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

[Episode 18]

Jiaxu,

what would you do

while I'm doing my revision?

I'd

be sitting here.

Sit here?

I want to get more glances at you.

Is that enough for you?

If you don't leave,

I won't be able to focus.

Can't I stay here quietly

without saying a word?

You said you won't

get in the way of my studies.

All right, then.

You're such a cruel girlfriend.

Go ahead and do your revision.

What do you want to eat later?

I'll make something delicious for you.

Our dear Zhi has been studying hard.

I'm fine with anything

as long as you made it.

Okay.

Then,

let me know what you want to have later.

Jiaxu,

why does it feel like

you're taking care of a kid?

That's what I'm doing.

I'm afraid

someone might steal my kiddo.

[Chapter 18: Captivated. The taste of first love.]

Jiaxu,

I think your cooking

is really nice.

Do you like it?

Not everyone gets to taste it.

You're the first one.

-I'm done eating. -I'm done eating.

You're done eating?

Are you done, too?

Give it to me.

I'll do the dishes.

You should get some rest.

I can do the dishes.

Let me help you with something.

You already cooked just now.

So I'll do the dishes.

You can rest.

Okay.

Then I'll bring the dishes to you.

Okay.

Just leave them here.

Here.

Don't you know how to do housework?

Why don't I take over?

I'll learn after doing it a few times.

Why do you need to learn?

I never said you have to learn.

I can't

let you do everything yourself in the future.

I was thinking

too far ahead.

I know.

So after this,

do you want to hang out with me in the living room

or rest for a while?

I haven't finished my revision.

You're going to continue it?

Aren't you sleepy?

Why don't you take a nap?

I'm not sleepy.

You sure are serious about your studies.

I'm aiming for a scholarship.

Okay.

Our dear Zhi is truly diligent.

I'll help you with the dishes.

(I'm sleepy.)

(Why am I so sleepy?)

(Hello.)

(Long time no see.)

(I'll take a five-minute nap.)

(I should take a five-minute nap.)

(Five minutes will do.)

Do you want something to drink, Zhi?

I'm coming in now.

Where is she?

Where did she go?

What are you doing?

I'm memorizing

some vocabulary.

Why are you doing it on the floor?

It's more exciting.

It's less likely to feel sleepy this way.

Exciting?

You like excitement, huh?

Then let's make it exciting.

Duan Jiaxu,

what kind of mischief are you up to?

We're already together.

How can it be called mischief?

Tell me.

How did you end up under the bed just now?

I was doing my revision.

Then I was so sleepy. So I wanted to take a nap.

But I told you

about my determination just now.

Well...

If you saw me sleeping,

I'm afraid you'd think

I don't want to talk to you.

So...

I'm not that petty.

Go ahead and have a nap.

I'll wake you up later.

Lie down.

Well,

won't you feel bored?

A little bit.

But

I'm already happy

that you're doing your revision here.

Take your nap now.

What's wrong?

Jiaxu,

it's not

that I don't like

you being like this.

It's because I get nervous

when you get close to me.

I don't know why.

So,

I just want to tell you

that it's not that I don't like you.

That means you like me.

Well...

It's just too...

I get it.

If so,

we'll see how it goes.

Take your nap now.

Call me if you need anything.

You eat it.

Maybe I should have one.

What flavor do you want?

Any flavor will do.

This one, then.

Give out the candy or hold hands?

Hold hands or hold hands?

Well, hold hands it is.

Why are you asking this so seriously?

Can I hold your hand?

♪Every inch of the wound is softly veiled within the halo's radiance♪

Lately,

you've been applying for internships?

I've sent my resume to several companies.

But I haven't received any reply yet.

Why do you suddenly want to do an internship?

Because

I want to give it a try.

Thank you.

Jiaxu.

When other people hold hands,

they either do it when crossing the street

or hold hands

by accident.

No one would do what you did

and ask if they could hold hands.

That was so strange.

I chose to do it that way

because I made you upset

when I kissed you

without asking.

I wasn't mad.

I was...

nervous.

I know.

Now,

you became my girlfriend out of a sudden.

Do you find it hard to get used to?

Not at all.

Don't overthink.

I know I haven't told you this.

But I really like you.

I really, really do.

Me too.

I like you very much, too.

[Duan Jiaxu] (You have to wake up early tomorrow.)

(So go to bed early.)

(Good night.)

Hello?

Hey, Duan Jiaxu.

Next week,

I'm going to Yihe for a business trip.

This time you have to treat me

to something delicious.

Stop buying me fried chicken and milk tea

to brush me off.

Okay, no problem.

This time, I'll treat you

to a seafood feast, how about that?

Why are you suddenly being so generous?

There must be a reason behind this abnormal behavior.

Brat,

could it be

that you've gotten the girl?

Yeah.

Not bad!

You have to thank me for this, no?

If it weren't for me, would you have gotten the girl?

Yes, that's why

you can order anything you want to eat.

Okay?

How nice.

That means you'll get married

earlier than Sang Yan.

We must provoke him a little.

I can't stand him anymore.

No,

I'm going to do it now.

Hey.

What are you doing?

[Qian Fei] (Xu has a girlfriend now!)

(And I made it happen!)

(I need)

(the applause of worship and admiration now.)

(@Sang Yan.)

Bro,

I have to admit something to you.

There's something I haven't been honest with you about.

What is it?

You know this girl, too.

I know her?

You're in Yihe, and I'm in Nanwu.

How do I know her?

You didn't meet her in Yihe.

Not in Yihe?

Do we have any juniors

who work in Yihe?

I can't seem to recall it.

She's studying at a university in Yihe.

Study?

Don't tell me

it's Sang Zhi.

Okay, that's all. Bye.

What?

Seriously, man.

I really have to thank you for this.

Why are you thanking me?

Did I help you with anything?

When you first met Sang Zhi,

she was a kid

at the age of 14. How could you...

Tell me.

Have you told Sang Yan about this?

I haven't told him yet.

When are you planning

to tell him?

I planned

to go back to Nanwu and tell him in person.

I think it's better

to tell him in person about this matter.

Oh, right.

I have to recall

the message quickly.

If he reads it, he'll keep asking me.

Sang Yan is calling me.

Why did you even send that text?

Answer it.

If you don't,

there's no way to explain it.

I'm telling you first.

I have nothing to do with this.

You need to be honest with him.

See you, bye.

How about this?

You'll accompany me.

If you're not around,

I don't know

what I can do if I said

something wrong.

[Sang Yan invites you to join a group call]

[Others joining the call include:]

Hey, Duan Jiaxu.

Do you not have a brain?

Or is your brain covered in mold?

I can't believe you asked Qian Fei

to help you woo a girl.

What's wrong with asking me?

It's not like that.

You should ask me about things like this.

How could you ask him instead of me?

But then again,

I don't go after others.

Usually, it's the others who are crazy about pursuing me.

It's more suitable asking Qian Fei.

He's good at pursuing others.

Go away.

Tell me

who that unlucky girl is.

She's indeed pretty unlucky.

But

I still need to thank Qian Fei

for his help this time.

What does that have to do with me?

I... I...

Duan Jiaxu, you were the one who pursued her.

What did I even help you with?

Besides,

I didn't pursue my wife.

My wife pursued me.

You really didn't help him with it?

Qian Fei, why are you so agitated?

Am... Am I?

I don't know anything.

Why would I be agitated?

Qian Fei,

you're acting a bit strange.

You could brag about this for three years.

But you're actually denying it.

Maybe I've become mature

tonight.

I can't believe you two.

Trying to exclude me, huh? Fine.

Sang Yan,

I'll be back in Nanwu in a while.

I'll tell you in person.

Okay.

The little demon will be on summer vacation at that time, too.

You two better help me

bring her back home, okay?

Okay.

Qian Fei!

Guys, my wife is calling me.

I have to go now. Bye.

What was that?

[Sang Zhi] (I was taking my shower.)

(So I didn't read your text.)

(I'm going to bed now.)

(Good night.)

Good night.

(Are you recording?)

You don't have to be so nervous.

You can relax a bit.

Just like how we usually talk.

I'll edit

these materials.

So don't worry.

Okay.

Let's get started.

What qualities

do you think an athlete needs

to possess in the first place?

(I guess it's perseverance)

(and tenacity.)

Every time we face any difficulties

in a competition,

we have to grit our teeth and persist.

Every time we fall,

we have to work hard to stand up

and move toward

our next goal.

What do you think is the most difficult thing

in this process?

It should be

when I can't do the training.

I remember when I was playing basketball with my classmates

in Grade 11,

I suffered an impact on the chest

and my ribs were fractured.

The doctor told me

I have to rest for a while.

(At that time, I kept thinking,)

(what if I really can't play sports anymore?)

(What else can I do?)

So did you think of anything?

No.

I only know

that sports are what I loved the most.

So for sports,

I must cherish my body more

and work hard in my training

to prepare

for the next competition.

Actually,

that's the life of an athlete.

Being devoted to something you love.

It's pretty boring, right?

Not at all.

I completely understand your feelings

about being devoted to something you love.

[Term Paper]

"At the beginning of an intimate relationship,

both of them are all smiles

and full of happiness.

When they gaze into each other's eyes,

there's always love in their eyes.

But once the dream starts to shatter,

the smile turns into a frown,

and the love in the eyes

transforms into anger,

even hatred.

So what exactly had happened here?

Why..."

Why aren't you writing your paper?

You scared me.

We told you to write your paper here.

After two hours, you only typed two words,

"Term Paper".

Wei,

are you planning not to submit your paper?

I'm really out of ideas.

Tomorrow, okay?

I'll go to the library tomorrow.

I'll read extensively.

Once I get some inspiration,

I can definitely start writing it.

Come here.

I'm really going tomorrow.

What time did you go that day?

Were there any seats left?

I'll go tomorrow.

So what time?

Around nine o'clock is fine.

There will definitely be seats at the time.

I didn't go to the library that day.

You didn't?

That's impossible.

You came back very late that day

after your revision.

Where did you go that day?

I did have my revision.

But

I wasn't at the library.

Where were you, then?

I did my revision at his place.

Look at this.

Wait.

His... His place?

Why did you even do your revision when you were at his place?

Both of you were alone together.

[Intimate Relationship] How sweet.

So did you

kiss?

Wei...

Don't say anything.

He made the move,

right?

I knew it.

Older guys sure

are more experienced.

I want to ask you something.

What is it?

When you and Chen Qiang

have intimate moments,

do you get nervous?

Nervous?

Why would I be nervous?

He should be nervous, not me.

You know what?

When we just started dating,

he even dared not hold my hand.

It really made me frustrated.

But he's more relaxed now.

He even accused me of farting

when he was the one who did that.

Cute, right?

Wait a minute.

You weren't nervous, were you?

I was nervous.

Well...

Maybe I look upset

when I get nervous.

I even explained it to him

because I was scared he'd misunderstand me.

I told him it's not that I didn't like it.

But I still think that he...

I don't think he would misunderstand you.

But when a couple are together,

they should get along as usual.

There's no need to be so cautious.

But if every little thing

needs an explanation,

it can get annoying over time.

But then again,

are you being nervous

out of habit?

What do you mean?

I mean,

are you always afraid that he'll find out

that you've liked him since then?

There's a possibility.

But

you're together now.

It's common

for normal couples

to have some physical contact

when they spend time together.

Besides, Sang,

I don't think

you're that timid.

I don't know

if you're complimenting or mocking me.

I'm encouraging you.

When you're in a relationship,

you should enjoy it.

You should enjoy the process of being in love.

Of course, this process

includes physical contact.

Got it?

♪Love is when butterflies flutter in my heart♪

♪And ripples of excitement sprawling across my vision♪

But

I've already reacted that way.

Won't he overthink?

Overthink?

How about this?

You can take the initiative

and show him through your actions

that it's not that you don't like it,

but you actually like it.

I think this could work.

We're already dating.

I'm his girlfriend.

So intimate gestures are normal.

That's right.

I don't think

there's anything to be nervous about.

Exactly.

Write your paper.

I really can't think of anything.

I'll go to the library tomorrow.

Spare me this time.

Please spare me.

Spare me, please.

Please spare me, Sang.

[Sang Zhi] (Jiaxu,)

(are you working overtime this weekend?)

(Let's go on a date.)

♪To find out if you like me too♪

[Duan Jiaxu]

(Sure.)

(Anything you want.)

Then we're all set now.

Let me fix the lace for a bit.

Did you not sleep well?

You look exhausted.

How so?

You just look tired.

I'm fine.

I slept soundly last night.

We don't have to

do this.

We can go out for a walk

or have something delicious.

I thought you really wanted to do this.

Are you that worried about me?

I haven't tried this in a long time.

I've been waiting to show off my skills.

Let me help you with that.

Slow down.

Hold onto the railing.

I want to remind you of something.

What is it?

I'm going

to kiss you today.

I wasn't planning

to tell you this.

But...

But

I was afraid you would find it too sudden.

You're not nervous, are you?

I... I'm okay, too.

So,

were you giving me a heads-up?

If

you're not willing to do that today or...

I am.

So,

who's going to initiate it? You or me?

Of...

Of course that would be me.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Okay.

Three.

-Two. -Two.

One.

You can do it.

Just like that.

You can do this.

Come to me.

[Yihe University]

Okay, time's up.

Please stop writing.

Flip your exam papers over.

Take your belongings with you

and leave the classroom.

Yu Xin.

Let's go. Stop it.

All right.

Where's Wang?

Wang.

What are you looking at?

What is it?

The last question

about the characteristics of communication,

how many points did you write?

Oh, that one.

It was covered in the previous mock exam.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

How come I didn't notice this question?

Where was it?

Timeliness, audience reach,

and wide coverage.

It's okay, Wei.

You see,

even if you saw the question,

you wouldn't know the answer, right?

The result would have been the same, wouldn't it?

So it's okay.

Well, that's true.

Forget it. I'll make it up in the next semester.

But tonight,

everyone must join the celebration.

Everyone must go.

Do you hear me?

-Okay. -Got it.

Sang,

did your parents agree

to let you stay and have an internship in Yihe?

No, they didn't.

Why not?

Doing an internship is good.

-You can get to know the workplace. -That's right.

It's not that they don't want me to do an internship.

They just don't want me

to do it in Yihe.

They found me an internship

in Nanwu,

and they want me to go back there.

Then go back to Nanwu.

But I still feel

that staying in Yihe

may get me more opportunities.

Do you think staying in Yihe

has more job opportunities

or do you think your boyfriend

who is staying in Yihe is better?

Stop teasing me.

Hello?

Yes, this is Sang Zhi.

All right.

Okay.

Got it.

What's wrong?

I passed my interview.

I've read

the file you sent.

Tonight,

I'll step up to work on it.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me

the direction to the cafe?

There's a nice cafe

over there.

Over there, right?

Okay.

Can I add you on WeChat?

Sorry.

If my girlfriend

finds out,

I'm dead meat.

Sorry for bothering you.

No problem.

Are you angry?

No.

Drink it.

If you're not angry, why aren't you even looking at me?

And you're pouting.

She just wanted to add you on WeChat.

What's there to be mad about?

You're really not angry?

No.

Are you jealous, then?

No.

When I saw you acting like this,

I thought you were jealous.

Are you really not jealous?

I am.

Just now,

I saw you flirting with her.

Me?

How did I flirt with her?

You did this.

That's not it.

She asked me

about the location of the cafe.

So I...

I told her

it's over there. That's all.

Couldn't you have told her properly?

Did you have to do this?

I'm not talking to you.

Okay.

Sorry to bother you.

Can I add you on WeChat?

Sorry,

I have a boyfriend.

Okay, then.

This watermelon looks pretty good.

Let's go.

What's wrong? Are you angry?

I'm not.

Are you jealous?

How is that possible?

He just asked for your WeChat contact.

What's there to be jealous about?

Wait.

I didn't give it to him.

But I saw you flirting

with him just now.

When did I flirt with him?

He didn't even ask for directions.

You did this to him.

What was that?

I said, "Sorry,

I have a boyfriend."

What do you have?

A boyfriend.

Present.

Let's go.
