Episode 10 recap: Pei Zhi Jie's Blind Date Debacle
Pei Zhi Jie, being of advanced age, has been constantly pressured to go on blind dates. When he met his potential match, he appeared rather reserved. However, when the other party expressed satisfaction with Pei Zhi Jie, he was quite pleased. But to his surprise, the other party pulled out three medical examination reports from their bag, stating that their family was all in excellent health.
Pei Zhi Jie also mentioned that he cares about maintaining his health, adheres to the principle of eating until he is seven-tenths full, and other health-conscious habits. But the other party dismissed these as merely folk beliefs about health, and insisted that scientific medical tests are the true indicator of health.
Pei Zhi Jie was perplexed by this response, and the other party directly requested that Pei Zhi Jie also bring his medical examination report to their next meeting. Hearing this, Pei Zhi Jie was momentarily taken aback, but then realized the other party was simply trying to mitigate risks.
Though inwardly reluctant, Pei Zhi Jie agreed. Back home, he asked Xu Xiaoquan how to get a medical exam done. Xu Xiaoquan used his own watch to test Pei Zhi Jie's heart rate and instructed him to go for a jog, though Pei Zhi Jie didn't fully understand the purpose. At the hospital, the doctor said Pei Zhi Jie's blood sugar was slightly high and advised him to watch his diet and rest.
When Pei Zhi Jie didn't eat dinner that evening, Lu Zhifei and Xu Xiaoquan found it strange. Pei Zhi Jie said he was preoccupied and left. The next morning, Pei Zhi Jie went out early to exercise, and Xu Xiaoquan eagerly tried to teach him some new movements, while Lu Zhifei observed that Xu Xiaoquan was oblivious to Pei Zhi Jie's true intentions, and offered to personally demonstrate the exercises to Pei Zhi Jie.
Lu Zhifei felt this was just the natural rapport between old partners, and Xu Xiaoquan, hearing this, also wanted to cultivate a similar sense of camaraderie with Wan Xia. Zhang Yuan also came to inquire about Pei Zhi Jie, who didn't speak but simply demonstrated a few movements, which Lu Zhifei translated. Zhang Yuan looked quite puzzled, and Lu Zhifei told him that Pei Zhi Jie said he was fine, then left as well.
After they had all gone, Pei Zhi Jie quickly clutched his growling stomach. During a talk show with Lu Zhifei, Pei Zhi Jie suddenly fainted, and the audience initially thought it was just part of the act, not realizing that Pei Zhi Jie had gone the whole day without dinner.
Pei Zhi Jie couldn't hide it from everyone anymore and had to admit that during the blind date, the other party had requested he undergo a medical exam. Wang Bo felt that even so, it was unwise to starve himself as it could lead to health issues. Xu Xiaoquan realized the root cause of Pei Zhi Jie's distress. Hearing that Pei Zhi Jie needed to lower his blood pressure, everyone became quite proactive in helping him.
When Wang Bo tried to teach Pei Zhi Jie arm exercises, Pei Zhi Jie couldn't pull it off, but Spring Sister completed the exercise with ease, which was quite discouraging for Pei Zhi Jie. Wan Xia cooked a meal for Pei Zhi Jie to help lower his blood pressure, which was successful. Feeling better, Pei Zhi Jie went to meet his blind date again, only to have the other party tell him it wouldn't work out after seeing the medical report, citing concerns about premature baldness after age 40. Pei Zhi Jie was momentarily stunned, regretting having done the genetic testing in the first place.
