[You are My Fateful Love] [EP06]

I think we have to talk about

the performance.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea

to talk about it.

So what ideas have you got?

[Honey?]

[Are you... Are you home?]

Ruan Yu?

Yeah, yeah, I'm almost home.

[Okay.]

[You're picking me up at the crossroads?]

[Alright.]

[I'll be there in five minutes.]

[Are you being followed?]

Stay calm.

Head to where there are people and lights.

[Tell him]

[I'm on my way to you right now.]

I'm already heading your way.

I'm almost there.

Uh,

it's okay now, Mr. Xu.

I'm home.

[I guess I just overreacted.]

Glad you're safe.

Get some rest.

I'm already dealing with

those posts online.

Honey?

Are you... Are you home?

Well,

I'm so sorry.

I meant to

call a friend just now,

but I dialed your number by mistake.

What's wrong?

Mr. Xu,

there's

a black van

parked downstairs.

[It wasn't there]

[when I just got here.]

Can you make out the license plate?

Not really,

but it looks like

the kind of van used for abductions.

It's probably not

what you're worried about.

Even if it is,

they won't just break in.

I need you to do two things right now:

First,

send me your location

and your property management

or security office's number.

Second, grab your phone

and check the peephole.

Okay.

Done.

Stay quiet first.

[If you see someone suspicious]

[and they]

haven't made a move,

don't lock the door yet.

Step back away from the door,

turn on speakerphone,

and call my name loudly.

Say you're doing laundry

and tell me to get the door.

Understand?

Understood.

If they don't leave

after you do that,

lock the door immediately

and call the police.

What's wrong?

Hello?

[Sorry, ]

[the number you've dialed is powered off.]

Ruan Yu? You home?

It's me, Li Shican.

Shican?

What are you doing here?

Didn't we agree

to meet at our usual spot?

I thought you called me

about your livestream?

You watched my livestream?

Mingying and I were bored

at home the other day,

so we caught your stream.

You two really cared about me.

Can I come in?

I'm kind of worried...

Yeah, of course, come in.

Shican,

I don't have men's slippers here.

Just keep your shoes on.

Still no boyfriend?

You weren't this gossipy

before you entered show business.

Have a seat.

Alright.

Uh...

It's fine, really.

I tune out

everyone else's gossip,

but not yours.

You're my...

most trusted senior.

So you do remember I'm your senior.

Couldn't even call me that earlier.

My bad.

This is my apology gift.

I passed by the shop on the way,

so I grabbed one for you.

Wait, this is the milk tea shop

from the university town!

It's still open?

Here.

Thanks.

Double bean milk tea,

full sugar, no tea base.

Swapped cow's milk for soy milk,

red beans only, no mung beans.

I still have the memo from

when I ran errands for seniors

back in the day,

just without the names attached.

Lucky I got it right, otherwise

I'd be making things even worse.

That's so thoughtful of you.

I don't have much

to offer here,

let me get you a glass of warm water.

Sure, warm water is perfect.

I'm resting my voice these days,

so I'm laying off sugary drinks.

Alright, one second.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way,

is that your car downstairs?

Yeah, that's mine.

It's a mess.

It rained on my drive

from Su City,

got all splashed with mud.

You came all the way from Su City?

You could've just told me

you were doing that for the game.

It's definitely not for the game.

I wanted to see you anyway,

the livestream just gave me

an excuse to call.

There's something

I need to apologize for in person,

I couldn't live with myself if I didn't.

Give me one second,

I need to take care of something.

Sure.

Mr. Xu,

I'm so sorry.

My phone died just now,

so I couldn't

check in with you.

Sorry.

A friend just came over.

You weren't looking at Li Shican.

You just saw him

and got reminded of that Xu guy again.

Mr. Xu?

Hello.

Sorry about that.

Don't check in with me.

Check in with the police instead.

Police?

He's your retained attorney?

Yeah.

I need to take this.

Hello?

[Shican, ]

[the cops just arrested me downstairs!]

[Come help me!]

Just a moment, you two.

Thanks.

Let's wait over there.

I'm so sorry.

I overreacted,

and got you and your friend

dragged into this investigation.

My bad.

I should be the one apologizing.

I didn't handle things properly

with Cen Sisi.

She told me

you two were childhood friends?

I'm from Su City,

she's from Hang City.

How could we be childhood friends?

Her dad moved to Su City

for business back then,

so she transferred schools here.

We were classmates for two years,

then went to the same college.

I guess that's why

she thinks we're practically

childhood friends.

She's had

a crush on me for years.

I have a private Weibo account

that follows your Lily Vale account,

she tracked you down through that,

and probably got the wrong idea.

So how did you know I'm Lily Vale?

You asked me

to fix your computer back in college,

remember?

I saw your pen name

on a file name,

remembered it,

and started following you.

You've been hiding it well.

I figured you creators

like to keep your online

and real lives separate,

otherwise it's like

baring it all online.

But don't worry,

I don't stalk your account.

That's why I only found out about this

after I came back to China.

If I'd known earlier,

I would've handled it right away.

Someone's been deleting comments,

and leaking Cen Sisi's

personal info.

Was that your PR team?

I told them to moderate the comments.

I had no idea

about the info leak.

Could it have been done by netizens?

Really?

Either way, I got you into this mess,

and I'll clean it up.

The hype's died down now.

Just focus on your lawsuit,

leave the rest to me.

No need.

This isn't your fault anyway,

and you're swamped right now.

Don't waste your time on this.

I have a lawyer handling it for me.

Oh, by the way,

I saw your

lawyer's letter was signed

by Zhikun Law Firm.

Is Mr. Xu

with Zhikun?

Yeah.

Is he reliable?

Don't worry,

he's extremely professional

and experienced.

Finally found you,

Xu.

Looks like you've found her too.

Did you find

your Hanazawa Rui?

[Mr. Xu, ]

[I'm so sorry about today.]

[I made you worry for nothing.]

[Mr. Xu, ]

[have you read the document?]

He hasn't replied to a single one.

Well, fair enough.

Anyone would be upset

after being messed around like that,

especially when the police got called.

Plus,

he's super busy to begin with.

Or maybe

he just hasn't seen them?

[Mr. Xu, ]

[have you been busy these past two days?]

[When will you have time]

[to go over the case with me?]

[In ten minutes.]

[I'll go turn on my computer.]

[No need.]

[I'll be downstairs]

[at your place in ten minutes.]

No need to rush.

Sorry to keep you waiting,

Mr. Xu.

[All because of a silly mix-up, ]

[the great Mr. Xu]

[didn't reply to a single word from me]

[for two days.]

[How dare I keep a big shot like you]

[waiting even a second longer?]

Get in. We're going to the firm.

Well,

what are you doing near my place?

On the way from the airport to the firm.

[On the way from the airport to the firm?]

Thanks for picking me up.

Hello?

Ms. Zhang?

Got it, I understand.

Mr. Xu,

Ms. Zhang ran into an emergency

on a case at the construction site,

I have to head over there.

Then drop my luggage off

at my apartment once you're done.

Sure.

Should I get a taxi?

Or we can talk at my place?

We can do it another time.

I'll head back to the office first.

No, it's totally fine. This way please.

Watch the steps.

[He's only mad at you for two days, ]

[and look at you groveling like this.]

[Oh shoot.]

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Just a moment.

Come on in.

Sorry,

I don't have men's slippers here.

Just keep your shoes on.

That's where I sat

for my videos earlier.

A friend was over just now.

Can I

get you something to drink?

Coffee's fine.

Is instant okay?

Alright, have a seat.

[I was so focused on]

[not wasting his trip, ]

[I forgot about the jet lag.]

[I should've told him to go home.]

Mr. Xu...

Sorry,

I fell asleep.

Hello?

I just fell asleep.

Haven't eaten yet.

Bye.

You haven't eaten?

Do you want to go get something first?

It's too hot out.

Then should I order takeout?

You don't eat takeout.

How about I make you something?

I have food at home,

we can make do with what we have.

If it's not too much trouble.

It's no trouble at all.

Come to the kitchen,

see if there's anything you want.

With the ingredients we have,

I can make sandwiches or pasta.

Whatever you prefer.

This one.

Your stomach

hasn't fully adapted to Western food yet.

How do you want it cooked?

Fried.

Go sit in the living room for a bit.

[These aren't really good for frying.]

[He probably wants]

[Su-style lard rice cakes.]

You know,

I swapped it

for Su-style lard rice cakes.

You probably

don't get to eat these often abroad.

Thanks.

How did you know

I'm from Su City?

I looked it up.

There are news articles about you.

Why did you look into me?

Just

basic background

on my attorney.

I also know

Mr. Liu is from Hang City.

Eat up

while it's hot.

Alright.

[He's eating so politely.]

[Does he like it or not?]

Want some?

I'm good.

You eat up,

I'll go wash the dishes.

[Well, his appetite sure isn't polite.]

[The frying turned out great today.]

Are you full,

Mr. Xu?

I haven't read it yet.

Have you been busy these days?

Haven't checked WeChat either.

[So he wasn't ignoring me on purpose.]

[I knew it.]

[He wouldn't be that petty.]

Hello? What's up?

The cat food is in the

lower cabinet in the kitchen.

Yeah.

Just do whatever you think is best.

First off, he has a cat.

Second, he doesn't bathe

the cat himself.

So

Who does?

Are you saying

there's someone else at his place?

He has a girlfriend?

He could just

take the cat to a pet groomer,

but what you're saying

is definitely possible too.

Ruan Yu,

I need to sleep for a bit.

What,

you're sleeping here?

How about...

Hey...

He fell asleep that fast.

Being a lawyer

really is such an exhausting job.

Mr. Xu,

you've barely been in the office lately.

It's been half a month

since we last saw each other, right?

Want a tea egg? My treat.

No, thanks.

I overate last night,

still haven't digested it yet.

What did you eat

that's still sitting with you this long?

Fried lard rice cakes.

How fancy of you.

Naturally, it's a Su City specialty.

Making fried rice cakes for yourself?

Nice.

Actually, I didn't make them.

What's the story?

Ruan Yu made them for me.

Who?

Ruan Yu.

Why would she

make you fried rice cakes?

What's going on between you two?

Is it weird for a client to make

fried rice cakes for their attorney?

Are you kidding?

What client? What attorney?

Since when do clients make

fried rice cakes for their lawyers?

Depends on the client,

and the attorney.

How so?

Well, it can't be an attorney

who's getting ahead of himself.

Being likable is a gift, after all.

Now grab your bag.

It's time for work.

Did you just insult me?

I swear you did, but I have no proof.

[When are you gonna update?]

[My comfort read, ]

[please come back soon.]

What writer doesn't get writer's block?

This time's different.

The male lead's based on someone I know.

How am I supposed

to keep writing like nothing's wrong?

[I'm convinced the author's innocent now.]

[Just curious, is this book]

[really based on her real life?]

[Same here.]

[This whole thing blew up so bad.]

[Does the real-life male lead]

[even know about it?]

Anyone still working at this hour

must be the elite of this city.

[Mr. Xu, ]

[I got your email.]

[Thank you for working]

[on my case so late.]

[Just killing time]

[while I get over my jet lag.]

[If you're still up, ]

[we can go over the case.]

[Sure. Video call?]

[Voice call is fine.]

Sorry,

hold on one second.

I need to go grab a document downstairs.

Alright.

Mr. Xu?

I'm here.

Well,

is it raining where you are?

It's pouring right now.

Guess we're

under the same rain cloud then.

I'm back.

Alright.

Let's

start with the third section.

This part is about

the female lead, who's scared of thunder,

caught in an art museum by heavy rain.

She overhears the male lead playing piano,

and it calms her down.

[This isn't in]

[the other novel at all.]

Do we need to bring this up?

The descriptions of

the piano room in both novels

are actually quite similar.

All piano rooms

look pretty much the same.

Did you forget?

Forget what?

Did you forget

to switch to WiFi?

[Your connection seems bad, ]

[I can barely hear you.]

I already switched.

It's good now,

I can hear you clearly.

Alright, let's keep going.

In the next section,

the female lead publicly turns down

a male classmate who's been

harassing her,

telling him to stop

disturbing her studies.

The male lead

sees this,

and he won't disrupt her studies either.

So he never confesses

his feelings to her.

Right, I checked, The Poet

hasn't written about

why the male lead

never confessed yet.

This part won't be called a trope copy?

But this trope

is a bit unreasonable.

[Is my writing that unreasonable?]

But the biggest worry for high schoolers

is their studies.

What other reason

would the male lead have

for not confessing?

Not every high schooler

is that lucky.

I was being too absolute.

Will this trope

affect the lawsuit?

It's fine,

I'm just giving you a heads-up.

You still need

to keep updating your novel,

so if you sort out your train of thought

and resume updates soon,

it'll help turn the public opinion

around for the better.

Yeah.

The rain stopped.

It's pouring so hard.

I should've never come

to feed the cats today.

[Is that him?]

[Xu Huaisong, ]

[your bright, ]

[untainted boyish charm]

[cleared up every single]

[rainy season]

[of my youth.]

Hello? Dad.

Alright, I'm coming out now.

The rain stopped here too.

Let's keep going then.

Alright.

Ruan Yu?

What's wrong?

I'm so sorry,

I accidentally fell asleep

last night.

Why didn't you hang up?

I must've fallen asleep too around then.

Alright,

I'll hang up then.

What's that noise?

An ambulance.

Why is there

an ambulance siren?

I'm at the hospital.
