[You are My Fateful Love] [EP23]

If the Poet didn't get hand on

those specific details,

he could never have the exact same ideas as mine.

Mingying.

Did you save these details

anywhere else?

Besides the USB drive,

it's only on my computer.

Could it be...

My computer was hacked?

Who would hack your computer?

Cen Sisi.

Shican.

This new song you wrote in Shen'ao

is getting good feedback.

It is a nice payday.

Shican's talent is beyond question.

Talent needs promotion too.

Shican, you know

hype...

you can't rely on personal ability alone.

This single of yours

achieved this result

because the company put in a lot of effort.

I thank everyone for hard work.

As long as you know.

So you must not let

everyone's hard work on you go to waste.

Even though you have hype now,

you still need to go to events,

take the endorsements.

Don't be picky.

Fans will buy anything anyway.

You're right.

But looking at these recent endorsement

offers,

they're pretty thin.

You call that thin?

Bro,

our hype has increased lately,

so the value has gone up.

During this time, we should strike while the iron is hot

and make a new album.

Then the endorsements we get

won't be at this level anymore.

So,

you have ideas for a new album?

I've been having a lot of inspiration lately.

Making a mini album won't take long.

Alright.

Looks like that trip to Shen'ao was worthwhile.

You've wised up.

Then hurry and prepare your new album.

I'll postpone these endorsements.

Take good care of Shican.

Shican.

What are you...

[Shican.]

[Are you free to talk on the phone right now?]

Hacking the computer?

That shouldn't be possible.

Then it's really strange.

Cen Sisi is still getting treatment abroad,

she's been doing much better lately.

I'll ask her for you

if anything like that happened.

Okay, thank you, Shican.

No trouble.

Asking about this...

Did something happen?

Xu Huaisong didn't help you handle it?

Nothing happened.

He...

He's been busy abroad lately,

so I won't bother him.

I'll let you go too.

Congratulations on your successful single release.

You go ahead.

Okay.

[On your way back from shopping, ]

[bring some fruit.]

[Zhou Jun finished his project]

[and insisted on coming to thank me in person.]

[He said since tomorrow is the weekend, ]

[he'll bring his girlfriend.]

[This kid]

[is so polite.]

[Then tomorrow, we'll take the two kids] [to that nearby farmhouse restaurant]

[for a meal.]

[Yesterday you said the novel, ] [you've finished writing it.]

[So you have time] [to come back for a visit?]

[We'll treat you too.]

[So I'm just an afterthought, huh?]

After the suspect was released,

things got even worse.

Neighbors gossip about our family.

The victim's family

comes to harass us every few days,

throwing paint, smashing eggs.

They also say my father

is an accomplice to a murderer.

What case is this?

How come I've never heard of it.

Still reading so late.

Oh, right.

The doctor said Mr. Xu's condition

has stabilized,

and he can be discharged in a couple of days.

If you're busy, you can head back first.

I'll keep an eye on things here.

It's okay.

It's only a couple more days.

I see you've been reading this book lately.

It is...

I'm preparing

for the national judicial exam.

Alright, then you go ahead.

I won't disturb you. I'll go to the bathroom.

Okay, thanks.

No problem.

[Sis, just letting you know, ]

[I'm home.]

[Okay.]

[Don't worry about your brother and me.]

[We'll sort it out ourselves.]

[Focus on your studies.]

Actually, your brother and I

have only really known each other

for a little over half a year.

What's wrong?

The USB drive I used to save the outline isn't lost.

Then how did the Poet

get my ideas?

Why didn't I

just say that earlier.

No, no.

Strange.

Why are both

not answering.

Mom.

I haven't rested well these days.

And overslept a bit today.

I'm heading out now.

If I'm late,

you and dad can eat first. Don't wait for me.

Hello.

[Hello, is this Ms. Ruan?]

Speaking.

[Ms. Ruan, ]

[this is Fang Zhen from the Hang City Public Security Bureau.]

[Your father...]

Hello, Huai... Huaisong?

Hello, Ruan Yu.

What exactly is happening?

I... I don't know

what exactly is happening.

To... today,

Zhou Jun was supposed to bring Yao Xin

to my parents' home for dinner.

But for some reason,

Zhou Jun came alone.

And then...

I... I don't know what happened,

and the police came looking for Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun didn't want

to go with them.

He... in his panic,

he... he took my father hostage.

The p... police just told me that much.

Are you safe now?

Where are you?

I'm in a police car.

I'm on my way there now.

The way to there...

Ruan Yu.

Don't be scared.

Calm down and listen carefully to me.

Okay.

In this kind of situation,

SWAT, firefighters, and medical personnel

will definitely be on the scene

immediately.

Our country's

hostage rescue success rate

is very high.

The police's principle is always

to prioritize the hostage's

life safety.

The worst-case scenario

is, in an emergency,

to ensure

the hostage's safety

by neutralizing the captor.

So regardless of why Zhou Jun

took the teacher hostage,

trust the police,

cooperate with them.

The teacher will be fine.

Okay.

I know.

I know.

Let me know

immediately if anything happens.

Don't come closer!

Don't push me!

Step back! I said step back!

All of you get down! Get down!

Mom.

Yu, you're here.

Look at your father.

I told you not to come closer!

Mom, what exactly is going on?

I...

I can't explain clearly.

When he came, he said he

was in a bad mood.

Seems like he argued with his girlfriend.

Then your father and I

tried to comfort him for a long time.

Everything was fine then...

It was fine.

Mom, don't cry.

It's okay.

Later, his phone was run out of battery.

He... he plugged it in

to charge and turned it on.

As soon as he looked, he said something about trouble,

and rushed out.

Then the police... the...

The police arrived.

Okay, Mom, don't... don't be scared.

The police will handle it.

They'll figure it out.

Officer,

what exactly did this kid do?

He's usually such a good kid.

What happened to him?

Mrs. Ruan, we can't disclose

specific case details for now. Captain Fang.

The suspect's emotions

is very volatile.

He's very resistant to our negotiations.

Should we use forceful measures?

Observe a bit longer.

Um, Officer,

this forceful measure you mentioned,

is it aimed at Zhou Jun?

Officer,

could I go up and try to talk to him?

You can't go. It's so dangerous up there.

You can't go. Mom...

Calm down, listen to me.

Zhou Jun and I were close

in high school.

I've also met him a few times recently.

If I go up, maybe he won't be as

defensive.

I might be able

to calm him down.

Well...

Go get a concealed earpiece

for Ms. Ruan.

Okay.

We'll maintain communication with you through the earpiece,

and tell you

hat to say to the suspect.

Remember, do what you can.

The police are right behind you.

Okay.

If anything happens,

retreat immediately.

We have other means

to ensure your and your father's safety.

Okay. Don't worry, Mrs. Qu.

Cui, be careful. Listen to the officer.

Take care of yourself. Don't be scared, Mom.

Be careful, Yu.

Watch out. This way.

Don't worry, Mrs. Qu.

Don't come up! No one come up!

I said don't let anyone up!

Zhou Jun, it's me.

I'm Ruan Yu. Yu.

You...

I'm alone.

Kid,

don't be afraid.

Yu is just a girl.

She won't hurt you.

Zhou Jun, don't be scared.

Just don't move. Okay.

Tell him you trust him.

I trust you, Zhou Jun.

I didn't kill Yao Xin.

I've never killed anyone.

I didn't kill her.

Ruan Yu, I didn't kill her.

Zhou Jun.

The police just want you to cooperate with the investigation.

You... you trust them,

okay? Since you didn't...

I trust them...

No one will believe me.

Careful!

Okay, okay! I'm not moving.

Careful!

No one will believe me.

Her parents, the police,

they all think I killed her.

Why...

Why, right before she died,

did she call and say I killed her.

Why.

Too many coincidences,

too many coincidences all point to

me killing her.

Ruan Yu,

go find Xu Huaisong, okay?

His father can turn

black into white, can't he?

Go find him.

He can definitely save me. Only he can save me!

Go find him, I'm begging you, okay?

Please!

Zhou Jun,

no one has the power

to turn black into white.

What decides right and wrong

is only right and wrong itself.

As long as you didn't kill anyone,

no amount of coincidences

can convict you.

Trust the police,

trust the prosecutors, okay?

Okay? No...

What if they can't find

evidence against someone else?

Earlier, Yao Xin

was arguing with me,

she said she'd make me regret it.

Right.

If it was someone else,

how could she call out for help,

scream my name,

shout at me to let her go.

Exactly. This is

how she makes me regret it.

No, Zhou Jun.

That phone call

might not mean that.

Do you think

that final call of hers,

is it possible she intended to call you?

She said,

"Help! Let go of me, Zhou Jun!"

Maybe it doesn't mean

"Let go of me, Zhou Jun!"

But "Help me, Zhou Jun!"

She was calling out to you for help.

[He believes your explanation.]

[Keep him stable.]

Calling out

to me for help?

That's right. [Make him believe his girlfriend]

[was calling out to him.] [Hurry.]

What?

In her final moments,

she had already forgotten your argument.

She just wanted to call out to you for help.

Zhou Jun.

She just wanted to call out to me for help...

Yes.

It's okay, Dad.

Got him. It's okay, Dad.

It's okay. Are you okay?

I'm fine, fine.

It's over.

She just wanted to call out to me for help.

It's over.

Dong. Captain Fang.

Be careful.

Evidence. Okay, it's okay.

Slowly.

Child... Chengru.

Mom. Lanlan. Honey.

You scared me to death, Lanlan.

It's okay, Mom. Are you okay, babe?

Lanlan, Chengru.

It's okay, it's okay.

You scared me.

Yu, are you alright?

Dad remembers you

aren't you afraid of...

Zhou Jun, right? Take him away.

That really scared me to death.

It's okay, babe. I'm here.

You don't know, watching from the front just now,

it was so high, it scared me to death!

It's okay, okay, okay.

So scared.

Come, come, come. We're home, we're home.

Alright, stop crying.

Someone who didn't know

would think I wasn't rescued.

What nonsense are you talking.

Even if I were blind,

I'm not mute.

Can't I talk now.

Alright, enough, enough.

Let's not argue today.

Let's be peaceful and safe.

Yes, safe and sound.

I was just worried about your dad. Honestly.

Didn't I come back

safe and sound.

Alright, alright.

Sit down, rest for a while, Mom and Dad.

Our daughter was so scared today,

wasn't she?

Safe and sound is best.

Mom, Dad's fine.

What about me.

Oh,

look at you crying.

As long as you're okay.

I wonder how that Zhou Jun

is doing now.

How could an argument

lead to

someone dying?

Exactly.

Dad, Mom,

you two sit and rest.

I'll go make a call.

Okay okay.

Must be calling Xu, definitely.

With such a big incident,

that Xu

is in America,

the two of them haven't seen

each other for so long.

In the long run,

what's going to happen.

Lan Lan, what time is it.

Why are you worrying about this.

I was so scared today.

We are fine.

I'm home.

Hello.

Did you go to the hospital

for a full check-up?

Don't worry.

I didn't get bruised or hurt.

Dad got checked too.

Nothing's wrong.

That's good.

Fine, fine.

Xu Huaisong.

What's up?

Just because you played hero once,

I go from 'Huaisong'

back to 'Xu Huaisong'?

What were you about to say?

Can't you guess?

What?

Of course I wanted to say

I miss you.

Signal... did the signal cut out?

No.

Maybe...

my train of thought got cut off.

What?

I wanna say...

I miss you too.

Maybe

more than you miss me.

I miss you more.

And I was worried.

You sounded so calm

on the phone today.

That was to comfort you.

My heart

almost stopped from fear.

If you had been even a little later letting me know you were safe,

I might have already

been on my way to the airport.

No.

Uncle is still sick, not discharged yet.

You absolutely must not

come all the way back.

Yeah.

Ten thousand kilometers.

It's really far.

So far that there's nothing I can do.

Actually,

when I went up to the rooftop today,

I was really scared too.

My legs went weak from fear.

You went up to the rooftop today?

Aren't you afraid of heights?

Yeah.

But what else could I do?

How do you know I'm afraid of heights?

I'll tell you when we meet.

So mysterious.

Fine, when we meet,

I have something to tell you too.

What?

I said,

I'll tell you when we meet.

Alright.

I still

can't believe

something like this happened.

Last time I went to Huan Vision,

I even had a meeting with Yao Xin.

Tell me,

what will happen to Zhou Jun?

When I went to give statement this afternoon,

I saw him go into the interrogation room,

and he didn't come out for a long time.

As long as Zhou Jun didn't kill anyone,

he won't be wrongly accused.

It's just that in the current situation,

all the evidence

points to him.

His subjective explanation

is just his word.

Solving a case

takes time and process.

So generally,

how long does it take

to get a result?

Actually, each case

is different.

There's no set timeline.

He said he wanted you to help,

but

you don't have a domestic lawyer's license,

so you probably can't be his lawyer, right?

I'll find

other colleagues at the firm.

Don't worry.

It's already late over there.

Get some rest.

There's nothing else

going on here.

You've had a long day too.

Rest early.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I'm leaving, Mom.

Look at you.

Your dark circles go all the way down here.

Were you up all night overthinking,

having nightmares,

not sleeping well?

No, Mom.

Don't worry about me.

It's you and Dad

who should rest well at home these two days.

Take it easy.

Your dad and I are fine.

Don't worry.

It's good you're going back.

There are more people there, more lively.

Get in the car.

Mom.

Good girl.

When you arrive,

send me a message.

I'll miss you, Mom.

Go, go, go.

You and Dad take care of yourselves.

Don't worry.

Tell the driver to go slow.

I'll message you when I arrive.

Bye, Mom.

[Once, ]

[I thought physical distance]

[was like a high wall]

[in a relationship.]

[It makes people hesitate, ]

[makes them worry about the future, ]

[makes them uncontrollably]

[think about the future, ]

[everything that might happen, ]

[worry about it all]

[possibly without him by my side.]

[But...]

My heart

almost stopped from fear.

If you had been even a little later letting me know you were safe,

I might have already

been on my way to the airport.

[At this moment, I suddenly felt]

[that wall]

[didn't seem so solid, ]

[so formidable.]

[Even if two people are close, ]

[there's no guarantee]

[that when one needs the other, ]

[they'll be there.]

[Even if two people are far apart, ]

[if he knows you need him, ]

[he can drop everything]

[and come to you.]

[That's enough.]

[So, stop hesitating, ]

[stop wasting time being indecisive.]

[No one knows]

[which will come first, ]

[tomorrow or the unexpected.]

I'll tell you when we meet.

[When you want to tell him how you feel, ]

[say it to him right away.]

[I'm boarding.]

[I'm really fine.]

[If you come back, what about Uncle.]

[He's being discharged today.]

[There's a nurse at home, don't worry.]

[About to take off.]

[I'll tell you when I arrive.]

You still beat me to it.

[Sis, ]

[the package I sent you]

[is out for delivery.]

[Remember to sign for it.]

[What did you send me?]

[You'll know in a bit.]

Coming.

Your package.

Thanks.

What's this.

[Did you send the wrong thing?]

[No, Sis.]

[Turn it on and check the drafts.]

Drafts?

What kind of new game is this?

What's up, Pipi.

Want some canned food?

Come on.

Pipi, come here.

Sis will open a cat treat for you.

Come on, come on, come on.

Is it good?

Pipi, come.

I'll squeeze it here for you.

Eat slowly.

[Sis, you saw it, right?]

[I'm sorry.]

[I found this phone by chance]

[at Grandma's house.]

[I secretly looked through it]

[and adapted the stories in the drafts.]

[But I was too scared to admit it.]

[When you got caught up]

[in the plagiarism dispute, ]

[I lied and hid the truth.]

[Seeing you still so concerned]

[about this matter]

[in Hang City this time, ]

[seeing you troubled]

[because of my relationship with my brother, ]

[made me think.]

[If I don't come clean now, ]

[I'll just keep being awful forever.]

[Sis, ]

[it's okay if you don't forgive me, ]

[if you hate me.]

[But my brother only found out]

[on the third day after it happened.]

[He rushed back home immediately.]

[He originally planned]

[to tell you the truth, ]

[but]

[seeing you pretend not to know him, ]

[he kept putting it off.]

[So if possible, ]

[please forgive him.]

[He truly, ]

[truly, truly, truly]

[likes you.]

[The model essay that Mr. Zheng]

[gave our class, ]

[you wrote that, right?]

What model essay?

[Your dad asked me]

[why I always practiced in Room 106.]

[I didn't dare tell him]

[it was because from that]

[practice room's window, ]

[I could see you perfectly.]

[Your seat was moved by the window.]

[To see you while I was punished to stand in the hallway, ]

[I was late.]

Stand there properly.

Xu Huaisong,

since when do you show up late?

Stand there and reflect first.

[Are you still coming to PE on the field?]

[I've already run five laps.]

Ruan Yu, Ruan Yu Ruan Yu.

Also,

So what if he's Domyoji?

The one I like

is Hanazawa Rui.

Hanazawa Rui

probably doesn't eat fried chicken.

[You said you like]

[weather where it clears up after rain.]

[Then for the school anniversary, ]

[play "After the Rain."]

[That guy in your class]

[who pulled your hair, ]

[asked me for my English homework.]

[I didn't let him copy it.]

0917

[I bought a new drawer lock.]

[The code is your class and student ID number.]

[The cat downstairs at the art building]

[kept meowing.]

[I fed it a treat.]

So obedient.

[But actually, I don't like cats.]

[I like you.]

[I'm going abroad.]

[Is there any way]

[to make you]

[at least remember me?]

[Then...]

[Let me hold your hand just once.]

The payment password.

309017

You went up to the rooftop today?

Aren't you afraid of heights?

How do you know I'm afraid of heights?

I'll tell you when we meet.

If the Poet hadn't gotten

those specific details,

there's no way they'd have the exact same ideas as me.

But the Poet's version

is from the male lead's perspective.

There's a following part

with the male lead's inner thoughts,

saying he actually really likes fried chicken,

but because at that time,

the female lead was nearby,

he thought climbing over the wall

was embarrassing,

so he purposely acted

like he wasn't interested in mundane things.

Don't you think these things,

fried chicken, cola...

are a bit childish?

Don't you think it doesn't fit

the image of

a novel's male lead?

[The classmate book you handed out to our class...]

[you didn't give me one.]

[When they were collecting them, ]

[I added one myself.]

[If you're lucky, ]

[you'll see it.]

Ruan Yu.

Are you here to hand out the classmate books?

Yes.

Let me help you.

Okay, thank you.

Here.

Thanks.

[May you]

[in a splendid, colorful tomorrow, ]

[leap with joy.]

[Even if]

[I'm not present.]

[By now, ]

[you should have landed.]

[Why haven't you replied?]

[Could it be...]

[He knows]

[I already got the phone, ]

[and is worried I'll be mad he kept it from me.]

[Why, shouldn't I be?]

It's me.

Brother, I acted without asking permission

and sent your phone

to Ruan Yu.

She should know

everything by now.

This time, don't let

each other slip away again.

Brother,

go after your love bravely.

I believe Ruan Yu

will like the real you.

Mingying.

Who assigned you this job?

Knowing you're afraid of heights,

they still made you hang balloons.

Everyone was too busy.

I didn't tell them.

Come help me.

Two big chicken drumsticks tonight.

Go.

Didn't we finish hanging them.

Who did this?

Got the job wrong.

Then let's go.

Come help me with mine, I'll treat you.

Alright.
