Do you know what area ratio means?
I don't know.
It means
all the areas in my heart are just for you.
As William Russell said in
"The Last Bookstore."
"Let me kiss you goodbye."
"Love is like a cold."
That's what it means?
Seriously?
Is that possible?
Of course.
Sister Mei.
What is it？
Are you happy?
Super happy.
But
it doesn't feel real.
Yun Shu.
Sister Mei,
there was a letter for you at the front desk.
I got it for you.
Thank you.
Look.
Its popularity is still growing.
I told you it would work.
What is it?
Sister Mei.
It's a lawyer's letter.
I'm being sued.
Come on.
Relax.
It's all your fault.
I told you I don't want to do this.
Are you terrified?
What are you terrified about?
I'm here.
Lu Yu.
- Look, that's Lu Yu.
- It really is Lu Yu.
- Lu Yu. Lu Yu.
I admire you so much.
Can you take a photo with me?
He's handsome.
So handsome.
You don't mind being exposed?
Are you giving me room to regret?
Judging from the lawyer's letter,
they are saying that you copied
publicly published essays and words
from Si Huanian, a writer on Weibo.
I wanted to put some catchy phrases
in my comic.
That's why I found some words
on the internet
and put them in the comic.
I wasn't aware that there would be a copyright issue.
What should we do now?
Let's do this.
Delete the comics we sent out.
And pause the rest of the series.
Sister Mei.
Am I really going to be sued?
Don't panic.
Why don't you go meet Counselor Meng
and see if he has any good suggestions?
All right.
- Sister...
- Can you let us finish reading this quietly?
Don't worry.
It will be solved.
Sorry,
I'm late.
Don't worry.
So what is he asking?
Delete Weibo, apologize publicly,
and 200,000 as compensation.
200,000?
Well, with an appartment worth millions,
200,000 seems like nothing.
Money is not the most important issue.
The most important thing is that publicly apologizing
would affect Yun Shu.
Yes.
If he's really suing
Yun Shu for infringement,
then apologizing publicly would be admitting plagiarism openly.
That would be fatal for a comic author.
Am I going to retire
after just one month in this industry?
- Stop the nonsense.
- You are in the mood to joke.
Can't you see we are all worried about you?
I didn't mean that.
If things could be solved liek this,
who would need a lawyer?
My suggestion is
that even if we are going to apologize,
we should show the public
what happened exactly.
We can't just let them
name you a plagiarist.
I, on the other hand, think
we should try to contain this thing.
The other party merely
sent a lawyer's letter through his company.
We should return one letter.
After some official procedures,
we'll see what the other party is going to do.
Yun Shu.
This is about you.
How do you want to solve this?
I don't really know what to do.
But
since I made a mistake,
I should be apologizing.
Yun Shu and I are on the same page.
No matter how we handle it later,
we still need to apologize first.
That being said,
nowadays, there are companies
behind Weibo's verified users.
They are expecting public stunts.
Now a chance just presented itself.
Would the other party let this go?
Have you tried to contact the other party?
I sent him several private messages.
He didn't answer any of it.
The last post was from half a year ago.
A post from half a year ago.
That means
he doesn't care for operations
or public stunts,
or he may have changed his profession.
We might be able to settle.
But we can't even get in touch with him.
How are we supposed to do that?
There will be a way out.
Yun Shu.
Keep sending him private messages.
The rest of us can try our contacts
and see if we can find Si Huanian
and get in touch with him
through his company.
We are all here.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
Besides, you have your sister
and Counselor Meng.
We are all here.
I just realized that
I’m very happy.
You are facing a lawsuit,
but you do still have your optimism.
You've been looking into my infringement case.
Although we have professionals
like your sister and Meng Ran,
it would be safer
if I know more about it.
Your cell phone just rang.
Si Huanian answered my private message.
And he agreed to meet up.
Really?
That's great.
Do you need me to come with you?
Don't worry.
I can handle it myself this time.
All right. I will tell you afterward.
- What a coincidence.
- Do you still remember me?
Of course.
I remember everyone I met.
I remember that
you have a good friend named Gao Zhiyi.
You have a good memory.
Did you ask someone to meet up?
You, too?
It's still early.
Since we keep encountering each other,
why don't I buy you coffee?
Okay.
Hello, Waiter.
Hello.
What would you two like?
One cold brew.
I'd like one latte.
The water temperature should be ninety degrees
and keep the pressure of steam at three bars.
The latter art should be pine-leave shaped.
Thank you.
Be back in a second.
Your way of having coffee is special.
I learned that from a friend.
I've been having it for years.
It's a habit.
That person must be important to you.
Is the person you are waiting for still not here?
I'll send her a message
and ask where she is.
Are you Si Huanian?
Are you Yun Shu?
Sorry.
I didn't mean it this time.
I really wasn't aware that
there was a copyright for the phrases.
I'm truly sorry about this.
Sorry.
I will never do something
like that again.
If you...
Sit down.
I thought it was something huge.
I asked you to come here today
to tell you
that I'm dropping the lawsuit.
Are you not suing me anymore?
Those works were just something
I wrote out of boredom
when I was abroad studying.
The agency called me
a while ago
and said that
someone was copying my stuff on the internet,
and they were going to send a lawyer's letter to defend my rights.
I was too busy,
so I agreed without thinking.
Yesterday, I thought about it,
and I went online right away
to check your comic.
I wanted to see how you copied my stuff.
But surprisingly,
I liked your comic
"Perfect and Casual."
Did you like it for real?
If it's okay with you,
I'd like to work with you.
If your comic
needs phrases,
I'd like to take part in the making.
This is great.
It'd be my honor.
For our special cooperation,
cheers.
Mr. Zhang.
I'm not being sued.
She dropped the lawsuit.
Then she's a nice person.
She's a
kind and beautiful lady.
If you are Mr. Perfect,
then she would be Ms. Perfect.
Too bad, you are spoken for.
So she doesn't have a shot.
Can you come down now?
Although, that beautiful lady
has a similar taste in coffee as you do.
Really?
Another thing.
Take less sugar.
It's bad for your health.
Did you hear me?
Is it sweet?
Yes.
The lawyer of their company has dropped the lawsuit.
And
I've signed a cooperation agreement
with her.
She's both beautiful and kind.
You have to grab this chance.
I will hold on to it tightly.
Lin Nuo got a promotion.
Let's get together this weekend.
Ask Mr. Zhang to come.
That won't be a problem.
But
don't you two need some private time?
Why ask us to come along?
Having some private time is good.
But the more the merrier.
Have you been fighting?
I don't know why,
but I feel weird
when I hang out
with Lin Nuo alone.
"Weird"?
Didn't you stay together all the time
before you got back together?
Yes.
Before we were together,
we wouldn't feel awkward even if we saw each other every day.
But now, whenever he kisses me or hugs me,
I...
I feel uncannily weird.
Like...
As if I'm in a relationship with you.
Do you know what I mean?
It is a little weird if you put it like that.
That's why, whenever he asks me out,
I would want to invite one more person.
With one more person,
it would be less awkward.
Lin Nuo.
What were we talking about?
Nothing.
I thought we were meeting up at the canteen.
What are you doing here?
I just got off the night shift, so I came here right away.
Oh, Yun Shu.
A few days ago,
I saw Grandpa Zhang at the hospital.
- Grandpa?
- Yes.
Yun Shu.
Let's have lunch together.
Zhiyi,
I have other plans later.
Maybe another day.
Are you sure you don't want to go?
I really do have other plans.
It hurts.
So you are sure you don't want to come.
I will not disturb
your world of two.
Why is this place so quiet?
Thank you.
Did you get your paycheck today?
Why did you take me to such a fancy place?
I said that I would bring you here a long time ago.
There's no time like the present.
Today it is.
- Hi. Would you like to order now?
- Yes.
I booked a package online.
Just serve it to us.
- All right. Just a second.
- Okay. Thanks.
Lin Nuo.
Why are you so generous today?
Say it.
Did you do something
that will make me angry?
Is that how you look at this?
Forget it.
We are not eating here today. Let's go.
I'm joking.
We are staying.
It's not like we get to come here all the time.
Here.
Zhiyi,
have you ever thought
about our future?
No.
Why think about things so far away?
Did you?
Sometimes.
I just think that
the city we are living in is so big
and everything is just so fast.
If it's possible,
I'd like to bring you back to my hometown.
We can start a small business
with the money I saved over the years.
We would be living the kind of life without fighting
or worrying.
Just a simple and steady life.
What do you say?
Are you talking about
leaving this city?
Yes.
No matter where we are,
I will be good to you with all my heart.
I will make you happy
when you are not feeling happy.
And if we need money,
I will make more money.
I will make your life easy.
Lin Nuo.
I'm deeply moved
by what you just said.
And thank you very much.
But
didn't we bust our asses off
just to stay in this city?
Since we've been doing this for so long,
why not hold on a little longer?
Sir, here's your food.
Thank you.
Who is it?
An insurance salesman.
He called a few times today.
It's okay.
Eat your steak.
This report is about a subject
from three months ago.
This is the newest data report.
After some comparison, we realized that
with the new algorithm,
the data of the subjects
showed big differences.
I think it's because, in the new algorithm,
we changed the cycle of heart rate
monitoring to three cycles.
Three effective cycles.
That caused a variation in the average value of the samples.
Yes.
That's why there are problems
with the data of the subjects.
Professor Zhang,
I heard that you and Ms. Lin used to be classmates,
and you worked well together
when you were in school.
We were in the same subject group
back in school.
You've been a campus legend.
They say when you two are working together,
nothing can stop you.
Ms. Lin,
are you seeing someone?
Not at the moment.
That's great.
Professor Zhang doesn't have a girlfriend, either.
How wonderful would it be
if you can pick up where you left off?
You will be the golden couple.
Everyone else will be envious of you.
I'm married.
Sinian.
People say that
university life without a relationship
is incomplete.
We are about to graduate.
Aren't you going to try it?
The prime time of a mathematician
is before he's thirty-five.
So before I win the Fields Medal,
I will not be considering
any relationships.
What?
Aren't you going to the lab?
Yes.
Let's go.
Sinian.
Chuchu,
is there anything else?
You are married?
Yes.
For how long?
Almost a year now.
Why?
No reason.
I'm just a little surprised.
Didn't you say that
you would not be considering
any kind of relationship
before you win the Fields Medal?
Yes.
That's what I used to believe in.
But when I met my wife,
I realized that
my idea was a little childish.
Life
is not always about choosing between two things.
Sometimes, we would gain more
by looking at things in another way.
I'm just curious.
I'm curious that what kind of girl
would push you into changing so much.
A girl who keeps making trouble
even if I move my eyes away from her for a second.
Yun Shu,
aren't you going to get your husband something?
Today is our shopping time.
You are right.
Chuchu,
I never pictured you
as a shopaholic.
There are two ways for women to let off steam
when they are in a bad mood.
One is eating like crazy,
another is shopping like crazy.
Since I don't want to gain any weight,
I just go shopping.
It's easy to make that happen.
So judging from our loot today,
you are in a really bad mood.
A little.
Is it about love?
Right on.
Chuchu,
someone as excellent as you
wouldn't have work problems.
So love is the only answer.
I just found out that
the man I love
is married.
Chuchu,
are you all right?
I'm okay.
There's another store up front.
We will fight to the end
today.
Chuchu.
How about a drink?
Okay.
So Chuchu,
is this person the Mr. Perfect
you mentioned to me?
Here.
We were college classmates.
And we were both on the debating team.
We went abroad for further study later,
and we joined the same institute
after graduation.
We used to
recommend each other books
and do experiments together.
Pretty much all the time.
You mean the books you recommended to me.
"Sophie's World,"
"The Conquest of Happiness" by Russell,
and
"An Invitation of Philosophy."
You remember them all.
I was going to check them in a few days.
Those are
the memories between him and me.
What happened after that?
I thought
it would last forever,
and we would get married sooner or later.
But then,
he returned to this country for some private business.
Why didn't you
come back with him?
I was doing a project
with my mentor.
I couldn't leave.
So does he...
Does he know how you feel?
I think he knows.
To think back,
my feelings for him started
from admiration.
And then
I realized
we have a lot of common hobbies.
And we were getting more and more tacit.
Later,
I realized that he's basically
kindergarten-level when it comes to love.
But somehow
I still loved him.
I thought I could keep waiting.
Does he know your feelings now?
The day he returned,
I went to see him off.
I really didn't want him to go.
I thought
I should let him know how I felt.
So I kissed him.
That was your first kiss, right?
Did you say anything to him that day?
No.
Why not?
He was in a rush to catch the plane.
We just separated like that.
Did you give up on him?
Of course not.
I thought we reached a consensus.
I didn't expect
that when I returned,
he would already be married.
Chuchu,
now I understand
why you
wrote all those sad phrases.
Yes.
I used all my time
on my education.
I hardly have any friends.
It was the same when I was abroad.
I spent all my time
with him in the library.
I thought
when he realizes his dream,
I could finally tell him how I feel.
But on quiet nights,
I would ask myself
if my insistence on him
is right.
So the phrases I posted online
are all my feelings.
Chuchu,
whenever you feel unhappy,
tell me about it.
Pinky swear.
It's a promise.
Why did you call me at this hour?
Do you know that Sinian is married?
Yes.
Why did he just get married all of a sudden?
Have you been drinking?
Have you met his wife?
Yes.
What kind of person is she?
She's someone
who makes people feel attached.
Just a second.
Honey.
Are you busy?
No.
I'm meditating.
I have a question.
But
it might involve your privacy.
Is it okay for you to answer the question?
Let me hear the question first.
Is your first kiss with me?
Of course.
And you are mine, too.
What's that? It's so hard.
Nothing.
Do you read this kind of book?
Since you called me honey,
I think our relationship
might transform from a romantic relationship
to one in marriage.
So...
So
I want to learn about it first.
It will help our relationship
in the future.
Then
I'll leave you to your reading.
Women are truly from Venus.
We've never stayed apart for more than three days.
You just forgot your old friend once you found a new one.
She just returned to this country.
She has no friends,
and she's in a bad mood,
so I have to stay with her.
You care about the newcomer
and don't for the people you leave behind.
I'm also in a bad mood.
Zhiyi,
don't be angry.
Next time when she goes shopping,
we'll go together.
No.
I don't want to be the third wheel.
Zhiyi, listen.
For me,
you are irreplaceable.
- The top of the list.
- What about Zhang Sinian?
He's not above you.
Hypocritic.
Zhiyi,
don't be angry.
Let's go have some delicious food today.
My treat.
I have classes later.
Next time.
- Let's keep a tab on that.
- All right.
No problem.
Get two records for today.
That's more like it.
Sinian,
what would you like for lunch?
Anything will be fine.
Oh, right.
The research report of the first stage is about to be ready.
Contact HQ as soon as possible
and ask the lab to check the results.
Okay
We can start the second stage of
sample research after that.
I'll check it this afternoon and send it.
Okay.
Sinian,
we should get together with Meng Ran someday.
Meng Ran?
And bring your wife.
I haven't met her yet.
Okay.
Be careful.
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
And then there was...
Mr. Zhang.
Chuchu.
- Yun Shu.
What are you doing?
What brought you to school today?
I came here to see Zhiyi,
and I thought I could pick you up from work.
Let me formally introduce you.
Yun Shu
is my wife.
How did you know each other?
Chuchu is
Si Huanian who I mentioned before.
So why are you together?
Chuchu is in charge of the project
I'm on.
We used to be classmates.
Let's make a schedule for dinner another day.
Yun Shu,
wait for me.
I'll go get the car.
Okay.
So Chuchu, t
he classmate you mentioned
is Mr. Zhang.
I never thought that
you would be Sinian's newly wedded wife.
I had no clue that
we were talking about the same person.
What a
coincidence. ng about the same person.
