But he was already in love with Li Fang, the school belle.

Xuan Mo has a school best friend who she tells all her secrets. She was Jingjing who happens to be a school DJ.  They were on one of their heart to heart when Jingjing did not notice that they were live on air so everyone including Hailan heard Xuan Mo confessing that she like Hailan.

Hailan was furious about it as it made Qi Shan angry.

Xuan Mo, however, encouraged by Jingjing confessed once again to Hailan and this time face to face.

He told her to go away.

To cheer Xuan Mo up, Jingjing took her scuba diving.

Xuan Mo dived with her instructor but under the sea she heard an alien voice calling her name.  So she followed the sound leaving her instructor until they got separated.

Gen Abu realised how weak Momo was so she updated Momo’s strength and had become badass.

Momo had become a bit of a problem to her family because she would just go and disappear for a time.

She even ended in a police station and as Hailan was the only one that Momo seemed to remember, he was called by the police to collect Momo.

Momo’s mother was so worried about her that she suggested that if she was unhappy with her stepbrother and stepbrother, she would take Momo away.

Momo needed money to buy a super computer so she could contact her people.  She found a job at a cinema where Hailan works.

Hailan wanted her fired so without thinking of consequences during an arranged marriage proposal after a film was finished, he played a prank on Momo and pointed the spotlight on her when a guy was proposing to his girlfriend.

The girlfriend got so upset because she thought her boyfriend was cheating on her with Momo.  She grabbed the unsuspecting Momo by the hair.  All the time, Hailan was laughing until the boyfriend grabbed him and told Hailan that he ruined the most important day of his life.

She understood.  When she got home, she gave Lu Yu Chen a kiss on the forehead which shocked him because she was his sister.  But then she told him that she was comforting him.  He wanted to know who thought her to do it but he knew already that it must be Hailan.
