01x13 - Episode 13

[bunniefuu]

The ceremony already started.
Is Xiao Zhen still coming?

She's not even replying.

She'd come, right?

Let's wait a bit longer.

Let me show you something.

Isn't this Yang Xiao Fan?

What's he up to now?

He got married last year.
They registered it in the Netherlands.

- He married a foreigner?
- Yes.

She's quite pretty.

Did you know he used to like you?

He was planning to confess to you,
but I stopped him.

I didn't think he was good enough for you.

No wonder he blocked me.

Am I... a bit too arbitrary sometimes?

Don't take every dirty work on yourself.

Let me do it myself.

Is she coming or not?

Don't tell me she came and already left.

Let's wait a bit more.

Alright.

What if she doesn't show up?

Then we'll leave?

What if she shows up after we leave?

Then we can't leave.

[Episode 13]
[The Love Is Long Overdue]

[Fu Ming Yu]
A five-minute call?

And I was the one who called him?

I'm screwed.

What did I say?

I shouldn't use my phone after drinking.

I'm so screwed.

What did I say?

I'll lock my phone when
I drink from now on.

[Fu Ming Yu]
[Call duration: 05:00]

Thanks.

I'm about to make a major decision.

I'm kicking you out.

Kick you out of my head.

I'm done thinking about you.

You jerk.

[Training Schedule/ Recurrent Training]
[Instructor: Yue Yang/ Trainee: Ruan Si Xian]

Really? Just one phone
call, and he came back early?

Interesting.

Look, Bai Yang.

I have some friends
who want to visit Hengshi Air.

Could you arrange it for me?

Have Ms. Ruan accompany
them the whole time.

He got slapped,
yet he came back early for one call.

I want to see who she really is, right?

That's all for today.

Si Xian. Wait a moment. Let's talk.

I really admire you.
You've made great progress lately.

It's all thanks to your teaching.

No. It's because you're talented.

How about this? Let's
grab a late-night snack.

I'll pass. I have to get up early tomorrow.

Right. Then let's just grab
something quick outside.

It won't take long, okay?

- Ms. Jiang.
- Si Xian, wait.

Ms. Jiang.

What are you doing here?

Bringing you a late-night
snack, Captain Yue.

That's very thoughtful of you.

But you don't have to
go to such trouble next time.

Only if you can come
home earlier next time.

You two carry on. I'll head out first.

Si Xian, I'll walk you out.

Si Xian, I'll get straight to the point.

Lately, Yue Yang and I have been dating.

I know that because
of the simulator training,

you've been around him a lot lately.

I hope that, if possible,
during the evenings...

Actually, at all times,
you can avoid Yue Yang.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang. I can't do that.
The simulator is too hard to book.

Whenever I have time and there's a
slot available, I'll do my best to get it.

Because I cherish every minute of practice.

You can rest assured.
Instructor Yue and I are just colleagues.

A senior-junior relationship.

Other than that, there's
nothing between us.

Si Xian.

We've known each other for years.

Over the years, your transformation
has been obvious to everyone.

Three years ago,
you were the beauty of Hengshi Air.

And now, you're our airline's star pilot.

You're so beautiful. The men at our airline
must have their eyes on you.

As for Yue Yang, I know him very well.

If he's ever crossed a line at work,

I apologize to you on his behalf.

However, I still hope
you can keep your distance from him.

Ms. Jiang, what you've said
and worried about today is unnecessary.

You might not know me very well,
but let me make this clear to you.

Of all the men I could date,
Yue Yang would be the last one.

What you treasure is worthless to me.

Instead of worrying about
your so-called boyfriend getting stolen,

why don't you tell him
to stop being an instructor?

You might even run into him
with some other girl on a flight one day.

Why don't you just tell him to quit?

You know exactly what's making you
so insecure about your relationship.

- I have plenty of confidence in it, okay?
- Then why did you come to me today?

Ms. Jiang, if I fall in love one day,

I will walk with him out in the open.

I wouldn't want us hiding in the shadows like
it's some dirty secret, especially not him.

I believe you give your all to love.

But you must realize the worst thing
in love is mistaking poison for a cure.

Ruan Si Xian, who are you
to teach me about love?

I know my relationship with Yue Yang
better than anyone.

Yes, I do worry, but that's because I care.

I'm not like you.

Mr. Fu is so good to you.

He treats you like a treasure.

Your love life and career
have gone smoothly all these years.

You went straight to the top.

Of course, you feel
secure. But what about me?

Whether Yue Yang loves you
or wants to be with you,

I believe you know better than anyone.

Ms. Jiang, there's nothing wrong
with being cautious.

But if you spend all your love on defense,
then that love is questionable.

True love shouldn't have you
walking on eggshells.

I've said all I have to say.

I'll be going now.

I'm fine.

What a wonderful surprise

you've given me.

- I got it.
- What do you mean?

You got what you wanted.

What?

Why did you come here today?

Well, I brought you food
from the place you've been craving.

- I waited in line for a long...
- So now you're interfering with my work?

- I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

Starting tomorrow, I'll cancel
all my evening training sessions.

I'll cancel my daytime flights too.

Maybe I should just quit the airline.

- You heard what we said.
- Yes.

You were being quite loud.

You know I didn't mean it that way.

Then what did you mean?

As far as I'm concerned,
you've already affected our work today.

- What do you mean "our"?
- Ruan Si Xian's and my work tonight.

I think I've made myself clear.

Yue Yang.

Ask yourself. Did I affect your work?

Or did you have your own ulterior motives?

So I have ulterior motives?
How come I didn't know that?

Since you know me so well,
tell me what they are.

All I feel right now is that
you are questioning my professionalism.

First, I've been flying for over a decade.

I can separate work from my personal life.

Second, I believe Ruan Si Xian is
an excellent pilot. I want to mentor her.

Third, if I ever did something that
made her uncomfortable,

she could report it
to her supervisor or the president.

But she didn't. That proves I
didn't do anything inappropriate.

Fourth, I've always thought of you
as an outstanding and perfect woman.

But today, your behavior...
really disappointed me.

You've ruined your image in my mind.

I just wanted you to care more about me.

How should I show I care?

You used to share everything with me.

What you were doing, where you were,

anything fun you encountered,
anything nice you saw.

You would tell me everything.
But now, I can't seem to reach you.

I send you messages,
and you only reply when you feel like it.

No one at the airline
knows about our relationship.

Even today, I had to randomly see the schedule
to find out you were with Ruan Si Xian.

Fine. So starting tomorrow, from the
moment I wake up, every person I meet...

You know that's not what I meant.
What more do you want me to do?

- Then what do you mean?
- I don't feel loved by you anymore!

Since I'm so terrible
and you can't feel my love, then let it be.

I'm sorry.

What did you say?

I said I'm sorry.

Jiang Zi Yue, I don't think
you owe an apology to me,

but to Ruan Si Xian,
whose work you disrupted today.

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

Let's... Why don't we go home?

How can you change so quickly?

Some things are still unresolved
between us. I can't go home with you.

We can talk when we get home.

Yes, you can do that. But I can't.

I haven't thought things through.

Then what do you want me to do?

I don't know either.

There you go again. That look again.
That look of disdain again.

Every single time we fight, I see it.

I'm wrong when I apologize.
I'm still wrong when I argue.

Have you ever respected me, Yue Yang?

You always take everything I do for you
for granted, don't you?

I even waited in line for so long today
to buy you your favorite food.

- You couldn't even say thank you!
- Thank you.

Thank you for buying me my favorite food.

You know, sometimes...

when you're not hungry,
and you're forced to eat anyway,

you'll only feel... stuffed.

It makes you uncomfortable.
That's how I feel right now.

Go home on your own.
I still have work to do.

And over here is a display
of Hengshi Air's uniforms.

As you can see, the first set
is our earliest design.

With the shoulder boards,
its overall style is military-inspired.

The second set was used starting in 1992.
The style has changed significantly.

The third set was introduced in 1998.

This set was used the longest at our
airline. It's also our most iconic uniform.

Back then, we specifically commissioned
a Hong Kong designer to create it.

It's still in use today.

By the way, "Captain" Ruan once worked
as an outstanding flight attendant.

She used to wear this very uniform
when she worked.

So seeing it again
must feel very nostalgic for her.

Yes.

These three sets
each have their own characteristics.

The 1998 uniform was the first Chinese
uniform to win the Blue Sky Design Awards.

It became the first award-winning
Chinese airline uniform.

[Ruan Si Xian]

Lunch together?

You're back?

If I hadn't come back in time,
you'd have kicked me out.

[Typing...]

[Ruan Si Xian:?]

Let's have lunch together.
I have something to tell you.

I can't. I'm with visitors.
They're trying the simulator later.

Bai Yang. Go to the training center.
It's an emergency.

Okay. Let's go. Hurry.

Welcome to Hengshi Air's
simulator training center.

As you can see, there
are four simulators here.

The two in the middle
are newly introduced Z101 simulators.

Recently, our pilots completed
their training here.

Moreover, these two are full-motion.

The experience inside
is the same as in a real plane.

The other two were also newly introduced.
There are unique features.

- Look at that one.
- Look inside.

- Mr. Fu, you're here too.
- Yes.

Let's continue. This way, please.

I'm surprised Mr. Fu is accompanying us.

I must be quite honored.

Mrs. He, you came in person.

We cannot afford to be negligent.

Thank you, Mr. Fu.

Why are you here?

Am I not allowed to be here?

I wouldn't dare say that.

This way.

Everyone, this way, please.

This way. This is the lounge.

- Follow me.
- Let's take a short break.

Let's take a break.
Try Hengshi Air's coffee and see how it is.

- Right.
- This way, please.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Welcome. Long time no see.
- Please, have a seat.

- Sit.
- I really am a bit tired.

- Have a seat. Over here.
- Tired indeed.

Ms. Ruan. Come and sit with us.

- That wouldn't be appropriate.
- It's fine.

Exactly. What's inappropriate about it?
Come here.

I have something to discuss with you. Come.

Ms. Ruan, do you have a boyfriend?

I'm just asking.

At my age, I love to
gossip about these things.

Not yet.

Well, Ms. Ruan, you must not be in a hurry.

You're young, beautiful,
and talented as well.

You must have many suitors.

Not really.

My social circle is quite small.

And I'm usually quite busy.

But you can't let work get in the way.

You don't have to rush into marriage.

But you should start seeing someone.

Think of it as a pastime from work.

Later on, I'll help you find someone.

- Thank you.
- Don't mention it. It's no trouble.

I have a son who is around your age.

He's quite handsome.

He helps out with the family business.

As for his personality, it could be better.

He's very dull. Doesn't talk much.

And when he does speak,
it's not very pleasant to hear.

He might as well stay silent.

But my son is quite generous with
his money. He's very open-handed.

Everyone has their own good points, right?

What do you think?
Are you interested, Ms. Ruan?

I'm sorry.
I haven't really thought about dating.

And I'm indeed pretty busy.
I'm afraid I won't have time to date.

Then you should find someone at work.

It'll be easier to spend
time together, right?

True.

By the way, Mr. Fu
seems to be single, right?

Yes.

What do you think of him?

- I don't think much of him.
- What?

Have I ever been your boyfriend?

How can you judge that
I'd be a bad boyfriend?

To judge how well a refrigerator works,
do I have to freeze inside it for two days?

Theoretically, yes.

Don't talk nonsense in front of our guest.
Mind your image.

- I'm sorry, Mrs. He.
- It's fine.

We'll talk about this tonight.

Since you're here at Hengshi Air,
you must try our canteen.

We serve different cuisines every day.

- All eight major Chinese cuisines.
- Really?

We even have private kitchens.
Everyone, let's go upstairs and dig in.

- Then I must give it a try.
- Absolutely.

"Captain" Ruan, do you usually eat here
too? You probably don't have time to cook.

Occasionally.

After you.

- Come on in.
- This way, everyone.

- Thank you.
- Watch your step.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Make sure you enjoy our food later.
- Okay.

Ms. He, were you okay
in the simulator just now?

I'm okay.

But... I almost fainted from laughing.

Everyone, this way, please.

- This way, come on.
- Hello, we serve coffee here.

- This way.
- Come on, Ruan...

What are you laughing at?

Can't I laugh if I'm happy?

- Just now, in the elevator...
- What is it?

Just now, I was suddenly grabbed by...

I grabbed the wrong person.

- I thought...
- You thought what?

I thought you were Mrs. He.

You knew I grabbed the wrong person,
yet you didn't let go.

Are you always this easy?

You didn't even check and just grabbed
anyone's hand. Which of us is easier?

Besides, I didn't know
if you actually wanted to hold my hand.

Didn't you call me to
say that you missed me?

I...

Let go. Don't talk nonsense.

I was drunk that day. I didn't mean it.
You can't take it seriously.

From what I know of you,

you usually speak the
truth when you're drunk.

You talk as if you know me so well.

I might not know you well enough yet,
but I know myself.

I like you.

You don't like me.
You like the idea of a female captain.

I don't have some
kind of filter over pilots.

But I have one for you.

Fu Ming Yu, what exactly do you want?

- Let go.
- Ruan Si Xian.

I want to be your boyfriend.

Even if you let me keep dreaming,

usually my dreams come true.

As if I'd believe your nonsense.

You don't have to believe me,

but you have to believe yourself.

And if you feel the same way, we could...

Am I a masochist?

Why would I like someone who ignores me
when he's on a business trip,

then treats me
like I'm at his beck and call when...

I wasn't ignoring you.

I was afraid that if I reached out,
all my efforts would be in vain.

That's why I put everything aside
and came back to see you.

Let go.

Lean your face in.

Your face.

Stop reading those cheesy pick-up lines.

So, are we together? Do
you want to be with me?

Hey. Do you want to be with me or not?

Si Xian.

I don't know
if Fu Ming Yu's been possessed lately.

He's acting so strange.

He came to the company today.

And he suddenly...

This... What's wrong?

- Lu Ming is gone.
- Gone?

Where did he go?
He just left Xiao Zhen behind?

I told you. That guy is unreliable.

Tell me where he went.
I'm going to find him wherever he is.

That scumbag.

- Stop asking.
- Why can't I?

Lu Ming...

He passed away.

Pa...

It'll be fine.

I'll never see him again.

What am I going to do?

What am I going to do?

There, there. Don't cry.

Let's go. We can't wait anymore.
I feel like she still can't face it.

Let's go.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You're not late at all. Let's go.

Mom, this is Lu Ming's girlfriend.

Hello, ma'am.

Hi.

Lu Ming.

I'm sorry. I'm late again today.

My makeup was so hard to do today.

It kept smudging, so I
had to keep redoing it.

Look.

Today, I'm cosplaying as Zhi again.

I hope you'll always remember...

what I looked like the first time we met.

I only found out later that
when you were in the sea that day,

my flight was passing right over that area.

Why didn't I look down at the ocean?

I've always felt that...

I was an incredibly lucky person.

Because I met you.

If I had known how unpredictable life is,

I wouldn't have kept myself
from saying "I like you".

These past two days...

I've been thinking about
the time we spent together.

I did the math.

I had exactly 27 chances
to tell you how I felt.

But I never did.

Because I thought...
we had all the time in the world.

There'd always be
another chance to tell you.

But I never expected...

we'd run out of our time so soon.

Each of those 27 moments
was already a perfect chance.

I was the one
who pushed you and our happiness away.

Lu Ming.

I like you.

I'm sure you can hear me.

My dear Lu Ming,

I hope you can take my love
and my longing with you.

I believe that

on the Green Continent
of "Age of Scorched Earth,"

those who miss each other
will eventually reunite.

Lu Ming.

Thank you.

Xiao Zhen, there's a video here.

I think you should watch it.

Hi, Xiao Zhen. Guess where I am?

Right now, I'm at the
Gold Coast in Queensland.

It's absolutely beautiful here.
Let me show you.

Yesterday, I was here watching the sunset.

And suddenly, I felt a bit sentimental.

Because I was thinking,
with scenery this beautiful,

why aren't you here by my side?

I can't hold back my
feelings for you anymore.

Because I really, really want to see you.
I miss you so much.

Si Xiao Zhen.

I like you.

Will you be my girlfriend?

He... He said he liked me.

- Si Xiao Zhen.
- He said he liked me.

If possible,

I want to see countless sunrises
and sunsets with you.

He liked me.

I like you too.

[Mingchen Residences]

- Eat something. You barely ate all day.
- I really can't eat. I have no appetite.

Go back to the pub. I'll stay here.

It's okay. Tong Le is there.

It's hard for her to get time off.
I asked Ni Tong to swap shifts with her.

Let her stay here tonight.

Here.

What's this?

An invitation to the opening ceremony
of Zheng You An's studio.

Are you going?

We'll see.
I'm not in the mood for this right now.

Xuan.

Today, I've been thinking about something.

If we hadn't tried so hard to stop her,

if we hadn't kept discouraging her,

would things have turned out differently?

We both thought we knew better.

We even lectured her.

But look at Xiao Zhen.

She liked him, and
she expressed it bravely.

If we hadn't given her bad advice,

they would've known
their feelings were mutual.

Wouldn't they have been closer and happier?

But me?

I'm always overthinking things.

One moment, I find it too troublesome.

The next, I'm worried
about what others think.

I keep thinking about it,
but never get anywhere.

So I just run away.

Xiao Zhen is brave.

It's us who have lost the courage
to try and fail.

But so what if we fail?

Isn't failing better than missing out?

I don't know.

When it comes to life and relationships,
I really don't know either.

But if you like him,
why not give it a shot?

Xuan.

Actually, I'm very
attracted... to Fu Ming Yu.

He keeps coming toward
me with such certainty.

I've started wanting more.

I enjoy his care for me and his kindness.

Xuan.

Maybe I'm affected by
my parents' relationship.

The closer love gets,
the more I'm afraid of losing it.

You silly girl.

I can't just blindly encourage you to leap.

But I believe that...

if it's the right person,

then his waiting will surely become
your growing courage.

If you've made up your mind,
go and embrace him.

Maybe the love meant
for you is long overdue.

What about this piece?

Come on in.
Let's go inside and broaden your horizons.

Go.

Not bad.

You've made wonders with so little money.

I'm warning you. Don't ruin my mood today.

Or on this auspicious day,
I'll send you straight to your grave.

Watch your mouth. I'm here to congratulate
you. And this is how you talk to me?

Where's Fu Ming Yu?

I sent him an invitation.
It's his loss if he doesn't come.

Then why did I have to come?
Talk about double standards.

So what if I am?
How come they only apply to you?

Figure it out yourself.

Mom.

Congratulations on the opening, Boss Zheng.

Where's my dad?

Don't even ask. He's at
home sulking over you.

He said you didn't invite him.

He's being dramatic.
Let me show you around.

No need. Go attend to your guests.
I'll look around myself.

- Call me if you need anything, Mom.
- Okay.

Si Xian. I knew you wouldn't miss this.

Congratulations on the opening.
I'm a practical person.

I didn't know what to get you.

Here's a little something.

This red envelope is exactly what I wanted.

I need money the most right now.

Go ahead and look around.
I have a gift for you later, too.
