Episode 17 recap: Gu Xun's broken promise angered Yue Qian Ling.
Gu Xun seized the opportunity in the tea room to tell Yue Qian Ling that she could discuss any issues with him at any time. Yue Qian Ling confirmed that Gu Xun was jealous of Su Zheng and felt very pleased with herself. While discussing work with her colleagues, Yue Qian Ling received a sudden phone call from her mother asking her to attend a comedy show. The tickets were for couples and specifically purchased. Yue Qian Ling didn't want to casually go on a date with a stranger, but her mother made it clear that she wanted to help Yue Qian Ling with Gu Xun, who she believed had caught Yue Qian Ling's eye. Yue Qian Ling immediately guessed that her mother was arranging a date between her and Gu Xun and agreed. In preparation for the date, Yue Qian Ling dressed herself up carefully. Huang Jie noticed her excitement and gave her a new pure desire dress to wear, and even helped her with her hair.
Gu Xun received a phone call from his mother, informing him that he was going to meet a girl who worked in artificial intelligence that night. He used his busy work schedule as an excuse and declined the invitation. After hanging up the phone, he saw the promotional video sent by Hou Liang, which caught his attention and sparked the idea of adding interactive features. Jiang Junnan advised Gu Xun not to do so because he was scheduled to compete with Jiang Yi Shi the next day. If he couldn't release the promotional video in time, he would likely lose the competition and miss out on the exhibition space.
Jiang Junnan went out on a date, so Gu Xun tidied up and prepared to leave work. He noticed a memo on Yue Qian Ling's desk about tonight's comedy show, and immediately thought that she might be the girl he was supposed to meet. He quickly called his mother to confirm and learned that it was indeed Yue Qian Ling. He rushed over to the theater.
Yue Qian Ling waited at the theater entrance for a long time. She wanted to call Gu Xun but was afraid of appearing too anxious. She kept waiting until the show started but didn't see him. She couldn't help but suspect that she had been delusional. Gu Xun checked the time and realized that the show had already started, but he was stuck in traffic and couldn't move. He anxiously called Yue Qian Ling, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach her. Yue Qian Ling's phone was turned off because she was heartbroken. Gu Xun had no choice but to wait downstairs in the residential area. Finally, he saw Yue Qian Ling returning and immediately went up to greet her. However, Yue Qian Ling was still angry and didn't want to talk to him. Gu Xun had no choice but to follow Yue Qian Ling, hoping for another chance to explain.
When Yue Qian Ling arrived at her doorstep, she remembered that the lock was broken. She wanted to call a locksmith but realized her phone was out of battery and couldn't make any calls. She had no choice but to borrow a power bank from Gu Xun and then call someone to unlock the door. The locksmith knew she was in a hurry and demanded a high price. Yue Qian Ling initially didn't want to pay, but when she saw Gu Xun, who had stood her up, her anger flared up. She immediately agreed to pay whatever amount the locksmith asked, as long as he could get her home that night.
The locksmith unlocked the door, and Yue Qian Ling ignored Gu Xun and didn't want to talk to him. Unexpectedly, the locksmith mistook Gu Xun for her boyfriend and pushed him inside, then closed the door, saying that he had fixed it and would leave soon. However, Yue Qian Ling wanted to get Gu Xun out but found that the door couldn't be opened at all. She couldn't help but feel frustrated and asked Gu Xun to turn his face away.
Gu Xun looked at the fiery Yue Qian Ling and could only temporarily avoid her anger. Accidentally stepping on a magazine on the floor, he slipped and knelt directly in front of Yue Qian Ling. Seeing this scene, Yue Qian Ling immediately softened. Gu Xun admitted his mistake and begged Yue Qian Ling for a chance to explain. He explained that he didn't know that his blind date was Yue Qian Ling, and as soon as he found out, he rushed over. However, Yue Qian Ling's phone couldn't be reached.
Feeling wronged, Yue Qian Ling's eyes turned red. Gu Xun held her in his arms, but he still couldn't calm her down. He suggested that she take a shower first. While Gu Xun was retrieving his clothes from the wardrobe, he noticed the sketch of himself and remembered when Yue Qian Ling confessed her feelings, saying that she had always liked him. He understood where her grievances came from and decided not to let her be hurt anymore.
When Yue Qian Ling woke up, she looked at Gu Xun sleeping on the sofa and couldn't help but be captivated by his long eyelashes. She reached out to touch them, but Gu Xun opened his eyes and startled her. In her panic, her hair got caught in the zipper of the pillow. Yue Qian Ling desperately pulled it backward, but Gu Xun held her and told her not to move. He untangled her hair, and Yue Qian Ling's heart was pounding like a deer. As soon as she was free, she quickly ran away.
Gu Xun requested a five-day delay in releasing the promotional video, which caused a great objection from the board members. However, Gu Xun had confidence in making a better promotional video and was willing to bear all the consequences. Knowing the immense pressure Gu Xun was under, Yue Qian Ling intentionally told him some jokes to help him relax. She also gave him a hug to ease his tension and actively assisted him. In the end, her suggestions became a breakthrough and led everyone in a better direction.
