Episode 4 recap: Xie Shi and Xu Mu Reach a Love Contract
In Episode 4, as soon as Xu Mu arrived, Xie Shi's eyes lit up, and he even personally put a necklace on her. Although it was just a pretense to meet the parents, Xu Mu was still a little nervous. When they got to the banquet, they ran into the woman from before, who started complaining to Xu Mu. And to make things more interesting, Xu Mu also encountered her previous blind date, who claimed to have snuck in with a free ticket and wanted to introduce her to Xie Shi again, which almost made Xu Mu laugh.
While Xu Mu was venting about these bizarre blind date experiences with Song Nian Nian, Xie Shi came over. Xie Shi's aunt immediately took a liking to Xu Mu, but the girl next to her, named Xi Xi, acted like an innocent little bunny and deliberately said that Xu Mu and Xie Shi had been in a relationship for a year. She even accidentally let slip that Xu Mu had just been on a blind date.
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward, and Xie Shi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying that he had not given Xu Mu a strong enough sense of security. He also revealed that he had been Xu Mu's high school classmate and had liked her since then, leaving Xi Xi with nothing else to say.
Xu Mu didn't expect the meeting with the parents to be so heartwarming, and she also learned from Xie Shi that his mother had passed away at a young age, which is why he changed his name to Jiang Zhou.
At this point, Xu Mu's mom called, mistakenly thinking she was in a relationship. Xu Mu initially wanted to deny it, but then she realized that would lead to more blind dates, so she went along with it. Xie Shi proposed that they sign a contract to pretend to be a couple, so her family wouldn't keep pushing her to get married. Xu Mu thought it was a good idea and agreed.
On the way home, Xu Mu suggested adding another clause to the contract: if either of them found someone they were interested in, they could cancel the agreement. Xie Shi readily agreed. Watching Xu Mu's retreating figure, Xie Shi couldn't help but smile.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi's father returned the car to him because of his good performance on a new project. Xu Mu had just shared this news with Song Nian Nian when she ran into Shen Yi driving a luxury car with someone else. Song Nian Nian thought Shen Yi was working as a chauffeur.
Song Nian Nian roped Shen Yi into being her assistant, on the condition that he didn't do any other work. Although Shen Yi complained that Song Nian Nian was silly, he still agreed to be her unpaid assistant, and Song Nian Nian felt like Shen Yi wasn't as annoying as she thought.
Xu Mu's mom wanted to see Xie Shi again, and Xu Mu was in a hurry to catch a cab, so she quickly video-called Xie Shi to reassure her mom. Xu Mu had even prepared a video in advance to prevent her mom from asking too many questions.
Back at home, Xu Mu's roommate had brought a friend to stay in Xu Mu's room, and Xu Mu was furious. At that moment, Xie Shi called, saying he had found Xu Mu's earphones in his car and came to help. Xie Shi dealt with the roommate's mess and then took Xu Mu home.
Xu Mu's mom felt bad for her daughter and said that Xu Mu should have found someone like Xie Shi as a housemate, a comment that Xie Shi took to heart.
Xu Mu was grateful for Xie Shi's help, and he even asked for her opinions while working. Xie Shi also proposed letting Xu Mu move in with him, saying his place was often empty since he traveled a lot. Xu Mu readily agreed.
The next day, Xu Mu went out in her pajamas and ran into Xie Shi, quickly going back to change. Xie Shi drove Xu Mu to work, and she forgot her bag, which was seen by her coworkers, further solidifying their relationship. Soon, Xu Mu moved into Xie Shi's place, and the home became quite lively. Xu Mu said this was her first time living with a man, and she jokingly teased Xie Shi for always speaking in contradictions. Seeing Xu Mu's fondness for cats, Xie Shi couldn't help but smile.
