Speed and Love Episode 6 Recap: Jealousy Games and Peach Allergies
Behind the Wheel
Jiang Mu is back at it with San Lai, practicing her driving. Honestly, she’s teaching him at this point. She spots his mistakes immediately. He’s a bit sloppy. She decides to take the wheel herself.
This triggers a memory. She thinks back to when Jin Qiang taught them as kids. She remembers her dad’s old advice. It works. She executes a perfect circle and nails a figure-eight maneuver. She’s got natural talent.
The Jealousy Trap
Nana is a chaotic friend, but she gets things done. She signs Jiang Mu up for driving school and drags her to a party at Lin Sui’s house. It’s Lin Sui’s birthday. The place is packed.
Jin Chao calls. Jiang Mu ignores him. She is spiraling a bit. Apparently, Jin Chao gave her a condom as a gift. It’s weird. She doesn’t know if she should be offended or ask him about it. She’s worried it’ll ruin their sibling-like dynamic.
Nana has a plan. She tells Jiang Mu to make him jealous. Make him think there’s another guy. Jiang Mu agrees. She stops replying to his texts. She needs to let him sweat.
Baiting the Hook
Nana scans the room for a target. She picks Lin Sui’s cousin. He’s got the looks and the vibe to be a threat. She shoves Jiang Mu toward him and snaps a photo of them together.
Jiang Mu follows the playbook. She sends the photo and her location to Jin Chao. Then, she recalls the message. She types a fake apology, claiming she sent it by mistake. It’s a classic move. Jin Chao sees it and loses his cool immediately.
A Dangerous Conversation
Nana takes off to avoid some thugs working for Wan Qing. This leaves Jiang Mu alone at the bar playing with a parrot. Liang Yanfeng spots her. He slides in and starts asking questions. He wants to know if she belongs to Jin Chao.
Jiang Mu stays quiet. She’s smart enough to be guarded. Liang Yanfeng presses harder. He claims he knows Jin Chao’s secrets. He mentions something called the "Little Green Snake." Jiang Mu is about to ask what that means, but she takes a sip of her drink. Suddenly, the room spins. She passes out right into Lin Sui’s arms.
Fists Fly at the Party
Jin Chao storms the party. He runs into Nana first. She’s being hassled by Wan Qing’s guys. He steps in and handles them. He demands Nana take him to Jiang Mu.
Inside, Lin Sui carries the unconscious Jiang Mu to a couch. He covers her with a blanket. Jin Chao walks in at that exact moment. It looks bad. Jin Chao calls him trash. He doesn't ask questions. He throws a punch. They start brawling. This isn't just about tonight. They have unfinished business from the boxing ring.
The Hospital Confession
Jiang Mu wakes up mid-fight. Jin Chao stops immediately. She complains about an itchy neck and nausea. Jin Chao realizes what happened. The cocktail had peaches in it. She’s allergic.
He rushes her to the hospital. On the way out, he warns Lin Sui that they aren't done yet.
Nana points out the silver lining. Jin Chao remembered a specific allergy from ten years ago. That’s not nothing. That means he cares.
Jiang Mu has to stay overnight. She’s malnourished on top of the allergy. Nana yells at Jin Chao for a bit, then leaves them alone. Jiang Mu tries to test him again. She mentions how handsome Lin Sui is. Jin Chao barely reacts. He just agrees to stay the night because she’s scared.
Clearing the Air
Jiang Mu finally asks the big question. Did he go see a woman earlier? Jin Chao laughs. He went to see a man. The misunderstanding is over.
San Lai shows up with supplies and accidentally spills the beans about Jiang Mu’s earlier confusion. Jin Chao gets it now. He goes back into the room. He sets the record straight. There is no woman. He isn't looking for one. He tells her she doesn't need to worry about her place in his life. His home is her home. He signs some hospital paperwork using the fountain pen she gave him. It’s a nice touch.
Going Home
Jin Chao wants to drop her off at Jin Qiang’s place. Jiang Mu isn't having it. She plays the sympathy card. She claims she’s too sick and malnourished to be alone. It works like a charm. Jin Chao caves. He takes her back to the garage with him.
