Episode 9 recap: Ji Lingsu gained recognition from the Lin family.

That evening, Lin's father played chess with Ji Lingsu. It was his third challenge, and Lin's father was well aware of Ji Lingsu's experiences from childhood to adulthood. When asked why he was interested in Lin Yumeng, Ji Lingsu expressed that it was Lin Yumeng's sincere and attractive personality. As they spoke, Ji Lingsu won a game against Lin's father. Lin's mother prepared a variety of dishes, even though Ji Lingsu couldn't handle alcohol and ended up completely drunk with Lin's father. They became like sworn brothers. At that moment, Lin's father wanted to fetch a precious item to show Ji Lingsu. They looked at the photo album in front of them and talked about Lin Yumeng's childhood memories.

As Lin's father looked at his daughter, whom he had raised since childhood, about to become someone's wife, he started crying and mentioned how Lin Yumeng had worked part-time at a martial arts gym in high school to support the family. Lin's mother specially stewed spare ribs for Ji Lingsu, and Lin Yumeng could see her mother's genuine affection for her future son-in-law, which made her very happy. In the middle of the night, Lin's mother prepared a hangover soup for Lin Yumeng and gave her a set of something to protect herself.

Lin Yumeng shyly covered her face. Lin's mother and father intentionally sailed to their daughter's room and happened to catch a glimpse of Ji Lingsu's abs. Lin's mother envied his good physique. When Lin Yumeng entered the room, she coincidentally encountered Ji Lingsu, who had just finished showering. For a moment, she became infatuated and awkwardly turned her head away. She instructed him to drink the hangover soup but forgot to take something next to the bowl. Ji Lingsu jokingly remarked that she had already had that idea, and he had wanted to escape. Lin Yumeng unintentionally bumped into his embrace, further arousing Ji Lingsu's suspicion that it was intentional on her part.
