Are you okay, Xiaoxiao?

Xiaoxiao?

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Such a trifle can't scare me at all.

I'm really fine.

What is it?

What is it?

You'd better not see it.

Throw it away.

What is it?

Nothing.

Have you checked the monitor?

I couldn't see anything.

We have voice-activated lights in this building.

And the man came in in the dark.

I can only check with property management

to see if there's any surveillance

inside the elevator.

I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao.

That's all because of me.

I got you involved.

Don't say sorry to me!

Pretentious!

Listen.

I was careless this time.

I'll teach him a lesson

if he dares to come again!

Come on!

You already turned pale.

So stubborn.

You need to change a place

to live these days.

What about living

with your parents?

No way.

I can't leave you

alone here.

Its' too dangerous.

Why don't you stay at my home?

My parents' house is roomy

and they seldom stay at home.

It's also very strictly managed.

Ordinary people can't get in there.

I don't think that's appropriate.

Why not?

Hang, see.

You can't understand

girl's thoughts.

She hasn't even met your parents yet,

but now you invite her to live in your home.

In what identity?

She will see my parents sooner or later.

That's still not appropriate!

What about this?

Since Hang feels worried about you,

what about

my moving to this house?

It will be much safer

if there is a man.

Don't tell me that

it was you who put the scary thing.

How could I do that!

Look at your expression just now,

just like a villain

whose trick had worked.

Which trick did I do?

You...!

Alright. Alright.

You two stop arguing.

How about your negotiations

with Wang Shu?

I haven't got a result.

He asserted that

they had voted

to choose the topic.

It was totally because

this thing went viral on the hot topic list

and they wanted to ride the wave.

As for the contents,

they were offered by the parties themselves.

They were neither inspired

nor embellished.

They didn't even

know it was such

big news before

and thought that they would make a fortune.

Right.

Contact the Shenliu News as soon as possible.

All conditions can be met

as long as they are willing to

remove the article.

OK.

OK. OK.

I'll contact you later.

My son?

Why did you come so late?

I want to go back to live for a few days.

Why didn't you tell me

in advance?

I haven't even changeg your bed sheet.

Come in. Give me.

No, thanks, mom.

Mom,

who were you calling?

Nobody.

Just a company staff.

You don't know his name.

I heard what you said.

You called him to

remove the article

from Shenliu News, right?

It's because I'm worried about you.

Mom, I know you're worried about me.

But I advise you not to do that.

Why?

This can only make the problem

more complicated.

They would feel that

I performed academic cheating

but was actually supported

by shady capital.

The credibility of research institutions

will be further questioned.

Or even worse,

the social evaluation of SP

may be adversely affected.

You should consider it

more carefully.

Dear son,

you've got a point there.

It seems that I'm too impatient.

Well.

I'll call back again.

I won't force them to remove the article.

Take it easy.

I can deal with

my own business.

Don't worry.

And my bed sheet,

I'll change it by myself.

I'm not a kid anymore.

You should go to bed early.

Good night.

Hang.

Don't flaunt your superiority.

You just do it if you can cover the problem.

But if not,

you still have me with you.

I don't care about the so-called credibility

or social evaluation.

I have struggled with my business for so many years.

And now I think everything

will be meaningless

if I can't protect my son

against malicious slander.

Mom.

Thank you.

You can cast away your company,

工but the rest of the staff

can't lose their jobs.

Don't get your head in the clouds.

Don't worry.

I'm alright.

OK?

OK.

Cutie.

Do you want to sleep together?

Alright.

Get, get down.

What are you doing?

It's too early.

You finally got up.

I bought a surveillance camera

with...infrared night vision.

Now it's arrived.

It also has...an electronic cat's eye.

That sounds pretty impressive.

My god.

Don't stand there.

Hurry up, help us.

Take the thing

on that table.

Quick.

Quickly, stick it.

There. Quick.

Be careful.

Move it up a little. Up.

Higher. Higher.

Higher. Higher.

Higher.

Never mind. Get down.

Get down.

Stick it there. Come here.

Quickly! You are too slow!

OK. Here.

Let me do it.

OK. Stick it.

But for what happened

was scary and vexing,

this scene is

kind of cozy.

It's like pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Come here. Come here.

Look.

That car.

In my memory,

that car has been parked outside

for two days.

That's suspicious.

Lingling,

I think you'd better

not to go to the lab.

No, I can't.

Mr. Zhang and others

have stayed up all night.

I have to go to the lab

and change shifts.

Take it easy.

It's in broad daylight.

He can't do anything bad.

But,

remember the car number

and keep the evidence.

Clever.

Kid.

You're finally here.

Alright.

Haven't eaten breakfast, huh?

Hurry up. Eat some breakfast.

Jing and I will take over the work.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

You have tried so many times

in the past whole day!

You bet!

We didn't even close our eyes.

We had already discussed in the

chat group with guru

and speculated about possible

problems with the materials.

We've already set the direction,

so we tested it overnight.

Guru can get back to our team sooner

if we finish the test earlier.

Not so,

working with you guys all the time

isn't so productive.

You wimpy kid!

What are you saying!

I stayed up all night.

I'm gonna die.

But you still beat me?

Alright. Alright.

Well.

We'll leave it to you

and we'll go first.

I'm too tired to continue.

Take the breakfast.

Thank you.

You've had a long day.

We'll leave.

Bye.

Bye.

Uncle.

The cleaning worker

has no authority to get in the lab.

You just clean the corridor.

Qingyi.

with only two days

you recognized me as an uncle.

You are so brave.

Guru!

I...I was wrong.

Lanhang.

Why are you here?

You're not the only one

who can't stand a day without doing experiments.

This is our last bastion.

What if we get caught?

It's OK.

I've asked the Professor.

Although I'm not allowed to

do experiments as a member

of the research team,

now I have changed to another identity.

I'm a cleaning worker.

I guess no one can impede me now.

It's suitable for you.

Lanhang,

so every dog has its day.

I didn't expect you to be in such a situation.

Only when I have experienced

your life

will I know

how to love you in a better way.

Get to work.

We are going back.

Too tired.

Lingling, Headmaster Zheng wants to see you.

I'll be right there.

Bai Lingling,

I guess you've already known

what had happened.

I don't know.

Then I'll say it directly.

The love affair between you and Yang Lanhang

caused uproar in our school.

Crucially, it also involves the issue

of fairness and justice

in graduate enrollment.

It has had a very bad effect on

the reputation of our school.

But compared with this,

isn't the impact of

academic fraud worse?

I'm just pointing to a fact.

Academic fraud will definitely

be investigated by the

Academic Inquiry Committee.

But your relationship

did have

a bad effect on our school.

I heard that

it's because of you that

he refused to stay for teaching.

You are ruining his future!

He refused to stay for teaching?

Didn't he tell you?

Lanhang is

a rare talent.

We're the elders who

watched him grow up.

He wanted to be a teacher

since his childhood

because he liked the academic atmosphere of universities.

His parents

knew that clearly.

If he'd like to stay

we'll definitely nominate him ,

for the coming election of

Distinguished Young Scholars.

But we didn't expect that

such a scandal to appear.

We don't want to see him

be ruined like this.

Have a look at this.

This is the last quota of the university

to go abroad on an official assignment.

What you should do is just

go back and sign it.

Headmaster.

For the problem

of academic cheating,

how would you

prove that he is innocent?

You don't need

to worry about that.

All you have to do is

sign up and then

return here

for the formalities.

If it's just like

what you said,

you love Yang Lanhang as your own kid,

then I think the most important thing at this time is that

how to cleanse him of the

stigma of the academic fraud,

instead of trying to

get me out of here.

I'm not that important.

I feel guilty that

you gave me such a heavy stake.

It's true.

You might as well

ask me to take his place for the academic fraud.

If so,

I might feel a little more peace of mind.

What the hell are you talking about!

Just kidding.

Please don't be serious.

Anyway, I won't go abroad.

I'm not interested in it.

It's too hot for me

to hold something that doesn't belong to me.

But I won't give to others

what belongs to me either.

I passed the postgraduate entrance exam

with blood, sweat

and tears.

If you think

there is something

concerning fairness,

it's okay for me

to cooperate with all forms

of investigation.

But no matter what the consequence is,

I won't leave Yang Lanhang anyway.

I like him,

I love him,

so I'll consider for him

and do what he likes.

He

had given up

so much for me

but he had never let me go.

So will I.

Why should I let him go?

OK. I finished my words.

We are quite busy in the lab.

I need to go now.

You...

You know know what happened.

Assistant Chen is awesome.

He had investigated

Tang Shun thoroughly

about his personal information.

He is not on a trip at all.

He just stays at home.

It's of no use to find him.

He can only tell us a pack of lies.

That's a libel,

and he should be punished by the law.

We might as well think about

how we can get him to tell us the truth.

Aren't you dizzy?

Stop writing.

No.

You know what?

I wrote an article about the touching love story

of Lingling and Yang Lanhang.

The backstage data is pretty good.

It already has nearly 10,000 readers

in the past one hour.

Next,

I should continue to write it.

What's the content?

I wrote a story of

a genius scientist

suffering from a serious illness

and a poor girl

with a clever mind.

After seven years of online love,

they experienced nearly 20 years

of entanglement

and finally broke through

the obstacles of reality

and fell in love with each other.

But what greeted them

was a new heated debate

and a criticism from the world.

Why are you laughing?

Just tell me whether you want to see it?

Don't you feel that it's too dramatic?

Dramatic?

Just tell me. You want to see it or not?

I want. I want.

I can't wait to see it.

If this story

was printed in a magazine

ten years ago,

it will definitely be sold out.

Really?

I said it.

What's it?

Nothing special.

I'll get down and see it.

Who?!

Who are you?

Get out of the way!

Back off!

Back off!

Back off!

Are you okay?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Just skin trauma.

How could they beat you

to such an extent!

They are villains!

In broad daylight!

Come here.

Come here.

Do you want to lean on it?

What the hell happened?

Where did they come from?

Don't worry.

The automobile data recorder was recorded.

They won't run away.

This is Hang's car.

I guess they mistook me for

Hang just like you did before.

I didn't do that before!

I just threw trash at you.

I didn't hit you.

And I didn't hit you

to such an extent.

I'm so sad.

I haven't met anything good

after meeting you.

But I think it's worthwhile

to see you crying for me right now.

What are you saying!

My laptop was left there.

I....

Headmaster Zheng

found you in the daytime.

What did he say?

Nothing important.

Just some professional topics.

Now we have

done repeated tests

in different directions.

When we prove that

there is no problem

with this material,

can we prove your innocence?

That can only prove that

there's nothing wrong

with our materials and our

animal testing procedures.

But now they're saying

we faked the experiments.

In the past,

you would have said,

'Well, we've been

working for nothing.'

We can't think of it that way!

We do repeated tests

to prove the safety

of our materials,

right?

Making experiments don't like making shows.

Also,

we need to guarantee that

our data is safe forever.

We should have confidence.

Did I look like that?

You did!

Wasn't that a good imitation?

You were just like this!

They are Yang Lanhang

and Bai Lingling.

How ridiculous.

She passed the postgraduate exam because of her boyfriend,

but now she should dare to display it

in public!

She is disgraceful!

I read a lot of people online saying that

we were like a tortoise matching a dog.

Can you tell me

which one would you like

if you must choose one?

Must I choose one?

Tortoise has a long span.

It moves slowly

but has a beautiful shell,

which can also be made into Chinese medicine.

Dog.... Its life span is shorter.

But it's fluffy.

So cute.

It's hard for me

to choose.

Then I'll be a dog.

You want to be a dog?

OK. Then I'll be a tortoise.

Sure.

Bye.

Then, I'm leaving first.

Okay.

You should be careful

since you drive home alone.

It's okay.

Bye.

I'll watch you leave.

Okay.

Bye.

Have an early rest.

You sick freak!

Is it you? Is it you?

Nuo, it's me.

It's me.

You... Why are you here?

The netizens can even

find out your address.

I'm a little worried.

Your auntie wanted

to invite you home.

I know you must disagree.

But I feel worried.

So I came to pay a visit.

So...

that car...?

Yes.

During these days,

you've always stayed here?

No. No.

The cousin of your auntie

and I came in shifts.

He came during the daytime.

And I came at night-time.

You...are in such an old age,

why are you still displaying gallantry?

You think

I would feel touched, right?

I don't mean that.

I, I'm afraid that you might have an accident.

If it's really so,

I...

How can I explain this to your mom?

Alright.

You go upstairs.

I'll leave.

You...

Have you eaten anything?

What about

going upstairs and having some water?

Forget it if you don't want to.

I will.

I will.

Be quiet.

Hold on.

Don't...don't grab me.

Be gentle. Be gentle.

Hold on. Hold on.

You're back.

Who's he?

Well.

This is my dad.

And this is Guan Xiaoyu.

Hello, uncle.

Hello. Hello.

Hello, uncle.

I'm Guan Xiaoyu's boyfriend.

My name is Ouyang Yifan.

No one will think you are numb even if you keep quiet.

What's wrong with your face?

Could it be that you hit him?

I was a scapegoat.

I just happened to

look pitiful.

Uncle, have a seat.

Don't stand there.

Uncle, sit down. Sit down please.

Thank you.

You must have taken care of

Lingling so much.

It doesn't matter.

Uncle, take a seat first.

Have a seat and I go fetch you some water.

Okay.

Uncle,

why did you come

to pay a visit today?

So that car is yours.

Yes.

It's mine.

Oh my god.

I'm deeply touched

by such deep paternal love.

Maybe next time

when you meet him,

you can smile at him.

I think your father

has been missing it for a long time.

I've heard that

every dad would guard against

his daughter's smile.

And they will strive for it.

I did as what you said.

I smiled at my father.

I didn't expect that he would weep.

At that moment, I suddenly felt that

he seemed old.

Actually, in my childhood,

I always felt my dad

would never age.

But today,

I,

I somehow felt

that he was not so tall

and strong as

I imagined.

He was quite fragile indeed.

Yes.

After we grew up,

our parents aged

before we knew it.

You know, my dad

always called me Nuo.

I felt annoyed

every time

he did,

because he had divorced my mom.

I didn't want him

to call me Nuo.

But I didn't expect

to feel more sorrowful

when he called me Lingling.

You can smile more at him

when you meet him next time.

Okay.

It's getting late.

Have an early rest.

You too.

Good night.

Good night.

And...

I love you.

I love you too.

Alright, have an early rest.

Good night.

Mom,

isn't that enough?

Hang,

it's so late.

Who did you call?

My girlfriend.

Is she Bai Lingling?

Of course.

Now that you love her

and she loves you too,

seek a chance

and invite her home

to have a meal with us.

I'll cook some delicacies for you two.

Really?

Of course.

Alright,

have some hot milk

and then an early rest.

Good night.

Good night.

My mom wants to see you.

See you now?

I feel really uneasy.

Yesterday, Headmaster Zheng

told me that for me,

he gave up the chance to

be a lecturer at Huaihai University.

Do you think she wants to talk about this matter with me?

More than that chance.

He gave up

vying for Distinguished Young Scholars as well.

If I were his mom,

I might really want to

break you up.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Don't be anxious.

And you should not deny yourself.

Listen to me.

You are not below him.

You're right.

It's just that

my grades are a little poorer than his.

My achievements are less than his.

My family is somehow poorer than his.

And my background

is somehow complicated.

I'm done.

I am below him

too much.

You see.

For my condition,

I still date Yang Lanhang.

Is it that I don't

have a clear estimation of myself.

No. You're great.

You.

I might as well punch you to wake you up.

Believe me.

You should behave

like what you did

to Headmaster Zheng yesterday.

That...that was a special circumstance.

I could not be timid at that moment,

could I?

No.

I think you thought too much.

My auntie is quite nice.

She is your auntie.

Of course, she is nice to you.

It's not that you are dating

Yang Lanhang.

I got an idea.

I pretend to be sick and I won't go.

No.

I still think

sooner or later,

the day of reckoning will come.

Listen to me, you should go.

Come on.

Better a little loss than a long sorrow.

Come on. Get up.

No, what are you doing?

Go. Go. Go.

Pick up a beautiful garment.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

My dad is not home today.

So there's only my mom,

the housekeeper and me.

Okay.

So you don't need to be reserved.

Just make yourself at home.

Be careful.

Mom, Lingling is here.

Lingling is here.

Come on. Come on. Take a seat.

Hello, auntie.

Ms. Zhang,

bring the fruit here.

Okay.

Pretty girl.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Well, mom,

this is a plant

Lingling selected for you.

I, I

have no idea about whether you will like it or not.

Of course I do.

Plants have long roots

and mean something propitious.

Why don't I like it?

Hang,

you stay with Lingling.

I have specially

cooked soup for Lingling today.

I'm going to see if it is ready.

Auntie,

is there anything

I can do for you?

Look.

Look.

My son is more than

20 years old.

And he has never offered

me some help in the kitchen.

Sure enough, daughter-in-law is more considerate.

Mom,

you might scare her.

Is it that serious?

Lingling, did I scare you?

No. No.

Go, go, go. Go

Go.

Go. Go.

Ms. Zhang, you did a great job today.

There's no work for you anymore.

You can go back early.

Okay. Okay.

Thank you for your great work.

Hang,

go to the cellar

and fetch the wine that I've treasured

for years.

Hurry.

Yes. Yes.

Lingling, take a seat.

Sit down.

Lingling,

I have something

to talk to you alone

in Hang's absence.

Alright.

Take it.

Auntie, sorry.

Please don't behave like that.

I won't leave Yang Lanhang.

Lingling, what are you thinking?

This is a Centurion Card of SP.

I've thought about it for a long while.

I really have no idea

about a proper gift

for our first meeting.

I'm afraid that you won't accept it

if it is too expensive.

So I asked the public relations department

to specially make this for you.

A Centurion Card for VIP.

Look, there's your name.

It's true.

How's that? Do you like it?

Yes.

Thank you, auntie.

Take it.

Then I'll take it.

Sorry,

I watched too many TV plays.

Lingling, tell me the truth.

How do you

think of my son?

He's really nice.

Really?

What's wrong, auntie?

Actually, this is the first time

my son has brought

a girl home.

And it's my first time

to be a mother-in-law.

I'm quite a green hand.

I even have no idea about what I should ask you.

Lingling,

what about this?

Let's add friends on WeChat.

Then I can ask you

if I think of something. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

Here. You scan my code.

Mom.

Mom.

You, you

should not invite Lingling

into our family's group chat.

Why?

We've been one family.

Why can't we be in a group chat?

No. You silly kid.

Just ignore him.

Okay.

I got in.

You eat less.

You've eaten quite a lot of ribs.

I bought these for Lingling.

Stop eating.

I'm still growing up.

Eat one more.

How can you be growing up?

You are tall enough. Don't eat.

I'm thin.

Lingling, come and eat by yourself....

What's wrong?

You see, these marketing accounts

have apologized.

But why do netizens still criticize him?

It's normal.

Now everyone online thinks himself Sherlock Holmes.

They behaved so righteously that

they seemed to be

part of justice.

Even if these marketing accounts have admitted that

they were following the trend to bring shame on him

and apologized,

it wouldn't work

as long as they believed that Hang cheated

in scientific research.

See,

Li Feifei was abused because of that, too.

So, it's proven that

it's easy to verify what we've done.

But to verify

we didn't do anything wrong,

it's too hard.

Unless,

unless that monkey is still alive.

Is Zoey alive?

It's just an assumption.

It has died.

It's a fact, isn't it?

No.

Think about it.

It's Tang Shun who said Zoey was dead.

But from beginning to end,

only he said that.

And what he said

was always changing.

He told us

that Zoey died two or three days ago.

But he told the media reporters that

it happened four months ago.

What matters more is that

no one has ever

seen Zoey's body.

There's even

no official report about that.

So he might have lied

about Zoey's death.

There are so many monkeys

and each of them

looks similar.

No one will go check it,

right?

According to your words,

in for a penny and in for a pound,

will he just kill Zoey

since he was lying to us.

What are you thinking?

You must be overwhelmed by literary creations.

If Lingling is right,

that means Zoey is still alive.

Then he just believed that

we could never find it out

and talked at random.

Anyway, a lie doesn't cost much.

But if he chooses to kill the monkey,

it means a greater chance to give himself away.

I finished.

I have to go to the zoo.

Now?

You haven't eaten breakfast.

Yes, eat something.

You are so thin.

You two keep eating.

You said too much.

I'll eat it if she doesn't.

Where's Lingling?

Bai's gone to the zoo.

Didn't she tell you?

The zoo?

She made a hasty call

this morning

and said she felt somewhat strange

about Zoey's death.

So she went to check it out.

Then I should tell her later.

We should not waste time

on this matter.

But Yang,

as long as this has not been figured out,

you have to suffer shame

because of it.

Lingling

must be more anxious

than each of us.

A clean hand wants no washing.

There's no use to be anxious.

Lingling?

How's it?

But

I believe

that Zoey is still alive.

He must still be there.

Tomorrow I'll go there again.

I'll go there tomorrow.

Let's go there in shifts.

We can find it sooner or later.

Okay.

No going anymore.

Why don't you want us to go?

Didn't you notice that

Zhang was silent?

We are scientific researchers,

instead of criminal investigators.

Each minute should

be treasured.

I don't want you

to waste your time and energy here.

I don't think it is a waste.

As long as you can wash the shame,

I can even abandon my slumber.

Alright.

I believe you.

What about others?

And I don't

care about these.

I know you are for my sake.

And, the academic board

has plunged into an investigation, right?

They will work out the truth sooner or later.

Then when will they?

As long as they don't find the truth,

netizens will

keep abusing you.

Abuse? Then just let them abuse.

They can't harm me physically anyway.

What's more, I'm not the only victim.

See,

you are abused.

Li Feifei is also abused.

Zheng....

Wait a minute.

It's okay if they abuse me.

See what relationship we two have.

Of course, they can abuse me.

But why do they abuse Li Feifei?

Who is Li Feifei?

What's the relationship between you and her?

Why is she qualified to be abused?

You, according to your logic,

why do they

abuse Zheng Minghao?

saving a seat in the study room for you

has...has been exposed.

Why don't they expose

the photo of mine?

I saved a seat for you, too.

You...

you lost him because of your style.

I...?

When he saved a seat for me,

he dressed like

a hot-blooded teenager

and brought such a big toy bear.

Of course others would take photos of him.

Who would notice you?

So you are saying that

I'm too low-key?

I prefer low-key.

It's good to be low-key.

Is it?

Really?

Alright.

To be honest, whether Zheng Minghao

or Li Feifei,

or anyone else,

are suffering

such unexpected accidents because of us.

Should we send a message to them

to show our regret?

You're right.

But I don't want you to

send a message to Li Feifei.

I'll feel jealous.

Let me do it for you.

Then, for the sake of fairness,

let me send a message to Zheng Minghao.

Okay. Deal.

Right.

You should forget about Zoey.

I have to go there anyway.

Let me tell you....

Okay.

Then I'll go with you.

Don't get others involved.

Okay.

Auntie actually gave you

a custom-made Centurion Card

as a gift for your first meeting.

Is this rare?

Just a VIP card anyway.

Free parking

and a 15 percent discount when shopping.

Why do they prefer a card

as a gift?

Do they

think it saves space the best?

I can't afford it

even if she offers me the best discount.

I have no money

and no car either.

Parking has nothing

to do with me.

Here.

You two take it.

I don't need it either.

I've already had a lot.

Really?

Do you two have

any misunderstanding about this card?

This is a custom-made Centurion Card of SP.

There's few in total.

And it is not for sale.

Auntie didn't mean

some discounts when shopping.

You can just take what you want at SP.

For free.

Let me have a look.

You said you don't need it.

You said it.

I'll go shopping with you.

I'll go shopping with you.

With me?

What about buying

some clothes for Moustache?

You are rich!
