EPISODE 7

When breathing hurts without you

It's such a great song!

With more than a million reposts on Weibo,

goodness, this is an achievement.

We should take advantage of the song's popularity now.

We'll include "Breath" into your upcoming album.

This could be a great opportunity to make a fortune.

What do you think, Ms. Wang?

Good.

Since it's so well-received,

you guys should give it a go.

Under one condition.

I want this song to go viral.

Not a problem, Ms. Wang.

I will do my absolute best to make this album a hit.

Good, I have to go now.

Carry on with the discussion if you will.

-Got it. -Okay.

We should see Ms. Wang off.

-See you, Ms. Wang. -See you.

-Take care, Ms. Wang. -Bye.

I didn't expect Ms. Wang to have a change of mind.

Daniel, you're looking good today.

You're good at sucking up to others.

Daniel, thank you.

I'm your manager. You don't have to be so polite.

Speaking of Hebiancao, don't you remember anything about him?

Hebiancao?

Why are you bringing this up?

Look, there was only a small group of media representatives that day

and I didn't see other people.

That means that Hebiancao

is very likely to be your classmate who has admired you for a long time.

That couldn't be. Hebiancao created the comic to spread rumors about me.

Hence, I have a reason to believe Hebiancao is a girl.

They say they're not into you, but their action proved otherwise.

They say they don't like you when in fact they do.

What are you doing?

Did you forget that I am a girl?

I could sue you for defamation of character.

I keep on forgetting to treat you like a girl.

Chill out.

QINGQING'S ERRANDS SERVICE OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Our secretarial department has been documenting all new registrations.

It has been going well.

Chen Qingqing.

Are you waiting for my invitation to take down the meeting minutes?

I'm ready, chief.

Please go ahead.

Moving on, we might need help from other departments...

Bye.

Oh, right. Chen Qingqing.

I almost forgot to tell you.

Your final task for this training

is to take all of these student IDs,

make sure to stamp and register each of them

before distributing to the respective student leaders.

Please finish it today.

And thanks in advance for your hard work.

We've got to go now.

There's so much to do!

NAME: LAN XINYA

Are you trying to gang up on me?

Just you wait until it's your payback time!

Fangfang.

What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

I'm okay.

I'll feel better after a nap.

Fangfang, what do you feel like eating?

Fangfang.

Is there something bothering you?

Actually, my dad is hospitalized.

What happened to your dad?

Should I go to the hospital with you?

It's all right.

My dad has always been sick.

This time he needs surgery.

It's going to cost more than 100,000 yuan.

I have no idea how I am going to afford it.

Fangfang, don't you worry.

Take it easy, I'm here.

I will help you find a way.

It's okay, Qingqing. I will try to solve it by myself.

I'm going to the hospital tonight. I won't be having dinner with you later.

I've got to go.

Bye.

These three girls, aren't they...

They're here, let's go.

Xinyan.

Have you noticed?

The way people are looking at us today. Isn't it rather strange?

Yes.

Judging by the way they look at us, it seems like they're just admiring us.

Perhaps it's because of our powerful aura.

BARE FACE REVEALED IMPENDING DOOM, ABSOLUTE HORROR

Fangfang, I've figured out a solution.

A solution for what?

A solution for us to raise a large sum of money for your dad's surgery.

Look.

"Female Lead Audition for a Music Video"?

You're not missing this important information, right?

"Prize money of 150,000 yuan."

But you missed this important information here.

"Outstanding qualities are required."

Outstanding qualities?

I have them.

-Qingqing. -Yes?

I know you're really trying to help me,

but you don't have to try so hard.

I'm not.

It's simply a role for a music video.

How difficult can it be?

Don't worry.

How can Chen Qingqing be so full of herself?

Look at her.

She has the guts to join the audition?

-Qingqing. -Yes?

Are you going to audition for our campus' music video?

Yes.

The 150,000-yuan worth of prize money is going to be mine.

My application form has been filled out.

I'll submit it after this class ends.

Then I'm off to practice for my performance.

Hey, I suggest that you skip the audition

so that you don't trouble of yourself.

I, Chen Qingqing,

am not someone who admits to defeat easily.

Don't assume that everyone is like you, who judges people by their looks.

I--

I am going to use my talents

to prove everyone wrong.

FEMALE LEAD AUDITION FOR A MUSIC VIDEO

Wait for your number to be called.

Next.

Hi, I am here for the audition, thank you.

Hi.

You may go home and wait for our call.

-Next. -Hey, wait.

The other girls are all waiting here. Why should I wait at home?

Just go home and wait.

-Please leave. -Exactly, hurry up and leave.

Stop blocking others from the queue.

-How annoying. -Get lost.

There were rumors about you joining the audition.

I didn't believe it at first.

Apparently, it's true.

So what if it's true?

Are you not aware that they're looking for someone with outstanding qualities?

Look at yourself.

Do you really think you could be in Situ Feng's music video?

What?

This is Situ Feng's music video?

Stop pretending.

Back then, you pretended to be his assistant.

Now, you're trying to approach him on purpose again.

Who wants to approach him? I can't wait to get away from him.

Anyway, let me tell you this.

I'm going to be the female lead in this music video.

It's better for you to give up now.

I almost forgot.

It seems someone's application hasn't been accepted

and was eliminated right away.

Lan Xinya!

All right, I've got to go.

My time is precious.

Bye.

A music video by Situ Feng?

There's no way I'll ever be in it even if he begs me to!

But the prize money...

Gosh.

For the sake of Fangfang, I will sacrifice myself.

No one will recognize me without makeup anyway.

No.

Grandpa's men could already be here in Yuncheng.

Why do I have to deal with these shallow people

and put up with them ordering me around?

But without the prize money,

Fangfang won't be able to pay for the surgery.

Hi.

Your name is Qingchen?

I'm sorry, I didn't provide my picture.

That's not a problem.

I left out my phone number too.

No worries at all.

I think you're a great fit for the role.

Please take a seat.

Thank you.

I am so jealous.

-I'm so jealous. -Who is that?

-Lan Xinya! -Lan Xinya!

-She's outstanding! -She's outstanding!

-She's lovely! -She's lovely!

-She's the best! -She's the best!

Welcome, everyone.

Congratulations, all of you for advancing into the second round of the audition.

We have a test for you today.

Please act out an emotional scene as if you've been dumped by your lover.

Your act should portray how miserable you are after such breakup.

Shall we start?

Go to hell.

Why would you leave me?

How could you?

Should I look it up online?

HOW SHOULD YOU FEEL AFTER A BREAKUP?

That's it!

The girl without any facial expression.

Yes, you.

You have a unique style and composure.

I like how you stared at the breakup text messages,

looking all dejected and exhausted.

Your acting

was how I imagined the female lead to be like.

You were born to be an actress.

I think she's the right girl for the role.

However, why do I find your face familiar?

Have we met before?

Are you sure? I don't find your face familiar.

As the saying goes,

"Swans are beautiful, but they all look similar

while it's easy to spot an ugly duckling."

Since you're the chosen one, I'll cut to the chase.

Situ Feng is the male lead of this music video.

Situ Feng. Do you know him?

There's a reason this audition was kept a secret

as we want to keep the mystery alive for this music video.

I hope you'd understand.

Shooting will start next weekend.

You should get prepared before that.

Are there any questions?

I have a question about my prize money.

When can I get it?

You're selected to work with your idol. Aren't you excited?

Why am I constantly running into odd people these days?

As for that 150,000 yuan,

it will be given to you once the shooting ends.

We can meet up then.

By the way, this video that you'll be shooting

is Situ Feng's latest single.

"Breath."

"Breath"?

Yes.

Here's the demo.

Bring it home and listen to it.

Keep this to yourself or that 150,000 yuan

might slip away.

Qingqing, you're back.

Fangfang.

I'm sorry.

I didn't make it through the audition.

It's okay.

I'll think of other ways.

Fangfang, don't worry.

Before this coming weekend, I'll solve this problem for you.

It's okay.

Please trust me.

-Let me handle this. -Okay.

I'll make a move first.

QINGQING'S ERRANDS SERVICE

LITTLE BEE, A BOX OF CHOCOLATE

"Little Bee, a box of chocolate"?

Why can't I remember selling chocolate to this person?

Little Bee?

What kind of name is that?

Weren't you eliminated from the audition?

Why are you so late?

It's none of your business.

Qingqing, don't be sad.

It's okay that you're eliminated.

I've already told her not to embarrass herself.

From now on, you should learn to talk less.

I don't want others to know that you're my assistant.

I don't want to look stupid.

You're right.

I didn't make it.

Thanks for your concern.

I wasn't concerned at all.

You seem to be good at eating.

If you join an eating contest, maybe you will stand a chance.

Apologies, Your Highness.

You shouldn't have placed your foot underneath mine.

Do you know it's blocking my steps?

Also, to have your foot stepped on by someone like me

must have hurt real bad.

-Qingqing. -Hang on.

Can you share some gossip about Situ Feng with us?

I don't want to talk about that person today.

But...

I have a question for you guys.

Do you know who is Little Bee?

Of course I do.

Little bee buzzing And off they fly into the bushes

That's not what I meant.

That's not it!

I don't know about Little Bee, but I do know about Situ Feng.

Hey.

Why don't you guys go ahead to the canteen now?

You guys go ahead. I left something in the classroom.

Wait for me.

LITTLE BEE

Little Bee!

I caught you!

-What are you doing? -Lower down your voice.

-The class next door can hear you. -Situ Feng.

The burden of being an idol

has robbed you of your abilities to buy your own food?

I have to do this to stay in shape and my diet is restricted by my agency.

Snacks are prohibited.

If I get caught,

it's considered a violation of the contract.

So what if you've got so many supporters?

You can't even eat a bar of chocolate.

If you agree to one of my conditions,

I'll keep this a secret and I won't tell anyone.

-Condition? -Yes.

What condition?

If you agree to help me run errands,

then I'll keep this secret for you.

Are you trying to use me for publicity to get more customers?

Listen to me.

It's never going to happen.

Situ Feng, think about it.

If you help me run errands,

it's an opportunity to exercise and stay in shape.

You could eat plenty of snacks. Nobody would notice.

What do you think?

Let me tell you.

This chocolate

honestly tastes amazing.

Do you want to have a bite?

Are you sure you're not going to have any?

Why don't I

give you two more? What do you think?

Isn't that Situ Feng?

It looks like he's delivering something.

Let's go.

Yang Menglin,

Zhang Jingwen.

Here are your snacks.

Here.

Here you go.

Here's yours.

How much are they?

Three plus five plus eight...

We haven't worked out the total cost in advance.

Chen Qingqing, you've trapped me.

Situ Feng, you haven't collected your money!

Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Situ Feng is now running errands?

It used to be Chen Qingqing, right?

What's going on today?

What's wrong with Situ Feng today?

I want Situ Feng to run errands for me too.

It feels like

-he's delivering snacks as my boyfriend. -Yes.

It must have been Chen Qingqing again!

That was quick.

Are you all done?

Here's your money.

That's a lot.

You're worthy of your title

of an idol.

Look how much tips you've got.

That's right.

Great job.

You seem a little weak.

Excuse me?

-Who said I'm weak? -I'm saying that.

There were only two errands and you're running out of breath.

I'm not out of breath!

Potato chips as a reward from your boss.

Catch.

Go ahead and eat it.

I shouldn't eat this.

Look how much control other people are having over your life.

Don't you feel frustrated?

-Give it back if you're not eating it. -Who said I'm not eating it?

I used to feel frustrated, but I don't anymore.

That's because feeling angry or frustrated serves no purpose for me

which is why I've chosen to let go.

Why is having a purpose so important?

Why is it that for everything we do, we have to define its purpose?

If you're angry, just be angry.

Eat and drink whenever you want.

Eat, drink, play and have fun.

Eating is the most important thing. Don't you know?

Why think about it so much?

Forget it.

I should say something useful.

One hundred and twenty-five!

Are you going to eat this?

Listen, Situ Feng.

With the calories we consume every day,

as long as you find a way to burn them,

you'll be able to stay in shape.

Keep going!

One hundred and twenty-eight!

One hundred and twenty-nine!

Come on, Situ Feng.

Five.

Don't even think about eating.

I'm not.

Are you still trying to be sneaky?

Focus on height rather than speed.

Continue, higher!

Come on, Situ Feng!

Keep going.

Situ Feng, why are you carrying huge waterbottles?

It's hot outside!

I'm thirsty!

Situ Feng.

Was it raining outside?

Why are you all wet?

I went skipping.

Oh, skipping.

Skipping?

Chen Qingqing's sorcery is frightening.

Let me join.

Am I hearing this correctly?

Haven't you always said playing basketball will mess up your hair

which was why you never joined us?

That's in the past. I'm playing today.

Catch this.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me. Let me through.

-That's so cool! -That's amazing!

That suffocating burden of being an idol...

It's none of your business.

Sorry, excuse me.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

Tomorrow?

Where is the location?

Ming De College?

Okay, see you.

What am I going to do if someone recognizes me?

It's you.

Situ Feng.

Now that I look beautiful, you're trying to make a move.

Chen Qingqing is with me now.

Don't ever sing "Breath" again.

Situ Feng!
