Episode 27

Brother Cheng,

this is the fifth time

you've been wiping the same piece of glass.

Is that so?

It's fine.

I'll take a look over there then.

-I'll rearrange them. -No need for that.

I think the books are organized enough.

They'll be messy once again if you go and rearrange them.

Brother, I think you should go and rest.

Stop messing things up for us.

I'm messing things up?

Pardon me for being straight,

but you've been no help to us at all for the past two days.

You couldn't even do the accounts right.

Brother Cheng,

what's wrong with you?

I'm fine.

Yun Fei

Thank Mr Maurer for me.

See you next time.

Who is it?

Do you need anything?

Why didn't you tell me about the truth about the plagiarism?

Come in.

It's been so many years.

I always thought

you were the one who told Yun Fei about my idea.

Why didn't you explain yourself to me at all?

How do I explain myself?

I always knew that

you two were using the same plot,

but I couldn't tell you about it.

Because I'm not just your girlfriend,

I'm an editor as well.

I couldn't say anything about it even though

my boyfriend has been writing it for the past six months.

It was tough for me as well.

Actually, you can tell me the truth.

Do you think the past you would believe in me?

Actually, even if I told you the truth,

we would still end up like this.

Yun Fei's book

is just the final nail in the coffin.

Our problems existed a long time ago.

Our problem didn't arise from the fact that

we didn't explain ourselves,

it's a matter of trust.

Jiang Yu Cheng, you don't trust me at all.

It's not that I don't trust you.

As long as you told me that

you didn't tell him my idea,

I would've trusted you.

You see? That's the problem here.

When you asked me whether I've told Yun Fei about your idea,

when you thought that you were just my stepping stone,

it meant that you've lost trust in me.

The one sentence you've been longing to hear

is the one sentence I don't want to say.

I'm sorry.

Before this,

you told me that we would end up like this again.

I didn't believe you.

But now, I do believe you.

Maybe we're just

not meant for each other.

Please give me another chance.

I'm tired.

I'm really tired of it.

Instead of torturing each other again,

why don't we just let it go?

I still have work to do.

You can see yourself out.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

help me take a look.

What should I wear for work for my reinstatement?

Both of them are fine.

No! These two outfits have different meanings to them.

This outfit will show

my carefree attitude and tell them that

I won't care even if they fire me.

This outfit will show my bossy attitude

and make them cower in fear.

You should wear the carefree one then.

How about the bossy one?

I...

Just bring both of them.

You can wear one in the morning and one in the evening.

I'm sure it'll be hot. Besides, it's troublesome.

Give me a moment.

Mum

Hello, Mum? Do you need anything?

It's me.

You wouldn't pick up my call

if I didn't call you using her phone, am I right?

Where's my mother?

I'll hang up if there's nothing else.

Look at your attitude.

You'll embarrass me

if I send you to see Maurer.

Maurer?

Which Maurer are you talking about?

Which Maurer are you talking about?

He wants young writers

from Chinese mainland to work on his new movie.

Send me a list and details

of all the writers under our company.

I'll send the list to him.

Maurer will meet with the person he deemed suitable.

Yes, madam.

Why aren't you going?

Didn't you listen to what he said?

He said I was inferior

and I was an embarrassment to him.

Who needs his recommendation anyway?

You mustn't think of it in that way.

When Linghu Chong met Feng Qingyang,

even if he doesn't master the Nine Swords of Dugu,

at least he got to meet his idol and realize his dream.

Moreover, you're just sending your resume to him.

They still need to filter it, you know?

I won't send it to him.

Gentlemen do not accept food handed out in contempt.

I won't participate in anything

that old man recommends to me.

Fine, don't send it then.

Since Old Mr Zhou had recommended Mr Jiang as well,

I'll ask him if he's going to send his resume to him.

Who are you referring to?

Mr Jiang.

To him, this is a great opportunity.

And, I'm his editor as well

If you're not going,

naturally, I have to recommend him to go.

You're just his editor for one book.

The cooperation is over once you've published his book.

I'm your current boyfriend

and future husband, you know?

My future husband?

You're thinking too far ahead.

How do you want me to prove it to you then?

I'll prove it to you right now.

Weren't we talking about Maurer just now?

Don't try to shift the topic.

Anyway, I'm the Gan Jiang Mo Ye

of the editorial industry.

I'll have to depend on both of you

to make a name for myself in the industry.

Gan Jiang Mo Ye?

So, Jiang Yu Cheng and I

hold the same weight in your heart?

I'm

not

going!

What are you doing?

I...

Stop fiddling with my phone.

I wasn't fiddling with your phone.

I've arranged your details

and your published works.

-I've sent them to Maurer. -Wait.

I...

I don't even have the right

to object to your decision now?

As your editor,

I'm fine with any decision you make,

even if you decide not to meet Maurer.

But, as your girlfriend,

I know you're just too stubborn to admit the truth.

That was fast.

You're leaving already?

Remember to check your email.

They'll send you an email once they have received it.

I'll go and change first.

I'm a busy man, you know?

I don't have time to check my email.

Mister, I was wrong.

You're the only man I can depend on.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Just ignore me.

What's wrong with you and Gu Bai Zhi again?

She said

it was over for us.

Do you still like her then?

I do.

Not only do I like her,

I...

Stop recording!

I finally understand now.

You won't be able to

escape from her grasp in this lifetime.

It's either you pull yourself together

and get her back,

or stay here and die alone.

Chu Li and I

won't hold a funeral for you when you die.

Get her back?

How?

Maurer is coming to Chinese mainland.

He's looking for a writer.

None of the old writers

are to his liking.

He's looking for a young and talented writer.

Xin Dun Books doesn't have any qualified writers

to work with him, so...

I guess Gu Bai Zhi is frustrated because of that fact.

Cherish your opportunity.

So, will you bring Mr Jiang

and Mr Zhou Chuan with you?

What has this got to do with me?

The writers were the ones who were invited.

I think it depends on the writers if they want to bring me along or not.

I think

Mr Zhou Chuan will surely bring you with him.

We still don't know if he can pass the selection.

As for Mr Jiang,

he isn't an avid reader of Maurer's works.

So, it's highly unlikely for him to be there.

But, if he does go,

I will still cheer for him.

You need to balance your relationship even during work.

It must've been tough.

I have no choice.

Both of them are young and talented writers.

It's getting late. Let's go.

I think Chief Editor Yu has arrived.

I still need to thank her as well.

Thank me for what?

-Chief Editor Yu. -Chief Editor Yu.

Miao told me that you two are organizing the book shelves.

I came here to take a look.

We will be done soon.

Chief Editor Yu, thank you for helping me with the reinstatement.

Why are you thanking me?

You were the one who managed to convince writers like Ghost.

You were the one who convinced Mr Xia as well.

Do your best, alright?

I will.

Why isn't there any news from Maurer yet?

Here you go.

Email

Invitation

Invitation for Mr Zhou Chuan

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You look elated.

Did Maurer send you an email?

I did receive an invitation.

He wants to meet me in person.

Initially, I was planning to write.

This is so troublesome.

You're the best! You're my boy indeed!

I'll go and

pack our luggage right now.

By the way, when will you guys meet?

I...

Invitation

Invitation for Mr Jiang Yu Cheng

Even if you get to meet Maurer,

he won't be satisfied with our writers.

You should explain this to me then.

We have many writers, yet none of them were able to enter the second selection?

Don't tell me Xin Dun Books

doesn't have even one qualified writer?

What's the use

of the content planning department then?

Gu Bai Zhi,

you can explain this to our leader yourself.

Actually, you still have a trump card up your sleeves.

Why are you here?

Invitation

Wednesday, 2pm.

I'll wait for you by your area's entrance.

You're planning to bring me along?

He only invited Zhou Chuan and I.

I can help you out.

Even if you were to be chosen,

it's a testament to your own ability.

It has nothing to do with us editors.

Besides, you and Xin Dun Books

have parted ways long ago.

How are you going to help me?

What if I let Xin Dun Books publish my next book?

I'll go there

as a writer under Xin Dun Books.

Remember all the details.

Maurer is looking for a partner.

I'm sure Director Gu knows about that.

I wonder who she'll send to the battle?

I can only depend on you now, my Dragon Slaying Sabre.

I've memorized everything

about Maurer.

I don't need to read them anymore.

Explain this to me then.

Until now, Maurer had published

seven novels.

But why are there only characters

from six of his novels listed on the online encyclopaedia?

I didn't expect you to be that particular.

My goodness.

Don't tell me

you don't know what I'm talking about?

How dare you say that you're an avid reader of his works?

I couldn't find the characters of The Dragon's Mark on the Sky

no matter how I look.

That's strange.

Enough.

Just leave these matters to me.

You can deal with the logistics.

This is our first time

going on a trip together.

They say that

the final test between a couple

is to go on a trip together.

We won't break up with each other

after the trip, am I right?

That's impossible.

Here's a quiz.

Who will carry the luggage?

-Me. -Who shall plan our schedule?

-You. -Who shall govern our money?

You.

-How many rooms should we book? -One...

I mean two.

That's more like it.

Isn't it a waste of money

for us to book two rooms?

You should focus on

reading Maurer's details.

Stop thinking about nonsense.

Who's thinking about nonsense?

Break up with each other?

It's just a trip.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Ten things to take note of

when you go on a trip with your other half.

The one who isn't responsible for the schedule

should keep quiet even if they're hungry.

Don't talk back even if you're exhausted.

Let nature take its course so that

peace will be ensued? What is this?

Do you still remember your first trip with

Gu Bai Zhi?

Please tell me

about your past failures

so that I could avoid them.

I do have some advice for you.

Just ask Chu Li to stay away from you.

I...

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Let me do it.

I've worn the skirt you asked of me.

But, must I wear this ugly hat?

We aren't going on a vacation, you know?

When you're together with your boyfriend,

it's...

It's a vacation no matter where you go.

Look at your hat

and look at my outfit.

Take a closer look.

This way, people will be able to

identify us as a couple.

Mister,

why do I feel like there's something wrong with you?

Don't worry, leave this to me.

Just don't talk back to me.

On the Internet,

it says a sense of ceremony is very important

for our first trip together.

Your hat.

Wear it properly.

I think I should change my outfit.

Just get on the car.

Beware of the car's roof.

What kind of taste is this?

I think the hat is too big.

You've never liked wearing

matching outfits with me before.

Tell me, what's your motive?

It's all because of you.

Last night, you said going on a trip together

is the biggest test for a couple.

So, it's because of that?

I'm sorry then.

The hat is worth is indeed.

You two

have a great relationship, huh?

You two must be colleagues.

Business trips are tough, huh?

This isn't my style at all.

Mr Jiang?

I thought you weren't coming.

Sorry, Chu Li.

I didn't tell you beforehand.

What are you saying?

Clearly, he has an ulterior motive.

Don't you understand?

What a fool.

You hear that?

You're a fool.

I'm sure he was enraged because I exposed him.

I think you're a fool as well.

I...

Mr Jiang,

this is the room you've booked, Room 3130.

Thank you.

Just one room?

You only booked one room?

How could I possibly do so?

At first,

I wasn't sure that you would come.

But it's fine.

I've booked another room on our way here.

But I couldn't get a room.

Please give me another room.

Any room is fine.

I'm really sorry.

Our hotel is fully booked.

There are no empty rooms available.

Hello, checking in for Zhou Chuan.

Alright, please wait a moment.

Mr Zhou Chuan, your rooms are Room 3165

and Room 3182.

Alright, thank you.

This is an emergency. I'll pay you double for this.

Director Gu, I'll pay you triple for that.

There's no need for that. It belongs to us in the first place.

Give me the card.

How about this?

Chu Li,

you can take my card.

I'll stay in Zhou Chuan's room.

I don't want you to sleep beside me.

You can take this.

My girlfriend and I can stay in one room.

That's great. Thank you so much.

I don't want to stay in the same room as you!

She's gone.

Let's check

Mr Jiang's room out.

Let's go.

Mr Jiang is really generous.

There's only one bed?

How are we going to sleep?

Rule 8 of the tenants' rules,

-it is... -I'll sleep on the sofa.

Is that okay with you?

That's more like it.

By the way,

regarding Maurer's The Dragon's Mark on the Sky,

what was the story behind it?

Why are you still concerned about that novel?

That day, Ah Xiang and I searched the bookshelves.

We only managed to find some details of it on some magazines.

It stated that Maurer hated the book so much that

he denied the existence of the novel.

What exactly was the story behind it?

The Dragon's Mark on the Sky

Maurer

was actually created by Maurer and his best friend,

Ymir.

After the novel was published,

Ymir wrote

an official fan fiction

in order to express

the reason for its creation from his perspective.

So, this Ymir

had transformed a novel that was advocating for peace

into a story where the Western dragon

won against the evil Eastern warlords?

That's right.

Doesn't that mean he has went against

Maurer's original intention of writing the novel?

Yeah.

Maurer is

a total pacifist.

He visited Chinese mainland, India, even Cambodia in the past.

He admired the Eastern culture.

But, Ymir

advocated violence and hatred.

So, all of a sudden,

all of the pacifists

turned their spears towards Maurer because of this incident.

They fell out with each other after that incident.

Now, this novel

is a taboo to Mr Maurer.

So, you mustn't mention this novel to him when you see him.

Alright.

I'm sure it was hard to gather

all these information, huh?

It's not that bad.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Take a good look at them.

You can find me if you have any questions

regarding them.

Let's have dinner together.

We can call Zhou Chuan and Chu Li to join us.

I'll skip that.

I'm not hungry.

I'll skip dinner as well then.

I won't die even if I skip some meals.

At most, I'll just be pale and weak

when I meet Maurer tomorrow.

Hey, do you think

we should remind Mr Jiang?

Don't underestimate Gu Bai Zhi.

I'm sure Jiang Yu Cheng

will know more about Maurer than me.

If Gu Bai Zhi wants to work together with someone,

no one will be able to stop her.

Zhou Chuan, let's have dinner together.

Chu Li,

we'll wait for you at the restaurant.

This is the quietest meal

I've ever had in my entire life.

Let's not eat with them in the future.

Even my tummy is hurting.

Really?

He's lying.

And we can hear what you guys are saying, you know?

Come.

Now, I don't like fish eyes.

I'll remember that.

Ms Gu,

since when have you stopped liking fish eyes?

Even people will change as time goes by.

Moreover, this is just a change of taste.

Isn't this normal?

Ms Gu, since you said

you had a change of taste,

so, what do you prefer to eat lately?

Crab roe,

broad bean,

and Houttuynia cordata.

I thought Mr Jiang disliked all of those food?

Ms Gu, besides those...

Chu Li is an avid reader of Jiang Yu Cheng's works indeed.

Seems like you're very clear about his preferences.

She knows my preferences even better.

If I'm not mistaken,

you booked two rooms, right?

Yeah.

I thought you guys were a couple?

Does that mean we need to stay in the same room?

We did so out of mutual respect.

But you guys seem like a happy couple

with no problems whatsoever, huh?

Why do I feel like

you're trying to drive a wedge between us?

I think I'm done.

Please enjoy your dinner.

I!

Why did you fall into her trap so easily?

Why do I need you in the first place?

So, I'm in the wrong for trying to help?

It's getting late.

-You should bathe first. -You should bathe first.

-I'll bathe first then. -I'll bathe first then.

I'll bathe first.

You're not allowed to peek.

Do you think I want to take a peek?

-Who's there? -It's me.

Let's take a walk.

Take a walk? I'm going to take my bath.

Great timing. You can bathe after you're done walking.

No. I'm in a bad mood.

Hurry and put your clothes on.

Don't catch a cold. Hurry up.

It's lucky that I brought my own shampoo.

My hair smells nice.

How do I make my face look smaller?

I'm done.

Where is he?

Zhou Chuan?

Hello? Where are you?

Jiang Yu Cheng invited me for a walk. I'll be back later.

Don't stay out too late, okay?

We need to meet Maurer tomorrow, you know?

Alright, I'll hang up now.

What should I say

in order to make her forgive me?

Calm down.

You must stay calm.

Your impulse will ruin you.

Actually, I have many things that I want to tell her.

But when I see her in person,

I can't bring myself to speak.

Why don't we continue our walk?

We can take as long as we want to.

Are you even listening to me?

What did you say again?

When we meet Maurer tomorrow,

-we mustn't mention his maiden work. -We mustn't mention his maiden work.

Seems like the she-devil has told you everything.

Seems like you're a true fan of Maurer.

Do you want to catch some fishes?

You're so childish.

Look.

That girl over there loves it when she sees cute animals.

I'm sure my girl will love them.

But, it's hard to say

for the she-devil.

She was fond of

my parents' cat in the past.

You said so yourself. It's all in the past.

Now, I guess

she's fond of acquiring your head.

Why are you trying to steal my fish?

-Do you think the fish tank is yours? -I...

I want the black fish as well.

You want to act like a thug?

Fine.

Let's compete then.

Alright.

They're strange.

Let's go to somewhere else.

Why isn't he back yet?

You're back?

What are you hiding behind you?

It's a surprise.

Don't tell me he's finally buying flowers for me?

Give it to me.

Fishes?

I've spent so much effort in order to get them.

And Jiang Yu Cheng

wanted the black fish for himself as well.

I lied to him

and said that Gu Bai Zhi was behind him.

I caught it when he was flustered.

Do you like it?

That's kind of interesting.

I've named them as well.

The black and cool fish

is Zhou Chuan.

For the red and chubby fish,

it's Chu Li.

Actually, I don't mind you

praising me for my beauty.

You don't like them?

That Jiang Yu Cheng,

he told me that

girls like small animals like these.

That's why I...

I like them.

I like everything you give me.

The editorial department has

a jar of goldfish as well.

I'll find a container for them.

Look.

They were in the same plastic bag

as I brought them home.

It wasn't embarrassing for them at all.

So, I'm sure we can work this out somehow.

What's wrong?

Where's my fish?

Zhou...

Zhou Chuan was flushed into the toilet bowl.

I'm sure you wanted to do that long ago.

It's not that.

I just wanted to flush away the toilet paper.

I didn't expect Zhou Chuan to jump out from the container.

And it...

This is a huge sin.

Maybe you just did a good deed?

Maybe it could survive even better

when it reaches the sewer?

Really?

Will this goldfish be able to survive then?

Haven't you read about

goldfishes experiencing atavism?

When goldfishes reach the sewer,

they'll experience atavism and turn into carps.

After that, they'll produce offspring

and live a good life down in the sewers.

Can you stop telling me nonsense

while putting on a serious face?

Why don't you

come in?

I just want you to have a comfortable sleep.

I don't mean anything else.

Hey,

Rule 8 of the tenants' rules,

you mustn't be too close to me.

And, you're not allowed to...

Let's sleep.

Good night.

♫ I want to hide like a kid who made mistakes ♫

♫ My heart skipped a beat ♫

♫ When you look at me everything seems so cute ♫

♫ I am the only one feeling strange ♫

♫ I have got a million whys ♫

♫ But I can't tell ♫

♫ I still have my sanity ♫

I thought you were already asleep.

♫ I fled for a week ♫

♫ You don't seem to be surprised ♫

Wait, if you're not asleep, you wouldn't...

♫ Because when you look into my eyes ♫

♫ I have told you a thousand times ♫

♫ The world is on the verge of elimination ♫

Wait!

♫ Only you are still favoured by me ♫

I...

My relative is here.

No one's here. It's the middle of the night.

♫ As if enemies, yet full of chemistry ♫

I meant I'm experiencing my period.

♫ We could've become sworn brothers ♫

♫ If it weren't for the moonlight ♫

♫ I realized that I was going astray ♫

Have some warm water.

♫ I have got a million whys ♫

Thank you.

♫ From a genius to a fool ♫

I'll take a shower.

♫ I still have my talents ♫

♫ I fled for a week ♫

♫ You don't seem to be surprised ♫

♫ Because when you look into my eyes ♫

♫ I have told you a thousand times ♫

♫ The world is on the verge of elimination ♫

♫ Only you are still favoured by me ♫

♫ Because when you hold me in your arms ♫

♫ I have never felt so right ♫

Let's release

♫ If this is not love ♫

the other goldfish into the wild.

If not, Zhou Chuan

♫ What can I tell myself? ♫

would be sad and lonely.

Alright, I'll listen to you.
