Episode 21

While Mingyue is away,

let’s interview your brother.

How long have you been

craving for the beautiful

and virtuous Mingyue?

Craving?

It feels good not to make your love public,

but not good enough

compared to a relationship.

Mingyue has shown her affection.

You should seize the opportunity.

Not public?

Hold on. Hold on.

She showed her love?

Didn’t she tell us

not to make it public?

You knew

Mingyue liked Ling Xiao, too?

For a long time.

I just want to make it clear with her

that I have someone I like.

Is that someone

Mingyue?

No?

You said you liked

a girl of a lower grade in high school.

Goodness!

Is it me?

Wait.

A girl of a lower grade in high school?

Who?

Why didn’t I know?

I’m done.

Already?

What’s wrong with Li Jianjian?

I think she’s still angry with Ling Xiao.

You agreed

to come back on her mother’s death anniversary.

Who is the girl?

Who?

You’re going to the studio?

Yeah.

Are you going to work?

Hmm. To work.

Isn’t it Sunday today?

I work seven days this week.

Oh.

Ling Xiao, you go down first.

I forgot my phone.

It’s in your hand.

Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao, calm down.

Ling Xiao.

About last night...

I was drunk last night.

Couldn’t remember anything.

I’m sorry for yesterday.

I didn’t control myself well.

But you know what I meant.

Think about it.

About what?

Have a little sense.

We’re brother and sister.

Though we’re not from the same blood,

we’ve eaten together and slept in one bed

since we were little.

We’re families.

That’s not enough.

It is enough.

I hope to be families

with you and Dad Li

legally

and morally.

Only if we get married

can we be true families.

Are you kidding?

How could we get married?

Break up with Zheng Shuran.

No. I’m not going to marry you.

Hello.

Mingyue.

How many days will you be staying at home?

Not sure yet.

Is everything alright at home?

Is there anything else you want to say?

Well, don’t argue with your mom.

Just let the nagging go in from one ear

and out from the other.

My mom asks me to shop vegetables.

Gotta go.

OK, OK.

Bye-bye.

We’ll have Japanese cuisine for tonight.

Great.

Let’s drop the things

at the studio

and go have dinner. And then the movie.

OK.

My feet ache

out of all the walking to pick your clothes.

Get in my arms.

No.

People will see.

No one is here.

By the way,

take one pack

of the facial masks home tonight.

It helps moisten your skin.

Thanks, Baby.

Put me down now.

It’s... Sunday.

Why are you here?

Sorry to intrude.

You don’t go out with Ran?

We just met a few days ago.

Come on, girl,

aren’t people in love

supposed to be together every day?

That’s unnecessary.

Haven’t you heard the love poem

of the School of Sculpture?

The love poem?

What is that?

Make a you

and a me

out of one piece of clay,

then break

the two of us,

mix together with water,

and make another you

and me,

so you’re in me

and I’m in you.

Ziqiu!

Not many customers today.

Even though, you’re not welcome.

Why do you still hate me so much?

Why do I hate you?

Don’t you have any idea

why I hate you so much?

I... I... I...

I don’t.

You come to my cafe each day

with different girls,

talking about breast, waist and butt.

How could I not...

Nowadays, slim figure is the standard

for beauty.

I just want to know girls’

true opinions

about their bodies.

I’m going to break the stereotype

of beauty with my new work.

You’re so full of these craps.

Got a silver tongue.

I don’t care.

Break up with Jianjian.

Or I’ll go to your studio

and smash all your stupid

sculptures.

Didn’t Li Jianjian tell you?

We broke up.

You broke up?

She has no feelings for me.

We have to.

So now

we’re back

to friends again.

You can pursue her now.

None of your business

when I pursue her.

You finally realize.

Realize what?

I noticed for a long time.

As her brother in your late twenties,

you don’t have girls

but meddle with everything

that concerns her.

Don’t run your mouth with Li Jianjian.

Beat it.

So grumpy.

Li Jianjian would be scared away.

Get lost.

Are you going or not?

Don’t be sad about it.

Let it be.

I’m not sad.

Just embarrassed

that I’m dumped so fast.

It’s humiliating.

I still think this is

too hasty.

Do you?

Yeah.

Well, look,

this place isn’t right.

The sun is baking.

It’s weird to kiss

in such environment.

Weird?

Maybe what feels weird are the people,

not the weather.

The people feel weird, too.

Look, over there...

Li Jianjian.

Let’s be friends.

Why?

It might be good for us to be friends.

It’s really weird

for people like our relationship to kiss.

This is my first love.

And it’s not been a month.

It’s not the recovery after childbirth.

Don’t have to be a month.

I think we

are not dating,

but having fun together.

And we do have fun.

I’m glad that we have fun.

But the fun we have after we built

intimate relationship

and the fun we have with a friend

are different.

We enjoy having fun with friends.

But lovers enjoy being together.

Look at you.

Your face

is extremely unnatural.

No.

Do you know

the difference between having fun together

and being together?

Yes, I do.

Maybe.

This is my fault.

I started this romantic relationship

so it should be me to end it.

We should cut the loss while we can

and be friends who never break up

and share the other’s aspirations.

Isn’t that good?

Well,

bro, a second chance?

No.

Try it. Close your eyes.

Too late. Listen.

I’m determined

to be single now.

Don’t touch me!

Hey.

Let’s paint.

Let’s paint.

That’s right.

I knew

you would break up.

Why?

I was serious.

It has nothing to do with

either you’re serious or not.

You two

don’t have the...

The vibe.

The vibe?

Yeah.

First,

lovers

care about their appearances

in front of the other.

Look at me.

I apply

facial mask each day

just to make sure

my skin is perfect when my date

gets close to me.

Second,

people in love

stick with each other every day.

Even after they get back home,

they maintain contact.

Once the other has the slightest

interaction with another man or girl,

they feel jealous.

Did you ever have such feelings?

Ran must have

found out the issues, too.

Lovers

feel nervous about

physical touch.

But,

they look forward to it.

Their bodies

get closer naturally

like being attracted by the other.

They would never

hate or reject the other.

As long as he’s by your side,

you feel peaceful

and happy.

It’s the

enormous,

and brimming

happiness.

Brother and sister can also feel that.

You think I’m talking

about common physical touch?

Would your brother kiss you?

Hey,

don’t you like

the Japanese drama

about the Zeus-Hera love?

Do I like Zeus-Hera love?

I like Katayose Ryota.

Well, you said you wanted a brother

like him

when you watched it last night.

Wait. Hold on.

I know each word

you said.

But I don’t understand

when they’re arranged in a sentence.

What does Zeus-Hera love mean?

Katayose... Rose?

What rose? Which one?

What’s so funny?

No food

in three hours.

Take fluid food only for a few days.

You might feel uncomfortable.

But it’s normal.

OK, thanks, Doc.

You’re welcome.

Follow me to get your medicines.

Hello?

It’s me.

Hey, can you please

get a new phone?

It’s so hard to contact you.

Have to go to your extension.

What is it?

I want to tell you a piece of good news.

Li Jianjian and her

so-called boyfriend

broke up.

Is that all?

Yeah, that’s it.

See you.

New uniform from the hospital.

I bring a set for you.

Thank you.

Put it there, please.

Brothers usually don’t like

their sisters’ boyfriends.

But the hatred you

and your brother have

is too obvious.

Ex-boyfriend.

Do you want to have lunch with me?

Let me take you

to a nice restaurant.

Xixi,

I showed my feelings

to the girl I love.

So soon?

Did she love you back?

Not yet.

She’s been playing one role for too long,

and needs some time to adjust

to another role.

Is it Qi Mingyue?

No.

Someone I don’t know?

You do.

You bought ice cream for her.

What? Your sister?

Childhood sweethearts. Two years younger.

I’m so stupid.

Xixi.

Don’t call me that.

God.

Who is this poor thing,

sitting

all alone here?

Sorry, not in the mood.

Why don’t you go home?

I don’t want to go home alone.

Why? Is there a ghost at home?

Why don’t you go to your brothers’?

I’d rather go to the ghost.

You fought with him again?

Which one?

Hey,

why do you always fight with them?

I don’t.

Don’t you dislike them?

You show your generosity

and take them in.

As an outsider, I can’t stop

a family from reuniting.

Besides,

you’re basically

the apple

of their eyes.

They’re flawless.

If you fight,

then it must be your fault.

You’re...

You’re so

unfair.

I’m absolutely just.

Don’t take your happiness for granted.

Come. Let me take you home.

You really want to pursue Li Jianjian?

You can finally face

the dirty desire in your heart.

Your desire is dirty.

It’s...

It’s easier for me to take care of her.

Don’t be shy.

I thought you were Ret*rded

in intimacy.

So you do like her.

Don’t you grow up together?

We didn’t see each other for nine years.

Nine years.

Besides, how could I know...

How could I know that

I had that feeling for her?

Right.

Absence makes the hearts grow fonder.

The first time I met her,

she was a little girl.

Now she’s grown up.

You’re precise about your position.

The married-in husband.

Beat it.

Do I buy you dinner

to let you mock me?

I’m not mocking you.

I’m happy for you.

As the saying goes,

a proud father and an outstanding son.

I’m the proud father, you know?

You take advantage of me?

I’m your father.

How are you going to pursue her?

If I had a clear idea,

I wouldn’t treat you barbecue.

No wonder you’re so generous

to treat me roadside barbecue.

You want my advice.

Miss,

a dozen of oysters and two kidneys.

Sure, one moment.

Save me some money, OK?

Tell me

what’s your idea.

I just think

if Li Jianjian and I get married,

we can be

registered in one household register.

Do you think

my previous relationship

with Li Jianjian is gonna

make it easier?

I think

your previous relationship

would stand in your way.

What if she only takes you

as a brother?

Do you think

it’s sick that I actually like

Li Jianjian?

What?

All right. No more laughing.

It’s not like you.

Why are you so ignorant

when it comes to love?

Shut up!

OK, OK.

I think

you should at least let her know

that you’re a normal man.

You mean I’m not?

I mean in gender.

You need to show

your charm as a man,

not just a brother who cooks

and buys bags for her.

Besides,

it often requires

a slight sense of myth for love to rise.

Look, you’re close.

I think

you should take the initiative

to break the existing tie

and make Li Jianjian realize

the love between you and her

can be more than families’ love.

Take the initiative?

How?

I want a piece of meat.

Help yourself.

I want meat.

Here. Take all of it.

Here. All is yours.

Well,

you need to do something out of the line.

Like what?

Beat it.

What a lame idea is that!

Get lost when you finish.

Um...

Have you met Zhuang Bei’s ex-girlfriend?

Which one are you referring to?

There are a lot?

Not really.

A few.

What kinds of girls are they?

Various kinds.

Someone like me?

Like you?

Everybody likes you.

Ignorant kid.

Sometimes, the prettiest girl

has no suitors.

Because they think you

must have many suitors.

Why don’t you just tell him

you have no suitors?

If I’m

as frank as you are

in love, I’ll be dumped sooner or later.

Got it?

Where is Jianjian?

Jianjian,

remember to go to hospital for review.

Xixi said

if there’s nothing wrong,

there’s no need for review.

He was just one day late

and missed your mom’s death anniversary.

You’re petty.

Your brother has severe anxiety.

He could...

None of my business!

OK, OK.

Not my business, either.

Does your mom

need my company...

Zhuang Bei
in these days

to...

He’s so annoying!

I must owe him in the previous life.

Hi

Is Mrs. Zhuang alright

Does your mom need my company
in these days to play Mario

Mahjong, play Mahjong.

Your information

about the hired staff in the station

Qi Mingyue
is helpful to my cousin.

When you’re available,

I’ll treat you for lunch.

Oh.

What are you doing standing over there?

What are you doing sneaking in?

I put half a water melon

in your refrigerator.

Come on.

Ling Xiao,

I... I took the day to think.

Any luck?

Yeah.

We lived together

and grew up together.

Our love

is strong,

stronger than some relatives.

No, it’s not comparable.

So you might have mixed love for families

with love for a woman.

I’m not you.

I won’t build a relationship

with someone who is clearly a friend.

I’m talking about you. Don’t drag me in.

Hey.

Think about it.

You lived

with your mom in these years.

So you may feel

a little bit guilty

for me.

And you

went to Singapore recently.

Did something

get on your nerves?

You just realize

you like me.

And you have anxiety.

Is it because...

In Grade 12,

I told you

that I would marry you.

That... That was kidding.

Then I decided

that I would leave

the heart of the water melon,

the rice crush at the bottom of the cooker,

the flesh by a fish’s gills,

the marrow in the femur

and Baozi’s stuffing for you.

You took me home when we were little.

And I’m yours

for all my life.

Sweet?

Peace?

I must owe him in the previous life.

What happened?

Hi, Mr. Ling.

Where is Mr. Li?

Mr. Li, Mr. Ling is here for you.

Haichao.

Give me a minute.

I’ll be done right now.

Just one word.

I need to go back

to my shift at the station.

Hurry.

What is it?

You asked me

to find He Mei, right?

I thought it’d be hard.

So I asked a friend.

She came back long ago.

Two years.

And she opened a beauty salon.

I don’t understand.

What a mom she is!

Two years.

And she never asked about

how her son was.

Later I’ll send

her address to you.

Good night.

She’s back?

Don’t wait up for breakfast

Gonna eat out Bye

Li Jianjian

loves those junk foods.

She must have gone to eat

that fried glutinous rice cake.

You spoil her

with your cakes.

I cut the sugar, OK?

I got up last night

and saw you were still up.

Did something in your trip back

get on your nerves?

Why do you and Li Jianjian

both believe something got on my nerves?

We know your mom.

You said your phone was smashed

and couldn’t call.

You booked a flight back

but didn’t come back.

It just gives us a feeling

that it’s not easy for you to come back.

So how did you

tell your mom?

I’ve no idea.

She couldn’t accept it at first.

And she agreed later.

She agreed that I could come back.

That’s it?

Would your mom k*ll herself

because you came back?

Your mom would do that.

My mom would never.

She’s very much alive.

Have you met your mom?

No.

I mean

that kind of people are tough.

Right?

She can have a better life

wherever she goes.

I wonder

where your mom is.

Maybe she’s married

and gave birth to a sibling for you.

Huli Building

Yisi Road Beauty Salon

Hello.

Hello.

Sir,

we don’t provide service for men.

I don’t come for that.

I just want to ask

if your boss is He Mei.

Yes!

Our boss isn’t here now.

Ms. He, this gentleman is here to see you.

I never imagined you would come.

How old is your son?

Four.

Old enough for kindergarten.

Four.

Best time to be playful.

You came back

and opened a kindergarten...

I mean a beauty salon.

Why

didn’t you tell me about it?

It’s not necessary.

We’re not close anyway.

I know I may

have disturbed

your life

by showing up just like this.

I just want to tell you

that Ziqiu is back from Britain.

He’s not leaving.

And he opens a cafe.

The business is good.

You don’t know

he’s a big man now.

He...

He’s as tall as I am.

And he’s good with

dealing with people.

Congratulations.

I didn’t tell him

about your coming back last time.

I come by this time

to ask your opinion

if I can tell him

you’ve paid back the money.

Your call.

It’s up to you.

Is that it?

Hey, He Mei,

I know deep in your heart

you love Ziqiu.

It must be hard for you

to have to leave him behind.

What happened back then

left a scar in Ziqiu’s heart.

He never talks about it, though.

I just want

to help him heal.

Well,

you may want to consider

meeting him.

Li Haichao.

You’re a good man,

but you’re also an idiot.

If it were someone else,

he would pray for me to die out there.

I...

I just want what’s the best for the kid.

You want it for him, too, don’t you?

Li Haichao,

an advice for you.

The others aren’t

as good as you are.

An idiotic good man.

I left

for my own happiness.

And I came back

for my own sake.

If we meet again on streets,

let’s just be strangers.

He Mei.

Wait.

Sir, faster, please.

You’re in a hurry?

Yeah.

Don’t look back.

Don’t look back.

Boss,

we run out of

Arabica beans.

And we need supply

of beans for

some hand-made coffee, too.

OK. Got it.

The power is down.

Maybe the electricity card is emptied out.

Where is the backup card?

In the drawer below the cash register.

Get it out and top up.

Is the power down?

I think so.

Top up the backup card.

OK.

Ziqiu.

Hi.

Why didn’t you

go to the kitchen and tell me you came?

Go back to your business. I’m OK.

All right.

If you want something to eat

or drink,

tell them

- to make some for you. - OK.

I’ve got cakes

in the oven.

Gotta take a look.

OK, thanks, Ziqiu.

You got it.

Why is Ziqiu

so nice to you now?

You’re the reason.

We’re down

to friends now.

Of course he’s nice to me now.

You told him

we broke up?

You... You haven’t?

I was dumped within a month

of my first love.

It’s embarrassing.

I was going

to wait for a proper time

to tell them

that we don’t work out

or something like that.

Little girl,

you have a big ego.

It’s humiliating.

First love.

No, no, no.

We did nothing

lovers are supposed to do.

What happened between us doesn’t count.

Otherwise,

I’m embarrassed, too.

You totally negated me.

What else then?

Look,

is there any difference between

what we did before we broke up

and what we’re doing now?

Right.

See?

Ziqiu.

I’m making cream flowers.

Come.

Wanna try it?

I can’t.

It’s OK. I can teach you.

Come.

Look,

hold the bag of cream with your right hand.

This is to squeeze the cream out.

Slowly. Slowly.

Well, use your left hand

to hold it.

Wrong direction.

Yeah, this way.

Squeeze.

And pull it out.

One more.

Ziqiu.

Yeah.

Did Ling Xiao tell you?

Tell me what?

How he persuaded his mom.

Yes.

He said she couldn’t accept it at first

and then she came across.

It’s impossible.

As far as I know about Ms. Chen Ting,

she’s the kind of people

who will stick to their goals.

Did anything

happen to Ling Xiao?

Why didn’t you ask him yourself?

We’re just talking.

You’re both men.

And you share a flat.

So you must share your mind.

You’re closer

to Ling Xiao all along.

You can talk about him for a day.

No, no, no, I never did.

You’re absolutely equal

to me.

Really?

Yeah.

In the first days when I came to the home,

you often dumped my belongings

in a suitcase

when Dad and I

were not home

and pushed it off from the slope by the gate

of the community.

When Ling Xiao

threw the walnuts you picked

out of the door,

you didn’t even get angry.

When was that?

You still remember?

Anyway,

you like Ling Xiao more.

Well, that’s because

Ms. Chen Ting

could never be my stepmother,

but Ms. He Mei

was so close to become my stepmother.

All right.

Oh!

Damn!

Ziqiu, hurry. Fix it.

I’m sorry.

Fix it!

There’s no remedy of it.

I need to reapply it.

It’s OK.

I’ll do it.

Why don’t you give this cake to me

so I can take it home?

I’m going back to Dad’s place.

To Dad’s place?

Yeah.

Is everything alright?

I want to keep him company.

Everything is alright.

I’m going back to Dad’s place, too.

I got something to discuss with him.

Great.

Take it back for me.

So I won’t need to come back for it.

I’m going to an art show

with Ran in a moment.

OK.

By the way,

drink a lot of water.

Careful of sunstroke.

Got it.
