This is great!

Chief Editor Yu and Ms Suo Heng finally reconciled.

What are you doing?

Give it back to me!

I have to tell her to take care of herself.

You're indeed the Mama Duck.

She's my author.

It's my job to care for her.

I'm also your author.

Yet you weren't

so concerned about me when I was writing.

Speaking of that,

I've got some ideas for your new work,

Huang Quan Inn.

Hold on.

I've never said that

you'll be the editor of Huang Quan Inn.

Take a look at my proposal.

I'm sure you'll know

that I'm your best choice.

I've drawn up a detailed plan

regarding the illustrator and the book cover.

You're well-prepared.

You even carry it around with you.

You've prepared a lot.

It's good enough to be published already.

This is my brand new sincerity.

What's brand new sincerity?

Since every work is different,

I shall show my fresh sincerity for them.

I'll treat it as though it's my first time

being your editor.

I'll do my best.

Why are you so eager to

be the editor of Huang Quan Inn?

A lot of people are eager to do so.

Is that so?

Is that the only reason?

Also...

[If Drama King knows that I'm eager]

[to sign him up]

[for the sake of other author,]

[it'll definitely hurt his pride.]

Also, it's such a great honour

to be your editor.

Are you sure?

It's a compliment. Why are you leaving?

As expected from Ms Suo Heng.

It only took her half a day

to come up with three different topics.

Hello, Chief Editor Yu.

Did you receive the topics from Suo Heng?

Yes, I'm looking at them.

[Send a copy to Mr Xia.]

[By the way,]

I've asked Mr Zhou Chuan.

[I told him that I wish to sign him up]

[so that Suo Heng gets the chance to publish in our magazine again.]

Mr Zhou Chuan is very generous.

He doesn't have any hard feelings.

[And he understood that.]

You told him everything?

Mr Zhou Chuan is a smart man.

Rather than being told by someone with ulterior motives,

he might as well hear it from us.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

I know you've had a long day

and so I prepared

a fruit platter that is double in size.

I don't want it if you cut it like this.

What do you mean?

It's the common way to cut apples.

I'm sorry,

Mr Zhou Chuan.

For not telling you about Ms Suo Heng.

I was afraid you'd misunderstand.

About what?

Do I seem petty to you?

No, not at all.

Even if it weren't because of Ms Suo Heng,

I'm genuinely interested

to sign you up for your book.

You're scraping off my scalp!

I have to focus on the ending of

Huang Quan Inn these two days.

Don't knock on my door.

Don't even call me at mealtime.

Leave the food at the door.

I'll open the door when I'm hungry.

Sir,

who will be the editor for Huang Quan Inn?

The insolent little editor

who can't stop talking about

her brand new sincerity.

Really? Thank you, Mr Zhou Chuan!

So sweet.

[Yuan Yue Publishing House]

The topic of Six Eared Macaque

is Suo Heng's idea?

Yes.

It's completely different from

the other two topics.

It broke the usual setting of light novel

that the female writers in Moonlight Magazine

have always adhered.

Personally, I think this is a great idea.

I like that.

It visualizes

the conflicts between Taoism

and Buddhism.

Ask her if she can

further explain the saying

"The dharma is not to be transmitted to the sixth ear".

Sure, I'll give her the message.

Thank you, Mr Xia.

Mr Xia, I think Suo Heng's

story outline is good enough

even if we don't

sign Mr Zhou Chuan up for his new book.

It can definitely meet

the criteria

of Moonlight Magazine.

Indeed, the only way to shut everybody up

is to show them the work.

Although we manage to

save Suo Heng

by signing up Zhou Chuan,

her only means of survival

is to rely on herself.

I've got some good news for you.

Mr Zhou Chuan has agreed that

I'll be the editor of his new work.

Really?

Yes, we'll sign the contract

once he finishes his book.

Maybe after the book fair.

That's great!

Push forward the progress

as Chinese New Year is

right after the book fair.

Prepare the contract quickly.

Okay.

By the way,

what's our progress on the book fair?

Director Yang has ordered

that the book fair

must have total sales

of 2 million yuan,

which are 20% higher than the previous year's sales.

We have to fight a tough battle.

Don't worry about the book fair.

We've already started on it.

But I wonder what the circulation department

will come up with

to boost the sales.

Hold on.

That's their job.

All we need to do is to try our best to cooperate.

But you must remember,

circulation and editorial department

are not enemies,

but friends.

I understand.

Since Mr Xia said so,

let's try to get along with them.

Chief Editor Yu.

Congratulations.

Suo Heng is finally back.

But here's a gentle reminder.

Don't forget Director Yang's condition.

Mr Zhou Chuan has agreed

that I'll be the editor of his book.

There's no proof.

Where's the contract?

Mr Liang,

the book fair is around the corner.

You should be taking charge of the work in your department.

Why did you keep coming to our department?

I know Director Yang gave you some privileges,

but you're taking it too far.

Chief Director Yu, don't take this the wrong way.

Mr Liang is here to

talk about the book fair with me.

And you, Miao.

What's written on the staff card

hanging around your neck?

Deputy editor of the second section of editorial department.

I'm the chief editor.

Mr Liang should have

come to me

instead of you.

Chief Editor Yu,

you have a very strong hierarchical sense.

That's some feudal dross. It's no good.

We're all doing our job.

Does it matter who is the chief

or deputy editor?

Mr Liang, I'm shocked you'd ask.

You said it yourself,

that nothing can be done without rules.

Did you forget it?

Yes,

I don't care about the hierarchy

of authority at all.

I know the only rule that an editor has to follow

is to take care of the authors.

Okay, Chief Editor Yu, I got it.

Xiao Niao,

and you.

You and Chu Li joined us not long ago.

You must never act like

a brown-noser or take an opportunistic approach.

I understand, Chief Editor Yu.

Impressive.

Chief Editor Yu, that's so cool.

Kiddos,

your leader is so nice that

she instructs and gives you sincere advice every day.

You'd certainly succeed.

I see greatness in all of you!

I'm so jealous.

How great it is.

Mr Liang, just a gentle reminder.

Don't eat too much chocolate.

You'll get grouchy.

You went a little too far.

Where's your manner?

Mr Liang, wait for me.

Chief Editor Yu, that was so cool.

Everyone said you're just like me when I was young.

But I think you look nothing like me.

How is that possible?

I can never be as good as you.

You're much better than me.

Did I just get a compliment from Chief Editor Yu?

Ms Suo Heng,

you changed your style.

I could barely recognize you.

I'm taking this opportunity

to turn into a whole new person.

Right,

I had a meeting with Chief Editor Yu and Mr Xia.

All of us think that the third topic

is very interesting.

Especially Mr Xia.

He has a message for you.

He asked if you can further explain the saying...

The dharma...

The dharma is not to be transmitted to the sixth ear?

Yes, the dharma is not to be transmitted to the sixth ear.

Do you have a new interpretation?

I thought you wouldn't

pick this topic.

You said that nobody would like it

if it's not a fluff

romance novel.

Who says you can't sense the charisma from a document?

I can clearly see

the bold text

on all the three documents

you sent me.

Pick me!

I know

you want to write about this, right?

I've thought it all out.

Even if you decline

all the three topics

and I can

no longer publish my work in Moonlight Magazine,

I'd never give up.

I'm going to keep doing this

until

I manage to write something incredible.

I don't want my readers

to be disappointed.

I wonder if I have the chance to

participate in the making of this masterpiece.

In my opinion,

the utmost requirement

to reach your goal

is your passion in writing.

So...

Good luck, Ms Suo Heng!

Thanks, Chu Li.

One more thing.

As a matter of fact, Chief Editor Yu has always cared for you.

I know that.

But so many years have passed.

I don't know what to say

when I see her again.

Anyway, we are in a good place now.

We get to live our own lives

without resentments

and misunderstandings.

And we won't impose a burden

on one another.

I was relying too heavily on her.

But now I know better.

Only you

can solve your own problems.

Going out late at night?

I have

a movie date with Mr Jiang.

I have to work hard at home

while you're on a movie date with a guy?

Stop making me look like

a heartless rat who is having an affair.

You're working hard for the sake of yourself.

Say that again?

Mr Zhou Chuan,

I'm sorry.

I know you're working very hard.

Just leave the plates on the table

when you're done.

I'll wash them when I'm back.

Thanks for your hard work.

Hello.

[Hey, Gu Bai Zhi.]

[Do you have movie tickets?]

You're not making any sense. Buy it yourself.

I want a particular seat.

[Jiang Yu Cheng went for a movie]

[with my editor.]

They are dating behind my back.

I didn't know that until now.

What does it have to do with me?

[Cut it out.]

I asked her already.

They are going to watch Sui San Duo's movie.

[I know you guys are]

close with Sui San Duo.

I'm sure you have the ticket

for the seat next to Jiang Yu Cheng.

See you at the gate in five minutes.

I'm hanging up. Bye.

Here.

Thanks.

You must have lots of work.

You keep checking your phone.

No, it's Mr Zhou Chuan.

He kept asking about the movie

ever since I left the house.

I didn't know he's interested

in literary film.

I guess he's worried about you.

What should he worry about?

We are not strangers to one another.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Director Gu?

Mr Zhou Chuan?

You're here for the movie too?

Move over, please.

That's my seat.

I don't want to.

Sit with the person who came with you.

I wasn't talking to you.

Did you not hear me?

Sit with the person who came with you.

I'm sitting next to you.

Are you here with me?

You don't have to come.

You think you own the cinema?

Why should I listen to you?

I'm going to sit here anyway.

This is the centre of the theatre.

It's the best spot.

All these four seats are in the centre.

Do you have a cast in one eye

or what?

Why are you fighting for the centre position?

Are you here to walk the red carpet?

I can tell that from his clothes.

You guys keep moving around.

Are you done with the discussion?

The movie is starting soon.

Fine, get up.

Chu Li, let me send you home.

Zhou Chuan's been working on his book.

I'm afraid he's too tired to drive.

I'll go get the car.

We need to talk about work on the way home.

Zhou Chuan is still willing to talk about work at night.

You're doing a good job as his editor.

It's nothing.

I didn't expect that Ms Sui San Duo's movie

is talking about two people who met online.

They dated online for three years

but they never met each other in person.

You've known Mr Fox for three years

and you've never met him in person too.

I asked him to come out but he refused...

[How come Mr Jiang Yu Cheng]

[knows that I've known Mr Fox for three years?]

Don't just stand there. Hop in.

Jiang Yu Chen,

you'll send Gu Bai Zhi back to her home.

Get in the car quickly.

Coming!

I'll get going then.

Drive slowly.

Is it okay for you? Forget it if it's not.

Let's go.

♫ They say strange things and keep rapport ♫

How did you know I like this song?

I don't know.

But I like this song too.

How is that possible?

You must have peeped my playlist.

♫ Guileless adults are reduced to a joke ♫

Grow up.

Did you?

No.

♫ Unceasingly ♫

Sorry.

When are you going home?

Have you bought your ticket?

So tired already?

Why are you still awake at this hour?

I couldn't sleep.

What's the problem?

Mr Zhou Chuan,

I suspect that

Mr Jiang is Mr Fox.

What?

Right,

I should have figured it out.

Mr Fox's full name

is The Disappearing Mr Fox.

And Mr Jiang's masterpiece

is the Disappearing Series.

How did you link them together?

Think about it.

There's no one in the world

who knows you more than Jiang Yu Cheng.

If there's someone who can

easily mimic

your writing style,

it must be none other than him.

This is so easy.

I should have figured it out.

Say that again?

Easily mimic Zhou Chuan's writing style?

Who are you kidding?

Who can mimic me?

Jiang Yu Cheng?

And I shamelessly boasted

that Mr Fox is my boyfriend.

I made fun of the illustrators and authors

in front of him every day

because I thought he's an outsider.

Besides, I spoke ill about you

in front of him all the time.

Don't be silly.

I'm...

You knew about it, didn't you?

That's why you could deny that

you're Mr Fox

in such a strong way.

I've been busting my ass to sell your book

and yet you and Mr Jiang chose to

keep this huge secret hidden from me.

Don't you feel ashamed at all?

I...

What did I know?

No wonder.

Even though I told him I like Mr Fox,

he wouldn't stop pursuing me.

Turns out they are the same person.

Which means we like each other then.

Are you...

You used to think that I'm Mr Fox,

how come

you never thought we like each other?

Didn't we do this and that stuff

when we were drunk?

We agreed

not to mention it again!

Besides, unlike Mr Jiang,

you've never confessed to me.

Right!

So you're far too excited

to sleep now, is it?

You're going to

confess to Jiang Yu Cheng tomorrow

and tell him you like him, is it?

This...

Why are you getting all worked up?

Where are you going at this hour?

Who is it?

Jiang Yu Cheng!

What did you tell Chu Li behind my back?

She's so convinced that you're Mr Fox!

I have no idea.

She didn't ask my anything.

She went for a movie with you and

came back convinced that you're Mr Fox.

It's not like the old days

where you can just swap in

and pretend to be me.

Calm down.

I didn't get to tell

Chu Li anything

before you came with Gu Bai Zhi.

I...

I don't care!

I want an explanation!

What's the reason?

When you went to get your car...

You've known Mr Fox for three years

and you've never met him in person too.

She's never told me

how long you've known each other.

Could it be because of this?

Jiang Yu Cheng, did you do it on purpose?

So that she'll think you're Mr Fox?

Do you think I'd do that?

I'd never win her heart even if I did.

She thinks you're Mr Fox now

and we're just messing with her.

Not only am I replaced by you,

I also become your partner in crime.

You're not my partner in crime.

You're the main perpetrator.

Aren't you Mr Fox?

I'm the innocent one here.

Why don't I go talk to her and clear up the misconceptions?

If I choose to confess,

it will work in my favour.

No! How dare you!

If Chu Li were to ask

if you're Mr Fox,

you must never admit it!

Understand?

No.

Enjoy your food.

I have to go somewhere.

Where are you going so early?

Sit down.

Sir,

the Book of Luo He God launch day.

Don't you want to take a look?

No.

It's so crowded. Why should I?

To see how well your books are sold.

I'm not going.

You want breakfast?

Cut it out.

I know what you're thinking.

You're still wondering if

Jiang Yu Cheng is Mr Fox, right?

Did you ask him in person?

Not yet.

I feel perturbed.

What if

he really is Mr Fox?

You think this is a gashapon machine?

Insert a coin and you'll get a boyfriend

who is tall and handsome?

Jiang Yu Cheng is 33 years old,

pushing toward his 40s.

Do you know what it's like?

It means when you were

just a baby waiting to be fed,

he was already learning 300 Tang Poems in school.

What boyfriend?

Do you still wish to deny it?

Why are you blushing then?

Give him a call right now

and clear things up.

No need.

Mr Jiang and I are going to

meet at his house to talk about this.

His house?

Do you know where he lives?

I can give you a lift.

He sent me the address.

I can go by myself.

Bye.

I...

You're here.

Come in.

Thanks, Mr Jiang.

When I heard you on the phone,

I thought I had interrupted your rest.

I didn't sleep well last night.

Have a seat.

Sir,

I've got a question for you.

Are you

Mr Fox?

This won't do.

Chu Li is a sitting duck.

If Jiang decides

to admit that he's Mr Fox,

what am I going to do then?

Or, if he tells Chu Li

that I'm Mr Fox,

things will get even more difficult for me.

Chu Li is going to hate me so much.

You think it's risky too, right?

That's what I thought!

This won't do.

I need to check on her.

[Little Monkey]

[Saviour]

[Little Monkey]

Thank you.

[Saviour]

[Saviour]

[Why would you think]

[that I'm Mr Fox?]

I've never told you that

[I've known Mr Fox for three years]

but you blurted it out yesterday.

Chu Li,

what are you going to do

if I'm really Mr Fox?

I told you before,

I like Mr Fox.

[And if you're Mr Fox,]

[I have to...]

Get together with me?

[What is Jiang Yu Cheng trying to do?]

[Saviour]

It got disconnected?

[Little Monkey]

[Hello.]

[The number you've dialled is unavailable.]

Your words

are tempting me into

admitting that I'm Mr Fox.

But I don't want to lie to you.

I'm not.

How did you know

about Mr Fox and me then?

I saw your post on Weibo last year.

You talked about an online friend

that you've known for two years.

I see.

If you like a girl,

you want to know everything about her.

But I've never thought about

pretending to be someone else

to win your favour.

Besides, you'll know who

Mr Fox is sooner or later.

What's that supposed to mean?

Chu Li,

are you rather disappointed

or happy when you know that

I'm not Mr Fox?

Mr Jiang,

whether you're Mr Fox or not,

you'll always be my favourite author.

Jiang Yu Cheng.

Are you out of your mind?

What do you mean she has to get together with you?

You're a punk! Scumbag! Little rat!

Try the coffee.

He hung up on me?

Too late. She left already.

I'm not here looking for her.

I'm here because of you.

I told her everything.

That's bad, Little Zhou.

It's too light. You can't even kill a mosquito.

Let me show you how to do it.

Great.

Okay.

Go on.

Come on.

You should go all out too.

Sure. Come on.

I'll show you a trick.

Flying Scissors Kick!

Pressing from above!

Time out.

I'm exhausted.

I have to take the call.

Hello?

[Hi, sir.]

[I'm calling from Fitness Center.]

[We're having promotion now.]

[Are you interested?]

No!

Who's that?

Cold call.

Well?

Shall we continue?

Let me drink some water.

Have you ever thought of

the reason why you always get all worked up

when Chu Li is involved?

Never.

I told her

I'm not Mr Fox.

You like Chu Li, right?

I don't know.

You're stubborn.

You need a good beating.

Well then, let's do it again.

I want a drink too.

I'm out.

From now onward,

Chu Li is nothing but an editor.

Why did you come round to the idea all of a sudden?

You're my little brother after all.

A piece of advice for you.

You better tell Chu Li earlier

that you're Mr Fox.

It will not end well if she

were to figure it out.

Clean up

the blood on your lips.

Here, you should clean up too.

You're back.

Are you

injured?

Who did you fight with?

I slipped and fell over.

Seems like you landed on your face.

It hurts, right?

You deserve it for fighting.

Are you punishing me right now?

I'm teaching you on behalf of your mother.

Aren't you acting like Mama Duck?

You did it on purpose.

You take it out on me

now that you know Jiang Yu Cheng isn't Mr Fox.

How did you know he's not Mr Fox?

I made a guess.

Why?

Are you sad that

he's not?

I've mistaken two people for him,

shouldn't I be sad?

Actually,

I...

Forget it, I don't care now.

Maybe you were right.

He's just a kid

who's still in school.

By the way,

when are you going home for Chinese New Year?

Chinese New Year's Eve.

That's great! We still have time.

Let's sign

the contract after the book fair.

You seem so eager to do that.

I just can't wait to go home.

You like Chinese New Year?

Of course!

The dinner one Chinese New Year's Eve are so delicious!

Just the thought of the pork knuckle,

chicken soup,

lots of fish and meat

and Eight Treasure Rice

at reunion dinner make me drool.

[Book of Luo He God Is Going On Sale.]

[The Most Influential Book of 2019 Was Born.]

Here.

Our company still cares about

the Book of Luo He God a lot

that they decide to release the book today.

[Book of Luo He God Is Going On Sale.]

Look at the slogan.

So powerful.

[The Most Influential Book of 2019 Was Born.]

"The Book of Luo He God is going on sale."

"The most influential book of 2019

was born."

Their slogan is simple and crude as usual.

Move it over.

Put it here.

[Un Oiseau Effray E]

[World-renowned Writer & Director - Maurer]

Maurer?

Xin Dun Books has invited Maurer.

Half an hour signing session for Un Oiseau Effray E.

Aside from Un Oiseau Effray E,

Maurer will release two other

movie-to-book adaptations worldwide.

The books are translated into 16 languages.

Xin Dun Books has already bought the copyright of one of the books.

If Zhou Chuan knows that

Maurer's display board is right next to his,

he'd be so happy that he'll write 30,000 words a day.

Mr Zhou Chuan has great respect for Maurer.

He's totally obsessed with him.

He can recite

all the lines from two movies.

One of them is Lion King.

And the other one

is Maurer's movie, Virgo.

Every time he travels abroad,

he will look for Maurer's CDs.

He has a drawer full of his CDs

under his TV cabinet.

How come she knows so much

about Mr Zhou Chuan's house?

He's the type of guy

who will keep his thought to himself

no matter how much he likes or admires someone.

He's pretentious.

Hard to get along with.

I guess that's the way he was raised.

He wouldn't even eat the apple

unless you make

a bunny shape out of it.

He's not pretentious!

Talented people

always happen to be eccentric.

He's quite interesting.

I hope we will have the chance to become teammates

instead of opponents.

How come she knows everything about Mr Zhou Chuan?

She's not necessarily telling the truth.

Touché.

But did she just ask you to join Xin Dun Books?

I'm not going to check if

there are CDs in his drawer.

So what if he has a drawer full of CDs?

I know Drama King

likes to sleep with soft toys too.

I won't do anything to find out

if he really likes bunny-shaped apples.

What am I doing?

I've been acting strange lately.

Mr...

Mr Zhou Chuan.

Well,

Xin Dun Books has invited Mr Maurer

to the signing session for Un Oiseau Effray E

on your launch day.

He'll be there for half an hour.

Is that so?

You're so calm.

Did your previous editor

not tell you about it?

Mr Liang

suggested that we should hire the Internet Water Army

to come and buy your books

with their arms flailing in the air.

Just to put up a front.

But you might need to pay for it.

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Take it out.

This is good.

So sweet.

Do you really like

bunny-shaped apples?

What do you mean?

It's just an apple.

What's with the face?

It looks as though

I did something wrong to you.

The apples that I prepared for you before

are not apples, are they?

Besides, did I ever say that

these apples are for you?

Who is this for if it weren't for me?

Er Gou?

It only eats meat.

I prepared this for myself.

Is that so?

How delicate.

These are all for me!

I won't give you any of them!

Fine, it's all yours.

It's all yours.

How did you know

that I like bunny-shaped apple?

I didn't know about that.

These apples

are prepared for myself.

Director Gu told me about this.

And she said you have a drawer full of CDs.

What's that look?

Are you jealous?

No way!

I'm not jealous.

She's just your former editor,

not your ex-girlfriend.

Even if she's your ex-girlfriend,

that's none of my business.

I'm your current editor.

Why did you tell her instead of me?

I didn't tell her about it.

She knew it from that big mouth, Jiang Yu Cheng.

Mr Jiang?

Well then...

Mr Zhou Chuan,

you can eat as much as you like.

What else do you want to know?

I'll say everything I know without reserve.

What's your favourite colour?

Black.

What's your favourite number?

13.
