Lost Romance (Lang Man Shu Gei Ni / 浪漫輸給你)

"Can't Bear to Forget You" by Ariel Tsai

I want to return to the real world!

There's nothing I'd miss here anyway.

My brother thought the loan sharks were causing trouble again.

That's why he accidentally hurt you.

I like Chuchu, so naturally I was looking forward to this date.

When she didn't come, I actually felt a bit relieved.

Since I couldn't return even after being determined to die,

then I can't give up.

Why are you working a part-time job?

Did you know that Royal Group prohibits working a part-time job?

If you perform to my satisfaction today,

I'll keep your secret.

Oh, right. Why are you short on money?

I... I want to buy a luxury bag.

I've never seen you carry a luxury bag.

It's because I don't have one that I want to carry it.

Meow!

Are you doing this on purpose? Meow.

Yes.

No matter how you put it, we're allies.

Why are you here to watch me embarrass myself? Meow.

Who said I'm watching you embarrass yourself?

If not, then what? Meow.

Can't I watch you be cute?

How am I cute? Meow?

Here, here, here, and here.

Are you ridiculing me?

No, I really think you're cute.

Even without the meows or the maid outfit, you're still cute.

Isn't the way you are right now great?

The lively Zheng Xiao'en who makes noise,

stirs up trouble, and glares at people.

You've already cried three times in front of me.

Three strikes and you're out.

In the future, you must make noise and stir up trouble like you do now.

You're not allowed to cry anymore, okay?

Thank you.

You're always by my side when I need it most.

Meow! It hurts!

Meow!

Meow!

I'm back.

Xiao'en. You seem very tired.

You don't look well.

Really? You think so too?

What do I do?

I made chicken soup for you. Drink that first.

Another bowl please. Meow.

I actually started having an occupational disease.

I meowed all night.

You've worked hard.

After work, I usually go to the hospital to take care of my dad.

Now my little brother took over the shift.

Oh, right. My brother also found a job during the day,

so that you won't be too exhausted.

What job is not exhausting?

I said it before, leave the money issue to me.

You guys don't have to worry about it.

Xiao'en, wait a little bit.

You work so hard, and there's not much I can do to help you.

I can only give you this.

What is it?

Vitamin B that helps you replenish your energy.

It also has three major beauty nutrients

that can make you look good from the inside out.

She even has the same vitamins as the CEO?

Girls should look good even when busy.

This has added vitamin C, which can boost collagen production.

You must remember to eat it.

Don't worry, I'll eat it well. I won't lose to you.

I met up with the CEO.

And then?

CEO isn't mad that I stood him up. Thank goodness.

That's not surprising.

Oh, right. What exactly did you tell the CEO that day?

- Me? - He even asked about you today.

What did he ask about?

He seemed really worried that you'd spread pneumonia to your colleagues,

so he asked to confirm whether you were sick.

In his eyes, I'm a virus strain.

I don't think he means it that way.

Xiao'en, don't misunderstand.

Based on my understanding of him, he does mean it that way.

You're done drinking the soup?

I'm full. This virus needs to be disinfected.

Xiao'en!

I'm joking. I'm going to take a shower.

I'm done for.

Doki-doki.

Make this food taste delicious.

Moe, moe , kisses!

Hey, could you help me with this?

Hello.

Master, your drink is here. I'll make it taste good for you now.

- Welcome home, master. - Hi.

- Meow. Long time no see. - Meow.

Things will be a little different today. We must hop over. Right hand!

Ready, set, go. Meow, meow, meow.

- Master, please have a seat! - Okay, thank you!

What would you like to eat today?

Where is Xiao'en?

She went to photocopy papers.

CSO.

Do you need to photocopy stuff?

The photocopier is broken.

Both photocopiers are broken? But I was using it just recently.

So it was you who broke them?

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

Thank you, CSO.

Excuse me.

The director said to arrange this properly in the order

of one, two, three, four, and five.

When you've properly arranged it, let me know.

Xiao'en, help me proofread this document.

Okay.

It's urgent.

Okay.

- I want to— - It's really urgent.

Understood.

Susan, I have a document here that needs to be taken care of.

Could you come up?

No need. I'll go down.

I happen to have something to take care of downstairs. I'll bring it to her.

What business do you happen to have downstairs?

You want to see Chuchu?

What's wrong? Isn't this the document you wanted?

Yes. Thank you, CEO.

Did the CEO take the wrong medicine today?

Why did he suddenly descend to the human world?

I don't know either. Maybe he's in a good mood today.

Why are there so few people in the office today?

Ah, Chuchu went to deliver documents to the manufacturer.

CEO.

So it was this.

I understand now. I should've known.

- Did it go well at the manufacturer? - Yes. It went smoothly with no issues.

- It's hot outside, right? - Thank you.

Oh, right. Why did you come here?

I happened to have some business so I brought documents on the way.

CEO, what are you looking at?

Or are you looking for someone?

Where is Zheng Xiao'en?

Where did she go during working hours?

Zheng Xiao'en went to meet with the manufacturer.

Is that so?

You all worked hard. Keep it up.

So he came to keep watch of Xiao'en.

Xiao'en is really unfortunate.

I never would've thought that in the CEO's heart,

she would still be on the dark side.

Comrade, you've worked hard.

Will we have to miss her again?

Xiao'en, hold on.

I have to work my butt off during the day and the night.

I'm going to have a sudden death sooner or later.

No. The romance novel world is still beautiful, right?

I can't die. I have to hold on. I have to hang on. I—

That's not right.

If I die, will I be able to return to the real world?

Will I be able to see Chuntian?

Hello?

Where are you? The CEO just descended to the human world.

He saw that you weren't at your seat and assumed that you're slacking off.

He seems really angry! Hurry and come back!

He's angry? I'm the one that's angry!

I'm already overworking myself for his precious darling.

He still has the energy to care about me?

Believe it or not, I'll—

I'll—

I'll come back immediately.

Why does he seem so familiar?

You also work here?

Yes.

Is Situ Aoran here?

The CEO?

Who is asking?

I am his brother.

He Tianjian! Remove the source of our troubles!

Did you forget what we did to his mother?

Are you okay?

Miss. Miss. Miss!

- Qingfeng? - What happened to Xiao'en?

I'm going to take Xiao'en to the hospital. Notify Situ for me.

Hey!

You won't even greet me anymore?

Hi, Qingfeng! Bye, Qingfeng!

Baby Situ!

Is your surname not Situ as well?

Although both our surnames are Situ,

it's still a bit different.

It's like how Duanmu calls you Situ directly,

but I'm only Situ's older brother to him.
