You came just to thank me?

No, no, no.

Well, the flu bug has been flying around.

So, I came here just to see if you're okay.

Oh.

You...

Why do you care so much about me?

Because...

Because I wish to treat you well.

Ms Ma,

actually, I...

I...

Actually...

Actually, I'd...

I'd like to invite you to watch a play.

I'll be performing tomorrow night.

Would you be free to come?

I have an event to attend tomorrow.

It's okay.

Just come when you are free.

Anyhow, I'll leave the ticket with you.

Anything else?

Nothing else.

Okay.

Then leave.

I...

Actually, Ms Ma...

Actually, I really...

Fool!

I'm Liang Chen's Lu Jing. Hi, everyone.

He's right.

He's Lu Jing.

He's younger than me.

Hey, Liang Chen.

Why are you smiling at everything?

Is being in love that good?

Oh, yeah, it is. In fact, it's very good.

But you won't understand...

this feeling.

Well, it's just a relationship.

Could it be that sweet?

Of course! It's Lu Jing I'm with.

You were given an inch. Now, you take a mile.

We know,

your boyfriend's the best.

But let me tell you,

from today onwards, you've got to concentrate on the task.

Although today's job is just to redo some shots for the trailer,

you better not mess it up.

Concentrate on the task.

From now onwards, I'll not speak about Lu Jing.

That's right.

Concentrate on the task and get the job done.

Right! Focus on the job.

Lu Jing even told me to focus on my job.

Ms Liang, didn't you say not to mention him?

Sun, the play's about to start.

Why are you peeping here?

Nothing.

It's a full house again today.

You don't need to worry about the box office.

Just play your part well.

Don't worry.

I'm a seasoned actor. I'll do my best for sure.

Okay.

Guo, am I done with today's job?

Hold on.

Let me just check.

Yup, you're free.

Ms Ma, why did you rush to get so many things done during the day today?

I have something to do later on.

You're free to get off work now.

I'll be fine on my own.

Ms Ma, your earphones.

It's okay.

You don't need them?

Really?

Really. I'm telling the truth.

Okay, then.

Just let it be.

You're leaving?

Yes.

He left!

He left!

What should I do?

It's so hot!

You...

You can't get rid of me this time.

Look, am I not in here now?

Aren't you Ma Shan Shan?

That Taro, he's a huge fan of yours.

He'd be stoked to know that you came to watch his play.

You know Sun Bin Yu too?

I'm his ex-girlfriend.

Do the both of you know each other too?

But I knew that you had little to no time.

Why did you hide instead of coming to see me?

Your face!

What happened to your face?

I fell on the way here.

Okay.

I did switch off the lights when I left.

Mum?

Dad?

What brings you here?

What do you mean?

Can't we come?

Look at you, having a boyfriend without keeping us informed...

and being so gutsy to go public with it.

How daring!

Mum, isn't this...?

Isn't this such a rush?

I didn't have the time to talk to you about it.

Didn't have the time?

You and your boyfriend had been a hot search topic for a while now,

and you tell me you "didn't have the time"?

If your dad and I came any later, this news might shake the heavens.

I...

What are you trying to say? What?

Why don't we watch some TV programmes?

Look. Who is it?

Isn't this that Liu Mao Yan that you adore so much?

How handsome.

Are you asking for a beating, huh?

Think you're so clever to change the topic?

Mum, I just came back from work. I'm exhausted.

Let me get changed.

Just watch Liu Mao Yan.

Okay?

What? Just where are you going?

I'm not finished yet.

Just look at her.

Shouldn't you be saying something?

I...

You only know how to cook! Is cooking that important?

Come on, Lu Jing, pick up the phone already!

(Lu Jing)

Liang Chen, better get out here after changing!

Don't think you can hide in there!

Get out here and explain yourself to your dad and I!

Now!

Okay. Right away.

Lu Jing, apply Level 1 Precaution.

My parents are here.

Gosh, look at you.

We didn't even know that our own daughter is in a relationship.

You know, the neighbours congratulated your dad and I...

about our daughter finding a boyfriend.

Do you know how embarrassed your dad and I were?

Yeah, yeah.

How long have you been with this boyfriend of yours?

Why do you keep playing with your phone?

What?

I was asking you, how long have you been with this boyfriend of yours?

What did your dad tell you?

He advised you to not choose based on one's looks.

You can't just consider looks.

You need to find someone older.

Someone older would take good care of you.

Just like your dad.

Older partner wouldn't necessarily be more mature.

I can take care of myself.

Furthermore, didn't you choose Dad based on looks?

You little...

Who is it?

I'll get it.

You sit. Sit!

You go.

Let me.

-I'm... -Go.

Let me tell you, your dad and I will not agree...

for you to have a boyfriend who's younger than you.

Moreover, how many younger guys out there are dependable?

Who are you looking for?

You must be Uncle.

I'm Lu Jing.

I didn't know you'll be coming.

I brought some stuff too.

You must be cooking.

Leave the stuff and go.

What's taking you so long? Who is it?

Who is it?

This is Lu Jing.

This is my dad and my mum.

Hi, Aunty. Hi, Uncle. I'm Lu Jing.

Hello, hello.

Get back to the kitchen.

Go back and cook.

Did you buy these ingredients...

for us?

Yes, Uncle.

Let me take them.

Do you need my help, Uncle?

No.

It's okay.

-What are you doing? -What are you doing?

Oh, right.

Liu...

It's Lu Jing.

Oh, Lu Jing. Come on in.

So, this is your boyfriend who's on the hot search?

He's kind of cute.

You do look similar.

What are you chopping?

Aunty, perhaps, I could go take a look in the kitchen?

It's okay, it's okay.

Hope we didn't scare you.

Actually, that's how Uncle is.

When he sees something not to his liking, he'll chop things...

to give it a clean finish.

Don't worry, Aunty.

I won't let Uncle has the chance to "chop" me up on the spot.

Good, good. That's good.

So...

Xiao Lu,

where are you studying at?

I major in E-sports at Nanze University.

Nanze?

Yes. And just call me Xiao Jing.

Both of you are from the same university.

How old are you?

Mum, are you taking census?

Gosh, you...

What? Can't I ask?

-How old are you? -Aunty, I'm 22 this year.

I'm at a legal age for marriage.

Legal age for marriage...

How many relationships have you had?

I mean, how many girlfriends have you had before our Chen Chen?

Aunty, Chen Chen is my first love.

Your first love?

You're his first love!

Unbelievable!

Impossible.

You're good-looking and handsome.

I'm sure many girls pursue you.

My gosh. First love!

I'm usually busy with studies.

I don't think too much about things besides studying.

And, I'm just ordinary-looking,

unlike Chen Chen.

Today, I get to see why Chen Chen looks so good.

She inherited it from you, Aunty.

Yes, yes.

You can see it? Yeah, she takes after me.

And I thought I look like Dad.

Must you take away my moment?

I should go and take a look if Uncle needs help in the kitchen.

Sure, sure.

My goodness.

He does look similar.

The point is, he's handsome too.

And he's also so pleasant.

Mum, weren't you against us dating a second ago?

What? Nonsense!

Uncle, is there anything I can help with?

Yes, you're right. I'm all for the both of you now.

Your boyfriend's here.

And what are you wearing?

Gosh, what is this?

Holes everywhere?

There's fur everywhere too!

This is fashion.

Fashion my foot!

Get changed immediately.

Wear something beautiful and lady-like.

Up your fashion game.

-But this is fashion. -Hurry already.

Take off this "holey" outfit.

Your hair too!

This kid is perfect.

Wash your hands.

The blue one.

What are you doing?

Chen Chen always mentioned that your Braised Pork Belly is delicious.

So, I'd like to learn from you and make it for her next time.

If jotting notes in a tiny notebook does the trick,

then there are hundreds of ways to cook this dish available on the Internet.

They are all delicious.

Nonsense!

I'll tell you, this Braised Pork Belly of mine...

is a special secret recipe.

Whether it's how ingredients are selected,

the ingredients and the heat,

they are all very detailed.

Especially the heat I cook on.

If the heat's too high, the meat gets tough.

If the heat's too low, the meat gets mushy.

It should be just nice.

It should simmer on gentle heat.

That's just nice.

And let me tell you a secret.

Our emotions affect how the dish tastes.

Do you know how I make delicious dishes?

It's because I think of Chen Chen...

and her mum each time I cook.

Because it's for them.

So it gets my heart full.

That's how the dishes taste good.

Got that? It's called love.

Got it.

Si Feng, you've changed.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning.

You lied to me.

You lied to me and wanted me to see you again tomorrow morning.

But I only have such little time to see you.

Why must you hide instead of coming to see me?

Your face!

It's bleeding.

I fell on the way here.

I beg you, please leave!

No, I won't.

Let me take a proper look at you.

I'm afraid of you.

I am afraid.

What are you afraid of?

I'm afraid of you.

You're ugly. You have blood all over.

It's almost impossible to recognise you.

Who are you?

Who do you think am I?

-Who's that? -Quiet.

Have you returned, Da Hai?

- Elder Brother's home! - You've got to go, now!

Even the house has collapsed?

That's weird!

-What's wrong? -The windows can't open!

They are at the door. Don't make a sound.

Where's the plank?

-In Si Feng's house. -They're close.

Go, find yourself a place to hide!

Soup is ready!

- Be careful not to burn yourself. - Come, Xiao Jing.

Thank you for the hard work. Have a seat.

- Yeah. Thank you for the hard work. - Thank you, Uncle Liang.

I did nothing. It was all Uncle's effort.

- I was just an assistant. - Look at this kid.

Come, sit.

Fashion.

Come on now, time to eat.

Xiao Jing, sit. Come.

-Today's main dish... -Thank you so much.

The Braised Pork Belly I made.

Thank you, Uncle.

- Come, have a chicken wing. - Thank you, Aunty.

This chicken wing takes much effort and time to marinate.

Uncle does nothing better than to cook dishes.

Nonsense!

Besides dishes, my soup is good too, okay?

Are you asking for a...?

An analogy?

Uncle is good at everything, even soup.

Aunty loves to joke.

Yeah, yeah.

-Come, come. -You have some too.

- Get our guest some more dishes. - Oh, there are short ribs too.

It's delicious, Uncle's signature dish.

Thank you, Aunty. Thank you, Uncle.

This Tomato Fried Egg I made tastes different from the others.

Have some.

-You should. -Have some.

The bowl is clean.

See? Xiao Jing loves my cooking.

Yes, yes, you cook well.

Youngsters have such good appetites.

They can eat. I like that!

I like that!

Are you okay?

Well, I'm still alive.

That's okay. You don't need to see us off.

Let's go. Come.

-Be safe. -We will.

- Let's get going already. - Bye, Uncle and Aunty.

We're leaving. Bye!

Let me know when you're home.

We will!

Mum, put on your jacket and don't catch a cold.

I will. Go back in already.

-Bye! -Bye, Aunty!

Bye-bye. Bye.

Come on.

Probiotics digestive tablets for you?

Uncle and Aunty were constantly filling my plate.

They must like me a lot.

What a show-off! Weren't you a sweetheart a while ago?

All that, "I'm just ordinary-looking," "unlike Chen Chen."

"I see that Chen Chen inherited her looks from Aunty."

Didn't you praise me in front of Aunty?

It was my mistake. You must be proud of yourself, huh?

They gave you all the dishes. I wasn't even full.

Then, I'll eat some more with you.

You still can eat?

I can't let you go hungry, can I?

Three, two, one.

This is the end of the performance.

We thank you for coming out to watch our play.

Good night.

Taro!

You're here!

Aren't you getting married?

Yes.

I came today to pass you the invitation card.

I'm counting you in. The wedding's next month.

Congratulations.

Guess who I met just now.

-Who? -Ma Shan Shan.

-Ma Shan Shan? -Yes.

She came?

She was just there.

Where did she go?

Ms Ma! Ms Ma!

You really came!

Since you're here, why didn't you wait for me?

Don't you have someone waiting for you?

You...

Don't tell me you're upset because of Yu Ke?

But you have to believe me.

I wasn't expecting anyone today but you alone.

Really! I'm a pure and upright single man.

There's nothing you need to worry about.

I'm not upset.

Neither am I worried.

I swear, Ms Ma.

Yu Ke and I are no longer a thing.

It's now the past.

Ms Ma, didn't you agree to leave with me yesterday?

Who agreed?

Well, you didn't say no. So, I took it as a yes.

Ms Ma, are you hungry?

I'm extremely hungry right now.

I know of a good kebab place. I'll bring you there.

Please, Ms Ma.

Please say yes?

-Ten minutes. -Okay!

I'll get changed and I'll be back in a blink!

I'll be quick!

Wait for me!

♫ He lights one cigarette after another ♫

♫ He drinks one cup of alcohol After another ♫

♫ Please ♫

You're adding that much chilli?

I...

Spicy food is my thing.

Even Szechuanese or Hunanese can't beat me.

Eat, Ms Ma.

Ms Ma,

do you like me...?

I mean, my performance tonight?

I...

Don't get me wrong, Ms Ma.

I just want to know your opinion about my performance.

I think I liked it.

Really, Ms Ma?

-Be careful. -Did it get on you?

I'm fine.

Then, Ms Ma,

can I also...

take it as...

you liking me too?

Eat some more, Ms Ma.

Come, come.

You too.

Can you towel-dry my hair for me?

Your hair's so short.

Just do it yourself. Spoiled brat.

Can you keep longer hair?

Why? Isn't my hair long already?

Because I'd like to fall in love with you a little more.

Since you like me that much,

I'd just try even though it troubles me.

Senior,

could you blow-dry my hair for me next time?

Did you know?

When I was little, I had a puppy.

Each time after bathing it, I'd blow-dry its fur.

Are you trying to say that I'm a puppy?

Your hair feels like fur.

What are you doing?

Pleasing my master.

Let go of me.

Go away!

Are you hungry?

-Hello, Guo. -Shan Shan.

Check out the email I sent you.

Lin Qi mentioned you in an interview.

Okay.

Recently, Ma Shan Shan had a comeback and wrote songs for a show.

We heard that you two were university mates.

We were not just university mates.

We were also close comrade-in-arms.

During our university days, we often worked together.

She's extremely talented.

Sometimes, I'd give her some guidance.

Her inspiration always brought me new ideas.

My debut song "Hold On Me" was written and inspired by her.

As we know, the both of you were still a couple at that time.

What caused the break up?

All in all, first loves are always wonderful.

But it's inevitable to leave some regrets.

I can only say, we weren't mature enough.

Then, is there anything you'd like to tell her now?

- Can I say it while facing the camera? - Sure.

I hope Shan Shan can revive her dream for music.

After all, the songs you've written...

are loved by many.

Do not let your talent go to waste.

(Lin Qi talks about his first girlfriend in an interview)

[Go for it, Shan Shan.]

Is she not home?

Ms Ma, are you home?

It's me. Open up.

Ms Ma!

Oh, you're home, Mi Ma.

You...

What's wrong, Ms Ma?

Leave.

I said leave.

Don't pester me ever again.

What?

What happened?

-You can talk to me about anything. -Leave.

Leave. Okay?

- Leave. Stop pestering me. - No, I'm not leaving.

-I beg of you. Leave. -I'm not leaving.

I just arrived. Why are you chasing me off?

- Leave. - You haven't told me what happened to you.

Leave!

Didn't you hear me?

Go! Leave!

Leave.

Fine.

I'll go.

Don't scream or you'll hurt your throat.

(Sun Bin Yu)

(Sun Bin Yu)

Hello.

I'll give you one more chance...

to choose.

Do you want...

meat buns...

or prawn buns?

Bro, are you going to buy or not?

Can you hurry up?

Yeah. It's freezing-cold out here.

Are you buying or not?

-Bro. -What are you doing?

Meat buns.
