Episode 12 recap: Shen Xi became a team engineer.
After Chen Mo Bai returned, Hao Yang asked him what he thought about Shen Xi, whether he saw her as a team engineer or someone he liked. Chen Mo Bai said he definitely saw her as an engineer. Hao Yang then asked Chen Mo Bai why he kissed Shen Xi. Chen Mo Bai quickly clarified that he didn't actually kiss her.
When Chen Mo Bai learned that Shen Xi had been fired by the administrative department, Chen Mo Fei arranged a new engineer for him. Chen Mo Bai was very excited and said he wouldn't accept this new engineer. He mentioned that he has a bad temper and would drive the new engineer away even if they came. Assistant Jiang was going to take Shen Xi away, and Chen Mo Bai was surprised to see that it was Shen Xi.
Assistant Jiang explained that Shen Xi officially resigned from the administrative department and joined the team as an engineer. Chen Mo Bai was extremely happy. Chen Mo Fei went to the battery development department and learned that the battery development was successful. He was also very happy. Chen Mo Fei shared this news with Assistant Jiang, who was also delighted.
Chen Mo Fei mentioned that he had imagined many times what it would be like when he reached this point, but he didn't expect it to feel like this. President Xiu Nan came to find the people from Jun Da and expressed that he didn't expect Rui Feng to actually succeed in their research and development. They were one step behind, but they still had a chance to turn things around. In the upcoming competition, they must defeat Chen Mo Bai fiercely.
Shen Xi customized training plans for everyone. She made Chen Mo Bai run with a sandbag tied to him to find out his limits. After the run, Shen Xi had Chen Mo Bai soak in ice water, explaining that the ice can constrict the capillaries and repair damaged muscles so that Chen Mo Bai wouldn't experience muscle soreness the next day and could continue training.
Chen Mo Bai accompanied Shen Xi home. Shen Xi asked Chen Mo Bai to pick her up the next morning so they could arrive at the team early for training. Chen Mo Bai was very happy and readily agreed. Hao Yang came out to have dinner with Zhao Ying Ning, who was upset upon learning that Chen Mo Bai wanted to kiss Shen Xi.
Zhao Ying Ning came to the team and said they had a new engineer, and she wanted to test Shen Xi's abilities to confirm if she was qualified.
Shen Xi agreed. Zhao Ying Ning found a test question to assess the team's technical skills and assigned the task to Hou Zi and the others. The standard time to complete the task was one and a half hours, but she allowed them two hours.
Hou Zi wondered why they had to include Shen Xi in the test, as they didn't want to slow her down. Zhao Ying Ning explained that engineers are the soul of the team and commanding their bodies meant commanding them. Shen Xi assured them that they could complete the task within one hour.
Shen Xi guided everyone through the task, teaching them how to do it. They indeed completed it within one hour. Zhao Ying Ning mentioned that she would continue observing Shen Xi in the future. Shen Xi called Chen Mo Bai over and asked him to use the simulator here, the one he usually used on the racetrack.
Chen Mo Bai drove for a whole day and wanted to switch to a different track, feeling like he could drive it even with his eyes closed. Shen Xi then asked him to drive with his eyes closed. Shen Xi thought about what her brother had said, that top-level drivers become instinctual and have muscle memory. She hoped Chen Mo Bai could reach that level too.
Shen Xi helped Chen Mo Bai put on a blindfold, thinking he might try to peek, but she quickly stopped him. Their fingertips touched, and both felt a bit awkward. Shen Xi remembered what her cousin had said earlier and couldn't help but laugh. Shen Xi went back first, while Chen Mo Bai remained on the rooftop, watching her silhouette. Hao Yang jokingly mentioned wanting to eat red bean rice as it supposedly cures lovesickness.
Chen Mo Bai told him not to talk nonsense, or else he would uproot all the vegetables he had grown.
