BASED ON THE NOVEL EVERYONE LOVES ME BY QIAO YAO

Qianling.

Tang Xin,

why are you here?

I'm here on business.

It's just as well since Mrs. Yue has something for you.

I messaged you, but you didn't reply,

so I came here myself.

I'm so sorry. I've been too busy to check my phone lately.

It's fine.

I know where you live anyway,

so I came over.

I'll drive you to work.

Okay.

Yue Qianling.

Didn't we agree to go to work together?

Why didn't you wait for me?

Qianling.

Is this the boyfriend you met

through gaming that you mentioned?

That's right.

That's great. Really.

I just envy you two.

You even have the time to game.

Hello, my name is Tang Xin.

I'm Yue Qianling's

childhood friend.

You can consider me her brother.

I'm Gu Xun,

Yue Qianling's boyfriend

and boss.

Her boss?

Hello, sir.

No wonder you could win Qianling's heart.

It's because you're her boss.

Isn't that right?

What do you mean by that?

I meant it literally.

You guys...

Qianling, it's time to go to work. My car is outside.

-It's okay. -It's okay.

Let's not trouble other people.

I can drive her.

We go to work together every day.

Am I considered "other people"?

I remember when Qianling was a kid,

she would always cling to me.

After school, she would refuse to go home

and wait at the school gates for me, right?

Back then,

I was still young.

By the way, Qianling,

I'm actually here in Jiangcheng

to attend my friend's wedding.

It's this weekend. I want you to be my date.

Just attend the wedding.

Why do you need a date?

We're Chinese.

We don't follow Western practices.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. He's rather blunt.

Please don't mind him.

However, I might be busy this weekend.

I might have to work overtime.

You have to work overtime on weekends?

Boss, what company do you work at?

Why is there work on the weekend?

It's fine.

If you can't go, I won't go.

Then this weekend

I can go to the hospital

for a checkup for my myocarditis.

Then you won't be attending your friend's wedding?

I won't.

I'll book an appointment with a doctor

to do a follow-up checkup on my heart.

You know I have a bad heart.

That's not good.

It's a friend's wedding,

and would the hospital even be open on the weekend?

Specialists probably wouldn't be working.

I have a friend.

I'll just go with my friend then.

Mr. Tang,

why did you push me?

I pushed you?

What are you saying?

He has myocarditis and needs to see a doctor.

Why would he push you?

That's right.

Qianling, let's go.

Are you really okay?

I'm really fine. I'll just call my friend.

Okay.

Myocarditis?

TANG XIN

Qianling, I bought you a dress and a pair of shoes.

They'll be delivered soon.

I'm not going to the wedding.

I can't accept them.

They were custom-made

to your measurements. They can't be returned.

If you really feel bad about it, treat me to lunch.

We're quite busy,

so we usually eat lunch near our office.

Let's eat around your office then. It's a deal.

Yue Qianling,

your delivery is here.

You're such a nice guy.

These are big bags.

This dress feels nice.

It can't be cheap.

That's enough. Stop looking. I'm already troubled by it.

Did a man send them?

A man you don't like?

But I think he likes me.

If you think so,

then you should have faith in your instincts.

They're usually right.

Also, if you don't like this man,

you shouldn't string him along.

Get it over with quickly.

That makes sense.

Well, I'll be having lunch

at the newly opened restaurant downstairs.

You don't need to wait for me.

I'll get it over with quickly.

Hurry up. Come.

I'm coming.

Do you guys know what to eat yet?

-No. -What do you want to eat?

How about something light?

This place is good and there's a promotion.

I want noodles.

I don't want noodles.

Then...

-Let's just... -A light meal then.

Fine. Let's just go for a light meal, okay?

Huang Jie.

-Mr. Gu. -What a coincidence.

Is Yue Qianling not with you today?

She went downstairs for Japanese food. She's meeting someone.

Here, Qianling.

-Have more of this. -Okay.

It's not fattening at all.

Right.

I really can't accept these.

I really cannot

return these either.

In that case, how much were they? I'll pay you back.

Are you joking?

How can I give you a gift

and ask you to pay for it?

-That's not right. -I really can't take these.

It's fine. Take them.

Let's put them here, okay?

Okay?

-Here. -Qianling.

What a coincidence.

I was supposed to meet someone here,

but they stood me up.

You don't mind if I join you, right?

-Why don't you sit... -I'm glad you don't mind. Sit.

Sit.

Qianling,

didn't you tell Mr. Tang

that you don't like food this bland?

Sir, give us a plate of cilantro.

-Here it is. Sorry for the wait. -Thank you.

That's certainly my fault.

I'm sorry, Qianling.

I should have asked you

what you usually like to eat beforehand.

You don't need to.

It's fine.

You can just ask me anything you want to know.

After all...

Qianling and I are together every day.

Is that so?

Qianling, I've always wanted to ask you this.

Did the two of you

just get back together after breaking up?

That's because when I asked

your mom about you,

she told me

that you were still single.

Qianling,

I am someone

you've known for 20 years,

who grew up with you, like an older brother.

I have to tell you

that in this day and age, there are all sorts of people.

You must keep your eyes peeled

to avoid being cheated

because you have no idea what he might be really after.

-Remember that. -Okay.

But I think

-Gu Xun probably... -Qianling.

That's enough.

You were friends for 20 years.

Please don't fight over me.

It's my bad.

I neglected what others would think.

It's unfair to you.

That's enough. Pretend I said nothing.

I'm just worried

about Qianling.

I actually understand

what you mean.

I especially admire

the relationship between childhood friends.

You're not like me.

I've never known any girls growing up,

not even the daughter of a neighbor.

Thus, I don't understand how to get along with girls.

Luckily, I met Qianling.

She tolerates me.

Fan Xing is calling me.

I'll answer it.

-Be careful. -Hello.

The dress and shoes are from you, right?

They're quite nice.

However,

I don't want my girlfriend to wear clothes given by other people.

How about this, Mr. Tang?

-I'll pay you the cost. -It's fine. They're gifts for Qianling.

-It's none of your business. -No, you must accept the money.

Otherwise, you'll feel bad.

What on earth do you mean by that?

You'll know once you accept the money.

Are you crazy?

-I'm sorry. I didn't... -What are you doing?

-I wasn't looking. -What is it?

He intentionally spilled this on the new dress.

I didn't mean to.

I've already transferred you the money, brother.

Don't call me that.

He already said he didn't mean to.

He...

Was it really accidental?

It's fine, Qianling. Just throw them out.

-No way. -Never mind. Let him deal with it.

It won't do. We can't wipe this clean.

I'll take them to be cleaned.

-I'll go right now. -Wait.

Don't bother. Don't you have an important meeting?

These clothes are more important than my meeting.

I'll go right now.

Come with me, Qianling.

Let's go.

You can just go by yourself.

Qianling.

We're already far away. Quit the act.

If I don't walk faster,

I'm afraid your childhood friend will run out and punch me.

Your manipulative ways have improved.

I can only say we're an even match.

I had no other choice.

But it's a pity the new dress is ruined.

There's nothing to be sad about.

We'll take it to the dry cleaners later.

Do you really think you're my boyfriend?

By the way, I'll pay you for the clothes later.

Are you drawing a line between us already?

Then how about I play along a little longer?

We'll keep up the act

until Tang Xin goes back home.

Let's go. We have to go back to work.

Why is there no power?

Did the circuit breaker trip?

It's not going

to explode, right?

NO SIGNAL

Since management is so busy

that you still can't fix this, even after constant urging,

I'll have to do it myself.

Can you really fix it?

It'll be serious if something goes wrong.

Don't worry.

I'll take full accountability.

Gu Xun.

NO SIGNAL

YUE QIANLING

Qianling.

Qianling?

Tang Xin?

Why didn't you close your door?

You didn't even turn on the lights.

Why are you here?

I'll be leaving tomorrow, so I wanted to say goodbye.

What is it?

I think my circuit breaker tripped.

The wires inside must have burned,

and the overload protection kicked in.

You shouldn't touch this.

I'll ask the management to fix this.

Okay.

Right.

Doesn't your boyfriend live across from you?

Why isn't he around?

Unfortunately,

he's out right now.

Fine. Pull out all the plugs in your home.

I'll be back soon.

Stupid Gu Xun.

When I need you, you're not here.

The surveillance cameras are fixed.

I hope the security here

will improve with this.

It will.

Your expertise really helped us a lot.

Thank you.

MISSED CALLS - YUE QIANLING

I've checked all the wires.

No electrical leakage was found. Don't worry.

-Okay, thanks. -Thanks.

No problem.

By the way, sir,

how much is the repair cost? I'll pay you.

No, I can pay him myself.

Don't worry about it.

There's really no need. Sir, let me.

-I'll pay. -No, I'll pay.

Dear.

I'm back.

Why are you only back now?

The power went out just now.

Sorry, I was late.

We've troubled you, Mr. Tang.

Let me pay.

-It's done. -Okay.

-I'll be off now. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -It's fine.

Mr. Tang.

Are you okay?

Your boyfriend didn't do it

on purpose this time, right?

It was really an accident this time.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Mr. Gu,

when you're dating someone,

you need to have a sense of responsibility.

You can't find excuses because of work.

If I wasn't here this time,

what would Qianling have done?

She's her family's precious treasure.

If her parents find out,

they'll be very upset.

They won't.

My parents don't interfere with such things.

Qianling,

it's my fault.

I'll be by your side 24/7 from now on.

Can you not be so clingy?

Let's give each other some space, okay?

Am I clingy?

I'll be going now, Qianling.

Mr. Tang, I'll walk you out.

Let's go.

That's enough. You don't need to walk me out.

Actually, you don't need to put on an act in front of me.

You and Qianling

aren't that close.

We don't need to show outsiders

whether we're close or not.

I like Qianling a lot.

I won't be swayed because of any external factors.

We'll only get closer.

As for you, Mr. Tang,

you're getting on with age.

You should act with an adult's maturity.

Stop using your childhood friendship as an excuse.

Okay.

You should also stop being a wimp

and take good care of Qianling.

Otherwise, I'll be back again.

Have a nice trip.

You are...

You're out late.

Your clothes...

Well, I'm doing an undercover investigation.

Two days ago, your girlfriend

was being followed, right?

I'm here to patrol the area

and see if anyone suspicious is around.

Thank you for your help.

Well, I'm off.

Hello.

Are you back?

Are we still acting? I'm so sick of it.

This is the exact moment when we need to test our skills.

Behave. I'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Stay at my place until I return

to avoid any bad guys breaking into your home.

Okay. Stay safe.

The act isn't over yet.

When you're home alone,

eat well and rest well.

You too.

Take care of your health.

Don't miss me too much.

I'm off.

Are you having fun?

It really is you.

-I'll kill you, stalker! -Yue Qianling!

-Calm down! -No!

-I'll beat him up! -Let's call the police first.

You're stepping on my foot.

I'm sorry.

Why did you drag me here?

You have the wrong man. It wasn't me.

JIANGCHENG POLICE

How did you capture him?

I kept thinking the shoes he was wearing

looked very familiar.

Also, one day,

he was lurking around the area

outside of working hours.

He looked suspicious.

So I set up a trap for him

and waited for him to take the bait.

Hello.

Are you back?

I have a lead on your stalker,

but to capture him in the act,

you'll need to put on a show with me.

This man...

is someone you know.

I'm here to extend my parking spot.

Okay.

Didn't I tell you? I'm busy.

The password is the same. It's the last four digits of my ID card.

Help me do it. Okay.

I deliberately let him overhear the password to my home.

Excuse me. I've logged it. Thank you.

Thank you.

Behave. I'll be back the day after tomorrow.

Stay at my place until I return

to avoid any bad guys breaking into your home.

Okay.

You had the right idea.

People like this

observe the residents' shoe cabinets

to roughly determine the number of people living there.

Then he'll search for a target he can get to.

No wonder.

My shoe cabinet

only holds my shoes.

Women living alone

are precisely their targets.

So the odd state of your shoe cabinet that I noticed that day

must have been his doing when he was scouting the building.

He might've done it

so that he remembers which unit he can target.

Good job, kid.

You broke the case nearly as fast as a police officer.

Your girlfriend won't break up with you now, right?

But you should contact us immediately next time

and not act on your own.

Are you still going to break up with me?

That depends on your performance.

MOTHER-IN-LAW

You have a mother-in-law?

Hi, Mrs. Yue.

Hey, Xiaogu.

Are you busy?

Mom.

Qianling,

why are you there as well?

Mom, why are you calling Gu Xun?

None of your business. I have to talk to him.

Xiaogu, when I was cleaning up the house today,

I found my photos from high school.

I spotted your mom.

I really want to chat with her.

It has been so many years since we last met.

Mrs. Yue,

I'll share my mom's contact information with you.

You're such a good kid.

It's nothing.

Okay.

I won't disturb you two now.

-Mom, what are you saying? -I'm hanging up.

Wait. Why did you save my mom's contact as "Mother-in-law" for no reason?

That's not appropriate.

Your surname is Yue.

It means "Mother Yue." Should I save it as "Father Yue"?

What's with you?

Are you hurt?

It's all red here.

Well? Does it feel better?

It's much better.

You're a grown adult.

Can't you be more careful?

Do you like catching thieves so much?

It's because it's you.

Me? What about me?

I can do it myself, okay?

I'm your boyfriend.

Are you trying to take advantage of me again?

You're too into the act.

My leg suddenly hurts too.

Something stepped on it somehow.

-Which foot is it? I'll massage it. -This one.

-This one? -Massage it for me.

Sure, I'll massage it!

-Massage! -It's all better.

-It's all better. -Is it all better?

It doesn't hurt now.

I nearly forgot.

You must close your doors and windows.

I'll be heading back now.

Okay.

This guy...

Does he like me?

Impossible.

We're only colleagues.

Dear friends, what are you doing?

I miss you all.

Just spit it out.

Spit it out.

Just spit it out.

ANOTHER WIN

Tonight,

I'll have you meet my girlfriend,

Feng Ruru.

Feng Ruru?

Hello, Xinyi.

Jiang Junnan and Feng Ruru...

They got together.

Come, my friends.

Let's drink.

I'm telling you.

-Come on. -This place is hard to book.

It's all thanks to Ruru.

Nice.

-Hi. -Qianling.

-Qianling. -I'm late. Hi, guys.

I'll introduce you.

This is my girlfriend, Feng Ruru.

You've met before.

I remember now.

She was the best female player

-at the CS game last time. -Yes.

Dough Twist.

I didn't know you were this pretty!

I'm Wheat.

Thank you for saving me so many times in the game.

Wheat.

Also,

let me tell you a secret.

You play much better than Jiang Junnan.

-You're right. -Stop whispering.

Hurry and sit.

Okay.

We have a new member.

Let's drink.

Come on.

To our happiness!

-Cheers! -Cheers.

Cheers.

Right, Qianling.

Women know how to judge photos.

Look at this photo.

Jiang Junnan is just despicable.

He acts like he's the only one with a girlfriend.

What about you?

Shall I help you get Dough Twist tonight?

Do I need help with getting a girl?

Move aside.

It's good.

Okay.

Let's select a few songs to sing.

Yes, my princess.

Let's go.

Well, I'm heading to the restroom.

Why are your shoelaces dirty?

Drink some soda.

Have less alcohol.

No, I like beer.

Have some fruit then.

-I'll bring it over. -I don't want any.

I want dried sweet potatoes.

They look delicious.

Let me try.

Not bad. It's quite tasty.

Do you want to sing? I'll select the song for you.

What do you want to sing?

Let's not. They're singing.

SU ZHENG

Qianling,

where are you right now?

I forgot to give you something last time.

Let's play a game then.

Okay. What do you want to play?

Qianling, let's sing together. Come.

-Let's sing. -No, I can't.

-Come on. -Sing with us.

Jiang Junnan.

Okay. I'm coming.

-How do we do this? -We'll share one mic.

You can use that one.

Come over here.

Come on.

I'll drink.

-Who will open first? -15, 20, 10.

-You first. -I'm done.

Qianling.

Su Zheng, why are you here?

When you messaged me, I just happened to be in the area.

Then I searched every room.

Take a seat then.

This is our coworker, Su Zheng.

He's a good worker.

You're all here.

Mr. Gu, you're here too.

-What a coincidence. -It really is.

I bought this for you. It's pepper spray.

-This is better than regular sprays. It... -Let me see.

There's a problem with the nozzle's design.

You can hurt yourself easily.

Did you even see its spray nozzle?

How do you know that it's not good?

It's fine, Su Zheng.

I'll keep it for now.

Thank you.

Su Zheng, since you're here,

why don't we play a game?

-Okay. -Sure.

What game?

Let's play "Never Have I Ever."

"Never Have I Ever."

I think it's a good idea. Yes.

Let's all play together.

Come on.

"Never Have I Ever" is fun.

I want to play too.

Let's forget about the alcohol.

We'll follow this app's prompts. It'll be fair.

The loser

will have to do what the app says.

-Come on, friends. -That sounds good.

We get five lives each.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

I'll go first.

I was once the top boxer in a boxing championship.

Put a finger down if you weren't one.

Mr. Gu is so amazing.

He is quite amazing.

That's nothing.

I can

tolerate eating fish mint.

What is fish mint?

-Have you tried it before? -Not at all.

Let's put down a finger then.

Really?

Really.

I won the top award of the city

at a youth Chinese calligraphy competition.

You were a champion as a youth?

That's quite amazing. It was the top award.

-It's okay. -I'm over 187 cm tall.

My best time in a 100-meter sprint

is 12:01 seconds.

I got full marks for Math in my college entrance exams.

I can cook Szechuan, Cantonese, and Shandong cuisine.

I know how to make my own hotpot soup base.

I can cook Northeastern Chinese food, as well as Thai food.

What can you cook?

Su Zheng, that's really amazing.

Whoever gets to marry you will be a very happy woman.

I have never dated before.

No way.

Mr. Gu has been single since birth?

I couldn't tell.

I can verify that fact.

He's ridiculously pure.

I've never dated anyone before either.

You've never dated, but he has never even held hands with a girl.

Have you?

I did once in kindergarten.

Okay. In that case...

It's fine, Su Zheng. It's just a game.

Let's see what the punishment is.

It is...

to call the one you like

and confess your feelings to her.

I don't think Su Zheng has someone he likes,

so let's change it to another one.

I do have one.

Who is it?

He says he has...

I'll call her right now.

Su Zheng, I never knew you liked someone.

It's my first time hearing this. Let's see.

-My phone is dying. -What model is this?

What are you doing?

-It's the latest model. -You've never seen it, right?

There's no battery!

-It's the latest one. -There's only 1% battery left.

-Look at it. -Let me see.

-No. -Come take a look.

-Let's take a selfie. Come. -Yes.

-It's really going to die. -Strike a pose.

-Three, two, one. -Come on.

It's dead.

I have a power...

No.

-I have one. -You don't.

You don't have one.

I'll rent a power bank. Move.

-I have a power bank. -I'll explain later.

Why don't we end this here?

-Let's split. It's getting late. -It's about time. Let's go.

See you next time.

Jiang Junnan

must be very happy.

She's his first girlfriend.

He'll definitely be happy for a while.

Feng Ruru...

What's she like?

I can't say.

Either way, she's not as great as you.

It doesn't matter.

It's good as long as he's happy.

It'll be fine.

Yes, that's right. Cry it out.

You'll feel better after crying.

Xinyi,

I truly understand how you feel.

After all,

I've been through this once.

Was it

Mr. Gu?

How did you know?

When I was staying with you,

I saw the portrait you drew of him

in your closet.

It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it.

But I think

Mr. Gu likes you.

We are just colleagues now.

He thinks of me as a subordinate,

and I think of him as a boss.

He just hides it well.

Actually, he has done a lot for you.

-The secret figures he got... -Stop it.

Both departments are quite busy now.

I don't have the time to think about this.

I just want to do my job well.

I should learn from you

and stop thinking of these useless things.

Come on.

-Let's toast ourselves. -Cheers.

Give me another glass.

Jiang Junnan!

-I want... -Are you okay?

to call him.

I want to call him.

I want to tell him

that I'm really sad.

No way. You can't go back on your words this soon.

I'm telling you.

I know it's very hard,

but it'll be fine. I'll be with you.

-I want to call him. -Ignore him.

Let's go.

Su Zheng,

when are we eating?

Just wait a moment.

How much longer do we have to wait?

She isn't here yet.

She's coming.

-Qianling is here. -I'm so sorry.

-I'm late. -It's fine.

Happy birthday, Su Zheng.

Thank you.

What a cute cake.

You can have the girl to eat later.

-Okay. -We can start now, right?

-Yes, we can. -We can.

-Come on. -Let's start.

Once more.

Didn't you say you would be coming later today?

Today is Su Zheng's birthday.

No matter how busy I am, I have to be here for the cake.

Thank you.

Judging by the cake's design,

he'll be wishing for a successful love confession.

Have some tea to calm down.

Su Zheng, may you become rich in this new year.

Earn big bucks.

May your dreams come true.

Okay. I'm done.

-Blow the candles. -Blow the candles.

-Cut the cake. -Thank you, everyone.

Qianling, you do it.

Okay, I'll do it.

Qianling is bad at it.

Let me.

You're even worse than me.

Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Thank you, Mr. Gu.

I'm not good at it. You do it.

Okay.

Split the cake.

-I want this piece. -I want this one.

-There's a lot. Here. -I want it.

There's a piece here.

-This one is yours. -Thank you.

-Is there a fork? -One at a time.

There's a plate here.

-You have... -Everyone got one.

This one is mine.

It's all clean.

Thank you.

The cake is delicious. Happy birthday.

Thank you for making it here.

You have no idea

how ecstatic I am to see you here.
