[A Date with the Future]

[Episode 12] [This kiss is a proactive offense]

I think I totally screwed up this time.

Ping'an, what should I do?

Hello, the number you have dialed…

Sis, the team leader wants a meeting.

Tell them I have somewhere to go.

But…

Lu Fangqi, where's Jin Shichuan?

He is still inside.

We just finished training.

You know, he's been emotionally unstable

ever since he did that show.

It happens to be his day off. Talk to him.

Trainer Xu, you finally came. Hurry up.

Go check on him.

Jin Shichuan.

Let's go.

Jin Shichuan.

What's wrong with you?

You're ignoring my calls and messages.

Can you tell me what's going on?

What did Huo do to you?

I'm talking to you.

I have nothing to say.

Jin Shichuan.

Are you okay? Sprained your ankle?

I'm not okay.

I've been so disturbed

because of you, you know?

Could you please tell me

what the problem is?

Are you going to marry Huo Yanzong?

What are you talking about?

Just answer me.

Of course not. He's just a friend.

You promise you won't marry him?

I promise.

I've never been in love

with someone else apart from you.

So, you got upset

the other day because of that?

No.

Why didn't you just ask me?

You're so scared I'd marry someone else?

Not at all.

Well, well.

Mr. Jin here turns out

to be the jealous type.

- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.

No.

You're jealous.

You're jealous.

You're jealous.

You really made me easily disturbed.

I used to handle everything calmly,

no matter how dangerous it is.

But I can't when it comes to you.

You're the exception.

I sprained my ankle.

I can't ride the motorbike.

I'll take you home.

You know how to ride it?

I've driven the firefighting armored vehicle.

The motorbike is nothing.

So experienced.

Is there anything you can't do?

Am I heavy?

I climb ten floors with weight every day.

This is just a piece of cake.

The key.

The key.

Seriously, do you know how to ride it?

Didn't you decide to trust me?

Just sit tight.

Hold onto me.

I used to wonder what happiness is

and how long it lasts.

Once, I thought

it was a feeling of the moment,

shortlived like the firework

and easily forgotten.

But now, I think I've found the answer.

Happiness is anticipation that comes true

after so much longing.

Many years later,

I will still remember

this ordinary afternoon

when I sit behind Jin Shichuan

on the motorbike.

It makes me incredibly happy and full of hope

whenever I remember it.

[Company Revenue] This is TC's revenue

for this quarter.

Our net profit

increased by 40% compared to the last quarter.

We managed to do so well

mainly thanks to

our new project, the car fridge.

Please take a look.

I read the quarterly statement.

You did well indeed.

Last year, the group thought the acquisition

of this production would cause a deficit.

But Mr. Sun, you actually

turned a loss into a profit.

Thank you.

I couldn't have done this

without your kind support.

We tried our best

to lower the cost

and attract consumers

to ensure profit.

As long as we seize the market with a thin profit,

I believe we can do even better.

In the next quarter, we intend

to expand production and increase marketing

to attract more consumers

and seize a greater portion of the market.

I believe

that TC

is undergoing fast development.

We should keep the momentum.

Of course, that means we need

financial support from the group.

I suggest we stay cautious

and take it step by step

before expanding production.

Mr. Huo, what are your concerns here?

Revenue matters indeed.

But it's better to grow steadily.

But TC is…

It's not the perfect time

for TC to expand

the market. Give it some time.

Alright, Mr. Huo.

TC accounted for 20% of the Group's profit this quarter.

Theoretically,

Mr. Huo should support the expansion.

Why was he against it?

I believe Mr. Huo has his reasons.

And what would that be?

He just doesn't want TC

to grow so fast.

Let's go.

Sun Lei's proposal wasn't bad.

Why were you against it?

He's been in the mining industry.

He's said to be

seeking instant benefit.

If I increase my investment right now,

he may get overly ambitious.

I won't risk it for someone who compromises

his bottom line for profit.

Makes sense.

I heard that

you went to Xu Lai's show.

And Jin Shichuan was there.

Didn't you fight each other for her?

Almost.

Really?

Actually, he wanted to hit me. It was quite one-sided.

But I won.

He wanted to hit you, but you won?

Tell me about it.

I have somewhere to go. See you.

Where are you going?

To Xu Lai.

Sons are bound to leave for girls.

Get lost.

Isn't your ankle hurting?

It's fine now.

- Really? - Yeah.

Alright then.

Stop running around.

Take care of yourself.

I'm leaving.

Last time, the kiss was a strike back.

What was that kiss today?

Proactive offense.

I don't know when I started

to care more and more about you.

And I want to

kiss you all the time.

- Hello. - Hello, sir.

There is a brigade meeting coming up.

Okay. I got it.

We have a meeting coming up. I have to go.

Didn't you go find Xu Lai?

Why are you drinking alone?

I saw her with Jin Shichuan just now.

What's the big deal? I'll drink with you.

You surely can drink.

Come on.

Come on.

That's enough.

Stop it.

Come on.

What's the point of tormenting yourself?

Why can't you just talk to Xu Lai?

Haven't I tried?

I was looking for the right moment.

But it was like… It was like I was always a bit too late.

What are you going to do

if Xu Lai is actually dating Jin Shichuan?

Have you ever thought about it?

I'll lose it for sure.

Then just lose it. Don't hold back.

Or it will be too late.

Last time, the kiss was a strike back.

What was that kiss today?

Proactive offense.

What should I do? We just parted.

But I'm already missing you.

I want to see you.

Very soon.

So fast?

Huo, it's you?

Why?

Are you disappointed?

No. Why are you here at this hour?

Xu Lai, promise me something.

Don't fall in love with someone else, okay?

What are you talking about?

Are you drunk?

No.

I'm not drunk. I'm completely sober.

And I'm serious about what I'm going to say.

Also, I meant what I said

in the show.

Mr. Huo, what was your

initial aspiration?

And why did it change?

My initial aspiration was to be a soldier.

But I changed it for a girl I liked.

What a lucky girl!

She made Mr. Huo adopt another career path!

Speaking of which,

let me ask you something

for the audience.

What kind of spouse would be ideal

for a successful businessman like you?

I'd be lucky to have

a wife like you.

Mr. Huo is very sweet.

Alright, let's welcome

the famous actress Yu Shishi.

Xu Lai.

I've been waiting for the right moment

to confess to you.

But I can't wait anymore.

I can't watch another guy

stealing you from me.

I love you. I've loved you for 13 years.

I love you more than anyone else.

My love is deep and long-lasting.

Wait, Huo, what are you talking about?

We grew up together.

I see you as my best friend.

- Or a big brother. - I don't want to be your friend.

And I'm not your brother.

Xu Lai.

I mean it.

Wake up, Huo.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Can you go home first?

I need some time alone.

I know it's too much to handle.

But I can wait for you.

[Did you fall asleep?]

[Good night.]

[Shichuan]

I haven't had a chance to tell her yet,

so she doesn't know it.

I was afraid we couldn't even be friends.

What's with that expression?

Do you regret it?

Yeah.

Being your friend is tiring, okay?

Huo… confessed to me last night.

- I'd guess so. - You'd guess so?

You think everyone's so insensitive?

You guys.

One is insensitive.

One is over-sensitive.

Did you get startled?

Actually,

I can see

why you haven't ever noticed it.

First, you guys grew up together.

You were quite boyish

and never thought of him as a man.

Second, Huo hides his love so deep. And he's so rational.

He's always having concerns.

You went abroad when he wanted to confess.

Then you came back.

And Jin Shichuan appeared.

So… when did you find out?

I found out…

during the earthquake.

He risked his life searching for you.

So I suspected it.

Then I became certain of it

when he changed his college selection.

He's always wanted

to be a soldier like his father.

But he promised his mom to be a businessman

so that he can join you overseas.

Hello, Huo.

Huo!

Why are you here?

- Surprise, huh? - Yeah.

I applied for the Finance major here.

Finance?

Xu Lai, is this your boyfriend?

No.

Why did you apply for that?

I'm worried about you being alone here.

So I came.

Really?

- Let me show you around. - I was kidding.

Let's go.

Isn't our campus pretty?

Yeah, it's just a bit chilly.

By the way.

What's your dream?

- You go first. - Me?

My dream is to become

an excellent reporter.

I want to be

really, really excellent

to deserve

someone amazing.

What about you?

My dream is to…

I have another dream.

I want to find

the firefighter who saved me.

You mean that firefighter

in the earthquake?

I promised him that

I'd find him in ten years.

What about you?

It doesn't matter.

Why didn't you tell me?

Would it stop you from falling in love with Jin Shichuan?

But…

Xu Lai, I know you've been in love

with Jin Shichuan for a long time.

But you know what? Huo has loved you even longer.

He's been in love with you

before you met Jin Shichuan.

He's always by your side.

You should give him a chance.

Well, Mr. Jin is in a good mood today.

I bet he made peace with Reporter Xu.

Most likely.

You know?

I saw him riding Xu Lai's motorbike yesterday.

And she was hugging him.

So close. Are they in a relationship?

No wonder he's been so...

Do guys become

so emotional in a relationship?

You're asking me?

How would I know? I'm born single.

I envy him so much.

I want a relationship, too.

Come on.

You don't even

have a date.

Says who?

Who is it? Do I know her?

Wait, you don't even get to meet girls.

That doctor!

That's why you've been going to the hospital.

You were there to meet her.

Lu Fangqi.

There's nothing between Dr. Zang and me.

Nothing?

But I haven't seen Dr. Zang for a while.

I wonder if she's doing well.

Leader,

why don't you punch me?

What's wrong with you?

I need a reason to visit her.

You're not okay.

Lovesick.

He's losing it.

Get back to work.

Fix that.

See you, Sir.

Sir.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Sir, let's play basketball.

Rain check.

S-See you then.

See you.

Hello, Grandpa.

How long haven't you been home?

Have you forgotten about me?

I've been busy

forming a rescue team

at the training camp.

I don't care how busy you are at work.

You're my grandson.

Let me make it formal.

Come back and join me

for dinner tonight.

Copy that. See you at dinner.

Why haven't you answered my message?

Are you alright?

My initial aspiration was to be a soldier.

But I changed it for a girl I liked.

I finally realized that

those 'casual' jokes

contained Huo's love.

I know I can't

possibly pay back,

but I hope that

he will find true happiness one day.

Huo.

Why did you come?

I have something to tell you in person.

Sorry, I was reckless last night.

I'm the one who should apologize.

Sorry I haven't noticed your feelings

and kept accepting your kindness.

Sorry I've left you waiting on your own

without paying any attention.

I don't need your apology.

Let me finish it.

On the way here, I've been thinking

about what I can do for you

and what I should do for you.

Finally, I figured it out.

There are things

I shouldn't do.

I shouldn't keep accepting your kindness

when I know how you feel.

I shouldn't be so selfish

and keep you around.

That's enough.

Huo, we can't be together.

Neither can I respond to your feelings.

So let's stop contacting each other

until you figure things out.

I'm afraid I'd hurt you.

And I don't know how to face you.

So, am I losing you?

No, we'll always be best friends.

But I don't want us to be only friends.

As your friend, the only thing I can do is wait for you to get over it.

It's better for both of us.

Xu Lai.

How did it go with the rescue team?

It went well. Everyone passed the exam.

I ran into Wen.

He spoke highly of you.

He said you knew how to

lead your team.

Of course, you're my grandson.

You were a good student and never let me worry about you.

It was the same

after you went to work.

But when it comes to personal life,

you've made me

so worried.

This weekend,

come home for a day.

Qiao, my comrade-in-arms,

is going to bring

his granddaughter here.

You should meet her.

Grandpa, you've done it a million times.

How many comrades-in-arms are there?

Not many left.

Shichuan, if you don't hurry up,

the granddaughters of my old buddies

will all be married.

I'm not in a hurry.

Do you really plan to

stay single for life?

Do you want to die alone?

Grandpa, actually…

Stop it there. Are you going to say

that it's a dangerous job

and you can't have a family?

I know what you're trying to say.

I just don't believe that

your parents would be fine with it.

It may sound harsh,

but I won't be able

to face them once I die.

Grandpa, let's not go there. It's bad luck.

Just eat.

Don't be mad. Have food.

I know what I'm doing.

Chuan, it's midnight.

Go to bed.

We can keep the cake

for Dad tomorrow, okay?

No, I will wait for him

to blow the candle.

Hello.

Sis, Mr. Jin got hurt.

He got heavily injured in the fire rescue just now.

He's in the ER of People's Hospital.

But it's not going well.

You should be prepared.

I'm on my way.

Mom, did something happen to Dad?

Mom, where is Dad? What happened to him?

Mom, I can't see.

Mom, are you okay?

Mom.

Are you okay?

Mom, are you okay?

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Mom, are you okay?

Mom, are you okay?

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, wake up.

Shichuan,

I know there's something you never let go.

I haven't really

spoken to you about it

throughout the years.

But now, you're a grown man.

You should realize

that you are

different from your parents.

What happened to them

was an accident.

It doesn't mean that

you would end up like them

or that you can't

have a steady family.

Grandpa, I've found someone I like.

Really?

You just met?

Yeah.

Actually, no.

We've known each other for ten years.

Ten years?

Stop lying.

You've never mentioned her.

Bring her here right now if it's true.

We haven't made it formal yet.

Once we are sure about it,

I'll bring her here right away, okay?

Then hurry up

and make it formal now.

Bring her here now.

I'm going back to work now.

Trust me. I'm not lying.

I'll bring her home once we're sure about it, okay?

Stop looking at it.

Trust me. Don't worry anymore.

Here, your glasses.

Okay, see you.

I'm not lying.

Weird kid.

Is he bluffing or not?

Hello, the number you have dialed

have enabled call alert. Your call will…

Ping'an, are you also missing her?
