[When I Fly Towards You] [Directed by Cattree]

[Episode 23] [You Are Always the Favored]

I should have eaten more at lunch.

Hello.

Can I order food by myself?

Sorry, you'll have to book a table first.

Do you have a reservation?

Never mind, thank you.

Zai? Zai?

It's over?

No. Mr. Wei drinks a lot.

I bet it will go on for quite a while.

You must be starving.

I brought a few buns for you.

But they've gone cold.

Thanks.

It's just bad luck that you run into this kind of thing.

Mr. Chen told me you could go home.

If Mr. Wei sees you when he comes out and starts going amok,

you'll be in trouble.

Yes.

I've been out for some time. I should get back inside.

Stay safe.

Okay. Don't worry.

Is it over?

Did everything go well?

Let me guess, a celebration party?

Rang.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Did you have your dinner?

Yes.

Dinner was great.

We had roasted duck, brined chicken, candied apple,

and spicy boiled meat slices.

They were delicious.

If that's the case,

why are you crying?

I saw a bus stop just now.

It says "Jiangyi Road."

I got homesick all of a sudden.

I'll go to you.

It's late.

Rang.

I'll buy a ticket for the earliest trip home tomorrow.

Rang.

I didn't make a mistake, right?

Yes, you didn't.

It's alright.

Everything will be alright soon.

My phone will be power-off. I'll talk to you later.

Rest early.

Okay.

[Jiangyi Road]

[When you feel lost, where you stand is the right direction]

Do you want to get on?

This is the last bus.

Miss it and you won't get home.

I don't live here.

Oh.

You should go home.

[Jiangyi Road]

I wish there was an Anywhere Door of Doraemon right here.

You are in the wrong this time.

You've been working for so long,

but can't you handle such social gatherings?

Reflect on it.

Why are you here?

I know you've been mistreated.

So I came to bring you home.

Is it good?

Yeah.

Rang.

You drove for three hours.

Aren't you tired?

Well...

I am.

Don't you find me a nuisance?

If I didn't go there,

I'd never sleep soundly tonight.

Zai.

Not everything should be weighed

for its worth in the world.

If it's possible,

I'd like you to trouble me more often.

What's wrong?

My mom always says the others' words fall on deaf ears,

that they go through my ears and not my mind.

If I cover my ears, I can keep your words in mind.

Dig in.

It's been a while since I last cooked. Is it too salty?

No. It's even a little sweet.

Maybe the cook was overloaded with sweetness.

[VIP Dining Voucher]

Tonight?

Yeah.

A friend of mine opened a restaurant.

Well...

It's a new restaurant in town. He wants me to try it out.

I thought it'd be boring to eat alone.

I wonder if you have the time.

But I have some other plans tonight I can't turn down now.

Oh, it's alright.

We'll go there another time.

Sure. Try the food for me.

Sure.

I should hang up now. Bye.

Well...

[VIP Dining Voucher]

Hello? Rang?

So this is the important matter you mentioned?

For me, eating is a priority in life.

Besides, this is a couples' restaurant with good online ratings.

It's a couples' restaurant,

but we are here for one thing only.

The food.

Sit down.

Guan Fang? Gu Ran?

So this is the restaurant you mentioned?

Oh, I came here with a friend.

Jiang Jia!

I have things to discuss. I should head over there.

Oh.

Sure. We'll talk another time.

Wow.

This is rare.

Jiang Jia came to a couples' restaurant with a guy.

They don't look like a couple.

No idea.

Are you done? I need the menu.

Why haven't you confessed to Jiang Jia?

Is it... Is it that obvious?

It is too obvious.

Everyone can tell. Right?

Yes, it's obvious.

I knew it all along.

It's not easy to tell someone

that you like them.

The type Jiang Jia likes

is someone like Qianyu.

He's kind and thoughtful.

I'm afraid to ask her if she likes me.

I'm even more scared to tell her I like her.

Being her good friend

sounds like a nice excuse.

I can turn my heartfelt words into jokes,

give away the gift I bought on a whim as a free sample.

But if the confession fails,

things will get awkward between us.

She might ignore me for good.

I can't even imagine that.

It's good enough

to be good friends.

At least fighting and argument

won't take us apart that easily.

So...

It's good that you're not confessing.

I'll confess to her.

What?

That is the right thing to do!

If you never make an impulsive move,

you will always regret it.

Go, do it now.

Hey...

Hold on.

But... You need preparation to win a girl's heart.

So I need your advice on this.

I need your experience.

I have no such experience.

You get it.

I've been in a dozen of relationships.

But it all ended in failure. Do you still want my advice?

I knew I couldn't count on you.

I must rely on myself.

What is your plan?

Jiang Jia loves hot pot, crayfish, noodles with soybean paste and ice cream.

These have to be the topics she likes.

Gu Ran?

Did you just happen to come here after a walk again?

Yeah.

Did you just have dinner?

Yes.

What did you have?

Dumplings.

Dumplings?

Yeah.

Freshly made or frozen?

Freshly made.

Freshly made.

Good. That is good.

Good.

So, don't stay up too late. I should get going.

Gu Ran.

Are you...

It's nothing. I'm heading inside.

Good night.

I think my effort yields some positive results.

She said good night to me.

She said good night!

Don't you think the hint is obvious enough?

Not at all.

It's your wishful thinking.

Huh...

Fine.

Have you read the messages in the high school group chat?

Those from Year One and Year Two are throwing an alumni gathering.

It's this weekend. Will you guys go there?

My project is wrapping up.

I'll be a bit busy.

Zai could be working overtime.

We'll pass this time.

I can't be there. I'm grabbing a drink with my friends.

But Zai said Jiang Jia would be there.

Hello? I won't be there this weekend.

Yes.

I quit drinking.

Are you free?

Pick an outfit for me.

Am I seeing this right?

It's Gu Ran.

I ran into him in the hospital not long ago.

He still looks the same as he was back in high school.

I wish I could talk to him.

But he's been frowning at his phone.

Maybe it's something important.

My right profile looks better.

They will come in from the front door

and see my perfect side profile.

They will be stunned by my charm.

What are you staring at?

You look different tonight.

Do I look good?

I bought this dress this afternoon.

But then again, I've never tried this appearance.

Does it look strange?

Not at all.

You look great.

Should we...

Jiang Jia.

Could I dance with you?

Oh.

I can't really dance.

Yes.

She doesn't dance well.

It's alright. I can show you the steps.

I'm a slow learner.

Slower than anyone you know.

Give it a try.

She is...

Okay.

Oh.

Pal, do you know Jiang Jia well?

What is it?

Oh.

That's my friend, Sun Yuan.

He works in the same TV station as Jiang Jia.

He's had a crush on her for more than half a year.

Recently, he decided to take the initiative.

As his friend, I came to ask

if you know anything about Jiang Jia's hobbies.

You must know.

Come on.

You know her so well.

Do your old schoolmate a favor.

I think

I may not know her very well.

Gu Ran?

Did Jiang Jia leave?

Yes.

Huh?

Why didn't you leave with her?

What kind of boyfriend are you?

What?

Aren't you two in love?

No.

That can't be right.

Jiang Jia has liked you for ages.

Hasn't she confessed?

Hold on.

What do you mean by she likes me?

When we were having fun at the summer market

after the NCEE ended, she said...

I won't be in a relationship with my friend.

Being friends is not easy as it is.

What if something bad happens after we start dating?

It will be awkward if we can't even be friends.

Yes, that makes sense.

But if it's Gu Ran, that'd be nice.

Oh! You have a crush on Gu Ran!

No, not at all.

You heard it wrong.

That's why she went to you when she arrived today.

I thought you two were seeing each other.

How could I be wrong?

Thanks!

I just finished a conference call. What's wrong?

The night before we watched the sunrise together,

I didn't finish what I said.

After I left the country, I wrote it on paper.

There were countless times when I wanted you to have it.

When the weather was nice,

when it was raining,

and when I looked up into the stars,

time and time again,

I failed to give it to you.

I've kept this love letter for five years.

Now,

do I have the honor to read it out for you?

Jiang Jia.

There's something I've wanted to tell you.

I like you.

I really, really like you.

When I wrote these words down, I couldn't help but smile.

My roommate told me I was hopeless.

I didn't tell him

that I never wanted to be cured of it.

♪ Will the cloud that passes by the school ♪

♪ Notice me ♪

During my first semester abroad,

I had some free time so I audited the Chinese language elective class.

The lecturer taught us some proverbs in class.

The hardest of them all

is "knowing oneself."

I once said that if I ever fell in love,

it'd be a love to remember.

I'd want everyone to know.

Then I realized

I'll become scared and faltered when I'm in love with someone.

I couldn't let her know.

I thought, "Jiang Jia is always so carefree,

who would fall for her?"

But I've kept the photo you gave me for five years.

♪ I always miss you and wish to be with you ♪

I even said that it'd be nice to be just friends.

But when I saw you dance with another man,

I could only leave out of jealousy.

♪ I'm too scared to make the connection ♪

A friend wouldn't do that.

♪ The decision that makes me blush ♪

What would a friend do?

♪ I like you ♪

A good friend

wouldn't see you every night when he closed his eyes.

He wouldn't feel more upset than you when you're upset.

He wouldn't talk about the insignificant.

I just want to tell you

that I like you.

It seems

I didn't take you as a friend either.
