[Knight of the Rose]

[Episode 10]

Have you thought of where to go?

Not yet.

Do you want me to bring you to parties

and expand your horizon?

What?

You don't believe me?

Don't just keep lecturing me

while pretending that you're a veteran.

I don't know what you're up to.

After all, I'm a few years older than you.

It's only a few years.

Stop pretending to be mature.

You look like a student.

Is that so?

It's better for a woman

to be mature.

You should look at yourself in the mirror.

Mister, you look so dashing.

Look.

Even a child could tell how charming I am.

Come on.

Describe how dashing I am

to this lady over here.

I'll tell you if you buy flowers from me.

How much are they?

One for five,

three for ten.

Thank you.

Thank you, mister and miss.

You haven't described me yet.

Mister,

you're dashing from head to toe.

This is unexpected.

The charm of a computer genius

has even tempted a little girl like her.

Can't help it.

I'm that lovable.

Here you go.

Why are you giving me flowers all of a sudden?

I've already bought them anyway.

Do you want them or not?

I'll throw them away if you don't.

I'll entertain you this time.

When I was young,

my parents were especially busy.

They had no time

to take care of me.

But whenever they came home,

they would take me out, sell popsicles,

or do part-time jobs during the weekends.

When I was working,

they would keep an eye on me somewhere nearby.

They kept telling me

that I should correctly view the world.

Your parents are very open-minded.

I've never done those before.

My first job

is Mr. Wei's secretary.

You know what,

I even earned

my own school fees.

You're amazing.

You're outstanding indeed.

Xingxing rarely praises me like you do.

Maybe it's because

I always followed her when I was young.

She always treats me as a kid.

To each his own.

You cannot force it.

I mean,

you need to make Xingxing have a different impression of you.

I got it.

I could write to Xingxing.

Many girls have written to me over the years.

So...

(Mr. Wei hasn't confessed yet,)

(but someone else is already making a move.)

(No.)

(I cannot let that happen.)

Regarding the letter,

I think

you should think carefully before writing it.

It's best if you let me review it after you're done.

Are you going to be my love advisor?

That's right.

Okay.

With you as my advisor,

I have a bigger chance of winning.

Let's go.

I'll show you the grown-ups' world.

Meimei?

What are you doing here today?

Thank you.

It's been so long since I've seen you.

Did you miss me?

I did.

Meimei kept

telling us how much she missed you.

You've missed Ms. Hong,

right?

Is that so?

You see,

Lei told me

this and that.

In the end,

he didn't explain

what exactly happened.

So, what happened?

Yesterday,

Meimei conquered all obstacles

in the school's taekwondo competition.

In the end, she became the champion.

Not bad at all.

This little girl is great.

Excellent job.

Meimei got to where she was

all thanks to Ms. Hong.

Thank you so much.

Please don't be so courteous.

It's all part of my duty.

I know it's part of your duty.

But I need to tell you this.

This child of mine

has had a strong sense of responsibility since young.

She fulfills every task to the best of her abilities.

Indeed.

By teaching your child taekwondo,

she has given

everything she has.

That's right.

Before this,

Meimei used what you taught her

and hurt another kid.

He was even sent to the hospital.

I harbored a grudge against Ms. Hong.

That's...

However,

now,

I think

we should let her learn wushu from you, Ms. Hong.

What?

What did you teach her?

She actually sent someone to the hospital?

It was a mistake.

Before this, I only cared about

the technique itself

while neglecting the basics of wushu.

I changed it after that.

Listen.

She'll be going overboard

if she uses what she learned

in a fight.

However,

it strengthens the body.

It's something beneficial.

That's right.

So, Ms. Hong,

when you're free,

please teach her.

We'll pay you for your one-to-one teaching.

One-to-one teaching, huh?

I'm free.

I can teach her anytime.

That's great.

I think

you guys should stay for dinner.

I'll make my signature dishes

for you guys.

Just like the usual.

Give me a dozen tequila.

Do you come here often?

I used to come here often.

Don't tell me it's your first time in a nightclub.

You're a veteran.

I thought

you were an obedient child

when Xingxing said you had good grades.

Didn't you tell me

that you would show me the grown-ups' world?

Don't make empty promises.

(Dear audience,)

(if you have anything)

(to say to your loved ones,)

(you mustn't hesitate.)

(Grab hold of the opportunity and tell them to your loved ones.)

(Love)

(and cherish the present.)

(Now, I will dedicate our last song)

(for tonight, Love Signal, to everyone who's listening.)

Mr. Wei,

do you have anything else to instruct me?

Let me introduce someone to you.

This is my student, Qian Meimei.

This is my boss.

Hello, mister.

Hello, Meimei.

So,

Hong Xingxing,

tomorrow is Saturday.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

If not,

we can proceed with our usual morning training.

I have no plans as of yet.

But I need to take care of Meimei this weekend.

And I promised that I would teach her.

Do you mind if I let her join our morning training?

Not at all.

If so, why don't we meet up at the company

tomorrow morning?

♪I know the path forward is difficult♪

♪I don't mind being treated with indifference♪

♪I know exactly what you are thinking♪

♪Love is becoming clearer♪

Mr. Wei.

Let me introduce her.

She's Qian Meimei,

the girl you saw last night.

Today, she'll be your sparring partner.

A little girl like her

is my sparring partner?

Hello, mister.

You're much more dashing in real life.

Kid, you have excellent taste.

I guess

I can spar with you.

Bow.

Get ready.

Go.

Stop.

I can't do it.

You want me to bully a little girl like her?

Stop joking around.

She's my best student

in the children's wushu class.

Don't underestimate her.

She was even the champion of the school's taekwondo competition.

According to our seniority,

you have to call me Senior.

You're pretty arrogant for a kid.

Bring it on then.

Okay.

Get ready.

Go!

You've improved.

Of course.

Is there a reward for me?

Yeah.

100 squats

and 100 jumping jacks.

That's your warmup for today.

Okay, Ms. Hong.

Meimei,

I'll buy you something nice later.

Tell her that you can't do it.

Ms. Hong,

Wei Lan said he can't do it.

Don't listen to her nonsense.

I can do it.

Look.

Get ready.

Jumping jacks,

go!

Success doesn't come easily.

It all depends on you

whether or not you can win Xingxing's heart.

Hang in there,

buddy.

Why isn't there anyone home during the weekends?

Ms. Hong,

where are we going?

Ling Ting is waiting for us

at home.

So we're going home.

Meimei,

do you wish to have something?

Why don't we get some food?

Ms. Hong,

is Ling Ting handsome?

Yes.

Let's go home then.

-Okay. -Wait.

Meimei,

have you tried the fried chicken

beside the amusement park before?

Their fried chicken

is crispy

and fragrant.

You'll salivate when you smell it.

Why don't I bring you

and Xingxing there?

Ms. Hong,

I want to try it.

Meimei, be a good girl.

Fried chicken is too oily for you.

Your body is still growing.

You shouldn't take too much oily food.

Let's head back and have lunch.

Fine, we'll skip the fried chicken.

But what about ice cream?

There's strawberry ice cream,

mint ice cream,

matcha ice cream,

even cherry ice cream.

They're as huge as my fist.

Let's have some ice cream,

okay?

Kids cannot take too much sweet food.

Must you return home?

Can't you just let her

have a break during the weekends?

Fine.

I'll grant you two

my permission.

I'll bring you there,

okay?

I'll join you.

-Okay! -Let's go!

(Alright.)

(Now, it's the segment)

(you guys are waiting for.)

(It's your weekly horoscope reading.)

(Geminis must be)

(frustrated over their relationships lately.)

(Actually, for a Gemini, their relationships)

(are always dramatic and legendary.)

Hello?

Are you free?

It depends on

what you have in mind.

Come out.

I'll buy you a meal.

You're being this nice?

Let me consider it.

You still want to consider it?

Take it or leave it.

What are we having?

No. 23, Lindong Street.

My friend finally got us a reservation.

Forget it if you cannot come.

When?

In half an hour.

Okay.

What would you like to eat later?

I want some ice cream.

Okay.

We'll get you some ice cream later, okay?

Okay.

I want nice ice cream.

It's rare for you to take a walk, huh?

Don't be nervous.

Relax.

You're still as sensitive

when it comes to your safety distance.

I thought you'd been getting better.

It's only better

when it comes to you.

Other people should stay away from me.

Meimei,

do you want some ice cream?

I do.

Let's go.

I'll buy you some ice cream, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Cook For You]

I've ordered

today's main dish.

You can order anything else

you like.

I think that's enough.

Why did you suddenly

invite me out today?

Initially, I wanted to buy Xingxing a meal.

But she went out with Wei Lan.

She won't be home this afternoon.

It's hard to get a table here.

It'll be a waste if no one comes.

That's why I invited you here.

Fine then.

I'll treat you to a meal next time.

I haven't thanked you

for saving me yesterday.

That's fine.

Just don't fight for

strawberry tarts with me in the future.

You must be frustrated

that Xingxing isn't here.

Initially, I wanted to bring her

to the wooden house.

The wooden house?

White Sand Bay?

Have you been there before?

No.

But I've seen it on TV.

It's nice, right?

Xingxing and I had a promise

during the summer after she took the gaokao.

White Sand Bay?

Do you mean the one located in the suburbs?

That's right.

In the past, I wanted my father

to bring me there.

But he canceled the plan

as he always had something to do.

Do you like that place?

If so, I'll bring you there next month.

Next month?

That's right.

Your 18th birthday is next month.

It's your coming-of-age gift.

Sure.

It's a promise.

Okay.

But right before Xingxing's birthday,

Mr. Hong

sent her to the recruit training

in advance.

So, you guys haven't been there yet?

That was where we were supposed to meet

on her 18th birthday.

Back then, I wanted to celebrate her birthday for her.

But now,

I think I want

to confess to her over there.

Confess to her?

Isn't it too sudden?

To put it more accurately,

I'll propose to her.

Propose to her?

Wait.

How old are you again?

What are you thinking?

Sorry.

I wasn't laughing at you.

It's just that...

It's fine.

I do feel like I'm a laughing stock anyway.

But instead of

handing Xingxing

to an unreliable man

like Wei Lan,

isn't it better for me to take care of her?

I wish to bring her to the US.

I wish to get our wedding certificate in Las Vegas,

just like the good old American dramas.

After that, we can hold our wedding

on the lawn in the garden.

She never wears anything uncomfortable

like wedding gowns or dinner gowns.

She won't wear them.

That's why we'll wear sportswear,

jeans,

and jackets when we get married.

I know.

It's literally impossible

for that to happen.

Ling Ting, you see...

But I want to give it a try.

If so, has it ever occurred to you

that if she...

If she rejects me,

I will end my internship early.

After all, my expertise has nothing to do with Runshi.

I have no reason to stay.

A claw machine.

Which doll do you want?

I want the carrot doll.

Okay.

Move it over there.

Just a little more.

Press it.

I didn't get it.

Let me do it.

Here, Meimei.

Let me teach you

how to play this game.

We've already used four tokens.

Here.

Look closely.

You want this one, right?

Ready, set,

go!

One, two, three.

I didn't get it.

We're running out of tokens.

Just give up.

Wait.

I've already used the conquer theory

and probability theory.

Why couldn't I catch the doll?

From what I saw on the Internet,

playing the claw machine

depends on both the merchant's conscience

and a metaphysical premonition.

I don't believe it.

How will you go back?

My driver is waiting for me over there.

If so, I won't see you off.

Why are you making it as if this is a farewell?

It's not like I'm leaving tomorrow.

I'll pass my luck to you.

No matter when,

if you need someone to talk to

or drink with,

you can call your friends.

Okay.

[Ling Ting] (Would you visit the wooden house with me?)

Can he do it?

Do you think he can do it?

I don't think so.

I don't think he can do it.

He can't do it?

I think he can't do it.

This is so boring.

Why don't we buy one for him?

Let's go.

This is the wooden house that I told you about.

It's so quiet in here.

How long has it been since your last visit here?

I last came here

when I was celebrating

Xingxing's 18th birthday for her.

It's been five years.

You didn't come here and clean the house from time to time?

I found out about this place

through my family's house ownership certificates.

However, it has never been rented out.

I know how to perform magic.

Today...

Keep it down.

Don't wake her up.

I've had so much fun today.

Me too.

Now that we're adults,

we have plenty of things to fret about.

Since you're managing such a huge company,

I'm sure you have more troubles than me.

Therefore,

we need to find more chances like this

for us to laugh without worrying about anything.

I remember that I was this happy

when I spent time with my dad as a kid.

I'm really envious of you.

Envious of what?

I'm envious

that you share fun memories with your father.

You see, my childhood

only consisted of a small room,

books,

and my father's back.

It was boring.

That's why I want to thank you.

But why?

It's terrifying when you have no memories.

Thank you for creating

such wonderful memories for me.

(Xingxing,)

(I like you.)

(I wish to tell you that)

(right now.)

Do you have something to tell me?

Do you like me?

I...

I'm thirsty.

I need to use the washroom.

What?

Ms. Hong,

do you like this handsome mister?

I...

I...

I don't know.

You can

ask him.

I...

I was just joking around.

Look at how terrified you look.

If so, Mr. Wei,

I think

you need to tell

a better joke next time.

You can grab something to drink

in the washroom then.

Yeah.

Ms. Hong,

you like him, right?

I don't.

But the handsome mister likes you.

I have a hunch.

Little brat,

what do you know?

Of course I know.

The way he looked at you

was just like how my dad looked at my mom.

I saw it when I was pretending to be asleep.

Why did you tell the chauffeur to follow us?

How else can we take a walk then?

The life of a wealthy person is difficult to understand.

We still have a long way to go.

We'll be wasting his time here.

You should tell him to head home for dinner.

Can you not spoil the mood here?

I've already paid him for working overtime.

We still have plenty of time.

We can walk back slowly.

Look at their family.

It's so romantic.

We should do this when we have children

in the future.

My parents had a divorce.

I've stayed with my grandma since then.

If you guys wish to be my parents,

you guys can discuss it with my grandma.

♪I don't want to pretend♪

♪That I am very strong♪

♪The starlight you give me♪

♪Illuminates my future♪

♪Hang onto hope♪

♪We will ride the waves of life♪

♪Maybe it would be a long night♪

♪But I will wait for dawn together with you♪

We've arrived.

Where are we going tomorrow?

We can talk about it after she wakes up.

She woke up early in the morning

for your training session.

She's worn out now.

Okay.

Why don't you

head back for now?

Why don't you

head upstairs first?

Ms. Hong,

if you're afraid,

you should tell the handsome mister to stay here.

Little brat,

what are you saying?

When I sleep,

I won't be afraid

if someone

is keeping me company.

Handsome mister,

do you like Ms. Hong?

Just ignore her. She's just a child.

You're right.

We'll head home now.

See you tomorrow.

♪That brightens up our hearts♪

♪I will stay by your side♪

Hong Xingxing! I like...

♪Protecting our time together♪

Aren't I great?

Aren't I amazing?

Praise me.

This is brilliant.

You're outstanding.

You'll get an extra 20% for your year-end bonus.

Thank you, Mr. Wei.

I picked the supplier

with the fastest delivery time

out of 100 suppliers

which provides the best after-sales service.

Don't I deserve to be praised?

Of course you deserve it.

However,

first, you have to think of a way

to give it to her first.

Just give her directly.

Wrap it with roses

and head to Hong Xingxing's house.

When you knock on the door,

Hong Xingxing will open the door.

You can kneel on the ground

and offer this gift to her.

By then, you can speak in a low voice.

"Xingxing,

this is my gift for you.

It's our token of love."

The end.

You don't deserve

my praise indeed.

Think about it.

Hong Xingxing is strong-willed.

Do you think she'll accept

such a precious gift?

What should we do then?

If so, we have to be tactful about it.

That's right.

We need to come up with a plot.

We need to be direct.

But we cannot

be too direct.

Tell me your plan.

I need you guys to stage an act for me tomorrow.

You're no longer

the director of the R&D department of the Runshi Group,

Zhou Yilin.

Instead, you are...

Dear neighbors,

I'm Dr. Zhang, a volunteer doctor working for

the Association of People with Disabilities.

Please take a look.

Take a look.

Wait.

What if they ignore us?

Good question.

Ms. Sun,

as the only person

who has been in contact with Mr. Hong,

what kind of person

do you think Mr. Hong is?

He's passionate,

alert,

and nosy.

That's right.

That's why we need to use that to our advantage.

To express

the beliefs

of mutual helping,

all these gifts

are for free.

These are tokens of our sincerity.

Wait.

Hey.

Guys,

I know they're free. But you don't need to fight for them.

Calm down!

No way.

Hong Xingxing's father

was a scout.

If we only spend one night

coming up with these brochures,

he'll see through us right away.

What should we do by then?

We'll depend on your speaking skills then.

They ran out of gifts immediately.

This is pretty good.

Sir!

We're from the Association of People with Disabilities!

We're here to promote our events.

Sir,

come and take a look!

Mister.

Mister,

look.

Your brain activity

will turn into an electrical signal

and be relayed to this prosthetic limb

using the latest technology.

And the electrical signal will be relayed from the brain

your prosthetic arm within ten-thousandth of a second,

thus,

rendering you able to control your arm with your thoughts.

You understand, right?

This technology is very advanced.

It's truly something else.

I'm sure it's very pricey.

How much does it cost?

At this moment,

Mr. Hong is already tempted.

When that happens, he'll ask about the price.

Take note.

When Mr. Hong inquires about the price,

that's the signal that he has let down his guard.

During such an important moment,

we have to...

Mister,

you see,

we're still in the development phase

for this prosthetic arm.

We haven't mass-produced it yet.

Therefore, the Association of People with Disabilities

has to find

a suitable candidate for the prosthetic arm

to test and record the data

after using it.

So,

it's free.

But

we have strict criteria for the candidates

who can use this prosthetic limb.

For example,

the candidate has to be around 50 years old

and of sound mind.

It's best if the candidate is athletic

and has short hair.
