Episode 9 recap: Lin Mengchen couldn't sleep because of the murder.
Ye Xiaosheng held Lin Mengchen for a while and, seeing that she was calmer, asked her to go to the treatment room to deal with her wounds. Dr. Ge asked Lin Mengchen to take off her clothes, which she couldn't accept as she had never exposed her body in front of others. She looked to Ye Xiaosheng for help, and he personally applied medicine to her, feeling a great deal of heartache as he looked at her wounds. The accidental eye contact between the two made Ye Xiaosheng develop feelings for his disciple, but he convinced himself that it was probably just because his disciple resembled his sister, Lin Mengchen.
After leaving the compensation for this job, Ye Xiaosheng departed. When Lin Mengchen returned home, she found that Ye Xiaosheng had already prepared a pile of gifts for her. She remembered that Ye Xiaosheng had always been like this before, and she used to believe that he really went out to purchase goods. Now she knew that his money was earned through dangerous means, and her heart ached for him. This time, she also prepared a gift for Ye Xiaosheng—a pocket watch—which he cherished and wore.
Lin Mengchen took the initiative to teach Ye Xiaosheng how to dance, and the two of them danced gracefully in the courtyard, enjoying this rare moment. At night, Lin Mengchen couldn't fall asleep as she recalled the scene of her first murder. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees, unable to sleep. The next day, she couldn't participate in training, and Ye Xiaosheng found her in the theater, looking at her haggard appearance. He persuaded her to rest for a while, and in order to put Lin Mengchen's mind at ease, he stayed with her the whole time.
