[Mr. Bad]

[Episode 14]

You and your teammates had a good time.

You ate, drank, and talked freely.

To me, they are like Sisi.

You talked about everything.

No.

They are good brothers.

We train together and sweat together.

So, to me, they are like Sisi.

We are carefree.

What about me?

You?

To you, am I like Sisi?

Of course not.

In what way?

You are not my classmate.

What am I to you?

You are...

You summoned me.

I'm your neighbour.

I write a novel with you.

I...

I don't know what to say but when you're with me, you are not

as carefree.

Do you want to be my brother too?

No.

Since we are writing a novel together,

you are my business partner.

Business partner.

Well?

You are my sole business partner now.

You're not the same as others.

[Never mind.]

[At least, I'm the only one.]

Now?

With me around, you don't need anyone else.

How is your

writing progress?

Have you started?

I wrote the beginning.

Why didn't you tell me?

I think you won't like it.

What did you write?

[Man in Black: Butt out and leave. Xiao Wudi: Her business is my business.]

[Come what may.]

[Laugh at me if you want to.]

First, let me say this.

The paragraph after the one about Xiao Wudi defeating the man

in black is a work of art.

It's not a conjecture about you.

I know.

Do you?

Good.

What do you think about the latter parts?

They are okay.

Compared to the novels I've read, this is good but your hero

for the martial arts route is lame.

It's so fake.

Never mind.

I'll help you beef it up.

Really?

I feel this paragraph is a bit lame.

Don't be too happy.

This is just the beginning.

How about

you

come over here every night for a meeting with me?

We'll start by meticulously arranging the outline.

Your content is too arbitrary.

Outline?

When did you become professional?

I promised you I will improve it.

Of course, I will be careful.

One more thing.

About the names of the characters in your novel.

Must you use birth names?

Lu Zichen

is a villain.

You're right.

What should I call Lu Zichen?

Delete his name.

After all, they call him Boss in your novel.

No point in keeping his name.

Alright.

Can I call the heroine Nan Xiaoxing?

Sure.

What about Xiao Wudi?

Call me Young Master Hehuan.

Good. Young Master Hehuan.

Anything else?

If not, I'll go back first.

Sure?

Wait a minute.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

Didn't I say I've changed her impression about me?

♫ Accidentally think of ♫

♫ The locked diary in our drawer ♫

♫ During school days ♫

♫ The colourful fonts ♫

♫ Write down the most ideal story ♫

Exactly.

Isn't it?

He has martial arts skills.

♫ I throw the coin before the Trevi Fountain ♫

♫ Summon the fate ♫

Come. ♫ In the distant era ♫

♫ You who hear the summon ♫

♫ Are destined to be with me ♫

Understand?

Yes.

Ancient people

used one more move.

One move.

I'll write it down.

[I skipped the signing session and made a police statement after the hospital.]

What about Nan Xiao?

Nan Xing is Nan Xing.

Why did you add Xiao?

It sounds cute.

What then?

Nan Daxing?

I'll also... You are Xiao Wudi.

You can't add Small into the hero's name.

I want to be cute too.

You can't be cute.

Xiao Wudi.

It can be Small Wudi.

Again.

I'm a very frivolous bastard.

Pretty woman, let's have fun.

Stop.

She is my hostage.

From now on, you are my hostage.

♫ Be with me ♫

Xiao Wudi, this... part...

♫ Waiting for someone's expectation ♫

♫ I guess right now your heart flutters too ♫

[My Demonic Neighbour]

[My Hero Master]

[My Bad Master]

[My Bad Hero]

[Mr. Bad]

It's done.

It's finally done.

Tell me.

Will they like what we wrote?

Of course.

I intervened.

How could they not like it?

I wish I am half as confident as you

but I think there is a badly written part.

Which one?

That one about us dating.

I mean the part about the characters dating.

What's wrong with that part?

It doesn't feel real.

It doesn't have that heart-fluttering moment

but as it is, it is well-written.

It will do.

I have to go to the toilet.

For the authorisation details of the three platforms,

I'll get an actuarial evaluation before everyone votes.

Nan Xing, right after the evaluations, I'll send them to you

and then verify with the Boss.

Okay?

Any question?

No.

No.

Miss Ye is back.

You're back.

We're having a meeting.

Miss Ye.

Thanks, everyone.

Don't mention it.

Miss Ye, thank you.

We'll get to work.

Miss Ye, you came back early.

I finished my work early.

How was it?

We had a lot of work.

Could you cope?

Yes.

My colleagues were helpful.

I learned something new every day.

About the audiobook authorisation, I found a lot of information.

So, what do you think?

I think...

Do you remember a new platform that approached us earlier?

Although the platform is small and the royalties are low,

it has fresh ideas for its plan.

You can't convince me with that alone.

If it were me, I will consider this.

Although it is small, during the first-round financing, it obtained

investments from a well-known venture capital firm.

Although its royalties are low, its future profit-sharing ratio

is very high.

That will cover all the cost.

So, it is a long-term investment path.

Miss Ye, when can I be like you?

You don't have to be like me.

I gained these bit by bit from experience.

You only have to think more at work and strive more for progress.

Very soon, you'll win approvals.

Work hard.

Get busy.

Okay.

Come in.

Miss Ye.

Here's the report on the progress of the New Star Program.

Okay.

Do you have the shortlist?

Yes.

Overall, not bad.

Nan Xing contributed a story.

It was a blind process.

We didn't know which one was from Nan Xing.

The story is unique.

The characters are bright.

The theme is innovative, and the style is light and lively.

It is the most promising work since we solicited stories.

I think we found a treasure.

Should I call her in for an interview?

Temporarily no.

Follow the formal process.

Send out a general email and ask all the writers

here for an interview.

Okay.

This afternoon, it'll be sent out.

Okay. Go ahead.

[Your work "Mr. Bad" was selected by the judges as a finalist]

I have been shortlisted.

They want me to go for an interview tomorrow.

I am happy.

I told you.

With my help, you'll be shortlisted.

Thank you.

[That's my heart-fluttering moment.]

[We'll go together tomorrow.]

Good morning.

From the writing and style, I can see many unpolished places.

Because you are new,

you haven't formed an inherent writing routine and linguistic habits.

So, this feels refreshing.

It is noteworthy that you jumped out of the inherent character setting

and emotional route.

This is why your story has been selected from among all the works.

Generally, in romance novels, the lead actor tends to be a bit nasty

but you directly cast him as the villain.

That's very rare.

Your writing experience is not very rich but you handle

the martial arts part and design the historical details

with sophistication.

You must have done a lot of studies.

Not too much.

We usually do some studies.

Your team is awesome.

The hero and heroine you wrote saw their feelings germinate,

and had heart-fluttering moments.

Also, there are sparks from their interactions.

The entire editorial staff read it and beamed with satisfaction.

The credit goes to Nan Xing.

Most of what you said were her inspirations.

Next, look at the contract.

Okay?

If possible, the story should be continued.

Okay.

Half a month.

We'll wait for the good news.

You can do it.

Okay?

Okay.

Boss.

Boss.

Why are you here?

Miss Ye asked them over to discuss the contract for the novel.

Miss Ye?

Has she come back?

She came back early.

Okay.

Alright.

I won't see you out.

Bye-bye.

Okay. Don't see me out.

Go back to work.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

I'll pick you up after work.

Ye Qing, you are back.

What's up?

What is it?

I drop by to see you.

What's there to see?

I read the item you reminded me to read.

I'm surprised that Nan Xing could write.

What do you think?

It has bright spots

but I think the love route is a bit of a problem.

What problem?

The hero time travelled from ancient times

but he has a high IQ and EQ.

As for the heroine, apart from being physically fit,

everything else is ordinary.

So, why would the hero like the heroine?

Love is illogical.

I'm just telling the truth.

It's also about real-world logic.

Such a great man will, in reality, like excellent women.

Forget it.

The love domain is too hard for you.

You are Nan Xing's favourite writer.

Your evaluation will affect her enthusiasm.

Leave this matter to the Editorial Department.

What did you want to ask me last time?

Did you say lately I... I sent you a message but you didn't respond.

I wanted to ask you if you are interested in me?

I didn't say that.

Someone else asked.

Well... How did you answer?

I said that's absurd.

For years, we were coworkers.

In the future, ditto.

Right?

Hello.

Okay.

Is it tomorrow?

Let me check my schedule.

Okay.

Just coworkers?

Is the love domain so difficult?

Are we walking home?

Don't you think the scenery tonight is pretty?

I don't need it. I'm not cold.

Wear it.

Keep it as a spare.

Why are you so thoughtful today?

I'm helping you to write.

Write?

Didn't you say you haven't been on a date

and that writing this feel particularly surreal?

Today, I'll let you experience life.

So, are we dating?

Don't regard me as me but as Xiao Wudi.

Aren't you Xiao Wudi?

I mean, regard me as Xiao Wudi in the novel.

Okay?

What was the storyline?

The hero and heroine have a meal together,

watch a movie together,

take a stroll together,

and date each other.

The hero puts a coat on the heroine and then

hold hands for the first time.

Do you want to try that?

That's how it should feel.

Let's walk.

[Is this a heart-fluttering feeling?]

[It's like being electrocuted.]

[Say it again.]

[Say it again.]

[He was the first man]

[to confess to me.]

[I rejected him.]

[Say it again.]

[Get out.]

[Say it again.]

[What did you say?]

[You want to be my boyfriend]

[and want to see me.]

[Get out.]

That's not right.

Initially,

I just wanted her to spend more time with me.

Why do I want more and more?

Do I want to be her boyfriend?

Hello, I'm Xiao Wudi.

Young Master Hehuan and king of martial arts.

Can you be my girlfriend?

No.

How can I say that?

How can I possibly say that?

What if she says yes?

Then, I'll be with her every day,

obey

her,

get

married, and have babies.

I'll fall completely.

No. No.

How can I fall?

So, what if I fall?

No, no, no.

Come in.

Miss Ye.

Sit down.

Have you and Xiao Wudi read the contract?

Any questions?

We read it.

It should be okay.

I think with your ability, you can write on your own.

Why must you include Xiao Wudi?

Xiao Wudi gave me many raw material sources.

Without him, I can't write this novel.

Okay.

You still have a long way to go.

Keep going.

It's the Little King Kong.

It's so cute. where did you get it?

This is a memory for my friend and I

from long ago.

Get busy.

Okay.

Why are you sighing?

Is the love domain so hard for me?

No wonder you couldn't get her after this long.

Have you ever been in love?

What's so hard about falling in love?

Falling in love means two people sticking together every day

and you obey her.

Later, you get married and have a baby.

Love requires two people to fall together.

Is that hard?

After the manuscripts are collected, we'll hold a PEN congress for

all the writers.

Mr. Shi, the Editorial Department will be in charge.

Okay.

Any other questions?

No.

Meeting adjourned.

Ye Qing,

I've figured it out.

What?

I went back and repeatedly read Nan Xing's novel.

I feel that my criticism was biased.

Look.

In a suspense story, a criminal commits a crime for a reason.

It might not be a sufficient reason.

If the crime becomes a reality, the story is established.

What does it have to do with my novel?

This reasoning applies to love stories.

In a relationship, even if one has unrequited feelings,

if the love becomes a reality, the story is established.

So, what I said before...

I know your friend.

Nan Xing.

brief Xiao Wudi about today's meeting.

Okay.

How was my feedback just now?

Pretty good.

Are you still angry?

I've never been angry at you.

Are you free tomorrow?

Did you forget about tomorrow?

[PEN Congress]

Pen conference.

Two days and one night.

A single man and woman.

No, that's embarrassing.

Nan Xing,

what's wrong?

I... Why are your ears red?

Do you have a fever?

Let me touch you.

No, no.

Miss Jiao, I feel hot because I wear too much clothing.

I have work to do.

Hot?

[To be continued.]

I sent you the plan for the finale.

I'm reading it.

[Should I ask him along?]

The changes are fine.

If they're fine, I'll proofread and send it to the company tomorrow.

Okay.

It's still early.

Are you hungry?

I'll cook something for you.

Okay.

I'll help you.

What do you want?

Ham sausage omelette.

Okay.

Do you know how to open the sausage in one second?

Awesome. Awesome.

Well,

we've finished writing the novel.

Next... The novel is alright.

Next, we can rest.

Rest?

In future, you don't have to come here.

If nothing, I don't have to come over,

unless you need my help.

I don't need any help.

[She is not coming here.]

[I'd better ask him out.]

Xiao Wudi,

put the ham sausage in,

and add seasoning.

What should I do?

Should I ask him?

Forget it.

It's not suitable anyway.

Ask him.

Ask him directly.

No.

He will ask me why didn't I ask just now.

How do I explain it?

Help!

It's so troublesome.

Can't he ask me directly?

Did I summon you again?

Obviously.

You just asked me to ask you directly.

Ask you what?

Do you have something to tell me?

No.

Stop pretending.

Say it.

♫ When did you adore me? ♫

Our company is organising a pen conference for shortlisted writers

for two days and one night.

Do you want to go?

♫ Guess who likes each other more ♫

Together for two days and one night.

It's okay if you don't want to go.

I only asked you offhand.

I'll go.

I was tired from writing the novel for you.

I need to relax.

Good.

You go.

Aren't you going?

I

haven't decided.

Hey, you asked me to go but you... I'm sleepy.

You should go home.

No.

You asked me to go but you don't go.

Nan Xing, what's that noise?

It's nothing.

Mum.

Nan Xing.

What's that loud noise?

A stray cat was playing by our window.

Was it Da Huang?

It's been a long time.

Let me take a look.

It left after playing for a while.

Did it?

Call me if it comes again.

Okay.

You're sleepy.

Yes.

Go to bed.

Good night, mum.

Good night.

What do you mean you haven't decided?

Go back first.

I don't want my mum to see you.

Leave.

Wait.

Go.

Consider it.

Do you understand?

Yes.

What is she doing tomorrow?

I should know.

[I'll ask her]

[whether she has decided.]

[Is she going?]

Good morning.

Xiong.

Aunt An.

You're carrying so many things.

Let me help you.

Okay.

Why doesn't Nan Xing help you carry them?

She left early in the morning.

Cunning.

I'll help you, Aunt An.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

My pleasure.

If you want to give them away, and they're too heavy to carry,

you can call me.

I can't trouble you all the time.

I can take them to the group in batches.

Are you sure?

Is this okay?

Yes.

Your hands are more nimble than Nan Xing.

Where did she go today?

She said it is the high school founding anniversary celebration.

Is that so?

Is everyone going?

No.

The school can't accommodate everyone.

Nan Xing is enthusiastic and went back annually to help.

I think it's good for her to have fun.

Here, students.

Put the balloons on both sides.

Mr. Chen!

Hello, Nan Xing.

Long time no see.

Are you decorating?

You are early.

The school isn't ready yet.

No problem.

I'll just hang around.

Can I help?

Thanks.

You can take this to Mr. Zhang.

Okay.

Don't forget the celebration is held at the new campus.

Don't go the wrong way.

See you later.

Goodbye.

Come here.

Yes.

Put the balloons here.

Did you notice that Nan Xing has been absent-minded lately?

Is it because of the novel?

Whenever she writes, she sighs.

It must be that the plot of her latest novel

didn't progress smoothly.

What is the plot?

Tell me.

Maybe I can help.

It's her love route.

Maybe she needs inspiration.

She should ask me.

I am experienced.

In her first love, she was disliked.

She had a first love?

I thought she was alone.

Her first love failed.

So, she stayed alone.

Who was the guy?

Who else?
