Write your name here.
Yes.
Hello, everyone.
This is Li Wu.
I am his parent.
Hello.
My name is Xu Shuo,
from Suzhou.
Hello, Li Wu.
Hello.
My name is Zhong Wenxuan.
Hello.
Li Wu.
Let's start tidying up.
Sister, sit for a moment.
I'll finish tidying soon.
Your younger brother
is so self-sufficient.
How did you teach him?
I didn't teach him.
At home,
he always tidies up by himself.
No need to supervise
his studies much.
He's very sensible.
This young man is really great.
Where's Cheng Rui?
Didn't you say
he's in the same room as you?
(Cheng Rui: Wen's parents are looking for me.
I'll be late. Wait for me to eat.)
He'll come later.
You two
really have a connection.
Going to the same university.
It's a pity not in the same major.
Yes.

Li Wu.
A new crossroads.
This time I won't guide you.
Just run freely.
Thank you, Sister.
Besides thank you,
can't you say something else?
I can.
I will become independent
as soon as possible.
Do you know a new restaurant has opened
over at school?
Many classmates went there.
Let's try it too.
Where?
Cross this bridge.
Very close.
Senior students from our faculty
also recommended this place.
You know about it too?
We can go together.
Sister.
Why are you here?
Happy Birthday.
Thank you, Sister.
Why are you still so busy
during the New Year holiday?
The school has a new project.
The teacher took me along.
What about Cheng Rui?
I messaged him on WeChat.
He said his gift was already
given to you in advance.
So he won't celebrate with us.
He went to Yan City for New Year's.
What's he going to do there?
Internship?
Sort of.
And you?
Any extracurricular activities?
I
I signed up
for a bridge club.
Bridge club?
With your mental age,
it wouldn't make sense
if you're under forty.
No.
Face looks twenty,
and heart is forty.
Isn't that perfect?
Balances it out.
Equals thirty.
Alright.
Then I wish you
a Happy 30th birthday.
Thank you.
Set up a memorial installation
to enhance visual interaction,
and self-exploration.
Our biggest idea this time
is actually to use acrylic material,
to make
a huge contact lens art installation.
And we also set up
an interactive experience area,
using virtual reality technology
Take a seat first.
I think this idea
is pretty good.
But it might be hard to implement.
Ted, it's like this.
We did research,
collected data,
and fully analyzed
user profiles.
And in fact,
our target audience
is even more
into this kind
of exhibition than we expected.
I know.
I said it.
Your creativity is great.
But no matter how good the idea,
the client has to pay for it.
Yes, but
Alright, Ted.
Let's think again
if there's a more practical approach
or a better idea.
Okay.
That's it for today.
Thanks, everyone.
Meeting adjourned.
Alright.
Don't all of you
make this face.
It's not like your proposals
haven't been rejected before.
Alright.
Let's eat first.
Relax a bit.
There will definitely
be an optimal solution.
Rejected every day.
Why are you back?
Tomorrow, I have a part-time job
at the milk tea shop.
It's more convenient to go from home.
How long are you planning
to keep this part-time job?
Going back and forth constantly,
can you manage schoolwork?
It's going quite well here.
And I can keep up
with school courses.
It's just that the school is far
from the milk tea shop.
So, if I do part-time work
in the future,
I'll probably stay at home.
Alright.
As long as it doesn't affect studies.
I'll take out the trash.
Okay.
Sister.
Thank you.
Li Wu.
Come over.
Come on.
A little closer.
Li Wu.
Has anyone ever told you
that your eyes are beautiful?
Don't move.
Got it.
You really are
my muse of inspiration.
You really helped a lot.
(I have an idea.)
(One hour later,)
(I'll send the copy to the group.
Take a look.)
(Close your mouth.)
(Cover your ears.)
(Emotions will still show
through your eyes.)
(Lu Tong: This is not bad.
I have a visual.)
(Li Fei: Replace emotion with love.)
(How is it?)
(It feels more tangible.)
Sister.
Sister.
Alright.
You're getting more skilled now.
Thank you.
I'll go park in the basement.
Do you want to have lunch together?
I have a video meeting at noon.
Probably won't make it.
You eat first, don't wait for me.
When you drive into the basement,
the entrance is a bit narrow.
Drive slowly.
Okay.
I'm leaving.
Li Wu, close the window.
The dust outside is blowing in.
Oh my.
(Cen Jin)
I
Came out to say.
(Cen Jin)
What are you doing with my photo?
Speak.
Sister.
I like you.
I've liked you for a long time.
No.
(Cen Jin)
Why not?
Because you can't like me.
Why can't I like you?
Do you even know what liking someone is?
Li Wu, you've never been
in a relationship.
You can't tell the difference
between liking and gratitude.
There're two completely
different feelings.
Right now you're
acting on impulse.
A sudden urge.
Let me make it clearer.
You and I
are sister and brother.
We're family,
not a romantic relationship.
You need to sort out your feelings.
Don't mix them up.
I'm already twenty-one.
I'm an adult.
I know exactly what liking means.
Twenty-one doesn't count as an adult.
I'm teaching you.
I don't need it.
Fine.
Then I won't accept it, okay?
What if I don't accept you?
Then I'll always like you.
I'll only like you in this lifetime.
I won't marry.
I won't find a girlfriend.
But I will definitely not bother you.
Ten years later,
you won't be saying this anymore.
How do you know I won't?
Because I'm almost
ten years older than you.
I know time
changes a person.
When you reach my age
and look back,
you'll realize these words
are just venting emotions,
showing your immaturity
and nothing else.
You're not me.
Why do you get to decide?
I'm not trying to decide for anyone.
But I won't give you
any answer you want.
I'm not asking you
to give me an answer now.
I just want to tell you
that I like you.
This is something in my heart.
Whether now
or ten years later,
it's the same.
How old will I be ten years later?
Do you think I'll always be thirty?
I'll grow up too.
I'll work hard to get stronger.
I will become someone you can rely on.
I'll study hard.
I'll find a
But I can't wait.
If you really
like me the way you say,
how could you let me wait for you?
Li Wu.
I picked you up from Yunfeng,
and brought you back to study,
because I want to help you,
but more, I want to help myself.
That period was very hard for me.
Your arrival
distracted me perfectly,
and became my spiritual support.
Helped me get through
that difficult time.
So you don't have
to be too touched.
This is also a step-by-step process
that led to today's result.
I believe over the past year,
I've been very measured with you.
If any of my actions
misled you,
I'm sorry.
So now you're
trying to distance yourself from me
Just because I said I like you?
Young age.
Ambitious.
I came to find you to figure things out,
not to add trouble.
Li Wu is young.
It's normal to like someone.
But that person can't be me.
Why can't it be you?
You're outstanding,
beautiful, wealthy,
and willing to spend on him.
If not you, who else would he like?
I like you too.
You haven't said a serious word.
He is still young.
How old is he?
He's already twenty-one.
Next year,
he'll reach the legal marriage age.
Then just think that way.
An adult man likes you.
If you like him too,
then be with him.
If not, just stay away.
Why worry?
He's not another man.
He is Li Wu.
You're just overthinking.
Of course, I care about him.
He's my brother.
Then you
think like that.
Maybe it's hormones.
In a couple of days,
he might meet
a pretty senior or cute junior
at school,
and change his mind.
Really handsome.
My aesthetics has
updated again.
I heard he's already
been working part-time
for over half a year.
Why didn't I notice before?
I deserve to be single.
We noticed too late.
I want to see him in person.
Right away.
Immediately.
Is he really this handsome?
Really handsome.
Don't you think so?
Exactly my type.
I just sent a message to the store owner
via WeChat.
Let's order some milk tea,
and have it delivered.
Good idea.
What are you laughing at?
Jin.
The handsome new staff
at the Meete Store downstairs.
How is he?
Handsome, right?
Is he really that handsome?
Are you guys serious?
Really handsome.
You're exaggerating too much.
We're ordering milk tea.
What do you want, Jin?
I don't want any.
On a diet.
Then we'll order.
What do you want to drink?
Enough.
Stop talking about milk tea.
Prepare it.
In ten minutes,
a meeting in the conference room.
- Okay.
- Okay.
He wouldn't deliver it
during the meeting, right?
It's fine.
The revised plan
Milk tea's here.
Next time
Just put it over there.
He is kind of handsome.
Send it to me later.
I really want his WeChat.
This one.
I'll ask him
for his contact info.
I can't wait.
Remember to push me.
So handsome.
Don't you think
he's no worse
than those advertising models?
I've met him.
I don't even want to work
with you guys anymore.
You're exaggerating too much.
Everyone's been working hard lately.
This time,
the plan of our offline event
for colored contact lenses
is basically finalized.
Everyone, keep up the good work.
Refine the execution details.
This is our first
major offline event this year.
We must look great on stage.
Go team!
- Okay.
- Okay, go.
Go, go!
Jin.
Jin.
The production company
sent over the newly made
promo video.
They're asking us
to give feedback quickly.
They have other work planned
for the next couple of days,
and they're worried
they won't have time for us.
Got it.
Let's review it together now.
Everyone,
meeting in five minutes.
Okay.
What's happening?
- Why is the power out?
- No way, what's going on?
Still power outages these days?
Go ask.
Okay.
The property said our floor
had a circuit problem.
They're contacting an electrician.
How long will it take?
Not sure.
We'll know when someone arrives.
Where's the boss?
Jin.
Are we still
having the meeting?
Of course.
Jin.
Or, shall we hold it
at the milk tea shop downstairs?
And so,
under the combined efforts
of my uncle and me,
Wen's parents finally understood
and reconciled with Wen.
They said
from now on, they will
respect her decision.
Wen is usually quite stubborn,
but she actually still
cares a lot about her parents.
When her parents
appeared at Yanbei University,
her eyes were swollen from crying.
That's pretty good.
Are you even listening to me?
I said Wen's eyes
were swollen from crying.
What's good about that?
I mean
It's good that she reconciled
with her parents.
Pretty good.
That's all thanks to me.
I've been the peacemaker
for over half a year.
What's up with you today?
You seem distracted.
Cen Jin is here.
Sit over here.
Let's push the tables together.
Why are you just standing there?
Help take the order.
The back hasn't been wiped yet.
Zeng.
Help take the order.
Hello.
What would you like to drink?
What do you want?
I'll have a Jasmine Milk Green Tea.
Me too.
When will this meeting be over?
I'll go.
He's coming.
I'll help you.
Thanks.
Handsome guy.
Do you remember me?
Yes.
Since you still remember me,
would you consider
giving me your WeChat?
Alright.
Stop teasing him.
Who's teasing him?
You're so handsome.
Are you interested
in getting into modeling?
I can help.
I can help too.
Yuan Zhen.
I'm not bad-looking either.
Take me along too.
Focus on finishing
your current work first.
My WeChat.
I
Why?
Afraid your crush will know
and be upset?
Then
If you decide, you can come to me again.
I'll go to the restroom.
He already has a crush.
Pick someone else.
So scary.
Even Cen Jin won't say a word for you.
(Come out for a sec.)
What's wrong?
Li Wu.
Quit this job.
Why?
Are you afraid I'll tell your colleagues
that the person I like is you?
Your school is more than
20 kilometers away.
Do you still want to study?
Is this really what you should be doing?
This is ridiculous.
I told you
I want to be independent.
And I only
spend one day a week
working here.
I've never
delayed my studies.
Now it's different.
What's different?
I'll transfer back the 100,000 yuan
to you now.
Focus on being a student,
and do what you're supposed to do.
You wanted to distance yourself from me.
Then why are you still bothering me?
Then don't keep hanging around
in front of me.
Fine.
Today, you messaged
and asked me to come,
so I came.
Next time, it won't be so easy.
Li Wu!
Slow down!
I'm almost out of breath!
Li Wu!
What you're doing is dangerous!
Stop for now!
Li Wu!
Be careful!
Li Wu!
What's wrong?
You're
not crying, right?
What exactly happened?
I messed up.
Messed up what?
I told her I like her.
She didn't even give me
the right to like her.
She doesn't want to see me anymore.
Alright.
If it really doesn't work,
would you like someone else instead?
I won't say anymore.
This color scheme is a bit strange.
Too saturated.
It looks a bit uncomfortable
on screen.
Okay.
Adjust it again.
Okay.
Jin, the products for display downstairs
have arrived.
You need to check them.
Okay, I'll go take a look.
Then keep an eye on it.
Don't use the green version.
Leave the empty spots
for the main color of this season.
Alright.
Li Wu.
It's been many days.
Talk to me more.
Wen is in Yan City now.
It's fine if she's slow to reply.
You're just sitting next to me,
but you don't talk to me much either.
Chun Chang.
Li Wu.
You really don't care about your sister.
What happened to her?
She fell down the stairs today.
You didn't know at all?
Where is she now?
She's at home.
I just picked her up from the hospital.
What's wrong?
Bring these things back for me.
And ask the school for two days off.
My sister is injured.
I need to check on her.
If you need help,
call me.
What are you doing?
I said don't tell him.
I'm alone.
I still have to go to the store later.
My mom is coming too.
You won't let me
tell your parents
What should I do?
Leave you here alone?
Besides, I'm not good
at taking care of people.
What if your old injury isn't healed
and I cause you other problems?
What to do?
I can hire a caregiver.
Hire a caregiver?
Doesn't that take time?
If you're unlucky
and find someone who abuses you,
what then?
Li Wu
is strong, healthy, and handsome.
He truly cares about you.
He's the best choice right now.
Our relationship has ended up like this.
How can I ask him to take care of me?
He really doesn't mind at all.
Just now, on the phone,
he was already on his way back
before it was even finished.
You're really something.
I know I am.
I warn you, treat me well.
Before he comes,
I'm the only one
who can take care of you.
Want some water?
I'm hungry. I want to eat.
Alright, my young lady.
Why are you standing there?
Li Wu is here.
Tell him to go back to school.
I want to sleep.
Does it hurt?
Minor injury.
It doesn't hurt.
Jin.
I have things at the store.
I'll go first.
I'll come tomorrow.
Li Wu, take care of your sister.
Okay.
(You just leave me here alone?)
(What's inconvenient)
(about your own younger brother?)
(Don't worry.)
(I'll come back after I'm done.)
(I'll leave it to your brother
to take care of you for a while.)
You ran over
What about school?
Cheng Rui already asked
for leave for me.
Is it serious?
Just a bone fracture.
I will be fine in a few weeks.
This leg of mine
is fine now.
Don't move around.
If it shifts again, it'll be trouble.
What are you doing?
Raise the leg a bit.
It helps blood circulation,
and can prevent swelling.
How do you know so much?
I took care of my grandfather
for many years,
so I have more experience.
Especially
for cases like this,
where they can't walk.
I'm not paralyzed.
I know.
Are you going to stand by my bed
all the time?
Do you want some water?
No.
Then,
is there anything you want to eat?
I just ate.
Alright then
Just rest more.
