=Episode 19=

Relax!

You're already anesthetized.

Relax.

It won't hurt.

Relax.

Relax.

Calm down.

You only lost half a tooth.

You just need to get a dental implant.

How much does it cost?

That'll cost around 6,000 to 15,000 yuan.

It's that expensive?

It's that expensive?

Different materials

have different prices.

She's asking you if you could

reattach this tooth somehow.

This way, she can save on material costs.

Stop joking around.

Stop joking around.

Since I was the cause,

I'll bear the responsibility.

That's right. He'll pay the bill.

Your dishes are ready.

We're strangers sharing the same table?

I'm the one who lost a tooth here.

Why are you being silent as well?

Talk to me.

How could we have

nothing to talk about when we're facing each other?

I was afraid that you

might not want to open your mouth.

Stop blaming yourself.

I'm not angry at you.

Here.

Have some meat.

I'll make a wrap for you.

I...

This is how

we eat in northeast.

We like to make wraps.

One wrap with one bite.

Here.

I...

You...

Have you washed your hands?

I have.

Besides, a robot like you

who knows nothing about the ways of the world

should be infected by an easygoing human

like me.

It can boost your immunity.

Eat up.

How is it?

Is it nice?

You're pretty good at caring for someone.

How did you get alexithymia, then?

I don't really remember

the details.

I only remember that I was mischievous when I was young.

My mother sent me to art lessons

so that I could learn how to be quiet.

She passed away

not long after that.

Since then, I've become very rebellious.

I skipped school,

handed empty test papers,

and fought with hooligans.

My father was very busy.

He had no time for me.

And, he felt that he couldn't communicate with me.

He sent me to a boarding school.

I scaled the wall and ran away from the school.

He searched for me everywhere.

When he found me,

I was at the cemetery.

I confided in my mother's grave.

I don't really remember

what I said.

I only remember

that it was snowing back then.

It was very cold.

My father came and slapped me,

but I couldn't feel anything.

I don't remember much of what happened before.

Liang Daiwen, it's fine.

If you can't remember the past,

let's just not think about it.

Now,

you're capable of exhibiting simple emotions.

You're recovering gradually.

Everything will get better.

This is for you.

This tooth represents my courage and determination.

It can serve as a reminder

of the physical and mental blow

I had to endure just to fancy you.

You better remember this.

(Gu Yi: Have you reached home?)

(Xu Jie, Deng Xueyan, Business Group 2)

(Qing Mufeng)

(Sorry. The company has decided)

(to cease our cooperation. @Liang Daiwen)

(Gu Yi)

(Gu Yi: Have you reached home? Tell me when you're back. I'll wait for you.)

(Zhang Qingya)

Hello?

I said that it was a draft.

I did it as per your request.

You extended your contract with us.

I'll resolve the issue for you.

Impossible.

I already guessed that this would happen

when you told me to sign the contract.

It doesn't matter.

We're even now.

Liang Daiwen,

are you willing to ruin your reputation

in order to stay away from me?

What's your reason?

Have you already joined another company?

Or are you serious about Gu Yi?

This is none of your business.

This is none of my business indeed.

Great, then.

Roger doesn't like Gu Yi either.

What are you trying to do?

Nothing.

I want to keep you in the company.

(Gu Yi: Liang Daiwen, you blockhead. Don't you intend to say anything?)

This has nothing to do with Gu Yi.

She's unrelated to me.

You don't need to waste your time on her.

Is that so?

I heard that Gu Yi had a rough time in Nextmonday.

She would've been fired long ago had it not been for Jacqueline.

The reputation you're trying to ruin here,

do you think she'll desire it?

(Gu Yi: Fine. I'll say it if you don't want to. Are we in a relationship now?)

I don't care about her.

She's just a bet I made with Shen.

(Gu Yi: Tell me when you reach home. I'll wait for you.)

(Liang Daiwen, you blockhead. Don't you intend to say anything?)

(Fine. I'll say it if you don't want to. Are we in a relationship now?)

(Phone call, Liang Daiwen)

(Calling Liang Daiwen)

Sorry.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

(Fine. I'll say it if you don't want to. Are we in a relationship now?)

Coming.

Buddy,

this is a counseling center, you know?

But I have to open my center earlier than breakfast shops.

Does this even make sense?

You previously suggested that I should go abroad for counseling therapy.

Can you arrange for it?

Arrange it for me

if it's possible.

As soon as possible.

Counseling therapy, huh?

I've tried to persuade you on numerous occasions.

You never agreed to it.

Why do you want to attend it all of a sudden?

In the past, there was no one I cared about.

But now, there's someone I care about.

The branch publication focuses mainly on affordable luxury fashion.

The target audience is working female adults

between the ages of 20 and 40.

Most people just quickly skim through it with a glance.

So you must prioritize the key points with your layout.

Look at what you're doing right now.

You need to redo it.

Understood?

Ms. Zhang.

What are you doing here?

What's going on?

Since when was Gu Yi in charge of the branch publication's layout?

That's not it.

The issue will be published soon.

I'm asking Gu Yi for a favor here.

You can find someone else for now.

HF Design Company has a negotiation with Bvlgari today.

Gu Yi should join me.

Didn't you tell me

to join you before?

The issue for the branch publication will be published soon.

You should finish it.

Gu Yi,

hurry and finish it.

We'll depart in an hour.

Roger that.

Sorry about that.

I can't help you out now.

Send the revised draft to my email.

She deserves it.

Who told her to flaunt her superiority?

Precisely.

Yi,

so,

what company did she mention just now?

HF Design Company.

What's that?

It's a seminar focused on the latest developments in the industry.

You can see it

as an investment conference with a touch of fashion.

Is this fashionable?

I'm just toothless.

What's wrong, Ms. Zhang?

What's your relationship with Zhang Qingya?

She designated you to write the scripts.

She even designated me to take you

for the seminar.

And, our client is also Zhang Qingya?

This seminar is held by HF Design Company.

By the way,

you have to pay more attention later.

Don't commit any blunders.

(HF Design Company)

(Premium custom design services)

Register your name there.

Look for me later.

Okay.

Hello and welcome. Please sign your attendance.

(Zhang Qingya)

Hello and welcome. Please sign your attendance.

Who's that guy?

He's so good-looking.

You're right.

Not only is he good-looking,

but he also has a domineering aura.

Shut up.

Stop fawning over him.

Record the seminar's content.

Organize it into a written draft for me later.

Understood.

Hello, Mr. Liang.

I'm a reporter from Zhiqu Magazine.

We saw that your products were also on display today.

Can you please share

your current aesthetic concept with us?

There's no concept to speak of.

I'm only fulfilling the needs

of our clients.

Someone who can spend millions of dollars on a piece of furniture

must surely live in a huge house.

They must have a courtyard by the sea and live near the riverside landscape.

They have everything in the world.

There's no need for any aesthetic concept.

Are you saying that aesthetic concept doesn't matter?

The smallest unit in high-end apartments is a one-bedroom, one-living room unit

with an area of 180 square meters.

At least two walls are made of glass windows.

The lighting and views are impeccable.

High-end real estate

emphasizes Feng Shui,

orientation,

and layout.

But in reality,

luxury cars occupy the sidewalk for the disabled,

and the accessible elevator is shut down.

The so-called aesthetic concept

is just an uneven allocation of resources.

If so, what is the underlying concept

behind your creation this time?

Functionality.

The majority of the space is occupied by the minority.

The space for people with disabilities is occupied by healthy people.

Sorry, guys.

That's all for the current interview.

If any of you still have any questions,

you guys may contact our crew in private.

Thank you, everyone. Please take a break.

Wait a moment.

What did Mr. Liang mean by that?

Can you give us an answer?

Mr. Liang wishes to take a break.

He'll answer all of your questions after the break.

Did something happen to Mr. Liang?

He's fine. He just needs a break.

Liang Daiwen, you're digging your own grave here,

you know?

Are you disregarding everything else

just so you can terminate your contract with me?

I'll tell you this one last time.

Once people find out that you plagiarized other people's design,

it'll stain your reputation for life.

No one would ever hire

a designer like you again.

Today's your last chance.

If you fall out with me,

I won't bear the responsibility on your behalf again.

I can publish a notice on your behalf.

It can clarify that you requested a contract termination before this.

You didn't plagiarize other people, right?

It doesn't matter if I plagiarize other people or not.

Nobody cares anyway.

I care.

People who care about you will care.

Gu Yi.

I just wish to do the things I desire as soon as possible.

This is the quickest way.

Do not stand up for me.

What kind of stupid logic is that?

Even an idiot knows that they need

to use the law to defend themselves from slander.

She's framing you,

yet you're not resisting at all?

I still have an interview to attend.

Hello, Mr. Liang.

(Youjia Design) I'm a reporter from Youjia Design.

Rumor has it

that you plagiarized the lead designer of Finch.

Can you give us a response to that?

Mr. Liang, is it inconvenient for you to answer the question?

Regarding that matter,

it's because I wasn't capable enough.

Mr. Liang, are you admitting that you did plagiarize him?

May I ask if your previous works

also involve elements of plagiarism?

Mr. Liang, were your previous works

in the competitions actual original works?

- Mr. Liang. - Mr. Liang.

Why did you admit to it?

Zhang Qingya was the one who didn't want to let you go.

She set you up because she wanted you to extend the contract.

You didn't plagiarize anyone.

Why didn't you...

You look so pretty today.

Liang Daiwen,

what's wrong with you today?

I've received the texts you sent me.

I didn't reply to you

because I needed time to consider it.

Now, I've made up my mind.

Gu Yi,

I can't provide you with the relationship you desire.

Let's remain as friends.

Why did you say you fancied me, then?

What did you mean by that?

Did you use me to pass the time?

Am I just an experiment?

Sorry.

I had a rough time every day

ever since I got to know you.

Stomach aches,

sleepwalking,

even anorexia.

There are many emotions that I'm unsure of.

I cannot understand your emotions.

Unlike Yu Dule, I don't have any chemistry with you.

I can't cheer you up like Xu Guanrui can.

I need to learn and imitate

the things that you guys can do since birth

one step at a time.

My logic is telling me

that I shouldn't let you misunderstand me anymore.

Liang Daiwen,

what have I done wrong

for you

to become more of a robot and harder

to communicate?

I never changed.

You were the one who thought I could change.

Liang Daiwen,

is alexithymia your shield?

You wag your tail and act pitiful when you require attention.

You say that you can't feel anything when you don't need any.

You say that everything is just a misunderstanding.

What am I supposed to do

for you to give me a definite answer?

I don't care whether the ending is good or not!

I just want to ask you this.

Do you truly fancy me?

Plenty of people fancy you.

Even if I leave now,

someone new will replace me soon.

That's right.

Love is a balancing act indeed.

- Hi, Ms. Zhang. - Goodbye.

Do it.

Gu Yi, put your work aside for now.

Follow me to the meeting room.

Boya Investment is here.

Huh?

Boya Investment.

Follow me to the meeting room.

Only the two of us? Isn't Jacqueline joining us?

You finally got a dental implant, huh?

Stop grinning. Hurry up.

Ms. Zhang just left the office for business purposes.

It's an exclusive interview for HF Design Company.

The personnel from Boya

designated you for the interview.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

(Meeting Room)

I understand.

You need an exclusive interview for HF Design Company.

It's about Liang Daiwen being kicked out of the industry due to plagiarism.

Ms. Zhang, don't worry.

We'll definitely point out his flaws.

Why must you say that he committed plagiarism?

What has this got to do with HF Design Company's interview?

I'm paying you guys for the ads.

I'm not here to discuss our content with you.

That's right.

Ms. Zhang,

Nextmonday has our own content attributes.

Such exaggerated criticisms

do not align with the theme of interview.

Denouncing plagiarism

is a protection of intellectual property and a counterattack

against poor creative practices in the industry.

Is there an issue with that?

No.

I have no issue with that. But I can't write it for you.

It's because Liang Daiwen didn't commit plagiarism.

May I speak with Gu Yi in private?

Of course. Go ahead.

Writing sarcastic content

should be your expertise.

What's wrong?

You can't do it when it's Liang Daiwen, huh?

Ms. Zhang,

you shouldn't do this to him.

Gu Yi,

do you think you're standing up for him?

Do you think Liang Daiwen will appreciate your effort?

Have you ever considered why he wanted to terminate

the contract with me urgently?

He's not just dumping me. He's dumping you too.

Do you know that he'll be going overseas soon?

Seems like you have no idea.

According to what I know,

Liang Daiwen has

received Souxun's offer letter.

I only know that he didn't commit plagiarism.

That's the only thing you're saying, huh?

You're just a bet

made by him

and his psychiatrist.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

But I think he should be

on his way to the airport.

You'll miss out on him if you're one step late.

Where are you?

I'm at the airport.

Don't move. I'll go and find you.

Gu Yi, what's wrong?

Why are you leaving?

I have something urgent to handle.

Something very urgent.

You're going overseas, right?

How long will you be away? Will you come back?

Fine. I'll stop asking you.

It's fine that you don't want to tell me about it.

Can you take me with you, then?

Gu Yi.

Don't do this.

Liang Daiwen,

don't leave me just like that.

Even if...

I won't write that you committed plagiarism.

It's fine even if I'm just a bet

made by you and your psychiatrist.

It's fine if you fancy me

by accident.

You just need to give me an answer.

(Domestic Safety Check)

(Destination, Dalian)

You're not going overseas?

You're heading to Dalian instead?

I thought you accepted the offer letter.

Just remain in Donghai.

The current me isn't good enough for you.

If, one day, I do become good enough for you,

I'll come back to find you.

Forget it.

(Smiling Gu Yi)

(Headhunter Eddy)

There's an issue with the contract termination.

I need your help.

Sure.

What do you need?

I need Zhang Qingya to know about my interview.

And,

I need the media

to expose me for committing plagiarism.

Hello, Mr. Liang.

I'm a reporter from Youjia Design.

Rumor has it

that you plagiarized the lead designer of Finch.

Regarding that matter,

it's because I wasn't capable enough.

I need a scene

that even Zhang Qingya cannot handle.

For tomorrow's exchange,

I will admit silently that I committed plagiarism.

Prepare the article in advance.

Post it right after the exchange.

Do it.

It's best if influencers post the article.

Nextmonday's posting speed

is inferior to the netizens'.

They have to post it before Nextmonday.

Gu Yi can stay safe as long as

she doesn't take up the task.

According to my understanding of Ms. Zhang,

HF Design Company will terminate my contract

after Gu Yi's article is posted.

They'll wait until the situation is exaggerated

before coming out to clarify that I didn't plagiarize.

Nextmonday will be implicated for no apparent reason.

After that, Boya can withdraw

their investment officially.

Using the editor as a scapegoat is common if one offends their client.

But Boya is our client.

I have no reason to refuse their deal.

You don't need to.

Just drag it out until HF Design Company terminates my contract.

Once articles of my plagiarism are out,

the heated responses will force them to express their stand.

You hired someone to post the article yourself.

If your contract gets terminated, it'll confirm the rumors, you know?

Don't you care about your reputation at all?

I just want Gu Yi to stay out of it.

Because of you,

I started to develop an interest in my surroundings.

I started to dream.

I could also see the colors of the world.

You'll break someone's heart

when you reject their love.

You won't be able to hear the voices of all those who love you.

I know that alexithymia is unavoidable.

But even if I'm a robot,

I still wish to remain by your side a little longer.
