Episode 20
Wu Yi An.
Good morning, Instructor.
My apologies. Because I had to take Grandma to her friend's house this morning, I couldn't come pick you up.
It's okay, Instructor. You don't need to specially come to pick me up.
I can take the bus to work.
This breakfast is for you.
Thank you, but...I've eaten breakfast already.
I understand. Then I'll go prepare for the classes.
Today's lesson is the catwalk.
Aside from challenging your own courage and feel for balance,
the other purpose is to let you learn how to build trust and divide responsibilities.
The way to play is simple.
Two people get on the bridge from each end,
exchange places with each other at the center, and continue forward.
When you both reach the other side, the mission is considered complete.
Careful, careful. Walk after you've caught your balance.
Come on.
Give me your hand first.
Ready?
One, two, three...
I've got you!
Don't be afraid! I won't let you fall down!
Yao You Zhen, let go.
I can't possibly let go. If I let go, you'll fall!
There's a safety rope on me, I won't actually fall down.
Holding onto me like this, I can neither go up nor down, so it's actually even more upsetting.
Oh, right. That's right.
I forgot. Then, I'll let go now.
Go ahead, let go.
Careful.
One, two, three...
Okay, we've switched.
Alright, careful on your way back.
As of today, you have completed all the courses.
That's great. It's finally over.
Although it's over, your results were not passing.
That is my responsibility, I will reflect on it.
Afterwards, I will personally apologize and report to the Chairman.
To report, Instructor, we're really sorry. We were the ones who didn't perform well enough.
To report, Instructor, although our performance this time wasn't too ideal,
but I feel that through this training, I already completely understand
how important cooperating and trusting each other is when it comes to teamwork.
Perhaps the training results weren't too successful,
but I believe that we both gained from this experience.
So, it probably doesn't count as a complete failure, right?
If that's the case, I will feel very gratified.
At least your coming here wasn't a waste.
But please remember
to take all the the teamwork, trust,
mutual accommodating, support, and care that you learned here back with you,
and use it in your work and in life. Understand?
Understand. Thank you, Instructor.
Thank you, Instructor.
Boss! The feast is here!
Second Brother, your treat?
I never got the chance to show the two of you my hospitality.
Since today's the last day of training, of course, I have to be a good host.
Second Brother.
Are you sure you're simply just trying to treat me and You Zhen?
We're probably benefiting because of Wu Yi An, right?
Boss, Boss! So you wanted me to prepare all of this because of Wu Yi An?
Hey~ You could've said so earlier.
Okay, okay, then we won't be polite. Let's start eating!
- Let's eat! - Let's eat!
Come on, this one. It's good stuff.
Yi An, don't you really like eating pizza? Hurry, come over and eat with us!
Instructor, I have something I'd like to say to you in private.
You really have to be more decisive about this.
If you think it's okay to give it a try, then try it out.
If not, then you have to hurry and make it clear to Zhen Hao.
You have to be decisive and more clear-cut.
Instructor,
from now on, stop doing those things for me.
What things?
Like... such as ordering food like that just now.
I hope that you won't keep wasting your time and effort on me.
Because... I hope that we can just maintain our relationship as friends and coworkers.
I'm sorry.
I understand.
♬ How come it doesn't hurt when my heart breaks? ♬
♬ How come I'm not happy when I smile? ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
You Zhen!
The elevator pervert has been caught!
What?
I just heard from security. A pervert got caught red-handed in the elevator.
Really? There's such news?
Yes, the police investigated it. Do you know what they found? - What did they find?
That pervert has even ridden the same elevator that we did!
That time when someone touched your butt!
He was behind you, diagonally.
You don't need to place blame on me for things I didn't do.
Despicable actions such as sexual harassment, I hate it more than you do.
Come in.
What is it?
Mr. CEO, I came to apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
You... Why are you apologizing to me?
Because today, the police caught the guy who touched my butt in the elevator that time.
So, I really did misunderstand you.
See? I told you it wasn't me.
How about it? Now that my innocence has been proven, do you see now that you were wrong?
I'm really sorry.
You know you're sorry now?
How harmful is it to his reputation when a perfectly normal man is regarded as a pervert?
Also, do you know how big of a toll this took on my mental health?
Originally I was going to ask you to compensate for my mental injury,
but since I'm generous, you should be thankful.
Mr. CEO, you seem to have forgotten something.
What?
Even though it wasn't you who touched my butt in the elevator,
you did touch me after.
Do you know how great of a toll that has taken on my mental health?
That's because... you wouldn't listen to any of my explanations.
My principle is, if I did something, I'll admit it.
If I didn't do something, then no matter who tries to force me to admit it, it won't happen.
Since you just had to force me to admit it, I had no choice but to actually touch you, or else I would have been wronged.
Okay, no matter what, I'm letting you know that everything has been investigated and cleared up.
I'm very sorry that I misunderstood you.
And as for what you did to me afterwards—
Regarding what you did to me afterwards, don't worry, I will choose to forget it.
- Sorry for bothering you. I'll get to work now. - Okay.
That's a relief. My innocence has finally been proven.
I've already rejected the instructor, and told him very clearly
that we only have a work relationship.
Then, did he say anything?
He didn't have a huge reaction. I haven't seen him all afternoon.
That's weird. He hasn't been in the company either. Where would he have gone?
I don't know either.
Alright, don't think too much about it. I think he's probably fine.
Then, I'll get back to work. I'll talk to you when I return home.
Bye-bye.
And you said there was nothing between the two of you. Are you going about it secretly?
We didn't do anything secretly, don't make things up.
Wu Yi An, my boss is the best of the best, handsome and manly.
To think you rejected him. Did I hear incorrectly?
- I -- - Don't say anything else.
I've known boss for so long and I've never heard him mention liking a girl.
Never mind confessing.
Who knew that my boss' love life would be so rough.
Love hasn't even started and it's already over.
No wonder he's disappeared this afternoon.
He must be very upset right now. Very upset. The kind of upset that's very upset.
Hiding in the corner, crying silently...
The instructor should be okay, right?
How pitiful is my boss!
It's about time, I'm getting off work first.
Hey! Hey! You didn't tell me why you rejected him!
Wu Yi An!
[Galette Renoir]
Careful.
- Look. - You've completed the puzzle!
How awesome! Thank you, Big Brother Yang!
Yi Xin, from what I see, this puzzle seems to be specially made.
Why did you pick this picture to make into a puzzle?
Are there any special meanings to it?
Big Brother Yang, do you feel any sense of familiarity towards this picture?
Does this puzzle have any relation to me?
Do you remember when I confessed to you and said,
there's a puzzle that I really liked and treasured, and tried to put together for a long time?
This is the picture of when I first started to like that puzzle.
Seven years ago, a little girl was drowning in a river.
There was a brave prince who saved her.
From that day on, that person's smile was the best thing in that little girl's life.
She has kept that secret for 7 years in her heart.
So...
7 years ago, by the river, was our first meeting.
This photo is the original picture behind the sketch.
♬ How come it doesn't hurt when my heart breaks? ♬
♬ How come I'm not happy when I smile? ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
This photo is the original picture behind the sketch.
Thank you.
Be careful next time, ok?
So, you were the little girl from back then?
You were the one who saved me! And also the first person I liked.
♬ ...and forgotten the original passion ♬
♬ I once held his hand, guarding it without hesitation ♬
♬ And then, my eyes began to sink... ♬
Yi Xin.
Big Brother Yang, this is the first puzzle we completed together
and it's when I first started liking you.
I want to give it to you and I hope you'll accept it.
♬ What should I do? My heart has no answer ♬
Yi Xin, are you really sure you like me?
Yes, I really like you!
I've liked you for seven years. I never liked anyone else.
Then could this "like" just be a projection of your thankfulness towards me?
It might not really be love. You might not have figured out the difference between the two feelings yet.
That's not it!
Every day, I want to see you.
If I don't see you, I'll really miss you.
When I see you happy, I'll feel happy.
If you're not happy, I'm not happy.
This is liking you. There's nothing to figure out.
Yi Xin, you're still young and you haven't dated anyone before.
Sometimes, fantasies can make many things seem better and become misleading.
After a couple years, when you know more people and meet an even better person, maybe your way of thinking will change
and you'll realize what kind of love you really want.
I won't wait that long. I'm sure already.
Yi Xin, I can't accept this puzzle.
Take it back.
♬ The grey sky makes me feel like there's no hope ♬
♬ In this night, there's still hesitation and loneliness in my heart ♬
♬ Your gentleness has always remained in my heart ♬
♬ How much I am hurt is because of how deeply I loved you ♬
♬ Your shadows aren't left in my memories ♬
♬ But I feel like hugging you once again ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
- Yi Xin. ♬ Love♬
I really like you.
- Even though I've never dated, that doesn't mean I don't understand.♬ Love, I miss you so much, the things that have happened between us♬
You can reject me,
but you can't deny my feelings towards you.
♬ The vast sky was full of our dreams ♬
♬ Who is your bright smile directed to now? ♬
Okay, I understand.
But it's late. Go home and rest earlier.
♬ Are you still loving? Are you still smiling? ♬
♬ I carved out your shadow in my memories ♬
♬ I want to catch you like crazy ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
You're back?
What's wrong?
What happened?
I'm angry at myself.
Why are you angry at yourself?
I was rejected again today.
I'm so disappointed right now.
I'm very cold.
How could that be? Did you say Big Brother Yang was willing to believe you?
And that you two are closer now?
Today, I told him about the incident from 7 years ago.
I thought it would be a surprise,
but he returned the puzzle back to me.
He said it's thankfulness, not love.
Why did I have to tell him so much, if I'd known it would be like this; I wouldn't have said anything.
Alright, don't be angry anymore.
Actually, I can understand Big Brother Yang's concerns.
After all, many people will have that kind of false impression.
I wouldn't!
Love is love. There are no grey areas.
I won't mix them up.
I know. But Big Brother Yang is still a lot older than you.
He won't be like you, so straightforward and brave enough to accept love.
What do I do?
It wasn't easy to open the door in Big Brother Yang's heart.
Now, it seems like I've closed it back up again. I don't want us to grow apart.
Love is complicated.
Also, you and Big Brother Yang are 18 years apart.
Of course, there would be even more difficulties.
Sister, I'm starting to empathize with Instructor.
Why would you bring him up?
Because Instructor and I are both waiting for love.
We both stupidly wait for our loved one to turn around and look at us,
and for the chance for them to say 'yes'.
What are you talking about?
Sister, you should accept the Instructor.
Grant him a future with a 'yes'.
What nonsense are you speaking about?
If you accept, then I will feel like love is very optimistic, bright, and beautiful.
Then, I can cure my cold heart.
I've already rejected Instructor.
What? You've rejected him again?
Then, is the Instructor okay? Did he suffer a deep blow?
He just smiled a little and said he understood.
Then, he disappeared the whole afternoon.
The Instructor is just pretending to be okay. He must be very upset, that's why he's hidden himself away.
How come even you're saying that...
Something like this is predictable.
Instructor, I get you.
You two, come out and have a snack.
Coming.
Come on.
Let's go.
Here.
Daddy, how are you so considerate?
You knew I was hungry so you prepared supper for me!
If I don't feed you till you're full, I'm afraid someone will get hungry in the middle of the night
and sneak into the refrigerator to steal food.
Daddy, did you make mom fall in love with you at first sight back then by being this considerate?
Wrong. I was the one who fell for her at first sight.
I had to go through thick and thin wooing your mother,
and finally in the end I succeeded.
So back then, Dad, you were the one who took the initiative.
Of course.
A woman has to be wooed by a man to be valuable.
How nice. Everyone is being wooed by someone,
but no one's wooing me.
This "everyone" you speak of... does it include your sister?
Huh?
What are you doing? Winking and making signs...
I heard everything that the two of you were talking about just now in your room.
- You heard everything? - What did you hear?
The Instructor...
Does he like you?
You only heard that?
If not, then what else?
Oh, oh, oh... Then, Daddy,
do you think that the Instructor has the right to like your big sweetheart from your past life?
Big sweetheart? What big sweetheart?
Sis is your big sweetheart, I'm your little sweetheart.
Why are you asking Dad about this?
Daddy already knows, so I'm taking an opinion poll. Daddy, do you think it's okay?
This... Instructor...
Strictly speaking, he's very calm, and also very honest.
He's not bad.
However, in terms of feelings, regardless of whether you accept or reject, like or not, I think... you still have to make the decision on your own.
I've... already rejected the Instructor.
I'm just afraid that rejecting like this might have hurt him.
With rejection, you can't really avoid "hurt."
However, it's like this. When talking about feelings and relationships,
if you're not planning on accepting, then making it clear sooner than later... I think it's better that way.
if you're not planning on accepting, then making it clear sooner than later... I think it's better that way,
in order to avoid unpleasant things later on.
Dad supports you.
Thanks, Dad.
Dad, don't just care about Sister,
you should care about me, too.
Missy, everyday, you're happy and worry-free,
what do you need me to care for?
You should care about my love fortune and life fortune.
Was I just born with a weak fortune for love? Do I not have any marriage fortune? Am I not going to be able to get married?
Wu Yi Xin! Please,
how could I have raised such a worthless little child?
Rushing to get married everyday, how old are you?!
Can't you stay at home more and keep your dad company?
Dad, don't you know that distance is what makes things beautiful?
If you continue to keep me here at home, what will happen if I end up becoming a grudge?
Nonsense!
Eat your food! Finish eating and go to sleep.
Fine, I'll give you a cookie. Eat.
Won't even help me look at my love fortune...
This is organic.
- This is really good. - It's good for your body. That's right.
After you finish drinking, rest early.
Delicious.
Big Brother, Yu Chen from your shop is here looking for you.
Come in.
You're here?
I have something I want to say to you.
Come in.
Here.
What is it?
Zhen Wei, have you... fallen in love with Wu Yi Xin?
♬ How come it doesn't hurt when my heart breaks? ♬
♬ How come I'm not happy when I smile? ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
Zhen Wei, have you... fallen in love with Wu Yi Xin?
She doesn't suit you.
She's still too young, so her heart hasn't settled at all.
Besides, she can't even take care of herself. How will she take care of you?
- Yu Chen— - Zhen Wei, what you need is someone who can give you happiness,
not someone who will create a burden for you.
I believe that this isn't just my hope,
but also my sister's.
Okay. I understand. You don't need to say any more.
You are my sister's most important person, and also the person she loves the most.
I really don't want to see you get hurt anymore.
I... don't want to see you sigh or frown anymore.
I want to see you be happy.
I hope that you can continue to smile happily.
Just like you are in this picture.
Okay, I understand.
Don't worry about me.
I promise you, I will definitely live my life happily. Okay?
That's weird. Why don't I see the Instructor anywhere?
Instructor!
Assistant Instructor, have you seen the Instructor?
I have a medicine request form that needs his confirmation,
but I can't find him anywhere.
He didn't come today.
Is it... because there are no classes?
It shouldn't be. Usually, even if there are no classes, he'll still come in to take a look.
Today is really unusual.
Boss never did this before.
It's okay.
Maybe something just came up last-minute, don't think too much about it.
Besides, Boss is very strong.
- Hey, let's stop here. I'm going to go deliver documents now. Bye. - Bye.
Could it be because of me?
Should I go find the Instructor?
But will that make him misunderstand?
[Wolf from the Mountains: Our boss is lovelorn. He was rejected by the person he loves.]
[Seriously? Then did you pat him on the back and comfort him?]
[Wolf from the Mountains: Perhaps, only if I devote my body and soul to him, will I be able to comfort his suffering heart.]
[Tch. It's only called "devoting your all" if you're pretty.]
[Yours is called "biting the hand that feeds you."]
[Please, can you not hurt your Boss more than he already is?]
Mei Yu, what are you doing?
I'm not doing anything.
Don't keep playing with your phone during work hours.
It's almost time for the meeting. In a minute, go ask the sales manager and financial manager to come over.
Yes, sir.
Is this the sales department? This is Mei Yu.
May I ask if the materials for the meeting are ready?
The sales for this season's new ceramic tiles seem to show quite a bit of growth compared to this season last year.
However, there are more styles with below average sales than I had expected.
Can the sales department come up with a plan to improve that and turn it in to me before tomorrow? Any problems with that?
No problems.
Mr. CEO, here is the profit and loss statement for this season.
Please look over it.
Secretary Yao,
give me the laptop.
Is there something wrong, Mr. CEO?
Sit down.
Secretary Yao suffered a work injury on her wrist due to the training camp.
I'm just helping her do the meeting minutes this one time in consideration for my employees.
Don't misunderstand. Continue.
Okay, then next, I will continue my report.
We can see that the profit and loss for this season,
compared to the previous season last year, it has indeed shown a different growth pattern.
So...
Instructor?
Instructor.
Instructor, don't stand in the rain. Come in and take shelter from it, don't—
It's okay. I want to keep calm to say something to you.
- Whatever you have to say, come in first and then say it, don't— - Don't come closer.
Or else... I'm afraid that I might not be able to suppress my feelings for you.
So, let's just keep this distance.
Wu Yi An,
I have something I want to ask you.
When did it start?
Was it the first day of class, because you were late,
when I insisted on revoking your student eligibility,
was that when you started hating me?
I'm really sorry.
I will reflect properly, and won't make this mistake ever again.
As someone who couldn't even meet the most basic requirement of being on time, please leave.
Or... was it when I forced you to face your fears, forced you to hold your breath,
forced you to take care of that spider... is that when you started hating me?
Running away will only mean being defeated by your fears. You have to force yourself to face it in order to overcome it.
Or... was it when I ignored how you might have felt
and forcefully gave you air underwater. Is that when you started hating me?
No, I—
If those weren't it, then it was when you came in to work on your first day, I intentionally yelled at you
and forced you to say the truth. That's when you started hating me?
Or... when I said that I wouldn't possibly fall in love with you.
That's when you started hating me?
Instructor...
Was it when we were on the mountain?
When I was drunk and laying in your lap, that you started hating me?
Or when I mistakenly thought that you liked me
and took the liberty to arrange that candlelit dinner, is when you started hating me?
Or was it, even though you had already rejected me,
I still insisted on being given a chance to wait for you.
Is that when you started hating me?
When exactly did it start?
Can you tell me?
Instructor, I don't hate you. I—
I know.
In your heart, I'm just a red light that's stopping you from moving forward, right?
What should I do, Wu Yi An?
To me, the feeling of me liking you can no longer be stopped.
So... I will continue to like you.
However, I will also try my best not to give you pressure.
Can I... take a walk around your house?
Why does it look so much like that sunflower puzzle from before?
Why is it in a jar?
