Episode 8: Being stubborn is exhausting.
Shun Yu keeps drinking the alcoholic drinks that are being provided to Shang Zhou as ordered by Vice President Lee, but as the night grows older, so does his sobriety. When Shang Zhou notices Shun Yu’s level of inebriation and the efforts of other coworkers to set him up with women, he decides to take him away from the gathering. He then carries Shun Yu on his back and enters their villa while grumbling to himself that he will make him pay for it. After assisting Shun Yu in lying on the bed, Shang Zhou is pulled by him, and the latter ends up lying on top of the former. Shun Yu then pins Shang Zhou to the bed and rants about all of his work demands while staring at and occasionally stroking his face gently until he collapses on him. With Shun Yu motionless on top of him, Shang Zhou hugs him tightly and asks whether he is pretending to be drunk or pretending to be sober.
Shun Yu, who is now overcome with emotion, asks him why he would do anything for a simple secretary like him when he is the company owner. He flinches just as Shang Zhou is ready to kiss him on the lips after peppering his face with a kiss instead of answering his question. Then Shang Zhou rolls them over and kisses him deeply, ordering him to address him by his first name rather than president. Despite his initial attempts to fight it, Shun Yu eventually gives in and returns the kiss, continuing until Shang Zhou stops to let him breathe. He chastises him when he assumes that they may have shared alcohol residues through kissing after working so hard to prevent Shang Zhou from drinking. Despite admitting that he can control his drinking, Shang Zhou confesses that he refrained from drinking because he was worried that he might get horny and that it would be troublesome for the two of them. Shun Yu pushes Shang Zhou away when he tries to kiss him once more and questions whether he is doing it for him out of affection or simply for fun. He goes on to say that Shang Zhou must be doing it merely for enjoyment, which infuriates him because Shun Yu apparently believes that he will do anything for amusement. Shun Yu vigorously shakes his head when Shang Zhou asks whether he’ll allow anyone to touch him in any way simply because they are more powerful than him. With tears threatening to fall from his eyes, he voices out his wonder at why Shang Zhou would want someone who is not of the same social status as him. He then concludes bitterly that Shang Zhou is probably keeping him as a display and not because he needs him before he falls asleep.
