Jin!
You're finally back.
I missed you so much.
Be careful.
How's your leg?
Any better?
Much better.
Sit.
Come.
Jin.
I was about to text you
about Ms. Shen.
What happened?
Her ex-husband
made a scene at Bei'ao Motors
to fight over child custody.
It was really embarrassing.
Some higher-ups
were unhappy with her,
so they used this chance to replace her.
Ms. Shen was the most professional
and efficient client
I've worked with.
Now that she's gone,
I'm afraid
our work with Bei'ao
won't run as smoothly.
It's not her fault though.
Tell me about it.
It's her private matter.
Let's not discuss it.
Let's get back to work.
Alright.
Okay.
For the details,
follow what we discussed just now.
Any comments?
- No.
- No.
Good.
Jin, your food just arrived.
I left it on your desk.
Jin,
that's not cool.
How could you order takeout
without telling us?
We're all starving during a brainstorm,
yet you order takeout for yourself.
I didn't order anything.
What? I didn't.
You must give everyone here a share.
There's even soup.
It smells so good, Jin.
This doesn't look like takeout.
My family sent this over.
Your family is so nice.
My parents can't look like this.
Jin.
Can I try
a piece of that meat?
Go ahead.
Good, right?
This is really good.
Your family is amazing.
I'll pass your praise
along to him.
Thank you.
(Has the food gone cold?)
(No.)
(It's still hot.)
(Your leg isn't fully healed.)
(You need good nutrition.)
(Eat the food I prepared for now.)
(Thank you.)
(Thanks to you,)
(I'm having a great lunch)
(and my colleague
gets to taste such good food.)
(Don't forget to bring)
(the lunchbox and utensils along
when you go home.)
(Okay.)

Li Wu,
this data set is fine.
You can archive it.
What?
Are you interested in
our astronomy club?
Astronomy club?
We just started it.
This is our first event.
Can non-members join?
Of course.
Mr. Shen,
what do we need to prepare
or pay attention to
for events like this?
Li Wu, I'm off to work.
Wait, Sister.
Wait a second.
I have class today,
so I can't cook right now.
But I've made something for you.
Heat it up at noon.
Thank you.
Li Wu,
don't cook for me anymore.
Why?
You've been putting
all your focus on me.
You're a student,
not a cook.
You should spend more time
on your studies.
But it didn't affect my studies.
You're working on a research project,
aren't you?
Plus your classes
and your part-time job.
Your days are already packed,
and you still cook for me every day.
I'm really happy and grateful,
but I don't want you to
wear yourself out.
I know
you won't be at ease
unless I'm fully recovered,
but I'm completely fine now.
Don't worry.
You can move back to the dorm.
Who asked me to treat him like a man?
I'm off.
Sister.
Let's go on a date.
A date?
I'm going back to the dorm,
but keep your weekend free
for me.
Let's go on a date.
Are you trying to negotiate with me?
Yes?
Where are we going?
I'm picky.
There's a stargazing camping event.
I signed up for it.
But I want to go with you.
You ask me only after you signed up?
Fine.
I'll take it as getting some fresh air.
Okay. You don't need
to worry about anything.
I'll plan the whole thing.
Then, I'll leave it to you.
I'm heading out, young man.
I think
we should stick to the original plan.
You two are so busy.
One disappears after class,
the other ignores me completely.
Why is it so hard
to have a meal with you two?
It took me a very long time
to get a seat at this restaurant.
Now it's the perfect time to go.
(Are you going home today?
What time are we leaving tomorrow?)
I haven't finished my work.
Are you coming?
I'm not eating with you guys.
I have plans.
(Environmental Protection
Research Institute)
What's going on?
Let's go.
You're treating.
(Are you off work?)
(I'm at)
(Sister)
We're signing documents.
A lot of hassle, right?
No problem, Boss.
Can we apply to hire one more person
next quarter
for our department?
Alright.
I'll think about it.
Thank you, Boss.
You are?
This is my brother.
Li Wu.
Let go.
My ankle hurts.
Let go.
What's wrong with you?
Sister, do you like him?
Then what am I?
What are you on about?
That man.
I've never seen you
so close
to any other man.
He's my boss.
You were really rude just now,
you know?
And he
Anyway, I could never like him,
and he wouldn't like me either.
You don't believe me?
Should I call him right now
and check with him?
You don't even know the full story,
and you're already acting impulsive.
Don't you think you're being childish?
And why are you
questioning me like this?
Are we even together?
Forget it.
I'm tired.
You go home first.

What was that?
I can't wait any longer.
I should've kissed you long ago.
I should've kissed you that night.
No matter what it will be,
I should've done it.
I like you.
♪So jumpy♪
No matter when,
I'll only like you.
I can't stand
only looking at you
from a distance every day.
I know you might not like me.
Whether you like me or not,
maybe you won't want to see me again.
But I'll always

Are you ready to continue this with me?
If not,
you can stop anytime.
You're not going back to your dorm?
It's already 12 PM.
Are you asking me to leave again?
No.
I'm worried your dorm
will check attendance.
Today's Friday.
Right.
Just now
Li Wu.
Let's date.
What?
We already kissed.
Well
Just because we kissed?
No.
I admit
I acted on impulse
when you confessed.
But I want to tell you.
My feelings for you
aren't impulsive.
Since we've taken that step
I want to give it a try.
Wu Fu and I
had been together since college.
From dating to marriage,
everything went smoothly.
I always thought
that was the peaceful life I wanted.
But after we divorced,
my world
collapsed in an instant.
I started doubting myself.
I really thought
I would never believe in love again.
Until you
dropped into my life
like a bomb.
You lit up my world again.
I
I
I haven't been this happy
in so long.
I don't want to lie to myself anymore.
Li Wu.
Will you give it a try with me?
As boyfriend and girlfriend?
I will.
I can finally hold you
like this, Sister.
I
I've waited so long
for this day.
Why are you looking at me?
You look really good from this angle.
How come I'm only realizing now
how handsome
and cute you are?
(Brother)
(Sticky on Top)
(Brother: Asleep?)
(Asleep?)
(Yeah.)
(Starting today,)
(I'm your boyfriend, right?)
(Not just a boyfriend.)
(Then what?)
(You're also a fool.)
(I can't sleep. What do I do?)
(Just lie there.)
(I miss you.)
(Are we even ten meters apart?)
(Seriously?)
(Yeah.)
(Can you come out?)
Did you teleport here?
Do you have some superpower
you're hiding from me?
Why did you call me out?
I want to hug you a bit longer.
Aren't we going camping tomorrow?
Go to sleep now.
I can't sleep.
Didn't you say just hug for a bit?
No.
Go to bed now.
Silly boy.

What's going on?
You looked miserable not long ago.
Did Ms. Cen Jin say yes?
Attaboy!
When did this happen?
You didn't tell me.
Are we still good friends?
Last night.
I didn't get the chance to tell you yet.
Last night?
You were fast.
Cheng Rui,
don't be nosy.
Get back to work.
Aren't you listening in on us too?
Uncle,
Li Wu is dating now.
When are you finding me an aunt?
Have I been
too kind to you lately?
I'm going over there to help out.
Go ahead.
All he cares about
is his girlfriend now.
Here.
Get to work.
Let me help you.
What are you laughing at?
Firefly!
Li Wu, come here and look.
Fireflies prefer
damp places.
There should be more near the stream.
Forget it. I don't want to
step into the water.
Table for one?
I'm meeting someone.
Please come in.
I'll have a latte.
I'm here.
Okay.
Thanks.
Jun.
You're early.
I happened to have something nearby,
so I came over right after.
How are you?
Is your leg better?
I'm fine.
It's almost healed.
I'm really sorry.
Things were
a mess before,
so I didn't get to reply
to your messages.
It's okay.
How about you?
Is everything alright?
I left Bei'ao Motors.
You heard that, right?
Yeah, I did.
Honestly, after I resigned,
very few people cared about
how I was doing
or what I'm up to now.
So thank you for asking.
Jun, don't say that.
AusStar was able to
work with Bei'ao Motors
long-term, and it's all thanks to you.
I always felt
we worked
really well together.
I really hoped
we could keep working together.
What are your plans now?
Is there anything
I can help with?
I also feel
we cooperate really well.
You know
I worked at Bei'ao Motors
for many years.
My position kept getting higher,
but
The work
felt more and more restrictive.
Even though I was the project manager
for many things,
the real power
was always with the higher-ups.
Some projects
had great ideas
and creativity,
but if a senior executive
suddenly didn't like it,
the whole project would
Thanks.
The whole project would
just get banned.
So I felt
I really
didn't want to
just be an executor anymore.
Bei'ao couldn't give me
the space or freedom I wanted.
Since the chance came up,
I just left.
So,
I'm now
starting my own business.
So you'd already planned this.
I really admire
your courage.
But the freedom
isn't free.
Since I made this choice,
there's no turning back.
I can only work hard.
How about you?
How are things?
Nothing special.
I got a new person to deal with,
so everything
has to start from scratch.
I'll take some time.
Honestly,
I think you should switch
to a company
with more freedom and room to grow.
I appreciate that, Jun.
But I don't have
your resolve yet.
What if I told you
my company needs you?
Would you be willing to help me?
I know it sounds sudden.
To be frank,
that's why
I asked you out today.
I can't hire
my old colleagues
from Bei'ao.
And I was doing marketing
back then.
I'm not strong
in content.
But the real problem now
is that
I have many clients in talks,
but without
a good creative director,
none of the projects
can move forward.
I thought about it over and over.
Among all the people I've worked with
who have strong skills
and good character,
you're the only one.
So, will you think about it?
It's alright.
You don't have to
give me an answer now.
Alright?
Well,
you have
your own concerns,
and I understand that.
After all,
every work needs
the right platform.
With the right platform, you can grow.
Just let me know when you've decided.
Anyway, my company
will always be open for you.
The only thing
I can promise is
that as long as you join me,
I'll give you
the most freedom
and decision-making power.
Alright?
Were you waiting outside the whole time?
Aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke?
It's not hot.
Get in.
Look at you.
Do I get darker?
You look even more handsome.
You grab every chance to kiss me, huh?
You started it first.
Thank you.
Let's see what to eat.
I want this one,
this one,
and this one.
What about you?
Anything is fine.
Today's on me.
Sure.
That's enough.
What do you like to drink?
I want soda.
Okay.
Sprite.
Sure.
Okay.
One second.
Excuse me.
Two Sprites.
Menu.
Thank you.
Your Sprite.
Are you hungry?
No.
No?
Fine.
Then I'll eat everything myself.
You won't get a single bite.
You can just watch.
Sure.
Li Wu,
when you were little,
did you ever think
you'd date an older lady?
Before I liked you,
I never thought about anything.
Then why do you like me?
Answer it properly.
Why do you like me?
Because I'm pretty?
My girlfriend
is very pretty.
Thanks.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
Here.
A reward for you.
