[Speed and Love]

[Episode 23]

[Friend request: I'm Mu]

Moon?

Mu?

The moon?

What a coincidence.

Who could that be?

They actually made your dream come true.

Why did you choose this major?

Ever since I was little,

I never had any grand ambitions or dreams.

My only dream

was you.

You gave up this path,

but I had to walk it for you.

I chose his path,

and he fulfilled my dream.

[Sleep early]

How are you feeling?

I still can't engage my core muscles.

You can't handle

this much exercise right now.

Be patient.

How much longer will it take?

You've persevered all these years.

Haste makes waste.

Okay.

[Got it]

All these years,

I've been thinking about you day and night.

Yet you're so indifferent toward me.

I need to do something to shake you up

and see if you can really stay put.

Jiang Mu.

Xining's wedding is next Tuesday.

You must come.

We're like her family.

Besides, you're the only single girl

in our institute.

Come and try to catch the bouquet

for good luck.

Okay, got it.

Alright, I'll send you the invitation.

[Xining's wedding is next Tuesday. Don't forget to go.]

[Wedding Invitation]

I'm getting married next Tuesday.

You promised

you'd come to my wedding.

It will be in Nanjing.

My family's not here.

I only have you, my brother, around.

Although we're not related by blood,

we're still kinda family.

You must come to support me.

I can't let his side think I have no family of my own,

or they'll bully me in the future.

The wedding customs here

require the bride's family to prepare

gold jewelry sets.

You want these?

Of course, I can't be outdone by others.

See you at the wedding.

Don't be late.

Oh, right.

Don't forget to prepare a fat red envelope for me.

Keep acting all cold and distant.

Let's see how long you can keep it up.

[How do you feel now?]

[Mu]

So are you more unhappy

or more happy about it?

I've prepared all the gold jewelry sets.

And I've got the cash gift ready.

Do you still want it?

Yes, of course I do.

I won't be polite with you.

How should I give it to you?

Well,

in a couple of days.

I need to go to Beijing on a business trip soon.

I really am getting married.

It's just that I had a fight with my boyfriend

a few days ago

and, in a fit of anger,

said we'd put the wedding on hold for now.

Just temporarily.

Maybe in a couple of days,

if he sweet-talks me,

I'll feel better

and agree to get married again.

Don't you think

I'm really bad at relationships?

I get sweet-talked by men so easily.

If this keeps up, I'm bound to lose out.

You must back me up.

Don't let me get taken advantage of.

Okay.

Everyone,

today we're focusing on

exoplanetary stellar systems.

By combining high-precision spectroscopic observations

with celestial mechanics simulations,

we analyze the energy dissipation pathways

triggered by tidal torques

and quantify how interactions

with circumstellar disks affect dissipation efficiency.

Our study reveals the coupled evolution of orbital eccentricity

and tidal dissipation,

providing key theoretical support

for accurately predicting the long-term stability of astronomical systems.

Alright. Is everything clear to everyone?

That concludes today's meeting.

Dismissed.

If I don't text you first,

will you never take the initiative to text me?

I'll be back today.

I brought you some Beijing specialties.

I'm not in Nanjing.

To simplify the vehicle structure,

we'll remove

the rear-seat module in the new model.

The overall body structure

will be limited to within 150 parts,

and the vehicle will retain only 3 physical switches

to control the windows, doors,

and ceiling light.

Next, please turn to page 3.

On page 3...

Not replying to me again?

Hello, I'd like a chocolate cake.

Certainly. Please wait a moment.

Ms. Jiang? Long time no see.

Have you been away on a business trip?

I just got back.

I brought some treats for your boss.

He's not here. You can share them among yourselves.

What are these?

Some Beijing specialties.

They taste quite good.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

A "Moon" for you, as usual?

No need. Our boss instructed us

that your orders are on the house.

Please have a seat. I'll make your coffee.

Thanks.

Lightning.

Ms. Jiang,

you're friends with our boss, right?

No wonder Quiet knows you.

Of course. It's my dog.

Xiao Jia,

can I ask you something?

Is your boss married?

He is usually very busy.

I really don't know much

about his personal life.

Then why is he always on business trips?

Is it because of work,

or does he work in another city?

The boss doesn't work for any company.

With his health,

he can't handle a nine-to-five job.

What's wrong with his health?

Well...

He has to run the coffee shop

and also attend school.

If he took on a full-time job on top of that,

even a healthy person couldn't handle it.

Your coffee.

Enjoy.

-Thank you. -Ms. Jiang, I'll be going then.

Thanks for the free coffee.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Ms. Jiang, you...

Tell your boss to come to my place to pick it up.

Hurry, call Boss.

Boss,

Quiet was taken away by Ms. Jiang.

Okay.

What did he say?

He just said

he got it.

Got it?

Lightning.

Baby Lightning, did you sleep well?

Good boy. Look at me.

Here, here.

Did you sleep well?

Tell me, did you sleep well?

Give me a hug.

Give me a hug.

Alright. Mommy will take you out to play.

Let's go.

Come on!

At least he has Lightning to keep him company.

I have nothing.

Send me your address.

Building 6, Unit 4,

Apartment 302, Jingyuancheng.

I'll be there in 30 minutes.

It's strange.

Over the years,

I've met so many people—

handsome ones,

wealthy ones,

highly educated ones—

yet none of them ever made my heart race again.

Sometimes

I even wonder if I've lost

the ability to feel that spark.

However,

after seeing Jin Zhao again,

the uncontrollable nervousness and excitement

made me realize...

that maybe

only this man before me

can easily stir my heart.

Have you had dinner?

I ate on my way back.

Didn't I give you the apartment number?

Why didn't you come up?

He's not home.

You're living at his place now?

We don't own this place.

We rent it together.

Aren't you getting married?

You're not planning to buy a house?

We can't afford it.

He earns just over 4000 a month.

After insurance and provident fund, there's not much left.

I'm just an intern.

I was thinking that once I go full-time,

I could save a bit more to help him.

Besides, the wedding was called off,

so buying a house isn't urgent anymore.

I thought I'd just find a place to get by.

How dare you mention the wedding again?

How dare you lie?

And how dare you believe it?

Where are my gold jewelry sets and cash gift?

They're in the car.

Want me to bring them now?

No rush. Just keep them with you.

It's not like they'll run away.

I just finished dinner.

I'll take a walk and see you off.

Didn't Sanlai say Lightning was lost?

How did it end up with you?

You just got back and settled in.

Maybe he didn't want to trouble you,

so he left it with me.

You don't mind the trouble?

It's fine.

Who was it that wouldn't let me keep a dog before?

You've really got a big heart.

You're keeping your ex-girlfriend's dog,

running a coffee shop

named after her,

and now you're even walking the dog with her.

Doesn't your wife mind?

What?

Am I not your ex?

Doesn't your boyfriend mind?

You're out taking a walk with another man late at night.

Of course he doesn't mind.

He even goes out singing with other pretty girls all the time.

Then how does he treat you?

Just so-so.

Just last week we had a big fight

over a phone.

I've been using my phone for over 2 years,

so I wanted to get a new one.

He said I don't play games on my phone,

so I don't need a good one,

and that I just use it to chat anyway.

So he spent all that money

on gaming gear instead.

Then what do you see in him exactly?

I'm getting older,

so I just settled for someone to get by.

Don't joke like this with me again.

Go back now.

I'm leaving.

Why do you say I'm joking?

Why can't I say these things?

It hurts to hear.

Good, it should hurt.

Do you think these 6 years,

yearning day and night for you,

have been easy for me?

Why did you take my dog away again?

Ms. Jiang, you're here.

Please come in.

Where's your boss?

He's not here.

Have you been busy with work lately?

Pretty busy.

Xiao Jia, I'll get straight to the point.

Has your boss met all the girls

listed in that register?

Of course not.

Our boss is already married.

His wife and child are abroad.

Married?

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

He told us himself.

W-well...

Have you met

his wife and child?

No.

We haven't even seen a photo.

He keeps them very well hidden.

Not even a photo?

Maybe he made it up

and was lying to you.

If he didn't have a wife and child,

what's the point of making up a family to deceive us?

To keep admirers away.

Well,

that does make some sense.

Jin Zhao is pretty much a jerk.

He hates trouble

and often talks nonsense.

He just doesn't want women making a move on him.

I just remembered something.

Last time I went to his place to deliver something,

I saw a woman there.

A woman?

What kind of woman?

Just a very beautiful woman.

How beautiful?

The kind that

has the elegant air of a boss's wife.

Now that you mentioned it, I remember too.

Last time I called his home

to ask about Quiet,

a woman answered.

She also sounded very...

Enough!

Xiao Jia,

give me your boss's address right now.

I'd like to see what she looks like.

You're looking for Jin Zhao?

She even knows the password?

Come in and wait inside.

These are your slippers?

Yes.

I think we only have this one pair of women's slippers.

Why don't you wear these for now?

All guests wear them.

Try them on and see if they fit.

Thank you.

Guest? You're a guest.

Your whole family is guests.

Please, have a seat.

What would you like to drink?

Anything is fine.

"Anything" is the hardest to deal with.

How about coffee?

I brought these beans back from Vietnam.

No need to go to the trouble.

Alright, then just water.

How about this?

Sit for a bit. I'll go take a shower.

You're taking a shower at his place?

Yes. I live here.

-You… -Come on. I stink.

I can't stand it anymore.

A bunch of men were smoking around me tonight.

I really can't stand the smell of smoke. Make yourself at home.
