Original subtitles

(Episode 9)

Song Ci is here.

- Hey. - Song Ci.

- Hey, Song Ci. - Hey.

- Meng Meng. - It has been a while.

Baby, I miss you so much.

After the show last time,

how long has it been since we saw each other?

Meng Gui.

Who is she?

Why didn't you call me this time?

You're all talk.

Meng Meng, you're still so cool.

It's my fault.

I'll have three shots as punishment later.

Don't go outside. It's full of paparazzi.

Go and help her.

The restroom is inside.

Why is Si Si sitting there alone?

I'll go and talk to her.

Go.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay.

Are you and Meng Meng really together?

Si Si, why didn't you join us?

Don't you know?

This area is divided.

You can't cross the demarcation line if you're not popular.

Si Si.

Si Si.

Si Si, I want to talk to you.

I really admire you.

How dare you come to me?

Just because you know me well,

must you do this to me?

Why are you following me?

I just want to see how you're doing.

I also want to ask...

if you and I...

can still be together.

Yes, I know. I was wrong before.

But I really miss you.

Since we broke up,

I think about you almost every day.

Yes, you might not believe me.

I wouldn't believe it either if I were you.

I've wronged you after all.

You have the right not to trust me.

But after I left you,

I realized that I can't live without you.

We're still young,

but in this short life,

I've always been with you.

Li Jin wants to dump you, right?

I listened to your lines outside the shoot.

Your foundation is still as bad as ever.

I can't get into character.

Drop the act.

I'm sorry.

Meng Meng, what are you looking for?

I'm looking for Song Ci.

He left to take a call.

I think it's too noisy, so he went to the rooftop.

Thank you.

Yao Meng Gui said...

"thank you"?

I have no relationship with Yao Meng Gui.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Mr. Jiang. I'm begging you, okay?

Don't go to my parents for trivial matters.

Since you know my family,

you should know that the one who needs discipline in my family...

is someone else.

Okay.

I promise.

Aside from work,

nothing is going on between us.

Stop asking over and over again.

I told you already when I was in college.

I don't like her character, tricks, and everything about her.

All right?

(Yao Meng Gui)

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

(Would such words really hurt you?)

(Besides, that’s just an excuse I told Mr. Jiang.)

(Besides, that’s just an excuse I told Mr. Jiang.)

(Red Sun)

(Mr. Zhang)

- Hello. - Mo Mo.

I found out about the Red Sun you asked me about last time.

It took a lot of effort.

This kind of agritourism shop in villages...

doesn't open daily.

It's also located in a poor county.

There's no information online at all.

I asked someone to go there and check.

The owner's surname is Xiao.

He lost his wife from an illness.

He has a daughter...

who doesn't live there.

If you need something more specific,

I'll need more time and information.

That's about it.

Chen Mo, are you listening?

The signal isn't good.

Chen Mo?

I'm here.

So...

can you find photos of the owner's daughter?

I found one.

But it's very blurry.

It's one of those batch photos from school.

Everyone looks blurry.

Send it to me. Thank you.

This is all I can do to help.

How can I repay your favor?

I'm glad I could help.

Did you see her?

Let me give you a hint.

She looks like a celebrity.

Maybe it's because it's blurry.

Is that so?

There are so many people who look like celebrities these days.

Everyone looks the same.

Why are you investigating such a remote area?

Is it about a kidnapped child?

Kidnapped?

I guess you can say that.

(Monday)

I'm going to save her now.

(Yao Meng Gui)

(Chen Mo)

All the relationships in this industry are fake.

I don't need to teach you that.

You're a professional at this.

Yao Meng Gui.

Stop pretending to be pure.

Yes.

I'm an expert.

My character,

tricks,

and everything about me aren't likable at all.

What's wrong?

(Chen Mo)

So what if you drink to death?

I'll get the money tomorrow and leave.

(I found Yao Meng Gui’s big secret.)

I want everyone who works with Yao Meng Gui...

to be able to realize their dreams...

and earn more money.

Ms. Yao, you...

Chen Mo, can you do me a favor?

Just say the word, Ms. Yao.

I want to be a good actress.

Thank you.

Song Ci.

- Song Ci, you're back. - Yes.

Later on,

drive Yao Meng Gui home.

Don't let anyone see her drunk.

Make sure to hand her over to her manager.

Okay, I got it.

Song Ci, what about you?

Don't mind me.

Make sure she gets there.

Wait.

Why are you so drunk?

Where is Song Ci?

Didn't he bring you here?

I don't know.

She's probably in a bad mood.

She only had two drinks.

You're so drunk.

Aren't you afraid of being photographed?

Our phones were confiscated as soon as we came in.

Perhaps she and Song Ci are exceptions.

Popular ones are always exempt.

Then I'll drink some more.

I'll order a dozen more.

You fool.

(Shenzhen, East Lake)

Are you done hiding?

I'm suffocating.

Hiding?

Aren't we...

playing hide-and-seek?

Sir.

I'm sorry.

My girlfriend is a bit crazy.

Don't be afraid.

Do you have a girlfriend?

I really envy her.

Because...

you're a good man, Chen Mo.

You didn't drink, did you?

You said that...

you took cephalosporin today.

If you took that,

you couldn't drink.

You'll die if you drink.

Don't drink.

Don't drink.

Wait.

There.

This way.

Just right here.

Don't go.

I want to give you something.

This one.

I...

finished sewing this.

Your little monkey.

I once thought...

that in this life,

nothing good...

will happen to me anymore.

But your appearance...

destroyed my dispiritedness...

and self-pity.

I had often wondered...

if I messed up too much...

and God heard my repentance,

so he brought you to me.

I consider you my family.

I trust you a lot.

It's true.

You're a good man, Chen Mo.

Are you in love with Yao Meng Gui?

I'm sorry.

Right now,

I don't deserve you yet.

(Where are you?)

(I sent it to the wrong person.)

Cheers.

Song Ci, why don't you close your window?

You just drank and the wind is blowing on you.

I'm afraid you'll get sick.

I'm fine.

I'm getting some air to sober up.

I think Yao Meng Gui drank a lot tonight.

In gatherings like this before,

she usually leaves quickly after she shows up...

just to show a sign of respect.

Today, she enjoyed herself.

Did something good happen?

Sometimes, the more we are together,

the more I think that she's becoming weirder.

I forgot to answer you last time.

My name is Song Ci,

not "Mr. Song's son".

Asking you this question...

might make me seem a bit narcissistic,

but...

do you have a problem with me?

You still asked me the question in the end.

If that's not narcissism, what is?

Don't blame me for not reminding you.

I'm doing this for your sake.

I'm not like them.

They're blank papers.

It's fine for you to go out with them and take photos together.

But I'm different.

I used to be an influencer.

And I'm neither popular nor unpopular now.

If people see...

our photos together,

it'll ruin your good reputation...

as a second-generation celebrity,

a genius,

a prince charming,

and Mr. Song's only son.

This time, it's four labels.

You just won't stop, right?

Is it that corny?

It is.

But isn't it inaccurate?

We have a school event today.

There will be a lot of reporters.

I know that there is...

emergency access for trucks by the auditorium.

Do you want to go that way?

Why should I avoid reporters?

I'm afraid that they wouldn't take pictures of me.

But didn't you just say...

that you don't want your photos to be taken?

I don't want my photos taken with you...

or anyone else.

I just want them to take my photos.

Whether it's for good or bad,

I want people to see me.

Do you understand?

I...

I just want them to take photos of me.

You had better stay away from me.

You're too popular.

You'll outshine me.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What happened between you and Song Ci?

Are you okay?

I'm completely fine.

You don't have to hide it from me.

Even if I don't know what happened,

you left so suddenly yesterday.

Song Ci was so distracted after that.

On top of that, based on your condition this morning,

I can guess what happened.

What did you guess?

Did you fail...

in your love confession to Song Ci?

I've never liked him.

Stop pretending.

We've been filming together for so long.

Do you think I can't tell...

if you like him or not?

That shouldn't have happened.

In college,

I thought he had feelings for you.

You were the one who kept ignoring him.

- Back then, you even... - Si Si, stop it.

He's just using me.

Are you scared of that?

You've used him as well.

Anyway,

you still have to work hard on adjusting...

your condition.

We're actors.

Filming comes first.

Look at you.

It's so obvious.

I wonder who was the one...

who cried her eyes out that day...

and even asked me to beg the director.

(“Under the First Snow” Script)

Song Ci, there shouldn't be anyone inside.

Go in.

- Okay. - Hold on.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just can't stand the fact that certain people...

must even clear the restroom before going in.

That's so dramatic.

Are you sticking up for her?

Stand guard here then.

I'm not in a hurry.

Okay.

Does it smell good in there?

You're standing by the door.

Can't you smell it?

Are you coming out or not?

What's the matter?

Can't you hold it in anymore?

Not really.

Since you love restrooms so much,

of course I won't deny you that.

Xiao Bai.

Keep an eye on him here.

Don't let him out within 10 minutes.

I'll use the restroom in my RV.

His RV has a restroom?

Chen Mo.

I don't have many good points.

Just one.

I'm obedient.

Okay, action.

"Under the First Snow", scene 31, shot 1, take 1.

Are you free this weekend?

Yes.

I happen to be off duty.

I'll just inform my teacher.

What's up?

Are you not free if you're not off duty?

If you're asking me out,

I'm always free.

Cut.

Li Rong Jing.

If you're not awake,

we must wait until you are before filming.

Stop asking people what they think.

Just ask yourself...

what you think.

I want to be an actress.

That's my dream.

I'm saying it's my dream.

Director Zhang, I'm sorry.

I'm ready now.

Can we do it again?

Okay. Let's do it again.

"Under the First Snow", scene 31, shot 1, take 2.

Director Zhang, the food is here.

Okay. Let everyone eat first.

Time to eat!

Yao Meng Gui.

Let's talk.

Okay.

I'm very sorry about last night.

I didn't mean what I said in the phone call.

It's just what I told my manager, Mr. Jiang.

My career...

is very important to my whole family right now.

A person in his 20s...

is still being watched closely...

by his parents and elders.

Actually, it's very embarrassing.

But now,

I'm not in total control of my career yet.

So sometimes,

I have to say some things...

to calm them down and buy some time.

You and I are very similar in that sense.

You should understand.

I'm sure I'm more ruthless than you.

You said so many things...

just to tell me...

that you're not looking down on me.

Then why don't you just tell me that directly?

Why are you beating around the bush?

I'm sorry.

It has become a habit.

In regards to whether you're using me or not,

even if I didn't hear you back then,

after thinking about it carefully,

I understood everything.

But I...

I still feel like you're blaming me.

I realized something.

You say you don't like me.

But actually,

you admire the Yao Meng Gui that you don't understand,

right?

I do like seeing you being domineering and pulling tricks.

I like that you're fearless.

You always know what you want...

no matter what anyone says.

That's who I aspire to be...

and admire.

But I realized...

that's only on the surface.

The real you...

are gentle, kind,

and passionate.

- But... - But that's not what you like.

Yesterday,

after I heard that phone call,

the version of me whom you like is the one...

who wouldn't run away looking so hurt and fragile, right?

Yes.

You're so perverted.

What?

So you like it when I use you, bully you,

beat around the bush, and always beat you.

Is that your fetish?

What nonsense are you talking about?

I just don't like weaklings.

But sometimes, I'm the weakling.

I'm very true to myself.

I believe what I hear.

When I get hurt, I feel sad.

But don't be discouraged.

I'm very fickle.

Perhaps...

I'll act differently someday.

That's possible.

All right. This matter is over.

From now on,

let's just focus on filming.

See you this afternoon at the shoot.

Ms. Yao.

I was looking for you.

What do you want to eat later?

Do you want some ice cream?

Let's skip the vegetables today.

Why are you looking at me?

I'm not sad.

I'm really not upset.

You know what?

I've thought things through.

Perhaps...

I've never liked the real Song Ci.

Song Ci told me...

that he likes my domineering image...

who doesn't care about anyone.

Actually, I'm like that too.

I only like...

the gentle and well-mannered celebrity Song Ci,

whom I see from afar.

I don't know what he's like behind the camera.

It doesn't matter if I like the best side of him.

What matters is...

whether I can accept his worst side.

Your ice cream will melt if you don't eat it.

Ms. Yao.

Don't worry about that.

As a female celebrity,

you eat way too much.

Do you want me to help you with that?

There's really no need.

If you're not eating it, give it to me.

I'll get going.

I was just kidding.

I'm not going to eat it.

He's so stingy.

It's just ice cream.

(Xiang Jiao)

Mo Mo, you're here.

Why are you looking for me?

I'm here to give you a big gift.

What is it?

Your phone.

Hurry up.

Did you take this?

Liang Liang did.

That day, a starlet...

booked our whole team...

to expose her rumor with a benefactor.

I didn't expect...

to see that.

But it's okay.

I intercepted it for you immediately.

Since you've intercepted it, why are you telling me?

It's a souvenir for you.

I know you like her.

Stop pretending.

Once I leave later,

you'll save it right away...

and keep looking at it at night.

This is what I'm going to say.

If you don't secretly look at it 100 times,

I'll change my surname to your dad's.

Dream on.

Of course.

Besides, do you think I'm stupid?

You've been working with the crew for so long...

and you weren't able to take a photo of anything.

Do you think I'll buy that?

Even if you don't get anything big, what about minor stuff?

Humans have flaws.

When it comes to Yao Meng Gui,

can't you take a photo of anything?

I didn't expect you to fall so deeply for her.

I knew it.

I must get disciples...

who were born into poor families.

If he's rich,

he'll definitely fall for an actress.

I have to go. Bye.

There are other angles on my phone.

With your looks,

you look good with Yao Meng Gui.

I'll post your photos with her tonight...

and get you two together.

Just wait for good wishes from people.

Was I sucking up...

the wrong way?

The photos,

everything.

Delete them.

Ms. Yao.

Ms. Yao.

There you are.

Let me show you something.

What's wrong?

Are you scared of this at your age?

So what if I'm old?

Can't I get scared just because I'm old?

But it's just a sparkler.

I'm warning you. Don't come any closer.

- A sparkler... - Cut it out.

All right. I'll stop.

Why are you so fierce?

I would like to take tomorrow off.

For your makeup at noon,

I might not be there.

I'll ask Xiao Wen to come...

and be my substitute.

It's okay.

Peng Fei can accompany me.

- Mom. - Don't come here.

Xi He.

Xi He.

I'm fine.

I can still talk to you.

- Mom. - Don't come any closer!

Mom.

(Ms. Yao, is everything fine over there?)

(Ms. Yao, is everything fine over there?)

I haven't been here for too long.

It's so dusty.

(Father, Lin Hang)

(Mother, Xiang Wan Hua)

I'll do it.

Are you...

still afraid of fire?

I thought that...

after not seeing you for a while,

you'd have changed already.

How one was at three years old is how he'll be his entire life.

I was 20 years old when I moved out.

Don't expect too much from me.

Go.

Talk to your parents.

Dad.

Mom.

Don't worry about me.

Chen...

Mr. Chen takes good care of me.

I recently got a new job.

I'm a little busy.

But everything will get better.

You're not mad...

that I can't visit you often, right?

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing either.

I also don't know what I should do.

But Dad, Mom,

I'll listen to you...

and be a good person.

Okay.

I told the driver...

to wait under the hill.

This driver is a little lazy.

One of these days,

I'm planning to fire him.

But it must happen after this weekend.

After all, he just got his paycheck two days ago.

How have you been?

Do you have enough money after you quit your job?

Yes.

That's okay as long as you think it's enough.

It doesn't matter if we live poorly,

wealthily,

or have to beg for food.

It's not bad...

to be a female celebrity's helper.

It's fine as long as you don't starve.

Did you investigate me?

I don't have time for that.

A few friends told me...

that you're a female celebrity's helper now.

I have a lot of friends in the entertainment industry.

It's unavoidable to hear rumors.

You're free to do whatever you want.

Just don't associate yourself with my name, Chen Li Qun.

I'm the one being embarrassed.

I didn't mention your name.

Don't associate yourself with me either.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with my work now.

I think an executive manager is a very challenging job.

I was just prejudiced against this industry before.

Are you prejudiced...

about being conned and owing a lot of debt then?

I'll say it again.

I wasn't tricked.

That little girl Yang Yang...

really needs a lot of help.

No matter what her parents do,

it has nothing to do with her.

Come home.

What did you say?

How many times do I have to tell you?

You're too young to be deaf.

Save it.

My offer isn't always available.

If you don't want it, I'll withdraw it.

Then withdraw it.

A few years ago,

you already had your own home.

Don't add more people to your family.

I'm not a part of your new family.

Yes.

That's why I'm asking if you want to come home.

Be your brother's tutor,

nanny, and others.

You're serving a celebrity anyway.

I think you're very thoughtful.

There you go again.

You always act this way.

Every time we talk honestly about this,

you're always snarky.

You're trying to make me angry...

to ruin the conversation.

Why are you always avoiding the topic?

Why do I feel like you're the one running away?

You won't come home to your brother.

You won't accept my help.

You just resigned and disappeared.

Do you feel glorious?

Tell me.

Why did I patiently raise you all these years?

Why shouldn't I fire you...

like that driver?

By the way,

this is for you.

Take it.

When you have free time at night,

hug it and cry.

Cut. Good take.

You did very well today.

It's a wrap.

Go home and get some rest.

Thank you, Director Zhang.

Wait.

- What are you doing? - It's all right.

Meng Gui.

I didn't do well in my exams this year.

I was really depressed.

I recently saw your variety show online.

You were being bashed that way,

yet you didn't back off.

That really inspired me.

I want to come and thank you.

Also,

if you don't mind...

Thank you.

Meng Gui, drink it while it's hot.

Ms. Yao.

I hope...

that you can still enjoy the process of opening gifts in the future.

I wonder...

where Chen Mo went today.

Dad, Mom.

If you're still watching over me,

can you tell me...

what I should do?

Hello?

Chen Mo, bad news.

Something happened to Meng Meng.
