[Knight of the Rose]

[Episode 12]

Do you know who I like?

W...

Who?

The sun.

I like the sun too.

Everyone likes the sun.

You're right.

Everyone likes the sun.

Because everyone can feel the warmth

exuded from the sun.

But no one can feel the moon.

So, the sun can never understand the moon.

However, the moon isn't able to glow by itself

and there are craters over all its surface.

It only

shows up

on a lonely night.

The moon doesn't want that either.

Then,

what does the moon want?

It wants to be up in the sky.

So no one will discover

that it has no light.

Only the side that faces the sun

glows with dim

light.

Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei?

I will bring you to your room.

You are as heavy as a pig.

You better

forget everything I said.

They are just drunken gibberish.

Don't be shy.

You can call me for a drink

if something troubles you.

Don't keep it inside. You will feel awful.

Don't forget this.

You are not alone.

Xingxing.

Actually...

Didn't you say

that we were buddies

and besties?

We have had the drink and become sworn friends.

Sworn friends?

Yes.

Since we are sworn friends,

I will take great care of you.

Sworn friends?

Where are you going?

Go jogging and then go to work.

Are you sure

that is all I said

last night?

There is something else.

You said

you used to think that you were Superman

with the bed sheet tied on your back.

Yet you got punched when you went out.

Besides,

you stole fifty yuan from your dad.

You thought he wouldn't find out if you spent a little.

Hence, you spent only two yuan

and returned the remaining money.

Quit saying all these.

Nothing

else?

You have almost shared your entire life story for the past 25 years

with me.

What else haven't you told me?

Nothing.

Just keep it to yourself.

No worries, Wei.

I won't tell anyone.

Can't I call you that?

Wei Lan?

Forget it.

I'll just call you Mr. Wei.

Call me

by my name.

Have a good rest.

Hong Xingxing.

You are the sun.

[Wei Baofeng] Regarding Caicai's incident, I will let it slide

as to lure the one behind him out.

Considering the person who caused this incident

wasn't intentional,

per the company rules,

Caicai of Chairman's Office

will be deprived of bonuses for the year

and the criticism of his misconduct will be announced to all employees via email.

Ms. Yang.

Report to me about the financial progress in the last three terms of QW1.

Sure.

I will now report the last three terms of QW1's financial progress.

Mr. An.

[Drug Purchase of Runshi Group] These medicines will be discontinued next.

Runshi is not aware of this yet.

The Russian who is collaborating with Jiale

will arrive tomorrow morning.

Whether or not Wei Lan will swallow the bait

depends on you.

Why did you come to us for this?

You don't want Runshi to expand

and I don't want Wei Lan to be the chairman,

hence, the collaboration

between us

is a win-win situation.

Look forward to our cooperation.

Mr. An.

As you expected,

this is the data of antibody gene from the person who carries the disease.

According to the report,

this person has developed ascites.

It's an orthotopic transplanted tumour model of liver cancer.

If so,

Runshi's new anticancer drug

is in the stage of animal testing now.

Yes.

Oh, Wei Baofeng.

We have been fighting for years.

Yet you are still one step ahead of me.

Concerning their progress,

they need at least one year

for the drug to undergo human clinical trials.

I shall see

whether Runshi Group can survive a year

under the leadership of that young brat.

Ms. Hong.

This is your desk from now onwards.

Mr. Wei.

This

is inappropriate, isn't it?

What's wrong with it?

I came here to work,

not to have a good time.

Please assign me some tasks.

I can do anything.

Aren't you protecting me now?

It's safe in the company.

If so, keep a close eye on me

and make sure

that no human or creature can come near me,

including

mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes?

[Runshi's Western Market Expansion Proposal by the Marketing Department]

Mr. Wei.

I heard

that Runshi is going to expand the western retailing network

in the next three to five years.

Let me help you with the evaluation report.

Do you know it's a large amount of work?

I do.

I like challenges.

I will be so bored just sitting idly by

and watching you here.

These are all the documents you need.

This is a lot.

Is this what Mr. Wei usually has to review?

This is only a small part of his normal workload.

Didn't you realise that there is no general manager in the company?

It is because

the development planning,

important decisions,

personnel arrangement

and financial accounting

are all handled by Mr. Wei alone.

Mr. Wei has a brain

that works like a 128-core

high-speed multitasking processor.

All right, then.

I should work my best.

You can do it.

Let's go.

I will accomplish all in no time.

I'm going to finish all by today.

Gosh, I haven't finished the report.

It's done?

Ms. Sun.

Implement the requirements of the collaborators

in all departments.

Yes, Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Meixi.

Why haven't you left yet?

We were meeting the collaborators just now.

That's why we are late.

How is

the report you are working on?

Mr. Wei.

I thought it was a simple task.

Yet I only manage to do half in the entire afternoon.

But someone has completed it for me.

Thank you so much, Meixi.

And also the hot chocolate.

[Runshi Pharmaceutical Lab Facility]

You only deserve to be a back-up

for what you have done.

A back-up?

Helping her

on the down-low

just doesn't work to woo her.

You have to make use of your own advantage well.

What do you mean?

Batman,

Iron Man

and Green Arrow,

what do they share in common?

They are all superheroes.

Wrong. They are all well-off.

Being wealthy

is your powerful prowess.

The first step for you to show your love,

a deluxe dinner.

Three,

two,

one.

Mr. Wei.

Why are you here?

Lady,

would you do me a favour

of dining with me tonight?

Dinner?

Is someone who's on a diet

qualified to eat dinner?

Balancing workout and pleasure

will do a better effect.

Besides,

we eat a healthy meal with high protein

and low fat.

It won't be a nuisance for my dieting.

What do you say,

my coach Xingxing?

Well, then.

But

you need an extra hour of exercise tomorrow.

Where is she going?

Wait.

Why are you driving?

I should be the one to drive.

Pull over ahead.

Let's switch seats.

No need.

Such a hassle.

I feel bad to let a woman

do such a tiring task.

Let me show you

my gentlemanliness.

You have done thirty barbell squats

and sixty Bulgarian Lunges this morning.

It seems

that your legs are fine after the exercises.

If that is the case,

I shall double the exercise load.

Well...

I

can feel the pain in my legs out of a sudden.

I shall let you take the wheel.

Hello, Mr. Wei.

Your reservation is ready.

Please come with me.

Xingxing.

What is wrong with your arm?

Dislocated?

No.

Are you feeling unwell?

I'll bring you over there.

It's fine.

I'm good.

Let's go.

Xingxing.

Please sit.

Sir.

You reserved for the couple package.

Do you want to make any orders?

Why couple package?

Don't overthink.

It is because only this package is served in this restaurant

and there is nothing else here.

Sir.

This is unfair.

We serve various kinds of packages.

Don't you know about this?

You insisted to choose this.

Well.

You may leave now.

I will call for you if I need help.

Let's go shopping

after dinner.

What do you think?

Do you have anything to buy?

No.

No, it's for you instead.

No need.

I don't like going shopping since I was young.

I always get tired during shopping.

The second step of the dominant guy's romantic gesture,

expensive presents.

Concerning her character, she won't take the present.

Unless you find a suitable reason

for it.

Like what?

For example,

you take her for dinner

and you spill something on her.

And there you are,

you get a chance to buy her new clothes,

a handbag,

jewelry and whatsoever.

That makes sense.

I'm sorry.

My bad.

Mr. Wei.

What is wrong with your arm?

Is it dislocated or sprained?

No.

Have I done anything

that offended you lately?

No.

Why would you think that way?

Then, why did you throw food at me?

Don't you lie to me.

I have already realized your little tricks.

(It will be good if you do.)

It is a test for you.

Besides,

you are on duty to protect me now.

Plus,

many accidents happened recently,

so you surely will...

Really?

Don't overthink.

(I'm so tired.)

(I'm drained off.)

(Do others experience this on a date too?)

(I smell a rat.)

(It must be.)

(He acted weirdly just now.)

(He is looking at me again.)

(Is he)

(hiding something?)

(Well, then.)

(I will ask him.)

Xingxing.

I

like...

Wait.

Not now.

Are...

Are you cold?

You don't feel cold, right?

Me neither.

It is hot out here.

The third step of the dominant man's romantic gesture,

romantic surprise.

It must be a grand setup

to fit the demeanour

of the exceptional Mr. Wei.

For example?

A firework display.

We have been walking for some time.

You must be thirsty, right?

Do you want anything to eat?

I buy it.

How is your preparation?

Almost done.

Be quick.

Chop-chop.

(How come his words are irrelevant)

(and don't make any sense?)

Sun Meixi.

Why are you acting fishy over there?

I'm not acting fishy.

How did you know I'm here?

Did you follow me?

What is inside the box?

I'm performing a task for Mr. Wei.

Wei Lan asked Xingxing out today

and tasked you to station here.

What is he up to?

Well, it is nothing.

He just asked me to light the firework here.

Firework?

Listen.

This is the trick greasy old men

use to bewilder young women.

Xingxing is a naive person.

She can't be scammed by Wei Lan.

You shouldn't complicit in it.

But Mr. Wei is only 24 years old.

Why are you calling him a greasy old man?

Zhou.

Zhou.

I'm here.

The final step

of the dominant guy's romantic gesture,

an affectionate confession.

Thank you so much.

Zhou.

Wait.

Don't go yet.

Listen well.

You must hold the rose and walk towards her

after the firework reaches the middle of the sky.

The timing.

Timing.

Understood?

I'm glad to have you here.

Make

or break.

Make or break.

You!

Let go.

You let go first.

I will let go

after you do.

How can I let go when you don't?

I told you to let go.

Serve you right.

Thief!

Stop that thief!

Stop right there!

No way.

Stand right there!

She is doing a righteous deed.

Mr. Wei harbours a bad intention

for Xingxing and that's obvious.

Mr. Wei is sincere with her, okay?

However,

what a woman needs isn't merely the firework display,

roses bouquet or romantic confession.

If so,

what do women need?

Tenderness,

respect

and sincerity.

If a man loves a woman,

he will hold her dear

and protect her carefully.

And he will regard her as an individual with respect

and overcome any challenges together.

Most importantly,

he should treat her with a pure heart

and they should embrace everything about each other.

What is with that face?

Your words do make some sense.

You're indeed the romance advisor.

Of course.

Wei Lan.

Why are you so happy

after returning from the police station?

Of course I'm happy.

Today is a special day

for me.

[Kind-hearted Heroine, the Thief Taker] The owner specially made this

to show me appreciation.

I did catch a lot of thieves back then.

However, I'm so touched receiving this pennant flag.

Is this what you meant

by the special day?

Yes.

I'm so touched.

I'll roll it up.

I will hang it when I get home.

What is wrong with you?

I

mean,

aside from the pennant flag,

do you think

we...

You...

What happened to your hand?

Probably I got scratched

when I was chasing the thief.

It's fine.

No, it's bleeding.

This...

Wait for me here.

Just stay here.

By the way,

the bracelet...

Look.

It's nice, right?

This is my lucky bracelet. I cherish it very much.

Xingxing gave me this.

I can give it to you

to help change your luck.

No need.

Since Xingxing has given it to you,

it is yours.

I just want to transfer some of my luck to you.

Well, I won't force you to take it.

No, I didn't mean that.

Since you like it so much,

you should keep it.

Hopefully, it can protect you.

By the way,

what should we do with the firecrackers?

The firecrackers?

Let me ask Mr. Wei.

Oh.

Mr. Wei's confession plan

is blown off.

He must be pissed off right now.

I mustn't provoke his anger.

He won't want this even if you return the firecracker.

Why don't we

light the firework ourselves?

Light the firework?

Does it hurt?

You must have gone far to get this.

The pharmacies around here are all closed.

There is a 24-hour pharmacy

two blocks away.

Your wound will act up

if it's not taken care of sooner.

I'm not that delicate.

Such minor injuries often occurred

when I was performing tasks back then.

I'm used to it

and I couldn't care less about it.

I'm not weak.

You are just making a big deal out of this.

Is it a bit of a stretch when I'm concerned about you?

No.

It is just

that no one would treat me so gently

except for my father.

You have one now.

What?

Honestly, I feel the same too.

Except for myself,

I never pay too much attention to others.

Likewise, I'm not used to what I'm doing now

because I've never done this before.

That's why

I always talk stupidly

and act foolishly.

I used to think

that I have high intelligence

and I'm definitely rational.

I even acted

indifferently.

However, the truth is

I don't know myself well.

I lost my mother at a very young age,

and my father and I

aren't on good terms.

Plus, I don't have siblings

or even a pet.

I remember when I was little,

I saw a beautiful flower

on my way back home.

I wanted to shelter it.

However, I was clueless about what to do.

Hence, I plucked it

and kept it in my pocket.

Sadly, when I got home,

the flower wilted.

I was in pieces then.

I was frustrated as I didn't even know

how to express myself.

Until I met you.

Hong Xingxing.

You are a strange person.

You are the strangest one

of all people I've met.

I couldn't believe such a beautiful woman

would towards the bad guy without hesitating.

Even when you are injured

and vulnerable,

you don't feel any pain.

You are really strange.

It is done.

The wound has been disinfected.

I will buy the band-aid now.

Wei Lan.

You like me,

do you?

Yes, I do.

You said you liked the sun.

That I'm the sun.

You were confessing to me,

right?

Yes.

You sent me home that day

and you said something when I was closing the door.

You said you liked me,

right?

Yes.

The prosthetic limb for my father

wasn't the reward from the company,

but your confession instead,

right?

Yes.

In the gymnasium,

it wasn't the yoga ball that kissed me,

but you,

right?

Yes.

Wei Lan.

Yes, I do.

Hong Xingxing.

Can you

say that again?

I said,

yes, I will be your girlfriend.

No.

That should be my line.

Says who!

First come, first serve.

No way.

It is a waste for me.

I want to confess to you too.

It is too late.

You'll never get the chance again.

Hong Xingxing.

[Day 1]

Sit.

What happened?

Why did you ask for me?

It has been 25 years.

I have never experienced

such a thing.

What has happened?

Say it out.

We can bear it together.

I...

I am taken.

You are taken!

Low profile.

Low profile.

Xingxing.

Are you and Mr. Wei really together?

Keep it low-key.

Well done.

Xingxing.

You have finally gotten that indifferent Mr. Wei

into your hands.

My best friend has found her happiness.

I'm so happy for you.

From now on,

I can do anything I want.

What?

You will be the lady owner of Runshi,

as for me,

I am the bestie of the lady owner.

I'm just two steps down

from the top of the whole company.

No one dares mark me late again.

Whenever we step into the building,

all of the employees have to line up and welcome us.

Right in here,

I still work as his assistant.

What?

Do you mean

you still have to

handle trivial stuff for him

and also

protect him from danger?

What about me

being the third powerful one in the company?

Don't even think of that.

We aren't going to announce our relationship for now.

Why?

That's right.

Why?

I don't like to mix work with my private life.

This is my discipline.

Xingxing and I both consented

that we will keep our relationship secret

at the workplace.

A solid sense of security

a man can offer to a woman

is to nip her anxiety with a truth.

The truth

of announcing your relationship

to the public.

You have to acknowledge her.

Xingxing.

Why are you so heartless,

not acknowledging him before the public?

Acknowledging him?

What is it for?

We are already an item.

But I reckon

that though Mr. Wei

agreed not to announce your relationship,

he thinks otherwise on the inside.

Does he?

Putting a label on our relationship

is just superficial.

If

you don't admit

you are in a relationship with her,

it leaves a chance for the other men to woo Hong Xingxing

and you can't do anything about it.

Who would dare steal my woman?

Ling Ting does.

"Hey, Xingxing."

"Oh, Xingxing."

"Dear Xingxing."

Forging a foundation of trust with each other,

we will grow together

in spiritual strength.

This is

true love.

Well,

being jealous

and acting like a green-eyed monster

are rather shallow.

Besides,

I'm a perfect man.

It is out of the question

that my woman will be stolen away.

I really appreciate

your ridiculous confidence.

Acknowledging our relationship?

I will ask her to acknowledge me now.

Bossy.

Hong Xingxing.

Let me help you.

No need.

Let me help you.

Don't say no.

No way.

You can't do this.

Hong Xingxing.

Come with me.

We need to talk.
