[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 17]
You're usually smart, but when it comes to Nan Qiao your IQ flies out the window.
"I like you" isn't supposed to be said as a battlecry!
It's for two people to confess their mutual feelings!
You're the only person in this world who believes that!
When it comes to games of love, liking someone isn't the hardest part.
It's the method you use to like them.
You think you're okay just standing on the sidelines...
but you're just deceiving yourself.
You're not stupid after all.
I've been looking for him all day. I can't get in touch with him at all.
He hasn't abandoned us in the wake of his having gone viral, has he?
If that's the case, what are you going to do?
What am I afraid of? I have you here.
He can run from the monk but not the temple.
Boss. Boss. Boss! Are you on the phone?
No.
I'm tired from sitting all day. Massaging like this feels good.
Your gaze is dazed, your speech incoherent.
Boss, is something going on?
Everyone eats and everyone gets sick.
Who hasn't had an off day and not felt like doing anything?
According to my observational skills and super sensitive sixth sense...
I think Boss is heartbroken.
She's not even into any...
Wait, why do you say that?
Her focus is off today and she's rambling incoherently.
Completely unlike her usual self.
Qiao, have you ever thought that
the right person could be right in front of you?
But you're too familiar, so it's easy to overlook them.
Instead of reaching elsewhere...
maybe you should appreciate what's in front of you.
In front of me? You?
Did he say where he was going when he dropped off the dogs?
He dropped them off suddenly two days ago and asked me to watch them a few days.
He didn't tell you anything?
I know even less than you do.
A man and woman in a glass castle...
You should've just gone ahead and kneeled!
Okay fine, you didn't prepare a ring, but why a bullet casing of all things?
I want to use another method to stay by her side.
You... You're asking me to help you?
Yes.
You've given up on your views on love?
Yes.
I don't want you as my disciple.
Why not?
Giving you advice and taking you on as a disciple are two different things.
You're so stupid and slow, you'll just cause trouble for me.
Where's your wristband? I've never seen you without it.
Someone stole it.
Why aren't you contacting Shi Yue if you're thinking about him?
It's the same concept as not being able to wake up a person who's faking sleep.
You're worried and anxious. Like you've got something to lose.
Qiao, have you ever thought that
the right person could be right in front of you?
But you're too familiar, so it's easy to overlook them.
Instead of reaching elsewhere...
maybe you should appreciate what's right in front of you.
In front of me? You?
It's as they say.
"Sisters are permanent as hands and feet, while men are ephemeral as clothing."
I agree with this saying.
I'll leave you to this.
You're leaving when Boss hasn't left the office yet?
Doesn't your conscience feel guilty?
Wendy is my role model. She left. If she's okay with it, so am I.
- Delivery. Who is Xiao An? - That's me!
This place has been popular lately. Enjoy.
Thanks!
Weren't you in a hurry to go off on a date?
What's with the food delivery?
At least I'm not working overtime hungry and single.
What is it?
You have no idea, this dessert place is super hot.
There's always crazy lines.
The delivery boy probably thought I was cute so I got this in half an hour.
"Working overtime is tiring! Please send the hottest delivery boy you have!"
"Be sure to be fast! Puffs aren't good when they turn soft!"
"Kisses!" What are you, going through puberty?
- What's your problem? - I'll eat it. You can diet.
- Give it back! - No!
- Give it back to me! - Forget it!
[To Shi Yue: Please respond ASAP.]
[Choose emoji.]
[Message sent successfully.]
- What's happening? - I've tested the waters with Nan Qiao.
What she feels for Shi Yue is just positive emotions at most.
So since he's decided to disappear, this is the perfect opportunity for us.
Why would Shi Yue randomly decide to disappear?
Focus on the point!
We have to turn the battle around before he comes back.
But why does the battle have to be brought to my house?
This is your home turf!
There are no distractions, and it's filled with childhood memories.
It's basically made for you and her!
Can you find a place that's better than here?
What is all this stuff?
Secret weapons.
I picked these all out especially for you.
Remember to pay me back after you succeed. I saved the receipts.
You're so obsessed with money.
Bluetooth earphones, so you'll be able to hear my directions.
A camera, so I can observe Nan Qiao's reactions.
Every tiny little twitch of her face. My eyes won't miss a single thing.
What about these binoculars?
It goes with my battle commander style.
It's not open.
- Why can't I see anything still? - All right, all right.
This is my tool!
Okay!
I prepared a secret weapon too.
Come with me.
Cooking is the most reliable and easiest way to get the girls.
It looks like you really aren't that stupid.
Xiao Qiao always wants to eat her sister's cooking
but she doesn't dare return home.
So this weekend, I want to get them both to come over
so Xiao Qiao can eat her sister's food and so they can meet each other.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
When you're attempting a relationship, you can't drag in elder family members.
- Why not? - It's a mood killer.
What should I do then?
Invite Xiao Qiao over this weekend and cook for her.
Show off your max boyfriend potential.
Treat her like a princess from the very start of the meal.
Give her all of your attention.
And then you can go over old photos and relive your childhood years.
Actually never mind.
It's not really nice to reminisce about a childhood spent being bullied.
Romance movies are the best tool for putting people in the mood.
You stare into each others' eyes...
light some candles... and 90 percent of the mood is set.
What about the remaining 10 percent?
Remember. When she's here, make sure to clean all your pots.
The cleanliness of your kitchen represents the strength of your love.
This all sounds so manipulative though.
I feel like this battle is a little unjust.
You don't question a hero's upbringing or the journey that leads to success.
Remember this. In love, there's no such thing as a fair battle.
This is the second rule of dating.
- Will you bully Xiao Qiao? - No.
- Will you betray the company? - No.
- Are we on the same team? - Yes we are.
Commander.
[Jiangzhou]
An Ning, you can head in.
An Ning.
Your earring.
Don't worry.
30 minutes.
If you're not out, I'm going in.
- An Ning. - Call me Madam.
- Boss isn't here. - No, he isn't.
But I am.
I'm afraid he's never coming back.
He finally managed to leave the country. If he comes back, he's a dead man.
We should be conducting a business transaction.
He never sells his businesses.
It's both a rule and a principle.
It's not right to be so greedy.
If a peaceful transaction were to end badly because of that...
It wouldn't be worth it.
Why would this be a discussion on transactions?
Everyone sitting here has been with Boss for many years.
This should be a discussion on reason.
Then why don't we discuss reason?
I want my dad's money. That's reasonable, isn't it?
No.
Listen to her.
My dad's little mistress says that his own daughter is unreasonable!
Who do you think you are?
You've got no status. You're just a random woman they call "Madam."
She has the key to my dad's safe and controls all of his company's shares.
How is that reasonable?
- It is. - Why don't you tell me how?
I've been with your father for 11 years.
That's devotion.
I could have run away with him.
But I chose to stay to watch over his business.
That is also devotion.
Listen to me.
One day, your father is going to return.
That is devotion.
He left the company a long time ago.
If he doesn't show up in three days, he will be removed from his position.
You think my dad really loves you?
Why wouldn't he take you with him then?
Why would he choose someone who's never been part of the business to stay behind?
Why?
Madam, Boss told me to come get you.
A woman like you deserves to exit with grace.
Time isn't up yet.
It is according to my own clock.
If you've got troubles, just come here. No one will find you.
There isn't even any reception out here.
Only one fish today?
It's good.
I love drinking your soup...
enjoying the sea breeze, and thinking of things I don't usually think about.
Drink up then.
Delicious.
Thanks.
Stop the car!
We're almost there. Don't vomit! Don't vomit!
Which way?
Hold on.
I don't live on the 29th floor. I live on the 26th floor.
That was fast.
I'm so dizzy!
Okay, let's sit down first.
Stop moving!
I'm so dizzy...
Lending to me is risk-free.
Risk-free...
You have no car and no home. Your company has no real property.
What do you intend to use as collateral?
How about this? Use yourself as collateral.
Can I?
- Does it hurt? - A little.
We're different people.
Some people have dreams.
I'm actually not as impressive as people think.
You're very steadfast.
I just don't want to disappoint all the people who have been supporting me.
Don't panic.
If you can't do it, I want you to forget the plan.
Don't act strong. Call me immediately, got it?
"Kissy, kissy!"
"I like you so much! Kissy, kissy!"
The whole thing.
"I like you so much! Kissy, kissy!"
You're afraid of the dark, aren't you?
Not at all. I'm just afraid you're afraid.
Why don't I teach you a method?
Actually, you can...
choose to shut your eyes first.
Because then, you've voluntarily chosen the darkness.
Try it later.
How do you usually sleep then? With your eyes open?
With the bedside lamp on.
Then just imagine for tonight...
that I'm your bedside lamp.
What's that? I've never seen it before.
Someone very important to me gave it to me.
This is what you came here to think about? Why?
There's a woman I think I'm not good enough for.
In the beginning, I got close to her for nefarious reasons.
But in the end, I really fell for her.
So tell me...
As this story progresses...
Should I turn around and leave, or should I keep stumbling on?
Ah Gu, have you been listening to me?
Stumbling on what?
Did you hear a single thing I said?
I just heard something about stumbling on.
Never mind, forget it.
You're my favorite.
This is awesome.
Your dad said you were sick. He told me to come...
What the hell?
- What's going on? - My dad decided to stir up trouble!
There's no time as the present. Get her today, right here, right now!
How?
Forget our plans. Just improvise!
Now you look more like someone who has a fever. Good luck!
Chang Jian Xiong!
Has your fever driven you mad?
Has the fever made you lose it? Locking me out like that.
I didn't think you'd come!
What did you bring? It smells good.
Really? You must really be sick if you think cold medicine smells good.
Eat it.
Have some breakfast first.
Your dad says if you're sick, you should let out some blood.
That way you'll get better faster. Go get me some alcohol.
- He's brutal... - What did you say?
Nothing. Don't listen to him!
Bloodletting is so sketchy. I'll just take the medicine.
Eat breakfast first.
Xiao Qiao.
There's something I've been wanting to say.
It's just that I think...
Well...
Um, I think...
Wendy!
Have you just arrived, or are you on your way out?
Xiao Qiao, it's not what you think.
This is exactly how things are.
What's wrong with admitting it?
I came to do work. He's working while he's sick.
What is there to hide from Xiao Qiao?
Since we're all here, why don't we have tea?
In the garden.
Longjing or Pu'er?
Or the stuff you girls like, rose tea? Jasmine tea?
- Nice going... - Look at these photos. I'm leaving.
Get me a bottle of baijiu so I can drink myself to death.
- What are these? - His things, probably. It's so messy.
I haven't looked through this album in so long.
You've known each other since childhood.
You two are a pretty good match.
You didn't come here for work, did you?
Even if not... it was still for a job of sorts.
Look at him.
Simple, straightforward. He does what he thinks. Predictable.
Shi Yue on the other hand, he has money and he's smart...
but you two aren't on the same level.
He's always be leading you by the nose.
If you like Chang Jian Xiong so much, you take him.
What I enjoy is the chase.
If you take it too seriously, you won't be able to stay friends.
If you don't take it seriously, it's not fun.
Besides, his heart isn't with me.
I'll leave him to you to slowly consider.
Why is there a photo like this here?
A photo within a photo!
This was my best friend from the Sky Blades team.
We were going the border together...
but something happened and he didn't become a soldier
so I ended up going alone.
Thus, I kept this photo on me.
I guess I was trying to fulfill his wish for him.
Why didn't he go? Did he become a deserter?
Fate messed around, you could say.
And I owed him.
Shi Yue, Shi Yue! Come here!
What's up?
Why does it keep beeping? Is it broken?
It's fine.
Hammer! Hammer! Here!
Hao Jie, what the hell? Those are for people!
Isn't there an animal on the package? I thought it was dog treats.
If that's your logic, why don't I find you a bear to feed
since there's a bear on it?
Come here.
- Dog treats? Geez... - Are you under a lot of stress lately?
You should find a man to depend on.
Do you have any idea how much my utilities cost?
I'd have to calculate...
Can I support you and all of these dogs with my income?
My rent is 60,300 yuan per month. Utilities are 6,000-7,000 yuan.
This place is 100 square meters and can give 18 dogs consecutive showers.
So?
My rent is so high and my utilities are just as bad.
Is it appropriate for you to lounge here and use my dogs' resources?
Man can live in harmony with nature. So what's wrong with me staying here?
Hao Jie, where did Shi Yue go?
It's his legs, how would I know?
His wristband sent out an emergency alarm. Has something happened to him?
Don't tell me something happened to him at sea!
I thought you didn't know where he went!
[To Nan Qiao: I'm fine.]
[I'm fine.]
He says he's fine.
Why did you freak out?
If something happened to you, I wouldn't be so calm either.
Who are you hexing?
Come back with me.
I don't want to have to say, "Come back alive" to you every time.
When Dad was alive, he'd say something else too.
"Don't turn back."
Don't turn back...
If you see that up ahead there's nothing but fog...
and that if you keep going you'll run into a storm, would you still keep going?
How are you so sure there are no storms if you turn back?
It's the same.
Except you wouldn't be able to go where you want to go.
You're right.
March boldly forward.
As long as you keep your eye on the lighthouse...
even heading into a storm is nothing to be afraid of.
After the storm, there will be a rainbow.
So, do you have a lighthouse?
Not before, but now I do.
Anything I can help you with?
- Bring in the nets. - All right, let's go.
Any news from Shi Yue?
You have news.
- What are you doing now? - Take this.
Hurry and bring them in!
Flowers. Like them?
Like them?
You can't go into the clinic!
That's the shower room!
Such a grand gesture?
This is page one in my book of how to get a girl to fall for you.
A bit of scheming in order to set the scene up for a confession.
Look at these flowers. She'll see them every single day.
And she'll think of me, surrounding her all day every day.
Look, an everlasting flower. Like our love... everlasting.
I don't see any trace of love in the air.
- There's plenty! - Hao Jie.
This is a pet store, not a botanical garden.
I've got animals, flowers...
All I need is you dressed as a clown and I can sell entrance tickets.
There's still a gift.
Hold on.
- Can you move a little? - Why should I?
Don't you have a date with Shi Yue?
He's back? When?
[Target: Shi Yue. Distance: 20 kilometers.]
Sure. I'm going into the office for a meeting.
Let's continue looking at your gifts.
- What's that supposed to be? - Something you'll enjoy.
So basically you mean I'm violent?
Hitting me is your favorite thing to do!
Watch it.
You hit me, but it's your hand that hurts.
In the future, just hit me with these gloves.
Hit me to your heart's content. I'll be your punching bag!
You must be really thick-skinned to give a girl such a cheap gift.
I don't want it.
I knew you'd say that. Take a look.
I glued those jewels on myself.
If I hit you, they'll fall off. You're trying to prevent me from hitting you.
You get it. It looks like we're a match made in heaven.
- Double-check what I just said. - Okay.
How long has he been here? He's talked to everyone. Now he's in you're office.
- This kid... - As stubborn as the rest of your family.
- Boss, President Wen. - Go on, I'll deal with him.
What is the meaning of this?
You've been coming here for a week. Your mother is going to kill you.
Has my male idol really just disappeared into thin air?
You have to give me something.
I know as much as you do about him.
His name is Shi Yue, he's a man, and he lives in my neighborhood.
It's your fault for keeping your phone off and not using it properly.
He became your company's investor and moved in right next to you
just to be able to see you. What else do you want him to do?
Stalk you like a lunatic?
That's what he was doing?
Aunt... sometimes I really want to look inside your brain.
You can't even figure something as simple as this out?
I guess that's fine. Since you two are on different wavelengths...
then just give him to me.
He's yours, hurry and take him. He's back, go on and find him.
- When did he come back? - No clue.
I've already told you what you want, now go on.
All the more reason for me to not leave you.
What's the point of keeping an eye on me? Is Shi Yue on my face?
If I can't see my male idol, I have to stay with his girlfriend.
It's my only chance to be able to see him.
Then you should at least curry favor with me first.
You make jokes now?
- Kui, Qin, Xiao An, meeting. Grab Wendy. - Got it.
Why are you joining our meeting? Go on, find yourself something to do.
I...
VR tech is everywhere now. Do we have to be so secretive?
The key to whether this idea works or not
depends on whether the visualization technology works with our drones.
It's not as simple as making a virtual prototype.
Boss, Kui and I have been going through all the VR tech companies.
America's VIVE company is the most well-matched for our drones.
Customers can enjoy an authentic experience
without suffering from motion sickness.
I looked over the data you gave me.
VIVE truly is the best option for us right now.
I know. By "best," you mean "only." Don't worry, I'm on it.
I'm part of the secret team this time!
It feels like we're about to do something big!
Only if we actually achieve it. Otherwise it's just a huge failure.
All right, let's get back to work. That's pretty much all I had to say.
Hey, Boss...
I might not have that much time.
Why?
I'm going to be dating.
Here, come here.
This.
[Let's Start Dating!]
I know this show!
Every couple on this show has become a celebrity!
- Yeah! - That hot guy Lu Zhou was on it.
You're planning to go on this show to find a girlfriend?
- That's right. - Go ahead, but don't let it affect work.
- Come here. - How about this...
Tell me which girl you choose.
I'll print out her picture and place it in your cubicle.
- For what reason? - Your imaginary girlfriend.
It suits you.
Hey, you guys...
Hello. Do you like sweet fried pork?
[Love Profile Questionnaire]
Bro, you're joining a variety show?
You have no faith in me either?
I do, of course I do. Who else could do it?
What do you think viewers of these dating variety shows are into?
You think it's about watching young people go on dates?
Nope.
Aside from the hot guys and girls, they want to witness freaks at work.
- You've definitely got what it takes. - I think so too.
- It's definitely your thing. - Shut up.
- Hold on, let me see. - What are you doing?
These questionnaires take skill. You have to stand out among the crowd.
How do these things take skill?
Someone comes up with all these questions.
You have to give them the answers they're looking for.
Isn't that lying?
How so? You're just embellishing yourself.
That is what lying is.
Then you tell me. If you like someone, what should you do?
- Tell them. - Wrong.
If they reject you, then it's over.
What would you do then?
From my observations, you're a Gemini with ADHD.
One bit of carelessness and you'll reveal your instability.
So you have to package yourself to give the impression that you're harmless.
Then is the person he likes still me?
Just think of it as putting on makeup when you go out.
It's like an outfit, a courtesy, an attitude.
Okay, here's a question.
How many relationships have you been in?
Probably one.
- What does "probably" mean? - What does "relationship" mean?
- Did you hold hands? - No.
- Did you embrace? - No.
- Don't tell me you just kissed them. - No.
Then it's likely you've never been in a relationship before.
- You have to take initiative this time. - You...
- Has a girl ever confessed to you? - Of course.
How did she say it to you?
She said to me, "You're actually a good person."
I see...
What are you getting at? Should she have said I was a bad person?
All right, let's move on.
Why do you want to participate in this show?
Because when I'm alone, I can't order that much food.
I want to find a long-term partner so we can order lots of food in the future.
You win. Here, you do this.
- I can't compete with you. - I told you you couldn't handle this.
Wait... you have to upload a profile photo too?
