[Book of Recipes]

Boss, two bowls of duck noodles, please.

Okay, wait a moment.

- Boss, two pairs of chopsticks, please. - Okay, okay.

What do you keep looking at, Sister?

Nothing.

Are you waiting for the green apple boy?

Shut up!

- What are you doing? - N-Nothing.

I don't want your things.

Don't follow me anymore or I'll tell my big brother.

Simei, let's go!

Let's go.

I'm hungry, Sister.

It wasn't easy to get in line.

Didn't Big Brother already prepare lunch? We won't die from eating one less meal.

Then we especially wouldn't have died if we had accepted the hawthorn.

What do you know?

Although Wang Xuanen isn't handsome, he's not bad looking.

He can write romantic poems too. How touching.

More importantly, look how dedicated he is to you.

That's not dedication. He's a pervert with ulterior motives.

You thought that giving you things to eat, toys, pretty things,

means they like you?

Don't act like I didn't already remind you. Have some self-consciousness.

At least, he means well.

He is just as bad as anyone else.

Sister, you are so cold.

You're even more strict than Big Brother.

If Big Brother were to know about it,

- he would definitely— - You can't tell Big Brother.

Why?

Didn't you just tell him that you might tell Big Brother and he'd take care of him?

Is Big Brother coming home today?

I don't know. How many weeks has it been?

- Big Brother! - Yes.

Our young master has come home.

This house welcomes him.

You're really a college student now, showing off.

Time to eat!

- Big Brother, you're back? - Yes.

Hurry up, you two eat first.

Chopsticks.

Here.

Who made it?

I made it.

Is it tasty?

Tastes like Mom's.

There's also a hard-to-describe difference to it.

What do you mean it's different? As long as it keeps you full.

Big Brother, when Second Brother comes home after work,

he always cooks in the kitchen late.

- You're working? - Yes.

Dad found it for me.

I don't have any great skills, but I do have a few things up my sleeve.

Look at your second auntie's family. Xiao Yi took his father's position.

What a happy child.

What? I can find a job for my son, too.

What job? How's it going?

A lathe operator. It's comfortable and not tiring.

Master is also good to me.

I‘m telling you. Everything is difficult at the beginning.

No matter how difficult it is, you need to persevere.

Learn well from your master and don't let them down.

Okay.

Is he going to gamble again?

I don't know. Either way, he still has a few friends.

So hard to get the whole family to eat together.

Forget about him. He's just like that.

What about you? You haven't been making trouble, right?

Everything was just fine, why'd you ask that?

That's because you give me the most to worry about.

Why am I not saying anything to Sanli?

Big Brother, you really need to take good care of my sister.

What's wrong Sanli?

Second Brother, what is this?

It looks like duck feathers.

It's not a reed, is it?

I made a big bone carrot soup. Where did the duck feather come from?

- Qiao Simei! - Second Brother.

Where did that thing come from? It's floating around everywhere in the room.

You don't think it's refined, unique, and elegant?

Qiao Simei, don't be cheeky.

You're all so tacky and don't know about the mood at all!

You're so sore about it.

Why is your hair a mess?

Can't you be more like your older sister?

Braid your hair and make it neat. Can't you?

Wearing my hair down is a style that you don't understand.

Only you know.

Your top and skirt are two different shades of white. It doesn't match at all.

I'm not like you. You wear something that looks like a dried vegetable around your neck.

I only wear it when I cook.

I don't usually wear it around.

Really, Second Brother.

You do wear cleaner clothes than before.

Plus, you know how to dress now.

Look at him. Look! He's blushing.

Simei, it's none of your business.

- What did I do now? - You're great.

I am.

If the situation wasn't that serious, I wouldn't have asked you to come.

Teacher, what happened?

Here, come this way. Look at that boy.

He's infamous.

He's been held back for two years now.

He's attractive and all the girls like him.

Lately, Qiao Simei has been very close with him.

There's something even worse.

Take a look.

This is what Simei was read during class. I confiscated it.

I don't know how much Simei has read already.

But this stuff is poisonous.

I-I didn't read it. I found it yesterday and put it in the classroom.

Be quiet!

Come in.

This is Simei's.

A pair of eyes shine cold stars.

The two curved eyebrows are like a painting.

The natural charm is all at the tip of the eyebrows.

What a bunch of garbage! It's all over the place!

Is this talking about you?

It's about Wu Song!

Qiao Simei, your studies are a mess.

But you learn this pretty fast!

I'm warning you! Cut it off with that guy immediately.

I'll continue to keep an eye on you.

Don't you dare try to play any tricks!

I don't need to learn this.

That boy isn't as bad as they say he is.

Okay.

Then that book, the book of... whatever... heart!

How much have you read? Don't you feel ashamed?

- I didn't read it. - You're lying!

Your teacher said she confiscated it from your drawer, and you're still denying it!

I really didn't read it.

Brother Wei gave it to me.

I... I hadn't opened it yet.

Okay, you're still saying Brother Wei.

Qiao Simei, listen. Do you hear it?

Hear what?

The sound of white hair coming out of your big brother's head!

From tomorrow onward, every day at lunch I'll take you to our cafeteria to eat!

After you eat, I'll send you back to school.

After you come home, you'll wait at the school gate!

I'll pick you up!

Big Brother, your college and my school are miles away from each other.

So what?

I'll be watching you 24/7!

♫ The people down below are incredibly ambitious ♫

♫ Running despite the wind and rain ♫

♫ Dancing happily with a smirk. Just wait and see ♫

♫ Nobody can stop the spirit of young people ♫

♫ Wildfires burn in dissatisfied eyes ♫

Keep walking.

♫ Wild birds are barefoot under the scorching sun ♫

♫ Humming proudly despite hardship ♫

♫ I can’t fail youth ♫

♫ Even if I’m insignificant, I have to jump high ♫

What's wrong?

Brother Min.

Tell me. Isn't love just like a reed?

Weak and disappears easily.

I'm not sure if love will disappear or not,

but if you bury that reed, it'll disappear very quickly.

My love is just like this reed.

Scattered in the mud and crushed to dust.

Your big brother told me you were struggling with literature.

It seems he was lying to me.

If love were like an everlasting flower that never wilts,

how nice would that be?

These reeds were going to fall anyway.

That's because they were already dried.

That's true. Not only did my love wither,

but it also dried up.

Since you're so sad,

then... how about I give you a set

of "Yesterday's Glitter" postcards, okay?

The latest "Yesterday's Glitter" postcard?

Brother Min, you're so nice to me!

I wish Big Brother were like you, then that'd be good.

He also treats you very well.

He treats me as if I were a prisoner.

In order to keep me under control, he's applied to a day school.

I'm also doing day school. It's about time I get home.

Brother Min.

I almost forgot.

Catch!

What's this?

That Qi Weimin! I'll deal with you later!

Big Brother, I...

How old are you already?

Still playing with mud? So dirty, go inside!

Fifth time.

What?

This is your fifth time sighing today.

Can you focus a bit more?

Now's the time for you to sigh once more.

Look over these problems again.

Previously, it's not that you didn't have time to sigh,

but it's because nothing made you sigh. Right?

With your attitude towards learning—

Did you fall in love at school?

No.

You're so stupid, you can't even lie.

I'm serious.

Last time, you said you couldn't tutor me, because something happened at school.

I asked my uncle. There's nothing wrong at school.

Recently, you've been moaning and groaning like your soul's uneasy.

If you didn't fall in love...

then you must have had your heart broken.

No.

It's my younger sister.

My biological sister.

She got into a minor conflict with her classmate.

However, it's fine now.

Sicheng.

A minor conflict can cause you to sigh?

Actually... she's been having thoughts of early love.

Thankfully, I found out ahead of time.

I'm worried her classmates and teachers will see her in some way

and leave a bad impression.

I'm also worried that in the future,

she'll suffer a big loss emotionally.

Why must you worry about the future?

Then, let me ask you.

Why does everyone call it "early love"?

Then... is there also a "perfectly timed love"

or "late love"?

It's not called "late love".

It's called... "twilight love".

Falling in love is falling in love.

There's no timing to liking a person.

Sometimes... the person you met isn't the right one.

Sometimes, the timing is wrong.

If at the right timing,

you could meet the right person,

how great would that be?

- Brother Yicheng. - Yeah?

Have you ever fallen in love?

Have you, well, ever met the right person at the right time?

I haven't.

Tomorrow's my birthday.

Come eat dinner with me at my house, okay?

Isn't that the girl who likes Cheng Wei?

- The one called Simei. - Student, can you tell Cheng Wei to come out?

Oh my god!

Hey, Cheng Wei.

Oh my god, that's so embarrassing!

Come with me.

Say something.

Don't be like this.

My mom told me.

S-She won't let me talk to you anymore.

Or else... she'll transfer me.

I don't want to transfer right before graduation.

S-Simei, we...

All right.

But... we can still be friends, right?

Qiao Simei.

Your teacher had a talk with me again today.

You went to find that repeat student again, right?

I did.

What?

Simei, people will talk badly about you!

Exactly.

Little girls love to discuss these topics, then nonsensical rumors will definitely spread. Got it, Simei?

As if boys won't spread rumors, too?

They're even worse than girls.

I'm not afraid at all! It's my business of who I like.

Not anyone else's. Not even Cheng Wei.

Furthermore, I don't like him anymore.

He's not manly at all.

He's like a preschooler,

such a coward.

In the future, I'll be sure to find someone manly and strong.

Also, more importantly, someone better looking than Cheng Wei.

Both manly and good-looking.

Good looks can't feed you.

Of course, it can.

Seeing a good-looking person makes me feel like I just ate some delicious food. Puts me in a great mood!

Hey, Qiao Simei.

You're a young girl and you constantly say things like "like" and "love."

Aren't you embarassed?

What about it? Liking or loving someone isn't an insult.

Sister, what kind of lover will you look for in the future?

I don't want to find anyone, I'm going to stay single.

What a joke. How can you stay single?

Second Brother, how about you?

What?

Me? I—

I... I don't know.

I'm coming.

- Qing Hua. Teacher Xiao Qiao. - Sister.

Please come in.

Ju'an, look, your uncle and Teacher Xiao Qiao

both came to celebrate your birthday. Say hello.

Girls get more reserved the older they get.

The school released the scores today.

One of her subjects didn't meet the score requirement.

And she suddenly became like this.

What's wrong? Are you crying in front of them?

Ju'an, go wash your face. Today is your birthday.

It's not pretty like this.

Be good.

Teacher Xiao Qiao, hurry up and sit.

- Sit, sit. - Don't stand there!

I'll go get the birthday cake.

Stop crying, okay?

The cake is here!

Teacher Xiao Qiao, you're a guest. How could I ask for your help?

Thank you.

Okay, let's first light the candle.

Look! This birthday cake is so beautiful.

Ju'an, happy birthday.

This is my gift for you.

It's so pretty!

Ju'an, thank your uncle.

Here.

Thank you, Uncle.

Ju'an, I don't know what you like and exams are coming soon,

so I bought a new set of essay books for you.

Happy birthday.

Thank you, Teacher Qiao.

Ju'an, I also got you a birthday gift.

I hope you have a great birthday.

What's wrong? Don't you love to eat chocolate?

I bought this Italian chocolate from Hong Kong.

It's really hard to get!

Hurry, take it.

We've said so much, the candle is almost melted.

Since everyone is here,

make a wish, blow out the candle!

Not everyone is here yet. We're missing someone.

Ju'an, be good. Blow out the candle.

I said we're missing someone!

Ju'an.

I'm going to invite them over.

I think there's no need for that.

Ju'an.

That's what you think! You always make decisions for me.

You never let me think for myself!

Ju'an!

You decide what clothes look good on me, so I have to wear them.

You decide what hairstyle looks nice on me, so I have to keep it.

You think I should make a certain score, so I have to do whatever it takes to get that score!

You think I should love and hate certain things, so I must abide by that.

I don't want to!

I'm a human being.

I have thoughts. I'm not your doll!

Ju'an.

Let's talk about this later.

Today, your uncle and Teacher Xiao Qiao are both here to celebrate your birthday—

Am I wrong?

You do provide me with great living conditions.

You bought me the best birthday present.

But you've never given me what I want the most!

What are you going to do after you shower?

Walk around.

- Watch a movie or something. - What movie?

Where are you looking at?

Let's go, let's go.

You're here?

Liu Qiang, wait up!!

Liu Qiang, have you been here before?

Just follow me.

- Right here. - It's here, right?

- Hold onto the ladder, slowly. - You two have never seen anything like this right?

I'll show you some new things today.

How is it? Can you see?

- Say something! - What are you seeing?

Give me a newspaper.

Ju'an, why are you here?

What? I can't come and see you?

That's not it.

Or is it because you don't want to see me, Brother Yicheng?

It's not that either.

I... I'm just working right now. What did you need me for?

How about this, you work, and I'll wait for you here.

- After you finish, come with me somewhere. - Where?

Can I have a newspaper?

Thanks.

Hello, Student.

May I ask if you're in the Department of Foreign Languages?

Why do you ask that?

Because... the Department of Foreign Languages has the most pretty girls in it.

Are you here to attend class today? Today is Saturday.

Hello, I'd like the newest Popular Movies.

Did you come here alone?

Yes, I'm alone.

I don't want Health and Beauty. I want Popular Movies!

I can take you to look around.

Let me see.

I've been here for a long time.

Get me the change.

You can take it yourself.

There's a dance tonight.

I'd like to invite you to be my partner. Is that okay?

Well...

I already have plans tonight.

Who is it? I can invite them as well. We can go together.

How about that?

Thank you for the invite. How about next time?

Okay.

Sorry, sorry, I'm late. The teacher dragged class out.

Don't be late next time.

Okay.

Let's go.

I'll carry it.

- Erqiang, see you tomorrow. - Bye, Master Ma.

Erqiang, we're leaving.

Master Ma, I'm leaving.

Okay, bye.

Ma ling?

Master, what did you say?

We call this thing "ma ling." It's Manchurian.

"Ma ling."

How about it? University life is pretty good, right?

So you need to study hard. Fight to test into an even better university.

Then when you test into a university, your main goal should still be learning.

Even though interacting with your classmates and participating in activities are important,

doing too much of that kind of thing will take some of your energy for studying.

So...

So, what?

You should make studying the most important thing.

Where are you taking all this stuff?

To give to people.

Give to who?

Teacher Yicheng, you were the one who agreed to accompany me.

So, today, no matter where I go,

or what I do, you don't have to concern yourself with that.

You just need to keep me company and that'll do. Okay?

Okay.

Brother Yicheng, this is it.

You have so much stuff, I'll take it inside for you.

No need. I'll be back really quickly.

Just trust me, okay? Wait here for me.

Okay, then.

Take it away.

Let me go!

- You can't come here. - Let me go.

Get out!

- Get out. - Let her go!

Don't hit him! Don't hit him!

Don't hit him!

Don't hit him.

Don't hit him!

That's my father! My real father!

Dad.

Dad.

Brother Yicheng, I'm sorry.

I was too agitated back there.

Ju'an, I didn't know that he was your father.

I'm sorry.

My mom won't let me see my father.

The two of them got divorced.

But I didn't want my father to leave me.

We're a family. We should be together.

Brother Yicheng,

thank you for coming with me today.

You're back.

Are you hungry? I'll make you some wonton soup. I just finished wrapping them.

Second Brother, I want some too. I want two bowls.

You always eat so much.

There's enough. I wrapped a lot.

Thank you, Second Brother.

There's wonton soup?

Are you guys stealing food from your father behind my back?

I just finished rolling them. Look.

All you do every day is eat, eat, eat. Get a bowl for me too.

I'll help you.

I have two great brothers.

But sadly they're not as good-looking as Zhou Runfa. (Chow Yun-Fat, a Hong Kong TV and film star.)

I think Big Brother is really handsome.

And he's not short either.

His eyes aren't small either. And he looks good when he smiles.

But he always has a stern face.

And the worry lines on his face are too deep.

But... he'd be a little better looking with a mustache.

But Second Brother? He's not handsome either.

Sister, there's actually a guy in our family who's the most handsome.

In our family?

Who?

Xiao Qi.

Qiao Qiqi, how many times have we talked about these problems already?

You still can't do them. You still can't do them!

Class is over.

Class is over.

Class is over.

Get down!

Quiet down!

Who are you looking for?

It's not the New Year yet. I don't have any red envelope money for you.

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Chang.

I'm not Ms. Chang.

Ms. Chang is my older sister. She's giving a lesson upstairs.

She hates when being interrupted when she's giving a lesson.

Come in first.

Wait.

Leave this here.

Ms. Chang never accepts gifts from parents. That's her rule.

Leave it there. Remember to grab it when you leave.

A seat of book.

No. One book, right?

Sit.

Thank you.

Qiqi's dad. Qiqi really loves studying

and is very attentive.

He's just a bit timid and scared of strangers when he first got here.

Qiqi's dad, you have to keep encouraging Qiqi regularly.

I think you've misunderstood.

I'm not Qiqi's dad. I'm his older cousin.

I'm sorry. I was wondering why his dad was so young.

So you're his brother.

No worries. I thought you were someone else earlier as well.

Let me show you a drawing. Qiqi drew it.

This is you, right? It looks just like you.

Here, on the face.

I was shaving and accidentally...

accidentally became like...

Bye, Xiao Qi.

Bye, Older Sister.

Bye, Qi's Older Brother. I won't forget next time.

I won't forget either.

C-Classmate Chang.

I'm not Classmate Chang. My name is Chang Xinyu.

I'll remember. Bye.

Bye.

Let's go.

Wait a second!

Give this to me.

For me, Onegin's luxury,

the exaggeration of this boring life,

the admiration in my field of wealth,

these evening parties and this beautiful home,

what do they mean?

Poor Tatyana.

She'll never understand Onegin's pursuit for her.

How did you get in here? Here for class?

Brother Yicheng, I'm here to look for you.

Do you want me to take you somewhere again?

I'm sorry, Ju'an. I didn't purposely mean to bring it up.

Brother Yicheng,

I want you to keep me company this afternoon.

Okay.
