BASED ON THE NOVEL EVERYONE LOVES ME BY QIAO YAO

DOMINATION ARCADE INFERNO ARCADE MACHINES

Everyone.

There are only two teams left

to participate

in the Domination Arcade tournament.

I hereby declare

the final round,

start!

-Go! -Go!

-You can do it! -Go!

Let me set the rules.

Don't destroy the machine.

I can only promise not to completely destroy it.

I can overlook being bullied at work, but who would dare bully me here?

You really think you're a bossy CEO now, don't you?

Snap out of it.

Excuse me, do you charge for speaking every minute?

The Internet was down. What can I do?

Tell me! What can I do when the Internet's down?

I can't send anything out. Who should I go to? Tell me!

It pisses me off!

You there, show yourself.

It still didn't hit the spot.

I'll mess him properly next time.

Were you my opponent?

Jiang Junnan.

Gu...

You played well.

So-so. It was okay.

Even if I played better, you won't be impressed either.

Had we known it was you two, we wouldn't have been so aggressive.

Right, Yin Xue?

What do you mean by that?

Who are you looking down on?

We were playing with our eyes closed.

Come. Sit back down. Let's go again.

Victory is still up in the air.

What Mr. Jiang said

might not be hurtful,

but it's very insulting.

Mr. Gu, we were just warming up.

Why don't we go again?

Do you dare?

Why is she suddenly so angry?

What are you saying? Speak louder.

Watch your image.

I am

only like this when I'm too angry or upset.

I can tell.

That's why I won't dig my own grave.

If we go again,

we might not win.

Let's go. The movie's starting soon.

-What movie? -Let's go.

Yue Qianling, your drawing...

No, wait. Why not clear the air?

It's just a misunderstanding. You know that.

She'll be working under Jiang Yishi in the future,

and we've already chosen someone else.

No, but you've confirmed her drawing will do too.

She drew well. You wanted her in the first place.

Jiang Junnan,

shouldn't you practice more?

You were defeated over a dozen times.

Don't change the topic.

Still, the way Yue Qianling blew up

sounded like someone else.

ANOTHER WIN

Annoyed. Let's go.

What are you annoyed about?

My crush thinks...

Work problems.

It's so annoying.

Are you playing?

What are you doing?

Playing with the girls?

What happened at work?

Tell us.

Forget it. I don't want to talk.

Are we going to play?

Let's play.

Let's go one-on-one.

Your headshots

might not be hurtful, but they're very insulting.

I was just warming up.

Let's go again.

I'll knock your teeth out.

What Mr. Jiang said

might not be hurtful,

but it's very insulting.

Mr. Gu, we were just warming up.

Why don't we go again?

Do you dare?

Yue Qianling?

-Dough Twist? -Hurry up.

Are they...

Okay. Let's go again.

Are you letting me win?

No. You're just strong.

You're the most skilled person I've ever met.

Don't be angry. You'll get wrinkles.

I'm done.

Dough Twist?

Dough Twist?

Yin Xue.

Let me ask you something.

What is it?

Well, when a friend you game with

suddenly goes easy on you,

what does it mean?

How so?

Well, he lets you win,

and when you go one-on-one,

it's an amazing win.

Who is it?

The one who wished me a happy new year.

Most high-ranking players prioritize their win-loss ratio.

He lets you win.

Does he like you?

How can it be?

He's not happy unless he can poke fun at me.

If you don't get together with Gu Xun, you can consider this friend of yours.

Maybe he's more handsome than Gu Xun.

Am I the kind of person who cares about looks?

Even if Gu Xun wasn't handsome, I would still like him.

I get it.

Gu Xun is your one true love.

ANOTHER WIN

Do you like me?

Where are you?

Another round?

You're insulting me.

How could I dare?

Dismissed.

He lets me win because he likes me?

No way.

I...

Left.

What are you doing? Use the magnum sniper rifle and attack.

-How can I use it now? -Shoot.

So many people.

Move aside.

You're great at this.

Do you play

FPS games?

I despise games

that are all about killing.

I didn't expect you to be so good at games.

Get it?

You played well.

Mr. Gu, play one round with us.

FEEDER BOY

That's not the right username.

How can Yue Qianling be Sticky Dough Twist?

I don't play with low-ranked players.

It's not settled yet who the low-ranked player is here.

So arrogant.

Who are you calling arrogant?

I was talking about him.

I'm defending you.

Thank you,

my dear apprentice.

Play with me next time.

You played very well.

Okay.

I'm off, Shi Bo.

Yue Qianling.

We received your drawing afterward.

I can tell

that you've leaned into the Eastern art style.

The many shades of color harmonize yet stand out at the same time.

You brought the character's powerful aura to life

yet also showcased his anxiety at going against an enemy.

I was wrong before.

Regardless of the praise,

it still wasn't used.

I told you,

Gu Xun is not an unreasonable man.

There had to be a misunderstanding.

Yes.

Gu Xun is good because of this and that.

Gu Xun is the best man in the world.

Of course.

Can the man I like be bad?

Can you still go there now?

To go or not to go,

that's not important.

The key

is that Gu Xun praised me.

You've come alive again.

That's good.

I heard that their department

has been working late again.

I wonder if he's had dinner yet.

Say,

should I deliver some supper

to him?

Why do you suddenly seem smart?

You know that you need to make a move now.

The previous tactic was too subtle.

It was ineffective.

Also, I realized

that Gu Xun's attitude toward me has changed.

He didn't talk to me much,

but now he praised me.

I must be

more proactive

to win his heart

as soon as possible.

Ambitious. You need to get back on your feet.

After your delivery,

see if you can find a chance to take it a step further.

Won't I

be moving too fast?

After all,

we're not officially dating yet.

Wouldn't it be too soon

to have intimate contact?

Qianling,

is your mind in the gutter?

I meant to get him to send you home.

It was not.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You're mistaken.

Well then, I'm going to get him supper.

My noodles!

Gu Xun, what are your plans for the new year?

What do you need?

Shall we go to Yunnan for a holiday?

It's rare to have so many days off.

We're all going together. The more the merrier.

No.

Why not?

I'll be with my girlfriend over the new year.

Are you cold?

Thank you.

Show me.

-Is it okay? -See.

Isn't it nice?

You're back.

Qianling, grab a parcel for me.

I have to go. See you.

What is it?

Weren't you delivering Gu Xun supper?

What is it?

He didn't accept it?

Why are you crying?

Did someone bully you?

No one bullied me.

I just found out

that Gu Xun has a girlfriend.

What?

Impossible.

If he has a girlfriend,

there's no way she was never spotted.

Could you be mistaken?

She could be

a friend

or a sister.

I heard him say

he's staying home with his girlfriend for the new year.

Don't cry.

It's fine.

There are millions of men out there. We can always find another.

I'll pour you a glass of water.

THREE MONTHS LATER

Qianling.

Look at this.

"Team building."

Does everyone have to go?

Yes.

And this time, we can bring our family along.

Our company's benefits are quite nice.

That means

Gu Xun will bring his girlfriend.

I'll be busy with my graduation then.

I won't be going.

How can you say that?

Are you waiting

for Yishi to ask you?

Yishi is the type of man

who is most keen

on team-building activities.

If you draw his fury now,

you might be unemployed when you graduate.

Anyway,

you say you're busy with graduation, but look over there

at the Ninth Business Unit.

Don't they have two lead managers

who are graduating too?

If you use this excuse,

won't it be a stretch?

Let's go.

You have to go.

I just don't get you.

DOUGH TWIST

You have the curves and the beauty.

You have enough admirers to go around the track 50 times.

No. 50 is an exaggeration.

Five is more likely.

Is Gu Xun different from them?

You don't get it.

Gu Xun

is just different.

Is this it?

Is it?

Where did the company assign us?

It must be this building.

What's with you?

Nothing.

But I've seen you

brooding recently.

Matters of the heart?

There's nothing to be happy about.

Mr. Jiang,

I heard

that we can bring family members

to our company event.

Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?

Gu Xun as well.

Gu Xun doesn't have a girlfriend.

As for me, my standards are too high.

I can't find anyone.

Doesn't he have a girlfriend? That's what I heard.

Who created that lie?

Gu Xun

has never dated before.

He has always been single.

Girlfriend?

He has none.

It's delicious.

No, wait.

I heard him say that he's staying home with his girlfriend for the new year.

Girlfriend?

That's his usual trick to reject others.

I see him use it at least ten times a year.

It's a critical strike

that ends all future attempts.

No one will ask him then.

Amazing.

Relax. He's not taken.

I see. He said that to reject others.

-Mr. Jiang, have some more. -Thank you.

Eat more.

This one is delicious.

Have more of it.

Everyone, let's eat.

-Have more. -Thank you.

Have some more.

Why are you happy that Gu Xun...

doesn't have a girlfriend?

I'm not.

I'm having fun at the company team-building event.

Having fun?

Then why

is your face red?

Ignore me.

It's the heat.

I had a drink, okay?

It's the heat from the alcohol?

Okay.

Later on,

at the masquerade ball, what are you going as?

What is Gu Xun going as?

Come closer.

Golden mask.

This man looks like Gu Xun.

Good evening, everyone.

Soon, we will be playing some games.

The first game we'll be playing

for the night

is a variant of the game

Red Light, Green Light.

Everyone is wearing a mask today.

No one knows who's who, right?

The rules are simple.

It's almost the same as the game we played as kids,

but today,

anyone who fails to cross the finish line

within one minute

will be given a very special "prize"

based on their outfit.

Is everyone ready?

Let's start!

One, two, three,

red light!

Over here and here.

You're all out.

Okay. Let's go again.

One, two, three,

red light!

Over here and here.

Disqualified.

One, two, three,

red light!

This entire group here is out.

Okay. Let's go again.

One, two, three,

red light!

Time is up.

We now have a princess

and a prince.

Shall we invite our prince and princess to the stage?

We have one guy and one girl.

Tell me,

what punishment...

No. What reward should we give?

In that case, we'll have them stare

into each other's eyes for 30 seconds. What do you think?

-Boo! -Boo!

-Kiss! -Kiss!

Why do I hear everyone calling for a kiss?

Okay. Let's do that then.

Kiss!

We still don't know

who our prince and princess is.

How about this? Let's reveal them.

We will all take off our masks too,

okay?

-Qianling? -Qianling?

No. The golden mask?

It's you.

Mr. Gu.

Your mask is quite cool.

It suits your outfit.

I think it suits me too,

doesn't it?

You can wear it then.

Thank you.

Why is it you?

Shall we

begin the kiss?

-Kiss! -Kiss!

-Kiss! -Kiss!

I'm a little shy.

Yes.

It's unfair for the girl.

Why don't we do something else? Okay?

Then

we'll change it to the noses.

Touch noses for 30 seconds, okay?

Everyone, shall we change it

to touching noses for 30 seconds?

-Yes! -Yes!

Now let's say it together.

Touch noses.

-Touch noses. -Touch noses.

-Touch noses. -Touch noses.

-Touch noses. -Touch noses.

-Touch noses. -Touch noses.

Let me do it.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Wow, Mr. Gu!

Mr. Gu, your way of resolving the situation

is unique.

Thank you.

No problem.

Let's thank our brave hero

along with our prince and princess.

What's with you?

Why are you so happy?

Let me show you

a secret weapon

that I have.

What is that?

Let me tell you,

the other departments have already started their team gatherings.

Just look at what we're doing.

It's so boring.

I brought this along.

The hangover cure that works

even after a thousand drinks.

It's useless now.

Did you know that everyone in the Ninth Business Unit is drunk now?

They're having so much fun.

What did you say?

The Ninth Business Unit is drunk?

Does that mean Gu Xun is drunk as well?

Lend this to me.

I haven't even had a single sip yet.

It's settled.

In this life,

we'll be the best of friends.

When it comes to alcohol,

you are my brother.

My tolerance level

is trash.

Who am I?

I can't drink at all.

-I... -You're Gu, right? Gu.

We're good. Right?

You...

-Are you okay? -Qianling.

-Yes, that's me. -You're Qianling.

The way you played...

My goodness.

Are you okay?

Let's play together next time,

okay?

Okay.

I actually...

I actually...

I...

I like...

Yue Qianling,

you can't do it.

You can't, Yue Qianling.

You can't be like this.

You can't. You can't take advantage of him.

There's plenty of time.

You can do it in the future.

What time is it?

It's 3:00 p.m., Gu Xun.

I never knew you were such a heavy sleeper.

You were like a pig.

How did I get back?

Is there something going on

between you and Yue Qianling?

She brought you back last night.

Did you forget that?

Open up!

No way. Why didn't you bring...

-Take this. -What is it?

Take it.

Wait.

Why are you together?

Stop asking. It's none of your business. Take him.

Remember to make him drink that.

Remember.

-Don't worry. I'll do it. -He must take that. Don't forget.

-No problem. Just go. -Take care of him.

No way.

How much did you drink?

If you don't drink...

Come on, Gu Xun. They have all left. We're the only ones here.

Hurry up.

Stop spacing out, okay?

Why don't I remember anything?

I'll give you this.

You let me win?

Are you selling the account?

What's going on?

You're in a good mood.

You can never understand the heart of a young woman.

Are you in a good mood

because you have good news about you and that guy?

All I think

is that I have high hopes.

Are you close to him?

You can say that.

Let me ask you something.

If someone

is indifferent to you most of the time

but is very protective at key moments,

does that mean they like you?

That's just the basic decency.

Perhaps he'll protect even a dog.

You don't get it.

This person is usually quite cold

and doesn't like to speak.

However...

Forget it.

If you like him, confess to him.

What's the point of telling me?

Confess?

Go confess to him.

Otherwise, the crush will never bear fruit.

Will you be happy with that?

Scared?

It's just one confession.

Is it that hard?

At most, you'll be harshly rejected.

Don't be scared.

It can be embarrassing, but you won't know until you've tried it.

At worst, you'll be eternal enemies,

never to contact each other again.

You're graduating soon.

Embody the impulsiveness of youths.

Don't leave room for regrets.

No way.

You're really scared?

Why would I be scared?

The youth of today

only seduce and tempt others.

Love confessions

are considered antiques from centuries ago.

Further Mathematics is also an antique from centuries ago.

-Do you understand it? -Shut up, you.

Who needs it anyway?

I'm graduating.

I don't have the time.

I'm the same.

How can I criticize her?

A confession...

Really?

You told Dough Twist to confess to her crush?

What were you thinking?

Are you sacrificing her?

I'm using reverse psychology.

When it comes to Dough Twist,

don't be fooled by her aggressive gameplay.

She's a coward when it comes to love.

The more I provoke her,

the more frightened she is.

Encouraging her on the surface,

but scaring her off in reality.

By now, she has likely thought

of 100 ways she could be rejected.

As long as she doesn't confess,

you'll still stand a chance.

Gu Xun,

when did you become this evil?

Graduation is tomorrow.

It's so fast.

Qianling, do you remember that her hair was long at the start?

I remember that.

I look better now, right?

Let's check it out.

Why does everyone choose graduation season to confess their love?

How lame.

You're just angry no one confessed to you.

Do I need one?

I don't need a boyfriend.

Fan,

I've liked you for a long time.

Will you be my girlfriend?

-Say yes! -Say yes!

Yes.

I will.

Dough Twist. Hunk.

What's going on?

Do I need to invite you?

Get on.

I'm not joining. I'm going to bed.

When did you become an old lady?

I'm graduating tomorrow morning.

Dough Twist.

I heard from Campus Hunk that you're going to confess.

How is it going?

Campus Hunk?

No way. You haven't done it yet?

You still haven't done it?

What are you afraid of?

Of course, she's afraid of rejection.

Shut up.

Are you getting angry now?

You haven't been rejected already, right?

To the best time of our lives!

All hail our youth!

You're graduating soon.

Embody the impulsiveness of youths.

Don't leave room for regrets.

MEMORIES WRITTEN IN THE SANDS OF TIME

GRADUATION SEASON WE DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO YOUTH

MARCH BRAVELY ONWARD

THE DREAMS OF YOUTH

DONGNING UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

You're very pretty.

You're a fallen angel.

Gu Xun will definitely be enthralled by you.

Really?

Don't you think

I look a little haggard?

Then

put on more lipstick.

Lipstick?

Qianling, you're going to your commencement ceremony,

not your wedding.

What made you suddenly think of confessing?

I'm in my youth.

I have to be impulsive.

I can't make room for regrets.

It's just a confession.

At most, I'll fail.

You've never been so clear-headed before.

Try this out.

This looks good too.

Okay.

I'll put some blush on you.

Can you draw a mark here?

Hello?

Hey, Qianling, I'm done with my college entrance examination.

My parents and I are at your home. Can I play games on your computer?

Okay. No problem.

Can I log into your account?

You have so many beautiful skins.

Sure.

Do I look nice?

However,

my ranking is a little higher.

You might be matched with some strong players.

Is that okay?

It's fine.

I'm playing duo with a really good classmate who I like.

I understand now.

Go have fun.

Thank you, Qianling.

Try this as well.

I'm so pretty.

GRADUATION SEASON WE DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO YOUTH

Yue Qianling.

You're Yue Qianling, right?

Are you

and Gu Xun...

-An enemy appears. -She might not be one.

Are you and Gu Xun coworkers?

I want to ask,

what kind of girl

does Gu Xun like?

I want to ask him out.

Your enemy this time is quite beautiful.

Go on.

She's very beautiful.

Well, actually

I'm not too close to him.

He's quite a cold man.

I see.

I can only confess to him outright.

Shoot.

What if she confesses first?

What do I do?

Confess?

That's right.

I really like him.

I want to confess to him now.

Wait.

You see, it's like this.

I might not be close to him,

but I do understand him

better than most.

He likes girls...

who are great at gaming.

Think about it.

He works at a game company.

Naturally, he would like girls who can play well.

Anyway, she just needs to be a good gamer.

Even if she likes to curse, shout,

and go on a killing spree, it's all okay.

Is that so?

Also, he prefers girls

who are honest,

outspoken,

and feisty.

It's best if she's a very imaginative girl.

It's also good if she's funny.

My lies won't lead to a backlash, right?

Whatever.

Why would he like a girl like that?

He's an amazing person.

Of course he's not like the others.

Anyway,

I've tried it out a few times at work.

It works well.

Dear God,

everything I say is the exact opposite.

Don't strike me down.

Does it really work?

Of course.

Actually, my personality

is quite demure and quiet,

but he doesn't like that.

I have no choice

but to go against who I am

to make myself loud.

He instantly noticed me then.

Still, I have to make it clear

that I only did it for work.

I don't feel a single thing for him.

I see.

I'll get ready before I confess to him then.

Good luck.

He's a man.

They're all easy to please.

Gu Xun is no exception.

Prepare well.

I wish you luck.

She has been pretending this whole time.

Thank you.

GRADUATION SEASON WE DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO YOUTH

THE DREAMS OF YOUTH

Students, you have now graduated.

Let's take a photo together.

Okay. How does my hair look?

It's okay.

Thank you.

Gu Xun, can I take a photo with you?

Look over here.

Take one with me.

What are you doing?

She must be looking for Gu Xun.

I'm not. What's with you?

-Over there. -Gu Xun,

you'll be making a speech later on behalf of the graduates,

I'll tidy you up first.

-All done. -Thank you.

Why is Dough Twist playing a duo?

Duo?

Look.

ASHER, FAAAN, STICKY DOUGH TWIST

He's over there.

Hurry over.

ANOTHER WIN

Is this your crush?

YES. I'VE LIKED HIM FOR A LONG TIME

Are you really going to confess?

HOW'D YOU KNOW? LOOKING FOR A CHANCE.

He's right before you.

Seize your chance.

What chance?

-The chance to confess, Qianling. -That's right.

-Go now. -Go, what?

One. Two. Three. Go!

Gu Xun.

I actually have...

always liked you.
