Episode 2 recap: Yue Qian Ling returned to work near Gu Xun.
Yue Qian Ling couldn't stand the way Xiaobaihua spoke, as told by Yin Xue. But now men like that tone, so for Gu Xun's sake, Yue Qian Ling decided to learn how to be like Xiaobaihua. Just as Yue Qian Ling was excited about her top-ranking image on the leaderboard, someone approached her for a commission and offered a high price of 30,000 yuan per image, which was ten times the usual rate. Yue Qian Ling couldn't help but marvel at how effective being on the leaderboard was. In a playful manner, Yin Xue jokingly asked Yue Qian Ling to support her in Xiaobaihua style, which scared Yue Qian Ling and gave her goosebumps.
Huang Jie found Yue Qian Ling's gloves in the company and called her early in the morning. Yue Qian Ling initially thought of just mailing them back, but when she realized that Gu Xun was in the company, she immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She quickly got up and dressed herself up in the style of Xiaobaihua. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the company, she ran into Gu Xun standing in the elevator. Yue Qian Ling's heart leapt with joy, and she rushed over. Gu Xun reached out and stopped the elevator, which made Yue Qian Ling think he was waiting for her. However, she didn't expect that Gu Xun was waiting for Jiang Junnan, who was buying coffee.
Yue Qian Ling suppressed her embarrassment and took the initiative to greet Gu Xun, but it seemed like Gu Xun didn't want to acknowledge her. In order to create more opportunities, Yue Qian Ling intentionally stuck her hair in the elevator door just as it was closing, pretending to be scared and asking for help. Gu Xun couldn't bear to see Yue Qian Ling like that and reached out to help her remove the hair.
Gu Xun still remembered Yue Qian Ling's resignation, which made Yue Qian Ling ecstatic. She decided to come back to the company for Gu Xun's sake. Yinjie had a good impression of Yue Qian Ling, but the company had a policy of not rehiring former employees. Thinking about Yue Qian Ling's abilities, Yinjie mentioned this to the boss, but Yue Qian Ling was just an intern concept artist, and the boss didn't pay much attention. Yinjie could only apologize.
Yin Jun heard that Yue Qian Ling wanted to come back to work and immediately criticized her in front of the team members. Unexpectedly, Yue Qian Ling was standing right behind him and heard everything clearly. She sarcastically retorted Yin Jun without mincing her words, leaving Yin Jun feeling frustrated.
Yin Jun believed that he understood male charm very well and rushed to draw a character illustration. However, when he uploaded it, it received negative feedback. Yue Qian Ling found the image quite greasy and couldn't understand where Yin Jun's confidence came from. Huang Jie called Yue Qian Ling specifically and mentioned that Yin Jun had a bad temper all afternoon because of the poor feedback on his illustration, and he ended up taking away the entire team's bonus. Huang Jie hoped that Yue Qian Ling could take on some freelance work, but she refused, as she needed to prepare for her upcoming graduation matters.
Yue Qian Ling needed to retake the lion dance exam, and Yin Xue, Gu Xun, and Jiang Junnan couldn't escape it either. One day, Yue Qian Ling and Yin Xue decided to practice together. When Yue Qian Ling arrived at the gymnasium, she saw someone's head hidden in the lion costume and mistakenly thought it was Yin Xue. She directly gave her suggestions, full of flavors. But when she realized it was Gu Xun, she immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
Gu Xun still remembered the real-life CS competition two years ago, where he saw Gu Qianxun, who had taken down his teammates, as a rookie. Gu Qianxun was both delighted that Gu Xun recognized her and upset that she was seen as a rookie in his eyes. When she returned to the dormitory, she blamed Yin Xue for standing her up, otherwise, she wouldn't have mistaken the person.
Gu Xun was very busy with work, but if he couldn't pass the lion dance exam, his 3A project would have to be put on hold. Therefore, he and Jiang Junnan practiced hard at the gymnasium. Yue Qian Ling and Yin Xue were also practicing, and their situation was worrisome. They were probably not going to pass. At that moment, Yin Xue saw Gu Xun and immediately suggested that Yue Qian Ling team up with Gu Xun, while she would team up with Jiang Junnan.
Yue Qian Ling decided to seize the opportunity to get closer to Gu Xun as a "Xiaobaihua" (a term referring to a cute and innocent girl). However, Gu Xun didn't like that at all. Yue Qian Ling's awkwardness and abnormal behavior made the teacher catch her in the act, and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to hide. Gu Xun was simply annoyed. Yue Qian Ling and Gu Xun teamed up to play games, with Yue Qian Ling pretending to be "Xiaobaihua" and Gu Xun as the popular guy. Yue Qian Ling was frustrated because she pretended to be "Xiaobaihua" all day and still lost the game, while Gu Xun was unhappy because he was forced to team up with "Xiaobaihua." Both of them played the game with anger, and they could sense that the other person was in a bad mood, but neither of them knew the other person's true identity.
In order to see Gu Xun more often, Yue Qian Ling started applying for jobs in the same building as Huacai. On the day she was interviewing, Yinjie suddenly called her. She answered the call after it rang multiple times, and unexpectedly learned that Huacai wanted her to come back and offered to increase her salary by three thousand yuan.
As soon as Yue Qian Ling returned to the company and completed the onboarding procedures, she learned that Yinjie needed to go to Gu Xun for his signature. She took the initiative to deliver the documents to Gu Xun on Yinjie's behalf, but Gu Xun didn't want to interact with her much and preferred to communicate directly with HR.
