[Shine On Me]

[Adapted from Gu Man's novel, Shine On Me]

[Episode 10]

So you're calling

to invite me

to your wedding?

You got it.

I need everyone

to come a day earlier to help me out.

"Everyone"?

Yeah, both our dorms.

I don't think I can make it on the 1st.

You know how it is in Finance,

we always have to work overtime at the start of every month.

Even on New Year's Day?

Uh-huh. Pure cruelty, isn't it?

Alright, then.

I'll let you off the hook.

But Xiguang,

are you still hung up on

what happened before graduation?

I've been debating if I should

keep you two at separate tables.

It's fine.

It's all water under the bridge.

Really?

Then why did you insist

I keep it a secret from Rong and Siliang

when you sent those gifts

after coming back from Europe?

You had me so worried

that I even kept my husband in the dark,

just so he wouldn't accidentally blab to Zhuo Hui and others.

Back when I got home from Europe,

I tried messaging everyone,

but couldn't reach any of you.

Then it hit me that you probably switched

to Shanghai numbers.

And you know,

after my QQ got hacked,

I never bothered getting a new one.

So I had to resort to email,

and Xiaofeng was the only one who wrote back.

You can't really blame me for that.

We all switched to work emails, okay?

But I guess you do have a heart after all.

At least you had the decency to ask Xiaofeng

for my new number.

Mainly because you've got a mean punch.

Oh, you're just asking for it, aren't you?

So, since graduation,

you haven't been in touch

with Siliang and the others at all?

I kept thinking I'd reach out later.

And then, next thing I knew,

time had just slipped away.

That's it once you start working.

We only

kept in touch back when we first moved

to Shanghai.

But plans kept falling through,

time after time.

Gradually, we just stopped trying.

Come to think of it,

it's been three whole months since we last saw each other.

Oh, Xiguang,

I forgot to ask.

Why did Rong say that you went abroad for your studies?

I have no idea.

Why would she say that?

Beats me.

It was back when we first moved to Shanghai.

After that, she never really brought it up again.

But since I couldn't reach you back then,

I totally fell for it.

I can't tell you how many times I've cursed you out in my head.

Hey, I'm totally innocent.

Anyway, let's not talk about her.

On the 2nd, I'll be there in person.

Just you wait.

Well, since you put it that way,

now I've got my hopes way up.

Xiguang,

sounds like you're in a great mood.

Really?

Yeah.

I can literally feel the happiness radiating through the phone.

Alright then,

see you soon.

Hanging up now.

See you on the 2nd.

I guess I am in a pretty good mood.

Could it be

because a certain handsome guy

is finally over his grudge against me?

I should probably just

go to the wedding with him.

After all, we literally went through a car wreck

and "jumping off" a building

for this peace and quiet,

so I'd better not mess it up.

Mr. Lin,

I've decided

to accept your friend's invitation

and join you in Shanghai

for the wedding.

We're so happy

to have you.

So how are we getting there?

At 2 PM on the 1st,

I'll meet you

in front of the office.

My documents.

[Happy New Year]

It's freezing.

No way.

A sudden cold snap?

[Celebrating New Year]

By the way,

that's actually meant for your car,

not to be left sitting on your desk.

Wishing it

keeps you safe on the road.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.]

I'm not actually wearing this.

I'll take it off as soon as I get out of the car.

I'm just wearing it for now to block the wind.

Nie Xiguang.

This is the first time I've ever brought

a plus-one to a friend's wedding.

So...

could you please not make me

feel like you're just here

to pull an overtime shift with me?

I couldn't help it.

This cold snap caught me completely off guard,

and I don't have a single warm thing to wear here.

Plus, I woke up too late to go shopping.

Get in the car.

I'm taking you somewhere.

Where to?

A former patient of mine

in Suzhou

deals with a few clothing brands.

Let's go see what she has for you.

Is that really necessary?

Yeah.

I've never taken a girl shopping

for clothes before.

I'd like to give it a try.

Any problem with that?

No.

Dr. Lin.

I was so thrilled

to get your call.

I never thought I'd see you in Suzhou,

let alone bringing a guest here

for some shopping.

This must be the young lady, right?

Hello there.

Oh my, you're absolutely gorgeous.

When I was in the hospital,

I used to wonder:

"Who's going

to be the lucky one

to win

Dr. Lin's heart?"

I...

Come on in.

Please.

Miss,

feel free to look around.

I'll go grab the catalog for you

so you can see our full collection.

I think she got the wrong idea.

It's fine.

Misunderstandings get us a discount.

Really?

But is this really okay?

Do you think

it sounds any better if I tell her

I brought my employee here

to buy clothes?

I guess that makes sense.

Then let's just

leave it at that.

How much off?

Maybe

30% off.

Let's just go with that.

This is An.

She has the best taste in our store.

I'll have her

help you pick some out.

Sure.

This way, please.

Dr. Lin,

please, have a seat.

I'll go get some water for you.

Miss.

Thanks.

With such a lovely face and a great figure,

you can pull off anything.

You should really try out all kinds of styles.

What kind of style do you prefer?

Something simple and comfortable.

How about these?

They look nice.

Or

you could also branch out into other styles.

This way, please.

A sweet, girly look like this

would suit you perfectly.

But we're heading to Shanghai.

I'm afraid I'll hold us up if I try on too many.

We're in no rush.

Try them all.

I'll be quick.

♪I'm inside my mind♪

♪Lost in how you shine♪

♪You left your light with mine♪

♪I can't get over the way that you♪

♪Leave me be♪

♪Don't leave it up to me♪

♪Oh it ain't hard to see♪

♪That you're everything I need♪

You really know your stuff.

These look great on me.

♪Baby, I don't wanna forget♪

It's easy when you're a natural beauty.

For a wedding banquet,

this outfit would be

my top pick, Miss Nie.

It's just the right mix of dressy and casual.

Very light and charming.

We also have matching hair accessories to go with it.

Let me do your hair.

It's a complimentary service

we offer to our VIPs.

But I'm a bit short on time.

I do this for my clients all the time.

It'll be very quick,

just a few minutes.

Let's go.

♪You chasing waterfalls♪

Alright.

♪You chasing rainbows♪

All done.

Thanks.

That should keep

Mr. Lin from complaining, right?

Wait,

why do I even care what he thinks?

Thank you so much.

I really love all of these.

I'll take the clothes

and the accessories.

Can you ring them all up together?

The accessories are for free.

As for the clothes,

Mr. Lin

already settled the bill

while An was styling your hair.

You paid for me?

How did you know I wanted these?

I just read you.

These pieces are nice too.

Do you want to give them a try?

You actually have surprisingly good taste.

But we are

running out of time.

Maybe I should come back next time

with Yin Jie and the others.

That works.

I just stepped away for a quick call.

How did you

pay already?

My staff shouldn't have charged you.

You brought your girlfriend

to my shop.

How could I let you pay?

You literally saved my life

back then.

No,

I'm processing a refund for you.

I'll bring her back for more clothes.

If you don't let me pay,

how can I ever come back?

He's right.

Just let him.

I can't do that.

I'd feel terrible about it.

Wang,

she likes it when I buy her things.

I guess I just don't get

your romantic stuff.

Thank you, Wang.

Come back soon.

Will do.

Take care, Dr. Lin.

Goodbye, Wang.

Here is the receipt.

I played along pretty well, didn't I?

I'll pay you back when we get back.

Fifty percent off?

Wait a sec.

Those outfits you picked out were great.

I'm going to buy them right now.

Miss Nie,

we're really running out of time now.

Alright then.

Next time,

I'll come back

with Yin Jie and Yuhua.

There's no problem

with you coming back later.

But I should give you a heads-up.

About what?

If you don't bring me along,

you might not get the discount.

[Mocona Wedding Art Center]

This one is great.

Let's try another pose.

Give me a bigger smile.

Perfect.

Nice.

Dr. Lin,

I thought you weren't going to make it.

And this lady is...?

She's Nie Xiguang,

the girl who fell after you gave her that scare.

Didn't you ask me

to invite her?

Oh, right.

I'm so sorry.

It totally slipped my mind in all the chaos.

I really didn't mean it last time.

I have a fear of heights

and I get terrified just seeing someone

standing somewhere high.

My apologies for not recognizing you

just now.

Don't worry about it.

It was

mostly my own doing.

I was terrified at the time.

Yusen was blocking my view,

so I didn't get a good look at you.

He was

incredibly intimidating then.

Lu Sha couldn't stop worrying

after she got back.

But seeing you here

at our wedding

is such a huge relief for her.

I said I wanted a chance to apologize,

and you actually brought her over.

Thanks, man.

But

she seems to think the invitation came from me.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

I almost blew your cover.

Isn't it better to let her wonder a little?

Too bad

she didn't seem...

to suspect a thing.

Lu Sha,

you reacted too fast.

Lin Yusen, you really are

a man of mystery.

Our happy couple,

you're up in 15 minutes.

Let's touch up your makeup

and go over the program.

Okay.

Yusen,

I invited Mr. Li as well.

He's been so worried about you.

Since

you've brought Miss Nie along,

you should introduce her to him.

It'll really set his mind at ease.

No,

- I... - I'd better get to it.

Darling,

can you help me fix my dress?

- Come on. - Let's go.

Shall we

go in?

Mr. Lin,

did she

get the wrong idea?

Does she think...?

What?

Just like when we were buying clothes earlier.

Actually,

a little misunderstanding won't hurt.

I've been single for years.

It's kind of embarrassing

to always be seen alone.

Besides, I'm quite a catch.

You aren't

losing out either.

No way.

It's not like I'm getting a discount.

Really? No?

Alright then.

Mr. Li.

Yusen.

Mr. Li,

how

have you been?

How's your blood sugar?

Have you been sneaking any high-sugar fruits?

Look, I'm a doctor myself,

and your teacher.

I know my own body.

So,

is this your girlfriend?

Hello.

No.

I know Mr. Lin has his principles.

I'm still pursuing her.

Good.

Very good.

It's good to have a goal.

Wait,

why am I nodding?

He's just telling his teacher

that he's pursuing me.

Do I really need to go along with this?

I was just worried

you'd stay the way you were before.

You can't hold a scalpel anymore,

but there's more to life

than the operating table.

No matter what,

you have to take care of yourself

and live your life well.

I will.

What's wrong?

It's been a long time

since I've visited him.

He's an authority in neurosurgery

with students everywhere.

But he carefully nurtured only

a few.

I was one of them,

his last protégé.

I...

let all his hard work go to waste.

But it's not your fault.

Your teacher doesn't blame you either.

Besides, you're still amazing now.

At least,

your future boss thinks very highly of you.

My future boss?

You?

Yeah.

Alright,

it's a deal.

Just make sure

you don't fire me.

It's a deal.

Come on, it's a wedding.

Can you cheer up a bit?

Considering the fact

that I just wasted

being "confessed to" in public

for the first time on you,

the least you could do is brighten up.

Is that so?

Are you really

that unpopular?

You sure snapped out of it fast.

Sen,

finally decided to show off

your girlfriend to the world?

I'm not...

This is Nie, from work.

Lu Sha's scream

startled her so much that she fell

from the building.

Lu Sha felt so guilty about it

that she specifically asked me

to bring her to the wedding.

You know the rules, Yusen.

Last one here has to

knock back three shots.

I'll pass.

I have to drive back

to Suzhou tonight.

Oh, come on.

Rules are rules.

Who here didn't drive?

- Exactly. - Yeah.

Worst case, just take a cab back.

Let me fill your glass.

I'll find someone to do it for me.

Yusen,

you really are

on another level of shameless.

The wedding is about to begin.

Please take your seats, everyone.

Let's welcome

the bride and groom for their grand entrance.

Come on, let's all have a drink.

Cheers!

The food here is actually pretty good.

Maybe I'll have my wedding here too.

You?

By the time you actually find your girl,

the hotel

might have long since

changed its head chef.

Hey, who are you doubting?

By next year...

You prepared a red envelope?

Yeah.

Back home,

we hand out the red envelopes during the toasts.

Where's yours?

I had my wedding gift

delivered to her place ages ago.

Thanks, guys,

for coming to the only wedding

I'll ever have.

Come on.

Eat up.

Enjoy the meal.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

You're with Yusen.

I really shouldn't be taking this.

He doesn't speak for me.

It doesn't feel right.

Just take it.

But that would be double-dipping.

Then you can just

return the favor double.

There's no need.

Keep it.

Alright then.

In that case, I'll take it.

Congratulations.

Come on.

Now that the gift is tucked away,

let's have another round.

Cheers.

Thank you.

- Cheers. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thanks for coming.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Thanks.

Why on earth did you tell her

to pay me back double?

Even for a joke,

it was a bit too lame.

I was taking inflation

into account.

I can't

let my future boss get the short end of the stick.

Oh, thank you so much.

So, what's the plan?

Shall we head back when finished, or what?

Since we're all here,

how about some karaoke?

Let's join wedding chamber games first.

There's enough of us

to back her up.

We can't let Lu Sha get picked on.

We don't have to go to karaoke, do we?

Don't like it?

Just look at my name,

and you'll know singing isn't exactly my thing.

Why are you staring?

It's not like my name is tattooed on my forehead.

Let me think.

"Nie."

It indicates some super-powered hearing.

There's a famous composer named Nie Er.

You must be a natural

with music.

It just means all my talent

went straight to my ears.

I'm only good for listening.

So, are you coming to prank the newlyweds?

Of course not.

Saving up some good karma.

You'll pay for it at your own wedding.

Fair point.

So? What do you say?

Are you coming or what?

I thought you were dying to get married.

You should come and see

how it's done.

Just getting some practice in.

She wants to save up some good karma.

Otherwise, when she has the wedding...

Nie,

are you in that much of a hurry to tie the knot?

You're already worrying about being pranked

at your own wedding?

No, I'm not.

He's just talking trash.

Well...

if you're in no rush,

come join the pranks with us.

On behalf of the groom's squad,

we've decided all the wedding pranks tonight

are for the groom only.

Since this guy is the very first among us

to tie the knot,

we are absolutely green with envy.

If we don't mess with him now,

we'll never get over it.

Am I right, everyone?

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Well,

as the bride's side,

we're totally

with you.

We'll

only mess with the groom, too.

- Groom-only! - Groom-only!

- Groom-only! - Groom-only!

All right.

Let's keep it classy with the pranks, everyone.

The first round is easy.

A quick Q&A.

Our lucky man here needs to tell us:

When exactly did you first meet the bride?

If you get it wrong,

you'll have to carry her and spin around three times.

Three isn't enough.

Make it ten.

Yeah, ten!

- Ten times! - Ten times!

- Ten times! - Ten times!

20 May 2010.

Down to the second.

- Ten times! - Ten times!

- Ten times! - Ten times!

- Ten times! - Ten times!

- Two. - Two.

- Three. - Three.

- Four. - Four.

- Five. - Five.

Lu Sha really found herself a real straight shooter.

- Seven. - Seven.

- Eight. - Eight.

That was a trick question.

Who could possibly remember it down to the second?

Looks like we've got another stickler over here.

She took a hit to the head.

That's why she's a bit rigid.

As if any of you could remember.

Of course.

Try me.

What?

When

did you first meet

your future wife?

Dude, you're still single.

15 January 2011.

Seven twenty-eight

and fifty-two seconds sharp.

I get it now.

You can just wing it.

Nice try,

but still no luck.​​

I'm not letting you hang out with Shengyi anymore.

You picked up those bad habits way too fast.

Didn't you say you wanted to keep your karma clean?

I was just checking it out.

I never actually joined in on the hazing.

Besides, I've figured it out.

I'm still young. Marriage is a long way off.

So there was no need to worry about my karma so early.

Not necessarily.

It depends on the other's...

Actually, Shengyi mentioned

you're looking to get married sooner than later.

Don't worry, Mr. Lin.

I won't use

the tricks I just learned

at your wedding.

I'm thrilled to hear

that you'll be at my wedding.

But I bet you won't

have the time for pranks.

How is that possible?

If I'm at the wedding,

how could I not have time to prank the couple?

Just you wait.

I can't wait to see Mr. Lin

get roasted as a groom.

I will.

Xigua?

Xigua!

Boss.

Xiaofeng.

What are you guys doing here?

Nie Xigua,

you'd better start explaining yourself.

Didn't you say

you were gonna be stuck in Suzhou working overtime

and couldn't get away on the 1st?

Boss, let go.

Just let me explain my way out of this.

You never said

you were coming to Shanghai today.

You look amazing today.

I didn't even recognize you at first glance.

Nie Xiguang,

you're working in Suzhou?

We all heard

you went abroad to study.

Boss,

when did you get back in touch with Xiguang?

You didn't say a word.

Xiguang,

I really thought

you were studying abroad.

I changed my number in July

and tried calling you, but I couldn't get through.

I am working in Suzhou.

In July, I was overseas

and didn't have international roaming turned on,

so I couldn't pick up.

And another thing,

why does everyone keep saying

I went to "study abroad"?

It was just a study tour, not a full degree abroad.

It was basically just two months

of traveling.

A study tour?

Yeah.

I went with Jiang Rui.

So you weren't studying abroad.

No.

Xiguang,

Boss was setting up the wedding venue today,

why didn't you come?

I...

Honestly,

you really should have come.

You can learn a lot from the experience.

By the time you tie the knot,

you'll have a handle.

Plus,

decorating a wedding venue

is actually a lot of fun.

I've always been the lazy one.

You guys know that.

By the way, Xiguang,

I want to apologize

for what happened before.

Sorry

for misjudging you.

It's only after being in the real world

that I realized how rare

our bond from college truly is.

Now that...

I've found my happiness,

I hope you

find yours too.

Seriously,

don't just sit on the sidelines.

Go find your Mr. Right.

Ye Rong!

Xiguang.

Xigua.

Aren't you going to introduce us?

So, you actually had

a nickname like that?

How come you never told me?

Hello, everyone. I'm Lin Yusen.

Hi.

We're Xigua's classmates from college.

I figured.

Xiguang has mentioned you before.

Mr. Zhuang,

we meet again.

Mr. Lin.

Wait, you know each other?

I used to work at Shengyuan.

We've met at a meeting.

You told me you couldn't help out

because of overtime.

Turns out you were just busy with your boyfriend,

choosing love over friends, huh?

You should've just said so.

I wouldn't have forced you anyway.

Don't blame her.

Xiguang was supposed to work late,

but an old friend of mine is getting married today,

and she insisted on meeting Xiguang.

That's why I dragged her out here.

Alright.

It's not like I'm actually mad at her.

You went to get the car, right?

Where is it?

It's blocked in.

The police can't find the other car's owner yet.

Afraid you'd get restless waiting,

so I came over first.

So we're stuck...?

Just a little longer.

It shouldn't delay our trip

back to Suzhou.

You're heading back to Suzhou tonight?

But you have to come back tomorrow.

Wouldn't that be exhausting?

What's exhausting about it?

Anyway,

her boyfriend is doing all the driving.

Xiguang,

you're incredible.

Only six months since graduation,

and you've already landed such a handsome boyfriend.

Exactly.

And you kept it from me.

Alright, spill it.

How did you two meet?

Who made the first move?

Zhuang Xu,

where are you going?

I'm going to hail a cab.

Why go somewhere else?

Can't you get one here?

You can get one here if you want.

Stop right there.

Wait, why did they leave?

Didn't they say this was the best spot

to catch a cab?

Maybe it's easier to find one if we spread out.

Oh, there's one.

Xiang Qun, go flag it down.

Well, Xigua,

we're heading out too.

You're coming with Xigua

for our wedding, okay?

Definitely.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Bye.

Is the car still blocked in?

I want to get back to Suzhou a bit early.

Forget that.

I'm taking you out.

I can't just

bring you out here all happy,

only to take you back looking so miserable.

Do I really look like that?

Your tears are practically welling up.

So,

do you want to see the night view,

or catch a movie?

Or,

if you're into games,

we could hit up

one of those arcades.

You know...

the ones

where you can dance,

shoot hoops,

and race cars.

Then let's check out the night view,

catch a movie,

and then hit the arcade.

Nie Xiguang,

you really want it all, don't you?

Quick, help me check

if I have enough cash on me.

There's a bank over there.

I'll go get some.

Is it really not enough?

Actually, there's plenty left.

I'll go get more.

Tell me, Miss Nie,

just how much of my money

are you planning to blow tonight?

No, don't.
