[Yihe University]

Mom.

[Nanwu University]
Where are you?

Three of us, six eyes,

but we still can't find you!

The graduation ceremony is over.

Our family should have a meal together.

I'm meeting friends.

I'm having dinner with Qian Fei and the others tonight.

That's it. I'll hang up.

What did he say?

He's not eating with us.

We've been waiting him for so long.

So annoying!

Don't say that.

- Let's check over there. - This kid.

He's always annoying.

Let's keep looking.

- Time for the graduation photo! - Hurry up!

Gather up!

Everyone gather up!

Come on, gather up!

Wen Yifan.

- Come on! - Wen Yifan!

Wen Yifan!

You guys go ahead.

Yifan!

Yifan!

Yifan!

Guys at the back, fold your umbrellas.

Yifan, come quickly.

Okay, everyone find a spot.

Everyone, smile.

Three, two, one.

Cheese!

Come on, one more picture.

Everyone, jump up

and shout "Happy Graduation!"

Okay.

Happy Graduation!

One more picture.

Alright, check it out.

You know what?

Just now,

I saw a super handsome guy!

- Really? - For real?

I don't know which department he's from.

Yifan,

when Xin just called you, why didn't you react?

Were you looking at that handsome guy, too?

I just heard someone calling my name.

That was me calling you!

The picture didn't turn out well. Let's take another one.

One more.

Take a look.

You guys go ahead.

Okay.

How could it be him?

[Episode 23]
[Hide]

[3446 days]

Alright, this is for you.

It's time to eat.

You can only have one of these.

Haoan,

this is a home-cooked dish I made.

This dish

is my favorite.

Here.

Su, taste it.

It's dirty.

You should use the serving chopsticks!

I'm just being kind.

Grandpa, he's a guest.

Exactly.

Isn't he

Qiao's boyfriend?

What boyfriend?

If not married, he's still a guest,

Grandpa.

- Let's eat up. - Okay.

If we keep talking,

Su will feel embarrassed.

Come on.

How about

having a drink?

Sure.

I'll drink with you.

Great.

Make yourself at home.

When I visit my grandparents, it's always like this.

Just imagine

how comfortable you feel when you eat alone.

Like the last time I was at your place,

the carefree way of you eating breakfast.

Mr. Su,

what are you laughing at?

Nothing.

I just

had a beautiful dream.

Tell me about it!

I'm not telling you.

Don't fantasize about that.

Have one.

I didn't.

Here.

I toast to you.

Drink less.

We were supposed to take you to a nice restaurant today.

No need.

Dad, you don't have to be so nice to him.

She said that.

I can only listen to her.

Actually, I really like eating here.

- Really? - I just love

having the family eat together.

When you all greeted me

from the window

last time,

I thought to myself,

if I could have a meal with you,

that would be wonderful.

Our big family is always lively.

Right.

Just treat this place like your home.

Okay.

- Eat more. - Don't be shy.

Then I won't be shy anymore!

- Okay, eat up. - Don't be shy.

Eat up.

Are you full?

Very full.

That's good.

Eating with your family

feels so happy,

and so joyful.

Really?

Thank you.

Okay.

I always

imagine...

if my dad were still alive,

I'd want to live a life like this,

eating full meals together,

and chatting together.

You know what?

Back then,

I stood right here.

I thought about jumping down.

If I had jumped,

all this happiness now

wouldn't exist.

Luckily.

Yeah.

Luckily.

As long as we're alive,

we'll always have hope

and dreams.

So,

I decided to talk to her mom...

What are you guys doing?

The fruit's ready.

Come back and eat!

Come back!

Hurry up!

Okay!

You're here.

You're looking for our boss, right?

He's upstairs.

Okay, then I'll go up directly.

Want to have a drink?

No, thanks.

Shuangjiang, it's really you.

I knew I wasn't wrong.

Is something wrong?

What do you mean?

How can you talk to me this way, kid?

The last time you saw me, you even pretended not to know me.

Yifan,

it's been so long since you've seen your uncle,

and you didn't even say hello?

Shuangjiang.

Are you okay?

Who are you?

Who am I?

I'm her uncle. Who are you?

He's not.

What?

I'm not your uncle?

Shuangjiang, can you really say that?

I've used to support you.

Don't you remember?

Did you forget?

Do you know him?

No.

Move aside!

Shuangjiang, where are you going?

Let go of her!

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

What do you mean?

The boss is bullying me?

What? You want to hit me?

Who hit you?

Oh, here comes another one.

Come on, hit me.

How come I didn't see anyone hit you?

You mean,

you want to fight with someone, huh?

Fine.

I'm outnumbered and you're tough.

Shuangjiang...

see you next time.

Does it hurt?

Who's that?

My aunt's brother.

He doesn't really count as an uncle.

Does he always act like that?

I mean his attitude towards you.

I'm not really close to him.

He's not a good person either.

If he comes again next time,

just treat him like a stranger

and ignore him.

Have a seat.

Wait for me. I'll be right back.

If you face any problem,

you can tell me.

Anything.

Don't worry.

It's nothing serious.

Really.

I can solve it myself.

Go ahead and get busy.

Let go of her!

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Why do you always stare at the clock?

All alone in the living room,

aren't you afraid?

I won't lock the door anymore, okay?

You can come find me directly.

How are you doing?

Why are you always crying?

Then why are you here?

Why am I here?

Who else would be here, if not me?

It really hurts to hear that.

I mean, how come you're here?

How come I'm here?

What do you think? How would I be here?

Think about it yourself.

You're sleepwalking, too?

Sleepwalking can be contagious?

Fine, believe what you want.

Did you have a nightmare?

Or...

did you watch a horror movie last night,

scared yourself, and couldn't sleep?

That's why you came here?

That's not it.

So, you just wanted to sleep with me.

Think about it again.

You sleepwalked last night,

barging into my room,

lifting my blanket,

and carrying me over.

How could I carry you?

So sleepwalking gives you super strength, huh?

I guess I'm pretty tough after all.

What are you laughing at?

I just want to laugh.

Sang Yan.

I'm Wen Yifan.

Only you and Sang Yan haven't shown up on the list.

Sorry.

I thought Sang Yan was a girl's name.

I thought it was you.

Report.

Let's sleep a little longer.

Apart from the name,

my strength is more manly than yours.

Alright, you're right.

Sleep a bit more.

I'll make breakfast for you.

Is it good?

It melts in the mouth.

It's smooth and tasty.

Is "melts in the mouth" a good description

for noodles?

It's just like that.

Do I make any progress?

Of course.

Sang Yan,

if the guy from yesterday

comes to you at Overtime,

no matter what he says

or what he wants,

just ignore him.

What are you thinking?

After being with you,

I've never spoken to strangers,

neither to men nor women.

And,

besides you,

who can casually take something

from me?

Wait a minute!

Elevator, hold on!

Good morning, Yifan.

Mr. Xingde, please put my stuff here for now.

This elevator's too crowded.

- Let's wait for the next one. - Alright.

I'll leave it here.

Remember to take it.

Okay. Thanks, Mr. Xingde.

No problem. Go ahead and get to work.

Mu,

the guy earlier,

that Mr. Xingde,

when did he become a security guard here?

Just recently.

The security near our TV station

isn't very good.

So, he applied for the position.

He's actually quite honest.

And he's very helpful.

He often helps me move equipment.

What's going on?

You've never met him before?

No. It's my first time meeting him.

Yifan,

will you come to my farewell party tonight?

See you tonight.

I'll be a little late.

I still have some drafts to handle.

It's okay.

I'll wait for you.

Toast to you, Chengyun!

Are you toasting to him alone

or to all of us?

Yeah.

We toast to you all.

Come on!

Let's drink together.

Hello?

Hello, Yifan.

Today's my farewell party.

If you don't come,

you might never see me again.

Okay, I'm on my way.

[Sang Yan]
When will you get off work?

[Wen Yifan]
If you finish early, go home.

Don't wait for me.

I'm going out to eat with my colleagues.

Miss Wen, you're off work.

Stay safe.

Shuangjiang.

What's wrong?

Did you see a ghost?

What do you want to do?

If you can return to Nanwu,

why can't I?

No matter what misunderstandings we had before,

I've explained everything to you.

It's just that you didn't listen.

Misunderstanding?

Yes.

A misunderstanding.

Do you know

how tough those days were for me?

I felt like I was dying.

Each day felt like a year.

Don't you think what you're saying is absurd?

Did I

delay your college admission?

Or did I affect your work?

Or did I affect you

dating that rich boyfriend?

I didn't.

But because of you,

my life changed

since then.

It became like this,

worthless.

Who am I supposed to tell my grievances to?

Shuangjiang, right now...

I'm in trouble.

You'll help me, right?

Right?

I'm telling you,

if I can't make it through,

no matter where you are,

I'll find you.

And I'll tell everyone

that you once seduced me.

Right?

You even tried to k*ll me before.

Even if no one believes me,

you can't wash off

this dirt from yourself.

Because the way I am now

is all because of you.

You have to take responsibility for me.

Right?

Yifan.

Mr. Xingde?

What are you doing here?

It's nothing. I...

I just got off work.

I saw her alone here,

so I came over to talk to her.

You're really responsible.

It's okay. I'll head out first.

Alright.

Be careful on your way home.

Are you alright, Yifan?

I'm fine.

Let's go then, Yifan.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Come on!

Come on!

Let's all toast to Mu Chengyun.

How about it?

Let's wish him

great success!

And when he becomes famous, don't forget us!

Okay!

Come on!

Come on!

Once you make it, don't forget us!

Empty it!

Mu Chengyun, no cheating!

Empty it...

How come you're here?

What a coincidence.

No one eats with me.

I'm so hungry, too.

Did you just finish work?

Or did you come from Overtime?

No, I didn't come from Overtime.

I just finished work.

Who's leaving?

Mu Chengyun.

He officially resigned today.

That's a bit of a shame.

He seems pretty happy about it.

He always wants to be an actor.

Now he's doing something he loves.

That's pretty good...

[Zhao Yuandong]

A while ago,

Che Xingde went out with a friend for a drive,

and had a car accident.

That's really bad!

He crashed into someone's shop.

I was going to get them to move out.

He promised me

he would work hard.

I heard

he's found a decent job now.

Don't worry.

What's wrong?

You're not happy?

No.

I just want to go home.

If something's bothering you, just tell me.

Today, I visited kids with rare diseases.

They're so young, yet already face life and death.

And they had no expression on their faces.

It made me feel so sad.

They'll get better.

You're so focused on watching TV.

Haven't you slept yet?

Not yet.

We'll sleep in a bit.

I'm going upstairs first.

Okay.

Wear your clothes properly.

[Overtime]

Here, He.

A new dish?

What's the name of it?

Golden Hand.

- Oh, Golden Hand. - Be careful.

Don't put your fingers in.

Go to hell.

Boss,

a new dish.

Yan!

Yan!

What's wrong?

People from the Market Supervision Bureau are at the door.

There are also reporters from Nanwu TV.

What are they here for?

A customer reported

that the food made by Jun caused food poisoning.

They even called reporters to expose us.

It's the program where Yifan works,

First News.

How is that possible?

I ate so much,

and nothing happened to me.

Don't worry. I'll go check it out.

Hello, we're from the Market Supervision Bureau.

We've received a public complaint.

Apparently, a customer here

consumed unclean ingredients.

We need to take

some food and environmental samples.

I'm the owner of this restaurant.

If you need any cooperation,

feel free to let me know.

It's really you!

We all ate the same dish

you had at noon.

Why are we fine,

but only you guys got food poisoning?

Just because you guys are fine

doesn't mean we are!

Look at what my friend's been through!

I saw you sneaking around at noon.

And now you're framing us!

Sneaking around?

Your food safety is a problem!

Sir,

calm down.

What do you want as compensation?

Money, business closure, and rectification.

I can't let you

heartless businesses

harm more people!

Otherwise, I'll make this bigger,

and take it to the news!

Understood.

Your friend's medical fees,

lost income, and mental compensation

will be fully covered by our restaurant.

But I have one condition.

If it turns out

that the food that caused your friend's food poisoning

wasn't supplied by our restaurant,

I will call the reporters again.

And you

must publicly apologize.

Deal.

Jun,

cooperate with them.

Please follow me.

Go check

if there are strange ingredients.

Okay.

Yan...

- Well... - Fu Zhuang,

can you do me a favor?

Don't tell Wen Yifan about this.

Alright.

Thanks.

No problem, Yan.

This is Yifan's friend.

Yan, we're heading out first.

We'll contact you later.

Thanks for your hard work.

Let me tell you,

it's this restaurant.

It's called Overtime.

Their food safety is definitely a problem!

As soon as my friend stepped out,

he started vomiting!

He just got picked up by the ambulance!

How often do you do a big cleanup?

We clean it thoroughly every day.

After we finish work each day,

- we - Yes.

clean up the kitchen completely

before we leave.

Expose their place for sure!

We'll never eat at their place again!

No way!

We'll totally avoid these kinds

of immoral businesses!

- Yes! - Yes!

Which cutting board is for meat?

Which one is for vegetables?

This one's for meat.

This one's for vegetables.

I keep them separated.

I never mix them.

Everything is handled separately.

Hai, take a picture here.

Okay.

I change the ingredients every day.

Absolutely no leftover ingredients.

Xingde...

will this k*ll me?

What's wrong?

You don't want to pay your daughter's tuition this semester?

I...

Half of the compensation

will go to you.

Is that okay?

I'll take care of it!

No problem at all!

Xingde,

what do you think

I can do?

I'm also short on money.

Nine pieces.

Their food is really problematic.

The toxicity is very strong.

It made my friend feel sick as soon as he ate it.

The bigger the issue,

the more compensation we'll get.

Understand?

Understood.

Before the food investigation results come out,

you must close the business and rectify it.

Close the business and rectify it?

Hello, Qiao.

- What happened? - Hello, Dian.

Something happened at Overtime.

Why didn't you tell me?

What happened?

[Overtime]
I saw the seals on the doors.

So I called Su Haoan.

He said

someone got food poisoning at Overtime.

They wanted compensation,

and they even called the reporters.

Fu Zhuang and your other colleagues were there.

Didn't he tell you?

I've been on leave lately.

He didn't tell me.

I'm sure he offended someone.

That's why this happened.

Alright, I get it.

Let's leave it at that. Bye.

Let me tell you,

[Popular Restaurant Suspected of Causing Customer Food Poisoning]
it's this restaurant.

[Due to Sanitation Issues!]
It's called Overtime.

[Currently Closed for Traceability]
Their food safety is definitely a problem!

As soon as my friend stepped out,

he started vomiting!

He just got picked up by the ambulance!

Who went to Overtime?

Did I

delay your college admission?

Or did I affect you

dating that rich boyfriend?

If I can't make it through,

no matter where you are,

I'll find you.

Let go of her!

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

I felt like I was dying.

Each day felt like a year.

See you next time.

It was Che Xingde's doing.

[Zhao Yuandong]

Jiang,

I heard from Jia

that you're dating her manager.

Didn't he

also open a restaurant?

I heard from your uncle

that the restaurant isn't exactly respectable.

Jiang, let me tell you,

you can't

get too close to those shady people.

Hello, Jiang.

Has Che Xingde been to Overtime?

I don't think so.

I said, has Che Xingde been to Overtime?

I don't know.

[Building 7]

This is the last time I'm coming here.

All of you...

I don't want to see any of you again.

[Building 7]

Can we just live our own lives?

Stop meddling with me.

From now on,

don't involve me!

If something happens,

I'm not cleaning up after you!

You're so annoying!

What are you complaining about, huh?

I'm the one who's annoyed!

Open the door.

She probably forgot her keys again.

Why do you always forget them?

Jiang!

Why didn't you use an umbrella in the rain?

What do you want from us?

I don't care

why you came to Nanwu.

Just don't involve me.

Live your life, and that's all.

Whether you live or die,

it's none of my business.

What kind of talk is that?

You came in here,

and cursed us to death.

What do you mean by that?

There's nothing more to say to you.

If you...

or you...

come bothering me or the people around me again,

I'll definitely call the police.

Call the police, huh?

Why do you love calling the police so much?

Let me tell you,

don't forget

we once raised you!

Don't stop me!

How did you raise me?

Do you need me to remind you?

Do you need that?

Now I can finally live

without depending on anyone,

working hard to live my own life.

Why do you have to show up again?

Jiang,

your aunt...

During those two years, we really lived depending on your aunt.

We can't just turn our backs on that.

Che Yanqin,

the surgery fees you had

were paid by my dad, right?

And Wen Ming's tuition was also paid by my dad.

And the money you needed for your business,

did he ask for it back?

I need to clarify this with you.

All of that money

was your dad's choice to give.

You don't believe it? Ask her!

Ask your mom!

Go ahead!

Ask!

And you...

Why did you make me live under someone else's roof for years?

You could afford

to raise me,

but never had the courage to do so.

Wen Yifan,

what are you saying?

How did you become like this?

Did you learn bad things from that guy

who runs the restaurant?

Learn bad things?

Now you're worried I've turned bad?

Isn't it too late?

I'll say it again.

If you keep bothering the people around me,

I'll fight you to the end.

[Episode 23]
[Where to hide?]

[The story is not over yet...]

Eight bamboos.

Four dots.

I win!

I'm done playing.

I'm leaving now.

Jiang.

Well...

I just lost all my money

playing mahjong.

Can you lend me

some money for this emergency?

I don't have any money.

I will pay you back.

Come on, lend me some.

I told you, I don't have money.

I'll give it to you tomorrow!

I really don't have any money.

I'm really in a hurry...

I really don't have any money. Let go of me!

Fine.

I don't want it.

When I get my salary, I'll give you pocket money.

Go home now.

Wen Shuangjiang,

are you okay?

Who is he?

I don't know him.

You may go home now.
