[City of Romance]

[Episode 19]

What should we do?

It's already so late.

The dormitory gates are already locked.

That's right.

Where should we go?

Sir, I have something to report.

I want to continue the party.

Watch your steps.

Let's go!

Let's... Let's go to Su's home.

Oh, that's not okay.

Alright.

I agree.

There's no one at my home anyway.

I called a cab just now.

Let's call a cab. A cab.

Are you sure?

Well...

Well...

Well, if you all agree, let's

count off.

One!

[Episode 19: Sorry, I Lied Again]

Two!

Four!

What about you, Bai?

Three.

Five.

Six.

Yu Shubo.

Where are they?

They all went to Su Yancheng's home.

They are all drunk, huh?

I just went to buy some water.

You're even busier after your promotion, right?

Whether I'm busy or not, I'm used to it.

Will I need to

make appointments to see you from now on?

It's not that dramatic.

My work is just to help everyone

do some trivial things that I'm capable of.

I've always wanted to ask you

what is most important to you.

You always take such good care of everyone around you.

You fulfill every request raised by others,

and you never say no.

Even when you're tired,

you never show it in front of others.

Because you're afraid of showing negative emotions

that might make others unhappy.

Am I right?

You're right.

You're correct.

But I think

at least when people mention Yu Shubo,

they will all think that he's a good person.

But if you don't act this way,

will they just say that you're a bad person?

Actually, you don't need to butter everyone up.

You should be aware of that as you major in psychology.

You are the protagonist of your own life.

You should be kinder to yourself.

I want to do that, too.

I want to do that, too.

But honestly speaking,

sometimes, it's really tiring. It's extremely tiring.

I'm so tired that I want to say dirty words.

Have you ever heard me say dirty words?

But when... when you really see that many people

feel happy because of

what you've done,

and they want to be your friends,

you'll feel that it's all worth it.

And you won't feel tired anymore.

It's really worth it.

But sometimes, sacrificing too much unilaterally

might also put pressure on others.

Especially those who care about you.

Okay. Then I'll give it a try

and put myself first.

Then let's give it a try right now.

Now,

I'm going to do something.

You can refuse it.

What is it?

Xiaomiao, Xiaomiao.

Are you sure you can handle this?

It's okay.

Take good care of Su Yancheng.

I'll figure out a way.

Alright. I'll be there to help you soon.

Let's go.

I always have to prop you up.

What are you doing?

What's going on here?

It's so hot.

You're quite unrestrained, aren't you?

Why is it stuck?

My head has grown bigger.

Stop taking it off. Be good. Stop taking it off.

You reek of alcohol right now.

You stink.

Come on. Lie down. Rest for a while.

Be good and wait for me here. I'll get you some water.

Let's hug each other.

Let's hug each other?

Let's hug each other.

Xiaoduo.

Don't go now.

I'm still here.

You know what?

Hmm?

I really like Bai Xiaoduo.

I know.

She's really adorable.

Yeah.

I want to say that I've been really upset in the past few days.

Why?

She promised to be my girlfriend.

But she tries to hide me.

I'm sorry.

She also promised me that

she wouldn't lie to me again.

But she lied to me again.

She told me that Yu Chi needed to see her this afternoon.

But then I saw her

smiling brightly at Yu Shubo.

I saw it all.

I feel so hurt inside.

I feel so hurt.

It turns out that he's upset about this matter.

Why didn't this fool ask me?

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

I feel really awful.

Don't throw up.

Have you swallowed it?

But I won't be disgusted by you, either.

It smells so good.

Hey, Miss.

Alright. I got it.

I'll contact him tonight.

Okay.

Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang.

Get up now.

Uncle Su and Auntie Su are back.

What auntie?

The dorm supervisors aren't aunties. They're like moms.

Get up, get up.

Get up now.

Get up, get up!

Su Yancheng.

Wake up, wake up.

What's that sound?

Is your mother back home?

-I think my parents are back home. -Get up now.

Your parents are back.

How can you go on sleeping here?

I'll go downstairs first.

It's not like we've done

something inappropriate again.

Well, we're lying here together,

and it's not good if your parents see us.

I'll go downstairs first.

What's wrong with that?

You once ate the noodles she made.

I haven't met her in person yet.

This is not okay.

Calm down for a moment first.

The best solution now

is that we both go downstairs to meet them.

Otherwise, if my parents

come upstairs themselves later,

it'll be even harder to explain it.

But...

I'm worried that they might have a bad impression of me.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Wake up.

-Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Su. -Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Su.

Who are you?

W-We are Su Yancheng's friends.

We attended that celebration party,

so we were drunk.

I'm sorry, Mr. Su.

I'm sorry, Mr. Su.

Where's Su Yancheng?

Su...

You two...

Mom, Dad.

This is my girlfriend, Bai Xiaoduo.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Su.

I was drunk last night.

She stayed to take care of me.

It's getting late, so you all should...

Yancheng,

won't you introduce your friends to us?

Xiao Yang, Lin Xiaomiao, Hua Dao and Chopper.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone.

How about this?

Let's have a meal together.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

We still have something to do at school today, right?

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

-Next time. -Next time.

Mr. and Mrs. Su, we'll...

We'll leave now.

Come visit us again when you have time next time.

Okay.

Ask Su Yancheng to stay for a moment.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you stay for lunch?

That's right, Xiaoduo.

Stay and have lunch with us.

Don't be shy with me.

You must have had a hard time taking care of him last night.

Okay.

Yancheng.

Your father wants to talk to you.

Xiaoduo, let's go upstairs first.

We'll wait for you upstairs.

Good for you.

You've got a girlfriend, but you didn't even tell us.

Why are you standing there?

Sit down.

Hey, Su Yancheng.

Sit here.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Sit here, and I'll tell you.

Your mother and I

have already prepared everything for you to study abroad.

I won't go.

Studying abroad is a good thing.

Aren't you always interested in psychology?

It's a perfect opportunity to further your studies overseas.

It's always like this.

You've already arranged everything.

What do you mean by "it's always like this?"

Are you saying that

I need to discuss everything

that concerns you with you first?

Su Yancheng.

Look what you've become.

Do you just want to hang out, drink and mess around

with these people?

They are my friends.

Friends?

Let me tell you.

With friends like these,

you won't achieve anything in the future.

Anyway,

I just want to say this.

After you graduate,

go abroad immediately.

There's no room for discussion.

Anyway,

I've paved

the path for you.

It's up to you how to proceed.

Sit here and think it through carefully.

Xiaoduo, see if there's anything else you'd like to eat.

It's okay, Mrs. Su. Any food is fine for me.

Alright. That's it for now. Thank you.

Mom, why did you suddenly come back?

I have to attend a seminar today.

I came back to get changed.

Your father's company is preparing to launch a new drug.

He also came back to pack his luggage.

I don't know whether he'll be able to

come back for the Spring Festival this year.

It doesn't matter.

I don't have any expectations for him.

Yancheng,

you should be more understanding towards your parents.

I'll go order some desserts additionally.

Wait for me.

Okay.

Although he doesn't seem to talk much,

he's actually quite sensitive.

Maybe it's because we

don't communicate with him quite often.

Mrs. Su,

do you know how we met?

I got to know him through his drawings.

Oh, really?

He has always liked drawing since he was a kid.

He's also the President of our school's comic club.

I didn't even know that.

His father and I are usually too busy.

We rarely have time to pay attention to his growth.

Be careful not to fall.

Sit tight. I'll push the swing for you.

Baby, are you having fun?

Mommy, push it higher!

Okay. I'll push it higher.

I have a deep impression of that boy.

A towel was wrapped around his waist.

He's also a very good friend of ours.

Thank you, thank you.

Did you drink a lot last night?

I didn't drink much.

Thank you so much

for taking care of him all night.

It's nothing, Mrs. Su. It's what I should do.

You didn't get much rest, either.

It's okay.

What are you talking about?

We're talking about how grumpy you usually look.

Come on. Just eat.

I ordered it for you additionally. Taste it.

Xiaoduo.

Are you a local from Man City?

No, Mrs. Su. I'm from Rao City.

That's quite far away from here.

It's not easy for a young girl to come to this city herself

and study here.

If you have any difficulties, you can tell Yancheng.

Okay.

What do your family members do?

Mom.

They're just doing some small business.

It's related to traditional Chinese medicine.

Oh, really?

Your family members are also doctors?

Yes.

Both my great-grandfather

and grandfather engaged in this field.

Now my father is doing it.

So your family could be considered a traditional Chinese medicine family?

I suppose so.

It has been passed down through so many generations.

So now, are you doing something like

a chain of traditional Chinese medicine therapy centers, or...

Yes.

Oh, no. I bragged accidentally.

I was talking without thinking.

Yancheng's grandmother also studies traditional Chinese medicine.

You and she could exchange ideas if there's a chance.

It's delicious.

Just eat, Yancheng.

Do you think

your parents have a good impression of me?

They like you very much.

Really.

Really?

That's good then.

I was worried she would...

give me five million yuan to make me leave her son.

I was worried that your dad might give me a cheque

to make me leave you.

Then we could share the money.

I would give it all to you.

Xiaoduo.

Actually, I've thought about whether we should

communicate with our child

in a different way as parents.

But with his father's temper like that...

Today, because of

the matter of sending him abroad,

they had another unpleasant argument, didn't they?

Mrs. Su.

Will he still go abroad?

About this matter,

just let him tell you himself after lunch.

Xiaoduo.

I'll find a way to stay in our country.

We've arrived.

Hmm.

I'll go back then.

Let go of me first.

You let go first.

Alright.

Go back now.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going back?

So you're not leaving now?

Someone is following me.

I have to go.

Are you such a clingy boy?

Yes, I am.

Turn right.

Alright.

March forward.

[All Wishes Come True]

Xiaomiao, I'm back.

Xiaomiao, I'm back.

Oh.

What's wrong?

Who bullied you?

Shouldn't you tell me something?

I should tell you something?

Are you talking about the incident that

I had lunch with Su Yancheng's mother just now?

That's...

I got it.

You're talking about the incident of having a drink last night?

Just tell me. What's wrong?

I'm talking about

why you didn't tell me first

as soon as you started dating Su Yancheng.

I just didn't know how to tell everyone,

so I thought I'd let nature take its course.

So in your heart,

I'm just like everyone else?

No, you're my best friend.

How about this?

No matter what happens from now on,

I'll tell you first.

Okay?

That's more like it.

Here you are.

Thank you.

By the way, when are you leaving school?

I plan to leave after my last exam.

What about you?

About the same.

My father has been urging me for a long time.

Will your Su let you go?

You're becoming more and more like Xiao Yang.

Tell me about it now.

When did you two start dating?

Which of you confessed first?

Be frank and I'll forgive you.

[Fun Song]

I thought you were going to treat me to cafeteria food.

You've done me such a big favor.

How could I just treat you to cafeteria food?

Then let's have a set meal for two.

Okay. What flavor of ice cream would you like?

We have strawberry and macadamia nut flavors.

The strawberry flavor.

Okay.

So you can eat nuts now?

You...

actually remember that I can't eat nuts?

I remember that

in our freshman year,

we were having a meal together.

You ate a peanut kernel then.

Your mouth swelled up like a carnivorous flower.

I must have looked really ugly then.

No, you didn't look ugly at all.

Between the two of us,

the most memorable things

seem to be some embarrassing moments.

[Two years ago]

Congratulations.

Thank you.

One.

[Honorary Certificate]

Two.

Done.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Here's a tissue for you.

[Comic Club]

Thank you.

Actually, you don't need to feel bad.

I think you drew quite well.

Really?

Yes.

Let's go.

Are you free tonight?

[Comic Club]

Let me treat you to dinner.

Consider it as a gift in return for comforting me just now.

Today, we're gathering here

for our most outstanding schoolmate, Yu Shubo.

Let's celebrate in advance

for his successful election as the student council chairman.

Cheers!

[Gudis Bistro]

Alright.

I'm sorry.

My friend is drunk.

There's something I forgot to tell you.

What is it, Yu?

I like you.

Hey!

Hey!

You... You... You...

Are you okay? Get up now.

Hey, where are you going?

Hey!

Shall we play a round?

No, no, no. No, thanks.

I actually have other things to do.

So you're just afraid of losing to a girl

and being embarrassed?

Come on.

Oh... Oh, no.

Yu... Yu Shubo.

Yu...

The ambulance.

Yes, yes, yes.

I should call the ambulance.

Wait for me!

I don't need it.

Slow down.

The ground is slippery. Be careful not to fall.

Thank you.

Yu Shubo!

It's raining. Why aren't you using an umbrella?

It's not far away from here.

Be careful!

Yu Shubo, I didn't mean to do it.

Yu Chi.

I don't know what I did to make you misunderstand.

But...

I hope that we can keep some distance.

How far away do you want me to stay from you?

The farther, the better.

Thanks. I have to go.

The farther, the better.

Have you heard?

Yu Chi has gone abroad as an exchange student.

Really? She's only a freshman and is already studying abroad?

Although it was out of good intentions,

I always caused trouble for you.

No.

I also did

many wrong things.

About last night...

Yu Chi, actually today I...

I was drunk last night.

I was also drunk last night.

Here's your food.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

Okay.

It's quite delicious.

You played well.

Thanks.

How was it when you talked to your parents?

They want me to study abroad.

Study abroad?

You're going to study abroad?

What about me if you go abroad?

Never mind. It's not important.

What about Bai Xiaoduo if you go abroad?

Have you told her?

Why are you going to study abroad?

My dad wants me to study psychology abroad.

It would be fine for me.

You two just started dating each other.

There's a very high breakup rate in long-distance relationships,

not to mention the international ones.

I know.

I'll figure out a way.

Don't tell her yet.

Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret.

Xiaomiao, I have something to tell you.

Hey!

Can't you see I haven't sent it?

I was just kidding.

Su Yancheng.

I have something to tell you.

Let's meet at the library later.

[Library]

Su Yancheng.

I've applied to study abroad next semester.

Before I leave,

there's something I want to tell you.

Do you remember that

when we met for the first time,

it was also at this place?

Wasn't it in the pathology class?

You really don't remember it.

I'm sorry.

I was wearing a short skirt that day.

I was so careless that someone took photos of me sneakily.

You helped me.

I remember it now.

Did that person give you any trouble afterwards?

It's all fine now.

It was all thanks to you at that time.

Otherwise, my photos would have been all over the Internet.

That's good.

In the future, don't climb ladders while wearing a skirt.

After that day, in the pathology class,

I met you again.

The use of the harmonic average is discussed in the book.

Determine the questions to be answered and propose a hypothesis.

Identify key quantities and measurement methods.

If I did anything

that made you misunderstand,

I apologize to you.

It's all in the past.

I sincerely wish you both the best.

I've asked you to come here today

because I have a question for you.

Don't you hate it the most when people lie to you?

Why did you choose someone that is...

I know Bai Xiaoduo likes to lie.

I don't know why

she liked to lie in the past.

But now,

she's trying to become better gradually.

Why can't we give her a chance?

It turns out that loving someone

can really make you abandon all your principles.

I do hate lies,

but I hate the distrust

and trauma caused by lies even more.

Not saying something is also a kind of lie.

It's self-deception.

You should tell Xiaoduo as soon as possible

about your parents wanting you to study abroad.

This difficult issue

should be faced together.
