A Moment But Forever Episode 9 Recap
> A Moment But Forever Recap
After seeing Ji Tan Yin, A Xue asked if she had bought a ticket and worried that she might be a bad person. Turning to run away, A Xue was quickly stopped by Ji Tan Yin, who feared being reported. Ji Tan Yin used a spell on A Xue, falsely claiming to be her good friend named "A Yin.
" From then on, A Xue introduced Ji Tan Yin as her close friend to everyone she met and even invited her to stay in her room, giving up her own bed while she slept on the floor. Meanwhile, Zi Fei kept blaming Yuan Zhong for their misfortune, even lamenting that they had lost all their money. However, Yuan Zhong remained indifferent. Zi Fei insisted that their string of bad luck stemmed from Yuan Zhong killing Ji Tan Yin.
That night, Ji Tan Yin sneaked out alone to assess the situation. The next morning, as A Xue left for work, she warned Ji Tan Yin not to go outside carelessly, as she hadn’t purchased a ticket and could be easily caught. Feeling guilty, Ji Tan Yin wanted to buy a ticket, but A Xue adamantly refused to let her. Ji Tan Yin wandered outside, searching for traces of Yuan Zhong.
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhong, while strolling, overheard an elderly man discussing the Yanluo Bird with his grandson. Watching their warm interaction, he felt moved and even approached them to share knowledge about the bird’s weaknesses. As a result of his good deed, he ended up getting splashed with water. Elsewhere, Du Qi and his group, having been tied up by Qian Lin, finally regained consciousness.
Though initially trying to intimidate Qian Lin, Du Qi soon realized that threats were useless, so he attempted to negotiate instead. Just then, the ship’s guards happened to pass by the door. Seeing it locked, they left, sparing them from immediate trouble. However, Qian Lin noticed that Du Qi was also afraid of being discovered by the guards. While preparing to drink some water, Qian Lin detected an unusual scent from the waterskin. Ji Tan Yin remained conflicted.
She had once believed Yuan Zhong to be a good person, but after he repeatedly tried to kill her, she was determined to settle the score. She confided in A Xue about her dilemma. A Xue advised her that one shouldn't judge a person’s character based on just one or two incidents. As they shared their thoughts, Ji Tan Yin unexpectedly learned that A Xue had developed feelings for a kind young master on the ship whose surname was Yuan.
Ji Tan Yin immediately realized that the person A Xue admired was Yuan Zhong. Meanwhile, the ship’s guards arrived outside Tang Hua’s cabin. Because Tang Hua refused to let them in, the guards grew suspicious, believing he was hiding someone inside. They called for a steward, who, upon opening the door, recognized Tang Hua and promptly reported it to Shen Ying. Surprised to learn that Tang Hua was onboard, Shen Ying ordered his subordinates to ensure he was well-treated.
Ji Tan Yin wanted to meet Yuan Zhong but feared her sudden appearance might cause a misunderstanding. She transformed into A Xue’s likeness, much to A Xue’s shock. Disguised as A Xue, Ji Tan Yin brought food to Yuan Zhong, intending to test whether he was truly kindhearted. Yuan Zhong continuously asked if she needed any help and, in the process, Ji Tan Yin noticed that his hand was injured. Just then, a young woman on the ship lost her father.
The crew planned to place the corpse in a filthy area, but Yuan Zhong unexpectedly volunteered his own cabin to store the body. Watching Yuan Zhong’s continuous acts of kindness, Ji Tan Yin felt reassured, confirming in her heart that he was indeed a good person. At the same time, Yuan Zhong’s hand injury healed completely. Meanwhile, Du Qi, unwilling to let Qian Lin hinder his plans, proposed an alliance to take down Yuan Zhong together.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, everyone left their cabins and gathered on the deck to release lanterns and make wishes. Ji Tan Yin found Yuan Zhong struggling to set his lantern afloat. Stepping forward, she taught him how to properly release it and curiously asked about his wish. Yuan Zhong, however, grew suspicious of Ji Tan Yin, who was still disguised as a maid, and questioned why she kept following him.
To deflect suspicion, Ji Tan Yin fabricated a backstory about A Xue’s hardships, claiming she had come aboard to work and wanted to serve as Yuan Zhong’s personal maid. Yuan Zhong rejected the idea outright. As he turned to leave, a lantern suddenly fell from above, about to strike him. In a moment of panic, Ji Tan Yin lunged forward and tackled him to safety. Meanwhile, Shen Ying hosted a banquet for Tang Hua. During the meal, Tang Hua continuously tested Shen Ying with his words and actions.
