Boss & Me (2014) s01e21 Episode Script
Episode 21

Lishu.
Look, whether you get together
with Feng Teng or not,
you're trying to manage this relationship.
In this procedure,
you become more beautiful, elegant,
decent, and gorgeous.
That's enough.
But I don't think
I seem that elegant and mature
judging from what I did to Shanshan.
You haven't reached the age
of elegance and maturity.
Let's go play.
Let's go.
Don't run so fast.
Don't bully kids.
Zheng Qi.
Where are we going?
Let's have something to eat.
I'm really hungry now.
What do you want?
I know a great restaurant.
When I was in university,
my classmates often ate there.
Where?
I…
Zheng Qi, stop!
Stop!
Zheng Qi, are you okay?
Does it hurt?
-Should we go to the hospital?
-I'm fine.
You're bleeding.
I'm frightened.
It's fine.
Come on.
What happened?
It's nothing, just a small wound.
The police have taken a statement,
but he refused to go to the hospital.
Why were you so careless?
It was all my fault.
He was trying to amuse me.
I didn't notice where we were.
No, how can it be your fault?
I took you there.
-I…
-Both of you were to blame.
I said it was my fault.
I wasn't in a good mood,
so I didn't notice it.
Can you stop blaming us?
Well, please get out.
I'll look after my boyfriend.
Well, have a good rest.
Gently.
"Boyfriend"?
Doesn't it hurt?
I can do it myself.
Don't move.
Does it still hurt?
No.
I forgot to thank you today.
Except for the encounter
with the vagrants,
I've been very happy today.
I haven't been so happy for long.
As long as you're happy,
even if I was punched,
it was worth it.
But you looked frightening
when you were fighting.
I was shocked.
I'm doomed to have let you see
my dark side.
Dark side?
Because of Feng Teng,
I also find many dark sides
of mine in love.
The original hearty Yuan Lishu
became jealous, calculating,
and untruthful
in love.
The dark Yuan Lishu
is too frightening
to be recognized by myself.
What about now?
After noticing your inner heart
has been distorted by love,
do you want to go on like this?
If there's no positive support
in a relationship,
it's no use going on like this.
What is positive support?
You just said you were very happy with me.
Is it positive support?
I think
a relationship
should be this happy.
Lishu?
Where did she go?
Sorry, I'll return home first.
I need some time to think it over.
Hello?
Feng Teng, Lishu has gone back
to China first.
Why?
Don't ask too much.
I'm worried she'll disappear again
when she's back in Shanghai.
Well, he looks more spirited and ruddier.
Thank you so much this time, Zhang.
-I mean it.
-Never mind.
-My pleasure.
-Thank you.
I have something else to do. I'll go now.
Thank you, Zhang.
You're welcome. See you later.
-Okay, see you later.
-Bye.
Thank you, take care.
Zhang is quite honest
and looks pretty good.
He's also enterprising, isn't he?
But he's of a lower educational level.
He's just a junior college graduate.
That's not a big deal.
-As long as he's hardworking,
-Grandpa.
-he'll be promising.
-Do you feel better?
Anyway, driving is also a profession.
He can take over the taxi business
on a small scale back in the hometown
as a boss at least.
That's enough.
We're merely colleagues.
Shanshan, you and Zhang
have a tacit understanding,
claiming you're only colleagues.
I don't believe it.
You must have prepared your confessions.
That's not the case. You're so…
Zhang did so because…
It was because of Ms. Feng Yue's order.
That was why he came to help.
He just stayed here all morning
while you were questioning him
so thoroughly.
You really embarrassed me.
Although it was because of Ms. Feng,
I think you're on good terms with him.
That's it.
He looks diligent and enterprising.
Shanshan, at your age,
-you ought to have a boyfriend.
-Yes.
Then we can rest assured.
If I tell them now
that Feng Teng is my boyfriend,
they will make a great fuss.
I'll tell them another day.
I told you we're merely colleagues.
I don't believe it.
They're just colleagues.
Right, colleagues.
-Isn't he your boyfriend?
-Colleague!
Who is Zhang?
-Her boyfriend.
-My colleague.
A colleague of Shanshan's.
Yes.
Mr. Wang,
put my luggage here.
Put it in now.
-I have to go out with Lishu.
-Yes.
My brother called me
to keep an eye on you.
I want to move out.
Let's talk about it later.
Let's go to the hospital first.
The hospital?
Feng Yue, Lishu.
Thank you for picking me up
to visit my grandpa.
Never mind, Shanshan.
We're going to visit Mr. Xue.
Lishu, shouldn't you be in England?
Well, they're busy working every day.
I was too bored to stay there,
so I came back in advance.
Lishu, are they really this busy?
Doesn't Zheng Qi have any time
to accompany you?
Shanshan, Lishu just came back.
She hasn't gotten over her jet lag.
Let her have a nap.
Shanshan, I'm sorry
for answering the call in England.
It's okay.
I really thank you for helping me out.
Or else, they wouldn't
understand me at all
because I don't speak English that well.
You're actually a pretty good girl.
You're to the liking
of both boys and girls.
I didn't look down on you before.
I just thought you could be better.
Did Feng Teng scold you?
Didn't he tell you?
Did he really scold you?
Lishu, please don't take it to heart.
I really don't mind it at all.
And I've been busy with my grandpa's
hospitalization these days.
I had no time to think of anything else.
When I see him,
I'll speak up for you.
He didn't scold me.
Judging from my personality,
how can I stand still and endure it?
We just had a little dispute.
It wasn't a big deal.
I actually envy you.
Envy?
Envy your lack of schemes.
Now, I even understand
why Feng Teng likes you so much.
He thinks I'm slow and unresponsive.
And he likes to bully me.
Lishu seems to have something on her mind.
Did she quarrel with Feng Teng?
If nothing had happened
and the air had been cleared,
they wouldn't have quarreled.
What the heck was going on?
Lishu, Shanshan.
Let's go visit Mr. Xue.
Chenghao, when did you come?
Grandpa.
Ms. Feng is here to visit you.
-Mr. Xue, how are you?
-I'm doing good.
You Chenghao.
Why are you here?
Shanshan, it has been a long time.
Ms. Feng, you're here.
Come on, sit here.
No, thank you.
Well, these are for Mr. Xue.
All right, thank you.
Dad, Mom, she's Yuan Lishu,
another friend of mine.
Nice to meet you.
Yuan Lishu,
the most beautiful cultural worker
in Shanghai
in charge of a chain bookstore.
You're in high places again.
Don't stand still.
Let them sit.
Sit down, please.
No, thank you.
We especially came to visit Mr. Xue.
Mr. Xue, do you feel better?
-How is it going?
-I'm feeling better.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Welcome.
I was busy the other day.
Everybody knows that
running a business is hard.
If I knew you'd come,
I would have changed the ward
to a bigger one.
And you would have a place to sit.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Don't bother.
We're especially here for Mr. Xue.
As long as he feels comfortable,
we'll be happy.
Let me introduce him.
You Chenghao, Liuliu's boyfriend.
Though he's young,
he's the second in command.
He has a high status.
He just feels embarrassed
to let you drop by in such a place, right?
All right, don't bother.
It's no use being fussy
about the hospital.
We don't care about this.
Ms. Feng, my dad
is about to be discharged.
I know you're busy,
so don't bother to come here later.
I want to express
my heartfelt thanks to you.
Sorry to bother you.
Don't stand on ceremony, sir.
I also want to invite your family
to Shanghai when Mr. Xue recovers.
It's my treat. I'll show you our best.
-There's no need.
-Deal!
Shanshan, sorry to have
embarrassed you just now.
It's fine.
Cheer up.
I'm just wondering
why You Chenghao came again.
It's a long story.
Since he knew
you're Feng Teng's girlfriend,
perhaps he has longed
to get close to Feng Teng
by pulling some strings from me.
He frequently came to me.
I'm avoiding him as if he were a thief.
I didn't expect him to come
to my mom last night.
-You know my mom well.
-Then…
Did your mom ask you
to make up with him again?
I didn't want to,
but my mom forced me.
She said if I didn't make up with him,
I would have to go back
to our hometown with her.
Liuliu, you've moved out
and had a steady job.
You're so grown-up.
Don't always obey your mom.
Come on.
Grandpa is sick now.
The whole family is in a mess.
I'd better not make things worse.
Now, I just want my mom to go home soon.
I've warned You Chenghao
not to expose your relationship
with Feng Teng.
Thank you.
Shanshan's parents seem honest and polite,
but her aunt is too nagging.
And that You Chenghao,
her cousin's boyfriend, looks weird.
But Shanshan seems close to her cousin.
I heard from Shanshan
that her cousin is smart and beautiful.
That's true,
but her taste for men isn't good.
If they really get married later,
You Chenghao and my brother
will become in-laws.
You worry too much.
Your brother is in love with Shanshan,
not Shanshan's relative.
Besides, it's her cousin, not her sister.
You'll be exhausted in the relationship
if you worry too much.
Lishu,
my brother called me
to make sure you stay at any cost
without telling me the reason.
What happened on your trip to England?
It's unlike your usual style.
Did you bare your heart to my brother?
Zheng Qi.
I've never had such an experience
where the girl sleeping next to me left
when I woke up.
Thinking about it makes me feel sad.
I'm sorry.
I need some time to think it over.
Think over what?
You still won't give up on Feng Teng?
Zheng Qi,
I've liked Feng Teng for 12 years,
during which I also had other boyfriends.
But I know my true love is Feng Teng.
Twelve years is really a long time,
so long that when I woke up
in your room that day,
I panicked at the thought
that I no longer liked Feng Teng.
You mean you panicked
because you found yourself liking me
rather than Feng Teng?
I'm not sure.
What are you not sure of?
I don't know how someone
who has liked a man for 12 years
can suddenly take to someone else
after a night.
Even if I'm sure
I don't like Feng Teng anymore,
I'm not sure if I like you.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to say sorry.
You're right.
Let's recall everything
that happened that afternoon.
I quarreled with Feng Teng at first.
Then we enjoyed a happy afternoon
and you got hurt for me
after the encounter with the vagrants.
Everything that happened that afternoon
was too dramatic.
I think I possibly had floated
on the sea for so long
that I wanted to catch the driftwood.
Yuan Lishu.
I just want to know one thing.
No, two things.
First,
do you know now that I like you very much?
I know.
Is it possible for you to like me?
I don't know. Now, I…
But not for now.
It's unfair to both of us that I said yes.
I know,
but…
I can wait for you.
But I'm telling you,
I won't wait for you for too long.
Hurry and make up your mind.
Shanshan.
Why are you here too?
I'm playing hooky.
Don't you fear docked pay?
No, I took a day off in lieu.
Do you feel better?
He's feeling much better.
His fever is almost gone.
His swelling has greatly subsided.
-The doctor said there was no big deal.
-I'm talking about you.
I've always been fine.
Really?
Let's go visit your grandpa in hospital.
Zhang, pick up the car
and drive us to the hospital.
Yes.
Is there any problem?
Not at all.
Let me call my mom first.
What for?
I haven't told my family about us.
About what?
That's not the case. Because…
it's not a proper time
since grandpa got ill
and Liuliu just broke up.
No, those excuses are too far-fetched.
Because…
Xue Shanshan,
why didn't you tell me your parents came?
They came all of a sudden
after you went abroad.
And your grandpa's illness?
Why didn't you tell me in the first place?
You had meetings abroad.
I was afraid to disturb you.
Do you think our relationship is unstable
and we'll break up sooner or later?
Do you think I don't deserve
to be your boyfriend at all?
Is our relationship so shady?
-Slowly.
-Slowly.
Take it slow.
Do you think our relationship is unstable
and we'll break up sooner or later?
Do you think I don't deserve
to be your boyfriend at all?
It still stuck in my throat.
Why?
I had many chances these days
to tell Dad and Mom about Feng Teng.
Have I subconsciously thought
that we'd break up as Feng Teng said?
That's why since we got
into a committed relationship,
I no longer dared to eat in his office,
or let my colleagues
and even my family know.
If it was not requested by Feng Teng,
I never would have thought
of inviting Shuangyi and Liuliu to a meal.
Others hide their boyfriends
because they're shady,
while I hide him because…
Xue Shanshan,
judging from all his sincere efforts,
how can you have an intuition
that you'll break up?
Can I be blamed for having such intuition?
Especially in such a big company,
any news will be magnified
under the watchful eye of all the staff.
Everyone keeps an eye
on our every single move.
No one thinks we'll have a happy ending.
But can I blame these colleagues?
If I'm in love with an assistant,
it doesn't matter,
but I'm in love with the big boss.
It's so unreal in real life.
Being tiny and negligible,
shouldn't I have reservations
and be sane in the face of reality
when my dream is shattered?
Yes, there is a huge gap
between us indeed.
Do you know how much courage
it takes to bridge the gap?
Do you know how many peculiar looks
I have to endure?
You know nothing.
Why are you angrier than I am?
It's harder for me than you think.
Feng Teng, why do I think
we'll surely break up?
I'm so afraid of the pain after a breakup.
-Let's eat.
-Come on.
Where is Lishu?
Lishu is feeling unwell.
I'll ask the cook
to make her something to eat later.
Let's eat.
You eat first.
Let me have a look.
Did anything happen in our company?
Nothing happened.
He just came back from England,
so he might still be jet-lagged.
No, something must have
happened in England.
The three of them went abroad together
but came back separately in a bad mood.
Come in.
May I come in?
I shouldn't have
scolded you in London.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to say sorry
because I don't plan to apologize either.
By now, I clearly remember
everything I did and said in London.
Not everything I said that day
was out of anger.
It was
long hidden in my heart.
I've known you since childhood.
I followed you wherever you went.
I met every single girlfriend of yours.
You've never known my heart,
but I still chose to stay with you
because I thought that one day,
you would be aware of my existence
and feelings.
Lishu.
I've read The Great Gatsby
that you gave me
in college years.
Then why did you say
you hadn't read it?
What matters is not whether I've read it,
but I've been thinking of you
as my sister.
I know you have many thoughts
against Shanshan,
but she's my girlfriend.
It's my choice.
I know no one can govern your choice.
For so long,
what I needed
was just a clear-cut answer.
So thank you for telling me
about the bookmark
and for confessing your feelings.
I do want to ask you
if all the women by my side
are very tired
and have a hard time.
You mean Shanshan?
She's really hardworking.
Though not excellent enough,
she may be working harder than I am.
We women must work hard
to be worthy of a perfect man like you.
I'm not perfect.
I never expected my girlfriend
to be perfect.
I just hope she can be happy.
She doesn't have to be so pressured.
She can rely on me.
I identify with Shanshan's pressure
to some extent
because I used to be the same.
But Shanshan is strong enough.
I believe she'll find her way out.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.
It's my first time to be friend-zoned.
All right.
Can you go downstairs to eat now?
It's bad for your health.
Quickly.
Mom, what are you doing?
I'm discharged.
Your grandpa has been asking
to be discharged.
The doctor allowed it just now.
So he's urging us to pack things up
and asking me to call you two here.
Grandpa, have you recovered?
Don't you have to stay longer?
The doctor said I've recovered.
I don't have to stay here any longer.
Go home.
That's right. It's not a luxury hotel.
No need to stay any longer.
Though Ms. Feng's house is comfortable,
your mom and I are confined
to this small ward all day long.
We'd better take your grandpa home
and have a good rest.
Liuliu, hurry and go through
the discharge formalities with Shanshan.
Today is Saturday.
Or else, you can't go through them all
until Monday.
-Hurry.
-Go ahead.
-Hurry.
-Okay.
-All right, we'll do as you said.
-Go ahead.
Is everything ready?
-Yes, Father.
-Is there anything left?
Leave it to me.
I'm okay, Mom.
You look really well.
Here we are.
We're finally going back.
Stand here.
-Dad, let me help you.
-Okay.
-Take one for me.
-All right.
Baby, I have no time
to eat with you and Chenghao for now.
We'll do it next time.
I racked my brain
to change Chenghao's mind.
Control your temper.
I don't want to beg others
like this anymore.
Or you could only marry
a driver or an assistant.
Then when will you make your way
into the world?
Baby, listen to me.
All right, Mom.
I know it.
Don't worry about Chenghao and me.
Take care on your way back.
-Look after Grandpa at home.
-Okay.
Dad, I booked berths for you.
Grandpa isn't quite well.
Have more rest on the way back.
Okay, don't worry.
We'll look after your grandpa on the way.
I'll call you when we get back.
Shanshan.
I saw your badge change yesterday.
Whose phone number is it?
My badge…
Because…
Because the previous one
was made of paper.
It was unreliable and apt to be lost,
so I asked a friend to make an iron one
with Liuliu's number on it.
She's also in Shanghai.
We can take care of each other.
Is it Liuliu's number?
Yes.
Shanshan, you're still young.
Don't be so reckless.
Even if you never get married
in this life,
your mom and I won't blame you, you know?
When you're out here,
the most important thing
is to look after yourself.
A relationship is a matter of fate.
Don't rush it.
I'm worried you'd be cheated.
You must open your eyes wide
and look closely.
Dad, don't worry about me.
I'm no longer a kid.
I'll be careful.
Don't worry.
Maybe I should tell him now
that I found a good man.
Hey, you can still see each other later.
Don't part with reluctance like this.
Let's go.
The train will depart in 20 minutes.
-Go.
-Okay.
Shanshan, see you later.
Baby, bye.
-Bye.
-Take care.
Be careful. Safety first.
Bye, Dad.
Shanshan,
Feng Teng never came to the hospital,
but he asked Zhang and his secretary
to come instead.
Does he know that you haven't told
your family about your relationship?
What's worse, he's angry with me for this.
Angry?
Is it that serious?
Lishu.
Look, whether you get together
with Feng Teng or not,
you're trying to manage this relationship.
In this procedure,
you become more beautiful, elegant,
decent, and gorgeous.
That's enough.
But I don't think
I seem that elegant and mature
judging from what I did to Shanshan.
You haven't reached the age
of elegance and maturity.
Let's go play.
Let's go.
Don't run so fast.
Don't bully kids.
Zheng Qi.
Where are we going?
Let's have something to eat.
I'm really hungry now.
What do you want?
I know a great restaurant.
When I was in university,
my classmates often ate there.
Where?
I…
Zheng Qi, stop!
Stop!
Zheng Qi, are you okay?
Does it hurt?
-Should we go to the hospital?
-I'm fine.
You're bleeding.
I'm frightened.
It's fine.
Come on.
What happened?
It's nothing, just a small wound.
The police have taken a statement,
but he refused to go to the hospital.
Why were you so careless?
It was all my fault.
He was trying to amuse me.
I didn't notice where we were.
No, how can it be your fault?
I took you there.
-I…
-Both of you were to blame.
I said it was my fault.
I wasn't in a good mood,
so I didn't notice it.
Can you stop blaming us?
Well, please get out.
I'll look after my boyfriend.
Well, have a good rest.
Gently.
"Boyfriend"?
Doesn't it hurt?
I can do it myself.
Don't move.
Does it still hurt?
No.
I forgot to thank you today.
Except for the encounter
with the vagrants,
I've been very happy today.
I haven't been so happy for long.
As long as you're happy,
even if I was punched,
it was worth it.
But you looked frightening
when you were fighting.
I was shocked.
I'm doomed to have let you see
my dark side.
Dark side?
Because of Feng Teng,
I also find many dark sides
of mine in love.
The original hearty Yuan Lishu

The dark Yuan Lishu

has been distorted by love,

If there's no positive support
in a relationship,
it's no use going on like this.
What is positive support?
You just said you were very happy with me.
Is it positive support?
I think
a relationship
should be this happy.
Lishu?
Where did she go?
Sorry, I'll return home first.
I need some time to think it over.
Hello?
Feng Teng, Lishu has gone back
to China first.
Why?
Don't ask too much.
I'm worried she'll disappear again
when she's back in Shanghai.
Well, he looks more spirited and ruddier.
Thank you so much this time, Zhang.
-I mean it.
-Never mind.
-My pleasure.
-Thank you.
I have something else to do. I'll go now.
Thank you, Zhang.
You're welcome. See you later.
-Okay, see you later.
-Bye.
Thank you, take care.
Zhang is quite honest
and looks pretty good.
He's also enterprising, isn't he?
But he's of a lower educational level.
He's just a junior college graduate.
That's not a big deal.
-As long as he's hardworking,
-Grandpa.
-he'll be promising.
-Do you feel better?
Anyway, driving is also a profession.
He can take over the taxi business
on a small scale back in the hometown
as a boss at least.
That's enough.
We're merely colleagues.
Shanshan, you and Zhang
have a tacit understanding,
claiming you're only colleagues.
I don't believe it.
You must have prepared your confessions.
That's not the case. You're so…
Zhang did so because…
It was because of Ms. Feng Yue's order.

-Her boyfriend.
-My colleague.
A colleague of Shanshan's.
Yes.
Mr. Wang,
put my luggage here.
Put it in now.
-I have to go out with Lishu.
-Yes.
My brother called me
to keep an eye on you.
I want to move out.
Let's talk about it later.
Let's go to the hospital first.
The hospital?
Feng Yue, Lishu.
Thank you for picking me up
to visit my grandpa.
Never mind, Shanshan.
We're going to visit Mr. Xue.
Lishu, shouldn't you be in England?
Well, they're busy working every day.
I was too bored to stay there,
so I came back in advance.
Lishu, are they really this busy?
Doesn't Zheng Qi have any time

Shanshan, Lishu just came back.
She hasn't gotten over her jet lag.

Shanshan, I'm sorry

It's okay.
I really thank you for helping me out.
Or else, they wouldn't

You're actually a pretty good girl.
You're to the liking
of both boys and girls.
I didn't look down on you before.
I just thought you could be better.
Did Feng Teng scold you?
Didn't he tell you?
Did he really scold you?
Lishu, please don't take it to heart.
I really don't mind it at all.
And I've been busy with my grandpa's
hospitalization these days.
I had no time to think of anything else.
When I see him,
I'll speak up for you.
He didn't scold me.
Judging from my personality,
how can I stand still and endure it?
We just had a little dispute.
It wasn't a big deal.
I actually envy you.
Envy?
Envy your lack of schemes.
Now, I even understand
why Feng Teng likes you so much.
He thinks I'm slow and unresponsive.
And he likes to bully me.
Lishu seems to have something on her mind.
Did she quarrel with Feng Teng?
If nothing had happened
and the air had been cleared,
they wouldn't have quarreled.
What the heck was going on?
Lishu, Shanshan.
Let's go visit Mr. Xue.
Chenghao, when did you come?
Grandpa.
Ms. Feng is here to visit you.
-Mr. Xue, how are you?
-I'm doing good.
You Chenghao.
Why are you here?
Shanshan, it has been a long time.
Ms. Feng, you're here.
Come on, sit here.
No, thank you.
Well, these are for Mr. Xue.
All right, thank you.
Dad, Mom, she's Yuan Lishu,
another friend of mine.
Nice to meet you.
Yuan Lishu,
the most beautiful cultural worker
in Shanghai
in charge of a chain bookstore.
You're in high places again.
Don't stand still.
Let them sit.
Sit down, please.
No, thank you.
We especially came to visit Mr. Xue.
Mr. Xue, do you feel better?
-How is it going?
-I'm feeling better.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Welcome.
I was busy the other day.
Everybody knows that
running a business is hard.
If I knew you'd come,
I would have changed the ward
to a bigger one.
And you would have a place to sit.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Don't bother.
We're especially here for Mr. Xue.
As long as he feels comfortable,
we'll be happy.
Let me introduce him.
You Chenghao, Liuliu's boyfriend.
Though he's young,
he's the second in command.
He has a high status.
He just feels embarrassed
to let you drop by in such a place, right?
All right, don't bother.
It's no use being fussy
about the hospital.
We don't care about this.
Ms. Feng, my dad
is about to be discharged.
I know you're busy,
so don't bother to come here later.
I want to express
my heartfelt thanks to you.
Sorry to bother you.
Don't stand on ceremony, sir.
I also want to invite your family
to Shanghai when Mr. Xue recovers.
It's my treat. I'll show you our best.
-There's no need.
-Deal!
Shanshan, sorry to have
embarrassed you just now.
It's fine.
Cheer up.
I'm just wondering
why You Chenghao came again.
It's a long story.
Since he knew
you're Feng Teng's girlfriend,
perhaps he has longed
to get close to Feng Teng
by pulling some strings from me.
He frequently came to me.
I'm avoiding him as if he were a thief.
I didn't expect him to come
to my mom last night.
-You know my mom well.
-Then…
Did your mom ask you
to make up with him again?
I didn't want to,
but my mom forced me.
She said if I didn't make up with him,
I would have to go back
to our hometown with her.
Liuliu, you've moved out
and had a steady job.
You're so grown-up.
Don't always obey your mom.
Come on.
Grandpa is sick now.
The whole family is in a mess.
I'd better not make things worse.
Now, I just want my mom to go home soon.
I've warned You Chenghao
not to expose your relationship
with Feng Teng.
Thank you.
Shanshan's parents seem honest and polite,
but her aunt is too nagging.
And that You Chenghao,
her cousin's boyfriend, looks weird.
But Shanshan seems close to her cousin.
I heard from Shanshan
that her cousin is smart and beautiful.
That's true,
but her taste for men isn't good.
If they really get married later,
You Chenghao and my brother
will become in-laws.
You worry too much.
Your brother is in love with Shanshan,
not Shanshan's relative.
Besides, it's her cousin, not her sister.
You'll be exhausted in the relationship
if you worry too much.
Lishu,
my brother called me
to make sure you stay at any cost
without telling me the reason.
What happened on your trip to England?
It's unlike your usual style.
Did you bare your heart to my brother?
Zheng Qi.
I've never had such an experience
where the girl sleeping next to me left
when I woke up.
Thinking about it makes me feel sad.
I'm sorry.
I need some time to think it over.
Think over what?
You still won't give up on Feng Teng?
Zheng Qi,
I've liked Feng Teng for 12 years,
during which I also had other boyfriends.
But I know my true love is Feng Teng.
Twelve years is really a long time,
so long that when I woke up
in your room that day,
I panicked at the thought
that I no longer liked Feng Teng.
You mean you panicked
because you found yourself liking me
rather than Feng Teng?
I'm not sure.
What are you not sure of?
I don't know how someone
who has liked a man for 12 years
can suddenly take to someone else
after a night.
Even if I'm sure
I don't like Feng Teng anymore,
I'm not sure if I like you.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to say sorry.
You're right.
Let's recall everything
that happened that afternoon.
I quarreled with Feng Teng at first.
Then we enjoyed a happy afternoon
and you got hurt for me
after the encounter with the vagrants.
Everything that happened that afternoon
was too dramatic.
I think I possibly had floated
on the sea for so long
that I wanted to catch the driftwood.
Yuan Lishu.
I just want to know one thing.
No, two things.
First,
do you know now that I like you very much?
I know.
Is it possible for you to like me?
I don't know. Now, I…
But not for now.
It's unfair to both of us that I said yes.
I know,
but…
I can wait for you.
But I'm telling you,
I won't wait for you for too long.
Hurry and make up your mind.
Shanshan.
Why are you here too?
I'm playing hooky.
Don't you fear docked pay?
No, I took a day off in lieu.
Do you feel better?
He's feeling much better.
His fever is almost gone.
His swelling has greatly subsided.
-The doctor said there was no big deal.
-I'm talking about you.
I've always been fine.
Really?
Let's go visit your grandpa in hospital.
Zhang, pick up the car
and drive us to the hospital.
Yes.
Is there any problem?
Not at all.
Let me call my mom first.
What for?
I haven't told my family about us.
About what?
That's not the case. Because…
it's not a proper time
since grandpa got ill
and Liuliu just broke up.
No, those excuses are too far-fetched.
Because…
Xue Shanshan,
why didn't you tell me your parents came?
They came all of a sudden
after you went abroad.
And your grandpa's illness?
Why didn't you tell me in the first place?
You had meetings abroad.
I was afraid to disturb you.
Do you think our relationship is unstable
and we'll break up sooner or later?
Do you think I don't deserve
to be your boyfriend at all?
Is our relationship so shady?
-Slowly.
-Slowly.
Take it slow.
Do you think our relationship is unstable
and we'll break up sooner or later?
Do you think I don't deserve
to be your boyfriend at all?
It still stuck in my throat.
Why?
I had many chances these days
to tell Dad and Mom about Feng Teng.
Have I subconsciously thought
that we'd break up as Feng Teng said?
That's why since we got
into a committed relationship,
I no longer dared to eat in his office,
or let my colleagues
and even my family know.
If it was not requested by Feng Teng,
I never would have thought
of inviting Shuangyi and Liuliu to a meal.
Others hide their boyfriends
because they're shady,
while I hide him because…
Xue Shanshan,
judging from all his sincere efforts,
how can you have an intuition
that you'll break up?
Can I be blamed for having such intuition?
Especially in such a big company,
any news will be magnified
under the watchful eye of all the staff.
Everyone keeps an eye
on our every single move.
No one thinks we'll have a happy ending.
But can I blame these colleagues?
If I'm in love with an assistant,
it doesn't matter,
but I'm in love with the big boss.
It's so unreal in real life.
Being tiny and negligible,
shouldn't I have reservations
and be sane in the face of reality
when my dream is shattered?
Yes, there is a huge gap
between us indeed.
Do you know how much courage
it takes to bridge the gap?
Do you know how many peculiar looks
I have to endure?
You know nothing.
Why are you angrier than I am?
It's harder for me than you think.
Feng Teng, why do I think
we'll surely break up?
I'm so afraid of the pain after a breakup.
-Let's eat.
-Come on.
Where is Lishu?
Lishu is feeling unwell.
I'll ask the cook
to make her something to eat later.
Let's eat.
You eat first.
Let me have a look.
Did anything happen in our company?
Nothing happened.
He just came back from England,
so he might still be jet-lagged.
No, something must have
happened in England.
The three of them went abroad together
but came back separately in a bad mood.
Come in.
May I come in?
I shouldn't have
scolded you in London.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to say sorry
because I don't plan to apologize either.
By now, I clearly remember
everything I did and said in London.
Not everything I said that day
was out of anger.
It was
long hidden in my heart.
I've known you since childhood.
I followed you wherever you went.
I met every single girlfriend of yours.
You've never known my heart,
but I still chose to stay with you
because I thought that one day,
you would be aware of my existence
and feelings.
Lishu.
I've read The Great Gatsby
that you gave me
in college years.
Then why did you say
you hadn't read it?
What matters is not whether I've read it,
but I've been thinking of you
as my sister.
I know you have many thoughts
against Shanshan,
but she's my girlfriend.
It's my choice.
I know no one can govern your choice.
For so long,
what I needed
was just a clear-cut answer.
So thank you for telling me
about the bookmark
and for confessing your feelings.
I do want to ask you
if all the women by my side
are very tired
and have a hard time.
You mean Shanshan?
She's really hardworking.
Though not excellent enough,
she may be working harder than I am.
We women must work hard
to be worthy of a perfect man like you.
I'm not perfect.
I never expected my girlfriend
to be perfect.
I just hope she can be happy.
She doesn't have to be so pressured.
She can rely on me.
I identify with Shanshan's pressure
to some extent
because I used to be the same.
But Shanshan is strong enough.
I believe she'll find her way out.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything
you've done for me.
It's my first time to be friend-zoned.
All right.
Can you go downstairs to eat now?
It's bad for your health.
Quickly.
Mom, what are you doing?
I'm discharged.
Your grandpa has been asking
to be discharged.
The doctor allowed it just now.
So he's urging us to pack things up
and asking me to call you two here.
Grandpa, have you recovered?
Don't you have to stay longer?
The doctor said I've recovered.
I don't have to stay here any longer.
Go home.
That's right. It's not a luxury hotel.
No need to stay any longer.
Though Ms. Feng's house is comfortable,
your mom and I are confined
to this small ward all day long.
We'd better take your grandpa home
and have a good rest.
Liuliu, hurry and go through
the discharge formalities with Shanshan.
Today is Saturday.
Or else, you can't go through them all
until Monday.
-Hurry.
-Go ahead.
-Hurry.
-Okay.
-All right, we'll do as you said.
-Go ahead.
Is everything ready?
-Yes, Father.
-Is there anything left?
Leave it to me.
I'm okay, Mom.
You look really well.
Here we are.
We're finally going back.
Stand here.
-Dad, let me help you.
-Okay.
-Take one for me.
-All right.
Baby, I have no time
to eat with you and Chenghao for now.
We'll do it next time.
I racked my brain
to change Chenghao's mind.
Control your temper.
I don't want to beg others
like this anymore.
Or you could only marry
a driver or an assistant.
Then when will you make your way
into the world?
Baby, listen to me.
All right, Mom.
I know it.
Don't worry about Chenghao and me.
Take care on your way back.
-Look after Grandpa at home.
-Okay.
Dad, I booked berths for you.
Grandpa isn't quite well.
Have more rest on the way back.
Okay, don't worry.
We'll look after your grandpa on the way.
I'll call you when we get back.
Shanshan.
I saw your badge change yesterday.
Whose phone number is it?
My badge…
Because…
Because the previous one
was made of paper.
It was unreliable and apt to be lost,
so I asked a friend to make an iron one
with Liuliu's number on it.
She's also in Shanghai.
We can take care of each other.
Is it Liuliu's number?
Yes.
Shanshan, you're still young.
Don't be so reckless.
Even if you never get married
in this life,
your mom and I won't blame you, you know?
When you're out here,
the most important thing
is to look after yourself.
A relationship is a matter of fate.
Don't rush it.
I'm worried you'd be cheated.
You must open your eyes wide
and look closely.
Dad, don't worry about me.
I'm no longer a kid.
I'll be careful.
Don't worry.
Maybe I should tell him now
that I found a good man.
Hey, you can still see each other later.
Don't part with reluctance like this.
Let's go.
The train will depart in 20 minutes.
-Go.
-Okay.
Shanshan, see you later.
Baby, bye.
-Bye.
-Take care.
Be careful. Safety first.
Bye, Dad.
Shanshan,
Feng Teng never came to the hospital,
but he asked Zhang and his secretary
to come instead.
Does he know that you haven't told
your family about your relationship?
What's worse, he's angry with me for this.
Angry?
Is it that serious?
