EPISODE 14
Weiwei, we're back.
Why are you so tired?
You have no idea!
It's close to the finals.
The library is so crowded,
people have to fight for seats.
After studying all day,
my back and my arms all hurt.
It's so nice you get to study in the dorm.
No fighting for seats or crazy crowds.
You all went to the library,
so I got the dorm to myself.
If the bed wasn't such a draw for me,
I'd never go there.
How did your studying go?
I pretty much finished as I planned.
I was quite efficient.
A CHINESE GHOST STORY
Why isn't she here yet?
Here I am!
Mrs. Nai, you're finally here.
We waited until the flowers wilted.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here are your rare monsters.
Mrs. Nai,
why is my rare monster male?
Sorry, I didn't notice that detail.
Life is dull. Even my pet is male.
Nai has it so good.
He's attending a banquet in Shanghai,
with wine in hand,
and pretty ladies about.
Don't be mad, Mrs. Nai.
We'll educate him for you.
I'm not mad. I'm very pleased.
Yugong didn't use the wrong idiom
this time.
What? I didn't use any idiom, okay?
I can't ask too much of you.
I'm content
you actually mean what you say.
The thing about idioms
has to do with my childhood trauma.
What's the difference between trauma
and perversion for you?
You've all heard of the idiom,
Yugong moves the mountain, Yugong Yishan?
It's about an old man,
who leads his entire family
to dig away at the mountain,
one day at a time.
I happen to know it. No need to explain.
Great, I'm glad you know it.
My name is Yu Banshan, right?
So I always said "Yugong Banshan" instead.
Because of this idiom,
I was punished numerous times
by my language teacher.
Your trauma is so bland,
compared to me cutting the cheese.
I've known you for so long.
I only now realize, you've had
brain damage since you were young.
I'm nice. I won't say anything.
Mrs. Nai, do you really have
that much trust in Nai?
Shanghai is full of temptations.
The banquet is full of big risks.
Isn't he there for the Fengteng deal?
You know about that, Mrs. Nai?
We had breakfast this morning.
Darn it!
He told you about that?
Let me
Mrs. Nai, you don't know everything.
Collaboration deal is one thing.
But why is he going to a banquet suddenly?
There's got to be a badger game!
If we get the project,
Nai will have the money to marry.
It costs that much to get married?
He wants to marry
the department belle, okay?
What can you do? Naihe has no ambition.
He doesn't want to marry a rich girl.
It wasn't me!
Sisi, the nuts you bought
this time are so good.
I'll get some online, too.
Just eat, if you want.
Drop the pretense.
You always mooch off
our snacks, don't you?
You know me so well. I'll dig in then.
Weiwei, check out the school forum now!
-What is it?
-Hurry. Look!
What the heck is this?
Explosive! Well-known gifted writer
takes on the gossip beauty.
Exciting! I randomly came across
our school's gifted writer's Weibo
and discovered a new post.
I was only browsing,
but I became more and more excited
as I read.
So I decided to share with you all.
I TEASED C:
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU AREN'T SIZE 34C.
Who's this Ai Chanel?
She's saying Lord Xiao Nai
only likes Weiwei for her body?
She's so narcissistic, too. It's so gross.
You don't know her?
Ai Chanel, a gifted writer
and campus celebrity.
She writes about coffee,
music, perfume, etc.
She's a got a column
in a fashion magazine, too.
What gifted writer?
This is personal attack.
Who is this C, then?
Who else? Didn't you read the comments?
It's got to be Meng Yiran.
If Zhiyi's engine can achieve
global illumination,
our game's visual effects
will improve exponentially.
I'm not well-versed in technical stuff.
Mr. Xiao, can you put it in
layman's terms?
This banquet hall is ablaze with lights,
and President Feng is glistening.
But the light on President Feng
doesn't just come from
the chandelier's light source,
but also the reflection of light
bouncing off of numerous objects.
Our engine can track light rays
reflected by other surfaces,
to simulate a realistic
lighting environment.
President Feng, Mr. Zhao, the CEO
of Era Technology, is looking for you.
-We should head over.
-Okay.
When do you leave Shanghai, Mr. Xiao?
Tomorrow afternoon.
If you're free in the morning,
come by my office and have tea.
No technical talk.
I'd love to.
Remember, Yiran,
be yourself, keep smiling.
Excuse us.
Ai Chanel is likely Meng Yiran's friend.
A woman like her probably thinks
all the men in the world
should flock to admire her and love her.
If they don't, then they're shallow
and don't appreciate inner beauty.
We'll post Weiwei's report card
and shame her!
That's right!
Don't pay her any mind.
I'm not the one making a fool of myself.
Are you angry, Weiwei?
She praised me,
saying I'm gifted and pretty.
-Why should I be angry?
-She's not praising you!
She's calling you brainless, okay?
A nice figure is a gift, too.
What's more, intelligence is something
you can only recognize,
if you're on the same level.
That's harsh, Weiwei.
That's nothing! According to Yugong,
that doesn't even come close
to what Lord Naihe does.
Do you really have 34C, Weiwei?
Let me out!
-No way!
-Let me out!
Who's that in the white dress?
She seems into me.
I'll go chat her up.
Maybe take her out?
Don't do that again.
That last girl is still a hangover.
Don't get in trouble again.
It's Fengteng's banquet. There aren't
random people here. Don't mess around.
You're being overly cautious.
I'm sure she's here to bag a rich guy.
She's no career woman.
Plus, she's here alone.
Who else can she be?
She's coming toward me.
Ms. Meng, your uncle,
Mr. Zhen of Zhenyi Tech,
is looking for you.
Believe in yourself.
Your charm will be enough
to entice Xiao Nai to approach you.
You're right, Chanel. I did it!
So, she's the niece
of Zhenyi Tech's Mr. Zhen.
See? I told you to behave. Let's go.
Your wife bullied me again.
While I'm away,
you seem to be having a good time
with Yugong and the boys.
No. I've been studying hard.
I was only online for a bit,
to give out rare monsters.
Then why do I keep getting
complaint texts?
Complaint? Shouldn't they be praises?
I gave them graduation gifts.
I'll beat them up next time.
Weiwei!
I mean, duel with them.
Stop hanging out with them.
They're a bad influence on you.
You don't need to dirty your hands.
Let them beat up each other.
Aren't you the real bad influence on me?
I'm happy to be an example for you.
Well, time is of the essence.
I should go study.
Take care of yourself out there.
Be careful.
-I will.
-Bye-bye.
Breaking news!
-What now?
-Check the forum!
Is there another explosive post?
I hope the forum gets hacked.
Your prayer is so powerful, Weiwei!
Ai Chanel's Weibo got hacked!
It must be the guys from our department.
So awesome! They've got your back.
SPECIAL GRADE SCHOLARSHIP
BEI WEIWEI, FEMALE
Nice!
That's how computer majors solve problems.
Don't worry, Weiwei.
This will all blow over in a few days.
Did your Lord Xiao Nai do this, Weiwei?
Definitely not.
He never does anything that direct.
Will you please refrain from using
such an idolizing tone when you say that?
By the way, Weiwei,
how did he react to this incident?
I didn't mention it.
You were on the phone for so long,
and you didn't mention it?
I forgot, the moment I answered the phone.
Plus, Lord Xiao Nai is very busy.
Let's not bother him
with such a trivial matter.
If it's not him, who else is so capable?
I just love them to death!
-Lord Xiao Nai is very busy.
-So busy!
My hands are sore.
Sir, here. Is that enough pressure, sir?
Gentler.
-Thirsty.
-Got it.
Here.
How do you feel, sir?
All right.
When Nai comes back,
I'll make him repay me.
Nai's not around, so I had to do it.
How dare they bully
a girl from our department?
Right? How dare they say
Mrs. Nai is brainless?
She's got more scholarship money than me!
The way I see it,
we should keep this from Nai.
He's quite busy in Shanghai.
Plus, this has been dealt with.
Given the news cycle rate at our school,
this will all be forgotten in two days.
You're back, Weiwei!
Is there new gossip on the forum?
No. It's just Lord Xiao Nai
called earlier.
He's back.
When I was on the phone
with Lord Xiao Nai, Weiwei,
I accidentally
revealed the thoughts
I'd buried deep in my heart.
What did you say?
I said, why hasn't he taken us out to eat?
You're shameless!
Oh, no! There's something
even more shameless.
Tell me.
I said, why not make it today?
Since we don't have exams tomorrow,
let's make it today.
Are you recovered from the runs?
-Gluttonous girl!
-No.
It must be my package.
I snatched up a deal online
at ten o'clock yesterday.
The delivery is perfectly timed.
-Hi, is Tian Sisi here?
-That's me.
Here's your package.
-Thank you.
-How much is it?
260. It's a big brand sale.
It's more expensive at a retail shop.
It's 70 percent off online.
A steal, right?
It's not the same dress,
but I think this is prettier
and better quality.
Nice. The style is more conservative
and graceful.
A respectable woman would like it, no?
Is this dress
That's right. It's for you.
We're no freeloaders.
We have nothing to repay
Lord Xiao Nai for treating us to a meal.
So we got you a dress.
Last time, Xiaoling's beau,
Dazhong, took us out to eat,
we gave them matching pajamas, too.
It's so embarrassing. Drop it already!
It's the end of the term.
Even the landlords are out of grain.
We scraped together what we could
to buy this dress.
So you have to wear it today.
I
I was just about to call you, Weiwei.
There was traffic.
I'll be back on campus a bit late.
You're still on the road?
What time did you land?
Half past three.
-Then tonight we should just
-Weiwei,
you should've reminded me of this sooner.
Mr. Xiao,
these are the terms
on intellectual property rights.
-I'll take a look.
-Okay.
Let's talk later. I need to go.
Bye-bye.
Is Lord Xiao Nai upset
that I didn't remind him
to take my roommates out to eat?
Give me the dress.
Where do you want to go?
We're in Lord Xiao Nai's car again.
Lord Xiao Nai's car is extraordinary.
How so?
It's fast yet steady.
Extraordinary, indeed!
Of course! This is a Jeep Cherokee.
It has Selec-Terrain
traction management system.
That's why it's steady.
Salad what? It sounds high-tech!
Figure it out on your own.
Erxi, do you have ulterior motives
for buttering up Lord Xiao Nai?
Hey
Yes, that French restaurant.
What's that?
That restaurant is having
its grand opening today.
No, I'm not going there.
Anyway, didn't you say
you have strictly Chinese palates?
You don't like Western food.
-Let's go there.
-Right.
It's good to try different cuisines,
Weiwei.
-But--
-Weiwei, good hosts accommodate guests.
That's right, you're hosts
who accommodate us guests. Right?
Did I get that right?
Smart girl. Where's the place?
658 Zhongshan South Road.
It's for you. Chanel number five.
Thanks.
Looks like she doesn't know
what happened on the forum.
My Weibo got hacked anyway,
and the post got deleted.
I don't think anyone would be so clueless
and bring it up with her, right?
I'll pretend it never happened.
That was a miscalculation on my part.
Who was the busybody
that shared my long-form Weibo post?
What happened anyway?
You're amazing, Chanel.
Your predictions came true!
I was being myself. I kept smiling.
Xiao Nai came up and spoke to me!
You should all get out here. I'll go park.
I'll go with you.
Weiwei, one of us has to play host
to the guests.
-Hurry.
-Come on.
Hurry up!
They're there!
We got our money's worth.
Weiwei, look at the table
by the column.
What are they doing here?
Are they dining here, too?
Is Ai Chanel the woman
sitting next to Meng Yiran?
That's probably her.
She looks mean and spiteful.
How did you know they'd be dining here?
I wasn't sure.
I checked out her Weibo,
before it got hacked.
She said this restaurant
is having its grand opening today.
I thought, perhaps she'd be here.
So I gave it a shot.
What are you trying to do?
We already won,
without doing anything, okay?
I don't like this at all.
It's like we're using Lord Xiao Nai
to counterattack and gloat.
And, he doesn't even know
what's happening.
Are you going to desert the ranks,
Weiwei?
Deserting what ranks?
Since when am I on the battlefield?
This is supposed to be
a get-together, but now,
it's not just a simple get-together.
Forget it. Just pretend they don't exist.
We're just dining at the same restaurant.
Once inside, you should eat
instead of speak, hear me?
And don't eat too much!
Mr. Xiao, look at your Weiwei!
That's no way to entertain guests.
After what she said,
we'll be afraid to order anything.
It's okay. Weiwei doesn't manage
my finances yet.
We have to eat up now.
When Weiwei manages his finances,
we'd be lucky to have pickles!
Let's go!
Be patient. Things happen one at a time.
It's because
you took the wrong route before.
Okay.
He rushed over right after he landed.
What was on his mind?
He probably thought
this was just an innocent get-together.
He'd never guess
there was an ulterior motive.
Don't go in there.
That's right. Why should I go in?
Why should I dine for appearance's sake?
Why should I dine just to spite
and torment someone?
It's quality time.
Shouldn't I spend it dining
with him and my friends,
in a peaceful manner?
I don't like this place.
Let's go elsewhere.
-Okay, I'll go get the car.
-Thank you.
If you feel awkward, you can come with me.
Go and hurry back.
One of us has to play host here, right?
You're not angry with me, are you?
No, we don't have to eat here,
if you don't want to.
You're not angry with us
doing all this behind your back.
We've paraded in front of them.
I'm content.
You don't have to pay them any mind,
Weiwei.
I don't.
If this were a Sichuan Boiled Fish place
that I'd planned to dine at,
then I'd still go in there,
even if 10 Ai Chanels were sitting inside.
But this is a French restaurant.
You don't like it, neither do I.
Why should we eat something we don't like,
just to spite her?
It's not worth it at all.
We might get indigestion!
More importantly,
why should we provide Lord Xiao Nai's
pretty face? It's a lousy deal.
Fine, I get it.
You want Sichuan Boiled Fish.
Exactly, that's it.
But leaving like this
feels like unfinished business.
Too much is also bad. Settling off-court
is better than a fistfight.
Listen, Xiaoling
The best way to deal with
an enemy in the shadows,
is to deny her the chance
to get on the court.
I think,
from what you've told me just now,
our tactics are working.
Xiao Nai is clearly
paying you more attention now.
Actually
What?
From what I've heard,
Xiao Nai has never dated before.
So it's actually a good thing,
you're not his first girlfriend.
Men have to have some experience,
to know what's best for them.
Is that so?
Of course! How many people marry
their first love?
It's Nana again.
Yiran, don't listen to Ai Chanel.
She's up to no good.
She's only using you
to get attention for herself.
Here's the menu.
I have to get a French cuisine's worth
out of Sichuan Boiled Fish.
What would you like to eat?
Our Sichuan Boiled Fish are made to order.
Very tasty.
What kind of fish do you have?
I recommend northern snakehead today.
Okay, we'll take an eight-jin
northern snakehead.
Sorry, Miss. Our fish aren't that big.
How about two fish of three to four jins?
Should we go with three or four jins?
Come to the restroom with me, Erxi.
You're not in grade school anymore.
Why do I have to go with you?
Erxi,
don't you know you're representing me now?
Do you want Lord Xiao Nai to think
I'm a foodaholic?
But I'm the one ordering.
He'll only think I'm the foodaholic.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Get it?
What if Lord Xiao Nai perceives
the essence through the appearance?
I can't completely give away
my stomach capacity.
What about 7.5 jins?
Seven point two jins,
that's the bottom-line offer.
Four jins.
Five jins.
Six jins, that's the most I can do.
You're like this,
before you're even married.
Once you're married,
won't we have to settle for congee?
Who's getting married?
I'll be right back.
-You ordered already?
-How many jins?
You're so clumsy.
I mean, don't order too much
Sichuan Boiled Fish.
Six jins, at most.
Our stomachs are tiny.
We can't eat that much.
But we already ordered eight jins.
Oh, no! It'll go to waste,
if we can't finish it.
Lord Xiao Nai also ordered
five jins of Chili Crawfish for us.
That's a lot!
Don't worry. I only ordered it,
after learning of your appetite.
-How so?
-We told him,
last time we ate out,
you cleaned up a plate of chicken wings.
Cramming for the recent exams
burns a lot of calories.
I have faith in your capability.
Who wants your faith in that?
Eight jins of Sichuan Boiled Fish
and five jins of Chili Crawfish?
Do you think we're pigs?
Come on, let's order booze.
We're drinking today.
Lord Xiao Nai is driving,
so he can't drink.
He's driving, so he can't drink,
but you're not driving.
You have to represent.
Cheers!
-So spicy!
-Cheers.
You're drinking too slowly, Weiwei.
Come on.
I can't drink anymore. Thanks.
The crawfish is amazing!
Weiwei?
Yes?
Nothing.
It's so rare to see you like this.
That's why I stopped the car,
so I can drink it in.
What was wrong with the French restaurant?
A couple of days ago,
someone wrote a post on the school forum,
saying that I only have the looks.
Keep going.
That's pretty much it.
They're dining at that restaurant today.
Erxi found out about it.
That's why she chose that place.
Name?
Ai Chanel.
And?
I'm not sure about the others.
Should I say Meng Yiran?
It's only a guess, after all.
If it wasn't her, it'd be slander.
Do as you would be done by.
It's okay. You can read it online.
But don't comment on it, just let it go.
I'm not that hurt.
Ai Chanel was embarrassed enough, anyway.
Let it go? I'm afraid
I'm not that magnanimous.
Are you upset for real?
I'm okay.
It hurt, at first,
but I tried to turn those slights
into motivation.
But now,
those meaningless comments
are no longer important enough
to motivate me.
Now, my motivation is you
Don't stay here. Let's go back.
You don't have to drop me off.
I can walk back.
I'll park at my house and walk you home.
We've been walking round and round.
A few more loops,
Sichuan Boiled Fish is all digested.
Let's have dinner with my roommates
after your exams.
What?
Oh.
You don't want to?
No, it's just
I've felt like the situation
with Lord Xiao Nai
is supposed to be
a prelude to our romance,
but after what my roommates did,
we're suddenly going steady already.
It feels so unreal.
Plus, he's Xiao Nai.
It just feels a bit unreal.
I didn't want to move this fast.
Does it feel real now?
Rumor has it,
a guy ran into Xiao Nai in the dorms.
He rushed up to Xiao Nai and asked,
"What do you think about
the post on the forum?"
"Better to have than be without."
Here's the problem.
What did he mean by that?
These six words don't seem much
at first glance,
but once you think about it,
it's mean and hurtful.
Especially for a girl,
the spite really sinks in.
So what is it that Ai Chanel
and Meng Yiran are without?
As a student of Marxism,
you must learn to perceive the essence
through the appearance.
Ai Chanel attacked Weiwei,
probably because she is lacking
in that regard.
-Can it be true?
-It must be.
Weiwei, how does Lord Xiao Nai know
that you do have it?
Has he hugged you?
You're killing me! My mask is falling off!
All right!
I won't ask about your figure.
But things are what they are now,
you have to tell us if he's hugged you!
I thought about it. I think it best
to leave it a mystery for you.
That's a yes.

Weiwei, we're back.
Why are you so tired?
You have no idea!
It's close to the finals.

A CHINESE GHOST STORY
Why isn't she here yet?
Here I am!
Mrs. Nai, you're finally here.
We waited until the flowers wilted.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here are your rare monsters.
Mrs. Nai,
why is my rare monster male?
Sorry, I didn't notice that detail.
Life is dull. Even my pet is male.
Nai has it so good.
He's attending a banquet in Shanghai,
with wine in hand,
and pretty ladies about.
Don't be mad, Mrs. Nai.
We'll educate him for you.
I'm not mad. I'm very pleased.
Yugong didn't use the wrong idiom

What? I didn't use any idiom, okay?
I can't ask too much of you.
I'm content

The thing about idioms
has to do with my childhood trauma.
What's the difference between trauma
and perversion for you?
You've all heard of the idiom,
Yugong moves the mountain, Yugong Yishan?
It's about an old man,
who leads his entire family
to dig away at the mountain,
one day at a time.
I happen to know it. No need to explain.
Great, I'm glad you know it.
My name is Yu Banshan, right?
So I always said "Yugong Banshan" instead.
Because of this idiom,
I was punished numerous times
by my language teacher.
Your trauma is so bland,
compared to me cutting the cheese.
I've known you for so long.
I only now realize, you've had
brain damage since you were young.
I'm nice. I won't say anything.
Mrs. Nai, do you really have
that much trust in Nai?
Shanghai is full of temptations.
The banquet is full of big risks.
Isn't he there for the Fengteng deal?
You know about that, Mrs. Nai?
We had breakfast this morning.
Darn it!
He told you about that?
Let me
Mrs. Nai, you don't know everything.
Collaboration deal is one thing.
But why is he going to a banquet suddenly?
There's got to be a badger game!
If we get the project,
Nai will have the money to marry.
It costs that much to get married?
He wants to marry
the department belle, okay?
What can you do? Naihe has no ambition.
He doesn't want to marry a rich girl.
It wasn't me!
Sisi, the nuts you bought
this time are so good.
I'll get some online, too.
Just eat, if you want.
Drop the pretense.
You always mooch off
our snacks, don't you?
You know me so well. I'll dig in then.
Weiwei, check out the school forum now!
-What is it?
-Hurry. Look!
What the heck is this?
Explosive! Well-known gifted writer

Exciting! I randomly came across
our school's gifted writer's Weibo

I'd love to.
Remember, Yiran,

Excuse us.
Ai Chanel is likely Meng Yiran's friend.
A woman like her probably thinks

We'll post Weiwei's report card
and shame her!
That's right!
Don't pay her any mind.
I'm not the one making a fool of myself.
Are you angry, Weiwei?
She praised me,
saying I'm gifted and pretty.
-Why should I be angry?
-She's not praising you!
She's calling you brainless, okay?
A nice figure is a gift, too.
What's more, intelligence is something
you can only recognize,
if you're on the same level.
That's harsh, Weiwei.
That's nothing! According to Yugong,
that doesn't even come close
to what Lord Naihe does.
Do you really have 34C, Weiwei?
Let me out!
-No way!
-Let me out!
Who's that in the white dress?
She seems into me.
I'll go chat her up.
Maybe take her out?
Don't do that again.
That last girl is still a hangover.
Don't get in trouble again.
It's Fengteng's banquet. There aren't
random people here. Don't mess around.
You're being overly cautious.
I'm sure she's here to bag a rich guy.
She's no career woman.
Plus, she's here alone.
Who else can she be?
She's coming toward me.
Ms. Meng, your uncle,
Mr. Zhen of Zhenyi Tech,
is looking for you.
Believe in yourself.
Your charm will be enough
to entice Xiao Nai to approach you.
You're right, Chanel. I did it!
So, she's the niece
of Zhenyi Tech's Mr. Zhen.
See? I told you to behave. Let's go.
Your wife bullied me again.
While I'm away,
you seem to be having a good time
with Yugong and the boys.
No. I've been studying hard.
I was only online for a bit,
to give out rare monsters.
Then why do I keep getting
complaint texts?
Complaint? Shouldn't they be praises?
I gave them graduation gifts.
I'll beat them up next time.
Weiwei!
I mean, duel with them.
Stop hanging out with them.
They're a bad influence on you.
You don't need to dirty your hands.
Let them beat up each other.
Aren't you the real bad influence on me?
I'm happy to be an example for you.
Well, time is of the essence.
I should go study.
Take care of yourself out there.
Be careful.
-I will.
-Bye-bye.
Breaking news!
-What now?
-Check the forum!
Is there another explosive post?
I hope the forum gets hacked.
Your prayer is so powerful, Weiwei!
Ai Chanel's Weibo got hacked!
It must be the guys from our department.
So awesome! They've got your back.
SPECIAL GRADE SCHOLARSHIP
BEI WEIWEI, FEMALE
Nice!
That's how computer majors solve problems.
Don't worry, Weiwei.
This will all blow over in a few days.
Did your Lord Xiao Nai do this, Weiwei?
Definitely not.
He never does anything that direct.
Will you please refrain from using
such an idolizing tone when you say that?
By the way, Weiwei,
how did he react to this incident?
I didn't mention it.
You were on the phone for so long,
and you didn't mention it?
I forgot, the moment I answered the phone.
Plus, Lord Xiao Nai is very busy.
Let's not bother him
with such a trivial matter.
If it's not him, who else is so capable?
I just love them to death!
-Lord Xiao Nai is very busy.
-So busy!
My hands are sore.
Sir, here. Is that enough pressure, sir?
Gentler.
-Thirsty.
-Got it.
Here.
How do you feel, sir?
All right.
When Nai comes back,
I'll make him repay me.
Nai's not around, so I had to do it.
How dare they bully
a girl from our department?
Right? How dare they say
Mrs. Nai is brainless?
She's got more scholarship money than me!
The way I see it,
we should keep this from Nai.
He's quite busy in Shanghai.
Plus, this has been dealt with.
Given the news cycle rate at our school,
this will all be forgotten in two days.
You're back, Weiwei!
Is there new gossip on the forum?
No. It's just Lord Xiao Nai
called earlier.
He's back.
When I was on the phone
with Lord Xiao Nai, Weiwei,
I accidentally
revealed the thoughts
I'd buried deep in my heart.
What did you say?
I said, why hasn't he taken us out to eat?
You're shameless!
Oh, no! There's something
even more shameless.
Tell me.
I said, why not make it today?
Since we don't have exams tomorrow,
let's make it today.
Are you recovered from the runs?
-Gluttonous girl!
-No.
It must be my package.
I snatched up a deal online
at ten o'clock yesterday.
The delivery is perfectly timed.
-Hi, is Tian Sisi here?
-That's me.
Here's your package.
-Thank you.
-How much is it?
260. It's a big brand sale.
It's more expensive at a retail shop.
It's 70 percent off online.
A steal, right?
It's not the same dress,
but I think this is prettier
and better quality.
Nice. The style is more conservative
and graceful.
A respectable woman would like it, no?
Is this dress
That's right. It's for you.
We're no freeloaders.
We have nothing to repay
Lord Xiao Nai for treating us to a meal.
So we got you a dress.
Last time, Xiaoling's beau,
Dazhong, took us out to eat,
we gave them matching pajamas, too.
It's so embarrassing. Drop it already!
It's the end of the term.
Even the landlords are out of grain.
We scraped together what we could
to buy this dress.
So you have to wear it today.
I
I was just about to call you, Weiwei.
There was traffic.
I'll be back on campus a bit late.
You're still on the road?
What time did you land?
Half past three.
-Then tonight we should just
-Weiwei,
you should've reminded me of this sooner.
Mr. Xiao,
these are the terms
on intellectual property rights.
-I'll take a look.
-Okay.
Let's talk later. I need to go.
Bye-bye.
Is Lord Xiao Nai upset
that I didn't remind him
to take my roommates out to eat?
Give me the dress.
Where do you want to go?
We're in Lord Xiao Nai's car again.
Lord Xiao Nai's car is extraordinary.
How so?
It's fast yet steady.
Extraordinary, indeed!
Of course! This is a Jeep Cherokee.
It has Selec-Terrain
traction management system.
That's why it's steady.
Salad what? It sounds high-tech!
Figure it out on your own.
Erxi, do you have ulterior motives
for buttering up Lord Xiao Nai?
Hey
Yes, that French restaurant.
What's that?
That restaurant is having
its grand opening today.
No, I'm not going there.
Anyway, didn't you say
you have strictly Chinese palates?
You don't like Western food.
-Let's go there.
-Right.
It's good to try different cuisines,
Weiwei.
-But--
-Weiwei, good hosts accommodate guests.
That's right, you're hosts
who accommodate us guests. Right?
Did I get that right?
Smart girl. Where's the place?
658 Zhongshan South Road.
It's for you. Chanel number five.
Thanks.
Looks like she doesn't know
what happened on the forum.
My Weibo got hacked anyway,
and the post got deleted.
I don't think anyone would be so clueless
and bring it up with her, right?
I'll pretend it never happened.
That was a miscalculation on my part.
Who was the busybody
that shared my long-form Weibo post?
What happened anyway?
You're amazing, Chanel.
Your predictions came true!
I was being myself. I kept smiling.
Xiao Nai came up and spoke to me!
You should all get out here. I'll go park.
I'll go with you.
Weiwei, one of us has to play host
to the guests.
-Hurry.
-Come on.
Hurry up!
They're there!
We got our money's worth.
Weiwei, look at the table
by the column.
What are they doing here?
Are they dining here, too?
Is Ai Chanel the woman
sitting next to Meng Yiran?
That's probably her.
She looks mean and spiteful.
How did you know they'd be dining here?
I wasn't sure.
I checked out her Weibo,
before it got hacked.
She said this restaurant
is having its grand opening today.
I thought, perhaps she'd be here.
So I gave it a shot.
What are you trying to do?
We already won,
without doing anything, okay?
I don't like this at all.
It's like we're using Lord Xiao Nai
to counterattack and gloat.
And, he doesn't even know
what's happening.
Are you going to desert the ranks,
Weiwei?
Deserting what ranks?
Since when am I on the battlefield?
This is supposed to be
a get-together, but now,
it's not just a simple get-together.
Forget it. Just pretend they don't exist.
We're just dining at the same restaurant.
Once inside, you should eat
instead of speak, hear me?
And don't eat too much!
Mr. Xiao, look at your Weiwei!
That's no way to entertain guests.
After what she said,
we'll be afraid to order anything.
It's okay. Weiwei doesn't manage
my finances yet.
We have to eat up now.
When Weiwei manages his finances,
we'd be lucky to have pickles!
Let's go!
Be patient. Things happen one at a time.
It's because
you took the wrong route before.
Okay.
He rushed over right after he landed.
What was on his mind?
He probably thought
this was just an innocent get-together.
He'd never guess
there was an ulterior motive.
Don't go in there.
That's right. Why should I go in?
Why should I dine for appearance's sake?
Why should I dine just to spite
and torment someone?
It's quality time.
Shouldn't I spend it dining
with him and my friends,
in a peaceful manner?
I don't like this place.
Let's go elsewhere.
-Okay, I'll go get the car.
-Thank you.
If you feel awkward, you can come with me.
Go and hurry back.
One of us has to play host here, right?
You're not angry with me, are you?
No, we don't have to eat here,
if you don't want to.
You're not angry with us
doing all this behind your back.
We've paraded in front of them.
I'm content.
You don't have to pay them any mind,
Weiwei.
I don't.
If this were a Sichuan Boiled Fish place
that I'd planned to dine at,
then I'd still go in there,
even if 10 Ai Chanels were sitting inside.
But this is a French restaurant.
You don't like it, neither do I.
Why should we eat something we don't like,
just to spite her?
It's not worth it at all.
We might get indigestion!
More importantly,
why should we provide Lord Xiao Nai's
pretty face? It's a lousy deal.
Fine, I get it.
You want Sichuan Boiled Fish.
Exactly, that's it.
But leaving like this
feels like unfinished business.
Too much is also bad. Settling off-court
is better than a fistfight.
Listen, Xiaoling
The best way to deal with
an enemy in the shadows,
is to deny her the chance
to get on the court.
I think,
from what you've told me just now,
our tactics are working.
Xiao Nai is clearly
paying you more attention now.
Actually
What?
From what I've heard,
Xiao Nai has never dated before.
So it's actually a good thing,
you're not his first girlfriend.
Men have to have some experience,
to know what's best for them.
Is that so?
Of course! How many people marry
their first love?
It's Nana again.
Yiran, don't listen to Ai Chanel.
She's up to no good.
She's only using you
to get attention for herself.
Here's the menu.
I have to get a French cuisine's worth
out of Sichuan Boiled Fish.
What would you like to eat?
Our Sichuan Boiled Fish are made to order.
Very tasty.
What kind of fish do you have?
I recommend northern snakehead today.
Okay, we'll take an eight-jin
northern snakehead.
Sorry, Miss. Our fish aren't that big.
How about two fish of three to four jins?
Should we go with three or four jins?
Come to the restroom with me, Erxi.
You're not in grade school anymore.
Why do I have to go with you?
Erxi,
don't you know you're representing me now?
Do you want Lord Xiao Nai to think
I'm a foodaholic?
But I'm the one ordering.
He'll only think I'm the foodaholic.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Get it?
What if Lord Xiao Nai perceives
the essence through the appearance?
I can't completely give away
my stomach capacity.
What about 7.5 jins?
Seven point two jins,
that's the bottom-line offer.
Four jins.
Five jins.
Six jins, that's the most I can do.
You're like this,
before you're even married.
Once you're married,
won't we have to settle for congee?
Who's getting married?
I'll be right back.
-You ordered already?
-How many jins?
You're so clumsy.
I mean, don't order too much
Sichuan Boiled Fish.
Six jins, at most.
Our stomachs are tiny.
We can't eat that much.
But we already ordered eight jins.
Oh, no! It'll go to waste,
if we can't finish it.
Lord Xiao Nai also ordered
five jins of Chili Crawfish for us.
That's a lot!
Don't worry. I only ordered it,
after learning of your appetite.
-How so?
-We told him,
last time we ate out,
you cleaned up a plate of chicken wings.
Cramming for the recent exams
burns a lot of calories.
I have faith in your capability.
Who wants your faith in that?
Eight jins of Sichuan Boiled Fish
and five jins of Chili Crawfish?
Do you think we're pigs?
Come on, let's order booze.
We're drinking today.
Lord Xiao Nai is driving,
so he can't drink.
He's driving, so he can't drink,
but you're not driving.
You have to represent.
Cheers!
-So spicy!
-Cheers.
You're drinking too slowly, Weiwei.
Come on.
I can't drink anymore. Thanks.
The crawfish is amazing!
Weiwei?
Yes?
Nothing.
It's so rare to see you like this.
That's why I stopped the car,
so I can drink it in.
What was wrong with the French restaurant?
A couple of days ago,
someone wrote a post on the school forum,
saying that I only have the looks.
Keep going.
That's pretty much it.
They're dining at that restaurant today.
Erxi found out about it.
That's why she chose that place.
Name?
Ai Chanel.
And?
I'm not sure about the others.
Should I say Meng Yiran?
It's only a guess, after all.
If it wasn't her, it'd be slander.
Do as you would be done by.
It's okay. You can read it online.
But don't comment on it, just let it go.
I'm not that hurt.
Ai Chanel was embarrassed enough, anyway.
Let it go? I'm afraid
I'm not that magnanimous.
Are you upset for real?
I'm okay.
It hurt, at first,
but I tried to turn those slights
into motivation.
But now,
those meaningless comments
are no longer important enough
to motivate me.
Now, my motivation is you
Don't stay here. Let's go back.
You don't have to drop me off.
I can walk back.
I'll park at my house and walk you home.
We've been walking round and round.
A few more loops,
Sichuan Boiled Fish is all digested.
Let's have dinner with my roommates
after your exams.
What?
Oh.
You don't want to?
No, it's just
I've felt like the situation
with Lord Xiao Nai
is supposed to be
a prelude to our romance,
but after what my roommates did,
we're suddenly going steady already.
It feels so unreal.
Plus, he's Xiao Nai.
It just feels a bit unreal.
I didn't want to move this fast.
Does it feel real now?
Rumor has it,
a guy ran into Xiao Nai in the dorms.
He rushed up to Xiao Nai and asked,
"What do you think about
the post on the forum?"
"Better to have than be without."
Here's the problem.
What did he mean by that?
These six words don't seem much
at first glance,
but once you think about it,
it's mean and hurtful.
Especially for a girl,
the spite really sinks in.
So what is it that Ai Chanel
and Meng Yiran are without?
As a student of Marxism,
you must learn to perceive the essence
through the appearance.
Ai Chanel attacked Weiwei,
probably because she is lacking
in that regard.
-Can it be true?
-It must be.
Weiwei, how does Lord Xiao Nai know
that you do have it?
Has he hugged you?
You're killing me! My mask is falling off!
All right!
I won't ask about your figure.
But things are what they are now,
you have to tell us if he's hugged you!
I thought about it. I think it best
to leave it a mystery for you.
That's a yes.
