Episode 34

OK.

What did He Lan say?

Ziqiu knows everything

About you in jail.

♪ Dear ♪

♪ I feel tired ♪

♪ Sometimes ♪

♪ And I shed ♪
Where are you going?

♪ Tears ♪

♪ When I’m alone ♪

Ziqiu.

♪ It tastes of growing up ♪

You...

I told you I’m fine.

Why do you follow me here?

We were afraid you plunge into the sea.

♪ We cuddled ♪
When Dad called me,

♪ We cuddled ♪
I was frightened.

Ms. He Mei is...

So...

♪ Wherever ♪
So dishonest.

I can’t believe

she lied about this.

♪ You are now ♪
She’s an utmost liar.

Dad spread the words so fast.

♪ Let me join you ♪
It’s not a big deal.

♪ Let me join you ♪
You’re overreacting.

Not a big deal?

She never married again

and she was in jail.

My brother really

is Ms. He Mei’s son.

You’re both strong-minded

and ambitious under the calm exterior.

Ambitious?

Worrying maybe.

You’re the only two

in the world

that makes others worry like that.

Then should I say sorry?

Finally.

You finally know

the damage lies can cause.

Li Jianjian,

can you be quiet?

If you can’t,

cool yourself down in the sea.

Then let’s talk.

What’s on your mind?

Can you understand Ms. He Mei now?

I guess I can understand

her a bit.

Just a bit.

The part that she left

Ziqiu at our home.

I can’t agree

with the rest.

This is the difference

between people.

Some

would like to put their bets

on their children.

And others

choose to stay away

to protect themselves.

Since you said that,

I think

the second kind of people are better.

Of course.

Just a little bit better.

What’s your opinion, Ziqiu?

I’ve no idea.

I was abandoned

not because I was a burden.

When I found out that,

I felt relieved.

She isn’t married again.

I feel more relieved.

Her life is hard in these years.

I feel sorry for her actually.

But it’s pointless

either I forgive her or not.

I don’t hate her.

I don’t know.

Ling Xiao says you’re alike.

Because you have

the same logic.

Like before you went abroad,

you wanted to save money for the family

and you were afraid Zhao Huaguang hurt me.

You were playing a show

where you were the hero who saved all.

Can you please stop bringing it up?

I’m sorry, OK?

I’m really sorry.

Li Jianjian,

don’t press a stag at bay.

OK. You’re the boss.

It’s always Ling Xiao

who you like, right?

Always?

Since the first day

I met you,

you’ve been

following Ling Xiao wherever he goes.

You dragged me with you

to do bad things

and kept them from him.

You never beat him or yelled at him.

I’m always your victim.

Did I?

Did I? Maybe it’s not true.

Is it not?

Whenever you see Ling Xiao,

your eyes are like

blazing light bulbs

that is turned on.

You talk about him every day.

Like Ling Xiao is the best man in the world.

He is the best.

So are you.

No.

Back then,

it’s not romance.

I just wanted to be with him.

So you wanted to be with him.

What’s the difference?

No difference?

What do you think?

Disgusting.

Well, let’s add to your disgust.

Li Jianjian, you took off your shoes?

Do you know how stink your shoes are?

Stop. Don’t follow me.

You don’t wash feet for days, do you?

♪ I think of the first time I held your hand ♪

♪ You held me so tight
as if I was everything you had ♪

♪ One grows up gradually ♪

♪ While the other becomes smaller ♪

♪ Thanks to time ♪
What do you

plan to do?

♪ We meet somewhere in the middle ♪

♪ Good night ♪
I’ve no idea.

♪ Goodbye ♪

♪ My children ♪
I think whatever I say

or do now

is sympathetic to her.

♪ Maybe you’ll leave here ♪

It’s weird.

♪ Maybe the way home ♪
I think it’s good for all of us

♪ Will be longer and longer ♪

to maintain this way.

♪ Pacing ♪

♪ No need to look back ♪

Right.

♪ I will always be there for you ♪

♪ I will always be there for you ♪
Love

isn’t tap water,

♪ Looking afar when staying ♪

which you can turn on and off as you wish.

♪ With your shadow ♪

Dad,

you’re the one

who loves me the most.

Thank you.

You don’t need to say that.

Just don’t let me worry about you.

Chrysanthemum,

chrysanthemum on the travel.

To Syria?

Why don’t you send me there?

Who is home?

Dad Ling, you’re back.

Dad.

I passed by the noodles restaurant

and saw your dad and Ziqiu

talking.

So I didn’t go in.

Is Ziqiu all right?

Yeah, he’s fine.

Oh, are you taking

the traditional Chinese medicines?

Yes, I’m still taking it.

Does it work?

Yes.

Take it on time.

Um,

don’t eat those foods

that may cause allergy,

such as sea foods,

and the other thing,

like turnips.

Jianjian, keep an eye on him for me.

When the medicines run out,

I’ll take you for a review.

Right.

Did your mom say when

she’d leave?

I booked the flight on Sunday.

Right. Just stay a few days.

Her body needs rest.

She goes out

everyday

on wheelchair.

It’s a burden to you.

Dad Ling.

You’re more nagging than my dad.

Your dad is better.

Your dad is more capable than the cops.

He cracked the case.

Well,

are you living at home tonight?

Yeah, we stay the night at home.

OK, you have fun.

I’ll go upstairs and take a shower.

It’s a long day.

Your dad is getting old.

He begins to worry about us.

Let’s get married.

Get married.

Silly.

I should make enough money for a flat first.

Who wants your flat?

I want to eat fruit.

Mingyue, I’m downstairs now

to get your household register page.

Are you coming back soon?

Mom, I have night shift today.

Then I’ll go upstairs and get it.

Is anybody home?

No one is home.

Send me the password then.

Mom, why don’t you go back?

I’ll deliver it to you someday.

Mrs. Qi.

Tang Can?

You’re back so early.

I come back after work.

Great.

I’m asking Mingyue for access code.

I need to get something in her room.

Come. Let’s go up.

OK.

Gotta go. Tang Can is back.

Is it in the drawer by your bed?

No!

I’ll look around then.

The door is open.

Mom.

Mrs. Qi.

OK, thank you, Tang Can.

I’ll leave

after I get the thing

and clean her room.

Go do your own thing.

OK.

Hello, Mingyue.

Your mom is in your room.

Your household register

is in the office, isn’t it?

She can’t find it anyway.

See?

Notes are everywhere.

Hello, Qi Mingyue!

Come back right now!

Li Jianjian,

Mrs. Qi is flared up.

Mingyue is coming.

When will you come?

I’m downstairs now.

I plan to change my clothes.

I’ll go to the cinema later with Ling Xiao.

Wait for Mingyue

and come up with her then.

It’s scary up here.

Mrs. Qi, have some water.

Mom, what is it?

I left my household register page in the office.

Can you explain this to me?

Are you learning this?

Answer me!

I don’t want to take the civil service exam.

It was never my plan

to take the civil service exam.

Mrs. Qi.

Don’t be mad. Calm down.

You can ask her.

Did I ever

lay my hand

on her?

This is the apple of my eye.

You lied to me

on such a big issue.

I wasn’t going to

and I didn’t want to lie to you.

I really don’t want

to take the civil service exam.

I want to be a journalist.

It just takes two years in Beijing.

You still want to go to Beijing?

Mom, when I was in high school,

you told me

you wanted me to go to Beijing.

You said there were abundant opportunities.

Opportunity favors

prepared minds.

What can you do?

Two more years for nothing

and come back with an official position?

Who would leave the opportunity to you?

Why don’t you

use your brain?

Beijing gathers all kinds of talents.

What makes you better than them?

I can’t say I’m better.

But I’m not worse than anyone.

Since the day I went to school,

I never ranked lower than top five.

I won scholarships for three years in college.

Now I work on my own project.

My internal assessment is perfect.

What makes me worse than others, Mom?

Your ability to cope with pressure.

You’re perfect.

But in critical moment, you fail.

It happened

in the college entrance exam, didn’t it?

You scored fifty, sixty points

less than the mock exams.

You wanted to go

to the University of Political Science and Law?

You wanted me to go to that university.

I never wanted to go

to that college.

You want me to be a lawyer.

You want me to be a procurator.

You want all of that.

I never did.

What’s the difference?

Don’t you know your CEE scores?

Let me tell you the difference.

The difference is,

if it’s what I want,

I will succeed.

Will you?

With the five hundred points you scored,

you want to go to that college?

Mom, can you please

stop negating me?

You never

praised me

unless I ranked first in class.

You negate me on everything.

You don’t like the dishes I ordered.

You don’t like the clothes I picked.

Even my job,

my date,

and everything else

are not up to your standards.

Am I negating you?

I want the best for you. I care about you.

I don’t need it.

Your care

is the least thing I want.

Qi Mingyue,

do you have conscience?

I work tirelessly

and devote so much to you.

I raise you up

and provide you

a good environment.

Now you tell me

that it’s not what you want?

If it’s not what you want,

why didn’t you tell me

when I asked your opinion?

Did you ever ask my opinion?

Did you ever respect my opinion?

You talk about democracy.

But you’re tyrant in nature.

I shouldn’t have permitted you

to move over here.

Look at yourself.

What vices have you learned

from your friends?

Lying,

bragging,

offending the seniors,

and drinking.

You can scold me.

Don’t bring my friends in.

What? I can’t criticize them?

Am I wrong?

Were you like this?

Move back home

tomorrow

and focus

on the civil service exam.

Mrs. Qi, don’t be mad.

You can’t be serious

about one’s words when she’s mad.

Calm down. Don’t be angry.

You both calm down.

Mom, you never understand me.

That’s who I am.

I’ve always been like this.

I’m always good

at lying.

You want your daughter to be obedient.

I did everything

you forbade

behind your back.

You know why

I scored fifty, sixty points

less than mock exams?

Because I chose

not to fill in an answer sheet.

You’re lying.

I had no other choices.

Because I knew

once my score passed the bottom line,

you would make me apply that college.

So I chose

the stupidest way.

I will become a journalist.

I will go to Beijing.

I will go out there

and see the world.

I will go through the difficulties.

I will go through the sufferings.

I want to see

what I can achieve on my own.

I won’t listen to you anymore.

Good.

That’s good.

It’s OK. I’ll see Mrs. Qi off.

Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi.

Don’t be angry.

Mingyue...

She’s in fit of anger.

Is it true that she didn’t fill in

the answer sheet on purpose?

I never heard it from her.

You knew it long ago, didn’t you?

You help her lie to me?

No, for real.

It’s the first time I heard it from her.

Great.

How dare she did that to herself?

She’s got nerves.

Tell her when you go back.

I won’t buy the flat for her.

I’ll go back and assign the down payment.

She can go wherever she wants to.

Not to mention Beijing,

even if she goes to the North Pole,

I won’t say a word.

She and her dad

hurt my heart so badly.

Mrs. Qi, you misunderstand them.

Go back.

Your mom has left.

She asked me to tell you

she won’t buy the flat.

She’ll assign the down payment.

You can go wherever you want,

even the North Pole.

Is it true about the CEE?

You’re really...

A great woman.

Director Wang, I’ve considered it.

I want to be assigned to Beijing Office.

Your e-mail is sent.

I’ll continue to pay my rent.

Keep my room

for me.

You sure you’re going?

My director promises

to take me with him

as long as I apply.

When?

In October.

When I make up my decision,

the program will hire a new guy.

I’ll hand over my work and train the new guy.

How could she do that?

She chose not

to fill in an answer sheet.

How come she was so bold?

What if she didn’t pass the bottom line

for the first batch colleges?

What?

I guess she didn’t fill the answer sheet

in the last day’s exam.

Smart students like her

know how many points

they can score.

Is this the point?

The point is how dare she

chose not to fill in an answer sheet.

Shouldn’t the point be

that she’s too stupid?

She could have gone

to a better school of communications.

If she scored high,

she would have to go to law school.

So,

it’s the same with a lawsuit.

If you don’t

protect your own right,

others will

crush you.

You may end up with two choices.

Either you give up your right,

or you go to court with them.

In fact, if she could be

more determined in the first place,

she wouldn’t

end up in this situation.

If you still like her,

now it’s the best opportunity.

What are you talking about?

I come over to watch the game.

I’m over with her.

Buddy, this is to you.

It’s true. I’m here to watch the game.

Cheers.

Coming.

Come in.

What are you doing here?

To see Mingyue?

I’m here to watch the game.

OK.

Does he know about Mingyue?

So,

at this moment,

you should take the initiative.

Mingyue is the kind of girl

who fights

against those who like her.

The root cause is

that deep down in her heart,

she believes she doesn’t

deserve another’s love.

She chose not to fill in an answer sheet.

Goodness!

This girl has a mean dog in her heart.

Goodness.

It’s true. I’m here to watch the game.

Why didn’t you buy any fried peanuts?

You don’t eat snacks at night, do you?

I quit acting.

I can eat whatever I want.

I’m not bragging.

Even if I gain ten kilos,

I’d still be the belle of our museum.

Now I believe

that you have no feelings

for Zhuang Bei.

Look,

you don’t put on makeup,

or pay attention to your manners.

I believe no one here

is a man

in your eyes.

You’re right.

All of you,

I mean everybody,

are my buddies.

Are you unhappy?

No.

You are unhappy then.

You answered too fast.

Life is full of sorrow.

Only a tiny share is happiness.

Let’s cherish the happy moment.

Come on.

A drink. A drink.

Here.

Cheers.

Come on. Cheers.

Cheers!

Hey, Mingyue’s suitor.




Tang Can.

Are you drunk?

You know how many

calories this pack

of fried peanuts carries?

You can’t see it from there.

Except for three meals a day,

every handful of peanuts a day

for a year will gain you five kilos.

So many?

But I really

like fried peanuts

very much.

Just take it.

What’s the problem?

Why are you sobbing

all of a sudden?

Mingyue’s mom doesn’t like me.

She looks down on me.

Because I run others’ errands.

I fail in auditions.

I don’t have a stable job.

I spend money unwisely

on useless things,

especially on clothes.

I bought so many.

And I’m in a cold w*r with my parents.

Even I despise myself.

I think I’m like

hazardous waste.

The only strength in me is

I’m slim.

Being slim isn’t a strength.

But I still want to eat

fried peanuts all the time.

It doesn’t matter.

You’re not an actress anymore.

You can eat as much as you want.

You’re gonna be fine.

Don’t cry.

Qi Mingyue’s mom doesn’t like you.

You don’t like her mom.

What’s the big deal?

Look, you’re good.

Pretty and kind.

My mom likes you very much.

You’re a star

in her mind.

Shut up.

Don’t say the word “star”.

I hate others say

that I’m a star.

Oh, I mean

you don’t have

to punish yourself

for others’ judgment.

I think you’re great.

Really.

Fine words dress ill deeds.

Though you never said it,

you despised my work, too.

I never despised your work.

God, you misunderstand me.

Never mind.

It doesn’t matter.

Anyway,

you’re my buddy.

I can’t cry.

A director in our museum

likes me.

If my eyes swell up,

I won’t be able to put on makeup.

I weighed myself today.

I gained three quarters of a kilo.

All right. Look.

A diversion for you.

I’ll do a magic. Look.

Watch closely.

Come on. Look.

Do you believe it that I can

eat it and take it out behind my head?

You don’t?

Watch closely.

How silly it is!

I’m not a kid.

Hey, I know another trick.

It’s real.

Look.

I won’t.

Look. Look.

Look closer.

Closer.

Focus on my mouth.

Look.

You’re disgusting.

What is that?

I know another trick. I’ll show you.

No, I won’t. Forget it.

I’m done.

Really. Take a look.

And this.

Stay away from me.

Let me show you.

Forget it.

It’s real. Take a look.

Time Gap

Wanna hear some advice?

If I may,

I suggest that you adopt

hard lines

with sharp points.

That makes it sharper and more critical.

I have to disagree

with you.

I think gentle lines

make its body chubby

which makes people want to protect them.

It won’t be artistic,

but too business-oriented. Petty.

It’s a non-profit program.

Whatever you say.

Right.

Yufei is going to work

with a gallery in Shanghai

to hold an exhibition themed

Everything in Dreams.

You know?

I don’t.

He invites me, not you?

It’s normal.

You’re an artist.

I’m nobody.

Li Jianjian.

What did you buy?

It’s heavy.

Thank you.

My goodness!

I bought some local specialties.

Ling Xiao’s mom

is going back to Singapore.

I think I should buy some

for her to take back.

My boyfriend Zhou Miao likes this.

You buy some for him.

Niggard.

Zhou Miao went to a group blind date.

You still want to go back to him?

That girl likes him

and pesters him.

I can’t help with it.

My boyfriend is so perfect.

I like Juan’s altitude.

Love should be crazy

and blind.

We should have the courage to give up all.

Right?

Unlike you.

Your love relationship

is so plain.

You haven’t been in love like fire

and you’re like senior couple.

You even buy local specialties

to play up to your future mother-in-law.

You’re lame.

Right.

I think you’re bound to be together.

Consider it.

Let it cool.

Give it to Dong later.

It’s too hot for him.

You can eat now.

Is there anything Dong can’t eat?

No.

I don’t see scallions.

You want scallions?

I remember

you didn’t like scallions.

So I didn’t put any for you.

You remember?

A cook’s habit.

I went through the album.

I never imagined

Ziqiu liked basketball so much

in high school.

Oh, I...

I wasn’t prepared.

Look,

I’ll tell Jianjian later

to make

a copy

of the photos for you.

Thank you so much.

Don’t mention it.

Well, I’m just glad

that you come across.

In the past, I believed

it’d be the best if I didn’t contact him.

I thought about it that day after I went back.

You’re right.

What’s best for him

is to be good to him,

and to care about him.

Maybe

he doesn’t need my care anymore.

But knowing that someone is caring him

is much better than feeling he’s abandoned.

Yes. Right.

You made me realize it.

But

I really don’t know how.

After all, I don’t know Ziqiu

or what he likes.

He...

He likes to buy things for the family.

He bought the new fridge

and air-conditioner

at home.

And he buys several bags for Jianjian.

That kid

asked my permission

to marry Jianjian.

He and Jianjian?

I guess he

feels unsafe.

Only when we

are on the same household register

can he feel relieved.

All right. Let’s drop it.

Try the dishes.

See if they’re to your appetite.

Try some.

Oh, the chopsticks aren’t served.

How are you going to eat this?

Thank you.

Tastes good.

Dong, you mean

it tastes good?

I see.

You

like the fish ba*ls I made for you

last time, right?

OK, OK.

If you like them,

I’ll make more for you.

Here. Eat your noodles.

Great kid.

Take a look. Look.

I know.

They’re just

having noodles in the restaurant.

Not just that. They’re bonding.

What bonding? Take it away.

Don’t you think it’s a little

bizarre over there?

What’s so bizarre?

They’re both middle-aged.

Do you think they two

would fall in love?

It’s totally possible.

Look, look. Take a look.

No.

Ziqiu, Ziqiu.

No.

Don’t play this trick on me.

If you wanna be cute,

show it to your boyfriend, Ling Xiao.

Don’t waste your breath with me.

I want desserts.

Help yourself.

Only two kinds?

Because I only made these two.

Is it a fast food diner?

Except tiramisu,

it’s sandwich.

Because no one buys other desserts I made.

The fast food I made

sells well, don’t they?

Boss,

two sandwiches

and a fruit salad.

OK. Do you want salad?

No.

Go make salad.

I’ll continue with my design.

All right. Help yourself.

Xiao Mei

Hello, did you have fun?

Ling Xiao.

Can you come

to the apartment you rent for us?

You’re back?

Aren’t you supposed to be back tomorrow?

Come and talk to Mom.

She doesn’t listen to me.
