[Beiyu High School]

Do you know how expensive dance lessons are?

You're not a kid anymore.

It's time to give up those unrealistic fantasies.

I don't need you to spend money hiring a teacher.

Can I just practice on my own?

Where will you be practicing?

In your aunt's living room?

Or are you renting a dance studio?

It's expensive, even by the hour.

Your Uncle Zheng's new clinic

has been losing money,

and we're also struggling financially.

Doesn't Zheng Kejia need money

to study art as well?

If she didn't study art,

she couldn't even make it to college.

Does that mean I have to give up dancing?

I got it.

Why are we looking at the elementary school?

Come with me.

Where are we going?

Did we come here

to climb stairs today?

Are you tired, my junior?

What are we doing here?

Since you can't dance anywhere else,

let's make do

with this spot.

What?

Thank you.

If there's anything you're not happy with,

just let me know.

[Episode 8]
[The Sun in the Rain]

[3098 Days]

[Day 36 of official cohabitation]

Who is it?

Who is it?

Shuangjiang.

Shuangjiang.

Come on, get up.

Come on. Let's go.

Get up now.

Sorry about this.

What are you doing?

Listen,

your mom sold you to us.

Stop right there.

Can't sleep?

I just finished showering and here you are.

Your intention is a bit too obvious, you know?

You want to see a handsome guy step out of the shower?

Wen Yifan,

what's the meaning of this?

How much longer will you hold me?

Wen Yifan?

Wen Yifan.

You...

What was that about?

[Sang Yan: What's going on with you?]

Is he upset?

[What?]

[What?]

[Did you text the wrong person?]

What's with the thumbs-up?

Morning encouragement?

You messaged me on WeChat yesterday.

Anything you wanted to talk about?

What do you mean?

You want to pretend it never happened?

Is it because I didn't stay

to finish setting off fireworks with you?

Sorry

if I ruined your mood.

I was just really tired yesterday.

All right.

It isn't a big deal

for me,

but I hope you'll give me

a proper explanation if you do

something like this again in the future.

He's so petty.

I will.

What's that supposed to mean?

Is she not taking responsibility?

Morning.

Morning.

What's wrong?

Did you not sleep well?

I've been having restless sleep and frequent dreams.

I wonder if this happens

to all pregnant women.

That must be tough.

You're going through a lot.

How did you sleep last night?

I slept okay,

but I dreamed all night.

What did you dream about?

Tell me.

Let me, a modern-day dream expert,

interpret it for you.

It'll help me feel more awake.

I dreamed

that I

suddenly wandered into a vast forest.

I walked and walked,

searching for an exit,

but I just couldn't.

After some time,

as I kept moving forward,

night fell without warning,

and the cold crept in.

So I hurried forward.

As I continued walking,

I suddenly remembered

that I had seen the sun

on my way in.

So I thought

maybe I should go back and find it to warm up.

After walking for a while,

I really did find the sun.

Didn't night already fall?

How could there still be a sun?

That's why it's a dream.

That's all?

So in the end…

I found my way out

when I saw the sun.

I remember

that when I saw it,

I couldn't help

but hug it.

This dream...

Is it hard to interpret?

Not easy.

[When You Are Old]

[When You Are Old]

[I'll lend this to you. Don't just read textbooks.]

[Reading poetry helps you dream.]

[When you're old, I'll still cherish]

[the time we spent together.]

By the way,

did you get the book I returned to you?

[When you're old, I'll still cherish]

[the time we spent together.]

[When you're old, I'll still cherish]

[the time we spent together.]

There's an urgent task from the higher-ups.

It's about the person from the Central South Century City case last time.

That individual is getting a lot of attention on our channel,

so the higher-ups want to strike

while the iron is hot and do a follow-up.

That person and Yifan went to the same high school,

so…

So,

So, have Yifan help you get in touch.

The first draft is due tomorrow.

She's already handled everything alone during the Spring Festival.

We can't have her working overtime again.

All right, Miss?

Here's another task that isn't so urgent.

You can take care of it.

Okay.

Give it to me.

What?

Your high school friend's number,

so you won't feel awkward.

Let me ask him for you first.

Sure.

Hello and welcome.

I'm here to see someone.

This way, please.

Okay.

Qiao.

Xiang Lang.

Why did you pick such a fancy restaurant?

I thought you wanted a quiet place?

You must be hungry.

Take a look.

- Okay. - See what you'd like to eat.

Any recommendations?

We just added a new set menu for couples.

We are not...

We'll go with the set menu for couples.

All right, please wait a moment.

Xiang Lang.

Do you remember this bracelet?

Isn't this the one I gave you?

You've been wearing it all this time?

I've been wearing it ever since the day

you gave it to me.

Even when it didn't match

my outfits,

I still kept it on.

Qiao, actually…

I've always wanted to ask you this.

When you gave me this bracelet,

was it just a birthday gift?

I don't quite understand

what you mean.

I just want to know

if you had even the slightest feelings for me

when you gave me

this bracelet.

Qiao,

did I somehow give you the wrong idea?

I'm sorry.

We've always just been close friends.

Seems like

I was reading too much into it.

But

is there a chance

you might see me

as someone

you could be with

from now on?

Actually, I…

I guess the couple's set menu is off the table.

Let's order something else.

Excuse me.

I'm here.

Have you been waiting for long?

You haven't ordered yet?

I was about to say this earlier.

It's not just the two of us today,

but three.

What's happening? It feels a little awkward.

No,

I misunderstood Xiang Lang.

My bad.

You actually got Qiao to apologize to you?

I'm impressed.

Let's order first.

You two eat.

I have to take care of something.

Qiao.

What exactly is happening here?

It's all my fault.

Let me explain to both of you.

That bracelet

was actually something I wanted you

to pass on to Dian back then.

Qiao.

Xiang Lang.

Sorry

for the last-minute meetup.

No worries.

It's not often that you ask me to meet up.

I couldn't change my parents' minds.

They've already booked me

a flight to the U.S. for tomorrow,

so

I want to…

I thought you and Dian

had forgotten my birthday.

Thank you.

That's right.

It's your birthday today.

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

This bracelet is gorgeous.

It must have cost a lot, didn't it?

Not really.

So,

you said your parents booked you a flight.

What's it for?

A vacation?

I'm leaving for the U.S.

to study.

I should have been upfront

with you.

I also

should have confessed my feelings earlier.

This is all on me.

Dian,

I've actually

felt differently about you

since high school.

What are you talking about?

It's me who should apologize.

I've been deluded,

holding onto something

that wasn't mine for all these years.

You two eat.

I still have work to do.

Qiao.

Dian, I...

Ms. Qian...

All right.

I'm heading over now.

Dian,

where are you going?

I'm going to the TV station.

Get in the car. I'll give you a ride.

We can have a chat on the way.

No need to keep wondering.

She's just not into you.

Tell me.

What kind of flirtatious moves did she make?

She hugged you?

Since you're both girls,

I'd like you to answer this for me.

This person hugged my friend

and acted like nothing happened the next day.

What do you think that means?

Shouldn't this kind of irresponsible behavior

be reported to the police?

It shouldn't be so serious

if it was just a hug, right?

Are you out of your mind?

Why report it to the police?

But really,

it depends on the nature of your friend's relationship

with this girl.

Maybe the girl

was feeling down

and just needed some comfort,

so

the hug might not mean much.

It could simply be a hug between friends.

I'm just speculating, though.

I don't know

their relationship,

so my opinion

might not be very helpful.

Here's the question.

How's your relationship?

How else could the relationship be?

She's my goddess.

I've been pursuing her for over half a year.

And what are you even talking about?

Didn't I explain everything already?

She gave me

a box of chocolates on Valentine's Day,

not a hug.

The real issue is

that after giving me the chocolates,

she never contacted me again.

She's someone who is madly in love with him.

Your friend must have quite the charisma.

Did this girl confess to him?

Why do you ask?

It just doesn't make sense logically.

If this girl

really likes your friend,

then the meaning of the hug

should be pretty clear.

But your friend probably doesn't need

to bring this up with you.

So, are you implying

that love has clouded his judgment?

From what I just heard you say to your friend,

it seems like this girl

hasn't clearly expressed

her feelings.

So, is it possible

that your friend misunderstood?

Misunderstood?

What did he misunderstand?

Simply put,

it's just him

imagining things.

Did you hear that?

It's just you imagining things.

Now, leave me alone.

Wait, Sang Yan, what's wrong with...?

Are you done yet?

What's your problem?

It's you.

I thought it was Chen Junwen.

What's the matter?

Su Haoan mentioned in the group chat

that you went to Yihe recently.

Were you there for me?

What group chat?

How come I didn't see it?

You're not in this group chat.

Seriously?

Is this necessary?

Stop changing the subject.

Be honest with me.

Have you been to Yihe more than once?

What were you doing there?

You've never loved me, have you?

You've been toying with me, haven't you?

Say something!

Why?

Why do you always dress like...?

Sir,

I've already bought everything you need

for your stay in the hospital.

If there's anything else you need,

just let me know.

Thank you.

The nurse will take you upstairs.

Take care.

Let's go, sir.

Bye.

I really don't blame you for this.

I can't blame anyone for things like this.

I probably just need some time.

I don't think you truly understand me.

I tend to avoid things

and I'm not very outgoing.

To protect myself,

I could leave everything behind without hesitation.

The person you imagine me to be

is probably not the same

as the one I'm describing.

You really deserve someone better.

I've made things clear with Xiang Lang.

I don't want any misunderstandings between the three of us.

Is it because of me

that you...?

If I really got together with Xiang Lang,

would you cut ties with me?

Of course not.

It's a different time now.

Who would ditch their best friend for a man?

Actually, the main reason I rejected Xiang Lang

is that I don't have

any romantic feelings for him.

Just like

how he feels about me.

But Xiang Lang

is still

a very good friend to us, isn't he?

I don't want to grow up at all.

Growing up

just makes everything so complicated.

Wouldn't it be better to be as simple as before?

It's love that makes things complicated.

It's inherently an emotion

of extreme love and hate.

Let's sweep away

all the negativity.

Knock them all down with one throw.

Come on.

The other one was too expensive,

This one suits me better.

It looks great indeed.

It's a brilliant choice.

We should both be kinder to ourselves.

So, are we officially best friends now?

No more annoying guys getting in the way.

Sure.

Here.

It's a good day to get a bit tipsy.

This new lychee flavor

is perfect for reminiscing about summer romances.

Try it.

There's something I've been curious about for a while,

but I never asked you.

Have you never had

any feelings for Sang Yan before?

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Because he's handsome,

and he's really quite charming.

Even though I barely talked to him in high school,

I knew

that he seemed to really like you

and treated you well.

If you don't say anything,

I'll just assume you did have feelings for him.

Okay.

So, I can take this as you admit it?

For real?

What's with this reaction?

So, you really had feelings for Sang Yan back then?

What about now? Do you still feel the same?

That was long in the past.

But you are roommates now,

spending so much time around each other.

Besides, you both had feelings for each other before.

What if those feelings resurface?

That won't happen.

He's moving out soon.

So you're implying

that if he stayed longer,

you might have given in to your feelings.

But why didn't you two get together before?

Oh, I get it now.

It was because you transferred schools and moved away,

so you lost contact.

No.

Why then?

I don't know if others

would behave the way I do.

But...

But my college roommate once told me

that she thought

I was emotionally distant.

We were close,

but once we graduated, it felt like we lost touch.

I hardly ever reached out to them,

and they were pretty upset about it.

I admit that.

Take Xiang Lang, for example.

After he went abroad,

we barely kept in touch.

I think

it's a natural thing

for people to drift apart

over time.

And back then,

I just thought

someone like Sang Yan

deserved

to be loved passionately.
