Episode 31

Am I pretty?

Stunning.

You look pretty in all clothes

Really?

I’ll change another dress

and show you.

I’m afraid. I dare not to say.

I’ll help you.

Good.

Thirsty?

Yes.

Do we have beers?

Yes.

Silly.

Do you feel better?

Yes.

How about this one?

How many did you buy?

I bought three.

This brand offers forty percent off.

This costs only a thousand and three hundred.

Gorgeous.

The price is stunning, too.

It’s a meeting with the crew.

I have to be elegant and graceful.

I can’t look cheap.

And I’m not meeting

an actor or a deputy director.

The director and the producer

are going to my audition.

The leading actress is Sun Li.

Gosh.

I really hope I could work with her.

That’s nice.

Awesome. Awesome!

I’ll change another one

and show you.

Wait.

No rush.

Maybe later.

Mingyue wants a word.

Didn’t you say you’d tell her for me?

No.

You did.

I didn’t.

Speak for yourself.

What is it? Get it out.

Promise me you won’t be mad.

That’s it?

I knew a few days ago.

He put your photo on his screen.

I saw it.

I never sent him my photo!

I know. No panic.

I told you before.

I’ve made it clear with him.

We’ll be friends.

I had

a little crush on him

under that sweet circumstance.

I’m about to take a TV work.

No time for romance.

I’ll focus on my career.

Glad that you’re not mad.

Why would I be?

Nothing happened between us.

Didn’t you

have good feelings for him?

You can have a try.

Stop thinking about Ling Xiao.

I’m not thinking about him.

Li Jianjian.

Just eat the watermelon.

Why are you jabbing it?

Don’t yell at me.

I’m just an outsider.

The one I like likes Mingyue.

The one Mingyue likes

likes Li Jianjian.

In the end, I’m

at the bottom of the love chain.

It’s not true.

You just turned him down?

What happened later?

Later, I

blocked his WeChat

and calls.

I won’t

meet him again.

Is it necessary?

It is.

It’s really not necessary

even if you don’t like someone.

Just alienate him.

Besides, doesn’t it feel good

to know someone likes you?

Stop it.

I really hate

being suited.

I’m going back to my room. Stop.

Girls like Mingyue

are idiots in love, aren’t they?

Keep jabbing the watermelon.

You mean you have

a half-brother from your mom

and another from your dad?

What half-brother?

Not mine.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I thought you were

just tightfisted

as the son of a rich man.

He Ziqiu,

you’re my best friend.

I share all my sorrow with you.

What about you?

You told me nothing

and bore everything on your mind.

Am I your friend?

You’re my buddy.

But maybe

I’m too proud.

I think it’s humiliating

to be abandoned.

Humiliating?

Speaking of which,

I’m humiliating.

I was turned down.

We can’t even be friends anymore.

She blocks my WeChat.

So? Will you give up?

I don’t know.

What about you?

Just let it go with your mom?

I think my life is wonderful.

My dad is right.

Her life isn’t easy.

And she’s not bad at all.

Li Jianjian is right, too.

At least, she never asked me

to take care of her when she is old.

And she called Zhao Huaguang

and condemned him for my sake.

She did what she could.

I think I should let go

and move on.

Is that your true thought?

I think my life is wonderful.

So, you guys,

and you, don’t pity me.

I never did.

You’d better not.

Let’s move on, buddy.

Mingyue, what’s wrong with you?

Nothing.

I didn’t sleep well last night.

Well.

I met Zhuang Bei last night.

You blocked him?

Don’t mention him.

Is he so annoying to you?

I thought he was nice.

How could he do that?

I hate him.

He just likes you.

Stop it.

Ziqiu, can you do me a favor?

OK.

Please tell him for me

that he and I wouldn’t work out.

Don’t come to me anymore.

Zhuang Bei is so poor.

Please.

I’m really uncomfortable

about that.

OK, I see.

Ziqiu, have a steamed bun.

Will you please stop

giving me steamed buns?

I’ve had six.

It’s small.

Not just steamed buns,

can you please

stop blasting me with your caring messages?

I’m good.

I’m happy now. I’m fine.

I didn’t blast you with messages.

I wanted to know what you were doing

and sent you hilarious videos.

No, thank you.

All right.

I don’t mean you can’t.

But send me the most hilarious one.

I don’t want the plain ones.

OK.

All right.

Ziqiu, one more.

Is it a revenge?

How do I look?

Gorgeous!

You’re just like

the actress at the gala.

Will the director and the producer

think

that I’m just pretty

but knows nothing about acting?

And I did poorly

in the sample video for audition.

It’s a gorgeous lady you applied for, right?

A belle, from a rich family.

That’s right.

This is the right dress.

Yes. Yeah.

You look just like a lady from a rich family.

Yeah, I fit the role.

All right. Have some breakfast.

You have an interview at ten.

I can’t. I’ll skip it.

Have to get prepared.

I will get the role this time.

I’ll prove myself.

Good luck. You can do it.

Tang Can.

Ziqiu, one more.

Please wait for a moment.

OK.

Hi, Director. I’m Tang Can.

Twenty-six.

Mom!

What’s so urgent?

Get it. Get in.

What’s happening?

You wouldn’t come down so fast

if I didn’t say it was urgent, would you?

You scared me.

I thought it was something big.

Mom is kidding with you.

It’s good news.

What?

You know the real estate project

to be built across street from home?

A lavish residential complex.

The services are great.

Moreover, it’s in a school district.

Let me show you.

This one.

I think

this flat with an area of eighty-five m2

is great.

Even after

you’re married and have a kid,

it’s big enough.

Mom, I’ve been working for only few years.

I can’t afford a flat.

When can you

afford a flat?

I’ve talked to your dad.

We’ll offer fifty percent

of the payment.

I make a few thousands yuan a month.

I can’t afford the loans.

I know your salary

can’t afford it.

I’ll pay the loans for you.

When you find another job

and get a higher pay,

you can help pay the loans.

Think about it. You need to pay the rent

living out there, don’t you?

Why don’t you spend the money

on a flat of your own?

Anyway, don’t worry about it.

Just give your household register page

to me.

You may need to come to the bank

to apply for the loans.

Don’t worry about others.

I’ll take care of them.

Mom, I don’t need a flat.

Don’t buy it for me.

Why not? We have to buy it.

I’ve put down on the flat.

Two hundred thousand. Not refundable.

Why didn’t you talk to me first?

You’re busy, aren’t you?

And it’s a good thing.

I wanted to give you a surprise.

I did it for your sake.

I bought a flat for you.

Yet you’re mad at me.

I’m not mad at you.

I just feel too much pressure.

You spend your life savings

on a flat for me.

I know you’re a good girl

and you worry about us.

But it’s OK.

We’re young. We can still work.

Your generation

has huge pressure.

If a girl owns a flat,

she’ll have a say in her family.

Here.

Take them back.

Two hundred thousand.

That’s a year’s salary

of your dad.

What is it?

Is it about work?

Go back.

And, never forget your study.

Go, go, go.

I have to go back, too.

Go, go, go.

Hello? Who is this?

Mingyue, it’s me.

I borrowed this phone.

Um,

I’m outside your office building.

Can you come out for a moment?

I want to make it clear with you.

I saw you.

OK.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Sorry

for coming all of a sudden.

I just

don’t want us

to end terribly.

You blocked my contact.

I don’t think it’s necessary.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me. Really.

Didn’t He Ziqiu tell you?

I really have no feelings for you.

It makes me uncomfortable

each time I think of you.

You make me uncomfortable. Really.

Don’t like me.

I’m so sorry.

We were having

a conference call.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

It’s OK.

I’m the producer of this TV work.

Nice to meet you.

This is the director.

Hello, Director.

Hello.

Take a seat.

Yeah. Be seated.

Here. Director.

Tang Can.

Please

introduce yourself.

OK, I’m Tang Can.

I’m twenty-six.

I didn’t act for two years.

But I’ve been auditioning.

I just haven’t had

a role that fits me.

I’m willing to take all kinds of roles.

And I have experience in all business fields.

If it’s necessary,

I can learn from real life.

And since I haven’t acted for long,

my sample video

isn’t good enough.

I was tense.

But I can do the audition now.

It’s not necessary.

We all watched your works.

Yeah.

You were a child star.

We trust your acting skills.

And you’re pretty.

Thanks, Director.

Now we meet you, I think

you’re better than I imagined.

Can you please stand up

and show us your figure

from a side and the back?

No problem.

The back, please.

I think they’re alike from the back.

Exactly.

Ask about her height.

How tall are you?



Great.

Similar height.

All right, thank you.

Please have a seat.

You said you are willing

to take all kinds of roles,

right?

Yeah, except for Li Tianna,

I can try Song Xiaoping

and Fang Shanshan.

I can do the audition.

Look,

do you like Sun Li?

I always wish I could work with her.

Now you have a chance

to work with her.

Sun Li has waist injury.

This TV work

is about a declining martial art family.

There are a lot of actions and fights.

Sun Li wants to do it herself.

But she’s incapable

of some actions.

So we need

a girl

with similar height and figure to hers

to do the actions for her.

And Sun Li

agrees you’re very alike

after she saw your photo.

Of course, with your ability,

being a stunman is a petty work

for a fine timber.

However,

if you take

our offer,

we’ll give priority to you

in our next TV work.

Yeah.

You can think about it at home

and give us your reply.

I think

Can should keep being an actor.

When she was young,

she worked for advertising and TV series

and earned a lot.

Many people envy her.

Do you think it’s necessary for me

to lie to the relatives

if you didn’t open a shop

on line

and chase your dream

of becoming a famous star?

I am afraid I may be nailed, too.

I feel humiliated, too.

Can, your mom wants the best for you.

Just listen to her.

You are very good.

I mean it.

It’s just because I like someone else.

What kind of girl

is she?

She’s gentle, quiet

and elegant.

She works a nine-to-five job.

We need

a girl

with similar height and figure to hers

to do the actions for her.

Hi, your shoes.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you have them in size forty-three?

We don’t have them in our store.

But we can have a pair

delivered from other stores.

Do you have them in other colors?

We have them in black, too.

Can I have a look?

Of course. Hold on, please.

Thank you.

Who are you buying shoes for?

Ling Xiao.

It’s his birthday soon.

The pair I sent him in high school

has been worn out.

So it’s for your boyfriend.

Ms. Li, that’s the basic style.

You’ll see many people wearing that.

Buy a limited pair.

Shut up!

Are you done?

The lunch break is almost over.

OK.

Come and take a look, Juan.

Come.

Hello.

This is the black pair.

Do you have them in forty-two?

Yes.

Good.

I want a pair of this in forty-two.

And a pair

of the blue ones in forty-three.

Can I give you an address

for you to mail these shoes to?

Sure, no problem.

Thank you. Give me the bill, please.

OK, one moment.

Mingyue.

Can we meet in the afternoon?

Of course.

You both look miserable.

What’s up?

Can,

it didn’t go well?

No. It did.

It’s just different from what I imagined.

They’re satisfied with me

and want me to be Sun Li’s stunman.

In the past, I got

offers for special guests.

Now it’s down to be a stunman.

That’s irritating.

Not at all.

They didn’t put a g*n on my head.

It’s up to me.

Cry if you want to. Don’t hold it back.

Perhaps it’s too big a shock.

I don’t want to cry at all.

Tell us about you.

Why did the employee of the year

play hooky?

My mom informed me today

that a real estate project

next to my home is on sale.

She wants to take loans and buy me a flat.

If she does,

their savings will be emptied out.

We will have to pay ten thousand a month.

Ten thousand

each month for thirty years.

What if my parents

are severely ill?

What if a sudden change

happens to us?

We could be stuck in economic crisis.

Convince your mom

not to buy it.

She put down two hundred thousand.

It’s not refundable.

It’s like what your mom would do.

I can feel I’m

cocooned.

If you don’t snap each thread

your mom spins,

in time, you will be locked

forever in her cocoon.

On mom-daughter relationship,

I don’t have much experience.

But if it’s a cocoon,

when it breaks,

it’ll become a butterfly.

It’s easily said. To become a butterfly?

If it can become a butterfly,

it means it is a pupa of butterfly.

I’m just

an ordinary worm.

I’m an ordinary worm, too.

I just look like a pupa of butterfly.

The real butterfly

is you, Jianjian.

I’m not a butterfly.

I look like a butterfly.

But I’m just a moth,

which flaps to the light and then...

Drops.

God!

Back in high school,

I thought wherever

I want to go

is Rome which all roads lead to.

But now

I realize

each road to Rome has a guidepost

saying dead end.

I know a road

which is

the road my mom sets for me,

her road.

Your mom is worrying too much.

She’s worrying more than my mom does.

I know she works hard.

For all her life,

my dad and I have been the focus.

She believes her life career

are my dad and me.

As long as the two of us are good,

it’s a success for her.

According to you,

I’ve been the focus of my dad’s life.

We can’t keep it going like this.

We’re in our mid-twenties,

not teenagers anymore.

According to my mom,

when she was

at our age,

she was already making money for the family.

Right. It has to stop.

Or we’ll be stuck

in the cocoon.

Be it a worm, moth or a butterfly,

let’s break out first.

Yeah, break out.

Break out.

Babe, what’s wrong?

Why are you crying?

I remember once I went home

and saw my dad

peeling garlics.

I wanted to make a joke.

Just for fun.

So I asked him on WeChat

what he was doing.

He took out his glasses

and then typed

a reply to me.

It took him two minutes to type a sentence.

Because I told him

to try not

to send voice message

but texts.

At that moment, I found

my dad is getting old.

The restaurant is extremely good.

No wonder it’s

the No. 1 Spanish cuisine of the city.

It is good.

When I saw its charge,

I knew it was good.

A thousand for three.

Never mind.

I can afford

a decent meal.

Thank you, Ms. Li.

Who bought this? It’s a big box.

My dad mailed it to me.

Ziqiu carried it up in the morning.

What’s in it?

Here.

I don’t know.

Can I unpack it?

Foods.

What’s this?

Liquor-saturated portunids.

Seem delicious!

What else?

Never have I imagined

that I can eat

the pickled sour turnips made by your mom.

Abalones, sipunculid worm jelly.

That’s the taste.

OK, you get them out.

I’ll give my dad a call.

Send our gratitude to your mom.

Let me help.

Leave it to me.

You should

call your dad now.

Solve the flat issue.

Say it nice.

Good girl.

Dad

Dad

Hello.

Can, have you had dinner?

Yes.

Dad, I got your package.

You know your mom.

She never says it,

but she misses you

each day at home.

And she

makes your favorite foods.

She’s too proud to deliver it to you.

So we mailed it to you.

Is she better?

She said she had a headache.

Did she go to a hospital?

She refused to go.

She said she searched it on the Internet.

It was nervous headache.

Some pills will k*ll it.

Is she a doctor?

She treats herself?

What if there’s a tumor in her brain?

Can you think of something good about me?

Tumor?

You’re the headache to me.

Say it nice, OK?

Go check it in the hospital.

Your mom isn’t listening. She’s away.

I’m fine.

If you want something to eat,

call me.

I’ll ask your mom to make it for you.

Dad.

Um,

is the position

in the museum

still open?

What? You disagreed?

I’m in Fuzhou for business.

Your mom called

and told me about the flat.

I told her we’d talk when I came back.

But she has put down

two hundred thousand.

Your mom is so...

Why didn’t she discuss with me?

Dad, it’s OK.

If Mom wants to take loans,

she’ll need my identity paper

and me to go to the bank

for the co-loaners application.

If you haven’t agreed on this,

it’s easy.

I’ve asked

a friend who is a estate salesman.

He said the down payment isn’t refundable,

but we can

assign it to another buyer.

Don’t give your mom

your household register page.

I’ll be home in two days.

Wait till I get home, OK?

OK.

Dad, take care of yourself.

All right. Good night.

You’ve eaten half a bowl.

You can’t eat so much at night.

Three more pieces.

No.

Have a bite. It’s good.

Put it away.

Don’t. Three more pieces.

Girls,

help me dump these.

What?

Useless clothes.

Gladly I didn’t throw away the woven bags

I used to pack my stuff.

I can barely put them all in.

Chop, chop.

That’s all.

You wanna dump all?

I closed the online store.

And I give up the acting career.

I called my dad just now.

I’m going to the interview tomorrow

for the narrator of the museum.

I won’t need so many clothes.

You really want to quit acting?

I’m twenty-six.

Forget it.

It’s time to consider for myself.

Luckily, I bought

two flats with the money

I earned from acting in ads.

I won’t have much pressure

to make my own bread.

Wait. You need to reconsider it.

I’ve been considering.

And I have seen it through.

I’m not made to be an actress.

I’ve come to the end of this path.

Never mind.

When Jianjian said

her dad was old,

I realized

my parents were old, too.

I can’t make fast money.

But it’s a relief

to my parents

that I can take care of myself.

Stop standing there. Get started.

Come on.

I’ll call for my brothers.

Yes.

Yeah.

Being single for so long makes me dumb.

We have men here.

If you regret it,

I can carry them back up.

These cost a lot of money after all.

Can is awesome.

I thought she’d want to carry them up.

Yeah.

These are her life.

Don’t be so sure.

When you dump the clothes,

you have a reason to buy new ones.

The replacement of the old with the new.

Let’s do it.

Haichao Noodles

Welcome!

Careful.

Here is your fish ball noodles.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

Haichao.

Ms. Zhang.

Are you done now?

Have you had breakfast?

Yes.

Be seated. Have some tea.

OK.

Haichao, here is the thing.

My younger son

likes Jiaozi very much.

But I don’t know how to cook.

So I learned from the video

and made some.

You’re an expert.

Do me a favor and be my judge.

You don’t need me.

You’re the best judge for your cooking.

I can’t. You’re the expert.

Here. Take one.

I...

Have one.

How is it?

It’s good.

Really?

Great.

Well, have one more.

One more. One more.

I’ve had a lot of breakfast.

Just this one.

Ling, have you had breakfast?

I have Jiaozi here.

I’m full.

Ms. Zhang made the Jiaozi

specially for Haichao, I think.

Haichao, enjoy.

Ling Heping...

I understand. I do.

Crazily in love.

Ling, you’re wrong.

We’re just friends.

Friends.

Friends? I understand.

I won’t take long.

Just one word. Then I’ll leave.

What do you need me to buy for the lunch?

Nothing.

I’ll go to the supermarket and buy them.

Then I’ll come back early.

Go on.

You’re leaving, Ling?

Have some Jiaozi.

Keep feeding him.

Go.

Bye, Ling.

Go on.

Goodbye.

Ignore him. Old fool.

It’s OK.

Haichao, are you free at noon?

No.

The kids said

they’d come back for lunch.

I need to prepare for it later.

Good. I have nothing to do today.

I can help you with it.

Let’s go.

Let me help with it. Come on.

No, no, no. Thanks. Thank you.

Thank you.

Take a seat. Have some tea.

Here.

Haichao, is it great?

Have one more.

I made these for you.

She’s not like that.

Stop. You’re exaggerating.

He hid it from me that he’s in love.

He told me that she was a friend.

Do you see a friend

feeding him Jiaozi?

Dad Ling,

if you envy my dad,

get such a friend

for yourself.

I envy him?

I’m jealous.

He hasn’t gotten married. Yet he hid it.

I don’t have to hide.

We’re just friends.

Oh, here you go again.

Just friends.

Does a friend feed you foods?

Just friends.

Just friends.

Ms. Zhang and I won’t work out.

Why not?

She’s active and you’re passive.

No, no, no.

Ms. Zhang is too active.

She’s too lively

and enthusiastic. No.

No, no, no. That’s good.

Crazy love. Without enthusiasm,

it’s not crazy love, right?

Nonsense. Jeez.

Crazy love at my age?

Listen,

similar temperament is all I ask.

What’s wrong with your age?

Why can’t you have crazy love?

Yeah.

The way Ms. Zhang looks at you

is like

- a girl’s first love. - A girl...

She looked at you...

Don’t. I don’t care if it’s hers.

It’s not my first love.

I can’t hold her up.

She should find a better man.

Let them...

Have the crazy love.

Oh, look.

you’re shy.

All right, let’s not mock Dad Li.

If he thinks they don’t match,

forget it.

I find Ms. Zhang

is strong

and active.

I don’t want Dad Li to suffer

from her.

Right.

How strong can she be?

Besides, who can make him suffer?

Dad Ling,

you must have forgotten Ms. Chen Ting.

Forget it.

I say, let it go.

Forget it.

I think you should find someone

gentle and kind

so that

I can come for meals.

So all you want are the meals

for these years we’ve been together?

What else can I get from you?

OK, I won’t starve you.

Go to the restaurant.

Noodles for all day. As much as you want.

You’re so disloyal.

Kick me out even before you have a wife.

Look at him.

All right. Let’s quit the lip service.

It’s Ling Xiao’s birthday soon.

Do you remember it?

Of course I do.

My colleague agrees to change shift with me.

I’ll make lunch

for you with your dad.

OK.

You have to leave the cake

to me.

Of course.

What will you do, Jianjian?

Eat.

You’re responsible for eating?

Just eating?

What a foodie!

I’ll eat Ling Xiao’s share.
