(Blossom Through the Cloud)

(Adapted from the novel on JJWXC, "Landing on My Heart", by Qiao Yao)

Hello, is order 0354 ready?

Let me check.

Please hurry.

In modern society,

- Xuan. - most women...

are becoming more daring in pursuing...

what they love and aspire to.

Their dreams...

seldom come to a halt simply because of their gender.

Their careers...

also take on diverse colors...

precisely because of their gender.

(Xinhui Boxing)

Women are increasingly realizing...

that instead of waiting for a hero,

it's better...

to become the warriors...

who overcome all obstacles themselves.

Through their own hard work and sweat,

they gain social recognition and respect.

- Thank you, ma'am. Goodbye. - Would you trust a female driver?

Take care.

Would you trust a female doctor's medical expertise?

Would you trust...

a female pilot's flying skills?

(Episode 17: Fly, Girl!)

Xiao Ruan,

listen to me.

First of all, this is absolutely not what you saw online.

Secondly, our PR department is fully prepared.

We'll release a statement today.

This isn't just for you,

it's also for the image of all of Hengshi.

So we will definitely handle this with the utmost seriousness.

Most importantly,

Mr. Fu is very, very angry.

He was so restless yesterday that he didn't sleep all night.

He's just afraid you will misunderstand.

So he's already dealing with it.

Are you finished?

If you are,

then let him tell me himself.

Xiao Ruan, can you...

promise to talk things out calmly?

Please don't fight, okay?

Look at the timing. They happen to be on patrol.

All right, get back to work.

What's that "ah" for?

Go on. Get back to work. Hurry.

Well, Mr. Fu is already in his office.

He didn't sleep a wink last night.

He has been waiting here for you since early morning.

Please, talk to him nicely.

Didn't you say yesterday that we should talk?

Go ahead.

Come, Xiao Ruan.

Please.

I'll start then.

Li Zhi Huai and I...

are just ordinary friends.

Continue.

Her father was my high school teacher.

We ran into each other in Chuncheng.

Then we returned to Jiangcheng together.

After that, when my teacher found out,

he insisted on inviting me to his home for a drink.

I had to show respect...

to my teacher.

That was the day you drank too much...

and made me wait until late.

Yes.

But I didn't actually drink too much.

During that period, I was just very busy with work.

- I was exhausted. - You're very stubborn, aren't you?

Then what about the flowers?

The flowers...

That day was my teacher's birthday.

I didn't go in person.

So I asked Bai Yang...

to order some flowers.

The florist delivered them.

Yes, Xiao Ruan,

I can vouch for him.

Look, here's the payment record and the electronic invoice.

(Receipt, Sunflowers and Roses Bouquet)

(Li Zhi Huai's Manager)

Here's trouble.

Her manager is calling.

Answer it.

Hello, Bai Yang.

It's Ying.

I'm looking for Mr. Fu.

Could you please transfer the call to him?

I'm here.

Hello, Mr. Fu.

I'm Xiao Huai's manager, Zhang Ying.

We've met before.

I'm terribly sorry.

I was overwhelmed with work yesterday...

and only just found the time...

to give you a call today.

Regarding yesterday's news,

I'm very sorry.

I didn't expect that after all this time,

it would still be leaked.

On our end, we're trying to suppress the buzz.

But as you can see,

Xiao Huai is so popular right now.

We just can't keep it down.

You can get straight to the point.

We'll keep looking for ways to handle it.

We'll issue a statement today.

Is there anything specific...

you would like us to include?

Contact our PR Department directly.

(Li Zhi Huai)

Even more trouble.

(Speaker)

Hello, Ming Yu.

My manager...

should have called you by now.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't expect this matter...

would cause you so much trouble.

We're already handling it.

I'm truly sorry.

I've already handed it over to the PR Department.

That may be so,

but I still feel quite bad about it.

How about this?

When I return to Jiangcheng in a few days,

I'll treat you to a meal...

to apologize properly.

No need.

There's no need to create any unnecessary trouble.

As for the matter I mentioned two days ago...

Contact the Marketing Department directly.

I've already contacted Time Films.

I only care about the final result.

I won't get involved in the process.

Are you busy?

Yes, I'm busy.

I'm spending time with my girlfriend.

Then I'll let you get back to it.

It's an aviation-themed movie.

Li Zhi Huai might be the female lead.

The production team reached out to us...

seeking a collaboration.

Is that all?

That's all.

Okay, I understand.

But if there's a next time,

you can go to my father's grave...

and explain it to him yourself.

Understood.

By the way, my dad loved to drink.

- Xiao Ruan. - Remember to bring some wine.

Mr. Fu,

she said she wants you to drink with her father.

I heard her.

You too.

Ruan Si Xian,

well done.

You didn't just barge into his office...

and give him a piece of your mind.

I would say you were very mature and steady.

Your acting was great too.

I bet you really intimidated him.

That guy.

Even if he had twice the guts next time,

he wouldn't dare try that again.

(Leave WeChat and open in Weibo.)

He's an old classmate of mine.

He took time out to visit my father.

We've been friends for over a decade.

Don't overthink it, everyone.

If there's any good news, I'll definitely let you all know.

(Weibo, Li Zhi Huai)

(Fly to the Top of the Wealthy List)

So what do you think...

about this Weibo post?

I'm wondering the same thing.

Come on. What does she mean by "took time out"?

How is that different from an intentional visit?

And why didn't she mention her dad was Fu Ming Yu's teacher?

(Fly to the Top of the Wealthy List)

Classmates are just classmates.

Why emphasize "friends for over a decade"?

Exactly!

The day has come for Fu Ming Yu.

What are you laughing at now?

Fu Ming Yu's rumored girlfriend just issued a statement.

Let me see.

This statement...

Something isn't right.

I'm guessing she probably...

got rejected by Fu Ming Yu,

so she's trying to save face online.

Don't you think the way she phrased it...

is clearly meant to be an open-ended conclusion...

to leave it to everyone's imagination?

She was already like this back in school.

She always tried to create the impression...

that everyone was in love with her.

But back then, she really did like Fu Ming Yu.

But Fu Ming Yu really didn't like her.

What about you?

It's even more impossible for me to like her.

I have a sharp eye for people.

With one look,

I can tell whether they're good or bad.

I stayed far away from her.

Then how could Fu Ming Yu allow her to post such a statement?

He didn't.

The PR Department would never have agreed to it.

When our PR Department coordinated with them,

the requirements they set were crystal clear.

Absolutely clear.

First, they must clarify that you two...

were only high school classmates.

Second, they must also clarify...

exactly what you two did when you met up.

Their studio followed our instructions,

but I didn't expect...

Li Zhi Huai to post a different version on her own.

Such a simple matter has been made worse by explaining it,

escalating it to this point.

Tell the PR Department...

not to show any mercy.

Before the end of the day, the buzz can stay high,

but the narrative must change.

Okay.

You saw it yourself.

When she gets angry,

the consequences are severe.

- Indeed. - Do you want to drink...

with her dad at the cemetery?

I'm allergic to alcohol.

Then hurry up and order milk tea for everyone.

This all started because of me,

so someone has to fix it.

(Calls, Ruan Si Xian)

Hello. The number you have dialed is powered off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Hello. The number you have dialed is powered off.

Ruan Si Xian.

Ruan Si Xian.

Hello. The number you have dialed is powered off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

(Another day of watching the drama unfold.)

(Don't leave me hanging! What happens next?)

(Who's this? Just a nobody trying to get her 15 minutes of fame.)

Why are there still so many malicious comments?

Xiao Zhou, where did you go this afternoon?

What am I even paying you for?

What's the point of getting mad at her?

I told you not to post anything on your own.

Everything must be aligned...

with the studio's official statement.

Why didn't you listen?

And let me ask you,

what was the rush?

Regarding that female pilot project,

our negotiations were almost finalized.

When the time comes, you just need to focus on your acting.

And before you pull these little stunts in private,

can't you give us a heads-up?

You've put us in a very difficult position!

Rising stars are usually...

terrified of their relationships leaking.

But look at you.

It's like you want the whole world to know!

The key is to find a good partner.

But you found someone who is untouchable!

How was I supposed to know that he already had a girlfriend?

Even if he didn't, you still shouldn't have done this.

What do you think we are? Some amateur studio?

Later,

hand over your social media accounts to Xiao Zhou.

Ying.

I'm sorry. I know I was wrong.

I just really wanted that role.

Ying.

Xiao Huai,

things are very difficult for the company right now.

We'll see about the project later.

Ruan Si Xian.

Ruan Si Xian.

I can explain everything to you.

I know you're in there.

Can you open the door first?

What should I do?

- What are you doing? - You finally opened the door.

Have you been crying?

Who's crying?

You don't think I was hiding in here crying, do you?

Then why have you locked yourself inside all afternoon?

I was studying.

There are so many exams every year.

Don't I need time to prepare?

- Really? - What else?

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

You really gave me a fright.

Did you read Li Zhi Huai's statement?

I read it on my way home.

This female classmate of yours is quite interesting.

What about the latest one?

The latest one?

"Regarding the recent online rumors..."

"about our vice president, Mr. Fu Ming Yu,"

"we hereby make the following statement."

"First, Mr. Fu Ming Yu visited Ms. Li's father..."

"late last autumn..."

"because he was Mr. Fu's high school homeroom teacher."

"Visiting a teacher to show gratitude..."

"is a duty for everyone."

"Second,"

"Mr. Fu and Ms. Li..."

"have both been very busy..."

"in the 10 years since graduation."

"They have met three times in total,"

"for a total of 2 hours and 5 minutes of interaction."

"Two of those hours were spent..."

"at a chance encounter at a gala last year..."

"and a small gathering with the mentioned teacher."

"Being classmates is fate,"

"but that fate ends at graduation."

"Meeting again depends on luck."

"We hope everyone cherishes their past school friendships."

"Third, Vice President Fu..."

"is not single."

"He is in a stable relationship with his girlfriend."

"Fourth,"

"log on to the official Hengshi website..."

"to register as a member."

"New spring travel routes will be available soon."

"Enjoy your Exclusive Flight Butler Service."

"The most beautiful routes are at Hengshi."

Goodness, this is so satisfying!

I'm exhausted just from reading it.

I have to say,

the PR department was fast this time.

This whole statement...

screams one message.

- "Stay away from him." - They even threw in an ad.

As expected of a team trained by Fu Ming Yu.

So what are the comments saying?

It's all mockery.

They're saying things like,

"The tables turned way too fast."

Why did she even bother?

It's all for work.

It's all for survival, I guess.

Actually, everyone's way of working is different.

It's just that she...

chose the dumbest way possible.

I wonder how Ruan Ruan is doing right now.

What are you laughing at?

How can you still laugh?

You're wasting public resources, sir.

I'm laughing at myself.

I spent the whole afternoon worried about you.

It was all for nothing.

Exactly.

You're "Captain" Ruan,

Ruan Si Xian.

You wouldn't let such a trivial matter get to you.

No,

I'm actually very petty.

But she's just your high school classmate.

She's not even an ex-girlfriend.

If I have time to gossip,

I would rather study more.

Weirdos don't come around every year,

but professional exams happen several times a year.

- Not mad anymore? - Am I an air pump?

Why would I have so much to vent?

Well, who was it this morning...

that barged into my office in a murderous mood?

And treated me...

I can't be bothered to be mad at her.

But you're the one who caused this.

I'm mad at you.

I'm mad that you didn't come clean the night you got back.

I'm mad that you didn't turn yourself in...

the moment it happened.

I'm sorry.

It was indeed my fault.

It won't happen again.

Don't be mad.

But...

is it that you don't trust me...

or that you care about me too much?

I don't know who's more anxious.

Anyway, someone stood outside my door...

like a student in time-out all afternoon.

And you're even sitting so close.

Okay, then I have to protest.

What are you protesting?

You're the one who caused this mess.

- How dare you protest? - Of course I'm going to protest.

Lately, you've been pulling disappearing acts.

Didn't we have a deal?

As soon as you land, you're supposed to let me know.

But every time you land,

contacting me isn't the first thing you do after turning on your phone.

And now, you didn't even say you were home.

I waited for you outside all afternoon.

I couldn't see you, you didn't answer my calls,

and you didn't reply to my texts.

Ruan Si Xian, I'm talking to you.

Do you have any idea how worried I was?

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for a way out of this.

A way out?

There's no way out.

- Put me down. - No.

- I have to find it too. - I'm dizzy.

Does a pilot get dizzy?

Where's that way out you found?

I'm hungry.

I want clam rice noodles.

I've been craving them for so long.

You have someone so handsome right here at home.

Instead of craving me,

you're craving clam rice noodles?

I don't care.

You're being clingy again.

You're starting to interfere with my normal life.

Fine.

I'm interfering with "Captain" Ruan's normal life.

Then I'll just leave, okay?

If you're leaving, you have to put me down first.

I found the way out.

I'm leaving then.

Who said you could leave?

Didn't you tell me to leave?

You leave just because I say so?

See you at the noodle shop.

Last one there pays the bill!

She kissed me.

As if you would ever be the last one there.

Mr. Fu, the Catering Department has prepared the new seasonal menu.

They've upgraded...

the special ordering system for passengers.

The tasting is currently scheduled for this Friday at noon.

Isn't Friday when we have the meeting with the film studio?

Are we still going to collaborate with them?

The Brand Promotion Department... has already stopped coordinating with them.

Did I ever say I wanted to terminate the collaboration?

But things with Li Zhi Huai...

have become so messy.

If the project is good, why not invest?

It's not like she is the only actress available.

Stop snacking.

Name an actress you like.

Cheng Yi Ke.

Great, when we have dinner with the producers,

we can discuss the casting.

Also, tell the PR Department to keep in touch.

Understood. Don't worry.

- I'm looking forward to it. - Everyone, watch your step.

- Please be careful. - This way.

Sir, please watch your step.

Please show your boarding pass.

Watch your step.

Watch your step. Stay safe.

Everyone, please watch your step.

Be careful.

Welcome aboard Hengshi Air.

- Can you hold this for me? - Sure, no problem.

Passengers, please watch your step.

Excuse me, sir. Please stop taking photos.

Please proceed with boarding.

Your boarding pass, please.

Your boarding pass, please.

Welcome aboard. Please head inside.

Welcome aboard. Please head inside.

Hello, sir. How can I help you?

If you feel unwell or need any assistance,

please feel free to call me.

Check it again.

Master, there's another one here.

Captain, we found coins in the engine's bypass duct.

We suspect a passenger threw them.

Threw coins?

How many have you found so far?

Only two. I'm not sure if there are more.

What era are we living in?

Why are people still throwing coins?

This isn't the first time.

It happens every few years.

It's a real headache. The police have been called.

Okay, copy that.

We can't fly.

When are we taking off? Look at the time!

Hello, sir. Please stay calm.

We'll take off as soon as possible.

Please wait a moment.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the crew found two coins near the aircraft.

If you threw these coins,

please contact us immediately.

Thank you.

No one is going to admit to that.

- Call the police. - Okay.

I already admitted I threw them.

So what if I did? Can't you just pick them up?

I'll go pick them up for you.

Wait.

How many coins did you throw in total?

Four.

I only had four in my pocket.

I was supposed to throw nine.

Do you know the consequences...

of throwing these coins?

I don't care about the consequences!

You guys at Hengshi hired a female driver to fool us.

Have you thought about the consequences?

I only threw a few coins. What's wrong with praying for blessings?

Officer, I'm officially filing a report now.

Next, let's just follow the standard procedure.

You don't have to file a police report.

What did I even do?

You really didn't do much.

You simply tossed some coins...

into the engine.

This matter is actually easy to handle.

It's just a matter of compensation.

It'll be about tens of thousands of yuan.

But if I have to have the engine removed,

repaired, and then reinstalled,

you'll owe over a hundred thousand yuan.

And that "female driver" you just mentioned...

is a female pilot hired by Hengshi at a high salary.

You are suspected of violating Article 116 of the Criminal Law,

the crime of sabotaging of a transport vehicle.

- Hello? - We are accepting this case.

Please cooperate with the investigation. Have all four coins been found?

They were indeed in the engine, right?

Okay, I understand.

Officer, I'll leave the rest to you.

How's the situation?

Do you think he missed out...

on his nine years of compulsory education?

If this plane had taken off, it would have been a catastrophe.

He was "praying for blessings",

but he almost sent everyone to their graves.

And look, this plane...

It sounds like you're quite heartbroken over it.

Of course. How could I not be?

Is it your family's plane? Why are you so upset?

During meetings, you tell us to treat Hengshi as our home.

Now you're saying it's not mine?

So is Hengshi my home or not?

As long as I am yours,

then Hengshi will always be your home.

I'm off. Go on.

Fly safe.

Here.

If you ask me, don't bother.

This video of yours...

isn't as good as us pretending to be a couple.

That would get you views. The account would grow so fast.

Am I some kind of masochist?

If I pretend to be a couple with you,

and your entire company of ex-girlfriends sees it,

they'll come to attack me and get my account banned.

Look at this video.

It has no highlights at all.

Who would want to watch this?

Then what highlights do you want?

A video...

needs jokes, which you don't have.

Or long legs, which you don't have.

You're just recording the working lives...

of these ordinary women.

If this video gets over 100 likes,

I'll eat grapes while doing a handstand. Yan An, if you say one more word,

I'll rip your legs off and put them in this video.

Even if no one watches it,

I still want to make the videos I want to make...

and express what I want to express.

Besides eating grapes all day, what else can you do?

You're just sitting here criticizing my video.

Go away. I don't want to see you.

- You're so annoying. - I'm not leaving.

- I'll just watch you edit. - Go away!

Look at this.

When you need me, you call me "Brother An".

Now that you don't need me, you're ready to kick me out.

Do you know what this is called?

The modern farmer and the viper.

Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf.

Zheng You An and Yan An.

- No! - Eat it. Don't you love grapes?

- I can't eat it! I'm full! - But you like them!

I'm not eating! Help!

- Dad. - Mr. Zheng.

Yan An is here too.

What a coincidence.

What brings you here today?

Since I opened this studio,

you haven't cared or asked about it.

Now you're here all of a sudden.

What's going on? Is the family business failing?

So this is your studio.

Can you save the small talk?

What kind of question is that?

I'm standing right here.

If this isn't my studio, what else could it be?

Don't tell me you came here because you got lost,

took a wrong turn, and just wandered in by accident.

Is that how you talk to your father?

I'm talking to you...

the same way I always do.

- Yan An. - Mr. Zheng.

Lately,

have you two been together all the time?

Not all the time.

At night, we still go to our own homes.

That's right.

Sit down.

Mr. Zheng, please, you sit.

I say, you sit.

Yan An.

You two...

What exactly is...

your relationship?

Old Zheng!

What exactly are you here for?

To conduct a census?

I'm asking...

I say one sentence,

and you have a hundred waiting for me.

You asked, but you won't let me speak.

Yan An,

is everything okay at home lately?

Everything is fine.

- Is your father well? - My dad is fine.

My mom is doing well too.

Since you're always here,

you haven't been helping at home, right?

My family's business doesn't really need me to manage it.

You're a grown man now, right?

Family matters must be taken care of eventually.

Like me, your father will get old too.

I understand.

As you know, I only have An An, my one precious daughter.

If you two are dating,

I'm not some feudal patriarch.

I won't object.

But I have two requests that you must promise me.

Please go ahead.

First,

I don't care about your past.

But from now on,

you must clear up all those messy affairs,

meaning those relationships with women.

Get them sorted out.

Secondly,

although the Zheng family has faced some issues lately...

and some minor difficulties,

we still have a family business.

I hope...

that you can take charge in the future.

I understand. No problem.

What do you mean, "no problem"?

I have a problem.

And you said you weren't a feudal patriarch.

Look at you. What kind of behavior is this?

You're not like this at home.

What family business requires him to be the one to take charge?

Can't I do it?

Why do you trust him so much? I get it now.

You've been pressuring me to get married...

because, in reality, you're just looking for an heir.

If that's the case, just transfer your assets to him directly.

Why go through all this trouble and put in so much effort?

I'm your only daughter.

But you never let me handle any family business.

You would rather trust him than trust me!

And you call this spoiling me?

I'm telling your mom!

All you do is tell Mom! You...

What is slamming a card down supposed to mean?

Take care, Mr. Zheng.

I can't use the simulator without a booking.

There are no movies I want to see.

I don't want to go home either.

This day off is useless to me.

Waiting for a car?

No, I'm waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

Is something the matter?

Actually,

there's something I would like to ask you about.

Go ahead.

When you quit to go to the aviation academy,

that must have been a tough decision.

In this world,

there really are no permanent enemies.

The two of them can sit down and have a drink together now.

Isn't that how it is with you women?

Long-term unions lead to splits, and long-term splits lead to unions.

Since you were kids, it has been, "I'm friends with you today,"

"but not tomorrow."

Don't give me that "you women" talk.

Don't you men ever fall out and then make up?

Get back to work.

Anyway, I'm quite sorry.

Whether you forgive me or not,

I should apologize sincerely...

for everything I've done...

to you in the past.

That's all in the past.

Mainly because...

those things...

didn't really hurt me.

Still, I shouldn't have done them.

I'm being thick-skinned coming to you,

but I don't know anyone else...

who has had a similar experience.

Do you want to quit and go to flight school?

I'm over the age limit. It's not about flight school.

But I do want to resign.

However,

I haven't fully made up my mind yet.

So I wanted to ask you,

how were you so resolute back then?

At the time,

I was partly acting out of spite.

I just gritted my teeth and did it.

Why do you suddenly want to quit?

Maybe...

I just feel like there is no hope for the future.

It's like I've run into a dead end.

You could transfer to another department.

Besides, Hengshi doesn't have many pursers...

as seasoned as you.

Maybe in a few years,

you'll be promoted to management.

There's still hope.

Why does that sound so familiar?

But then again,

being a flight attendant...

did give me a lot.

At least it allowed me to leave my original home.

But Xiao Ruan, you know what?

The ironic thing is, all my motivation in the past...

was actually driven...

by the desire to have a family of my own.

So I worked hard for a long time to achieve that.

I tolerated Yue Yang time and time again.

Then I went to you to mark my territory.

In the end, I found out...

that he didn't like me at all.

All the beauty was just my imagination.

I often thought,

"I, Jiang Zi Yue, am so outstanding."

"How could you, Yue Yang, not like me?"

"Why don't you like me?"

"How could you possibly not like me?"

But later, after going through so much,

I think I've grown a little.

At least now,

I can accept the fact that someone doesn't like me.

You know what? Sometimes I really envy you.

To be honest, that envy...

is tinged with a bit of resentment.

Maybe that's just human nature.

I often tell myself not to think that way.

But I just can't control myself.

I feel so indignant.

Why is it that despite my hard work,

I'm always just a little bit behind others?

The things I've wanted since I was a kid,

the things I've longed for,

I've never actually gotten them.

Do you think I'm asking for too much?

Is that why I'm so unhappy?

What's wrong with wanting things?

You deserve them.

And all these years,

you've worked harder than anyone.

You're also better than anyone.

You just met someone...

who let you down.

You can't deny yourself like this...

just because of a recent setback.

If you want to find someone who won't let you down...

or betray you,

that person is yourself.

So it's not too late, right?

Do you also think there's still hope for me?

Get away from me!

Why are you so angry?

Didn't you take the card?

I told you, I'm not going to use that money.

- Don't follow me! - Why are you so mad at me?

I didn't do anything to you.

Yan An,

we've been hanging out for so long,

flirting back and forth,

but you haven't confessed once, nor have you made any promises.

Then today, as soon as my dad shows up,

you just go ahead and take over the Zheng family business.

You're quite good at taking what others worked for!

I didn't take your family business.

Your dad forced it on me.

Forced?

So you just took it?

He gave it, and you just took it?

I was just scared at the time, so I accepted it.

But I won't actually keep it.

What if he gave me to you? Would you take me?

We're buddies. Why are you saying things like that?

Yan An,

you're a real piece of work.

Don't follow me.

Zheng You An, let me explain!

Don't run! Watch the steps. Seriously, don't run.

- Go away! - Zheng You An!

Xuan!

Give me your strongest drink.

Isn't this the one who had a Long Island Iced Tea...

and ended up under the table?

You're here early today. They're over there.

Ms. Ruan!

I've been so wronged today.

What happened now?

It's so good that you're here.

You have to stay with me tonight.

We're drinking until we drop.

I have so much to vent about.

- I know only you understand me. - Okay.

Don't just wail. Tell me what happened.

Let me have a drink first.

Xuan, drinks!

Coming!

Before you have strong liquor, shouldn't you eat something first?

The strong stuff is coming right up.

And who's this?

She's Zi Yue, a purser at our airline.

Zi Yue.

You've been crying.

It's nothing. I just got a little emotional.

Who upset you?

Tell me. I'll give them a piece of my mind.

Let me tell you, you'll feel better once you vent.

Don't cry.

Don't give her too much.

Just a tiny bit will do.

Any less and there would be nothing.

See what you would like to drink.

I'll just have water today.

Who upset you?

Tell me. I'll give them a piece of my mind.

Who knows how drunk she'll get?

Don't worry, I won't give her much.

Are you two together?

The likes of me?

Just an ordinary friend.

At least you're self-aware.

I'm so mad my fists are clenched.

Why wasn't I on that flight?

If I were there, I would grab him by the collar...

and give him a few slaps!

What did he mean by that?

Tossing coins?

He thinks we women can't do these things well, right?

My dad is exactly like him.

He doesn't trust me with our family's hotel.

He insists on handing it over to an outsider like him.

I don't even know why!

Just because he's a man?

What kind of relationship does he have with our family?

He and my dad aren't even related.

Even between him and me, we're just...

Ordinary friends.

He just said it.

Yes.

Ordinary friends.

He doesn't even have the guts to pursue me.

He doesn't even dare! What a cowardly man!

Tell me, what does my dad see in him?

I really don't get it!

He's unbelievably cowardly! I...

Drink slowly.

Wait, something's not right.

What's wrong?

I've drunk so much,

but my head is still so clear.

Xuan, is your alcohol fake or something?

Don't say things like that.

This is a legitimate bar.

Yan An.

Get me something strong.

- Okay. - Hurry up.

- Make it weak. - Of course.

It really doesn't taste like alcohol.

Miss, do you need anything else?

- Go away. - Understood.

All right. You guys stay and have fun.

I have things to do tomorrow,

so I'll head out first.

Zi Yue, did I talk too much just now?

- Not at all. - Wait.

I actually enjoyed listening to you.

- Then I... - All right.

She has a flight tomorrow. I'll see her out.

Don't drink too much.

Zi Yue,

in the future, if anyone messes with you,

just tell me, and I'll give them a piece of my mind.

If I can't out-talk them, I'll just hit them!

What are you doing, ordinary friend?

What are you talking about?
