[bunniefuu]

Pretty ridiculous pose.

But pretty handsome face.

- Morning.
- Morning.

You slept like that all night?

Your carpet is really uncomfortable
to sleep on.

Are you laughing? Still laughing?

Help me up, quick.

If it's so uncomfortable,

why didn't you go back
to your king-size bed?

- I've got a stiff neck.
- You're quite heavy.

Easy.

My goodness.

Lean on it.

Get up, hurry.

I'm going to go change.

Where are you going?

To the supermarket.

What for?

To buy groceries and cook.

Cook?

You know how to cook?

Is that hard?

I can even fly a plane.

Alright, get up now.

You can cook?

If I weren't so stiff-necked,
I'd look up to you.

Can you really cook?

I'm changing. Why are you coming in?

You asked me to wash up, didn't you?

Go wash up at your place. This is my home.

Isn't this my home too?

Get out!

[Episode 16]
[May Our Adventure Be a Safe Journey]

This one?

No.

Then what do you want to buy?

I don't know.

So, what do you want to cook today?

No idea.

What are you looking at?

Keep looking, and I'll eat you up.

Eat me?

How, if I may ask?

Steamed?

Boiled?

Or raw marinated?

Deep-fried.

That ruthless?

What are you looking at?

My girlfriend. She's pretty, isn't she?

Not as pretty as you.

Why the sudden modesty?

If I weren't so modest,
I'd have a ton of boyfriends by now.

What are you doing? Right here?

Can't win the argument, so I'll fight back.

Alright, I'm sorry, my bad.

Listen,

if you ever ignore my texts, get drunk,

and make me wait up late again,

you'll hear from me once in a blue moon.

Thanks, that's better than last time
when you said you'd send me a wreath.

Milk?

No.

You should have some.

- To grow taller.
- Grow taller?

Like I need that.

Here. Put it here.

Over here. Set it down.

Right.

- Come on.
- All right.

Put them together.

Okay.

- I'm off.
- That's it?

My dear "Captain" Ruan,
I've watched this video ten thousand times.

I can't anymore.

Let me do it. You take a break.

No way.

Get back.

I told you,
the kitchen is off-limits to you today.

Go.

Your stage.

Strike a pose.

Keep it up.

Looks good. Let's start with the egg.

How is it?

Really good. Big improvement.

Now try this one.

Is it good?

Looks great, smells great.

The taste is a bit off.

Let me try.

- No, it's too spicy for you.
- I made it.

What did I make?

Told you not to try it.

But it is perfect for me.

Everything tastes good
to you study-abroad folks, right?

When you're living on cold food,
anything hot is a win.

Quite nice.

Well, with the Spring
Festival rush coming up,

I wanted to make you a proper meal.

Much appreciated, "Captain" Ruan.

Though you almost did me in
before the rush even started.

But you're eating it just fine, aren't you?

Yeah. I'll have some more.

That's enough.

I think I have some instant noodles.

- I'll make you those instead.
- Don't bother. Forget the noodles.

This is good enough for me.

Plus, way more flavor
than instant noodles anyway.

What are you saying?

Is my cooking too heavy?

I didn't say that. Not me.

Why are you in?

I've told you, the kitchen is off-limits.

I'm already out, aren't I?

Nope, out again.

Go out, and I'll finish it.

You know, I don't really have to eat that.

You don't? Aren't you hungry?

Now I'm feeling a bit hungry.

The suspension's been lifted.

Why are you still so cold with me?

I'm leaving.

Well,

my family might be coming
for the Spring Festival,

and I was thinking of having them stay
a few extra days.

Are you asking me
to spend the festival with them?

I'm saying maybe you should find
a time soon to pack up your things.

I don't want them to get the wrong idea.

I don't think I even have much
at your place anyway.

I'm leaving.

People leave traces.

You can't erase all of them, can you?

- Let go.
- I've got it.

You promised you wouldn't walk me in.

Why? Give me a reason.

No reason. Why are you like this?
You never keep your word, do you?

Why does everyone
else get to love so boldly?

No hiding, no shame?

Was I wrong?

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.

Fine. I'm going in.

Go ahead.

Bye.

- At least let me watch you walk in.
- Sure.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and
we'll all be working when midnight comes,

so I'll hand these out now.

Happy New Year to everyone,

and may we have a safe journey
at the end of the year.

Happy New Year. Safe journey.

- Red envelope for you!
- Thank you, Captain!

- Happy New Year.
- Thank you, Captain.

- Happy New Year.
- Happy New Year.

- Here, Si Xian.
- Happy New Year.

Alright, let's get ready for boarding.

Got it.

- Red envelope!
- Back to work, everyone.

- Let's go.
- Happy New Year.

Let's go.

I'm off.

- Welcome aboard.
- Welcome aboard.

Please take your seats.

Welcome aboard.

- Hello, let me help you with that.
- Okay, thank you.

Excuse me, you're sitting in
the emergency exit row.

Good evening, passengers.

This is your captain speaking.

Welcome aboard
Hengshi Air Flight 5412 to Jiang City.

Our flight time today is
expected to be two hours and ten minutes,

with a cruising altitude of 8,400 meters.

According to the weather forecast,

there may be light turbulence
along the way due to weather,

so please keep your seat belt fastened
at all times.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve,
a time for family.

After a year of hard work,
travelers are heading home,

carrying both the year's rewards
and their longing for loved ones.

The past year has seen regrets and solace,
gains and attachments,

but none of that can hold back
the steps leading home,

because the warmth of family will always
wash away the weariness of the journey.

It's my honor to be your captain
and take you home for this reunion.

On behalf of the entire crew,

I wish you and your families
a very happy Chinese New Year.

May the year ahead bring you hope,
free you from worry,

guide you toward the light,
and carry you forward in it.

Stay passionate,
and keep chasing the next adventure.

Mentor, happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

[Reunion dinner.]
[Family portrait. Happy Spring Festival!]

[Mom]

Hello, Mom.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

But you're not even coming home for it.

Don't forget to send your nephew
a red envelope.

Got it.

- Home.
- Home.

You're up?

Need to wait just a bit longer.

Don't rush.

Sit down and watch some TV.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Everything's ready.

This reunion dinner is a little different.

I made some home-style dishes.

What do you think? Happy with it?

Happy.

Come on.

As per tradition,

let's have our future Captain Ruan
say a few words.

Go ahead.

This is...

This is my first reunion dinner

since my dad passed.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Have a taste.

Delicious.

Not bad.

She...

What's that actress's name?

She's been really popular lately.

She's called...

- Li...
- Li Zhi Huai.

Right, Li Zhi Huai.

She's huge this year.

I watched one of her
shows just the other day.

You know her too?

Then she's really everywhere.

Here, have a dumpling.

Wait.

Before we eat the dumplings,

let's have one more toast.

Ms. Ruan, happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Mr. Fu.

Thank you.

[Li Zhi Huai: Ming Yu,
happy Spring Festival.]

Five minutes left.

You're timing it?

Four minutes and 30 seconds.

Why does time go by so fast?

Four minutes left.

It flies by.

I wish it would slow down.

What happened to your cool image?

I didn't know you were this clingy.

What's wrong with being clingy?

Fine. But you can't get too carried away.

You have to leave soon.

Don't want to leave.

Don't want to go to work either.

You're no different
from a lovesick emperor.

Don't make me the one
who ruined your legacy.

To be honest, it's
getting a little annoying.

You're annoyed with me?

It's only been a few days,
and you're already annoyed?

Don't you like me anymore?

Didn't you say if I
ever stopped liking you,

I'd tell you straight up?
Would you even change?

But how am I supposed to stop liking you?

A vice president, pulling this act at home.

Alright, fine. Hugs, cuddles.

Time's up.

Go to work.

Hengshi Air needs you. And I'm
counting on you to pay my salary. Go.

You're still counting down?

Why are you back?

Didn't finish the routine.

Off to work!

Refreshed.

Bye.

I'm off.

Finally gone.

I'm exhausted.

Oh my gosh, he's not coming back, is he?

Xuan, what are you doing here?

I missed you. My mom had me
bring you some local specialties.

You have no idea how much trouble it was
to get two boxes of red bean buns for you.

What is it?

- Isn't this Mr. Fu's phone?
- What?

How'd it end up here?

Yeah, it is.

I'll give him a call.

Sure, go ahead.

I'll enjoy his ringtone.

I'm calling Bai Yang.

- Hello?
- Babe.

Did I leave my phone at home?

Yeah, on the couch.

Okay, I'll come pick it up.

No, I'm about to head out anyway.

I'll drop it off for you.

Just get to the office. Don't be late.

Okay, thanks.

I'm exhausted.

- Did you drive?
- I did.

I drove Xiao Zhen's car.

Ever since she hit Mr. Fu's car last time,
she's been too scared to drive,

so now it's basically my car.

So, do you even know his phone password?

What good is knowing that?

I'd rather know his bank card's password.

True. Good point.

Alright, I'm going to get changed.

He has a phone call.

You should probably get that.
Might be something urgent.

Hello?

Who is this?

I'm looking for Fu Ming Yu.

Is he not there?

He left his phone here.

If it's urgent,
I'll have him call you back later.

It's not urgent.

I'm calling to thank him.

The flowers he sent are beautiful.

What's wrong? What are you thinking about?

That call just now.

It was a woman.

So what? That's perfectly normal.

You're not jealous over that, are you?

She said thank you to Fu Ming Yu
for the beautiful flowers.

Honestly, I don't think it's a big deal.

People send flowers all the time.

It could be a client or someone from work.

Don't worry about it.

Don't let it get to you.

Then why are you speeding up?

I don't think sending
flowers is a big deal.

It could just be a courtesy.

But this lady's move
is a little deliberate.

She heard you pick up.

Anyone with half a brain would know
that's his girlfriend answering,

yet she still made a point of telling you.

She's got his number.
Couldn't she call him later?

That makes sense.

Always sharp, Xuan.

You need to spare some attention
for this woman.

I can't be bothered to
keep tabs on everyone.

You can't keep a love rat any more than
you can hold sand in your hand.

If he wants to stray,
there's no holding him back.

All I can do is be in charge of myself.

Morning, Si Xian.

There was a call earlier.

Some woman said
the flowers Mr. Fu sent were beautiful.

You might want to have
Fu Ming Yu call her back.

Wait...

Was that a little tense just now?

"There was a call earlier."

"Some woman said
the flowers Mr. Fu sent were beautiful."

"You might want to have
Fu Ming Yu call her back."

- She said that exactly?
- Yes, that's all she said.

Any jealousy in there?

Let me do it again for you.

"There was a call earlier."

- "Some woman said the flowers Mr. Fu sent..."
- Alright, that's enough.

Mr. Fu, if I may ask...

Have you ever sent Ms. Ruan flowers?

No. She said she doesn't like them.

That's not how it works.

She says she doesn't like it?
That's how you know she loves it.

She says she doesn't like it,
but you still have to send it.

We'll talk about it
after work. Let's focus.

You got this, boss.

Was I just sitting in this chair?

Do you have plans at home?

Or want to come to my place?

I don't want to go anywhere.

Don't want to go home either.

Okay then. Let's just wander around.

Hello?

Okay, got it.

Well, guess I don't need
to figure out where to go.

I'm on standby, and I just got called in.
Have to go pack.

Where to?

Jinhai City.

Nice. A little change of scenery.

Oh my.

What's wrong?

You know Li Zhi Huai, don't you?

The name sounds familiar.
I think I've met her once or twice.

I knew it. What did she want with you?

Last time, she brought a film director
and a producer to see me.

Said they wanted to make a
biographical movie based on me.

Did you say yes?

Of course not.

What's there to film about me?

Good thing you refused.

She's such a media manipulator!

She just announced she's making a movie
about a female pilot,

and now she's involved in a scandal.

And guess
who she's rumored to be involved with?

Fu Ming Yu?

Hey, you home yet?

I've got a last-minute flight.

What's wrong?

Nothing. When are you back?

Tomorrow.

Alright. Text me when you land.

Got it.

Why has Ming Yu been so caught up
in drama lately?

I wonder if Si Xian knows about this.

Can she handle it?

Si Xian?

Ruan Si Xian, that female pilot.

Isn't she Ming Yu's girlfriend?

Well, maybe she still is, maybe not.

[Jinhai City]

Hello, welcome in. We
have your table ready.

- Would you like to order anything?
- Thank you.

Made it yet?

No, I forgot to reply.

He's going to make a fuss again.

Made it, got a little busy just now.

Okay.

What's this?

Back to his factory settings?

No follow-up?

Nothing else?

Sounds pretty confident.

Maybe nothing is wrong?

Look at this.

"Made it, got a little busy just now."

Eight words.

Look at those eight words.

She used two punctuation marks.

A comma and a period.

- So?
- There's a ton of information hidden in there.

- Like what?
- Let me break it down for you.

She landed at 4:10 p.m., right?

What time is it now?


Think about it.
In the last two hours and 27 minutes,

she said she was "a little busy."

- Busy with what?
- What was she busy with?

Exactly. A pilot lands, and that's it.

She's off duty.

- So what was she doing?
- What was she doing?

- And who was she doing it with?
- Who was she with?

Just spit it out! Stop with the suspense!

Check the trending topics.

Think about it.

The last two hours

were the most expl*sive hours
of this entire buzz.

She must have been online, and by now
she's got the whole thing figured out.

So you're saying

she already knows about this?

But she's pretending she doesn't
and acting completely calm.

The calmest seas run the deepest.

No.

I'm going to call her.

No, absolutely not.

Think about it.

You're in plain sight,
but she's in the shadows.

You have no idea how much she knows.

Didn't you say she knows everything?

That was a guess. Merely a guess.

And maybe she doesn't know anything.

But that's unlikely, right?

I mean, this thing is huge.

Then what should I do now?

Test the waters.

Fish for clues.

How?

She said she was busy.

Just ask her what she's busy with.

Good one.

- What are you doing?
- Yes, and throw in a little smiley face emoji.

A cute one?

No, too stiff.

This one, the one with blush.

- Blush?
- Girls like that.

Okay.

Sending it?

Go for it.

"Hang on, busy."

With a period.

So?

She's in Jinhai City.

What could she possibly be busy with?

Do you know who's the first
to find Ruan Si Xian?

Yan An.

But that guy just
couldn't stop showing off.

He sent the video straight to Fu Ming Yu,

and Fu Ming Yu went straight
to the Aviation Academy.

I'll admit, Fu Ming Yu's looks
can be pretty deceiving,

but honestly,
Si Xian's taste in men is not great.

Yeah, not great.

Si Xian!

Are you eating here too?

She's Si Xian.

I heard this restaurant has a story.

Didn't expect the one I'd walk into
would be my own.

Si Xian, it's great to meet you here.

Mom, I only know bits and pieces
of the things you asked.

But now here's the real deal.

- Si Xian, have a seat.
- Wait...

Tell us firsthand.

- Probably not a good idea.
- It's fine.

Join us.

My stuff...

I'll get it. Excuse me, can we get
another set of utensils over here?

It's perfect.

And a glass, please.

Sure.

Here is your plate.

Enjoy your meal.

Your favorite Sweet-and-Sour Pork Ribs.

Have some.

- Thanks.
- Serve them on that table.

- Sure. Please wait a moment.
- Together.

Don't be so formal.

Just say whatever comes to mind.

I haven't introduced you yet, right?

Mom, this is Ruan Si Xian.

And this is my dearest mother,

the renowned painter, Ms. Dong Xian.

You both have a "Xian" in your names,
exactly the same character...

You An, let "Captain" Ruan have her dinner.

Right.

These ribs are amazing.

This one too.

Si Xian, there's a question
I've been dying to ask.

Go ahead.

You came all the way to the
beach by yourself to unwind?

So, how are you feeling?

Pretty good.

So-so?

See, Mom? What did I tell you?

Si Xian is a total boss.

Unshakable.

Except for that taste.

That part is a little questionable.

You An, that's enough.

Don't bother her.

You were so curious earlier.

Now that she's here,
but you're too shy to ask?

Curious about what?

My personal life?

Si Xian, in my book, you are top-tier.

Anyone else would have been
a total mess by now.

But look at you. Eating, drinking,
not a care in the world.

Why would I be a mess?

Zheng You An, did you have something weird
in your drink today?

Talking trash?

I'm not talking trash!

I genuinely admire you, I swear.

Something this huge blows up online,
yet you're so calm.

What huge thing?

She doesn't know?

Know what?

- Mr. Fu.
- How's it going?

We can't get the trending topic down.

There's no other entertainment news
after the holiday,

so netizens are latching onto this.

They even dug up that you two
went to the same high school.

But that was so long ago.

Why is this coming out now?

If one day you fall for someone else
without telling me,

I'll...

You'll what?

Send a funeral wreath to you.

I'll put your memorial
altar front and center.

No. This has to be resolved
before she gets back tomorrow.

This is a little hot.

They look great together.
Very easy on the eyes.

Leave Li Zhi Huai alone.
Focus on her work. And go away, scandals!

She's going to play a female pilot, isn't she?
So dating an airline boss makes total sense.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes

that this woman is just
trying to make a scene.

But to be fair, a wise man
doesn't stand under a crumbling wall.

Fu Ming Yu handled this poorly too.

He's not blameless.

You An, we don't know the full story yet.
Don't jump to conclusions.

Looks like we don't have enough food.

Go grab a couple more dishes.

Go on.

Good idea.
I happen to know two amazing dishes here.

I'll make an extra order.

Si Xian, this is on me.

Eat however much you want.

My treat!

You must be pretty pleased.

You get a front-row seat to my drama.

I am very pleased,

because I have two wonderful daughters.

It's so rare for us to sit down
and eat together like this.

It makes me really happy.

And if something else is on your mind,

I'm sorry about that too.

Weren't you going to talk to me?
Help me get to know Fu Ming Yu better?

I thought about it,
and I realized I did overstep before.

You're an adult now.

You have your own judgment.

As for my opinion?

It doesn't matter that much.

As long as you're
happy, that's what counts.

Isn't that how I've always lived?

That is how you've always lived.

When it comes to relationships, relax.

I think the most important thing
is to enjoy the ride.

The outcome isn't that important.

So that's why you left Dad and me?

Si Xian,

I've always wanted to find the right time
to sit down and talk to you about this,

but...

[Fu Ming Yu]

Hello?

Hello?

I'm going to clear something up with you.

Let's talk tomorrow.

In person. I need some quiet time today.

Okay.

No need to analyze anymore.

She definitely knows.

What do you mean?

What did she say?

She said we'll talk in person tomorrow.
