00:00At the beginning, we see Yen talking to her friend Lu,
00:03telling her that she finally wants to propose to her boyfriend, Jiang,
00:06because she's tired of their relationship leading nowhere.
00:09However, Lu scolds her for never mentioning Jiang before and advises her to wait,
00:13insisting that a woman shouldn't be the one to propose.
00:16In the next scene, Jiang is on a phone call with his friend Lin,
00:20who is on a blind date arranged by his mother despite his objections.
00:23Jiang tells Lin that he's fed up with his girlfriend and plans to break up with her today
00:27because she takes their relationship too seriously, whereas he does not.
00:31After ending the call, Jiang heads home,
00:33only to find Yen there, having decorated the place for him.
00:36Both are shocked to see each other.
00:38When Yen steps into the bathroom,
00:40Jiang quickly texts Lin, explaining the situation and asking him to come and save him.
00:45Lin, in turn, apologizes to his blind date,
00:48telling her that he already has a girlfriend.
00:50Outraged, she throws water in his face and storms off.
00:54Back in the bathroom,
00:55Yen calls Lu and confesses that Jiang didn't seem happy to see her,
00:58making her think she acted too hastily.
01:00Lu encourages her to stay confident and reassures her that she's near Jiang's house,
01:05ready to wait for her if she wants to leave.
01:07A little later, Lin arrives, much to Yen's surprise.
01:10He pretends to be drunk and completely ruins the romantic setup.
01:14Furious, Yen yells at him, demanding to know what he's doing.
01:18Lin jokingly claims he's a dentist and offers her a discount if she visits his clinic.
01:23At that moment, Jiang tells Yen that Lin seems too drunk, so he needs to take him home.
01:27When Yen protests, Lin suddenly shouts at her and storms out.
01:31At that moment, Yen feels utterly heartbroken and regrets what she has done.
01:36She finally realizes that Jiang is nothing more than a scoundrel.
01:39The next day, Yen tries every possible way to contact Jiang but fails.
01:44She decides to go to the restaurant where he works,
01:46but as soon as he spots her, he quickly hides.
01:49His colleague, Qi, tells her that Jiang isn't there.
01:52However, Yen doesn't give up and eventually finds him hiding.
01:55She scolds him for what he did, leaving her without even officially breaking up.
02:00Finally, they end things for good.
02:02Yen steps outside and sits alone, overwhelmed with sadness.
02:06Qi approaches her with some sweets to comfort her, and they had become friends ever since.
02:11Later, Yen drowns her sorrow in drinks while Lin is consumed by guilt over what he did to her.
02:16The next morning, Yen wakes up to find that her landlord has evicted her before her lease was even up.
02:21She calls Lu for help, but Lu tells her that her parents have just returned from their trip and are staying at her place.
02:27While searching for a place to stay, Yen comes across an ad from someone looking for a roommate.
02:32However, when she arrives at the address, she is shocked to find that the person renting out the room is Lin.
02:37Both of them are equally surprised.
02:39Yen immediately decides not to stay and leaves for a cheap motel instead.
02:43However, once she gets there, she realizes that the place feels completely unsafe.
02:48Fearing for her safety, she rushes out.
02:51Meanwhile, Lin starts to worry about her, knowing that she mentions staying at a cheap motel, which he suspects is in a dangerous area.
02:58Concerned, he heads there right away and finds that she has already fled.
03:02Lin takes Yen to his house and tells her that he's actually the owner, not a tenant, and that he's willing to rent it to her on her terms.
03:09However, Yen hesitates, saying that the house looks too luxurious and that she doesn't have much money since she hasn't received her salary yet.
03:16Lin reassures her that she can pay the rent once she finds a stable job.
03:20He then explains that his mother was the one who put the house up for rent because she wants him to find a girlfriend.
03:25She hopes that among the women who come to rent the place, he'll eventually meet someone.
03:29By staying there, Yen would be doing him a favor, protecting him from his mother's matchmaking attempts.
03:35He tells her to consider this arrangement as his way of apologizing for what he did to her.
03:39After some thought, Yen agrees to stay.
03:42The next day, Yen is caught off guard when Lin's mother suddenly shows up at the house.
03:46Panicking, Lin quickly hides Yen before greeting his mother.
03:50After chatting with her for a bit, she prepares to leave.
03:53Lin then goes to retrieve Yen from the closet where she was hiding.
03:56However, just as she's about to step out, she stumbles and Lin catches her, right at the moment his mother re-enters the room and sees them in that position.
04:04Thinking quickly, Lin lies to his mother, saying that Yen is his girlfriend and has recently moved in with him.
04:10He claims he didn't tell her earlier because he didn't want her to pressure them into marriage.
04:15His mother then turns to Yen, asking a few questions about her family before finally leaving.
04:20Afterward, Lin asks Yen to keep up the act and pretend to be his girlfriend for a while, just to get his mother off his back.
04:26He warns her that if his mother finds out the truth, she'll kick Yen out of the house.
04:30Left with no other choice, Yen reluctantly agrees.
04:34The next day, Lin receives an invitation from his aunt to a charity event, and she asks him to bring his girlfriend.
04:40Lin tells Yen that he knows she has a writing project at work about a European chef, and that a well-known European chef will be at the event,
04:47giving her the perfect opportunity to gather information for her project.
04:50Excited by the chance, Yen agrees to go.
04:53Lin then takes her to his aunt's boutique to pick out a dress for the event.
04:57After a long search, he finally chooses a beautiful dress for her, but when Yen sees the price, she refuses to take it.
05:04However, his aunt insists that it's a gift from the boutique, just for her.
05:08At the event, Lin leaves Yen on her own while she searches for the chef.
05:12Instead, she unexpectedly runs into Qi, and they chat for a while.
05:16When they spot Jiang arriving at the event, Qi quickly helps Yen hide.
05:20A little later, Lin returns and takes Yen away from Qi so she can sit next to him during the charity auction.
05:26Coincidentally, Jiang is seated nearby, accompanied by a woman named Tan, who ends up purchasing a bao that was up for auction.
05:33After the auction, Tan approaches Lin, and we learn that she is his ex-girlfriend.
05:38She gives him the bao as a gift, telling him that she knows he has wanted it for a long time.
05:42Lin accepts it and thanks her before introducing her to his… girlfriend, Yen.
05:47He then tells Tan that he'll be teaching Yen archery, just as she had always wanted.
05:51Yen extends her hand to shake Tan's, but Lin suddenly pulls her away and tells Tan that they will be inviting her to their wedding.
05:58Without giving her a chance to respond, he quickly leaves with Yen.
06:01As they walk away, they run into Jiang.
06:04Seizing the opportunity to give Yen some closure, Lin tells Jiang that he is now dating her, making it clear that she has moved on.
06:11Shortly after, Yen receives a call from her family, informing her that Lin's mother is currently at their restaurant.
06:17Panicked, she rushes there with Lin.
06:19Upon arriving, Yen is met with a scolding from her father, who reprimands her for lying about her boyfriend being a chef.
06:26However, Lin quickly steps in to save the situation, claiming that he had actually hidden the fact that he's a dentist.
06:32He says he told Yen he was a chef because he didn't want her to be intimidated by his real profession.
06:37Though this explanation smooths things over, Yen's father remains upset, as he has just learned that she moved in with Lin.
06:43He tells her that he would have preferred to hear such news directly from her.
06:47The next day, Yen receives a call from a client requesting to meet her at a restaurant, which turns out to be the same one where Jiang works.
06:54Worried about running into him, she calls Qi to ask if Jiang is there, and Qi assures her that he isn't.
06:59Feeling relieved, Yen goes to meet the client, and once their meeting is over, Qi asks her to stay a little longer.
07:05He offers her a taste of his latest dish, but Yen, feeling pressed for time, apologizes and quickly leaves.
07:12When she returns to Lin's house, she is surprised to find his grandmother there.
07:16She invites the elderly woman inside and keeps her company while waiting for Lin to arrive.
07:21As they talk, Lin's grandmother asks Yen about her relationship with him.
07:25At some point, she takes a drink from a bottle she has with her. Moments later, she loses consciousness.
07:31Just then, Lin arrives with Tan, who had been working with him.
07:34He quickly realizes that his grandmother has consumed alcohol and immediately rushes her to the hospital.
07:40After ensuring his grandmother is safe, Lin furiously scolds Yen, accusing her of giving his grandmother alcohol.
07:47Yen swears that the bottle was with his grandmother from the beginning, but Lin refuses to listen.
07:52He coldly tells her to leave, saying he doesn't want to see her right now.
07:55As Yen walks away, Lin's mother tells him that she doesn't think Yen is the right woman for him.
08:00However, Lin defends Yen before leaving without another word.
08:04At this moment, Yen is deeply hurt and refuses to return to Lin's house.
08:08Instead, she goes back to her family's home.
08:11Her mother, noticing her sudden return, tries to find out what happened, but Yen refuses to talk about it.
08:17However, her mother quickly realizes that it must be because of Lin.
08:21Unlike Yen's father, she does not oppose their relationship and encourages her to make up with her boyfriend and return to his house, as it is closer to her workplace.
08:29The next day, Lin's grandmother wakes up to find Lin and Tan by her side.
08:34She explains that the bottle was hers and that she had mistakenly thought it was water, not alcohol.
08:39Realizing that Yen was innocent all along, Lin immediately regrets his actions.
08:44Soon after, the doctor arrives to inform them that the grandmother is fine.
08:48However, before leaving he asks to speak with Lin privately.
08:51The doctor, who happens to be Tan's father, questions Lin about his relationship with his daughter, wondering if they plan to get back together.
08:59But Lin firmly tells him that he and Tan are just friends and that he is now with someone else.
09:03Later, Lin returns home exhausted from staying up all night, wanting to relax.
09:08He heads straight for a hot shower.
09:10However, once inside, he discovers that the bathroom door is broken from the inside, trapping him.
09:15As the steam fills the room and exhaustion takes its toll, he begins to feel dizzy.
09:20At that moment, Yen talks to her father and apologizes for what she did.
09:24Her father tells her that he doesn't oppose her relationship with Lin, but he is concerned that she never told him anything about living with him.
09:31He asks her to take care of herself.
09:33Afterward, Yen goes to Lin's workplace, but he isn't there.
09:37She then heads to Jiang and Qi's restaurant, but neither of them is there either.
09:41Instead, she finds Tan and asks her about Lin, but Tan says she doesn't know where he is.
09:46Worried, Yen returns to Lin's house and starts searching for him.
09:50She even asks the house's AI assistant for his location, but it has no information.
09:55Just then she hears a noise coming from the bathroom.
09:58Rushing to the door, she finds it jammed.
10:00Without hesitation, she breaks the handle and manages to get inside, where she sees Lin struggling.
10:06She helps him to his bed, but before she can leave, he grabs her hand and asks her to stay beside him.
10:11At that moment, Tan enters the house, revealing that she knows the passcode.
10:15Yen feels a surge of anger.
10:17She had previously asked Lin for the password, but he had refused to give it to her.
10:21Tan interrupts her thoughts, insisting that they need to take Lin to the hospital immediately.
10:26Lin stays at the hospital alongside his grandmother, who laughs at him but then curiously asks how he ended up locked in the bathroom despite living with Yen.
10:34Lin explains that he had been busy recently, so Yen had been staying at her parents' house.
10:39A short while later, Lin's mother arrives to check on him.
10:42Relieved that he is fine, she sincerely thanks Yen for saving him.
10:46Meanwhile, Tan's father takes her outside and advises her to move on, telling her that Lin no longer loves her.
10:52However, Tan reassures him not to worry about her.
10:55Feeling down, Tan leaves and heads to Zhang's restaurant, where she runs into Qi.
11:00It's then revealed that Qi is her childhood friend.
11:03Sensing her sadness, he brings her some sweets to cheer her up.
11:06Teasing her, he jokes that he's now taller than her.
11:09Laughing, Tan replies that she's still a few years older than him.
11:13Back at the hospital, Lin's grandmother is discharged, but Lin needs to stay a little longer.
11:18His mother then invites Lin and Yen to dinner at their home once he recovers, showing that she has started to accept Yen.
11:24However, this makes Yen uneasy.
11:26She asks Lin to set a time for when they will officially break up before things get even more complicated between their families.
11:32The next day, Yen is at the mall with Lu when she spots Lin's father with a younger woman.
11:37Shocked, she freezes in place, especially when she notices Lin's mother exiting another store with her friend, seemingly unaware of her husband's presence.
11:46Hoping that Lin's mother doesn't see him, Yen watches anxiously.
11:50Lu, noticing Yen's sudden pause, asks her why she stopped, but Yen remains silent, unwilling to reveal anything about Lin.
11:57Meanwhile, Lin is with Jiang, asking him to tell him more about Yen and how they met.
12:02However, their conversation is cut short when Lin receives a call from his mother.
12:06She informs him that their relatives have come over and are asking to meet Yen, who has already arrived at their house.
12:12Alarmed, Lin quickly leaves Jiang and rushes home.
12:15At Lin's house, the relatives speak to Yen in an arrogant manner.
12:18When they learn that she works as an illustrator for a publishing house, they mock her job.
12:23Their condescension worsens when they find out that her parents run a small restaurant specializing in traditional cuisine, ridiculing her once again.
12:31Finally, Lin arrives and immediately defends Yen, sarcastically pointing out how strange it is that their relatives came to visit her yet didn't bring any gifts, despite not visiting their home in a long time.
12:42A few moments later, Lin's mother enters, carrying a basket of fruit.
12:46One of the relatives complains that she made them wait so long, only to return with just fruit.
12:51Yen, unable to hold back any longer, finally speaks up.
12:55If you don't like it, maybe you should get up and cook something yourself since you can't even thank her for her effort.
13:00Her words anger the relatives, and Lin, sensing that the situation is escalating, takes Yen by the hand and leads her out of the house.
13:08The next day, Lin's mother talks to her friend about Yen, saying that she is bold to the point of being rude.
13:13She admits that Yen embarrassed their guests and worries that she doesn't fit in with their family at all.
13:18Her friend advises her to try bringing Lin and Tan back together.
13:22Convinced by the idea, Lin's mother decides to invite Tan and her father over for dinner.
13:27However, when Lin's aunt hears about this, she immediately goes to him and warns him about his mother's plan.
13:33She tells him that his mother intends to bring Tan and her father over for dinner in an attempt to rekindle their relationship.
13:39Lin, unfazed, reassures his aunt not to worry.
13:42In the next scene, we see Liu sitting in Zhang's restaurant, completely unaware that he is the same scoundrel who once dated Yen.
13:49A flashback reveals that Zhang met Liu at a bar on the same night he left Yen.
13:53He approached her, struck up a conversation, and they began to get to know each other.
13:58The next day, Yen goes to meet Qi after he asks her to taste the latest dishes he has prepared.
14:03While there, Qi accidentally misspeaks and tells him that she is single.
14:07When she tries to correct herself, Qi doesn't believe her, forcing her to reveal the whole truth about her relationship with Lin.
14:13When Yen returns home, she finds Lin telling her that his mother is trying to rekindle his relationship with Tan.
14:19She tells him that this is a good thing since it means they can separate without any issues.
14:24However, Lin informs her that if that happens, she will have to leave the house.
14:28At that moment, Yen realizes that she doesn't want that now.
14:31The two are then forced to go on a stage date and take pictures to post on social media, portraying themselves as a happy couple.
14:38Later, Lin goes to dinner with Tan and her father, while Lin's aunt takes Yen to secretly observe the meeting.
14:44However, Yen is exhausted due to her period.
14:47When they arrive at the restaurant, Yen gets up to fetch some warm water but stumbles.
14:51Lin and his mother see her, and Lin immediately goes to her, taking her to his table.
14:56A little while later, Qi arrives to serve the food.
14:59When Tan's father sees him, he remembers that Qi was his daughter's childhood friend and invites him to join them.
15:05Shortly after, Yen starts feeling extremely unwell, so Lin decides to take her home.
15:10As his mother follows them, she notices a stain on Yan's pants and discreetly covers it with her coat.
15:16She then tells Yan that, unlike her, she is bold and able to stand up for herself, whereas she prefers to stay silent to avoid causing more family conflicts.
15:24Because of this, she believes she isn't the right fit for their family.
15:28However, she now understands why Lin fell in love with Yan, because she is different from them.
15:33Later, Lin takes Yan to the car and feels a pang of jealousy when he finds out that Qi left her some sweets.
15:39He then tells her that Qi has been Jiang's friend for a long time, that he is kind to everyone, and that he gives all his newly invented desserts to people.
15:47Meanwhile, Jiang and Qi get into an argument after Jiang accuses him of taking ingredients from the restaurant without permission, causing a shortage.
15:55Qi insists that, while he has been experimenting with new recipes, he hasn't taken anything from the restaurant's supplies.
16:02When Jiang demands to check the security cameras, Qi refuses, saying he doesn't want anyone invading his privacy and that he plans to resign anyway.
16:10In the end, Qi follows through and quits his job.
16:13Qi goes to Tan's house and tells her that he is currently unemployed.
16:16He asks if he can stay with her until he finds a job and can afford to pay rent.
16:20Tan agrees to let him stay.
16:22When Yan finds out that Qi lost his job, she feels guilty and apologizes, thinking it was her fault for encouraging him to make more desserts for her.
16:30However, he reassures her that he was planning to resign anyway, as working at that restaurant wasn't right for him.
16:36He then gives her some new desserts he has made.
16:38Later, Yan returns home and asks Lin to buy a new coat similar to his mother's since she washed it and accidentally ruined it.
16:45As a bribe, she gives him Qi's desserts.
16:48Lin asks if she met Qi, and she admits she did, even inviting him to have a meal with them.
16:53Lin gets angry and asks what would happen if Qi found out they aren't actually dating.
16:57Yan calmly tells him that Qi already knows.
17:00Lin loses his temper, saying that Qi is Tan's friend and could tell her the truth.
17:04Yan responds indifferently, saying she doesn't care.
17:07They can tell Tan the truth as well.
17:09This only makes Lin even angrier, and he storms off, leaving her behind.
17:13Qi then invites Tan to dinner with Lin and Yan, telling her that he will try to distance Yan from Lin so she can have a chance to get back together with him.
17:21The next day, Lin visits his mother to give her the coat, telling her that he took it to the dry cleaners himself.
17:26While there, he coincidentally runs into Qi and Tan and decides to bring them home with him.
17:31Qi starts preparing the food with Yan, saying that he will teach her how to cook.
17:35However, Lin, feeling jealous, joins them in the kitchen as well.
17:39Tan quickly notices that both Qi and Lin are competing for Yan's attention.
17:43During dinner, Qi keeps serving Yan more food, making Lin even more jealous.
17:48When the evening comes to an end, Tan hugs Yan and tells her that it's obvious she and Lin are just pretending to be together.
17:54Wanting to prove her wrong, Yan suddenly moves toward Qi and kisses him in front of everyone, leaving all three of them in shock.
18:01Yan returns to her room, locking herself inside as she thinks about her kiss with Lin.
18:06The next day, she goes shopping and unexpectedly runs into Qi.
18:10She immediately scolds him for telling Tan their secret, but Qi swears he didn't say anything.
18:15She must have figured it out on her own.
18:17When he asks Yan if she has feelings for Lin, she denies it, insisting that she only kissed him to keep up the act.
18:23Qi seems disappointed, and Yan notices his change in mood.
18:27When she asks why, Qi tells her he's just worried about her because Lin is a scoundrel.
18:32Back home, Yan sees Lin and calls him a scoundrel to his face.
18:36Lin, bewildered, reminds her that she was the one who kissed him.
18:39How does that make him the bad guy?
18:41But Yan insists that she now knows the truth about him.
18:44Confused, Lin asks what she means.
18:46Yan then accuses him of dating Tan for five years only to leave her without warning.
18:51Lin denies it and demands to know where she heard that, but Yan refuses to tell him that it was Qi.
18:56Lin decides to tell Yan the truth.
18:58When he was dating Tan, she was a workaholic who never paid attention to him.
19:02One day, he went to her office to pick her up and found her boss harassing her.
19:06Enraged, he punched the man, but instead of thanking him, Tan scolded him,
19:11saying that her boss did this all the time and that she tolerated it because she was afraid of losing her job.
19:16Now, thanks to Lin, she had lost it.
19:19That was the moment Lin decided to break up with her.
19:21After hearing this, Yan realizes she misjudged him and apologizes.
19:25Meanwhile, Lin's aunt, mother, and grandmother are together when his aunt tells his grandmother about Yan kissing Lin.
19:32She predicts that this will bring them closer, and the women all agree.
19:36While they had suspected the relationship wasn't real before, the kiss convinced them otherwise.
19:40The next day, Yan tells Qi that she has taken a break from work and wants to stay at her parents' house for a while.
19:46Qi offers to drive her there, along with Lin's aunt.
19:49When they arrive, Yan's father invites Qi for a drink, but he declines.
19:53However, Lin's aunt eagerly accepts and ends up getting drunk.
19:57Lin is the one who takes her home.
19:59The following day, Jiang visits Lin and hands him a book about paintings,
20:03explaining that he has a date with his new girlfriend, Lu.
20:06He wants to impress her but hasn't been able to memorize the information from the book.
20:11Later, when Jiang takes Lu to the exhibition, he secretly calls Lin, who feeds him details about the paintings.
20:17Lu is deeply impressed.
20:19At the same time, Qi visits Yan and gives her a ticket to the same exhibition, saying he is busy and she can have it.
20:25Yan decides to go and unexpectedly finds Lin there.
20:28She stays with him, making it impossible for him to continue helping Jiang.
20:32Jiang, now on his own, reaches a particular painting but freezes before speaking about it.
20:38To his shock, Lu's expression changes, and she suddenly leaves.
20:42Jiang follows her, apologizing and admitting that he was getting help from Lin because he just wanted to impress her.
20:48But Lu tells him that's not what upset her at all.
20:50Inside the gallery, Yan and Lin reach the same painting.
20:54Yan recognizes it and tells Lin that it belongs to their old university friend.
20:58However, this friend succeeded through deceit,
21:01while Lu, who truly deserved recognition, was left behind and eventually gave up on painting altogether.
21:07As Lu and Jiang re-enter the gallery, Jiang spots Lin with Yan.
21:11As he's afraid that Yan see he now has a new girlfriend, he quickly grabs Lu and kisses her.
21:16Lin drives Yan to her parents' house, but when they arrive,
21:20he notices Qi working in their family restaurant, preparing food while being filmed by cameras.
21:25Qi tries to get very close to Yan, to the point where everyone assumes they are dating, which makes Lin jealous.
21:31The next day, one of the photographers asks Qi to get even closer to Yan for the shoot.
21:36However, at that moment, Lin steps in and declares that Yan is his girlfriend,
21:40clarifying that she and Qi are just friends.
21:43Shortly after, Yan's parents get into an argument.
21:46Yan decides to take her mother away for some air, while Qi takes her father elsewhere to calm him down.
21:52During this time, Qi stays with Yan's younger brother and asks him about his parents.
21:56The boy explains that they always fight and that Yan used to take him to the park whenever they argued.
22:01Before he was born, she would go to the park alone because they often left her home by herself after a fight.
22:06Later, Yan's mother asks her to take her younger brother to Lin's house
22:10so he can focus on studying for his exams without being distracted by their family issues.
22:15However, Yan refuses, saying she doesn't want to bother Lin.
22:18Though the truth is, she feels she has no right to impose since she's only renting a room in his house.
22:23But when Yan returns home, she finds that Lin has already taken her brother in.
22:28Not only that, but he has prepared food for him and even given him his own room,
22:32which has a desk, so he can study properly.
22:34With Lin's room occupied, he is forced to stay in Yan's room for the night.
22:38After a brief argument over who should sleep on the bed,
22:41they agree to share it, placing a pillow between them as a barrier.
22:45The next day, Jiang visits Lin, feeling down.
22:48He tells him that ever since he kissed Lu at the exhibition,
22:51she has been avoiding him and won't answer his calls.
22:54Later, when Lin and Yan return home from work,
22:56they find her younger brother quietly studying in the room.
22:59However, after a while, they discover that he was actually playing on the computer the whole time.
23:04Yan gets angry at him, but when the boy calls Lin his brother-in-law,
23:08Lin is touched and decides to forgive him.
23:11Determined to make him focus, Yan takes her brother to study at the public library.
23:15She and Lin sit beside him, watching him as he studies.
23:19After a while, Yan's friend arrives, and she steps away to talk to her.
23:23When she takes too long, Lin starts to worry and goes to check on her.
23:27When they return, they discover that Yan's brother has abandoned his studies
23:30and started playing on his phone.
23:32They sit with him again, making sure he studies properly.
23:35Over the following days, both Yan and Lin take turns supervising the boy,
23:40ensuring he focuses on his studies.
23:42Through this shared responsibility, they grow even closer.
23:46On the day of the exam, Yan personally takes her younger brother to school.
23:50While waiting outside for him, it starts to rain, and she realizes she doesn't have an umbrella.
23:55Suddenly, she finds Lin standing behind her, holding an umbrella over both of them.
24:00He tells her he'll wait with her.
24:01When her brother comes out, the parents of other students mistakenly assume
24:05that Lin and Yan are a married couple and that her brother is their son.
24:09They even comment on how young they look to have a child that age.
24:12Both Lin and Yan are annoyed, not because they were mistaken for a couple,
24:16but because the parents made them sound older than they actually are.
24:19Yan takes her brother to her parents' restaurant,
24:21where Qi presents her with a new meat dish he invented.
24:24Yan is amazed by the recipe, which makes Lin jealous.
24:28Seeing this, her younger brother turns to Lin and says,
24:31if you can cook something like this for my sister, she'll love you even more.
24:34Lin gets flustered and immediately asks Qi to sell him the recipe.
24:38However, Qi tells him that he can only teach him how to make it.
24:42Reluctantly, Lin agrees to learn.
24:44After Qi leaves, Yan scolds her brother for what he said,
24:47but he simply tells her that he feels Lin genuinely loves her.
24:51Meanwhile, he doesn't sense any romantic feelings from Qi toward her.
24:55This reveals that Yan's brother has known the truth
24:57about her relationship with Lin all along.
25:00At that moment, an interview with Lin gets released,
25:02in which he announces that Yan is his fiancée.
25:05Lin's family sees the interview, and for the first time,
25:08they feel that Yan and Lin truly belong together.
25:11His mother then makes a bold decision.
25:13She announces their wedding.
25:15The next day, Jiang visits Lin, feeling extremely frustrated.
25:19He tells him that an entire month has passed,
25:21yet Lu still refuses to speak to him after what happened at the exhibition.
25:25Lin advises him to move on and find another girl,
25:28reminding him that he's never been serious about any of his past relationships anyway.
25:32Shortly after, Lin receives a call from his mother,
25:35asking him to arrange a meeting with Yan's family.
25:38When he returns home, he prepares the same meat dish Qi had made before
25:41but tells Yan that he modified it slightly.
25:44She loves it.
25:45Then, Lin informs her that their mothers are planning to meet
25:48and that it's clear they intend to finalize the wedding date.
25:51Yan panics and insists they must cancel it somehow.
25:54She comes up with a plan, she'll send her mother to Lin the next day,
25:57and he must convince her that she's too sick to leave the house.
26:00The following day, Yan's mother visits Lin,
26:03telling him that she has had mouth ulcers for a long time
26:05and that Yan suggested she come to him for treatment before the wedding.
26:08Lin tries to persuade her to stay home and rest,
26:11but she insists that meeting Lin's mother is more important,
26:14even if it means delaying her treatment.
26:16The meeting between the two families takes place,
26:18but instead of slowing things down,
26:20both mothers get into a debate about the wedding date.
26:23Their discussion escalates until they settle on a date that is far too soon.
26:27Things spiral even further when they decide to immediately go
26:30and look for a wedding venue.
26:32Meanwhile, Yan and Lin sit together in complete shock,
26:35unable to say a single word.
26:37At the same time, Tan goes to Qi in tears after seeing the video of Lin and Yan.
26:42She tells him that their wedding date has been set
26:44and thanks him for trying to get close to Yan
26:46in an attempt to keep her away from Lin so that he could return to her.
26:49However, she admits that their plan was a complete failure
26:52and that she will never be able to win Lin back.
26:54She then drinks excessively until she is completely drunk.
26:57The next day, Yan receives a call from Lin's aunt,
27:00who tells her that she needs to see her for something important.
27:03When they meet, Lin's aunt takes her to a furniture store
27:06and begins selecting household items with her.
27:08She drags Yan from store to store,
27:10leaving her completely exhausted.
27:12Feeling overwhelmed, Yan calls Lin
27:14and demands that he come to pick her up immediately.
27:17When Lin arrives, he finds Yan in a bridal boutique
27:20where his aunt has forced her to try on a wedding dress.
27:23Seeing her in the dress, Lin is left completely mesmerized.
27:26However, Yan snaps at him,
27:28telling him to stop staring at her like an idiot
27:31and to start thinking of a way for them to break up
27:33before they actually end up getting married.
27:35Lin sighs and tells her that he has no ideas,
27:37but if she has one, he won't object.
27:39However, all of Yan's plans turn out to be terrible.
27:42A little later, Lin's mother calls and invites Yan over for dinner.
27:46When she arrives at their house,
27:48she unexpectedly overhears Lin's father on the phone with his mistress.
27:52He doesn't realize that Yan has heard everything.
27:54During dinner, Lin's father starts showering his wife with compliments,
27:58telling everyone how much he loves her.
28:00However, everyone at the table knows he is lying and cheating,
28:03yet no one dares to say a word.
28:05But Yan couldn't bear it any longer,
28:07so she excused herself to leave.
28:09When Lin followed her, she told him she had a secret to share.
28:13His father was cheating on his mother.
28:15However, she was shocked when Lin calmly admitted that he already knew.
28:19Confused, Yan asked why he hadn't done anything about it,
28:22but he simply told her to stay out of his family's affairs
28:25because it was none of her business.
28:27Angered by his indifference, Yan accused him of being cold-hearted
28:30and declared that this was the perfect opportunity for them to break up before the wedding.
28:34Unbeknownst to her, Lin's grandmother had overheard her final words.
28:38The elderly woman then asked Yan to reconsider before ending things with her grandson,
28:43as she had grown fond of them as a couple.
28:45Yan hesitated but eventually told her she would think about it.
28:48Later, Yan returned to her parents' home,
28:51where they asked if she had argued with Lin.
28:53She denied it, prompting them to suggest that she go back to his house.
28:57However, Yan refused.
28:59Instead, she called Lu, who offered to book a hotel room for them to stay in that night.
29:03By sheer coincidence, they ended up reserving the same room
29:06where Yan had once attempted to propose to Jiang.
29:09At that moment, Lin's father asked to speak with him.
29:12He told Lin that he couldn't marry Yan because she was nothing like their family.
29:16He insisted that Tan was the right person for him
29:18and that he could easily marry her while keeping Yan as his mistress in secret.
29:22Lin looked at his father with disgust
29:24and told him that he was nothing like him and could never be a cheater.
29:28The next morning, Yan and Lu woke up and went for a walk on the beach.
29:32Later, they headed to a restaurant for a meal.
29:34By chance, Qi appeared and greeted Yan before moving to another table.
29:39A short while later, Tan arrived and sat with him.
29:42Yan felt uneasy, while Lu, confused,
29:45wondered what connection Yan even had to Qi and Tan in the first place.
29:48Moments later, Lin arrived at the restaurant,
29:51grabbed Yan by the hand, and let her out,
29:53leaving Lu standing there in bewilderment,
29:55not even knowing who Lin was.
29:56Back at the hotel room, Lin confessed to Yan that his father was a cheater
30:00and that he had known about it for a long time.
30:02That was why he had always hated getting into relationships.
30:06When he met Tan, he thought there was hope.
30:08She was kind and sweet.
30:09But over time, he realized she cared about nothing but her work,
30:13and he lost hope in being with her.
30:15Before Lin could confess that meeting Yan had made him fall in love for the first time,
30:19she interrupted him, sarcastically remarking that now that Tan had left her job,
30:23his hope had been restored.
30:25Before Lin could explain, a knock came at the door.
30:28It was Tan.
30:29Yan immediately decided to hide.
30:31Lin tried to stop her,
30:32but she was determined and slipped into the room just as Tan entered.
30:36Tan entered the room and immediately asked Lin if someone was there with him.
30:39Lin openly admitted that his girlfriend, Yan, was in the room.
30:43However, Tan, still trying to convince herself that Lin and Yan's relationship was fake,
30:48insisted that he was lying and that no one else was there.
30:51In response, Lin simply opened the door and brought Yan out.
30:54I told you, my girlfriend is here, he said firmly.
30:58Before Tan could say anything Lin added,
31:00you can stay in the room, then took Yan's hand and left.
31:03Outside, Yan stopped and turned to Lin.
31:06She told him she was tired of lying to everyone around them.
31:09Their relationship had started with a lie,
31:11and there was no need to end it in a perfect way.
31:14They should just break up without offering explanations to anyone
31:18because she didn't want to be involved in his family matters any longer.
31:21Lin could see she was still upset about everything that had happened.
31:24Before he could confess his love to her, Yan cut him off,
31:27saying that she was no longer interested in renting a room in his house.
31:31She would pay him the money and leave.
31:33With that, she turned around and walked away.
31:35Lin stood there, shocked and heartbroken.
31:38But moments later, Yan came rushing back,
31:40yelling that there was a thief outside her hotel room.
31:43When Lin arrived with her, he took one look and calmly told her,
31:46it's impossible for him to be a thief.
31:48He's wearing sunglasses and holding a bottle of alcohol.
31:51He then added that the man was most likely Lu's boyfriend.
31:55Yan recalled that Lu had argued with her boyfriend earlier,
31:58making Lin's theory seem plausible.
32:00Without giving her a chance to protest,
32:02Lin insisted on taking Yan back to his room,
32:04determined to leave Lu alone to handle her own matters.
32:07As it turned out, the man was Jiang, who had come to reconcile with Lu.
32:11After numerous attempts to make amends,
32:13he ended up drinking too much and passing out.
32:16Meanwhile, Yan was still in Lin's room.
32:19Noticing that it was already midnight,
32:21she decided to return to her own room.
32:23However, Lin insisted that she send Lu a message first
32:26to check if she could go back.
32:28When Yan contacted Lu,
32:29her friend informed her that her boyfriend was already fast asleep in the room.
32:33Yan then decided to book another room for herself,
32:36but Lin refused,
32:37telling her that she wouldn't find any available rooms at that hour.
32:41Instead, he insisted that he would sleep on the floor and let her take the bed.
32:45As the night went on,
32:46Yan once again told Lin that she wanted to break up.
32:49She admitted that, above all, she felt guilty about Lu.
32:52Seeing Lin, Qi and Tan together the previous night had upset her,
32:56while Lu had been left completely in the dark about everything.
32:59Yan confessed that she didn't want to keep lying to her friend
33:02or hiding things from her anymore.
33:04She had been afraid to tell Lu the truth
33:05because she knew her friend would scold her.
33:07Lu always worried about her too much.
33:09The next morning, Yan woke up to find Qi in her room.
33:12Startled, she immediately asked what he was doing there.
33:15Qi explained that he had seen Lin leaving
33:17and decided to come in and invite her to breakfast.
33:20Then, with a guilty expression,
33:22he admitted that he had been trying to get close to her
33:24in order to push Lin back toward Tan.
33:26But now, he felt remorseful.
33:28Yan asked him if he loved Tan.
33:30Qi admitted that he did,
33:31but he had only been trying to help her be happy.
33:34However, since there was no longer any hope of her getting back together with Lin,
33:38he had decided to pursue her himself.
33:40As they talked, Lin and Tan arrived and sat at a table behind them.
33:44Curious, Yan moved closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.
33:48To her shock,
33:49she heard Tan desperately begging Lin to have a child with her
33:52because she wanted his genius genes.
33:54Stunned by Tan's words,
33:55Yan accidentally knocked over the teapot,
33:57spilling hot tea on herself.
33:59Lin immediately noticed her, rushed to her side,
34:02and quickly carried her to the hospital.
34:04Tan followed them and helped bandage Yan's burn.
34:07In that moment, she finally realized the truth.
34:09Lin no longer loved her.
34:11Accepting her loss, she chose to let go.
34:14Afterward, Lin carried Yan on his back
34:16and took her back to the hotel room where Lu was waiting.
34:19When Yan entered the room,
34:20she was completely shocked to see Jiang sleeping in the bed.
34:23She immediately asked him what he was doing there.
34:26Jiang casually responded that he was Lu's boyfriend.
34:29Still stunned, Yan asked where Lu was.
34:31Jiang told her that she had left when he woke up,
34:33but he had no idea where she had gone.
34:36However, Yan spotted Lu's phone in the room,
34:38which made her even more concerned.
34:40Determined, she announced that she was going to look for her.
34:43Yan searched for Lu
34:44and eventually found her working a part-time job at a zoo.
34:47Surprised, Yan told her that she had never known she had a job.
34:51She had always assumed Lu was wealthy,
34:53which was why she had given up on painting.
34:55Lu admitted the truth, she wasn't rich.
34:58In fact, she worked multiple part-time jobs to earn money.
35:01Then, she apologized to Yan
35:03and confessed that she had distanced herself
35:05after discovering that Jiang was Yan's ex-boyfriend.
35:08But Yan reassured her that she didn't care about that at all.
35:11After all, Jiang had never taken their relationship seriously in the first place.
35:15Curious, Yan then asked why Lu had stopped painting.
35:18Lu shook her head and said she hadn't stopped.
35:21She took Yan to her home, which was filled with paintings.
35:24She explained that when she felt like life was unfair,
35:27she decided to stop chasing her dream of becoming a famous artist, nothing more.
35:31Later, when Yan returned home,
35:33she found her brother there.
35:35He told her he would be staying with them for a while
35:37because he had more exams coming up.
35:39Later, while Lin was preparing dinner,
35:41Yan's younger brother whispered to her
35:43that Lin had been the one who asked him to stay with them during his exams.
35:46That way, Lin could spend more time with Yan
35:48and have a chance to grow closer to her.
35:50As Yan sat down for dinner,
35:52she was completely shocked to discover that her brother's so-called
35:55exam was actually a dance test.
35:58Furious, she scolded them,
36:00saying that she had been forced to spend the night with Lin last time
36:02because of this nonsense.
36:04She then declared that her brother and Lin
36:06would have to stay together in the same room.
36:08However, the bed in Lin's room was too small for both of them.
36:11Left with no choice,
36:13they ended up sleeping in the training hall instead.
36:15The next morning, Lin asked Yan's brother
36:17how he could get closer to her.
36:19The boy advised him that the first step was to make her jealous.
36:22He suggested that Lin pretend to have a muscle strain
36:25and ask the female instructor for help.
36:27Lin followed the plan perfectly.
36:29When Yan arrived, he pretended to fall
36:31and claimed to have a muscle strain,
36:33requesting assistance from the instructor.
36:35As expected, Yan became jealous
36:37and rushed over to help Lin herself.
36:39She outright declared that Lin was her husband
36:41and that her brother was their son.
36:43Then, without giving anyone a chance to react,
36:45she grabbed them both and stormed out in anger.
36:48On the way back,
36:49her brother tried to smooth things over between her and Lin.
36:52In an attempt to bring them closer,
36:54he suddenly pushed Lin toward her.
36:56But instead of helping,
36:57this only made Yan angrier.
36:59Frustrated, she told them she was leaving
37:01because she had a business dinner to attend.
37:03However, when she checked the details,
37:05she was surprised to learn that the dinner
37:07was actually being held at her parents' restaurant.
37:09Deciding to go with Lin and her brother,
37:11Yan headed there.
37:13Lin stepped in to help Yan's parents with cooking.
37:15While assisting her mother,
37:17he cautiously asked if she was planning
37:19to start her medical treatment soon.
37:21Her mother sighed and admitted that,
37:23with the wedding approaching,
37:24she had decided to postpone the treatment
37:26until after the wedding was over.
37:28A little while later,
37:29Qi arrived at the restaurant alongside Yan's manager.
37:32The manager introduced Qi as the food critic
37:34they would be interviewing.
37:36After greeting everyone,
37:37Qi stepped inside and approached Lin,
37:39apologizing for his previous attempts
37:41to get close to Yan in order to make room for Lin and Tan.
37:44Lin, however, assured him that he wasn't angry
37:47because he had understood his intentions from the start.
37:49Despite that,
37:50he couldn't deny that he had felt jealous
37:52every time Qi tried to get closer to Yan.
37:54Qi then admitted that from now on,
37:56he would be focusing on pursuing Tan instead.
37:59Lin encouraged him,
38:00telling him to go for it.
38:02Shortly after,
38:03Tan also arrived at the restaurant.
38:05While there,
38:06she noticed Yan's manager harassing
38:08one of their female colleagues.
38:09The sight instantly triggered painful memories
38:12of her own past experiences,
38:13filling her with rage.
38:15Without hesitation,
38:16Tan stormed over to the man
38:18and began berating him in front of everyone.
38:20However,
38:21the young woman,
38:22fearing for her job,
38:23denied that anything had happened.
38:25Tan,
38:26remembering how powerless she had once felt
38:28in similar situations,
38:29refused to back down.
38:30Her anger boiled over,
38:32and in front of everyone,
38:33she struck the man without caring about his position.
38:36Then,
38:37she reassured the woman,
38:38telling her not to worry about anything.
38:40The next day,
38:41when Yan arrived at work the next day,
38:43she immediately sensed that her colleague
38:45wasn't doing well.
38:46Before she could ask what was wrong,
38:48another co-worker approached them with surprising news.
38:51There had been a sudden change in management,
38:53and their editor-in-chief had been replaced.
38:55Moments later,
38:56Yan and her colleague stepped into the office.
38:58Only to be completely shocked
39:00when they saw who was sitting in the editor's chair.
39:02Tan hands them the project files
39:04for their next collaboration with a foreign writer.
39:06At the same time,
39:07Lin sits with Jiang and Yan's younger brother,
39:10asking them how he can confess his love to her.
39:12Jiang recalls how Yan had prepared
39:14his hotel room romantically
39:16when she proposed to him
39:17and tells Lin to do exactly the same.
39:19Lin follows his advice
39:20and decorates the house accordingly,
39:22but Jiang later tells him the final result isn't great.
39:25However, it's too late to change anything.
39:27When the doorbell rings,
39:29Lin assumes it's Yan,
39:30only to find Tan instead,
39:32bringing Yan's phone,
39:33which she had forgotten at work.
39:34Just as Yan arrives,
39:36she sees Lin and Tan
39:37stepping out of the house together.
39:39After Tan leaves,
39:40Yan, clearly jealous,
39:41asks Lin what she was doing there.
39:43Lin, trying to tease her,
39:45says that Tan wanted to hug him.
39:47Even though it was just a farewell hug
39:48and he had refused,
39:49his words only irritate Yan more.
39:51When she steps inside
39:53and notices the decorations,
39:54she still feels upset
39:55that Tan saw them before she did.
39:57Lin stands in front of her and says,
39:59I knew you wouldn't like it either.
40:01Upon hearing the word either,
40:03Yan assumes he is talking about Tan's opinion,
40:05thinking she didn't like it either.
40:07In reality,
40:08Lin was referring to Jiang.
40:10But Yan becomes so upset
40:11that she leaves the house.
40:13Yan goes to her brother's dance studio
40:15and asks to borrow his English books
40:17because she wants to learn the language
40:18to communicate with the foreign writer.
40:20However,
40:21she finds it difficult to study at the studio.
40:23So she decides to return to Lin's house
40:25with her brother
40:26and study there instead.
40:27Each time Lin and her brother make noise,
40:29she asks them to be quiet
40:31so she can concentrate.
40:32Eventually,
40:33they decide to take her to the library
40:35so she can study in peace.
40:37The next day,
40:38Yan's mother goes to the hospital
40:39for a checkup as Lin had advised.
40:41The doctor informs her
40:42that she needs to start treatment immediately.
40:45Meanwhile,
40:46Lin talks to Tan
40:47and tells her that Yan's mother
40:48actually has oral cancer.
40:50Though it's not in an advanced stage,
40:52she must begin treatment as soon as possible.
40:54On the day of Yan's brother's dance test,
40:56he performs successfully.
40:58Afterward,
40:59Lin and Yan leave him with Jiang
41:00and head off to meet the foreign writer.
41:02However,
41:03Yan is shocked to discover
41:04that the writer is actually Korean
41:06and speaks Chinese.
41:07Realizing that all her studying was in vain,
41:10Tan meets with Yan,
41:11Lin,
41:12and the foreign writer,
41:13informing them that the illustrator
41:14working with him
41:15will not be chosen randomly.
41:16Instead,
41:17there will be an exhibition for artists
41:19and the writer will select the winning painting
41:21and collaborate with its creator.
41:23Tan encourages Yan to participate
41:25and Yan, in turn,
41:26convinces Lu to join as well.
41:28Lu dedicates herself
41:29to intense practice in her studio,
41:31pushing her artistic limits.
41:33Meanwhile,
41:34she refuses to reach out to Jiang,
41:36determined to make him call her first.
41:38Later,
41:39Qi visits Tan with his medical reports
41:41after undergoing a full checkup.
41:43He hands them to her,
41:44assuring her that he is in good health
41:46and expressing his desire to be with her.
41:48Tan responds that she will accept him
41:50if he proposes to her
41:51in a way that impresses her.
41:53That evening,
41:54when Qi visits Tan,
41:55he finds the Korean writer there
41:57and immediately assumes he is a pervert.
41:59Enraged,
42:00he attempts to hit him,
42:01but Tan stops him,
42:02explaining that they are simply
42:03having a work meeting.
42:05Qi joins them,
42:06though he can't hide his jealousy.
42:08During the conversation,
42:09Tan tells the writer
42:10that Qi is her close friend.
42:12However,
42:13because of his limited Chinese,
42:14he misinterprets her words,
42:16thinking she meant that
42:17she only works with Qi.
42:19The following day,
42:20Tan and the writer visit
42:21an art exhibition together.
42:23Out of jealousy,
42:24Qi secretly follows them.
42:26At one point,
42:27the Korean writer expresses
42:28how happy he is to be on a date with her,
42:30but he actually means it
42:31as a business meeting.
42:33Hearing this,
42:34Qi quickly intervenes
42:35and tells him in Korean,
42:36This is a business meeting,
42:37not a date.
42:38No one can go on a date with her except me.
42:41Then, he grabs Tan
42:42and leaves with her.
42:43The next day,
42:44the exhibition takes place.
42:46The paintings are presented
42:47anonymously to the writer,
42:49and he selects Lu's piece
42:50as the winner.
42:51Overwhelmed with happiness,
42:52Lu can hardly believe it.
42:54Yen secures second place,
42:56while third place
42:57goes to an artist
42:58who is later revealed
42:59to be the same woman
43:00who had previously
43:01stolen Lu's painting
43:02and submitted it as her own.
43:03Because of this theft,
43:04she rose to fame,
43:05and her paintings
43:06now sell for millions,
43:08while Lu remains unknown.
43:10When the writer realizes
43:11that the famous artist
43:12lost the competition,
43:13he suggests adding her name
43:14to the contract
43:15as if she were
43:16the chosen illustrator.
43:18In return,
43:19he would take Lu's painting,
43:20reasoning that her name
43:21would bring greater success
43:22to his book.
43:23Upon hearing this,
43:24both Yen and Lu
43:25firmly refuse.
43:26Lu then tells the writer
43:27that she admires his work
43:29and even quotes
43:30one of his books.
43:31In contrast,
43:32the famous artist,
43:33when asked,
43:34fails to recall
43:35anything about his work.
43:36Embarrassed,
43:37the writer apologizes to Lu
43:39and assures her
43:40that he will collaborate
43:41with her instead.
43:42Furious,
43:43the famous artist
43:44slaps her assistant
43:45for failing to secure
43:46her victory
43:47and orders her
43:48to spread a statement
43:49to the media,
43:50claiming that she
43:51intentionally lowered
43:52her artistic standard
43:53to let her colleague
43:54win instead.
43:55Yen sits with Lu
43:56and asks her
43:57why she refuses
43:58to meet Zhang.
43:59Lu confesses that,
44:00some time ago,
44:01Zhang's mother
44:02bought a painting from her,
44:03the very same painting
44:04that the famous artist
44:05later stole
44:06and sold for millions.
44:07Lu had unknowingly
44:09Now,
44:10she fears that
44:11if Zhang's mother
44:12ever finds out,
44:13she will assume Lu
44:14is the thief
44:15and she wants to avoid
44:16that misunderstanding.
44:17Meanwhile,
44:18Zhang is with his mother
44:19who has forced him
44:20into a blind date
44:21with a girl.
44:22Hoping to escape
44:23the situation,
44:24he tells his mother
44:25that he is already
44:26dating someone
44:27and loves her.
44:28However,
44:29she remains unfazed,
44:30insisting that
44:31since he isn't married yet,
44:32he is still available.
44:33She then forces him
44:34to take the girl
44:35on a date
44:36to an amusement park,
44:38Zhang calls Lin for help,
44:39asking him to come with Yan.
44:41When the four of them meet up,
44:42Qi and Tan,
44:43who had also been out together,
44:44run into them as well.
44:46Zhang looks at the girl
44:47and tells her,
44:48Look at Yan,
44:49she was my ex-girlfriend
44:50and now she's dating my friend.
44:52And Tan,
44:53she was my friend's ex-girlfriend
44:54and now she's with my other friend.
44:56We all have extremely
44:58complicated relationships,
44:59you won't fit in.
45:00But instead of being discouraged,
45:02the girl finds their
45:03tangled connections exciting
45:04and insists that
45:05she doesn't mind.
45:06Annoyed,
45:07Zhang reluctantly takes her
45:08inside to play some games.
45:10Determined to make her
45:11give up on him,
45:12he forces her onto
45:13multiple extreme rides,
45:15hoping she will back out.
45:16However,
45:17she refuses to quit.
45:18Finally,
45:19they all arrive
45:20at the haunted house.
45:21It turns out that
45:22the girl is terrified
45:23of the dark
45:24and refuses to go in.
45:25Seeing an opportunity,
45:26Zhang tells her,
45:27If you're not brave enough
45:28to enter the haunted house
45:29with me,
45:30then I can never date you.
45:32At last,
45:33the girl decides to leave.
45:34Qi then takes Tan
45:35and they leave as well.
45:36Just as Zhang is about to go,
45:38he glances behind a tree
45:39and realizes that
45:40the girl is still
45:41secretly watching him.
45:42Smirking,
45:43he grabs Yan and Lin
45:44and leads them
45:45into the haunted house,
45:46despite their obvious fear.
45:48At that moment,
45:49Yan remembers that
45:50Lu works part-time
45:51at the haunted house.
45:52She quickly texts her,
45:53saying she wants to meet.
45:55Without hesitation,
45:56she leaves Lin and Zhang behind
45:58and goes to find Lu.
45:59Yan tells Lu that
46:00Zhang was with her before,
46:02but now she is certain
46:03that he is completely
46:04serious about her
46:05and that she should
46:06give him a chance.
46:07She then leaves to find Lin,
46:08who had also gone out
46:09at the same time
46:10to look for her.
46:11Zhang is left alone
46:12in the haunted house,
46:13feeling scared.
46:14Suddenly,
46:15he sees Lu
46:16in a terrifying costume
46:17with her hair
46:18covering her face.
46:19But as soon as she reaches him,
46:20he pulls her
46:21into an embrace,
46:22telling her that
46:23he knows it's her
46:24and that he isn't
46:25afraid of her.
46:26Lu asks if he knows
46:27what she does here
46:28and he jokingly asks,
46:29Are you the owner
46:30of this place?
46:31She then confesses
46:32that she isn't rich
46:33as she once made him believe
46:34and that she works
46:35part-time to make a living.
46:36Zhang calls her silly
46:37for staying away from him
46:38over something like this,
46:39saying that he had already
46:40seen her working before
46:41and knew she wasn't wealthy.
46:43It never mattered to him
46:44because he truly loves her.
46:46Before Lu can confess
46:47about the painting
46:48she sold to his mother,
46:49Zhang admits that
46:50he is still scared
46:51and wants to leave
46:52the haunted house.
46:53Lu helps him
46:54find the exit.
46:55Meanwhile,
46:56Lin sits with Yan,
46:57who opens up
46:58about her past.
46:59She tells him that
47:00when she was young,
47:01her parents would
47:02constantly fight
47:03and leave her alone
47:04at home,
47:05making her feel abandoned.
47:06Even now,
47:07she fears loneliness.
47:08She then asks Lin
47:09how he manages
47:10to live alone
47:11without being afraid of it.
47:12Lin explains that
47:13because of his parents'
47:14toxic relationship,
47:15he always preferred
47:16solitude to escape
47:17their problems.
47:18But every time
47:19he tried to isolate himself,
47:20she would appear
47:21and pull him
47:22out of his loneliness.
47:23He then shares
47:24a memory with her.
47:25The first time
47:26he ran away from home
47:27due to his parents,
47:28he found an injured girl
47:29on the road
47:30and helped her.
47:31When he woke up with Tan,
47:32he wandered the streets alone
47:33but found a sick girl
47:34under the rain,
47:35took her to the hospital,
47:36and helped her.
47:37Later,
47:38when he discovered
47:39his father was cheating
47:40on his mother
47:41and felt completely lost,
47:42that same girl
47:43knocked on his door,
47:44asking to rent a room
47:45in his house.
47:46Lin then reveals
47:47that she was that girl.
47:48The same girl
47:49he had encountered twice
47:50before meeting her again
47:51through Jiang.
47:52Because of this,
47:53he always felt guilty
47:54for everything
47:55that happened between them.
47:56Finally,
47:57Lin confesses that
47:58he loves her
47:59and can't live without her.
48:00But Xi loves him too
48:01and decides to stay
48:02with him forever.
48:03At the same time,
48:04Xi successfully convinces
48:05Tan of his love
48:06and they become
48:07a couple as well.
48:08Later,
48:09Yan realizes
48:10that the notes
48:11Xi and Lin wrote,
48:12the ones listing
48:13everything they liked
48:14so they could study them
48:15before meeting their families,
48:16are missing.
48:17Lin searches his car
48:18but can't find the papers.
48:19He fears that
48:20they might have ended up
48:21in the hands of his mother
48:22or aunt,
48:23exposing the fact
48:24that their relationship
48:25started as a fake one.
48:26However,
48:27the opposite happens.
48:28Lin's mother tells them
48:29that they can't delay
48:30the wedding any longer.
48:31Lin tries to explain
48:32that he has
48:33an important project
48:34coming up
48:35and that he will marry Yan
48:36as soon as it's done.
48:37But Yan feels uneasy
48:38because she isn't ready
48:39for marriage yet.
48:40Later,
48:41Lin's mother decides
48:42to give Yan
48:43the engagement ring
48:44that Lin's father
48:45had proposed to her with.
48:46When Yan refuses
48:47to accept it,
48:48Lin takes the ring
48:49and places it
48:50on her finger himself.
48:51Afterward,
48:52Lin, Yan, Jiang,
48:53and Lu meet
48:54at Jiang's restaurant.
48:55Suddenly,
48:56they hear a commotion
48:57coming from the kitchen.
48:58When they go to check,
48:59they find that the head chef
49:00has hit Qi
49:01for entering the kitchen.
49:02Jiang, furious,
49:04yells at the chef,
49:05declaring that Qi
49:06is his friend
49:07and that he was the one
49:08who asked him
49:09to prepare a special dish.
49:10The chef accuses Qi
49:11of stealing ingredients before,
49:13but Jiang defends him,
49:14revealing that
49:15even after Qi resigned,
49:16the thefts continued.
49:17He had reviewed
49:18the security footage
49:19and discovered
49:20that the real thief
49:21was the chef himself.
49:22Jiang then fires
49:23the chef on the spot
49:24and appoints Qi
49:25as the new head chef
49:26of the restaurant.
49:27Tan arrives
49:28at the restaurant
49:29looking for Yan
49:30but finds Qi injured.
49:31She immediately
49:32tends to his wound
49:33before taking Yan
49:34to an important meeting
49:35at the company.
49:36At the meeting,
49:37they encounter
49:38the harassing manager
49:39who protests
49:40when Tan informs him
49:41that she will be working
49:42on the new project with them.
49:43She quickly reminds him
49:44that her position
49:45is higher than his,
49:46meaning she doesn't
49:47take orders from him.
49:48Soon,
49:49Yan's colleague,
49:50the one the manager
49:51had harassed before,
49:52enters the room.
49:53Out of fear,
49:54she sits next to him
49:55and pretends
49:56everything is fine.
49:57Seeing this,
49:58Tan and Yan
49:59exchange looks
50:00and silently agree
50:01to help her
50:02without waiting for her
50:03to ask for their support.
50:04Later,
50:05Yan receives a call
50:06from her mother
50:07telling her that Lin
50:08is drinking with her father.
50:09When she arrives,
50:10she finds her father
50:11heavily intoxicated
50:12and Lin completely drunk.
50:13Her mother suggests
50:14that Lin should stay
50:15the night.
50:16Lin,
50:17too drunk to think clearly,
50:18heads to Yan's room
50:19and falls asleep there.
50:20As Yan prepares to leave,
50:22he asks her to stay with him.
50:24She hesitates
50:25and eventually stays.
50:26The next morning,
50:27their parents walk in
50:28to find them
50:29sleeping next to each other.
50:30Yan's father
50:31is visibly upset,
50:32but her mother
50:33calmly tells them
50:34that breakfast is ready.
50:35At this point,
50:36Lu meets with Jiang
50:37and tells him
50:38that she has decided
50:39to face his mother
50:40since she will have to
50:41meet her eventually.
50:42She then explains
50:43everything that happened
50:44with the famous painter
50:45who stole from her.
50:46Jiang believes her
50:47and reassures her
50:48that he has seen
50:49her artwork before
50:50and trusts in her talent.
50:51Jiang then asks Lin
50:52and Yan to come over
50:53and requests that Lu
50:54stay inside
50:55while he speaks
50:56to his mother first.
50:57However,
50:58as soon as they begin
50:59talking to Jiang's mother,
51:00Lu steps out
51:01and introduces herself
51:02as Jiang's girlfriend.
51:03Predictably,
51:04Jiang's mother
51:05immediately accuses her
51:06of being a thief
51:07and walks away
51:08without listening
51:09to anything else.
51:10Determined to change
51:11his mother's mind,
51:12Jiang follows her home.
51:13He cleans the entire
51:14house for her
51:15and then sits with her
51:16to explain Lu's story,
51:17revealing that the real thief
51:18was the other woman.
51:19Just as he is
51:20about to finish,
51:21the delivery person
51:22his mother had ordered
51:23from arrives.
51:24To his surprise,
51:25it's Lu.
51:26She freezes in embarrassment,
51:27feeling humiliated
51:28that Jiang has now seen
51:29yet another job
51:30she works to make a living.
51:32Without saying a word,
51:33she quickly leaves.
51:35Later,
51:36when Jiang's mother
51:37steps outside
51:38and realizes that Lu
51:39was the delivery girl,
51:40Jiang tells her
51:41that Lu is a hardworking girl
51:42who takes on many jobs
51:43to support herself.
51:44He also tells her
51:45that Lu is not only talented
51:47but also beautiful.
51:48Slowly,
51:49his mother begins
51:50to reconsider her opinion
51:51about Lu.
51:52Meanwhile,
51:53Lu goes to Yan in tears,
51:54convinced that Jiang's mother
51:56will never accept her.
51:57At the same time,
51:58Jiang, Lin, and Qi
52:00meet up to figure out a way
52:01to prove that the famous artist
52:02is nothing but a fraud.
52:04Before they can act,
52:05however,
52:06the artist's assistant,
52:07whom Lu had slapped before,
52:09goes public on social media,
52:10revealing that the so-called
52:11famous artist
52:12has been stealing
52:13Lu's paintings all along.
52:15She also confesses
52:16that the artist
52:17is even stealing from her now
52:18as she was the one
52:19painting everything.
52:20Tired of working
52:21under a thief,
52:22she finally exposes the truth.
52:24When Jiang's mother
52:25learns about this scandal,
52:26she goes to Lu
52:27at her workplace.
52:28She tells her
52:29to quit all her part-time jobs
52:31and offers her a position
52:32as the manager
52:33of Jiang's restaurant.
52:34Finally,
52:35she accepts Lu
52:36as her son's girlfriend.
52:37At the same time,
52:38Lin's mother calls
52:39both him and Yan
52:40to come over.
52:41When they arrive,
52:42she confronts them
52:43for lying to her.
52:44She reveals
52:45that she found their notes
52:46and that Lin's aunt
52:47had originally hidden them
52:48so she wouldn't see them.
52:49Lin admits
52:50that their relationship
52:51started as a lie
52:52but insists
52:53that they genuinely
52:54fell in love.
52:55However,
52:56his mother refuses
52:57to accept a relationship
52:58that began with deception.
52:59In response,
53:00Yan takes out
53:01the diamond ring
53:02and apologizes.
53:03She tells Lin's mother,
53:04I know you don't like me,
53:06but you didn't have to test me
53:07with a fake ring.
53:08Lin's mother is shocked.
53:09She had no idea
53:10that the diamond ring
53:11Lin's father had given her
53:12was fake
53:13from the very beginning.
53:14When Yan leaves Lin's house,
53:16she tells him
53:17that their relationship
53:18is too difficult
53:19as long as their families
53:20disapprove of it.
53:21She then walks away
53:22leaving him standing there.
53:24Just as she leaves,
53:25Lin's mother calls out to him.
53:26Yan returns home,
53:28feeling heartbroken.
53:29Her mother notices her sadness
53:31and asks what's wrong.
53:32Yan tells her
53:33that she and Lin
53:34have broken up
53:35before shutting herself
53:36in her room.
53:37However,
53:38she soon receives a call
53:39from her co-worker
53:40who is crying.
53:41Alarmed,
53:42Yan rushes over with Tan
53:43only to find the girl
53:44completely devastated.
53:45Through her tears,
53:46the girl reveals
53:47that she had been
53:48pretending to go along
53:49with the harassing boss,
53:50convincing him
53:51that she wouldn't report him
53:52just so she could
53:53secretly record him.
53:54Since he always managed
53:55to delete the surveillance footage,
53:57this was the only way
53:58to gather evidence.
53:59But today,
54:00she finally succeeded
54:01in filming him.
54:02Now,
54:03she asks for their help
54:04in reporting him.
54:05Yan and Tan
54:06stand by her side
54:07as they officially
54:08report him to the police.
54:09The next day,
54:10Lin takes his mother
54:11to the hospital
54:12for a checkup
54:13as she hasn't been feeling well.
54:14While there,
54:15he finally confesses
54:16that he truly loves Yan
54:17and doesn't want to lose her.
54:19His mother sighs
54:20and tells him
54:21that he's an idiot.
54:22If you had just told me
54:23from the beginning
54:24that she was your tenant,
54:25I would have tried
54:26to bring you two together.
54:27I only wanted you
54:28to date someone,
54:29anyone.
54:30At that moment,
54:31they run into Yan's mother.
54:32She looks at Lin
54:33and asks him,
54:34Do you still love my daughter?
54:36Without hesitation,
54:37Lin responds,
54:38I love her very much
54:39and I'm going to win her back.
54:41Meanwhile,
54:42Yan's parents argue again.
54:43This time,
54:44her father decides
54:45to take a break
54:46from managing the restaurant
54:47and hands the responsibility
54:48over to Yan.
54:49He also tells her
54:50that he will hire
54:51a young man to help her.
54:52However,
54:53the new worker
54:54turns out to be inexperienced,
54:55leaving Yan to handle
54:56most of the workload herself.
54:58She even has to start
54:59delivering orders personally.
55:01At the same time,
55:02Jiang meets with Lu's family
55:04and officially proposes to her.
55:05Tan takes Yan's co-worker
55:07to a therapist,
55:08hoping to help her recover
55:09from the repeated harassment
55:10she endured.
55:11Lin's aunt,
55:12mother,
55:13and grandfather
55:14decide to take a trip together
55:15to relax
55:16and clear their minds.
55:17The next day,
55:18the young man
55:19working with Yan notices
55:20that she is in severe pain
55:21due to her toothache.
55:22He tells her
55:23that he knows
55:24a good dentist
55:25and gives Yan
55:26the number of a clinic.
55:27Yan is shocked to realize
55:28that it is the same clinic
55:29Lin works at,
55:30but since there are
55:31other dentists there,
55:32she decides to go at a time
55:33when Lin won't be around.
55:34However,
55:35when she arrives,
55:36she finds Lin
55:37standing right in front of her.
55:38He tells her
55:39that no one else
55:40will treat her except him.
55:41He takes her
55:42to the treatment room
55:43and when she nervously asks
55:44if it will hurt,
55:45he reassures her
55:46that it won't.
55:47But once the procedure
55:48is over,
55:49Yan angrily scolds him
55:50because the pain
55:51was unbearable.
55:52Lin tells her
55:53to go home and rest,
55:54but she insists
55:55on delivering
55:56in order first.
55:57Lin follows her
55:58from a distance,
55:59keeping an eye on her.
56:00However,
56:01she suddenly develops
56:02a fever and collapses.
56:03Without hesitation,
56:04he carries her home
56:05and takes care of her.
56:06The next morning,
56:07Yan wakes up
56:08and remembers
56:09that Lin stayed by her side.
56:10She worries
56:11that she might have said
56:12something embarrassing
56:13in her feverish state,
56:14but Lin assures her
56:15that nothing happened.
56:16Later,
56:17she visits the clinic
56:18for a follow-up
56:19on her tooth.
56:20While she's there,
56:21an argument breaks out
56:22between a patient
56:23and a security guard.
56:24Lin intervenes,
56:25but the man
56:26ends up hitting him,
56:27injuring his hand.
56:28Yan immediately
56:29rushes him
56:30to the hospital.
56:31After examining him,
56:32the doctor delivers
56:33alarming news.
56:34Lin's injury
56:35is serious
56:36and requires surgery.
56:37There's a possibility
56:38that he may never
56:39fully regain
56:40the function of his hand,
56:41which is crucial for him
56:42as a dentist.
56:43Lin is deeply worried,
56:44but Yan reassures him,
56:45telling him
56:46that she won't
56:47leave his side now
56:48or after the surgery.
56:49She makes him promise
56:50and soon,
56:51all their friends arrive
56:52at the hospital
56:53to support him.
56:54Lin undergoes the surgery,
56:55which turns out
56:56to be successful.
56:57Yan then moves
56:58into his home
56:59to take care of him
57:00during his recovery.
57:01One day,
57:02Lin calls his mother
57:03and tells her
57:04that he and Yan
57:05are back together.
57:06Overjoyed,
57:07she invites them
57:08to Jiang and Lu's wedding.
57:09At the wedding,
57:10everyone gathers
57:11to celebrate.
57:12Afterward,
57:13Lin starts his physical therapy
57:14and tries to return to archery.
57:16At first,
57:17he struggles
57:18and can't shoot properly.
57:19But Yan encourages him,
57:20reminding him
57:21that he once promised
57:22to teach her archery.
57:23Determined,
57:24Lin starts training her
57:25and as he does,
57:26he slowly regains
57:27his own skills.
57:28Seeing his progress
57:29fills him with happiness.
57:31After that,
57:32Qi takes Tan to a center
57:33that trains mothers
57:34on how to care for children.
57:36He tells her
57:37that he once heard her say
57:38she wanted to be a good mother,
57:39so he brought her there.
57:40Touched by his thoughtfulness,
57:41Tan later decides
57:42to propose to Qi herself
57:44and they get married.
57:45Meanwhile,
57:46Yan discovers
57:47that the client
57:48she will be working with
57:49is none other
57:50than Lin's father's
57:51former mistress.
57:52At first,
57:53she refuses to collaborate with her,
57:54but the woman approaches Yan
57:55and tells her
57:56to think of her
57:57as a mother figure now.
57:58Before Yan can respond,
57:59Lin's mother
58:00suddenly enters the room
58:01and sternly tells the woman,
58:02I left my husband to you,
58:04but you will never
58:05take my son's wife.
58:06She then takes Yan
58:07and leaves with her.
58:08Later,
58:09Lin meets with his father
58:10who confesses
58:11that he deeply regrets
58:12betraying his wife.
58:13He says that
58:14if he had a second chance,
58:15he would never
58:16make the same mistake.
58:17That night,
58:18he goes back home
58:19and begs Lin's mother
58:20to give him another chance.
58:21But for the first time,
58:22she stands firm.
58:23She tells him
58:24that she has made up her mind,
58:25she wants a divorce,
58:26and she won't change her decision.
58:28Eventually,
58:29the divorce is finalized.
58:31At the same time,
58:32Yan receives a call
58:33from her father
58:34who frantically tells her
58:35that her mother has disappeared.
58:37Lin accompanies Yan
58:38to her father
58:39who reveals that
58:40his last fight with his wife
58:41was because she refused
58:42to seek treatment
58:43before Yan's wedding.
58:44The truth is,
58:45they don't have the money
58:46to afford her medical expenses.
58:48That's why he decided
58:49to sell the restaurant
58:50to pay for her treatment,
58:51but when she found out,
58:52she ran away.
58:53Deeply moved by their struggle,
58:55Lin and their friends
58:56join the search
58:57for Yan's mother.
58:58When they finally find her,
58:59Yan embraces her tightly,
59:01begging her to start the treatment.
59:03She tearfully tells her mother
59:04that her father
59:05has already sold the restaurant
59:06for her sake.
59:07Hearing this,
59:08Yan's mother finally agrees
59:09to receive treatment.
59:11In the end,
59:12Lin and Yan's wedding date
59:13is set.
59:14On the day of the ceremony,
59:15everyone gathers to celebrate.
59:17Right before the ceremony begins,
59:19they receive surprising news.
59:21Tan is pregnant.
59:22The group congratulates her
59:23with excitement.
59:24Finally,
59:25Lin and Yan get married,
59:27surrounded by their loved ones,
59:28as everyone cheers
59:29and wishes them happiness.
