Episode 2 recap: Mu Di's tinnitus disappeared as she played the suona at the funeral.
Upon hearing that it was a funeral, Mu Di turned around and tried to leave, but Bai Lang stopped her. Mu Di didn't want to take on the job, but Bai Lang persuaded her relentlessly, asking her to stay and help Mr. Liu play the suona. Eventually, Mu Di was convinced and demanded that her performance fee be increased from five hundred to one thousand. Bai Lang agreed, and Mu Di asked him to take off his black suit jacket and give it to her. Understanding her intention, Bai Lang draped Mu Di's red dress with the black jacket.
The mourning ceremony began, and Mu Di felt a bit nervous about her tinnitus. However, to her surprise, she didn't experience any ringing in her ears throughout the event. She played in harmony with the other instruments, and Mu Di was extremely excited, believing that she had recovered. She decided to return to Beijing to prove herself and reclaim everything that belonged to her. Qu Wen Wen found William sitting by the water and relayed a message from William's mother. First, she demanded that William return home immediately, or else she would freeze his bank account. Second, she insisted that he must meet the blind date she arranged for him. William scoffed and asked who Qu Wen Wen was. Qu Wen Wen took out her phone and played a voice message from William's mother to prove the authenticity of her words. Afterward, she introduced herself to William and urged him to go home, mentioning that his family would give him one million to pursue music. If he didn't make progress, he should return home to inherit the family business. William didn't say much in response and simply left, turning around to say, "I will definitely succeed in making music."
Mu's mother visited the couple, Mu Tong and his wife, but they were stopped by people who were delivering gifts in the east. Inadvertently, they revealed that Mu Di had observed Liu Sheng's hand. Mu's mother declined the gifts and, along with Mu's father, asked about Mu Di's illness. Mu Tong had no choice but to tell them the truth. Mu Tong comforted his parents, instructing them not to show any signs of knowing about the matter. Mu's parents agreed.
With her phone out of battery and turned off, Mu Di had to walk alone on the road. She recalled regretting declining Bai Lang's offer of a ride. After walking for a while, a car approached from behind. Mu Di quickly flagged them down, and it turned out to be Bai Lang and Huang Jin. Bai Lang taunted Mu Di a little, but she had no choice and reluctantly got in their car.
During the journey, Bai Lang and Huang Jin's old car had an accident and broke down. They had no intention of calling for help or fixing the car, planning to wait until morning and take a bus back. Mu Di was speechless. She borrowed Bai Lang's phone to let her family know she was safe, but to her surprise, Bai Lang's phone was also out of battery. She then asked Huang Jin, but his phone was in the same situation. The three of them made the best of the situation, enjoying themselves by the roadside as they started a fire and ate chicken. Huang Jin introduced their company, "Xiao Cheng Gu Shi Duo" (Many Stories in a Small City), which had two subsidiaries: "Xiao Cheng Xi Shi Duo" (Many Happy Occasions in a Small City) and "Xiao Cheng Bai Shi Duo" (Many Sad Occasions in a Small City). After sharing some stories, Bai Lang asked Mu Di why she learned to play the suona. Mu Di told them how she fell in love with the instrument, and after a few exchanges, they finally got on the truck that came to pick them up—a truck loaded with chickens. Mu Di felt nauseous as she sat in the truck, enduring hardships. Finally, they arrived in the city. Mu Di hailed a taxi and left without even saying goodbye to Bai Lang and the others, leaving them to complain that Mu Di wasn't even willing to accompany them for a short distance.
Mu Di's parents brought her to Uncle Fisherman's place for a break. They were all happy on the boat, catching fish, but Mu Di got seasick and couldn't even stand up. Qu Wen Wen went to the bar to test if William was taking the blind date seriously on behalf of his parents. William didn't recognize Qu Wen Wen with her mask on and brushed her off. Qu Wen Wen directly reported the situation to William's mother using her phone. When William saw Qu Wen Wen's face, he remembered her. Qu Wen Wen introduced herself as his blind date and demanded respect. At that moment, a girl playfully laid in William's arms, and Qu Wen Wen's bodyguard immediately pulled the girl away. William was speechless, and the two of them officially began their blind date. They both gave detailed self-introductions, and after listening, Qu Wen Wen announced the end of the blind date and told William to wait for her notification before leaving.
Shen De Bao found Huang Jin and introduced him to a job involving a sea burial. Huang Jin initially wanted to discuss it with Bai Lang, but Shen De Bao stopped him. After some provocative words, Huang Jin signed the contract. The contract stated that regardless of who breached it, they would have to pay ten times the penalty to the other party.
Huang Jin called Bai Lang to the seaside and cautiously told him about the sea burial. As soon as Bai Lang heard it, he started hitting Huang Jin. Bai Lang, along with Huang Jin, confronted Shen De Bao and questioned why he wanted to deceive Huang Jin. Shen De Bao innocently explained himself.
I'm really frustrated with the male lead. In the episode of the sea burial, after learning that it would be inauspicious for the fishing boat to conduct a funeral, the male lead chooses to rent the female lead's second uncle's boat by lying and deceiving.
After the funeral is over, due to competition among colleagues, the fact that a funeral was held on the boat is revealed, and the second uncle is unhappy. When the female lead confronts the male lead about it, he tries to defend himself in every possible way.
