[City of Romance]

[Episode 12]

I've read the first-stage investigation and research report.

It's quite good.

So what do you plan to do next?

Yu Shubo, you go first.

I heard

you've been going full steam ahead with your club activities.

You've put all your attention elsewhere,

neglecting your main work.

Well...

no, sir. We'll get right on it.

Professor,

we've indeed formulated our

next research direction.

We'll conduct experiments focused on individuals.

Tell me more.

It's like this.

Based on the results of the last report,

we'll rule out the commonality of lying

under special circumstances.

Next,

we'll focus on those individuals standing out in the report

and conduct targeted experiments.

Yu Shubo, what's your opinion?

Well...

I agree to try his approach,

but I don't think it'll work perfectly.

Because there are still flaws in his experimental direction.

An individual can't represent the whole group.

So, we need at least

three experimental subjects, or more.

I want to see your results as soon as possible.

Go.

Thank you for what you did just now.

What do you plan to do?

You spoke so confidently in front of the professor.

Are you really going to do an analysis of individual experiments?

This time, I plan to

conduct a detailed data analysis again

focusing on the pulse, heartbeat, muscle tension,

sweat, and other reactions of the experimental subjects.

Also, during the communication process,

you need to emphasize the consistently accurate conclusions of the lie detector.

This will

serve as a deterrent and psychological suggestion to the subjects.

Eliminate the subjects' false sense of luck.

Have you selected your experimental subject?

Bai Xiaoduo.

That's too subjective.

When selecting subjects, it is essential to set aside subjective biases

and choose individuals in an unbiased manner.

Do you have a better candidate?

[Behavior Analysis Area]

[Behavior Analysis Area] No.

[Behavior Analysis Area]

[Behavior Analysis Area] Select her then.

Alright,

Remember to wrap it up. I'm leaving first.

I'm off.

[Data Analysis Area]

Hi.

[Psychological Research Laboratory]

[Experimental Equipment Room] Chairman Yu.

[Experimental Equipment Room]

[Psychological Research Laboratory]

[Psychological Research Laboratory] Don't call me that.

[Psychological Research Laboratory] I'm not the chairman yet.

[Experimental Equipment Room]

[Experimental Equipment Room] Okay.

[Experimental Equipment Room]

[Experimental Equipment Room] Yu Shubo.

How was it abroad?

Pretty good.

It's just that...

I missed everyone very much.

So I came back right after the exchange ended.

If you have time...

I'm sorry, I...

think I have something else to do.

I should get going.

Okay.

We'll talk when you're free.

[Episode 12: The Story Between Her and Him]

[Su Yancheng]

[Su Yancheng] Come to the lab for the experiment tomorrow.

What's wrong with this man?

He wouldn't even say "please" when asking for help.

What are the boys nowadays thinking about?

Yeah.

What exactly is on their minds?

Xiaomiao, what's wrong?

Bai,

tell me,

what does it feel like to like someone?

If you like someone...

of course you want to hold him in your hands.

I'm talking about a person.

Yeah, I know.

Blake is a person.

So would your heart race because of Blake?

Of course.

That day at the exchange conference,

my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

But truly liking someone

shouldn't just be about happiness, right?

You might also suddenly

overthink

and feel troubled because of him.

Yes, that's exactly the feeling.

Instead of tormenting yourself,

why don't you just ask him directly?

Stop thinking about it. Go to bed early.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Good night.

Quite skilful.

I'm going to ask you a few questions next.

Can I ask you a few questions first?

Go ahead.

Why didn't you find someone else for this experiment?

No one else meets the criteria.

Am I the only one who meets the criteria?

So... I'm the only one who can do this experiment?

Okay.

Are you done asking?

Yes.

Can we start now?

Yes.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Very beautiful.

Consider the following questions

from the you in the mirror.

Try to have a conversation with her.

Do you have any worries lately?

No,

everything's fine.

Have you thought about making some changes?

I... want to become a better version of myself.

What are the differences between

the current you and the past you?

Now I

have become braver

and more confident.

And I no longer run away from difficulties.

Even though sometimes I get a little troubled,

I feel at ease knowing I have friends

by my side.

You've finished asking?

How did it go?

It's a secret.

I'll tell you after I finish writing the report.

I'm your only experimental subject.

You should treat me better.

Thank me.

Thank you.

That's perfunctory.

Help me up.

Alright.

Since it's done,

I should get going. Bye bye.

Did I... come at the wrong time?

[Library]

[Honorary Certificate]

[Chunchao Publishing House]

I've been having some inspiration these days.

So I want to show you first.

You didn't know what to draw before.

How did you suddenly get this inspiration?

Are you in love?

Just tell me if I'm on the right track.

There's indeed an improvement.

The general direction is fine,

but...

we can't let you use trial and error forever.

So, we can only give you two weeks.

Such a short time?

With your ability, that's already plenty.

Su,

actually,

I've always thought what you lack is not skills,

but experience.

If you had listened to me earlier

and had a proper relationship,

you might have found inspiration long ago.

We'll see.

Your attitude has changed.

Looks like

you really are in love with a girl.

Ms. Yu,

I think you're the one who should be in a relationship.

You should never

say that to just any woman.

Why?

Because it's very sarcastic.

I simply hope you can be in a relationship.

You are still so inexperienced.

It better be.

I'm leaving.

Keep the manuscripts.

After I go back, I'll finish drawing as soon as possible.

They need to be completed within two weeks!

Senior Yu!

Senior Yu.

This is for you.

If you use this, it won't leave a scar.

It's a bruise.

Using this can help the bruise heal faster.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How's it going with your poster?

I've handed it over to Su Yancheng.

He agreed?

Yes.

That guy...

It took quite some effort.

I understand.

I understand.

No class today?

Class is over.

I befriended you in the name of Blake.

I thought it was a white lie.

I'm sorry, Xiaoduo.

I was too selfish.

There's nothing to apologize for.

I'm the one who should apologize.

I mistook you for Blake,

and it troubled you.

So, we're still friends, right?

Of course.

We'll be good friends for life.

Right, Senior,

the comic club is planning a team-building event.

We'll go to an escape room.

Would you like to join us?

Okay.

[Comic Club]

What are you looking for?

0.2.

It's quite well drawn.

The ink is here.

I'm wiping the table.

I can't believe you.

Debris is all over the table.

Su Yancheng,

why has your drawing style become so cute?

It wasn't like this before.

I've always had many different styles.

That's too different.

That's too different.

It... It's fake. It doesn't need watering.

Well...

Um... fake plants have life too.

Just trace it according to this feel,

and then color it.

No problem.

They're quite in sync.

Feet.

The right foot.

The rear.

I'm exhausted.

It's mealtime.

How about...

buying some food?

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Then...

I'm going to buy some food.

Forget it, I'll go.

You sit here.

I'll go. I'll go.

You both are busy.

I'll go.

It's good to be busy.

I'm free. I'll go.

I'm free. I'll go. [Comic Club]

[Comic Club]

When do you plan to tell Bai Xiaoduo?

Tell her what?

Still playing dumb, huh?

Su Yancheng.

I didn't expect this.

You didn't ask me to delete it.

So I assume

this photo might still be useful.

I don't want to get involved,

but it's up to you whether you appreciate it or not.

Send it to me and then delete it.

I've been helping keep your identity a secret.

Don't you think you should repay me?

How should I repay you?

For example,

help me pursue Yu Shubo.

It depends.

Eat. Eat yourself to death.

Why hasn't Xiaoduo come back after so long?

Could it be she's angry because you bossed her around?

She's not that petty.

Actually, I'm quite curious.

Why did you choose her as the vice president?

If it weren't for her efforts,

the comic club would have been disbanded long ago.

She has the capability

to be a good vice president.

At least you have some conscience.

I'm back, friends.

See what you'd like to eat.

Thanks. Let me see.

Here, I bought a lot.

Potato chips.

I like this.

There are other flavors.

I like this too.

I can't take this one. Su Yancheng likes this.

What exactly do you want?

Drink more if you like it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

No big deal.

Alright, you guys hurry up and draw.

After you finish,

I'll take you out for something delicious.

Sounds great.

How much more time do you still need?

I'm almost done.

Don't be angry.

It's okay.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm almost done too.

You're not done yet?

Almost. Just wrapping it up.

Do you want to go eat together?

We're going to eat.

Okay.

Well...

I just remembered

I have something to take care of.

You guys go.

It's okay. We'll wait for you.

You can continue after eating.

No need.

I've been drawing posters for the student council all afternoon.

I'm starving.

Okay.

Let's go.

You're so reluctant. Come on, let's go.

[Management system of the student council]

I'm hungry. Let's order something.

Right, Yu Shubo, you don't eat eggplants, right?

Su Yancheng, you don't eat green peppers, right?

I don't eat cilantro.

We're all old classmates.

Well... have some water.

Give it to me.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'll do it myself.

You think you're a server?

You're still the same as before.

You always want to take good care of everyone.

Has he always been like this?

Him?

I remember in our freshman year,

a girl confessed to him on Women's Day.

The next day,

the whole school knew they were dating.

But he just wouldn't admit it.

Later, we found out

he organized all the boys in the class

to prepare gifts for the girls.

It led to a misunderstanding.

When others asked why he didn't just refuse her,

guess what he said.

What did he say?

"I... I was worried being too direct would hurt her feelings."

"I haven't figured out how to say it yet."

But Senior Yu,

well done.

He hasn't changed much these years.

He's still the same.

Well...

I...

I'm going to the bathroom. Order whatever you like.

Order whatever you like.

I'm going to the bathroom too.

Then I'll order.

What are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

The dishes have been served. Let's go inside.

It seems you've been avoiding me.

Do you think

I still have feelings for you?

No.

Well, you're right about that.

Yu Chi, I thought my attitude was clear enough.

And I've made it clear to you.

You're worried about causing trouble for others.

You don't want others to be sad or disappointed.

So you never easily refuse anyone.

But why do you always refuse me?

I've told you before.

We can only be friends.

Yu Shubo,

do you dare to admit

that in your heart,

I'm different from others?

Yu Chi,

I didn't handle it well two years ago.

I spoke too harshly.

I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry, Yu Chi.

Okay.

I forgive you.

Saying sorry is not enough.

You have to treat me to a meal.

Isn't that what I'm doing right now?

Today's meal is for helping you with the posters.

Why do I have a bad feeling again?

Earlier, that guy

hit me in the chest with a net interception.

It hurts like hell.

How are you feeling? Are you okay?

Not okay.

Next time, give him an overhead smash.

He definitely won't be able to return it.

That's too much.

Lin Xiaomiao?

Hello.

Xiaomiao.

Let's go then.

Let's not be the third wheel here. Let's go.

Bye bye.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Senior.

What kind of person...

do you think I am?

I...

I think...

I think you are a gentle person,

but with a strong and brave heart.

You're also very strong-minded

and persistent in the things you like.

There's often an urge

to want to protect you.

There's no such perfect person.
