[Meet Yourself]

[Episode 39]

The village council is right here!
[Meeting room]

You could always come here and consult.

What did you do?

You picked a time
when we went out to have a meeting

and Hongdou's boyfriend was away.

You made trouble at the construction site.

What on earth do you want?

We didn't make trouble.

We just...

want to hear the truth from her.

What kind of truth?

You could talk to the council.

Instead, you chose to bully a girl.

Shame on you!

Think about your daughter.

What if someone did this to her?

And you!

Why don't you just take my position?

That way, you can take whatever presents

Xie Zhiyao sends.

I was out of my mind.

I didn't mean it.

That's rumormonger! Do you hear me?

We've explained to
you so many times

why we don't support your start-up.

Did you even hear?

You're running a guesthouse

using your residence illegally!

You didn't even get a business license!

If you insist on running it,

any risk of safety
disaster is beyond you!

How is it possible

for us to provide a loan guarantee?

It's the council that decides this!

What is Xie Zhiyao? He has no saying at all!

Calm down.

Listen up.

Delete the video clip on your phone.

If it spreads out,

no one will ever do business with our village.

Over the years,

Xie Zhiyao works so hard for our village.

He contributed a lot of money

to the road and the bridge construction.

You know it perfectly!

He's got commendations for this.

If he really wants to monopolize,

he'd take the investment abruptly.

But that's not what he wants!

Stop praising him.

No one would give up his interest.

It's not about praising him.

According to the potential investor,

the village will go through

comprehensive commercial development.

That way, our village
will be a replica antique.

It would be t*rture

to live in a place like that.

In the end,

we'll be flooded with retailers and tourists.

Our advantage of
pristineness would be gone.

What's more,

recite the words from the meeting yesterday
to their faces.

The town government said

we can only develop tourism

on condition of the three protections.

To protect the environment,

the cultural features,

and the living quality of the residents.

We must avoid developing disorderly

in pursuit of profits.

We must follow the idea
of sustainable development.

Whoever the investor is,

whoever it is starting a business,

they must follow these principles.

We can only approve reasonable requests.

It applies to everyone
with no exception at all.

Look at the guestrooms we have.

They all signed leases with us,

for example, agreements for general sanitation

and no disturbing.

Apart from these files,

there are other verbal agreements.

Do you understand?

I don't.

It's all right.

I've recorded what we just said.

I'll send you a copy.

And I'll transfer it to
everyone who showed up

at the construction site.

Listen to it repeatedly.

You'll get it sooner or later.

All in all, just like
what Director said,

apologize to Hongdou.

What you have done
is not decent at all!

But,

look at my arm. They beat me.

It's inflamed.

And here.

Shouldn't they apologize to us?

Right!

You were causing troubles
and ruined their gate.

Their measures are justifiable defenses.

If they called the
police, you'd be detained.

Anything else?

Think about an apology.

What were you thinking?

Dismissed.

Hello?

We will need 250 more bricks.

Is there enough in stock?

When can you deliver them?

Okay.

Please get the product number right.

Thank you.

Grandpa Yang.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

How dare you!

How dare you show up here?

We're here to apologize!

I'll... I'll beat you up!

This is your lesson.

Granny Yang.

Where's Granny?

She left with Hongdou.

Okay. Thanks.

No problem.

This morning,

it was weird when I saw Grandpa Yang

showed up.

I thought he was
there to make trouble.

He sat there all day
except for lunchtime

when he went away briefly.

He went back soon after that.

But he didn't say a word.

I made him some
tea and he took it.

Once those men showed
up, can you imagine?

Grandpa Yang rushed
out with his crane.

He's free.

That's why I asked
him to keep guard.

Thank you, Granny.

I can always count on you!

You bet!

You are!

But Yao doesn't think so.

He thinks I'm useless.

Yao?

Yeah.

He's a know-it-all.

He's lightning. He's light.

He's the only fairy tale.

He'd take up everything on his shoulder.

Don't be angry at him.

I talked to him this morning.

How is that possible?

Granny, don't console me.

I won't.

Ignore him as you want.

Just don't get angry.

How could I?

You see his duplicity!

Now he's started it.

What could I do to correct this?

I'll help you.

No way.

You'd be on his side.

I promise.

I will give him a lesson on your behalf.

For real?

For real!

Helping you

and helping him are the same thing.

Here.

Try this.

Granny, come on.

You're so sweet.

Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou.

Xu...

Mr. Hu?

What's wrong?

Xie.

What happened?

My mom said,

my dad...

What about him?

He wanted me to come home
for New Year's Eve dinner.

You scared me a lot.

Come on, Xie.

Come here. Stay with me.

But...

What about tomorrow?

Now is the time.

This is very important.

We need to talk.

Come on, sit down.

Fine.

Go ahead.

I'm afraid

I'm in love with her.

Which one is it?

There are many girls.

I'm serious.

I only care about Manjun.

And?

How should I tell
my parents about it?

Why would I know?

No, no.

It's been a long time.

Finally, I get to eat at home.

If I told them about her,

they would never agree to it.

Right?

My dad is in poor health.

I'm afraid upon hearing it, he'd...

Hold on a second.

Has Manjun agreed
to your proposal?

Not yet.

What's your problem?

Nothing is going on.

Stop wasting my time.

Hold on, Xie.

Please.

Listen to me.

I want to plan in
advance just like you.

Okay?

I want to

clear the way for love.

Yeah, she's keeping a distance from me now.

Go on clearing it if you like.

We're both alike.

The door is unlocked.

Come in.

How can I help you, President Xie?

Letter of Apology.

Dear Ms. Xu Hongdou.

Hello.

I am writing to sincerely apologize to you.

I am sorry.

After reflecting on
myself for the entire day,

I have realized it all happened

because of my
self-approbation, arrogance,

and complacence.

This creates a rift
in our relationship.

If I don't correct
it, it will lead to

a serious trust issue,

which will threaten
our relationship for sure.

As the saying goes,

as you sow, so shall you reap.

If I doubt you now,

it might result in catastrophes.

As a result, please allow me to

apologize from the bottom of my heart.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done it.

If I have the honor to be forgiven,

I promise my absolute loyalty to you.

I will hide no secret from you,

including my work, my life,

and my mental activity.

I request to

build an equal, friendly relationship

with mutual assistance.

P.S.

I will take full responsibility

for all the emotional losses

this concealment incident might have caused.

Yours, Xie Zhiyao.

I acknowledge your request.

I will deal with it ASAP.

Anything else?

That's all.

Have a pleasant night.

Good night.

Ms. Xu.

Please deal with it
as soon as possible.

Good night.

What's up?

Let's do something bad.

Something bad?

Let's go.

This is it.

Right here?

What are you looking for?

Video cameras.

I've cased it.

There's none.

You're good at this.

Come on.

Here.

Make it big.

I want a large sign.

I saw his face!

He was furious.

I'm sure he knows who painted on his door.

So what?

He wouldn't go after the suspect.

Among so many
doors, why did his door

become the target?

After this incident,
everyone knows

he's behind it.

Exactly.

The suspect went to
town to buy the paint.

The camera there captured him.

Still, he thinks himself clever.

Everything happens for a reason.

He deserves this punishment.

Aunt Gui.

I am working!

Baoping.

Am I working or not?

Yes, you are!

Working while talking.

Ms. Xu Hongdou.

What about my apology letter?

Going to Beijing?

Put it down. I'll help.

It's okay.

It's not heavy.

Leave it to me.

Why go back to Beijing suddenly?

It's a long story.

I haven't given up my place in Beijing.

The water pipe leaks.

The water flooded my neighbor downstairs.

The landlord just called me

and asked me to go back.

He's there with plumbers.

All my belongings are there.

I must collect them.

That's urgent.

I'll go with you.

Don't.

We need you at the construction site.

How about driving
me to the airport?

Sure.

Okay.

The flight is at nine.

Sure, let's go.

Your phone.

Let me answer it.

Li Qing, what's up?

Aren't you visiting the
college with Ms. Xie?

Why are you crying?

Calm down.

Is Yue with you?

Put her on the phone.

What happened to Ms. Xie?

What?

Which hospital?

Okay. Don't panic.

I'm on my way.

Wait for me.

Yeah. Bye.

Hongdou, I can't drive you to the airport.

I need to get to the hospital.

I'll get a cab to send
you to the airport.

Wait.

What happened?

It's Ms. Xie.

She's having a heart attack.

She's in hospital now.

Calm down.

I'll cancel my flight.

I'll go to the hospital with you.

You cannot drive like this.

Give me the key.

I'll drive.

Let's go.

Yue.

How's Ms. Xie?

The doctor said she was out of danger.

But she hasn't woken up.

Why did she faint?

The doctor says

it's because of excessive fatigue.

Relax. She'll make it.

President Xie.

Hongdou.

The restaurants are closed.

I get you some soy
milk and stuffed buns.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Anything will do.

I'm getting in.

Thank you.

What about your place in Beijing?

Leave it be.

The landlord is there.

My belongings are soaked already.

She's more important than my property.

Thankfully, I've got you.

When I got the call,

I panicked.

That's why we need a partner.

You stand in front, guarding me.

I've got your back.

You can take a break.

Would you please

share with me some of your burdens?

Have faith in me.

I hear you.

Your apology letter is approved.

Thank you.

No problem.

Harley Davidson, Sportster.

X48.

A nice motorcycle.

But the fuel range is bad.

Thank you for the lift.

It was fun tonight.

Take care.

Goodbye.

Yu?

You're still up.

I left the door open for you.

Take your seat.

Where did you go?

I went camping.

Who was it on the motor?

A boy I met at the camp.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

No, it's not.

I need to tell you something.

Is it about your family?

It's about me.

Go ahead.

I lied to you.

Actually,

I'm not gifted.

No way!

I love Wind, that song you wrote.

If it wasn't for the song,

I wouldn't be here at all.

I didn't write that song.

Well.

I wrote the lyrics.

But the music

was from a friend.

The original music

was in poor taste.

Maybe,

at best, I can only make

catchy songs like
Oh, Lonely Men.

The kind of talent appeals to you?

I don't have it.

I know it.

I'm not smart enough

to fool you around.

You'll find it out soon.

Or maybe,

you know it already.

Instead of being exposed,

I'd rather confess it myself.

For your reference

as you measure.

Measure what?

Don't you have a reference

to measure your potential partners?

For example, his talent,

income,

age, personality, and
other requirements.

Right?

Am I...

under your consideration?

In my mind,

you're my goddess.

I mean it.

You're a goddess

holding the torch high,

showing me the
way, telling me that

you need self-respect,
self-esteem,

don't look down upon yourself,

don't be arrogant.

From now on, I
believe in no one else

but you.

It's just...

I'm afraid you don't like me.

What's your opinion?

Yu, to be honest,

I think you are talented.

Otherwise, you would have given it up already.

I see your enthusiasm.

Well,

maybe you're not what
we define as a prodigy.

Still, you are talented
to a certain extent.

I'm no goddess.

If anything, I am
older than you are.

I've witnessed more.

I'm more experienced. That's all.

There's something I
want to tell you tomorrow.

But now we're talking.

I'll tell you today.

I'm going back to Beijing the day after.

Why?

I find a job as an organizer.

Look at me.

I've been a housewife for years.

I'm good at this.

This job suits me perfectly.

And the company wants
to register there soon.

What about me?

We can text each other.

Can we still meet?

If you come to Beijing, call me.

I'll treat you to a meal.

Yu.

I really enjoy my days here.

When I'm away, keep
up with your music career.

Wherever I am,

I will cheer for you.

I've always got your back.

♫ I always long ♫

♫ for my goal ♫

♫ But the harder I seek it ♫

♫ the clumsier I become ♫

Time to sleep.

♫ My panic ♫

♫ It is witnessing ♫

♫ But it never speaks ♫

♫ Some people stop ♫

♫ Some carry on ♫

♫ Wandering ♫

♫ Our life is like a house
while the days are like windows ♫

♫ capturing fragmented stories
in our daily life ♫

♫ Oh, each window ♫

♫ People ♫

♫ are always so forgetful ♫

Ms. Xie.

Auntie.

You're awake.

How do you feel?

Yao.

I'm here.

When I'm gone,

don't be sad.

I live my life for myself.

I have a full life

with no regret.

Auntie.

You will be fine.

Auntie.

Auntie!

I thought you were at the construction site.

I'm here to check on Ms. Xie.

Auntie.

I told you.

You need rest.

Yet here you are, at the embroidery workshop.

Please take good care of yourself.

You can only make more embroideries

if you are in a good health.

You'd lose it
all if you are ill.

I can't always stay in bed.

I've recovered.

I just want to take a
look and stay in the sun.

It's good for my health.

Li Qing is so strict.

She even forbids me to pick up the needles.

What did you make?

Fish soup.

I leave some for you at home.

We can eat together.

Let's share it.

It's too much for me.

Not at all.

Take your time.

For breakfast,

you always have buns and porridge.

You need nourishment.

If I had known it, I'd
have asked Li Qing

to take care of you earlier.

That day in the hospital,
when you woke up,

you held my hand and
said Yao, if I'm gone,

don't be sad.

You scared the hell out of me.

My mind wasn't clear.

That was my first time

to know someone who has no regrets.

Is that for real?

Just one thing.

What's that?

When I was young,

I used to be passionate.

Edward wrote me a letter,

saying that he was getting married

and he wished me happiness.

I didn't reply.

Edward?

Her ex-boyfriend,
the French painter.

I wish I had replied to him and told him

that I wish him happiness, too.

Auntie Huailan.

I found you love struck.

I love that story!

What are you talking about?

What does love-struck mean?

It means when you fall in love,

you'd lose your mind
and stuck in it helplessly.

Aren't you the same?

Of course, I am!

I am typically love-struck.

Let's eat.

♫ Do you ever feel alone? ♫

Damai.

What's in your luggage?

It's so heavy.

President Xu sent
me a whole ham.

And Nana sent me some cheese.

Cuo Bazi.

There you go.

Why stuff them in the luggage?

They could send a delivery.

Good to go.

The pet logistics vehicle
is at the parking lot.

Okay.

Nana.

Don't forget about the tasks tomorrow.

When the boards arrive,

check the product number and the color.

Double-check before they are discharged.

What else?

Check the number.

Take videos.

Right!

If anything goes
wrong, just call...

Call Xiaochun.

You'll only stay in Beijing for a few days.

Have faith in me.

I can handle it.

Okay.

We're leaving.

I got this.

Let me take it.

Steady.

Leave it to me. Go ahead.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Sure.

Just go.

Come on.

♫ The sun will rise and fall ♫

♫ It's just another day ♫

I really miss the busy streets.

I've only been away for a while.

But this time,

Beijing looks so bright to me.

It's lively,

solemn,

and beautiful.

Are you here on a business trip?

Honeymoon.

Newly-married?

I can tell you two
are a perfect match.

Happy wedding!

Thank you.

Any plans for sightseeing?

Not yet.

Any suggestion?

As the capital city,

Beijing is full of fun places.

It's widely known.

There are the Imperial Palace,

the Bird's Nest Stadium,

and Sanlitun.

In the morning,

you could go to Tian'anmen Square

to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

In the afternoon, you
could visit Badaling.

Then, you can spend the night

with your wife at Nanluoguxiang.

There are so many places to go.

It all depends on you.

Great.

We'll look them up.

By the way, the hotel you choose

lies by the subway entrance.

It's very convenient.

Hongdou.

We've arrived at the hotel.

I've never seen the hotel
from this perspective.

I worked there for so long.

I never knew what it looks like.

I passed it by several times.

But I never got in.

♫ The sun will rise and fall ♫

♫ It's just another day ♫

Stop staring.

Let's go.

We're here to check in.

Good evening.

Manager Xu!

Manager Xu!

It's been a long time!

How are you doing?

We?

As usual.

And you?

Which hotel do you work in?

I don't work in hotels.

I'm running a guesthouse in Yunnan.

That's like a dream!

No wonder you resigned.

You look different!

So spirited now!

Really?

Are you two together?

Yes.

This is my boyfriend.

Hello.

Hi.

I booked a room.

Xie Zhiyao.

Okay.

Manager Xu's boyfriend!

I'll check you in now.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

The room looks nice.

Come on, get up.

Your clothes must be dirty.

Take a shower and
change your clothes.

Come on.

I'll get them washed.

We can wash them at my place.

The laundry here is expensive.

Don't be stingy.

Your place was flooded.

You can't live there.

Forget about it.

Go take a shower.

Come on.

Fine.

I hear you.

Take a shower.

I'm done.

Have you dried your hair?

Come over.

Let me check.

No.

You didn't blow dry it.

Come on.

I'll help you.

Aren't you tired?

I am.

But you'd catch a cold

if you don't get them dry.

♫ I've been alone in the unknown ♫

Xu Hongdou.

Tomorrow...

♫ I'm searching for a meadow of mine ♫

♫ Till you came in with the breeze ♫

♫ A feeling rushes over me ♫

♫ spills my heart into the field ♫

♫ I know it I will be yours ♫

♫ Would you ask for any horse ♫

Good night.

What time is it?



Not in a hurry.

♫ any horse but this one inside your heart ♫

♫ I'll give you the saddle of my heart ♫

Come in, please.

It looks all right.

I thought it would be worse.

The landlord has cleaned it.

I was worried about my clothes,

books, and appliances.

Well.

We could put some of them on the resale market.

Throw the scarps away.

Let's start.

Do you have duct tape?

Yeah.

Thankfully, I'm here with you.

Packing them up would
take you a long time.

Besides,

I'd be worried if you
come here on your own.

Why is that?

You arrived in Beijing alone.

Now you're leaving this city.

On your own? It's would sad.

You're overthinking.

I feel different after
landing in Beijing.

What do you mean?

I'm in a different state of mind.

I don't ask for anything here.

It's a relief.

I feel there are more
possibilities here.

When your business grows big enough,

you could run a guesthouse

in the suburbs here, close to the Great Wall.

I visited the villages there.

They are pristine.

The villagers still burn firewood

and build their houses using stones nearby.

Think about it.

During the weekend,
drive for two to three hours

away from the big city.

Feel the fresh air

and experience traditional life.

That applied to your business philosophy.

That's great.

You know it.

In the north,

the four seasons are distinct from each other.

The scenery varies in different seasons.

Think about it.

When it snows in winter,
light up the fireplace,

watching the snow outside.

It's beautiful.

It would be lovely.

I'm telling you.

You must be prepared.

If my guesthouse grows bigger and stronger,

I'd run branches in different places.

Don't give me that look.

Do you disagree?

I hold a secret from you.

What is it this time?

Actually,

Granny saves money
for my betrothal gifts.

I could use them
to buy flight tickets.

You scared me!

I'm serious.

When you talked about coming back to Beijing,

I was thinking about
flying here every week.

You are all talking.

You're so busy.

I'll squeeze you in.

To get what I want,

I have to put in the time, energy,

and efforts to travel.

Sounds like pie in the sky.

I dare not catch it.

That's right.

Wait for me.

♫ Keeps staring at my phone ♫

Excuse me, sir.

I'm Xu Hongdou, the
front desk manager.

How may I help you?

♫ I'd say I had a good chance ♫

♫ To open up your heart ♫

Is this the uniform you used to wear?

So? How is it?

Beautiful.

Come closer. Let me see it.

♫ It's so loud ♫

♫ Beating of my heart for you ♫

♫ Off the ground ♫

Sir.

This is inappropriate.

♫ You need to validate ♫

♫ Validate my love for you ♫

♫ It's so loud ♫

♫ Beating of my heart for you ♫

♫ Off the ground ♫

♫ You lift me so high my love ♫

♫ Hardly breathing ♫

♫ Validation feels so near ♫

♫ Listen to the rain
falling into the silent forest ♫

♫ Enjoy the mountainous landscape at sunset ♫

♫ The raindrops on the roof
fall into the eyes secretly ♫

♫ The world is like a quiet island ♫

♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫

♫ Waiting for the seabirds
to call forth the ripples ♫

♫ Waiting for the sunlight to shine into
my heart across the lake ♫

♫ Set sail when it's windy ♫

♫ The reflection of clouds, the changing moon
and the stars all over the sky ♫

♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫

♫ The light and shadow of four seasons ♫

♫ I've seen the meteor
that lights up the night sky ♫

♫ When the wind rises,
the sky will be cloudless ♫
