[Lovesickness]

[Episode 18]

Are you willing to marry Xiao Chu?

Sister An, why are you asking this?

I can tell that you like Xiao Chu.

No, Sister An, don't misunderstand.

Brother Xiao Chu and I...

I can help you.

I can help you pursue Xiao Chu.

Why do you want to help me?

You and Brother Xiao Chu...

We just share the same tastes.

We're just friends.

Besides, I don't like Xiao Chu.

But I think Brother Xiao Chu

treats you differently.

It's impossible for us to be together.

I already have someone I like.

But it's inappropriate for a woman to pursue a man.

So what? Men and women are equal.

Listen,

a woman can take the initiative

to fight for anything she wants,

including the man she likes.

Men and women are equal?

This is the first time that I heard something like this.

Yes, men and women should be equal.

Who says women are inferior to men?

Women can be capable.

Women can join the army and fight a war.

Women can also be an emperor.

I've never heard

that a woman can be an emperor.

Although we are women,

we can still control our own fate.

Are you willing to let others

control your fate?

Sister An, what do you think I should do?

Tonight is Xiao Chu's birthday.

[Duke's Mansion]

Is it ready? I'm starving.

Yes.

Wait. No hurry.

Someone is not here yet.

Who?

Sorry, I'm late.

Yuchan.

Today is Brother Xiao Chu's birthday.

I wish Brother Xiao Chu

great vitality and a promising future.

May all your wishes come true and may you be safe and happy.

Thank you, Yuchan.

Yuchan, you are so clever and nimble.

Someone is really lucky.

Sister An, I prepared one for you too.

Really?

Sister An, we are sworn sisters.

So I'm using a sachet embroidered with lily flowers

as a gift.

Thanks.

I also prepared super delicious hot pot.

Consider it my gift for you.

Hot pot?

Sit.

This is called hot pot?

It's called hot pot because the pot is placed above the fire.

You can't eat it directly. You need dipping sauce.

The dipping sauce made by me is amazing.

It is fresh and tasty.

It's necessary for hot pot and barbecue.

The soul is this spoon of sugar.

Interesting.

Come on, Yuchan.

How does it taste?

Not bad.

It's really delicious.

Hot pot is my favorite.

Eat.

There are so many dishes.

Yes.

Is there wax gourd there?

Thank you.

I can do it myself.

Cheers.

Here comes the osmanthus cake.

Happy birthday.

So beautiful.

Come on. Put your palms together.

Not like this. Like this.

Close your eyes.

Make a wish.

I...

You can't say it out.

Blow out the candles at one stroke,

and your wish will come true.

Let's do it together.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Sister An, you know a lot of interesting things.

You eat first. I have something to do.

I'll be right back.

I'm taking the sachet with me.

If...

If it weren't for me,

you two would be meant to be together, right?

Brother Xiao Chu.

Brother Xiao Chu.

What's wrong?

Do you still remember

when we first met in the imperial palace?

Of course.

When I was recuperating in the palace,

you often came to accompany me

and tell me interesting things.

Actually,

when I first met you,

I fell in love with you.

I wonder how you think of me.

You are very nice.

You are the most talented

and virtuous woman I've ever seen.

Really?

Brother Xiao Chu, are you willing to marry...

What's wrong with An Mo?

Yuchan, I'm going to take a look.

Brother Xiao Chu.

Brother Xiao Chu.

Well, you're drinking here secretly.

Why are you crying?

You're here.

You're here.

You... are drunk.

Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu.

How much... did I drink?

My head hurts a lot.

What happened last night?

Gosh! I kissed Xiao Chu forcibly.

Oh no.

Mo An'an, how could you do that?

You said you'd be their matchmaker, but you want to take him away from her.

You can't do this.

You can't do this.
