[Our Secret]

[Episode 21: Together Forever]

Su, Xian's original comics IP is very good.

There's no problem for us to expand it to 200 chapters.

We can even adapt it for animation or a game.

Something like that can definitely make a hit.

Director Zhang, sorry, but I can't sign the contract.

Director Zhang, Xian has never signed a contract before.

She needs some time to think about it.

Miss, since you've agreed to work with us,

how could you change your mind?

I'm really, really sorry.

The artists whom I signed for my comics app are all professional cartoonists popular on Weibo.

If you refuse to work with me because of your own reasons,

what will people think of you when word gets out?

Director Zhang...

Miss, you should know what the right thing to do is.

Please sign it.

The right thing to do? What does that even mean?

"Party A and party B shall collaborate upon mutual consent."

No one should be forced to sign anything.

Zhou Siyue, we are talking about Ding Xian's job opportunity...

And I'm doing this for Director Zhang's own good.

If you sign a contract hastily before reaching an agreement,

aren't you afraid that people will question

your decision-making ability when something goes wrong with the project?

As for this IP, its greatest value lies in Ding Xian herself.

She always stays true to herself.

So, from the business point of view,

Ding Xian is not the best commodity for you, Director Zhang.

Here, change your shoes.

How come you brought me a pair of shoes?

I bought them on my way over here.

It's okay. You are wearing such a lovely dress.

Let me do it.

How did you know my feet hurt?

Because mine hurt as well.

Do they fit?

Xianxian.

Xiansian, I don't understand.

Don't you want to be looked up to and live a better life to become...

Senior Brother,

I just want to be who I want to be.

I thought we were the same kind.

We used to be.

Su.

Director Zhang,

I'm sorry about today...

Don't worry about it.

I offered her the opportunity mostly on account of you.

Why are you helping her this much?

If I'm right, you like her, don't you?

Director Zhang, let me walk you to the car.

Su, girls like her tend to target capable and rich guys like you.

Director Zhang, with all due respect, I don't agree with you.

I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from the project this time.

I think I dreamed of a scene like this before.

You dreamed of me?

Yeah.

Yes. You were holding my hands like this in my dream.

Back then, I thought I'd never have a chance to be with you,

so I had a lot of dreams about you.

I'm sorry, Ding Xian.

I promise you I won't let you be wronged again.

How are you going to explain this to Xing Lufei?

How's this her concern?

She likes you.

How's that my concern?

- Then she and I... - How's that your concern?

Zhou Siyue, you are avoiding my questions.

I didn't expect you'd feel insecure because of somebody like Xing Lufei.

Well, I didn't expect

you'd feel insecure because of somebody like Su Bocong.

I didn't feel insecure.

No way.

But somebody got so jealous even when I talked a few more words with Su Bocong.

Ding Xian, I've always thought...

I knew what I wanted.

But later on, I realized. If there is no you in my world,

then it's all meaningless.

We have a long way to go. Let's go together. Okay?

Zhou Siyue,

for all these years,

my feelings for you have never changed.

If I say yes, promise me that you will never give up on us.

I promise.

We'll be together forever and ever.

♫ In the sleepless winter night, a season to say goodbye ♫

♫ I try my best to be brave ♫

♫ We will keep on going like this ♫

♫The secret of the answer, an insoluble question♫

♫ All comes down to a simple thank you ♫

This is correct. And...

- there are 16 rooms altogether, right? - That's right.

And then...

Zhou Siyue.

Brother Siyue, here, after the awards ceremony,

Mr. Chen of Hongguang Tech left you his card and asked you to call him.

By the way, did your idea work?

I've thought it over.

My purpose in life is to eat.

If I don't make a lot of money,

why do I have to work my socks off?

Morning.

Morning.

I can carry it myself.

Get on the bus.

Senior.

Okay, I got it.

Sit.

- Maybe I should move to the other side. - Sit tight.

Ding Xian, have you finished the news release of the Comic-Con?

It must be published in the public account today.

When did you tell me to do that?

It was decided at the meeting last night. You were absent.

Okay, I'm on it.

We should also write the competition report.

Dong Zhengfei...

He wants to be the team leader, yet he doesn't do anything. Shame on him.

Yuan Fang, I'll do it. It's okay.

You can rest.

Thank you, Siyue.

Could you help me get my bag?

Thanks.

Music?

♫ Can I spend the night? ♫

♫ Write a song for this time ♫

♫ It's been a long day, haven't talked ♫

♫ Would you believe it? I could feel you there ♫

I'm finished. You?

Not yet. You can take a nap.

Okay.

♫ It's been a long day since you're gone ♫

♫ Would you hear me... Would you hear me now? ♫

♫ I'm not the one who doesn't want to fall in love that we could have ♫

♫ I'm just the one who doesn't want to give you nothing but this glime ♫

♫ You got to stay in the light, all right I'm going to be another side ♫

♫ It has been a long day, a long day, I haven't found you ♫

♫ You got to stay in the light, all right I'm going to be another side ♫

♫ It has been a long day, a long day, I haven't heard from you ♫

♫ And I've been waiting too ♫

I didn't know Zhou Siyue could be this gentle and considerate.

I didn't know either.

Let's go, Brother Siyue.

How clueless you are!

Wake up.

We've arrived?

Hello? Ms. Sun.

Ding Xian, the latest chapters of The Shadow have gained a great response.

After discussing it, we've decided to update every three days.

If it's okay, could you send me a new chapter tonight?

Tonight?

Yes, tonight.

I see.

I need to finish a new chapter by tonight. I have to go now.

Zhou Siyue, would you like to have dinner with me?

- If you don't want to, I know a place... - Could you stay away from me?

- I'm leaving. - Bye.

Do you really hate me that much?

I've been chasing you for a long time.

Everybody can see that.

How is she better than me?

She's better than you in everything.

Are you kidding me?

You locked Ding Xian in the dressing room that day, didn't you?

Xing Lufei, let me tell you one last time.

I like Ding Xian only.

[Shenhai Financial Center]

I've heard about what happened between you and Director Zhang.

Why were you so reckless this time?

I'm sorry, Mr. Ma.

It's my fault. I'll do my best to make up for it.

Su, do you know why I chose you to be my partner for a startup?

Because you knew what you wanted even at such a young age.

And you were more ambitious and mature than your peers.

But now, looks like you are still too inexperienced after all.

Mr. Ma, I heard you.

By the way, I have a new project, and I need someone to follow it up.

Since you happen to have time, I'll let you take care of it.

[Information of Professor Ye Song's team in the experiment group of Huaqing Uiversity]

Boss... waiting for Xian's reply?

I didn't expect you'd also come to this.

What goes around comes around.

Yet you haven't even had a chance to be in a situation like this.

I find that sometimes you are so mean.

Professor Ye.

Siyue, Mr. Chen of Hongguang Tech came to me yesterday.

He's very interested in your robot, and he wants to work with our team.

Mr. Chen of Hongguang Tech?

Yes.

It does ring a bell.

I remember now.

He's the one who asked me to give you his name card

after the award ceremony of the robot design competition.

What does their company do exactly?

You don't know?

Hongguang Tech is the most authoritative intelligent robot company in China.

Their main products are humanoid robots.

Professor Ye, I don't want to work with them.

Are you out of your mind?

Working with Hongguang is not only profitable,

but also a good opportunity to work with the top teams in China.

How could you give up on something like that?

It's true that Hongguang Tech is good,

and it can be considered the best option for us at the moment.

But why does a high-end technology company

want to work with a team of sophomores?

And our current robot technology is not perfect,

neither does it have a clear direction for application.

It may not be clear now, but it doesn't mean it'll stay unclear forever.

That's why it's suspicious.

They could've gone to a team with much better performance and techniques.

Or they could've come to us when our techniques have improved.

I suspect that the cooperation is just an excuse

since they came to us at this time.

Their real purpose is to buy out our patents.

But a buy-out of patents is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Right?

When we aren't even sure about whether we share the same cooperation concept,

selling our patents means we'll have to hand over all the results

of our years long research.

Are you willing to do that?

Professor Ye, I think you should reconsider it.

If Zhou Siyue doesn't want to do it, I can lead my team to work with Hongguang.

Let me think about it.

Bye, Professor.

I worked the whole evening on the draft. It was great to finally get to enjoy some nice food.

Aren't you tired?

No. I love drawing,

so I don't feel tired.

It's just... I ate too much.

Ate too much? Then why are you still buying these many snacks?

We girls have different stomachs for snacks.

What else do you want?

I want ice cream.

Isn't that too cold?

Let's buy one. I'll take one bite only.

And the rest?

You finish it.

I don't want it.

Don't be this cruel.

What flavor do you want?

Blueberry.

Blueberry.

So cold.

Just stop eating it.

No. It tastes very good.

I don't want to waste it.

Want some?

No. You enjoy it.

Because I bit into it already?

So cold.

Tasty, isn't it?

Not bad.

I still have things to do in the lab. You can go back first.

Then I'll go to my studio now.

Okay.

See you.

Don't come to bother her again.

What if I'm here to see you?

This is a young team from Huaqing.

They just won the championship in a robot design competition,

and they already caught Hongguang's attention.

I want you to contact and talk to them.

You want them to join our company?

Not really.

I only want to find out what Hongguang has been up to.

By the way, I have a document here.

It may be helpful to you.

I am really flattered.

But I'm just a student.

I'm not planning on working with any company.

Not working with us,

but working with Hongguang.

You want me to hack information from Hongguang?

People like you would do anything for money, wouldn't you?

I hope you can consider it again.

There's no need for us to continue this conversation.

I will not do anything illegal.

You'll only embarrass yourself if we keep talking.

Maybe you should take a look at this first.

With your health condition,

you should take a walk outside more often, yet you never listen to me.

You'd rather stay inside.

Whenever I take a walk, I start thinking about things.

Reading, however, soothes me.

I will not do anything illegal.

You'll only embarrass yourself if we keep talking.

Maybe you should take a look at this first.

We've found out the guy who set your father up.

[Huaqing University's Academy of Fine Arts Professor Zhou Zongtang's Academic Fraud Case Has Other Secrets]

Siyue, you are here.

You don't have classes today?

The classes are over.

Let me.

Do you feel better?

Much better.

I heard you won a competition again.

Well done.

Because you taught me well.

Here, have some water.

I'm sorry, Dad.

What did you do?

I'm sorry that I had you worried.

You are always a good boy, we know that.

It is never a concern for us if you make a mistake.

Just feel free to do whatever you need to do.

You don't have to worry about anything.

What if that thing requires me to sacrifice something?

No pain, no gain. Right?

If it hadn't been for the accident this time,

I wouldn't have realized that we could be such a happy family.

Remember my words.

No matter what it is,

just go for it as long as you've thought it through.

I have no regrets, and I hope you, my son,

can live with no regrets as well.

I'm sure you'll get well.

I will.

It's such a simple thing. Couldn't you try harder?

Having money is indeed good.

You can even buy the truth.

But I won't change my mind.

Just because you won't do it now doesn't mean you won't do it later.

She likes you for your honesty and integrity.

But one day you'll have to submit to reality.

At that time, do you think she'll still like you?

You and I are not the same kind.

For me?

The shoes are delivered. I'm leaving.

Hey!

What's the rush?

Let me see.

How do you like them?

Very nice.

You have a good sense of taste.

Of course.

I'm the one who picked them.

Why did you transfer me so much money?

Why not? I can't take advantage of you.

Then forget it. I can't take this.

I've earned money lately.

I got paid 4,000 yuan for the comics.

I think making money is kind of easy.

How about this? You can stay home in the future,

and I'll make money to support you.

Look. It really breaks my heart...

to see you being so busy lately.

Showing off.

A little money like thatmakes you satisfied already.

4,000 isn't little.

Besides, I earned the money with my own hands,

and neither did I cheat nor did I compromise with reality.

Let me ask you a question.

If...

If one day you find out that I changed into a person

who has no sense of right and wrong,

what would you do?

Why are you asking that?

Are you unhappy?

I'm fine.

Then... is it because of the competition?

No.

Your experiment?

I asked you the question first. You have to answer me first.

You need to stay true to yourself.

I can't even imagine what you'd be like if you became a bad person.

Hello?

Ding Xian, something went wrong with the copyright of the novel on which your comics adaption is based.

Mr. Su, the blogger of the comics Little Monster's Diary seems to be in trouble.

Hello? Ms. Sun.

Ms. Sun.

Please sit down.

What happened to the copyright of the novel The Shadow?

It was my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to you.

Take a look at Article 39.

After the copyright of The Shadow expires,

the copyright of the comics' adaption of it

shall be owned by the artist and Dream Journey Comics Press.

The ultimate right to interpret is reserved to Dream Journey Comics Press.

So you assigned the copyright to me

because it was already decided to let me bear the risk of infringement.

You may do some research yourself.

It is rare today for a comics press to share an adaptation copyright with an artist.

Aren't we doing this for you?

But you kept the expiration of the copyright from me.

It's stated clearly in the contract, isn't it?

Dream Journey has made plenty enough from the comics adaption of The Shadow to cover the reparation.

I get minimal pay for my work, yet I have to take on half of the reparation.

They planned it all along, waiting for me to jump into their trap.

It's okay. You are new in this industry. It's inevitable to be fooled.

But you never suspected anything when they asked you to share

the copyright with them?

I always believed there were more good people than bad in this world.

Silly girl.

Fine. You are the smartest.

Here.

Have some coffee, and calm yourself.

The latte art you made is so ugly.

I'm not a professional.

You do it if you can.

All right. I'll do it.

Go on.

What should I do?

Hold the coffee with your left hand,

and the milk with your right hand.

Pour slowly little by little from this angle.

Don't pour too fast.

How do you like it?

Wait.

A stamp on you.

Happy now?

Thank you for cheering me up.

What are you going to do next?

I want to talk to the author of the novel.

It's better to settle this issue in private.

But there's another important thing.

Don't forget that you are also a victim.

So, when you talk to the author,

you'd better find some evidence that can prove that the comic press lied to you.

Do you have the contract you signed or chatting records?

Let me take a look at them.

I can take care of this thing myself.

I know you are worried about me,

but I need to learn to solve problems by myself.

Okay. What if you can't find any evidence?

Then I'll have to pay the compensation.

How much?

500,000 yuan. ($73,000)

Don't worry. It won't get to that point.

If worse comes to worst, I can work here with you.

[After verification, the Weibo blogger "Little Monster Diary" is not an official contract artist of the company, and they voluntarily shared the copyright of The Shadow...]

Professor Ye, I want to meet with Mr. Chen of Hongguang.

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Give me.

- It's okay. - So sorry.

Never mind.

I saw your performance during the competition.

But you rejected my invitation, didn't you?

Yes.

I turned you down because I thought we had different ideas about cooperation.

So, why do you want to meet with me now?

Because I need money.

You are quite straightforward.

Honesty, I just wanted to buy out your robot patent.

But now, I've changed my mind.

I want your patent and a two-year labor contract with you after your graduation.

Name a price.

500,000 yuan.

Siyue.

If it's okay, I want the money now.

Young man, don't get so greedy.

It's at least necessary to wait until the contract is signed, isn't it?

Sure. Then I'll wait for your call.

Hello?

Hello? Ding Xian.

I've received the 500,000 yuan from you.

Later, I'll clarify the plagiarism incident for you on Weibo.

Don't worry.

But I didn't transfer any money to you.

A gentleman called me yesterday

and said he'd help you pay the money.

You didn't know?

May I ask the name of that gentleman?

I finally found you.

Xianxian, what are you doing here?

Thank you for paying the money for me.

I'll pay it back to you as soon as possible.

This is the least I can do for you.

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

It's okay. I'm fine.

Really. You can go back. I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

What can I do for you?

Let me take you back.

Senior Brother, can you walk?

Careful.

Miss, where are you going?

Hold on a sec, sir.

Senior Brother. Senior Brother, where do you live?

- Senior Brother. - Jiangnan Avenue.

Jiangnan Avenue.

Okay.

Here we are, Miss.

Senior Brother, wake up. Where exactly?

Miss, are you getting off or not?

What should I do?

Senior Brother, we'll... we'll be there soon.

You...

Senior Brother, you are so heavy.

Senior Brother, you are drunk.

If I weren't drunk,

I'd never tell you this.

♫ Can I spend the night? ♫

Ding Xian,

♫ Write a song for this time ♫

♫ It's been a long day, haven't talked ♫

...I like you.

But, Senior Brother,

I like someone else.

♫ I hope your not alone ♫

♫ It's been a long day since you're gone ♫

♫ Would you hear me... Would you hear me now? ♫

♫ I'm not the one who doesn't want to fall in love that we could have ♫

♫ It has been a long day, a long day, I haven't found you ♫

Sorry about that.

♫ You got to stay in the light, all right ♫

Go back and get some rest.

♫ I'm going to be another side ♫

♫ It has been a long day, a long day, I haven't heard from you ♫

[Shenhai Financial Center]

Mr. Su, someone is waiting for you in your office.

Zhou Siyue?

There's 500,000 yuan on this card.

The PIN number is Ding Xian's birthday.

Please apologize for me to Ding Xian.

What did you do to her?

I'm warning you.

Leave her alone.

Do not push me to my limits.
