(So That's Your Secret)

(Tyrant's Diary)

(Tang Yu.)

(I want to date you and never break up.)

(But love, promises, and principles)

(are the most ethereal things in the world.)

(So, this is my closest secret.)

Okay.

That's it for now.

Hear me out.

You have to understand

why you speak the lines out.

Some you speak for yourself.

Some you speak to the people in front of you.

Some you speak to the audience.

Have you ever been in a relationship before?

It doesn't matter.

Let's practice.

You try to express

the love you understand.

Sure.

It's a simple practice.

We just look at each other

and say "I love you".

"I love you"?

That's the way.

I'll go first.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I can't say it.

It's okay.

Maybe

it's rare for you to say "love" daily.

Let's change the word.

Like. I like you.

Is that alright?

Come.

Begin.

I like you.

I think

I like you too.

I've liked you for a long while.

I thought

I'd lost you.

I thought

for my whole life,

I'd live alone.

I thought

you had forgotten about me.

Good.

That's a great performance.

The emotions are spot on.

Really?

For just this line,

your performance

is passable.

That's why

you're now the actress Tang Dingding.

Mr. Lu.

I won't lose my job now, right?

Right?

You won't.

Mr. Lu, you're hungry.

Lunch is on me.

To celebrate me not losing my job.

Sure thing.

Is this for me?

Actresses have to slim down.

I can understand that.

But directors don't have to.

I know.

But if I have to watch you eat nice food,

I'd drool.

Fine.

I have deliveries all the time.

Healthy meals are rare for me.

Mr. Lu.

You're still single?

Yep.

Been that way for years.

What's wrong?

I mean,

back at the rehearsal,

that line of yours...

"I thought

for my whole life, I'd live alone."

It's your real life, right?

No wonder

it was so sad and moving.

Sad?

How is single life sad?

I'm telling you,

if any friend of mine breaks up,

the first thing I'll do is to celebrate.

Modern guys

don't have time for themselves.

For example, there's something

for you ladies to slim down

called fasting, right?

It should be done not just physically,

but spiritually as well.

Single life is the best fasting for your spirit.

Very healthy.

So Mr. Lu,

you're celibate?

Not strictly, no.

But I enjoy the single life.

That much is true.

Can you make good romantic movies, then?

Come closer.

You little...

naughty girl.

You're questioning my professionalism?

What?

Got a big head

because I praised your acting?

No. I was just acting.

So, what do you think? Good?

Great.

I almost want to switch actress.

No.

Mr. Lu, you can't abuse your power.

Let's talk about you.

Tell me about your relationships

from elementary to junior high

to high school. All of them.

So I can understand you better.

Me?

After elementary,

I got into junior high.

Then high school...

I had a lot of suitors.

But Yu didn't allow me to date.

I thought you were slimming down.

Why did you order this?

You have it, then.

Look out next time.

This is quite nice.

Why did you want me to pick you up?

Mr. Gao's gone to the airport.

This is redundant.

Mr. Gao is there to pick Mr. Huo up.

So what if you're the investor?

Can't even share a car with him.

Hey, you rubbed off on me.

Now I like carpooling too.

In a bad mood?

Because of me?

Mr. Tang.

When I'm driving,

please don't talk to me.

It'll severely affect my driving.

I think it's bad mood

that affects driving severely.

Why don't I take the wheel?

No.

I'll take you home safely, Mr. Tang.

Open up.

Hua Juan.

- Hua Juan. - Good boy.

Let Daddy hug you.

Hey, Daddy.

Go back to your own home.

Hua Juan misses me.

Let me hug him for a bit.

Sure.

He's your cat.

You take him home, then.

You two can play all you want back at your place.

Just remember.

Don't let his stepmom bully him.

Heard that?

Your mother's upset.

But it's alright.

Your mother

isn't abandoning you.

She's just upset.

Don't stay upset, alright?

You're still here playing with your son?

A harmonious family

is important to the little one's growth.

Are you going to leave?

I can leave.

But I have to know

why you're so unhappy.

I don't want to talk to you.

Is it because of work?

Mr. Tang.

When you're at my home,

can you stay silent

and make no noise, please?

Hello? What is it?

How did it go?

That move came in handy, didn't it?

What move?

(Sugar Heart must be jealous.)

(Must feel the threat.)

(She wouldn't have)

(picked you up at the airport otherwise.)

What did you do this time?

Back when you

and Ms. Lin talked about the contract,

I took a pic and sent it to her.

(All in a day's work.)

(You're welcome.)

He hung up on me?

So this is what happened yesterday.

Ms. Lin...

I know.

She's a business partner.

You guys were negotiating.

Since you know,

then why are you upset?

Am I?

I am not.

I'm sleepy.

I should get some sleep.

Hey.

Can you give me one minute?

I can explain this.

Sure, explain it.

One minute's up.

Hua Juan.

Let's get some sleep.

You're leaving your phone?

(MyriadFlyerTXX)

(The Most Hurtful Thing My Crush Did)

(Today)

(is my first day at work.)

(He didn't join the new employee training meeting.)

(He didn't come to the cafeteria either.)

(His office is on another floor.)

(Fortunately,)

(I saw him after work.)

(I thought I was prepared.)

(But I was still excited.)

(So excited)

(that I almost cried.)

(We're having dinner together the first time today.)

Hey, the girl with the bun?

It's late. Stop working.

Sit down and have dinner.

- Sure. - Get another chair.

Thank you, Mr. Tang. Thank you, Mr. Huo.

Since everyone's here,

here.

(During the first meeting,)

(I think he noticed me.)

I think everyone has seen the video.

In the last quarter,

our company has built

a platform called curated content creation.

In the last quarter,

it has brought success.

(Fifty check-in photos completed.)

(Today,)

(for the first time,)

(he summoned me to his office.)

(On the way there, I kept wondering)

(what he wanted to say to me.)

(I was looking forward to it.)

So you think

I make a good couple with Ming Zhu?

I...

(In the end,)

(he wanted my help to court my best friend.)

(He's not enthusiastic about courtship.)

(But he's nice to her. Cares for her.)

(For example, when he finds out she's hurt,)

(he sets his work aside and flies over just to check on her.)

(I'm envious. Sad too.)

(I confessed to him.)

(I thought I might stand a chance when I did that.)

Tang Yu.

(I thought, what if he likes me too?)

Do you think I am pretty?

Can I be your girlfriend then,

since you think I'm pretty,

and I think you're handsome?

We

aren't a good match.

(But he told me)

(we're not a good match.)

(No matter what I do, I'm wrong.)

(I can never truly be someone he cares about.)

♪I want your love, wait you♪

♪I want to land by your side♪

♪Cause I miss you, miss you♪

(Today's my first time seeing him.)

(Love at first sight is like a child's tale.)

(Most people won't believe it.)

(Before I met him,)

(I didn't believe it either.)

(But it happened in real life.)

♪Wait you♪

Sorry.

Make way, please.

Sorry.

♪With plots that involve you♪

♪How should I write that page♪

♪Oh, how I wish to traverse it♪

♪Flying within the realm of dreams♪

♪Even if the distance is vast♪

♪I'll fly to be by your side♪

Four years.

And she said falling in love only takes days

and same goes for falling out of love.

♪Wait you♪

It's two in the morning.

Why are you still in my home?

Are you some sort of feature here?

Go home.

I've been thinking

about the first time we met.

The first time we met?

That was when you wanted my help to court Ming Zhu.

You're forgetful, Mr. Tang.

Four years ago,

in the lobby of Time Pictures.

You

were at the entrance.

You were in my way.

Your eyes shone brightly.

If I'm right,

when you saw me that day,

you smiled at me.

You

remember?

Of course, I do.

But I have something to confess.

Just now,

I checked your Weibo alt account.

This is probably the secret you wanted to tell me.

Sorry, Tang Xin.

I shouldn't have questioned your love for me.

I shouldn't have refused you right away.

Nor should I have waited so long

before I found out everything.

When I flew to Ming Zhu's set to see her,

were you really sad?

Even if it wasn't Ming Zhu,

but someone else was hurt,

I'd have to check it out anyway.

That's my duty.

About the picture Huo Chendong sent you.

You should know

the kind of relationship between us.

So you're still upset?

Don't worry.

After this...

No.

Don't let me get in the way of your work.

I...

I...

I just like you too much.

I've loved you for years.

I don't know if your love for me is real.

That's why I get unreasonable.

Sorry.

I won't do this again.

Tang Xin, I like you a lot.

All the sadness and sorrow

you suffered because of me,

I will make it up to you.

I won't let you

get hurt again.

I'm sorry.

Can I come in?

Come in.

So, why the sudden mini golf?

My mom doesn't want me

to still be weak after I turn thirty.

So she wanted me

to move around in the office.

Okay, I'll tell you everything.

That move

didn't exactly

backfire, did it?

I was really confident back then.

And then you hung up on me.

I was uneasy.

That move

could work on regular girls.

But Tang Xin

isn't a regular girl.

So, how did last night go?

It was fine.

Oh, progress.

Told you that move...

It has nothing to do with your stupid move.

You're lucky I'm in a good mood.

If it were any other time, after that stunt you did,

you can say goodbye to being VP.

Alright, just set the move talk aside.

Tell me. What base are you guys at now?

Tell me everything.

Why should I?

You sound smug.

Tell me

and I can help you parse it down.

We're going to the film festival tomorrow.

When are you free to leave?

I'll get Gao Heng to book the tickets.

Anytime's fine.

You do your job.

I'll be going.

Honey.

(It's your birthday in two days.)

(How will you celebrate it?)

(Want me to come over?)

No, thanks.

It's just a birthday.

Nothing special.

(I always go shopping)

(with You Huan and Ming Zhu.)

Then we'd have a meal,

go for karaoke, and have a cake.

That's all.

(That was in the past.)

(You have to make it celebratory now.)

Don't treat it like it's another day.

Why don't we go on a family trip?

And relax for a bit.

I can't, Mom.

My project's starting soon.

I can't leave.

Why don't I do this?

I'll get my friends

to come over for a birthday party.

(That'll be celebratory, right?)

That's better.

(You have to be happy anyway.)

(I'm telling you,)

if your mood be ruined

during your birthday,

your whole year will be affected.

Got it, Mom.

Just don't worry about me.

If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.

Sure.

See you.

Bye.

(He should remember)

(my birthday, right?)

(Can't be too sure.)

(He's so busy. He might forget about it.)

(So what kind of relationship are we in now?)

(What else?)

(He didn't ask me to be his girlfriend.)

(Why am I in a hurry to give myself to him?)

(Maybe he'll bring it up during the birthday?)

(It's a big day.)

(Miss it, and it's another year of waiting.)

I made you the cake myself.

It has all my love for you.

To me, you're like an angel who fell down to earth.

No.

You're prettier than any angel.

Gentler.

More confident.

And wiser, too.

Will you be my girlfriend?

If you do,

I will stay with you without regrets.

If you

don't want to...

I do.

I do.

I do.

(Mr. Tang Yu.)

(You are cordially invited...)

It's from Ming Zhu.

She and Captain Lu are training in the desert.

She can't make it.

What about you?

What did you get me?

Take a guess.

No.

Just give me.

The party's at night, right?

Get changed before you leave.

You know me best.

I love this.

You said that before take a look?

Given our longtime friendship,

I know I'll love it.

Right.

Who'd you invite to the party?

I sent about eight invites.

Mr. Lu's one of them.

Dingding too.

Shen Fei.

Xiaoxiao.

That's not what I meant.

Did you ask Mr. Tang to come over?

Two days ago, I slid the invitation

through the crack under his door.

And?

Is he coming tonight?

After that night,

I haven't seen him.

He'll go to the film festival with Huo Chendong.

Maybe he has no idea it's my birthday.

It's alright.

Don't worry. He'll come.

Your birthday

is an important matter.

Maybe Mr. Tang

is setting up some surprise for you.

- Really? - I'm here.

Happy birthday.

Here's the present.

Thanks.

You came early. Why?

Well, it's your birthday.

My brother's busy,

so I came for some early celebration.

So,

will your brother come tonight?

Ask him.

Forget it.

I don't want to look desperate for his attendance.

Happy birthday to Xin.

Happy birthday.

Get this party started!

We're gathered together!

I am so happy.

Here.

Here, drink.

Are you stupid?

Give me that.

Alright, let's get some pizza.

Thanks.

Drink.

Come, it's my birthday today.

- Bottoms up. - Happy birthday.

Bottoms up.

I'll do it.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up for me.

Then I'll drink.

What?

What the heck?

Hey.

(Tang Yu sent you red packets.) (Happy birthday, Rich Lady.)

(Happy birthday, Tyrant.) (Happy birthday, Sugar Heart.)

(It doesn't matter.)

(Nothing to be disappointed about.)

(It's my birthday.)

(I have to be happy.)

(Tang Yu: Tyrant.)

(Happy birthday.)

(Do you miss me?)

You won't even show up. These red packets mean nothing.

Tang Xin.

Happy birthday.

Thank you, Mr. Huo.

Happy birthday.

I thought you wouldn't come.

I wouldn't miss your birthday.

I thought you had an award ceremony to attend.

So...

The ceremony is at night.

We can only stay for an hour.

We'll be going back soon.

So, are you moved?

Only an hour?

Only an hour.

Without me around,

your party must be boring.

I'll be going. You guys chat.

Give me the trash.

Give me. Don't hold the trash bag, birthday girl.

See you.

I want to stay with you alone.

May I?

Let's go.

Tang Xin.

Happy birthday.

You didn't have to come back on purpose.

It's just a birthday.

No can do.

Everything about you

is top priority for me.

Come.

Make a wish.

First wish.

I hope everyone I love stays healthy.

Second wish.

I hope A Dream for You is a box-office hit.

Then I can be a real rich lady soon.

Third wish.

Done?

Alright.

Blow the candles.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

So what was the third wish

you made?

If I say the third wish out loud,

it won't come true.

But I want to be there for all your wishes.

I want to fulfill them for you.

Tell me.

I see it's about me.

Tell me.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Do you have something to ask me about?

Time to go.

Or we'll miss the flight.

I'll be out for a few days.

Take care of yourself.

I'll try to get back ASAP.

I know.

Wait for me.

Happy birthday.

See you.

Safe trip.

See you.

Hey, Dingding.

(Yu.)

(You're a failure.)

Hey, I'm at work here.

We'll talk when I get back.

(Yu.)

(Don't hang up.)

(I have something serious to ask.)

(Did you give Tang Xin any birthday presents?)

I did.

(What did you give?)

Red packets.

(Red packets?)

(Yu, how dense can you be?)

What's wrong?

She's always happy when someone gives her red packet.

Even posts them on her Moments to celebrate.

(But you're not someone else.)

(Forget it.)

(Another question.)

You two were downstairs for ages.

Why didn't you confess to her?

Why didn't you

hold her hands

and pat her head?

(And then kabedon her and kiss her.)

(She was waiting for you, you know?)

Waiting for me?

You're saying

she was waiting for me?

It's so obvious what she's waiting for.

Your confession.

You make me so mad.

If a girl

can't even get

a proper confession,

why would she be with you?

Why did you

chicken out when you were that close to winning the game?

Watch it, Tang Dingding.

Talk later.

Waiting for me?

Get Mr. Huo here.

Yes, sir.

Alright.

I get the situation.

But one thing surprises me.

Why do you trust me so much?

You keep coming to me

for relationship advice.

You might be taking this the wrong way.

I don't trust you.

I just want someone to talk to.

And also to figure out

the kinks of my new ideas.

Of course,

if you don't want to talk about it,

go back to your office.

No.

I haven't even started.

You see,

you were wrong here.

You claim to like Sugar Heart.

But it's been so long,

and you haven't confessed to her,

have you?

If I were Sugar Heart,

I'd be dating someone else right away.

Just to spite you.

Don't worry about that.

I'd never fall for you if you were her.

Is that so? I'm leaving, then.

Let me finish.

It's not like I don't want to confess.

I just thought she wasn't ready.

I'm sure I like her.

I just don't want her

to give me an answer in a hurry.

Get it?

All are your assumptions.

At this point,

you should ditch

that gentleman attitude of yours.

Romance...

Romance is a selfish affair.

Romance requires you to pilfer.

Romance means you attack when it's time.

That's how you gain success before anyone else.

You keep hesitating,

it would make

Sugar Heart think you don't want to date her.

That's not it.

So what now?

Fortunately,

it's not too late to patch things up.

Good thing you have me.

Honestly,

confession is a simple affair.

Even if you missed her birthday,

it doesn't mean you can't do anything about it, right?

Do you two have any

special anniversaries?

Think long and hard.
