[Meet Yourself]

[Episode 35]

He always mollycoddles me
with these weird things.

Does he think I'm a kid?

♫ I've been alone ♫

[Where can you find
such a big buyer like me now?]

♫ And navigate through the dark ♫

♫ I'm searching for a meadow of mine ♫

♫ till you came in with the breeze ♫

♫ I feel it rushes over me ♫

♫ Spills my heart into the field ♫

[Receiving a ring
for the second time in my life]

The second time?

[Who gave a ring to you the first time?]

I mean it.

I really can't stand my dad.

You know?

If I post what he did on the Internet,

he'll receive more than 3,000 bad comments.

Take Cuo Bazi for example.

I told him in the beginning
that I wouldn't walk it.

He's the owner.
He should be the one who walks it.

And then my dad
did throw it out.

But when he threw the dog down the hallway,
he said,

"Your sister doesn't want you."

I felt myself suffocating.

How nice that is!

Other kids want to raise a dog,

but their parents won't let them.

You know what?

When I was little,
I raised two rabbits.

My sister hated them.

Have you seen rabbit poop?

Those round pellets.

Isn't it a dollop?

No.

A little smaller than sheep droppings.

Like puff ba*ls.

If you are near-sighted,
you'll think

they're chocolate beans.

I'm a big fan of chocolate.

This metaphor gives
me a strong image.

By the way, Hongdou,

we saw what you posted on WeChat Moments

that this is the second time
you've received a ring.

So

When was the first time?

Is there a story?

There is.

But it's not the kind of story you think it is.

The first person who gave me a ring

was my best friend.

Her name is Chen Nanxing.

We went to college together.

And we were roommates,

being with each other for four years.

Then we both stayed in Beijing,

and supported each other.

We'd been friends for more than ten years.

Now you own a homestay here.

Tell her to come someday.

She can't come.

She's busy with work and has no holidays?

No, no.

She died last year.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Actually,
I really want to tell you about this.

Because

you're my dear friends.

I hope she can live on

in another way.

Every time her name is mentioned,
or

her stories

are circulating among us, then

she will

always exist.

Why am I crying again?

I'm sorry.

Xie Zhiyao told me this.

I'm not sure if I said it correctly.

Probably so.

I understand.

Now she exists here.

Chen...

Chen Nanxing.

Nanxing.

It means the southern pole star.

No, no, no.

It means rhizoma arisaematis.

♫ Listen to the rain
falling into the silent forest ♫

♫ Enjoy the mountainous landscape at sunset ♫

♫ The raindrops on the roof
fall into the eyes secretly ♫

♫ The world is like a quiet island ♫

Nana.

You're still asleep?

What's wrong, Mr. Ma?

I'm going to leave.

Keep this.

A master gave it to me.

It turns ill luck into good,
and calamities into blessings.

Remember to keep it well.

Nana, well,

keep an open mind.

Walk when you can't run.

And when you can't walk,
meditate.

Some mountains are just meant to be climbed.

I can tell you haven't woken up.

Go back to sleep.

I'm leaving.

Thank you, Mr. Ma.

When we came out from there,
he still looked sleepy.

Who's that?

Where is this place?

Impossible.

Whoever he is,
you stayed up all night again.

It was you.

Really?

Yeah.

Alright, stop talking about me.

Your ex-boyfriend from college

screamed your name outside your dorm

in the middle of the night.

He lit the candles downstairs,
right?

Yeah, yeah.

He also lit the candles.

Enough about that.

Enough.

And my girlfriend.

Your ex-boyfriend also did the...

Which one are you talking about?

Hu.

You're back.

Going to kindergarten?

These two are your friends?

My college classmates.

Let me introduce.

This is Hu Youyu, my neighbor.

He sings in the bar every night,
and he sings very well.

Hello, Hu.

Hi, Hu.

Hello.

How about this?

Let's go sing together. My treat.

Well, maybe next time.

We'll take a road trip to Meili

to see the sunset in the snow mountain.

Right.

Do you think Li Jianfeng
will come if I ask him out?

Tell him Bai Manjun is here,
and he'll definitely come.

You're right.

Nonsense.

I'm going to text him.

Come on.

Yeah, yeah.

Let me take a look.

Don't.

Don't text him.

This isn't over.

He told me the other day

that he remembered everything
happened between you.

He's still single.

Isn't that because of you?

Yep.

What does it have to do with me?

Do you remember?

When we were in college...

Don't talk nonsense.

He gave you a love letter.

Yeah.

I wrote the letter for him.

What did it say in the letter?

That's enough, you two.

A strand of your hair swept my cheek.

I don't want to use non-slip
mats in the shower room.

I want this.

Wooden tread. Made of antiseptic wood.

This will do, too.

But it's not easy to clean.

Yeah, we have to take it out every time.

But it's a lot more comfortable to step on it.

OK, let's use this.

I'll take the measurement
and then let you know.

OK.

Why didn't you reply to my message?

Where are you going?

Aren't you supposed to be shopping?

I just got back from the horse ranch.

I'll go after I send Lil Cute home.

Well, then go.

Xiaochun is unloading at the warehouse today.

Xin's alone in the cafe.

She needs help.

I'm going to help her.

Why didn't you reply to my message?

I was drinking with Nana in her room last night,

and my phone was charging.

But you didn't reply to me this morning.

Because I did it on purpose.

Why ask?

Why didn't you reply?

Who gave you a ring the first time?

I'm not going to tell you.

I'll make you feel anxious,
worried, struggling

and agitated.

This is how I felt yesterday
when you said Nana

helped you sell goods
on livestream.

You're going to experience it, too.

No.

Why are you still holding a grudge?

Just tell me.

I won't.

I'm busy.

Take care.

Bye.

And you called me childish.

Aren't you more childish than me?

You're hanging around
on a horse in the day,

and I didn't say you're a showoff.

It's not like there are no
modern means of transportation.

You're the big baby.

A grass ring?

Do you think you can fool me with that?

Then how about I give you money?

Make some money first.

Look at how smug you feel.

Riding a white horse
in the streets during the day.

I'm doing this to see you.

I'm going to Baoshan on business

and stay there for one night.

I'm not coming back tonight.

Then you and Daxia look out on your way.

How clingy.

Chen Nanxing gave me the ring.

Chen Nanxing.

Be careful, it's hot.

No way.

Are these people crazy?

Shall we unplug the phone?

We did it yesterday, didn't we?

I saw it was unplugged this morning,
so I plugged it.

Hello?

Sorry.

We don't know this person.

Your refreshments.

When you finish the tea,
you can ask us for a refill.

Is Singer Nana doing fine?

She's doing fine.

This year,
she's been working as a waitress here?

Do you want some
honey in the tea?

No, thanks.

No?

Then please enjoy.

The hero is too weak.

He's waiting for the heroine to rescue him?

I don't want to read it anymore.

Was the author's brain eaten by zombies?

Why is he weak?

They're a team against all the enemies.

The heroine was disgraced.

Is Barley Tea ugly-looking?

She just wants to take her revenge on society.

It's hard to imagine the scene.

It's horrible. Stop writing.

What is the matter with him?

And this one.

There's too much foreshadowing.

It's neither exciting nor sweet.

Both the hero and heroine have exes.

Is it even necessary?

So gross.

This is funny.

Does the heroine's brain grow muscles?

She's always fighting.

Barley Tea has a record.

She likes to celebrate violence.

You like to celebrate violence?

Don't read these awful comments to me, alright?

These are mild comments.

They're not awful.

And they paid money
to read the chapters.

Those awful reviews, complaints,

and the comments saying they want me dead,

I didn't read them at all.

I know.

But I just have this feeling

that's hard to describe.

Nana.

I'm going to tell you something,

but you can't get mad at me.

What is it?

After I found out what happened to you,
I just feel

our hearts became very, very close.

We've seen the same
world and felt the weight

of abuse and harassment.

Right?

You can sympathize with me, can't you?

So can you.

You helped me so much.

Wasn't that because you felt sympathy?

Well,
I just want to snap you out of it.

So do I.

So you should always believe
that when you get this done,

you can get yourself
together and move on.

Don't come over! Don't come over!

It's Cuo Bazi.

Hold it.

Don't move.

How do you feel?

It feels soft.

Let me touch it again.

What... What is it...

doing?

The abdomen is the weakest part of a dog's body.

This means it trusts you.

It showed its weakest part to you.

I can touch it?

The belly feels softer.

You're so amazing.

Me?

I think you're pretty amazing, too.

I know what happened to you.

You used the money you earned
doing live streaming on your birthday

to help a fan who became sick,

and made lots of
donations to Project Hope.

It's nothing.

Only a few tens of thousands of yuan.

It's normal that
entrepreneurs donate

tens of millions a day,
and the celebrities

donate millions of yuan another day.

We've seen too many of these things

and it's like tens of thousands of yuan

aren't worth mentioning.

But actually,
you have no idea what you've done.

At the school where my mother teaches,

one thousand yuan can cover a child's tuition

and living expenses for one year.

One hundred thousand
yuan is enough for 30

poverty-striken kids
to complete three years

of compulsory education.



It's enough to form a class.

It's not that we can't change the world.

On the contrary,
everything we do

is subtly changing the world.

If we are more loving and caring,
the world

will become better.

If we're cold and unscrupulous,

the world will become worse.

I think Xinxin gives us a
reverse way of thinking.

We often say we can't change the world,
but hope the world

won't change us.

But people are always changing.

As we get older,
gain more experience,

and meet more people,

who can guarantee that we won't change?

Cuo Bazi.

Do you want to give it a hug?

I don't dare to.

Be brave.

A big hug.

Try it.

Let me try.

Come on.

A big hug, a big hug.

[Youfeng Cafe]

Why did you choose this profession?

Have you ever felt afraid?

I'm fearless.

Horror movies are my favorite types of movies.

After you started to do this job,

what was the largest change you've had?

Hongdou.

What are you watching?

Imperfect Humans.

I seem to have heard of it.

Is it a variety show?

A talk show.

Which star is being interviewed?

A mortician.

Just a normal person.

An ordinary person?

Then this show must not be popular.

The business card Hongdou gives you.

She went to see President Xie's granny,

and said she'd like you to think about it.

What show is it?

A talk show.

But not a clout-chasing one.

Why don't you check your email again?

Hongdou said Xiaochun sent you

the most precious thing in the world.

What is it?

A kind and gentle heart.

Check it out.

It's so awkward.

Damai.

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

Do you think

it's a good idea

that I do live streaming again?

What do you want?

I want to sing

and help sell the products.

But you'll get abused by the netizens
if you sell things online.

I'm supporting the farmers and agriculture.

I can sell the products in the village

and help promote our place.

You're not running away?

Yeah.

And you're not scared anymore?

I'm scared.

But you guys put shields on me.

I now have thick shields

that can withstand any kind of damage.

Do you mean it?

I've thought it through.

I need to face my fears
and do something worthwhile.

So what do you need me to do for you?

Cheer for me.

That's easy.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

It's not enough.

Not enough?

Beware!

Come on, come on, come on.

Keep it down.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

I can cheer for you
when I am lying down.

It's the same when I'm standing up.

Come on, come on, come on.

I'm going to sleep.

Come on, come on, come on.

I'll cheer for you in my dream.

Singer Nana is the best.

[Youfeng Cafe]

♫ The world is like a quiet island ♫

♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫

Nana.

You came to work.

I've been off for almost a week.

There are lots of things to do here.

And Hongdou's busy decorating our homestay.

I can't let her work for me all the time.

Great. I miss you so much.

Nana.

You want oil sticks?

I've already had breakfast.

Go to your work.

Alright.

Nana is back.

Morning.

Granny Xiuying, Granny Caiyun.

How's your family?

I didn't go home.

A friend of mine came to visit.

I just hung out with her for a few days.

Granny Caiyun.

I hope you haven't got tired these days.

I haven't.

I was just taking pictures with them.

Taking pictures is not as
relaxing as sweeping the floor.

You've become internet celebrities now.

What is an internet celebrity?

Someone who's very popular on the internet.

She means you're popular
and many people like you now.

That's great.

Popular.

It's good to be popular.

We'll start to work.

OK.

♫ The sky is turning bright silently ♫

♫ Waiting for the seabirds
to call forth the ripples ♫

Hello.

Hello.

Dropping people off?

Lanzhi is back, too.

Long time no see.

Is everything alright?

It is.

I'm going to drop them off.

Come over for a chat tonight.

OK.

OK, OK.

Take care.

See you.

See you, uncle.

Bye-bye.

Dad.

There are really more tourists now.

Do you think my brother has actually made it?

Can he make it alone?

It should be the government
that made this happen.

If you can't talk nicely, then don't.

Those words were very offensive.

Yuan.

Aren't I a good talker?

You aren't.

That's it.

Truth is hard on the ears.

Watch out.

We've redecorated the shower room

according to your last request.

But we want to achieve simplicity,

so there are fewer decorative elements.

Therefore,
we need to accentuate the room

with soft furnishings.

For example,
the sofa may need some cushions.

And the dining table
needs tablecloth.

Hongdou.

And about the bed...

I'll leave you two alone.

Thank you.

Come home for lunch.

This is early.

My dad, my aunt,
and Yuan are back.

You haven't met my aunt.

She's dying to see you.

What's wrong?

No.

Is this an official meeting with your parents?

Sort of.

You think it's too abrupt?

It is abrupt.

Most importantly,

I'm not mentally prepared,

and I don't have any experience.

What experience does this require?

You've met my dad,
and you know Yuan.

My aunt is a pretty nice person.

She's just an ordinary housewife,

but she may ask you more questions.

I'm going to make a call.

I need to call my sister and my mom.

We'll have a video meeting.

Meeting?

The first time I went to
your brother-in-law's home,

I just went there straight from work.

I bought some fruit.

They just want to know
what kind of person you are,

what your family background is like.

Well,
is there anything else I should be aware of?

During the meal,
tell them how good the food tastes.

And don't rush to wash the dishes.

That's menial.

Don't always play with your phone.

Listen more and talk less.

Keep smiling.

Drink tea often.

Got it, what else?

No.

It's not that complicated.

Just go, Pikachu!

Alright.

Bulbasaur.

Let's go.

Go buy some fruit.

I've already bought them.

I just need you to come back with me.

Don't be nervous.

I'm not nervous.

And you just had a video meeting?

I was just filling them in.

Fill them in?

Why don't you feel me?

Why are they still cooking?

No, no, just sit down.

Sit.

My mom cares about you.

Especially my mom.

She thought my brother didn't want a girlfriend

because he wanted to become a monk.

Why?

My brother used to have a friend,
whose kid has grown up.

But suddenly he chose to become a monk.

Now every time he sees us,
he'd say "Amitabha."

Really?

This is true.

The fish is ready.

Coming.

Put it here.

Move it over a bit.

Be careful, it's hot.

Auntie, stop cooking.

We've got too many dishes.

No more, no more.

That's all.

I asked Yao what do you like to eat,

he said you'd eat everything.

I do eat everything.

Yeah, she's not a picky eater.

She eats everything.

That's nice.

These are all her
signature dishes.

Well,
my cooking skill isn't very good.

I could only help your auntie out.

Yeah.

Your uncle was so well-behaved today.

He offered to help me.

In usual times,
he wouldn't even care

if the soy bottle was tipped over.

Luckily,
Yao and Yuan aren't like him.

Hongdou's still here.

Can't you spare my feelings?

OK, OK.

Let's not talk about him.

Come on.

Dig in.

Let's eat, let's eat.

Hongdou, start eating.

Alright.

Slow down.

You're like a hungry ghost.

I'm still growing.

Come on.

Thank you, uncle.

Hongdou.

Yuan talked about you a
lot when we were at home.

He said a really nice
sister moved in the Yard.

He wronged you and
you didn't get mad.

Mom.

Why did you bring this up?

She's not saying something bad about you.

Granny always tells me on the phone

that Hongdou was accompanying her at the booth,

or Hongdou was
chatting with her.

Hongdou even bought her toys.

She likes you very much,
right, mom?

Yeah.

She phoned us the other day to say

you got together.

All of us were thrilled.

Hongdou.

Here's a toast to you.

Thank you, auntie.

I wish you and Yao all the best

for your careers and relationship.

Good luck.

Thank you, auntie and uncle.

Don't worry.

I will treat him well.

You said it yourself.

If you don't treat me right,
I'll call my aunt.

If Hongdou treats you badly,
you should reflect on yourself.

How can you tell on her?

Right.

Exactly.

She won't treat you badly for no reason.

Yeah.

Now to all of you,
I'm like spilled water, right?

Do what you got to do.

Of course.

The water is all over me.

Let's eat.

Have some vegetables.

Thank you.

Eat whatever you like.

If you don't like it, put it aside.

OK.

Granny, have some, too.

Do you want fish ba*ls?

Let me get you a fish ball.

Let me, let me.

Eat mine, granny.

OK.

♫ With a slim figure ♫

♫ My baby, let's go to sleep ♫

I should go help them.

Sit here.

Drink your tea.

Hongdou.

Here come the fruits.

Pick some yourself.

Lanzhi.

I'm going to visit Grandpa Yang.

Going to drink?

No.

Only a little.

Just go.

Hongdou.

Feel at home.

OK, uncle.

I'm heading out.

He doesn't know any of
his neighbors in Kunming.

That was a rough time for him.

Every time he comes here,
we can't even see him at night.

He's always making visits.

Uncle.

Look at this house.

How wonderful.

All furniture here are new.

Deqing and his wife are filial.

Why are you still clamoring for moving out?

What do you want?

Qing.

Uncle.

How are you doing in school?

Not bad, uncle.

Have you decided which college you wanna attend?

I haven't, uncle.

Ask Yao to find some
good schools for you.

OK.

Go.

Tell your mom not to make any more dishes.

It's enough.

Go get your dad here
to have drinks with us.

OK.

Don't go.

I dare him to come back.

This scoundrel.

Alright, alright.

We won't let him come.

Uncle.

Come on.

Let's drink.

I haven't had a drink with you in a while.

Why did Deqing ask you to come over?

Not him.

Yao has got
himself a girlfriend.

Lanzhi hasn't met her yet.

We came to see her.

Girlfriend?

Where's she from?

From Beijing.

His girlfriend bought

the homestay under construction.

Before,

he'd been creating chaos
with Huang in the village.

And now,
there's one more person.

Once they're together,

see what a mess they
made in the village.

There's no longer peace.

You just don't know.

It's like they poked a hornets' nest.

The people who
came are all tourists.

Isn't it nice to have more visitors?

On my way here,

I saw lots of stalls set up
in front of the houses,

selling tie-dyed
products and scarfs.

Yeah.

They're all doing business.

Then who'll farm the land?

What will we eat?

We'll still need to farm the land.

It's another income.

Income?

What income?

They only see money now.

Absurd.

Uncle.

When I was little,
my brother got sick.

We had no money,
and had to borrow from you.

You didn't have enough savings,

so you helped us borrow money from others.

It took us a lot of effort

to scrape together the money.

But the health care
systems weren't developed.

My brother

cost a lot of money,
and still didn't get cured.

When I grew bigger,
I only remembered my family was poor.

The conditions were bad before.

Education hadn't become compulsory,

we had to get people to chip in for schools.

You let Deqing take the money,

and drag me to school.

I had disappointing grades,

but at least I finished junior high.

I'm not well-educated.

My first wife and I

wanted Yao to study hard

and leave this village.

He's just like his mom.

He's got a useful brain,
went to a university,

and found a well-paid job.

His next generation
would finally live a good life.

But he insisted on coming back.

The first two years since he came back,

I messed with him a lot.

The Tie-dye Workshop in the Bai family

was going broke,
and he took it over.

I blocked the door and yelled at him.

And then even the
police officers came.

What a disgrace.

But I thought at that time,
for the sake of his future,

I had to do that even if
I embarrassed myself.

Later,

Lanzhi told me

every generation is better
than the one that went before it.

We haven't read much.

But Yao went to college
and saw a bigger world.

He doesn't see things the way we do.

We have to trust him

and ask for his advice
if we meet some trouble.

Uncle.

Most people of your
generation were farmers,

and had little money.

People of our generation
can emigrate to cities to work.

Life has become much better.

But the children and the elderly

are all left behind at home.

But look at the condition now.

If we can have more visitors,

all the family can stay at home

and earn more money,

that's excellent.

Siping.

What do you think will happen

to our village?

I don't know.

I don't dare to imagine.

A few years ago,
who would have thought about

selling flowers on live streaming?

The delivery services are fast.

We don't even need to take cash with us.

Uncle.

We can't manage too many things in one lifetime.

The world outside is changing fast.

We should change our
thinking for our next generation

and the generation after that.

Right?

Impressive, uncle.

Granny, I should go.

I want to take a flower.

Let me remove the thorns for you.

Here you are.

I'll send it to you tomorrow when it's ready.

Hongdou, wait.

It's a little gift from me and Yao's dad.

Take it, come on.

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no.

Auntie, I can't take this.

It's the first time we met.

You have to take it.

No, auntie.

This is too much.

Not much, take it.

Just take it.

Yao.

After you walk Hongdou home,
go pick up your dad.

He must have drunk a lot.

OK.

Thank you for today, auntie.

The food is very delicious.

I'll teach Yao to cook
the dishes you like.

He'll make them for you.

Let's go.

OK.

Good night.

Bye.

♫ Go to a windy place to meet you ♫
