Episode 9 recap: Lin Tian Yu helped An Xin overcome her emotional hurdle.
Zhou Kai Ze shouted loudly upstairs, expressing his love for Chen Ruo Hua. Upon hearing this, Chen Ruo Hua quickly covered his mouth with her hand. Lin Tian Yu informed An Xin that her mother needed to be observed at the hospital for two days, and he would take care of her during that time. Liu Nan told Zhou Kai Ze that there was a masked woman who seemed to be following him.
Zhao Xiu Li showed An Xin a stack of photos, all of the people who had gone on dates with Zhou Kai Ze. Chen Ruo Hua had a date with Zhou Kai Ze, who bought her ice cream and even deliberately let her feed him some. Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Ruo Hua asked Zhou Kai Ze if he was willing to visit her home. Zhou Kai Ze shamelessly smiled and replied that he would be happy to meet his future mother-in-law. The two of them arrived at Chen Ruo Hua's house, much to Zhao Xiu Li's surprise and complaint as she was not prepared in advance.
Zhao Xiu Li wanted to go out and buy groceries, but Zhou Kai Ze sensibly suggested they eat whatever they had at home. During the meal, Zhou Kai Ze smacked his lips and praised Zhao Xiu Li's cooking, making her feel delighted and inviting him to come over whenever he had time.
After leaving Chen Ruo Hua's house, Zhou Kai Ze attempted to hold Chen Ruo Hua's hand, but she avoided it. Zhou Kai Ze asked her if she didn't take their relationship seriously, and Chen Ruo Hua told him that she was afraid he didn't take it seriously. Hearing this, Zhou Kai Ze shouted loudly upstairs again, expressing his love for Chen Ruo Hua. Chen Ruo Hua quickly covered his mouth and then pulled him away. The two of them found a secluded place where Zhou Kai Ze couldn't help but kiss Chen Ruo Hua. This time, Chen Ruo Hua did not refuse.
After they finished kissing, Zhou Kai Ze brought up Chen Ruo Hua's job, but she told him that she only wanted to have a pure and non-utilitarian relationship with him. Upon hearing Chen Ruo Hua's response, Zhou Kai Ze liked her even more.
Zhao Xiu Fang was jogging when Lin Tian Yu saw that she had done enough exercise for the day. He was about to remind her not to run anymore when Zhao Xiu Fang suddenly fell to the ground. Lin Tian Yu quickly took her to the hospital. While waiting at home, An Xin noticed that her mother hadn't returned to cook for her, so she called Qin Feng to find out what was going on with her mother.
Qin Feng was on a business trip to Sanya and wanted An Xin's mother-in-law to go and check on her, but An Xin refused.
An Xin sat in her wheelchair, anxiously looking downstairs when Lin Tian Yu opened the combination lock and suddenly entered the room. Lin Tian Yu told An Xin that her mother had fallen ill and needed to be observed at the hospital for two days, and he would take care of her during that time.
Lin Tian Yu carried two boxes of takeout in his hands and deliberately teased An Xin, mentioning that Aunt Zhao was in the hospital, and he was worried that An Xin wouldn't have anything to eat. He even said that An Xin's legs were broken, not her brain, and if she was hungry, she would definitely order takeout. However, to his surprise, she hadn't ordered anything. After saying these things, Lin Tian Yu encouraged An Xin to have her meal and, seeing that she refused to eat, he picked up one of the boxes and started eating, praising how delicious the food was.
An Xin couldn't put her mind at ease about her mother and wanted to go to the hospital to check on her. Lin Tian Yu explicitly told her that going to the hospital would only be a hindrance and that she should stay home honestly. He advised her not to give her mother any more worries, as it would be better than anything else. An Xin found Lin Tian Yu's words reasonable and stopped insisting, sitting down at the dining table to start eating.
In the following days, Lin Tian Yu came over every day to take care of An Xin and assigned her some tasks within her capacity. He also told her that relying on oneself was better than relying on anyone else, as a husband might change his mind and even if she relied on her mother, her mother couldn't accompany her forever. Under Lin Tian Yu's guidance, An Xin underwent significant changes and started cooking for herself.
Liu Nan and Zhou Kai Ze played basketball together when Liu Nan noticed a masked woman who seemed to be following Zhou Kai Ze. He discreetly warned Zhou Kai Ze, and although Zhao Xiu Li was wearing a mask, Zhou Kai Ze still recognized her. In order to spare Zhao Xiu Li embarrassment, he pulled Liu Nan away.
Zhao Xiu Li returned home and showed Chen Ruo Hua a small notebook, telling her about the girls Zhou Kai Ze had been in contact with and what they did together. When Chen Ruo Hua learned that her mother was tracking Zhou Kai Ze, she reminded her that if she didn't want to drive away this potential son-in-law, it would be better not to do such things in the future.
Zhao Xiu Fang was jogging in the park, and although she was somewhat worried about An Xin, she resisted the urge to go home and check on her. However, An Xin couldn't rest assured about her mother, and when she insisted on going to the hospital, Lin Tian Yu took her to the park instead. Zhao Xiu Fang was astonished to discover that her daughter had changed completely and even volunteered to press her prosthetic limb. From that moment on, Zhao Xiu Fang knew that An Xin had overcome the emotional hurdle within her.
Ruohua was concerned about her roommate's suicidal thoughts, so she brought her to stay in the school dormitory. That's understandable. But then, Ruohua's mother, because Ruohua had a few extra conversations with a boy on the phone, went through her phone and checked their chat history late at night!
I was truly suffocated. I quickly told my mom that this is an example of what not to do.
