Any fish?

No.

I was just

resting my eyes.

I wasn't asleep.

I know.

Did I snore?

How could you snore while resting your eyes?

You're right.

Not a single fish bit?

It moved a few times.

If it moved,

it means a fish was biting.

When a fish bites, you need to reel in.

Just reel it in.

But you were asleep.

No, if this keeps up,

when will we ever catch a fish?

I'm wondering

if our spot isn't good.

We should go deeper.

There's no deeper place to stand.

When will we catch something?

Are there no big fish here?

- It's fine. - No, we can't just sit around and wait.

Gao Haiming, look.

You...

I asked the resort owner

for a net.

I don't believe this.

Be careful.

You...

I...

Be careful.

Trying to escape?

Got it.

Lucky I caught you.

Thanks!

- Come on. - Come on. Easy.

The oldest method remains the best.

So?

Realized the lake

isn't so scary after all?

Wasting time can be nice,

but when it counts,

my urgency gets things done.

See? Now we've got dinner covered.

How would you like it?

Let's ask

the resort chef to cook it.

Maybe we could cook it ourselves.

Here.

I didn't expect you to know how to cook.

There's more I can do.

Like what?

Like...

You'll find out later.

I saw you add the vegetables last

when making the fish soup.

That shows you cook often.

Very experienced.

But I am curious,

why would a rich guy like you

need to cook for yourself every day?

My parents were busy when I was young,

so I had to learn to cook.

Here, try some.

Is it good?

It's tasty.

What's wrong?

A man who can cook

is so handsome.

Have more. There's plenty.

Okay.

(Unread Message)

(Mr. Gao, everything's ready.)

(Items arrive around 6:30 PM.)

(Keep your phone nearby.)

Something urgent?

No, just Luo.

By the way,

when can we see the photos we took?

After we get back,

we can load them on the computer.

That's really convenient, huh?

Of course.

Now that we have computers.

Right?

So advanced.

What is it?

A mosquito bite?

Got me before I realized it.

Here, I know a trick.

When I got bitten as a kid,

my grandma

used this method.

The pressing stops itching.

Really?

Well? Still itchy?

Yes.

I-I'll try again.

A cross won't do, right?

Maybe an asterisk.

You need to press harder.

Still itchy?

♪I woke up in a strange place♪

♪The sunlight here is blindingly bright♪

I'm fine. Thanks.

That method works well.

I'll scratch it myself.

♪I've become the center of the story♪

How about we go back and transfer the photos?

Sure.

It'll take 30 minutes?

That long?

(Copying 56 items from camera to computer. 24% complete)

That's very quick.

Be patient.

You'll soon be obsolete.

Of course.

You all will be obsolete too.

Maybe.

Who can say where future tech

will lead?

What do you think the future will be like?

I've heard some companies today

are already researching

more portable digital devices.

Some even suggest

that future phones might combine

communication, photography,

and even more features.

This talk of yours

would sound visionary

if heard in 1999.

But if people

in 2025 heard it,

they'd laugh at you.

I just browsed online casually.

But you speak as if

you know 2025 very well.

I'm just guessing.

Technology advances so fast now.

What you described

will likely happen sooner.

True.

(New Message) (Mr. Gao, I left air cans at your door.)

(Take them in.)

Work this late?

No. How could that be?

I need to take this call.

Hello?

Your super deluxe package

is at the door.

Can you come sign for it?

Okay.

I'm coming now.

Well, Luo said he's delivering documents.

I'll go get them.

Watch this.

Keep it connected.

Okay, go ahead.

(54% complete)

This is so slow.

(67% complete)

Luo Zhou,

I can't believe you.

So that's it.

You could've just asked for a photo together.

(Fondness: 69.9%)

(Why stuck at 69.9%)

(for so long?)

(If fondness reaches 100%,)

(will I return then?)

(Then I'd never see him again?)

Luo Zhou,

you're good at turning everything

into chaos.

Stop. Give back my air cans.

Hello?

Mr. Gao,

the reservation is for 7:30 PM.

Only three minutes are left.

Hurry over.

Or you'll miss it.

Our booked slot

expires soon.

Anything else?

Boss, you got this.

I'm on standby.

I'm your strongest backup.

We'll talk properly when I'm back.

Wait. Hello?

Hello? Where are you?

I'm by the river.

Come out. You'll see me.

♪Old photos, yellowed♪

♪Timelines, tangled♪

♪I boarded a rickety time machine♪

♪Heart pounding, won't stop♪

♪Old times, pass slowly♪

♪In memories, the breeze is soft♪

(Is he finally confessing?)

(Why now?)

(Why no system alert?)

Huan'er.

Huan'er.

I...

Well, I...

It...

You must've checked the weather forecast,

knowing there's a Leo meteor shower tonight.

You turned off the lights

to watch the meteor shower with me.

How romantic.

Yes, because it's easier to see them when the lights are out.

Right.

Such beautiful fireworks.

Huan'er.

Darling, will you marry me?

- Marry him! - Marry him!

- I do. - Marry him!

- Marry him! - Marry him!

I'm sorry, Huan'er.

I wanted to surprise you.

But I ruined everything.

I...

Actually,

perfection is life's biggest taboo.

We can't always chase perfection.

Look at the moon.

Once it becomes full,

it immediately starts waning.

So,

don't always expect

a perfect moment.

I believe

timing trumps ceremony.

Cherish the present.

Actually, every moment

is the best moment.

Don't you agree, Gao Haiming?

Huan'er.

Actually, I...

Answer it. What if it's important?

Hello?

Boss, did it work?

Luo Zhou,

why are you still at the office?

It's better to be important.

Boss, this time,

I do have something important.

Mr. Zhang from Huasheng Supermarket

wants to meet you tomorrow morning.

He's flying to Paris at noon,

so you might need

to come back tonight.

Got it.

Well, about Xinye yesterday,

things are progressing smoothly.

Really?

Good.

You have mints?

Want one?

Sure.

Another one.

Never mind.

Y-You don't eat that.

Then let's listen to music.

Okay.

(I really want to confess to her.)

(But every time I get ready,)

(something comes up.)

(I don't want this either.)

(Sir,)

(you can't even confess.)

(How will you marry her later?)

(I don't want this.)

(I prepared for days.)

(But at the last minute...)

(Here's a song to you.)

(Love Really Needs Courage.)

Well...

I'm so sleepy.

I'll take a quick nap.

I'm good from here.

You can come in late tomorrow.

Get some rest.

You rest early too.

There are 33 cans in total.

This is for you.

Don't open it yet.

Open it at the right moment.

Actually...

Actually, I prepared a lot for today.

72%.

But man proposes, God disposes.

All those air cans

were taken by the cleaning lady.

The LED strip I prepared went off.

It seems everything reminds me

today isn't the right day to say this.

I almost wonder...

I almost wonder

if saying that would bring

the whole building down,

and the moon with it.

But...

But what if?

What if the building stands

and the moon stays put?

Huan'er,

I like you.

Huan'er, I...

- I'm sorry. - I...

No.

(The fondness is rising too quickly.)

(If this continues,)

(the time I can stay here will get shorter,)

(and I'll never see him again.)

(The air of destiny)

What's wrong?

You returned from the business trip looking soulless.

It's nothing. I'm sick.

I'm quite sick.

This time, it might be incurable.

You don't have a fever.

You know nothing.

I just mean... I'm really sick.

Are you overtired from work?

Talk to Gao Haiming...

Don't mention that name.

What are you doing?

I'm looking

at this comic I drew before.

The one where you're the inspiration

for the female lead

inhabited by another soul.

I even took your advice.

Made her a time traveler from the future.

So where is the plot now?

She and her true love are head over heels for each other.

She's about to confess everything to him.

That fast?

So they've decided to be together?

Even though they didn't quite see eye-to-eye before,

and they lacked mutual understanding on many things,

as they got to know and trust each other,

they gradually discovered

many precious qualities in the other.

That sparked the most genuine love between them.

Isn't that romantic?

Then what about the ending?

The ending is definitely

that the female lead stays in this world

and stays forever with the male lead.

What?

So she will just abandon her family and friends

and her career in her own world?

For a romance

and a man,

she decides to stay here forever?

Is she crazy?

Huan'er, it's just a story I made up.

Oh, right.

Maybe I got too into it.

Let's skip that.

By the way, that music producer wanted you

to enter that competition, right?

Have you decided?

I don't have much confidence in that competition.

Mengmeng, you can do it.

Trust me.

I trust you.

But you can't predict the future.

Forgotten?

My predictions are spot on.

Listen.

Whatever the outcome of the competition for you,

you will achieve your dream

because of the competition.

Then predict for Hu Tiehan and me.

Mengmeng, I really don't get it.

What's so great about Hu Tiehan?

Why are you so hung up on him?

Is he really the one?

I don't know what's so great about him either.

He's just a silly goose,

a blockhead.

Every time I drop hints,

he seems completely oblivious.

But, Huan'er,

do you understand that feeling?

When he approaches me,

my heart just blooms,

with butterflies taking flight.

Do you get it?

Are you silly?

You've led the way for so long

and taken so many steps toward him.

He's only taken the tiniest step toward you.

And you think it's all been worth it?

I've liked him for eight years.

If he didn't feel anything for me at all,

there's no way I could've lasted this long.

Huan'er,

I can truly feel

his sincerity and hesitation.

But you can't be together.

Why can't we be together?

Because...

(I have two chances left to share spoilers.)

(But I have to tell her.)

Listen to me.

You will get together.

You'll love each other deeply.

You'll share a time of great happiness

and wonderful joy.

But in the end, he'll die in the line of duty.

If that's the case,

do you still choose to be with him?

♪Entwined worries linger♪

If that's truly the case,

then having been happy together is enough for me.

Warning! Warning!

You can't reveal spoilers to any characters.

The system punishment has been triggered,

resulting in time rewinding.

Reminder again.

Don't reveal spoilers more than five times.

Remaining chances: one.

Mengmeng,

you will be incredibly happy.

You have my word.

(Letao Tower)

Regarding the issues everyone just raised,

I'll compile them for Dr. Wei.

Over the next month,

we'll streamline

and upgrade the product.

We aim to launch the new product early next year.

Okay.

Everyone.

The R&D department's

new project's plan and implementation

require your full cooperation.

All priorities align with R&D's plan.

Anything wrong?

Then execute. Dismissed.

(Huge Sale! Clearance Prices!)

Its texture is completely skin-friendly.

(Sale) And we've conducted numerous tests.

It will definitely not harm your skin.

All individually wrapped.

Very convenient.

(Tender Care, Angel for Women) Look.

Then give me a day-use and a night-use pack.

Day and night.

Okay, no problem.

Can I get a black plastic bag?

Sure.

(Sale! Tender Care, Angel for Women)

Actually, menstruation

is a perfectly normal biological process.

It shows our bodies are healthy.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Right?

Here, two extra.

Thank you.

Check out over there.

Okay, thanks.

Hello, Mr. Gao.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Gao.

Are you here to inspect the work?

No.

Just off work and free.

Thought I'd drop by.

No worries. Sales are good today.

Rest assured.

Okay.

Let's grab dinner together after work.

No.

It's just that I have a lot to do today.

I need to clear some inventory later

and then compile some reports.

It's fine. I can wait.

No, don't.

If you're swamped,

I can have Marketing...

No need, really.

Don't get anyone else.

I can do it.

I don't trust others to.

Some things

j-just have to be done by me.

If there's nothing else...

I am quite busy here.

Okay, I'll let you get back to work.

(Sale! Tender Care, Angel for Women)

Bye, Mr. Gao.

(I just don't want it to happen so fast.)
