[Hidden Love] [Adapted from the novel Hidden Love by Zhu Yi]

[Episode 16]

[Brother No.2] (Did you like your gift?)

He's really thick-skinned.

He actually took such a picture

and asked me if I liked it or not.

(What's with that picture?)

[Sang Zhi] (I can't see it clearly.)

(This gift is a defect.)

[Brother No.2] (If you say yes to me,)

(I'll send you an HD version of it immediately.)

[Duan Jiaxu] (Just you wish.)

(Initially, I wanted to use this)

(to hasten the courting process.)

(I never expected you)

(to reject me from the start.)

(I can only resort to this)

(to win a chance for myself.)

You old fox.

(You old fox.)

(I have to be)

(one step ahead)

(to deal with a young fox like you.)

(I'll go to sleep now.)

(Good night.)

[Brother No.2]

[Set Remarks and Tags]

[Suitor]

[Silly Dog]

[Happy birthday] (Little demon,)

(you can buy whatever you want with that money.)

If you move it there,

the pool table will be blocked.

You see that?

Okay, boss.

(Yan,)

[Sang Yan, Sang Zhi] (I might be getting into a relationship.)

(Did you attend university)

(to study or to get into a relationship?)

(Isn't it common to get into a relationship)

(during university?)

(Suit yourself.)

(Be careful. Don't get scammed.)

Yes, place the stool

over there.

That's right. Over there.

Yes.

(He's quite old.)

Hello?

Don't tell me he's older than me?

Lower your volume.

Where did you get to know him?

He...

He's a postgraduate student.

Listen.

You should study hard at your age.

Forget about getting into a relationship.

I won't accept it even if he's one day older than me.

I cannot accept it

if he addresses me formally when he's older than me.

Even if he's one day older than you...

Isn't it your gain when someone older than you addresses you formally?

[Chapter 16: Feelings. Waiting for your date.]

A present from your "elder brother"?

If so, have you decided on

when to say yes to him?

Do I need to think about that?

Of course.

Since he said he wanted to court you,

you have to think about

how long you'll let him court you.

How long should it be then?

About that,

it depends.

I said yes to Chen Qiang not long after

he started courting me.

But it depends on you.

It's the best moment

when you think

it's appropriate.

I think right now is appropriate enough.

You're something else.

But, Sang,

you have to protect yourself,

understood?

Wei,

I'm a little worried.

Worried about what?

I'm just afraid that he's doing it on a whim.

Will he stop courting me when he's tired of it?

I don't think that's likely to happen.

You two

have known each other for a long time.

Since he has decided to court you,

that means he must be determined.

What do you think?

You have a point.

It'll be fine.

If you're worried about that,

you should test him.

I'll go to sleep now.

Come on, don't give in yet.

Here's your favorite.

Thank you.

Your Americano.

Coming.

Thank you, Wang.

Here's your latte.

Thank you.

Is that a new bracelet?

It looks great.

What are you saying?

It's a present from her "elder brother".

-A present from her "elder brother"? -Really?

Come on. Let me take a look.

It's pretty nice.

This is?

Is that a mouse?

It's a fox.

A fox?

I couldn't tell.

A mouse?

He has good taste.

This one.

[Suitor] (Are you free tomorrow?)

Did your suitor text you?

Wait.

What will you reply?

Let me reply to him for you.

Didn't we say

that we would test him?

It'll be fine. Trust me.

I'm not free. Send.

Stop messing around.

What do you know?

Sang and I

talked about this before.

Sang, am I right?

What did you guys talk about?

(I'm not free.)

[Sang Zhi]

Did he reply to you?

What about the day after tomorrow?

I might not

be free either.

(I might not)

(be free either.)

But

what if

he fails to meet the expectations?

That's impossible.

He'll definitely pass the test.

He'll definitely pass it.

Listen.

No one can say for sure when you test people

in a relationship.

Sang, you better think twice.

Let me ask you guys something.

If you asked

someone out

and she replied

that she might not be free,

is she free or not then?

She might not be free?

That means it depends on your performance.

Why don't I call him?

You don't understand.

This is the charm of love.

Understood?

Okay, okay.

Reply to him like that.

Wait.

Hold it in.

Just endure it for a little longer.

Have something.

You should have something first.

Don't meddle when you don't know anything.

That means she's free then?

Duan, look into my eyes.

Who is it?

Who might not be free?

Eat your food.

Don't be nosy.

Something's going on.

Here he is.

Look!

I told you already.

I knew he would reply to her.

What did he write?

Let me see.

(What about Thursday night?)

What about Thursday night?

Fine.

Since he has tried this for the third time,

let's give him a pass then.

Hurry.

Stop being pretentious.

Hurry up.

(That's fine.)

[Sang Zhi]

Do I look okay?

Yeah.

You look beautiful.

There's a new noodles shop on the street

to the right of our university.

I heard that it was pretty good.

Is that so?

Let's go there together.

You guys can go by yourselves then.

I...

Sure.

We'll do a taste test for you.

What noodles do you guys want to try?

I heard from Yuting

that their shrimp...

Sang Zhi.

Sorry about this.

What's the matter?

Why did you start with an apology?

It's like this.

There's a bug

in the system we developed.

So,

we're dealing with it urgently.

I think

I might not be able

to join you for a meal today.

Okay.

Will you work until very late?

Will you take dinner?

Do you want me to order something for you?

Why did the alarm sound again?

Duan.

Duan,

save us.

Lower your volume.

Hello?

You should get back to work then.

That's fine.

Don't worry about me.

Sorry about that.

Remember to take dinner, okay?

Okay.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Done.

Looks like

I have to join you guys today.

Where's the shop?

It's to the right of the university's entrance.

You're all dolled up.

Are you sure you want to have noodles?

Can't I have noodles like this?

I guess so.

Let's go.

Let's go.

See you.

Goodbye.

She's so pretty.

Hello, Jiaxu?

Sorry.

You're apologizing again?

This time,

a colleague of mine

encountered some issues.

We have to change the program and add more functions to it.

I guess you don't have a choice.

If so,

you can call me when you're free then.

You're not upset, aren't you?

Once I'm done here,

I'll take you out for some good food.

I'll hang up first.

(Didn't he say that he was going to court me?)

(Is he even trying here?)

I don't want it.

Wait for me!

I'll stop.

Wait for me!

What's the matter?

Why did you come back?

You...

What are you doing here?

I thought you were going on a date?

Yeah.

You scared me.

He canceled the date.

Didn't he say he wanted to court you?

Do you know how many times he has stood you up?

It doesn't look like he's trying to court you.

He's busy with work.

He didn't do it on purpose.

So what if he's busy with work?

Don't tell me he has no time for you at all?

I'm sure he has time before

and after work.

I'm sure he has time

to see you if he wants to.

Precisely.

But he's really busy.

He's so busy that he has no time

to sleep.

It's already curfew

when he comes after work.

Why are you still defending him?

Sang,

don't you blame him?

It's fine.

I'm utterly speechless.

I can't just teach him

how to court you.

Sang,

did you not have dinner?

Are you hungry?

Oh, yeah.

Where's the leftover food we packed...

It's delicious.

That's right.

We packed some fruit too.

They're delicious.

Here. Take it.

You haven't had dinner, right?

Take a sniff. It's nice...

Don't eat that first.

You should finish the hamburger first.

Let me have some fruit first.

Don't.

You shouldn't have the fruits first.

But why?

You see,

the hamburger will spoil

if you keep it until tomorrow.

You should finish this first. It'll fill up your tummy.

Have this.

Take a sniff. It smells great.

Currently,

the character modeling

is basically completed.

Regarding that,

we actually

optimized the fluidity

of the characters'

techniques.

Currently,

we've basically

optimized

everything there is.

There's no issue for now.

Yes.

I'm sure everyone knows

how much Jia Yang has improved.

You flatter me.

It's been tough on you guys.

Our optimization

has proved

to be effective.

So,

I would like to congratulate you guys.

We don't need to work overtime today.

Let's go back and rest.

We can finally get off work on time.

[Nursing Home]

This won't do.

What are you drawing?

Sang.

Why are you back again?

Don't tell me he canceled the date again?

I was stood up again today.

Wait, what?

How many times has he stood you up?

Was it work again?

It's not work this time.

However,

I didn't ask him about it.

And I don't bother doing so.

Does it count as courting when he doesn't take her out for dates?

Of course not.

What is he doing?

All right.

It'll be fine.

Even if he's not here for you, we're here for you.

We'll keep you company.

Yeah.

Let's grab some coffee.

No.

I don't

feel like going out today.

Come on.

-Let's go. -No.

You have to.

No thanks.

You have to go.

No thanks.

Let's go.

[Jianfa Yibai Nursing Home]

(Mr. Duan,)

your father isn't doing well

lately.

I see.

Dr. Yang, thank you.

He has been bedridden for nine years.

His health and immunity

are subpar.

His pulmonary edema

is getting worse lately.

I suggest you take him to the hospital

for surgery

to remove the excess water in his lungs.

If not, an infection

might occur.

It'll be worse by then.

Do you think

he can regain consciousness?

Miracles will happen

as long as he's still alive.

If so, Dr. Yang, please deal with

the hospital transfer procedures for me.

I'll make a move first.

Okay.

Jiaxu!

Mom, look.

It's snowing today.

Call your dad.

Why isn't he back yet?

Didn't we say we were going to celebrate your success

for getting 1st place in the city's

physics contest?

I'll ask him.

Don't eat it yet.

How is it?

He didn't pick up.

Call him again.

Dear, you're back.

Dad.

What's the matter?

Did you take alcohol?

I'm done for.

What do you mean?

I'm done for.

What do you mean?

Dad, what's the matter?

I crashed into someone.

Where did it happen?

At the hamburger shop on Renmin Road.

How is that person doing then?

You see,

no one saw it.

I drank.

I can't afford to call the cops.

Duan Zhicheng!

Have you lost your mind?

How could you drive after drinking?

Are you out of your mind?

What were you thinking?

Jiaxu!

Jiaxu!

Jiaxu!

Don't call the cops.

Don't call them.

Dad, listen to me!

We have to save that person!

It'll get worse

if something happens to him!

Dad, you can't escape from this.

Dear,

go and turn yourself in.

We'll figure something out together.

I don't want to go to jail.

Dear, go and turn yourself in.

Jiaxu!

Dear!

A car accident happened outside

the hamburger shop on Renmin Road!

Please save him!

Go and turn yourself in!

Dad!

Dad!

Dear!

Dear!

(Dear!)

(Dear!)

You're back.

Why are you still awake?

You're making that again?

You came back late too.

Look at the time.

Did you skip dinner again?

I wasn't hungry. I was waiting for you.

I brought back some noodles for you.

You should put that aside.

Let's have dinner together.

You're wasting your money again.

They don't cost

that much.

Let me finish this first.

-Let's eat first. -Okay.

Try this.

I heard from my colleagues

that this restaurant was pretty good.

Here.

Other kids are enjoying themselves

after the college entrance exam.

But my son has to do two jobs

right after the exam.

And you work from morning until night.

It's because I'm young.

Young people should endure more hardships.

By the way, Mom,

I told

my boss

about the advance.

But he told me

that I could only take

half a month's worth as I'm a newcomer.

But that's fine.

I'll think of something else.

Just let me handle this.

I'll try to borrow money from our relatives.

You should stop borrowing money from them.

I'm serious.

Mom, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

After giving it some thought,

I think I won't attend university in Nanwu.

Right now, earning money is more important.

That won't do.

You have to attend university.

You see,

our family is in huge debt.

There's no need for me to attend university.

I will work in the morning

and do part-time jobs

at night.

We'll be able to repay the debt eventually.

You mustn't

let our mistakes

affect your future.

But you know that...

No buts.

You have to attend university.

If not,

don't call me Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

I'm fine. Maybe it's because I skipped dinner.

My tummy

is protesting.

How many times have I told you this?

You can't just skip your meals.

I'll get you some water.

Mom, time to eat.

Are you done with the discharging procedures?

You're not going to be discharged.

What are you doing?

Sit down and rest.

Mom,

you don't need to be discharged.

I managed to borrow 30,000 yuan

from my university friend.

You can stay here

and recuperate.

Jiaxu,

I feel much better now.

I feel like going home.

I'm serious.

You should return the money to your friend.

I already borrowed it from him.

Your health matters the most.

Rest well.

Son,

are you not tired

of owing other people money?

We cannot stand with our heads up high

until the day we finish repaying our debt.

I don't want you to be burdened

by this.

Mom, don't worry.

I can earn back

the money in the future.

Don't overthink it.

Now,

you should have your meal, okay?

I brought you some...

I'm begging you!

Can you please return the money to him?

We haven't finished repaying our debt yet.

And we still need to

take care of Ying and her mother.

We can't afford to borrow money from other people.

What if I die

and the debt is not repaid?

What will you do then?

Mom, you won't die.

What are you saying?

(What are you doing?)

[Sang Zhi]

[Duan Jiaxu]

(I just reached home.)

Hello, Jiaxu?

What's the matter?

What are you doing right now?

I'm in the dorm.

I'll go and see you.

Right now?

It's 8:30 PM.

We still have three and a half hours

before your curfew time.

Okay then.

I'll take you out for supper.

What do you want to have?

I'm fine with anything. I'm not hungry.

I'll...

Wait.

Don't wait.

Wait, I...

Hurry up.

What are you busy with lately?

Plenty of things.

I had lectures to attend,

assignments to finish,

and

a drawing exhibition to hold.

I was busy with my club too.

And I was waiting for someone to ask me out.

Lately...

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to stand you up.

There are just too many messy things

happening around me lately.

Messy things?

Those are just trivial affairs.

They're not important.

If so, why didn't you

ask me out then?

I didn't know

that you wanted me to ask you out.

Are you upset?

That's not it.

I feel like

you're upset.

Were you burned out from working too much?

That's impossible.

I'm finally having a meal with you

after so long.

I'm elated.

I'm serious.

If so,

give me a smile.

Wait here.

Where are you going?

Wait here.

I understand now.

You agreed to be my girlfriend.

Since when did I agree to that?

Why would someone make cotton candy

for an ordinary friend?

Ordinary...

And

you're wearing the bracelet I bought for you.

Jiaxu,

you...

You should stop being deceitful.

You won't be able to win my heart like this.

How can I win your heart then?

You can

surf the Internet

or ask other people

about it.

You should ask other people how to woo a girl.

How do I woo a girl then?

Must you ask me?

Can you teach me?

Anyway,

listen.

If we only

text each other,

call each other occasionally,

and meet each other

after a long time,

that definitely

won't do.

It's not online dating, you know?

Do you know how old you are?

Speaking of online dating,

I was suddenly reminded of something.

Someone was...

All right, that's enough.

That's enough.

Great job.

Please don't bring that up again.

I was just joking with you.

I'm serious.

Today,

I realized

my mistakes.

From today onward,

I will

be serious

and work hard

to court you.

I'm serious.

Great.

I will

look forward to your performance.

Are you free tomorrow?

Tomorrow morning?

I'm not free tomorrow morning.

I need to be at uni.

You still have lectures during the weekends?

That's not it.

An alumnus

is going to do a sharing session for us.

But...

I see.

But in the afternoon...

I guess I'll work overtime

tomorrow then.

It's fine.

I will work hard.

I said "But" loudly, didn't I?

Don't tell me he didn't hear me.

I'm looking forward

to this sharing session.

We should tell them to come.

All right.

I'll text them

right now.

Let's sit here.

Okay.

You should

text them right now.

I'll ask them on WeChat.

Sang,

I can't see

the blackboard clearly over here.

I'll sit in front.

Morning.

What's the matter?

[Future Career Plan] Who's that guy

beside Sang?

Is that her boyfriend?

I don't know.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you say

that there was a sharing session today?

Yeah.

That's why I inquired about the time

and location.

Don't you need to work today?

I'm taking time off in lieu.

So,

are you going to keep me company?

What are you saying?

We just met by coincidence.

Coincidence?

You've graduated from university

for almost two years.

And now, you're meeting a freshman like me by coincidence?

Look at your getup.

Do I look young?

It's pretty good.

If so, I'll stick to this style, then.

keeps staring at her.

He's so gentle.

(Why is he staring at me?)

(Maybe I should pretend to be asleep.)

I feel sleepy all of a sudden.
