Episode 9 recap: Chen Mi Ren mistakenly thought that Zhong Wei was a fake second-generation rich.
After returning home, Chen Mi Ren studied very hard, thinking that it was just calculus, and she wouldn't be afraid of it. Chen Mi Ren's parents were very surprised and didn't expect Chen Mi Ren to study so diligently. Chen Mi Ren's mother read an article about depression and felt that Chen Mi Ren's current appearance was very fitting. Chen Mi Ren's parents kicked her out of the house and told her not to study at home anymore. They told her to go wherever she wanted to play, and Chen Mi Ren's father even gave her some money.
Chen Mi Ren didn't know where to go. When she went out, she happened to overhear a couple saying they had a secret. Chen Mi Ren remembered what Zhong Wei mentioned in a video about burying something for her under a tree at school. Chen Mi Ren didn't know which tree Zhong Wei had buried it under, so she spent a long time digging until she finally found it. Inside was a photo of them together, and Zhong Wei said he wanted to be with Chen Mi Ren forever. Chen Mi Ren wrote "okay" on it and buried the box back.
Zhao Gu packed up and left. His mother asked him where he was going, and Zhao Gu said he had something to do and needed to go back to school first. Zhao Gu's mother insisted that he finish his meal before leaving, but Zhao Gu declined. The workers were leaving, and Zhong Wei didn't stop them. Qi Chao asked Zhong Wei what they should do with the remaining renovations, and Zhong Wei said they would handle it themselves. Little did Zhong Wei know, someone had taken pictures of how he had decorated the place.
Xu Miao Miao mentioned a novel she had recently read, where the male lead claimed to be a second-generation rich, but it turned out to be a lie driven by his ego. Chen Mi Ren and others discussed this in a group chat, with some people understanding the character's behavior while others believed that deceiving the female lead was not right.
Chen Mi Ren, influenced by the novel plot Xu Miao Miao mentioned, and observing Zhong Wei working at the construction site, misunderstood him and thought that Zhong Wei was also a fake second-generation rich. In reality, he was just working there to earn money. Chen Mi Ren gave Zhong Wei 100 yuan and ran away.
Qi Chao noticed Zhong Wei's happy expression and asked him what happened. Zhong Wei said that Chen Mi Ren gave him money to spend and found her adorable. Qi Chao asked if Zhong Wei's girlfriend was the tall and slim girl they had encountered at the shopping mall, and Zhong Wei confirmed that it was her.
After returning home, Chen Mi Ren tried to please her mother in various ways, hoping to get an increase in her allowance. Chen Mi Ren's mother said she was already giving her 2,000 yuan per month for living expenses, but Chen Mi Ren calculated and felt it was not enough. Chen Mi Ren's mother said the maximum she could give was 200 yuan, but Chen Mi Ren wanted 500 yuan. Chen Mi Ren's mother asked if she was in a romantic relationship, otherwise, why would she need so much money? Chen Mi Ren quickly said it was nothing.
Chen Mi Ren approached her father, who claimed to have no money, but she knew he had a hidden stash. Chen Mi Ren said that if there was no money, she would have to work hard at a part-time job washing dishes. Chen Mi Ren's father had no choice but to take out the hidden money and give it to her. Zhao Gu worked part-time at an English institution and met a foreign exchange student there.
In the group chat, Xu Miao Miao mentioned the plot of the novel again, where the female lead wanted to help the male lead and gave him money, but he was unhappy, feeling it hurt his pride. Chen Mi Ren thought of the 100 yuan she gave Zhong Wei and felt frustrated, realizing that there might be a similar issue. She wanted to send a message to Zhong Wei to explain, but she couldn't find the right words, so she didn't send it in the end.
Chen Mi Ren waited for Zhong Wei downstairs and asked him to return the money, thinking that if she had lent the money to Zhong Wei, it wouldn't hurt his pride. Zhong Wei took out his wallet to return the money, but it turned out that there were only small change coins inside, and one coin fell to the ground. Chen Mi Ren felt extremely embarrassed and quickly said that if Zhong Wei didn't have the money, he didn't need to rush to return it. After saying that, Chen Mi Ren ran away.
