Episode 9 recap: Xiao Yi Cheng confessed his feelings to Lin Xi.
Xiao Yi Cheng didn't dare to admit that he was the one who sent the medicine, but Wei Tian quickly realized that it was definitely sent by Xiao Yi Cheng. He deliberately called Lin Xi and asked her not to take the medicine, as three years ago someone had added unidentified substances to the medicine to frame Lin Xi. At this point, Xiao Yi Cheng took the phone and admitted that he was the one who sent the medicine, reassuring Lin Xi to take it.
Lin Xi was surprised as to why they were together, and Wei Tian was also helpless. After all, the two of them could communicate separately, so Wei Tian created a group chat for them to communicate. Cheng Yao felt jealous when he saw someone delivering medicine to Lin Xi, so he threw the medicine into the trash bin.
However, Lin Xi picked up the medicine after she went out. When she returned to her room, she saw a box filled with memories of Xiao Yi Cheng. It contained every gift Xiao Yi Cheng had given her, which Lin Xi had carefully preserved.
While standing by the window, Lin Xi suddenly saw Xiao Yi Cheng's car parked downstairs. She quickly went down and expressed her gratitude for the medicine. Xiao Yi Cheng mentioned how much Lin Xi had changed in these eight years, completely transforming from the previous Lin Xi. Xiao Yi Cheng said he had also changed a lot but knew that one thing had never changed.
Xiao Yi Cheng knew that Lin Xi cared about him. When the company's financial chain broke, Lin Xi even used her connections to help Xiao Yi Cheng. However, Lin Xi stated that they were only in a professional relationship now. Xiao Yi Cheng said he could wait for Lin Xi, but she kept finding excuses to reject him.
Xiao Yi Cheng didn't leave and continued waiting downstairs. In fact, Xiao Yi Cheng could tell that Lin Xi was lying, but she simply couldn't admit it. Deep down, she still liked Xiao Yi Cheng. Later, Lin Xi called Wei Tian and told him about Xiao Yi Cheng's confession, but she rejected him. She was afraid of getting into arguments with Xiao Yi Cheng again, especially after how decisively she had acted when he went abroad. Wei Tian felt frustrated seeing two people who liked each other but couldn't be together.
After Xiao Yi Cheng returned home, he continued to focus on his work. Tong Xin saw him smiling and thought there was progress in his love life, but Xiao Yi Cheng didn't respond. Although there was currently no progress, he felt that he still had a place in Lin Xi's heart. In the morning, Auntie helped Tan Sha Sha pack her luggage as she was preparing for a business trip. Tan Sha Sha hurriedly arrived at the station and entrusted her luggage to Wei Tian, who happened to be waiting there. Even though she was only going for seven days, Tan Sha Sha brought two suitcases with her. When she went through the security check, the security personnel noticed cylindrical objects in her luggage and opened it for inspection. Fortunately, it turned out to be a curling iron, and Tan Sha Sha was allowed to proceed. As soon as they got off the high-speed train, Tan Sha Sha's clothes accidentally tore, making her look very disheveled.
Tan Sha Sha brought many high-heeled shoes but forgot to bring suitable flat shoes. So they had to casually buy a pair. Usually, Tan Sha Sha wears very expensive shoes, sometimes even half a size larger. Wei Tian didn't know what to say. When Tan Sha Sha found out that the price of the shoes was only a few tens of yuan, she was very surprised. She had never thought they could be so cheap, but they felt very comfortable on her feet.
Tong Xin hurriedly went to find Xiao Yi Cheng and told him that their son, Pete, was missing. They both dropped everything and went to the school to check the surveillance footage. To their surprise, they saw Lin Xi picking up Pete. Xiao Yi Cheng and Tong Xin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rushed over. They were angry with Lin Xi for taking the child away without informing them.
Lin Xi apologized proactively and explained that Pete had called her and Tong Xin was too busy to pick him up, so she brought him home after school. Tong Xin added that it wasn't because of work but because Pete had a respiratory condition and couldn't have ice cream. Pete also apologized to Lin Xi.
Just as Lin Xi was about to leave, Xiao Yi Cheng called her back and invited her to have ice cream. There happened to be a promotion in the shop where they could get more rewards if they kissed for a longer time. Xiao Yi Cheng lightly kissed Lin Xi on the forehead, leaving her stunned. Lin Xi pretended to be angry, and Xiao Yi Cheng quickly apologized and ran out.
After Xiao Yi Cheng dropped Lin Xi off at home, he used the excuse of needing to use the bathroom to enter her house. Lin Xi initially wanted to pretend she didn't have the keys, but he saw through her. Xiao Yi Cheng pinned Lin Xi against the wall, and at that moment, Cheng Yao unexpectedly returned. Cheng Yao mentioned that Xiao Yi Cheng had also come to find her earlier.
When Xiao Yi Cheng went to the bathroom, he saw Cheng Yao's and Lin Xi's couple toothbrushes, which made him very uncomfortable. Initially, Cheng Yao wanted Xiao Yi Cheng to leave, but Xiao Yi Cheng pretended to stay to discuss something with Lin Xi.
Xiao Yi Cheng intentionally got close to Lin Xi, which made Cheng Yao feel uneasy. Cheng Yao even deliberately made a heart-shaped coffee for Lin Xi, but for Xiao Yi Cheng, she made a latte art in the shape of excrement. However, Xiao Yi Cheng also intentionally let Lin Xi drink the heart-shaped coffee for himself, and Lin Xi didn't mind and agreed directly.
After returning home, Xiao Yi Cheng started investigating Cheng Yao because he now had a love rival.
