[You Are Desire]

[Episode 30 I Saw You in My Dream]

You're about to graduate,

but your GPA isn't high enough.

There are several courses you need to retake.

Even if you pass the retakes,

your credits are still insufficient.

In your case,

you can only delay graduation by a year.

I have to stay here for another year?

Yes, and that is the best-case scenario.

If your credits are still

insufficient next year,

be prepared to receive a certificate of course completion.

- Sir… - Alright, put yourself together.

If you don't want just to complete the course,

go back and prepare well for the next semester.

Pass the exams,

improve your GPA,

and strive to earn enough credits

to graduate smoothly next year, okay?

Jiu!

Dude, where are you?

I'm on my way home.

What's up?

How's your graduation going?

Don't mention it. My teacher asked me to delay graduation by a year.

But don't worry,

even if I delay graduation by a year, it won't delay

our business plan.

It's not as easy as you said.

What if we want to shoot a video,

and it clashes with your

class and exam schedules?

It won't. Don't worry.

Remember the content

of our selection

that I sent you before?

As long as we arrange our schedule

according to that plan,

there won't be any clash.

You're confident,

but I'm not.

My account has more followers than yours.

The whole business partnership thing

is just me being kind, wanting to give you a hand.

After all this, I even have to adapt to your schedule.

So why should I partner with you and drag myself down?

Hold on.

You were the one who wanted to partner up in the first place.

Now you're saying that you were being kind to me?

Go to hell!

Do whatever you want.

I don't need you.

What a lunatic!

Hello.

Is this place for rent?

No, it's not. It's about to be demolished.

The whole street is going to be torn down.

How's the judicial exam?

Don't mention it.

I hadn't prepared well and got wrecked.

Why are you sighing too?

What's wrong?

Not me. It's a good friend of mine.

Her boyfriend got a job offer from a company in his hometown,

but she got into

graduate school at her current university.

Her boyfriend thinks

long-distance relationships have no future, so he wants to break up with her.

She's been crying for days,

and no matter how I try to comfort her, she just can't stop being sad.

But long-distance relationships are indeed a big challenge in love.

When two people's schedules

don't align,

even if they video call every day,

it's still quite hard.

Yeah, that's what I told her too.

How can long-distance relationship

create any beauty of distance?

All it can create

are couples who break up helplessly.

You guys go ahead and eat. I can't make it.

I'm at the provincial team,

picking up next week's training schedule.

They said they're going to throw me a welcome party.

I was just about to tell you guys.

Just before getting off work, there was a situation in the lab.

My boss asked us to stay and troubleshoot.

I don't know how long it will take.

Why don't you guys start first?

I'll come over later.

Hey, why are you drinking so much?

You didn't even leave me any.

Wow. You actually made it.

Hey, we'll have two beers, please. Thank you.

Two beers, right?

Don't bother.

Here you go.

What's the point of keeping them?

No one would drink these beers.

Everyone is busy.

Busy with work.

Busy with training.

Busy making new friends.

Only I have nothing to do.

My beers are not good enough for them.

Don't say that.

They really are busy today and can't make it.

Lin Yujing,

are you going to tell them?

I'm telling you,

if you send this message,

we'll no longer be buddies.

No, I'm just…

Gu Xia sent me a WeChat message, and I'm replying to her.

Don't worry, today,

I'm definitely on your side.

Lin Yujing, they probably don't know what I've done.

But you?

Whenever they were in need,

I was always the first

to treat them wholeheartedly.

Right?

But what about them?

They promised to drink together,

yet neither of them came.

I treat them as brothers. But how did they treat me?

Is this what brothers do?

You know what?

The old street is going to be demolished.

The silverware store is gone.

I've negotiated with the agent.

I asked him

if we could borrow the silverware store on the 28th.

Just for one day.

The agent said it's possible.

I invited you out today

because I wanted to

talk with you about

what we should do

on the 28th.

But now?

No one came.

Am I being too sentimental?

Don't overthink.

They really are busy today,

and that's why they can't make it.

- But I believe… - I get it. Now,

those who graduated have graduated,

and those who trained have started training.

Everyone is rushing in different directions.

All are striving forward for the best.

But I'm different.

I just want to

go back to the past.

I want to go back to high school.

We enjoyed ourselves in the silverware store,

talk about everything

while having a hotpot.

That was a wonderful memory.

We were so happy back then.

Now, everything has changed.

- It has changed. - Wang Yiyang? Wang Yiyang!

Hey.

Slow down. Don't move.

I didn't check my phone just now. What happened?

The silverware store

Is going to be demolished.

Wang Yiyang invited us to dinner

to plan a reunion at the silverware store.

But neither of you came.

Are you still eating now? I'll come to find you.

No need. I asked my brother to send him back to the dorm.

But…

He drank too much,

and he was in a very bad mood.

He also said he wants to drop out.

Drop out?

Don't worry. How about this? Tomorrow I'll find He Songnan,

and we'll go talk to him together

and see what's going on.

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Still angry?

Nope.

You are both too busy.

I don't dare to waste your time.

And you're saying you're not angry.

Last night, it was indeed our fault.

We won't do it again.

But what happened to you?

Why are you making a fuss about dropping out?

What do you mean making a fuss?

This is called choosing.

So what's the reason for your choice?

There are only two months left until graduation,

If you have something on your mind, just say it,

We'll solve it together.

I just figured out something.

We worked so hard to get a diploma,

but isn't it just for finding a job in the future?

I already have a job now.

On the contrary, all those messy matters about graduation are just a waste of time.

How many fans can you gain in two months?

You need to look at the long term.

Getting a diploma is only beneficial for you. There's no harm.

Do you know how fierce the competition is out there?

How many people are striving hard

yet are stuck because of their diplomas?

Why don't you cherish it?

How do you know I didn't cherish it?

We're in different industries.

So naturally, our efforts are directed differently.

You're just a farmer.

Don't act as if you know everything.

It's the same in every industry.

Learning more won't do you any harm.

I'll leave it at that.

If you spend another two months on waiting to get more followers,

the little traffic you have won't be enough to support you.

Without your parents' financial support, you'd be sleeping on the streets.

What's it to you?

Why do you care?

Yeah.

I know.

I used to fall short in all aspects compared to you.

You guys looked down on me, didn't you?

But that doesn't mean it will be the same in the future.

Just you wait and see.

This account will definitely

bring me great success.

Then, you'll see.

- Wait… - Let him be.

He's still fuming,

He won't listen to anything you say.

Just let him

cool himself down.

Come with me. I have something to tell you.

He's now fully committed to that account.

His final grades are a disaster.

If he wants to get his diploma now, he'll have to delay graduation.

And the person he partnered with

was a villain.

He took Wang Yiyang's creative ideas

and signed a contract with a multi-channel network company.

Now,

Wang Yiyang has lost

both his studies and career.

It's our fault.

Why didn't any of us notice his abnormal behavior earlier?

And now, he doesn't even come home on weekends.

Other than managing his account, he's just playing games.

If this continues,

He doesn't even need to drop out. The school will expel him.

We really need to find a way to help him.

Does he know about the reunion at the silverware store?

I told him.

But,

he didn't say anything.

Is he not going to come? He's furious now.

He will come.

The silverware store is very important to him.

Let's first clear that day's schedule.

If anything happens,

we'll talk about it later.

- I'll help you. - No. I can handle it.

You go move the stuff below.

There's more below?

Alright, I'll go.

I thought there wasn't much stuff.

I didn't expect it to be so tiring to move.

Even if they raise the price next time,

we shouldn't move these stuff ourselves.

Don't spend money on these

unnecessary matters.

With this money, we can buy some

daily necessities. Isn't that better?

You might think I'm thin and fragile.

I spent a lot of time

working with my parents when I was little.

I'm strong. Don't worry about me.

Ruyi,

I know you're capable,

but I just don't want you to suffer.

I also want to prove to you

that I can provide a better life for you

through my own efforts.

I believe in you,

but don't put too much

pressure on yourself.

Encountering difficulties in life

Is normal.

We're a couple.

Overcoming difficulties together is what we should do.

I'll go answer a call.

You can tidy these things up.

Alright.

- Hello. - Where are you?

It's the weekend. I'm off.

Off?

Your project report is just horrible.

How did you calculate the material costs?

How could you make such a basic mistake?

I didn't calculate it directly.

It was given to me by the procurement department.

I didn't even have access to that data.

Xu Ruyi, you're just an intern.

When encountering problems, instead of striving for perfection,

you've learned to shirk responsibility.

Is this your work attitude?

No.

No? Well, then.

Come back to the company right now

and double-check all the data.

I understand.

There's something going on at my company.

I need to go back.

I can't help you tidy up anymore.

It's okay. I can handle it.

Let me walk you out.

You don't have to. By the way,

I wrote you a guide.

It has all the good restaurants nearby,

and fruit shops and such.

I'll be leaving then.

Okay. Go ahead.

I can manage on my own.

Mom, you're still awake?

Your dad and I had some free time today,

so we cleaned up

your old room.

We'd like to see if you like it.

Ruyi, your dad and I

hope that you can come back

and find a job at home after graduation.

Pucheng is nice,

but if you want to stand on your own feet,

you have to fight for it.

I don't want you to work so hard.

If you can't stand it anymore,

just come home.

I'll always be here,

and nobody will dare to bully you.

[Demolition]

It seems

there's a lot of preparation to do

before we can have this meal.

Don't worry.

Wang Yiyang may seem indifferent,

but he's a sentimental guy.

I believe he will definitely come.

You haven't left school yet.

You have no idea how hard it is to be independent.

How hard can it be?

No matter how hard, it's still freedom.

I can do whatever I want.

Well, you haven't experienced

roommates throwing parties in the middle of the night,

or old ladies doing square dances in the early morning.

You're lucky if you can sleep three hours a day.

But you made it through, didn't you?

What do you mean, made it through? I was either late every day

or messed up the experiment.

If it weren't for Ruyi finding me a

cheap and reliable new apartment,

I might have been kicked out of the lab by now.

I can vouch for him on this.

He was in a really bad mood during that time.

Did you hear that? Juan will never lie to you.

Sometimes in life,

you really can't be too confident.

I'm a living example.

Alright, alright.

No matter what,

you all have your diplomas.

What about me? I spent four years in college,

and what did I get out of it?

I don't even have a diploma.

I thought about starting a business,

but I chose the wrong partner.

I was fooled by someone.

I was kicked out by my dad.

I was kicked out by my school.

And I was also kicked out by my fans.

Impressive, right? That can be called a hat trick.

I'm in such a miserable state.

How can you still laugh?

Do you remember

when we were in high school,

we once had a hard time

at this very store?

Sure.

There was a punk who came to cause trouble.

I punched him and sent him flying.

Juan sent him flying. What does it have to do with you?

I helped too, okay?

Don't you remember? I took that big flip flop

and…

And I whacked him on the back.

Also, when we couldn't afford the rent,

we were almost kicked out by the agency.

We started a

silver jewelry DIY,

and it brought us back to life.

Let's do it.

Back then, our life was really tough,

but after overcoming it,

we were truly delighted.

But

that's what dreams are like.

Your path will be covered by traps

and there will be more challenges.

You'll only feel a sense of accomplishment

after overcoming all of them.

If you could achieve something that easily,

it wouldn't be a dream,

wouldn't it?

♫ I want to become better with you ♫

Exactly.

Without difficulties,

it would be so boring.

Right?

I'm a tough man.

I have to choose this path for myself,

and I'll never give up even when there's no way out.

That's right!

We're still young.

We have time and energy.

What's there to fear?

How does that song go again?

That one!

♫ You have to fight to win ♫

Come on! Cheers!

♫ To never be apart ♫

Juan, someone's here.

Juan, wake up. We have a customer.

♫ Yet worried linger within my eyes ♫

♫ Our story hasn't ended ♫

How time flies.

I had you fix my bracelet.

Feels like it just happened.

But that was a long time ago.

Well,

No discord,

no concord.

Sure.

What shocked me the most

was seeing you in the class.

I was stunned.

A shop owner

suddenly became a student

who could say hello to the teacher.

What about you?

What was your first impression

of me?

I thought

you were like a wounded little animal.

Like a little cat

that just left home.

A well-behaved

but confused cat.

You were

kind of depressed

but very strong.

So many stories have happened here.

This place is going to be demolished soon.

I'm quite sad to see that.

Me too.

This place is like home

to me.

In the past,

no matter what happened,

as long as I came back here,

I would feel safe.

But now,

it has completed its mission.

I think

this must be its best ending.

Have you checked everything?

Don't leave anything.

It's done.

Thank you.

I really don't want to leave you guys.

Why so sudden?

I have to.

Our newspaper

took on a big event.

We're short-staffed.

The supervisor asked us new recruits

to start work early.

Take care of yourself.

When I get my salary,

I'll treat you guys to a meal.

I'm leaving.

We'll walk you out.

That's all for today's lecture.

Thank you all for listening.

Shen Juan.

Hi.

I was just about to find Lin Yujing.

Since I ran into you,

I'll just ask you directly.

Look at this.

Our company is doing a craftsman exhibition.

We want to borrow silver ornaments from your uncle

for the exhibit. Is that okay?

Of course.

How about this?

You send me the specific requirements,

and I'll find some for you.

- That's great, I'll send it to you now. - Okay.

I've been busy with the exhibition recently

and haven't been in touch with Lin Yujing.

How has she been?

She's doing well.

I heard she was hired by Professor Hu Zhongquan's team.

She's about to work at the headquarters in Huaicheng.

I haven't congratulated her yet.

She hasn't told you yet, has she?

Why are you here?

I was just passing by.

We just saw each other yesterday.

And you miss me already today?

I'm about to move

to the provincial team's dormitory?

Do you want to visit it?

Sure.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you seem strange today?

Nothing.

I just want to hug you.

This place is pretty good

and clean.

Of course.

I cleaned it in advance.

Where is Orange?

Well,

after settling down,

I'll bring Orange here.

I feel like something is missing.

What's missing?

Much better now.

Comfortable.

Are you hungry?

What do I look like?

Ultraman.

Onion man.

The contract has been sent to your email.

Please check it.

The onboarding date has been confirmed.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Okay.

Take a look.

Not bad.

Give it a try.

How is it?

It's good,

but it's a bit sweet.

Is it?

It does taste a bit sweet.

I'll redo it.

- Finished? - Try again.

How is it?

Delicious.

You're good at cooking.

I heard she was hired

by Professor Hu Zhongquan.

She's about to work at the headquarters in Huaicheng.

I haven't congratulated her yet.

She hasn't told you yet, has she?

Please don't tell her

that I know about this.

Have a try.

Isn't it good?

- Delicious. - Eat more.

Do you remember

when we shot balloons at the amusement park?

Yeah. I also remember the teddy bear and Peter Rabbit.

Let's have another match.

Okay.

Sir, I'll do five shots.

So many years have passed,

but your skills haven't improved at all.

I gave all my luck to you.

It's normal that I can't hit it.

Okay, I'll give you some luck too.

Hold it.

I aim,

and you pull the trigger.

Young man, what do you do?

I'm just

a college student.

Sir, we don't need the prize.

Thanks. Let's go.

Let's go.

I had a great time today.

Well,

have an early night.

Well,

if you move to the provincial team dormitory,

does that mean you're going to start formal training?

What about our graduation ceremony?

Don't worry.

I've already talked to the team.

I will be back

for the graduation ceremony.

It's a deal.

See you then.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Can't bear to part with me?

I can't.

Does the graduation start at ten today?

At nine.

Hurry up. Ruyi and I will wait for you at the station.

Three, two, one.

You two look at each other.

Good.

Get a little closer, more intimate.

Take some funny ones.

Yes, that's it.

Let's do a three-shot.

Shen Juan, you carry Lin Yujing.

Yes, that's it. Looks good.

Put me down.

Shen Juan.

Stop it.

- Stop. - Are we going on?

Gu Xia, come here.

You started shooting without me?

What about us?

Wang Yiyang, where did you get the bachelor's gown?

I borrow it.

It's for the graduation photo.

Do I look good?

- Not bad. - Come on.

Take one for us three brothers.

Lin Yujing, hurry up.

- Let's go. - You held the wrong person.

You use this to shoot them.

It's so good. We should have taken it in high school.

It's a pity you weren't there then.

It's okay. It's not too late to do it now.

Take one for the three of us.

Come on.

Come on.

Three, two, one.

Are you happy?

Juan, hurry up.

- You're dawdling. - Isn't it strange

if I stand here?

Yes, it is.

Move.

Just stand there.

- You stand there. - You're over there.

We graduated.

In the daylight,

I am imprisoned in a dark dream.

The clouds cover the sun

and nothing can grow.

Everything is bleak.

When you walked through the wilderness,

you held my hand and told me

there was always a light

in front.

No one will always be favored by the light.

We must learn to walk out of the darkness

and actively seek the light.

You and I

are each other's light.
