Episode 10 recap: Chen Mai Dong got into a fight due to jealousy over a love rival.
Accompanied by her best friend, Zhuang Jie personally came to the store to pick out underwear for Chen Mai Dong. When Grandma Chen saw Zhuang Jie giving Chen Mai Dong underwear, she angrily scolded her grandson for being shameless, allowing an unmarried girl to buy underwear for him. She believed that someone like him should be sentenced to prison.
Chen Mai Dong realized that Grandma Chen liked Zhuang Jie, and he also began to take his own feelings seriously. He told her that as long as it was a girl she liked, he would marry her. There were some implied words that made Grandma Chen very happy.
However, Zhuang Jie's ex-boyfriend contacted her again, indicating that he had not yet let go of their relationship. Chen Mai Dong's good friend could see that he was developing feelings for Zhuang Jie, but he was worried that this rare occasion would quickly wither away. After all, Chen Mai Dong, being a typical "straight male," had issues with pleasing girls.
Nevertheless, Chen Mai Dong showed great care and tenderness towards Zhuang Jie, which surprised everyone. Early in the morning, Zhuang Jie was delivering food on a small electric scooter when she coincidentally encountered a funeral hearse. Chen Mai Dong called Zhuang Jie and reminded her to ride safely and not to overtake, considering the deceased should be respected and given way as much as possible.
After hanging up, Zhuang Jie received another call, thinking it was Chen Mai Dong, but to her surprise, it was Ji Tong, a man she had liked for three years. Ji Tong was Chen Mai Dong's boss, and he took care of her both in life and work, understanding her thoughts very well.
However, this nameless and ambiguous relationship had continued for three years and came to an end on the day when Chen Mai Dong made his feelings clear. Ji Tong left without a word and flew directly to the company's headquarters in France, leaving Chen Mai Dong alone and heartbroken. Now, Ji Tong suddenly called Zhuang Jie because he saw a photo of them kissing passionately at the train station through Wang Xi Xia, and he instantly felt threatened.
This phone call left Zhuang Jie feeling restless. After all, three years of emotions cannot be forgotten in an instant. Therefore, she was absent-minded during her live stream, and even He Niao Niao could tell that something was bothering her. He Niao Niao believed that Ji Tong was not a suitable match for Zhuang Jie. What she needed was not icing on the cake but someone like Chen Mai Dong, who could provide comfort and support, helping her overcome the pain of losing loved ones.
Understanding her little sister's meaning, Zhuang Jie's mood suddenly improved. The next day, she took Wang Xi Xia to the city to help Chen Mai Dong pick out clothes and underwear, coincidentally encountering Cui Ge, a blind date that Wang Xi Xia had rejected, who happened to have a brief encounter with Zhuang Jie in the past. Cui Ge came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
Chen Mai Dong tried on the clothes that Zhuang Jie had bought for him in his room. Grandma Chen saw this and was delighted. She also discovered a brand new package of underwear. When Grandma Chen learned that Chen Mai Dong had asked Zhuang Jie to buy underwear for him, she became angry and scolded her grandson for being shameless. She couldn't believe he would make an unmarried girl do such a thing, and she believed someone like him should be sentenced to prison.
Listening to Grandma Chen's complaints, Chen Mai Dong suddenly asked her if she really liked Zhuang Jie. After getting her confirmation, he allowed her to choose a daughter-in-law according to her preferences. As long as it was someone she approved of, he would marry her. Grandma Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly went to tell Grandma Lin about this, and the two of them went on a hike to talk about life and gained new insights.
Now, Chen Mai Dong started to confront his inner feelings and went to Zhang Hong Xu's wife for help in making some leg pain patches. Zhang Hong Xu's wife readily agreed, but Zhang Hong Xu found it strange and was worried that this rare opportunity would quickly fade away. After all, Zhuang Jie, a woman who had experienced life in a big city, was not meant for a small town like Nanping. It would be difficult to make her stay.
Wang Xi Xia stayed in Nanping for a few days and had to return to Shanghai. Zhuang Jie personally took her to the train station and told her to consider Cui Ge. This kind of man was wealthy and came from a good family, so it wouldn't hurt to get to know him. However, Zhuang Jie didn't expect Ji Tong to suddenly come to Nanping and even find her family's braised chicken shop. She could only reluctantly agree to meet him at a coffee shop.
That evening, Liao Tao was sulking at home, complaining that his daughter didn't tell him about her boyfriend. He also felt that this kind of man seemed unreliable and worried that his daughter would be deceived. He Niao Niao sensed her mother's anger and secretly sent a text message to Zhuang Jie, warning her to be careful and come back safely.
At that moment, Zhuang Jie and Ji Tong were having a conversation in the restaurant. Ji Tong was trying to salvage their relationship and every word he spoke reflected his intentions. As they were talking, someone opened the door and a cold breeze blew in, chilling Zhuang Jie's left leg. She couldn't help but remind Ji Tong to close the door. However, Ji Tong completely ignored this and continued to justify his decision to go to France, emphasizing that it was for their future. But Zhuang Jie knew deep down that he and his family would find it difficult to accept a wife with a leg disability.
Chen Mai Dong prepared some leg pain patches for Zhuang Jie and wrote a note with instructions. He originally wanted to deliver them to her but found out that she was at the restaurant. Ji Tong went out to take a phone call and carelessly left the door open, disregarding the effect of the cold breeze on Zhuang Jie. On the contrary, Chen Mai Dong saw this scene and took off his jacket to cover Zhuang Jie's leg, suppressing his jealousy, and handed her the patches before riding away on his bike.
It was through this incident that Zhuang Jie saw the true difference between Chen Mai Dong and Ji Tong, and she decisively rejected Ji Tong's confession. Back home, Zhuang Jie comforted her mother not to overthink things. She and Ji Tong were at most colleagues, but her heart was filled with Chen Mai Dong, who was seemingly proud and cold but actually gentle and kind.
At the same time, Ci Wei came with his people to cause trouble, and Chen Mai Dong, who had been suppressing his anger, ended up fighting him on the spot.
