Chu Li.

Are these books for Mr Zhou Chuan

to sign?

May I have one?

I was notified today that

the official release date of
Book of Luo He God has been

scheduled for next month's book fair

after online and offline pre-orders.

You may queue up first.

Because the first 50 persons can get

Mr Zhou Chuan's signature.

First come, first served.

Maybe you can be
the first person to get it.

You're merciless indeed.

Are you going to send these to

Mr Zhou Chuan for him to sign?

Let me think about it.

Hello, Mr Zhou Chuan.

Could you please come over to
the editorial department

for a while to lend a hand?

[Did Yuan Yue Publishing House
not exploit you enough?]

[You even asked for foreign aid.]

[I'm busy.]

Actually I'm, asking you to sign 50 books
for your fans.

Hello there.

Hello.

Are you still on the phone?

[I'm near to Yuan Yue Publishing House.]

[I'll arrive within five minutes.]

[I'm hanging up.]

How's it?

Did Mr Zhou Chuan

agree to it right away?

He's The Gentle and Kind Mr Chuan
as always.

Ah Xiang, has Chief Editor Yu arrived yet?

Chief Editor Yu has arrived

early in the morning with Mr Xia.

They're now in the meeting room
confronting Liang Chong Lang.

Is Mr Xia back?

He's in the meeting room.

Chief Editor Yu, let's not

make any hassles.

Look, the book fair will be

organised next month.

I'm busy enough.

Let's not mention Suo Heng again
in our meeting.

She's neither famous nor talented.

Even if you give her one more chance,

would there be a miracle?

Suo Heng has

long been sick before.

As everyone knows,

she often suffers relapses recently.

It'll affect her in writing
to some extent.

But she has a good attitude.

Over the years,

she's always the first author
to submit the drafts.

You're right.

Suo Heng

has always been the first
to submit the drafts.

It's speedy, right?

My nephew

has always been

the first to submit the essays

and yet

receive failing grades.

Does it help?

Chief Editor Yu,

we don't demand speed.

It doesn't matter.

We demand quality

and sales.

Am I right?

And didn't you say that

Suo Heng is sick?

She needs to be cured.

You even asked a patient to work.

That's inhumane.

Mr Liang.

All right.

Yu Yao

looked for me overnight

and told me precisely about Suo Heng.

That's why

I came back this early.

Liang.

I've requested Director Yang

to give Suo Heng one more chance.

Even talented authors

will hit a plateau.

Jiang Yu Cheng

is one among them.

His current works are more excellent

than previous works.

Yuan Yue Publishing House

never

kick the authors

when they're down.

Mr Xia.

We didn't kick her.

She's already down.

Then let us

help her get up.

What's more,

our editors

are responsible for Suo Heng's situation.

Before this,

the chief editor and deputy editor

used to be her editor.

But there's no improvement.

Even if you gave her another chance,

who would like to be the editor?

I'd like to be her editor.

[Zhou Chuan]

Mr Zhou Chuan.

Chu Li is occupied now.

She'll be back soon.

Okay.

Was the release date of Book of Luo He God

scheduled for next month
during the book fair?

Yes, it's just been confirmed.

Are 50 signed books enough?

Should I sign 100 books?

Wouldn't you be tired

if you sign 100 books?

It's fine. As long as my fans are happy.

I won't feel tired at all.

Thank you, Mr Zhou Chuan.

Don't worry, Mr Zhou Chuan.

On that day,

I will be the first to queue up

and get your signed book.

I'll be rooting for you.

[To: Ah Xiang]

Now you're the first one.

Thank you, Mr Zhou Chuan.

Thank you, Mr Zhou Chuan.

Well, Ah Xiang.

Did Chu Li

act strangely lately?

Chu Li

acts as normal.

Didn't she

suspect one's identity?

No, everything's fine.

How about Jiang Yu Cheng?

Did he come here often recently?

Well, Mr Jiang. No.

He didn't come here recently.

Ah Xiang.

You are Chu Li's bestie.

You must always remind her that

be more attentive to her author.

I'm the one who means the most to her.

Don't be attentive to unrelated persons.

It's not worthy.

I got this.

Rest assured, Mr Zhou Chuan.

I'll advise Chu Li surely.

Girls should focus on own career.

Right?

Focus on own career.

Don't talk yet.

What's with the excitement?

Mr Xia.

As I know Director Yang well,

there must be additional conditions.

Moonlight Magazine must sign
a publishing contract

for Zhou Chuan's upcoming novel.

If Suo Heng's

instalment

don't get a good response,

the contract would be terminated.

Did you hear that?

Can you make it?

Do you still want to be the editor?

If you've pledged,

you must be responsible
for the consequences.

Think carefully.

I thought of it carefully.

I'd like to give it a try.

Give it a try?

I'll do my best surely.

Chu Li.

Are you confident?

Yes, as long as Ms Suo Heng
is confident in herself.

Okay.

Go ahead then.

Thank you for your trust.

And

Director Yang also decided to

make the blank column of
Moonlight Magazine

into Animation Column.

Animation Column?

It doesn't suit Moonlight Magazine.

It's so odd.

I don't think it's
Director Yang's idea.

It's your idea, right?

Yes, it's my idea.

What's wrong?

Chief Editor Yu, don't you think about it?

Why didn't Director Yang

approve any of your ideas

but mine?

The reason is simple.

All my ideas are for the sake of

Yuan Yue Publishing House.

I have a clear conscience.

If you want to help Suo Heng,

follow the rules then.

All right.

As Director Yang said so,

let's do it then.

That's all for Suo Heng's matter.

Chu Li.

Guide Suo Heng well.

I've been an editor for years.

I'll give you an advice.

Keep your promise, don't let others down.

That's how your life works.

I got it.

You've off work.

What are you writing?

Mr Xia agreed that
I'm in charge of Suo Heng.

Did Suo Heng agree to it?

So, I'm now thinking about

how to cheer her up.

How about me?

What?

Someone used to beg me

to be my exclusive editor.

And yet now

mother duck has two more ducklings
to take care of.

I didn't mention I'm the exclusive editor.

Did you just say that you're a duckling?

What's in your mind

exactly?

It's not the way home.

Where are you going to bring me to

on this bright day?

Grip the racket like this.

When you see the ball,

swing the racket.

Do you get it?

♫ What time is it?
You are still sleeping? ♫

You're making it difficult for me.

♫ Chopping wood, keeping a dog, working ♫

Are you taking revenge on me?

It's for the sake of writing.

♫ Where did I stop yesterday? ♫

I need a girl with zero experience

to practise the skills.

♫ I can replay my feelings ♫

Is Huang Quan Inn a novel about sports?

♫ Daydreaming in the dark of night ♫

Look at the ball.

Do like this.

Swing it. You got it?

♫ Chasing after you beyond the universe ♫

It's easier said than done.

♫ Be a darling in the gorgeous castle ♫

♫ It's not like this ♫

♫ Oh, waiting for your signal, hello ♫

♫ My cutie is here ♫

Look carefully.

♫ We have a date online and offline ♫

Swing it like this.

One, two, three. Go.

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is calling ♫

♫ Specialise in treating
charming laziness ♫

I'm sorry.

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is calling ♫

I told you to aim the target.

♫ I simply treat you as the role model ♫

Is your target my face?

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is calling ♫

♫ I fell in love with a mischief-maker ♫

Now I started to know the fun of
playing squash.

Although both my arms are sore,

I feel amazingly good.

Of course you are.

No one dares to hit my face

except Jiang Yu Cheng

and you.

Mr Zhou Chuan.

You're good at writing

and also playing squash.

How could you

be good at everything you learnt?

♫ Those long nights I have ♫

It's simple.

♫ The inspiration going after us ♫

Attention and persistence.

A strong-willed person

will succeed in everything.

♫ Longing is always more than tears ♫

You may meet problems

and be down sometimes.

But you won't

♫ The exclusive, limited edition romance ♫

take defeat lying down.

♫ Daydreams chasing the nightdreams ♫

So, it means that

♫ I chase you
all the way to the universe ♫

even if she's down

sometimes,

♫ Be a good baby if you want to
live in the splendid castle ♫

she'll pull herself together

as long as she regains will.

♫ It's not like this ♫

♫ Oh, waiting for your signal, hello ♫

Maybe.

Why do you say so?

♫ My cutie is here ♫

I mean, I can pull myself together.

♫ We have a date online and offline ♫

But there's only one of me in the world.

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is here ♫

You mean

there are two types of people
in the world.

♫ Specialise in treating
charming laziness ♫

You and the others.

Well said.

Let's have dinner outside.

Oh no.

I forgot that I have a dinner date
with Mr Jiang.

We're going to watch the finale together.

I'll go on behalf of you.

I always have to discuss the plot
with him after all.

You may go home and

think about Suo Heng's matter.

Are you in a hurry?

It's fine.

I've met him.

Go ahead. Bye.

If you want to discuss the finale,
look for me then.

Why did you ask a monkey out?

Are you on purpose?

You're the one who's on purpose.

Discuss the finale?

You're actually asking a girl out

to dinner and the cinema.

I know she rejected you.

Don't struggle anymore.

How would I

show you my finale?

But I lack inspiration

for some parts.

Are you going to follow me
the whole night?

Do you want to meet the monkey without me?

No matter what you do,

I'll follow you the whole night.

Why should I ride this with you?

Don't interrupt.

You just said

Chu Li suspects that you're Mr Fox.

But you insisted

and denied.

Three years ago,

since I first knew her online,

I made up my mind

never to

meet online friends.

You dare not to admit, aren't you?

She must have known your dark past.

Why would I have dark past?

I'm so innocent throughout my life.

Even every strand of my hair is white.

Even if I don't have hair, it's white.

If you ever laugh again,

I'd beat you up in a sack.

Hey, buddy.

Watch your mouth.

Don't you see

there are kids

all around us?

Kiddy.

Listen to me.

Never fight when you grow up.

You'll either be sent to jail
or the hospital.

Never ever fight.

Zhou Chuan.

I want to ask

who you regard Chu Li as.

As mine.

Are you asking why

I denied that I'm Mr Fox?

I'm not afraid actually.

I think that

since I know her in person,

it doesn't matter if

she knows Mr Fox is me.

You didn't answer my question.

I'm asking for you,

Chu Li is

either your editor or online friend

or the girl you adore.

For me...

Why should I tell you?

Alright then.

I'm going to woo Chu Li.

You don't have any objection, right?

I do have.

I mean

she's so naive.

What if she got cheated by you

and I couldn't

contact her anyhow?

She'd be broken-hearted

and return to her hometown.

What should I do then?

You're always

being so objectionable.

You like something

but you always deny it.

I don't understand what you said.

Have you ever thought that

the person Chu Li likes is

neither you nor me?

Did she get to know someone else?

Why don't I know?

It's impossible.

She doesn't have time for that.

Chu Li rejected me because

she likes her online friend,

Mr Fox.

Mr Fox?

Chu Li likes Mr Fox?

Yes.

No way.

All right.

It's better that you don't admit
you're Mr Fox.

Then both of us

are on the same starting point.

Let's do well on our own.

Both of us?

I have to settle something for my store.

I'll get going.

You can continue to ride.

I...

I...

I can't...

Mr Fox?

Why didn't I find out

that she likes Mr Fox?

Didn't I joke about

having an online relationship?

And yet she told me to get out.

She likes someone

but still asked me if I like her.

Can't I have my first love

at 27?

Between Zhou Chuan and Mr Fox,

she chose Mr Fox.

What's wrong with her taste?

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[I'm falling for a girl secretly.]

[I'm upset until I couldn't sleep.]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkey]

[You have someone you like?]

Yes, Mr Fox has a girlfriend.

Don't ever think about this
online relationship again.

You're still awake?

I couldn't sleep.

[It seems she knew Mr Fox
is falling in love.]

[She's broken-hearted.]

You seem to have many troubles.

We all

meet troubles in life.

All of them shall pass.

It'd be fine after some while.

I'll go upstairs then.

Good night.

Hello, Mr Jiang.

Sure.

Alright, let's meet tomorrow.

[Not Drama King, it's Saviour]

[A song that is suitable for]

[someone who is down and couldn't sleep.]

[You'll fall asleep as you listen to it.]

♫ A star must have fallen from the sky ♫

♫ I knew my mind in a sea of people ♫

♫ I forgot how to fly as I want to approach ♫

♫ It's a heart-throbbing off-season ♫

♫ Where has the paper plane been? ♫

♫ The scenery has been ruined
unknowingly ♫

♫ I believe you who have the most stories ♫

♫ Are willing to speak your mind to me ♫

Come in.

Chief Editor Yu, please have a look.

After I compared

the readership of some authors,

I realised the readers are mostly women

for authors like Ms Suo Heng

who wrote about ancient strategy.

They are well-educated and older.

And yet they're also loyal readers.

You can get straight to the point.

How about

we organise a small-scale reading salon

for Ms Suo Heng?

Has Mr Zhou Chuan signed the contract
for his novel?

I'll try to settle Suo Heng's matter.

What's more important is

for Mr Zhou Chuan to sign the contract
for his upcoming novel.

Chief Editor Yu, I'll ensure Mr Zhou Chuan

signs the contract for his upcoming novel.

But I think it's more important

to help people now.

It's fine if Ms Suo Heng
doesn't write anymore

and not be our author.

But I can't let her

be discouraged

and hopeless in life.

Chief Editor Yu, I saw Ms Suo Heng

working in a restaurant yesterday.

Ms Suo Heng.

Did you get better today?

Can we meet

when you're free?

Chu Li.

Mr Jiang.

I watched the finale

you sent to me.

It's awesome.

I'm saying this again.

This book will mark your new peak indeed.

Thank you.

This meal is on me.

We didn't get to

have a good meal because of Zhou Chuan.

No, it's fine.

I didn't attend too when you asked me

to discuss about the finale.

I'm really sorry about that.

Alright then.

Let's chat while eating.

Pardon me, two glasses of water please.

We're ready to order.

Here you go.

Ms Suo Heng.

Why are you here?

I'm working here.

I need to earn money after all.

Let's go back to
Yuan Yue Publishing House.

Don't help me again.

I'm not going back.

I can't be an author.

It's all right.

There're many ways to live a life.

We don't have to stick to one way.

I'm so sorry, Miss.

This is her first day of work.

Apologize to the guest, quick.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

She made the wrong order

and even spilt the water.

Chu Li.

It'd be more embarrassing
if you follow her.

Let's sit first.

Are you persistent with every author?

It's different for Ms Suo Heng.

She gave up her all-time dream

and insistence.

Is there anything I can help with?

That's why I think

the priority is

to help Ms Suo Heng regain confidence.

I know

they won't approve this budget.

But I asked my friend.

And there's a venue that

can be rented to us for free.

Chief Editor Yu, do you have

the contact numbers of
some regular readers?

Chu Li.

I don't agree with you.

Why?

If only a few people appear,

it'd hit Suo Heng harder.

Or do you intend to invite
some other people?

Suo Heng

can tell it right away.

I don't intend to do so.

Ms Suo Heng used to say that

if her regular readers

and best friends who fought together

don't give up on her,

she'll have the courage to go on.

She won't agree.

Actually, I think so as well.

But I don't want to give up.

I believe Ms Suo Heng and you

feel the same too.

I still want to try my best.

Chu Li.

I'm sorry.

My regular customer wants to
organise a birthday party

in my bookstore.

So you have to

use my friend's place.

It's okay.

Anyway, thank you for

helping me find a place.

And it's even free of charge.

I hope Ms Suo Heng can
restore her ambition

like you used to be.

I believe she would.

Oh, right.

Are you free this weekend night?

My friend offered me two movie tickets.

Do you want to go with me?

Go to the cinema?

Okay.

Tang, Mr Maurer has replied to the email.

At the book fair,

he'll show up at Xin Dun Books's booth

to promote Un Oiseau Effray E.

That's great!

Just leave the rest to us.

How about Yun Fei?

How's his progress?

Yun Fei submitted the drafts in time
these days.

He's not like usual.

Why didn't he meet you these days?

He should be writing at home
since he's an author.

You're right.

Oh, right.

Ms Sui San Duo

offered you two movie tickets.

It's on Saturday night.

You can invite your friend

and have a good rest.

You can have them.

My friend and I have other activity.

You should have friends who
love watching movies.

Duo Duo.

I got the tickets. Thank you.

Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner.

[Movie tickets]

Chu Li.

Ms Suo Heng.

Develop story ideas.

Film script.

You can tell one's personality

from one's bookshelf.

My bookshelf is the same as me myself.

Boring.

You're not.

During the Interactive Cultural Festival,

I saw one of your drafts.

A lady in the Song Dynasty suddenly
wanted to divorce

and started farming.

It's interesting indeed.

I wrote it randomly.

You can see it as waste paper.

It's not.

I think

it's an excellent draft.

Chu Li.

I've told you not to

convince me again.

I'm not here to convince you.

I want to invite you to an event.

What event is it?

It's a small-scale reading salon

to celebrate your 10th anniversary.

For me?

Why don't I know?

Now you know it.

It's tomorrow.

The sharing theme is
Golden Spears and Armoured Horses.

Not many people will come.

But they're all your regular readers
over the decade.

They laughed and cried

over your novels.

They fought for you against others.

In other words,

they're strangers who know you the best.

I think

it's not convenient for me.

I have an interview tomorrow.

These are the surveys when
you stayed at Yuan Yue Books

over the decade.

Those who support you
are always by your side.

All of us will wait for you on that day.

[10th Anniversary of Yuan Yue's author
Suo Heng Readers' Survey]

[Hello, Ms Suo Heng.
I'm your fans, Xiao Yue...]

Mr Jiang, I just reached home.

The venue has been set up.

Thank you for asking Xiao Bai to help out.

Okay, bye.

What venue?

How is it related to Jiang?

I want to organise a meet-and-greet

for Ms Suo Heng.

Mr Jiang asked his friend

and rented me a place for free.

How kind.

Why didn't he offer me a discount
for my meet-and-greet?

Mr Zhou Chuan.

You're free tomorrow, right?

Could you please

attend the event

so that there're more people?

It's her meet-and-greet.

Why should I attend?
I've never read her books.

I'm afraid if

Ms Suo Heng doesn't show up,

her readers will beat me up.

So, if Ms Suo Heng doesn't show up,

I can appear

so you won't be hit.

You think too much.

I think if you show up,

maybe you can protect me
from some punches.

There won't be a riot.

There're not many readers.

But you'll become the laughing stock.

She didn't even agree,

and yet you organised the event.

To be honest,

what should I do

if Ms Suo Heng

doesn't show up?

Don't worry. She'll show up.

Why are you so sure?

My intuition as an author told me.

Alright then.

You're talking nonsense

but I did

feel comforted.

I'm going to prepare for tomorrow.

Good night.

Did Duo Duo ask you out?

Duo Duo asked me out.

It's what she will do indeed.

She told me there's another friend.

I didn't expect it's you.

Duo Duo is also my friend.

I received the things you sent.

Our journey has ended.

Who will you start a new journey with?

Is it Chu Li?

It has nothing to do with you.

The journey has yet to start.

But at least I met her.

I guess it's a good starting point.

Tell Duo Duo that I'll leave first.

I'm sorry.

I'll get some napkins for you.

Put on my coat.

I don't want it.

Mr Jiang.

Didn't you return all the things to me?

Don't you want to avoid anything
related to me?

Just leave me alone.

I'll tell Duo Duo about it.

Be careful.

[Golden Spears and Armoured Horses
Suo Heng's 10th Anniversary Sharing]

There're quite a lot of people.

Yes.

Xiao Bai.

Arrange there later.

It can fit more people.

[Golden Spears and Armoured Horses
Suo Heng's 10th Anniversary Sharing]

Chu Li.

It'll start in 15 minutes.

Where is Suo Heng?

She...

Tell me frankly.

Did she say she would come?

Ms Suo Heng

didn't answer clearly.

You don't understand her indeed.

She definitely won't come.

There're 10 minutes left. Let's wait.

Let me tell you.

Many people came all along

from other places.

Some are her regular readers.

If Suo Heng don't come,

those readers would be
disappointed in her.

Why do you want to

ruin her reputation?

I don't.

I just want to take a chance.

I bet Ms Suo Heng won't give up

on her all-time career.

She won't let those who like her down.

I'm telling you...

Chief Editor Yu.

The readers inside will hear you

if you raise your voice.

Mr Zhou Chuan, why are you here?

There's only some time left.

If Suo Heng doesn't want to come,

we can do nothing.

Let's trust her for once.

It's a bit stuffy here.

Shall we go out for a while?

Let's be calm.

Xiao Yao, don't go out!

I'm sorry.

He's too naughty.

It's hard to control him.

Xiao Yao, apologize to her.

I'm sorry.

His name is Xiao Yao?

Ms Suo Heng, you're finally here.

Ms Suo Heng.

Oh dear, finally I got to meet you.

You're my idol for a decade.

My husband and I knew each other

because of your book,

Golden Spears and Armoured Horses.

Xiao Yao,

your name was given by Aunt.

Say thank you to Aunt Suo Heng.

Thank you, Aunt.

You're welcome, Little Xiao Yao.

Ms Suo Heng, let's go in.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Okay.

[Reading Salon
Suo Heng's 10th Anniversary Sharing]

Ah Xiang, Xiao Bai

and I decorated here for you.

Due to the space restriction,

we made use of every wall here.

Thank you, Chu Li.

[Reading Salon
Suo Heng's 10th Anniversary Sharing]

Suo Heng is here, look!

Good morning all.

Thank you so much

for attending

the reading salon of Ms Suo Heng.

Today is the 10th debut anniversary
of Ms Suo Heng.

Fate gathers all of us

here today.

We don't have much time together.

I hope everyone can have

good memories.

Now let's invite

Ms Suo Heng

to do the sharing.

Thank you all for attending.

I can't speak well,

especially in front of a crowd.

I just want to say that

thank you all for coming.

Thank you all for remembering me.

We will never forget you.

We'll be waiting for you
for the next decade.

Waiting for your new book.

-Right?
-Yes.

Waiting for your new book. Cheer up!

We will always support you.

You're the best! Keep it up!

She won the bet.

Suo Heng did come.

I thought

I know her the best.

Mr Zhou Chuan.

Can we discuss a matter?

How strange.

Where have Chief Editor Yu and
Mr Zhou Chuan been?

Why don't they answer the phone?

Chu Li.

Ms Suo Heng.

Have you taken a photo
with Little Xiao Yao?

I know

I've been saying this to you.

But still I want to say.

Thank you, Chu Li.

I just saw my regular readers.

Suddenly I felt that

it wasn't that tough in writing.

It wasn't me.

Actually, those readers were contacted

by Chief Editor Yu

one by one.

The ideas for the posters

were also provided by her.

She keeps all the things

related to you.

She has been helping you out.

But she doesn't want to let you know.

She never gave up on you.

The company decided to

offer you a new instalment.

It's because she went to
meet Mr Xia overnight.

And finally, they approved.

Why don't you go inside?

Chief Editor Yu, Ms Suo Heng...

Chief Editor Yu.

Thank you.

Well, that's...

Don't say anything.

I knew it.

I knew many past things,

actually.

But I'm not mad at these.

As I knew that you gave up on me

because you were pregnant,

I was not mad anymore.

I was delighted that

Sis Yao Yao was going to have a baby.

How would the baby look like?

I've been waiting for you to say that

you're not giving up on me
because I'm terrible.

It's been so many years.

You still didn't say so.

Suo Heng.

I'm sorry.

Don't say so.

Although you say so,

I knew that

you don't regard me as
your bestie anymore.

That's why you kept all the things

to yourself

and never told me.

I don't know how to mention it to you.

I'm really sorry.

Don't apologize.

It's alright.

It's all over.

It's been a long time.

It's all over for us too.

Ms Suo Heng.

How was it?

Chief Editor Yu.

Chu Li.

From now on,

I'll leave Suo Heng

to you.

Did both of you...
