[My Dearest]

[Episode 3]

[Charity Auction Gala] Your aunt sent me a red envelope.

Just keep it then.

Take it as the fee for your performance tonight.

This is too much money.

What if I fail to put on a good act?

You don't have to be too great.

As long as you know how to nod and smile,

you'll be okay.

What's wrong?

I saw someone I shouldn't have seen.

Who?

Stop asking.

Later, head in the opposite direction

of where I'm going.

Then, what should I do

when the banquet starts?

I'll find you.

Go.

Okay.

This is called

Paris Breath.

A baker

was making some desserts

while watching the Tour de France

when he got the inspiration.

Aren't you the kid

from Jiang Qi's restaurant?

To be precise,

we're actually of the same age.

What are you doing here?

I...

I'm here for a girl.

You can donate your dignity

to someone else,

but stop messing around

with the ladies.

I'm planning to behave now.

Hey, you shouldn't

delay me from finding my true love.

Yu, is that you?

Long time no see.

So, the reason you're here

is almost the same as mine.

You're here to score some free food too?

I don't know if this counts.

I'm just here to check out

what the Western chefs here

are working on every day.

Well?

After seeing so much,

have you learned anything?

Tour de France,

the opera,

and the maker of the Napoleon Cake

with the most layers.

By the way,

I've been working on a new dish lately,

and I need a taster.

Why don't we pair up?

When you're free,

drop by my kitchen and taste my food.

What do you say?

Your kitchen?

Why don't you invite me

to the police station instead?

You know what happened between me and Jiang Qi.

I don't want to see him again.

If I go there again, I'd be a dog.

Of course I'd call you over

when he's not around.

Sure, I'll think about it.

Jiang Qi.

Why are you hiding from him?

Did he dump you too?

I took the day off

to come here.

So, it was you who dumped him.

He's gone.

Can we finally pair up now?

You two know each other?

We are now close friends.

What a coincidence.

We are housemates.

Let's go.

We're going back.

See you next time.

[Charity Auction Gala]

That kid earlier

is a chef in Jiang Qi's restaurant, right?

I've seen him before.

What are the odds?

I almost bumped into Jiang Qi.

If he hadn't helped me

and Jiang Qi had noticed me,

how would you explain to him?

Wait.

You knew he was coming,

and you brought me here?

Didn't Jiang Qi tell you

that Chen Yuting is his mother?

So?

His mom is a famous figure in the F&B industry.

She owns this hotel.

You know nothing

about Jiang Qi's family?

Things went south before I could.

As far as I know about him,

he wouldn't attend such events.

I don't know why he's here today.

And you claim

to be his childhood friend who grew up seeing each others' butts?

This is the first item to be auctioned tonight.

[Details] It is a valuable collector's item.

A master-level longbow from the Han dynasty,

starting at

50,000 yuan.

[Archery Challenge]

I saw

a valuable composite bow,

and I heard that many professional archers have one of those.

Your birthday is coming soon.

It'll be my gift to you, okay?

Archery is just my hobby.

No need to be wasteful.

As for my gift,

having you as my training partner is enough.

You know I don't like to celebrate birthdays.

I know.

That's what you say,

but I think

at a certain stage in life,

you need to change your belongings

into things that match your current life.

Your archery skills are improving,

so we need to get you a better bow.

(60,000.)

Okay, 60,000.

100,000.

100,000.

100,000.

100,000, going once.

I saw a rich, pretty woman

behind us, on our right.

Want to take a look?

I'm not interested.

You're not interested in pretty ladies?

Are you just single

or actually celibate?

Alright, deal.

Let's go.

Lin Hengyu.

That pretty lady is calling you.

Shouldn't you say hi?

Jiang Qi has already left,

so there shouldn't be

anyone else that you can't meet.

Lin Hengyu.

Aren't you going to say hi before you leave?

Oh, I got it.

You mean someone you're not supposed to meet.

Well,

give me the command, and we'll run.

I think my high heels

can handle this.

What should I do?

Nod.

Smile.

Okay.

I once said that I'd buy

a better bow for you,

and I've finally gotten the chance to do so.

This is for you.

Didn't you say that you wanted to learn archery?

I can teach you.

Uh-huh.

Thanks.

I'll transfer the money to you later.

This is?

My fiancee,

Xiang Yan.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lin Hengyu's

ex-girlfriend.

My name is Tan Shishi.

[Tan Shishi, Lin Hengyu's ex-girlfriend, known for her decisiveness]

Let's not talk about the past.

Sure.

Then, let's talk about

the future.

About the future,

since you're kind enough to give Yan this beautiful bow,

we'll invite you to our wedding,

so remember to come early.

We're off.

Well?

Have you achieved your goal?

There is ample time for that in the future.

Luckily, I'm not your real fiancee,

or else I'd have a heart attack.

My ex-boyfriend

and your ex-girlfriend

appeared together.

Next time, before you bring me to such events,

take a look at the guest list, will you?

I told you,

I didn't know Jiang Qi was coming.

How could two surprises

come at the same time?

What should we do now?

I'll handle this.

What's going on?

Do you mind explaining it to me?

I'll explain it to you.

You have achieved

what you wanted,

so

there's no need to ask why.

So, you are...

Xiang Yan is now my girlfriend.

It was love at first sight.

When we get married,

we'll name you as our matchmaker.

Sounds great.

That means I'm entitled to receive some money, right?

Sure.

If there's nothing else,

we have to go now.

Okay.

Xiang Yan.

Don't look back.

I know that you loathe me now,

but I just want to apologize.

I've forgiven you.

Let's go.

Consoling a girl is a boyfriend's job,

not a male roommate's.

Besides, I don't need

any consoling now.

I don't even feel perturbed.

You didn't say a word,

so I thought you were mulling over it.

I was just holding back my laughter.

I had to keep my act up, no?

Okay.

What a good actress.

Great acting.

Had I studied

communications

and enrolled in an acting school,

I would have been a future star.

Okay,

future star.

Let's go home now.

Sure.

Wait.

[Mom] It's my mom. Don't say anything.

Hello, Mom?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

What is it?

What did your mom say?

She said...

Xiang Yan told me

[Follow Your Heart] to come here and try your cooking.

Now that I've finally tasted it,

I must say it's delicious.

Still, you don't have to be so courteous.

If we got found out,

let's just tell them the truth.

It's okay.

Leave it to me.

This is getting out of hand.

What should we do?

I got this.

Let's go.

My son Hengyu told Yan

that they're not planning to get married.

I guess this is why

Hengyu hasn't visited you yet.

They're not planning to get married?

There are some things

that they're still sorting out,

but they're living together now.

Given our generation's values,

I think...

They're already cohabiting?

As parents, we all feel the same.

At this rate,

I think

we might be holding your daughter back from getting married,

so after some consideration,

I decided to pay you a visit.

I have an idea.

If our children aren't planning to get married,

as their parents,

shouldn't we think of a way

to encourage them to do so?

I've thought of every possible way.

But it's obvious

that Xiang Yan has given up on persuading him to get married.

Perhaps the youngsters

have their own plans.

Well,

I should go now.

I shall not keep you any longer.

Wait...

Hello, Ms. Deng.

Hello, Mrs. Xiang.

Hello, Mr. Xiang.

So, you're the kid who owns a restaurant?

What did you say?

Restaurant?

My son is a dentist.

If you're talking about the restaurant owner,

you must mean Jiang...

Ms. Deng, actually...

Actually, it was me

who used Jiang Qi's identity

to deceive Yan.

You heard him?

This kid just admitted that he's a con man.

Wait, Mr. Xiang.

Yes.

It's my fault.

When I started dating Yan,

I deceived her using Jiang Qi's identity

because I was worried that she'd find a dentist

too cold

and boring.

I've explained everything to her after that.

But we thought

we'd have a lot to explain to you,

so Yan and I decided

to...

To continue dating

and wait for the right time

to tell you.

We don't understand what you youngsters

are thinking,

but

my husband and I

are not that unreasonable.

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

But don't worry.

Yan and I

are truly in love.

I won't disappoint her.

Stay here

for the night.

I've tidied up your room.

Okay.

Where else is she supposed to stay, anyway?

Living together with a man?

Can't you speak nicely?

Why are you yelling?

This is the daughter you've raised!

Only I raised her, you mean?

Have you ever

raised her, then?

Yes, I haven't,

but I didn't teach her to elope with another man!

The only time you won't fight

is when we don't have guests around, right?

Rest early.

That's how your father is.

We're here, Mom.

Mom, see you.

You're not staying at home?

Your grandma misses you.

Next time.

Drive carefully.

Okay.

Hengyu.

Hey, brat.

Why didn't you tell me you're back?

I was just dropping Mom off.

I'm leaving now.

Stay the night here.

Your grandma misses you.

She's been losing sleep,

and she's still awake.

Tell Grandma

that I'll visit her some other day.

When is that exactly?

When you're not around.

I'm off.

What's with that attitude?

Nemo.

Yes?

Is there anyone that you don't want to meet?

I only have people that I want to meet

and people that I'm destined to meet.

(Here.)

Careful.

Look how happy

my birthday boy is.

Your dad is busy,

so he can't join us.

However,

your grandma and aunt will be with us.

We'll keep you company, okay?

Where is Dad?

He's with that lady there.

[Follow Your Heart]

You're brushing your teeth?

Hurry up.

I need to get ready for work.

For a girl,

you're getting too jittery.

It's only six in the morning.

I have to.

The office is far from here.

I need to take two bus trips to get there.

Your office is far from our house?

Then, where is it near to?

The love nest you're sharing with that brat?

You'd better come back home tonight.

Don't go anywhere else.

Ah!

Oh no.

Good morning, Xiang Yan.

Morning.

Yan!

Huan.

What's wrong?

What happened?

50 yuan.

It's gone.

I thought you're staying nearby.

Why were you late?

It's a long story.

What are you holding?

Right.

This is the manuscript

from Sheng Sheng Se, the novelist.

I've also summarized

some parts of the story

so you can use them as drawing inspiration.

Thank you.

I've been researching

the book about gourmet,

and I forgot about this.

It's okay.

You still have me.

By the way,

the novelist wants

to talk to

her novel's illustrator.

I forgot to tell you that.

She wants to meet me?

I knew I'd bump into you here.

I don't come here often.

Because I'm not here?

Because I want to spend more time with my fiancee.

If I were your fiancee,

you'd have more personal space.

Won't you consider it?

Miss Tan.

There's a limit to what you can joke about.

What do you want?

My career has been smooth sailing over the past few years,

and I no longer need to work like a horse

like I did years ago.

I simply think

that my current self

is a better marriage candidate for you compared to my old self

and, of course,

your little fiancee.

I know

you'd never quit until you achieve your goals.

But pardon me for saying this.

This time, I don't want to be

your target.

The best way to achieve your goal

is repeating.

The best way to start over with you

is to meet you.

We'll always meet again.

(You'd never quit until you achieve your goals.)

(But pardon me for saying this.)

(This time, I don't want to be)

(your target.)

Potato, Potato.

Sweet Potato here.

I'm right outside the restaurant now.

Jiang Qi's not here today, is he?

Xiang Yan.

Are you here to try my new dishes?

I happen to be meeting a client here.

Would Jiang Qi suddenly return?

I don't think so.

He's not around lately.

But...

But what?

Didn't you tell me on WeChat

that you two have nothing to do with each other now?

You don't have to hide from him.

The best way to avoid awkwardness

is to never meet again.

That's all for now.

I'm going in.

Hello.

Are you Sheng Sheng Se?

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

I'm an illustrator at Polaris Publishing,

Xiang Yan.

Hi, Sheng Sheng Se.

My real name is Zhou Xuan.

I will narrate

my story orally to you

and see how it'd look like

in your illustrations.

Okay, go ahead.

Let me get my recording pen.

How about this?

I'll draw while you talk.

But

my draft

might end up a little rough,

is that okay?

Sure.

Okay.

You're finally here.

Is there anything?

No.

You didn't attend the Charity Gala?

I had something else to do.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

But since we couldn't meet last time,

I wonder

when I can see you next time.

I'll think about it.

Why don't I

get your contact?

If next time doesn't work,

there's always another next time.

I will always wait for you lovingly.

Contact remarks?

Remarks?

1.66 meters.

Lu Nian.

Aquarius.

Not an easy chick to pick up.

Why are you here again?

To get a dental checkup.

I did make an appointment.

I'm already lying down.

Aren't you coming?

Put these goggles on.

Open your mouth.

I can feel assured

leaving my novel in your care.

That's great.

If you have any questions,

you can just

contact me on WeChat.

Be prepared, then.

I'm going to

disturb you anytime.

No problem.

Okay, I need to go now.

You're leaving.

I'll walk you out.

It's okay.

See you next time.

Okay, stay safe.

Bye.

Recently, things are going missing in our kitchen,

you know?

I don't.

Is there any problem?

Forget it.

When Mr. Jiang comes back,

I'll talk to him.

Just in time.

I'll foot the bill.

She paid the bill just now.

I just wanted to ask

if you have time to taste my new dish.

I just made it.

Not today.

I need to retrieve my recording pen.

Where are you going?

I can drive you there.

I'm...

It's kind of complicated.

I'll go there myself.

Thanks.

You're not eating?

Not now.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

You must be Xiang Yan.

Yes, that's me.

Do you know Lin Hengyu?

I'm his grandma.

Hello, Grandma.

I'm here to visit him.

I don't know if you two have got off work,

and I'd hate to impose on you, so...

How about this, Grandma?

Let me show you in

so you can take a rest.

Nemo.

Yes?

Set the lights here in warm mode.

Okay, Gill.

Wow.

What a classy place.

What did that sound call you?

Gill?

Isn't your name Xiang Yan?

Nemo.

So,

keep the television on.

Well,

I'll make some food for you.

Okay.

Please make yourself at home.

Your teeth are good.

Very healthy.

All right.

You can go now.

Here.

Rinse your mouth.

Hello?

What is it?

You're not getting off work yet?

Your grandma went to your house.

I thought she had met you now.

Is Yan at home?

She's not.

Your mom went to Yan's house yesterday.

Did you two have a tiff?

No.

Don't worry.

I'll be back soon.

Got it.

Is that your aunt?

Yes.

She speaks loudly as before.

I can hear her even from here.

She's always been this way.

You're going back home?

I can give you a ride.

No thanks.

I'm driving.

I'll be going back myself.

You're still the same after all these years,

thinking that your lies can deceive everyone.

Your car is restricted today.

You thought I forgot?

Grandma,

your grandson

has a new name in the system, Marlin.

My name is

Gill.

These names come from this movie.

You can choose one, too.

Then, I'll

choose

Crush.

Crush?

Grandma, you just chose

the big sea turtle.

So what?

Turtles can live for a long time.

They can keep Hengyu company.

Besides,

they'd never get lost.

Yan.

In your heart,

how is

Hengyu like?

He's a drama king

and a liar.

But he's still a kind person.

It's just that he's bad

at interacting with other humans.

Hengyu

may look like a loner,

but

he needs someone by his side.

He left home

because of my fault.

How is it your fault, Grandma?

It's his own choice.

Hengyu needs

a girl like you by his side.

So,

I'm begging you.

You must

spend more time with Hengyu, okay?

Grandma.

I did something wrong.

I can't sleep every night.

When I do fall asleep,

I get nightmares.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Don't scare me, Grandma.

What happened?

Grandma?

Grandma?

What did you do?

Nothing.

Grandma is already old.

How could you give her alcohol?

Grandma?

Grandma?

Call 120.

Okay.

All right.

Everyone else, stay here.

[Dongchuan Emergency Room]

Hengyu?

Mom.

What happened?

She had some alcohol.

We don't know if she's okay now.

Alcohol?

Who gave her alcohol?

I thought she quit drinking.

I did.
