Big transformations today for Mo Sheng: physically and emotionally. Plus, we get tons of cute scenes between Mo Sheng and Yi Chen.
Xiao Mei apologizes to Mo Sheng if her gift seems too
shabby. She retells the Yuan Feng tale and how he insulted her taste. Xiao Mei,
however, doesn’t refute she has bad taste, rather, her bad taste is a given since
she grew up in the village. Best buddy, Mo Sheng teases her too, “Don’t drag
down all the village girls with you just because you’re the only one with bad
taste.” Xiao Mei, we all love you, really.
That night, Yi Chen comes home to find cooking books
scattered all over his coffee table. He lurks around and finds Mo Sheng busying
the kitchen. She’s got fruits in one hand, scooper in the other and her eyes
are glued to the book. Yi Chen doesn’t make a sound as he admires the back view
of his wife.
Mo Sheng realizes she needs more tips on the soup she’s
making and decides to consult the internet but instead is stopped in her tracks
at the sight of Yi Chen casually leaning on the table watching her. She tells
him she’s making him soup and shyly asks if she can borrow his laptop.
He agrees without much hesitation, which I find is a huge
testament of his trust for her. I don’t know about you guys but I don’t like
people touching my stuff too much and given he’s a lawyer, I would think he’d
be more careful with who goes through his laptop. Mo Sheng gives a cute victory
sign to Yi Chen and quickly fetches the laptop directly from his suitcase. She
brings it to the kitchen and continues her witchcraft – I mean – cooking.
He lingers for a bit as he watches Mo Sheng take over the
kitchen. He finally takes his leaves to go hang his suit. It takes him awhile because
he got distracted by Mo Sheng’s clothing hanging right beside his. I like how
he appreciates the tiniest of things. He would be staring at them for quite a
bit more if it hadn’t been Mo Sheng’s scream.
Mo Sheng’s spilled soup and it got all over his laptop.
However, Yi Chen spots that she’s burned herself too and immediately tends to
her instead of his precious Mac (don’t worry, you guys will get another one
since Apple’s sponsoring this whole drama anyways). Mo Sheng doesn’t feel the
luuurve because she feels guilty for destroying Yi Chen’s laptop.
But of course, the lawyer has a backup of everything…except
this one document (that is a translation from English to Chinese) he needs for
tomorrow. Of course. Mo Sheng’s immediately distraught and sinks into the couch.
Seeing this, Yi Chen seems much more disappointed than finding out his laptop
died. Aw. He makes her feel better by specifically asking her translate the
document for him. Even though he’s fully capable of translating, he lets Mo
Sheng feel useful.
I don’t know if Mo Sheng appreciates Yi Chen’s way of making
her feel better but at the very least she’s not guilty anymore; she’s just overwhelmed
with her lack of knowledge in English as she flips the dictionary pages back
and forth complaining to herself all the time she’s wasted in the States. She
contemplates whether she should ask Yi Chen for help and finally succumbs to it.
Yi Chen comes to help but is completely invading her personal space. Either she
feels his closeness or her own stupidity, she tries to back-out but hits her
head (hard) against Yi Chen’s arm. To hide the real reason for her sudden jolt, Mo Sheng claims that she’s hungry.
They go to eat noodles and it took me a while to fathom why Mo
Sheng’s so happy. I'm putting my bet on the fact that it was Mo Sheng that suggested to eat but its Yi Chen’s that gobbling
down the noodles. Yi Chen’s oblivious to
this though.
After that sweet interlude, they’re back to work. However, Mo
Sheng ends up falling asleep on Yi Chen’s shoulders. He twitches his eyebrow as
he enjoys this.
The next morning, Mo Shengs wakes up to find herself in bed and on top of that, her cloth’s changed! She gets up to find her missing
slippers. She awkwardly waves hi to Yi Chen as she looks lost in her own house.
She then awkwardly tells him she’s looking for her slippers
and without looking, Yi Chen already knows where it is.
They eat breakfast most part in silence and that’s because
Mo Sheng’s awkward about who changed her clothes. However, she doesn’t go right
into topic. Instead she says, “It looks like I fell asleep last night…. About
that….” Yi Chen cuts her off with his business tone, “I changed it.” Mo Sheng’s
immediate response is to protect herself from embarrassment as she tries to
divert the seriousness of this topic (LOL), “Ah? What? O-oh, you mean my
clothes.” Yi Chen’s holding in a smile when asking if there was something (that
was more important to her) that she wanted to ask. Mo Sheng quickly clarifies
that it was the translation process of the documents she didn’t finish last
night. Yi Chen seems to be a bit disappointed in that answer. However, he’s not
disappointed for long as Mo Sheng immediately dunks her head, wanting to hide
in the congee. Haha. She can’t look into Yi Chen’s eyes anymore.
Mo Sheng returns home from work and browses through the
mail. She finds out that Yi Chen’s bought a house for Yi Mei’s parents and are
coming down next week to finalize the contract. Mo Sheng then quickly decorates
the house and prepare a restaurant for that day only to find out that Yi Chen
never planned to invite her. Ouch! Why?
Mo Sheng is hurt enough that she speaks up to Yi Chen that
night, “Are you regretting now? Is that why you’re not introducing me to your
relatives nor telling anyone else that we’re married?”
…And we cut to the next day. For some reason, our mood and our
hair should relate. That is how Xiao Hong convinces Mo Sheng to cut her hair to
feel better. She intends to cut it shorter but the barber decided to be
artistic and turned her head into an art piece. She gets it free of charge
because you can’t buy art. On the other hand, Xiao Hong had to pay for her
haircut because it turned out ugly. That’s apparently the rule for that salon:
only ugly haircuts cost money. LOL. Since Xiao Hong and Mo Sheng are true
friends, they don’t hesitate to confirm how ugly the other person is. Haha.
Yi Chen’s side is preparing for war… Or at least the music
is trying to. To sum it up, they won a huge deal and now they need to
celebrate. Everyone’s chirping in on where to go until they settle it to be
hosted at Yi Chen’s place. Normally Yi Chen would refuse these gatherings but
because of Mo Sheng’s words the night before, he agrees happily. He also plans
to prepare this as a surprise for Mo Sheng as he calls her to make sure she’s
home but not tell her all his employees are coming over. What a perfect timing
to get a haircut, Mo Sheng.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So although there was a huge transformation in her hair
(which will take me some time to get used to). At certain angles, the hairdo
does look okay though. However, I appreciate the change in her attitude towards
Yi Chen much more. Her being cute (e.g. giving V sign, waving hi in her own
house, and sinking her head into her congee), and sulky (e.g. the laptop and the
whole regret thing) was nice to watch. I finally see more of a connection
between this and the younger version of Mo Sheng. I like! I was never a fan of
Tiffany; I’m just neutral about her. But for some reason I really want to like
her in this drama so this change in her attitude is something I really look
forward to.
