[In Love with Your Dimples]

[Ep23: The Faded Freedom]

Now that you are dating,

have you thought about taking things further?

Mom, there's a misunderstanding.

He and I are not in a relationship.

You talk. I'll get the door.

You are finally here.

Come on. Hurry.

Come on.

Why are you here?

I'm here to meet your mom.

You are?

Hello, ma'am. I am Lu Zhiyi.

I'm Lucky's boyfriend.

Sorry. I'm a bit late.

-You are Lucky's boyfriend?
-Yes.

Have a seat.

How did you and Lucky know each other?

We went to No.2 Middle School together.

No. 2 Middle School?

Lucky was only there

for half a semester.

Did you meet

at an alumni reunion?

Lucky was looking for a job back then.

I referred her to our company, so...

Mom, it's a long story.

Let's leave it now.

So, what does Lucky do in your company?

At first, she was a receptionist.

Now she's my assistant.

Receptionist? Assistant?

Do you know what her job was before?

I think she was a software engineer.

Senior software engineer.

Now, do you think

the role you gave her is suitable?

Lucky, do you think it's suitable?

-Yes, it is.
-Then it's suitable.

I think we should

make this conversation more efficient.

Lucky said all of you are her good friends.

Since she came back,

you've all been taking good care of her.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of Lucky.

It's rare for everyone to get together today.

So, I want to share a piece of good news with you.

ST Group in Silicon Valley

has given Lucky an offer.

They have agreed

to hire Lucky

as their senior software engineer.

The annual salary is very high. So, in a few days,

I'll take Lucky back to America.

What? Lucky, are you leaving?

Really?

Mom, what are you doing?

Do you come to see my friends

only to say this?

I have made it clear yesterday,

haven't I?

I won't go back with you.

I have also made it clear to you.

-You have to go back.
-This is ridiculous.

This is my body.

I should decide whether I go back or not.

You can't tie me up and send me back.

Right, I can't tie you up.

I am your mother.

Can't you perform some duties

as my daughter?

I am getting old now.

I also need you by my side.

It has been months since you left willfully.

Indeed, now you have

your own circle of friends

and a man you like.

So? Are these the most important things

in your life?

How about me? Your dad passed away early.

Have you thought about me, who raised you on my own,

and went to the U.S. with you

for your life, studies, and work?

Leave aside whether you will

accept ST's offer as soon as you go back.

Just because I am your mother

and I need you to go back with me,

will you go back?

I have booked a detailed physical examination.

A family member is required to come along.

You can decide what to do.

I want to live a happier life.

Here, I've met people

who make me happier.

I won't give up easily.

I want to be alone.

You are not alone now.

I know. You are annoyed now.

If you have any grievances,

just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself.

No matter what you feel,

I will go through it with you.

My mom wants to take me back to America.

What do you think?

Relax. I won't let you go.

She is always manipulating me, which annoys me.

I don't know what to do.

Why can't she just

let me have the life I want?

Why can't she just respect my decisions?

Why can't she

just let me live freely?

Okay.

-I know.
-And you.

I don't want you to keep Gu Ling company.

I am not that big-hearted.

I don't want my boyfriend to keep his ex company.

I just want you to be with me.

Okay.

But why didn't you

say these to me earlier?

I don't want you to think

I am a sensitive and selfish woman.

In a relationship,

what I need is not a generous woman.

I want you

to keep score, be sensitive,

and be true in front of me.

When you are sad,

you can yell at me.

You can act cute whenever you want.

Can you do that?

Wouldn't I run wild in front of you?

I like it when you run wild in front of me.

People only behave like this in front of

the person closest to them.

So, it shows that you and I are close.

Anyway, I have a new grudge against you today.

I've already come to comfort you.

Why is there a new grudge?

You were too late.

Look at the time now.

Your attitude changed so fast.

You became unreasonable so suddenly.

So what if I'm unreasonable?

Great. Come on, have your revenge.

Stop. I don't want to have my revenge now.

Wait till I want to do this.

No problem.

What are you doing?
I don't want to have my revenge now.

Look, I am wrong again.

There is another grudge.

Let's go. I'll take you to see the stars.

Did you come to my place

today only to send me a gift?

Did you hear any hearsay

and get here on purpose?

How can I be so resourceful?

It's just a coincidence.

I didn't know it beforehand.

Why did you send a message to Lu?

Don't you still

have some feelings for Lucky?

The final whistle has been blown.

Didn't you suggest me

to step back and find peace?

I don't have anything personal

against him in the first place. On the contrary,

I respect him

as my competitor.

You are my brother. Lucky is my schoolmate.

You both work at Tianzhuo.

If there is tension between him and me,

you two will be the ones suffering.

Listen to yourself.

I don't recognize you anymore.

Wait, do you

have a trick up your sleeve?

Come on!

Who thinks of their brother like that?

Zhan.

Do you really like Zhao Mengdi?

Yes, I do. What's wrong?

Let me ask you, what do you like about her?

What do I like about her?

I just think we are very compatible.

I feel relaxed and comfortable when I'm with her.

She doesn't have much background

or come with strong abilities.

But I just like her.

Being with her

makes me feel that I'm needed.

I enjoy this feeling a lot.

I'm also willing to put in effort for her.

Besides, she is so pretty

and so cute.

Are you shy?

I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be shy?

About the influencer contest
she entered recently,

she has a chance to be among the top three.

Lately, the organizer
has been pressing her to sign a contract.

But she keeps putting it off.

Do you know about this?

No, I don't.

Isn't this a good thing?

Why is she hesitant?

There is a stay-single clause in the contract

which means

artists must hide their romantic relationship

when they are signed to this company.

So...

How did you know about this?

I know their agent.

I overheard it.

Actually, at first, I thought

she would sacrifice you immediately.

But now, it seems

she really cares about you.

Zhan, if you really like her,

I suggest that you support her

and let her sign the contract.

I'll think about it.

Hello, Leon.

Hello, Mengdi.

Will you sign the contract or not?

Can I think about it a bit longer?

No, you can't. What's there to think about?

Tell you what, if you don't sign it,

there are people lining up to sign it.

I am so sorry,

Leon. I...

I'll give you two more days.
If you want to sign it,

come to my company
the day after tomorrow in the morning.

Otherwise, don't waste

each other's time anymore.

Okay, the day after tomorrow...

Why did you suddenly ask me
to have hotpot with you?

It's been a while. I have a craving for it.

[Zhao Mengdi]

-What?
-What are you thinking about? -Nothing.

Something on your mind?

No. Let's dig in.

Mengdi, what's wrong?

Lucky, tell me what to do.

What's wrong? What happened to you?

Don't cry.

Help me get two cans of beer.

Okay, wait here. Don't cry.

What happened?

Alright.

Okay, slow down.

I am hiding something from He Qizhan.

How dare she hide something from me!

You know, I recently

entered an influencer contest.

The organizer contacted me,
saying they want to sign me,

and I have the chance to be the winner this year.

Isn't it a good thing?

Mengdi, you will be famous.

Yeah, it's a good thing.

But there is a clause in the contract.

Romantic relationships can't be made public.

This is huge and she didn't tell me about it.

Isn't she going too far?

Yes, she is. But don't get mad.

I care about her.

That's why I am mad and imagining things.

If I don't care about her, why should I be mad?

I won't even think about it.

If I tell him about it,

with his hot temper,

he will definitely explode.

She hides it from me
so that I won't get mad, right?

Am I not mad now?

So, my idea is

to put it off as long as I can.

She is still putting it off at this stage.

Let's see how long she can put it off.

But now,

I can't put it off anymore.

Lucky, do you know?

This is the time
when I'm the closest to my dream.

Just tell him directly.

I...

Slow down.

That's enough.

I wonder,

why does she think if she tells me,

I won't cooperate with her?

If she tells you,

will you cooperate with her?

I...

That's enough.

He Qizhan.

He Qizhan.

Hello, Chubby Lu.

You know what's going on with them, right?

Where is Zhao Mengdi?

She got drunk and fell asleep here.

We need to think of a way to help them.

Think of something.

Give me a kiss.

Maybe I'll think of a way faster.

How about this?
You two get up early tomorrow morning.

Okay, but you need to tell...

Don't ask. You'll know tomorrow morning.

Fine, good night.

I hope we can soon live a life

in which we don't need to say good night anymore.

Lu, this is much more exciting
than what I have back at home.

How did you come up with it?

Life is so boring.

We need some excitement sometimes.

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

-I've invited others.
-Who?

Hello.

They are here.

He Qizhan.

-They are here.
-You two are in matching outfits.

He Qizhan.

Have you lost your tongue?
Why didn't you say hi to her?

I don't need to say hi since we're so close.

Is everyone here? If so, let's go.

This is the first time I play this.

Can you be my coach, He Qizhan?

Yeah.

You asked the wrong person.

I haven't even passed the driving test.

Let's go.

Let's go, Mengdi.

He Qizhan, help me with it.

I can't get it right.

Zhan, she is talking to you.

Help her now.

This is new to her.

We don't want any accidents.

Hurry.

So annoying.

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Is she okay?

Lucky.

Leave them.

Do you want to die?

Can't you dodge when a car is coming?

I don't worry if I get hurt.

I worry if you get hurt.

Are you silly?

I'm not silly. I'm just stupid.

About the contract thing,

it's my fault indeed.

Actually, there were a few times

when I almost told you about it.

But when I thought of what you said

at home that night,

I just gave up.

Back then, why didn't I notice

you meant more than you said?

Well, I can't see from daily life that

you are such a careless person.

Shin-chan once said,

"you have to say sorry if you did something wrong,

because every kid in kindergarten

does it."

I know it's wrong.

I also know you are mad for real.

But it's because

I really care about you, which made me

hesitant and clueless about how to say it.

Will you forgive me?

Sorry, it's my fault.

Even if I am mad,

I dare not throw a tantrum in front of you.

Because I worry maybe I'm not that important

in your heart.

He Qizhan, do you know?

I developed feelings for you

when you carried me for the first time.

I know you were just saving me from embarrassment,

but I can't stop myself

from having feelings for you.

I can't play video games well.

I know nothing about computers.

And I get jealous easily.

But I just want to give you

everything that I think is good in this world.

I'm willing to do anything I can for you.

Only because I like you.

Stop being mad, okay?

How about this? I will

call them later and say

I won't sign the contract.

What's the rush?

Everyone has a dream.

A person who wants to realize their dream

is not wrong.

I've thought about it. As your boyfriend,

no matter what the circumstance is,

I have no reason

to stop you from fulfilling your dreams.

Don't you mind that stay-single clause?

Of course I do. However,

there are always some fools in this world

who are willing to take risks

for their loved ones' dreams.

I am one of them.

If you dare to hide anything from me again,

see what I will do to you.

I won't. I'll never do this again.

You are good. I didn't expect that

with your poor EQ,

you can think of a way like this.

Tell you what.

I always exceed people's expectations.

About this,

the longer you are with me,

the better you will know.

I'm kidding.

I saw that you wrote you wanted

to play go-karts in your notebook,

so I just decided to go there.

In that case,

we came up with this way together.

I guess so.

What are you doing?

It's dark and cold in the woods.

I need to take good care of you.

You are so protective of me.

I am not just protective of you.

I will always be your hedgehog

and cling on to you tightly

so that you can't escape.

I am so scared.

Then you must cling on to me tightly.

You can't fall off me.

I want to lie on your back every day

to watch the sunrise, the sunset,
the stars, and the moon.

No problem. Come on.

Ride on my back.

Have you gained weight recently?

What did you say, Chubby Lu?

Mengdi, you are finally here.

Today is a big day for you.

This is the beginning of your acting career.

Um, Leon,

I'm not here to sign the contract today.

Sorry. I lied to you.

In fact, I have a boyfriend.

-You have a boyfriend?
-Yes.

The street prince that was filmed the other day

is my boyfriend.

He is waiting for me outside.

I have thought it through.

If I can really make my debut one day,

I want everyone

to know his existence.

Therefore, I can't sign the contract.

Thank you for thinking highly of me. Goodbye.

Hello, Leon.

Qiaosheng, your brother is really something!

This girl didn't sign the contract

because of your brother.

She didn't?

Have you signed it?

I didn't sign it.

I thought about it.

I still can't hide your existence.

Don't. I already agreed to it.

Go back there now.

No. Compared with signing the contract,

I want to live an honest life with you more.

I don't want you to make compromises

in our relationship.

It's not fair to you.

I think we can be together

because we admire, depend on,

and trust each other.

We choose to be together

so that we can be better

for each other.

Hello, Leon.

Mengdi, we can cancel that clause.

Come up and sign the contract.

Really?

Come up quickly.

Okay.

I will come up now. Great.

What happened?

He said the stay-single clause is canceled.

-Really?
-Really.

Fantastic! It's canceled.

I gotta go.

-Go.
-Okay. Bye.

The last time we met,

we didn't talk it through.

Since you say you are Lucky's boyfriend,

I want to ask, what's your plan

for Lucky's future?

Here's the thing, auntie.

No matter if it's now or in the future,

I will always respect

Lucky's choice.

I won't interfere with her career plan,

nor will I interfere

with her life plan.

She can continue to be my assistant

or do what she used to do
in the programming department.

Or if she doesn't want to work

and prefers to rest for a while,

it's also fine.

Rest for a while?

It means no income.

Then she'll just do nothing
and deplete her savings.

How will she afford

to do things she loves?

You don't need to worry about that.

I still have some savings.

So far, it seems it's totally enough

for her to do things she loves.

Although I have seen

many sincere promises

and have experienced much hardship in life,

upon hearing your words,

I am still moved.

But I always believe

the biggest guarantee
of a person's happiness comes from oneself.

And Lucky has the ability to do so.

For Lucky, ST is the biggest guarantee

she can have for a promising future.

As for you,

I don't think I can take this risk.

What if I can prove to you

that Lucky can still have

a promising future when she's with me?

Will you agree to let her stay?

Promising?

Do you mean marriage?

I don't think you are there yet.

Do you truly believe

Lucky can have a better future here than at ST?

I don't mean that.

I just hope that

you can give us more time.

I will prove to you

that what we hold on to is meaningful.

-How much time?
-Half a year. -Half a year?

Do you know

how many half years a girl has?

-One month then.
-One month?

Are you a little too reckless?

Fine. Let me think about it.

I have brought Meatball's stuff here.

Can I come in to see him?

Come in.

Meatball.

Meatball.

Your saliva is all over it.

Look what it is. Fetch it.

You are recovering well.

Thank you for looking after me in the hospital.

Lu Xiaoyi.

Can you give me another chance?

Gu Ling, in my heart,

you are always a brave girl

who can accept whatever happens.

This time, I hope you can also get over me.

I just want to

follow my heart bravely.

I know that you are still in my heart.

So, I can't let you go.

I don't want to put on a brave face

when it comes to my loved one and my love life.

I am now fragile.

I need the one I love

to care for and support me

so that I can be brave again.

Do you understand?

You can't get over me
only because you refuse to accept the reality.

I don't know what reminded you of me

in the two years when we are apart.

But similarly,

you need to accept others' changes.

Apart from your parents,

no one will wait for you for two years.

You come back for me

mainly because you have nothing better to do.

You want to find a target

and enjoy the fun of preying on someone.

You wrongly overestimated

what you mean to me in my heart.

My heart was indeed filled and occupied by you

in the past.

But similarly,

you need to accept that after you gave up,

others can enter my heart.

Lucky Tang?

She is not your type.

I can't figure out what is good about her.

She is the one filling up my heart.

Her charm lies in my eyes

and in my mind. I don't need

to explain it or recommend her to others.

What I want is to have her all by myself.

Lu Zhiyi,

you have never said things like that to me.

Stop competing with yourself, okay?

No matter what happened before,
it's all in the past.

I hope that just like

you adamantly left me for America two years ago,

now you can bravely accept

the fact that I don't love you anymore.

You weren't like this before.

I don't believe

our love will fade over time.

Have you forgotten how much you loved me before?

No, I haven't.

I haven't forgotten what happened before.

It's all in the past.

I didn't mention it because

I didn't want you to look bad

and I wanted to have you back.

It wasn't because I didn't know.

You knew.

Why didn't you question me if you knew?

You already did it.

Do I need to push you to admit it?

Do you want to tear apart

the only good things you left in my heart?

It's not necessary.

You didn't question me.

Is it because you want to forgive me

and have me back in your life?

I have never

apologized to anyone before.

I am apologizing to you today. I am sorry.

I am really sorry.

You have always been the one I love.

I also love you now. I really do.

Come back to me.

Gu Ling, get over it, okay?

You only love yourself.

You just have yet to accept that

I have someone else now.

You always believe that you are special.

When someone takes

something you think belongs to you,

you become possessive.

It's not love. You just refuse to accept the reality.

There is no winning or losing in love.

You either love or don't love someone.

It's enough that we once loved each other.

If there is still something good left,

just keep it dearly

in our memories.

Can you do that?

Why are you here?

What? Can't I come here?

I also plan to live here.

Live here?

Good. Let me show you.

-Show me what?
-Come on. -What?

What do you think?

Is the design of this room to your taste?

It's alright. Not bad.

Look at this picture.

How handsome this guy was when he was young!

Alright, cut the crap.

I'm hungry. Let's eat.

Do you just eat this every day?

Aren't these all your favorites?

So thoughtful.

How is Mengdi's contract thing going lately?

Don't you know it?

I'll talk to Leon again.

Ask him to look out for her.

Great.

You don't even pretend to refuse it?

Do I need to?

You are quite happy today.

What? Aren't you happy?

You're not happy about me being here.
Is that what you mean?

I'm happy.

Zhan, I've done a lot of thinking lately.

When it comes to you,

I indeed went to extremes before.

My methods were too tough.

But I just thought that

my brother is so handsome and talented,

-so he must...
-That's enough.

I am your brother, not your son.

Don't hold high hopes for me

and put pressure on me, okay?

If you really want to act as a father,

get married soon and have a child

so that I can also take care of your child

like how you take care of me, right?

I think Ye Lin is great.

Don't just

bring anyone back.

If I don't like this person,

I won't be nice to her, okay?

Can you imagine it?

I won't be nice.

Are you here to urge me to get married?

Don't forget who's the older brother.

Feels like you're bullying me.

In your words,

this is for your own good.

You are my brother.

If I don't bully you, who can I bully?

Who am I to bully others?

Do you know how much effort I put in to get this bear?

Yes, I do.

There won't be another one if you break it again.

Got it?
-Yes.

Speak up.

Yes.

Who do you think this silly face looks like?

-You.
-You.

[Shareholder Withdrawal Agreement]
[Party A: Gu Ling]
[Party B: Lu Zhiyi]

-I want to have another cup of coffee.
-Okay.

[Shareholder Withdrawal Agreement]
[Party A: Gu Ling]
[Party B: Lu Zhiyi]

I see.

Follow the relevant procedures and get it done ASAP.

But Mr. Lu, our...

Do as I say.

Okay.

Remember, don't say this to anyone.

Got it.

[Here You Are: Someone Take My Brother Away!]

Will you lose sleep after I am gone?

No, I won't. Without your snoring,

I'll fall asleep faster.

After I am gone,

will you feel lonely?

No, I won't.

I still have Lu Zhiyi.

After I am gone,

will you feel sad?

No. After you are gone,

everything at home will be mine.

Fine. After I am gone,

you won't be sad, right?

Of course I won't.

Don't make a drama out of it. Let's go.

Don't see me off.

The airport is so far away.

You have to go all the way back if you do.
Too much trouble.

Take good care of yourself.
