(Episode 5, Just Charge Forward, The Bully Has Your Back)

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Chi.

Have a seat.

Come on. Have a seat, Yue Yue.

Sit here.

Mrs. Chi.

The anti-aging effect of this skincare product is amazing.

You're so thoughtful, Yue Yue.

Mr. Chi, I specifically asked Chi Cheng.

He said you love this tea.

You're too kind.

Yue Yue.

Chi Cheng has an older sister who's abroad.

When she comes back, I'll introduce you to her.

That's great. I'm looking forward to it.

Look at this girl.

She's pretty and has a good personality.

- Right? - Yes.

The more I see her, the more I like her.

Chi Cheng.

Be good to her.

I won them over so easily.

Yue Yue, come visit us more often.

You have no idea how nervous I was to meet your parents today.

I didn't expect them to be so approachable.

When are we going to see my parents?

We'll see.

I'll have the driver take you home.

Ms. Yue, this way.

Mr. Chi.

I still haven't heard any news about your snakes lately.

Do I look scary?

I don't think so.

What's up? Why are you suddenly asking that?

I feel like someone is afraid to get close to me.

Is Ms. Yue afraid of you...

and won't let you touch her?

It has nothing to do with her.

Wait. Why are you still worrying about this kind of thing?

Just force yourself on him.

If I can bear to force myself on him,

why would I bother asking you?

The way I see it,

there are only two possibilities.

Either he's too pure...

or...

he's suspicious.

- Take your medicines on time. - Dr. Jiang.

Young Master Guo finished the medicine you prescribed last month.

He asked me to get some more.

Every pharmacy has that medicine.

You didn't have to come all the way here.

I'm mainly here to give you the dessert.

I'll get the medicine.

Why didn't he come himself?

I thought you didn't want to see him.

He harasses me when I don't want to see him.

When I want to gossip with him, he goes invisible.

All right.

Here's the medicine.

Pay for this.

And take this back.

What a shame.

Then I can only...

throw it away.

No, don't.

Don't waste it.

I can give this to children.

Right?

By the way, Young Master Guo asked me to remind you...

to be extra careful of Chi Cheng.

Be careful of Chi Cheng?

Why?

The grudge between Chi Cheng and Young Master Guo...

has a long history.

What do you mean?

I'm busy today. Let's talk in detail another day.

Finish what you were saying.

Ms. Li, don't sulk.

This is the third time you've been to the hospital.

If anything happens in the future, communicate with your child more.

Thank you, doctor.

Ms. Zhang.

This index is a bit high.

Don't do too much farming when you get home.

And for your wound, don't get it wet after you get home.

Okay. Thank you.

Stop staying here.

I don't know where he is.

It's twelve o'clock.

It's twelve o'clock. Why are you still here?

Dr. Jiang.

If I sleep with you starting this moment,

before Wu Suo Wei returns,

can we finish?

He went home.

Thank you.

What's this?

Excuse me.

- Does Wu Suo Wei live here? - Yes.

May I ask who you are?

Hello, Mrs. Wu. I'm his colleague.

My name is Chi Cheng. You can just call me Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi, come on. Let's go inside.

Da Qiong has been sick for a week.

He's been in bed the whole time.

He hasn't left the house since he came back.

Wu Suo Wei.

Are you secretly learning something new?

What do you want?

Let's practice it.

Come on.

I accidentally clicked on it.

What are you doing?

Besides, why are you here?

To visit you.

You're sick.

Mrs. Wu said you haven't been out of bed for days.

Don't come near me!

Da Qiong!

The food is almost ready. Come out and eat.

Is it ready? I'm coming down now.

Mom.

Why did you make so much food?

We have a guest.

Mrs. Wu, let me help you.

No need, it's so greasy.

It'll be ready soon. Da Qiong, bring Xiao Chi inside.

Okay.

Mrs. Wu.

It's really fine.

This was you when you were little?

Yes.

You don't say.

You looked quite cute...

wearing open-crotch pants.

Is this your dad?

Yes.

He's been gone for 16 years.

Mrs. Wu took care of you alone for 16 years.

It must have been hard.

My mom...

has been cautious all her life.

That's why I want to make a lot of money.

I want to be filial to her.

But in my three business ventures,

I was defeated by the same bully.

Don't worry.

From now on, just charge forward.

The bully has your back.

It seems that actually,

he can be quite easy on the eyes sometimes.

Come on. Let's eat.

Xiao Chi, come on.

Don't be shy.

Chi Chi, this is braised pork.

Thank you, Mrs. Wu.

Try it. Is it good?

It's delicious, Mrs. Wu.

You're such a good cook.

Right?

Eat more if it's good.

Da Qiong, get Xiao Chi some rice.

What are you waiting for?

I...

- Thank you for your hard work. - You...

Mrs. Wu, you made so much food.

Thank you.

- All right. - I'll get some for you.

You should eat more too.

- Okay. - You're so skinny.

- Thank you. - Xiao Chi.

Here.

Have some.

I made this rice wine.

It's not worth much.

- Don't complain about it. - You're putting on a show.

What exactly do you want?

It's handmade. Others can't even drink it if they want to.

Awesome.

Xiao Chi, eat more meat.

Mrs. Wu.

You don't eat meat?

My mom has high blood lipids.

She can't eat a lot of food that's high in cholesterol.

Young people like you should eat more meat.

Okay.

Xiao Chi, I see that you like it.

I made a jar of it here. Take it with you tomorrow.

Okay.

Tomorrow?

What's the big deal?

It's already dark.

We can't let Xiao Chi travel home at night.

Besides, the air in the countryside is fresh.

Tomorrow, let Da Qiong tour you around.

Mom.

Mrs. Wu.

Won't I...

disturb you guys too much this way?

No, you're not.

I'm just afraid you'd feel aggrieved here.

Tonight, just squeeze in with Da Qiong.

- That's completely fine. - Mom.

I don't feel aggrieved at all.

I take back what I said about him being easy on the eyes.

Give him some food.

Eat.

Hey, your shorts are too small.

- Whose fault is that? - It's tight on the crotch.

They're from my childhood.

Let's sleep.

Tonight, I'll sleep here.

You sleep over there.

Is this how you treat your guest?

What?

Are you throwing a fit?

Mrs. Wu!

I'm warning you.

Don't speak nonsense.

Fine.

You win.

You sleep here.

I'll sleep here.

Is it hard?

Come up here.

I'm warning you, don't mess around.

All you do is watch GVs.

What are you thinking?

I'm asking you if the floor is hard.

It's quite hard.

What are you doing?

- Get up there. - All right.

Where are we going?

I'll take you somewhere fun.

Can you manage?

Do you know how to ride a bike or not?

Hop on.

All right.

Fan me.

Did you bring me here to sleep with you in public?

Get lost. Who's sleeping in public with you?

Shut up. Stop talking.

Fan harder.

- How much farther? - Go straight further.

A little further. We're here.

Yes. This is it.

Get off.

Come on.

Come here. This is it.

Bring it home later to give Green-Eyed Monster new food.

What era are we in?

You're still catching sparrows in an old-fashioned way?

What do you know?

Sparrows in crop fields are dumber than those in the city.

They don't avoid people.

Listen. I have a nest of stupid sparrows at home...

that fly up the chimney every day.

It doesn't know it's empty inside...

and lands on my bed.

You keep snakes too.

You must have a lot of ways to catch birds.

This is the way.

- Darn it. - Open it.

It's quite stupid indeed.

Why do I feel like he's talking about me?

Look.

This is my family's cornfield.

Yes, it's quite big.

Don't look over there. That's not ours yet.

By the way, let me tell you.

This is my family's spring maize.

Spring maize can be picked and cooked after some time.

You can also eat it now.

But it's not too ripe yet.

It's very sweet. Try it.

What are you doing?

Your mom doesn't know that you quit yet, right?

Don't you dare say a word.

If you dare not let me kiss you,

I'll tell her everything.

One, two, three.

Did you send Xiao Chi off?

Yes, Mom.

Who sent these?

As soon as Xiao Chi left, he asked people to send so many gifts.

He said it was his first time here...

and he felt embarrassed to come empty-handed.

This kid is so thoughtful.

He gave me so many gifts.

Da Qiong.

From now on, don't hang out with Xiao Chi much.

What's wrong, Mom?

Didn't you just say he's quite nice?

I think he's too nice.

That's why I said that.

Think about it, if you're with him,

who will see you and fall for you?

Mom.

You're really my mom.

Xiao Shuai.

How's your recovery?

What do you think?

I'm going back to my room.

Okay.

Xiao Shuai.

Where are my sugar figures?

Mr. Macho took it.

Chi Cheng?

Why did he take my sugar figures?

He did it on purpose.

If he took your sugar figures,

you have no choice but to go to him.

Darn it.

Why did you take my candy figures?

At least not take all of them.

You should at least leave a few for me. Right?

I gave them to my girlfriend.

Xiao Shuai, prepare a nice outfit for me.

The more handsome, the better.

I'm going to kidnap Chi Cheng tomorrow.

If I don't charm him to death,

I'm not a Wu anymore!

Here he comes.

I'll mesmerize you to death.

Chi Cheng.

Put me down.

Will you die if you don't show off?

Let me down.

- My head hurts. - Well, you kept bumping your head.

You brought me food again.

It's not for you.

My mom made it for me.

(Yue Yue)

Hey.

Hey, Chi Cheng.

Are you tired from playing basketball?

I'll come to you later.

- My head. - Hello?

Goodness, my head hurts.

Let's go to that Japanese restaurant later.

Okay?

- Chi Cheng. - Hey.

Chi Cheng.

I feel even dizzier now.

I'm so dizzy.

That's weird. What's going on?

It suddenly doesn't hurt anymore.

Don't go.

I don't know why these are entangled.

These pants cost tens of thousands of yuan.

I've seen scammers,

but none of them are like you.

Let's go together then.

Let's just get tied up like this.

I'm hungry.

My girlfriend...

I'll treat you to a meal.

What will we eat?

(Spicy, garlic, spicy sweet-sour, sweet and sour, spicy and sour)

Let me tell you. This place is really good.

Here you go.

- Here's what you ordered. - It's here.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Is this your friend?

Yes, he's my friend, Ding Ding.

I'm your friend?

Enjoy.

I'm your friend?

No.

- No. - I want a cola.

- Get it yourself. There's ice. - Here you go.

Get what you want to drink yourself.

- Go. - You're so darn stingy.

Fill it up.

I don't eat chili.

It's better with chili.

It's true. Trust me.

Try it.

Mix it first.

It's not about being sloppy or not.

I just don't like how poor you are.

My friends are using designer bags and eating fancy food.

But with you,

I only eat ramen and spicy hot pot every day.

Have you ever treated me to a good meal?

It's pretty good.

Eating...

Eating ice eases the spiciness.

Why aren't you eating?

It's too hot.

I need to cool down.

Put it down.

It's too hot.

I freaking told you to put it down. Don't you hear me?

I feel hot.

You feel hot?

I'll cool you down.

What are you doing?

You like to expose yourself, right?

- Let go. - You're in low-rise pants, right?

You want to seduce me, right?

Don't touch me.

I'm warning you.

These pants cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Tens of thousands?

Why don't you cut the legs off...

and sell them to treat me to a nice meal?

You just dislike me for being poor...

and stingy.

If I really dislike you for being poor and stingy,

how could you lure me here with those two lousy strings?

No.

You keep seducing me, but you won't let me touch you.

What exactly do you want?

The timing is perfect.

You're not my boyfriend.

Why should I let you touch me?

This time, he'll break up with Yue Yue.

Da Bao.

Stay at my place tonight.

If you don't break up with her,

I'm not going.

I'm not going.

Indeed.

Playboys are the most heartless.

He's not content with his girlfriend and desires someone else.

Yue Yue is blind too.

Both of you are blind.

(Jiang Xiao Shuai)

Why are you here?

He even blocked you.

Why didn't he block me too?

You can see his WeChat Moments?

Two days ago, he posted,

asking where the mousse was bought.

"Guys, who can tell me where the mousse is from?"

Why don't you leave a comment?

By the way, you asked me to investigate Wu Suo Wei last time.

I got the result.

He's actually straight.

He just broke up with his girlfriend of three years this year.

I knew it.

What's more shocking...

is that his ex-girlfriend is Yue Yue.

What did you say?

Wu Suo Wei's ex-girlfriend...

is Chi Cheng's current girlfriend.

In other words,

Wu Suo Wei is fighting with his ex-girlfriend...

for a guy.

That's possible.

Maybe Wu Suo Wei sees how well his ex-girlfriend is doing,

so he wants a share too?

If that's the case, that would be great.

I'm afraid he has an ulterior motive.

Chi Cheng.

I can't believe...

you're being set up again.

Should we tell him to provoke him? What do you think?

Don't tell him yet.

Listen. It'll be more fun...

to wait for him to fall for him...

before exposing it.

That's what'll make it interesting.

He's quite cute.

He deleted the post again.

If the timing of your investigation...

is correct,

did Wu Suo Wei and Jiang Xiao Shuai...

meet after Wu Suo Wei's breakup?

That makes sense.

So they're teaming up...

to take revenge on each of their scumbag exes.

Each?

The last time I went to the clinic,

I heard Jiang Xiao Shuai left his hometown...

to open a clinic here...

to escape from heartbreak from his ex.

Heartbreak?

This matter...

is getting more and more interesting.

You keep seducing me, but you won't let me touch you.

What exactly do you want?

You're not my boyfriend.

Why should I let you touch me?

What a pervert.

Are you asleep?

I'm about to sleep. What about you?

I'm about to make love.

Hey.

If you're about to make love, why are you messaging me?

I want you to cheer me on.

Okay. No problem.

Listen up, pretty lady.

Your boyfriend is not a good guy.

He likes both girls and boys.

Even rogues run away when they see him.

This is so satisfying.

Dr. Jiang.

Have you eaten?

Dr. Jiang.

Are you off work?

(Jiang Xiao Shuai)

Dr. Jiang.

Do you miss me?

Dr. Jiang.

Are you done for the day?

No.

These messages are too common.

I need to think of something interesting.

(Media)

(Message retracted)

Later, you'll be dying of curiosity...

on what message I retracted.

Chi Cheng.

You're out.

- Yue Yue. - Are you tired from work?

No.

You must be hungry. Let's go and eat.

She's ruining my plan.

I'll go and get something.

I'll go with you.

I guess...

I need to go big.

He has strong willpower.

He's not replying yet.

What's wrong?

You're even smoking.

I'm fine.

Let me see the car.

Lately, I've been planning to sell the snakes...

to buy a used car.

When did you buy this car?

How much was it?

I bought it last year.

It's not expensive.

Will you sell it for 50,000 Hong Kong dollars?

I'll sell it if I get you too.

Let me try riding in it.

It's not like you haven't ridden it before.

Stop pretending.

Get in.

What do you think?

It's a nice car.

I'll give you a ride home.

It's okay.

I can book a ride.

Bye.

Stop me.

I'm about to give my girlfriend a ride.

Bye.

Fine, you win.

Perfect.

I'm thirsty. Do you have water at home?

I have enough.

Let go. Don't you want your car anymore?

Not anymore.

Let go.

It hurts.

Let go.

- Don't you want water? - Let go.

It hurts.

Wait. What...

What are you doing?

(Yue Yue)

If you won't let me answer her call,

you don't have to break my phone.

Are you worried about your phone...

or her?

You're so stubborn.

I'll spank you...

as I go.

If I don't spank or hit you,

you'll be so arrogant.

(Bonus Clip)

His body looks quite nice.

(Photo saved to album)

(Message retracted)

Why did you retract it?

No.

I see.

So you're seducing me on purpose...

to reply to you.

Don't fall for it.
