[Only Side by Side with You]

[Episode 13]

The issue is... who agreed to put this product on the market?

Sales opportunities are fleeting.

You know as well as I do how competitive the drone market is in the States.

I didn't sign off on it because I wasn't certain the product should be released.

The problem this time

is you overstepped your boundaries and broke our agreement.

You broke our rules!

You aren't the only one who thinks of Future Up as your life.

I do too. We all do.

I suggest packing up and leaving before news reaches mainland China.

You should sell the company while the market value is still high.

The employees get a good springboard...

the shareholders get sizable profits...

and you get a giant load of cash.

Win-win for everyone.

The weather is rough right now. In this complicated terrain...

losing satellite connection is expected.

Let's go back and run more tests. We'll definitely find the answer.

That blackbox data is irreplaceable to me.

Xiao Qiao!

- Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao! - The rain is getting heavier.

It's too dangerous here. We can't stay here anymore!

Actually, you can...

choose to shut your eyes first.

Because then it means you've voluntarily chosen the darkness.

How do sleep usually? With your eyes open?

With the bedside lamp on.

Then just imagine for tonight...

that I'm your bedside lamp.

I'm just going to watch you.

Otherwise my money has gone to nothing.

Considering how our dad looks... Zhou Ran must have gotten beaten badly.

The next time you see our family, you'd better cross the street.

The further you go, the better.

Dad, for your back. It's more comfortable like this.

It's fine, my back is fine. Don't worry.

Nan Qin. You still haven't gotten your car fixed?

You can't run away from your problems! Does running away fix anything?

I wonder who's the one that's running away...

Hello, officer. I'm Nan Hong Zhou's family.

Oh? It's a good thing you've come. Come and look.

Look at what he did to the other party.

The victim has chosen not to press charges.

You should go home and give your father a proper talking to.

- He's already so old. - Right.

- Here, take a look. - I'm sorry for all the trouble.

- Your dad is pretty awesome. - Naturally.

Look. See what I was saying?

What if he hurts himself acting so rough at that age?

Xiao Qiao.

Nan Qin, watch Dad's back. I saw the video, he really strained it.

I know!

Also, I'm going to get my car fixed.

- Why don't you take care of Dad? - I don't need her to take care of me.

Sure. I'll come down after I sign the papers.

We're right outside. Come out after you're done.

- Dad, watch your back. - I'm not that fragile.

Xiao Qi, is this your store?

This is my first time here in all this time.

I'll just sit over here.

I'm fine.

A young girl running a store and raising pets...

Simple and respectable, it's perfect.

Uncle Nan, Nan Qiao is pretty great too.

She has her own dreams and the courage to realize them.

Your daughter is just like you. She's really impressive.

She's not as great as you say.

She really is, though.

She recently went into the mountains to conduct test flights on her drone

and encountered a huge storm and mudslides.

If it were me, I would've been terrified. But look at her, she's totally fine.

She slept in my store for a night and was back at her drones the next day.

When were you stuck in the mountains?

What did I say at dinner the other night?

If anything happens to you because of your drones, you're a fool.

Are you deaf to my words?

Do you think doing this is for science, for your country?

What a joke.

I went to conduct tests to find the reason for our crashes.

It wasn't for nothing. I got something out of it.

What did you gain exactly?

Do you want the entire family to worry over you...

or do you want to take all your friends to the grave with you?

Zhou Ran is despicable, but think about his words.

Have you ever been in a relationship with anything other than this machine?

- Dad, can we move on from Zhou Ran? - He's moved on, but you haven't.

You haven't learned from your mistakes at all.

If anything happens to you, it's not me you should feel sorry towards.

It's your brother.

You were stuck all night, I was so scared. Are you okay?

I thought I wouldn't be, but it turns out I was fine.

I thought she'd be fine, but it turns out she's more scared of the dark than I am.

She chose to be stronger than you to protect you.

You know, I was really afraid last night that I would die.

Because if I died... there wouldn't be anyone to say

that they were my bedside lamp.

That's all it takes to make you emotional?

People who've never been in a relationship are so gullible.

I'm an incandescent lamp. The 200-watt kind.

Shi Yue, your love has descended!

- Your love is so simple. - What is love?

It's when someone's words mean nothing to others but everything to you.

What am I saying? That you've really fallen for her!

I have ulterior motives for getting close to her.

I have an end goal I've thought everything through.

But if you say I've fallen for her...

what does that represent?

That I've succeeded.

No matter how well your plans are laid out...

you can't predict where they lead.

- Here. - You're staying for Ouyang Qi?

I at least have to try.

I'll find another path if this doesn't work out.

You often say, "First come first serve."

If you ask me, you're nowhere close enough to achieve that.

Distance is nothing.

You don't have to keep her within sight. You just keep her within your heart.

If you're so cocky, she might just punch you again.

She could go Wong Fei Hung on me for all I care.

The first time it's an accident. The second time it becomes a story.

And the third time? Love. Let the thunderstorm rage on!

If you want to chase her you should at least know where she is.

Where is she? Behold...

Walk 1,056 steps past that building over there...

turn left and walk 2,027 steps through the second intersection...

turn left and arrive at the park.

From there... you can see the animal hospital in the distance.

You remember it so well?

Why do you have to watch her from a distance?

Because Ouyang Qi has to be appreciated from afar.

Oh, I get it. Messing with her is dangerous.

You have to approach with caution.

You often call yourself a tech-savvy person.

Why not utilize the tools around you then?

What?

Minimal danger, maximum success rate.

You're good. Give me your phone.

I'm going to try it.

Why do you have to use my phone?

Why would I do this stuff under my name? Obviously I should use yours.

I'm not interested in Ouyang Qi.

Aren't you interested in Nan Qiao?

Oh yeah. Remember to get Nan Qiao to change the camera on this drone

to one with infrared night vision.

I'm going to go change.

- Xiao Qiao, go help me watch the store. - Okay.

Uncle Nan, have some water.

Look.

Nan Si and I took these while we were traveling.

He was so busy. It took him a year to get this time off.

Halfway through, he was called back for an urgent mission.

He felt really bad about it.

So is that why he ended up coming back to be with you?

But then... these photos of both of you...

I didn't want him to feel guilty so I told him I could finish the trip alone.

I could just photoshop him in later.

Then if we looked back in the future, it would be as if we were together.

So all these photos you're seeing were edited by me afterwards.

Xiao Qi.

Nan Si liked you because he had good taste.

It's sad that he wasn't fated to be your husband

and our family wasn't meant to have you.

Look, I'm old and senile. Why am I bringing up the past?

Xiao Qi.

Nan Si isn't coming back.

It's just like this trip of yours.

He won't be able to accompany you to the end.

You still have to live out the rest of your life.

All right, I'm going to go home.

- I'll see you off. - Okay.

Here is good. You should go back.

Let's go ask this person why they like your drone.

I don't make drones to satisfy other people.

- Where are you going? - Rock climbing.

[Calling Shi Yue]

[Incoming: Call Connected]

What? The thunderbolt goddess didn't murder the peeping tom?

- How are you still alive to call me? - Shi Yue...

I put myself at risk to get this info.

Nan Qiao is heading to rock climbing. Whether you go or not is up to you.

[If I don't fear the dark, you can't be afraid of mistakes!]

Another chance meeting?

I came intentionally.

Do you want to say something?

You said you'd be my bedside lamp. Why don't I be your guide this time?

I like this kind of view.

However...

it's enough for it to be seen by only me.

This is what you call guiding?

I just want to show you the way forward.

If nice words were all it took...

Future Up would've seen success a long time ago.

What would other people think if you put it like that?

Who is Nan Qiao in the eyes of others?

An invincible, strong woman. A machine that never runs out of steam.

Why am I not allowed to be discouraged?

I just want to be depressed this one time!

Our cellphones... the Internet, computers...

A century ago, you wouldn't even have called these concepts idealistic.

Fantastical is more like it.

You've finally made it all this way. Is it worth it to you to give up now?

Not to mention you have all these colleagues with you.

That's true.

Wendy, Qin, Kui, Xiao An.

They used three years of their life to build the company with me.

Why would I want to give up?

Did I say I was going to give up?

Failure obviously makes you unhappy.

But mistakes are mistakes. There's no point in focusing on them.

You might as well just start over.

- Are you messing with me? - No.

You've underestimated me.

Coddling? You, saying nice things?

Are you thirsty?

[If I don't fear the dark, you can't fear making mistakes!]

All are tired.

Why don't I share some signs of sleepy drivers?

Actually, when Yuan Yuan was...

Ice and snow showers to be expected today.

Weather everyday...

"You are so important to me that I can't stop despite the pain."

"If it's..."

Radio stations play such old songs these days?

I think they're great. Don't you like them?

Here. Here, here, here!

Here, all of this! The small one.

I was expecting an assistant, but it turns out I got an overseer.

I have to keep watch for you. What if a customer sues you?

It's not easy being a litter box cleaner.

So? Is it clean now?

Next one.

Do you still have facial masks at home?

It looks like you're truly done with Zhou Ran.

You start focusing on your appearance when you've got a new love interest.

Now that I think about it, that night you spent with Shi Yue...

Your nyctophobia didn't act up.

Shi Yue must be as therapeutic as my dogs and cats.

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

But after that night, I can pretty much conclude

that I'm the type that gets stronger when I'm with someone weaker.

I've heard some things about Shi Yue.

Let's hear it.

You've become a gossip?

I'm bored right now!

He's not a simple character.

But of course, all this is just conjecture and might not be true.

I just want to make sure you know what you're getting into.

- I get it. - His father passed when he was about 20.

He was left with a bunch of debt so he dropped out of school to make money.

He's three or four years older than you.

If you calculate... you were studying in Germany at the time, right?

If you compare them, your lives were so different.

Different yes, but not by worth.

Afterwards, he came across some important person.

I don't know what happened then...

And then he left that person and became independent.

Is that it?

Isn't that just a coming-of-age story? What's so special about it?

That important person was a woman.

So?

Are you stupid or are you naïve? Do I have to spell it out for you?

Think about it. With Shi Yue's looks and body...

He could practically live off his face for several decades.

Don't ask about the past, but look towards the future.

What does his past have anything to do with me?

You really gave her Tai's ledger?

Yes.

Presenting An Ning with such a gift... isn't this not an appropriate time?

Okay, it's a test.

I know you're testing what her business bottomline is.

But have you considered this?

If An Ning doesn't care about Tai's problems...

you can find an excuse to leave.

But if she does, then you've just gotten yourself in the middle of it.

Listen to me.

I've been with An Ning all these years, every step of the way.

She can be ruthless, but she's not dirty.

- If... I'm saying if she agreed-- - If she's in on it...

I'd still deal with it.

Sacrificing yourself to help others.

I know. You're determined to be some kind of anti-hero.

That's the universe's plan. There's nothing I can do but accept it.

You don't want to take revenge on Chang Jian Xiong?

Let me tell you something.

All the energy in the world follows the law of conservation.

One person's failure will see to another's success.

One paper made me lose my life. But it fulfilled Nan Qiao's dream.

So?

So I've spent all these years in a muddle.

A few more years won't hurt.

You and Chang Jian Xiong had many near run-ins with each other!

Come. Let me take you somewhere.

Change.

Remember this place?

I couldn't forget even if I wanted to.

We almost... would have never met.

If the cops hadn't rounded us all up, I thought I would have just died there.

And thus, I met the person who would change my life.

I don't know what kind of luck got me out of that detention center.

Do you really think everything is part of the universe's plan?

Your storytelling skills are amazing.

I've been trying to uncover what really happened back then.

Including the last seven years of Chang Jian Xiong's life.

If you won't look into it, I'm going to look into it for you.

Why is it him again? Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was afraid you'd give up. That you'd just swallow...

all the bitterness of the last decade on your own.

I don't want you to give up because of this incident.

If you want revenge... you have all my support.

And if I choose to let go?

I'll accompany you as you live another few decades in a muddle.

You checked multiple times but you still miscalculated.

Everything you did to use Nan Qiao was out of genuine feeling.

[Most Recent Calls]

What else did you find out?

The reason you were able to leave the detention center

was because Chang Jian Xiong paid a lot of money to the people you beat.

You can stop looking into Chang's Group.

- Because Chang Jian Xiong? - No, because of Nan Qiao.

Shi Yue is Shi Jun Qing.

Shi Jun Qing...

It looks like An Ning doesn't even know Shi Yue had such a past.

[Officer Zhang, Narcotics Cop] Actually...

There's a reason Shi Jun Qing changed his name.

What's going on? Fix it!

He's actually one of our people.

You're saying...

he was an undercover cop?

Shi Jun Qing is the one who helped us crack down

An Ning's former husband's drug ring.

An Ning was clean.

After months of investigation...

we concluded that she wasn't involved in her husband's business.

Afterwards, Shi Jun Qing and An Ning left for the United States.

What about now? Is he still...

He hasn't been for a long time.

We intended to resume his status for him, but for some reason, he rejected it.

This is also the reason he changed his name.

It's working again.

No wonder he didn't want us old comrades to find out about everything he's done.

- You found him? - More accurately...

he's been finding me.

Tai, Chang Jian Xiong and Shi Yue have an interesting relationship.

Looks like we've played the cards right this time.

What?

My ledger!

Shi Yue, you bastard.

Come with me!

Out of the way!

Tai, what's gotten you all riled up?

Let's talk nicely.

Go and search! Break open all the drawers.

If I don't find my ledger, I'm going to burn this place down!

Let's go!

What do you think you're doing?

What are you doing?

What? You really enjoy being Shi Yue's lapdog.

What's it to you?

[Chang's Group]

Tai, there's no ledger, but I found this.

[Chang's Group]

Interesting. Things have gotten interesting.

Listen, invite our good friend, the esteemed Mr. Chang over.

If he doesn't believe me, do I take him by force?

Isn't he trying to throw that "Shi Yue is my brother" bullshit at us?

Just tell him I'm inviting him over

so he can see how I slowly torment Shi Yue.

Here.

Give your owner a call for me.

It won't be fun without him.

Chang Jian Xiong is such an idiot.

He thinks Shi Yue won't touch him if he doesn't touch Shi Yue.

Come on.

It's so dark, don't you know to turn on the light?

I forgot.

Thank you, Edison. Light is such a wonderful thing.

You only know to thank the inventor of light.

What about the person who turns it on?
