ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL
HIDDEN LOVE BY ZHU YI

Is this okay?

Yes.

Thank you.

Jiaxu, do you want some hangover soup?

I don't drink alcohol.

I don't need it.

It's late. You should go to bed.

I'll sleep after taking a shower.

Right, Jiaxu.

You need a towel



and other things.

Though your dad's condition is stable,

we must try to avoid repeated infections.

He may be sent to the ICU again
at any time.

JIANG YING: CAN YOU SHOW ME
A PICTURE OF YOU IN A GRADUATION GOWN?

SORRY, THAT IS AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST

WHY AREN'T YOU REPLYING? ARE YOU BUSY?

Why are you still up?

Jiaxu, why are you still awake?

I…

I'm not used to this bed.

I can't sleep.

Then why don't I wake my brother up?

You can sleep on the sofa in his room.



You liked resting on that sofa

during our tutoring sessions, right?

It's fine.

I'll go to sleep soon.

It's late now.

You should go to bed.

Are you upset?

That's not it.

Why would I be?

If you're upset,

you can tell me about it.

You might feel better afterward.

I won't tell anyone about it.

Not even my brother.

It's fine

if you don't want to talk about it.

I can just keep you company for a while.

Let me tell you a secret.

I have

plenty of debtors out there.

Are you in huge debt?

It isn't about money.

Well, I guess it is about money.

How much do you owe?

Is it a huge sum?

How do I put it?

Jiaxu.

Don't panic.

Once I grow up

and start making money,

I'll help you pay it off.

I'm not kidding.

I'm serious.

Sang Zhi.

Actually,

these aren't my debts.

You don't need to help me repay them.

So Sang Zhi,

after you start earning money,

buy some beautiful dresses for yourself.

Was Jiaxu pretending to be tough?

I've never seen him like this before.

Make a lot of money

and help him pay off his debts.

JIAXU

I'm taking a morning flight back to Yihe.

Please tell your parents for me.

Also, you should study hard.

Remember to update me with your grades.

Don't forget the promise

you made to me.

Does she mean the gifts?

Were you rejected again?

Fine, I'll stop talking.

I'll stop breaking your heart.

What did you say?

Duan Jiaxu got himself a girlfriend?

Really?

Isn't that great? He has finally done it.

Do you have a picture of her?

Show me what she looks like.

We can hold a celebration for him.

I'll hang up now. I'm having supper.

Bye.

Sang Yan.

Do you want noodles? I'll get you a bowl.

Does Jiaxu have a girlfriend now?

I guess so.

I just heard it from Qian Fei.

Hey, I got you a bowl.

JIAXU, I HEARD YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND

It must be fake.

It doesn't sound true.

It's possible that he lied to Sang Yan.

When you find one,

can you show her to me first?

Sure.

I'll show you when I find one.

I'll remember that.

JIAXU

You promised me.

JIAXU

Should I ask him in person?

Hello?

Hello, Sang Zhi?

Why didn't you go to cram school?

Look at the time.

I'm in Yihe.

Where?

Yihe.

Why did you go there?

My online boyfriend told me to come.

You…

Which part of Yihe are you in right now?

The airport.

Stay there.

I'll tell Duan Jiaxu to pick you up.

Listen up.

If you go to see
your so-called online boyfriend,

you'll be in big trouble
when you get back.

Hello, Dad?

Have you found her?

Yes.

Where is she?

Hello?

Zhizhi.

Zhizhi, didn't you promise us

that you would stay away

from that guy online?

Stop it. Just stop.

Zhizhi.

Don't run around in the airport.

Safety first, okay?

It's best to stay in areas

with airport staff and police around.

If someone tries to approach you,

you must go to the police.

Do you understand?

By the way, Sang Yan
will tell Duan Jiaxu to pick you up.

Be nice, okay?

Mom, Jiaxu is calling me.

Okay. Be careful.

Hello?

Where are you?

Exit 18.

Okay.

Sang Zhi!

Jiaxu.

Have you found her?

Didn't you promise me

that you would study hard

and wouldn't make others worry?

Online boyfriend?

Have you forgotten what I told you before?

You're all grown up now, are you?

How dare you travel so far by yourself?

Who is she?

Is she your girlfriend?

You promised to tell me first.

Why didn't you keep your promise?

Say something.

Jiaxu.

Don't speak so harshly to her.

Did he tell you to come?

Have you met him?

He doesn't like me.

He said that I'm too young.

Has he left?

Sang Zhi.

He did the right thing.

You're too young right now.

This isn't right. Got it?

But I will grow up.

Then let's wait until you grow up.

But when I grow up,

he'll fall for someone else.

That's fine.

Sang Zhi, when you grow up,

you will meet someone better.

I guess this lady

is your "someone better."

Sorry.

Sorry for troubling you.

I won't do this again.

You're no trouble.

Wipe your tears.

We were worried about you.

We were scared
that something might happen to you.

But now,

it's good that you realize your mistake.

Wash up in the restroom.

I'll take you out to lunch.

I don't feel like going.

I want to go home.

Even so, you need to eat first.

Give me your ID card.

I'll get a plane ticket for you.

Jiaxu, why don't I take her?

It's fine, miss.

I can go by myself.

I can take care of myself.

Here, get up.

The restroom is over there.

Go and wash your face.

I'll go get lunch with you

after buying your plane ticket.

Go now.

We'll have a nice lunch.

The kiddo is all grown up.

So different from before.

That's how young girls are.

They'll grow up eventually.

Don't be too worried.

Why did you take it off? Put it on.

I don't need it.

Where's the lady?

She's busy and had to leave.

Was I too harsh earlier?

Kids are forgetful indeed.

You're treating me like a stranger

after a few months away.

I'm pretty heartbroken.

How much was the plane ticket?

It didn't cost a lot.

The flight is at 1:10 p.m.

We still have some time.

I'll take you to eat something.

Let's go.

Eat something.

Are you sick?

No, it's just a cold.

I'm fine.

Are you really not eating?

It's a gift for you.

For me?

Can I open it?

So you still remember me.

I love your gift.

Thank you.

I'm going to take this.

I've picked her up.

All right.

Listen to your parents after you get home.

Don't let this affect your studies.

Okay?

You don't need to tell me anymore.

What?

You don't need to tell me anymore

if you get a girlfriend.

Isn't this the bear plushie I got for you?

It's for you.

I wish you

happiness every day.

You must stay happy too.

I'm going now.

Bye.

Go now.

Little demon.

Forget it. I'll spare you this time.

Let's go home.

Mom already told your private tutor
to take the day off.

But I can't help you

if Mom and Dad scold you later.

If so…

If so…

How about this?

I'll buy you a crispy taro-crusted duck.

But…

All right now.

It's just heartbreak.

It's not a big deal.

I'll buy you the last several volumes

of the comic you read, okay?

How about this then?

I'll find someone to beat him up, okay?

Not that either?

Good girl. I'm here for you.

I'm here for you.

Don't cry, okay?

It's okay.

You're back.

What's wrong? Are you cold?

Put on something thicker.

Wash up and come to dinner.

Go and get changed first.

It will be fine.

I know you're heartbroken.

But I need to remind you

of the severity of the situation.

Do you know how worried Mom and Dad were?

All right, little demon.

At your age, you should study hard.

Do not get into puppy love.

Besides,

you stole an ID card
to buy a plane ticket.

What if you had encountered a bad guy?

Stop playing dead. Give me a nod.

There was no online boyfriend.

I just wanted to ask him

whether he remembered

our promise.
