Episode 9 recap: Liu Qi Meng and Sun Kai's Day Out Together Feels Like Old Friends Catching Up
In episode 9, Liu Xiu Ying sees Yangyang taking Liu Qi Meng out somewhere and is curious where they're going. When Yangyang sees Sun Kai, she acts really annoyed and even tries to curse him, saying he's about to have some bad luck. Liu Xiu Ying worries Yangyang will mess up Liu Qi Meng and Sun Kai's potential relationship, so she quickly takes Yangyang away to let Liu Qi Meng and Sun Kai talk.
Not far away, they suddenly hear a woman screaming from a parked car. Liu Xiu Ying thinks something serious must have happened and goes to check it out, with Yangyang reluctantly following along. They find that Wang Yi Ming and his wife were just arguing in the car. When Wang Yi Ming sees Liu Qi Meng, he gets scared and quickly drives off.
It turns out Liu Xiu Ying's soul is actually inhabiting Liu Qi Meng's body. She spends the day exploring the old streets with Sun Kai. Even though they're quite different in age, they have a great time chatting. They try to find a place to restore an old photo of Sun Kai's, but can't locate anywhere that can do it. Still, they don't give up and keep searching.
While shopping with Liu Xiu Ying, Yangyang notices she keeps bringing up how she used to take care of him when he was young, which seems strange to him. Even though Liu Xiu Ying is older, she still has a youthful spirit and wants to ride the carousel at the park. Yangyang records a video of her for Liu Qi Meng, but his attempt to confess his feelings gets him slapped away.
After their full day out, Liu Qi Meng and Sun Kai still haven't found anywhere to restore the photo. But when Liu Qi Meng gets home, she feels happy reminiscing about her childhood chats with Xiao Shami, realizing she and Sun Kai have a similar connection. Sun Kai feels the same way, like he's with his old friend Xiao Wukong when he's with Liu Xiu Ying.
The next morning, Liu Xiu Ying goes to work in Liu Qi Meng's place and gets angry that the neighbors she usually takes out are just sitting around doing nothing. She tells Liu Qi Meng to take them out. Afang takes Liu Xiu Ying to a seniors' activity, but Liu Qi Meng thinks it seems like a pyramid scheme, with them handing out eggs and rice to the elderly. However, Afang thinks it's fine.
When the two return home with the eggs, the neighbors start fighting over some small issue and accidentally break Afang's eggs. Afang is almost in tears, so Liu Qi Meng steps in to mediate, surprisingly managing to turn the fight into a mahjong game instead.
Just then, Xiao Qiang comes by with a basket of eggs for Afang since he heard her eggs got broken. Afang is grateful and goes back to the activity with him.
The neighbors ask Liu Qi Meng to join their mahjong game since they're one player short. Liu Qi Meng says she'll only play if they agree to quit gambling and learn to dance with her if she loses, or else she'll treat them to spicy skewers if she loses. Unfortunately, Liu Qi Meng isn't as skilled at mahjong as Liu Xiu Ying, and she ends up losing. She has to uphold her end of the deal and take them to dance lessons.
Yangyang is heartbroken after being rejected by Liu Qi Meng and drowns his sorrows in alcohol. While in a daze, he suddenly sees Sun Bai Fen appear before him.
