Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM
BY MOBAO FEIBAO
I haven't said good night yet.
Are you going back tomorrow?
Yes.
Tomorrow morning or afternoon?
The same as last week.
That's good.
At least I can see him when I wake up.
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
Good night.
I've subtly inquired for you.
Bei City Club is gathering
all members this weekend
and will stay at the hotel.
You'd better take this chance
to make a good impression.
Good impression?
Li Qingyan
is your love rival.
He also plays snooker.
He's Meng Xiaodong's favorite.
I've been watching snooker competitions.
I know him.
His playing style
is exactly like Meng Xiaodong's.
I'm impressed.
I guess
you don't take it seriously.
Meng Xiaodong also mostly lost
when playing against me back in the day.
He's coached by Meng Xiaodong.
How strong can he be?
Your judgment is wrong.
Yin Guo isn't looking for a boyfriend
based on the ranking of skills.
I know
that judging by appearance,
you will win too.
Wu Wei.
Don't drink the beverage you bought.
It's expired.
This is vinegar.
I got it from the noodle shop downstairs.
What's up?
I met Lin Yiyang today.
I thought
I saw a stranger.
Well,
he hasn't changed much.
Not a total stranger.
Lin Yiyang
wasn't so amiable before.
He has learned to save face for others.
He knows how to deal with people.
He's like a plucked eagle
that used to soar high in the sky.
Now, he has become
a turtledove hiding in the big city.
You came for him, right?
Have you tested him?
Yes, I have.
He hasn't lost his basic skills.
Also, he's at his best.
I also tested him today.
I bet
he's still the same as before.
He has been training hard.
If he slacks off even a bit,
I can tell.
Just as I judged.
So have you had a serious talk with him?
He refused to talk.
After all, it has been many years.
It takes time
to open up
like we did before.
Who is in the living room?
Are you asleep?
I just saw it.
So you're outside the door?
Yes.
I'm in the living room. Will you come out?
Xiaotian.
Why are the lights on?
Why are you still up?
To get my medicine.
Are you sick?
A minor injury.
Is it convenient?
Let's sit over there.
What happened?
I got hurt on the train.
On the train?
Did you just notice?
It didn't hurt, so I forgot about it.
It hurts just looking at it.
You've applied medicine yourself, right?
Yes, I just dealt with it in the bathroom.
Let me help you.
Is something wrong?
Very few people say that to me.
Perhaps it's because
you don't seem approachable.
Really?
Not really.
Sometimes, you look a bit fierce,
but you're still a very good person.
It seems too short.
Maybe I should get some gauze.
I fear it might stick to the wound.
Wait. I'll go get it.
Come closer.
Are you sleepy?
Well,
can we chat?
I…
I don't have a big family.
My parents died early.
I have a brother
and he's six years younger than me.
He got married last year.
He got married so early.
When my parents passed away,
one of my relatives adopted him.
It's a family with no children.
They treated my brother
as their own son.
When he got married last year,
I gave him some money,
but he returned it to me.
I guess…
he didn't want to trouble me.
You have a good brother.
So I want to say…
that I'm not from a well-off family,
but I'm…
unburdened.
Looks like we're on a blind date again.
He's even introducing his family.
If there's anything
you want to know,
feel free to ask.
There's nothing I want to ask.
I'm leaving.
Well, good night.
Good night.
I thought you had gone back.
What are you doing here?
Maybe we should go to my room.
Are the two coffee beans
the ones I gave you?
Go to sleep.
Yes.
I see.
I guess you're outside.
Get me some coffee.
Lin Lin always gives me three-hour calls.
Hello, you go on. I'm listening.
Yes.
Understood.
Let's listen together.
Since you've decided to play snooker,
hurry back and keep training.
Why did you sign up for the 9-ball Open?
If you want to try everything,
you'll mess it all up.
Listen.
You're from a well-off family.
You feel less stressed…
and persistent.
Everything you do…
I'm really curious.
How did she
and Meng Xiaodong get together?
Meng Xiaodong looks like this…
While Lin Lin looks like this…
-Wu Wei?
-You tell me.
-Wu Wei.
-Who can hold the other down?
Are you listening?
Speak up. Are you there?
-Turn the volume down.
-Wu Wei.
Hey.
Is Duncuo there?
Yes.
But he's a little drunk.
You go on.
He might understand more or less.
Jiang Yang and Fan Wencong
will compete
in the Netherlands next month.
They went there in advance
to see you.
Duncuo.
You don't need to act
like we're strangers.
When they returned to the hotel,
they were very sad.
Duncuo.
Has he slept?
Not yet. He has drunk too much.
He's taking a shower.
You talk to me.
My head is clear.
Did we disturb you?
I couldn't hear you clearly.
Aren't you going to sleep?
I want to wait until dawn.
Why?
Did you not get the message?
I got it.
Why didn't you reply?
Reply what?
Why am I waiting until dawn?
Yes.
I can't sleep
because of you.
I'm addicted to his face.
IF YOU'RE AWAKE, COME OUT. I'M IN…
If you're awake, come out.
I'm in the living room.
Did you sleep well?
These are newly bought beans.
Do you want to try it?
Well,
we used to visit
this coffee bean shop, right?
When did you go again?
When I was returning yesterday,
I took a little detour to go there.
You liar.
Why?
Going there from the station
and then back to the apartment
is more than just a little detour.
You took a long way.
I bought several flavors.
You can try them all
to see which one you like.
If you like, I'll get more for you.
Why did you buy so much?
Don't keep staring at me.
Morning.
Your mango isn't easy to cut, is it?
Yes.
Leave it there.
Did I disturb you last night?
My sister called me.
No, I actually didn't hear much.
You've heard of Lin Lin, right?
She also plays 9-ball.
I know her.
I have a competition in Hangzhou
at the end of April.
She might be the referee.
She was the top seed.
According to her age,
she could have played for more years.
My seniors have told me about it.
They said
she won the championship
of three major games within one year
and she said her wish was fulfilled.
After that, she announced her retirement
and became a referee.
She's a cool girl.
She's not in very good condition.
It's one of the reasons for retirement.
However, it's normal for athletes.
Who doesn't have injuries?
Why did he suddenly mention her?
Are Lin Lin and Lin Yiyang
in a special relationship?
Hasn't your cousin mentioned her to you?
My cousin?
Is he familiar with her?
It's more than that.
Lin Lin has been chasing him
for a few years.
Is Lin Lin your sister?
She's not my biological sister,
but we're close like siblings.
Back in school, Wu Wei was a good student.
He was timid,
so he was often bullied by bad guys.
Lin Lin always protected him,
so Wu Wei sees her as his own sister.
Well,
she protected Meng Xiaodong with her life.
There's a scar on her shoulder.
When she was 16,
it was caused by the thugs
your cousin offended.
He never told me about this.
I didn't even know they knew each other.
Does my cousin like her?
I don't know now.
Now…
Who knows what your cousin is thinking?
Though he has been refusing to date,
his performance is just average.
This year, he was outperformed
by Jiang Yang.
No, Jiang Yang is rising
starting this year.
Before that, he was always
overshadowed by my cousin.
Yes.
Let's not worry about them anymore.
It has been neck and neck.
You guys talk. I have to go.
Is it bothering you to listen to us
talk about the past?
Not at all.
So…
if I tell you about my childhood,
will you find it annoying?
Absolutely not.
But you never tell me.
I need to wash up before having coffee.
Good morning, Yiyang.
Do you want some coffee?
Yes, thank you.
It's hot.
Good morning.
Morning.
Fresh coffee. Do you want to try it?
By the way,
I have to move out today.
Everyone is here.
The coach asked me to stay at the hotel
to join them.
So soon?
I can't believe it.
He takes you away so quickly.
Once you've packed up your bag,
I'll take you there.
Aren't you going back to school?
I'll send you first.
If I don't catch the train,
I'll take another one.
I'll start packing now.
If I can finish it
before lunch,
you can drop me off at the hotel first
and you still have time
to head to the train station.
Go ahead.
Well,
take your time packing.
I don't want to see my brother.
I'll come see you after he's gone.
I'm a bit hungry. I'm going to eat.
I won't wait for you two.
-It's fine.
-Wash up.
-I'm leaving.
-Are you wearing that?
Yiyang, they came to see you.
We were just passing by
and we wanted you to join us for brunch.
You guys talk.
Go ahead.
Take a seat, guys.
Coffee, please.
I didn't sleep last night.
I'll catch up on my sleep.
Help yourselves, guys.
Is he mad?
When are they leaving?
We'll leave first.
I dare not go out.
I feel awkward.
I'll tell them to go to the bathroom.
They will come out after you leave.
No, it will make things weirder.
Forget it.
I'll bite the bullet and go out.
Okay.
Let's go if you're ready.
Okay.
This is the spare key.
I'm going back to school.
Make yourselves comfortable.
Let me help you.
Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Take care.
Lin Yiyang goes back to school
and the girl follows behind,
carrying a suitcase.
He never follows the rules.
I'm impressed.
Even when in love, he's doing it fast.
It's time to prepare the red envelopes.
We can't bring shame to Dongxin City.
How much will we give?
How about this year's bonus?
No problem. That's a good omen.
Let's celebrate that our buddy is back.
Anyway, your bonus is much more than mine.
If you're okay with that, so am I.
Wait a minute. I'll check my savings.
