[To My Shore]

Mom!

Xiao Xiao, run!

- Again, again! - No backing out!

Mr. Fan.

Mr. Fan.

I've seen Mr. Fang and Mr. Li to their car.

Okay. Thanks for helping me entertain them at the club.

I couldn't have handled it solo.

Mr. Fan, you rarely ask me for help.

I'm happy to pitch in.

It's just…

When you first asked me to "host," I thought...

I thought...

You scared me for a second.

You thought I meant that kind of hosting, huh?

Relax.

I'll get you home safe before midnight.

Oh.

And I got you a gift.

Mr. Fan, you've already helped me so much.

You don't have to...

Isn't this the crown from the last show's finale?

Boss went to your show.

When he heard the finale crown for you got reassigned,

he bought it on the spot.

I... I don't think I should accept this.

Now, this crown is yours.

Your Highness, may I have the honor of a song?

Since you don't mind how I sound,

I'll give it a shot.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

And who's this now?

You're acting weird lately.

Why are you only bringing guys around?

Just NPCs.

A game that might blow up any minute...

Thrilling, right?

I'll leave you alone.

I'm off. Call me if you need me.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

- Mr. Fan. - Shu Lang,

what are you up to?

- Watching the game at home. - With your girlfriend?

Nice.

I'm alone.

It's a long night ahead...

Yet, you have no company?

They have a business dinner tonight.

What a waste of a good night.

Why did you call?

No reason.

Someone's singing at this bar, sounds great.

Thought I'd invite you.

After all, you're my only friend in this city.

Listen.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

Hear that?

Nice, right?

It's okay. Can't really hear it.

Come hang for a bit?

Kongke Bar.

No schmoozing, just friends.

Aren't I your only friend here?

You really do make friends wherever you go.

Don't flatter me like that next time.

If it's nothing urgent, let's talk at tomorrow's press conference.

- I'm hanging up. - You're getting ruder with me these days.

Where did that first-meeting courtesy go?

Courtesy is for outsiders.

You don't really count anymore.

♫ ♫

[Episode 3]

Congratulations to both investment teams

on a successful signing.

All right. Honored guests, please be seated.

Mr. Fan, please stay.

Would you give a few closing words?

My Hua language isn't great, so I'll keep it short.

If I misspeak, please forgive me.

Thanks again for coming to our project launch.

Here's to a smooth partnership between Pinfeng Capital and Bohai Pharma,

and may our friendship be lasting, like mine with Director You.

Mr. Fan, this is the office Director Liu set up for you

to follow up on the project.

Let me know if you need anything else.

What I need most is this moisturizer.

- Want some? - I'm good.

It's a lot more humid here than where I came from.

True. Too wet in the rainy season, too dry in the hot season.

Skin gets tight.

Why are you staring at me?

You didn't rub it in evenly.

Here. Is that better?

Here... And there.

Now? Is it even now?

Here.

How about I trouble you to help me?

Shu Lang, help me out.

Done.

Thanks.

Nice setup.

It has everything.

Xiao Ding, get a humidifier for Mr. Fan's office.

Make it quick.

You really know how to take care of people.

Oh, shut it.

Got a cigarette?

Stop hiding behind "oops, wrong words."

You're just...

What?

Doing it on purpose to tease.

You're just awful.

Awful.

Awful.

Sharp eyes, Director You.

Sometimes I think I am awful.

Like tomorrow...

I want to borrow your day off.

Come wander the city with me.

Tomorrow?

I can't make it tomorrow.

Now the contract's signed, you ghost me?

It's not that.

Rain check, okay?

I've already got plans.

I know I owe you.

But I really am meeting someone tomorrow.

Your girlfriend?

I'm going out with my partner.

Then I won't intrude.

All I can do is wish you a happy day off.

Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Maybe he's just casual with boundaries.

Things probably bother him less.

By the way, what's with that moisturizer?

The smell's... harsh.

How about I go with you to buy a new one later?

We'll get a better one.

Knew it...

You do care.

Didn't expect you to know so much about skincare.

I used this before. Works well.

I saw you reading the ingredients.

Reading the ingredients is a habit from work.

Just checking whether it suits our Young Master Fan.

Zhen Zhen, free tomorrow?

Want to show me around?

Tomorrow?

What, you busy?

It's fine, I'm free.

Then what time? Where do you want to go?

9 A.M. sharp, Urban Wetland Park.

[Zhen Zhen]

- Hey. - Shu Lang.

I just got a booking.

The agency scheduled me for work tomorrow.

Okay. Got it.

I'll refund the tickets and flights then.

- We'll go next time. - Okay.

Stood up?

They're busy tomorrow.

Then, shall we?

Sure. Where do you want to go?

I'll go with you.

Urban Wetland Park.

See you at 9:30.

Morning, Mr. Fan.

I'm not late, am I?

Not late. Right on time.

I'm early.

What did you bring?

I made these.

A friend said the park's huge.

It's good to refuel when we rest.

Very thoughtful of you.

Then, shall we?

Zhen Zhen.

If someone perfect in public

gets their dirty secret exposed,

what do you think will happen?

They'd probably blow up from embarrassment?

Not him.

He heaps up appearances.

Even if he's grinding his teeth,

he'd swallow it with a smile.

Huh?

Who are you talking about?

What's the punishment?

You can't park here.

Please go back.

Go back.

Go back. Okay, thank you.

"Go back," huh?

Back to where?

Back to when we first met?

Mr. Fan, welcome to our company.

Pleased to meet you.

Just remembered an urgent matter.

I need to head back to the office.

Today's trip is off.

What?

But I...

Thanks. I'll enjoy these.

What?

- Mr. Fan... - I'll make it up to you.

Sorry, traffic at the lot made me late.

Not at all, you're right on time.

I was early.

You took a cab?

Just now, I saw you talking to one.

Someone asked for directions.

I put him in a taxi.

You? Giving directions, with your sense of direction?

Exactly why I put him in the cab.

Foreigner. Driver didn't speak English.

Couldn't make it clear.

What's that in your hand?

Food.

The place is huge.

When we have time, it's good to refuel.

Let's go.

You made them?

You'll know when you taste it.

If it's good, I made it.

Awful.

Wait for me, don't run! Wait!

What's so funny?

Can you understand what they're saying?

No.

But eyes are a universal language.

- Their eyes are full of happiness. - It's nice.

Again, again!

So, if they're happy,

you're happy?

You've got a big heart.

Don't twist my words.

I'm not a saint.

I just get infected by

simple joy around me.

Don't you?

"People around you," huh?

I should be the one around you.

Do I look simply joyful right now?

Joyful or not, I don't know.

I only know you're not "simple."

Hit a nerve?

Sure, you're the best.

Fine.

It's hot. Keep some distance.

What're you thinking?

That pond looks like where I used to catch fish and shrimp as a kid.

Catch fish and shrimp?

You were that naughty?

Not for fun, for food.

And you don't always get a catch.

It depends on luck.

You really did that?

From 7 till 14.

How'd you catch them?

Using those tools on the bank?

That won't work. What can you catch with that?

The biggest, fattest fish stay in deep water.

You've gotta dive.

But I never went to the deepest part.

Even though the fish were fattest there, there was a whirlpool.

Greedy kids drowned.

You weren't greedy?

I was.

But I was even more desperate to live.

Is living really that important?

Living's exhausting.

It is.

But there are things worth sticking around for.

Like falling in love.

And, say... Good food.

Here, try this.

I'll do it myself.

Don't be so formal.

You helped me with my face moisturizer.

I'm just returning the favor.

Fan Xiao, knock off the clingy crap.

Don't do it again.

Good?

Is the taste familiar?

Familiar?

What chain is this from?

It's okay.

I don't think I've had it before.

Then, how's it compare to your girlfriend's cooking?

Fan Xiao, get yourself a girlfriend.

Better than pining after someone else's partner.

My partner rarely cooks.

I'm the one who cooks for her, mostly.

You cook for her?

Forget this.

Come on, I'll take you to something actually good.

How was that? Pretty accurate, right?

Aim's fine.

- Weak on power. - Weak on power, huh.

Fan Xiao, why'd you bring me here?

If you keep being mysterious, I'm leaving.

Almost time.

You'll see in no time.

Mr. Xue...

- Slow down. - Hey, gimme a kiss.

Xue Bao Tian.

Careful, careful.

You sure are a gentleman.

But swapping drinks for a lady one for one, won't do.

Fine, Director You!

I'm making friends with you tonight.

Director You, I'll get you some payback tonight.

Mr. Xue, be careful.

Mr. Xue.

What the hell?

Stop hitting him!

Who touched your granddaddy?

Please stop!

Mr. Xue, are you okay?

Looking to die?

I'm off, Mr. Fan,

He hits where it hurts.

Not a saint at all.

More like a charming little devil.

That neck...

I want a bite.

I really want a bite.

Damn it, still not enough.

I need the real thing.

This better be important.

Chill, it's nothing at all.

[Lu Zhen]

Lu Zhen?

Zhen Zhen?

Great.

Wait for me.

Zhen Zhen, it's your turn.

Director You can't be the only "soft-core actor" in my head.

Zhen Zhen.

Mr. Fan.

Been waiting long?

Nah.

You're a little tipsy.

Tonight's drinks are... potent.

Haven't eaten, have you?

Don't skip meals.

You're too skinny.

Too skinny.

And too soft.

Not like Director You,

I'll stay with you a little longer...

then take you home.

I'm gonna hit the restroom.

I'll wait here.

Your boyfriend's hilarious.

Who proposes there?

So awkward.

He looked so sincere, though.

Forget it.

Congrats, I guess.

Happy wedding.

Marriage.

I want to be with you forever.

Let's get married.

Kiddo, "forever" is a long time.

- You sure? - I'm sure.

You're the one I want to be with forever.

Let's get married. Please?

Okay. If that's what you want, I'm in.

Check flights, we'll go abroad and get married.

Really?

All done. That's a wrap for today's brand shoot.

- Thanks. - How are you getting home?

My boyfriend's picking me up, as usual.

I'm jealous.

Your boyfriend picks you up every day,

and he's handsome and sweet.

Where'd you find that treasure?

Find your own.

I chased mine down!

At first I wasn't sure,

but then I thought,

whatever, I'll go for it.

That's the spirit.

- I... - Zhen Zhen.

I shouldn't be thinking of You Shu Lang now.

- Zhen Zhen. - I...

Why are you spacing out?

Finish this drink, and we'll go home.

Let's go.

It's so hot.

Mr. Fan.

Zhen Zhen.

What's wrong?

Nauseous?

Want to throw up?

Hot.

I'm burning up.

Feel me.

Have some ice water, cool down.

Mr. Fan, I'm weak.

Can't open it.

- Can you help me? - This isn't right.

I should be calmer.

More restrained.

Mr. Fan.

Silly boy, need me to help?

Why isn't this working?

Get in the back.

Mr. Fan.

Don't look at me like that.

Less soft, more aloof.

Sit up straighter.

Don't slouch.

Sit straight.

Mr. Fan, I feel awful.

Help me, please?

I feel awful.

It still doesn't work.

I'll take you home.

Sleep it off.

Mr. Fan, actually I was...

Get some rest.

We'll be there soon.

Mr. Fan, thanks for the ride.

Want to come in?

I just bought a new couch, super comfy.

It's late, another time.

Text me when you're in

so I won't worry.

Come on.

Mr. Fan.

Mr. Fan.

Zhen Zhen?

Lu Zhen!

What's wrong?

Uncle You?

It's you?

- Why are you here? - I called a few times and couldn't reach you.

I got worried and came by.

Why are you so...

Kiss me, Uncle You.

You... Lu Zhen...

Let's go upstairs, okay?

No, right now.

I want that kiss.

I want You Shu Lang's kiss.

Lu Zhen, come on, upstairs.

I want to take that sick pervert.

What? Take who?

Sick pervert?

Who?

You Shu Lang.

The guy you wanted.

You Shu Lang.

You really brought him straight to my bed?

Xiao, are you for real?

Switching sexual orientation now?

For real?

I'm just fooling around.

At least...

things still seem fun.

How'd you knock him out?

He's usually careful.

Their company hosted clients tonight.

He got drunk.

He sent everyone off

and was alone in the lot.

My guy dosed him there.

But, gotta hand it to your "saint," though,

he's tough.

Before he went down,

he hip-threw my buddy.

Foot on his neck, phone out, and ready to call the cops.

If the dose hadn't been strong enough,

who knows how this would've ended.

He's my Bodhisattva.

Of course he's tough.

But bringing him into my home?

It's really dumb.

Relax.

I handled the cameras.

When you're done,

I'll pack him up and dump him back in the parking lot.

Chop-chop.

Xiao...

Do you even know how to do it with a man?

I'll take him back myself.

Don't worry about it.

I know you're crazy,

but this crazy?

Long night, enjoy.

Oh, and happy early birthday.

Consider this my gift.

Still that wild rose scent.

Even the Buddha fed himself to a tiger.

Bodhisattva, let me have a bite, okay?

No answer?

I'll take that as a yes.

Thank you, Buddha.

Meant to say, your clothes are ugly.

What about taking them off?

You Shu Lang.

Save me.

And what was that for?

Feels good?

You like being kissed by a man?

Your type kisses in public, right?

Don't you care if people see?

Fine, I'll indulge you.

Bodhisattva.

I'll spare you today.

But one day,

I'll make you crawl into my bed on your own.

You'll be begging me to have you.

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Zhang.

Bold, Director You!

Come on, another!

Drink!

Hey, Shu Lang?

Shu Lang?

You Shu Lang?

Are you listening?

Fan Xiao?

What's wrong?

Why so quiet?

And your voice, why's it hoarse?

I drank too much last night.

I blacked out for a bit.

Why are you calling so early?

You really did drink.

My car's in for service, remember?

You're driving me to the Bohai meeting.

Right.

Give me 20 minutes,

Give you what?

Hello?

You Shu Lang?

Fuck.

I brought that turtleneck you wanted.

You drank so much you puked on your shirt?

Got a cigarette?

I'm out.

Your throat's wrecked.

Skip the smoke.

Here, have some water.

Cigarette. I need a cigarette.

What's wrong with you?

Your girlfriend parties that hard?

Damn it, I think I was molested.

What?

By who?

It wasn't your girlfriend?

Is this like the drug from last time?

I don't think so.

Last time, it only heightened desire.

But last night, I lost consciousness completely.

Your lip's split,

- Don't touch me. - Let me see.

Does it hurt?

A bit.

Those are... bite marks?

Looks like it.

Anywhere else under your clothes?

Yeah.

Some pervert.

A real sicko.

So...

Just groping.

Nothing more happened.

Think back.

Did anyone act that way toward you before?

Only you are clingy around me.

The rest are decent people.

I'm trying to be serious,

and you're joking?

My head is a mess.

I've got nothing.

I did go too hard.

Next time, I'll be gentler.

Shu Lang, I'll find that bastard for you.

He will pay.

Yes, for the parking lot,

I need all the monitoring videos during this period.

You mean my drive recorder

took a video of the offender harming you?

Yes, monitor video showed that

your dash cam was directly opposite my car

and it was turned on at that time.

So, could you please help provide me with evidence?

Hello, sir. Welcome to Fujin Club.

Do you have a reserved private room?

I'm waiting for somebody.

Sure. Please call me if you need anything.

Shu Lang.

Fan Xiao.

Sorry to call you out on short notice.

I remember you're hosting a banquet tonight.

I can host clients any time.

I won't skip out on your invite.

No need for politeness between us.

You called, something up?

Yeah.

The one who molested me..,

I found him.
