[English subtitles are available]

Brother,

before we sign the contract,

let's be clear.

I really don't mean to save on the utility bills.

I just think

saving is a virtue.

After all, we are sharing a room.

Yes, yes.

Right?

It's good for both of us

to be frugal.

Mr. Landlord,

speaking of being frugal,

you've found the right person.

No one knows more about saving

than me.

Is that so?

Let's take washing the face as an example.

Let me show you

how I

wash my face.

Watch closely and don't blink.

Turn on, catch, sprinkle, turn off.

Clean and precise.

All in one fell swoop.

Heartache.

It must be too fast

for you to catch up.

It's okay.

I can show you again.

Turn on, catch, sprinkle, turn off.

That's enough.

That's enough.

It's too fast, isn't it?

Heartache. Heartache.

It's too wasteful.

Brother,

with a flow rate of nine liters per minute

of the faucet,

you just used

154.5ml of water.

It's too wasteful.

It's too wasteful.

Brother.

I don't think it is.

I think

10ml

is enough.

How much?

10ml.

Wash your face?

10ml?

Come on, brother.

Show me.

You want me to show it.

10ml.

Come on, wash your face with 10ml of water.

Come on, show me.

10ml.

Make it fully soaked.

Wait a minute.

Saving is a virtue.

Brother,

this...

Brother, um...

What if...

I want to wash my hair?

This 10ml will do too.

I don't think

it can even wet your hair.

You want me to show it.

Show me.

See?

Virtue.

What if I want to take a bath?

This 10 ml will do too.

You've aroused my interest, brother.

Come on.

Brother. Brother.

You are a talent.

You are a talent.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Don't...

I'm just kidding.

You fell for it.

Can't waste it.

[Rent Boy]

Sisi,

open the door.

Sisi,

I can hear you eating potato chips.

Hurry up.

What?

Are you playing mahjong?

No.

There are three of us, and we need another one to join.

Then you can play Landlords.

No, you're the only one missing.

Get out of the way.

You'll get sick

if you stay home alone on weekends.

It's not mentally healthy.

I have company.

Right, Yanyan?

You have company.

How great.

I like it. I like working late.

I can't be lazy to work overtime.

I like it. I like working late.

I'm not bothered. Leave me alone. Let me work overtime.

Help!

Sisi.

Help.

[Gaofa Technology]

It took people three days to find it?

Tell me about it.

That's why

you should live with someone else.

The body must stink.

[Gaofa Technology]

Stop it, it's scary.

Let me show you.

No, no, I'm not looking.

[Gaofa Technology]

It's too scary.

I can't see it.

Then this...

It's disgusting.

No, don't.

I don't want to see it.

Think about it.

A man goes on a business trip for three days

and finds a rat corpse when he comes back.

It's unimaginable.

It's disgusting.

[Planning Department 3]

Tianran,

you look so pale.

What's wrong?

I don't want to live alone anymore.

I'll tell you.

[Planning Department 3]

I've always dreamed of living alone.

Seconded.

Live alone.

It's nice even to think about it.

That's right.

What are you two doing during working hours?

Check it out.

Okay, okay.

[Planning Department 3]

You don't want to live alone.

Why don't you just find someone to share the apartment with?

That makes sense.

Have you seen the news?

[Mingxiu Coffee Enjoy your time]

Recently, there have been scandals about some apartments.

The landlord just kicked

the tenants out.

[Looking for a roommate]

[The price is good. The second landlord Li]

I saw it. It's crazy.

The rent was paid.

The contract was signed.

But the tenants became homeless overnight.

I heard that people from company

are affected too.

A lot of people have taken time off to look for apartments.

Right?

What are you doing?

[Looking for roommates]

[Yixin Apartment]

He's looking for a roommate.

Why?

He said he's afraid of

living by himself.

It's not like that.

Gao Defen,

what are you doing?

Are you going out camping?

What a coincidence.

[Mingxiu Coffee Enjoy your time]

Are you finally fired from the company?

Congratulations.

No, no.

I…

I'm experiencing

a new way of life.

Have you ever heard of minimalism?

Minimal…

Minimalism.

Minimalism.

That's pretty much what it means.

It's, like, subtraction,

elimination of desire,

and saying goodbye to unnecessary things.

All my belongings

are in this backpack.

What's the word for that?

It means

“With a backpack in my hand, I can go anywhere anytime.”

That's me.

Sounds pretty cool.

Dude, you're hungry.

Mi…

Minimal what?

[Mingxiu Coffee Enjoy your time]

[Sha: How many roommates are you looking for?]

[Sha: How many roommates are you looking for?]

[Tang: Are you looking for roommates?]

I'm so popular.

[Are you looking for roommates? When can I see the room?]

Tonight.

[Are you looking for roommates? When can I see the room?]

[Tonight]

You are…

Tang.

I'm sorry.

I'm early.

Ba.

I'm sorry.

I'm late.

Sha.

I'm sorry.

I have nothing to be sorry about.

I came on time.

Don't be sorry.

Come on, you can see it together.

Tianran,

if we live together,

we'll be roommates.

Don't put

used bowls here.

You have to wash it right away.

That's not good to see.

Sorry, I forgot.

Remember to hang up your clothes.

Okay.

And this.

Remember to seal up

the opened snacks in a ziplock bag.

Good.

Look at you.

What is this?

You only have one trash can.

How do you do the wet and dry separation?

This is unbearable.

And what is this?

This is...

The lid of the face wash is not covered.

It's easy to breed bacteria.

Tianran, with all due respect…

Wait, brother.

Can you look at the house first?

Why are you still calling me “Brother”

after what I've taught you?

Call me Master.

Master?

Tianran,

he asked you to call him Master

the first time he met you?

That's right.

Ba.

He told Tianran to call him Master.

Neighbors! Neighbors!

He... he told Tianran to call him Master.

He told Tianran to call him Master.

Big Brother.

You... don't shout.

I can call you anything you want.

Don't shout outside, okay?

I say,

are you going to rent this house or not?

If you don't want to rent it,

I'll take my bags and go back home.

I'm going back.

Let's all go back.

Sit down.

Did I say I wouldn't rent it?

Look, Tang.

He's mean to me.

Do you care?

What's going on?

What's wrong with you, Tianran?

I...

I didn't do anything.

Wait, let me…

Tang.

Ba.

Sha.

Then I am…

-Monkey King. -Big Brother. -Wukong.

[Monkey King][Big Brother][Wukong]

Bai,

are you available?

Come here if you are.

We need someone here.

You're the only one missing.

[Yiye Zhiqiu]

Yiye Zhiqiu?

[Personal Page]

[Photo Wall]

It seems interesting.

I'm free tonight.

[The house will be ready tonight?]

[I'm free tonight]

Kid, who are you looking for?

You're Uncle Li Tianran, right?

You can call me brother.

You are?

I'm here to see the house.

Is that so?

Who are you?

Yiye Zhiqiu.

Yiye Zhiqiu.

Did you come here alone?

All right, come in.

Let go of me.

I don't want to go home!

I don't want to call someone my father!

Li Tianran.

Just wait!

How dare you set me up?

How...

How dare you call my mother?

Don't leave after work.

Wait for me.

Who would have thought that Yiye Zhiqiu

was a child?

Could you think of that?

[For rent]

[Super low price, south-facing, large open room]

Li Defa.

Rent with the real name.

[For rent]

[Super low price, south-facing, large open room]

The monthly rent is only ¥300.

You must be fooling me.

Try it.

It's so cheap.

Hello?

I want to see

the house with ¥300 monthly rent.

Yes, the ¥300 one.

Is it still available?

Why is it so cheap?

Please come in.

Welcome. Welcome.

Warmly welcome.

You must be Gao Daifu.

Gao Dafu.

My English name is David Gao.

I'm Wuliu Wang.

[Wang Wuliu]

I'm your agent, Wang Wuliu.

[House Agent]

[Wang Wuliu]

Wang Wuliu.

The name sounds unlucky.

Don't say that.

I'm here to get a room with you.

Get a room or show me a room?

I'll get it and you'll see it.

Make it clear.

It's easy to cause misunderstanding.

Are you seeing it or not?

Yes.

Then do it.

Satisfied?

Luxury house.

It's big.

Satisfied?

Yes.

The monthly rent is ¥300, right?

¥300 a month, ¥600 for the deposit.

¥90 for the agent.

You'll get it

with the lowest price of ¥992.

¥300 a month, ¥600 for the deposit.

[Monthly rent ¥300]

[Deposit ¥600]

[Agent ¥90]

If the agent is ¥90,

it should be ¥900.

How come it's ¥992?

It's for a shared bicycle.

It was ¥1.

It's a round trip.

A round trip. That's right.

You're good.

I'll take this.

Good feng shui.

Who lives there?

Li Defa initiated the order.

Li Defa.

Right.

My roommate Li Defa.

What does Li Defa do?

He looks after the warehouse.

A warehouse watcher.

What?

You're not good enough for him.

Li Defa.

Substitute one thing for another.

He has both virtues and skills

and will make you rich.

He has a better name than me.

Isn't it good?

Are you sure?

Only dogs lie to you.

Let's talk about something.

If I pay ¥300 a month, that's ¥10 a day.

Can I pay daily?

Let's talk about something.

What?

Destiny comes and goes.

Can I not sign it?

Yes.

I'll sign it.

I'll sign it. I'll sign it.

I can't find a cheaper one.

It's done.

Now that it's done, let's not see each other anymore.

A big mansion.

So spacious.

So big.

I can do gymnastics now.

You're back.

What is it?

What is it?

How can you not inform me in advance that you have a dog?

This…

You're back, Li Defa.

[Woof]

Don't bark at night.

Don't bark at night.

Li Defa.

[Woof]

Defa.

[Woof]

Defa.

[Woof]

You're Li Defa?

[Hmm]

Lee Defa is a dog?

Substitute one thing for another.

He has both virtues and skills

and will make me rich.

What a trap.

Only dogs lie to me.

That's true.

Li Defa is a dog.

Wang Wulu.

Cut the crap, Wang Wuliu.

I don't mind living with a dog.

Who doesn't love small animals?

But it's been running around the house all night.

It didn't even guard the warehouse.

I'm not complaining to you.

I'm asking you to give me back my money.

Will you give it back?

No?

I'm begging you, okay?

Wang Wu…Liu.

Give me back my money.

I... I need money.

Tianran,

how is it?

Did you find someone?

I've found five or six.

None of them are reliable.

You're just wasting your time.

A second landlord is also a landlord.

You can't rent it to everyone.

You have to screen.

Screen?

Screen.

Screen it well.

Good luck.

Okay.

Where's the meat?

Good night.

Good night.

[Simply furnished room for rent at Mingtian Apartment]

[Large balcony room for rent at Tangchen Garden]

[South-facing garden room for rent at Happy Land]

[3 rooms for rent at Antenna Garden]

[One-room facing southwest for rent at Yixin Apartment]

One hundred questions about rental assessment.

[3 rooms for rent at Antenna Garden]

[One-room facing southwest for rent at Yixin Apartment]

Interesting.

There is an assessment to rent an apartment.

Gao Defen loves the assessment.

Begin.

[Who cleans the common area?]

Common area.

I clean.

[Who cleans the common area?]

[I clean]

I'm responsible for kitchen hygiene.

[Who cleans the kitchen?]

[Who cleans the kitchen?]

[I'm responsible]

Meals a day.

[Who cooks three meals a day?]

[Who cooks three meals a day?]

[I do]

I do.

Dr. Gao.

Good.

It should be nice to

have a private doctor in the family.

He can get a passing grade.

Let's see your answer sheet.

A perfect score.

That's great.

Coming.

Gao Defen?

Li Tianran?

I was thinking the place looked familiar.

What looked familiar? Why are you here?

I'm...

I'm here to give you a reminder.

A reminder?

Do you have a proposal yet

for the price of the second-hand market?

I talked to Director Yao.

He told me to ask you for a match.

No, I don't.

I really don't understand

how a dumb person like you can live in such a nice apartment.

Don't.

Why are you going in?

I'm waiting for someone.

Who are you waiting for? I can't wait.

I haven't showered in three days.

What?

I...

I said I couldn't wait.

You haven't submitted anything in three days.

I've been waiting for you for three days.

This... this is towards...

Towards the southwest.

It's a little hot in the summer.

But once in a while, you can watch the sunset.

Watch the sunset.

It's a bay window.

Of course it is.

How about yours?

Mr. Gao,

this is your coffee refill.

Did you add sugar?

No.

Good.

It's good.

Excuse me.

Here, one more. One more free refill.

Yes, one more.

Our house has

floor-to-ceiling windows.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's all right.

Well,

the light must be good.

It's all right.

A coffee machine?

Do you make it yourself when you want something to drink?

Then what else?

To have someone else do it for you?

That's right.

There is someone to collect my cups after I'm done drinking.

Lift your feet.

Put down your feet.

Wait, so...

This cup…

Put it away for you, right?

No, throw it away.

No more refills?

The bottom is a little leaky.

So you're asking us to

give you another one.

Is that okay?

Good service.

Okay, you're good.

Do you cook for yourself?

I make my food now and then.

A great way to save money.

It's all right.

I have

a special chef.

[Newcomer's gift]

As usual,

The no. 1 Package is the cheapest.

Excuse me.

Why did the No. 1 Package increase by one yuan?

It's a company rule.

It's a rule. One more yuan.

I quit.

I have package meals every day.

There is a menu.

I just need to call the number of what I want to eat.

Okay, Gao Defen.

I know your department is an elite department.

All right?

There is no need to brag.

It's all right.

Upstairs is the bedroom, right?

Let's go.

Take a look.

What

are you looking at?

What's it to you? You're just looking around?

You're right.

It has nothing to do with me.

I can't live here.

The plan for the secondary market I mentioned.

Do you have it yet?

No, I don't.

I've been busy

cleaning up my house

and looking for a roommate.

A roommate?

Finding a roommate is a big deal.

You have to look hard.

I already have a plan.

I'll say

we did it together.

No need.

It's okay.

Go ahead and get busy.

I gotta go.

What a strange man.

Where have you been, Dr. Gao?

[Li Tianran]

Dr. Gao,

where have you been?

Why haven't you come yet?

[Dicos]

[Weekday Meal ¥15]

[Newcomer gift]

Our house has floor-to-ceiling windows.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows.

There is someone to collect my cups after I'm done drinking.

I have a special chef.

I have package meals every day.

There is a menu.

I just need to call the number of what I want to eat.

Why is the sunset over there?

Yes.

I said

you could see the sunset once in a while.

When I came here this morning, it was over here.

That's right.

When you came in the morning,

the sun...

Did you see the building?

It was shining on that tall building

and lighting the living room

by reflection. How great is that?

This is east, west…

This is northwest.

Didn't you say it was southwest?

This is south…

North to South.

It has good ventilation and is cooler.

We young people have a lot of energy.

It's hot to face south.

Liar.

Big liar.

You can't say that.

There is a study at the left

and a kitchen at the right.

There's a shower room on the opposite side.

A big bay window.

It's like a view room.

What else do you want?

I'm touched by that.

In fact, I'm not used to sleeping in a big bed.

You know me.

I think it's good to sleep here.

Okay.

So that's it?

That's great.

Okay.

Go.

Make a cup of tea for your landlord.

We'll talk about the rent later.

I'll make you a cup of tea first.

Make tea?

Mao Jian or Long Jing?

Both will do.

[Lucky day to step on eggs]

Good morning, Tianran.

Good morning.

Bai,

I was thinking

if my electronic bicycle

can be stolen downstairs.

You can put it in my house.

My home is too far from the company.

To save time,

I rented a single room

across the company.

You did?

Yeah.

Can I?

Of course you can.

Wait when we're off work.

Let's go check it out after work.

Okay, let's go there after work.

Tianran, come in.

[Luxury]

Bai,

I thought you said

[Single room]

you rented a single room.

Yes, a single room.

This single room...
