[City of Romance]

[Episode 10]

Hello?

Sweetie?

Dad.

What's wrong, my daughter?

It's nothing.

Maybe I'm just a bit worn out from the comic exchange conference lately.

Sweetie, you should rest if you're tired.

You're my precious only daughter.

I can't let you suffer.

If anything's wrong,

just tell your old man.

I'll rush to Man City immediately.

I'll be there to back you up.

You think you can back me up with your amateur moves?

I'm hanging up now.

Bai.

Xiaomiao.

What's wrong?

I...

I'm a bit tired.

It's nothing.

I can see you're not in a good mood today.

Is it because of Senior Su?

No.

Then what's wrong?

I always feel like something's bothering you.

If you're feeling down,

you should tell me.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be here if you need me.

This is for you.

It's so cute!

Do I look like it?

Flying Squirrel Princess.

Thank you.

[Episode 10: Hello, Black]

[College Manga Exchange Conference]

Is this the artwork you wanted to show me?

[Yu Shubo] [LOL] Do I look good?

[Yu Shubo] [LOL] Yes, very good.

[Yu Shubo] [LOL]

Let me introduce you.

This is Bai Xiaoduo, the Flying Squirrel.

Today's poster girl.

Xiaoduo, with you wearing this,

we'll definitely attract lots of people today.

I think the costume looks really good too.

Super cute.

Do you want one?

I'll hook you up with a set.

Stop talking nonsense.

I'm going to take this call.

Okay, no problem.

Senior Xiao Yang,

the print shop just called to say

the pull-up banner has been delivered to the door.

-Could you help me... -Let's go.

Right now.

I can't wait another second.

Let's go and take a look.

Since we're already here.

Many of

these Hanfu combinations are wrong.

Do you even know anything about Hanfu?

Don't speak nonsense if you don't know.

If you're not buying anything, go away.

What kind of attitude is that?

Tell me, what style is that one?

Tell me!

Wei-Jin style!

Wei-Jin style?

The Wei-Jin style has long since been rejected by the Hanfu community.

You meant the Jin's style, right?

Yes, what's wrong with Jin's style?

But if it's Jin's style,

why is there no waist panel?

The sleeve pattern is wrong too.

And the most ridiculous thing is,

you've paired it with a wide-sleeved Song dynasty beizi.

At best, this could only be considered a historical costume.

Hanfu can be a commodity.

But Hanfu culture is not.

Instead of playing games when you get home,

you should spend more time studying about this.

Consider this lesson free of charge today.

Xiaomiao.

Let's go.

Also,

be a little nicer next time.

Okay, okay, okay.

[Chengyu Light Industry University]

That really scared me.

Xiaomiao.

How did I do just now?

Really great!

Senior,

I didn't expect you to know so much about Hanfu culture too.

Not so much.

[The portrait stone of Wuliang Temple; Eastern Han Dynasty]

[Wei-Jin Dynasty Clothing]

I only know a little about it.

So, Xiaomiao,

why do you like Hanfu?

Because when I was little,

I really loved watching period dramas

and found the costumes in them were all beautiful.

Later, I happened to learn about Hanfu

and realized how much knowledge and culture are involved.

It made me proud that our ancestors

created such a rich culture.

Indeed.

Good culture should be passed down.

Then, Senior, why do you like it?

Because...

I like...

Excuse me,

could you please tell me

where the MCUSOM's exhibition booth is?

It's right over there.

Okay, thank you.

Remember to vote for our school.

Okay.

Come quickly, Black's latest draft is here!

First come, first served!

Why are there so many people?

Let's go take a look!

They seem to be still talking about Black.

Xue City University.

Over there, over there!

Let's go take a look too.

Let's go.

Hurry up!

Black's latest draft!

-I want one too! -I want one too!

Don't push, everyone. There's enough for you all!

Give me one!

I want one too!

Don't push! Don't push!

Mr.

What are you doing? This is mine.

Go line up yourself!

Excuse me.

This is amazing.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, let me through.

Miss, you need to vote for us

to take this painting.

Impossible. This can't be.

Do you want it or not?

There are so many people still waiting in line.

This isn't drawn by Black.

What proof do you have

that Black didn't draw this?

This is fake.

If it's fake...

Su Yancheng.

On what grounds are you saying this is fake?

Take a look.

The latest developed technology.

[It was only then that Goode reacted and quickly ran backward.] [Owl No. 1, hurt by Goode's scratch, let out a screech and lunged at her.]

No way.

It can't be.

It's fake.

It's not fake, is it?

Black's latest draft!

Everyone, please line up!

Those who have voted can come and get one!

Su Yancheng!

Su Yancheng!

I want one!

Do you need something?

Where did you get Black's draft?

What do you mean, "Where did I get it?"

It was mine to begin with.

Yours?

Are you Black?

Why should I tell you?

It's none of your business.

That is mine!

Yours?

Yours? Who are you?

Are you Black yourself?

Get lost.

I threw that in the trash.

You're saying that you threw a perfectly good Black's draft in the trash?

Who would have believed it?

Take it down.

I'll only say this once.

Take it down.

Who are you trying to scare?

Even if I found it,

what could you do to me?

[College Manga Exchange Conference]

[Nice to Meet You]

Senior!

Senior.

Are you alright?

Let me take you to the infirmary. Let's go.

Xiaoduo.

Why are you here?

Is your eye okay?

It's fine.

You heard everything just now, didn't you?

I'm just a bit confused right now.

Why did you throw away that draft?

Why was it claimed to be a fake drawing in the folder?

And why did the fake drawing end up in Tian Chuan's hands?

Tian Chuan?

You know Tian Chuan?

He's a notorious bully in Rao City.

Rao City isn't that big.

The pressing matter now is that fake painting.

That wasn't drawn by human hands.

It's AI-generated artwork.

I believe an author

should treat their work

like their own child.

AI can replicate the form,

but it can never capture the soul of true art.

I know in my heart Black would never do something like this.

Perhaps people can change.

Yes, people do change.

Some people change for the better, others for the worse.

But Black never would!

You trust him that much?

I do trust him that much.

Even if everything else turns out to be fake,

I'll always choose to believe in him.

And I won't allow anyone to ruin him.

Who was that girl just now?

She spoke so righteously.

Even I, as Black's editor-in-chief,

was a bit moved.

Sis...

why are you here?

Why am I here?

Yu Shubo.

Since when did you become a thief, you little rascal?

[Xue City University] [Man City University]

There will be a way.

There will be a way.

I think

we should just charge right over

and grab all the paintings.

There are so many. How can we grab them all?

If you ask me,

we should just rush over and smash their booth.

Let's not do that.

I think it'd be good to talk to their president.

No, I think that's too irrational.

Why don't we secretly

steal it?

No need.

I've already reported it to the event organizers.

-That's my girl. -Well done.

This is about Black's reputation.

We must work together.

Where's Su Yancheng?

He's coming.

I think he should be here soon.

Over there, over there!

Let's go. Hurry up.

Come on, hurry!

Don't push! Don't push!

Give me one!

Hurry, hurry!

I want one too!

Hurry up!

Here he comes!

I want one!

-I want one too! -I want one too!

I want one too!

Don't push!

Give me one!

Bai, we don't find Su Yancheng here either.

Let's split up and look for him.

I'll go check over there again.

Okay, you go ahead.

Strange.

Senior Yu.

You... haven't applied medicine yet?

It's nothing, just a small injury.

It's quite fashionable.

Well, they...

call it

the battle damage makeup.

You should... work out more.

Xiaoduo.

Actually, there’s something I want to tell you

about Black.

♫The windless shore is too far away♫

Actually, I'm not...

I know.

♫Without you by my side, there is such emptiness♫ I know.

♫Without you by my side, there is such emptiness♫

May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen?

For this comic exchange conference,

we have invited a mystery guest

who will be meeting with you shortly!

Who is it?

He is Black!

Black!

Black!

Black, I love you!

Black!

Black, I love you!

If you do this,

I'll take responsibility.

I'm here today for a few matters.

I've started working on

Season 3

of "Mr. Owl and Miss Flying Squirrel."

There's one more thing

I'd like everyone to note.

Black's artwork from the Xue City Comic Club is fake.

The artwork is fake!

It was created by AI to mimic Black’s style.

Creating artwork without my permission

is an infringement of copyright.

Please return your paintings to the organizing committee.

The corresponding votes will also be voided.

Good!

Support!

I don't deny the value of AI.

AI can replicate our lines and lighting,

even our styles.

But it can't create on its own.

It can never replicate

the emotions and consciousness of the creators.

My previous works were

all based on my true feelings.

It's my personal persistence

and where I find joy.

I believe

that's also why you like Black.

I've always drawn by hand,

and I'll continue

to do so.

Great!

Yes! Yes!

Black said it very well.

AI can never replace Black.

Please continue to support him!

Now then,

we've prepared a little surprise for everyone,

and that is...

Black will personally choose

one lucky fan to join him on stage!

Pick me!

Pick me!

Here! Here!

Who will it be?

Who are you going to choose?

Pick me!

Here! Here!

Look at me! Look at me!

Hello!

That Flying Squirrel there.

Black has personally chosen that Flying Squirrel to come up for the interaction!

Miss Flying Squirrel, please come up on stage!

Me!

Me!

Bai Xiaoduo! Bai Xiaoduo!

He didn't pick me!

Great, it seems you two were meant to meet.

The Flying Squirrel and Owl have met here from afar.

So, may I ask Miss Flying Squirrel,

what wish would you like Owl to fulfill for you?

The microphone is yours.

Can I ask for anything?

Anything you want.

♫In that starry sky♫

♫Countless stars embrace one another♫

♫Countless stars embrace one another♫ I wish...

♫The unfinished dreams♫ I... I wish Black...

♫Are gently guarded by your gaze♫

would give me a hug!

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her! ♫The tiny me♫

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her! ♫Can I occupy your deep eyes?♫

♫Can I occupy your deep eyes?♫ Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her!

♫In this second♫ Hug her! Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her! Hug her! ♫I chase the heartbeat with all my might♫

♫I chase the heartbeat with all my might♫ Hug her! Hug her! Hug her!

♫I chase the heartbeat with all my might♫ Hug her! Hug her!

Hug her! Hug her!

♫At that alley corner♫

♫Countless memories swirl and surge♫

♫On the unfinished path♫

♫I'm escorted by your loving shadow♫

♫The lonely me♫

♫Can I walk into your future dreams?♫

♫At this moment♫

♫I long for the union of our hearts♫

♫When I stand behind you♫

♫It's as if I have the whole universe♫

♫It's as if I have the whole universe♫ I like you.

♫I reflect your light♫

♫Your smile awakens the dormant longing in my heart♫

We're all packing up stuff.

They're packing up stuff,

and we're packing up stuff too.

The difference is that once we're done moving,

we have to bring everything back tomorrow.

What? You want to end up like Xue City University?

What happened to Xue City University?

You don't know?

The organizing committee has just announced

that all of Xue City University's votes have been nullified,

and their exhibition booth has been canceled.

Nice.

I knew it.

The organizers wouldn't let the one

get away with these shady tricks.

Alright, alright.

Hurry up and bring that box over here.

So much talk.

Where's Xiaoduo?

Why isn't she back yet?

Bet she's somewhere still reliving the time of her life.

Here!

You guys from MCUSOM really have your ways.

Don't touch me!

You think I wouldn't recognize you just because

you grew out your hair and dyed it?

Bai Xiaoduo.

Still pretending not to know me?

Don't touch me!

You don't understand what I'm saying, huh?

Don't touch me!

Still trying to run away?

Look at me!

Look at me!

Don't touch me!

Who is it?

Me.

Who?

Your comics mean the world to me.

I can practically recite

every single chapter of your comics by heart.

I'm sorry.

In every moment when I felt

helpless, sad,

and didn't know what to do,

this comic was always

there for me, giving me encouragement

and strength to carry on.

[Calm down first] Calm down first.

Actually, I went to your

book signing event in Rao City before.

You [You]

[Went to] went to my signing event?

went to my signing event? [My signing event?]

You probably wouldn't remember.

I remember, at that time,

I ran and ran for a full six kilometers.

I was quite a mess at that time.

Then did you see me?

[See me?]

[Mr. Owl and Miss Flying Squirrel Book Signing Event]

[Mr. Owl and Miss Flying Squirrel Book Signing Event] Hello, is the book signing event over?

It ended hours ago.

It's getting dark.

You should head home now.

[Mr. Owl and Miss Flying Squirrel]

[Don't be afraid. Try to become the best version of yourself. One day, someone who understands you will appear.]

[Mr. Owl and Miss Flying Squirrel]

But...

I remember there was someone wearing

an owl costume just like yours

who came and signed for me.

Was that...

was that you?

[I don't remember] I don't remember.

[I don't remember]

I'm sorry. I'm too excited.

But it's okay.

That time...

will forever be

the most beautiful moment in my life.

[I hope today can become a beautiful memory for you]

[I hope today can become a new beautiful memory for you]

[I hope today can become a beautiful memory for you]

[I hope today can become a beautiful memory for you]

This...

Why is there a mole on your hand?

[I hope today can become a beautiful memory for you]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I, I was a bit carried away just now.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I saw him! I saw him!

Everyone, I saw him!

What now?

Calm down first.

Who did you see?

Xiaomiao,

I saw Black.

I saw Black in person.

Is it really worth getting this excited?

We've all seen him already.

It's different.

So you saw what he looks like?

No, I didn't.

But...

I'll tell you the details later.

I'm just so happy.

You're back.

Where were you all afternoon?

Get to work quickly.

I'll tell you later.

We'll talk in a bit. Let's pack up first.

I'm so excited.

Let me tell you.

When I saw him today...

Give me that.

Xiaomiao!

Put that box down.

Let me do it.

You simp!

Y-You'd rather be a, be a simp

than h-help us.

Wow.

Uh.

No one's helping me carry the box.

So we're the only single ones here.

Everyone else is beyond us in the romance department, right?

You're a darn single man.

Why did you do that?

Hit me again?

You want to hit me?

Why are you two getting into a fight?

Let go of me!

Let go!

Let go of me!
