[When I Meet The Moon]

[Episode 12]

I thought about it all night back home.

I've decided to think it over again

before deciding whether to give up.

Didn't expect Yun Li

to be this kind of person.

This is surprising.

I can't see Yun Li doing something like that.

She's not the way people online make her out to be.

What are you guys talking about?

Sounds lively.

Nothing.

Just some work stuff.

Let me see.

Anyway, the process has reached your stage now.

Look.

Alright.

How about you approve it first?

I'll wrap it up

and show you this afternoon.

Okay,

I'll go talk to the manager

about this again.

Okay.

Did you see that photo taken at our company?

That's her?

[Famous content creator Idle Cloud Tick-Tock played dirty for promotion—]

[she seduced the boss's relative and engaged in workplace bullying.]

No way.

I think she makes good videos.

Can't believe she's this kind of person.

What the heck?

Can they ban

this kind of

toxic content creator?

You used despicable means to climb up the ladder,

and now you're hiding?

Morally corrupt and despicable.

You reap what you sow.

Apologize for your mistakes.

You resorted to any means necessary to get ahead

and bullied others.

You don't deserve to be a content creator!

Who would like someone like this?

No wonder she's always

coming around here.

Turns out she comes for Shize.

Isn't it obvious?

She's been bringing him

breakfast several days straight.

Ms. Fang.

Thank you.

What is it that

we couldn't talk about at the office

and had to meet here?

The online rumors about me

have caused quite a stir at the office.

It's had a negative impact

on the company.

I'm very sorry for that.

I...

I'll give you a week off.

Go back and get some good rest.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Fang.

Yun Li,

our company won't let

these rumors spread unchecked.

We trust you.

Being misunderstood

is just part of working life.

You need to get used to it.

We can't control

what others think,

so try

to manage your own emotions.

As the saying goes,

don't let words you can't see

bring down the life you're living.

I'm sharing it with you today.

Thank you, Ms. Fang.

Mind your step.

I'm okay.

Welcome.

What are you doing here?

I'm interning here.

Shize,

hello.

Yuan,

long time no see.

"Long time no see"?

Has it been a long time since we last saw each other?

Nope.

It's just that I'm

so happy to see you.

I'm very happy, too.

If anything makes you happy

or bothers you,

feel free to share it with me.

I'm always here to answer your questions.

The best thing

that's happened to me recently

is that I met

a really nice girl.

I'm truly happy for you.

Is "really nice" just pure admiration,

or does it make you imagine

what might be possible between you two?

I dare not imagine it.

Why?

In my current state, I am...

not the right person for her.

I'll only hurt her.

I don't want to hold her back either.

If you feel that

you've run into a problem,

try looking at it

from a different perspective

and see if you can make a change.

But I...

If you've run into...

into a problem...

If you feel that you've run into a problem,

you... you... you...

try looking...

if you can make a change...

Try looking at... make a change...

Make a change...

Yuan?

Yuan?

"Change"?

Who is the lunatic

talking

such nonsense?

Aren't they afraid of karma?

And those netizens, too.

We should fire back

at every single one of them.

Lili,

netizens just believe whatever they hear.

Don't take it to heart.

I also told Qingsong

to look into it at the company

and see who on earth

is behind all this.

Tangy,

take

the next couple of days off

and spend more time with Lili.

You're working at the guesthouse now?

I didn't have a chance to tell you.

Lili,

I agree with Xia.

Take a couple of days off,

and I'll take you out to help you relax.

In your current state,

you probably can't work anyway.

I've already asked for leave.

I plan to go back to Xifu for a few days.

You're going back to Xifu?

It's good to go back.

You haven't

been home for a long time, right?

But even so,

what if your dad keeps you in Xifu

and doesn't let you come back?

He won't.

Don't worry.

I'm...

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I'm going to take a call.

So you're leaving tomorrow.

Have you told Fu Shize?

Tell him what?

Tell him that you're going back to Xifu!

I'm going back to Xifu.

Come on, have a drink.

The view isn't even great.

What's got you so captivated?

It was really hard to find you.

You didn't answer calls,

so I had to text you.

What's wrong?

Upset?

Come on,

you bottle

everything up and don't tell anyone

what's bothering you.

How would anyone know if you don't tell them?

What brings you here?

I came to chat with you.

I have nothing to chat about.

But I have.

Have you heard about

the recent gossip at the office?

I knew it.

You're always so late to the online buzz.

How would you know?

I'm not interested in gossip.

What if it's about you and Yun Li?

Still not interested?

Here, check this out.

[Famous content creator Idle Cloud Tick-Tock played dirty for promotion—]

[she seduced the boss's relative and engaged in workplace bullying.]

Did you know that Yun Li

asked for leave?

I heard from Jiameng that

Yun Li has lost a lot of followers.

The content creators

who did store reviews with her before

have all stayed silent, too.

I think this must

have hurt her a lot.

I'll handle this matter.

Okay.

Are you upset

because of Yun Li?

Don't try to deny it.

Don't think I can't tell.

You two have made it

so obvious at the office.

Anyone can tell.

What's wrong?

It has nothing to do with you.

Fine, it has nothing to do with me.

How is it going

with your digital twin?

It can now appear on screen

and hold a conversation.

Really?

Well... Does that count as a success?

Nope.

The imaging is still unstable.

I still need to keep working on it.

Being able to generate an image

is already a huge breakthrough.

I believe

it won't take you long

to make it work.

Anyway, the Light Chaser

is already finished.

You can just focus

on your digital twin project.

By the way,

there's one more thing.

XUST recently established

a VR research lab.

They need to purchase a batch of devices,

so they've invited us to a bidding presentation.

Are you going?

I...

I'll think about it.

I never expected

Idle Cloud Tick-Tock to be this kind of person!

She did whatever it took to climb up the ladder

and bullied others at the office!

Sleeping your way to the top

is utterly shameful behavior!

She bullied others at work.

Her actions

are truly disgusting!

Unsubscribed.

Such a person

doesn't deserve fans' support at all!

Unsubscribed!

Does she even have a conscience?

I hope she pays

for her actions!

Lili,

it's your favorite ginger duck.

Have some more.

Li,

why did you come back all of a sudden?

I just finished my exams,

so I'm taking a few days off.

Didn't you keep calling

and asking me to come back?

That's true.

You've been away for so long

and didn't even come home.

And you didn't even call to tell us

that you were coming back.

Lili,

are you used to the food there?

Yes.

Our cafeteria serves all kinds of food.

It's very convenient.

Food is just one aspect.

Yes.

Well, are you used to living there?

Her place is really nice!

Even I want to go and rent a room there.

How is the school?

Are you getting along well with your teachers

and classmates?

Very well!

Isn't Tang Lin there?

Did anyone ask you?

How is your...

your internship

going?

Did anyone make things difficult for you?

No.

Really,

i-it's pretty good. Really nice.

I just missed home,

so I came back.

I missed Mom's cooking.

You can come back anytime you miss home!

Now you know home is better, huh?

I think you should just

stay in Xifu since you're back this time.

Just settle in and take it easy.

Listen...

Your dad means that

it's inevitable

to feel uncomfortable sometimes when you are away from home.

But home

will always be your safe haven.

I see that you're unhappy

studying in Nanwu.

Why don't you come back

and take the postgraduate exam in Xifu again?

Don't you really like XUST?

Dear,

give this ginger duck

a try.

See if I cooked it well today.

Hello, Tangy.

Are you home, Lili?

Yes, I'm home.

I've already finished lunch.

Did your dad scold you?

Isn't he always like that?

How is it? Are your legs still intact?

What's wrong with my legs?

Didn't your dad claim

that he'd break your legs when you got home?

They're intact.

I can still jump around.

There doesn't seem to be any big problem.

I can rest easy now.

Call me if you need anything.

I'm hanging up.

Bye-bye.

She just used her beauty to climb up the ladder.

How shameless.

Is this person...

How rude!

Idle Cloud is beautiful as she is!

You're slacking off at work and playing on your phone?

None of your business.

You're not the boss.

Go jump in the lake.

Then who am I?

Fu Zhengchu.

Who is my sister?

Xia Congsheng.

Exactly!

She's my sister, and I'm her brother.

What's hers is mine.

You two don't even share the same family name!

So what?

She is my biological sister.

You...

A gentleman doesn't fight a woman.

Can you show even a little respect?

I'm older than you!

Whatever.

With your broken leg,

you're still messing around.

Who else would break a leg if not you?

Serves you right.

The doctor said I could

get this cast off

in just a few days.

And then,

I'll be a man as free as the wind again.

Or as free as a lunatic.

Lili is away.

Are you bored?

Lili's only gone back home for a few days.

It's not like she's not coming back.

She's pretty, and that's why she seduces people.

So

Lili went back to Xifu because of what

happened online?

What else could it be?

I thought

she had a fight with my uncle.

They are doing just fine.

How do you know?

I am omniscient.

Seriously, how can

these netizens be so brainless?

They believe whatever others say!

I really hate this kind of cyberbullying.

They made things up

and twisted the truth.

No way.

I'm going to ask my uncle about it.

Oh, my God.

Zhengchu.

Uncle.

Perfect timing.

I need to talk to you.

It's about Lili, right?

Yes.

Now we need

to find out

who is behind all this.

I checked

some related information online

and found that this person probably has

multiple alt accounts.

But, Uncle,

people who spread rumors online like this

are bound

to cover their tracks.

How about

I get someone to track them down?

I have a few friends

who are pros in this area.

If we can find

the connections between the accounts

and pinpoint

their IP addresses

as well as posting times,

we should be able to narrow it down.

If that doesn't work,

we can investigate

their relationship with EAW.

Uncle,

you mean

it has something to do with people in the company?

Just do as I said for now.

Okay.

You can rest assured

leaving this to me.

Those friends of mine

owe me a big favor.

If I ask them for help, they'll

definitely handle it.

But, Uncle,

have you thought about going to check in on Lili?

She must've been very sad the past few days.

Hello, Li.

It's dinner time.

Why are you still not back for dinner?

I'm working part-time.

Working part-time?

How many times have I told you

to focus on your studies?

I know. I got it.

Li,

please don't tell Dad.

Send me your address now.

I'll go meet you.

I'm at work.

What are you coming to me for?

Just send it to me,

or I'll tell Mom and Dad.

No, please.

I'll send it! I'll send it!

Dear, dinner is ready.

Lili, time for dinner!

Mom,

I'm heading out for a bit.

You're heading out without even eating?

Your mom has already made dinner.

Why are you going out to eat?

Yun Ye is treating me to dinner.

They haven't hung out alone

for quite a while.

Just go ahead.

Thanks, Mom.

Do you have enough money?

Yes, he pays.

You're just spoiling her.

She'll grow up sooner or later.

Here you are, Yun Li.

Here, eat up.

What? Are you trying to bribe me?

Just take whatever

you want to eat.

It's rare for you to be so generous.

Too bad I don't have much of an appetite.

What's wrong?

Are you in a bad mood?

Nope.

I'm fine.

You're fine?

Then give me a smile.

Keep pulling a long face,

and you'll get wrinkles.

You also get them if you smile.

Never mind.

If you really can't smile,

just forget about it.

You look worse smiling than crying.

Pardon?

Li.

If there's something

you don't want to tell Mom and Dad,

you can keep it from them.

But you don't have to hide it from me.

Just tell me!

Which jerk is it?

I'll get revenge for you.

W-What are you talking about?

You can't fool me.

You must be having relationship problems.

I have sharp eyes.

Have you finished your homework?

Have you reviewed your lessons?

What was your score on the mock exam this time?

Li!

Look at the way you are.

I definitely hit the nail on the head.

Just tell me

which jerk

broke your heart!

Kid, don't be so gossipy.

No, no,

I'm not gossiping.

I'm worried about you!

Just tell me...

What are you looking at?

Brat, who is that?

Just a friend of mine.

Your friend?

Your friend is waiting for you outside?

There's nothing between us.

Ask no more.

This is fishy.

Tell me.

Come on.

That's my sister in the shop.

Yunyi?

Why didn't you go straight home after school?

What are you doing here?

I came to grab some stuff.

And this is...

This is my classmate, Yun Ye.

This is my brother, Yin Yucheng.

Hello.

Who is that?

Your classmate is

working part-time at a convenience store?

High school studies are so demanding.

How do you still have time to work part-time?

Didn't your family say anything about it?

Yun Ye!

Li.

Hello,

I'm Yun Ye's sister, Yun Li.

Hello.

I'm Yunyi's brother, Yin Yucheng.

Nice to meet you.

Yunyi just finished class.

I happened to pass by

and saw her at the convenience store,

so I came over to take a look.

Are Yunyi and Yun Ye

in the same class?

We're in the same school but different classes.

We just ran into each other

and met not long ago.

Yun Ye gets great grades.

Our teacher

praises him from time to time.

Yun Ye's sister,

would you mind

exchanging contact info?

It seems that Yunyi

has made a very nice friend.

We may as well add each other on WeChat

to make it easier to communicate in the future.

I'll scan your QR code.

Then I will leave you to it.

I'll take my leave.

Still staring?

They're already far away.

I wasn't staring.

You weren't staring? Your eyes

were literally glued to their car!

Yun Ye, I'm warning you.

No dating at your age.

I already told you there was

nothing between us.

We're just classmates.

There better be nothing.

Anyway, no dating at your age.

And no working, either.

Li.

Li, Li...

Li! Listen to me, Li.

Everything's settled

with my job in Nanwu.

Pack your things.

We're getting ready to go.

When?

In a couple of days.

I think Xifu is pretty good.

It'll surely

take you a while to get used to a new place.

But Nanwu definitely offers

much better education

and living conditions than Xifu.

You'll like it there.

You're going into your senior year.

You need to fully focus

on your studies.

Don't let anything else distract you.

Where are you going?

The library.

The library?

You're not going on a date?

Nope.

Not going to work part-time?

Nope.

For real?

Look at you, all dressed up in new clothes!

You even styled your hair, right?

I don't quite believe you.

Let me see if there are

books in your bag.

I told you I'm not going on a date.

Wait.

Stay still.

I won't run. I won't.

Hello, Jiameng.

What's up?

Sorry, Yun Li.

You're on leave,

and I'm still bothering you.

It's fine.

Just go ahead.

The company is sending someone

to Xifu to give a presentation.

The boss asked me to choose an assistant to go along.

I've asked several people,

but they either don't have time

or are afraid of the person in charge.

They all turned me down.

I really had no other choice

and had to turn to you.

Who is the person in charge?

Engineer Fu.

Are you available?

Don't worry!

You won't work for nothing.

Ms. Fang will record your attendance.

Please do me a favor.

I-I got it. Fine by me.

Thank you, Yun Li.

By the way,

the new VR equipment

we're bringing this time

also needs to be

filmed for the new game's promo clip.

Please arrange it. Thank you.

Grandma.

Are you tired?

Nope.

Let's sit and rest for a bit.

Okay.

Have something to eat.

Grandma.

Pineapple cake?

Your favorite pineapple cake.

How is it?

Any change in the taste?

Nope.

It tastes just as good.

The pineapple cake

has

a thick, crispy crust outside

and a soft filling

inside.

Isn't it just like some people?

Tough on the outside, soft on the inside.

Without

this crust

wrapping around the filling,

it wouldn't hold its shape.

A pineapple cake can't be all filling.

So we can't blame people

for wrapping themselves in a shell.

But if they do,

it must be because

they've been hurt before.

That's why they

hide their soft hearts.

That's just the way you are,

Shize.

Grandma?

Shize.

I'm clear-headed now.

I can feel that you're unhappy.

You know what?

A hard shell

sometimes

can protect you well.

But it can also hurt

those who truly want to get close to you.

I hope that you

can be yourself.

Go after what you want,

and say so when you like something.

Let's not beat around the bush.

All that going in circles

might make you

lose your good fortune.

When that happens,

it'll be too late to regret.

Grandma.

But I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Scared of being rejected,

or scared of

exposing your true feelings?

I'm scared...

I'm scared I'm not good enough.

That's just what you think,

Shize.

Don't leave yourself with regrets.

I see.

Look,

how time flies.

In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up

and gotten so tall.

You're busy all day long,

with no time

to spend with me.

Don't worry, Grandma.

I'll always be here with you.

I don't need you to be here with me.

I just want you to be happy

every day

and have someone by your side.

I'm long in the tooth,

and my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

I'm always forgetting

things.

You young people are different.

You have your own lives.

All I want is for you

to live

your life well.

You don't have to stay with me all day.

Grandma,

I want to stay with you.

Shize,

you're such a good boy.

It's about time.

Come on,

let's go back and eat.

Let's go.

Let's go.

It's so good.

Done.

Thank you. Have a good day.

Hello, welcome.

Yun Ye.

You'll have to work hard on your own next semester.

Why?

I'm transferring to another school.

Transferring? Where are you going?

Nanwu.

Nanwu?

When are you leaving then?

Tomorrow.

S-So soon?

Well, then...

Is this our last time

seeing each other?

It's fine.

Nanwu isn't that far away.

Anyway, remember to ask me

if you have any problems with English.

My English is pretty good.

Occasionally, there are some questions I'm not sure about.

I've got to go.

My brother is still waiting for me.

Then how do we stay in contact?

You can write me letters.

Write letters?

Don't let me find you.

How dare you bully Lili?

I'll tear you into pieces if I find you.

They're all alt accounts.

How can I find the person?

If that doesn't work,

we can investigate

their relationship with EAW.

People related...

to EAW.

Hello, Feifei.

Zhengchu,

do you want to come and hang out tonight?

We can celebrate your discharge from the hospital.

My foot hasn't fully healed yet.

I'll take a rain check.

Fine,

then let's hang out

when your leg is better.

Okay.

Feng Feifei?

Let's start with you.

This is great.

The one who planned this event

is so talented.

Eat all of this.

This is a large portion.

Are you feeding an army?

You are what you eat.

Just eat up.

Such nourishment

is too much.

People say

it takes 100 days to recover from a bone injury.

If you want to get better soon,

just eat it all.

From Nanwu to Xifu,

there are 4 flights a day.

How do I know

which flight he's taking?

The morning flight?

That's too early.

N-No way.

If I were him, I would take...

the noon flight.

But what if he just takes the morning flight?

Then I won't be able to pick him up.

Forget it.

It's only 5 hours.

The next flight is in 2 hours.

I'll wait.

I've already waited for 3 hours.

Jiameng must have told you.

I'll be the assistant for the presentation.

I'm here to pick you up today.

I...

I didn't tell her my flight number.

I-I parked my car over there.

Let's go.

You can rest in the passenger seat.

I'll drive.

Mm.

Are we going to the hotel?

Let's go to XUST first.

Is there any work

you need me to do?

I've got all the materials ready

for this presentation.

Please format the materials, design the cover,

and contact a print shop to have them printed and bound.

We need 100 copies in total.

Okay.

Is there anything else?

I'll get some sleep first.

Wake me up when we arrive.

Shize,

I hope that you

can be yourself.

Say so when you like something.

Let's not beat around the bush.

All that going in circles

might make you

lose your good fortune.

When that happens,

it'll be too late to regret.

Don't leave yourself with regrets.

We've reached XUST?

Mm.

I slept here for an hour?

Nope.

There was a traffic jam.

I'll get going then.

You may go straight home and rest.

It's inconvenient for you to carry your luggage.

Let me take it to the hotel for you.

Don't bother.

It's nothing.

I'll leave it at the front desk.

You can pick it up when you get there.

Go ahead.

Thank you.
