Episode 6 recap: Xie Shi Hears Xu Mu Being Slandered
In episode 6, Xu Mu accompanies Xie Shi downstairs, only to find that Xie Shi's colleagues were already waiting, making for an incredibly awkward situation. In the car, Xie Shi shakes his head disapprovingly at the report. Xu Mu sees Supervisor Liao's dejected demeanor and realizes that this must be because Xie Shi had earlier said he wouldn't even look at the proposal. Xu Mu decides he needs to appease Xie Shi later that evening.
As soon as Xie Shi gets home, Xu Mu busies himself preparing dinner. When Xie Shi tastes it, his expression says it all - poor Xu Mu. It turns out Xie Shi already knew the proposal had fallen through, suspecting someone had sabotaged it behind the scenes. He's looking into it, warming Xu Mu's heart.
Meanwhile, Song Nian Nian's novel has been criticized by her editor for lacking romance. She has zero personal experience with love, so how is she supposed to write sweet, affectionate love stories? Xu Mu encourages her to go experience romance, even if just by watching dramas. Song Nian Nian says she doesn't want to, but deep down she's quite curious.
Song Nian Nian ends up binge-watching dramas at a cafe, only snapping out of it when Shen Yi arrives. When Shen Yi asks if she likes him, her face turns bright red. She complains about not being able to capture the feeling of romance, and to her delight, Shen Yi says he can help. But Shen Yi's theoretical knowledge far exceeds his practical skills, as evidenced by his comical tumble off the chair.
Undeterred, Shen Yi takes Song Nian Nian to take couple photos, visit a haunted house, and go on an impromptu trip. But the photo shoot is panned, Shen Yi gets terrified in the haunted house, and they get lost on the trip, with Song Nian Nian angrily scolding him. Online, Song Nian Nian discovers Shen Yi's "techniques" are all from the internet - he's just as much a love novice as she is.
On Xu Mu's side, Supervisor Liao has assigned a new team member, Fang Jing Jing, who doesn't get along with Xu Mu. Fang Jing Jing deliberately provokes Xu Mu, irritating him to no end. During the project meeting, Fang Jing Jing hogs the spotlight and prevents Xu Mu from presenting the proposal. Xu Mu is hungry and fed up with Fang Jing Jing's brown-nosing.
Coincidentally, Xie Shi is also at a work function and overhears Fang Jing Jing badmouthing Xu Mu behind his back. Xie Shi immediately shuts her down, declaring Xu Mu as his girlfriend and leaving abruptly. The others are intimidated by Xie Shi's domineering display. Back home, Xie Shi cooks a delicious meal for Xu Mu. The next day, Supervisor Liao announces the project is back in their hands.
As for Song Nian Nian and Shen Yi, the antics continue. Shen Yi gets bullied by some kids and his sweater gets torn. When Song Nian Nian steps in, her powerful presence leaves Shen Yi spellbound, despite her scolding him. Though frustrated, Song Nian Nian can't stay mad at him.
