[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 22]
Whoever dares show Shi Yue disrespect, I will make them pay ten times over.
Just now, VIVE finally agree to work with us!
And they're the ones who came to us.
That's fantastic!
I've put so much effort into cultivating this person.
How could I let someone else take them just like that?
It's more devastating to have something you've already gotten
taken away from you.
Then I won't have let Shi Yue play around for nothing.
What about you?
What about me?
Do you also like having me here?
I'm not good at saying no to people.
What are you good at then?
I'm good at
neutering dogs and sewing people's mouths shut.
I'm living every day like the prey of a shark!
Marry you?
- I don't want to die before my time. - This is called tough love, understand?
Move it!
The website's purchase price is ten, but they want twenty.
Money isn't an issue.
Time is what's important.
I forgot.
Money is the least of your worries.
You want to make Future Up succeed for Nan Qiao.
Naturally, I have to strengthen Wings for you.
Fine. Let me put is this way then.
Let's say the first time you met her, in the garage...
That was lust.
But moving, investing, shareholding...
That's evidence of your shift towards love.
So my conclusion--
My conclusion...
is that if you fail to reach quota again, you can stop coming here
and you can stop going to work.
We have our people in the audience.
Shi Yue put a lot of effort into helping Future Up enter the film industry.
Chasing girls, you know...
Half of it is empty flattery and the other half is genuine action.
I've divorced.
When?
I drew the papers up before I came back.
You're the only person who I don't have to be Madam An around.
I'm really sorry that you once had to watch me leave.
Now I've returned.
You're still here, right?
Why was she here? Does she have something new planned?
She came to pick out a bottle of wine.
What wine? She had to come into the cellar in person?
What answer from my lips would satisfy you?
I'm just afraid of her making things difficult for you. You can't blame me.
An intimate space as this wine cellar...
really suits a roll in the hay.
Don't tell me, let me guess.
Is this how it goes?
A man and woman alone in a dark, cramped space...
you slowly step closer to her...
and kiss her earlobe.
And then she places her hand on your chest.
What a thrilling scenario!
It's not as melodramatic as you think.
She came to see if I would wait for her.
Why? She's married.
Don't tell me she wants to have a foot in each door.
- She's divorced. - What? Divorced?
She tells you now?
And she's not planning on leaving.
Well, that complicates things.
Falling for another woman in front of her is basically a provocation.
To her, she's the only one who's allowed to have you.
Other women have only one fate.
If what she wants is money, it's just competition between companies.
Without Wings, Future Up still has other opponents.
But she wants your love. That's a competition between her and Nan Qiao.
A competition between women.
You seem to understand them more than I do.
Do me a favor and tell me who you think would win then.
Listen to my analysis.
She used her first husband to get rich.
Then she used her second husband to establish herself legitimately.
She entered upper class society and became a rich matron.
When she desires more, it'll be her third husband's job.
If she can casually toy around with men, women are easily expendable to her too.
I'm tell...
Nan Qiao is someone that makes her both envious and jealous.
She'll only be even more insane.
Clothing are better new, people are better old.
You're the one who told me that.
I remember you also said to me, "Birds of a feather flock together."
That's why the two of us would end up together.
You really haven't changed in all the years you've been with me.
But this determination is what I like about you.
Don't lose it.
I used to be impetuous and caused a lot of problems.
Now I'm different. It's time to act seriously.
It's as you said.
People want to act seriously when they reach a certain age.
We want a more thrilling game.
You don't want to support me?
If it's what you want, I will definitely support you.
The website's purchase price is ten, but they're asking for twenty.
Money isn't an issue. Time is what's important.
I forgot.
Money is the least of your problems.
You want to help Future Up grow big for Nan Qiao.
Naturally, I have to strengthen Wings for you.
I'm divorced.
I came here to tell you as soon as he signed the papers.
When?
I had the papers drawn up before I came back.
Shi Yue...
You're the only person I don't need to be Madam An around.
I'm really sorry that you once had to watch me leave.
Now I've returned.
You're still here, right?
Shi Yue hasn't come yet.
Early morning run, meeting...
You messed up your whole routine just to see him.
- Has your store changed owners? - Why are you always talking about him?
He sends his three sons here every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
You want to see him and are afraid of missing him so you come here so early.
Please, it's insomnia.
Shi Yue must be the first guy to give you insomnia.
He must also be the first guy you voluntarily contact.
He must also be the first guy to make you feel desire.
Who knows? Maybe there will be a second one soon.
He's also the first guy to make you crack jokes.
Love is really capable of changing people.
Love... I'm not even sure if that's what's going on.
He disappeared again?
I haven't seen him since we finished filming the show.
He turned off his wristband too.
He says he has to preserve an air of mysteriousness.
Do you think it would be a bad idea if I went to find him?
It's all part of his scheme.
He's just trying to get you to think about him.
When you fall for it, he tightens the reigns.
I can't believe he has it in him to play these tricks.
What's the point of doing this?
Whoever confesses first hands over control to the other person.
Love is a longterm thing.
If you establish control first, the rest of the relationship will follow
your rhythm, your interests, and your desires.
And both of you will head towards the destination you want.
But don't two people who are together have the same destination in mind?
Some people just want to play and some people just want to stop.
Destinations are not to be trusted.
Geez, why don't I just go back to work and find my drone?
It's low-risk and can't run off.
It can't run but it can fly.
Still better than Shi Yue. He disappears like a rocket.
Some men are like meteors crashing into Earth. They just show up.
Annoying.
You really don't want to give Hao Jie a chance?
Him? Forget it.
I prefer being friends with normal people.
He doesn't want to just be your friend.
Fine then. We can stay enemies. I don't mind tormenting him more.
Get out.
- Get out! - I'm taking your dogs to shower for you.
Why are you being so demanding?
See? Even he knows to greet people. Why is his owner so rude?
- If you want to lecture me, do it. - What are you planning to do?
I want to be Shi Jun Qing again.
You've been with An Ning seven years. You can't go off on your own that easily.
So I need some time.
It's me.
It's been over half an hour! Where are the dogs? What's going on?
We're...
We'll ask a delivery man to drop the dogs off.
We'll be there in 30 minutes.
Do you people speak dog, or do your dogs speak people?
She says we're dogs.
Lao'er.
Combine two to make one, get it?
Then-- Boss, just in time.
Let's go over the emergency plan for tomorrow's drone performance.
Why an emergency plan?
It's how we always do things! We always need a plan B just in case.
I don't make backup plans.
Xiao An, go over tomorrow's agenda with Qin.
I don't want to.
- Why? - We've worked together too long.
It's boring.
What is this?
Have you also learned to play hard to get?
Listen to me. Don't waste your limited time on pointless schemes.
Boss... what's wrong?
Do I look like something is wrong?
Show me the footage from our first shoot.
Okay.
There's still issues, Qin.
It's a bit shaky, and the video isn't very clear.
Show me the promotional video.
Um...
This isn't good. Don't put irrelevant people into the video.
This needs to be cut out. It's pointless.
Did you hear? Cut it out.
Listen up, keep your feelings and work separate.
Weren't you just telling me how they were related?
- That depends on the person. - How?
- Use your brain! - Give me an example.
- Shi Yue is off limits. - Who isn't then?
Me--
Any of us stable people around here.
What kind of coded argument is going on here?
Never mind, Boss.
I'm just shallow like that!
You! Boss, I'm going to go lecture her. Stop! I taught you for nothing!
What's going on here?
I don't really understand what you're saying.
Xiao An admires Shi Yue, right?
- Calling Shi Yue. - No, don't.
Call canceled.
Why is Qin so mad though?
He likes Xiao An?
So he's mad that Xiao An admires Shi Yue.
- Shall I call Shi Yue again? - No, stop annoying me!
That's why you don't play hard to get. In the end you're just screwing yourself.
Qin is really...
Us tech people really are a beat behind everyone else...
Wasn't Xiao An always obsessed with Chang Jian Xiong?
When did she start liking Shi Yue?
- Calling Shi Yue. - I said it's not necessary!
- Causing trouble again? Power off! - Powering off.
You need me for something?
We've basically been to the top of every skyscraper in this city by now.
We've witnessed all the ups and downs of each other's lives.
- I feel like we're more than-- - Chang Jian Xiong.
I think of you as my soul friend. Do you know what a soul friend is?
We're very close and know a lot about each other.
But our hearts are very far from each other.
It's a friend you can say things to that you can't say to the person you like.
Things you can't say to the person you like but you can say to me...
That's not bad.
Except I can't take his spot in your heart.
Exactly.
Don't worry. I'll still support you and protect you like I always have.
And just like always, I'm the only one who's allowed to laugh at you
and I won't let anyone say anything bad about you.
So in your heart I'm just meant to be laughed at?
What I mean is you know how you get into all sorts of trouble with me...
You make us sound like a pair of rogues.
You know my brain stops working when it comes to this stuff!
Why is it so hard to get on your good side now?
Every day at work now, I always feel like I need to come get some air.
I can't seem to get my focus together.
Because you're basking in the afterglow of being in love.
- Is it that obvious? - You were never like this with Zhou Ran.
What do you think I should do then?
The Xiao Qiao that I know is really cool.
So her love should be just as cool.
She shouldn't be so obsessed with it like other people would be.
Who's obsessed?
I'd never be led around by someone else.
I'll fight for what I like.
And people.
It's easier for a girl chasing a guy. Good luck.
You talk a lot like Wendy these days.
A soul friend...
Basically, a friend you can vent to about anything
who will help you come up with crazy schemes
and be ready to lay down their life for you 24/7?
[To Shi Yue: Meet you at rock climbing in an hour.]
So from now, get ready to lay down your life 24/7.
Yes ma'am!
[Once again, let this city be filled with love!]
My aunt isn't really the kind of woman men like.
Straightforward and bold.
Clearcut women like that are my inspiration.
- Yeah. She's cool, isn't she? - Yup.
You want a flirtatious woman. What's the point of a cool, clearcut one?
Xiao An.
Do you have someone you like?
I have someone I'm interested in.
Do you have a plan for going after them yet?
I doubt he even knows who I am.
Xiao An, you don't have your game on.
Come on, get over here.
Tea, I'm making tea.
You washed your cup five times and scooped the tea three times.
And you boiled the water twice. You sure you're making tea?
Xiao An, say your crush is right in front of you. What would you do?
He's not it!
Imagine! Imagine Qin's face is his face!
That wouldn't work. He's too short.
So Qin, have you also never been in a relationship?
Me?
Listen to me, I'm full of experience!
When facing your crush...
you have to boldly tell them that you want to woo them.
Exactly, you have to speak up.
- Go ahead then! - Go ahead!
I'm going to say it.
- Where is she going? - No clue.
- What is she doing? - No clue.
Hello, Mr. Shi? I'm Xiao An. Nan Qiao's most unassuming assistant.
I wanted to tell you that I'm into you!
Hold up, you have the audacity to go after Boss's guy?
The rock climbing gym? I'll be right over.
That's not right. Shi Yue is my aunt's!
You...
Wait... you're really going?
Stop staring. Back to work!
Hold on, did I hear wrong? You asked Xiao An to the rock climbing gym?
What do you mean? Explain yourself.
Qin Shi Yu is the one she likes.
What does that have to do with you?
What does it have to do with you? You wouldn't get it even if I explained.
Didn't you say you weren't going to the gym?
Think carefully. You're definitely going to run into Nan Qiao there.
I already told you, the one I have a date with is Xiao An. Xiao An. Xiao An.
Sure... You're just finding an excuse to see Nan Qiao.
I can only look at her from afar until I deal with An Ning.
A glimpse is enough.
You should watch out.
People might mistake your protectiveness for a cliche "play hard to get" scheme.
A cliche scheme...
Mr. Shi... you really came?
It's good that you're here.
The more into it you are, the more mad it makes him.
I have things to say to your idol. Give us some personal space.
That's the way. Since you have someone you like, you should tell them.
What's Xiao An doing here?
She's making your road to Shi Yue more challenging.
You like your idol, right?
If he's mine, that means he's also yours.
I get it. I'll handle Xiao An.
Don't go!
Xiao An, I have something to tell you.
My mom always says that you have to fight for your own happiness.
Once you find the right person, you can't let someone else take them!
When we women are into a guy, we first give them a kick or two.
That way we can preserve some self confidence.
Xiao An, I originally intended to use some brains to handle you
but it looks like brute force will do just fine.
What is this?
This was how you treated me the first time we met.
I thought you had a bad memory. How do you remember something from so long ago?
I remember everything that has to do with you.
Our show was filmed by China's hottest drone company, Future Up.
Let's bet. Shi Yue will be here in 30 minutes.
- Aunt, here. - Mr. Shi, here.
Get over here!
You lost.
I don't want us to constantly have this distance between us.
- I like the feeling of newness. - Is that all this is?
When have we ever been together?
Who taught you this?
You did.
What I taught you... was that patience is a virtue. Take things slowly.
You taught me that no matter what I do, I should ponder over it, think about it.
I've thought about it, and today, I want to teach you
how to move on to stage three of a relationship.
What is stage three?
- Shi Yue, I... - These words are for the guy to say.
You still owe me a date. I want...
I want...
[Hao Jie]
- Yes? - Come back right away.
Did something happen?
I have some business to attend to.
Do you have any important moments in your life?
Sure I do.
That day I ran for my life in that parking garage.
Why?
Because I had a girl with me.
This girl somehow kept pace with me.
It was impressive.
I don't have to be the only one on top now.
Being without an opponent is the loneliest.
Shi Yue! Shi Yue, you're drunk!
Shi Yue, Shi Yue, Shi Yue!
You're drunk.
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 close your eyes first.
Because then it's as if you're voluntarily choosing the darkness.
Try it later.
How do you normally sleep? With your eyes open?
With the bedside lamp on.
Then just imagine for tonight...
that I'm your bedside lamp.
Why is my aunt so proactive today? Isn't she being too impatient?
She probably has this huge fire inside her that has her going crazy.
She'd kidnap the guy if she could.
She should have a cold drink and calm herself down.
Forget that. It'll just drive her even more crazy.
President Shi has business to deal with.
My aunt isn't you.
An independent woman wouldn't throw a tantrum over a man leaving.
What do you know?
According to research, as more time passes...
your brain releases less dopamine and then you fall out of love.
Where in the world do you get your research from?
From my book!
Basically, when two people see each other less
the passion between them starts to go away.
Are you here to cause trouble?
On the other hand, you and Shi Yue never see each other.
I don't see any hormones or dopamine at work there.
No, my point is, you can't treat a man so well.
He'd think too highly of himself.
Boss, you should keep brainstorming. Good luck!
I've never seen two love rivals working together before.
Xiao An, aren't you going after Shi Yue too?
I totally realize now.
Whomever falls in love first in a relationship loses.
One-sided longing never ends well.
Boss, want this? If not, I'm drinking it.
I'm the one who really needs to calm down right now.
We'll be partnering with the sports website
to premier a new drone product together.
They will be cooperating with us...
Have you heard of this company?
The best authority on VR technology in the United States.
They have a pending partnership with Future Up.
Hao Jie.
Wings has just purchased the extreme sports website.
An Ning plans to use our company's abilities
and high technology to make people fall in love with drone products.
I don't understand.
The vast majority of extreme sports are filmed using POV shots.
It's hard for the audience to really be part of the action.
Drone photography would be able to capture the action from multiple angles.
The addition of VR technology would help the audience
go from spectators to participants.
They would truly be part of the action.
Please leave us for a moment.
An Ning.
It doesn't seem like you trust me to run this company.
VIVE is Future Up's business partner.
If we meddle around right now...
You're essentially forcing me to jump ship.
You're angry?
I haven't made a profit and I haven't gotten revenge.
I'm not ready to stop yet.
You're right.
What else do you plan to do? Let's hear it.
You said previously that you'd support me unconditionally.
Why not this time?
Is there someone else?
What are you talking about?
You've been the only one from the beginning.
If so, why won't you give me any space?
I didn't say I wouldn't listen to you.
I just wanted to help you a little.
And here I thought you'd like the torment I'm giving Future Up.
Is forthright tormenting not better than underhanded tormenting?
Are you calling me underhanded?
I'm not much of a forthright person myself.
What a pair we make.
All right. We'll do whatever you want.
Let's go.
An Ning.
Bye!
You're good.
Congrats on successfully avoiding a business disaster.
Call off all the men watching Shi Yue.
Ning...
You can stay out of this. We have to give Shi Yue all our trust.
What do I say to VIVE?
On the surface, it appears as if I've given Wings to Shi Yue.
But I have yet to cut the leash in my hands.
Okay.
Xiao An, what's going on with you?
Go ask Qin.
I was wondering what brought you here today.
You're mad at Qin?
No, we're doing great.
He's a senior that has given me so much advice.
If you want to piss Qin off, Shi Yue isn't going to work.
- You need Chang Jian Xiong. - President Chang?
Chang Jian Xiong is Qin's idol.
You've skipped over him and gone straight to his idol.
That would drive him crazy.
Come on, Xiao An.
Drink this, gather your energy, and go chase after your love!
That makes sense.
I'm going to find President Chang right now.
What's up with her?
She switches crushes just like that?
Xiao An's crush has never changed.
But you...
