[You are My Fateful Love] [EP29]

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Mingying, look.

Have you heard

the legend of our school?

No. What is it?

They say on the first snowfall,

make a wish in your heart,

fold a paper star,

and hang it on the Twin Tree.

Your wish will come true.

Really?

They say when the school was first built,

that tree was already there.

Such an old tree

might really have magic.

Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get some paper.

Can any wish really come true?

What's wrong?

Tell me your wish.

I'll tell you if it can come true.

No, nothing.

I was just saying.

Why are you blushing?

Nonsense.

I'm not blushing.

Alright.

My mistake.

Teacher's coming. Let's go.

Caught you.

You scared me!

I caught you, didn't I?

What are you doing there?

I'm waiting for someone

to fall into my trap.

Tell me. What wish did you make

behind my back?

I...

Won't say?

Fine.

Let me guess.

Who's it about?

Could it be...

from Class Ten?

Xu Huaisong?

Is it that obvious?

Quite obvious.

Every time during exercises, turning around,

you look at Class Ten.

I'm right behind you. I'm not blind.

Then...

How did you know it was Xu Huaisong?

He's the only one in his class

with that Rui Hanazawa vibe.

Tall and thin, quiet,

and plays piano.

Then...

Doesn't he notice

that I'm looking at him?

Not everyone

is as sharp-eyed as me.

Tell me.

When did you meet him?

I...

It's a long story. I can't explain right now.

I'll tell you later.

Hold this.

I'm going to hang this star.

Which class?

Go. Which class?

The dean's here.

Hanging things again?

You're the eighth today.

[It's almost midnight here.]

[Can we video call?]

[I'll show you the fireworks.]

Why did you disappear?

We agreed

to countdown together.

Ms. Lily Vale.

Could you check

our camera angle?

Sure.

[Camera angle?]

[Why ask me?]

I'm not the director.

Alright.

Guess I can't stream either.

This way.

Everyone, this way.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Yes, it's 11:50.

Lead actors, get ready.

Lead actors ready.

Notify everyone.

Yes, walk over slowly.

Yes, don't rush.

Walk slowly.

Don't rush.

Don't rush.

Yes, orderly.

Face that way.

Yes, walk slowly.

Okay, coming.

Okay, Ruan Yu.

Here's the thing.

For the first shot,

we'll take a wide shot.

Everyone's there. Not the leads yet.

You stand here for me.

Feel the atmosphere.

Does it match the novel?

Okay. Director.

Is this the center point?

If I stand here,

won't I be in the shot?

No, no. Not at all.

I'll handle the blocking.

Just relax

and feel the atmosphere.

That's it.

Okay, close your eyes.

Alright. Countdown starts here.

Right here. Okay.

Here we go, countdown.

Everyone ready.

Here we go.

Eleven.

Ten, nine, eight.

Seven, six, five.

Four, three, two.

One.

Twelve years ago,

I told a lie.

To the girl I loved.

Twelve years later,

I had hundreds of people

join me

in another day of lies.

All these lies

were to explain the very first one.

And to tell her

from the beginning,

my heart was always hers.

Under the fireworks twelve years ago,

I didn't tell her

that ten minutes before,

I was already

on that bridge looking for her.

Until the last thirty seconds,

I dared to walk toward her.

Stand by her side.

I also didn't tell her

it wasn't just the bridge.

All those years,

on the basketball court,

in the library,

at the cafeteria window,

in the hallway,

in the music room,

I looked for her again and again.

But back then, I hid

too many secrets.

I never got to tell her.

But because

of my love for her,

I came full circle

and returned here.

Under the fireworks,

I came to her.

I want to spend the next ten years,

twenty years,

decades,

loving her,

protecting her.

I want to tell her

all the secrets

about how

I loved her twelve years ago.

So, Ruan Yu,

will you

marry me?

I will.

Sir,

too close to the lady.

Move back a bit.

Head up. Good.

Yes.

Good, good.

Very nice. One, two, three.

Best wishes for a happy marriage.

And a happy family.

Thank you.

We can get closer.

A bit closer.

One more.

Different angle.

Look at this. Nice announcement photo?

Pretty?

But not as pretty as my wife.

You've been playful all day.

So what?

It's legal now.

Makes sense.

Then can my legal husband

cut the cake with me?

Anything for my wife.

Here.

Let's cut the cake.

Is this spot okay?

No, you'll cut the flowers.

How about here?

Maybe here.

Don't cut my bunny.

Okay.

Here we go.

Done, done.

Good.

After we eat,

what do you want to do?

Want to see that movie

you mentioned?

But the forecast says

it'll rain tonight.

Maybe we shouldn't go out.

Watch an old movie at home?

What do you want to watch?

These past few months,

I've been watching romance films.

A bit too light.

How about tonight

we watch something exciting?

You said you wanted something exciting.

How was I supposed to know

you'd pick

a rainy night horror film?

And it's really thundering and raining.

Look.

That white curtain

in the movie

fluttering,

doesn't it look like ours?

How about this?

For our new home,

let's not get white curtains.

No way.

Beauty comes first.

Worst case,

from now on,

no more excitement.

Honestly,

it's winter,

why such loud thunder?

Seems to have stopped.

It's stopped.

Is the AC too high?

Do you feel hot?

It's not high.

Hot?

Not the AC.

Then...

I'll move away.

Have you ever seen a rabbit

escape the wolf's den?

Aren't you a fox?

At a time like this,

even a fox becomes a wolf.

But...

The wolf just stares

without biting.

Don't say that.

The wolf...

didn't bring utensils.

Then...

What if the rabbit brought them?

Xu Huaisong.

I love you.

Those words...

I should have said first.

I love you too.

Maybe

more than you imagine.

It's ten o'clock.

So late.

Have you had breakfast?

Couldn't bear to eat.

Early morning.

Get up and wash up.

I made breakfast.

Then I need to go to the firm.

Where are my slippers?

Mr. Xu's coming down.

Get ready.

Here he comes.

Three, two, one.

Happy wedding, Mr. Xu!

Congratulations!

Thank you all.

I'll give you wedding candy later.

Thanks. Good.

Oh, Mr. Xu,

there's a letter.

From USPS.

USPS? What document?

It says Attorney Xu Yin

left it at the post office.

Now that Attorney Xu Yin has returned,

it was forwarded here.

What exactly is it?

I don't know either.

Okay, you go ahead.

Okay.

Happy wedding, Mr. Xu!

Mom.

I want to take you to meet someone.

Let's stop playing.

Let's eat first.

I'm not playing.

I'm watering the flowers.

These are plastic flowers.

They don't need water.

You don't understand.

These aren't plastic flowers.

They're hibiscus.

Rongrong's Rong.

Rongrong said

when they bloom,

water them three times.

Morning,

evening,

both times.

So much watering.

Okay, okay.

This is our Rongrong.

Her most precious flowers.

If they wither,

she'll be sad.

Hello, I'll do it.

Okay. Thank you.

Dad.

The flowers are watered.

Let's eat first.

Son,

when you read this letter,

Dad

may no longer be alive.

Actually,

when I first went abroad,

I was diagnosed with

serious cardiovascular disease.

Because I never told you,

you might think Dad's

passing was sudden.

But actually,

these three years,

I've been to the ER twice.

Writing this letter,

I just returned from death's door.

So I'm mentally prepared.

Don't feel sorry for me.

Don't blame yourself

for not knowing.

After all,

Dad deliberately hid this from you.

I didn't want to tell.

How could you know?

Just like

when I divorced your mom,

she never knew

my indifference

was just an act.

Dad is...

too stubborn.

I was once very conflicted

about whether to support you

becoming a lawyer.

Especially becoming

a criminal defense lawyer.

As a criminal defense lawyer,

I eagerly hope

more young people

will take this path.

Love it.

Believe in it.

Devote themselves to it.

Make it shine

even brighter.

But as a father,

I don't want my son

to suffer for it.

For it,

be criticized,

face people's scorn.

Become like me.

So,

when you took on

that case,

Dad

said harsh words against his heart.

My son is so excellent,

so upright.

How could he not be fit

to be a defense lawyer?

That was Dad's selfishness.

Hoping you'd give up defense work.

I lied.

But if today,

you resent Dad's interference,

feel any resentment,

then follow your heart

and choose again.

It's your life after all.

Dad wants to tell you,

no matter what field

you end up in,

whatever achievements,

you are

Dad's greatest pride.

Though I regret

I won't get to see

Mom.

I'm back.

Mom.

What's for dinner?

I'm starving.

Mom.

Little girl,

who are you?

Dad.

Dad.

It's me.

Don't you remember me?

Dad.

Dad.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

People today

all want to cry.

Don't cry.

Dad.

Whispers of the Heart

has been selling well

across all channels.

I admit, you have good judgment.

But

why sign a new author?

Because I'm an editor.

Signing promising new authors

is my job.

True gold shines everywhere.

Good authors

won't stay hidden.

A new author with no track record

has what potential?

Potential to stay hidden forever?

Sis,

The era of "good wine needs no bush"

is over.

Now good works

also need good opportunities.

What I want is to give

good authors and good works

a chance to be seen.

When you stood up for Ruan Yu,

I understood.

You two are friends.

But for a new author,

is it worth it?

I stood up for Ruan Yu

not because she's my friend,

but because she writes well.

She deserved my support.

We've discussed this

many times.

Editor-in-Chief,

if it were anyone else,

my choice

would be the same.

Whatever you choose,

signing a new author is too risky.

I disagree.

What in this world

is a sure thing?

High returns

require high investment.

And high risks.

When Ruan Yu was

a new author,

didn't you think it was risky?

And the result?

Wasn't it right?

What do you mean?

Your judgment is sharp,

mine isn't?

Then you should be

the Editor-in-Chief.

Not all successes

can be repeated.

I said no, so no.

Want to sign her? Fine.

You resign.

You're the Editor-in-Chief.

Whatever you say goes.

Wait.

Childish.

She said she'll resign?

That's against

the Labor Contract Law.

Do you think my persistence

is right?

Actually, I've wavered too.

Been conflicted.

That carefree appearance

is just after eight hundred inner struggles.

That's the result.

But I really like

my job.

Every time I see

a promising novel,

a talented author,

I get really excited.

I want to use all my

energy

and effort

to help them be seen.

If you like it, persist.

Even if it's wrong?

For Editor Chen,

it might be wrong.

But for you,

it's right.

Am I not as carefree

as you imagined?

You don't always have to be carefree.

You can be conflicted.

You can waver.

You can have any emotion.

When I first liked you,

it was because

of that carefree spirit

you had.

But now I love

the complete you.

Okay.

I've figured it out.

Why should I resign?

I'll stand up to her.

I'll fight to the end.

I'll confront her.

What?

Don't be so stubborn.

Was I stubborn?

Are you okay?

Didn't you realize

you just pinched me?

Yes.

Sorry.

You made a bold statement.

Then how do you plan

to win over Editor Chen?

I think your stance

is definitely right.

But in communication,

you could be softer.

Editor Chen's personality

responds to soft, not hard.

You're right.

But our Editor-in-Chief,

from head to toe,

has no

weakness to exploit.

True.

Am I thinking about our Editor

too obsessively?

One person might be obsessed,

but not two. Right?

So this person really is...

Editor Chen.

Shen Mingying, Ruan Yu.

What are you doing here?

I'm visiting the set.

But you, what are you...

I know the producers well.

Good relationship.

I even recommended

the male lead.

So they invited me.

So you know Li Shican?

Of course.

Visiting in this cold weather.

Must be freezing.

No, not cold.

Really.

You should cherish

this friendship.

Of course.

Have some hot milk tea.

Thanks.

You know each other?

Old friends.

You know our Editor well?

You are...

What a coincidence.

Yingying, Yuyu, and I

are best friends.

Close as sisters.

Good.

Shican, we're ready.

To the set. Go ahead.

I'll go work. Go ahead.

See you later.

Sis.

About that proposal,

We're family.

Approved.

And that new author?

Signed, signed, signed.

Sis, is your bag heavy?

Let me carry it.

Not heavy. Come. For your photos.

Everyone, attention.

Eyes right.

Eyes front.

At ease.

Now roll call.

Xu Huaisong. Here.

Xu Huaisong.

Your

clean, dazzling youth

brightened all the rainy days

of my

youth.
