Episode 9 recap: Gu Xun approached Yue Qian Ling to invite her to join the Ninth Division, but she refused without hesitation
Gu Xun tried to persuade her and asked her to reconsider, but Yue Qian Ling remained firm in her refusal Gu Xun had no choice but to leave As Yue Qian Ling watched him walk away, she felt a bit disappointed However, to her surprise, Gu Xun didn't actually leave He approached her from another direction and continued to persuade her, hoping that she would give it some serious thought After all, there is a clear distinction between personal and professional matters Gu Xun had a high opinion of Yue Qian Ling's abilities, but she still declined
When Yue Qian Ling firmly rejected Gu Xun, it was clear that she was actually interested in joining the Ninth Division. Yin Xue understood her feelings and realized that she hadn't fully recovered from emotional trauma. While drinking her milk tea and picking up a package, Yue Qian Ling was surprised to find that the package was unusually large. She struggled to carry it, and at that moment, Gu Xun happened to come by to pick up his own package. He wanted to help but jokingly said he would only carry the milk tea. Yue Qian Ling immediately insisted on carrying it herself, but the large package obstructed her view, and she nearly bumped into people and obstacles several times. Gu Xun acted like a guide dog, leading the way for Yue Qian Ling. This attracted criticism from passersby, particularly from an older woman who scolded him for not helping as a man. Yue Qian Ling secretly laughed at the situation and eventually gave in, allowing Gu Xun to help. Together, they carried the package to the back door. Gu Xun then discovered that Yue Qian Ling had bought a foldable dog house for a stray dog. He offered to assemble it, suggesting that she go ahead while he finished the job. However, when they opened the package, they realized that it required complete assembly and they didn't have the necessary tools. Gu Xun quickly fetched a toolbox and started working. The assembly took the entire day, and Gu Xun was still not finished by the evening. Yue Qian Ling was still angry, and she secretly wished for rain, just as it had rained on the day she confessed her feelings and got rejected. As if on cue, the sky darkened, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down. Yue Qian Ling hesitated whether to give Gu Xun an umbrella, but by the time she decided to do so, she realized Gu Xun was no longer there. She thought he had abandoned the half-assembled dog house and felt disappointed. However, Gu Xun had simply gone to get an umbrella and returned to continue working. He was determined to finish the job that night. However, the wind and rain continued to work against him, repeatedly blowing the umbrella away and drenching Gu Xun. Seeing this, Yue Qian Ling took the initiative to hold the umbrella for him, pretending to be stern and telling him not to look at her. In reality, she kept stealing glances at him. At this moment, her attitude softened, and Gu Xun was very happy that Yue Qian Ling was finally willing to get closer to him. Seizing the opportunity, he once again invited her to join the Ninth Division. To his surprise, Yue Qian Ling had already left, leaving behind the words "You're dreaming" on the umbrella. Gu Xun couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
Yue Qian Ling shared her frustrations with her gaming buddies, Luotuo and Jiang Junnan. They didn't know that it was Gu Xun who had extended an olive branch to Yue Qian Ling, unknowingly setting a trap for him. They were unaware that it was because of Gu Xun that Yue Qian Ling had become interested in the AAA game industry, particularly in the game "Xia Lu." Although her abilities had gained recognition from Gu Xun, she still had some doubts and worried that she would be a burden in the Ninth Division, where everyone was extremely skilled. Everyone immediately encouraged Yue Qian Ling to give it a try, but they insisted that she let go of her anger first. Gu Xun couldn't help but smile wryly at the situation.
Gu Xun was delighted to discover that Yue Qian Ling was learning 3A painting for him. He felt that the fried chicken tasted especially delicious today, and even the water was sweet. However, Yue Qian Ling was unhappy because her takeout had been lost. When Gu Xun found out, he accompanied Yue Qian Ling to check the surveillance footage. To their surprise, Gu Xun had actually taken her takeout. Yue Qian Ling thought about the dolls she wanted to collect and didn't let Gu Xun off the hook. She not only made him rummage through the trash bin but also demanded that he sincerely compensate her by collecting a complete set for her.
Gu Xun promised Yue Qian Ling that he wouldn't buy the dolls at a high price just to make up the numbers. As a result, he ended up ordering fried chicken one by one, and he was already sick of eating it. Jiang Junnan also ended up feeling sick from eating so much, and even the cleaning aunt couldn't stand it when she saw Gu Xun. Finally, they managed to collect all eight dolls. When Yue Qian Ling saw Gu Xun's sincerity, she started to wear down Jiang Yishi. She managed to persuade Jiang Yishi to allow her to study in the Ninth Division under the condition that she completed her regular duties. Yue Qian Ling didn't know that Jiang Yishi agreed because Gu Xun had provided him with irresistible benefits.
Yue Qian Ling eagerly reported to the Ninth Division. As soon as she entered, she felt thirsty and wanted to drink water. Gu Xun happened to be logged into the game using the school hunk's account, and he was worried that Yue Qian Ling might see him. He cornered her against the wall, but Jiang Junnan walked in just in time, and Yue Qian Ling quickly ran away. Gu Xun managed to keep his identity as the school hunk a secret.
During lunchtime, Yue Qian Ling still hadn't recovered from being cornered by Gu Xun. She couldn't face him, so she accidentally spilled her drink on Gu Xun. Gu Xun took advantage of the situation and added Yue Qian Ling on WeChat. He learned that Yue Qian Ling had returned to her hometown to get her driver's license and meet up with her childhood friend, who was interested in pursuing her. This made Gu Xun feel anxious.
