Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (2024) s01e20 Episode Script

ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM
BY MOBAO FEIBAO
A car is coming.
I have to go.
Please.
If someone sees us,
my family will know we're dating.
Stay for two more minutes.
Okay?
What are you doing? Stop it.
What if we are discovered?
Behave.
Xiaodong, why are you still here?
Just working.
Could I see the person in charge
of the women's 9-ball team?
Okay.
Both of you go to the meeting room first.
-Xiaodong, bye.
-Xiaodong, bye.
Lin Lin, Xiaodong is looking for you.
Xiaodong?
Both of you two talk.
I'm leaving now. Bye.
-Practice hard.
-Okay.
What's up?
How has Jiang Yang
been doing recently?
Why are you asking me about him?
I saw you driving his car here.
I realize I haven't seen you
for a long time.
We just saw each other
at the airport a few days ago.
Don't you remember?
Do you have something to say to me?
Yes.
Speak up.
It's about Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang.
Both of them?
Aren't they doing fine?
Yin Guo's mom
was the referee for that match.
She has a bad impression of Yiyang.
Later, Mr. He pleaded on his behalf
to reduce his suspension.
This makes things difficult now.
You do care a lot about the guys
from Dongxin City.
Don't be silly.
If I don't, should I care about you?
Anyway, I got it.
We'll talk later.
Yang lent you his car. What will he drive?
Why do you care about his car?
Do you think something is going on
between me and Jiang Yang?
Not really.
You're not interested in him.
That's hard to say.
After all, Jiang Yang
is the boss of Dongxin City.
He's not bad compared to you.
Lin Lin.
All right, I have to go.
Hey.
Drive safely.
Especially on the highway.
Okay.
I got it.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I wish you luck in beating Xiaodong.
That depends on his skills.
Xiaodong.
I'm going in.
-Practice hard.
-Okay.
Nice car.
Give me a lift.
Didn't you drive?
I just saw you,
so I had the driver take the car back.
You have a driver
and still want to ride in my car?
I'll stop by your place on the way.
Coming.
Lin Lin.
Are you packed?
I just finished it.
Your roommate is away?
She went to the dorm next door.
This is the new training plan
for both of you.
Okay.
Remind her to read when she gets back.
There's something else I want to say.
Sure, sit here.
What's the matter?
It's not a big deal.
Duncuo and you…
We are still
in a secret relationship.
I understand.
Xiaodong just told me
that Duncuo will have a long way to go
before winning your family's approval.
Yes.
I think
if others keep talking about it,
it won't be good for our training.
You just met
with Xiaodong, right?
He just came over.
I saw him.
All right.
There's training tomorrow.
You should rest early.
-I'm leaving.
-Okay, see you tomorrow.
See you.
-Bye.
-Go to sleep now.
Good night.
Lin Yiyang, can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
I just wanted to ask you
if Lin Lin ever liked anyone
besides Xiaodong.
No.
Lin Yiyang, you pulled over to text back.
Who is it?
Who else could it be?
Yin Guo is asking
about you and your ex-girlfriend.
We've broken up.
What does she want to know?
Drive.
All right, I'm going to park.
Go to the third floor.
Jiang Yang is there.
-Jiang Yang is there?
-Yes.
I won't go. Drive me back to Bei City.
Why?
Did both of you have a fight?
I never argue with others.
All right, go right now.
If I stop longer, I'll get a ticket.
Quick.
Perfect timing.
Eat with me.
I don't eat anything after 10:00 p.m.
Are you trying to stay in shape?
You're handsome enough.
Are you on guard?
What's going on?
He seems to be irritated by someone.
I just don't want to eat.
Back then in Hull,
we used to drink
and eat together at midnight, right?
Let's skip the drinking.
A competition is coming up.
No alcohol for a month.
Let's have soft drinks instead.
Hey.
Our recent performances are similar.
Are you mad about that?
My people are not at their best.
Otherwise, you can't catch up.
You talk big.
You're more confident
than the former leader of Bei City.
Stop arguing.
Do you want me to lead you over?
Thank you.
Right.
I saw Lin Lin driving your car.
Wasn't her car broken down?
Exactly, it has just been fixed.
I lent my car to her.
You didn't even check it
before letting her drive on the highway?
Did both of you
come back together?
I understand now.
What?
I don't want to drink.
Did you get the wrong idea
because Lin Lin drove my car?
Lin Lin and I have known each other
for over ten years.
If I wanted to, I would've been with her.
Tell him what I did this afternoon.
He was on a blind date.
I guessed right.
Enough.
Do you still like Lin Lin?
I knew it.
Come on.
Read this.
I've read it. What else should I know?
It's not a small matter.
Read it again.
As I said,
I'll cover the larger amount
and you cover the smaller one.
Even brothers are cautious about money.
Aren't we closer than identical twins?
Then we should be more cautious.
We are adults, you know.
Good friends don't involve money.
Otherwise, there'll be no good friends.
You've changed.
You have really changed.
How many then?
You need to sign seven copies.
I just returned, so I'm not familiar
with the house-buying process.
You take care of it
and make them deliver the house sooner.
Understood.
Before the transfer,
try not to let the coach find out.
They say life is fickle,
but the years are ruthless.
When fulfilling filial duties,
we will realize how fast time passes.
If I could come back earlier,
at least I could have
bought this house.
COMMODITY HOUSING CONTRAC
Are you getting married?
Why did you buy a house?
Let your mom sign
on the last page.
Don't tell your dad.
The six of us bought it
for our coach.
Are you kidding? My dad won't accept it.
Let me finish, please.
The seniors didn't join at a good time,
so they retired
before the industry took off.
Lin Yiyang and I are lucky
to join in the good times.
Lin Yiyang and I bought this house
in full, half each.
The seniors didn't contribute money,
but they were witnesses.
It's no big deal.
After all, we can earn money.
You and Yiyang
have indeed done well.
But
what you earn is yours.
There's no need to give my dad this.
It was Yiyang's idea.
He also said
it was a tacky,
but substantial gift.
Well, take it back.
I haven't finished yet.
You hear me out.
My dad doesn't value this kind of stuff.
Do you know
he misses Yiyang?
I do.
So instead of giving me this,
you might as well persuade him
to see my dad.
He has his plans.
Maybe he wants
to clinch the championship this time
and return home in glory.
SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
No coach?
How do you feel about playing
against Xiaodong in the first frame?
It's all right.
My family has been talking about you.
About what?
My aunt is very rigid,
much like Mr. He.
Winning
means nothing to her.
I'm not surprised.
I understand she will not change
her opinion of me
just because my ranking is high now.
I don't believe a successful man
equals a good man.
I do believe
the victor reigns supreme on the field,
but I don't believe it in society.
Me too.
It's useless to say sweet words
to make others see me differently.
Smart people observe how others act
instead of listening to them.
Glad to hear that.
When I made my comeback
in the first match,
no one backstage knew me.
Back then, I wanted to talk to someone.
The first one I thought of was Yin Guo.
I called her
and didn't tell her where I was.
I told her…
I wanted to play matches.
She was happy to hear that.
I told her
that if I didn't achieve good results,
the future might be messy.
Guess what she said?
What did she say?
She said
when I pursued her,
I was a poor student
and she was a common player.
Things couldn't be worse
than that.
In the end,
she said she was ranked third
in the world.
At worst,
I am the boyfriend
of the third-ranked player.
Yin Guo is a treasure.
You're lucky
to have her.
I didn't expect
to play against you in the first frame.
Xiaodong, come on.
Yiyang, good luck.
Come on.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Place your bets.
Let's see who will win.
Meng Xiaodong or Lin Yiyang?
How is the game going?
It hasn't started yet.
Do you want to join us?
-Please come and sit.
-Okay.
I've been expecting this match.
I rushed out and forgot my phone.
It's about to start.
Dear audience
and those who are watching online,
we welcome you to follow
the live broadcast in Suzhou, China,
and focus on the first frame
of the Snooker China Open.
Today, six Chinese players
are qualified for this match.
First, we would like to introduce
to everyone the head referee.
Yin Junsong,
an international referee from China.
Let's welcome him with applause.
Welcome, Yin Junsong.
All right, next up.
Two Chinese players will enter.
The first to enter is Lin Yiyang.
Welcome, Lin Yiyang.
Welcome, Lin Yiyang.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
Next is Meng Xiaodong from China.
Let's welcome him.
Welcome, Meng Xiaodong.
Both players are ready for the match.
-I believe everyone is familiar with them.
-Yes, indeed.
Meng Xiaodong has brought
a lot of glory to our country.
Lin Yiyang has won many victories
over the past year.
The two Chinese players met
in the first round,
attracting great attention.
I believe both of them will be impressive,
living up to expectations.
Yes, I am also looking forward to it.
I would like to remind all of you
to create a good atmosphere for the game.
Please do not walk around
during the match.
Also, please set your mobile phones
to silent mode.
When you take photos,
please turn off your flash.
The match is about to start.
Have a good time.
Lin Yiyang,
your coach is here today.
Did he tell him that I'm here?
I guess so.
Director, please give us a shot
of the audience.
Now on camera,
you'll see He Wenfeng, the founder
of Dongxin City Billiards Club.
He was a coach for the national team.
He has trained
many outstanding snooker players,
including Lin Yiyang,
who is currently on the field
and Jiang Yang, who will be present later.
Okay, dear friends,
amidst your attention and anticipation,
the match officially begins.
Frame one, Lin Yiyang, to break.
-Lin Yiyang was coached by He Wenfeng.
-Watch the television.
Unfortunately,
he left his coach very early.
But today, I can tell
he never forgot his coach.
Yes. His experiences are interesting.
He has lived abroad for many years.
We thought he would not return.
Unexpectedly, he has returned
to the field of the China Open.
LIVE, SNOOKER CHINA OPEN
Yes, it is said that after this match,
he plans to stay.
-I hope that in future competitions…
-Jiang Yang and Meng Xiaodong
will lose their positions.
He's both calculating and talented.
His bow has earned him points.
He has won so much prize money
as soon as he returned.
He's trying to get the prize money.
The prize money
for competitions abroad is substantial.
The 9-ball game is centered in Asia
where top players exist.
Even if he wants to play,
he won't make the cut.
This year's dark horse.
He won the Hangzhou game.
Do you remember him?
All right, guys.
The competition starts this afternoon.
It's a mixed-team game.
Lin Lin.
Lin Lin.
Ms. Lin.
What's up?
Nothing. I have the medicine you want.
I put it in your dorm.
-Thank you.
-I have to go.
You can talk now.
Well…
About this afternoon's competition,
can we choose our own opponents?
Who's your opponent?
If I play a match with Lin Yiyang,
he can't beat me.
Just for the money.
You're sure to win.
Good.
He just told me
that his opponents were weak
and wanted a rival of equal strength.
Male and female players can only play
against each other during training.
I'm rooting for you. Good luck.
You first.
Yin Guo's opponent
is one of the top players.
Yin Guo was the runner-up
at last year's world championship
and the champion of the Hangzhou Game.
She's a key trainee
of the national team, as good as him.
Rookie of the Year
versus Rookie of the Year.
WIDE LEARNING AND BE CAUTIOUS
Playing fastballs?
It's more exciting than the competition.
The match is played
best in 6 out of 11 games.
Lin Yiyang has taken the match point.
The score is 73 to 0.
Yes, even if Meng Xiaodong gets
the chance to clear the table now,
he still needs to play two snookers
to overtake.
Lin Yiyang will win
by playing in the black ball.
Nice shot.
Lin Yiyang successfully
scattered the red balls.
Good.
Great.
Nice.
It seems he wants to win
and go for a perfect score.
WIDE LEARNING AND BE CAUTIOUS
You were great.
Last year,
I played against Lin Yiyang in Hull
and I lost.
His achievements
are not proven with the mouth,
but with this.
Strength is above everything,
right?
Congratulations
to Lin Yiyang for a perfect score
of 147 in this frame.
Yes, on the first day of the main draw,
a local player achieved a 147 break.
-Congratulations.
-The honor belongs not only to Lin Yiyang,
but also to the Chinese contingent.
Yes, thank you, Lin Yiyang
and Meng Xiaodong…
Your coach is too old
to watch a long game.
It's a spectacular game.
In the history of snooker,
the maximum break of 147…
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
…only occurred over 100 times.
And it will be recorded
by the snooker federation.
So congratulations to Lin Yiyang.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Our coach said you played very well.
Where is he?
He's outside.
What?
Are you scared of seeing him?
No offense, but I have to say it.
Your coach is already over 70.
If you must achieve good results
before seeing him,
aren't you afraid
it'll be too late for that?
Let's go.
Dad, he's here.
Yiyang.
Yiyang.
Yiyang.
You've grown so tall.
Yiyang.
It has been so many years.
Your hands are bigger.
I can hardly hold them.
It's overcast.
You don't have to come.
If it rained,
it would be an inconvenience.
Next time,
before my next match,
I will give you a call in advance.
You can watch it at home.
That's good.
Mr. He.
I'll pack up
and take you home.
Let's go home.
Let's go home.
Go home.
Do you remember the time you lived here?
Yes.
Look, nothing has changed.
Dear.
Look who's here.
Yiyang.
Mrs. He.
Do you still remember me?
Of course I do.
You've grown up.
You were still little
when you left Dongxin City.
You've grown up.
Let's stay happy
and not talk about the past.
Your coach was sure
that you were going to win.
He asked me to make a big meal for you.
There's also your favorite stir-fried pork
with green peppers.
He remembers your favorite.
Yes.
I'm so happy.
Come inside, all of you.
-Come.
-Come.
Okay.
