Episode 19

Look!

The ten things couples must do.

One, ride the Ferris wheel together.

I have done that.

Continue. What's next?

Two, watch the sunrise and sunset together.

This one sounds good. And the third?

Bend down to tie her shoes.

Why?

Doesn't she have hands?

Can't she tie her own shoes?

How boring you are!

Not romantic at all.

And there is the next.

Four, close your eyes,

and let him hold your hand while crossing the road.

This one is romantic.

So romantic!

Yeah.

But close the eyes? Wouldn't she become blind?

How should I put this?

You're really not romantic at all!

And the next one.

Five, go to Japan and watch the cherry blossom.

I like this one.

The cherry blossom at that time must be very beautiful.

We stand on... And the next.

Six,

have hotpot together.

I think this one is...

What do you want?

Um,

the e-mail has been sent to you.

The report is finished! You are so quick!

Hang on.

You... You...

You can check it later.

You can check it after I leave.

See you.

Wait!

What's wrong?

All right.

You can check it now.

Go ahead.

But,

promise me you won't laugh.

What's it to be laughed about?

What if you laugh?

If I laugh, I'm a pig.

Okay, now you've made a promise.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

I'm a pig.

You promised you wouldn't laugh!

Is it because of what Qin Bin said?

Qiu Jianing,

to be honest,

I don't know what things are romantic

in a relationship.

But,

for you, I'm willing to learn.

Actually, the best relationships

don't come from learning.

You just need to be yourself.

Hello?

Mr. Wang.

I'm coming right away.

Go back to work!

Are you looking for me?

Jianing, have a seat.

Just now Li Chunran submitted

her resignation to the human resources.

Do you know why she did this?

I have no idea.

Now the program is at a crucial stage.

And Li Chunran is an experienced staff.

If she leaves,

it's hard to find her replacement

in a short time.

How about this?

I go talk to her.

Yeah, you go talk to her,

and try to make her stay.

Okay, I'll go talk to her right now.

Go ahead.

Why do you suddenly want to resign?

So Mr. Wang told you.

I'm sorry.

I disturbed our work.

Is there any other company that wants you?

No no no.

I've decided to go back to my hometown.

To your hometown?

Why?

I'm tired.

Is it because of Zhang Yu?

No!

It's because of me. I don't think I can do it anymore.

As a female researcher,

I have to sacrifice much more than my male counterparts.

But only a few people

can climb onto the top of the pyramid.

I don't see if there is any point

to keep going.

Of course there is a point.

Plan O is the reason you should keep going.

But I can't convince my parents.

Whether Plan O can change the history of medicine

doesn't matter to them.

What matters to them is their daughter.

A thirty-year-old fat girl

is all alone

in a strange city.

I let them down.

But if you resign, you'll let yourself down.

Yes.

I would think the same if I were a few years younger.

But what am I?

You were also there that day.

Me,

Li Chunran,

a woman doctor who studied diligently for more than twenty years.

A man like that could make fun of me,

and look down upon me.

So where is the point?

Chunran,

I suggest you calm down

and think twice.

At least don't make your final decision today.

Not now.

Okay?

I know it's not responsible to make

such a decision at a time like this.

But I don't have a choice.

My parents forced me to make a decision.

It seems that

I can't climb to the peak of science.

I may as well be a good daughter.

I came to this world.

At least I should make something.

Am I right?

I'm sorry, Jianing.

Chunran,

can't you stay?

Yeah, Chunran, stay.

Even if you really want to go, you should wait

until you get the the year-end bonus.

No.

You should wait until Jianing comes back from the conference.

Then you could leave.

Chunran, please stay.

We don't want you to leave.

Yeah.

My father has been sick for a long time.

My mother is old, so it's hard to take care of my father by herself.

They need help.

It's such a pity.

Isn't there any other way?

It's okay.

Li Chunran is leaving no matter what.

But Mr. Wang hopes that she can stay.

What do you plan to do then?

She'll never come back once she leaves.

You may never see her your whole life.

Did she tell you that?

Her parents got her a job as

a chemistry teacher in a school at her city.

That's nice.

He still won't give in.

It looks like he needs a hard push.

Hello?

Did you dial the wrong number?

So...

You've decided to leave.

If there is no other thing,

I'll hang up.

Wait.

Chunran.

Have a safe trip.

Thanks.

Li Chunran will leave this afternoon.

Does anyone want to see her off?

I thought she would leave next week.

Her parents want her to go back as soon as possible.

Can't they wait just for a few days?

I heard she needs to prepare for the wedding.

Wedding?

She doesn't even have a boyfriend.

Who will she marry?

Maybe the guy we saw last time.

That jerk?

Wait! Stop the car!

Do you want to die?

Zhang Yu, are you crazy?

Are you really leaving?

Or what?

Hey!

Just finish the talk!

I have a business to run!

Okay I'm leaving.

Wait.

What do you want to say?

Come here.

What do you want, Zhang Yu?

Come here!

Zhang Yu!

Your beauty stole my heart.

Are you telling me you like me?

Is it fun for you?

You want to fool me even when I'm about to leave.

Chunran, I'm serious.

I will marry you if you say yes.

I like you!

Zhang Yu,

stop kidding round.

Will you leave or not?

What do you want from me?

Li Chunran,

you have to say yes to me.

If you don't,

you'll never ever get married.

Where were you before?

I've given you signs!

Signs? All you did was talking back to me.

But why didn't I talk back to other people but you?

I'm more handsome than Zhou Xiaoshan.

He's more handsome, okay?

What about Qin Bin?

He's taller than you.

What about Lei?

You are just a tiny bit better than him.

Yeah, just think about all the wrinkles on his face.

Anyway, there are way too many better men than you out there.

Yes, indeed.

You've had 101 blind dates.

And none of them worked out.

Now, I'm your only choice.

Just say it.

Yes or no?

I'm fat, and I eat a lot.

I'll buy you as much food as you want.

I'm not beautiful.

But you are beautiful inside.

I have a bad temper.

I have a good temper.

I have a bad temper.

Are you leaving or not?

No, we are not.

What?

Not leaving?

I've waited for such a long time!

And you tell me you won't leave.

Are you kidding me?

All right, Sir.

Here, take this.

Please open the trunk.

See?

Maybe that's the best version of love.

Two people confronting the past and the future together.

It was so embarrassing.

Where are you going?

I'm going home to eat something.

Wait for me!

Cheers! Cheers!

Cheers!

Thanks! Thanks everyone!

This meal is on Lei. Right, Lei?

Let's drink it up.

Hey, take it easy!

You two!

When is the big day?

Yeah, when?

Any day as long as you get the red envelopes ready.

Any day.

Hey, colleague,

did I say I would marry you?

I didn't say I would marry you!

Do you think in this world

there are only two kinds of men like you and He Wexian?

There is another kind.

Men like Dr. Qin.

Do you know?

The day when that jerk came to me,

Jianing helped me.

That jerk even tried to start a physical fight.

But Dr. Qin pushed him away

and got in front of Jianing to protect her.

You should see his muscles. He is so strong!

He looked like Captain America!

Oh how handsome!

Okay, enough.

Why don't we call him and tell him to come here?

So we could thank him.

Let's wish Chunran and Zhang Yu

a happy life, shall we?

Let's have a toast!

Yeah let's do it.

To happy life!

To happy life!

Sister,

I forgot to take my keys. Do you have your keys?

A dinner party?

I'm nearby.

Okay.

See you later.

See you.

Jiaxin,

let's go grab some night snacks.

Perfect.

My sister and her colleagues are having a dinner party.

And she asked me to go.

Go with me.

A dinner party?

Don't be shy. Zhou Xiaoshan is also there.

Let's go!

Let's go.

Me?

Chunran!

Chunran!

So,

truth or dare?

Choose one.

Dare.

Hooray!

Hooray!

Be quiet! Listen to me!

Kiss him.

Yeah! Kiss him!

Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

Are you doing this or not?

Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

Okay, okay.

I'll sacrifice myself and accept the kiss.

You make sacrifice. Seriously?

Okay, here I come.

Just wait for a second.

Here I come.

What did you do?

It's better to eat the chicken than to make sacrifices.

A lot of kisses are waiting for you in the future!

Sister!

You came.

Is this Jiaxin?

She is Jianing's sister.

I met her once in the dorm.

Hello, everyone!

I'm Jiaxin.

It's very nice to meet you all.

Hello.

Hello!

Hi!

And this is...

She's my sister.

She and Jiaxin are good friends.

Come sit!

Have a seat, Jiaxin.

Someone grabs them two chairs.

We just opened this drink.

No one has touched it.

Thank you!

You are welcome.

I heard the laughter from far away.

What were you playing?

Truth or dare.

Sounds fun.

Keep going!

It's my turn.

Here you are.

It's revenge time!

Spin it!

Spin it!

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Truth or dare?

Truth.

That's my man!

Let me think.

Think twice about the question.

That day from your dorm,

I heard woman's voice.

Woman?

Was that your girlfriend?

Tell us! Was that your girlfriend?

Was it? Was it?

Tell us, Zhou Xiaoshan!

Was that your girlfriend?

Don't try to lie.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Was that your girlfriend?

Yes.

Hang on. Hang on.

Is she from our lab?

That's a good question.

Good one.

Is she?

Is she?

Tell us!

Zhou Xiaoshan, we are asking you. Is she?

Yes.

Oh my god!

Who?

Does that person want to give herself out?

Zhuzhu!

We are waiting here. Be quick!

You can only ask one question at a time.

You've already asked two!

Yeah.

I've already answered

two questions.

We've gone this far!

Just tell us!

What are you rushing for?

Can't you have some respect for the rules?

You can only ask one question at a time.

She's right.

Next round.

Jianing, you spin the bottle.

Yeah, you spin it.

Okay, let me do this.

You spin it.

Wait for it.

Xiaoshan, it's your lucky day!

Zhou Xiaoshan, it's fate.

So,

truth or dare?

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Last time you chose truth.

Shouldn't you choose dare this time?

The same would be boring.

No.

I'll stick to dare.

Say it then.

Who is she?

Who?

Who? Who?

You all want to know, right?

Yeah, tell us.

Tell us!

Okay, I'll tell you.

My god!

Say it!

Who? Who? Who?

Who is she?

Don't keep us in suspense. Just say it.

Oh my god. Zhuzhu.

Look at Zhuzhu. She's ready for it.

Helen, good for you!

What are you guys laughing at?

I don't have the gut.

It's me.

He likes me!

Yeah yeah yeah, it's Li Chunran.

It's Li Chunran.

God. It's me.

Yeah, it's you.

Mo!

Mo! You...

Mo!

Mo!

Mo!

Mo, is it you?

It's not me!

You are still young, Mo!

I'm still underage.

It's not me.

It is you!

It's you!

I'm still underage!

Qiu Jianing,

is my girlfriend.

It's so unexpected!

Cheers cheers.

Cheers, Lei!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Lei, cheers!

What are you doing?

Can't I hold my girlfriend?

You're so annoying.

Just wait until tomorrow.

They won't give you a break at the company.

I'll happily accept it.

Look at me, Qiu Jianing.

Look at me.

Look at me.

How romantic!

Actually I kind of envy Qin Bin.

Why?

Because he could tell the world out loud

that he liked you,

and that he was pursuing you.

But I can only give you

underground love.

Besides,

he comes from a wealthy family

and has a good career.

I don't have any of those.

So,

you feel inferior.

Kind of.

Do you think I care about any of those?

But I'm a man.

I care about those.

Wait!

Mo Li, what happened?

I've always felt that in the competition between me and him,

he has the better cards.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

the fact that I like you,

is your best card.

Haven't I told you not to come here?

You didn't let come here was because you were afraid of raising suspicion.

Now that everyone knows I'm your sister.

What are you afraid of now?

Qiu Jianing getting jealous?

You should leave now.

You said you were just pretending to love her

to gain her trust.

And that the less people know, the better.

So why did you announce

your relationship today?

I have my reasons.

Brother!

Did you really fall in love with her?

Enough!

You never pretended,

did you?

Shut up.

Mo Li,

if it wasn't you

who got close to Qiu Jiaxin

and exposed yourself,

Qiu Jianing wouldn't suspect me.

If I didn't do what I did today,

she would still suspect me.

Don't you know?

The lab has changed

the code of the supreme authority.

Do you know what that means?

Was it Qiu Jianing's idea?

I don't know.

But if it was her idea,

it means she's starting to suspect me.

Anyway,

we failed to analyze the formula,

and the code was changed.

Now, Qiu Jianing is my only hope.

If there's anything wrong with our relationship,

the mission will fail for sure.

Brother,

I'm sorry.

Go home.

Who do you guys think took the initiative?

According my observation,

Zhou Xiaoshan was the one to take the initiative.

I thought he and Zhuzhu would work out.

Seriously?

But this way,

everything that didn't make sense before

suddenly has an explanation now.

Like what?

Like,

remember when I was doing experiments with

Zhou Xiaoshan and Qiu Jianing,

and Qiu Jianing asked us to culture cells?

Zhou Xiaoshan always made mistakes in the experiments.

So I was so confused.

As someone who is so good at micro-injection,

how could he not know how to culture cells?

He did it on purpose.

For sure.

He was trying to create opportunities.

Aww I'm so touched!

It's like the plot from the TV series.

When can you find one for yourself?

Stop it!

What are you guys talking about?

Question:

What is like to be in an underground office romance?

Answer: Thanks for inviting.

Male, 26.

I'm currently working in the R&D department

at a big pharmaceutical corporation,

and am in an underground office romance

with a female colleague.

In general,

it's sweet and enviable.

I bought you guys yakult.

Have some.

Thanks.

I think today's yakult

must be extremely sweet.

For sure.

It must be extremely sweet.

Thanks, Jianing.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

what did you send to our WeChat group?

What is like to be in an underground office romance?

Zhou Xiaoshan's answer:

A lot of public display of affection.

It's so sweet!

You guys help yourselves.

The yakult is sweet too.

Indeed!

Here you are.

Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?

This morning in the office,

I heard a lot of rumors about you.

Jianing,

I have to tell you

that you made a huge mistake.

Yes.

Mr. Wang,

I know it's very inappropriate to have office romance.

And that is why

I had been keeping it as a secret.

Actually, we were very careful.

We didn't expect that people would find out about us.

You may rest assured.

I won't let this relationship get in the way of the work.

That's what I want to talk to you about.

It has always been difficult for us researchers

to find love.

It's good that you found love inside our company.

Why did you keep it from us?

You have such wonderful news, and you didn't let me know.

You were treating me as an outsider.

Don't you know what kind of person I am?

Is that how you see me?

A stick-in-the-mud?

Let me tell you now.

Your relationship with Zhou Xiaoshan.

I don't disapprove of it.

Instead, I support it.

Mr. Wang,

really?

It's such a relief.

You are not a kid anymore.

You don't need to hide your relationship.

I was afraid you would disapprove of it.

Am I the kind of person who would do that?

Jianing,

knowing that you and Xiaoshan, Chunran and Zhang Yu

could find each other,

I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

As a matter of fact, as long as you deal with it right,

the relationship won't get in the way of the work.

Instead, it facilitates your work. Am I right?

Yes.

We work during working hours.

And we could also discuss work on our date.

You are the winner.

Yeah, I'm the winner.

I'm the winner.

Zhuzhu,

one o'clock afternoon,

our group needs to use the big conference room.

The big conference room is taken.

There is only small conference rooms left.

By which group?

Can you make some rearrangements?

They ordered the room before you. How could I rearrange?

I remember the big conference room is available this afternoon.

Maybe you forgot.

It's okay.

We can make do with a small conference room.

Small conference room it is.

Zhuzhu,

are you unhappy?

Is it because of Qiu Jianing and Zhou Xiaoshan?

Don't mention her name.

I hate her.

Is your meeting over?

What did Mr. Wang say?

Did he criticize you?

What?

Are you scared?

If you're scared, then you shouldn't do what you did last night.

Okay,

Mr. Wang is not angry with us.

He supports us.

Really?

You didn't expect it, do you?

Mr. Wang is a sensible person.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Make some time for me.

Why?

I'll take you to the cinema to watch a horror film.

A horror film?

Why?

Ten things that couples must do.

Did you forget?

You really took it seriously.

Qiu Jianing.

But why is watching horror films

on the list of the ten things?

Is it because while watching the films

the girl would be scared and get into the boy's arms?

You are smart.

It's likely that your plan would fail.

You're right.

You are a biologist.

You don't even blink

when cutting the rats' nails.

Let alone the horror films.

I do blink, okay?

However,

there are some advantages to watch horror movies.

What are they?

With the horror movies,

we can talk about the structures of the organs.

Maybe we can get inspired.

Qiu Jianing, are you kidding me?

I'm telling you.

Don't you ever talk about work

during our date.

Do you understand?

Why?

Because there will be punishment.

What punishment?

See you.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

there is something wrong with you lately.

I don't think so.

We should have some sense of propriety even though we are dating.

Okay.

I just told you to have some sense of propriety.

Give me your hand, and close your eyes.

Why?

There are things on the list we haven't done yet.

I forgot about the lies.

I forgot whether it was real or not.

I just remember you cried for me.

Everything we had.

No one wants to let it go.

How many lonely secrets.

If I don't share them with you,

that's because I fear I would lose you.

But it has been so long since we said goodbye.

You are the sun that breaks the long night.

And let someone in darkness like me

see the light for the first time.

When you see me,

and put me at the center of your world...

Hello?

Hello, where are you?

Why did it take so long for you to go to the bathroom?

The movie is about to start.

I got lost.

You can get lost for going to the bathroom.

Look around.

Is there any obvious sign around you?

There is an escalator in front of me.

Okay.

Stay there and wait for me.

I'm coming right away.

Qiu Jianing.

You are so quick!

I thought I would wait for a long time.

I really want to cut out your cerebral cortex,

and see

what caused your

cancer of direction.

The cinema is east of you.

How do I where east is?

I only know left and right.

What should I do?

Okay, you win.

My girlfriend left me at the cinema gate.

I should be the one to complain.

Don't be angry, okay?

It's my fault I can't tell the direction.

But luckily, we were at the mall.

If we were at somewhere

without phone signal,

you wouldn't be able to find me.

Jianing,

if one day you get lost again,

remember to go south.

I'll search for you in the same direction.

How do I know where south is?

Telling direction is actually very simple.

The easiest way is to look at the sun.

The sun is east of us before 12 o'clock.

And after 12 o'clock,

it's west of us.

Now it's afternoon.

So that is west.

Smart.

What if it rains and we can't see the sun?

Then we can look at the trees.

Trees need sunshine to grow.

So at the side with more sunshine,

the leaves are thicker.

So the side with thicker leaves,

is south in the North Hemisphere,

and north in the South Hemisphere.

Is it simple?

Do you know which one I like the best

among the ten things?

Watching fireworks.

That's because when I was little,

on one of my birthdays,

my parent set off fireworks for me.

I can never forget that day.

So later your mother left,

and the fireworks are gone too.

I don't know why.

I forgot most things

as a little kid.

But that firework show,

I can always remember.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday!

What wish did you make?

I wish mom and dad to get along well every day,

and never fight.

There are many kinds of memories.

Language memory, image memory,

olfactory memory, tactile memory,

and even mixed memory.

Language memory is the most accurate.

But sensory memory is the most unforgettable.

It's a miracle!

Qiu Jianing!

Our big scientist is learning to arrange flowers!

What?

Can't I arrange flowers?

I passed by the florist's today.

These look nice, so I bought these.

Sister, you deal with lab equipment every day.

How do you have the mood to buy flowers?

None of your business.

I see.

Sister,

there is something going on.

What thing?

You didn't buy the flowers.

Who sent you the flowers?

It must be Zhou Xiaoshan. Just look at your face.

What are you talking about?

It must be him.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

what did you do?

You've transmitted a serious scientist into a little girl.

Amazing!

Dear sister,

just tell me everything.

Zhou Xiaoshan

made a list of ten things

that couples must do.

And he said he would do all the ten things with me.

Which ten?

Sister, tell me!

Enough, Jiaxin!

You crossed the line.

Sister, stop keeping me in suspense!

You're the best person in the world.

Just tell me.

No, I won't tell you.

Qiu Jianing,

you are in big trouble.

I can't say it. It's so embarrassing!

Let me show you.

Here.

Ride the Ferris wheel together.

And...

Zhou Xiaoshan

could do such romantic things.

I can't imagine.

There is always one thing to conquer another.

Mo Li, here.

Eat.

I've had a lot. You eat.

Do you think I really want you to eat?

I'm afraid I'll get fat.

Okay.

Jiaxin.

Sometimes I feel that destiny

is a wonderful thing.

I never thought that

between Qin Bin and my brother,

your sister chose the latter.

My sister has always had strange tastes growing up.

I don't understand either

why she chose your brother over my mentor.

I'm not saying that your brother is not good.

Actually, according to my long-term observation,

your brother is quite right for my sister.

He is careful and sensitive.

He would make rice noodles for her,

and take care of her.

Do you know what the best part is?

What?

He made a list of ten things that couples must do!

Like riding the Ferris wheel together,

watching the sunrise and sunset together,

bending down to tie her shoes,

and crossing the road with eyes closed and hands held.

And he said he would do all the things with her.

My sister was so happy

that she even started to study skin care.

So,

as long as she's happy, I can be relieved.

Mo Li.

Mo Li.

What are you thinking?

It occurs to me that I have a class now.

I need to go.

Take it easy!

See you.

It's such a waste.

Hello?

Brother, I got the bonus money today.

Did you?

That's nice.

Are you available?

Let me treat you for a meal.

Okay, see you later.

Hey!

These are the statistics from the experiments.

You can have a look if you have time.

How were the experiments?

The mice are stable now.

Good.

Keep it up.

Qiu Jianing,

Mo Li got the bonus money today.

She will treat me for a meal.

Okay.

And I was thinking,

we could go together.

So I can introduce you as my girlfriend

to her officially.

Brother.

Mo Li.

Why is she here?

We meet again.

Mo Li.

Brother, I didn't tell you to bring your girlfriend.

Why did you make the decision without asking me?

I was running some errands with Jianing.

So we came together.

Hello, what soup base would you like?

Plain broth. Spicy broth.

Let's have a two-flavor soup base.

You can try our

newest fruit tea.

It's the perfect match for the hotpot.

Sounds good.

Young lady like you must like it. It can relieve the spice.

We'll have three.

There are three flavors.

Which flavor would you like?

Peach and pomelo, please.

I want kumquat and lemon.

We'll have one for each.

You order.

Can't you eat anything spicy?

It's bad for the skin.

But my brother likes spicy food.

It's not contradictory.

We can have a double-flavor soup base.

He can eat the spicy one, and I eat the plain one.

Respect is what matters in a relationship, right?

Excuse me,

your fruit tea.

Here you are.

Thanks.

Here you are.

Please wait for a second.

Duck blood.

Thanks for coming. Take care.

We are looking forward to your next visit.

Brother, let's go back.

I need to go back to the lab.

I should go.

Let's go.

♪I lost your news because of occasional deafness♪

♪I changed my old habits, leaving traces in life♪

♪Flowers wither and summer dies♪

♪Once stars shine and I feel pitiful♪

♪Our paths cross I heard the whisper♪

♪The invisible chains tighten♪

♪It's unlucky that time is merciless♪

♪I can't write it off♪

♪The reputation you left behind♪

♪You come, go, and squander time♪

♪In the crowds, sometimes distant, sometimes close♪

♪It's not your fault I can't let go of my feelings♪

♪Let your lonely shadow♪

♪Leave a mark in my youth♪

♪Please don't turn around from now on♪

♪The sorrow you left for me♪

♪Is so gentle♪
