=A Date With The Future=

=Episode 12= (This Kiss Is A Direct Attack)

(I think)

(I messed everything up this time.)

(Peace.)

(What should I do?)

(Hello.)

(The number you've dialed is...)

Ms. Xu, Chief wants to have a meeting.

Tell him I'm taking the day off.

I have to go somewhere.

But...

(Go through fire and water, Serve the people whole-heartedly)

Lu Fangqi.

Where is Jin Shichuan?

Captain Jin is inside.

We just finished training.

Listen.

Since he came back

from that interview,

he has been very moody.

Today is his day off.

Go talk some sense into him.

I'm glad you're here, Ms. Xu.

Better go check

how he's doing.

Jin Shichuan!

Let's go.

Jin Shichuan!

What happened?

You won't answer my calls nor reply to my messages.

Can you just tell me what's wrong?

What did Huo do wrong?

I'm talking to you.

I don't have anything to say.

Jin Shichuan.

Are you okay? Did you sprain your ankle?

Not okay.

Do you know

my mind's been a mess

because of you the past two days?

Can't you just tell me?

What exactly is the problem?

Are you

going to marry Huo Yanzong?

Marry Huo Yanzong?

Answer me first.

Of course not.

He's my friend.

Are you really not marrying him?

No way.

Since the beginning, I, Xu Lai,

have only wanted you, Jin Shichuan.

So you got angry

because of this that day?

No.

Why didn't you just ask me?

Were you so scared

I was going to marry another guy?

I was not.

Who would've thought

the esteemed Captain Jin

is actually Mr. Jealous?

No, I'm not.

You are.

I'm not.

Mr. Jealous.

Mr. Jealous.

Mr. Jealous.

Now you've turned me into a mess.

Whenever I faced dangerous situations,

I could always deal with them calmly.

But with you, I can't.

You are definitely my outlier.

My foot is injured.

I can't ride my motorbike.

I'll send you back.

You know how to ride it?

I can even drive fire trucks.

No vehicle is too hard for me.

You're really an all-rounder.

What don't you know?

Am I heavy?

I climb up ten floors with weights every day.

Carrying you is no problem at all.

The key.

The key.

Can you really drive?

You already

gave yourself to me, right?

Just sit tight.

Hold onto my waist.

(In the past, I used to wonder)

(what happiness is.)

(How long is its validity?)

(I thought happiness)

(was momentary.)

(As brief as a firework display.)

(Quickly forgotten.)

(Now,)

(I seem to have finally found the answer.)

(Happiness is having anticipation.)

(To constantly reminisce the moments.)

(Just like many years later,)

(I would think back of the time)

(Jin Shichuan rode a motorbike)

(on an unremarkable afternoon)

(with me at the back.)

(Every time I think about it,)

(I'd feel the happiness.)

(Full of anticipation for the future.)

This is the revenue data of TC

for this quarter.

Compared to last quarter,

the overall net profit income

increased by 0.4 times.

The reason

we were able to achieve this

was mainly due

to the company's

newly launched product.

The mobile refrigerator.

Please look at the slides.

I've seen the quarterly report.

The results are pretty good.

We just purchased the mobile refrigerator company last year.

The group thought it would incur a huge loss.

Who knew that with your efforts,

we managed to turn a profit.

Thank you.

It's the result

of every senior staff's help.

We tried our best

to minimize production costs,

and push for market exposure

to ensure a profit.

I believe that having quick turnovers with minimal profit

to gain greater market share

is the way to improve overall sales.

In the next quarter, our plan

is to expand production and increase marketing.

We wish to attract more customers,

and fight for a bigger share of the market.

Personally,

TC is currently still expanding.

We should go for the win.

Naturally, that's only possible

with the group's financial support.

Regarding expanding the production,

I think

we shouldn't rush into it.

Better to be cautious.

Mr. Huo.

Is there anything you're worried about?

Sales is important, yes.

But it's more important to stabilize first.

But TC is currently...

At the current stage, attempting

to develop new markets

is much too early.

Wait a bit more.

Yes, sir.

TC made 20 percent of this quarter's profit

for the group.

By reason,

Mr. Huo should've supported the expansion.

Why was he adverse to it?

Mr. Huo probably has his reasons.

Like what?

He must be wary about TC

climbing up too quickly.

Let's go.

Sun Lei's proposal is pretty good.

Why not let him try?

Sun Lei dabbled in mining.

There are rumors of him being

too greedy for success.

If we give him more support at this time,

he might get ahead of himself.

A person who crosses the line for profit.

I will not take such risks.

Understood.

I heard you attended

the show Xu Lai hosted.

Jin Shichuan was there too.

Did you two love rivals

get into a fight?

Almost.

Seriously?

To be exact,

he was the one who wanted to hit me,

but I won.

He wanted to hit you but you won?

How did that happen? Tell me.

I have no time to explain.

I have to go.

Where to?

To look for Xu Lai.

The boy's grown wings now.

Get lost.

Didn't you hurt your foot?

It's fine now.

Is it?

Yeah.

That's good.

Watch where you're going next time.

Be careful. Take care of yourself.

I'll be off.

The last kiss was a counter attack.

What about this time?

A direct offense.

I don't know when it began.

But I realized

I've become more worried about you.

More concerned.

The more I wish to kiss you.

Hello?

(Hey, Captain Jin.)

(The unit has an emergency meeting.)

(They need you there.)

Okay, got it.

There's an emergency meeting.

I have to go.

Didn't you go to look for Xu Lai?

Why are you here by yourself?

I saw her with

Jin Shichuan.

Just that?

I'll drink with you.

You're quite the drinker.

Here you go.

Go on.

That's enough.

Stop drinking!

Stop it.

What's the point of you

brooding about it?

You should go to Xu Lai

and tell her.

Haven't I tried?

I wanted to find the right opportunity.

But seems like

I'm always a step too late.

Have you thought about it then?

What if Xu Lai really starts a relationship

with Jin Shichuan?

Then what?

I'll lose my mind.

Then go ahead. No need to hold back.

It'll be too late to stay sane.

The last kiss was a counter attack.

What about this time?

A direct offense.

(This is bad.)

(We only just parted,)

(and I'm already)

(missing you.)

(I wish to see you.)

(We'll see each other soon.)

He's here?

Huo, what are you doing here?

Why?

You seem disappointed to see me.

Not so.

Why did you come here so late?

Xu Lai.

Promise me.

Don't fall in love with somebody else, okay?

What are you talking about, Huo?

Did you drink?

No.

I'm not drunk.

I'm very sober.

What I'm about to say next

isn't some drunken nonsense.

And about what I said on the show

that day.

They're all true.

May I know what your

initial dream is?

And what made you change it?

My initial dream

was to become a soldier.

But I changed my ambition

because of a girl.

What a lucky girl she is.

She made you

give up military service to go into business.

Since we're on the topic,

I'd like to ask Mr. Huo

on behalf of all the women out there.

As an accomplished entrepreneur,

what is your criteria for your partner?

My criteria

is someone like you.

You jest, Mr. Huo.

Now, let's welcome the actress,

Yu Shishi.

Xu Lai.

I've been waiting

for the right opportunity

to confess my feelings to you.

But I can't wait anymore.

I can't watch another man

taking you away from me.

I love you.

I've loved you for 13 whole years.

Long before anyone else loves you.

I've loved you deeper and longer.

Wait a minute, Huo.

What exactly are you saying?

We grew up together.

You are my best friend.

You're like a brother to me.

I don't want to be just friends with you.

Nor am I your brother.

Xu Lai.

I'm being serious.

Wake up, Huo!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Can you please go back?

I need some time alone.

I know it's hard for you to accept it right now.

But I can wait.

(Are you asleep?)

(Goodnight.)

I haven't had the chance to tell her yet.

So I don't know.

I'm scared I might lose her if I tell her.

I might even lose a friend.

What? What's with that look?

Regretting it?

Yes, I am.

It's tiring being your friend,

you know?

Huo.

He confessed to me yesterday.

I guessed as much.

You did?

You think I'm as dense as you are?

Between you two,

one thinks too little,

while the other thinks too much.

Were you shocked

by Huo's confession?

Actually,

I can understand

why you've never noticed.

For one,

you two grew up together.

You've always been more tomboyish.

You probably never thought of Huo

as a male.

Secondly,

Huo hides his feelings too well.

He's too objective.

Always thinking about this and that.

When he was about to confess his feelings,

you went abroad.

Now that you came back,

Jin Shichuan appeared.

So,

since when did you know?

Since the earthquake.

I started suspecting it

when he went to look for you risking his life.

I was sure of it

when he changed his ambition during the college entrance exam.

Huo's dream had always been

to be like his father.

To be a soldier.

Because he wanted to go abroad to find you,

he made a deal

with his mother to do commerce instead.

Hello, Huo.

Huo?

What are you doing here?

Surprised?

I'm shocked.

I applied for the finance major

at this college.

Finance?

Xu Lai.

(Is he your boyfriend?)

No.

Why are you suddenly doing finance?

I was worried about you

being here alone,

so I came.

Are you serious?

Let me show you around.

Of course not.

Come on.

Let's go.

Isn't our campus beautiful?

Not bad. Just a little too cold.

Anyway,

what is your dream?

You go first.

Me?

My dream is to be a great

news reporter.

Respected and talented.

So good that I'm shining.

That way, I'd be able

to be with equally shining people.

What about you?

My dream is to...

I have another dream.

It's to find the fireman

who saved me years ago.

You mean the fireman

who saved you during the earthquake?

We made a ten-year promise back then.

After I grow up,

I'm going to look for him.

And yours?

Mine doesn't matter.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

If I had told you,

would you not

have fallen in love with Jin Shichuan?

I...

Xu Lai.

I get it.

You've been in love with Jin Shichuan for a long time.

But you know what?

Huo has loved you even longer.

Before you even met Jin Shichuan,

he'd already loved you.

He has always

been right behind you.

Maybe you should

take a proper look at him.

Listen.

Captain Jin's in a good mood today.

He must have made up

with Ms. Xu.

I'm guessing that's probably it.

You know what?

Yesterday, I saw

Captain Jin driving Xu Lai on the motorbike.

Xu Lai was holding onto his waist.

So intimate?

Could they really be dating?

No wonder

Captain's been so...

Is it normal

for a man in love to be so moody?

You're asking me?

I'm not in love.

How should I know?

I'm so jealous of Captain Jin.

I want to be in love too.

Oh, enough with you.

You don't even have a target.

Who are you going to date?

Who said I have no target?

Who? Who is it? Do I know her?

I doubt if you even talked

to a lady before.

That female doctor!

No wonder you've been

frequenting the hospital.

So you're pursuing a love interest.

Lu Fangqi.

There's nothing between Doctor Zang and me.

Nothing?

But,

it's true that I haven't seen Doctor Zang lately.

I wonder if she's doing okay.

Squad Leader.

Why don't you punch me?

Don't be silly.

I have to have a reason

to go see Doctor Zang.

I think you're really sick.

Lovesick.

More like being crazy.

Do your jobs properly.

Put this away.

I'm off, Captain Jin.

Captain Jin.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Captain Jin.

Let's go play basketball.

You guys go ahead.

We're off then.

See you.

Hello, Grandpa.

Brat,

how long has it been since you came home?

Do you even remember your grandpa?

I've been busy lately.

I was setting up the rescue team.

So I was at the training camp.

I don't care if the station captain

is busy.

You're my grandson.

I'm formally informing you.

You're coming home for dinner tonight.

Eat with this old man.

Got it.

I'll go see you tonight.

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

Are you alright?

(My initial dream)

(was to become a soldier.)

(But I changed my mind)

(because of a girl I like.)

(I just realized)

(that those)

(unassuming jokes)

(were all hiding his true feelings.)

(I know I won't be able to reciprocate)

(his feelings.)

(But I hope that one day)

(he will find)

(the real happiness for himself.)

Huo.

What brought you here?

I have something

to tell you face-to-face.

I'm sorry.

I was too impulsive...

I should be the one to say sorry.

I'm sorry.

I failed to notice

how you feel.

I took your kindness

for granted.

I'm sorry.

I made you stand

by yourself behind me.

And I've never turned around

to acknowledge you.

I don't need you to apologize.

Please let me finish.

I kept thinking on the way here.

What can I do for you?

What should I do for you?

I've thought about it for a long time,

and I finally came to a conclusion.

It's something I can't do

because of you.

I cannot continue

to accept your kindness

knowing how you feel.

And I don't want

to selfishly keep you to myself.

Say no more.

Huo.

We won't be able to become lovers.

Nor can I reciprocate your feelings.

So before you're able

to sort through your feelings,

we should stop contacting each other.

I'm afraid of hurting you.

And I don't know how to face you.

So,

am I about to lose you?

No.

We will always be best friends.

But being friends

is not what I want.

As a friend,

the only thing I can do

is to move on.

That's the best outcome for us.

Xu Lai.

Did the setting up of the rescue team

go smoothly?

Yes, it was. Every member passed.

I met Wen.

He praised you,

saying what a capable leader you are.

And you are a reliable trainer.

He should have expected it from my grandson.

I never worried about you when you were a student.

Now that you're a working adult,

I don't worry either.

The only thing

that makes me worry

is your personal life.

I can't sleep easy.

This weekend,

make some time to come home.

My old comrade, Qiao,

is coming for a visit

with his granddaughter.

Get to know her.

Grandpa.

How many times has it been?

How many more old comrades do you have?

Seriously, not many.

Shichuan, if you don't hurry up,

my old friends' granddaughters

would all be married.

I'm not in a hurry.

Are you really not going

to get married?

Are you going to be single forever?

Grandpa.

Actually I...

Hush.

Are you going to tell me

how dangerous your work is,

and you can't serve both the country and the family?

I understand.

I just feel bad because

I won't be able to answer to your parents.

Forgive me for being blunt.

When I die,

I won't have the face to see them.

Grandpa.

Don't talk about death.

So ominous.

Let's just eat.

Don't be upset. Eat.

I have my own plan.

Chuan.

It's midnight.

Why don't you go to sleep?

When daddy comes back,

we can cut the cake tomorrow.

No.

I'm going to wait for Dad

and blow the candles together.

(Hello?)

(Mrs. Jin.)

(Something happened to Captain Jin.)

(While carrying out a mission)

(at the site of a fire,)

(he got seriously injured.)

(He's at the People's Hospital)

(undergoing emergency treatment.)

(But the situation is dire.)

(You have to be prepared.)

(I'll be right there.)

Mom.

Did something happen to Dad?

Mom.

Where is Dad?

What's happened?

Mom.

I can't see anything.

Mom?

Mom.

What's wrong?

Mom.

Mom.

What's the matter with you?

Mom, what's wrong?

Wake up!

Wake up.

Please wake up.

Mom, what's wrong?

What's wrong with you?

Mom!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, please wake up!

Shichuan.

I know there's a burden in your heart.

All these years,

I haven't had a proper talk with you

about it.

But now you're a grown man.

You are mature.

You should know that

you are you.

Your parents are their own persons.

What happened to them back then

was an accident.

It doesn't mean that

you would be like them,

unable to build

a stable family.

Grandpa.

I have someone I like.

You do?

Did you just meet her?

Yes.

Actually, no.

We met ten years ago.

Ten years?

Who are you bluffing?

Why haven't you told me about it then?

If it's been ten years,

then bring her here right now

and show me.

I haven't

officially asked her out yet.

Once we're officially together,

I'll invite her here right away.

Okay?

Then confirm your relationship

with her right now,

and then bring her to me.

I have to get back to work.

Trust me. I'm not lying to you.

Once it's confirmed,

I will bring her here, okay?

Stop looking at this.

Trust me. Stop worrying so much.

Wear your glasses.

Alright. I'm leaving.

I didn't lie.

That brat is so mysterious.

Is he for real?

(Hello.)

(The number you've dialed)

(has incoming call alert enabled.)

(Your call has...)

Peace.

Do you miss her too?
