[When I Meet The Moon]

[Episode 16]

Did he come to see me

just to return my scarf?

Why does he

seem a little impatient?

Hello?

What's up?

Hello, Li.

Did you guys meet?

Did you give her the gift?

Did everything go smoothly?

I'm really annoyed right now.

Can you stop bombarding me

with questions?

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Are you in a bad mood?

Weren't you meeting Yunyi

and her brother today?

It has nothing to do with that.

Yunyi got the gift

you sent her,

and she was really happy.

If that's all,

I'm hanging up.

Wait, one more thing.

The robotics competition

is tomorrow, right?

There's a problem

I just can't figure out.

Can you ask that guy

from XUST for me?

Why do you want me to ask him?

Who else am I supposed to ask? You?

I'm trying to give you

a chance here.

You have him on WeChat.

Ask him yourself.

Unbelievable! I try to help,

and you throw it back in my face!

Yun Ye,

what's up?

Hey, Shize.

I have a robotics competition

at the Science and Technology Festival tomorrow,

and there's something

about my robot

I wanted to ask you.

Go ahead.

It's the gait

and posture control.

It keeps being unstable.

I've adjusted it over and over

according to the manual,

but it's still not working.

Do you think it's a parameter issue

or a problem with the control system?

For posture control,

check the calibration

of the gyroscope and accelerometer,

as well as the PID parameters.

See if they need fine-tuning.

If that doesn't work,

there might be a balancing issue

with the motor

or transmission system.

Check for any wear

or deformation.

I'll give that a try.

Thanks, Shize!

You're seriously amazing.

Oh, by the way,

isn't the handmade drone

my sister gave you super cool?

I bet

she stayed up all night

making that drone.

The drone your sister gave me?

Yeah.

Wait, she hasn't given it to you yet?

Shize,

please pretend

this never happened,

or my sister will kill me!

I'll let you go now, Shize.

Thanks!

Yun Li,

why are you taking so long to give it to him?

Well, it's not my fault.

Mrs. Jiang.

How is Grandma?

There you are.

She really gave us a scare this time.

Your uncle stayed by her side for two days

and was completely worn out,

so I sent him home to get some rest.

Did the doctor say

what caused it?

I won't know

until the test results

come back.

Keep an eye on her for me.

I'm going

to get the test results.

Okay, Ms. Jiang.

Ring the bell if you need anything.

Hello?

Uncle,

tell Lili

I took care of it for her.

I'm busy right now.

Tell her yourself.

Yuanyuan.

Grandma.

Do you have something urgent to take care of?

No, I'm fine.

If you have things to do,

go ahead.

It's okay.

That's just how it is when you get old.

Something's bothering you one moment,

and something else the next.

It's nothing.

You don't have

to stay here with me all the time.

Grandma,

just focus on getting better.

I have nothing to take care of.

All right.

Come on,

let's get you covered up.

Get some sleep.

Okay.

Alright.

Go to sleep.

I'll stay here with you.

Yun Li, Yun Li!

What is it?

You have no idea

what a big deal happened yesterday!

What happened?

I never thought

Du Gefei would get what was coming to her.

It's so satisfying!

Mr. Xu's younger brother was incredible.

He put her firmly in her place.

Congratulations!

You've finally been vindicated.

Wait,

whose younger brother?

What happened with Fu Zhengchu?

Yesterday, Mr. Xu's younger brother

exposed

Du Gefei for smearing you in her online posts,

right in front of everyone!

You have to watch the video.

It's already been posted online,

and people are all calling her out.

I sincerely apologize.

All the allegations I posted about Idle Cloud

were fabricated.

Please stop believing

and spreading them.

I'd like

to apologize to Idle Cloud personally.

Fu Zhengchu,

try some of my homemade cookies.

Okay.

Fu Zhengchu,

thank you. Seriously.

You don't have

to thank me, Lili.

You've said thank you

like 800 times already.

J-Just

one last time.

Really,

if it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have been able to prove my innocence.

Honestly,

it was no big deal.

This kind of thing

is a piece of cake for me.

I may have had

to use a little of my charm,

but that's no big deal

for a handsome guy like me.

You sure have

a high opinion of yourself.

It's not that you're charming.

She's just easy to impress.

Tang Lin,

did you swallow

some medicated oil or something?

Why do you always have to make snide remarks?

If you'd seen

my brilliant performance that night,

you'd have thought I was 007.

But seriously, Lili,

if you really want to thank someone,

you should thank—

Enough!

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while,

and now you're bragging about it.

Lili, let's go.

Let's get back inside.

What's that about?

I wasn't even finished.

Tangy.

What's wrong?

Still upset?

Regretting throwing up too soon that night?

I told you not to drink so much.

I've made up my mind.

I'm done pursuing him.

B-But

you know it was all a misunderstanding, right?

It's got nothing to do with that.

Actually, after I drank too much that night,

I thought about it for a long time.

Maybe I'm just tired.

He's like a stone

that no amount of warmth can ever heat up.

I've laid all my affection

at his feet,

but what about him?

He's still laughing and joking every day,

completely carefree, like nothing matters.

A good relationship

should be a two-way street,

not a one-woman show,

right?

But if you give up just like that,

won't you regret it?

I think

if you

really like someone,

you should hang in there a little longer

and give it another shot.

At least

get a clear answer from him, right?

Even if you hit a brick wall,

at least you'll know you tried.

Then you won't have any regrets.

But

maybe letting go

is the right thing for me.

At least I won't have

to keep worrying about where I stand with him every day.

I won't have to keep staring at my phone,

waiting for his messages.

And I won't be

so hung up

on every little change in his mood.

But don't let my experience influence you.

Your situation is different from mine.

It's okay, Tangy.

Really,

I'll support

whatever you decide.

I just want you

to always be

that happy Tangy without a care in the world.

Seriously,

if you're feeling down,

I'll go out for drinks with you

right now.

No,

I'm never drinking again.

Honestly, I admire you.

You might think

I'm an extrovert,

but sometimes I'm such a coward.

You're different, though.

You're timid in little things, but brave when it matters.

How are things going with Fu Shize?

Have you given him the drone yet?

Not yet.

He returned my scarf,

and we haven't seen each other since.

Be a little more proactive.

Here, Grandma.

Is it too hot?

No, it's fine.

Just right.

Shize,

the engineering prototype has arrived.

We'll test it when you get back.

Got it.

By the way,

is there anything

on my desk?

Let me check.

There are...

just a few books.

Nothing else.

Hi, Yun Li.

I'm off.

[Inpatient]

Why don't you come in?

I just wanted to see Grandma.

Since she's resting,

I won't go in.

Maybe

it's better if I stay away?

Grandma probably

doesn't remember me anymore, does she?

Does she still think you're Yuan?

By the way,

the school lab was renovated a while back,

and your drone

is still at my place.

I'll bring it to you next time we meet.

Just keep it.

As a keepsake.

I used to think the same way.

But now, I don't think

any of that matters anymore.

What truly matters

has already found a place in our hearts,

hasn't it?

I had a dream the other night.

In it, we'd graduated with our PhDs.

I talked to Yuan

about so many things in that dream,

but I never told him the one thing

that mattered most.

Later, I found out

that Yuan had feelings for me, too.

And because

of one little misunderstanding,

we missed our chance.

That's when I realized that

what you see isn't always the truth.

If only I'd

cleared things up

with Yuan back then,

would things have turned out differently?

I'm sorry.

Shize,

it's really not your fault.

Let's leave the past

in the past.

I'd better get going.

Actually, the truth is out now.

You don't have to resign.

Do you really think

I can stay here after all this?

I can't stand

people looking at me differently.

Yun Li,

I'm sorry.

I hope you can forgive me.

Goodbye.

Hello?

Hey, I haven't been at the office for the past couple of days.

Is there anything I need to take care of?

No, nothing.

The company's been quiet while you've been away.

Nothing major has come up.

Is Grandma ready to be discharged?

That's good.

Let me ask you something.

If you wanted to ask a girl out for dinner,

what kind of restaurant would you choose?

You're asking a girl out to dinner?

Did I hear that right?

Shize,

you've finally caught on.

Oh, cut it out.

Just help me figure this out.

Jiang,

Mom's back.

She's back.

Grandma,

you should head inside first.

Yuan,

aren't you coming home?

Come in and sit for a while.

No, Ms. Jiang.

I have something to take care of later.

Yuan,

take good care of yourself.

Don't worry, Grandma.

Fu Shize?

Surprised?

No wonder he's always been

so unapproachable at work.

Turns out he's had someone in his heart all along.

I even thought

you two were dating.

Then...

with someone as cold as him,

what kind of girl does he like?

I don't know the details.

But I heard she's really pretty,

has a great personality,

and is very capable.

They're a perfect match for each other.

I didn't expect

Engineer Fu to be so devoted.

N-No way, right?

Guess even he can fall in love!

But I'm curious, too.

Does it really take someone like him

this long

to win a girl over?

I heard you're going on a date with someone.

Hello?

I've got the restaurant

sorted out for you.

Let me tell you,

I asked a ton of people

before finally settling on this place.

I'll send you the location.

[Skyline Bistro]

Skyline Bistro?

It's on the top floor

of Tianqi Mall.

The food is great,

but the view is even better.

You can take in

the entire city of Nanwu at night.

It's the perfect place to take a girl on a date.

Just imagine it.

You two can eat and chat,

growing closer

as you gaze at the moon together.

Once you've had enough of the moon,

just look down

at a sea

of lights stretching across the city.

It couldn't be more romantic!

Xu Qingsong,

what should I prepare

for a date with a girl?

What a waste

of that handsome face of yours!

You've made it this far in life

without any dating experience.

It's not that complicated.

Flowers, beautiful scenery, and little gifts.

Of course,

she has to be into you, too.

Otherwise, nothing you do will make a difference.

I think she might be

a little into me.

What makes you say that?

That's none of your business.

How is it none—

You ungrateful jerk!

[Are you free tomorrow? I know a nice restaurant. Would you like to go with me?]

Forget it.

I'll tell her in person.

Hello!

Welcome.

What kind of flowers are you looking for?

I can recommend some for you.

I...

Who are the flowers for?

I can help you find something suitable.

I want to give them

to a girl who's been by my side

for many years

and means a lot to me.

How about violets?

They symbolize,

"In a world you know nothing about,

I'll love you

until the end of time.

I hope you're the one I begin with

and the one I end with."

Yeah, I'll take those.

Great. No problem.

I guess I won't be giving you to him after all.

He already

likes someone else.

What's the point

of adding him back now?

Hello?

Your flower delivery is here.

Yes,

that's right.

I'm at the entrance now.

Your number ends in 0237, and you're Mr. Fu, right?

Great.

Could you sign here, please?

Here's your bouquet.

Thank you.

Does he have a date today?

He even got a bouquet.

Would you like

to get coffee today?

No, thanks!

[Add to Contacts]

He didn't even notice

I'd removed him from my WeChat contacts.

Hello?

Hi,

this is Yin Yucheng.

Hi.

What can I do for you?

Could we meet up and talk?

It's about Yun Ye and Yunyi.

What's happened to them?

It's a bit complicated

to explain over the phone.

Let's meet and talk.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Thank you.

No problem.

Would you like something to eat?

No, thanks.

I have to get back to work at the office soon.

Senior,

is there something you wanted to talk to me about?

I'm sorry

for asking you to meet me so suddenly.

This might be a little awkward to talk about,

but it's important,

and I wanted you

to be the first to know.

Ever since Yunyi started boarding at school,

I've been the one collecting the mail

sent to our house.

I noticed

that ever since we moved to Nanwu,

she's been getting postcards

from her old classmates.

About three a week.

In less than a month,

she's received almost ten.

Yunyi must be pretty popular.

The postcards are all signed by Class 15 of Grade 11,

but I compared the handwriting,

and it's identical on all of them.

It's the same handwriting

as on the gift box last time, too.

Yun Ye...

Unbelievable.

If I'm not mistaken,

Yun Ye must have written them all.

That's what I think.

Don't you want to read the letters?

I'd rather not.

I don't feel right reading his letters.

You don't feel right about it?

Well, they're private.

There's nothing much in them, actually.

Just simple

greetings and words of encouragement.

If it weren't

affecting their studies,

I wouldn't want to interfere, either.

But kids that age

can be fickle.

Let's keep the lines of communication open.

If you hear anything,

give me a call anytime.

Okay.

I'll talk to him when I get back.

Senior,

there's just one thing I wanted to ask you.

Go ahead.

Has Yunyi

ever written back to Yun Ye?

I don't think so.

Thanks for coming all this way.

No problem.

I'll have a serious talk with Yun Ye

when I get back.

You don't need to put too much pressure on him, either.

Yun Li.

Fu Shize.

Long time no see.

Do you remember me?

You two know each other?

We used to be captains

of drone teams.

We competed against each other several times.

You could say we were old rivals.

Rivals?

I need to talk to Yun Li.

And you are?

We're—

Coworkers.

Y-You said you needed to talk to me, right?

Let's go.

Senior, I'll get going.

Go ahead. Take care.

W-What did you want to see me about?

Wasn't that drone

for me?

No.

I've got something to do.

I should get going.

I want to give this drone

to someone

very important to me.

Haven't you finished work yet?

What about you?

Not for a while.

Why are you still here?

I was waiting for you.

Let's go.

Okay.

Am I walking too fast?

Have you not had dinner yet?

No.

Actually, tonight, I...

I know you have things to do.

It's okay.

Just take care of your own stuff.

Don't worry about me.

I...

The guesthouse is just up ahead.

I'm almost there.

Bye-bye.

Good evening,

Shize.

I feel like

I've regained a lot more memories.

Was it you who helped me get them back?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Something on your mind?

Yuan,

remember the girl

I told you about

last time?

Yup, I do.

How's it going?

Are you two together now?

Not yet.

Still not?

Don't tell me you still don't know

how to win a girl over, just like back then.

You got that right.

She's the girl

who played robot soccer

back then.

Wait, it was her?

You were already

so into her back then, weren't you?

You were clearly smitten with her,

yet you still made me deliver that little soccer ball to her.

If you'd confessed

your feelings sooner,

you wouldn't

be dealing with all these complications now.

Yeah.
