[When I Meet The Moon]

[Episode 21]

Kitty.

Kitty.

Come here.

Hi,

kitty.

You're letting me hold you?

Oh, you have yellow eyes!

Are you hungry?

Let me see.

So pretty.

You're so comfy, you've got your eyes closed.

Are you hungry?

I'll take you home and get you something to eat.

You're back.

Come on, time to eat.

It seems to know you

pretty well.

Do you come here to feed it often?

Yeah.

When did you two meet?

I first saw it

on a rainy day.

It just showed up out of nowhere.

What a coincidence.

Do you remember?

We first met

on a rainy day, too.

Can I take it home?

It has been free to roam outside

from the very beginning.

I feel like it'd be better off

staying out here.

Fair enough.

So, what's its name?

Kitty.

Who names a cat that?

Then

why don't you give her a name?

Me?

How

about Rainie?

We both met you

on rainy days.

I couldn't get to the second floor,

but I wiped down

the rest of the place.

W-What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

I-I shouldn't have taken the liberty.

From now on,

I'll take care of the cleaning and stuff myself.

I need to go back home after dinner

to pick something up.

Then I'll come back.

Okay.

Look at you,

rushing

to give yourself to him.

I am not.

Then why are you packing so fast?

You've practically emptied out your whole room.

Well, he invited me.

If I turned him down,

it'd seem

a little cold-hearted.

Cold-hearted?

I asked you to see a movie the week before last,

and you said no.

Then I invited you to hot pot last week,

and you turned me down again.

You've really

broken my heart.

I was studying for exams!

I didn't mean it.

All right, I'm just teasing you.

But seriously,

don't move all your stuff over there.

Leave yourself a way out.

In case you two

get into a fight someday,

you can always come back here.

It's better than ending up on the streets, right?

Exactly.

You're the sweetest.

You'll always be my safe haven.

Don't be mad.

Oh, and

if going back to campus

is too much trouble,

or you're too busy one day,

you can always stay here.

Fu Zhengchu said

the same thing today.

He asked me to move in with him,

but I turned him down.

Why?

Don't you like him?

I do,

but I feel like

moving in together is a big step,

and we shouldn't rush into it.

Think about it.

When two people are dating,

they always want to show each other

their best side.

But once they live together,

all those little flaws

become impossible to hide.

Little flaws?

Yeah.

Like,

I might get up in the morning

without brushing my teeth or washing my face,

with my hair all messy

me in sloppy clothes.

Or I might get too loud

when I'm gaming.

If he saw all that,

would he

be disappointed?

Would he realize

I'm not the Tang Lin

he imagined me to be?

Actually,

I have the same concerns.

That's why

it's a double-edged sword.

Living together can bring you closer,

but it also means

seeing each other

for who you really are,

imperfections and all.

We already have some at home, don't we?

Matching toothbrushes,

matching slippers,

matching pajamas.

What's wrong with that?

Hello?

Hey, Yun Li.

Hello.

My final exam results are out.

I ranked 6th in my grade.

S-So what?

Don't play dumb!

Didn't you promise me last time?

You said if my grades improved,

y-you'd book me a ticket to Nanwu.

No way.

And when did I

ever say that?

What I said last time

was that I didn't have the money.

Please, Li!

I already made plans with Shize.

He said I could borrow his drone.

I might as well go pick it up while I'm there.

You promised Yun Ye your drone?

Book him a ticket.

I'll pay for it.

Who are you talking to?

Are you with Shize?

No, I'm not.

Li,

thank Shize for me.

Tell him I love him.

I won't interrupt your date.

Bye! I'm hanging up now.

You're way too indulgent with him.

If he's someone you care about,

I'll care about him, too.

[Steal A Moment To Sip Wine Guesthouse]

It's only been 4 hours.

Miss me already?

Get lost.

Xia,

d-do you think

Fu Shize will

mistreat our Lili?

Don't worry.

People tend to cherish their first love.

First love never lasts!

Those two have to stay together forever,

till they're old and gray.

Tangy,

we should stay together forever, too,

till we're old and gray.

Stop being so cheesy.

Hey, Lili.

Tangy,

have you moved in yet?

Not yet.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'll be going back to stay

for a few days in a couple of days.

Did you two fight already?

Did you break up?

No,

my little brother is coming.

I don't want them to find out so soon.

So you're taking your relationship underground?

Think about it.

If my dad found out,

he'd come over

and tear me limb from limb!

Fair point.

Bye-bye.

Fu Zhengchu, I'm warning you.

Lili's little brother

is coming in a couple of days.

Keep your mouth shut

when he gets here.

Don't say anything stupid.

Relax.

I'm the best at keeping secrets.

Do you believe that?

Yun Li,

let me pick up Yun Ye when he gets here.

I have two movie tickets

for Saturday night.

Yunyi has tutoring that evening,

so it'd be a waste not to use them.

Then I'll ask Yun Ye

if he wants to go.

I've been wanting to see this movie.

Would you like to go with me?

What's wrong?

Yin Yucheng asked me to go to a movie with him.

And?

Let me text him back first.

Wait.

My boyfriend isn't comfortable with me

going out alone with another guy.

Sorry.

Yunyi,

did Yun Ye really tell you

his sister isn't seeing anyone?

Yeah.

Yucheng.

Is it possible

that Yun Ye just doesn't know

his sister is in a relationship?

Should I delete him

on WeChat?

Do it.

But Yun Ye and his sister

are really close.

If I just delete him like that,

won't I seem difficult

to get along with?

You're hesitating that much?

You deleted me without a second thought back then.

Y-You knew back then?

Then why didn't you say anything?

I agonized over it

for ages before deleting you.

I didn't want to, either.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Sorry,

I got the wrong idea.

At least he knows his place.

So, should I still delete him on WeChat?

No need.

You said you'd fly the drone with me.

Come fly with me after work, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Lili,

did you get it?

Yeah.

Your signature move,

the Cube Roll.

That's how

you won me over back then.

Remember the final

of the national competition?

You beat your opponent

with that move.

The whole crowd went wild,

and I was cheering right along with them.

Did you

keep competing after that?

Shize,

I often feel

like you're not

I'm sorry, Lili.

I...

I'm not ready to talk about it yet.

Can I tell you

when I'm ready?

It's okay.

I'll wait.

Nanwu is so beautiful!

Li, no wonder you don't want

to go back to Xifu.

I'll go to college here, too.

What are you talking about?

If you and I both move to Nanwu,

what about Dad and Mom?

They're not kids anymore.

They can take care of themselves.

Shize,

can I see

your drone first?

Sure.

Let's head back to the guesthouse first.

Shize is busy,

and he's already

going out of his way to pick you up today.

I'll bring the drone

over to you later.

But I want to see the drone first.

And I have so many questions to ask.

Didn't you want to go to the beach?

The weather's lovely.

Why don't I take you there?

What's so fun about the beach?

Shize is so busy,

and he finally has some free time.

I want to see the drone first.

Shize, please?

It's still early.

Let's take him home to see the drone first.

Thanks, Shize.

Take off your shoes and put on slippers.

Don't be rude.

It's fine. You don't have to take them off.

Take off your jacket.

Shize,

your house is huge!

Make yourself at home.

Okay.

Don't touch that.

Put it back.

Find somewhere to sit.

Yun Ye, what would you like to drink?

Anything's fine.

Thanks, Shize.

By the way,

where's your drone?

Can I go see it?

It's inside the room.

This room?

Yun Ye.

T-That room.

-Which room, Li? -This one.

This is so cool.

I said you could look, not mess with it.

You're dating someone and keeping it from me?

H-How did you find out?

How else?

You were treating me

like you were the lady of the house.

Grown-up business.

Kids should stay out of it.

Did you spend New Year's Eve with him, too?

So what if I did?

Oh, Yun Li,

you're so busted.

Not only are you dating someone,

you're living with him, too.

No wonder

you kept refusing to let me come to Nanwu.

You've got a man and forgotten your own brother!

Are you pointing at me?

Give me your phone.

What for?

Why do you want my phone?

Give me back my New Year's red envelope money.

In your dreams!

H-Hey, don't—

Give it back!

If you don't give it back to me,

I'll tell Dad.

Yun Ye, you...

Brother-in-law!

Brother-in-law, save me!

You...

Yun Ye!

Yun Li, you're way too violent.

Even

my brother-in-law acts more like a lady than you do.

You sure changed your tune fast.

Taking

your brother-in-law's side already?

Come on, he's tall, handsome,

and nice.

What about you?

What's wrong with me?

What's that look for?

But Yun Li,

what if

Dad finds out?

What are you going to do?

I'm old enough.

to date whoever I want.

Y-You'd better not tell him just yet.

Okay.

I can't let this go.

Call them

and tell them to come back.

What?

You're not gonna call?

Fine, I'll do it.

[Dad]

Does Dad

have a tracker installed on my phone or something?

Speak of the devil!

Li, please, please,

please help me out this once.

You came to Nanwu without telling Dad?

If I'd told him,

how would I have gotten here?

Please, Li,

help me out this once.

This is your problem.

I'm not helping you this time.

If you won't help me,

I'll tell Dad

you're dating someone.

All right, all right!

So that's how you're gonna play it, Yun Ye?

Fine.

Go ahead.

Let's go down together, then.

If I'm going down, you're coming with me.

Go ahead. Tell him!

Li, please, Li.

Come on, we're

in this together now.

Look,

you can't just throw me overboard

to feed the sharks!

Look, I'm still young.

I've got a whole workbook of wrong answers to take care of,

not to mention a virtual pet to feed.

Please, please, please!

Yun Ye, where have you been?

Why did it take you so long to answer?

Hello?

Yun Li?

Were you the one

who bought him a plane ticket to Nanwu?

So he went there to see you.

It's bad enough that you went to Nanwu on your own,

but now you've got your brother coming to join you?

What kind of sister are you?

He's on break, so he's just coming to stay with me for a few days.

I'll take good care of him.

He just got placed in the top class,

and he's about to start his final year of high school.

Do you have any idea how crucial

this time is for him?

He's got no time to go out

and have fun!

Tell him to get his butt back

here today!

My suitcase

is full of exam prep books.

I'm only staying for a few days.

Mom,

talk to Dad for me.

Otherwise, I'm not going back either.

Oh, so now

that you've gotten yourself into trouble,

you go running to someone for backup?

It's not gonna work!

Tell me,

did you learn this

from your sister?

Going behind my back and doing whatever you want first, then telling me afterward!

Lili,

your brother's never been to Nanwu before.

It's good for him to go and have some fun

for a few days.

Take good care of him.

Yun Ye,

listen to your sister while you're there,

and have fun.

You two can come back together

before the New Year.

I-I wasn't finished!

Why'd you hang up?

Did Mom really manage to talk Dad around?

No idea.

Whatever.

At least we got through today.

But with Dad's hair-trigger temper,

this can't go on forever.

I can already see

my future.

Am I gonna end up just like you?

I'm warning you.

Watch yourself.

When you get back,

focus on your studies

and don't make Dad angry.

Otherwise, he'll cut you off

financially again.

You're one to talk.

If Dad finds out

you're dating a guy in Nanwu,

he might even fly here

to break your legs.

Li, how much are you making these days

from your content creation

and internship?

Why do you ask?

You should save up more.

If Dad finds out,

he'll kick you out.

Would you stop

giving me

ridiculous advice?

Have some fruit.

Okay.

You two chat.

I'll go have some fruit.

There's more on the dining table.

Okay, thanks, bro-in-law.

"Bro-in-law"?

What are you two talking about?

You heard all that?

Heard what?

Fu Shize,

I haven't told my family

about us dating.

My dad has a bad temper

and is really controlling.

You might want

to prepare yourself for that.

M-My dad

is pretty great in other ways.

He just doesn't really know

how to love his own kids.

I'm not

dating your dad.

Do you want me to meet him?

No...

I just wanted to give you a heads-up.

My dad's

really controlling,

and I can't win an argument with him.

And about my family...

My parents only graduated from vocational school.

I'm still just an intern,

but I can support myself now.

Things will be even better

once I graduate and get a full-time job.

Lili,

all I care about

is the kind of person you are.

We'll face

whatever comes our way together.

Nothing else

matters.

Yunyi.

Have you been waiting here long?

Where's your sister?

She dropped me off nearby with Shize,

then left.

What about your brother?

He went home too.

Your brother knows what's up.

What?

Nothing.

I think my brother

was just worried things would get awkward.

The view from up here is beautiful.

Can you tell me

your zodiac sign now?

Find it on the star chart.

It's right next to Sagittarius.

Okay.

Sagittarius...

He's holding a bow and arrow.

The direction his arrow points

is where my zodiac sign is.

Let's see...

Scorpio!

By the way, Yun Ye,

there's something I wanted to ask you.

I think those postcards

my classmates wrote me

were all in the same handwriting,

but I couldn't tell whose it was.

Do you know?

I'll go ask around your class

for you.

Okay.

I have a gift for you.

Thanks.

[To: Yun Ye] [From: Class 15 of Grade 11]

Open it when you get back.

Okay.

What did you rank in the final exams?

Sixth in the grade.

What about you?

Tenth in the grade.

I really feel bad for your classmates.

You're not even taking the national college entrance exam,

and you're still so competitive.

Who says I'm not taking the national college entrance exam?

Aren't you going abroad to study?

I've made up my mind.

I'm staying in China.

Why?

I guess I don't really like

the environment abroad that much.

Are you worried you won't adjust?

Phones and delivery services

are so advanced these days.

It's really convenient.

You can still

get Chinese food overseas.

You can make

plenty of Chinese friends, too,

and even watch the Spring Festival Gala live.

But

they don't have...

Don't have what?

Are you worried they don't have QR code payments?

No, that's not it.

Then what do we have here

that they don't have over there?

You're so dense.

If you're not going abroad,

won't your brother be furious?

I'm grown up now.

I've always done what my family wanted.

This time, I want to be brave and make my own choice.

I'm with you!

Which university do you want to apply to?

I can help you figure it out.

I really like Xifu.

I want to go to XUST.

XUST is a great university!

I like XUST, too.

[Steal A Moment To Sip Wine Guesthouse]

Why's it so quiet today?

Did everyone go on dates?

Even the flies are flying off in pairs.

Since it's so quiet today,

let's go out and have some fun.

A movie?

KTV?

Boring.

Got any other ideas?

How about ice skating?

How's that any different

from your usual skateboarding?

Am I just gonna sit there

and watch you show off?

Good point.

How about camping?

We could fish,

and if we catch anything, I could grill it for you.

Then you can see

what Chef Fu can do on the grill.

Camping?

We'd have to stay overnight?

Of course. Going there and coming back

the same day would be so boring.

That'd defeat the whole point of camping.

In one tent?

No way.

Why not?

I don't want to give you a chance to make a move on me.

How is that making a move on you?

Look,

camping out in the wilderness can be dangerous.

We'd have to share a tent

for me to keep you safe

out there.

So what do you say we do instead?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're making me nervous.

So what did she give you

in the end?

I don't know.

But I wanna wait until I'm back in Xifu to open it.

It'll feel more special that way.

But listen,

the wrapping on her gift

was exactly the same as the one I used for hers.

So you finally admit

it wasn't the whole class

who made those postcards together?

Look at you,

all smug and pleased with yourself!

Tone it down a little.

There's something else I wanna tell you.

Yunyi knows

I was the one who wrote all those postcards.

You know what that means?

She didn't stop me.

She didn't stop you?

You're really getting in

one last daydream before nightfall.

What do you mean, before nightfall?

What's wrong with dreaming at night?

Because then it's just a dream, not a daydream.

Look at you, getting all worked up!

Did I hit a nerve?

What nerve? You trying to get under my skin?

-Someone's jealous! -What's wrong with daytime, huh?

You and your—

You're definitely triggered.

Don't smash my eggs!

You keep picking up these phrases

and using them on your own sister.

Wait, it's just the two of us today?

Shize is browsing the fresh food section.

I didn't even tell him

we were here.

Here, take this.

I'll get it.

Why is it all Shanghai bok choy?

Hello?

Where are you now?

I'm in the produce section.

I'll be over in a bit.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm in the produce section.

I'll be over in a bit.

Bye-bye."

Yun Li, can you use a normal tone of voice?

I wasn't talking to you.

If you don't like it,

go somewhere else.

Putting you man before your brother!

Since you've got my brother-in-law to shop with,

I'm off to buy some chips.

Bye-bye.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Let's go together in a bit.

Better not.

I need to save room before dinner.

I don't want to fill up on your lovey-dovey stuff.

Don't wander off.

We're leaving soon.

Okay.

Here, the meat's ready.

I've still got some left in my bowl.

Don't just stare at your phone.

Eat.

Li, you did that on purpose, didn't you?

Well, that's what you get for not eating properly.

What have you been looking at all night?

Zodiac compatibility?

Did you know

Scorpio and Cancer

are a match made in heaven?

Since when did you

get into astrology?

I'm telling you,

kids shouldn't be looking at this stuff so much.

You just don't get it.

This is astronomy.

Li,

do you know what signs we are?

Us?

Do I really need to check?

I've had you under my thumb

your whole life.

You...

Um,

what about Pisces and Aquarius?

Pisces...

Shize,

y-you believe in zodiac signs too?

I just wanna know more about them.

Let me check.

Pisces and Aquarius...

T-This kind of app

is all nonsense.

They just make stuff up to get people to download them.

D-Don't bother checking, Yun Ye.

It's just for fun.

Your birthday's coming up.

His birthday falls on Lunar New Year's Eve.

Wow, Shize, you were born with fireworks going off!

No wonder you're such a star.

Well, happy birthday

in advance.

Thanks.

But since it's Lunar New Year's Eve,

my sister can only

wish you a happy birthday in advance, too.

It's okay.

Being with family is more important.

Li, have you

booked your ticket yet?

Not yet.

Then... then let me check for you.

Maybe I should...

I think you should go home after all.

It's been so long since you've been back.

You should spend more time with your family.

Li,

you need to look for tickets early.

It's almost Chinese New Year,

and everyone's trying to get tickets.

This one's cooked.

They're all cooked, right?

Who goes hiking on Lunar New Year's Eve?

I can't do this anymore.

I can't take another step!

You look

so big and strong,

but you're so out of shape.

What a wimp!

Come on, ma'am.

Skateboarding takes skill,

not that much stamina.

What did you just call me?

You looking for trouble?

I-I said miss.

You heard me wrong.

That's not what I meant.

Can you even make it or not?

Let's go!

I can't do it anymore.

I really can't!

There's ice-cold cola

and grilled sausages waiting for you at the top.

Keep pushing!

Have mercy on me.

I had no idea Nanwu

had such a beautiful spot!

There's a lot you haven't seen yet.

When we get the chance,

I'll show you all of them.

Didn't you say

all this stuff was fake?

Why are you still checking?

I'm bored.

I-I'm just doing it for fun.

Yun Li,

I get the feeling something's on your mind.

I'm fine.

Why are you just standing there?

Give me a hand!

What are you looking at?

I'm messaging YY.

Who's YY?

Have you met another girl?

No!

It's Yin Yunyi.

YY

are her initials.

What are you sending her?

Just a "1."

I'm worried her parents might check her phone,

so I send her a "1" in the morning and another at night

as a way of saying good morning and good night.

You're something else.

Then

why does it take you so long just to send a "1"?

It's Chinese New Year today,

so I sent one extra "1."

Yun Ye,

c-can I ask you something?

When you're with Yunyi,

do you ever feel inferior?

Inferior?

She's so much prettier than you.

Yun Li,

I am so handsome.

How could I possibly not be good enough for her?

What's wrong?

I want to celebrate his birthday with him.

It's his first birthday since we got together,

after all.

Isn't it because of Chinese New Year?

We could've celebrated early,

or even on his actual birthday.

But he just assumed

I'd come home.

He didn't even try to get me to stay.

I guess I was a little disappointed.

Don't overthink it.

Some people

stop caring about birthdays

once they're adults.

After all, it means they're a year older.

Maybe he's just like that

and doesn't want to celebrate.

I don't know.

I just feel like there's so much distance between us.

There are so many things he hasn't told me.
