[Almost Lover]

[Episode 13]

Shangqi, don't mind me.

You also don't need to pay for my medicine.

No matter what medicine is needed or how long the treatment will be,

my face is ruined.

Don't worry. Recover slowly. You'll be healed.

How slowly? When I'm old and wrinkly?

Fei'er, of course you are beautiful.

Is such a small wound so devasting to you?

You're not me.

You will never experience this.

In my family, what does such an accident mean?

At 13, I swore.

I will leave that family.

I took each and every step very carefully, afraid of making mistakes.

But... I can't leave anymore.

Thank goodness we already cleared our visas.

I'm going to buy plane tickets immediately, let's leave tonight.

I'll find the best plastic surgeons to treat you.

Tonight?

Fei'er, don't worry.

Even if your injury can't be healed,

I can marry you.

Xiaoran, I'm busy later. You guys can head back first.

I need to change, and the chauffeur is waiting for me.

Xiaoran, we will definitely have lots of opportunities to see each other. See you next time.

Xiaoran

Xiaoran, can you calm down and let me explain?

Do you know everything?

Know what? All these years, I've been like a clueless fool.

Things happened too suddenly back then. We were all flustered.

When we finally got settled, we lost contact with you.

You could've told me in Wusu.

Xiaoran, this isn't a happy memory.

She didn't want people to know. As her friend, I needed to keep her secret.

But I promise you, other than travelling out of the country to get her treatment, nothing else happened between us.

What are you doing with her now?

This was what I wanted to tell you yesterday.

I was afraid you'll overthink, so I insisted on speaking to you in person.

I didn't expect you to appear out of the blue.

So, I'm still to blame.

No. It's all my fault.

Xiaoran, you wanted to surprise me,

but I ended up horrifying you.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand. Why do you have to organize her wedding?

She wasn't the one.

It's Zhao Mingxuan. He has been picking on my family.

After I came back, I realized the situation here is more complex than I imagined.

This wedding is an ordeal Zhao Mingxuan set for me.

I'm prepared to take him on and pit myself against him.

I don't get it.

Xiaoran, I admit that many things here are out of my control.

However, I can promise that this has nothing to do with Chen Fei'er being the bride.

You've been in Hupu alone. You must be exhausted.

Are you willing to trust me?

Do you know what I'm most angry about?

You kept secrets from me.

You'll be on a probation period.

Fine. I'll accept your evaluation at any time.

Xiaoran, you may not trust what I say,

but I thought about you most often in my many years abroad.

That's because we shared our growing years.

In the past, I might've been too used to it.

I neglected the warmth and loveliness you brought for me.

Now that I think back on this,

you've long become and indispensable part of my life.

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Don't be angry.

Let's go.

So, you'll have to stay in Hupu for a month.

That's perfect. Once their wedding is over, we can return to Wusu together.

It's been a long time since I've been here. I'll watch you head in.

It's fine. Head off first. Don't let my parents see you.

Wow, our Journalist He has something she's afraid of.

Are you parents still fond of gardening?

This time, I came back and spotted

bonsais, tomatoes, and strawberries on the balcony. I'll let you have a taste when they're ripe.

How long will that take?

No clue. A few days? Over ten days? Months?

Are you that eager to eat them?

That's not it.

I'm just wondering if we should consider

getting married?

What?

What are you doing?

Come on.

Xiao Shangqi?

Aunty.

Why did you come here so late? Looking for Xiaoran again?

- Nope. - I don't mean to keep secrets from you.

Xiaoran doesn't want to see you.

Even though I don't know what happened between you guys,

so many years have passed.

Can't you let her live her life properly? Don't bother her.

Mom.

What...

Who's there?

Uncle.

Why does it sound like Chen Fei'er is trying to stir up trouble?

She's getting married. Why is she still mentioning the past?

She's trying to start something.

I don't know. I'm unsure now.

Do you think Xiao Shangqi...

is really over her?

Or do you think he only gave up and chose me as his second choice

after finding out Chen Fei'er and Zhao Mingxuan were together?

You're splitting hairs.

The past is the past no matter how much time has passed.

I wish Xiao Shangqi was as straightforward as you are.

Why are you bringing me into this?

Come to the bar, it's an emergency.

I have to go now, I'll call you later.

Bye.

Brother Hao, what's the emergency?

Hui'er, don't blame me for this.

I'm just doing someone else a favor.

He's been bugging me for a few days now. I had no choice.

Hui.

- I just want to say a few words to you. - Let go.

Li Hui!

I'm leaving soon.

I got very inspired when you smashed the guitar.

I want to tell you that you're my muse,

even after we break up.

Today I want to sing a song that belongs to us to commemorate our relationship.

What are you doing here?

He Xiaoran called me

because she was worried about you coming here.

So this guy is here. What does he want?

I have to admit, he's quite confident.

You don't want to forgive him, do you?

No way. We're done.

Good morning.

You're up. Have some breakfast.

Old He, what flowers are you growing?

None anymore.

I'm going to take them out of the pot one of these days.

That's better than letting others pick them after you've spent all this time growing them.

What's the matter with my dad?

Let's talk about what's the matter with you first.

What's up with you and Xiao Qi?

Nothing much. We just happened to see each other again in Wusu.

He's the new roommate you mentioned?

You're living together?

He's been mad all night.

You guys...

Have some conscience.

Regardless of who picks you in the future,

remember that it was Mr. and Mrs. He

that raised you guys to the wonderful and beautiful state you're in.

Got it?

Dad, my boyfriend is handsome and successful.

He's perfect.

Why are you mad?

Didn't you used to say he was like half a son to you?

How can this be the same?

It's the same.

Xiao Shangqi is coming over for dinner tonight.

Just treat him like you did before.

No, treat him better than before.

[Chen Fei'er]

Omelettes from the restaurant outside our school.

I happened to pass by, so I brought you some.

You used to love these. It's been a while since you had it, right?

Thank you.

Fei'er.

I really didn't know about the incident that happened back then.

I told Shangqi not to tell you.

True.

If you both really considered me your friend back then,

you wouldn't leave without saying anything.

As a friend,

you didn't tell me about the earth-shattering confession either.

Xiaoran, now that you're back,

will you at least join me on my journey

that is the closest to happiness for me?

Will you be my bridesmaid?

I have everything now,

but I still often think about the times

when the three of us were glued by each other's side.

It felt like a happier and more innocent time.

No matter what happens,

you and Shangqi were my best friends.

You saw what happened yesterday.

If I want my flawed self to be in my current position,

I have to resort to faking things.

But I hope

to have at least some of my true self at my wedding.

You're still the same as before. Your shoelaces are always untied.

Didn't I tell you to double-knot them?

I can do it myself.

I used to tie all your shoelaces before our high school Olympic games.

You're saying all of this

just so I will agree to be your bridesmaid.

Sure.

We're currently collecting data on our guest's favorite foods and food to avoid.

Our food and beverage department will launch

a new wedding menu this Friday.

As for parking, to avoid traffic near the entrances,

we'll have the guests enter at different time intervals.

We still have to further optimize the details. Director Zhao.

How many VIP guests do we currently have?

180 guests.

These guests are most important.

Don't make any mistakes in the invitations.

I'll personally deliver all the invitations.

Personally deliver? Is there enough time for that?

It's difficult to meet with these important guests.

Alright, Xiao Qi is good at this kind of stuff.

By the way, I selected another handful of candidates for Yunduan's operations manager position. Do you want to take a look...?

Another handful?

Are you in charge of screening them or am I?

Sure, I'll cut them down a bit more.

Alright, everyone. Break it up.

Xiao Qi, stay back for a second.

Fei'er told me your girlfriend was her bridesmaid.

You two are doing so much for our wedding.

Thank you.

You know?

What's going on?

Nothing major.

She just wants me to be her bridesmaid,

so I'll do just that.

You don't have to force yourself. I can help you reject her.

Why would I have to force myself? It's not like you're the groom.

Alright.

After all, we were friends for a long time.

I give her my blessing.

But... I have to do my training at the same time. Seems like I'll be busy with both for a while.

Be sure to tell me

if you ever get into a messy situation.

I am in a messy situation now.

What is it?

Let's go to a convenience store to get some goods in a bit.

Get some goods?

Placebos.

Let's go.

What do you mean by placebos?

Mom, Dad, I'm home.

Hi Uncle and Auntie.

- Xiao Qi. - I need slippers.

It's okay.

You're just in time for dinner.

Uncle He, I brought you some red wine.

I can tell this was my daughter's idea off the bat.

Just tell us whether you like it or not.

What I say doesn't really matter.

How can I not like what my daughter likes?

- Let's sit. - Alright, sit down.

Your future daughter will eventually go through this too.

What do you think? It's been a while since you had home-cooked food, hasn't it?

Yes.

You two had a falling out when you graduated. Is that all settled now?

Dad.

Can you say you didn't run off to Wusu because he broke your heart?

That was a misunderstanding.

It was my fault.

Don't worry, Uncle and Auntie. I promise it'll never happen again.

- Is this okay? - Yes.

Dad, do you know that the sweet and sour ribs you cook

has been added to the hotel's menu buy Shangqi.

I can eat it whenever I want to in Wusu.

Yeah.

My cooking skills

can't be replicated so easily.

No one is your match.

However, sweet and sour ribs are a very popular dish at Jifeng Hotel.

I hope you can come over and guide the chefs.

Let me tell you this.

Mm.

The success of sweet and sour ribs

lies in the sauce.

- If you— - Enough. Let's just eat today.

Next time, we can taste it at Xiao Qi's Jifeng Hotel ourselves.

- Sure. - That's a good idea.

Eat up.

Have some vegetables.

It didn't change much.

You still have this book?

Back then, we often read it together between classes.

Mm.

Oh? Didn't you say this book was very hard to get?

Hey.

I even lent you my copy back then.

Mm.

Strange.

Why does this book have a signature here too? Didn't you return it to me back then?

This is your copy.

I liked you back then.

I saw how much you liked this book, so I read it profusely for a week. I thought it was rather meaningful.

So, I borrowed this book from you and bought a new one to return to you.

But doesn't the book you returned to me have a signature too?

I've forged your signature so many times. Clearly, I know how to sign that.

Hey.

Do you still remember this? We measured ourselves as kids.

Measure yourself again. Let's see if there are changes.

Oh?

You're shorter than three years ago.

I didn't stand straight.

I was lying. It's the same.

Come here. I'll measure for you.

Okay.

Let's see if you grew taller.

In the future, let's measure like this. One finger shorter than my jaw.

What? How's that possible? I'm definitely taller than your shoulders.

Can you come back with me tonight?

Nope.

Where to?

Be back before eleven.

That's the curfew for our home.

[Hupu Radio and TV Group]

[Hupu Radio and TV Group]

Firstly, welcome to this year's Elite Training Program.

All of you are outstanding news reporters recommended by the various radio stations.

I hope that through the short training over the next few days,

you will gain many insights.

After the self-introductions, we will split up into groups.

Your evaluations and group tasks

will be sent to your leaders as well.

So, everyone will have many post-training assignments. You won't be able to slack off.

Hello everyone.

You can call me Susu. I'm from Hupu Radio and TV Group. I'll be in your care.

Hello everyone. I'm Zhu Runtao. I'm very glad to attend the Elite Training Program this time.

Thank you.

Hello everyone. I'm He Xiaoran from Wusu Radio and TV Group's news channel.

I used to be a host of a heart-tugging program.

If you're tired from studying, you can chat with me.

Xiaoran, you have to come here frequently in the future.

The wedding plans are all decided here.

The cakes here are all pieces of art.

Today, we'll be tasting the food and presenting our proposal.

Xiaoran.

I have to manage my weight. Try the food for me.

Sure.

Strawberry.

Red bean. Sour and sweet.

There are bits in this. It should be chestnuts.

It's a little sweet.

Some kind of fruit. It's also... sweet.

Tastes like cake.

Xiaoran, can you be more serious?

To be very frank, I'm just sick of the taste.

If you make me eat everything,

I might lose all sense of taste and my vocabulary.

Miss Chen, please sign here.

Xiaoran, check the numbers for me.

Spring flower jam, Paris matcha,

Caroline, sunset.

Are these the names of the cakes?

How would I know what I just ate?

I can only help you check the numbers. I ate four just now.

Xiaoran, which do you think is the prettiest?

They're all pretty nice.

Which do you prefer?

I think this one is nice.

[Zhao Mingxuan: The third one matches my suit best.] The third one matches my suit best.

I'll go with the previous one. I also want to take a look at the gifts.

- Give me a minute. We'll prepare the samples and list for the gifts. - Thank you.

Why did you choose the third one? Don't you like this more?

You may not understand these brands, but the third one is from a famous designer.

That's definitely better.

By the way, you haven't told me.

how you started dating Xiao Shangqi.

You want to know?

Guess.

There aren't enough cuffs for the males as gifts. Don't forget to keep an eye on that.

Tomorrow... You can come here alone.

There's more tomorrow?

Mm.

You have to taste the second proposed dessert set and there are still gifts to be selected. After that...

What's wrong? Tired?

Planning a wedding takes more than a day.

Fei'er, how about getting someone else?

I came to Shanghai for my training. I don't have the time.

I don't have anyone else. You're the only one.

Forget it. Don't pull this trick.

Xiaoran.

Shangqi is so busy at work. As my bridesmaid, the more you do, the more you'll be able to lighten his load.

Thank goodness you'll only get married once.

What are we doing later?

We're still missing some items. The shop attendant went to get them. Wait for a while.

Where are you headed? I'll get my chauffer to send you there.

It's fine.

Xiaoran.

Why are you here?

I'm here to pick you up.

Shangqi, I heard you're exhausted form planning my wedding. Thank you.

It's fine. It's a good preparation for myself.

Are you tired today?

I'm all right.

Change into these shoes.

How do you know I'm in high heels?

Didn't you post on your Moments? I saw the photo.

Oh, what time will it be tomorrow?

Any time after 3 p.m.

Got it.

Let's go.

Come in and have a seat.

Not today. I'm busy.

Fei'er said you've been busy.

Yeah.

I have to deliver 190 invitations personally. I'm rather pressed for time.

180?

What tricks are they pulling?

I requested this myself.

Actually, this is a good chance to meet Deju's core partners.

Even if only ten percent of them are interested in working with Yunlan, that'll still double our profits.

At that time, we can channel business to Wusu.

As expected of my boyfriend.

By the way, you don't have to pick me up anymore. I can handle Fei'er's matters.

In the future, I'll get even busier.

So, I want to meet you more while I still can.

I'll be cheering you on. Bye.

I'll head in.

Mm.

Has the company crisis from back then been resolved?

- Yeah. - My idea was pretty good, wasn't it?

President Lan. President Xia.

Director Xiao.

Nice to meet you.

Look at you, insisting on delivering an invitation personally.

I thought so too, but I heard about President Lan

and ran over.

Here you go.

Director Xiao.

You brothers are really attentive when it comes to Deju.

We... are attentive to all our clients.

Oh? Is Yunlan accepting partners beyond Deju?

Yes. The industry tends to tie our families together.

Actually, Yunlan has other partners besides Deju.

I wonder if you know about Jifeng Hotel in Wusu.

Jifeng Hotel?

Oh, I have an impression of them. In less than three months,

they turned losses into profits.

Actually, President Lan, I'm not sure if you want to hear something that may be offensive.

Go on.

I understand that your expenditures in Huadong Estate are 10% higher than average.

However, there weren't huge increases in your profits.

I wonder if you've sourced for management services for your four-star chain hotels.

Interesting. Share your ideas.

Sure.

[Xiao Shangqi]

These are new samples for the gifts.

Thank you.

[Xiao Shangqi]

Director Xiao.

This is the wedding invitation for President Zhao.

I'm Xiao Shangqi. You can call me Xiao Xiao.

[Xiao Shangqi]

D-Don't scare me.

Gosh. Just listening to music isn't good enough.

Performing live is the most satisfying.

It even has to be a music broadcast. Come on. Old He got you a spot in a music awards ceremony.

Hm?

I said Old He got you a chance yo perform at a music awards ceremony.

Oh. I'm not going.

When did you start listening to crosstalk instead?

Here. Play a song for me.

Get lost. Am I a free music player? If you want to hear a song, go out and listen.

I want to hear you perform.

Are you insane?

Hurry up.

Stop playing.

The strings are out of tune.

Isn't it good? How are they out of tune?

I'll play on another day.

What do you mean? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Fine!

I can no longer perform. Isn't this what you want to hear?

What do you mean?

Tang Yan inspired my rock and roll dream.

He bought this guitar and taught me how to play it.

Now that he's gone,

my beliefs have crumbled too.

It's not worthwhile to end up like this for a scumbag.

I think it's not worthwhile either.

But, right now,

I feel horrible looking at a guitar and the strings burn upon my touch.

It's a reflex, got it?

I hope you can understand. Thanks.

I only have one phrase for you. You've become useless.

What's with this post-breakup sickness? It's unlike you.

Sister Hui!

[Hupu Radio and TV Group] I researched the speed of this city's income increase.

I heard that Group B is using this topic. We may have to change our topic.

Why are you drinking so quickly? Are you feeling unwell?

I have no clue. Preparing for a wedding is exhausting.

Weddings are supposed to be tiring for the bride. Why are you so tired when you're just the bridesmaid?

Hello.

Let's have a meal tonight.

I can't make it. My lecture ends really late today. I still have to accompany Fei'er to the wedding dress shop after that.

The weather report states that it'll rain tonight.

It'll be hard to get a cab later and I'm still busy.

I'll send a car to pick you up.

Okay.

I found this.

This approach seems feasible.

[Cooperation Intention] We drafted a proposal.

This new brand will be established across the entire country

in a large-scale project. Yunlan will make great profits.

Sure. I'll pass this to my legal department.

If there aren't any problems, we can proceed accordingly.

Swift.

In the industry, Yunlan has a good reputation.

However, do you know the reason we've avoided cooperating with Yunlan for so many years?

Why?

You were just missing this glass of wine.

Your brother, Xiao Xian, doesn't drink a single glass of wine when entertaining clients.

He has lost so many business opportunities. To be frank, the disability with his leg

prevents him from entering many social circles.

Old Director Xiao made the right decision to bring you to the front lines.

Once you've made developments, you'll be even more accomplished than Xiao Xian.

At that time, Yunlan is bound to be yours.

When that happens, don't forget that this crucial step

came from my push.

I'll get going.

Take care.
