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

[Episode 24]

I've told you

the secrets I wanted

to hide forever.

Can...

Can't you believe

that you're truly a great person?

Considering

how much I like you,

can you not listen

to what people say?

Can you

be with me forever?

[Make loads of money to help with brother's debt]

Can you?

How do you fold this star?

I can't fold it after unfolding it.

After unfolding it, I...

These stars,

I'll keep them well.

What should I do now?

If I count them all,

I've made you cry so many times.

Yet, you're denying you're a crybaby.

Give me a hug.

♪When I passed by moonlight stars in your eyes♪

♪They were shining like none of them could be mine♪

There, there.

I know it all now.

♪I wipe off the dust because you're still there♪

♪I hide my wish under a band of stars like a clumsy kid♪

Why did you

suddenly tell me this?

I just wanted you to know.

But this time,

I don't have that rumored girlfriend

whom your brother mentioned.

I have

one official girlfriend now.

♪A fairy tale about the fallen Milky Way♪

So did you come back to Yihe

just to tell me this?

Because you said

you were considering something.

That's why I...

I was afraid you'll say over the phone

that you wanted to...

I was thinking if I talk to you in person,

it should be hard for you to bring it up.

Bring what up?

What were you thinking?

If

your parents didn't agree,

I would have snatched you and gotten our marriage certificate now.

I'm serious.

Why do you have to snatch me?

I'm afraid you'll run away.

When I said I was considering something,

I meant if I should accompany you

in Yihe for two years

and go back with you

after you graduate

or if I should go back to Nanwu first

and settle everything down

before waiting for you to come back.

What were you thinking?

♪Wherever u go♪

So that's what it is.

♪Tripping on my soul♪

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

Actually,

I could stay in Yihe too.

We can talk about this.

You don't have to give in to me all the time.

I really don't want to stay here.

Besides, if I don't give in to you,

who else should I give in to?

Little Missy,

what you need to do is simple.

Stay here and study hard.

Don't worry about anything else.

The most important thing

is to spend more time

with your boyfriend,

understand?

About your parents,

don't worry about it.

I'll find a time

and talk to them.

Smile.

Come on, smile.

[Chapter 24 Set Off [So near and yet so far]

(I have someone I really like.)

(But he)

(just doesn't like me.)

(But I will grow up.)

Then we'll talk about it when you grow up, okay?

But when that happens,

he would like someone else.

(It's okay.)

When you've grown up,

you'll find someone better.

Why did you drink?

What's wrong?

I'll get you something hot to drink.

Why did you wake up?

Are you in a bad mood?

I think

I treat you badly.

When did you treat me badly?

Is it because of what I said to you

at the airport today?

I told you

because I just wanted you to know.

Since you didn't know before,

that's why I wanted to tell you.

But I didn't want you to feel...

You treat me very well.

Whether it's the past or now,

you still treat me well.

It's true.

Sang Zhi,

I love you.

I'm sorry, Zhi.

I've said this too late.

Over the years,

I know

I've made you sad.

It was your unwavering dedication

that made me realize

that I'm not good enough.

My imperceptive

or indecisiveness.

None of it was good.

But for these shortcomings,

I'll try my best

to make it up to you

for every day we spend together.

Zhi,

I won't let you regret

the choice you made.

I love you, Sang Zhi.

Sang,

what are you drawing?

I found the theme for the competition.

What did I tell you?

You can't force ideas to come.

You need to clear your mind.

Inspirations will come after clearing your mind.

So, what's your theme?

Why are you being secretive?

Come in.

Siyun.

You came just in time.

Come here quickly.

Help me take a look.

I'm a bit indecisive

about which one of these two is better.

I think

this one is the best.

What is this?

Open it.

You've been staying up late working overtime lately.

So I bought you a gift.

Restorative honey?

Duan recommended it.

He sure knows what to pick.

This kid knows a lot of things.

It smells quite nice.

Come in.

Actually, I wanted to talk

to both of you about something today.

What is it?

I was thinking

after the upgrade of the Celestial Progression System

is completed,

I might have to resign.

Resign?

Why do you want to resign when things are going well?

Is another company trying to recruit you?

No.

I'm thinking of going back to Nanwu

to start my own business.

Nanwu?

For Sang Zhi?

If I'm not mistaken,

isn't she only in her second year of university?

When she graduates in a couple of years,

there's still time

before you can go back with her.

Come on.

Our "A Dream of Jianghu" studio

has a very promising future in planning for these years.

Have you thought it through

before deciding to leave now?

I have carefully considered it

before deciding to tell you now.

Some things have happened recently.

It made me realize

I may have not been good enough

to Sang Zhi.

I haven't done enough for her too.

Wait.

Duan, you overthink.

Both Siyun and I think

you treat Sang Zhi really well.

Actually,

her parents

may have some concerns about me.

Sang Zhi

is also upset

because of this.

But she

turned around and comforted me.

She's worried this matter

might hurt my self-esteem.

I actually understand

her parents' concerns.

But I'm older than her.

So I should be the one

solving these concerns.

I just want to go

to Nanwu as soon as possible.

After everything

has settled down,

I'll give myself more time

and a bit more chance to prove myself.

He's all grown up now.

A man should have a sense of responsibility.

Since you've already made up your mind,

Xun and I can't stop you.

Then we wish you all the best.

Thank you.

But

in today's economy,

it's not easy for young people

to start a business.

With your qualifications,

there aren't many reputable companies in Nanwu

that can hire you.

How about this?

You can apply to headquarters

to start your studio.

They can provide

some technical support

and follow-up expansion,

which would be relatively easier for you.

Look,

Siyun sure has thought it through.

Our company does have this policy.

If you need it,

Siyun and I will discuss this with the headquarters.

It would be great if it works out like that.

Thank you, Xun.

Thank you, Siyun Jie.

You're welcome.

If you create a successful game

in the future,

I'll have something to boast about.

I can say

I mentored this guy.

You

were still an intern

when you first came.

Look at you now.

So many years have passed.

Now that you're leaving,

I'm actually quite reluctant.

You can do it.

Yes, you'll make it.

Xun and I will support you.

All the best.

I'll do my best.

Hello?

The patient's condition is not optimistic.

Cherish the time

and talk to him for a few minutes.

Thank you, doctor.

It's been a long time

since I thought about that incident.

I don't want to

and I dare not think about it.

But I think

today should be the day I face it.

There should be a closure.

It's happened such a long time ago.

When you think about it,

you would have been released by now

if you didn't jump that time.

There are many things

I've never told you.

The compensation you owed

and those debts of yours,

I've paid them all off.

My mom...

She passed away several years ago.

Because of you.

Because we didn't have money.

At that time,

she knew she was sick

from cancer.

She didn't want to spend money.

That's why she didn't go to the hospital.

When she finally went,

the doctor said it was too late to treat her.

I used to hope so much

that you could see it all.

I wished you would wake up.

So you can see

everything that happened to us.

I wanted to see you feel guilty

and pain.

I just wanted you to understand.

If you didn't run away

and chosen to face

the punishment back then,

our lives

would have been so different.

But

I should thank you too.

Because of you,

I never dared to drink.

It's also because of you,

I learned what responsibility is

and what it means to take on something.

Now,

I can say I'm a decent person.

At least I have the ability

to protect the people I love.

I really wish

you could see it.

All right, then.

If you go there

and meet Mom,

apologize to her sincerely.

You can rest now.

Dad.

Why are you here?

What's with this expression?

I know

this day will come.

I know.

I know you're sad.

I know that.

Okay. It's all right.

Am I really getting old now?

Why are my parents no longer here?

Mom,

you haven't met her, right?

[In Memory of Beloved Mother Xu Ruoshu]

This is Sang Zhi.

I

told you about her before.

Now,

she's my girlfriend.

Mom,

I might

settle down in Nanwu.

But don't worry.

I'll come and visit you every year.

I came today

mainly to tell you

that Dad has also passed away.

He passed away

quite peacefully.

You don't have to worry.

I fulfilled his wish

and found a clean place

for him.

I wonder

if you two

will meet over there.

But if you do...

Never mind.

As long as both of you are happy

and content.

Aunt, hello.

I'm Sang Zhi.

You don't have to worry.

Duan Jiaxu

is a very kind

and outstanding person.

He treats people well and very sincere.

He excels in his studies

and perform well at work.

To me,

my parents,

and everyone,

he's

a very good person.

Although some bad things

had happened in the past,

he never

gave up on himself.

Instead, he worked hard

and endured everything

with a lot of hardship.

If only you can see

how excellent he is now,

I'm sure you must have some regrets

and worries too, right?

But don't worry.

I'll take good care of him.

I'll make it up for him

and make sure

he's happy every day.

So, I promise you

that as long as I, Sang Zhi, am here,

I won't let anyone

bully Duan Jiaxu again.

He'll have his family in the future.

He has me and many others

who love him.

We all love you.

So,

you'll never

be alone anymore.

Okay?

Don't cry.

If you cry,

your mom

will think I'm bullying you.

The smoke hurts my eyes.

You promised.

You promised in front of my mom

that you'll protect me.

Yes, I'll protect you.

Come here.

Let me protect you for a while.

Come and get me.

Come after me.

I can even stand as I cycle.

(That girl)

(who used to sit in the back seat)

(suddenly grew up one day.)

(She can always accompany me,)

(walk side by side with me.)

(She accompanied me)

(overcome my longest darkness hour.)

(She even took the lead)

(and waited for me)

(in the sun.)

Come on!

Coming!

♪And bring me joy and beauty♪

♪The moon in the sky is our secret code♪

♪Even when a storm is coming♪

♪We can give a warm hug to each other♪

♪I have so much to talk with you about happiness♪

I've submitted my resignation to Siyun.

Why?

Didn't I tell you before?

You don't necessarily have to go back to Nanwu.

I wanted to go back.

I want to go back

earlier

to settle everything down.

When you graduate and come back to Nanwu,

you can immediately start a good life.

Besides, your family is there too.

I can start my business

anywhere, right?

Anywhere could be my home

as long as you're with me.

Didn't you say

that after all the bad things

are over,

the rest

would be good things.

So, the two of us

just need to focus on the future,

our future.

Okay?

How long will you be here before leaving?

After finishing the handover procedures,

about a month later.

A month?

So soon.

Are you feeling reluctant?

No.

But I feel reluctant.

Don't worry.

We'll have many opportunities to meet.

I'm making supper for you.

Supper?

Glutinous rice balls.

How about six glutinous rice balls?

Is that okay?

Okay, that's enough.

That's too much water.

Is it?

Let me do it.

That's about it.

I'm going to miss you after I leave.

What should I do?

If you miss me,

you can eat the candy I gave you.

Okay?

Or you can bring the polar bear with you.

What would you do

if you miss me?

I'll leave the polar bear with you.

If you miss me, you can look at it.

Just like I'm right beside you,

okay?

It's not done yet.

Do you want...

What are you thinking about?

Why don't you leave and get some rest?

I'll finish up soon.

How about...

All right.

I've called a car for you.

Send me a message

after getting in the car.

The airport is so far.

If I knew,

I wouldn't have let you come to see me off.

How could I not come to see you off?

I don't want you to leave.

I know.

Don't worry.

After I go there,

I'll come and visit see you whenever I have time.

I won't make you wait too long.

Listen.

Once you're back in Nanwu,

you need to eat on time.

You

must have three meals a day.

But I'll remind you.

And also,

don't think

about other things.

Don't be concerned about them.

Just focus on your work

and work hard.

You can work hard.

But don't stress yourself too much.

If

the business start-up really fails,

it's okay.

Since...

Since I can...

You can what?

I'll provide for you.

After I graduate, I can provide for you.

You always say you'll provide for me.

Then I'll just wait.

All right, then.

I better get going now.

You don't have to send me anymore.

Okay?

After getting in the car,

you must text me, okay?

I'm going now.

Be good.

Just up until here.

I really have to go now.

Go back quickly.

Text me when you get in the car.

Remember to text me.

What's wrong?

I have a feeling

that you have something to tell me.

After you go to Nanwu,

can we

have video calls every day?

Of course we can.

Then

don't you find it burdensome?

Do you find it burdensome?

No.

Me too.

Try this first.

Okay.

Also,

we'll be in a long-distance relationship.

So

we should still maintain some sense of ceremony.

Like when it's the anniversaries

or celebrating certain holidays,

I can come to Nanwu to see you

and you can come to Yihe to see me.

Of course.

Then I should go and visit you.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean by that?

Are you saying

that I usually don't have a sense of ceremony?

No, it's not that.

So, you agree with it, right?

Of course.

Good.

And also,

if we have an argument...

We won't argue.

But if we do,

we'll make up on the same day.

No silent treatment, no disappearing.

Make up on the same day we quarrel.

Well said.

Trust.

We trust each other.

Actually...

If...

What are you reading?

Wait.

"Guide to maintaining a long-distance relationship"?

You know

many problems occur

in long-distance relationships.

So

I summarized them in advance

and develop them into a guide.

So you don't trust me

and worried about me.

No.

I'm pretty worried about you.

I think your guide

is done very well.

You should strictly follow it

in the future.

Me?

Quickly send me a copy.

You can also summarize it for yourself, right?

I'm serious.

What you wrote is really good.

Wait.

"We can have arguments.

But we shouldn't argue

in front of others."

Oh,

because it's a matter

of preserving our image.

"You don't have to reply to messages instantly.

But if you see them, you should reply."

That's right.

If you see them, you should reply.

That's right.

You have to reply once you see it.
