"Little Women" is such

a good film.

I read the novel,

but I didn't really get it.

Now that I've experienced more of life,

I realize how brave the heroine is.

Here's to being brave.

Why hasn't "Little Women" been returned yet?

I've been waiting forever.

Don't know.

Check who rented it.

What gives?

Why should I tell you?

I'm a professional.

I have to protect my clients' privacy.

If you're that desperate,

watch it online.

Just be patient.

Why should I?

Didn't you say there was a new set?

I'll buy that one instead.

Oh, right.

Didn't you say I gave you a terrible deal?

So I sold it to someone else.

You're the worst.

Jia.

How'd you feel about the film?

A great movie is like a mirror.

It makes you look at your own life

through someone else's story.

That's quite a clever line.

But I don't want to give up marriage just to chase freedom.

I want both.

I've always wanted a relationship

and a big family.

Do you think

that makes me shallow?

Not at all.

Wanting love and company

isn't shallow.

Besides,

what matters is you know what you want.

That already puts you ahead of most people.

Xiaoman, you should have more confidence.

Okay.

So, what kind of person are you looking for?

I've talked about this with my dad.

There are three things that matter most.

First, someone you don't get tired of looking at.

Second, someone fun.

Third,

someone you can talk to.

If they're easy on the eyes, that means they're handsome.

If you can talk to them, that means they're emotionally intelligent.

My ex was great at talking,

but later I found out he talked like that to every girl.

Being fun is the hardest to define.

Who even counts as fun?

Mr. Yu's fun, isn't he?

What's wrong?

The movie was so good.

I want to watch it again and again.

I'm not returning this disc.

They can keep the deposit.

- All right. - Here.

Cheers!

(To those)

(who don't understand racing,)

(it's just cars going in circles).

(But the ones who get it, know the charm of it.)

(It's the never-ending pursuit of speed.)

(The thrill of acceleration, flirting with danger.)

(It inflates your confidence.)

(It gives you the rush of controlling roaring power)

(and complicated machinery.)

(It's a peak celebration of technology and courage.)

(Speed and passion) Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

the final's about to begin.

Who will take home the title?

Let's find out.

Starting positions in the final

are determined by the qualifying scores.

First on the grid is Bu Jingyun.

His car looks ready to blast off the starting line.

Second is Nie Feng,

driving the "Very Invincible."

Third is our lovely racer,

Zhang Liheng.

Fourth is Yu Yu.

He and his "Who Borrowed The Little Woman?"

are heading for the trophy.

Ready!

(4 Yu Yu) Go!

Look at that!

Yu Yu nailed the start

and jumped straight into third.

He tries an outside overtake.

Nie Feng holds his line tight.

The finalists' lap times

(Yu Yu, Third Place) are incredibly fast.

All three broke the ten-second mark,

hitting speeds over 100 kilometers per hour.

Yu Yu slipped in the corner,

but he corrected his line right away.

Nie Feng tries to pass.

His fight with Bu Jingyun is intense.

(Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Zhang Liheng, Yu Yu)

Every driver is locked in.

At these speeds,

one slip

and you're done.

Yu Yu takes a braver line into the corner.

Astonishing!

Yu Yu uses two back-to-back curves

to jump straight into first.

He skims the edge of the track to pass them.

Bu Jingyun refuses to back down

and tries to reclaim the lead,

but Yu Yu's line

is flawless.

This time, Nie Feng tries.

He's glued to "Who Borrowed The Little Woman?"

Yu Yu doesn't let him get through.

(Yu Yu, First Place) Two corners left. Who'll take it?

Straightaway! Speed up! Go!

Yu Yu crosses the finish line first!

We have our champion!

(Yu Yu, First Place)

Remote model car racing champion.

Yeah, I won. Impressive, right?

You learned to drive?

No.

This.

A toy car?

Wu.

Come here.

Allow me to introduce you.

Don't underestimate this thing.

Its top speed

hits more than 100 kilometers per hour.

I modified it in several places.

Lower drag,

better handling,

lighter body,

and its exhaust...

Sharing something you love with someone who doesn't appreciate it

really is a lonely kind of humiliation.

The client has new requests again.

She wants a welcome camera at the entrance.

So when her husband gets home,

it'll make a beep

and she can greet him at the door.

Which country is this woman from?

Who still greets their husband like that?

Sounds like its real use is to warn

her lover

to hide.

Just do what she wants.

Yeah.

Besides, having someone greet you when you get home sounds nice.

Mr. Yu, when you come home from work

and step into a dark place,

don't you feel lonely?

Of course.

Yeah.

Why would I be?

I've got this one with me,

and this one,

and plenty more of these with me.

Shameless.

You're hopeless.

Good evening.

Buying dog food?

Why not get it delivered?

Delivery fees are ridiculous.

The food itself is already expensive.

I'm practically broke.

You might as well have a baby.

At least kids can pay you back when they grow up.

Meanwhile,

your dog will only spend your money.

My dog's my family.

It's the way Dao waits at home

for me to come back...

Mr. Yu, you wouldn't understand.

Waiting for their owner to return

and feed them is a basic mammal instinct, you know?

Good night.

Why's the elevator broken again?

I'm definitely filing a complaint.

Good thing you're here, Mr. Yu. Thanks.

I should've minded my own business.

What's inside this thing?

Don't shake it.

This is much better than your dog.

Doesn't need food, won't pee everywhere,

and it runs fast.

I can't guess.

What is it?

I'll bet you can't.

Bye.

It's only two more steps.

You should see it through.

Please open the door.

Dao!

Missed me?

Come here.

I bought you lots of treats.

Hey, quiet down!

Mr. Yu,

when you get home...

And hear that little beep.

Isn't it nice to have someone waiting for you?

(My... my stomach...)

(Why does it suddenly hurt this much?)

(It hurts so much I can't speak.)

(I'm dying.)

(Mr. Yu, help me!)

It hurts!

What... what are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

It hurts...

Did you eat dog food?

You've got appendicitis.

It's not that serious though.

A minimally invasive surgery,

and you should be able to eat normally in a day or two.

What about my hand?

Well, I looked at your report.

It's probably a minor fracture.

But I'll have an orthopedic doctor take a look.

Okay.

Mr. Yu is brutal.

From what I can remember,

he crushed it twice with his heel

like he was putting out a cigarette.

He's unbelievable.

It's Qing. I'll put her on speaker.

Hello?

Xiaoman.

Are you feeling any better?

I'll take leave this afternoon and visit you.

I'm fine.

Um,

can you check on Dao for me?

I'm really worried about it.

Sure, I can do that.

And I might need to stay in the hospital for a week.

Can you take care of it for a few days?

That's not possible.

My landlord won't allow it.

And my roommate, you know her.

She definitely won't allow it.

Okay, I'll think of something.

Get some rest.

Why're you staring at me?

I work night shifts every day.

I don't have time to look after Dao.

I know.

Being a doctor is tough.

Xiaoman, how are you?

I heard Mr. Yu crushed your hand.

Don't exaggerate.

It's not crushed, just fractured.

It must hurt a lot.

Mr. Yu made ribs for you so you can get more calcium.

I'm having surgery.

I can't eat anything.

So what now?

Have you eaten, Dr. Gu?

No.

Then why don't we eat it?

Seems a waste to throw it away.

Xiaoman, remember to appreciate Mr. Yu's kindness.

People these days

can be so cold.

(Yu Yu Design Studio)

Mr. Yu.

What's this?

A dog.

No kidding.

I even know its name is Dao.

Xia Xiaoman's in the hospital.

She asked me to look after it for a few days.

We don't need dogs here.

I'm giving you half a day off. Take it home.

Seriously, Mr. Yu?

What if he makes a mess?

And it whines all the time.

It's not noisy. It's adorable.

Adorable?

Such a weird-looking animal.

Left paw.

Right paw.

Good boy.

Here you go.

Open wide.

Xia Xiaoman trusts you a lot.

This dog is like her kid.

She trusts you enough to put it in your care.

And you didn't even ask if I'd be okay with it.

Do you like it that much?

Who, the dog or Xia Xiaoman?

Aren't you two best friends already?

Which is why

she should've asked me.

Why'd she ask you?

I happened to visit her in the hospital.

You went to the hospital?

Even Qing and I haven't gone yet.

You were the first.

Mr. Yu told me to go.

Mr. Yu.

It's always Mr. Yu.

What is it this time?

Nothing.

So...

Can I keep it?

Sure.

Good evening.

What's the dog doing here?

Thanks to it, Xiaoxiao isn't smiling anymore.

She made you choose

between her and the dog,

and you chose the woman.

I chose peace.

Mr. Yu, I'm begging you.

Take it for two days.

Heh.

- You... - Let go.

Please.

Just a few days, Mr. Yu.

No. Let go.

I'm not letting go.

Let go!

Hey.

Just help him for two days.

Why're you here?

I'm here to get Xiaoman a change of clothes.

Xiaoxiao, you're here too.

Xiaoxiao!

You can take the dog to a pet hospital.

Where are we supposed to find one this late?

Can't you just look after it for a few days?

Not even a second.

Fine.

Then don't come to me for medical help anymore.

Then I'll go to the pet hospital.

Wu, ignore him.

We're leaving.

Go to the pet hospital all you want.

Dr. Gu,

got any ideas?

Humans are one thing,

but I'm trying to figure out why this guy won't even

let a dog into his place.

Dr. Gu, stop complaining about Mr. Yu.

He's not the point right now.

The problem is the dog.

Yeah.

What about the dog?

What about me?

Who's flashing that light?

Mr. Yu.

Why're you here?

Five days, and five days only.

So you do have a heart.

Mr. Yu,

you're not worried Dr. Gu will ignore you, are you?

Of course not.

This is compassion.

I'm showing compassion for you guys.

Whatever you say. Thanks for saving my life.

- Come on, Dao. - Go on.

Come on. Down.

Inside here is its dog food

and its toys.

Do you know how to take care of a dog?

You must be hungry.

(How much should a pug eat each meal?)

(Young puppies eat around 50-70 grams a day.)

(Older puppies and adult pugs need about 80 grams a day.)

I'll get you some food.

A good meal starts with the right bowl.

Go on, eat.

Eat.

I know you're annoyed that I tied you up,

but I have to.

There are lots of things in my place you can't touch.

Like my speakers,

my records, and my models.

None of them is for you, got it?

Suit yourself.

A hunger strike isn't going to work.

Eat or don't.

Look at me. I'm enjoying my dinner.

If you keep refusing, I'll throw away your food.

If you keep refusing, I'll throw you out too.

You hear me?

We'll get you to the operating room now.

Xiaoman.

Dr. Gu, why're you here?

I was worried you'd be nervous.

I am a bit.

Can I make a call first?

Sure. Who're you calling?

Shen Wu. I'm worried about Dao.

Then maybe don't call.

Why?

Dao's with Mr. Yu.

What? Why with him?

Don't worry.

Mr. Yu will take good care of Dao.

No. I'm not doing the surgery.

Take her to the operating room.

Dr. Gu, I need to save Dao!

I need to save Dao!

Just accept your fate. Be good.

The client is here.

Please come in, Mr. Li.

- Hello. - Please have a seat.

Hello.

Mr. Li, should we pick up from the budget?

I've thought about increasing the budget.

Don't.

Please carry on.

I want to add another 50,000.

No.

Maybe

eighty thousand?

Dao, come out!

Dao!

Hello?

Mr. Yu, how is Dao?

Your Dao has no manners at all.

Can you turn on the video so I can see it?

No.

Why?

Because I ate it.

What are you doing?

Why are you scaring Xiaoman?

Don't worry.

Mr. Yu won't eat Dao.

But what if he does? He's so greedy and loves meat.

Why is this person so annoying?

You really have no problem?

Since you're so rarely asking me for help,

of course I won't refuse.

Besides, it affects whether you can work with peace of mind.

Right?

Okay then, I'll leave it to you.

Don't worry.

Dao.

Good boy.

Cute Dao.

This dog's name is Dao, and I'm the one called Dao, okay?

Of course, I know that.

Right, Dao?

Didn't you just say that your allergy to dog hair

had been cured?

I'm allergic to pollen.

Where are the flowers this season?

Never mind.

Give it to me, hurry.

Forget it.

- Give it to me. - Let go.

I can really do it.

Go.

Dao.

Dao, go home with me.

I will take care of you.

Is Dao cute?

Cute.

Then I'll bring it over to play with you for a few days, okay?

Okay, I want to play with Dao.

Okay.

Eh, no.

I'm allergic to dog fur.

I'll sneeze and get rashes.

No, I want to play with Dao.

Yeah, she wants to play.

You'll get used to it. Don't worry.

What do you mean she'll get used to it?

Allergies are allergies.

People these days are unbelievable.

Don't get married when they should,

and just raise a dog.

We're not learning from her.

Never wanted to.

Mom, look, the dog is making trouble in my home.

How am I supposed to live here?

Impossible to live.

If not, let me take care of it for a few days.

Fine, have you ever raised a dog?

I raised you.

Then it's settled.

Come with me later to pick it up.

What do you mean settled?

I have conditions.

What conditions?

Treat Yejia to a meal.

Then you plan to spy on us, right?

Wrong, I'm going to watch openly.

All three of us will eat together.

Forget it.

Grandma, I want to raise Dao.

Your mom is allergic.

If we keep it, your mom's body will get itchy.

Do you want your mom to be itchy?

Yes.

Yu, Mom.

Where are you going?

We're heading back.

You're going home?

- Leaving. - We're leaving.

Okay, Mom.

Mom, aren't you staying a few more days?

See? See how popular I am?

I'll go home and get some more clothes.

Then come stay for more days.

We're leaving.

She'll stay for more days.

Really. I am getting old.

It's raining today.

How did I remember it as tomorrow?

All because you insisted on taking the subway.

Why not take a taxi?

Mom, the dog is acting up at home again.

Be a bit frugal.

Alright, I'll listen to you.

You insisted on keeping it.

What are you doing?

Why are you here?

I'm getting pants for Xiaoman.

I don't have her pants here.

Might as well bring some food.

I'm not eating.

It's for the dog.

Let's discuss this.

Otherwise, I'll just take Dao away.

I think with my hospital colleagues,

we can manage it in shifts for a few days.

Not now.

Or let me check on it.

I'll take some photos.

I'll send videos to Xiaoman.

Don't try to go in.

Then let it out.

It can't come out.

Why?

Because I'm performing a dissection on it.

I...

Let me in. Open the door.

Hey, honey.

I'm walking Mimi.

She's doing well. Very obedient.

She really likes playing with other puppies.

Are you scared of it?

Don't be. Bite it.

- Bite it, go. - Alright.

So timid.

It's fine.

I've run into a lunatic.

It ran!

Mimi!

Mimi!

Dao, I'm back.

What are you doing?

Dao.

You...

Go away.

What's wrong with you?

Didn't I tell you not to touch my stuff?

Go downstairs.

Hey, where do you live?

Here.

Why did you suddenly send Dao to me?

It broke my trophy,

and also ruined my RC car.

It's a dog.

How can you argue with a dog?

I know it's a dog.

But I'm also a victim.

Both dogs and humans make mistakes.

You have to learn to forgive.

Do you know? I won that trophy

by beating 23 opponents.

All the screws on my car are titanium alloy,

and tested in a wind tunnel.

Are you going to stand there

and say everything you want to say?

You want me to go in?

Of course.

Do you think I'm as rude as you?

Forget it. Goodbye.

Hey, what's wrong?

Feed 80 grams of dog food.

Got it.

Use clean water when washing its paws.

Steak medium rare.

No black pepper sauce.

That's for peasants.

Anything else to say?

It's afraid of big dogs.

(Gu Yejia)

Hey.

Mr. Yu.

Dao is digging in the trash. What should I do?

Bear with it.

Isn't there another way?

Humans and dogs both make mistakes.

- Alright. - You have to learn to be tolerant.

Okay.

Better to send it away after all.

Ou Yang posted another video.

What is he showing off this time?

Look.

(It's nice to have someone welcome you home.)

Plus fine wine and beautiful women?

Who would welcome him?

He has three beautiful women.

Dating without the intention of marriage is just messing around.

I actually hope someone welcomes me home.

Xiaoxiao gets off work later than me, yet I'm the one welcoming her.

I need to learn from you.

That mindset of opening the door to an empty home without caring.

Get lost.

Alright.

Mr. Yu.

You're here too.

Sit.

Same as usual?

Yes.

I heard you recently got a dog.

I especially bought a dog collar for you in Paris.

Do you like it?

I really like this brand.

Very thoughtful, thank you.

You must treat your dog well.

Because dogs are humanity's best friends.

You're right.

Mr. Yu, do you have a dog?

No.

Dao, slow down.

Dao, slow down. I can't keep up.

Dao.

Dao!

Dao, slow down.

Dao, wait.

I need water, Dao.

Come, I'm dying of thirst.

Dao, don't move.

Wait for me. I'll be right there.

Hey.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

I mean the dog.

The dog ate too.

How much dog food?

A big handful, I guess.

You're walking the dog now, right?

Yes.

Here's some advice.

Don't let it lead you.

You need to be in control, understand?

It doesn't listen to me.

Negotiate with it.

Negotiate with a dog?

It's Dao.

Alright, I'll negotiate with it.

Dao...

Dao.

Dao is gone.

What? You...

Did you tie it nearby just now?

Yes.

It can pull itself free.

I'm done talking to you. I went looking for Dao.

Dao.

- Hey. - Dao.

So dumb.

Dao.

Let's go, Sir.

Dao.

Dao.

Sir, please hurry.

Okay.

Dao!

Dao!

Dao.

Mr. Yu.

Where's Dao?

Is that Dao over there?

What?
