Episode 9 recap: Yin Guo took Lin Yi Yang to meet the coaches.

With a nervous heart, Yin Guo sent a nationwide message to Lin Yi Yang, asking if he had any other girlfriend overseas. However, because Lin Yi Yang didn't reply to the message on the subway, Yin Guo became worried. After a while, when Yin Guo finally received a positive response from Lin Yi Yang, he felt relieved but still a bit anxious. Immediately, he grabbed his clothes and prepared to go out to find Lin Yi Yang.

Yin Guo went to meet his coach and brought Lin Yi Yang to the billiards room. To his surprise, Yin Guo's senior brothers also came along to support and cheer for him. Among the senior brothers, there was one named Li Qing Yan who had feelings for Yin Guo. Seeing Lin Yi Yang and Yin Guo being sweet together made him jealous.

Yin Guo went to meet his coach, leaving behind Lin Yi Yang and his many senior brothers and sisters. Upon seeing Lin Yi Yang, they were filled with hostility and even came over to provoke him, wanting to see his skills. Initially, Lin Yi Yang didn't want to compete against them and deliberately avoided playing billiards. However, under the instigation of the others, Lin Yi Yang didn't want to embarrass Yin Guo and agreed to play. Through the rules explained by Lin Yi Yang, everyone could tell that he was an experienced player. Lin Yi Yang's skills impressed many people present. One of Yin Guo's senior sisters secretly left to find Yin Guo.

After meeting with the coach, Yin Guo inquired about Lin Yi Yang's information. From the coach, Yin Guo learned that Lin Yi Yang had better results than his own brother in the past, but there were no prizes or much money involved at that time. At this moment, a senior sister came over to tell Yin Guo that Lin Yi Yang was being harassed by many senior brothers but was currently gaining the upper hand. However, they were only using basic training methods.

After learning about Lin Yi Yang's approach, the coach understood that he intentionally chose basic training methods to take care of his own disciples' psychology, as they were all preparing for a competition and couldn't afford to have their mindset affected before the big event. After coming out with the coach to meet Lin Yi Yang, the coach praised Lin Yi Yang in front of the disciples. Yin Guo was afraid of leaving Lin Yi Yang there, as he might continue to be troubled by everyone, so he quickly found an excuse to take Lin Yi Yang away. The coach also praised Lin Yi Yang, which filled Yin Guo with pride.

Lin Yi Yang took Yin Guo to the rooftop, and during this brief moment, they kissed each other.

Both of them felt reluctant to part when they separated. After parting ways with Lin Yi Yang, Yin Guo gathered courage and sent a message to inquire about Lin Yi Yang's sincerity and whether he had another girlfriend. Lin Yi Yang expressed his loyalty to Yin Guo, and upon receiving his response, Yin Guo became excited and prepared to personally go to the station to send off Lin Yi Yang.

Due to Lin Yi Yang's excessive exertion, his physical condition had deteriorated, and he fell ill. When he returned, he went straight to bed to rest without sending a message to let Yin Guo know he was safe. Yin Guo kept looking at his phone, waiting for a message from Lin Yi Yang.

Yin Guo's teammates, who lived together with them, saw how worried Yin Guo was about their long-distance relationship. When Yin Guo returned to the country, they would be even further apart. However, Yin Guo was mentally prepared because both of them had already started and should bravely face the challenges.

It was midnight when Lin Yi Yang woke up and saw the message. He quickly replied to let Yin Guo know he was safe. However, Yin Guo was concerned because Lin Yi Yang replied so late, thinking that he might have encountered some trouble. But Lin Yi Yang was feeling unwell and fell asleep after sending the message, without seeing Yin Guo's subsequent messages.

The next day, when Yin Guo woke up again, he saw his brother and Jiang Yang present. Upon seeing them, Meng Xiao Dong asked about the development of Yin Guo and Lin Yi Yang's relationship. Since Meng Xiao Dong and Jiang Yang jointly managed the billiards room, the two teams trained together. While Yin Guo was practicing, Lin Lin kept staring at him.
