Chi Yan!

Let me help.

Careful.

I'll carry you upstairs.

Let me do it.

It's okay. I can do it.

I can do it.

Let me.

I'm doing it.

I want to do it.

Leave it to me.

I'll go up by myself.

I can do it.

Careful.

See you.

Hold on.

See you.

Take a good rest.

Bye.

Bye.

Go.

[Don't Run, My Summer Sweetheart by Chi Yan]

What are you doing here?

I thought you don't watch TV.

Writer's block.

I'm here for inspiration.

This is my house.

I can do whatever I want.

Look at that fish.

There.

It's gone.

Looks delicious.

That's a crab. I know that.

I've never had crabs before.

Which tastes better, steamed crabs or fried?

It's a romantic movie.

But you're watching it as a seafood documentary.

Is it a romantic movie?

I chose it 'cause there's fish in the title.

Who loves whom?

The little mermaid falls in love with a human prince.

But the prince doesn't love her back.

In the end, she turns into bubbles.

It is a sad story.

Then I'm done.

Say,

what is like, and what is love?

Why do you ask?

I just wanna know.

What is like, and what is love?

Do you like me?

Why would I like you?

Don't ask me this anymore.

It's okay if you don't like me.

Why are you running away?

[The Outpatient Department]

Does it still hurt?

No.

Move your leg a bit. Rotate it.

All done.

Chi Yan.

How is she?

She's doing well.

Right? See?

If you want to recover completely,

you need to rest for a while longer.

No unnecessary movements.

-Okay. -Does it hurt?

No.

Dr. Luo.

We've got two patients

asking for you.

Okay. I'm coming in a minute.

Okay.

Dr. Luo, you're so in demand.

I'm only in demand among patients.

I'd rather be less in demand

if everyone can stay healthy.

If everyone stays healthy,

you'll lose your job.

Right.

Well, it's just wishful thinking.

Okay, Luo,

we're fine here.

We won't keep you.

Okay.

Then I'll go check on other patients.

Thank you,

No problem.

Bye.

You seem to be extra nice to Dr. Luo.

He helped me a lot

in high school.

So, I respect him very much.

He's such a good person.

Doctors like him

are the true saviors of life.

No wonder he's so in demand.

Chi Yan.

Speed up and go past him.

Could you be more childish?

Speed up! We are going too slow.

That one even has smaller wheels than ours.

Come on.

[♫I want to love you in the simplest way♫]

Hold tight.

[♫The moment I think of your cute look♫]

[♫I want to spoil you♫]

[♫I want to feel you around me♫]

[♫As simple as that♫]

[♫I feel so at ease when I'm with you♫]

[♫I don't need to ask or guess♫]

[♫What is on your mind♫]

[♫Suddenly, I realize I can't live without you♫]

[♫Be my sweetheart♫]

[♫I want to hold you in my heart♫]

Let's take a break.

Carry on!

It's...

We're almost there.

[♫I hope you can accept me♫]

Go on. Let's do this.

Come on.

[♫I'm just a childish adult♫]

-Let's take a break. -Let's go.

The wheels are falling apart.

[♫You can't be bad to me♫]

[♫I'll hold you in my arms and never let go♫]

[♫Just like this, forever♫]

Let's have a rest.

[♫I'll love you forever♫]

The wheels are falling apart.

[♫I want to spoil you♫]

Xiao Xiu.

Uncle Fu.

Have a seat.

Sit here.

Don't move.

You still haven't recovered, right?

Oh, dear.

I'm fine.

And this is...

This is the owner of the bookstore I work in.

And you are...

This is...

I'll tell you the truth.

I’m a mackerel orange tabby cat.

Ta-da!

So, he's also a...

Can't you see from his figure?

Sit.

He looks like a fluffy orange cat.

Hello.

I am Chi Yan.

Chi Yan.

Is your grandpa Chi Renyuan?

You know him?

I didn't know you two

go way back.

Of course.

When I first arrived in the human world,

his grandpa gave me a secret recipe book.

I visited him often for cooking instructions.

Back then,

you were only this big.

You could barely crawl.

I didn't expect that

my grandpa knew cats from the Meow Planet.

I've been in the human world for decades.

No one can tell I am a cat

if I don't tell them.

She, on the contrary,

can easily blow her cover.

It doesn't surprise me at all

to hear she got hurt.

Xiao Xiu got hurt because of me.

Right.

I've already mastered

the human lifestyle.

If it weren't to save him, I...

I wouldn't have...

Fine.

Take the fish back

as supplement.

Thank you so much!

Did you buy them from the seafood market?

They are free.

I went offshore fishing.

Fishing?

Fishing

is one way for humans to catch fish.

I used to

go fishing with your grandpa.

He was good at it.

Almost as good as me.

Let's go

fishing with Uncle Fu.

What do you say, chap?

Wanna have some fun with us?

Are you in?

Of course.

I'm in.

Look.

Such good fish.

Look.

There are a lot of halibuts in the area.

They're swimming back now.

After casting,

reel in fast when you feel something taking the bait.

Xiao Xiu.

I'll help you if it's too heavy.

Okay?

Yes.

Alright.

I'll see who's the more talented

rookie today.

Let's go!

Watch how I destroy you without breaking a sweat.

Did I catch one?

It's moving!

Reel it in!

Reel it in!

How?

Hey!

Come on.

I...

Why are you laughing?

I'm just getting started.

Again!

It's so big.

Come on! Are you serious?

It's not fair.

You're not so much cat-friendly

as fish-friendly.

Be patient.

Well.

Is he using better baits than mine?

It's so big.

It's...

It's not fair.

Here comes a big one!

Uncle Fu, it's a big one, right?

God.

Uncle Fu.

I'm...I can't...

Your leg!

What about it?

How come it healed suddenly?

It's a miracle.

Actually, I have been...

I knew it all along.

Why haven't you said anything

and let me order you around?

You did save me,

the damsel in distress...

You are admirable.

Besides...

Never mind.

So?

Offshore fishing is nice, right?

I learned a lot.

You are just like your grandpa.

You have the personality of a cat.

So, we get along quite well.

We can make a big dinner tonight!

We've got so many fish.

I dropped the ball this time

and hurt someone else.

I think he'll be more alarmed from now on.

Our next attempt

will be trickier.

You dropped the ball

'cause you're a dumbass.

You went all out

and yet didn't hurt him even a little.

If you ask me,

you might as well try something simpler

but efficient.

Where did you get this?

It's illegal in the Meow Planet.

If everything can be bought legally,

what will I make money off of?

Get me a large amount of it,

money is not a problem.

The more money you have,

the more I can provide.

Boss.

What do you want?

Your new book is selling

way better than expected.

The publisher called me.

They want you

to seize the opportunity

and host a book launch party.

These are the potential venues

I had in mind.

Take a look.

How are the three venues different？

Well...

I don't know which one to choose.

So,

I want to ask you.

If I need to decide everything,

what do I hire you for?

Yes.

Okay.

I will go find a better one.

Wait.

You said the sales are good.

How good is it compared to the last two?

According to current statistics,

it'll sell better

than the last two.

Okay.

Don't worry about the venue.

I just thought of a perfect place.

Where?

Hello?

Chi Yan.

The draft of Summer Sweetheart is not good.

Besides, you're way behind the deadline.

I was told that

if you miss the deadline again,

they'll cut your pay in half.

Hao Qingsong.

This is the most challenging thing I've written,

you know?

Besides,

you haven't paid me for my previous works.

Just be grateful they still haven't canceled it.

The other writers

can deliver over 10 thousand words per day.

10 thousand...

Are those words even readable?

The lovey-dovey stuff is a no-brainer.

Why are you so slow?

I...

I can write.

But it takes time for me to deliver quality stuff.

Whatever.

You need to write faster

and remember to write more of the lovey-dovey stuff.

Hello?

Chi Yan.

Here's the thing.

I feel bad that I have to

call you,

but can you pay the past-due rent?

I need the money.

I'll pay the rent in a day or two.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hurry up.

Cash, right?

35 yuan.

The price has gone up.

Since when?

Since just now.

There are fewer good books

'cause you refuse to publish them.

Naturally, the price will go up.

It's 135 yuan now.

Fine.

I know it's harder to keep business afloat these days.

Oh, right.

A writer that we partner with

wants to host

a small book launch party here.

What do you think?

We don't do commercial events here.

We'll pay for the rent.

Just give me a number.

Which writer?

It's confidential.

It's just that we think the ambiance here

matches that in the novel.

We'll work on the publicity of the event,

which will bring

more customers to your bookstore.

It's a win-win.

Then let me be upfront.

I only provide the venue.

I don't cater

or wait on the guests.

We'll take care of all that.

Don't you worry!

Bye.

Is your leg fully recovered?

You can take a break if you feel tired.

My leg is fine.

It's my back that's hurting now.

Your back?

What's wrong with it?

I was moving all the bookshelves

in the bookstore today.

I also cleaned the place.

Between you and me,

a writer is throwing a book launch party there.

It's gonna be big.

Who is it?

No idea.

Quite a mystery.

But at least we're getting paid.

It'd be great if Chi Yan can have

a book launch party one day.

Does he write?

He's a great writer.

But he used to keep it a secret

'cause he doesn't want to get famous.

I've read his works.

Absolutely amazing.

You don't have to be good to be famous.

It doesn't really matter if he's a good writer.

It's all about marketing.

You are so cynical.

When is the party?

This weekend.

What else do you provide

other than the venue?

That's it.

The organizer will

take care of the rest.

What's so important

that you need to wait till we're closed?

Here's the thing.

I want to show you a business proposal, ma'am.

How many times have I told you

not to call me ma'am?

That makes me sound old.

Call me Xiao Yu.

Chi's Bookstore?

Isn't it the bookstore nearby?

A small store

with few customers...

Aren't we gonna lose money

if we do this?

That's what I had thought.

But then, a friend tipped me off.

The host of the book launch

is an internet influencer.

He's got many fans.

If we can cater the party,

we can take advantage of his popularity

to promote our pub.

Now that you put it that way,

it kinda makes sense.

Great.

I'll make some calls.

There's no hurry.

This proposal is too simple.

There are a lot of details

we need to discuss.

Come.

Sit with me.

Let's have a nice chat.

Okay.

Careful.

We...

What are you doing here?

Launching my new book.

I have to since it is selling so well.

My fans have been urging me to meet them.

Hold on.

The mysterious writer...

Did you do this on purpose?

Your bookstore is small and shabby.

This is free publicity.

Shouldn't you thank me for it?

You must've forgotten what happened last time.

Do you need me to remind you?

I'm warning you.

I paid for the venue

and the services today.

You need to behave your best.

Zhang Yi!

We're big fans.

Can I get an autograph?

I am your fan.

Can I get an autograph, Zhang Yi?

Take it easy, guys.

There's no hurry.

There's time for you to get your books signed.

Gross.

What's that saying again?

His attitude turns on what?

On a sixpence.

Yeah, that's right.

Here's another saying.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Cold?

Not a chance.

I can't wait for it to get cold.

I...

I want to...

Just get to work.

What did you feel

after reading the book?

Hello.

Do you know the writer well?

Yes.

I've been a fan for years.

So, you must've been looking forward

to the Dark Alley Mob\i0} series, right?

Of course.

We've got many loyal fans

here today.

Let's wait for him together.

Okay.

The launch party of Dark Alley Mob: The Gospel of Killing

will start soon.

Let's welcome Mr. Zhang Yi!

Zhang Yi!

Before we start,

we've arranged an interview session.

Dear journalist friends,

it's your time.

Mr. Zhang,

the popular opinion on the internet

is that the quality of your works is going downhill.

What do you think?

Sir,

we don't want to hear...

It's not true.

We've responded to it.

It was due to the leak of the first draft.

Now that the book is launched,

there's no point dwelling on it.

The villains in the Gospel of Killing

all have distinctive personalities.

May I ask about your process

when creating those characters?

Sorry.

I didn't hear you clearly.

It's about the villains in the book.

What was your process?

Oh, my process.

People always try to figure out

the process of a writer.

But for us writers, it often comes

quite naturally.

It is...

Perceptual.

A flash of inspiration.

Yeah, inspiration.

Can you tell us

how you get inspired?

Or, how did you discover your talent?

I think

Mr. Zhang might become too close

to the characters he created,

so it's become hard for him to break character.

I am the owner of the bookstore

and a big fan of Mr. Zhang's works.

I know him personally.

So, I think I can answer

this question for him.

The readers of the series

are most drawn to

the villain characters.

These villains

are outlaws

that challenge the boundary of humanity

and morality.

They're crazy people

who want to prove to the world

that everyone can become

a devil like them

as long as

there's a trigger.

They are dangerous and thrilling.

I was drawn to them from the beginning.

I think the same goes for all of you.

Yes, you're right.

This has always been my style.

Readers who know me should get it.

But in the Gospel of Killing...

I think you've all read it.

It doesn't have a villain like the ones I mentioned.

What does he mean?

I don't know.

I think

Mr. Zhang was trying to be more innovative

to bring something new for us.

Right?

What is he doing?

I know!

I think Mr. Zhang

must've mistaken this book

with the one he's writing now.

And he got confused.

Okay.

Let's move on to the next segment.

The book signing.

Come on.

Please sign it for me.

I want one, too.

Thank you.

Chi Yan.

Good for you.

I didn't wait till the dish is cold.

Look! I got an autograph of Zhang Yi!

Great! I've got one!

This way, please.

Looks so good.

Sir.

Looks great.

The project I told you last time

was great.

As long as you're in charge.

I've got one!

Great! Look!

Thank you.

Great.

Thanks.

Mine!

Okay.

One by one.

One by one.

Lager.

Xiao Xiu said you like it

and asked me to bring you one.

Thank you.

Look!

Zhang Yi!

I've finally met you!

I am a big fan!

Can I get an autograph?

Okay, everyone!

Hold on a sec.

Mr. Zhang is a bit tired.

He'll take a break for now.

Okay.

Feel free to have a drink

or some snacks.

Here.

Where's Chi Yan?

No idea.

I'm asking you where he is.

Go find him yourself.

You're a waiter. Act like one.

Come on.

It's not my job to help you find him.

Why are you always picking on her?

What was that, Chi Yan?

Answer me!

Tell you what.

All these fans came to see me.

My name is on the cover of the book.

I don't care about your petty tricks.

You're nothing.

Zhang Yi.

I didn't

and will never think of you as my rival.

If I want to compete with someone,

he'd have to be on the same level as me.

I would never

bully the weak.

Think before you speak.

I must mean so much to you

that you want to spend all this money

and effort launching your book

at my bookstore.

I get it.

But to me,

you mean nothing.

Period.

Fine.

You've got balls.

Nevertheless, I paid

for the venue and the services,

right?

She's a waiter.

Go.

Get me a drink.

Okay.

Why should she get you a drink?

Is she your maid?

Let's go.

Chi Yan.

You wait!

Mr. Zhang spent two years

writing this book.

The outline alone took him half a year.

Suffice to say, he's put a lot of effort into it.

Right.

Mr. Zhang.

This is Mr. Li from the writer's association.

Nice to meet you.

Congratulations

on the new book.

Very inspirational.

We look forward to more of your works.

We look forward to it.

Mr. Zhang!

What's happening?

What's wrong?

Something's wrong!

Mr. Zhang! What's the matter?

Mr. Zhang!

Are you alright, Mr. Zhang?

It's...

Stop filming.

Call 911.

Call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

Luo!

Get his stomach pumped.

Hurry!

What was that?

Nothing.

Don't worry.

Zhang Yi is now back at home.

We'll release an official statement.

Xiao Xiu!

What happened?

I was watching it live

and Zhang Yi just fainted.

I don't know.

Chi Yan and I were just leaving

and he fainted here all out of the blue.

Where is Chi Yan?

In the hospital.

Can you take me there?

He asked me to watch the store

but I am too worried.

Okay.

I'll take you there.

-Did you drive? -Xiao Xiu!

Let's call a cab.

What's going on?

Mingming.

Why are you here?

I was doing an interview nearby

and saw it was chaotic on the street.

A writer was launching

his book here

and suddenly fainted.

Foaming at the mouth and all.

Foaming at the mouth?

I don't know what happened.

It happened so fast.

Chi Yan is in the hospital.

Can you drive me there?

Okay.

Let's go.

I'll go with you.

Can you watch the store for me?

Chi Yan is worried.

I...

-I... -There are a lot of people here.

Okay.

Call me

for updates.

Thank you.

Lin Mo.

Can you wrap this up?

I need to go to the hospital.

Okay, go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay.

Listen to me.

Go park the car right now.

I still don't know what happened to Zhang Yi.

I'll call you.

Yes, ma'am.

Ma.

How's Zhang Yi?

Nurse,

What happened to Zhang Yi?

He's still in the operating room.

He's not out yet.

The initial diagnosis is food poisoning.

We need to pump his stomach.

But we haven't found out what caused it.

Why haven't you found it out already?

What's taking so long?

What happened?

You know who he is, right?

If anything happens to him,

can you deal with the consequences?

This is a hospital.

Please calm down.

How can I calm down?

Chi Yan.

Zhang Yi

was throwing his party at your bookstore.

Tell me what happened.

Well...

Mr. Zhang didn't eat anything

at the bookstore.

He only had the drink that Chi Yan got him.

Chi Yan.

Why did you act on impulse?

If there's anything in your mind, talk to me.

What you did not only hurt him

but will also hurt yourself.

Do you know that?

Who are you?

Can you take responsibility

if anything happens?

Ma'am!

What's wrong with you?

Calm down.

How can I calm down?

You know what?

I think of Zhang Yi as my son, too.

We've developed a solid relationship over the years.

Chi Yan, just tell me.

Did you do it or not?

How could you do something

so cruel to Zhang Yi?

How could you!

Just admit it.

What's wrong with you?

You...

Chi Yan didn't even know Zhang Yi was coming.

Zhang Yi didn't tell us

he was launching his book.

He did it out of spite.

Now you're blaming us.

Ma'am, could you be more unreasonable?

Me? Unreasonable?

Go away.

Chi Yan, tell me

what happened.

Did you poison him?

Tell me!

Who are you? Go away!

Get lost.

I was...

I'm asking him. Tell me!

Did you do it?

Did you poison him?

You're such a coward.

-You... -It was me.

I brought him the drink.

You happy?

You...

You bastard!

You stupid fool.

You're so stupid!

Get out.

Leave!

Get out of here.

He did it.

It must be him.

Mingming.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Stop looking.

Nothing to see here.

Let's just go.

Don't stare at him, just go.

You bastard.

Are you stupid?

Enough.

Quiet down. We're in the hospital.

If you can prove it, report it to the police.

Otherwise, stop acting crazy.

It demeans you.

Doctor.

Stop yelling. What's that all about?

Doctor.

What happened to my Zhang Yi?

Thanks to his friends

who sent here in time,

he's out of danger now.

The initial diagnosis is food poisoning.

But we need to do further examinations

to find out more.

You need to

go through the process

for him to be hospitalized.

Thank you, Doc.

Zhang Yi!

Forgive me for not seeing you out.

I'll update you

on the patient.

Sorry, Luo,

for causing you inconvenience all the time.

It's okay.

It's my job.

Then we'll...

Chi Yan.

Don't take what happened today to heart.

I've trusted your integrity

and I will always do.

Your name will be cleared for sure.

See you.

Bye.

What's wrong?

Chi Yan.

Sorry.

It's...Have a seat.

I was just...

What happened in the hospital

brought me back to high school.

Back then, you were wronged

and no one stuck up to you.

I am sorry.

For what happened in the hospital?

You shouldn't be the one to apologize.

Back then, I behaved

like a coward.

I was too timid to defend you.

I know that

it's too late to say this to you.

What's done cannot be undone.

But I still think I should...

What's gotten into you today?

You know what?

I went to Mr. Yu's funeral that day

and ran into our classmates.

They were standing far away.

They greeted me with a smile

and came to chat with me

as if nothing had happened back in high school.

See?

Those who've truly hurt me

have willingly forgotten about it.

So, you should give yourself a break.

It seems that we did nothing wrong as bystanders.

But in fact,

we became accomplices the moment

we chose to keep quiet.

You know what?

It used to baffle me a lot.

I had nothing against those people.

I was always by myself.

From time to time, I'd feed the cats.

Why did they want to hurt me all the time?

They didn't even care about the truth.

I couldn't wrap my mind around it.

But I've grown up

and I've started to get it.

Back then, I was an outcast

to them.

The most effective way

for people to fit in is to bully the outcast.

Why didn't you

tell the teachers about it?

It was pointless.

The grown-ups would think

it was just kids messing around

and it'd pass in a couple days.

What are you doing?

I used to be selfish.

I thought if I didn't

ask anyone for help,

they wouldn't bother me, either.

I could do everything on my own

and live my life in solitude.

I thought maybe one day,

things would get better.

Chi Yan,

What Dr. Luo said to you today

is what I want to tell you.

I have always trusted you

and I will always do.

I couldn't defend you before.

I wasn't capable.

But I've tried my best to be a better person

ever since that incident.

I've become more courageous.

So, from now on,

I believe I am able to

prove your innocence.

Thank you.

I didn't get it back then.

But now I do.

Being able to ask for help

and rely on others

is in itself an act of courage.

So, Qin Mingming,

I hope you can help me.

Help me to find out the truth.

I'll help you, too.

[Chi's Bookstore]

Go upstairs.

I'll come back later.
