[Episode 9]

If you can't handle your alcohol, don't drink.

Who said that I can't handle my alcohol?

Who said that?

I did.

Who? I'll show him.

Xingyan's stomach medicine is on the nightstand.

Fetch it for me, will you?

Is your stomach still hurting?

Have some water.

That's what you get for drinking so much.

If you keep drinking like that, you'll ruin your stomach.

Those investors are really something.

Forcing you to drink...

If I hadn't been drinking with them,

you think they'd have let you off...

along with Song Ruan, that easily?

Why are you acting like a gentleman now?

You're already this drunk.

How drunk am I?

I know my limits.

This is nothing.

Get me two more beers.

I can knock them back easily.

Go get 'em.

Knock them back?

Let's see how you knock them back.

Knock them back.

Knock them back, knock them back.

Knock them back, knock them back.

Knock them back, knock them back.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Still want to drink more?

No, no more.

Everything comes at a cost.

The more you want...

the more you have to lose.

I just want to... act well...

to be an ordinary actor.

But it's not that easy.

Alright.

I've seen how much you've suffered

for your acting career all these years.

Heaven won't let down someone who strives for their dreams.

But we need to take it step by step.

Your health comes first.

If you keep drinking like this,

you'll end up with a perforated stomach.

Then you'll only be able to play patients.

Your range of roles will be limited!

Can you stop jinxing me?

I'm taking my meds, aren't I?

Good boy.

Here is the medicine.

Take your medicine.

Hurry, hurry.

Chu Xingyan.

What kind of person...

are you really?

How's the sunlight?

Can we shoot against the backlight?

Just walk forward.

Looks good like this.

Don't run.

Later, we...

we still have one more set to shoot.

We have one more set.

We still have one more set coming up.

Strike a few more handsome poses.

Be careful.

Dengdeng, it's you again!

Dengdeng!

This is a dog that's easily swayed by beauty.

It seems a bit scared.

Have some.

What did you major in during college?

I majored in directing and screenwriting.

Chu Xingyan.

Are you... free tonight?

I'd like to treat you to dinner.

Sure.

Hey.

I cooked a few dishes.

Though they might not be up to Michelin standards,

at least here

you don't have to worry about paparazzi.

It's okay.

I don't go to Michelin-starred restaurants every day.

You...

live here alone?

How is that possible?

It's such a big house.

I live here with my bestie.

But she went out with someone today.

You deliberately sent her away, didn't you?

Don't talk nonsense.

She'll be back soon.

Don't get any funny ideas.

Sit down.

They look pretty good.

You even made my favorite scrambled eggs.

It's my treat today.

I'll drink beer, and you'll drink tea.

You drink beer, and I drink tea?

That won't do. I'll have a little.

You can only have tea tonight.

Fine.

Let me try it.

Making so many delicious dishes

and being so nice to me...

What are you up to?

Actor Chu Xingyan, congratulations to you

on your sixth anniversary in the industry.

That's enough.

Slow down.

Stop drinking, stop drinking.

You finished the can?

Yeah.

Thank you.

But I've only been in the industry for four years.

But six years ago,

you performed in your first play at school.

How do you know that?

I'm your documentary director.

Of course I need to know enough about you.

Actually, I want to tell you today

that perseverance is a very precious quality.

Look at how successful you are now,

yet you still haven't forgotten your roots.

That's really amazing.

So,

you must never give up.

You will definitely become

an exceptionally good actor.

Another can?

That's enough.

Actually, there's one more thing I want to ask you today.

What is it?

Chu Xingyan,

you love to flirt with me so much.

Do you really like me,

or are you just playing the field?

You're drunk after just two cans of beer?

Or...

are you using this kind of behavior...

to deliberately hide something?

Well...

I...

Chu Xingyan.

I want to ask you...

in your eyes,

what kind of person am I?

Am I

just a woman you want to conquer?

Or

simply a colleague you work with?

Those things...

those things you said to me before—

d-did you mean them?

Do you say things like that to every woman,

or are those just casual remarks?

You...

you'd better remember what you're like right now.

You've definitely had too much to drink.
