Dear Mr. Recluse Episode 2 Recap
> Dear Mr. Recluse Recap
In order to win over Lin Wei, Su Shiyu tries every possible method and devises a strategy. Her friend Bai Ruan advises her to think about her own strengths. Lin Wei is an exceptionally accomplished individual, graduating from a prestigious foreign university and being featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. This also means that Lin Wei has no time for romance. With 27 days left out of the one-month timeframe Chairman Lin gave her, Su Shiyu leaves home early with her makeup bag to strategize.
Today is the day when Chairman Lin and Lin Wei come together to pay respects to Lin Wei's mother. Chairman Lin mentions that Lin Wei's mother wished for him to return to the company and lead Good Flavor Coffee forward. In reality, Chairman Lin is in a difficult situation as well. The company is in chaos internally, and Jin Xingchen is nearly sidelining him. Just as the conversation unfolds, Jin Xingchen arrives as well, openly and subtly mocking Chairman Lin insincerely. Armed with a presentation, Su Shiyu attempts to strategize with Chairman Lin, but he sends her to strategize with Lin Wei instead. Su Shiyu starts by apologizing and thanking Lin Wei for a previous incident, but unintentionally hurts him in the process. Seizing the opportunity to get closer to Lin Wei by helping him apply a bandage, Su Shiyu suddenly realizes that she's the one being strategized, not Lin Wei. Chairman Lin approves of this development, thinking that Lin Wei's feelings for Su Shiyu are genuine. He suggests that Su Shiyu stay on the mountain for a few days and also asks her to persuade Lin Wei to return. Lin Wei's obsession is to cultivate the Eleven Miles Fragrance tea and relive its flavor. Su Shiyu waits for a while, and when Lin Wei finally emerges from the cemetery, he declines her invitation and walks away on his own.
Feeling down, Su Shiyu drives downhill, only for her car to break down on the road. While waiting for rescue, she takes a dragon fruit from the field and hides money under a stone using a brick. Lin Wei passes by and accidentally gets hit on the forehead by Su Shiyu again. Su Shiyu pleads with Lin Wei to wait for rescue together, but he misunderstands her intentions as a ploy for collaboration. In frustration, Su Shiyu admits her true intentions, claiming that Lin Wei, a regular person, will eventually fall in love with her if she persists. Lin Wei fixes the car, but as he leaves, the atmosphere between them becomes somewhat awkward.
The studio is now adorned with "For Rent" signs, and Chen Xiangxiang makes a sarcastic appearance. Shu Yue steps in at the critical moment to defend Su Shiyu against Chen Xiangxiang's mockery. The company hasn't received any orders for three months, and they need to pay the rent. In fact, Shu Yue has been wanting to quit under his mother's urging, but the right opportunity has never come.
Shu Yue accompanies Su Shiyu to Lin Wei's cabin, which is illuminated by a kerosene lamp due to the absence of electricity. Everything seems to be simple and genuine. Su Shiyu wants to understand Lin Wei better, so she sets up a tent at his doorstep, claiming it's a camping spot conveniently located at Lin Wei's house. Su Shiyu brings Lin Wei pastries as an apology for the car repair incident and then manages to join him for a meal. Despite finding Lin Wei's simple fare unappetizing, she forces herself to eat. Bai Ruan sends her a package of comfort and includes a "Love Handbook." In her pursuit of Lin Wei, Su Shiyu resorts to using tactics that she herself finds distasteful.
