Original subtitles

-Hi, welcome. -Welcome.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

For two? Please wait a minute.

Please write down your order on the paper.

A 45,000 yuan showerhead.

I must use it to its worth.

You can get a decent one with 5,000 yuan.

But this brand is good too.

It's exclusive.

My mom and uncle refused to buy it for me.

This is actually my living expenses for the coming six months.

What will you do then?

What else can I do?

Beg, I guess.

That is why I'm asking you to buy me lunch, Yuan Song.

Order as you please.

Yuan Song, you have to attend our club's masquerade graduation party.

My list of dream men is done.

Hang on. I did say that I would go, but don't put my name on the list.

Even if I don't, the girls will still ask anyway.

So I just wrote your name.

You're going to graduate soon, so it'll be their last chance.

Can't you just give them a chance to get close to you?

Minmin.

I have a girlfriend.

I know.

Will dancing get you pregnant?

You have been rude to me lately.

Sorry, Yuan Song.

You were too nice to me that it got to my head.

That's fine, but you put me on the name list.

During the Midnight Promise segment, I'll have to remove my mask.

The host will draw lots and the girl with the said number

can choose anyone on the list to dance with.

Do you want to bring your girlfriend?

But she probably won't go.

That would be great.

On that day, there won't only be the Midnight Promise segment,

but there's also the Love Confession segment.

If your girlfriend were to be present, it would be interesting.

If you want to stay inside, then go on.

It's awkward.

I know.

Wipe up.

No, thank you.

By the way...

Why did you come and help me?

It's your classmate's birthday.

You insisted that I drive you here and let others see me.

You even hugged and took advantage of me.

Just by thinking about it, it's pretty obvious.

Why didn't you bring your boyfriend?

I don't want to become my classmates' gossip material.

Also,

we're not at that stage yet.

I see.

It's obvious that your classmate, Amy, likes to cause trouble.

She likes to feel superior.

She added me on WeChat, so I took a look.

A Paris purchasing agent.

-Did she add you? -Yes.

Once you left, she came to me with her phone.

Is she trying to sell you something?

Or maybe she is hitting on me.

That can't be it.

Her husband is in the senior management of a Fortune 500 company.

Are you sure?

No way.

Hey.

What do you think?

Do you think it's true?

Tell me.

Look.

Fortune 500 is here.

Should we be more intimate?

No, let's just act natural.

Luming!

-Hey. -Hey.

-What a coincidence. You're here too. -Yes.

Is she your friend?

Let me introduce.

My girlfriend,

He Fanxing.

This is my good friend, Song Yifan.

-Hello. -Hello.

I heard a lot about you from Luming, but I never had the chance to meet you.

-I'm actually here for business. -All right.

Next time, let me buy you a meal.

Sure.

Go ahead.

Move it. Act normal!

That's enough. She's gone.

You act pretty well.

How can I say that in front of a pro?

Don't flatter me.

What are you looking at?

My boss is here.

So Steven is meeting your boss.

They've probably agreed on the acquisition cost.

Acquisition?

Does your friend work for Aijia?

It's the other way around.

Aijia belongs to him.

Fanxing, you're back.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Did you not enjoy the class reunion?

I'm tired.

All of you are from different worlds.

Since it's a rare event,

everyone would want to show off their good side.

To find balance and pride.

You know yourself the best.

There is no need to be unhappy.

Okay?

I know.

I just feel that...

as I age,

there are more things in this world that I am afraid of.

Are you afraid of class reunions?

No.

I'm afraid that I'll embarrass you

and let you down.

Don't say that.

Ever since you were a kid, when have you ever let us down?

We didn't even kick Canyang out.

What are you afraid of?

Silly child.

Don't they all say

that teachers will only be angrier

when elite students fail?

It would be great if it was just failing a test.

Children are the parents' debts.

We can only accept it.

What else can we do?

You can't stuff him back in the womb after giving birth to him.

Enough, stop whining in front of your dad.

Here, send these to the house opposite.

To our creditor.

How prideful.

Tell him to come over himself.

It's for Yuan Song.

Is Yuan Song here?

Professor He.

Rumor has it that you like Minmin.

Is it true?

Our age gap is huge.

If the rumor was about you and my sister, would you believe it?

Of course.

As if.

She's just a brat.

She's more like my niece.

Hey!

-Help me, I'm getting attacked. -Where are you?

Look at the small map.

GET TO LUOYANG MAIN GATE

-Thank you, Mom. -Thank you, Mrs. He.

You're back.

Yuan Song!

-Why aren't you moving? -I'm coming.

DEFEAT

You!

What's wrong?

You're an adult, but you act like a student when you play games.

What a sore loser.

I was messing with him.

Let go, who are you hugging?

Are you on good terms with Fanxing now?

Unlike before when you kept calling her Ms. He.

Your boss with a straight face.

She is pretty even with a straight face.

Goodness.

You just started working, yet you're already a brownnoser.

Get some forks.

Okay.

Hey.

I thought you were going out with your ex.

I came back after our breakup lunch.

Wait.

Who did you ask to be your--

Don't speak nonsense in front of Yuan Song.

All right.

Since when did you care about your reputation?

Should I be shameless like you then?

Ms. He, please help me out.

I can't find the forks.

It's in that cabinet.

You can't even find that.

How dumb.

I remember it was here.

Isn't it right here?

Got it.

Yuan Song, you've lost a lot of weight.

Are the site visits very tiring?

Eat more, okay?

Eat up.

Goodness, don't pick that up, just put it here.

Thank you, Mrs. He.

Don't worry, I'll help myself.

Good. It's good not to take yourself as an outsider.

We love cooking for all of you.

By the way,

my niece, Lingling, is around your age.

Let me know when you're coming next time.

I'll invite her over too.

You youngsters can--

Mom!

Why are you shouting?

Can't I invite Lingling over?

Mrs. He.

-I have a girlfriend. -What?

You said you were single last time.

Look at how handsome Yuan Song is.

Right?

A lot of young girls must be chasing after him.

Don't worry about him.

Isn't your daughter troubling enough?

My niece is really good.

Didn't you tell me to stop worrying about Fanxing?

What a pity.

Why does Luming

have a crush on another girl?

He and Fanxing make a great couple.

-Tell-- -Mom!

What?

I'm right here! You gave me a shock!

I told you we're just good friends!

So what?

Can't I just imagine?

Is it illegal?

Who is Luming?

-Luming is-- -Luming?

He is Fanxing's friend.

A friend introduced him.

Even though they don't like each other,

they are actually good friends.

That's right.

It doesn't matter if it's a guy or girl,

when they meet Fanxing, they all would become brothers.

What an exceptional skill.

Use the ladle or you will spill it all over the table!

Just let me do it.

Scoop it like this.

Even food can't shut you up.

If you feel troubled,

I won't visit your home before we announce our relationship.

You have a boyfriend.

Why is she worried?

I'm not troubled.

It's fine even if you are.

We're going to announce our relationship soon.

I'll leave the company by then.

You won't have to feel troubled by an office romance.

Time passes so quickly.

Yes.

When you're happy, time goes by quickly.

When you're unhappy, the time feels slow.

If only it was the other way around.

That's right.

Life is to be enjoyed to the fullest.

Never let your wine cup go empty under the moonlight.

Right.

Whenever we go on dates,

you always go along

with my preferences.

Don't you have anything that you want to do together?

You're so generous.

Can you attend

the masquerade graduation party that my club is hosting?

Masquerade party?

People become brave with a mask on.

They can invite their crush for a dance or confess to them

and do something they usually won't do.

You might feel burdened by this, so I'm just inviting you.

You can say no.

When is it?

Thursday night.

Will your lecturers be there?

I don't think so.

I want to dance with you.

If other juniors ask me for a dance, it's hard to reject them.

If we're wearing masks,

then it shouldn't be a big problem.

Since nobody can tell who we are.

I don't have such outfits though.

Why don't we go shopping tomorrow?

Since when did you become so generous?

I'm not generous.

It's just that we may bid farewell anytime from now.

Before it ends,

I want to enjoy it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

She's here!

She's here!

Wake up, everyone. She's here!

What are you talking about? Who's here?

Ms. Wu from Aijia's investment department is here!

Who let you eat here?

How many times did I tell you about the smell?

I'll stop.

Hello, Mr. Li.

Here, Ms. Wu. This way.

This is our marketing department.

This is our engineering department.

Here is our design department.

I would say that everyone in the design team is an elite.

Please come this way.

Ms. Wu.

Look at our working environment.

The systems are all up to standard.

You can let us operate independently.

That's also an option.

Let's discuss this further later.

We had a similar case.

If the company is not centrally managed by the headquarters,

there could be issues with brand maintenance.

Yes, come in.

Mr. Li.

Great, let me introduce you.

This is He Fanxing from our administrative department.

This is Ms. Wu from Aijia's investment department.

-Hello, Ms. Wu. -Hello, Ms. He.

We'll meet very often.

Here's your coffee.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Your perfume is very unique.

When women meet,

we always ask for the lipstick colors or perfumes we use.

But this perfume is not for sale.

A perfumer friend made it for me.

I can introduce you to each other.

Thank you, Ms. Wu.

-We'll be going now. -Okay.

Ms. Wu, please go on.

Let's continue, so...

So

Meiyin has been to Yuan Song's house.

What are you doing?

I smell perfume.

Isn't it the smell of coffee?

Is that so?

Why are you here?

It's quiet here.

Well,

not everyone can come in here.

Bai must have forgotten to lock the door.

I won't come in again, but let me work here for now.

Okay.

Right, the people from Aijia are here.

Did you know?

Yes.

Where is the line between hiding and deceiving?

How much gray area is there between not being honest and lying?

Perhaps, it's like how ice melts in water.

Eventually,

there will be no difference.

Professor He!

What's up?

I would like to invite you to a charity event.

What charity event?

A lunch of kindness!

My parents were entrepreneurs when I was young.

They had no time for me.

Not only did my uncle buy me meals, but he also sent me to school.

To save time and money,

we only ate instant noodles.

That's why I would still gag whenever I smell instant noodles.

I understand all that.

But now you're broke and can only eat instant noodles.

What does that have to do with me?

I...

Does that mean I can't eat anymore?

Eat up.

My uncle said that a good-for-nothing

won't starve if he is thick-skinned.

I'm buying you a meal

not because you're shameless.

It's because I have something to say.

Don't tell me...

Are you confessing to me?

It's about that.

Okay, let's do it.

Ms. Cai Minmin.

After thorough consideration, I have decided to notify you.

If you continue to spread rumors about me liking you,

I will use legal means to protect my reputation.

Spread rumors?

If it has been shared over 500 times, I can file a lawsuit.

It's not a rumor.

Don't you like me?

When did I say that I like you or tell others so?

It was your own speculation, little kid.

So do you really not like me?

I like you.

All teachers like their cute students.

I see.

Why do you seem disappointed?

Of course I am.

It's good to be liked by someone.

But this is good too.

I didn't dare to ask you for help in case you would misunderstand me.

Now, I don't have to worry anymore.

So can I eat at your house?

No.

AI MEIXIANG

Hello, Ms. Ai.

I was just about to send you the design contract.

We can sign it if there are no problems.

Don't worry.

We're giving you the best material in the market at the lowest price.

At 7:30 p.m.?

Okay, sure.

I will come with our designer.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Bye.

-Chang Huan. -Yes?

I'm meeting the client at 7:30 p.m. to finalize the contract.

She wants to discuss with a designer.

-Wait for me while I print the contract. -Hey.

Tonight?

Does it matter?

You're free anyway.

Chang Huan!

Are you done?

I bought tickets for 7:00 p.m.

Qingqing.

Cong Xiao just told me that I have to meet a client.

It's fine.

Have fun, you two.

I'll see if other designers are free.

If that's the case, then the project won't be his.

Qingqing has already gotten the tickets.

I can't take this project.

Save the next one for me.

Okay.

It's fine, I'll go on your behalf.

I'll tell you the client's requests.

Enjoy your date.

You taught me so much during my internship.

I don't mind helping you out.

Thank you then.

Thank you.

Okay, have fun.

Yes, ma'am!

-Let's go. -All right.

Cong Xiao.

-Yes? -Have you printed it?

I'm on it.

Little Godmother and Godmother are here!

Hello, Little Godmother and Godmother.

Did you miss Little Godmother and Godmother?

Yes, I did.

How much?

This much.

That much?

Here, give me a kiss.

What about me?

Good girl.

Watch Dad dance.

Good!

Fanxing, Ms. Song, long time no see.

Fanfan, I saw your posts.

You're here even after 10:00 p.m.

Kids shouldn't sleep so late.

Peanut just loves sleeping on the studio floor, right?

-No. -See?

Kid, you betray me when your godmothers are here.

You should go home and accompany Xiaoyu.

A pregnant woman needs to be cared for.

It's fine, my mom is home.

Did she marry you or your mom?

I will obey you, Ms. Song.

After the dance competition ends, I'll definitely be home by 9:00 p.m.

Do supervise me.

Peanut, look.

Your dad is only a year older than you.

Fanxing, didn't you want to practice social dance?

It has been a while, so I'm rusty now.

Ms. Kou can guide you.

She's the studio's co-founder.

Kou, come here.

Just a minute.

What's up?

She's my friend, Fanxing.

-Hello. -Can you practice social dance with her?

-She's going to a ball. -Have you learned it before?

Yes, but I haven't practiced in a while.

-It's fine, come on. -Okay.

Be careful.

Go on.

Ms. Song, please take care of Peanut.

I'll be practicing.

Everyone, get up.

Let's repeat that move.

Let's see how much you remember.

All right, where were we?

AI MEIXIANG

There are two copies.

I'll keep this copy.

Please keep the other.

My classmate, He Fanxing, works at your company,

so I'm not worried.

But seriously, Cong Xiao.

Your information is not up-to-date.

She already has a boyfriend.

Last weekend, at our class rep's birthday party,

she brought him!

I was so embarrassed.

Ms. He has a boyfriend?

I didn't know that.

That's why you're not up-to-date.

He's the boss of an advertising firm.

His name is Ye Luming.

In my opinion, they don't suit each other.

I know Fanxing well.

She's very innocent.

But that Mr. Ye is obviously not a simple man.

I don't think so. They're just friends.

Did you just assume it?

Let me tell you.

I told everyone in our group that she doesn't have a boyfriend.

She got mad and brought her boyfriend.

She just couldn't stay calm.

How cute.

How can I assume these things?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Do you think that Ms. Kou is pretty?

Yes, she's quite pretty.

Look, she's only 23 years old.

She just graduated, but she's already the co-founder.

How amazing.

Is it possible that she likes Shen Fanfan?

No way!

A young lady like her wouldn't want to be a stepmom.

Forget it.

Go on, tell me about your class rep's birthday party.

That was it.

Ye went and he told them that he was my boyfriend.

Did you know? I almost walked out.

I just don't get it.

Why must I prove to them that I have a boyfriend?

That Amy.

Did I offend her?

Hang on.

I don't think the problem is Amy.

The problem here is Ye.

Ye?

What's wrong with him?

Is it because he lied for me?

Doesn't he like you?

No.

We're more like comrades who met on a blind date.

Look.

He's your close male friend who is always a call away.

He pretended to be your boyfriend to help you.

These fulfill all the signs of a crush.

No way, he likes someone else.

Who? Have you seen her?

Or should I ask, have you seen pictures of her?

I never asked.

As his best friend,

has he ever told you about how he met this woman

or how they're getting along?

We never talked about that.

He definitely likes you.

You're dumb.

No way.

Between a male and a female,

there must be a friendship like ours where they help each other out.

I'm not easily deceived like an innocent girl.

Mr. Liu? Yes, we're on our way.

There's a slight traffic jam.

I'm so sorry.

See you later.

Sure.

Ms. He has a boyfriend?

He's the boss of an advertising firm.

His name is Ye Luming.

I told everyone in our group that she doesn't have a boyfriend.

She got mad and brought her boyfriend.

Does he think that we're Flash who can be there after he calls?

Intern, mind your manners.

Why does it suddenly feel so grim?

A lovesick teenager.

Aren't you the same?

What about me?

Can you and Cong Xiao be any more obvious?

My seat is near you two.

The heavy mood has already spread to me.

You're leaving soon anyway.

If you like her, just pursue her.

Are you an animal?

Humans can't live on just instincts.

So you admit it.

Hey, you finally admit that you like Cong Xiao.

Can you be more reasonable?

Did I tell anyone about you and Ms. He?

Our bus just left.

Mr. Liu.

I'm so sorry to give you this call.

I just got hit by a motorcycle.

I'm at the hospital now.

I'm fine, it's only a minor injury.

Don't worry.

How about this?

I'll meet you tomorrow.

Sure.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow then.

Okay.

Why are you smirking?

Relationship between adults are usually maintained with white lies.

That's why you told Cong Xiao that you didn't like her.

How amazing.

What else can I do?

If you insist on confessing knowing that she just wants to be friends,

it's a lose-lose situation.

Being friends is the safest way to go.

What about Qingqing?

I have to give myself a chance to like someone else, right?

Or else, I would be so pitiful.

When you say you love someone, you usually love yourself more.

You think more about yourself when making decisions.

These things should be left unsaid.

Why did you have to point it out?

Aren't you the same?

Of course not.

I think so.

I don't know.

Actually, you don't have to lie to me.

I know you more than you think I do.

Do you?

Okay, tell me then.

What are the things you know about me?

Tell me this first.

How did you explain to Ms. He?

Explain what?

About hugging another woman and receiving gifts.

What?

I saw it.

The other day at a café near our site,

a beauty brought you some branded stuff.

Wasn't that

Ms. Wu from Aijia?

When she came to our office,

you somehow disappeared.

That's true, Meiyin gave me clothes.

But I didn't tell Fanxing.

I told her.

What did you tell her?

I just said that a pretty lady gave you presents

and that you hugged each other.

No, wait.

Didn't Ms. He confront you?

She didn't.

I thought you explained it to her.

That's why you didn't fight or break up.

Big mouth.

Yuan Song.

I'm sorry.

Do you want a drink?

Let's forget this after we drink.

I think Fanxing trusts you, so she didn't ask.

Your dad is incredible,

but you shouldn't get ice cream all over your mouth.

My foundation is expensive!

I wanted to wipe your mouth, not your foundation.

Cong Xiao, your parcel.

Thank you.

So how was the meeting with the client?

She signed it.

As expected of Cong Xiao.

You always get the clients.

Chang Huan got lucky this time.

He should buy you a meal.

How was the movie yesterday?

I couldn't focus.

The movie isn't important.

What's important is who you watch it with, right?

After the movie last night,

we also went to a popular restaurant--

Qingqing.

I have to revise the contract.

It's quite urgent, so I can't chat.

Okay, go ahead with your work.

I'll go back to work.

If Ms. He sees me, she will nag at me again.

HE FANXING

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DO YOU FEEL EMBARRASSED BEING WITH ME?

I THINK WE...

Handsome boy, why are you drinking alone here?

Meiyin, you're here.

You have been meeting me frequently.

I should really thank that girlfriend of yours.

That feels good.

A glass of champagne, please.

Okay.

You look unhappy. What's wrong?

Did you fight?

We didn't.

-Thank you. -Here you go.

Please enjoy.

Last week, at her classmate's birthday party,

she brought a man along saying that he's her boyfriend.

That was my reaction too.

She cheated on you?

She's not that kind of person.

I'm her first love.

Seriously.

First love?

I remember someone once told me

that he wanted to marry me.

Meiyin, let's not bring that up again.

Fine, I'll stop teasing you.

If she didn't cheat, then what was that about?

I guess she doesn't believe in me.

I'm younger than her.

So she doesn't dare to announce it or let me meet her friends.

She has a real boyfriend, but she brought a fake one.

Isn't it ridiculous?

The problem between the two of you

is that you're only giving her a sense of belonging,

not a sense of security.

Isn't the sense of security the foundation for a sense of belonging?

A sense of belonging is, "I am yours."

But a sense of security is, "You are mine."

They are two opposite feelings.
