Episode 10 recap: Misunderstandings Between Tang Yang and Jiang Shi Yan
In Episode 10, Tang Yang, feeling bored, decides to visit Jiang Shi Yan's company. Coincidentally, the team is brainstorming for their next show theme. Hearing that everyone is dissatisfied with their ideas, Tang Yang recalls a delicious fried rice dish made from leftover rice by Zhang Zhi Lan. He suggests a cooking competition called "Leftover Challenge," which everyone finds appealing and suitable for the fast-paced lives of young people. They quickly agree on this theme.
Jiang Shi Yan invites Tang Yang to stay for a company meal. While browsing the food stalls, Tang Yang overhears a colleague asking about his relationship with Jiang Shi Yan. Jiang Shi Yan quickly reiterates that they are just close friends, and Feng Wei Ran chimes in, emphasizing that their bond is purely platonic to avoid any misunderstandings.
Tang Yang feels a sudden pang of disappointment upon hearing this. It seems Jiang Shi Yan has always viewed her as just a buddy and is deliberately distancing themselves in front of others. Losing interest, Tang Yang asks a colleague to inform Jiang Shi Yan that she has to leave for a work meeting and won't be joining for lunch.
Back home, Tang Yang holds the dessert box that Jiang Shi Yan had given her. Although it contains her favorite pastries, she recalls Jiang Shi Yan's comments about their relationship and decides to keep her distance to avoid future heartbreak.
As usual, Jiang Shi Yan picks Tang Yang up from the bank after work. Seeing such a handsome guy, Tang Yang's colleagues cast envious glances. Tang Yang flatly tells Jiang Shi Yan not to pick her up anymore to avoid misunderstandings about their relationship.
Hearing this for the first time, Jiang Shi Yan feels hurt. Back at the office, he discusses Tang Yang's comments with Cheng Hui and Feng Wei Ran, who exchange concerned looks. They sense something is off; Tang Yang, who usually doesn't care what others think, is suddenly being cautious. Feng Wei Ran speculates that Tang Yang might have developed an interest in someone else and worries that Jiang Shi Yan's frequent pickups could affect her romantic prospects.
This theory leaves Jiang Shi Yan even more unsettled. Lately, it seems that Tang Yang is often out without him and vice versa. Even Feng Wei Ran and Jiang Ya Nan notice this pattern.
One day, Jiang Shi Yan overhears that Tang Yang is looking at apartments with a senior, raising his suspicions about their relationship. He immediately calls her, but during the call, he learns that Tang Yang has been in an accident. He rushes to the scene just in time to find several drunken men vandalizing her car, shouting and causing a scene.
