You said you had fallen in love with me.

Is that true?

Then come with me.

To where?

Away from here.

To the outside. To the real world.

Why?

Don't you want to see the world outside?

(Please don't follow the dangerous activities.)

Qianya.

I don't think I should go out.

Why?

We're only one step away

from the outside world.

You've been in here for so many years.

Don't you want to see what the outside world is like?

Qianya, this is all too sudden.

I'm not ready yet.

What is there to get ready for?

All we have to do is go through that door.

What's holding you back?

Qianya.

All these years,

I've never gone out.

I'm worried that I won't know what to do

when I go out there.

That I won't fit in.

You have me. What do you have to worry about?

♪I'm sorry I admit♪

Xu Nian.

♪Every night I see you in my dreams♪

If you love me and trust me,

come with me.

♪Dreams and reality become entangled♪

♪I can't tell them apart♪

Qianya, I like you.

I trust you.

But...

This is different for both of us.

To you,

going outside

is an easy matter.

But to me...

It's a difficult decision to make.

Xu...

Kele.

Why are you here alone?

The same reason as you.

I failed.

I wanted to convince Lu Xiao

to go and see his mother.

But we got into a fight.

He chased me out.

I guess we can't decide on anything

when we're drunk, after all.

I guess this is the best wake-up call for acting on impulse.

Let's go.

=Love Crossed=

=Episode 14=

Okay.

Seven bamboo.

Pong!

Are you sure?

Eight character.

(Lu Xiao.)

(Did you know that your mother has a tumor?)

(American Medical Association) (Family Medical Guide)

Qianya.

I can't help but say that Xu Nian is a wimp.

He's too cowardly.

He didn’t even dare to step outside.

Lu Xiao's the same, isn't he?

He wouldn't even go see his mother, who is ill.

Jiang Kele,

I think you should reflect on yourself.

On your tastes in men.

Well, you should do the same.

Let's reflect together then.

Qianya, I've got it.

I shouldn't have been a busybody.

I think

one's love should be pure.

I think I have too many other intentions right now.

From now on, when I love someone,

I'll only focus on him. I won't bother about anything else.

Am I right?

Qianya,

I think you shouldn't be so concerned about other things too.

You don't love him that much yet.

It's not too late for you to back out.

Do what you have to do. Expose them.

If Xu Guanghan goes down,

they'll get to come out,

right?

I wonder who the person was,

worrying that they wouldn't

be able to fit in the real world if they came out the other day?

I wonder why that person has changed her mind?

I... Yesterday, I...

I was just too empathetic yesterday!

We're worried about them.

But who will be worrying about us?

Right?

Qianya, if your company goes bankrupt,

will any of them care?

I risked losing my job

to tell Lu Xiao that his mother's ill.

Did anyone care that I might have lost my job?

No. None of them!

And what are those guys doing right now?

They are sleeping

comfortably in their cozy beds.

We're the ones who stayed up all night worrying.

Qianya, aren't we so silly?

Yes.

Yes.

We're too silly.

Absolutely.

I'll see you tonight.

Hang on. Where are you going?

Change my clothes and get to work.

Some people

don't even have the time to figure out love

before they have to get to work.

You say that as if you don't have to get to work.

I applied for leave.

Why?

Because I have some important matters to attend to.

What sort of matters?

Oh, your mother’s birthday!

Qianya.

My dad is coming back today,

so could I have the room...

Jiang Kele.

Even if your father never goes out to sea again,

that room will be his for the rest of his life.

We kept that room just for him, didn't we?

Thank you, Qianya!

Go get changed.

I'll go back after I finish my food.

Okay.

I'll take one to go.

Bye.

Wait.

Do you know why Lu Xiao is being punished?

Is it because he went against the contract?

Yes!

He was curious about the outside world.

So he sneaked out when the electricity was down.

He got caught and was brought back.

Both of you live under the same roof.

Did you really not notice that he sneaked out?

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

But Mr. Xu,

I honestly never thought

that someone would disobey your orders and sneaked out.

I never thought so too.

I'm sure Lu Xiao didn't mean to do it.

And he won't do it again.

Please forgive him.

I wasn't planning on forgiving him,

but you the person I trust the most,

are pleading for him...

Let him up.

Xu Nian, you are the leader.

You are the one I entrust the most responsibilities with.

I hope you do your duties as a leader.

If something like this happens again,

even if you think there is the slightest chance that it could happen,

report it to me immediately.

Yes, sir.

Are you curious about the outside world?

If someone tries to leave again,

you'll suffer with them.

Yes, sir.

However,

what if you were the one to sneak out?

But I'm sure that you wouldn't do that.

Xu Nian, it's time for training.

Hold on. I'll be right there.

♪Where are we going?♪

Kele.

I'm coming!

Dad!

Dad!

Kele!

Come in! Come in!

You're finally back!

I missed you so much!

Here.

I've got your bed all ready for you!

Really?

Let me tell you about our plans for today.

Later, we'll go and see mom.

Then, tonight, when Qianya gets back,

let's have dinner with her. Does that sound good?

-Have a seat. -Sounds good.

Let me have a good look at you.

Okay.

Kele.

Our time onshore is short this time.

I won't be able to stay the night.

I have to go back by tonight.

We'll be departing at night.

Only for such a short time?

You stayed the night last time.

Dad, why don't you just quit your job?

I'm working and earning money now.

I can take care of you.

And Qianya

said that room is all yours.

You can stay for as long as you want.

Good, good. I'm happy

just to hear you say that.

I'm still young and healthy right now.

I'll work hard for a few more years to save up money.

When I'm old, and my legs don't work as well,

you'll have to take care of me. Okay? It's a promise.

I've been

to many places this year.

I got you a lot of presents.

I hope you like them.

Dad.

Don't bring so many things

back with you next time.

These look so heavy.

Don't worry.

You can get everything online now.

Here. Look at this.

This is a nautical souvenir, a small boat.

Isn't it nice?

There are more!

Here. Look at this.

Look at how soft this is.

It's a carpet from Tunisia.

It's a branded carpet.

Oh, and this here too.

Coffee beans from Kenya.

Share some with Qianya.

Dad, you can buy all these things

online now.

You don't have to bring them over yourself.

Speaking of that.

There's something that you can never buy online!

What is it?

Here. Open it.

These... These look expensive!

Do you like them?

You might not know this, but...

In Africa,

there's a tribe called the Simba tribe.

It's the most beautiful place in Africa.

When their daughters get married,

they'll prepare these pieces of jewelry as dowry.

I have a colleague

whose daughter is getting married this year.

So he prepared a set for her.

And then I thought,

my Kele is all grown up now too.

She'll get married someday.

So I bought a set for you as well.

But how much did this cost you?

Not a lot.

A few months of my salary.

So expensive?

(Made in China) I mean, as long as you like it.

(Made in China)

Dad, you were tricked once again.

What do you mean?

"Made in China".

Come in.

Ms. Guan, it's me.

(Crush On Love)

I see you're busy.

Yes.

I have something to tell you.

My ex-wife's best friend

wants me to ask you

about that "exclusive story" you mentioned before.

She wants to know why didn't you expose it.

Why does she want to know so badly?

I asked her about that!

She said it's her right as a journalist

to know the truth.

If she wants the truth,

she should go look for it herself.

She's just trying to get something for nothing, isn't she?

Well, you said it yourself.

Take another risk,

and you'll be able to get that "exclusive story".

So... Did you take that risk?

Did you get the story then?

I don't want to continue this conversation.

Go get busy.

Ms. Guan.

I don't want to push you,

but I have to.

With the way our company is right now,

we may not be able to hold on much longer.

The investors are pulling out.

Look.

The employees are all worried sick.

Qi Chuan might have received compensation,

but he's furious.

Legally,

he can't do anything.

But he didn't take it so easily.

He's taking revenge on you!

How?

He wrote a song,

"Better to dance than to fall in love".

He said he'd spend 1,000 yuan

to hire you as the lead actress for this MTV.

And he'd play the male lead, "Xu Nian".

In the MV,

both of you will re-enact

the dance you danced with Xu Nian.

Don't mind him.

He's just trying to ride the wave.

Of course he did!

I've rejected him on your behalf.

But what's worse than all this

is that our company has had

zero membership growth for months.

And zero revenue.

Our company's fund

can only last us till next month!

All in all,

I only have one thing left to say.

Ms. Guan,

if you do have the exclusive story to tell,

please do it.

If you don't have it,

it's all right. We'll all think of something else.

Okay. I understand.

(Crush On Love)

I'll leave now.

Dad.

Please don't buy me all those things

when you come back next time.

You get tricked too easily.

Kele, your mother left us too soon.

And I'm often out in the seas.

I can't take care of you.

I just want to buy some presents

for you to make you happy.

But I guess I messed it up again.

Okay.

I won't buy them again. I promise.

Next time,

buy some things for yourself.

You're here early today, bro.

I've got it all ready for you.

Dad.

Do you have anything to tell mom this year?

I'll write it down for you.

Okay.

Honey, another year has gone by.

Rest assured, I've been well.

Our ship went to Africa this year.

Tunisia, Kenya, Ethiopia,

Somali, and many other places.

It's good. I earned a lot of money.

I thought

that Kele is all grown up now.

So I bought her a set

of African jewelry for her as her dowry.

I...

Dad.

Let's not write that down.

If mom found out you were tricked,

she'd be angry.

No, I mean... Just don't tell her that it's fake!

No, I can't do that.

This is a pen of honesty.

I can't write any lies with this pen.

Silly girl. I'll write it then.

You'll talk, okay?

Okay. I'll start now, all right?

Okay. Go.

Mom,

Dad spent a busy year out in the seas.

But he didn't make any money!

Hey, why would you say that?

But fortunately,

he's safe and sound.

I, on the other hand, had a different year!

I made immense progress in my career!

Immense progress.

Okay, okay. I got it.

Not only am I working at a cosmetic shop,

I got a part-time job that pays well.

I'm working as a janitor

in a fancy house.

My wage is five times the salary of a convenience shop worker.

Five times!

Why did you stop, Dad?

You said this's the pen of honesty.

How could I write that down?

It is the pen of honesty.

I'm telling you the truth.

The wage is good.

Kele, if they're paying you so much,

the job must be really tough. Is it?

It's not hard at all.

It's easy and fun.

My daughter's all grown up.

She knows to hide her suffering from her father.

I don't have a hard time working as a janitor, Dad.

Never mind. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it.

You've been overseas for too long.

You're out of the loop.

You don't know how capable your daughter is.

Kele.

I have a few words to tell you.

I know you've always been a very understanding child.

All these years,

you've been taking care of yourself.

But I don't wish to see you

having a hard time in your life.

That you'd have to work so hard just to earn money.

I only want you

to be like other people of your age.

If there's something you want to do,

just do it.

Go after your dreams.

Okay?

But I am doing it now.

See. I'm working hard to earn money now.

I have a job.

I want to buy a big house.

And we'll all live in it together.

That way,

you won't have to go out to the sea anymore.

That's what mom wanted, right?

Okay. Then,

I will work hard with you.

We'll both

try our best to fulfill this dream together.

Okay?

We can do it!

We can do it!

Three.

Two.

One.

Honey!

-Happy Birthday, dear! -Happy Birthday, mom!

Dad.

It's mom's birthday today.

But why isn't she here yet?

Haven't I told you this before?

she is in heaven now.

That's why I brought you here, on a hot air balloon.

Because this is the closest place we can get to her.

Will I be able to see her?

Will I be able to talk to her?

Here.

We'll write down the things

you want to say to her.

I guarantee that she'll be able to read them.

Here.

Happy Birthday, mom.

I miss you.

(Happy Birthday, mom. I miss you.)

Here. Hold this.

Three, two, one.

(Cash check: 20 million yuan)

Please let me know if you have any requests.

I'll do my best to make it happen.

I only have one request.

I want you to leave the company.

Me? Leave the company?

Yes.

I can relate to you very much.

I have my own company too.

You've been running this company for all these years,

only to end up in this situation.

It must be hard for you.

You might not be able to accept this right now,

but you're responsible for leading your company

to this situation right now.

You don't have to sell me your company right now.

But if you don't,

Crush On Love may cease to exist.

However, if you take my offer and leave...

The company may not be yours any longer,

but it will continue to exist.

I have the ability to make it better.

Mr. Zhang,

please give me some more time.

I brought Crush On Love

to the place it is today. I've gotten this far.

I can bring it back again.

No, you won't.

If you were capable of doing so,

you would have saved the company a long time ago.

Mr. Zhang.

There’re many reasons why

the company ended up this way.

But unfortunately, I can't share those reasons with you.

Of course, there're many complicated reasons

why the company ended up this way.

But as the CEO of a company,

you must always put the interests

of the company first.

Your own personal interests and relationship must give way

to the interests of the company.

This is the most fundamental requirement

for a company's CEO.

If you can't even do that,

then I suggest you

take the money

and go do what you can do.

Mr. Zhang,

if I considered myself just a businesswoman,

under these circumstances,

it'd be the easiest way out

for me to take the money and go.

But I built Crush On Love from scratch.

I put my heart and soul

into this company.

To me,

it isn't just a company.

It's a part of my life.

I won't hand it over to anyone.

Thank you for your offer.

You won't get the same offer

if you come back again.

I won't be back.

(Existence and Void)

I have a question for you.

Do you think that there is any meaning

in your existence as a virtual character?

Do not dwell too much on the meaning of existence.

There is a line that I like very much.

"When I am hungry, I eat."

"When I am tired, I rest."

"When I want to do something,

I do it."

So

when you miss me,

come and see me.

I'm here.

What are you afraid of?

Xu Nian.

If you love me and trust me,

then come with me to the outside world.

(Please don't follow the dangerous activities.)

(Entrance)

(Xiang Hua Qiao Lu Station, Entrance 6)

May both of you be in love and happy.

Are you looking to buy flowers for your girlfriend?

I'm closing up. You can have this.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Your girlfriend must be as beautiful as this flower.
