It's so boring.

It's said to work is the happiest. Indeed.

When are they coming back?

It's been only 30 minutes.

Kele.

Why are you back?

Aren't you at your training?

I have completed all the tasks

ahead of schedule today.

Here I am to keep you company.

It's so boring to watch the TV series all by myself.

That's why I'm here.

Thank you.

Kele, you're awake.

I was just about to go and wake you up.

Did you make all these?

Yes.

I learned to make these from the recipe.

Here.

Take a seat.

Today, I've prepared

something special for you.

Braised fish?

How did you know that I like it?

Xu Nian told me.

How did he know?

It must be Qianya who told him.

You could have just asked me.

There's no need to do it in a roundabout way.

If I were to ask you,

there would be no surprise.

By the way, this isn't any ordinary braised fish.

I called it

Kele Fish.

A dish named after me?

No.

That's because it's a braised fish

made specially for Kele with coke.

Give it a try.

If I were to say what I'm about to say next,

my dad would be mad.

But I have to say.

This is really good given it's your first attempt.

Really?

Have more.

Dig in. Come on.

Here's another one.

Wait.

We can't finish everything ourselves.

Why don't we ask them to join us?

We've been waiting for you to say that!

We have the utensils ready!

Don't eat too much.

Save some for Kele.

Don't worry. We're not like Xu Nian.

He comes late and eats a lot.

Why do I feel like someone's talking behind my back?

Speaking of the devil.

This is Kele Fish?

That's right.

I made it for Jiang Kele.

None of you can eat it.

Lu Xiao, why are you here?

I'm here to pick my girlfriend up from work

and send her home.

Sure.

How do you usually go home?

I usually take the subway.

If we move now,

we should be able to catch the last train.

Let's go then.

Hold on.

Let's go home.

Kele, you're home.

I should get going now.

So you meant it

when you said you just wanted to send your girlfriend home?

If not?

Would you like to come in

and have a drink?

What drinks?

Jiang Kele.

Alright, I was just messing with you.

It's the boiled coke with ginger.

I'm afraid you might catch a cold since you got wet in the rain.

Here. Coke with ginger.

I didn't know it tastes so good.

It's not.

The Kele Fish that you made is the best.

Lu Xiao.

Thank you.

Thank you for all you've done today.

These are things

that I never dare to dream of.

Actually, I'm really happy today.

This is my first time being in a relationship.

So it turns out that it actually feels that great

being able to take care of a girl.

From now on,

I'll make you happy every day.

No.

Because if you have to work

and try to make me happy at the same time,

it'll be really tough on you,

and you'll get distracted.

I just want you to focus on your work.

The sooner you complete the contract,

the sooner you can leave the Bay House.

That way,

we'll be able to date in public.

Whatever you say.

(Love Boys)

Do you think it looks like him?

I think it looks a lot like him.

Where did you get this picture?

Lisa took it.

Lisa?

Didn't Guan Qianya fire her?

Yes, that's why she's working in the restaurant now.

She said Guan Qianya has lost her mind

and is addicted to the game.

She's even dating

a replacement who looks a lot like Xu Nian.

Lisa thought

this picture would be of use to us.

So she wanted something in return.

From the day Guan Qianya stood up against me,

she has already lost her mind.

Mr. Xu, what should we give Lisa in return?

What else does she want?

We have given her a lifetime membership.

It's her job to do us favors.

Okay.

(Crush On Love)

I've seen this sweater in Xu Nian's room.

He is Xu Nian!

I'm so blessed

to be able to have breakfast with my Lu Xiao.

My goodness. I'm so happy that I'm about to pass out.

That's a little exaggerating.

It's not like we haven't had breakfast together before.

That's different.

We had it with the others,

but now, it's just the two of us.

Also, it's a couple set meal that you made yourself.

All right. Eat up.

♪I still remember the first time we met♪

♪Even the skies turned pink♪

♪You control my mind and my body♪

♪I don't want this dream to end, so I'll act on my love♪

♪Let love explode and bombard you with sweetness♪

♪I'll take your entire world by storm♪

♪I'll follow you wherever you go♪

♪Like a tail you can't get rid of♪

Am I interrupting something?

No.

Do you want to join us for breakfast?

Do you want to have breakfast?

I'll pass.

I have a bigger fish to fry.

I want to discuss it with you two.

What is it?

What is it?

Xu Nian.

Mr. Xu is here.

Let's go.

Hi, Mr. Xu.

Please give us the room.

I have something to discuss with Xu Nian.

Get moving.

Lei Na, search Xu Nian's room.

All right.

Mr. Xu.

Jiang Kele took the sweater the other day.

Well, let's see

if we find any contraband.

Okay.

Mr. Xu, I found a phone.

Who gave it to you?

It's a limited edition.

First, the sweater. Now, the phone.

I never expected such a big surprise coming from you.

Xu Nian.

I have some questions for you.

Ask away.

I have questions for you too.

Let's see

who has more questions.

Why conceal the existence of the four of us?

That's a good question.

Anything else?

Why did you lie?

Why tell everyone

that we are virtual characters in Love Boys?

Not bad. What else?

Why imprison the four of us?

So this is what Guan Qianya told you

after you sneaked out?

I didn't sneak out.

It has nothing to do with her.

I did some searching using my phone.

Tell me. Who gave you the phone?

You haven't answered my questions.

Fine.

If you really want to know,

I'll tell you slowly.

When I was young,

I was a celebrity manager who started from scratch

and established Yao Entertainment

after a decade or so in the industry.

I've helped to bring fame to many people.

One of them is Qi Chuan, who became famous at a young age

and is all washed up now.

The other one was Ge Yilan,

the female star who has once been popular

in Asia.

But she has withdrawn from the show business.

My question is

why imprison us?

You have been living here since you were kids

and you were happy all the time.

Now that you're all grown up,

you're asking me that?

Why did I specifically mention these two people?

That's because

they have some moral flaws.

They were obedient when they were nobody.

But they got out of control once they gained fame

and betrayed me.

It broke my heart

and made me suffer setbacks

in my vision of building an entertainment empire.

Because of them, I realized

that betrayal is human nature.

It's all in the blood.

So I thought

if the weakness of human nature can be removed,

they'll be at my disposal.

So you used the four of us as a bargaining chip

to create Love Boys?

That's right.

At first,

I wanted to create virtual characters without humanity.

But then I realized

to make Love Boys a success,

humanity is imperative.

That put me in a dilemma.

But soon,

I found the solution.

That is to design Love Boys

using real humans as prototypes,

writing emotional responses into data and codes.

That way, real human emotional reactions

can be presented in the interaction with the players.

To achieve this great plan,

I set my sights

on my newly born son.

Since he was a kid,

I have him strictly trained to learn etiquette, culture,

music, dance, et cetera,

to make him a perfect man.

I strived to get a

perfect virtual character in Love Boys.

Shortly after,

I discovered that women

have strange needs for men.

All kinds of different needs.

But it can basically be divided into four types.

Gentle, wise, outgoing, and obedient.

My son is the wise type.

So I found three other kids

who were about his age.

Lu Xiao.

Luo Ke.

Su Lie.

That's how the Y4 that takes the world by storm is formed.

I bet you get the hint now, don't you?

Xu Nian, your real name is Xu Jin.

I'm your biological father.

That's impossible.

How could you possibly be my father?

Didn't you tell me

that my biological parents

abandoned me in the hospital when I was born?

I lied to you.

It's impossible.

You're so young. How could you possibly be my father?

You've been lying to me all the years.

How can I believe you?

Kid.

What he said is true.

He's your biological father.

He's still in good shape.

Forever young and good looking.

I told you to cut down the aesthetic treatments.

Now your son wouldn't even accept you.

Grandma Fushun, why don't you go back first?

Who are you?

If you're not a member of the Xu family,

stay out of our family business.

Grandma, is he telling the truth?

Yes.

To be specific,

you should call me Great Aunt.

Aunty.

This isn't the time for a family reunion.

Grandma Fushun.

If he's my father,

who's my mother?

Do you remember

that during one Mid-Autumn Festival

I played a movie for all of you?

The name of the movie is

"The Making of Female Stars".

Do you remember the story?

That movie

actually tells the true story

of your biological parents.

What do you need?

Sirloin steak medium rare.

Actually, I know who you are.

I've read news about you

and seen your interview on TV.

You're Mr. Xu Guanghan,

the top celebrity manager

who can turn an ordinary person

into a super star.

Right?

I have a friend who looks up to you.

She has sent a resume to Yao Entertainment before

but didn't receive any reply.

So I wonder

if you could spare one minute for her?

Sure.

Really?

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

How can you dress like this at work?

How inappropriate!

I'm receiving complaints from the customers.

I...

What? You're fired!

Get lost!

Don't talk to her that way.

From now on,

she works for Yao Entertainment.

It was a beautiful encounter.

But who would have known

what would happen later on?

You know what?

In the end, that girl

really became a super star.

(Universal Gilded Film Festival) Lanlan, the audiences

are curious about your relationship status.

Are you still single now?

Lanlan.

I heard that you and the British actor, Eric,

have been secretly dating for two months because of the drama.

Is it true?

Of course not.

We're just colleagues.

Behind the scenes, we're good friends.

(Film Star World)

Besides, I already have someone that I like.

(Ge Yilan) Someone she likes?

-Who is it? -I have no idea.

I'm so curious.

(Ge Yilan)

Of course.

It's not convenient to reveal it to you right now.

Lanlan, you're so open about your relationship.

I bet something good is going to happen.

What's your plan?

Share with us.

Indeed, we have plans in motion.

Sorry.

Thank you, everyone.

It's about time. We have to go inside now.

Thank you.

-Lanlan! -Bye!

Lanlan, look over here!

Lanlan.

If I hadn't stopped you,

were you planning

to make our relationship public?

Why not?

We've been together for so long.

It's just a matter of time.

When did I ever say

that we were going public for our relationship?

But we can't hide it forever.

Guanghan, I want to be with you

out in the public like normal people do.

Since you have chosen this industry,

you should understand

the freedom sacrificed

is the price we should pay.

You're a public figure.

The fantasy of the people.

Most importantly,

do you think we'll get their blessings by going public?

You're being too naive. It won't happen.

Once your reputation

is subject to uncontrollable changes,

your career will be at stake.

But...

No buts.

We have put in so much effort

to get to where we are today.

It's your dream to become the most popular female star

and it's what I hope for.

If you do this,

it's as good

as destroying everything that we have?

But it's too late now.

Not at all.

I've asked someone to take down the interview.

We'll make a new recording.

Just do as I say.

Tell them that your love life is bleak.

You yearn for love,

but you just haven't met the right guy.

Guanghan.

That's not what I meant.

I...

I'm pregnant.

It's the third month of pregnancy now.

I knew you would be surprised.

When I first found out,

I was really scared.

But the thought

of this baby being the fruit of our love,

it made me so full of courage.

So I'm giving birth to this baby.

I can quit the showbiz.

Guanghan, I know you lacked family warmth

since you were a kid.

So let's have this baby.

You, him and I

can become a warm family. All right?

This isn't the time for a relationship.

Your schedule for the next year

is all full now.

We can't afford any mistakes.

The golden career period of a female star

is very short-lived.

It'll be gone if you miss it.

Follow my plan.

Do as I say.

Let's take care of this discreetly.

I think we have a week.

One week.

When Xu Guanghan had everything arranged,

Ge Yilan suddenly disappeared.

When Xu Guanghan

found her,

it was half a year later.

That's when Ge Yilan was about to give birth,

and Xu Guanghan made his move.

As soon as the baby was born,

he told Ge Yilan

that the baby was dead.
