Water.

Thanks.

What happened to your hand?

Who are you?

Tell me. Who are you?

Who are you?

Tell me. Who are you?

Mom, Dad.

Mom.

What? What's wrong?

Jiang was eating there at night

instead of sleeping.

She scared me.

What are you doing?

Why are you acting weird

in the middle of the night?

Do you want to scare our family to death?

Are you stealing rice?

Didn't I feed you enough during the day?

Mom.

Son.

Are you scared?

I'm afraid.

Don't be afraid.

It's okay.

Go back to your room and sleep.

I bumped into something by accident.

If you have something on your mind, why don't you say it?

I don't.

I just bumped into something.

It's time for the art exam.

Take care of yourself.

I will.

What are you doing?

I'm painting a wing.

Later,

the scars will fly away.

Does it look good?

Yes.

[Episode 11]
[Take Care of Yourself]

[3139 days]

[Day 77 of Living Together Officially]

Why isn't the chair by the door?

Was I sleepwalking again?

Morning.

Did I

sleepwalk yesterday?

Did I

do anything inappropriate?

Didn't I tell you last time?

When you see me sleepwalking again,

just pretend you didn't see me.

I haven't said anything yet.

You are rushing to distance yourself from me?

I'm not.

I wanted to remind you.

Want it?

Okay.

What

did I do yesterday?

Were you still up at that hour?

Yes.

Did I really

do something inappropriate?

You didn't do what you did before,

but

you did something much worse.

Did I do something?

Don't think

about those impure things.

So what did I do?

I won't be specific.

I'm afraid that when I'm done,

you'll be devastated

and unable to believe that you could do such a thing.

You're welcome.

I'm

just sweet and forgiving.

But you can tell me.

I can take it.

Forget it. I can't say it.

What would make a person

of your character unable to say it?

Let me put it this way.

I've been in a good mood lately,

so I'll let you off the hook for now,

but later,

I'll make you repay me

little by little.

Then can I repay now?

Now is not the time.

How to repay?

Repay

with money?

Can I

write you a note first?

Because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet.

And if it happens again,

you can hit me

to wake me up.

Who do you think I am?

Now eat. Then go to work.

Can I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

Where did I kiss you?

It's not the first time

I sleepwalked in front of him.

Given the previous experience,

he should have pushed me away.

[Teenage passer-by saves the day]
This is our cutting room.

In the future,

if you want to use the equipment in the cutting room,

you need to report in advance.

Of course,

it's okay to sneak in

if no one's around.

Okay.

This is Wen Yifan from team C.

What's up, Madam?

There are two new interns.

Senior, how are you?

I'm Mu Chengyun,

the new intern.

Why do you call her Senior?

Just call her Yifan.

If you call her senior, who knows who you're calling?

Mu Chengyun.

Give me a hug.

Long time no see.

He's my schoolmate, you know?

And he was a child star when he was young.

Have you watched his movies?

No, I haven't.

What movie?

Let me see if I've watched it.

It was like...

Waking up blah blah blah.

Waking up to Ghosts.

Yeah, that's it.

I didn't realize Yifan was a fan of me.

I just know that.

Well, I'll have to check it out.

By the way.

My name is Fang Li.

Senior, I'll call you Yifan from now on.

Let me have your WeChat, Chengyun.

- Okay. - Right. Bring them into the work group.

- Right. - Work group. Come on.

Bring them into the work group.

Let me tell you about the do's

and don'ts of the work group.

Let's go eat after work.

Okay.

Let me show you that place.

[Landlord: Time to pay this month's rent]
Get familiar with the work environment.

Okay.

Come on.

This way.

[Sorry. It won't take long]

This room is for small conferences.

And up ahead

is our call center.

The call center

[It's time to pay the rent]
has to be staffed 24 hours a day

[Just transfer it to me]
because we have to take calls at any time.

Everyone, take a look.

These are the two new interns.

[Teenage passer-by saves the day]

Yifan.

Am I interrupting?

That's...

[￥40,000.00. Please take it]

Isn't that four zeros?

Why so much?

[Did you transfer too much money to me?]

[What? Oh. I put in an extra zero]

[I'll transfer it back for you]

[No need. I'll just pay the rent in advance]

In advance?

Are you staying long?

How many months are you staying?

Thank you.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I just wanted to make sure.

So I know when I can start

looking for a new roommate.

I'll stay until you

pay off your debt to me.

What debt?

What?

Do I have to remind you?

Your sanity

was overpowered

by desire late at night

and attempted to possess me.

What?

Yifan.

I just saw that you've been replying to messages,

so I was wondering if you're in some kind of trouble.

Tell me.

I can help you.

I'm not. Thanks.

I have a lot of questions

and want to ask you later.

I'll teach you later.

Anyway, from today onwards,

I'm going to haunt you.

Why?

They asked me to learn

from you

during my internship.

Now we're down.

to “New house near cemetery”

and “Pathetic mother

searches for daughter

who disappeared”

Wang Jing.

Yifan.

You two can choose one each.

I'm fine with both,

but Yifan,

you're afraid of ghosts,

so I'll take the cemetery one.

I can do both.

Okay. Then it's settled.

Obviously, she wanted to pick a topic

that would attract attention,

but why did she use your fear

of ghosts as the reason?

Yifan.

Why don't you fight for that news

about the cemetery?

It seemed more topical.

Or do you have no desire

at all to choose a topic?

It's all the same to me.

A mother looking for her daughter.

Looks like we'll have to make it a touching story.

Let's try to figure out

where her daughter might have gone.

It's a needle in a haystack.

Arduous but fruitless.

You're new here.

Don't be so calculating.

Or,

if I find her,

Yifan, can you reward me?

A reward for passing the art exam.

for passing the art exam.

Will you give me a reward if I

overachieve in the college entrance exam?

Let's

talk about it after that.

We can't exchange like that.

Maybe we can.

Do you want it?

I've had it.

Good. That's enough for today.

Get to work.

Remember.

Yifan.

I'll get the equipment.

Anyway, I'll follow you

all day today.

Come on, Mu Chengyun.

I'll take you to get the equipment

and show you how to organize it.

Okay.

Cute, right?

Who?

That guy.

Yifan.

[Are you okay?]

[How do you want this resolved?]

[Sang Yan]

Hello?

How do you

want this resolved?

Huh?

Huh what?

Forget it. Talk about it later.

You seem to have been thinking for a long time.

Yes.

Then keep thinking.

Are you in a hurry?

Why should I be?

I'm afraid

you won't be able to control your desire.

When did you

lose contact with her?

Last Chinese New Year's Eve.

[Manhunt]
At first, she transferred money

[Nanwu TV Station]

to me every month,

but from the end of the year, she stopped.

I'm anxious every day.

Look at my leg.

It's hurt like this.

Sweetheart.

If you can see it,

contact me

and give me a message, okay?

For those of you in front of the screen...

That's it.

Thank you.

Did you find her?

Neighbors say

they haven't seen her for a week.

This kind of topic is the most dreadful.

It's time-consuming and hard to get results.

Yifan.

I found her.

The mother is not in Nanwu.

She went to Yihe to look for her daughter.

How do you know?

The mother

went from Nanwu to the place

where her daughter used to live

in Yihe and held a sign.

Then it happened

to be reported in Yihe Daily.

It seems

we have to go to Yihe.

Yihe?

Yifan.

I've prepared everything

for the trip.

See if there's anything I'm missing.

Let me know.

Thank you.

Yifan, Chengyun.

I have to go now. Bye.

- Okay. - Bye.

Be safe.

Okay.

And

I just ordered some pizza.

Do you want to eat it while it's hot?

No. Thank you.

You don't like it?

Just enjoy it.

You can leave now.

It's okay.

I'll stay with you.

We can leave together.

You don't have to.

I'm meeting a friend for dinner.

Dian.

Let's go.

Here you go.

Hello.

I'm Yifan's exclusive intern,

Mu Chengyun.

Want to get in, handsome?

Stop it.

I'm just kidding.

Let's have dinner sometime.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, Yifan.

Bye.

I think

that guy is interested in you.

Stop kidding.

He's just more active at work.

A man and a woman

working overtime in the same room.

With a little catalyst,

he'd be instantly enamored with you.

You seem to know well.

Why don't you drink?

Me?

I don't drink alcohol.

Actually, I want

to ask you a favor today.

What?

Do you want me to help you

get rid of that cute handsome guy?

I can do that.

I was wondering

if you had time to come over

and stay with me tonight.

What's wrong with you?

Did Sang Yan bully you?

Did he hit you or abuse you?

Did he do anything else?

No.

Then what's wrong with you?

I seemed to be sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking?

You haven't mentioned it before.

Actually,

I used to

and haven't for a long time,

but lately, it seems to have started again.

Just maybe.

So

how do you know?

Sang Yan told me.

Did he see it?

Probably.

So you don't remember

what you did when you were sleepwalking?

Since it was sleepwalking,

I surely don't remember.

Did Sang Yan say what you did?

Your sanity

was overpowered

by desire late at night

and attempted to possess me.

Anyway, tonight,

sleep with me

and check for me

if I'm sleepwalking again,

okay?

Okay.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely take care of you.

So,

to sleep better,

let's get a little drunk.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's take a cab home.

Peeled.

I guess I'm the only one

who still keeps the promise to be home by ten.

Is he afraid to come back

because you're sleepwalking?

It's enough that you're not afraid.

Why would I be?

If I suddenly open my eyes

and sit up at night,

just punch me.

How can I do that do you?

Don't worry.

I'm a light sleeper.

When I'm at home,

even my dad's snoring and my brother's teeth grinding

can wake me up.

Then I'm counting on you.

Sit here.

Are you sleepy?

I'm not.

He's not back yet.

You're back.

Why you?

I'm sorry.

Are you

still up?

I sent you a message.

Didn't you get it?

We've both been together,

so I didn't notice that.

So

go ahead.

I'll stop interrupting.

So

it's her who took liberties with you, right?

Cut the crap.

Watch yourself.

I have a feeling it's her.

Right?

No wonder you agreed to let me live in your house.

You want me to protect you.

[Wen Yifan: Qiao will stay here tonight]

So why didn't you tell me in advance

that he was coming last night?

I had nowhere else to go yesterday,

so I could only ask him for help.

I had to find a way

to protect myself.

Protect yourself?

What does that mean?

Are you overthinking this?

Are you overthinking it too?

I'm not.

So did you guys sleep well last night?

How could I sleep well

with this guy around?

You didn't sleep well last night?

Of course not.

Never mind.

As long as you guys have fun.

What about you? Did you sleep well?

I'm sure we did.

I hope I didn't disturb you.

It was

an interesting meal.

How interesting can a meal be?

You are interesting, too.

So are you.

So are you.

Are you done?

By the way,

I'm not coming back tonight,

so you can be

more comfortable.

Where are you going?

Yihe.

To do what?

On a business trip.

The willows here look like snowflakes.

Yifan.

You're so predictable.

I wouldn't even be able to breathe

if you hadn't given me that mask.

I lived here for a while.

Hello. How many of you are there?

We're here to see someone. Thank you.

This way.

How are you?

We're reporters from First News.

I'm Wen Yifan.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you for helping me.

My daughter is at your age.

You're welcome.

Have a seat.

We can start.

My daughter graduated from college

and then went to work in Yihe.

For five years she worked,

she gave me some money every month,

but just before New Year's,

we suddenly cut off contact.

Neither during the New Year nor during the holidays,

she didn't send me a single message

or give me the money she was supposed to give.

What is the money

she is supposed to give?

It's only natural for a daughter to take care of her mother.

I'm worried something

might have happened to her.

Sweetheart.

If you see me on TV,

call me back

and tell me you're okay, okay?

How are you getting along with your daughter?

Have you had any conflicts or anything like that?

What mother in this world

would treat her daughter badly?

I lost my husband

and my job

to raise her.

How can she treat me like this?

Hello?

Can we talk, Jiang?

Go ahead.

Is it cold in Yihe?

Remember to eat well

and put on some clothes.

You haven't called me for a while.

I've been too busy lately.

I know you're busy,

so I didn't dare to call and bother you.

How will you

settle Yifan down?

Can you let her

stay at your place?

Or let her go to her grandma's.

After all, that's her grandmother, don't you think?

Think about it.

Am I right?

Jiang.

I know you blame me.

After your dad died,

I didn't fulfill my duty as a mother.

You can say whatever you want,

but can you not mention my dad?

These days, I've been dreaming about your dad.

He still blames me.

It's okay. Don't cry.

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

I'll come to you when I have time.

See you.

Don't worry.

We'll do our best to find your daughter.

Please keep your word.

It's too suffocating.

Yihe's spring is just like that.

I'm talking about the mother.

That kind of motherhood is suffocating.

Why didn't you ask further just now?

I think there's a reason

her daughter doesn't want to see her.

She doesn't think she has any problems.

Right.

She's just pushing her daughter with affection.

Maybe that's why

her daughter disappeared.

How do you know?

The flight is tomorrow.

We're free for the rest of the day.

Aren't you coming with me?

No.

Haven't you lived here before?

Show me around.

Hey, Tian.

We found her.

Her daughter is in Hong Kong, China.

She's currently working as an admin at a dance studio.

Okay. I got it.

What's going on?

Did you bring your EEP?

And the endorsement?

Yes.

We have to bring all the documents when we travel.

They taught me all that in training.

Where are we going?

Hong Kong, China.

So

I'll be a day late.

Okay.

- Then. - Yifan, your card.

Okay. Thank you.

Who's that?

A coworker I came with.

Sounds like a kid.

That's the guy you saw in front

of the supermarket last time.

He's now doing an internship in our group.

Don't you have an umbrella?

Do you want me to take you home?

We have umbrellas.

You can leave now.

Are you jealous of me?

Jealous of you?

I don't need to be.

Take it.

No.

[Hong Kong, China]

[MSL Mall]

Let's go.

I'm starving.

- Maybe here. - Let's go buy something to eat.

I'm not hungry.

OK. I'll order takeout.

Hello.

Are you here to enroll?

Please fill out the form for the adult class.

Couples

can get 20% off.

Hello, sir.

We are reporters from First News

of Nanwu TV Station.

I'm Wen Yifan.

Mu Chengyun.

I'd like to ask.

Is there

a Ms. Lin Yuqing here?

I'm sorry.

We don't have anyone named Lin here.

Then I'd like to ask

if there are any other dance studios in this building.

I'm not sure.

You can ask somewhere else.

Is there anything else?

If not, I'll get back to work.

Thank you.

What now?

Find another way

or

see if there's anyone who knows her?

Wait a little longer.

I've got an idea.

I want to see Ms. Lin Yuqing.

I am.

Here's your takeout.

Who ordered it?

I don't know.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I just heard you hadn't had lunch yet,

so I took the liberty of ordering one for you.

I'm sorry.

I don't do interviews.

We just want to talk to you.

Don't worry.

Your mother doesn't know we're coming.

You can turn on your cell phone's camera.

I'm happy now

and have a family of my own.

I'm asking you

to stop trying to find me, okay?

Okay.

Show her this video.

Is there anything else

you want to say?

What should I say?

Should I tell onlookers

that she married a man

and had a child

or that she realized

she had a daughter

after he disappeared with her son

and abandoned her

or should I tearfully

accuse her of using her affection to blackmail me

and treating me as her property

in order to receive monthly maintenance from me?

I can understand you.

How can you understand me?

You're not me.

My mother was a lot like her,

but she didn't look for me

or care for me

when I left Nanwu.

So if it were you,

would you forgive her?

No,

at least not now.

I don't want you to go back with nothing,

so

show her that video.

Go back.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

I just can't handle them.

How can't you? They're cute.

I'll go see them.

Come on.

The kids.

He says he can't handle you.

What's going on?

Sit down.

Sit down.

What's going on?

Isabella.

What's wrong with you?

I'm so stupid.

I can't even do it.

I was spinning until I was dizzy.

What's going on?

It's just

hard.

Listen.

Stand up and show me

which move that was.

Are you tired?

Then let's take a break.

You'll be fine with more practice later.

Your name is Isabella, right?

You just did a great job,

but there's a little problem

you should pay attention to.

When you do the movements...

Come on. Stand up.

When you do the movement,

center your weight in this area.

We must not look at the ground

but ahead.

Forward.

OK?

I'll show you how it's done.

You don't seem so happy

for a long time.

Come on.

Try it.

Sir, can you do me a favor?

Let's just stare

at this teacher.

Look straight at him.

Keep looking at him, okay?

Straighten up.

Come on, try it.

That's good.

Did you get it?

Miss, you're great.

So are you.

When you dance,

you have to relax. Having fun is the most important thing,

right?

You're not dizzy anymore, right?

Excuse me.

Are you a dance teacher?

No, I'm not.

We should probably get going.

Thank you very much.

Come on.

Say goodbye to them.

Bye.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Thanks.

Come on, let's go.

Let's get on with the lesson.

Go on.

Chengyun, I'm here.

Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?

I'm not a kid.

Brat.

Grandpa's birthday is today,

so how could I not pick you up myself?

Oh...

Yifan.

Let me introduce you.

This is my sister.

How are you?

Hi.

I've heard a lot about you from my brother.

He's always giving you trouble, isn't he?

By the way,

is someone coming to pick you up?

I don't usually have that.

Come on, then.

We'll take you home.

Yes. Come with us.

I can take a cab alone.

Wen Yifan.

Why are you here?

I'm seeing a friend off,

so I thought I'd pick you up on the way.

Such a coincidence.

Consider it a basic courtesy

from me as a roommate.

Yifan.

Is this your roommate you mentioned?

Yes.

Are you leaving now?

I'm leaving.

- Bye, Yifan. - OK.

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go.

She's gone. Don't look at her.

This guy looks familiar to me.

I think I've seen him somewhere.

Were you sleepwalking

in Hong Kong, China?

No.

How's work going?

I think you may be happy.

You went to Yihe and then to Hong Kong, China.

Not bad.

What?

You don't look happy.

I wonder if,

as a journalist,

I should be more calm

and objective when it comes

to my work.

You're a human being,

not an interviewing machine.

However, I'm easily affected

by the interviewee's mood

when working.

Just be yourself.

Didn't you catch up

with your college friends

or hang out in Yihe?

I thought hard about it.

In my four years of college

and two years of internships,

there really wasn't anything in Yihe that I missed.

It was a place

with no memories for me.

Even on many occasions,

I wished I had never been there.

Because of the rumors about you and the director,

his wife came to cause trouble,

but you never did that,

so why do you care about her?

Are you really afraid of those people

talking about you behind your back?

I didn't do that,

so I'm not afraid of misunderstanding.

Then why do you leave your job?

Because there's nothing

left for me here.

Then will you take a break

or go to another vocation?

By then, you'll meet other male coworkers.

Nanwu.

I suddenly want to go back to Nanwu.

[Take care of yourself. I'm always here.]

[The story is not over yet...]

Who's that?

Sounds like a kid.

That's the guy you saw in front

of the supermarket last time.

He's now doing an internship in our group.

OK.

Duan Jiaxu.

What's going on?

Have you

booked your flight back?

Not yet.

What?

So how many days

are you going to stay here?

Maybe...

Tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, okay?

I'll book a flight for you.

What's wrong with me staying with you for a few days?

Don't you think the whole house lights up

when you come to my place?

I'm glowing.

You're like a huge light bulb.

Just leave.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon.

I...

What's wrong with me staying here for a few days?

By the way,

is someone coming to pick you up?

I don't usually have that.

Wen Yifan.

Why are you here?

I'm seeing a friend off,

so I thought I'd pick you up on the way.
