Episode 18
It's said
that elites
in certain areas
are more likely to have depression.
It makes sense for Ling Xiao
to have anxiety disorder.
He's so smart. No wonder he has it.
Cut it out.
It has nothing
to do with that.
Then it must be because of his mother.
How should I live
with such
a mother-in-law?
I think we should buy a book
that makes people sleepy,
maybe a world-famous book
like One Hundred Years of Solitude.
It makes me sleepy every time.
OK, I'll take this one.
It'll make him sleepy.
Let's go. We still have to
pick a wallpaper.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Take care. Take care.
Let's do it.
Good.
Are you sure it'll work?
Of course!
When he feel relaxed,
he'll feel better
and fall asleep easily.
Slower. Slower.
OK. OK.
Change your shoes.
Well,
I have to take a shower.
No!
What if your wound
gets wet?
How about you wait a little longer?
I can't wait.
It itches all over my body.
Li Jianjian,
no,
Ling Xiao, help me take a bath.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up!
I feel so itchy!
Let's go.
Don't get the wound wet.
How nice! I want to have a brother too.
So he can help you take a bath?
Take them over here after the shower.
We're going to have hot pot.
Ziqiu is like this,
and you want him to eat hot pot?
It's a two-flavor hot pot.
OK. OK.
Don't you want to eat?
I'm back.
You're back.
Let me introduce.
Please come in.
Mingyue, do you still remember him?
When we were in high school,
the one
who was really good
at basketball,
Zhuang Bei.
This is Qi Mingyue.
I remember him.
Hello.
Why are you standing there?
We're all schoolmates. Sit down, please.
Yes, we're all schoolmates.
Friend me on WeChat.
In a minute. My phone is getting recharged right now.
OK!
I'm going over there.
Hasn't Tang Can come back?
She prepared all these dishes,
but she dares not to see you.
Why did you stand at the door?
Why didn't you knock at the door?
I didn't knock before.
Let me see. Let me see.
Yes.
Does it hurt?
It's fine. It's fine.
Really.
You just beat me, right?
No! I didn't mean it.
Then slap me now.
Slap my naturally beautiful face.
Are you out of your mind?
Who would apologize like this?
Don't be mad at me.
How could you
do that to me?
I'm sorry.
I thought
you had known that he was fine.
I swear that I won't do it again.
Please don't be mad at me.
Hit me.
Hit me, please.
Hit me.
Hit me, please.
I won't hit you. I kiss you.
Love you!
My dear Jianjian,
you are really my little angel!
Congratulations to you
for becoming friends again.
Come and join us.
Your dream guy is here.
Zhuang Bei?
I'm going to put on makeup.
We're going to have hotpot.
Why would you put on makeup?
That's weird!
You're already so pretty without makeup.
You don't understand girls
and I can't communicate with your guys.
Let's eat.
Where is Tang Can?
She's removing makeup. Let's eat first.
Let's eat now. Come.
Let's eat.
What would you like to have?
Meat balls.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Come. Let's have a toast
to celebrate Ziqiu's escaping from death
in a great catastrophe!
OK.
Come. Thank you. Thank you. Come.
Cheers!
Thank you. Thank you.
I want some meat balls.
Be patient. I'll get them some sauce.
Here you are.
Wait. Wait.
There's some garlic.
Will it affect the wound?
You can have some garlic.
Garlic helps detoxify.
I can finally have some meat,
instead of having porridge all the time.
Get me some tripe. Hurry.
OK.
OK. OK.
Be careful. It's still hot.
What brought you here?
Ziqiu said you were going to have hot pot, so I came.
Make yourself at home and eat more.
After all, you are my client.
He is your client?
Get me a bottle of beer.
Let's drink.
To our cooperation!
To our cooperation!
I'm so happy today.
Please eat more and it's on me!
Come! Let's drink!
Cheers!
It's on you. It's on you.
Cheers!
I can't hide my distressed expression
I'm lonely and I don't know what to do
Tang Can, you're awesome!
When I'm alone
it's so quiet that I can only hear my heartbeats
Please don't ask about
what happened
It really takes a lot
to fall in love with you
Qi Mingyue, Qi Mingyue,
do you have a boyfriend?
No.
Then what do you think
about Ling Xiao and Ziqiu?
I think
they're fine and we're familiar with each other.
Look at the three of them!
They've been so close to each other
since their childhood,
so those men with sister complex
can't be a good boyfriend.
Because in their eyes,
their sisters are always the most important.
Why?
they're so nice to their sister,
and they'll be nice to their girlfriends too.
Ling Xiao and Ziqiu
are not Jianjian's real brothers.
I think
two of them
will become a couple in the end.
Li Jianjian and Ziqiu?
Or Ling Xiao and Jianjian.
That's impossible.
Ling Xiao is in love with someone else.
Eat this. Eat this.
Ling Xiao is in love with someone else?
Who?
I'm not sure.
Drink less beer. It's bad for your health.
I'm happy.
Jianjian,
did Tang Can teach you how to drink?
It must be.
No.
You think Tang Can
is the play girl,
but actually,
it's Mingyue who likes drinking
and singing.
See?
It really takes a lot
to fall in love with you
I was wrong about her.
You're so excited.
I want to drink.
Call me bro.
Bro.
No!
You're wounded. You can't have beer.
Put something in the pot.
You're unbelievable!
How to sing this?
If Ziqiu died
in the car accident yesterday,
I would have really
regretted it.
Xiao, Ziqiu,
I sincerely welcome you back.
Beer!
Come. Let's have beer.
Then from now on,
we'll just be like what we used to be.
Yes!
Come! Cheers!
Cheers!
Come!
Cheers!
Good.
I need to go to the bathroom.
In such a situation,
can't you wait a little longer?
It's a physiological need.
What can I do with it?
Let's go.
Across the valley
and across the sky
Hello?
Hello?
Who is that?
Why did you answer my brother's phone?
Mei
This, this is
Is that Li Jianjian?
That must be Chengzi.
Xiao is
Your brother is in the bathroom.
When will he come back?
He'll be back soon.
I'll let him call you back later.
I mean when he will come back
to Singapore.
He promised
to come back in a month.
Never mind. Just ask him to call me back.
Bye.
Li Jianjian, it's your song!
Come over here!
Li Jianjian?
Li Jianjian, get up.
Get up and sing.
Li Jianjian, don't sleep here.
Get up.
Jianjian.
She's asleep.
Jianjian.
Let me help you.
Jianjian, go back to your room to sleep.
I'll be always happy
Where are her slippers?
To write a poem
You sing it.
Waiting to be noticed
And I want to untie
those misunderstandings between us
to create a unique feeling
When I met you, it was like a bamboo forest meeting the early summer
and a bird meeting the sea wave
What a silly girl!
She hasn't grown up.
Don't say that.
She's already a grown-up young woman.
She's already had a relationship.
I thought there was something wrong
with Zheng Shuran,
but now I think he's fine.
He's not a bad man.
She's a grown-up young woman
and you can't stop her.
So just let her do it.
She can do anything else,
but not this.
Now I'm happy
that I don't have a big brother.
Maybe she hates me too.
I didn't say I hated you.
I want someone
to take care of me
and keep an eye on me.
Really?
Yes.
Please be more confident.
Who would dislike you?
Don't touch me!
Alright, Li Jianjian,
wipe your face before going to sleep.
What's wrong?
It's uncomfortable.
What's uncomfortable?
I forgot to take off her socks.
OK. You don't need to see me off.
Just go back.
Then I will go directly to your home the day after tomorrow.
OK. Have a meal with my mother and spend some time with her.
Have you friended her on WeChat?
Yes, I have.
OK. I'm leaving now.
Go back home.
Wait!
Wait. Wait.
Mr. Zhuang, is this your phone?
I forgot it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Then I'm leaving now.
Take care.
Why did he take a picture of us?
Because he wanted to have
the picture of a beauty.
This is unbearable!
A flower blooms in my heart every day
Xiao, welcome home!
Sleep tight!
Li Jianjian, what are you doing?
OK. OK.
Strawberry jam, strawberry jam.
Jianjian.
Yesterday,
I saw that Chengzi
called me.
Did you answer it?
I didn't mean to do that.
I thought it was mine.
I forgot to tell you
that she asked you to call her back.
What did she say?
She just asked you to call her back.
Will you still go to the shop?
Can you work with your arms like this?
I have to go.
I don't know
how it's going
these days.
Not bad.
You do look like a boss.
Of course.
I have to take care
of you and dad in the future.
I
took Xiao's phone by mistake yesterday
and I answered
a call from his younger sister in Singapore.
What did she say?
Xiao told them
that he would go back
in a month.
Don't listen to her.
If he would come back for only a month,
why would he have found a job here?
I know.
So Xiao lied to them,
or he wouldn't have been able to come back.
Yeah.
I was wondering
why his mother
had let him come back so easily.
What to do now?
Nothing.
Even he can't do anything about it.
Did you lie to Zhao Huaguang
to come back too?
No.
Zhao Huaguang doesn't care where I am.
Well, he can't stop you anyway.
What are you talking about?
His father.
Zhao Huaguang isn't my father!
Biological father, OK?
Can't you stop it?
See?
Eat my food and smash my plate.
It's fine.
Let's eat.
We've made an appointment,
but Haichao
backed out suddenly.
How could he?
Heping,
would you like to try it?
Well,
a policeman and a teacher can be a great couple.
Come on, Mrs. Qian.
I've finally took two days off,
so please don't get me some more work.
How is this work?
Or would you like to talk to Haichao?
You two are good friends.
What should
I talk to him?
To persuade him to forget about He Mei.
He Mei?
Mrs. Qian,
that was a long time ago
and he has forgotten about her.
You don't know it.
Back then,
Haichao went to several blind dates
and he liked He Mei the most.
If it had continued,
they would have got married.
But in the end, He Mei refused him.
So there must have been
a shadow one his mind.
Really?
Sure.
Miss Zhu,
why hasn't Mr. Li
come back from the grocery?
He didn't go to the grocery.
He went to see Ziqiu.
Your coffee.
OK. Thank you.
Your pie.
Thank you.
Welcome! Please come and order inside.
Dad, you're here.
Since you're wounded like this,
why don't you rest for a few more days?
It's fine. It has formed a scab.
I'm fine.
Hello, Mr. He.
No.
This is Mr. Li.
I don't have my father's last name.
Hello, Mr. Li.
Go on with your job.
OK.
Make a cup of tea for my dad.
OK!
Dad, let's go upstairs.
What's this?
Fried dumplings for you.
Fried dumplings! Great!
Are they cold?
No, they're still warm.
OK. OK.
There're two fillings. Try them both.
Dad, my coffee shop is not bad, right?
It's good.
How is business?
We're doing activities for the soft opening
and we have a lot of clients every day.
Good.
You know what,
it's really hard
to run a shop.
You young people
are always passionate
but without a long-term plan.
Don't worry, Dad.
I used to work
in a coffee shop before
and I've tried every kind of work
from cook to waiter.
I'm not just passionate about it.
Well,
didn't you work in a hotel restaurant
after graduation?
When did you work in a coffee shop?
I planned to come back
and open a coffee shop,
so
I went to work
to learn more
about the management of a coffee shop.
You always
report only the good
but not the bad over the phone.
It's the same with Ling Xiao.
When I call,
he always says, "I'm fine.
Don't worry about me.
I just don't sleep well."
I know
he has the anxiety disorder.
There's something on his mind.
If there's something on your mind,
you have to tell me.
I got it, Dad.
It was not that I didn't want to tell you,
but we were so far away from each other
and I didn't want you to worry about me.
I'm different from Ling Xiao.
His mother and sister
pester him like two vampires.
Who could sleep well
with some burden like that?
They have their difficulties.
Let's not talk about it since we don't know it well.
Life is hard for everyone.
Then I won't talk about it.
I know there's something on your mind.
So be honest with me.
Do you want
to see your mother
all these years?
Why do I want to see her?
She abandoned me.
Your mother is not a bad person.
Life is hard for Chen Ting
and He Mei is not a bad person.
In your eyes,
there's no bad person in this world.
She just knew
that you were such a good man
that you would take in
even the abandoned cat and dog.
What are you talking about?
You're not an abandoned cat or dog.
Neither of you
are abandoned.
Do you have her phone number?
If you really want to see her,
I can get it for you.
Dad, forget it.
It has been so many years,
and she must have forgotten about us.
Stop worrying about it.
And what can I say to her
right now?
You are my family
and she's just a stranger.
It's hard to say
about who's our family.
You're right.
I shouldn't have said that.
No,
I didn't mean that.
I know what you meant, Dad.
You wanted to say
that nothing is absolute.
I'm not a well-educated man,
so I can't lecture you
about life philosophy,
but after so many years,
I do have some experience, right?
There's a saying,
"Don't be too hard on yourself."
Things come and things go.
Everything has its time.
I know what you want to say, Dad.
You want to say
that we should let nature
take its course, right?
Yes.
Look,
since we should let nature take its course,
won't you be interfering with it
if you go and look for her?
You're right.
I used to straighten things out
for you,
but now you're straightening things out
for me.
Dad, I will not only straighten things out for you,
I will also take good care of you.
OK!
Then I'll be just an idler
and let you take care of me.
No problem.
Eat that one.
That one has another kind of filling.
This one?
Yes, try this one.
I've told the driver
about your situation
and the driver has checked the orders.
He said that he picked her up at Huaxing Road
and sent her to Guomao Lanhai.
Running helps us secrete dopamine
which makes us feel better.
When we get tired,
we'll go back and take a hot bath
and then go to bed comfortably.
I'm a doctor.
You don't have to tell me about that.
You are a dentist
and you need to see a doctor when you're sick.
Be my doctor, please.
I can't be a doctor,
but I do know you well.
There's something on your mind
and you have to let it go.
You're my doctor
and you can help me get better.
That's gross!
I mean it.
I think you've made my bedroom
much more comfortable.
I didn't do it alone.
Mingyue did most of it.
Then who bought the book?
I did.
I like that book.
I think there's something
really great in it.
For example,
"I finally understand
that one can't take care of everything
on their own.
Even the shadow of a white cloud
can be suffocating."
What were you laughing at?
Since our childhood,
you can always help me get better.
Stop it! It's gross!
I need to tell you something serious.
Next Saturday
it's the 21st anniversary of my mother's death.
I know it. Your dad has told me.
It's been 21 years.
My dad has been widowed for 21 years.
He has spent these years taking care of his children.
I've had a happy childhood,
but it was hard for him.
I really regret it.
I shouldn't have stopped him
from getting married again.
Do you still remember Ziqiu's mother?
Yes.
I saw her just a few times,
and it was always
when she came to pick Ziqiu up.
She's pretty,
a little cold and she doesn't talk much.
Why did you suddenly bring her up?
I think she refused my dad back then
because of me.
Why do you think so?
If my blind date
had such
a troublesome daughter,
I would have ran away too.
And at that time,
Ziqiu had already called
my father dad,
and she didn't stop it.
I was afraid
that she might abuse me
after getting married with my dad.
And I even cried
in the quilt alone.
I think you hid in the quilt
to have some sweets.
Sweets can make people feel better.
It's my strategy.
Fine.
I didn't know why people had to get married
when I was little,
and I made some mistakes.
Now it's good
since you've come back.
From now on,
the three of us
can be with our dads.
Let's run.
Let's secret dopamine.
Xiao, hurry up.
Let's secret dopamine.
Let's run.
Hello, Aunt.
I wanted to go and visit you
in the countryside when I got time.
OK, I'll tell my dad about it.
Come and have a dinner here.
No trouble at all.
OK, see you the day after tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Your aunt will come to visit you?
She said that her ducks
got sick,
so she had to come here to buy some medicine.
And she'll come to see me by the way.
I'm going to take a bath.
OK.
Ling Xiao, your phone!
It's from your mother.
You're going back to Singapore?
You've got an appointment.
Coffee for you.
Thank you.
Put it over there, please.
You don't have to be so polite.
We're colleagues.
Do you have time tomorrow night?
Secret Love for the Peach Blossom Spring
is going to perform here.
I'm sorry.
I'm going back to Singapore tomorrow.
But you've just come here for a month.
Are you missing the girl that you're in love with?
I'm not being mean,
but it's hard to have a long-distance relationship.
I know
it's hard.
Luckily,
the girl that I'm in love with is right here.
She's here?
Didn't you leave here after high school graduation?
About just that time.
She was your high school schoolmate?
Yes.
Your classmate?
She's two years younger than me.
Xiao, Miss Feng.
Mingyue, you're here.
I came to have my teeth cleaned.
Which doctor?
Dr. Feng Xixi.
It's me.
Would you please
be nicer
to my boyfriend?
I'm an artist.
What kind of boyfriend
do you want me to have?
It was not me who brought him up.
Let's talk.
He likes watching girls,
but he's not obscene.
How to put it?
When I was a kid,
I always held
a sugar jar
and to him, the girls' waists
are like a sugar jar.
Got it?
You don't need
my permission
to have a boyfriend, do you?
Even so,
I don't want you
to misunderstand him.
There's no misunderstanding.
I just don't like him.
Why?
Never mind.
Open your mouth.
I'll tell you why when I come back.
Where are you going?
Singapore.
You're going back to Singapore?
I'm not going back. I'm going
to take care of something there.
I'll probably
come back before your mother's death anniversary.
Lie down and don't move.
It's in the middle of your treatment.
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Are you a schoolmate
of Ling Xiao's sister?
Yes, we were in the same class.
Back then,
Ling Xiao must have been very popular.
Kind of.
He didn't talk much
and no one dared to talk to him.
Was he in love
with someone in your high school?
Maybe some girl two years younger
than him?
Did Ling Xiao tell you something?
When we were chatting,
he mentioned
that he was in love with a schoolmate
who was two years younger than him.
Two years younger than him?
You don't know it?
I don't know it.
Well, it was a secret love.
Why did he even tell you
about his secret love?
Because we're friends.
We invite each other to dinner and coffee
and sometimes modern drama.
Lie down, please.
Li Jianjian,
who do you think
is Ling Xiao's first love?
A schoolmate
who's two years younger than him.
Who else could it be apart from you?
Are you upset
that your brother is in love with me?
Xiao is going back to Singapore.
Do you know that?
Why is he going back to Singapore?
Didn't he just come back?
He told his mother that he would come back for just a month.
Will he come back?
He said that he would come back this Friday.
Good then. Good then.
Aren't you in love
with Ziqiu?
Can you please
stop embarrassing me?
You're shamed into anger!
Don't think I dare not fight back
just because you're going to be my sister-in-law!
I'm not in love with your brother!
OK. I'll shut up! I'll shut up!
What would you like to eat for lunch?
My mom wants to see me for lunch.
You go back to the studio.
Why does she want to see you again?
She's going to have a lunch with her friend
and her friend said that it had been a while since she had seen me the last time,
so she wanted to see me.
OK, got it, sister-in-law.
Can't you shut up?
Can't you? Can't you?
Mom, Mrs. Chen.
Mingyue, you're here.
Come. Sit down.
Didn't I ask you
to dress up
before you got out?
Mrs. Chen watched me grow up.
To meet her is like
to meet my own mother.
Why should I dress up?
Why are we going to have western food?
Don't you like
Chaoshan hot pot?
You young people
prefer these restaurants
with better environment,
right?
There's someone else?
Mr. Chen is here too?
Yes, he went to the bathroom.
But it's not Mr. Chen.
Your mother didn't tell you clearly about this.
Actually, she's
Let me do it.
Here is the thing.
When I went to
Mrs. Chen's office last time,
I saw
a great young man there.
I've asked about it.
He's a postgraduate
from a national key university.
Both of his parents
work in institutions
and he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
You can barely know
any young men
in your office,
so I asked Mrs. Chen
to arrange this dinner
to introduce you to each other.
Mom, why didn't you tell me
it was a blind date?
It's not a blind date.
It's just for you
to meet some new friend.
Didn't you have dinners like this
when you were in college?
Jianyang.
Come, let me introduce to you.
This is Mrs. Qi's daughter,
Qi Mingyue.
Mingyue,
this is Lu Jianyang.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Come. Sit down, please.
Jianyang, have a look at the menu.
Order whatever you like.
Let's order.
Are you going to the bathroom?
Go now.
Mom,
I have an interview later,
so I have to go now.
How could you leave
in the middle of our dinner?
Mrs. Chen will be embarrassed
by you.
Mom, please don't do this again.
I'm just 25 years old.
Do I have to go on blind dates?
When I was at your age,
you were old enough to call me mom.
If I don't do this for you,
do you think that good young men
will fall from the heaven?
Why didn't you ask me
if I was in love with someone?
OK. Please tell me
if you're in love
with someone.
Yes, I am.
Who is it? Do I know him?
OK. Stop being childish.
I think
this young man is not bad.
He's quite honest.
Friend him on WeChat first.
Anyway I've told all my friends
to look out for you.
There'll be other young men if you don't like this one.
I've already have a boyfriend.
OK. Take him home and introduce him to me.
OK, I'll take him home in a couple of days.
Don't look down on me.
OK, I'll wait and see.
Anyway, don't think about
going to work
in Beijing anymore.
Get well prepared for the civil service examination.
Mom!
It's settled. Behave yourself now.
Go to the bathroom now
and come back to the dinner.
Episode 18
It's said
that elites
in certain areas
are more likely to have depression.
It makes sense for Ling Xiao
to have anxiety disorder.
He's so smart. No wonder he has it.
Cut it out.
It has nothing
to do with that.
Then it must be because of his mother.
How should I live
with such
a mother-in-law?
I think we should buy a book
that makes people sleepy,
maybe a world-famous book
like One Hundred Years of Solitude.
It makes me sleepy every time.
OK, I'll take this one.
It'll make him sleepy.
Let's go. We still have to
pick a wallpaper.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Take care. Take care.
Let's do it.
Good.
Are you sure it'll work?
Of course!
When he feel relaxed,
he'll feel better
and fall asleep easily.
Slower. Slower.
OK. OK.
Change your shoes.
Well,
I have to take a shower.
No!
What if your wound
gets wet?
How about you wait a little longer?
I can't wait.
It itches all over my body.
Li Jianjian,
no,
Ling Xiao, help me take a bath.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up!
I feel so itchy!
Let's go.
Don't get the wound wet.
How nice! I want to have a brother too.
So he can help you take a bath?
Take them over here after the shower.
We're going to have hot pot.
Ziqiu is like this,
and you want him to eat hot pot?
It's a two-flavor hot pot.
OK. OK.
Don't you want to eat?
I'm back.
You're back.
Let me introduce.
Please come in.
Mingyue, do you still remember him?
When we were in high school,
the one
who was really good
at basketball,
Zhuang Bei.
This is Qi Mingyue.
I remember him.
Hello.
Why are you standing there?
We're all schoolmates. Sit down, please.
Yes, we're all schoolmates.
Friend me on WeChat.
In a minute. My phone is getting recharged right now.
OK!
I'm going over there.
Hasn't Tang Can come back?
She prepared all these dishes,
but she dares not to see you.
Why did you stand at the door?
Why didn't you knock at the door?
I didn't knock before.
Let me see. Let me see.
Yes.
Does it hurt?
It's fine. It's fine.
Really.
You just beat me, right?
No! I didn't mean it.
Then slap me now.
Slap my naturally beautiful face.
Are you out of your mind?
Who would apologize like this?
Don't be mad at me.
How could you
do that to me?
I'm sorry.
I thought
you had known that he was fine.
I swear that I won't do it again.
Please don't be mad at me.
Hit me.
Hit me, please.
Hit me.
Hit me, please.
I won't hit you. I kiss you.
Love you!
My dear Jianjian,
you are really my little angel!
Congratulations to you
for becoming friends again.
Come and join us.
Your dream guy is here.
Zhuang Bei?
I'm going to put on makeup.
We're going to have hotpot.
Why would you put on makeup?
That's weird!
You're already so pretty without makeup.
You don't understand girls
and I can't communicate with your guys.
Let's eat.
Where is Tang Can?
She's removing makeup. Let's eat first.
Let's eat now. Come.
Let's eat.
What would you like to have?
Meat balls.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Come. Let's have a toast
to celebrate Ziqiu's escaping from death
in a great catastrophe!
OK.
Come. Thank you. Thank you. Come.
Cheers!
Thank you. Thank you.
I want some meat balls.
Be patient. I'll get them some sauce.
Here you are.
Wait. Wait.
There's some garlic.
Will it affect the wound?
You can have some garlic.
Garlic helps detoxify.
I can finally have some meat,
instead of having porridge all the time.
Get me some tripe. Hurry.
OK.
OK. OK.
Be careful. It's still hot.
What brought you here?
Ziqiu said you were going to have hot pot, so I came.
Make yourself at home and eat more.
After all, you are my client.
He is your client?
Get me a bottle of beer.
Let's drink.
To our cooperation!
To our cooperation!
I'm so happy today.
Please eat more and it's on me!
Come! Let's drink!
Cheers!
It's on you. It's on you.
Cheers!
I can't hide my distressed expression
I'm lonely and I don't know what to do
Tang Can, you're awesome!
When I'm alone
it's so quiet that I can only hear my heartbeats
Please don't ask about
what happened
It really takes a lot
to fall in love with you
Qi Mingyue, Qi Mingyue,
do you have a boyfriend?
No.
Then what do you think
about Ling Xiao and Ziqiu?
I think
they're fine and we're familiar with each other.
Look at the three of them!
They've been so close to each other
since their childhood,
so those men with sister complex
can't be a good boyfriend.
Because in their eyes,
their sisters are always the most important.
Why?
they're so nice to their sister,
and they'll be nice to their girlfriends too.
Ling Xiao and Ziqiu
are not Jianjian's real brothers.
I think
two of them
will become a couple in the end.
Li Jianjian and Ziqiu?
Or Ling Xiao and Jianjian.
That's impossible.
Ling Xiao is in love with someone else.
Eat this. Eat this.
Ling Xiao is in love with someone else?
Who?
I'm not sure.
Drink less beer. It's bad for your health.
I'm happy.
Jianjian,
did Tang Can teach you how to drink?
It must be.
No.
You think Tang Can
is the play girl,
but actually,
it's Mingyue who likes drinking
and singing.
See?
It really takes a lot
to fall in love with you
I was wrong about her.
You're so excited.
I want to drink.
Call me bro.
Bro.
No!
You're wounded. You can't have beer.
Put something in the pot.
You're unbelievable!
How to sing this?
If Ziqiu died
in the car accident yesterday,
I would have really
regretted it.
Xiao, Ziqiu,
I sincerely welcome you back.
Beer!
Come. Let's have beer.
Then from now on,
we'll just be like what we used to be.
Yes!
Come! Cheers!
Cheers!
Come!
Cheers!
Good.
I need to go to the bathroom.
In such a situation,
can't you wait a little longer?
It's a physiological need.
What can I do with it?
Let's go.
Across the valley
and across the sky
Hello?
Hello?
Who is that?
Why did you answer my brother's phone?
Mei
This, this is
Is that Li Jianjian?
That must be Chengzi.
Xiao is
Your brother is in the bathroom.
When will he come back?
He'll be back soon.
I'll let him call you back later.
I mean when he will come back
to Singapore.
He promised
to come back in a month.
Never mind. Just ask him to call me back.
Bye.
Li Jianjian, it's your song!
Come over here!
Li Jianjian?
Li Jianjian, get up.
Get up and sing.
Li Jianjian, don't sleep here.
Get up.
Jianjian.
She's asleep.
Jianjian.
Let me help you.
Jianjian, go back to your room to sleep.
I'll be always happy
Where are her slippers?
To write a poem
You sing it.
Waiting to be noticed
And I want to untie
those misunderstandings between us
to create a unique feeling
When I met you, it was like a bamboo forest meeting the early summer
and a bird meeting the sea wave
What a silly girl!
She hasn't grown up.
Don't say that.
She's already a grown-up young woman.
She's already had a relationship.
I thought there was something wrong
with Zheng Shuran,
but now I think he's fine.
He's not a bad man.
She's a grown-up young woman
and you can't stop her.
So just let her do it.
She can do anything else,
but not this.
Now I'm happy
that I don't have a big brother.
Maybe she hates me too.
I didn't say I hated you.
I want someone
to take care of me
and keep an eye on me.
Really?
Yes.
Please be more confident.
Who would dislike you?
Don't touch me!
Alright, Li Jianjian,
wipe your face before going to sleep.
What's wrong?
It's uncomfortable.
What's uncomfortable?
I forgot to take off her socks.
OK. You don't need to see me off.
Just go back.
Then I will go directly to your home the day after tomorrow.
OK. Have a meal with my mother and spend some time with her.
Have you friended her on WeChat?
Yes, I have.
OK. I'm leaving now.
Go back home.
Wait!
Wait. Wait.
Mr. Zhuang, is this your phone?
I forgot it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Then I'm leaving now.
Take care.
Why did he take a picture of us?
Because he wanted to have
the picture of a beauty.
This is unbearable!
A flower blooms in my heart every day
Xiao, welcome home!
Sleep tight!
Li Jianjian, what are you doing?
OK. OK.
Strawberry jam, strawberry jam.
Jianjian.
Yesterday,
I saw that Chengzi
called me.
Did you answer it?
I didn't mean to do that.
I thought it was mine.
I forgot to tell you
that she asked you to call her back.
What did she say?
She just asked you to call her back.
Will you still go to the shop?
Can you work with your arms like this?
I have to go.
I don't know
how it's going
these days.
Not bad.
You do look like a boss.
Of course.
I have to take care
of you and dad in the future.
I
took Xiao's phone by mistake yesterday
and I answered
a call from his younger sister in Singapore.
What did she say?
Xiao told them
that he would go back
in a month.
Don't listen to her.
If he would come back for only a month,
why would he have found a job here?
I know.
So Xiao lied to them,
or he wouldn't have been able to come back.
Yeah.
I was wondering
why his mother
had let him come back so easily.
What to do now?
Nothing.
Even he can't do anything about it.
Did you lie to Zhao Huaguang
to come back too?
No.
Zhao Huaguang doesn't care where I am.
Well, he can't stop you anyway.
What are you talking about?
His father.
Zhao Huaguang isn't my father!
Biological father, OK?
Can't you stop it?
See?
Eat my food and smash my plate.
It's fine.
Let's eat.
We've made an appointment,
but Haichao
backed out suddenly.
How could he?
Heping,
would you like to try it?
Well,
a policeman and a teacher can be a great couple.
Come on, Mrs. Qian.
I've finally took two days off,
so please don't get me some more work.
How is this work?
Or would you like to talk to Haichao?
You two are good friends.
What should
I talk to him?
To persuade him to forget about He Mei.
He Mei?
Mrs. Qian,
that was a long time ago
and he has forgotten about her.
You don't know it.
Back then,
Haichao went to several blind dates
and he liked He Mei the most.
If it had continued,
they would have got married.
But in the end, He Mei refused him.
So there must have been
a shadow one his mind.
Really?
Sure.
Miss Zhu,
why hasn't Mr. Li
come back from the grocery?
He didn't go to the grocery.
He went to see Ziqiu.
Your coffee.
OK. Thank you.
Your pie.
Thank you.
Welcome! Please come and order inside.
Dad, you're here.
Since you're wounded like this,
why don't you rest for a few more days?
It's fine. It has formed a scab.
I'm fine.
Hello, Mr. He.
No.
This is Mr. Li.
I don't have my father's last name.
Hello, Mr. Li.
Go on with your job.
OK.
Make a cup of tea for my dad.
OK!
Dad, let's go upstairs.
What's this?
Fried dumplings for you.
Fried dumplings! Great!
Are they cold?
No, they're still warm.
OK. OK.
There're two fillings. Try them both.
Dad, my coffee shop is not bad, right?
It's good.
How is business?
We're doing activities for the soft opening
and we have a lot of clients every day.
Good.
You know what,
it's really hard
to run a shop.
You young people
are always passionate
but without a long-term plan.
Don't worry, Dad.
I used to work
in a coffee shop before
and I've tried every kind of work
from cook to waiter.
I'm not just passionate about it.
Well,
didn't you work in a hotel restaurant
after graduation?
When did you work in a coffee shop?
I planned to come back
and open a coffee shop,
so
I went to work
to learn more
about the management of a coffee shop.
You always
report only the good
but not the bad over the phone.
It's the same with Ling Xiao.
When I call,
he always says, "I'm fine.
Don't worry about me.
I just don't sleep well."
I know
he has the anxiety disorder.
There's something on his mind.
If there's something on your mind,
you have to tell me.
I got it, Dad.
It was not that I didn't want to tell you,
but we were so far away from each other
and I didn't want you to worry about me.
I'm different from Ling Xiao.
His mother and sister
pester him like two vampires.
Who could sleep well
with some burden like that?
They have their difficulties.
Let's not talk about it since we don't know it well.
Life is hard for everyone.
Then I won't talk about it.
I know there's something on your mind.
So be honest with me.
Do you want
to see your mother
all these years?
Why do I want to see her?
She abandoned me.
Your mother is not a bad person.
Life is hard for Chen Ting
and He Mei is not a bad person.
In your eyes,
there's no bad person in this world.
She just knew
that you were such a good man
that you would take in
even the abandoned cat and dog.
What are you talking about?
You're not an abandoned cat or dog.
Neither of you
are abandoned.
Do you have her phone number?
If you really want to see her,
I can get it for you.
Dad, forget it.
It has been so many years,
and she must have forgotten about us.
Stop worrying about it.
And what can I say to her
right now?
You are my family
and she's just a stranger.
It's hard to say
about who's our family.
You're right.
I shouldn't have said that.
No,
I didn't mean that.
I know what you meant, Dad.
You wanted to say
that nothing is absolute.
I'm not a well-educated man,
so I can't lecture you
about life philosophy,
but after so many years,
I do have some experience, right?
There's a saying,
"Don't be too hard on yourself."
Things come and things go.
Everything has its time.
I know what you want to say, Dad.
You want to say
that we should let nature
take its course, right?
Yes.
Look,
since we should let nature take its course,
won't you be interfering with it
if you go and look for her?
You're right.
I used to straighten things out
for you,
but now you're straightening things out
for me.
Dad, I will not only straighten things out for you,
I will also take good care of you.
OK!
Then I'll be just an idler
and let you take care of me.
No problem.
Eat that one.
That one has another kind of filling.
This one?
Yes, try this one.
I've told the driver
about your situation
and the driver has checked the orders.
He said that he picked her up at Huaxing Road
and sent her to Guomao Lanhai.
Running helps us secrete dopamine
which makes us feel better.
When we get tired,
we'll go back and take a hot bath
and then go to bed comfortably.
I'm a doctor.
You don't have to tell me about that.
You are a dentist
and you need to see a doctor when you're sick.
Be my doctor, please.
I can't be a doctor,
but I do know you well.
There's something on your mind
and you have to let it go.
You're my doctor
and you can help me get better.
That's gross!
I mean it.
I think you've made my bedroom
much more comfortable.
I didn't do it alone.
Mingyue did most of it.
Then who bought the book?
I did.
I like that book.
I think there's something
really great in it.
For example,
"I finally understand
that one can't take care of everything
on their own.
Even the shadow of a white cloud
can be suffocating."
What were you laughing at?
Since our childhood,
you can always help me get better.
Stop it! It's gross!
I need to tell you something serious.
Next Saturday
it's the 21st anniversary of my mother's death.
I know it. Your dad has told me.
It's been 21 years.
My dad has been widowed for 21 years.
He has spent these years taking care of his children.
I've had a happy childhood,
but it was hard for him.
I really regret it.
I shouldn't have stopped him
from getting married again.
Do you still remember Ziqiu's mother?
Yes.
I saw her just a few times,
and it was always
when she came to pick Ziqiu up.
She's pretty,
a little cold and she doesn't talk much.
Why did you suddenly bring her up?
I think she refused my dad back then
because of me.
Why do you think so?
If my blind date
had such
a troublesome daughter,
I would have ran away too.
And at that time,
Ziqiu had already called
my father dad,
and she didn't stop it.
I was afraid
that she might abuse me
after getting married with my dad.
And I even cried
in the quilt alone.
I think you hid in the quilt
to have some sweets.
Sweets can make people feel better.
It's my strategy.
Fine.
I didn't know why people had to get married
when I was little,
and I made some mistakes.
Now it's good
since you've come back.
From now on,
the three of us
can be with our dads.
Let's run.
Let's secret dopamine.
Xiao, hurry up.
Let's secret dopamine.
Let's run.
Hello, Aunt.
I wanted to go and visit you
in the countryside when I got time.
OK, I'll tell my dad about it.
Come and have a dinner here.
No trouble at all.
OK, see you the day after tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Your aunt will come to visit you?
She said that her ducks
got sick,
so she had to come here to buy some medicine.
And she'll come to see me by the way.
I'm going to take a bath.
OK.
Ling Xiao, your phone!
It's from your mother.
You're going back to Singapore?
You've got an appointment.
Coffee for you.
Thank you.
Put it over there, please.
You don't have to be so polite.
We're colleagues.
Do you have time tomorrow night?
Secret Love for the Peach Blossom Spring
is going to perform here.
I'm sorry.
I'm going back to Singapore tomorrow.
But you've just come here for a month.
Are you missing the girl that you're in love with?
I'm not being mean,
but it's hard to have a long-distance relationship.
I know
it's hard.
Luckily,
the girl that I'm in love with is right here.
She's here?
Didn't you leave here after high school graduation?
About just that time.
She was your high school schoolmate?
Yes.
Your classmate?
She's two years younger than me.
Xiao, Miss Feng.
Mingyue, you're here.
I came to have my teeth cleaned.
Which doctor?
Dr. Feng Xixi.
It's me.
Would you please
be nicer
to my boyfriend?
I'm an artist.
What kind of boyfriend
do you want me to have?
It was not me who brought him up.
Let's talk.
He likes watching girls,
but he's not obscene.
How to put it?
When I was a kid,
I always held
a sugar jar
and to him, the girls' waists
are like a sugar jar.
Got it?
You don't need
my permission
to have a boyfriend, do you?
Even so,
I don't want you
to misunderstand him.
There's no misunderstanding.
I just don't like him.
Why?
Never mind.
Open your mouth.
I'll tell you why when I come back.
Where are you going?
Singapore.
You're going back to Singapore?
I'm not going back. I'm going
to take care of something there.
I'll probably
come back before your mother's death anniversary.
Lie down and don't move.
It's in the middle of your treatment.
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth.
Are you a schoolmate
of Ling Xiao's sister?
Yes, we were in the same class.
Back then,
Ling Xiao must have been very popular.
Kind of.
He didn't talk much
and no one dared to talk to him.
Was he in love
with someone in your high school?
Maybe some girl two years younger
than him?
Did Ling Xiao tell you something?
When we were chatting,
he mentioned
that he was in love with a schoolmate
who was two years younger than him.
Two years younger than him?
You don't know it?
I don't know it.
Well, it was a secret love.
Why did he even tell you
about his secret love?
Because we're friends.
We invite each other to dinner and coffee
and sometimes modern drama.
Lie down, please.
Li Jianjian,
who do you think
is Ling Xiao's first love?
A schoolmate
who's two years younger than him.
Who else could it be apart from you?
Are you upset
that your brother is in love with me?
Xiao is going back to Singapore.
Do you know that?
Why is he going back to Singapore?
Didn't he just come back?
He told his mother that he would come back for just a month.
Will he come back?
He said that he would come back this Friday.
Good then. Good then.
Aren't you in love
with Ziqiu?
Can you please
stop embarrassing me?
You're shamed into anger!
Don't think I dare not fight back
just because you're going to be my sister-in-law!
I'm not in love with your brother!
OK. I'll shut up! I'll shut up!
What would you like to eat for lunch?
My mom wants to see me for lunch.
You go back to the studio.
Why does she want to see you again?
She's going to have a lunch with her friend
and her friend said that it had been a while since she had seen me the last time,
so she wanted to see me.
OK, got it, sister-in-law.
Can't you shut up?
Can't you? Can't you?
Mom, Mrs. Chen.
Mingyue, you're here.
Come. Sit down.
Didn't I ask you
to dress up
before you got out?
Mrs. Chen watched me grow up.
To meet her is like
to meet my own mother.
Why should I dress up?
Why are we going to have western food?
Don't you like
Chaoshan hot pot?
You young people
prefer these restaurants
with better environment,
right?
There's someone else?
Mr. Chen is here too?
Yes, he went to the bathroom.
But it's not Mr. Chen.
Your mother didn't tell you clearly about this.
Actually, she's
Let me do it.
Here is the thing.
When I went to
Mrs. Chen's office last time,
I saw
a great young man there.
I've asked about it.
He's a postgraduate
from a national key university.
Both of his parents
work in institutions
and he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
You can barely know
any young men
in your office,
so I asked Mrs. Chen
to arrange this dinner
to introduce you to each other.
Mom, why didn't you tell me
it was a blind date?
It's not a blind date.
It's just for you
to meet some new friend.
Didn't you have dinners like this
when you were in college?
Jianyang.
Come, let me introduce to you.
This is Mrs. Qi's daughter,
Qi Mingyue.
Mingyue,
this is Lu Jianyang.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Come. Sit down, please.
Jianyang, have a look at the menu.
Order whatever you like.
Let's order.
Are you going to the bathroom?
Go now.
Mom,
I have an interview later,
so I have to go now.
How could you leave
in the middle of our dinner?
Mrs. Chen will be embarrassed
by you.
Mom, please don't do this again.
I'm just 25 years old.
Do I have to go on blind dates?
When I was at your age,
you were old enough to call me mom.
If I don't do this for you,
do you think that good young men
will fall from the heaven?
Why didn't you ask me
if I was in love with someone?
OK. Please tell me
if you're in love
with someone.
Yes, I am.
Who is it? Do I know him?
OK. Stop being childish.
I think
this young man is not bad.
He's quite honest.
Friend him on WeChat first.
Anyway I've told all my friends
to look out for you.
There'll be other young men if you don't like this one.
I've already have a boyfriend.
OK. Take him home and introduce him to me.
OK, I'll take him home in a couple of days.
Don't look down on me.
OK, I'll wait and see.
Anyway, don't think about
going to work
in Beijing anymore.
Get well prepared for the civil service examination.
Mom!
It's settled. Behave yourself now.
Go to the bathroom now
and come back to the dinner.
