[A Date with the Future]

[Episode 11] [I don't like you praising other men]

[Xu Lai]

Hello?

Hello, Huo.

Can you talk?

Yeah.

What's up? What are you calling me so late for?

Nothing much. I'm just a bit worried

about you

during the day.

How are you? Are you okay?

You care about me that much?

Of course. We go way back.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Really? You can't lie to me.

Yeah.

Then I'm relieved.

By the way, our station

wants to invite you as a guest on a show.

I'll be hosting this episode. Are you available?

Of course, I'll make time for your show.

That's what I call a true buddy.

I'll send you the details later.

Alright.

Bye.

Why do you look much happier

after that call?

Have you decided where we're going?

Let's go.

Why are we back here?

I thought about it, and I don't feel obligated to help you.

Isn't that Mr. Huo?

Where did that little troublemaker go?

Shishi,

why are you getting out of Mr. Huo's car?

What did you two do just now?

If I tell you that we didn't do anything

but drive around the block,

will you believe me?

I will.

Is Huo Yanzong a lunatic?

Don't you just like handsome guys with a bit of craziness?

You're right.

I'm not mad anymore. Let's go.

[What are you doing?]

[I just got home.]

Hello?

What's up? You miss me?

Ping'an misses you.

Ping'an.

Ping'an, look at the camera.

Ping'an.

Maybe it's not used to the fire station yet.

What about you? Are you tired after going back there?

No, but I feel a little uneasy.

Uneasy?

Maybe it's because you're not here.

I don't think it's Ping'an that misses me

but someone else.

It's getting late. I'll hang up now.

Okay, you should go to bed early. Good night.

Good night.

- Company! - Eyes-front!

Right-face!

Right-face!

Left-face!

Left-face!

- Liu Xu. - Yes!

That's enough for today.

- Wrap it up. - Yes!

Company!

At ease!

Dismiss!

Yes!

Zhang Yang.

Yes!

The uniforms for you newcomers have arrived.

I'll take you to get them.

Let's go.

Why are you here?

I want to invite you to a talk show.

You know

I don't like being interviewed,

let alone be on this kind of show.

Don't be so quick to refuse.

We have invited

some other outstanding young representatives from the city.

This is a task assigned to me by the station.

Please help me out, okay?

Sir, just go.

And you can also give publicity to the fire station.

By the way, Xu Lai, who else is participating in it?

The current male guests are you and Huo.

Huo Yanzong is going on it too?

All the more reason to go, Sir.

No comparison, no hurt feelings.

You're exceptional,

and nobody holds a candle to you.

I'll consider it.

Ping'an.

Come.

Come.

So excited, huh?

Let me take a look.

Do you miss me?

Is Huo Yanzong really going to go

on the show?

Yeah.

You can take this opportunity

to get to know each other.

I believe

you guys will become good friends.

Why should I be friends with him?

Are you jealous?

No.

No?

No.

Jin Shichuan.

Don't ignore me.

Why are you suddenly angry?

No.

You're clearly angry.

I don't like you praising other men,

especially Huo Yanzong.

Jin Shichuan,

have you noticed

that you care more and more about me?

I have work to do. You can go.

No, you can't leave until you make it clear.

Yes, I care about you

very much.

I'll participate in the program you mentioned.

I'll send you the schedule.

Remember to check your phone.

Commissar, I would like to ask for a day off

to record a program at the TV station.

Being a guest on a TV show?

Good. I approve.

Thank you, Commissar.

I remember

you used to say no

to such things before.

Why did you suddenly change?

I'm going as a favor to my friend.

I've been thinking.

I found you changed after you came back from the training base.

You're more outgoing,

talkative

and more often seen with a smile on your face.

Who exactly reforged

you steel plate?

Well, I'll guess.

Xu Lai.

As I told you before,

you must be watching her.

You must be--

I almost forgot it, Commissar.

I have to go train the team. I'm leaving now.

Don't forget what I told you.

How is it? Not bad, right?

Nice. It looks great on you.

Why does it have my blood type on it?

In this way,

if a firefighter is injured on the front line,

his blood type can be confirmed immediately

for emergency treatment.

But I hope you will never use it.

Because I don't want you to get hurt.

With it,

you're now officially a firefighter.

Zhang Yang.

Yes!

Take good care of yourself when doing a rescue.

Yes!

Here is your latest work schedule.

A talk show?

Such programs won't gain much publicity.

I want to rest.

Please decline it for me.

I've seen the guest list.

They're all positive figures.

And the program

is about exemplary young people.

It's good for your reputation.

Oh, right, there's a guest you know.

Who?

Huo Yanzong, president of Yunkai Group.

You two met last time.

So…

I changed my mind. I'll participate in it.

No other problems, right?

Xin.

These two men will be invited to this program?

They will be both on Xu Lai's show.

It will be interesting.

Thank you, Xin.

Mission accomplished.

Let me send it to him.

He must have fallen asleep, right?

Off work.

I'm leaving, Sir.

There were too many emergencies today.

I'm dog-tired.

[This is the recording time and procedure for the program.]

[I made marks specifically for you.]

[Remember to read it.]

[Okay, I'll read it carefully.]

Let me massage for you.

[Why are you up so late?]

[Take care of yourself and rest early.]

Jin Shichuan sent me an emoji!

Was he trying to be cute with me?

That's so adorable.

Here, here.

[You're still up?]

♫ When the moods, they have no clue ♫

[There were a lot of emergencies today, and I just got back to the station.]

[You must be really tired.]

[If so, you don't have to reply now.]

[It's fine. I'm used to it.]

[Texting you is relaxing. Not tiring.]

♫ Am I going crazy? Am I losing gravity? ♫

♫ Why the fish is all in the sky? ♫

♫ I don't want to be just another guy ♫

♫ Why don't you have another look inside of me? ♫

Sir, I'm leaving.

I'm leaving, Sir.

♫ I don't want to be another guy ♫

♫ Why don't you have another look inside of me? ♫

♫ It's a daisy and see the shine ♫

♫ Like kiddos and their bikes ♫

♫ That's when I daydream about you ♫

♫ I don't want to be just another guy ♫

♫ Why don't you have another look inside of me? ♫

Good night, Sir.

Good night.

♫ I don't want to be another guy ♫

Good night.

♫ It's a daisy and see the shine ♫

♫ Like kiddos and their bikes ♫

♫ That's when I daydream about you ♫

This one.

Why does it feel like we're going on a date?

[Alright, I'll be there on time.]

[I have something to tell you]

[after the recording is over.]

Sir.

You smell so nice today.

Do I?

Look at your outfit.

You're not going to take this opportunity to confess to Xu Lai, are you?

This matter--

Confess what?

Sir, you smell so good.

That's right.

Sir, you are exuding

a kind

of noble aura today.

So noble.

I'm not talking to you guys anymore.

Don't go, Sir.

You better hurry to the TV station in case you're late.

Take it easy.

Here you come.

You look really beautiful today.

Do I? I'm still not used to it.

I usually wear pants.

I think it suits you well.

Miss Xu,

the director wants to know if all the guests have arrived.

This is my photographer, Zhou.

You go to the rest area with him and rest.

I'll be waiting for Jin Shichuan.

If the director asks, help me stall him.

Okay. Mr. Huo, this way, please.

See you later.

See you later.

Mr. Huo, you can rest here for a while.

Thank you.

I'll take care of the rest.

You guys can go out now.

Alright.

Mr. Huo, hello again.

How come you're here?

The program invited me, so I came.

I didn't expect you to be here too.

Do you think this is fate?

I don't think so. Just a coincidence.

What if it's not?

How can there be a traffic jam at this time?

Attention, a car accident happened on Xiafei Road.

Someone got run over. It's completely blocked. Don't go that way.

I'll get off here.

I'm on Xiafei Road. It's serious. Come save people quickly.

Did you call the police?

Yes, and I called 120.

I'm a firefighter.

Do you feel dizzy or nauseous?

No.

Do you have any sensations?

Yeah.

My leg hurts so much.

I see your left leg is trapped.

What's your name?

Lv Feixiang.

Lv Feixiang, listen to me.

I'll get you out quickly. Just bear with it.

There's a victim trapped under the car.

I need help. Anyone who can help, come over.

Sorry, the number you dialed

is temporarily unavailable.

Mr. Huo, please take a look at this.

Shishi, please take a look at this.

This is a rough process of our interview today.

I'll get a sample take first.

If there are any problems, we can communicate at any time.

Xu Lai.

Why hasn't Mr. Jin arrived yet?

I'm sorry. Director, he must be on the way.

Just one moment, please.

Sorry.

How much longer will it take?

Shishi has got other things to do.

How unpunctual you are.

Yeah. How did you arrange it?

Did you arrange the time for the guests properly?

I'm sorry.

What's the use of saying sorry?

Director, how about this?

Let's prepare an alternate plan.

If Mr. Jin doesn't arrive in time,

the hostess can ask more questions to me and Miss Yu Shishi

to fill the gap.

I have a collaboration

with Miss Yu later.

So it will be pre-publicity.

I believe

Shishi will cooperate with us, right?

Since you said so,

how could I say no?

That's great. Let's do it this way.

Come on.

Anyone else? We need more hands!

Come, come help.

Come. Follow me.

Let me do it.

All together. Come on.

One, two, three.

Put more effort.

It's up. It's up.

Come on!

One, two, three.

Make way. Make way.

Make way for medical staff. Hurry up.

Victim conscious. His leg was run over by the car.

Check him up right away.

Alright, got it. Thank you.

Hang in there.

I'll leave the rest to you.

I'll get you some water.

Huo Yanzong.

You like

that hostess Xu Lai, right?

Yes.

I'm really disappointed.

As my competitor,

she's too ordinary.

You won't be competitors

because I won't give you the opportunity.

Why are you taking a joke so seriously?

You think she'll mind?

She won't. I will.

You like her that much?

And you're planning to marry her?

That's right.

I will marry her.

Xu Lai is the woman I've decided on.

No one can predict the future.

Let's wait and see.

Would you like some coffee?

Everyone get ready.

We'll make some changes

to the interview and guest seating.

Xu Lai,

add some more questions

and interaction for the on-site guests now.

Hello.

Sorry, I encountered an emergency situation just now.

I just arrived at the TV station.

You haven't started yet, have you?

Great, I'll come down and pick you up.

Director, Mr. Jin has arrived at the door.

He's here?

Then we don't need to change the plan.

Proceed with the original one.

Get ready for the opening.

Director, I know Mr. Jin. I'll pick him up.

Go ahead.

Zhou.

Xin, what's the matter?

Are you going to pick up Mr. Jin Shichuan?

Yes.

I'll go for you.

I'll also go over the script with him on the way back

to help Xu Lai share some pressure.

You go back and help her.

Alright, thank you, Xin.

You're welcome.

Are you Mr. Jin Shichuan?

I'm Xu Lai's colleague.

She asked me to pick you up. Please.

Does my late arrival affect

Xu Lai's work?

At first, the director was a little unhappy.

But fortunately,

Mr. Huo was there to help her.

Everyone in our station envies her having

a gentle and considerate fiancé like Mr. Huo.

Fiance?

Yes.

Everyone in the station knows

they have a very special relationship.

And Mr. Huo just said himself

he and Xu Lai would get married soon.

Didn't she tell you?

I shouldn't have said it.

Maybe she doesn't want you to know.

Please don't tell her I told you that.

Huo, your microphone.

Let me help you.

Let me do it.

Please, Mr. Jin.

Thank you.

You're finally here.

I've been waiting for you.

I have something to ask you. Just now--

Mr. Jin, hello.

I'm the director of this program.

This is the process of the interview today.

Please take a look.

This way, please.

Wardrobe, fix Mr. Jin's clothing.

Xu Lai, get ready to start.

Okay.

Welcome to Huaigang Interview.

Today we have invited three guests.

They are a firefighter,

an entrepreneur and a young actress.

Despite different identities,

they are all exemplary youth role models

in our city.

We are very honored to have the three of them

on our talk show.

Everyone must be as curious

about their stories as me.

We will start

with the introduction of the firefighter.

This is Jin Shichuan, the station manager

of the Fire Special Service Brigade One in Huaigang.

I heard that you just rushed over from the scene of an accident.

Yes.

Mr. Jin is not only

the manager of a fire station

but also the captain of an earthquake rescue team.

The team was just established not long ago.

I once had the honor of joining the rescue unit for a few of their assignments.

At the same time, I captured

some footage of them during its initial stage.

Everyone in the station knows

they have a very special relationship.

As a firefighter,

Mr. Jin has to face

various rescue missions every day.

I would like to ask you,

among the past missions,

were there any impressive people or things?

Can you share it with us?

I think I would say

it was the earthquake

in Huining ten years ago.

That was my first time

participating in a rescue mission.

I was a novice firefighter.

[2012, Huining]

When I saw a disaster scene up close

for the first time,

I couldn't describe the tragic scene I saw

in words.

Are the ropes with you guys?

Yes.

Stop.

This is my first mission with you.

Windhound, perform well.

Let's go.

Collapsed houses.

Injured people.

Their homes were gone in an instant.

As a member of the earthquake rescue team,

we were racing against time,

searching day and night,

relocating and settling the injured people.

Because every minute we saved in rescuing an injured person

would give them one more glimmer of hope.

How's everything over there?

Chuan.

How is it?

Judging from the scene,

I guess there are no other survivors.

Let's keep searching.

What if there's a miracle?

Everyone, pay attention.

The captain said there might be aftershocks

Retreat in order quickly.

Let's retreat first.

Retreat now.

Windhound.

Fang Huai, someone's here.

Come here to help.

Alright.

Lift it.

One.

Two.

Three.

Be careful.

After that rescue mission,

I realized how fragile life is

and witnessed how strong life can be.

As long as there's a glimmer of hope,

we should never give up.

Later, this became

my lifelong mission and responsibility.

Thank you, Mr. Jin, for sharing your story.

After listening,

I'm impressed by the greatness of firefighters.

They dedicate themselves

to saving the masses from danger.

They are the heroes of this era.

Every profession produces

its leading practitioners.

No matter which position we are in,

we can compose a different life.

Mr. Huo, thank you for today.

I was worried that you would be nervous,

but I didn't expect you to perform so well.

Are you available now?

What's the matter?

I'll wait for you outside. I have something to ask you.

Alright.

Xu Lai, can you please dub the narration for the program?

No problem.

Please wait for me.

Mr. Huo.

Director, I'm sorry.

I have other arrangements today.

For interview-related requests,

you can contact our PR department.

I will consider it later.

Thank you, everyone, for your hard work.

Let's talk about it another time.

Alright, let's schedule it later.

Back then,

Xu Lai and I originally planned to go to Huining together.

If I hadn't been late,

she wouldn't have met you.

Why are you telling me this?

I told you long ago.

Stay away from Xu Lai.

On what grounds are you saying this to me?

What right do you have to interfere in our relationship?

Because I love her.

Because I've been the one by her side all these years.

Not you.

The bond between us

can never be broken by anyone.

She will choose me in the end.

Are you really getting married?

Yes.

You and that hostess.

She doesn't seem interested in you at all.

What does that have to do with you?

Originally, it had nothing to do with me.

But I see that her mind is not on you at all,

so I'm a little worried for you.

Do you need my help?

Jealousy is the best touchstone to test

if someone cares about you.

What?

Yu Shishi.

What's wrong? What are you doing?

Let go!

You ask him what he was doing.

What's wrong, Huo?

I don't know why Mr. Jin suddenly grabbed me by the collar.

Is there any misunderstanding between you?

This kind of man is not worth your defense.

I'm fine, Xu Lai.

There may be some misunderstanding between us.

It's okay.

I'm sticking my nose.

Huo, what exactly happened just now?

Why was he so angry?

I just said, I really don't know.

He's not the type to get angry for no reason.

You trust him so much.

Why did you defend me?

We've been friends for more than a decade.

If anything happens to you, I'll come to you right away.

There must be some misunderstanding.

I trust both of you.

Don't take it to heart.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Mr. Jin is back.

Mr. Jin is back.

Sir.

You're back.

Sir, how was it?

Did the show go really well today?

Of course it did. Xu Lai was there.

I can already imagine the two of you

exchanging affectionate glances on the show.

So enviable.

Let's look for it together then.

Okay.

Look for what?

Got nothing to do?

Did you quarrel with Xu Lai?

Don't mention her.

I think I would say

Sir, you were too nervous it was the earthquake 10 years ago.

on the show.

Trainer Xu looks pretty good on camera.

Oh, God. Huo Yanzong is so handsome.

Handsome?

I don't think so at all.

Of course he's not as handsome as you.

But, Sir,

you should at least smile a little when you were on the show.

Look at your grumpy face.

It's good enough, I think.

I didn't say anything wrong.

What's your advice?

He always looks sullen, doesn't he?

Look, now he looks even more sullen.

Leader,

Huo Yanzong is so young and already the boss of Yunkai.

He's rich and capable.

Girls must love him.

Sure. How envious I am.

What's so good about this crappy show?

Everyone, go back to your training.

No, Sir.

Ready, go.

♫ Tears are the delayed answers of love ♫

Report.

Done.

When you arrive at the scene

at this speed, people are already dead.

Put down the SCBA and do it again.

♫ But we each retreated on our own ♫

♫ It's my fault for missing you so many times ♫

Thank you.

♫ Is it too late now? ♫

♫ Feigning deafness to my yearning for you ♫

♫ Does it count as a cover-up? ♫

♫ Is it because I'm used to this? ♫

Sir, you should eat something.

♫ But we're still trapped in that scene ♫
