[You Are Desire]

[Episode 28 My Little Whale Never Lets Me Down]

Shen Juan.

Can you sit with me for a while?

I've given my uncle's manuscripts

and his shop

to Nie Xinghe.

That was my uncle's wish.

I learned it from Zhou Hang.

Nie Xinghe must not have thought

he had misunderstood your uncle a lot.

You gave the shop to him,

and you're not feeling good, are you?

Actually,

the moment I knew the real reason why my uncle went to Chongming,

my heart was filled with hatred for Nie Xinghe.

But I also know

it's pointless

to pursue it now.

I won't easily forgive

and let go of all this.

This is also out of respect

for my uncle.

Because that was his wish.

I believe

he would approve of it too.

What have you been up to all morning?

An important thing.

I'll tell you after I succeed.

Let me ask you something.

What do you really feel about my brother?

I confessed to him

and got rejected.

My brother has been single for so long,

and h-h-he's just a bit slow.

But sometimes, what he says--

But do you know it?

He rejected me very seriously.

He even made a PowerPoint presentation for me.

T-T-This is quite like his style.

I just really like his stubbornness.

My taste is definitely good.

Don't worry.

I'm not someone who gives up easily.

I've already thought about what to do next.

Come on.

I think you need to figure out for yourself

whether you like her or not.

Mr. Fu, the client is here.

[Mr. Fu, did you receive the email?]

[Let's meet at noon, okay?]

[I'll explain it to you in detail.]

[Your email has been sent.]

[I'm downstairs at the law firm.]

[Are you free now?]

Okay.

Okay, don't worry.

Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu,

thank you so much for your service on this case.

Let's have a meal together sometime.

- Please honor me with your acceptance. - This way, please.

Without you, I really wouldn't know what to do.

You don't have to be polite.

Protecting the rights and interests of the client

is our duty.

This way, please.

Thank you.

This toy is my son's favorite.

Thank you so much for today, Mr. Fu.

I'll let you get back to your work.

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

Did I come at a bad time?

You give this thing to anyone.

I've been treating it like a treasure.

Take it back.

No.

What are you here for?

You really don't know the reason?

I've sent you emails and messages, but you didn't reply.

I thought you were busy with something important.

Turns out you were on a date.

- That's my client. - I don't care who she is.

It has nothing to do with me.

Look, I mute my phone during meetings.

See.

[Feasibility Analysis of Dating Between a College Student and a Professional]

What is this?

[Feasibility Analysis of Dating Between a College Student and a Professional]

Based on your previous analysis of the feasibility of our love,

I've made a new report.

You said we don't have overlapping time.

I've recalculated.

We have at least one hour of face-to-face time every day.

Half an hour for lunch

and half an hour for dinner.

You have to eat, right?

Also, I have interned under you.

Excluding your weekends, business trips and socializing time,

you still have two flexible hours on average every weekend.

[Statistical Chart of Age Difference and Success Rate in a Couple]

We do have an age difference,

but couples with a three- to five-year age difference

are the most likely to be together.

Look at the statistics from the past few years.

Focus on the data.

And about the issue of life goals and plans you mentioned,

I think we're on the same track.

We're both striving for our own lives.

And we're both in the legal field.

We have a lot in common

and can understand each other's work better.

In summary,

I don't see any objective reason why we shouldn't be together.

What's wrong?

Who upset you?

It's your brother again.

What did he do?

I painstakingly made a presentation for him,

and he didn't respond to my emails or messages.

I thought he was busy with something important.

But he was chatting happily

and playing with capsule toys with someone.

Why can't he get a clue?

Don't be angry.

He won't even know,

and you'll only ruin your mood.

I'll scold him later.

Wang Han asks me to go downstairs. I have to go.

We'll talk later.

Don't be angry or take it to heart.

[Are you free tomorrow?]

[I have something to tell you.]

Today we'll be discussing

the marketing that a car brand has done before.

This car brand made an advertisement

and heavily promoted it on a social media platform.

But the market response was particularly poor.

Almost not even covering the marketing costs.

Who would like to share their thoughts

on the reason?

Do you want to?

This car brand's advertisement

was launched on a social media platform.

The audience of this platform

is around 20 to 30 years old,

meaning most of them are not yet married

or have just gotten married.

But its marketing plan

mainly revolved around family outings.

So I think there was a bit of a mismatch here.

And secondly,

the language used to promote engine advantages

was a bit too professional

to understand

and might not resonate with average consumers.

What are your ideas for improvement?

I think they can use more interesting

or more creative forms of advertising

combined with cars

to attract more young people.

Like shooting.

Shooting?

Shooting is a competitive sport.

There's a type of shooting called rapid fire,

which determines the winner in just a few seconds.

I think the sport

perfectly fits the zero-delay feature of this car's engine.

If paired with the right slogan,

the effect should be pretty good.

You're combining the characteristics of the shooting sport

with the performance of a car's engine.

That's interesting.

Please sit.

Well, that's all for today's class.

When you get home,

summarize your own insights.

Hand them in tomorrow.

Okay, class is dismissed.

I remember it now.

You are Lin Yujing.

You did a good job

in the last marketing competition.

Thank you for your encouragement.

I don't have much experience.

I just expressed my ideas.

No, you have a great understanding of marketing.

What's your major?

I'm in the Finance Department.

Such a good talent.

What a pity that you're not a marketing major.

Keep it up.

I'm Nie Xinghe.

Can we meet?

You've packed everything.

Okay.

The house is well maintained.

As we agreed,

I won't refund the deposit.

It will cover your last month's rent.

[Qinghe Silverware]

Master,

I'm leaving.

I plan to follow the route you traveled when you were young

and enhance my skills.

But don't worry.

Qinghe Silverware is your dream

and also mine

and my home.

I will definitely come back and hang up the sign again.

I hope by that time,

I've had the confidence to ask you,

"So

did the little boy you picked up years ago

live up to your expectations?"

I'm here

to ask you for a favor.

I plan to leave Pucheng for a while.

Please deliver this starry sky lamp

to Shen Juan for me.

Let him keep it safe for me for now.

Also, convey a message to him for me.

Tell him

I haven't forgotten Master's words

and that Qinghe Silverware won't collapse.

Why don't you tell him yourself?

There's no need for that.

By the way,

I'm sorry that I sent those things

to your mom.

He left only these words

and this starry sky lamp.

Hope he has really figured it out.

See what he sent. "Are you free tomorrow?

I have something to tell you."

Isn't he just taking advantage of my affection for him?

Thinking that I will come over just because he wants me to?

That's not quite right.

He is just asking you,

not commanding you.

Besides, you didn't even respond to him, did you?

Because he was wrong.

I know

he is just a block of ice.

But I thought that I would melt him one day.

But I didn't expect that he was not just ice

but also a refrigerator.

Before I could melt him,

he froze me to death.

You are even laughing at me.

I won't.

Eat some meat. Why not drown your sorrows in food?

It doesn't matter if he's a refrigerator.

I can cut off the power.

But he can't hand the socket over to someone else.

Don't be sad. Your refrigerator is calling.

Do I have to answer his call?

Alright, then we'll ignore him.

I'll hang up for you.

Why aren't you replying to my WeChat messages?

What's up?

Have you been drinking?

Where are you?

At the crossroad skewer shop.

Wait for me. I'll be right there.

He's really a blockhead.

He's really a blockhead.

You are now fed up with him.

But who told me

she just liked

dedicated and serious men

devoted to their careers?

Is that the man?

He is quite handsome.

No wonder you're attracted to him.

This is my roommate, Little Mushroom.

Hello.

This is lawyer Fu Mingxiu.

Why did you drink so much?

I'm not your intern anymore.

Why do you care?

Don't just stand. Please sit down.

What did you come to see me for?

I just wanted to tell you

the person yesterday was my client

and that the capsule toy was a gift she was going to give her son.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I don't want you to misunderstand.

Why don't you want me to misunderstand?

Because…

because no one likes to be misunderstood.

Okay.

I won't misunderstand you.

You can go back now.

I explained to you,

but you didn't reply to my message.

But if I didn't explain, you would be unhappy.

So what do you want me to do?

I'm leaving.

Little Mushroom,

you take a cab back later.

Excuse me.

[I think Gu Xia has a chance with your brother.]

Single square with one foot and double square with both feet.

One foot.

Again.

I'm not bad at this, am I?

I'm not worse than you, am I?

Yes, you're much better than me.

It was wrong of me to record a video

of you last time to threaten you.

I just made a fool of myself too.

We're even now.

Don't drink so much next time.

It's all because of you.

Mr. Fu,

sometimes,

I really don't know what you're thinking about.

I really like you.

I really want to pursue you.

Am I making things difficult for you?

No, you're not.

It's just unexpected.

I'm not good

with unexpected stuff.

You've known Lin Yujing for quite a long time,

so you should know about my family situation.

In my senior year of high school,

my dad

suddenly had a brain hemorrhage and passed away.

In the morning, we were still

eating breakfast together,

chatting and laughing.

In the afternoon,

he was covered with a white cloth.

Have you ever felt that?

A thing

happens so suddenly

and leaves you

completely unprepared

and powerless?

I really hate that feeling.

Don't worry,

I'm fine now.

When choosing my college major,

I insisted on choosing law

because I thought

it was like hopscotch.

It has a fixed framework.

As long as you're well prepared,

no surprises will happen.

But life is not hopscotch,

nor is it law.

There will always be surprises and opportunities.

It's always full of uncertainties.

Yes,

just like you.

Now you're only a freshman,

still very young.

You've never even stepped out of the university gate.

You haven't really seen

the outside world.

How can you be so sure

that you won't meet

someone you like more in the future?

Right now I'm not,

but you can't reject me

just because of that.

I can't wait for 30 or 50 years

until my hair has turned white

and I've lost all my teeth,

then squint at you

and say,

"Mr. Fu,

I've thought for a lifetime.

I really only like you.

Be with me, okay?"

That's impossible, right?

Gu Xia,

what do you like about me?

Actually, I don't know.

But

when I'm with you,

I want to look at you.

When I'm not with you,

I try to see you.

Isn't it silly?

I don't know.

But I feel like

this is what liking someone feels like.

What about you?

Do you have

this kind of feeling

for me

even if it's just a little?

♫ Time is a flower of dream ♫

♫ That night you waited for me ♫

Look.

The stars in the sky.

And my star?

♫ Yet worried linger within my eyes ♫

♫ Our story hasn't ended ♫

♫ So where are we now ♫

♫ I want to hug you so badly ♫

♫ I want to become better with you ♫

Look.

Awake already?

Good morning, Mr. Fu.

It was too late yesterday.

Your dormitory was locked,

so I brought you to my office.

But don't worry.

I've already talked to Lin Yujing.

They all know it?

You didn't go back all night. I had to tell them.

And last night your roommate

saw the two of us leave together.

So

sorry for the trouble last night.

You do your work. I'm leaving.

Wait.

I will take you somewhere.

Why did you bring me here?

Last time you said

you didn't think about what to wish for.

It's a bit regretful not to hang a lock.

I looked it up.

The love lock only makes sense when two are hung together.

So

I want to do it again.

What does it mean?

I read the presentation you gave me.

This time, I think your analysis makes sense.

Actually,

this is quite ridiculous.

You're right.

In some ways,

I am as blunt as a piece of wood.

It's clearly a matter of relationship.

But I used the logical thinking

from work,

and because of that,

I made that ridiculous presentation.

It's good that you know it.

I also figured it out.

Even if I list

a thousand reasons why we should not be together,

it can't beat one sentence,

"I like you".

Yesterday,

I recalled every bit of our time together.

I am now completely sure.

Gu Xia,

I'm into you.

I don't want to miss you.

Even if in the future--

There is no "even if".

Let's enjoy the present.

I bought two locks.

Let's hang them.

Actually, I already did it last time.

Let's go.

Seems this lock is quite effective.

What are you doing?

Don't stare at me like this.

Alright, I'll be honest with you.

I am with your brother,

and he confessed it.

From your radiant face,

I guessed it.

Congratulations, you finally got together.

- What are you doing? - Mocking him.

The one who couldn't resist it

- Don't. - with all his talk of rationality.

Don't do that. He's shy. He can't take it.

You're already worried about him.

Alright.

What were you just looking at?

You seemed very focused.

The enrollment guide for the Financial Innovation Class.

I once thought

that dreams were birds with wings,

hard to find.

When I found my dream,

I realized it was in the palm of my hand,

waiting for me to unfold.

I am no longer a child being disciplined or told

what I should do.

I have my own life path.

I am going to chase my dream without holding back.
