Episode 10 recap: Qi Heng Yi's Troubles
In this episode, Peng Ying Xiang is enjoying a lively conversation when his stomach unexpectedly growls. Laughing, he calls over Cheng Han Yue to inform Old Wang to prepare some food. Cheng Han Yue quickly brings out a large spread of dishes, which makes Peng Ying Xiang wonder if they have enough food to last them. Cheng Han Yue explains that it’s too late to disturb Old Wang, and he made all the dishes himself.
Surprised but impressed, Peng Ying Xiang didn’t realize Cheng Han Yue had such culinary skills. Cheng Han Yue even serves him some spicy and sour shredded potatoes for a taste, but Peng Ying Xiang insists he can serve himself.
At that moment, Qi Heng Yi walks by and feels somewhat relieved to see Peng Ying Xiang eating normally. However, he soon enters a bar and unknowingly falls into a trap set by William Sun. William has tampered with Qi Heng Yi's drink and seizes the opportunity to take him away, not only assaulting him but also forcibly injecting him with drugs.
The next morning, Qi Heng Yi wakes up in shock, unable to comprehend the horrific act William has committed against him. To make matters worse, he realizes he has been injected with a high dose of heroin and is now addicted. He confronts William, asking why they couldn’t just communicate, but William mocks him, citing emotional entanglements and threatening that if Qi Heng Yi goes to the police, it will ruin his family’s reputation.
Feeling a mix of emotions, Qi Heng Yi wants to leave but has to stop his car unexpectedly on the roadside, where he tries to dispose of the drugs. When a traffic officer arrives, he has to come up with a story to diffuse the situation temporarily. Throughout this, Peng Ying Xiang observes Qi Heng Yi’s distress and tries to enter his room, but is told it’s a private matter.
Peng Ying Xiang insists that Qi Heng Yi keep evidence of the incident, promising to support him no matter what happens, but Qi Heng Yi chooses to shoulder the burden alone. Cheng Han Yue also notices something is off with Qi Heng Yi but doesn’t know the details.
In despair, Qi Heng Yi reaches out to Zhao Jia Qi, sharing the brutal reality of his addiction and how he feels his life is ruined. Cheng Han Yue and Peng Ying Xiang arrive and head straight for the treatment room after confirming Qi Heng Yi isn’t in the hospital. Understanding Qi Heng Yi’s significance, Peng Ying Xiang promises to keep things confidential, but when he tries to enter, he is refused. Ultimately, he leaves, allowing Qi Heng Yi to remain with Zhao Jia Qi.
On another note, Wang Rui Jie discusses her future with Yan Jun. She expresses her desire to invest three years in her special forces career, saying they can reconsider their relationship after that time if Yan Jun's feelings remain unchanged. Yan Jun is confused and even gathers his teammates to discuss Wang Rui Jie’s intentions, leading to some exasperation among them. Meanwhile, a marriage application has been submitted for approval. The instructor is pleased but notes it needs to be reported to the higher-ups. Zhao Jia Qi's arrival suggests that another storm may be brewing.
