[When I Meet The Moon]

[Episode 4]

This Little Kid does talk nonsense all the time,

but he's quite reliable when he's working.

Smells so good.

It'll be ready soon.

Tangy!

What kind of cursed cuisine is this?

I was just trying to expand

our guesthouse's menu.

Just leave it to me.

Why don't you go help Lili?

I don't want anyone to get food poisoning

before we even open.

Go help her. Go ahead.

What are you staring at?

You were spacing out.

The meat is burnt!

Well...

I... I was just thinking about something

and zoning out for a bit.

Thinking about your sweetheart?

What sweetheart?

Tang Lin said she wanted some sweetheart cakes.

Your sweetheart is here.

Uncle!

Remember to say hi to him later.

You even brought red wine?

Well,

Xia,

w-we don't have enough food.

I'll chop up some more.

Here, Uncle.

Thanks,

Lili.

Thank you.

What about mine?

I don't even have enough for myself.

Don't you still have some more?

Give me one.

I don't have enough for myself.

Tangy,

don't stoop to the level

of an ill-mannered brat.

Take this freshly grilled one.

Xia, you're the best.

How can we have a barbecue without cola?

I'll fetch some cola.

There's

a freshly made crepe roll in the fridge.

Can you get it for me?

Sure.

Make way.

Old Auntie,

first come, first served.

Can't you wait until I'm done?

Move away.

Thank goodness the cola didn't spill.

Lili!

Your milk.

Thanks.

My uncle doesn't drink cola.

Li.

Um,

why do Fu Zhengchu and Xia

have different surnames?

Aren't they biological siblings?

Fu Zhengchu took my sister's surname.

Xia Congsheng

was supposed to take my sister's surname, too.

Then was Fu Zhengchu

supposed to take his dad's surname?

Nope.

My brother-in-law is quite henpecked.

What about you?

Well,

I was asking if you're also afraid of your sister,

not if you're afraid of... your wife.

Yun Li,

what nonsense are you talking about?

By the way.

What's your name?

Yun Li.

Yun Li... Li.

He didn't mention the meme.

I'll just pretend it never happened.

Come on.

Lili,

are you going to register tomorrow?

Yep.

Why don't you go with us?

No need to trouble you.

I-I can just go

with Tangy.

It's no trouble.

My uncle is driving us there anyway.

Is that okay, Uncle?

Mm.

Lili,

what's your major?

Automation.

How about this?

You and my uncle may wait in the car.

It's scorching hot outside.

Let me go check where

you need to register.

It's fine.

I can go by myself.

You're not familiar with the campus.

It'll be more trouble

if you get lost.

I'm off, Uncle.

Thanks.

Bye-bye.

Thank you for giving us a lift...

Uncle.

Mm.

I've actually been looking for

an internship recently.

Xia and Tangy

helped me pick a few,

but I'm still not sure

which one to send my resume to.

Could you help me take a look?

Mm.

Why did I bring this up?

I should've just asked him if he

minds me going to EAW.

That would be much easier!

If...

EAW

suits you better.

Here.

Thank you.

Senior, senior...

May I add you on WeChat?

Thank you, senior.

Playboy.

The road is so wide.

Are you blind?

Keep your eyes on the road,

not on pretty girls.

What nonsense is she talking about?

How baffling.

It's scorching hot.

I'm back.

Did you find the registration place?

It's right by the East Gate.

It's crazy hot out there.

Good thing Lili got to stay here.

Lili.

Why is your face so red?

Is it?

Maybe it's t-too hot.

That's true.

It's super hot.

I was only out for 10 minutes,

and I almost "melted."

Buckle up.

It's packed with people

registering at this time.

We should have come in another time slot.

Mm.

And it's really hot today.

Are you feeling hot?

Mm.

Did Fu Shize drive you over?

Mm.

Why are you

like a "mm" machine today?

You just reply with "mm" to whatever I say.

Maybe because someone

kept saying "mm" to me,

I picked up this habit, too.

"Mm."

You mean Fu Shize, right?

Mm.

People subconsciously

imitate the ones they like.

In psychology,

this is called mirroring.

It just kind of

bothers me.

No matter what I say to him,

he just responds with "mm."

Then I don't know

how to keep the conversation going.

It's especially true for me.

Isn't that great?

You can ask him directly

if he can be your boyfriend.

He'll say, "Mm."

You ask to borrow a million from him,

and he'll still say, "Mm."

That's right.

Crack the hard nut with another hard nut.

Let's go.

Mm.

Hello, welcome.

Hello, welcome.

I've seen you waiting here for a long time.

Are you waiting for the rain to stop?

This rain won't stop

anytime soon, I think.

Take this umbrella.

But what about you?

It'll still be a while before I get off work.

Hopefully, the rain will stop by then.

It's fine.

You can return it to me another time.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Senior,

does our advisor

not usually hold group meetings?

Group meetings?

You want to meet Mr. Zhang?

Then you should email him early.

Otherwise,

you'll never see him in this lifetime.

Remember to send a few more,

or he probably won't reply.

2D planar rotation matrix.

What is a matrix?

On the surface,

a matrix is numbers arranged in a rectangular array...

Yun Li.

Lili!

But from a geometric perspective...

Come out.

You should remember this—

a matrix is a change of coordinates.

In a coordinate system,

all operations involve...

Why did you come in?

Be it translating a point

or rotating an object...

Let's have lunch together today.

Our club has recruited new members.

The seniors

invited us to have lunch together.

You can come and get to know them.

I'm not going.

I can't go.

There are way too many people. I...

I'm not going.

Go join us.

Nope.

You look so busy.

Yeah.

So,

you should go have lunch first.

Your club won't do without you.

Go, go ahead.

Then remember to come if you're free this afternoon.

I'll give it some thought.

Make sure you come.

I'm off.

Hello.

Lili,

are you at school?

Fu-Fu Zhengchu?

It's the club fair today.

Come and have fun at our booth.

Why are you using

your uncle's phone?

My phone is dead.

My uncle came to help,

so I used his phone.

Come over first.

Let's chat when you get here.

He came to our school?

[Club Fair]

Hello, miss,

check out the mountaineering club.

No, thanks.

Please take it.

If you change your mind,

you can join our club

anytime.

Lili!

Over here!

Forget about these.

Check out ours.

Our skateboard club

is one

of the few outdoor clubs in our school.

And check out

all the sponsorships here.

I, the president, got them all by myself.

Isn't that awesome?

With this flyer,

you get a 20% discount

at EAW.

You're taking advantage of your relative,

aren't you?

What do you mean by "taking advantage"?

Look carefully.

This is called a commercial collaboration.

Senior, can we sign up?

Fill out a form first.

Okay.

Lili,

let me take you

to say hi to my uncle.

Don't bother.

No need to disturb him.

See? My uncle may be

a bit cold usually,

but he is still very popular with girls.

This is already

the fifth one today.

Hey!

Over here...

Senior,

what is this device for?

VR experience.

Can I try it?

You can register over there first.

Congratulations to Unique

on winning the national championship!

I'd like to interview the captain,

Fu Shize.

The national championship trophy

is once again engraved

with Unique's

crescent-shaped emblem.

I heard you designed

this team emblem yourself.

Does it have any special meaning?

The crescent represents renewal and hope,

guiding us to break through the darkness

and bravely venture into the unknown.

Lili.

Is there anything you like?

Pick whatever you like.

Lili!

What's wrong?

Why isn't this

the logo

of EAW?

Oh, you mean this.

My uncle had a team

back in college.

It's their old merchandise,

kept at home

for a long time.

So I brought it here to use as a prize.

Pick a power bank.

It's our most expensive item today.

Is that really okay?

Don't be shy.

They're

all sponsored by EAW.

Here you are, the flyers.

Do I have to hand out all of them?

Isn't it stated in the contract?

There are still too many of them.

EAW only sponsored

this little.

I don't think this will do.

Uncle,

don't you think so?

No, I don't.

Why?

I'm not the one to hand them out.

You...

I can help hand them out.

Uncle,

look,

this is

the difference between you and Lili.

Uncle,

why are you not helping me hand them out?

This is the difference between you two.

Fu Shize?

I didn't expect to run into you here.

What brings you to Nanwu?

My cousin got admitted to NUST.

I brought him out to walk around

and relax a bit.

Come on, take a look...

Who is this girl?

She seems to be Fu Shize's acquaintance.

How are you

doing lately?

I'm good.

What about you?

Glad to know that.

Fu Zhengchu.

What's wrong, Lili?

Is that your uncle's

girlfriend?

He's never dated anyone.

How could he have a girlfriend?

Lili,

you hand them out here,

and I'll go over there.

Then should I

take the initiative to make the first move?

I won a prize!

This way.

I want this canvas bag.

Have some water.

I wasn't asking you to help me...

Thank you.

Make your choice.

We have power banks,

bottles,

and canvas bags.

I want a canvas bag.

This is the last one.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

The skateboard club is recruiting!

Here you are.

Isn't this what you want?

Thank you.

Don't you feel bad

letting your uncle line up there alone?

How about we go line up with him?

It's fine.

My uncle is experienced in lining up.

Whenever we hung out before,

my uncle was the one

who queued up and paid the bills.

Lili, you know what?

When we were little,

as long as my sister and I

called him Uncle,

we basically got whatever we wanted.

He treats us younger generation

really well.

Lili.

Are you from Xifu?

Yes.

I lived in Xifu

until I started my master's.

Then you must be a straight-A student at XUST.

Nope.

I'm just an undergraduate

from a regular first-tier university in Xifu.

Then why didn't you apply to XUST?

I wanted to,

but I didn't get in.

Not everyone can get admitted to it.

That's true.

My uncle is no ordinary person.

You're from XUST?

Lili,

you don't know that?

My uncle is not only from XUST

but also the youngest top scorer

in the college entrance exam in the history of Nanwu.

He was a few years

younger than his classmates.

Uncle,

where are you going?

He's getting shy.

Lili,

you have no idea

how hateful my uncle used to be.

When I was little,

I was too scared to go to school.

My uncle told me that

since we were in the same school,

he would go to school with me every day

and protect me.

And I believed

what he said.

But in the end,

he only accompanied me for 2 months,

and then he...

He skipped a grade.

Yes.

Lili.

How do you know?

Didn't you just say that

he was younger than his classmates?

My uncle did his bachelor's,

master's, and PhD all at XUST.

If he hadn't taken a leave of absence,

he would have finished his PhD by now.

A leave of absence?

A gap year—

isn't it popular now?

Anyway, he's in no rush.

He started school earlier than others.

If he goes back now,

he might even run

into his old classmates.

Fu Zhengchu,

I have a question.

Did you and your uncle

use to chat

the way we do?

Yes, of course.

But my uncle

used to be more talkative.

Now...

he's changed a bit.

Uncle,

you're back.

Thank you.

My uncle did his bachelor's,

master's, and PhD all at XUST.

If he hadn't taken a leave of absence,

he would have finished his PhD by now.

What exactly happened

during his 2-year leave of absence?

Why did he

change so greatly?

Lili.

Why are you studying at the library even on a Saturday?

There are fewer people on Saturdays.

Look,

the weather is so nice out there.

It's a waste of youth to stay here.

Then let me waste it.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Look at your little face

and your complexion.

You should hang out more

to bask in the sun.

Forget about it.

I still have to stay strong and work independently.

Otherwise, my 3 years of graduate school

will end up like medical school.

You know what?

I finally met

my graduate advisor the other day.

Then I asked him,

"Do you have any advice

on my research focus?"

And he said...

Your proposal is quite impressive.

I happen to have a college classmate

who is a professor overseas.

If you're interested,

I can recommend you

for his lab to study there for a while.

Then what about my thesis?

You can write your thesis abroad,

then translate it into Chinese,

and mail it back.

I thought,

such a nice exchange student opportunity that fell on me

must be

a short-term one,

lasting about half a year or so.

But guess what he said?

What did he say?

"Why don't you stay for 3 full years

before coming back?"

What kind of advisor is that?

I can't believe it.

Guess

I have to find my own way out over the next 3 years.

Yun Ye?

Hello?

Hello, Li.

Emergency.

Can you lend me some money?

You're asking me for money?

Did you forget that my money

was all withheld by Dad?

I even have

to find an internship to make money now.

I don't care about that.

Dad cut my allowance

in half

because I spoke up for you.

You know what?

A few days ago,

he was going to rush to Nanwu

and get you back.

Fortunately, I stepped in quickly

and stopped him.

Now I'm out of money.

Shouldn't you

compensate me a bit?

Your dad is way too ruthless.

Anyway, just transfer 200 yuan to me first.

When I

get paid from my part-time job,

I'll pay you back.

Hold on.

You're doing a part-time job?

As a high school sophomore, how can you

work part-time instead of studying?

What about your college entrance exam?

Uncle's convenience store is short-staffed.

I just come and help out occasionally

to earn some pocket money.

Don't worry too much.

Just transfer the money first.

Fine,

I'll transfer 200 yuan to you,

but stop working part-time.

I'll think about it.

Yun Ye...

He's doing a part-time job.

Didn't your dad

push Yun Ye into this?

You two siblings are

really like a beggar and a panhandler.

Where do you plan

to get your part-time job next?

I'm going to EAW.

That's right!

Working in EAW

will give you an advantage

in getting your "moon"

very soon.

A harvest in both career and love.

I haven't even gotten closer to him yet.

What's there to get?

You can do it!

Stop talking nonsense.

Speaking of career, here comes a call.

Answer it quickly.

Hello, Jiameng.

Yun Li,

we received your resume.

Are you available for an interview?

Yes, I'm available.

Okay,

we will send you

a text notification shortly.

See you then.

Okay.

[Yun Li] [Skills & Expertise]

Yun Li, right?

You've been

well-prepared.

But your profile indicates that you're

just in your first year of grad school.

What made you decide

to apply for an internship here?

Because...

Because the automation major

requires not only theoretical knowledge

but also practical experience.

So I'd like to intern early

and apply what I've learned.

Yun Li, right?

Have you had

any relevant internships before?

No.

Our engineering department

is full of graduates from top universities.

Your undergraduate school is just average.

Do you have any special skills?

My undergraduate degree may be average,

but if

you could give me a chance...

This is not a school.

Also,

I've been talking to you,

and you haven't stopped fidgeting.

Don't you think you're a bit disrespectful?

Sir,

you got me wrong.

I didn't mean to disrespect you.

Please let me finish.

Besides being a student,

I am also a tech DIY content creator

on EAW.

I have done many reviews and tests

on digital products.

So I can not only understand developers' thinking

from a professional perspective

but also provide objective takes

from the average user's point of view.

I think this is my value.

Your value

sounds too illusory.

Alright,

Yun Li,

that's all for today's interview.

We will notify you if there are any updates.

I guess I failed the interview.

Handsome,

may I add you on WeChat?

Nope.

Ms. Idle Crowd?

Ms. Idle Crowd!

I'm calling you. Come over here.

Come on.

Ms. Idle Crowd,

didn't you just ask me to help you

get this handsome guy's WeChat?

He thought I wanted it.

It made me so embarrassed.

You want it?

Yeah.

She was just too shy

to tell you herself.

Didn't I already give it to you?

So you already asked for it?

This is a mess.

If you need anything,

you can just come to me directly.

I'll take my leave.

So you two already knew each other.

Kind of.

Then you should have told me earlier.

And I definitely wouldn't

have done such a thing.

It made me quite embarrassed, too.

Forget it.

However,

when did you ask for his WeChat?

Ms. Idle Crowd,

I didn't know

you had it in you.

It's not what you think.

No worries,

I'm not going to fight you for him.

This kind of poor...

This kind of incompetent maintenance technician

is not appealing to me.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you see

the dust all over his hands?

I once thought,

as Mr. Xu's friend,

he would at least be part of management.

But judging from this,

they don't seem to be on very good terms.

You're quite a catch, huh?

I...

I guess I'm not bad.

You're such a catch,

but he still didn't give you his WeChat.

That's because...

Seems like he

has no interest in you.

So how outstanding he is,

what kind of person he is,

and how much he earns

have nothing to do with you.

Also, I'm Idle Cloud Tick-Tock,

not Idle Crowd.

She's quite fierce.

Hello, Mom.

Lili.

Are you busy now?

How are you settling in over there?

Living there alone,

you must take good care of yourself.

I'm doing quite well, Mom.

Nothing bad happened.

Okay.

I heard from your brother that

you're looking for an internship.

How is it going?

Is it going smoothly?

I just finished an interview.

I don't know if they

want me or not yet.

It doesn't matter if they want you or not.

Right now, for you,

what matters most is to gain experience.

If you feel unhappy out there,

just come back home.

Don't push yourself too much.

I got it.

She's already so introverted.

She barely talks

when she's out.

With her ear like that,

she should just stay at home.

It's best for her to stay by our side!

Being alone out there,

if she gets bullied,

no one will even have her back!

Dad.

Do you know why

I don't like wearing a hearing aid?

Because I want to be a normal person.

And I am a normal person.

I just can't hear

in one ear. That's all.

No one will bully me

or look down on me

just because

I'm deaf in one ear!

And I've never seen it

as a problem myself all these years.

I don't feel like

it has ever affected my life

or become a burden to me.

Why do you

keep reminding me over and over again?

Even if someone

bullies me now,

I'm capable

of fighting back

and protecting myself.

I can just do fine on my own.

Wait, what do you mean?

Hey,

is it wrong for me to care about you?

How could you

have grown up safely without me?

And now you're telling me

you can do fine on your own?

I didn't put it that way.

You didn't,

but you thought it that way!

Buy a plane ticket and come back.

I'm not going back.

Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up.

Lili.

You... You know

your dad didn't mean that.

That's enough.

Just don't come back if you don't want to.

Fine, I won't go back!

My car has arrived.

I'm hanging up.

[Steal A Moment To Sip Wine Guesthouse]

Lili, you're back.

Why are you soaking wet?

Dry yourself quickly.

Thank you.

Just call me if you forget

your umbrella next time,

and I'll pick you up.

That's too much trouble.

What trouble?

We are friends.

Don't say things like that anymore.

Have some warm water quickly.

Thank you.

Didn't you

go to EAW

for an interview today?

How did it go? Did you get the job?

I don't know yet.

What do you mean you don't know?

I'll call and ask for you.

No, don't bother.

I'll just wait for the notice.

I'm going back to my room.

Yun Li,

you can't even

get into EAW,

and you still want to get closer to him?

Hello?

This is Fang Yuning from EAW speaking.

Hello, Ms. Fang.

For the job you interviewed for,

we've already found

a suitable candidate.

I-I see.

Thank you.

However,

the publicity department is still short-staffed.

Would you like to give it a try?

The publicity department?

I watched the store-review videos

you posted on EAW.

They are well shot

with many details.

I think you are quite suitable for it.

Although it's not the job

you initially interviewed for,

would you consider it?

I don't need any more consideration.

I want to give it a try.

Thank you.

Xia.

Thank you.

You are so nice.

What happened?

What are you thanking me for?

Uncle.

And thank you, too.
