[Please Love Me]

[Episode 19]

Even if you yell at me, I still have to say it. I quit!

There's no way I can work with someone who has flawed integrity.

Aren't there other films that want me? Take them all! I will go to the film set directly tomorrow.

It looks like Brother Tian'nuo is going to succeed.

What did you say?

Nothing!

Shouldn't you explain to me why you asked Lin Tian'nuo to our house today?

I didn't ask him, he asked me.

Hubby, think it over. If I asked him, I would have ask him to meet outside. Why would I have him come to our house, right?

Don't let anger cloud your rationale.

That's reasonable! You're innocent because you don't know anything.

- Of course. - So this Li Tian'nuo is the problem! His moral standing is definitely a problem!

[Kan Di]

- Hello? - Director Lin, what are you guys doing?

Didn't you already promise me that you wouldn't like Youyou anymore?

She is married. Even if you don't consider it for her sake,

you have to consider it for yourself. You're the third person in it. It's not virtuous at all.

It's like this. First, I don't like Youyou.

Second, I looked for her because of work.

What? Yi Han is so angry and said he doesn't want to work with you anymore.

Do you think by saying this now, I would still believe you?

Then, what do you want me to do?

How about this? From now on, no matter what I do,

or what I say or where I'm going, I will report to you.

Okay. I will handle Yi Han. But as for you, take care of yourself.

All right.

You're saying Lin Tian'nuo is pursuing Kan Di?

Yes.

He created this mess in between the two of us just to get Kan Di's attention?

Correct.

Him? The woman I couldn't even get and he thinks he can?

I never intended to get her since I have you, right? I like skinny ones.

But I think Brother Tian'nuo has quite a chance at succeeding.

You see he's handsome, mature, intelligent,

rich, famous, and has manners. What woman wouldn't love him?

If you're talking about my virtues, can you list that many as well?

Of course, I could list ten more... No, twenty more.

Ten is enough; list them.

Uh... the...

He just doesn't have that many virtues.

I bet you ¥1,000, he won't succeed in pursuing Kan Di.

What I said, ignore them. I will go back to work on time tomorrow.

Okay, I got it.

That's all. Wait!

What do you think of Lin Tian'nuo?

I totally agree with your observations; everything was right.

Let's not talk about a good moral character yet.

He's just not a good person.

In the past, I was fooled by his nice-person pretense.

He is just a rascal through and through.

Have you noticed that whatever you do to him, he'll never get angry and is always smiling?

But for some reason, it just makes you frightened. Because you'll never know what he's thinking.

Kan Di?

Director Lin is good. His service is also impeccable.

Whatever! This cooperation opportunity

is very, very hard to come by.

So don't ever mention you'll not do it, okay?

Oh.

No chance.

[Lin Tian'nuo]

Director Lin, what's up this time?

Didn't we have a deal?

- In the future, no matter what I do, I need to report to you. - So?

I'm out for work tomorrow, same as the day after. And the day after that,

maybe I will finish early.

But I asked Youyou for a meal so I need to report to you ahead of time.

Why did you ask to eat with her?

We have things to discuss.

You can't talk over the phone?

Some things can't be explained over the phone, it' must be done in person.

How about this? The day after tomorrow, I'll go to the film set to pick you up in the evening.

I know a seafood street vendor's sea urchin that is very fresh.

It'll be my treat. Let's go try it. It's settled.

Wait...

I said I asked Youyou to go eat. I'm not free.

I'll eat with you in her place. Whatever you want to say to her, you can just tell me.

Please trust my capability of interpretation and expression.

I will 100% pass them over to her.

But you are so busy every day, right? This trivial thing...

how could I get you involved?

I will adequately adjust my work; there is no need for Director Lin to worry.

That's it! See you the day after tomorrow.

General. (T/N: similar to "checkmate")

Brother Tian'nuo.

You–

Sharing good news. Kan Di agreed to go on a date with me the day after tomorrow.

No way. Kan Di is not someone who would easily go on a date with him.

You have to believe it. You asked for a bet, give me the money.

Quickly! You have to accept the loss since you suggested a bet.

[¥1000 (processing)]

I still think it's impossible. I've known Kan Di for so long.

I think it's not that simple. Let's wait and see.

Let's wait and see then.

Right, where is Jing Yao? Weren't you two together?

Why didn't you come together to see me?

Now that she has you. She's even forgotten me, her real brother?

- She can't come anymore. - What do you mean?

She died.

Died? What nonsense are you talking about?

I just spoke to her on the phone last week.

When we were escaping from Chongqing, we encountered a landslide.

She was buried under a mountain of rubble and stone.

Nonsense! When I handed her off to you in the beginning, what did you promise me?

You told me you would protect her. I don't care. Give her back to me! Return her to me!

But I had also told her that it would be a difficult journey and she shouldn't come.

What do you mean?

Jing Yao is gone and you're still blaming her. Do you think she deserved it?

I didn't say that.

I should have told Jing Yao earlier. Shen Bing, you're a heartless person.

What did you say?

Cut.

Thank you, Director!

You've worked hard.

I felt like that scene was really good. All your reactions were on point.

What do you think? Don't you think we have more chemistry now?

Of course, the main reason is that we worked together before.

We have a foundation. Another reason is when we were doing the table reading, we seriously read through it many times.

- Seriously preparing is very important. - Correct.

I saw the schedule. We have an important scene on the morning of the day after tomorrow.

I have a break tomorrow. I think you only have one scene. Let's find a time to practice it.

Okay.

Then let's schedule for two in the afternoon; 2:00 p.m.

Yi Han! Yi Han?

"Miss Pei Youyou, through the selection of the international judges,

the International Nail Art Contest would like to use this notice to congratulate you on entering the finals."

- Wow! - Youyou! Youyou!

- How exciting. - Thank you.

Youyou, I still have the same words for you.

As long as you need it, the shop will fully support you.

I will do my best. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Manager.

Good luck! Good luck!

Hi, Director Lin.

Where's Kan Di?

It's like this. Sister Kan Di is still in a meeting. She was afraid you might have to wait too long,

so she had me come pick you up first. She's close by so she'll go there directly.

Really? Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

Youyou, I believe more than before that you're an artist.

Yi Han's birthday's coming up, so I want to give him a present.

But I don't know what he lacks so I want to draw a picture for him.

Wait! Why were you looking for me?

I... recently got a boyfriend.

Really?

Don't be so surprised.

When did it happen?

What does he look like? Do you have a photo? Where does he live? What horoscope is he–

Stop. You are like checking the population census!

I'm just trying to look out for you as a close friend.

Yeah, right. You hide it so well when you were dating Yi Han in the beginning.

Did you treat me as a close friend?

At that time, I was in a special circumstance.

Quickly tell me what your situation is?

We met at a bar.

He's a designer, 5 years older than me.

Looks quite handsome. I haven't asked him where he's from.

Bar... When?

Last weekend.

You got together just after knowing each other a week. Is that solid?

You haven't met him that is why you said these things.

You would know once you meet him.

- You're sure? - Yes.

Oh right! We just got together so he wants to treat my friends to a meal.

I thought about it and I don't have many friends here.

You're the only one I get along with.

Fine. Then I'll go.

It's settled then!

When the time comes, I'll let you know when.

Hello, Sister Kan Di?

Now?

Director Lin, we're here. It's this one.

You go in first and find a seat. I'll go park the car.

Okay. I'll go in first.

Okay.

Director Lin.

I'll keep the car keys. You can go do what you need to do.

But Sister Kan Di entrusted me to take you home after.

She's not coming?

It's like this. Sister Kan Di just called me and told me she probably can't make it today.

But I was asked to have a good meal with you.

The sea urchins here are very fresh.

You could tell me what you need to tell her.

Director Lin!

Brother Han, what's the situation?

Don't ask anything, I'm just asking you. Is Kan Di coming today to eat with him?

She's not coming. Sister Kan Di asked me to eat with Director Lin on her behalf.

Repeat what you said.

I need to record it. I want Pei Youyou to know that she completely lost.

Say it.

She's not coming. Sister Kan Di asked me to eat with Director Lin on her behalf.

Who's is not coming?

Sister Kan Di is not coming. She asked me to eat with Director Lin on her behalf.

Go back.

Okay. Can you send me the summary?

Okay. Thanks.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Youyou. I asked you to come but kept you waiting.

It's okay, Sister Kan Di. You suddenly asked me to come. What's up?

I can't see you if it's not a special circumstance?

I just thought I haven't seen you for a long time and want to catch up.

You probably want to ask about Yi Han's matter, right?

He's acting odd recently; I don't know what he is up to either.

I don't care about him. He talks one and acts the other. It's been like this for so long.

As long as you didn't go see Lin Tian'nuo.

What did you just say?

Nothing.

[Lin Tian'nuo]

Your phone, you're not going to answer?

[Lin Tian'nuo]

It's Brother Tian'nuo calling.

Hang up for me.

You know this. Though our duty as an agent, we need to work 24 hours.

But I'm too exhausted today. I don't want to pick up the phone for anyone.

Don't do that. What if it's a problem with the film crew?

- I don't want to pick it up. - I think you should take it. If not, I'll answer for you.

No need. Give it to me then.

Hello?

Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal?

I originally planned that.

But you also said that you knew I was busy.

I don't have to do everything myself.

But you clearly insisted on it. I was willing to come because you insisted.

I didn't insist on it. I'm used to being swindled by the other party.

It's rare to encounter such a considerate person like Director Lin.

I feel grateful so I just took it as being respectful.

Furthermore, Dawei can handle things on his own now. It's the same if he went.

It's like this. Telling you what I originally planned to tell Youyou is already at a discount.

And now, it switched to him. It's a discount on top of a discount.

I don't think my meaning

would still be the same 100% as you promised.

But I'm really very busy.

I always thought we had a gentlemen's agreement with a contract spirit.

If you are not going to show up now,

all of my previous promises can also be discredited. Right?

Of course, I think you're fine with this as you are a very cool lady.

No, I'll come right away.

Youyou, sorry about it.

I'll treat you to a meal another day. I have something to do and need to leave right away.

Is something the matter with Brother Tian'nuo?

Nothing. I'll go tidy up a bit and you can go home early.

- Okay. - I'm leaving then.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

[You lost again! Pay up.]

Say it. What do you want to say to Youyou? I'm leaving right after I hear it.

Since you're here, have a drink first.

I just wanted to chat with Youyou,

reminisce our childhood, and get closer in our friendship.

Of course, you and I don't have a childhood to reminisce on so

we can just simply strengthen our relationship instead.

Of course, ladies first so you start. What time period do you want to begin with?

Are you messing with me?

Is my way of expressing a problem?

Where are you hearing me wanting to mess with you?

Director Lin, I have no idea how aggressively you want to pursue Youyou

for you to provoke me this way. But let me tell you, I'm not going to back down.

I will keep protecting them.

I didn't say I wanted to pursue Youyou.

What?

I said I don't want to pursue Youyou.

Then, what exactly do you want?

What I want to say was very clear in the Wechat message I sent you last time.

The person I want to pursue is you.

What Wechat?

Did you delete the chat conversation I sent you?

It's fine. I'll replay it for you.

What's happened has already happened. Why should we just let it be a part of our past?

I think we're all adults here so we have to take responsibility for our actions.

Firstly, it's true we went back to your home together that day.

We did indeed drink some alcohol. However, we didn't do anything,

so you don't need to feel awkward around me.

I feel the drawing is good.

If you put it on the nail, it'll be super awesome.

What should I use here to make the quality even better?

Using a plain blue fingernail polish is too drag.

Using China blue powder like chrome...

or inlaid with sapphires?

[What is more brilliant than a diamond?]

[Our love]

"Our love..."

I got it.

The scenes we decided to move forward, go back and talk with fine arts about when the final choices will be ready.

Okay. Go on.

What's going on with you today? You seemed to have been in deep thought on the way here.

What are you thinking about?

My summer vacation is almost over, I'll have to go back to Prague soon.

Is it me you can't bear to leave or is it your sister?

Probably neither one. It's Zishu you can't bear to leave, right?

Ever since I met her, I've felt like she's been chasing me from behind.

I really haven't done anything for her.

It's like this. If you like someone, you don't need to do anything spectacular for her.

As long as you give her what she hopes for, that's enough.

Is it really like that?

I don't know. I'm also trying to work that out.

But... I think that's probably about right.

What does she want?

You're here.

I bought some marshmallow candies for you.

On the way here, there was a shop that had all these shapes and flavors so I bought them for you.

You...especially bought these marshmallows and brought them to me?

Do you want to try one?

Feed me.

What's wrong? It's not good?

It's delicious.

Try another one.

Cheese flavor. This is actually a cheese flavor.

I hate cheese the most!

Heavens, I'm going to die. I'm doing to die from eating a cheese-flavored marshmallow.

This one looks so cute. Shall I feed you?

It's bitter!

Really? Let me try it.

♫ Listening to you telling me softly ♫

♫ Your eyes filled with tenderness ♫

♫ The camera only surrounding you and I ♫

♫ That is my selfish thought ♫

♫ Without any reservation ♫

♫ I want to give you everything, without any thought of self-interest ♫

♫ Regardless of what choices there are ♫

♫ This moment is the most wonderful experience ♫

♫ The heart quietly loving ♫

I'm sorry. It really is bitter.

I won't buy that kind again.

Again, I can eat it.

♫ Until time gives us an outcome ♫

♫ Only then do I understand that all the waiting is for me ♫

There's no problem here with Brother Han. Don't worry.

- Done for the day? - Yes. I'll put this away.

Okay.

You've worked hard.

I'm starving. Do you have anything to eat?

Something to eat? No.

Aren't you going along with Youyou's asking to increase your income and reduce your expenditures these days?

So, I don't buy snacks anymore.

Besides, she says you eat too much. It's not good for your health.

She wants you to eat less.

In order to keep my love, I have to sacrifice too much.

This evening, I'll take you to eat something good.

I'll take you. You can't tell anyone else about it.

Youyou, your express delivery.

125396, help me get it.

Okay.

Thank you.

What is it?

It's a secret.

♫ The words I want to say are just ♫

♫ Do you miss me? ♫

♫ I want to see you ♫

♫ I want to grow wings to get to your side ♫

♫ I want to be with you ♫

♫ I want to share memories with you ♫

♫ The fish and sky secretly communicate ♫

♫ You struggled free of everything for love ♫

♫ Even if the oxygen there is thin ♫

♫ I am overwhelmed but I will not show my weakness ♫

♫ Passing through the boundary saying the words that belong to love ♫

♫ The midnight that was confessed to ♫

♫ When you say the word, my heart ignites oh~ throw caution to the wind ♫

♫ It seems the word that belongs to love will ignite midnight ♫

♫ Sincerity will eventually resolve all, it is eternal ♫

This is my entry for the final competition.

That's right. It's complete.

That's because of the inspiration you gave me.

You said that the thing that's more brilliant than a diamond is our love.

So? That's when I thought about famous paintings.

For example, the color of the painting "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains"

never faded after even a thousand years. (T/N: Li is a unit to measure distance in China)

They all are painted using precious gems. So I was inspired!

I first ground the opal gemstones into powder, then blended it with nail polish.

As expected, the finished work appears like liquid gems,

and coincidentally it matches the shape of the sea; particularly beautiful.

Where did you get the opal gemstones?

From the bracelet Brother Tian'nuo gave me as a gift.

Nicely done.

Hey, don't you go to him and run your mouth; trying to break our relationship.

Okay, okay.

Since I am the one who inspired you, shouldn't you reward me with something?

Of course, you will be rewarded.

[Nio Western Restaurant]

Why don't I treat you to a meal?

How about Nio? I can get some takeout for you.

There is no need. It wasn't that impressive after the last time we were there.

It's also so expensive. It doesn't measure to the noodles my wife cooks by a long shot.

Really? Stop flattering me.

Of course, it's true.

I will be done after another scene. Just wait for me at home after making a night snack.

I will be home soon.

I have to hurry home.

Waiter! The check, please.

Hello, here is your check.

That's right.

So satisfied.

I don't know when I will be able to eat something so delicious next time.

Brother, didn't you come a couple of days ago when Sister Youyou brought you here?

How dare I eat as I please if she's treating me? I only ordered those dishes that were cheap with big portions.

It couldn't cost a lot of money, yet had to look sumptuous.

I was exhausted from having that meal.

And you, who told you it costs ¥300 per person?

I thought you might sneak out to pay the bill.

I... didn't expect you'd really let her pay.

So you have an excuse then!

I am sorry. I was wrong.

- I am sorry. - You were wrong.

Brother, I was wrong.

I am back.

You are back.

What are you doing?

Didn't you say that you were hungry and asked me to make a night snack?

You finished work so late today. The work must have been hard, right?

I happened to have cooked wontons, glutinous rice balls, and a portion of steamed dumplings.

Mrs. Yi is so amazing. I am drooling when I hear this.

Then hurry up to wash your hands. It will be ready to eat soon.

Let me take a shower and then come back to eat them.

It will be ready soon. Are you not hungry?

No, I am starving. We agreed to eat the night snack you cooked.

- Hubby, - Yes.

Steamed dumplings will be ready soon. I will bring them to you.

This wastebasket looks so ugly.

Here.

Enjoy.

Why aren't you eating?

Eat. Eat.

It's delicious.

Try some steamed dumplings.

Eat some more.

It's hot.

Looks like you don't have much appetite. Did you eat outside already?

No! How is that possible?

I said I'd come back to eat the night snack you made.

I am stuffed.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

It's fine.

Don't eat it anymore. If you keep eating, you'll throw up.

I'm not full yet–

Wifey, are you unhappy about something these days?

Tell your husband.

No.

Why were you crying then?

And ate my rice balls.

It's really nothing. I was just suddenly hungry.

You should have told me if you got hungry. There was so much food on the table.

We could have divided up and enjoyed them together.

Okay, don't play around.

I want to sleep.

Is it because of work?

How's your preparation for the nail art competition going?

I have already mailed in the design drawings of my work,

but... this stage is a bit different than before.

Design drawings are not enough.

They also want to evaluate the participant's skill of doing them,

so we have to mail in the finished sample nails.

If I pass, I can get the ticket for the final competition,

then go to France to participate in the finals.

I am almost done with the sample nail. I can probably mail it out tomorrow.

That quick?

It should take about 2 weeks before I receive the results.

Look. This is the piece for the final competition.

- Does it look good? - It looks nice. The sea is moving.

Is that me?

Yes, it's you.

Unbelievable.

Dear Wife, you are amazing!

How is this a manicure? It's a superb artistic achievement.

Of course, my perfect side profile truly enhanced this work.

In my opinion, this isn't just a candidate for the finals but this is the work of a champion.

You should be a judge for the competition then.

I will definitely register to be a judge if the need is there.

I think it'll be easy with my popularity.

Enough already! Quit it before it's too late.

I'm serious.

I have already come up with the wording in my application to be the judge on the panel.

Because of love.

That...

Tell me.

Can you not hide things from me in the future?

What did I hide from you?

Did you sneak to Nio for dinner today?

I didn't!

I saw that you went with Dawei. How long do you want to lie to me until?

No wonder you made all those for me to eat.

Back then, the most you did was cook a bowl of noodles to appease me.

You never made those before. Turns out you were messing with me.

Of course, I have to mess with you.

I wanted to let you know that you must suffer consequences if you lie.

It's even more unforgivable if you lie to your wife.

What you said is completely right!

However, wasn't it because I was afraid you'd overthink it?

I thought it through. I will eliminate the limit on daily expenses.

From now on, leave a portion for financial management every month.

I won't tell you how to spend the rest of that portion.

You can spend it however you like.

- Are you going to divorce me? - No!

I just feel that what we are doing now is against our original intent.

After thinking about it carefully,

I haven't made many compromises for you, so I can't ask you to do it for me.

Therefore, under the premise not to disrupt our regular life,

we can comfortably be ourselves. Isn't that better?

It does sound good, but won't you divorce me after?

Can you not hang the word divorce at the tip of your tongue?

Oh, that's right! I forgot to stress that when being yourself in the future,

you must not bully or cheat on me.

Otherwise...

Of course. Of course.

But... can you tell me why you cried?

It couldn't be because I snuck out to have a meal at Nio,

so you cried like that?

Then, you can treat it as because of love.

Brother Han, there is a big show in Shanghai on the 25th.

Brother Han? Brother Han?

Brother Han.

There is a big show in Shanghai on the 25th. The designer specifically reserved an invitation for you,

because she prepared a small gift with it.

So we didn't open it and I told my colleague in the office to forward it to your home. Remember to sign for it.

Okay.

Oh right!

Director said that we won't shoot this scene for now and just be on standby.

Do you want to go back and rest, or do you want to stay around here?

Let's wait a little bit. Kan Di said she might stop by later.

Okay.

Brother, your coffee.

Haozi, go out to get Sister Kan Di.

- Now? - Yes.

- Hey. - Yes?

What is it, Brother?

Say, what exactly has to happen for a girl to just cry when she wants to?

Cry when she wants to? Are you talking about Sister Youyou?

Yes.

And her entire demeanor was abnormal. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well at all last night.

It can't be because–

because she's pregnant?

♫ Only love can rescue ♫
