[Once and Forever]

[Episode 16]

What's wrong? The battery is dead already?

I just felt quite sad

when I was seeing San Gou's back.

I gave him so much hope,

but I ended up making him so disappointed.

It was not your fault.

It's not like the novel is not good.

Right?

Even your chief editor

has fallen in love with that novel.

It was mainly because that

your publishing house is too conservative.

San Gou

has thought it through.

Don't you

give up on yourself.

But to be honest,

Although I failed this time,

it has definitely been

the most fulfilling period of my work so far.

It seemed like I suddenly realized that

I still had a lot of things to do.

So,

if it weren't for your advice,

I might have continued

wasting time by doing radio exercises,

drinking herbal tea,

and playing vegetables-stealing game.

So,

Qin Chuan,

thank you.

Drive, the traffic light is green.

Good for you.

You forgot to do anything once I thanked you.

You really want to thank me?

What?

You have a chance right now.

What is Offside?

I've looked through a stack of information,

and I still can't figure out

what's the meaning

of so many people running around a ball.

Do you really need to prepare that much

just for being a football girl?

Since I have already joined,

I should prepare adequately, just in case.

There are 32 teams

in this World Cup.

And I have already memorized information about twenty of them,

including players, coaches, jersey numbers,

and performance records.

That's amazing!

It's much easier than ancient Chinese.

When will you

officially start then?

We're going for training this weekend.

At that time, we will have to follow the production team

and engage in filming for over a month.

I might be very busy then.

So, I won't have time

to video chat with you like this.

It's okay.

I can still watch it on Yuanshi TV, right?

I can watch you online.

I'll do the "peace" sign twice

to greet you by that time.

Alright.

I’ll keep memorizing the teams.

You can read if you want.

Don't hang up,

let's continue the video call, okay?

Okay.

[Players' Names]

Corona.

Number 12, Corona, goalkeeper.

Number 12, Corona, goalkeeper.

Ochoa.

Number 13, Ochoa, goalkeeper.

Number 13, Ochoa, goalkeeper.

Suárez.

Defender.

Here.

It's enough for you to thank me.

What do you mean?

I'm just one paper away

from graduation at the moment.

Editor Xie.

You possess agile thinking, profound knowledge of the past and present,

strategic brilliance, and the ability to turn ideas into gold.

When it comes to important tasks like opening a thesis,

who could be more suitable than you?

Enough.

Stop flattering me.

Tell me.

What topic do you want to choose?

I don't care. You decide.

It's not like I'm not in college.

I'm not gonna read

all your books.

But the thing is,

looking at these books

gives me a headache.

You're different.

You're a professional publisher.

You must feel familiar when looking at them.

You can consider it as a minor subject.

What is your deadline?

In three weeks?

In three days!

Actually, my deadline

was three days ago.

[UK]

My mom is coming to London next month

for a visit.

And then,

we'll go back together during the summer holiday.

She want me to ask you

if you want to go with us.

We can book your ticket

together as well.

I'm not going back.

I'm going to Germany.

To do what?

To watch the World Cup.

Okay. You really love to have fun.

I'll book our tickets without you.

Are you really going to Germany?

Why?

I want to go too.

I've never been to Germany.

You're becoming more casual

with your requests to me.

Did you forget?

We went to watch

the last World Cup together too.

It has been 4 years.

Yeah.

Our relationship is strong enough

for you to take me with you.

Just consider it as a commemorative event.

You can go if you want.

It was just a trip.

What's there to commemorate?

To commemorate that we didn't progress.

Okay, let's call it a day.

Thank you, great journalist,

for arranging the opportunity for me to shoot for the magazine.

No need.

I was looking for a football girl anyway.

And you are one.

Didn't he give you water?

He took a box

and put it there.

What did I say?

They're snobbish.

Wait here. I'll get it for you.

No need, I'm leaving.

Don't bother.

Please become famous quickly.

Once you become famous, come back to shoot,

and they won't be so snobbish anymore.

Research

on Future Trends in E-commerce.

Mobile wallet.

But this mobile wallet....

what's this?

In short,

it refers to using a mobile device to replace the traditional wallet

for various financial transactions and services.

In other words,

in the future,

you won't need to carry cards or cash when you go out.

You'll just need a smartphone

to complete

all your business transactions.

Qiaoqiao,

have you been

proofreading a science fiction novel recently?

How come I find your ideas

to be so imaginative and out of the box?

I have carefully studied

books on electronic commerce

and conducted research to develop these ideas.

Well, then...

Can a phone be a wallet?

That's nonsense.

How do you know that?

See, publishing houses,

they used to accept submissions

in the form of

handwritten manuscripts enclosed in file folders.

Then they gradually

became into printing manuscripts.

Nowadyas,

sending an email online

can deliver tens of thousands of words in an instant.

This is the change.

Technology changes life.

Science and technology are the first productivity.

Is that what you mean?

Forget it.

Let me highlight the key points for you,

and then you can use the highlighted text

to search for relevant information.

With your intelligence,

you may not be able to write well,

but I think you can pass.

She was very close to me.

So close that I could see

the reflection in her eyes.

So close that made me think that

maybe she could be mine.

Remember the core

of your thesis proposal.

In the next 20 years,

the application of electronic wallets

in the field of e-commerce

is expected to become widespread.

Got it?

That's the point!

Okay, I got it, I got it.

[Yang Cheng]

I need to take this call.

But she's not mine.

Hello, Yang Cheng.

[Jianbing Guru]

Going to Germany to watch the World Cup with your classmates?

So during summer vacation,

I'll be in Germany.

Okay.

That's it?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just think you answered

quite straightforward.

You and your classmates have planned it.

Was there something wrong with the way I said it?

Nothing was wrong.

Let's meet in Beijing after I finish.

Bye.

Bye.

Was that Yang?

He said he's going to Germany

to watch the World Cup during the summer break.

With whom?

I didn't ask.

I find you are quite carefree.

Who else could it be?

Friends? Classmates?

Maybe Wang Ying.

Wang Ying will be back during the holiday.

Qiaoqiao, I really don't understand

Yang is already like this.

Why are you still dating him?

If the person I like

is in China,

I can't stand staying abroad even for a minute during the vacation.

I would immediately buy a plane ticket and fly back.

Not to mention the summer vacation,

even if it's just

a one-week spring break,

I would rush back.

He's not Xiaochuan.

He doesn't care about the money.

How could he...

Yes!

So, won't Wang Ying

come back then?

I know you two are close.

Don't show off to me.

Wait...

I've finished the opening.

You can handle the paper and the defense

on your own.

I'm leaving.

Qiaoqiao, don't be angry.

I didn't mean that. I...

[Jianbing Guru]

Don't mind it. Don't mind it.

We are just good friends.

Just good friends.

[Football Girl]

Thank you.

Thank you, our football girls!

Thank you!

As you can see,

each and every football girl

brought an amazing

opening performance,

and they all appeared

full of confidence.

Here, I want to let everyone know

that in addition to

singing and dancing,

our competition will also test

their knowledge of football.

The ultimate prize

is two tickets

to the live matches

of the World Cup in Germany

and a travel fund of 10 thousand yuan.

Next,

I'll introduce

every contestants.

Welcome the first one.

Hello, everyone.

I'm No.5, Li Junling.

Thank you, everyone.

Please cheer for me.

Thank you! Let’s give No.5 a another round of applause please!

Next, contestant No.6!

Hello, everyone.

I'm Girl No.6, Xiao Qianxi.

My favorite number is 6.

Please support me.

Let me test you.

Which football stars

wear the number 6 jersey?

There are quite a few football stars

who wear the number 6 jersey.

For example,

Baresi, who previously served

as the captain of the Italian national team.

There is also Lionel Messi,

nicknamed "The Prince" from Argentina.

There is also Sergio Ramos, the captain of the Spanish national team.

Amazing! Applause!

Thank you!

Thank you, contestant No.6!

Good luck!

Xie.

This is for you.

Thank you.

[Old Stories of Northeast China]

For Miss. Xie.

Thank you for your encouragement.

My new book is about to be published.

It's here as scheduled.

San...San...San...

It's San Gou!

San Gou?

Old Stories of Northeast China has been published.

So soon?

You know what?

San Gou is really something.

Let me see.

The cover is a bit tacky.

Qin Chuan!

Qin Chuan!

Qin Chuan! Qin Chuan! Look!

San Gou really published this book!

What are you looking at?

Come and help.

Wang Ying?

When did you come back?

I just came back yesterday.

I haven't even adjusted to the time difference yet,

and he called me over

as if summoning a spirit.

You have no conscience.

I'm doing this for the sake of the store.

Am I right?

See, the World Cup

is about to

enter the knockout stage.

If we don't hang these up,

all these authentic jerseys

will have been bought for nothing, right?

That will be a waste of money.

San Gou really published a book?

Good. Awesome!

It sells well.

Really?

Great.

You know what,

reading the physical version of a book

does have its own charm.

Can you stop slacking off?

Is there no hurry at the moment?

Come and deal with the jerseys.

Okay, okay, okay.

By the way, Qiaoqiao,

I just finished this.

Don't you like the England national team?

Hang it over there. Go.

Okay, no problem.

Don't move.

Why is there a...

What?

There's a thread on your head.

Have you washed your hands?

I...

Look, it's that...

Don't touch my hair.

OK.

It seems like a little monster has grown in my heart,

showing its fangs and claws,

making it impossible for me to avoid

the jealous feeling of seeing Qin Chuan and Wang Ying together.

You scared me!

I was a little excited. I'm sorry.

But how can I be jealous?

You know what, when I'm watching football...

I could only pick up the bat

and knock the little monster out.

and beg him

to not to wake up again.

You have never watched

a football game before.

But you relied on your knowledge to buzz in

and advanced to the semifinals.

Come on. Mr. Chen said that

if you win the championship, the prize money will be yours.

The company may send someone

to go to Berlin with you

for the follow-up publicity.

The company has already processed your passport.

Prepare the necessary documents for the visa application.

How is it?

Any new progress?

Thank you.

What new progress can I make?

Besides,

if there were any,

I would have definitely reported it to you first.

You really are

a good childhood friend.

Isn't this the business

I'm most familiar with?

Practice makes perfect,

indeed.

To be honest,

after you guys went abroad,

sometimes,

I feel like there's no Yang.

I just wish

I could be there

with Qiaoqiao all the time.

But he is around.

Yang Cheng will be back eventually.

You're right.

Young lady!

I missed you so much.

Your breath

is right on my neck.

Let go! Let go!

What is this?

Jade Guanyin.

It has been consecrated.

You can't touch it with your hands.

You...

It's okay. I don't mind.

I mind.

Right, watch TV!

City Channel No.5.

Qianxi's Final.

Really?

And now,

the highly anticipated moment

of crowning the champion has arrived!

After a month

of intense competition,

the winner is...

Who is she? She is...

Contestant No.6, Xiao Qianxi!

Congratulations!

Qianxi!

Congratulations, Qianxi!

Qianxi won!

She will receive two tickets

to watch the World Cup live

in Germany

and a travel fund

of 10 thousand dollars.

I hope you have an

unforgettable experience

during your World Cup journey

in Germany.

Let us congratulate her once again!

-Thank you. Thank you. -Thank you.

Qianxi!

Qianxi won!

Man,

it's 5 a.m now.

What's your problem?

I just need to rest and I can't sleep!

Sorry, sorry.

I'm sorry.

Qianxi won!

Qianxi won!

Qianxi won!

Hey, Qianxi?

I won!

I saw it, Qianxi.

You're amazing!

The company said

they will give me all the bonuses.

So I can go to the UK!

Wait for me.

I'm coming to you.

You sold the tickets

for the World Cup final?

Xiao Qianxi, what were you thinking?

Sorry, Mr. Chen.

I thought that after I worked hard

to achieve first place,

I could make decisions for myself.

I want to go to the UK.

Cancel it.

Your visa and flight tickets have already been arranged.

Mr Chen,

I hope that

besides the company's arrangements,

I can also make decisions

for my own life.

This trip

is very important to me.

Important?

How short-sighted you are!

One day you will realize

what is truly important.

Psychic Lu, let me ask you.

Why does it

feel so uncomfortable

in my heart

when I see a boy

and a girl together,

like a sudden pang?

Why don't you

just say you're jealous?

What's wrong?

Who fell in love with Yang Cheng this time?

Wait!

Isn't Yang Cheng

watching the World Cup overseas?

Who told you it was Yang Cheng?

Do you have an affair?

I'm seriously talking with you.

Can you be serious?

Don't say a thing.

Don't say anything.

Xiaozhou!

Wait a minute.

I've had so many dreams

where I would

run towards you eagerly,

just like just now.

But as soon as you turned around,

the dream would end,

and I would feel upset for a long time.

Let me hold you for a while.

It shouldn't be a dream this time.

Xiaozhou.

It's me. I'm here.

This is not a dream.

♫I haven’t seen your smile for a long time♫

♫Why are you suppressing your wild thoughts♫

♫We often fall down♫

♫Bleeding♫

♫Reckless but persistent♫

♫Same white paper♫

♫A random color♫

♫Time paints us♫

♫We once had simple happiness♫

♫The wounds are healing♫

♫It’s too late to speak out about the pain♫

♫Young man♫

♫The fire in your heart♫

♫Let it burn♫

♫The sun is burning inside♫

♫Climbing up♫

♫The ideal slope♫

You were supposed to be at the stadium

watching the game right now.

I apparence will not change the result.

If I hadn't come,

we would have missed out

on a beautiful memory.

This is a forward

with good shooting skills,

facing Buffon.

Actually, the key at this moment

is not letting the goalkeeper

guess the direction right.

Let me tell you.

The Italian national team is simply not good enough.

Young Lady, you'll lose to me.

You never know.

There is another one.

The Wheel of Fortune upright.

I bet right!

We won!

What's the meaning of you

staring at me like that?

Now, it doesn't matter

who is in your mind anymore.

You and Yang Cheng

are getting married!

As Italy lifts the World Cup trophy,

this edition of the World Cup

comes to an end.

The summer football frenzy

has also come to a close.

To all the passionate fans out there,

it's time to adjust your routines

and return to

normal life!

Are the plane tickets

and passports all packed?

Yes.

I don't want to leave.

Promise me.

Take care of yourself.

Xiaozhou,

I want to stay with you.

Always be with you.

I want go to many places with you,

holding your hand,

and never separate with you.

We will, Qianxi.

I will hold your hand tightly

and take you to see the world.

Come.

I'll take you to Edinburg

to see Calton Hill.

Edinburg.

Calton Hill.

And let's go to Hawaii

to watch the hula dance.

Hawaii, here.

And cross the Pacific

to go to Japan

to see cherry blossoms.

To Iceland

to see the Northern Lights and glaciers.

To Florence,

the birthplace of the Renaissance.

To Provence

to see lavender fields.

What about Greek?

To see the Aegean Sea!

I will take you to any place

you want to go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I originally wanted to talk to you

about the matters in our publishing house.

But then I realized it's quite boring.

Just eat.

So many books.

These books were all edited by me.

I wanted to show them to you.

Forget it.

They're quite heavy.

They look

quite heavy.

But your book...

Even if I saw it in the bookstore,

I wouldn't buy it.

[Abnormal Psychology]

But I'd better take it back.

Or it would be heavy for you to carry.

What is this?

Tarot card, it's useless.

You're going back to England the day after tomorrow, right?

I'm meeting up with my friends tomorrow,

so I won't come to see you.

Pervert Psychology.

Yang Cheng,

you are quite a pervert.

How can I

like reading that kind of books?

My girlfriend edited it.

Let me see.

She must be a highly cultured girl

to have kept our young master Yang

so captivated for all these years.

I see.

What?

She poisoned you.

Wait.

What's on it?

This is a tarot card.

This one is fate.

What do you mean?

It means they will get married.

Young Master Yang, be careful.

Your girlfriend secretly reads tarot cards,

it seems

she's planning to marry you.

[Soccer Weekly]

See?

Both of you are working for "Fashion Entertainment,"

but you can only stand behind others

while holding a ball.

Lin Jingyan, on the other hand,

can have an entire page to herself.

She personally funded a trip to Berlin

to shoot a series of fan diaries

and released a single of the same name,

which ranked fifth in download numbers this week.

These opportunities

should have been yours.

But you threw them all.

Do you still think

it was important to go to the UK?

Mr Chen,

if there's nothing else,

I'll go practice singing.

You don't need to.

Lin Jingyan rented

the company's recording studio for mixing.

Besides, the company doesn't have any plans

to release a single for you at the moment.

You don't need to practice anymore.

Go practice your basic skills in the rehearsal room.

Lin Jingyan.

She is so beautiful.

Lin Jingyan!

Lin Jingyan, I love you!

Can I have your autograph?

I really like you!

Lin Jingyan!

Qianxi.

Hello.

Long time no see.

You haven't changed a bit.

Yes.

You've changed a lot.

Not really.

I'm a singer after all.

My usual job is to release singles.

Have you listened to my new song?

Not yet.

Take some time to listen.

It might help

improve your singing skills.

However,

in a short time,

you won't have a opportunity to release any single.

Why are you using this cheap stuff

bought from the supermarket?

Was there a discount?

Who bought it for you?

No wonder

your skin looks so dull.

Give it to me.

Forget it.

I'll ask my assistant

to buy you a new set tomorrow.

Aren't we good friends?

Lin Jingyan!

You're so beautiful!

I like you so much!

Can I have your autograph?

Sign for me, Jingyan!

Qianqian is still the same?

Yes.

We are worried about her.

But Jianjun is just lucky

when it comes to making money.

Aren't he and Weihong

taking turns to stay at home

to take care of Qianqian?

When he's not working,

he trades stocks at home

and has earned quite a bit of money.

He has bought a house

in Hainan.

The stock market

has been doing well recently, indeed.

Then let's open an account.

Who can do that?

The Chen Shuibian case...

Korean songs are just contemporary

trash music.

Dumplings are almost ready.

-Where are you going? -Yeah.

I'm going to find Qin Chuan.

Are you coming back to eat?

No, no.

Forget it.

[Jianbing Guru]

Here's the thing.

Just now,

I had a board meeting

with Comrade Long.

During this board meeting,

we unanimously passed

a resolution

to appoint you, Comrade Xie Qiao,

as the Vice General Manager

of our Jianbing Guru

during the New Year period.

Good!

Me?

Yes.

Look how popular our shop is.

We have lots of customers.

As we approach the end of the year,

we are even busier and overwhelmed.

And during the New Year period,

we also organized a

"Buy One Get One Free Through Reservations" promotion,

and sold 2000 pancakes.

That much?

That's right.

And it's almost sold out.

So we want to

ask you for a favor.

Sounds good, but in reality,

the position of the Deputy General Manager

is just a temporary job, doing odd jobs.

Why do you

care so much about your title?

If it doesn't work,

you can be the Secretary og the Chairman.

Who wants to be your secretary?

How about we share the bonus?

That's good enough.

What did I say?

Money can make the donkey push the mill.

You are the donkey.

No, the ghost.

You are the ghost!

[UK]

Let's go to Edinburg

this holiday.

I want to book

a hotel in a British castle.

Since when do you like

arrange my things?

I arranged the summer vacation.

We had fun in Europe.

Well, it seems like I was in the wrong,

making you arrange too much.

Is it really necessary for me to go through all this trouble

just to convince you to celebrate a festival together?

I didn't ask you for anything.

You can answer Xie Qiao's call

in front of me,

or go back to Xie Qiao.

I didn't say anything, did I?

What else do you want to say?

Xie Qiao is my girlfriend.

You know

what our relationship is.

Yes.

We're playmates.

I ate yours, drank yours,

stayed in your house.

All these years,

I came to the UK so many times

to play with you.

Don't you think

I'm more like a girlfriend

than her?

Then do you know why

you haven't become my girlfriend

for so many years?

Isn't it because we started

as a one-night stand relationship?

Our relationship doesn't have the "pure" love

of your "college campus romance."

You're wrong.

Why did Xie Qiao

become my girlfriend?

Because she neither tries to control me

nor asks me to do things.

She's not like you.

You always want to make another profit

even after taking advantage of everything.

What do you want me to do?

To be

a fool who wants nothing?

We play together if we're having fun,

but if we can't play together, we can always go our separate ways.

If you are not satisfied

with our current mode,

you can leave anytime.

What?

You want to break up?

Are you in such a hurry

to go back and marry her?

It's not impossible.

Let's wait and see.

Sir,

which one do you want to see?

I...

Is it for your girlfriend?

For someone else's girlfriend.

You're really good at joking.

Do you have any recommendations?

What kind of style does she like?

She is carefree

and naive girl.

So I think it shouldn't be too complicated,

nor too mature.

But it shouldn't be too exaggerated either.

It would be best

if it has a cute and unique style.

I think this Sweetheart Series necklace

is a perfect choice.

It's our new design for this year

and it's especially suitable

for young and careless girls.

Plus, it has a festive New Year vibe to it.

This is good. I'll take it.

Okay, I'll wrap it up for you.

[Jianbing Guru]

Hold on.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Sit there.

What do you want?

Take this.

You're too slow!

[Jianbing Guru]

I need to make a calculation.

There are definitely more than 2,000 orders today.

Of course.

I've even run out of backup ingredients.

Will there be so many orders tomorrow?

Another 2 thousand orders have been placed.

Gosh.

This is my saddest

New Year's Eve.

There's no gift, right?

And I was so busy.

You have to pay me double.

Gift?

Boss,

didn't you sneakily place

a gift box there this morning

when you woke up?

Right there.

This one.

This is...

Surprise!

Long,

make us two pancakes

for the New Year.

OK, no problem

Wang Ying?

You just came back?

I arrived with Yang Cheng.

He's right behind.

I heard that

Long can paint a Jianbing Guru

on the pancakes.

Why didn't you tell me

that you came back?

It's hard to book a flight.

I booked it before I left.

You didn't answer my call.

Maybe I was too busy to see it.

I thought you would come back

after the New Year.

Is it time

to give gifts?

No, this is...

For Wang Ying?

Let me unwrap it for you.

It looks expensive.

You're really thoughtful.

You must have made a lot of money with this business.

Take it.

Thanks.

You didn't

just get a gift for Wang Ying, did you?

Yes,

I have gifts for all of you.

They are hanging on the tree.

I've prepared them.

Here.

Happy New Year.

Thank you.

You treat us differently.

I despise you.

It's almost midnight.

Let me send you home.

Okay.

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

I slept on the plane.

Why don't we go to your place first?

You haven't put down your luggage yet.

It's not far from my house anyway.

I can take a taxi.

That's troublesome.

You might as well

stay at my place instead.

No... no need.

What's wrong?

It's not good.

Besides,

my parents

won't let me stay out all night.

What if

we get married?

Let’s have dinner together tomorrow night.

I'm going to help out at the Qin Chuan's restaurant tomorrow.

He must be really busy these days

with the business doing well.

Wang Ying is back.

Why are you still worried?

You're right.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

As for New Year's gift...

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Here.

It's obviously Xie Qiao's style.

It doesn't suit me.

I'm having dinner with Yang Cheng tomorrow.

I won't be able to help out tomorrow.

I knew it,

something bad would happen

once Yang came back.

Qiaoqiao will quit tomorrow.

You have to do it.

What do you mean?

You want me to be a waiter?

What else can I do?

You're the landlady.

And there will be 2 thousand orders tomorrow.

What?

Are we not making money?

I want an additional 10%

of the year-end profit sharing.

And,

I'm not the landlady.

I'm the boss.
