Episode 22

Slow down.

You’d have indigestion tonight.

I’m sweaty.

I wanna eat up and go back for a shower.

Delicious!

See you at home.

Hurry.

I have the flight chess with me.

Take another rib.

You’re slim. Eat it.

Hurry.

Ziqiu is so good

to Jianjian.

He’s always been good to her.

In my opinion,

just let him be your son-in-law.

It’s possible.

Otherwise, when Ziqiu gets married

with someone else,

you won’t be so close anymore.

Maybe his wife will

attend to his real father.

Do you agree?

Jianjian has a boyfriend.

They’re peers.

He’s also making sculptures.

An artist?

He must make a lot of money.

I don’t know about that.

As far as I can see,

it’s better

to get married with someone we know well.

Enjoy the noodles.

Go back to work.

Go. Go.

Dad.

Take your time.

Got something good for you.

Ziqiu.

Grandma Qian.

Have you heard

anything from your mom?

No.

Neither has your dad?

She never

contacted us.

Then you should talk

to your dad.

Tell him to let go.

To forget about being cheated by that woman.

In this world,

plenty of women are willing

to live a peaceful life.

Right?

Hmm.

Your dad isn’t old.

He still has chance.

In a few years,

it’ll be hard to find a wife.

OK.

OK.

Don’t just say it.

Put it in your mind.

When you all get married

and fly away from the nest

like birds,

what about your dad?

He’s not like me.

If I have a sudden disease

like a stroke or a cerebral palsy,

I’ve got a husband

to call 120

for an ambulance.

What about your dad?

Waiting at home to die?

Don’t jinx it.

You’re scaring the kid.

I’m not scaring him.

It’s the truth.

That’s what senior people

should consider.

You don’t know because you’re young.

Yeah, I’m young.

The ribs look great!

Mrs. Qian, um...

It’s sweet and sour rib

I made for the kids.

You have diabetes. You can’t eat this.

Just a bite.

Delicious!

No more.

Just this one.

Ziqiu!

You’d better take a shower first.

The breeze up here is so cool.

You...

You’re back?

I come back to see Dad.

Ziqiu is also back?

Are you avoiding me?

No, no, no.

No.

What are you doing here?

I come back to get something.

What’s on your mind?

It’s always Ziqiu

that you like more, right?

What’s wrong with you now?

Since Ziqiu came to the family,

whenever you were bullied,

you would want

Ziqiu to take it out for you.

You went to play games, to cyber café,

to make trouble

behind my back.

You never brought me along.

You forbade me to fight

or to play games.

And you pointed fingers in my things.

You ate spicy strips

on your bed at night

behind my back.

That’s because you lived upstairs.

How could we bring you along?

And you

don’t eat anything

after you brush your teeth.

In the name of the universe,

you’re like two sides of my hand,

bro.

It’s different.

Though you said that,

when one is under threat,

she’ll clench her fist

and hide her palm.

Am I the inner or the outer side?

Haichao Noodles

I like their noodles so much.

Delicious!

Of course.

Let’s come again someday.

Hey,

time to lose weight.

Maybe tomorrow.

Jeez!

Why do you come back?

Good.

The braised ducks are done.

Take some home and share with Jianjian.

Dad.

I want to tell you something.

Well...

She... She just broke up with

Zheng?

They were friends.

Now

they’re back to friends again.

Well, what

will Jianjian say

if you said that you like her?

I haven’t told her yet.

I think

I should get your permission first.

What if I don’t permit it?

Well...

I won’t tell her

until you do.

What if Jianjian doesn’t love you back?

I’ll keep pursuing.

I’ll be

better than ever to her.

And try my best.

Dad.

Dad,

are you mad at me?

In the past, all the relatives said

you were like

a mute each day.

You’re like your mom,

you could never grow intimate with anyone.

You took Jianjian to

make troubles

and led her astray.

I know.

The aunts

often scoff us

at these things.

But they have no idea

that among the three,

you’re the most honest.

Whenever

Jianjian went out and made troubles,

you followed her

and kept her out of danger.

And she

often made you the scapegoat.

And you were willing

to take the blame for her.

When Ling Xiao couldn’t hold her in control,

he took it out on you.

She didn’t intend to plant it on me.

She was just afraid to be scolded.

You all grow up

and have your own ideas.

I can’t hold you back anymore.

Dad,

I think you...

You are mad at me.

No, really, I’m not.

But it’s so unexpected that you...

Look,

give me some time

to digest it.

You’d better reconsider it, too.

Dad,

I’m sure about it.

I’m truly...

I don’t doubt about that.

I mean love

is volatile.

Look at Jianjian and Zheng.

They weren’t together for long.

Now they broke up.

I don’t want you

to lose the love

for each other

built in these years

for a stupid, unfruitful

romance.

Ziqiu,

promise me.

Even if you two

can’t move up in that direction,

you can always step back

and continue to be her brother.

OK?

OK.

Dad,

I promise you.

Unbelievable!

Why did the mosquitoes sting me only

not you?

They also bully the weak.

High body temperature.

That’s why they like you.

I can do it myself.

You... You can go to your room.

Didn’t you

only know to pinch a cross

with your nails

on the bulge?

Think about

the thing I told you.

You could try with Zheng Shuran.

Why can’t you try with me?

We don’t try this.

Zheng Shuran and I is a

failed case.

I don’t care.

From now on,

you need to change the way you see me.

Take me as a man.

You can’t force a cow to drink

if it doesn’t want to.

I won’t force it.

But when you want to drink,

I’m the only bowl of water you have.

You can never hide.

And I think it necessary to tell

people around us

to stop their secret love

for me.

You didn’t tell Qi Mingyue, did you?

No.

Feng Xixi is the only person I told.

I wasn’t going

to tell others.

But they regard me

as your brother.

It’s an obstacle to us

being together.

No, no, no. There’s no obstacles.

Calm down.

I think this is

not a big problem.

We can

deal with it between us.

How?

I’ll consider it.

I will.

I put the bowl of water

in front of me.

Happy?

OK.

Well...

Ziqiu...

No, no, no.

We can’t tell Ziqiu.

He’d explode if he knows.

He would believe that we

isolate him.

He’d make a scene.

OK.

He’s headstrong.

Better keep him in dark.

OK.

That’s our deal then.

OK.

You apply it to your legs.

I’ll go take a shower.

Have a good night.

You sleep well.

Sleep well.

You know

I have trouble sleeping.

It’s hard to sleep well.

If you aren’t serious

with your promise

and continue to avoid me

like the past two days,

I won’t sleep well.

Really, Ling Xiao?

You threaten me

with your health?

I’m just telling the truth.

Good night.

You must have damaged your brain

while you were in Singapore.

Nuts!

Who do you think you’re threatening?

Would I yield

to threat?

I must owe you in the previous life.

Ziqiu.

You scared me.

You scared me.

Oh, right.

I saw Ling Xiao go upstairs.

Leave him alone.

Come over here.

Apply the medicinal essence for me.

- OK. - I was stung by the mosquitoes.

Why did they just sting you?

Ling Xiao said my body temperature was high.

What’s up?

You’re still mad at Ling Xiao?

I heard it from Dad.

Ling Xiao burned incense

for your mother the minute

he came back.

No, no.

I’m not mad at him.

It’s comfortable

to be with you.

Really?

Hmm.

Here. It’s itchy.

Don’t scratch.

Let me rub it

for you with the essence.

Here.

I see. I see.

Don’t scratch.

Li Jianjian.

Can I talk to you about something?

I want your answer.

OK.

You said

it was comfortable

to be with me, right?

Why

don’t we try to be together?

What do you mean “be together”?

I don’t want to be your brother.

I want to be your boyfriend.

Let me finish.

I had quite a thought.

I can’t trust you

to any man

in the world.

And there’s not another man

who treats you better than I do.

I only trust myself

to look after you.

Let me go!

When we get married,

we’ll be just like the past.

I’ll marry in your family.

It leads

to no change to the family structure.

When we have a kid in the future,

I can take care of him or her.

Are you nuts?

- He Ziqiu, you nuts? - Calm down.

I can’t.

I can’t.

I take you as my brother.

You want to have baby with me?

Listen,

what would my dad think about us

if he found out about this?

I’ve confessed to Dad.

He asked me to reconsider.

And I have considered.

Li Jianjian! Li Jianjian.

Sit down.

Sit down.

I told Dad because

we couldn’t date

like thieves.

Who else did you tell?

Just Zhuang Bei.

He figured it out himself.

Don’t worry.

I won’t make it a headline

and put you in an awkward position.

You just

take some time

when you’re at leisure

to consider it.

Do you want to

warm my bed?

No, thanks.

You’re welcome.

Don’t say a word to Ling Xiao.

He’s

not right in the head.

Don’t give him

more trouble.

I know he’s never right

in the head.

When we get together...

We’re not possible.

I’ll try harder to love you.

Clouds high above

the seething ocean

and the flaming darts

are captured

and extinguished

by the waters.

Hey,

I’m serious about this.

Why are you reciting

Song of the Stormy Petrel?

While the serpentine

reflections

writhe, swirling...

Expiring.

Expiring

in the deep.

It’s the storm.

The storm is breaking.

Still, the valiant stormy petrel

proudly wheels around the lightning,

over the roaring

raging ocean,

and his cry resounds exultant

like a prophecy of triumph,

let it break

in all its fury!

Stormy Petrel,

your slippers.

I’ll try harder

to love you.

I’m going back to my room now.

Jianjian isn’t up yet?

She left early.

At half past six.

She’s busy with the studio.

I slipped breakfast in her bag.

Ziqiu.

Yeah.

I’ve talked to Dad Ling.

I should have

told you this.

Should have? What is it?

Um, in the summer vacation

of Grade 12,

your mom came over.

She... She came to pay the money back.

She paid back the money

she borrowed.

But she asked me...

Asked me

not to tell you.

So I didn’t.

Your mom isn’t

a good person.

But she’s not bad.

So, I mean,

don’t...um...

put it on your mind.

Let it go.

I don’t feel sad anymore.

I forgot.

That’s good.

I was worrying for nothing.

I saw you often fiddle with

the make-up mirror.

So...

So I told Dad Ling

to ask around and find out

where she is.

Who knows

he found out

that she is in the city.

So I went

to see her.

Here is her situation now.

She runs a beauty salon

for a few years.

The business is good.

But she’s

married now.

And she has a kid,

four years old.

A boy.

And I figured from what she said

that she never mentioned you

to her husband.

A new home

with a new kid.

Good.

I... I...

I think

she doesn’t contact you

for the sake of both of you.

After all, the grudge between you

is too deep.

So look,

it’s up to you.

It’s your call

if you want to see her or not.

Does...

Does she know I’m back?

Yes.

Does she want to meet me?

Then why should I go to her?

I won’t.

Of course you will.

Make it clear with her.

Since she never carried out

her responsibility as a parent,

she shouldn’t come over

and ask you to carry out

your duty as a son

if anything happens to her.

Don’t be sad about it.

We survived without moms.

Whatever we want in the future,

we fight for it.

We’ll be better and better.

Dad,

Dad Li,

excuse me.

I gotta go to work.

You eat so little.

Be careful on the way.

Hamburger!

Eat it.

There’s more.

Eat yours.

Mom,

have a hamburger.

Let’s take a seat.

Mom,

you really won’t marry

Mr. Li?

Hmm.

Why?

Because there’s no love between us.

What is love?

You can’t get married without it?

We can get married without love,

but

we won’t be happy.

Why not?

How could you not feel happy

living with

Mr. Li and Li Jianjian?

I’m happy.

You do like Li Haichao and his daughter,

right?

Hmm.

Mr. Li is good to me.

How good?

He made goodies for me.

He smiled at me and washed my clothes.

Hmm.

He’s better to you than me.

I like you the most.

Remember.

Listen

to your grandma while you’re here.

When I find a job

in Shenzhen,

I’ll come and get you.

Even if Shenzhen is a gold mine,

you might not find any.

I thought you would be smart

after what you suffered.

A divorced woman

with a kid.

Why can’t you just marry

an honest man?

You wanna find yourself a sugar daddy?

Talking about love

in front of the kid?

How cheeky!

Mom,

I’ll wire money.

Make a living for yourself

first.

Don’t make empty promise.

Daughters are useless.

You’re

no help to the family in these years.

It’s OK.

And now you need me to raise your kid.

What a money-losing deal!

Mom,

I’ll take good care of you.

Leave.

I’m sick of

your face.

Get out of my sight.

Go.

Ziqiu,

be a good boy.

Listen to your grandma and your aunt.

I will come back

to get you in a while.

Mom,

you have health issues.

Take care of yourself.

Try not to get angry.

Your blood pressure is high.

Remember to take hypotensor.

Please take care of Ziqiu.

I’ll wire money.

Mom,

come and get me as soon as you can.

Mom,

come and get me as soon as you can.

Mom,

come back as soon as you can.

Mom,

come and get me as soon as you can.

Yisi Road Beauty Salon

Sir,

are you looking for someone?

I...

I want to see your boss,

He Mei.

My boss?

Who are you?

I...

I’m her friend’s son.

Well...

Come and wait inside.

My boss goes to send her son

to kindergarten.

She’ll

come back in about half an hour.

Never mind.

I have work to do.

Look,

I...

I’ll leave my address.

When she comes back,

remember to tell her

that she can come to see me

if she’s available.

If she’s not,

I can come over tomorrow.

OK.

Oh, yes.

My name is

Ziqiu.

OK. No problem.

Thanks then.

You’re welcome.

Troubled by My Brother’s Love

Li Jianjian!

Yeah.

Li Jianjian!

Dear Jianjian.

What’s up?

Listen.

We’ll have our first order from abroad soon.

An international

arts and crafts company

e-mailed me

that they wanted to buy from us

the copyright of your Trinity

sculptures.

Really?

Yes.

They have a production line

for handicrafts in China.

So when you go abroad

and buy a sculpture,

you may find

it’s made in China.

I’ve looked into it.

They’ve made many crafts

from many Chinese and foreign artists’ works.

Astonished?

And you know what?

We get a share

from each piece they sell.

We’re going to be rich!

I invited their managers

to come to our studio in a few days

and talk about the cooperation.

OK.

Congratulations to you

for the profitable deal.

Juan,

will you dump me

for a younger man

after you become rich?

That’s so...

It depends on you.

What’s on her chair?

Troubled by My Brother’s Love.

I’m just curious.

Li Jianjian,

though I brought up

the Zeus-Hera love,

I advise you

not to read it

in your situation.

Why?

It’s like

once you turn on the switch,

you can never turn it off.

You’ll find

this kind of love is somehow

thrilling.

That makes sense.

You may disagree on some things at first,

but with more positive hints,

you may change your mind.

You can’t read it.

Better focus yourself

on the sculpture for the competition.

You accepted the invitation

for the live competition, didn’t you?

Work out a theme.

No inspiration.

Juan,

if Miss Li’s works

sell better later,

will she kick you out?

What are you saying?

I manage the business

of the studio.

I’m taking care

of the Taobao store,

sales and negotiation, aren’t I?

Jianjian’s full attention

is on the works.

We have our different positions.

We need each other.

That’s right.

It’s no problem when the revenue is little.

It’ll be different when the revenue spikes.

The core competitiveness includes the products

and the person with creative ideas.

You’d better

sign a contract with her.

I warn you.

Don’t say that again.

Jianjian isn’t that kind of person.

Don’t be mad.

I just don’t want a benevolent girl

to suffer losses.

All right.

Go back to work.

OK.

Any recommendations on the desserts?

Cream cubes and tiramisu.

I want a tiramisu

and a plateful of cream cubes.

OK, is there

anything else or drinks

you want?

That’s it.

OK.

Thanks.

One moment.

Boss, the customer orders cake.

Boss.

The customer orders cake.

What?

Cream cubes

and a tiramisu.

OK, right away.

Here.

Boss.

The customer said the cream cube

isn’t sweet at all.

I forgot to put sugar in the cream.

It’s OK. Go

remove all the cream cubes

and offer something else in replace.

Hmm.

Do you feel well?

Yeah.

I’m fine. Go.

Who is it?

Hi, I’m here to see Li Jianjian.

Jianjian.

Ling Xiao.

What are you doing here?

You don’t work today?

It’s the lunch break.

I want to take you out for lunch.

Why didn’t you call me?

My phone is dead.

Let’s buy a new one.

Are you going to introduce us?

This is Du Juan, a senior to me.

This is my brother, Ling Xiao.

Hello, Ling Xiao.

I’ve heard so much about you.

Thank you for taking care of

Jianjian for me.

You’re welcome.

I’m delighted to.

You’re wrong.

She is a senior to me.

But I take care of her.

Say something nice in front of the cool guy.

I’ll invite you out for dinner.

I don’t have much time today.

I’ll be waiting. Keep your promise.

Let’s ask the other brother

of Jianjian to join us.

All right.

Let’s go. Let’s go.

Ling Xiao, I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.

Let’s go.

Bye. Bye.

The construction of this mall

started when you left for college.

Do you remember it?

It opens for years.

There’s a phone store up ahead.

Restaurants are on the fourth floor.

It’s convenient.

You left early this morning.

Were you avoiding me?

You broke your promise.

No.

I just feel

uneasy in front of the dads

with our current

relationship.

Just behave like you used to.

I want to behave like that, too.

But you two have to

abandon the peaceful life.

Two?

Ignore the diction.

It’s you.

You have to separate me and Ziqiu

from now on.

He’s your brother

who will marry you to me.

There you go again.

Give me your hand.

I...

I’ll lose one if I give you mine.

I’ll give one of my hands to you.

You wanna hold hands?

You always hold my hand

like I’m your dog.

Come. Let’s buy you a phone.

All right. That’s it.

OK, one moment.

The last time when my phone went wrong,

I sent it to repair first thing

the next morning.

I’m astonished that you survived a few days

without checking your phone.

Life is quieter without it.

The person

I need to maintain close contact with

is by my side anyway.

Don’t you read

Weibo or WeChat Subscriptions?

No.

Wow!

You really followed no subscriptions.

And so many new messages.

Check them out.

What is it?

Mingyue texted a message.

Take a look at what she texted.

You read it.

It’s not proper.

I’d tell you anyway.

What’s the difference?

I don’t need your answer anymore.

I saw you kissing Li Jianjian.

I misunderstood.

Sorry.

I’ll find a new flat

and move out soon.

Please don’t make it public

until I move out.

Thanks.

What did she say about me?

You made me a huge trouble.
