That pose is pretty ugly.

But that face,

it's still pretty handsome.

Morning.

Morning.

You slept

in that position all night?

Your carpet

is pretty hard to sleep on.

Laughing, still laughing?

Help me up, quick!

If it's so hard, why did you sleep on it?

Go back and sleep on your

eight-foot king bed.

I got a stiff neck, stiff neck.

You're pretty heavy. Stiff neck.

Slow down.

Oh my god.

Lean against it.

Get up quick.

I'll go change.

Where are you going?

To the supermarket.

What for?

To buy groceries and cook.

Cook?

You can cook?

Is cooking hard?

I can fly a plane.

Alright, just get up.

She can cook!

If it weren't for my stiff neck,

I'd definitely look more highly of you.

You really can cook?

I'm changing.

Don't come in.

Didn't you tell me to wash up?

Go back to your own place to wash up.

This is my home.

Isn't this my home too?

Get out.

This one?

No.

So what exactly do you want to buy?

No idea.

Then

what dish do you want to make today?

No idea.

What are you looking at?

Look again and I'll eat you.

Eat me?

May I ask how you plan to eat me?

Steamed?

Boiled?

Or raw marinated?

Deep-fried.

That brutal?

What are you staring at?

Looking at my girlfriend, she's pretty.

Not as pretty as you.

Why the sudden insecurity?

If I weren't insecure,

I'd have a ton of boyfriends already.

With all these people around, what are you doing?

I can't outtalk you.

Can't I even talk back?

Alright.

I know I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Let me tell you,

next time

if you don't reply to messages,

get drunk,

and make me wait this late,

you can communicate via message in a bottle.

Thank you.

Better than a memorial hall.

Want some milk?

No.

You drink, have some.

Grow taller.

Grow taller?

Me grow taller?

Come on.

Put it here.

Over here, over here, set it properly.

Yes.

Come.

Got it.

Put them together.

Okay.

I'm off.

Just leaving like that?

Dear Captain Ruan,

I've watched

"Call Me By Fire" a hundred times.

I don't want to watch it anymore.

Let me do it.

No.

Go over there.

I told you,

the kitchen is off-limits to you today.

Go away.

Your stage.

Strike a pose.

And top it off.

That looks really good.

First, an egg.

How is it?

Very fragrant.

Great improvement.

Now try this.

Tasty?

Color and aroma are good.

Flavor is a little off.

Let me taste.

It's too spicy, don't eat it.

I made it.

What's this?

I told you not to eat it.

Let me tell you, this flavor

is just right for me.

You study-abroad types

find everything tasty.

When I was abroad,

I mostly ate cold meals.

Having something hot

is already good.

Good.

It's almost Spring Festival travel rush,

so I was thinking

I'd make you a nice meal.

Hard work, Captain Ruan.

But before the travel rush,

your cook nearly gave me a heart attack.

But you

seem to be eating it quite happily.

Yeah.

One more bite.

Don't eat anymore.

I think I still have two packs of instant noodles.

I'll cook some for you.

Really, no need.

Let's skip the noodles.

This is

actually to my taste.

Besides,

it's got more flavor than instant noodles.

What do you mean?

Saying my cooking is too heavy-flavored?

I didn't say that.

It wasn't me.

How did you get in?

I told you,

the kitchen is off-limits today.

I'm already out, aren't I?

No,

you still need to get out.

You go out, I'll cook.

I'll cook, I'll cook.

Actually, we could just skip eating.

Skip it?

Not hungry?

Suddenly I feel a bit hungry.

The suspension has been lifted.

Why the long face still?

I'm leaving first.

Um,

my family

might come over during New Year's.

So

I want them to stay a few extra days.

Are you hoping

I'll spend New Year's with them?

I am thinking

you should find some time soon

to pack up

your things.

They might read into it.

At your place,

I don't have much anyway.

I'll head off now.

When someone's been here, traces remain.

Can you wipe them all away?

Let go.

I'll take it.

We agreed you wouldn't walk me in.

Why?

Give me one reason.

No reason.

How can you be like this?

You don't keep your word?

[Why can other people's relationships]

[be so bold and free,]

[so presentable?]

I was wrong.

If I ever fall in love,

I'll walk with him

openly and honestly in the sunlight.

I don't want myself,

and even more so, I don't want him

to hide in the shadows,

unknown to anyone.

Alright.

I'll go in then.

Go ahead.

Bye.

At least let me watch you go in.

Fine.

Today is New Year's Eve.

At midnight when the new year arrives,

everyone will be working.

So I'll hand out the red envelopes

to everyone now.

Wishing you all a happy New Year.

Last leg—safe takeoffs and landings.

Happy New Year, safe flights.

Here's your red envelope.

Thank you, Captain.

Happy New Year.

Thank you, Captain. Thank you.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Here, Sixian.

Happy New Year.

Okay.

Then let's prepare for boarding.

Okay.

Red envelope!

Back to work, back to work.

Hurry up.

Happy New Year.

Go.

I'm off.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard.

Please take your seat.

Welcome aboard.

Hello.

Let me help you put that up.

Okay, thanks.

Hello.

Excuse me,

you're sitting

in an emergency exit row.

Good evening, passengers.

I'm the captain of this flight.

Welcome aboard

Hengshi Flight 5412

bound for Riverton.

This flight

is scheduled for two hours and ten minutes.

Estimated cruising altitude

is 8,400 meters.

According to the weather forecast,

due to weather along the route,

throughout the entire flight,

there will be mild turbulence.

Please fasten your seatbelt

once seated.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve,

a day for family reunions.

Travelers who've worked hard all year,

carrying a year's gains and longing,

have set foot on the journey home.

The past year

held regrets and relieves,

gains and reluctance.

But nothing can hinder

the steps homeward.

The warmth of family

will smooth away the weariness of the year.

It's my honor, as

the captain of this flight,

to see you all home for reunion.

Here,

on behalf of the entire crew,

I wish you and your family

a happy New Year.

In the new year,

may you hold hope in your hearts,

without worries.

May you chase the light and meet it,

walk bathed in light.

Stay passionate

and head toward the next journey.

Instructor.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Hello, Mom.

Happy New Year.

Happy.

You're not coming home for the New Year.

Don't forget later

to send your nephew a red envelope.

Got it.

Going home.

Home.

Get up.

Still need to wait a little longer.

Don't rush.

Sit down, watch some TV.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

All dishes are served.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner

is a bit different.

Let's make it a home-style special.

How about that?

Are you satisfied?

Very.

Come on.

As per tradition,

let's invite

our future Captain Ruan

to say a few words.

Go ahead.

This is

the first reunion dinner

since my dad passed away.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Then go ahead and taste it.

Delicious.

Not bad.

What's her name,

this actress again?

She's been really popular lately.

It's like...

Li, Li, Li—

Li Zhihuai.

Yes, yes—Li Zhihuai.

She's super popular this year.

I watched one of her dramas

just a few days ago.

You know her too?

Seems she really is huge.

Try a big dumpling.

Hold on.

Before we eat the dumplings,

let's have one more toast.

Miss Ruan.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Mr. Fu.

Thank you.

Five minutes.

You're actually timing it?

Four minutes, thirty seconds.

Why does time fly so fast?

Four minutes left.

It passes like a white horse's shadow.

I wish it would slow down.

What happened to your aloof persona?

Didn't expect you to be this clingy.

Isn't being clingy good?

It is.

But you can't indulge in it.

You'll be leaving soon.

I don't want to go.

Don't want to work either.

How are you different from a tyrant king?

Don't end up branding me

as a traitor through the ages.

Honestly,

this is starting to get on my nerves.

You're annoyed with me?

It's only been a few days and you're annoyed?

Don't you like me anymore?

Didn't you say

that if I didn't like you,

I'd tell you directly?

Would you change?

But how do you change liking someone?

A vice president of a major company

pulling this at home?

Fine, fine.

Hug and cuddle, hug and cuddle.

Alright.

Time's up.

Hurry off to work.

Hengshi needs you.

I'm counting on you

to pay my salary.

Go, go!

So you were actually counting those five minutes?

Why are you back again?

Haven't finished the routine.

Off to work.

Feeling refreshed.

I'm off.

Bye.

Finally gone.

I'm exhausted.

Oh my.

He's not coming back, is he?

Xuan, what are you doing here?

I missed you.

My mom asked me to bring you

some local specialties.

You know how hard it was

to bring these two boxes

of goodies?

It was such a hassle.

What's that?

Isn't this

Mr. Fu's phone?

How did it end up here?

It really is.

I'll call him.

Okay, go ahead.

I'll just listen to the ringtone.

I'll call Bai Yang.

Hello?

Babe.

Did I leave my phone at home?

Yeah.

It's on the sofa.

Okay.

I'll come get it now.

No, no, no.

I'm about to head out anyway.

I'll bring it to you in a bit.

You go to the office now.

Don't be late.

Okay.

Thanks.

I'm so tired.

Are you driving?

Yes.

I'm driving Xiaozhen's car.

Ever since she

rear-ended your Mr. Fu's car

last time,

she's been too scared to drive.

So this car is now

my personal vehicle.

What?

Um,

Do you actually not know

your Mr. Fu's phone passcode?

What use is knowing his passcode?

Better to know

his bank card PIN.

Exactly.

Makes sense.

Alright, I'll go change.

The phone.

Why don't you answer it?

Maybe it's urgent.

Hello?

Who's this?

I'm looking for Fu Mingyu.

Isn't he there?

He left his phone with me.

If it's urgent,

I'll have him call you back.

No rush.

I just

wanted to call and thank him.

The flowers he sent are beautiful.

What's wrong? What are you thinking?

That call just now,

it was a woman.

So what if it was?

Isn't that normal?

You're not

jealous over something this small, are you?

She said

"Thank you Fu Mingyu

for the beautiful flowers."

Actually, I don't think it's a big deal.

Sending flowers is pretty common nowadays.

Maybe it's a client

or business contact.

Don't worry about it.

Don't take it to heart.

Then why are you speeding up?

I honestly think

there's nothing to it.

It could just be a polite gesture.

But the way this lady handled it,

that's interesting.

When she heard it was you answering,

anyone would know by common sense

it was the girlfriend picking up.

Yet she still made a point of telling you.

Since you have his number,

couldn't you just call back later?

That's a good point.

Gotta hand it to you, Xuan.

You

should pay more attention

to this lady.

I can't be bothered with that many people.

If a man is trash,

it's like sand you can't hold in your hand.

If he wants to stray,

you can't control him.

I can only be in charge of myself.

Morning, Sixian.

There was a woman who called just now.

She said

Mr. Fu's flowers were very pretty.

You'd better tell him

to reply to her.

This...

Why do I sense a hint of tension here?

I answered a call.

The girl on the other end

said the flowers he sent were beautiful.

And she asked Fu Mingyu

to reply to her when he gets a chance.

That's exactly what she said.

That's all she said?

Was there any jealousy?

Let me imitate it for you again.

"I answered a call."

"The girl on the other end

said the flowers he sent"—

Okay, okay, that's enough.

Let's leave it at that.

Mr. Fu,

may I ask you something?

Have you ever

sent Miss Ruan flowers?

No.

She said she doesn't like them.

That's not how it works.

The more a girl says she doesn't like something,

the more she actually does like it.

She can not like them,

but you still have to send them.

We'll talk after work.

Got to focus now.

Fighting, boss.

Was I just sitting

in this chair?

Are you going home, or

coming to my place?

I don't want to go anywhere.

Don't want to go home either.

Okay.

Then let's just wander around.

Hello?

Alright.

Got it.

Well.

No need to decide where to go.

I am called in as standby.

Going back to pack.

Where to?

Jinhai City.

Nice.

A change of scenery.

Oh my god.

What's wrong?

Do you know Li Zhihuai?

That name sounds familiar.

I think I've met her once or twice.

I remember you two did meet.

What did she want with you?

Last time,

she brought a film director

and a producer

and said they wanted to make a biopic

based on me.

Did you agree?

Of course not.

What's so interesting about me?

Good call.

This woman,

she's way too good at self-promotion.

Just as she announced

a film based on a female pilot,

she's already

cooking up a scandal.

And look who

her scandal is with,

Fu Mingyu.

Hello?

Are you home?

I have an unscheduled flight today.

What's up?

Nothing.

When will you be back?

Tomorrow.

Okay.

Let me know when you land.

Sure.

Why has Mingyu been

so embroiled in drama lately?

I just wonder

if Ruan knows.

Can she handle it?

Ruan?

Ruan Sixian.

That female pilot.

she is Fu Mingyu's girlfriend.

But who knows if she still is now.

Hello, madam.

Here's the table you reserved.

May I take your order?

Thank you.

Have you arrived?

Oh no, I was busy and forgot.

She's going to be upset again.

Arrived.

Was a bit busy just now.

Okay.

What's this?

Back to factory settings again?

Why no follow-up?

No extra words?

So self-assured,

guess there's nothing to worry about.

Here you go.

Arrived.

Was a bit busy just now.

Seven characters.

Look at this,

in those seven short characters,

she used two punctuation marks.

A comma

and a period.

So?

That's a lot of information.

Where's the info?

Let me break it down for you.

She landed at 4:10, right?

What time is it now?

Beijing time—

6:37.

Think about it,

in the past two hours

and twenty-seven minutes,

she said she was "a bit busy."

What was she busy with?

What was she doing?

Yeah.

A pilot, once off the plane,

is essentially off duty.

What could she be busy with?

What's she up to?

And with whom?

With who?

Just tell me!

Who was she busy with?

Why are you being so mysterious?

Check the trending topics.

Just think,

in the past two hours,

that was when the topic

was at its most explosive.

She must have been online,

figuring out the whole story

down to the last detail.

So you're saying

she actually already

knows about this,

but she's deliberately not mentioning it,

and is staying very calm.

A calm deep sea

is the most terrifying.

No.

I'll call her directly.

No way.

Absolutely not.

Think about it,

you're in the open right now,

and she's in the shadows.

Do you know how much

information she's already gathered?

Didn't you just say

she already knows everything?

That was just

a guess.

Just speculating.

But she might also

not know anything at all.

But that possibility

is indeed unlikely.

Right?

After all, this thing

is so explosive.

So what should I do now?

Test the waters.

Fish for information.

How?

She just said

she was a bit busy.

Ask her

what she's busy with.

That's good.

What are you doing?

Yes.

Send a little smiling emoji.

A cute one.

No, that's not good, too serious.

It's too serious.

This...

Send this one,

with blush.

Blush.

Girls love those.

Okay.

I'll send it.

Go ahead.

Hold on—"Busy."

Period.

Sent that.

This is Jinhai City,

what could possibly keep her busy?

You know who

first discovered Ruan Sixian?

Yan An.

But that guy

just can't help

showing off.

He showed the video to Fu Mingyu.

Then Fu Mingyu

went straight to the flight academy to snatch her.

I admit

that Fu Mingyu's looks

are certainly misleading.

But then again, Ruan,

her taste is a bit ordinary.

Definitely could be better.

Sixian!

You're eating here too?

Sixian.

I heard

this is a restaurant with stories.

Didn't expect that once I came,

what I'd hear

would be my own story.

Sixian,

it's great that you're here.

Mom, what you asked me,

honestly,

I only half understood it.

Now that she's here in person,

Sixian, have a seat.

You can give us

the first-hand account.

It's not appropriate.

It is.

Just join us.

My things—

I'll get them for you.

Utensils, waiter.

Bring the utensils to this table too.

Perfect.

Please add another glass.

Certainly.

Your plate.

Enjoy your meal.

This is the sweet and sour ribs

you loved as a kid.

Eat more.

Okay.

Then bring everything to that table.

Sure.

All together.

Okay, one moment.

Don't be so formal.

Say whatever's on your mind.

I haven't introduced you yet, have I?

Mom, this is Ruan Sixian.

And

this

is my dearest mother.

The famous painter

Ms. Dong Xian.

Both of your names

have the character "Xian."

Exactly the same

character.

You'an.

Let Captain Ruan

eat something first.

Yes.

These ribs are especially good.

This one's also good.

Sixian.

I just have one small question

I've been wanting to ask.

Go ahead.

You came to the beach alone to clear your mind?

So how are you feeling?

Pretty good.

So-so.

Mom, what did I tell you?

Ms. Ruan,

a strong woman.

Her heart is something else.

It's just that her taste

is a bit ordinary.

You'an.

Stop it.

Let her eat in peace.

Weren't you just so curious?

Now she's here,

and you're too shy to ask?

Curious about what?

My personal life?

Sixian,

right now in my heart,

you're really something.

For most people, something like this

would have broken them already.

But look at my Sixian,

eating and drinking as usual.

You don't let it

get to you at all.

Why would my mentality break?

Zheng You'an,

what you're drinking,

is that a special blend of essential oil?

You're full of sarcastic remarks today.

I'm not being sarcastic.

I genuinely

admire you.

Heaven and earth bear witness.

With something this big happening,

the news is exploding,

yet you're not.

What happened?

She doesn't know?

Know what?

Mr. Fu?

How's the situation?

We really can't kill the buzz.

And right after the New Year,

there's hardly any entertainment news.

Netizens finally latched onto this,

and even dug up

that you two went to high school together.

They uncovered it all.

But the thing is,

it's been so many years.

Why did it surface now?

If one day,

without telling me,

you find someone new,

I'll,

You'll what?

I'll send you a funeral wreath,

and set up a memorial hall right in the middle.

No.

Before she comes back tomorrow,

this matter

must be resolved.

This

is a bit

hot.

They look great together.

Hands off Li Zhihuai.

Please focus on her work.

Scandal, go away.

Isn't she going to play a female pilot?

Then dating an airline boss

is only natural.

See this?

Anyone with eyes can tell

right away

that this girl

is deliberately hyping this.

But to be fair,

a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.

In this matter,

Fu Mingyu didn't do well either.

He's at fault too.

You'an,

without knowing the whole picture,

don't rush to conclusions.

Looks like we don't have enough food.

Quick, order two more dishes.

Hurry up.

Yes.

I just happen to know

two particularly delicious dishes.

I'll add them all.

Sixian,

today I'm treating,

eat as much as you want.

I'll pay.

You must be pretty pleased,

getting to watch my embarrassment in person.

I am very pleased,

because I have two

such outstanding daughters.

Today,

it's so rare

that we can sit down and eat together.

I'm truly happy.

As for

you being upset

by other things,

I'm also sorry.

Didn't you want to talk to me

and have me

learn more about Fu Mingyu?

After thinking it over,

I think what I did before

was indeed crossing boundaries.

You're already

a grown adult.

You must have your own judgment.

As for my opinion,

it's really not that important.

Just as long as you're happy.

Isn't that how I am?

You certainly are.

When it comes to dating,

relax.

I think the most important thing in dating

is to enjoy the process.

The outcome

really isn't that important.

So

is that why

you left Dad and me?

Sixian.

Actually, I've always

wanted to find a chance

to sit down properly

and talk to you about this.

But,

Hello?

Hello.

There's something I need to make clear to you.

Let's talk later.

We'll talk in person tomorrow.

Today,

I want to be alone and clear my head.

Okay.

No need to analyze.

She definitely knows.

What do you mean?

She... what did she say?

To talk in person tomorrow.
