Original subtitles

You scared the hell out of me!

Sorry.

If you're sleepy,

why don't you go upstairs to get some sleep?

I was not sleepy!

I was meditating!

Meditating? Really?

Where's Mingyu?

Hasn't he been home these days?

He hasn't been home since Ma Ao.

Don't play dumb.

Come on.

Didn't you and Zheng

plot this whole thing?

Plot?

No.

What did we plot?

Keep pretending!

Go on, keep it up!

You.

You two

sent Mingyu to Ma Ao

to be with Zheng's daughter.

That was clearly

to set them up.

You think I can't see

through that little scheme?

Zheng had the idea,

and I couldn't turn him down.

Right?

But it's You'an.

We've watched her grow up.

We know her inside out.

That's why

I don't wanna

have anything to do with them.

In my view,

let the young people

make their own choices.

Maybe something will spark

between them in Ma Ao.

I hate hearing that!

How can you even do that?

Mingyu went there

for work,

and you had to burden him with that?

You sure make yourselves at home!

You...

You just don't like

You'an's mother, do you?

It's stepmother!

So what if they become in-laws?

We can just keep our distance later.

It's the worst case.

In-laws?

Surprise!

So cool!

Mingyu.

Is she

tired or not?

Come on.

Smile!

A hundred days old!

How adorable!

OMG...

What sin have I committed

to end up as in-laws with Dong Xian?

If God

would send a soulmate

to win Mingyu's heart,

I'd go vegetarian for a whole year.

She's not home.

Good that she's out.

Our surprise would be ruined if she were here.

Come on!

Okay!

Almost done? I'm starving.

Done.

Everything's ready.

Come and eat.

Looks good.

You can even carve characters.

But you cooked so much...

I might not finish it.

You have to finish it anyway,

or watch out for your year-end bonus.

What are you wiping off?

My lipstick mark.

Should I eat it with the noodles?

Don't wipe it off.

It looks good.

What's gotten into you today?

You're emotionally intelligent today!

Come on. Eat up.

Thanks.

There's also cake!

Looks like Mr. Fu came prepared.

"Dear Ruan,"

"if the road ahead is long,"

"may it be lined with blooming flowers."

"If not, don't be afraid."

"We will always stand by you."

"Be a proud princess!"

"Love you always."

Well,

I ordered this cake for you

on behalf of Hengshi Airlines

The words on it

are the best wishes

from all Hengshi Airlines staff,

along with their affection for you.

Happy birthday!

Thanks.

Nice.

You're really something!

Of course.

It looks like Ms. Ruan

doesn't wanna lose her year-end bonus.

Who would wanna lose?

Hello?

No need.

I've finished eating.

How did you know I live here?

It's still raining outside.

You should head back now.

Fine.

Wait a moment.

Sir, do you have an umbrella?

Sure.

What for?

I wanna get something outside.

It's pouring.

Let me go.

Thank you.

Madam Dong.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Mingyu,

Where's Ruan?

It rains heavily,

so I didn't let her come down.

Mingyu,

may I ask you

what's your relationship

with Ruan now?

At work,

we're employer and employee.

After work,

we're friends.

Just friends...

Madam Dong,

what kind of relationship

we will have

depends on Ruan.

I can ask her

when I get home.

Alright.

Then...

Please take it to her.

I'll make sure to pass on your best wishes.

It rains heavily.

Please take care on your way home.

Thank you, Mingyu.

You're back.

A few days ago,

Madam Dong actually asked me

whether you were on duty today.

You told her?

No.

I have professional ethics, okay?

This looks just like the one you ordered.

Keep it

PG?

She is my mom.

She just asked me

what our relationship is.

What did you say?

I told her

we're friends.

Yes,

we are.

Since we're friends,

let me

give you a birthday gift.

You'll accept it, right?

What is it?

This way.

So many planes!

You like it?

I thought

you would give me a real plane.

That's not impossible,

but there's a catch.

Are these all your collection?

Yes.

Really for me?

Just pick.

Then I won't hold back.

I'll choose...

Z101.

I didn't say only one.

Really?

In this room,

you can pick

everything you like.

What if I like everything?

Does that include me?

Fu Mingyu!

You wanna take advantage of me?

Gonna hit me again?

Kick me?

You look really

gorgeous today.

Then...

I'll go home.

Surprise! Happy birthday!

You scared the hell out of me!

[Your cake.]

I don't want it.

Keep it for yourself.

[I left it at your door.]

[Remember to take it back.]

Alright, spill it.

We've been waiting for you.

Where did you go?

What were you doing with Fu Mingyu?

Come clean.

I...

Tell me.

What did you have for dinner?

Longevity noodles.

Just longevity noodles?

He's a big-shot VP,

but just ordered takeout noodles?

It's not takeout.

He cooked for me.

What?

As such a VP,

he cooked you noodles on his own?

Alright.

Can we stop talking about food?

Fine.

Your turn.

Okay.

So tonight,

what did you two do?

He cooked noodles.

I ate them and picked gifts.

Then I came back.

That's all?

That's all.

Then why are you so flustered?

Am I flustered?

Yes, you are.

When you came in and closed the door,

you were breathing heavily,

and your face was red.

I swear!

That's because

I didn't take the elevator

but ran down the stairs.

You get winded

from one flight of stairs?

And he ordered you a cake?

One was from my mom,

and the other from him

on behalf of Hengshi.

I've been working there for seven years,

but I've never

gotten such nice treatment.

Poor guy.

Let's open it.

Oh no, it's smashed!

It's been through quite a lot,

but still edible.

You guys didn't have any at all?

I rushed back

and didn't get a chance to eat.

Why did you come back so early?

Did he

try to come on to you?

No. It's because

I needed to get these planes back

in case he changed his mind.

Okay, I believe you.

"If the road ahead is long..."

Hey, those are my words!

They really are!

She's very mentally resilient.

We grilled her all night

but got nothing out of her.

I don't think you need to ask anymore.

Something's definitely going on between them.

But don't worry.

Your job is safe,

right?

Go park it yourself.

I wonder

whose car this actually is.

I'm always the one driving it.

Drive safe, okay?

Today is Ruan's birthday.

Xuan and I noticed

she's got something ambiguous going on

with our company's VP.

We questioned her all night, but she wouldn't confess.

She's got a really tight lip.

Yours is pretty tight too.

When do you confess your feelings?

How much longer are you planning

to sleep here?

It must be because of my period.

Just hormones acting up.

Why else would I be thinking about him?

Stop thinking about him.

When my period comes,

lock my heart away.

Stop thinking.

Stop thinking.

What the hell?

Hormones hit that hard?

Have you had breakfast?

Yes, I have.

It's drizzling outside today,

so it might be hard to get a cab.

Go get changed first.

I'll wait for you downstairs.

Mr. Fu.

Today's flight

may not take off.

How about I notify them first?

Okay.

I'm heading to the U.S. today.

I'll be back in ten days.

So?

Just letting you know.

Ridiculous.

Get off. I'll go park.

But it's raining out there.

If I get off here,

I'll have to walk in the rain.

But if I drive

to the parking lot,

you've got even farther to walk.

It's closer here, right?

Can't you just

drop me right at the gate?

Which gate?

The main gate.

Only the president

parks there, you know.

Now,

if I park there

and other colleagues see us,

how do they think?

Anyway, it's raining.

I'm not getting off.

You're so harsh.

If I get a DiDi, [*DiDi is a ride-hailing app.]

the driver would stop right there.

Am I a DiDi driver?

If I pull up there,

colleagues will recognize my car.

You're just afraid of being seen.

That never even

crossed my mind.

That's exactly what you mean.

If they see us and ask,

I'll just say I ran into you in the rain

and you happened

to give me a ride.

Besides,

who's even going to ask that?

Are you new to the workplace?

Lots of people are super gossipy.

They'll definitely ask.

And then,

I have to spend time explaining.

You don't wanna explain,

so you'd rather I walk in the rain?

There's an umbrella.

Yue Yang,

if some colleague

who means

nothing to you

got in your car,

they wouldn't be treated like this.

Let me tell you.

There's no "if".

Only you

have ever sat here.

Only you, no other women.

I don't even let a man sit here.

- Really? - Really.

Of course.

When you're

not on my car,

I keep a photo of you right here,

and a bunch of snacks on this side,

just to remind everyone

this seat is taken

by Jiang Ziyue.

Then swear it.

Swear.

Actually, I know

what you're thinking now.

You want people to know

how in love we are, right?

I think just the two of us

know about this happiness.

It is enough,

right?

Why do we need to put on

some kind of show

for other people

to prove something?

Besides, you're so beautiful

and so capable.

Your colleagues

are nowhere near your level.

If they get jealous of you,

I can't even imagine

what will happen.

Come on.

You're all talk.

Yeah, just my mouth.

You only ever

do this stuff

when I'm already mad.

Alright.

Chill out.

You're gonna be late.

Here you are.

I'm really leaving.

Bye.

Thank you.

Checking for drunk drivers?

Morning, instructor!

I just saw

Ruan Sixian

get out of Mr. Fu's car.

Really?

Of course.

Mr. Fu's car is parked right there.

He dropped her off himself.

Instructor,

you know what.

I used to give her tips,

telling her how to woo Mr. Fu.

How ridiculous!

Thinking back,

I was such a fool.

What time is your flight?

Aren't you afraid of being late?

I'm running out of time.

I gotta go.

See you later.

Xiaozhen...

Sis,

let me explain.

Lu Ming?

Yes, this car.

Ni Tong, we're leaving.

Bye!

Take care.

When will this rain let up?

How long am I

gonna wait?

Ni Tong.

Ruan!

Did you get a cab?

Not yet.

Still over twenty-plus ahead of me.

Where do you go?

My friend

is picking me up soon.

I can give you a lift.

Ruan,

is this friend of yours

Mr. Fu?

Wait for your own cab.

Can't I even ask?

Xiaozhen, where are you?

I'm in the parking lot now.

I've landed.

How's the weather over there?

Am I crazy?

Why did I text him?

[Sorry.]

[The subscriber you dialed is power off.]

Why is it off?

[Hello, Ruan.]

[Hello, Xuan.]

I've landed,

but I can't reach Xiaozhen.

[What time did she]

[leave the bar?]

She left

pretty early.

She said she went to Lu Ming's place first,

and then headed to the airport to pick you up.

[Hasn't she shown up yet?]

No.

Her phone is off.

What if something happened to her?

I've been waiting here for a long time.

Don't panic.

I remember there's Lu Ming's home address

in the group chat.

[I'll head over now.]

Okay, I'll go too.

Let's meet there.

Ruan?

What do you mean?

Ruan.

This is my cab.

Where's your friend?

My friend might be in danger.

I'll cover all the fare.

Come get on.

Hurry up.

Wait.

Sir, Ruifeng Garden first.

Ruan,

how could you do that?

I waited so long for this cab.

Shut up.

I can't reach Xiaozhen.

Sir, please step on it.

Xiaozhen.

Why are you

sitting out here at night?

Where's Lu Ming?

I've been waiting for him.

I don't know where he is.

He's not here.

Don't cry.

Crying won't help.

- Xiaozhen. - It's okay.

Where's Lu Ming?

Ruan.

It's okay.

- I can't find Lu Ming. - Don't cry.

Here you are.

Drink it while it's hot.

I get one too?

You got soaked in the rain too.

Thank you.

Ruan, don't give her any.

She left you stranded at the airport

for a man.

I never realized

this little thing was so boy-crazy.

I'm not a little thing.

You're not a little thing

but nothing.

How could you...

Xuan.

Ruan.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to

leave you at the airport.

I just didn't know what to do.

I wanted to ask him face to face

why

he ignores me every time he goes out.

No texts, no calls.

Why does he go so long

without contacting me?

And my phone

died.

I lost my mind for a second.

I'm really not boy-crazy!

Fine.

I know you're not.

You're not that kind of person.

Si Xiaozhen.

Is a jerk really worth all this?

"Going out", "business trips"...

Those are just

the foreplay before he ghosts you.

Once he goes out,

he can do everything.

Then he can shamelessly

tell you he's busy,

and that he doesn't care about

how you feel.

He's not that kind of guy!

He always tells me...

Does sweet-talking

have to sound so harsh?

Tong Le.

Come here.

Say some of

your best sweet talk

to cheer up a girl.

Before I met you,

my life

didn't have a plan.

But now it does.

I've unilaterally

included you

in my future plans.

I'm not

a gentle guy.

But for you,

I can do gentle things.

I didn't know how to make drinks at all,

but to stay here,

I did everything I could

to learn.

So,

whether you think

I'm only after your looks,

or that I've lost my mind,

it doesn't matter.

I just want you to know,

for you,

I can change everything about myself.

- Enough. - I...

See?

A man will say anything

to sweet-talk a girl.

Everything I said was true.

You're not done yet?

Are the glasses washed? Go back to work.

Okay.

Men

will say anything

to get what they want.

One second they're all over you,

burning hot,

the next they give you the cold shoulder.

without hesitation.

If you ask them

why don't they cherish the past?

What past? There is no past.

Those are all in your head.

Okay, then,

even if we grant all that,

are you and Lu Ming

in a relationship?

Did he confess his feelings to you?

Ghosting is the last shred of decency

between adults.

You're so silly,

showing up at his door yourself

and ending up so humiliated.

You look really

gorgeous today.

I'm heading to the U.S. today.

I'll be back in ten days.

[Jerk.]

[Garrulous.]

Back then,

didn't Ruan and I

tell you

that guy wasn't reliable?

Didn't we both tell you

to calm down?

You didn't listen at all.

The tears you're shedding now

are for all the bad judgment back then.

It's good to let them out.

Is it because

I made him

invest too much time,

and I never

gave him a clear answer,

so he lost patience?

After everything I just said,

you're still blaming yourself.

Seduce and abandon.

That's a jerk's favorite move.

He's already moved on to the next one,

and you're still looking for faults in yourself.

Alright, Xiaozhen.

Whatever the reason is,

you need to face reality.

Generally speaking,

there are three common reasons for sudden ghosting.

First,

he's found someone new.

Second,

his real girlfriend found out.

Third,

he's in jail.

So which one is he?

Whichever one it is,

you need to act

as if that guy never existed.

Come on. Don't be upset.

Finish this drink,

and forget the jerk.

Dump him and move on.

The next one will treat you better.

You're so nice.

Still cold?

No.

What's up with Charles?

What's his deal anyway?

Leaving us hanging like this,

that's so rude.

He's late!

We're not even here

on behalf of the company to negotiate.

He also knows

why I'm here.

It's normal for him to put on airs.

If I had known,

we didn't need to come this early

right after landing.

You haven't eaten anything.

We could've grabbed a bite first.

No need to wait here for him.

Let's wait a bit longer.

If we hadn't come early,

we might not have caught him.

But the moment he's here,

the jet lag is hitting you.

How are you even holding up?

I was thinking I could

take you to Chinatown for a visit.

There's an amazing hotpot place.

Little folding stools,

tiny benches,

spicy Mala Xiangguo hotpot.

Lots of local Chinese folks

go there all the time.

It's really delicious.

I don't eat spicy food.

How did these two drink so much?

Tong Le.

What did you put

in this ginger tea?

Red wine.

Red wine?

Which one?

The one

under your cabinet.

I saw you had opened it ages ago,

and it was still unfinished.

I didn't want it to go to waste.

Oh shit.

Romanée-Conti.

Tastes like ginger.

What a waste!

Move.

Easy, easy.

Easy.

Where's the light?

The light's on your left.

Close the door.

We forgot the suitcase.

Hey! Change your shoes!

Jesus.

Forget the shoes.

I can barely hold her up!

Get her onto the bed first.

Easy.

OMG.

Easy.

Give me a hand.

Easy, easy.

Alright.

Wait outside.

I'll get her changed first.

I'll go get some water.

Tong Le.

From now on, if these two come,

don't give them any alcohol.

unless someone's with them.

You...

What did you say?

I said,

drinking should be done with company.

Who do you wanna keep you company?

How about me?

Is there no internet in the U.S.?

Why don't you text me?

Thank you.

- Thank you so much. - Nice to meet you guys.

Me too.

- Have a great trip. - See you.

See you.

See you.

Bye guys.

See you.

Hello?

[Hello.]

[Is that Fu Mingyu?]

This is Fu Mingyu.

So your phone isn't lost after all.

[And it isn't broken either.]

[Every time you go on a trip, you pretend to be busy.]

And when you pretend to be busy, you don't text.

Seduce and abandon.

You get what you want and then turn away.

Have you been drinking?

No.

I'm very sober right now.

I'm about to make a huge decision.

I'm going to kick you out...

out of my head.

[I don't wanna think about you anymore.]

[You jerk.]

[You think]

[just because you celebrated my birthday,]

[that gives you a title in my life?]

[You're way off.]

I'm gonna lock my heart away.

I'll be immune to all charms.

I'll follow Xuan's advice.

Never believe men's sweet talk.

[I don't believe you anymore.]

[You jerk.]

Mr. Fu.

We need to

compress this schedule further.

I need to get back early.

Skip the hotpot?
