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

[Episode 17]

What's wrong?

What are you doing, Duan Jiaxu?

What did you call me?

I mean,

what were you doing?

Given our current relationship,

I don't think it's right for you

to call me Duan Jiaxu.

You...

I wasn't asleep just now.

I know what you were doing.

So, you weren't asleep?

What was I doing then?

Tell me.

Lean closer. I don't want to say it out loud.

Closer.

You want to whisper it into my ear?

I don't know

what I did either.

That was unexpected.

Even though I did that

just now,

it doesn't mean

I have feelings

for you.

Understood?

I mean,

I haven't said yes.

Not having

feelings for me?

That means you were

just taking advantage of me.

Well...

You took advantage of me first.

Are you saying

that no matter what I do to you,

you will do the same to me?

That's not what I meant.

If you do this again,

I will tell my brother.

Go ahead,

tell him.

After all,

sooner or later, we'll have to tell everyone.

It's better to do this sooner.

I haven't said yes to you.

I've brainwashed you.

Jiaxu...

Stop looking at me.

Jiaxu,

you should leave.

If you stay here,

I can't focus on my lesson.

Hi, everyone.

[Future Career Planning]

Hi, senior.

I'm your senior.

My name is Wang Lin.

Your senior is here.

The theme

of today's sharing session

is future career planning.

Yes!

I know it might seem too soon

to talk about this

since you are just freshmen.

However,

I believe in being prepared for the future.

Left.

To the left, the left.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Yu Xin, look!

What is this?

Sang's "elder brother"

is with her in the classroom.

Look.

Seriously?

Yes.

He's attracting attention.

I think it's because

he bailed on Sang a few times before,

so this time

he came specifically to make it up to her.

It feels nice

to walk around

the campus.

Didn't you take walks

during your time at university?

I didn't.

I had no one to walk with me. Why would I do it?

Didn't my brother take walks with you?

Your brother takes walks with me?

Am I that desperate?

I'm going to tell him you said that.

If you enjoy taking walks,

I can keep you company today.

Chen Qiang, go for it!

Chen Qiang, go for it!

You are the best, Chen Qiang!

It's Wei.

Chen Qiang, you can do it!

Want to check it out?

Sure.

Let's go.

Go for it!

Chen Qiang, go for it!

You startled me.

You guys are here too.

Hi, guys.

You're here to watch the basketball game too?

He said he wants to check it out.

Look at Chen Qiang.

That's your boyfriend?

Yes.

He's cool, right?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay, Jiang Ming?

Jiang Ming!

Are you okay? Can you still play?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you hurt?

Are you okay?

Did you sprain your ankle?

Yes.

Lift your leg.

Use this iced tea.

Apply it here.

Thank you.

Let's go to the infirmary.

It's okay.

This is an old injury.

I'll get better after I get some rest.

We're short of one player now.

Why don't you guys

find someone to replace me?

Dude,

can you replace him?

Can I?

Can you play?

Come on.

Let's play.

Let's go.

Get some rest.

Please hold this for me.

Wait here for me.

You will defend him.

He's pretty good.

Sang,

your "elder brother" is pretty good.

Not just pretty good, okay?

He's perfect.

Sang is being courted by such a perfect guy.

She's so lucky.

Good job!

Good job!

Nice game!

♪Pink mist envelops our summer night date♪

Shot!

♪You make me a rapturous child♪

He's quite good.

Isn't that guy

Sang Zhi's brother?

You misunderstood.

They are not related.

Have some iced tea after the game.

Thanks.

[Chapter 17: Fallen. I want us to be together.]

Girls,

do you have any plans for the summer break?

Are you going home or traveling?

I'm not going home for the break.

No?

Where are you going then?

Chen Qiang and I have made plans.

We are planning

to travel during the summer break.

Really?

That's so romantic.

How nice.

A design company

has shown interest

in the game prototype

I designed.

I'm going to intern at their company

during the break.

Really?

Congratulations.

You're doing an internship during your freshman year?

That's right.

It's a great company.

I have to seize the opportunity.

Sang,

are you going home for the summer break?

I...

Or are you staying here to keep your "brother" company?

He's too busy.

I don't think he has time for me.

Actually, I don't want to go home during the summer break either.

So, I thought I'd talk to my mom

about it.

I think getting an internship in the summer

is better than spending time at home.

Agreed.

Totally agreed.

Yu Xin,

what do I need

to include in my resume?

For your resume,

it's important to highlight your specialty.

Let me take note.

And include your...

You're good at doing

system maintenance, right?

Just put

your system maintenance portfolio

on the first page.

Yes.

Put it in the most obvious section.

Yes.

And then...

[Sang Zhi]

(Yan.)

[Silly Dog] (What do you want?)

(I don't want to go home during the summer break.)

(I plan to get an internship here)

(to enrich my university life.)

(I don't want to waste my youth.)

(I want to make the most of my time while I'm young)

(and try everything I can.)

(So,)

(can you help me)

(talk to our parents about this?)

(If Mom still pressures you)

(to get married during Chinese New Year,)

(I'll speak up for you.)

Let me ask you,

is your postgraduate boyfriend

going home?

Listen,

you are coming home during the summer break.

(Listen to yourself.)

(I'm feeling embarrassed for you even through the screen.)

[Silly Dog]

(Don't call me.)

(I'm busy now.)

Yan,

I told you.

I'm staying here for the internship,

for work.

It's not about dating.

Besides,

the person I'm interested in

is older than you,

but not older than Dad.

Don't be so petty.

Just because you didn't date

in college

and can't find a girlfriend now,

you can't be jealous of me.

You need to be more magnanimous.

Don't get it wrong.

I'm not jealous at all.

And I have a girlfriend.

Plus, let me tell you,

don't become silly

just because you are dating someone.

Remember when you went to meet

that online friend of yours when you were in high school?

I would regard it as you being too young,

and it was just your rebellious phase.

You are coming home during the summer break.

I'm telling you,

if you dare not come back,

I'll fly there

and drag you back myself.

Who...

Who would believe that you have a girlfriend?

You are just fooling me.

And besides...

Besides,

I am staying

for an internship, for work.

If... If you don't agree,

I will tell Mom.

You are so annoying.

How come

you didn't ask Chen Qiang to join you?

The lecturer told him

to go and retake the test.

Let's have

dumplings again later.

Let's have noodles.

Let's have dumplings.

Let's have noodles.

Have noodles again.

It's really good.

Give me a minute.

Just a minute.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Jiang Ming.

Oh, hi.

This is for you.

My mom said

this works well for bruises and sprains.

Thanks.

What is going on?

At the basketball court yesterday,

you asked about Sang's brother...

It's okay.

Sang Zhi has found someone she likes.

I should be happy for her.

I'm glad you're okay.

They are talking and smiling.

Thank you for the ointment.

I'll return it to you when I'm done with it.

It's okay.

I'm leaving now.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

What's going on with you?

What's going on with you?

What's going on?

What's the situation?

I knew it.

I could tell that day on the court.

When he was injured, you rushed to him.

You...

You are quite something.

So, what's your plan?

Well...

What? Just go after him if you like him.

Don't hesitate.

Yu Xin,

you're catching on.

Get lost.

The video editing course this semester

wants us to do a people interview, right?

I was thinking of interviewing Jiang Ming.

Do you think

he would say yes?

He's right there.

Just ask him yourself.

It's a great opportunity.

You two can spend some time together.

Good for you.

You got some moves.

Impressive.

You are good.

Stop teasing me.

[The Dream Games]

Are you still in class?

Let's go

to that beef noodles restaurant later.

Sure.

[Sang Zhi]

(Are you off work?)

(Yes.)

[Duan Jiaxu]

(I thought you didn't have any classes this evening?)

(I have plans tonight.)

(What plans?)

I thought you said you had plans tonight?

I do.

I have to celebrate someone's birthday.

Happy birthday.

I forgot

that it was my birthday.

I understand.

Older people

don't like celebrating their birthdays.

Just like my dad.

Yes.

I'm getting older.

That's why

I hope you can

help me get married before I turn 27.

When you are 27,

I haven't even graduated yet.

So who are you going to marry?

It sounds like

you didn't refuse.

So I'll take it as a yes.

You're so shameless.

Of course.

I'm courting a young girl,

and it's someone

difficult like you.

I have to be shameless, of course.

So, you think I'm difficult?

By the way,

did my brother, Qian Fei, and the others

wish you a happy birthday?

They don't even remember

their own birthdays.

Why would they remember others'?

So, they didn't?

What about your colleagues?

Did they celebrate your birthday today?

They are all very busy.

They don't have time to care about something like this.

[Silly Dog] (Do you know)

(what day it is today?)

[Senior] (Remember to send me the design.)

Who are you texting?

A senior.

A senior?

What does he want?

It's about a school event.

Is he handsome?

Morally upright?

Is he a head taller than you?

He has a girlfriend.

I'm just asking.

[Sang Yan]

Why would my brother

suddenly call you?

How strange.

Yes.

I'll reject the call then.

Answer it.

Answer it.

Hello.

Hello, Duan Jiaxu.

I just remembered,

it's your birthday today.

Yes. So?

Congratulations, buddy.

Even at your age,

you still haven't got a girlfriend.

By the way,

let me ask you a question.

I'm hanging up.

Come on.

Hang on.

Did my sister give you the gift?

Yes.

That one is from me.

That's all.

I'm just calling to wish you a happy birthday.

By the way,

let me ask you a question.

Have you met

my sister's boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

Didn't I already tell you?

A postgraduate student.

I remember it now.

I think I've met him.

What kind of person is he?

That little demon is quite devoted.

She doesn't plan on coming home now.

She's staying in Yihe.

I don't know what charm

-he has exactly. -Yan.

Was that

my sister?

Is... Is she

with you now?

Yes.

Now that you've given him your wish,

you can hang up.

Don't tell me

you two...

No.

No.

Don't overthink it.

I haven't said anything yet,

and you're already denying it.

Why are you getting so worked up?

I know what you were going to say.

All right now.

You can hang up now.

Are you guys going to have dinner together?

Yes.

I can't be like you.

Being so heartless to your friend.

Also...

Why did you say

that gift was from you?

I bought that gift for him.

Isn't it a bit schmaltzy

for a grown man to celebrate his birthday?

Little demon,

don't stay out too late.

I'm hanging up now.

Just hang up.

Good night, buddy.

Have an early night.

Boyfriend?

What boyfriend?

I told him

that I'm about to date someone,

not that I'm already dating someone.

He misunderstood.

A postgraduate student?

Is it still possible for me to be a postgraduate student now?

Otherwise, how are we going

to explain it to your brother?

Maybe we can tell him

that you broke up

with that postgraduate student boyfriend

and got together with me.

That might work.

That's definitely not going to work.

When...

When did I get together with you?

That's so weird.

You've already come clean with your brother.

And you still won't admit that you like me?

Did you already know about it?

All right, joking aside,

let me ask you something.

really have no feelings for me?

Don't you find it strange

that I have feelings for you,

yet I won't agree to be with you,

and I made you keep courting me?

Didn't you say you only have

some feelings for me?

You probably don't like me enough to want to date me.

What if I never agree

[Happy birthday]

They are getting off work.

From here on, it's all on me.

Wait for me here.

I'll prepare a mysterious feast

for you.

I will come with you.

No need.

I'll go by myself.

It's very mysterious.

Handmade by me.

Thanks for the hard work.

Go home now.

Good luck.

Very soon.

Are you sure you can do it by yourself?

It's very simple.

You don't need any help?

I really don't. Go out.

Good luck.

It's very easy.

I'll be fine. Don't worry about me.

How is it?

Let me try it.

Don't try it.

Just take a photo as a remembrance.

I haven't tasted it,

so I think it's...

Is it edible?

It's good.

It's good?

Yes.

No way.

Let me try it.

-No. -Why?

You made this for me.

I have to finish it all by myself.

It must be awful.

It's really good.

Stop eating.

This year,

you can make three wishes.

Two wishes

can be spoken out,

and you have to keep the last one to yourself.

If you make too many wishes, they won't come true.

I only have one wish.

That's fine too.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

What did you wish for?

You know it.

Well,

your wish

is too easy to fulfill.

The answer's yes.

Are you saying

that you would be my girlfriend?

Because I want to

be by your side

for all your future birthdays.

Can I?

Of course you can.

Then,

I will cut the cake for you.

Birthday boy first.

What?

I just didn't expect you

to say yes so soon.

I feel today is very special.

How so?

Firstly, it's the first birthday

I've celebrated

with you,

and it's also

our first day together.

From now on,

I'll always be by your side.

By the way,

there are some things

I feel

I should let you know.

I don't think

I've told you before

about my family situation.

The thing is,

my mother has passed away.

And my father is

in a coma.

He was involved in a drunk driving accident that killed someone.

But I have already

paid off the compensation.

Right now,

I don't

own a house,

but I have a car.

I also have some savings.

I'm sorry

that I brought this up

out of the blue.

Please don't feel uncomfortable.

I'm not uncomfortable.

I'm just worried

that talking about these things

might make you sad.

Why would I feel sad?

Yet,

I'd admit that I might be a bit nervous.

Why?

I'm worried that you might mind.

I don't mind.

Sang Zhi, are we having a power outage?

I think so.

Okay.

Hello.

Girlfriend,

do you have time later?

Let's have lunch together.

I'm going to the library to study.

How about another day?

Can't you keep me company

instead of going to the library?

Let's do it another day.

All right, then.

Bye-bye.

What are you doing here?

The power is out.

There's nowhere to study.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was just about to go to the library.

The library you mentioned,

the one nearby, I know it.

It has very limited seating.

By now, all the seats would've been taken already.

Then...

There is a cafe ahead.

Let's go to my place.

Your place?

To study.

You haven't had lunch, right?

Perfect.

I'll make something delicious for you later.

You can cook too?

I got a lot of skills, you know.

Like what?

Like...

Change into slippers.

You can study

in my room later.

There's a desk inside.

I...

I can

just study here.

No need to go to your room, actually.

I'll be cooking here later.

Aren't you worried

about me disturbing your studies?

What are you thinking?

I've already tidied up the desk for you.

Study well.

Jiaxu,

what will you be doing

while I study?

I'll

just be sitting here.

You'll be sitting here?

I want to look at you more.

Welcome.

Hi.

Hi.

Excuse me,

do you provide personalized cakes?

Yes, we do.

I have a picture.

Can you make something like this?

Yes, we can.

When would you like to have it?

Next Monday. Can you make it?

Yes, we can.

Let me take it down.

Miss, what's your surname?

Sang.

8-inch.

Miss, your phone is ringing.

Have you taken a photo?

Yes.

Hello, Mom.

Hello, Zhi.

I was outside just now.

I just got home.

Did you say something

about the recipe for longevity noodles?

Is someone celebrating his birthday?

It's Jiaxu's birthday.

Oh, it's Duan.

You know I'm studying in Yihe.

And Jiaxu has been taking care of me a lot,

and he's all alone here.

So,

I thought

of making him

longevity noodles.

But

I'm sure

you make the most delicious ones.

You're becoming more considerate.

All right, I'll write down

the recipe for longevity noodles

and send it to you later.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Miss, here.

An 8-inch cake.

And you will collect it next Monday.

Will you be picking it up yourself?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay, the order is made.

Thank you.
