Second Time is a Charm
Episode 35
Yes. Come on. Xu Lang.
Kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss her.
You're so boring.
Yes. Don't play a game in this way.
Xu Lang,
whether you win or lose, you drink.
Then why do you still sit here?
Go back and sleep.
That's not sure.
I may kiss someone if the bottle turns to her.
This is obvious.
Who will turn the bottle next?
Let me turn it.
Kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss her.
Kiss her.
The game is boring.
So boring.
I think it's boring.
All of you chose to drink.
Let's all drink in the first round, OK?
You can also choose to drink.
Right? We all choose to drink.
Yes. I think it's good.
It's your turn.
I think the game
isn't actually interesting. Do you know?
But,
but I'd like to take it.
I have the nerve to play.
I'll show you then.
Come on, Yongjun.
I'm ready.
You don't have wine.
You don't have wine. Quickly.
Show to them.
Xiaowa, you must drink a lot.
I'll pour you some water.
I don't drink much.
Quickly. Quickly. Quickly.
Excuse me. I'll go to the bathroom.
No.
I want to pee.
Kiss me there then, right?
Yongjun.
This game is really...
I don't believe.
Come on, let me turn the bottle.
This game is really boring.
You don't
play it actively.
Come on.
There's a cramp in my hand.
Well.
OK.
Well, let me kiss you, OK?
Don't hide.
Let's, let's go to the bathroom, OK?
Since she said that,
I must go, right?
Then I'll go.
Qiu Tian.
Men's room or women's room?
Go back, An An.
It's windy outside. I'll take you back.
No.
I stayed in the room for a long time.
I don't want to go back.
I want to get some fresh air here.
Good.
I haven't seen you so relaxed in a long time.
What about you?
You're good in every aspect,
but force yourself so much.
You're like a robot.
I don't like it.
But I know
you have a warm heart,
a very warm heart.
Am I like a robot?
That's why we're further and further away from each other.
It doesn't matter.
We're so close now, right?
Be careful of the road.
With you,
I am not afraid even if I fall.
Be careful.
Xu Lang.
Let's restart,
OK?
Xu Lang.
You know I love you, right?
Sorry.
Yilin,
you used to be the girl I love most.
I was really lucky
to meet you at my best time.
At that time, in order to keep you,
I'd like to spend all my energy
and use all my luck.
But it turns out I wasn't so lucky.
You left me.
It's past.
We have such good memories.
But when you're standing in front of me,
looking at me, and saying my name now,
I am
full of pain, chagrin
and sadness.
You'll remind me that
there was
an awful time in my life.
You ask me whether we can be together.
My answer is no.
And there's no chance.
Every time I see you
and every time you appear,
I'll think of all the things which happened
that day when you left.
Every minute when I'm talking to you,
I feel painful,
you know?
Sorry.
You're not the one to apologize.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I'm the one who should be blamed.
Sorry.
OK, here we are.
Here we are.
Let me go. Don't do this.
I am supporting you. Don't move.
I am drinking.
Come on.
Quickly. Go. Go.
No. No.
I, I haven't finished drinking.
- Let me compete with them. - Tian,
forget it.
You have poor drinking capacity.
You think I have poor drinking capacity?
No. No.
You're best at drinking. You're best at drinking.
You think I have poor drinking capacity.
No. Go.
Yes. Sorry.
Go.
Where is this?
This is your room,
Qiu Tian.
Then what are you doing here?
This is room service time, OK?
I am the room service man.
I'll serve you.
So strange.
Stand up.
Let me lift the quilt.
Well.
Let me cover you with the quilt.
Well, take off your coat. Come on.
No, don't take off my coat.
What if you act indecently?
So vigilant.
Come on.
Lie down.
Let me wipe your face.
Is there a towel here?
Come on.
Let me wipe your face. Come on.
What's the matter?
I haven't replenished my skin with water.
Just wipe your face.
Come on. Quickly.
Quickly.
If I don't replenish my skin with water, my face will suffer.
Then do it.
You're the room service man.
I can't get up. Help me do it.
Simply replenish my skin
with water.
Go. Go.
I surrender.
Quickly.
Is this one?
Put that on the makeup cotton
and apply it to my face.
Just apply for a while.
OK. This one, OK?
How much do I pour?
Almost enough.
Even if you're so sleepy, you even don't forget skin care.
Don't worry. Your face won't suffer.
I'll replenish your skin with water now.
Finally I get a chance.
You've bullied me.
Assassin.
There is no assassin. There is no assassin.
I am protecting you.
I finished replenishing your skin with water
by using your favorite Wetherm.
Well, lie down and sleep.
Qiu Tian.
I thought I was happy,
so they were surely envious or jealous of me.
With poor drinking capacity, why did you drink so much?
Slowly.
I never doubted it.
Are you OK?
Yu,
do you know why Qiu Tian and I
are so fond of drinking?
Because it makes you happy.
Because we don't feel so lonely when drinking.
We have no siblings.
In such a big city,
it's happy to drink with a friend.
Even if I drink myself
in a bar or a sidewalk snack booth,
I feel so lively and warm
when hearing some people talking beside me.
An An,
I won't let you be so lonely.
Tell me, you've loved all the time.
I am also looking for her.
I become familiar with the coma when dropping to the bottom of a valley.
I come to myself in situ where my pain appears again and again.
Xu Lang.
You know I love you, right?
There're many similar reasons
for break-ups.
No matter how much patience you have,
you can't accommodate the helpless result.
You ask me whether we can be together.
My answer is no.
Every time I see you
I'll think of all the things
which happened that day when you left.
Every minute when I'm talking to you,
I feel painful,
you know?
Where did I lose myself?
Yilin.
It turns out that my pure care
is the most ridiculous stubbornness.
Every answer is not clear.
Where did I lose myself?
Tell me, you've loved all the time.
I am also looking for her.
I found
you didn't drink much.
Unlike me,
I can't get drunk
even if I've drunk much.
Yilin, you drink a lot.
Let me support you to go to bed.
You drink a lot.
This is the first time I've taken off a girl's shoes.
Are you men all good at
pleasing women now?
Yilin, you drink so much.
I'll leave.
No.
You drink so much. Sleep early.
What are you doing?
You...
Why, why are you here?
Why, indeed?
I... You drank much last night,
so I stayed to take care of you.
Then you shouldn't sleep in my bed.
I couldn't find my room card yesterday.
I couldn't sleep in the bathtub, right?
You, you couldn't find your room card.
I think you...
What?
What are you thinking?
Nothing.
No. Say it out.
What are you thinking?
I don't think that.
What? What?
I don't think that.
No. Say it out.
What? What? What?
You must think that.
Qiu Tian, are you shy?
Well, I don't kid you.
You don't know how annoying you were
when you drank much last night.
Whatever you do, I think you're so charming
that I couldn't help staying to take care of you.
Your desire to survive is quite strong.
Qiu Tian,
you know
you really look so pretty now.
Am I pretty after I took my make-up off?
Yes, so pretty.
Then let me see how pretty I am without make-up.
No.
Well.
I'm going for a run.
Then let's see
in the restaurant where we have breakfast later.
Why do you go for a run so early?
What do you want?
Do you want me to sleep with you for a bit longer?
What do you want?
Get out.
Why do you go for a run so early?
Lei Yuhao.
I have a headache.
Yilin, you woke up.
Were you born in 1992?
What's wrong?
In 1992,
I could solve equations,
but you weren't born yet.
Love is not about mathematics.
Come on.
Kid, you may misunderstand.
I've never been in love with you.
And I won't
fall in love with you later.
Yilin,
if you think I have any weaknesses,
I can correct them.
You're a nice man.
Now you need to
take care of yourself
and forget this matter completely.
Thank God.
OK?
I can't.
What?
I mean I can't.
Then what do you want?
I love you.
I want you to be with me.
But I don't love you.
Surely I know that.
Maybe I'm nothing in your heart,
but I'll try.
I'll let you fall in love with me and forget someone.
Give me some time, OK?
Forget it, kid.
You have much time,
but I have limited valuable time.
I need to
spend it on working
and chasing the man I love.
You can't let me forget someone
as that person
doesn't live in my heart.
He is
just my heart.
I'm going to take a shower.
When I get out,
I hope you're gone.
Tian.
You're still working on vacation.
There's something wrong
with the new product launch event of a game company.
They just called me anxiously.
Will you have to go back to work
before the vacation?
It's hard to say.
You work so hard.
Where is your good boyfriend?
Lei Yuhao?
He said at 6 a.m. he would do morning exercise
and go for a run.
Did you sleep together last night?
We, we just stayed together
as I drank so much.
We also stayed together at night before.
I didn't do anything.
Nothing happened.
I just ask you casually.
Don't get anxious.
A clumsy denial results in self-exposure.
I don't get anxious.
I just like to get anxious.
It's funny
and you're happy, right?
You enjoy yourself, right?
Tell me honestly...
What?
What did you and Yu Feifan do last night?
Yu Feifan?
Nothing.
Will you remarry?
Stop that.
The water is so hot.
Why do you deny it
this morning?
What a strange ex-wife.
Don't talk nonsense.
I can't understand.
Don't you remember
as you were really smashed?
What did I do?
Last night you and Yu Feifan...
What do you mean?
Morning, Brother An.
You come in time.
No. No. Don't beat me, OK?
I am wrong.
I have something to ask you.
Tell, tell An An
you saw she and Yu Feifan
kissed last night, right?
Yes.
Last night, right?
On the bench of that path,
you two...
You and Yu Feifan...
What was the matter?
Did you?
Right?
Right? Did you?
Do you remember?
Even I know...
Lower your voice.
No.
I remember it was him.
Who was he?
Don't gossip.
Who is he she mentioned?
Well, what happened?
So even if you have good drinking capacity,
you should drink little.
Why so?
Where is Yu Feifan?
He left.
He left?
He left after kissing me.
It's common.
It's strange that
he could spare his time to accompany you on vacation.
Xu Lang also left.
Why did Xu Lang leave?
He sent me messages
and said he would go back to Shanghai.
Is there something to deal with in your law firm?
He said so, but he didn't detail it.
I read the new game
a game company developed
is also about Miao Xiaohei and Wang Xiaobai.
Look.
Boss.
Thank you for working overtime with me
on vacation.
Don't stand on ceremony with me.
You know as an old single female,
I don't have important arrangements on vacation.
Don't irritate me.
I see.
I asked you to have these comics with the best background data
in the zone of vertical comics of "Extraordinary Comics"
registered and filed in the copyright center.
Are all of them here?
I went,
but many work names or images
of them
were registered.
What about Miao Xiaohei and Wang Xiaobai?
I just mean this.
It was registered by the Eraser
and they did that a bit earlier than us.
It was registered by Eraser?
Just now.
Bai Jinyu, bastard,
actually dares to send an invitation to me.
Boss, calm down.
This is entirely the neglect of the author's rights and interests.
I actually wanted
to cooperate with such a company.
That's ridiculous.
Boss, this is about the non-signed author,
which is actually unrelated to our studio.
As long as an author publishes his work
on the platform of "Extraordinary Comics",
he is our author,
and we need to protect him.
Such a thing happened.
Do you want me to ignore it?
No. No.
Summon the publicity staff
to have a meeting at once.
It's vacation now. I...
Now. Right away.
Go at once.
Lawyer Xu,
you may have to finish your vacation early.
You need to come back and deal with some copyright matters.
That's better.
See you at my studio later.
Mr. Tang,
do you have something to talk with me?
If not, please make way.
Well, Jinyu.
Jin...
We are both
game designers.
You're also like an author.
Why did you do such an immoral thing?
Are you thirsty?
I'll come later.
I know what you're trying to say.
You almost want to talk the same to me as Yu Feifan did,
right?
You're both good people.
I don't mind being a bad guy.
Let's stay peacefully in each other's camp
and seek common ground while reserving differences, OK?
Don't lecture me, OK?
And I think
there's a much more important thing
for you and me
than to preserve the copyright
of an obscure cartoonist.
Tang Xiaoquan,
everything I did
for the game "Pocket Love"
is reasonable and legitimate.
Don't bother me, OK?
And I really don't have time
to discuss moral issues with you here.
I need to be responsible for the company,
shareholders,
and the market.
After doing these,
I complete my task.
By then,
you can know
whether I am right or wrong.
Make way.
Moreover,
I gave the author a chance, right?
I believe both Extraordinary Studio
and the author herself
wanted to cooperate
with our company strongly.
In the final analysis,
it's you who don't like
Wang Xiaobai and Miao Xiaohei,
so we didn't sign a contract.
I believe now
it's you who should
explain to the author.
Miss,
you didn't make an appointment with Mr. Tang.
So please wait here.
He's not going to see me now,
but I know he's in there.
Miss, sorry. You can't enter.
What's the matter?
Why are you so noisy?
She didn't make an appointment with Mr. Tang.
Mr. Big.
I have something to ask you.
You said you didn't like it,
so I didn't sell
the copyright of the comic image.
You know it.
Yes.
I thought I should respect your opinion
instead of letting Bai Jinyu decide alone.
So what do you mean now?
Did you change your mind suddenly
or didn't you plan to
cooperate with me
or "Extraordinary Comics" by proper means
from the beginning?
No.
Let's talk here, OK?
Come over.
Then what do you mean?
What does the Eraser mean?
As such a big game development company,
how can you treat an author
and the copyright in this way?
Were you afraid that
I would charge high for it?
To be honest, if we had a nice talk,
the copyright transfer fee was the last thing
I had to think about.
No.
OK.
I'll listen to you.
Well, listen.
I didn't know the whole thing like you.
Can you believe me?
Then,
then who did this?
Like you,
I knew the final comic images
are Wang Xiaobai and Miao Xiaohei
through the publicity manuscript
of "Pocket Love"
or other means.
So I'm basically
sure that
I was the last one
to know this matter
in the whole Eraser as a game developer.
Then Bai Jinyu...
He basically decided that
without my approval.
Now I am just
a programmer.
An An,
though you're a cartoonist
and I a programmer,
but we're basically
both creators.
We're both authors.
So I think
I understand how you feel.
In fact, in the beginning,
when I knew my vertical comics
were loved by so many people
and I became the protagonist of a game,
I was so happy.
But in this way,
I feel so wronged.
It seems I'm out of it.
Then let's be together.
Be together. Join me.
Let's, let's make it.
Be together?
Yes.
You and I
go and talk with Bai Jinyu
to regain our rights and interests
and cooperate actively.
But I know this is a gift from you
to your wife every year.
And this year, this is particularly important.
In fact,
I didn't choose the comic images
not because of the like
of me or my wife.
Then why?
It's because
I was so selfish.
As you know, I am a programmer
who doesn't know romance.
But I really wanted to give romance to her,
I mean my wife.
When the Eraser
was just founded,
it was small
like a baby.
Then I could give it to her as a gift.
But now it becomes
so big.
Look at him.
It's a very big company.
It's the top one Otome mobile game manufacturer
in the circles.
It carries so much
that I can't
give it to my wife as a gift anymore.
That's so irresponsible.
I think I should put an end to
what I used to do
since the game "Pocket Love".
And my wife and I
might need
some fresh romance, too.
I am afraid you're the most artistic programmer.
I...
So you've
decided to step back
and talk to Bai Jinyu about cooperation?
I think
as authors,
it's the most important for us to protect our works.
Everything else can make way.
What do you think?
If you pay more attention to
your work,
then we'll choose another way to go.
But you need to think it over and over again,
compromise, and make a concession.
But in the end, I'm sure that
your work "Cartoonist Wang and Lawyer Miao"
will benefit.
Let me think about it.
The relationship among people
is like driving bumper cars.
We become close or far suddenly and keep colliding.
We always choose to avoid and take a detour
in order not to get hurt anymore.
As a result, we hurt more people.
In fact, the way to reach a settlement is very simple.
The first step is to take off your disguise
and face your heart.
