Original subtitles

The others have left. Why are you still here?

You're leaving the company soon.

If you have unfinished tasks,

you can ask for help from others.

What's the matter?

When we're alone,

can we act like strangers?

I don't want to talk to you.

Didn't you say

that we should be like how we were?

I was being polite.

You didn't get it?

I'm outside the office.

I don't see you.

Here!

Here!

I see you. I'm coming.

Love.

When it's strong, it makes you jump over the moon.

After breaking up,

it hurts you deeply.

In order to keep our remaining dignity,

we must pretend not to care

and be the bigger person.

Pretend that

we don't love each other at all.

Wasn't that funny?

Yes, it was!

It's my turn.

One day, a rabbit was home watching TV.

Then, there was a knock on the door. It was a snail.

It asked, "Little rabbit,

can you give me some water?"

Without hesitation, the rabbit kicked the snail away.

Three years later,

when the rabbit was at home watching TV again,

someone knocked on the door.

The rabbit opened the door and saw the snail again.

It asked the rabbit angrily,

"Why did you kick me?"

"Why did you kick me?"

Big Head, your turn.

This joke has been passed down in my family since the Three Kingdoms era.

Listen carefully.

One day, Cao Cao went to Hua Tuo's house with Cao Chong.

At the door, Cao Cao smiled and said,

"I'm visiting you with my youngest one."

Hua Tuo said,

"Just come empty-handed. Why did you bring a fruit?"

Yuan Song.

Don't you find our jokes funny?

Don't bother.

Stop trying to make me happy.

It's just a breakup. It's not like I can't live without her.

Look.

I told you.

Yuan Song can let it go.

It's nothing serious.

But Melon was so worried.

She wanted to cheer you up.

I didn't know that you'd recover so fast.

There are plenty of fish in the sea.

You're a true man.

Here, to a tough guy like you.

Why don't you consider being with me?

Show your ex-girlfriend that you have other suitors.

Forget it. I was just joking.

What a coward.

Tripe is the crunchiest when it is almost cooked.

Try one.

It is crunchy.

You eat some too.

I like seeing you eat.

Chang Huan, if we are together,

I'll transform you into a chubby guy.

Then you'll be comfortable in the winter.

No other women will fall for you then.

Right, Cong Xiao?

No.

Many girls like chubby guys.

They look cute.

But not you anyway.

You like rich guys.

Like Sanmao,

I won't even marry a millionaire if I don't love him.

I'd marry a billionaire if I love him.

The billionaire-marrying Ms. Cong,

how is it going between you and Mr. Ye?

It's already in the past.

He likes someone else.

You're giving up so easily?

Then? Do I wait for him?

That'd be a long wait.

I don't have the patience to wait for somebody.

But they won't last long.

You met his girlfriend?

-Yes. -Is she amazing?

Very ordinary.

Here.

The pork aorta is nice. Try one.

-Really? -Yes.

If I were Chang Huan's girlfriend,

I'd be upset now.

You two are being very ignorant right now!

It's as if I'm not even here.

No.

We're used to this.

Well, do you want a pork aorta?

Didn't you promise me

that we'd hang out with the premise of dating?

Since you've promised me,

you should keep a distance from other girls when...

Even if she's a close friend like Cong Xiao.

You should mind my feelings.

I'm not a third wheel.

Not at all. I'm the third wheel.

-Don't be mad. -I know.

You encouraged me to go after Chang Huan

and brought us together.

So I'm not mad.

I was just reminding you to know your place.

I got it.

He's just a friend. Don't worry.

That's right.

I'm not her cup of tea.

Well, you're my cup of tea.

I'm digging in.

-Here, have another one. -Okay.

-Eat up. -Okay.

SONG YUAN, HE FANXING

HE FANXING

SONG YUAN

Why write it backwards?

I have OCD.

I need to get the dynasties in the right sequence.

Actually, my name has nothing to do with the dynasties.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing.

This sounds more comfortable.

It's so good to be in love.

We can make cups happily,

watch movies and enjoy the night view together.

We can also hug each other by the lake.

If we break up one day,

you must...

You must really curse me with an unhappy life.

Why must I curse you?

Because

only those who aren't in love can wish each other happiness.

But if we still love each other,

we would hope that the other person feels sad

and regrets breaking up.

So, even then,

you were already prepared to break up?

Can you

date me?

Will I do?

What?

Compared to a blind date,

am I not a better choice?

You look pretty this way.

On Sunday evening,

let's meet at the usual place.

Why are you in such a rush?

Of course, I have already hit a home run and now I have to start over?

You are sophisticated even when you're jealous.

I'm not jealous.

I...

I...

I'm just feeling uncomfortable.

You're holding up your hands

to stop me from kissing you?

It was your first kiss

and told me to treasure it.

Don't act like a high school girl who got dumped.

That's a bit disgusting.

Don't listen to this song. You'll be even sadder.

You'll make Mom and Dad worry.

Let's go to my place.

I can cheer you up.

This is great!

-Right? -It's really good!

-It's perfect! -I'm glad you like it.

How do I adjust this one?

This will make it stronger.

What about this?

Look. Have a feel, Mrs. He.

-This mode is comfortable. -Yes.

It imitates the human fist and uses a cross method

to massage the acupoints of Fengchi, Tianzhu and Jianjin.

Can you feel it?

It's comfortable. Really.

It is, right?

But you wouldn't let me buy it.

This is the latest model.

I must've woken up the wrong way.

I'll get back to sleep.

It's already seven. Go and wash up.

Why do your eyes look puffy?

Hey.

Why did you come by so early?

It makes me stressed. Can you give me some space?

The massagers I bought with Mrs. He arrived,

so I brought them here.

It was a bargain. The second unit was only half price.

You want some space? All right.

Mr. and Mrs. He, I've delivered the items. I'm leaving.

No way! You can't just leave!

You came by so early to bring them to us.

At least have breakfast.

I'm not hungry.

He Fanxing.

Are you making him leave?

No.

What did I teach you?

Whoever comes here is our guest.

No guests in my house shall leave with empty stomachs!

Don't go.

-Stay and eat. -All right.

I can't leave now.

Enjoy your meal!

Mrs. He, I'll lend you a hand.

No need, Luming.

Have a seat. Chat with Mr. He.

Actually,

I always take simple meals when I'm busy with work.

If not for the distance, I'd love to eat here every day.

That's great, Luming.

Come over on the weekends when you're not working.

We'll eat hotpot.

-Hotpot? -Yes.

-He makes really delicious mutton balls. -Really?

When Fanxing was little, we weren't really well off.

We couldn't afford much mutton.

But the fragrance of the cooked mutton balls

would fill the house.

Many kids would find an excuse to come by and play.

But they'd block the door and wouldn't let them in.

How naughty.

It's true that numbness comes with repeated betrayal.

Mom.

I'll skip the meal. I have things to do.

This is...

Canyang.

This is Luming. Your sister's good friend.

-I've heard about you. -Nice to meet you.

Let's eat next time.

-I have to go. -Sure.

-Bye. -Take care.

Why is he rushing?

He's busy.

-Eat up, Luming. -Okay.

-Morning. -Morning.

-Morning. -Morning.

Ms. Bai.

Ms. Bai, why are so many people absent today?

I got calls this morning. Three of them suddenly fell sick.

One person's sister is in labor.

And another two were in a crash.

What a coincidence.

The Exhibition Hall

is holding a grand career fair today.

I saw some of them printing their resume yesterday.

Everyone knows

that Mr. Li's idea for an independent operation was rejected.

Those who think that they'd be dismissed

are already looking for another job.

Come with me.

All right. No problem.

See you this afternoon. Bye.

Jin.

I managed to get a client.

Are you free this afternoon?

Are you passing him over to me?

Of course.

But it's all up to you to close the deal.

That's for sure!

Here's the thing.

The company wants you to stay.

Because your designs have a personal touch.

You're quick to understand new materials and technologies

from abroad.

You also apply them adequately in your designs.

When the company merges with Aijia,

we'll need new blood.

So

if you stay, you'll be a full-timer.

Aijia will definitely offer better pay to their designers

compared to Amazing Decoration.

Do you want me to stay?

I'm only conveying the message.

It's yours to decide.

But of course,

if you choose to leave,

you can be our freelancer.

In that case,

we'll still meet.

That's unnecessary.

Yes.

It's unnecessary indeed.

And you're preparing for the TOEFL exam and to study abroad.

You'll be busy.

Okay, I'll tell the manager.

I told you I'm not studying abroad.

You've been preparing for it. Why won't you go?

It's a personal matter.

I don't have to tell you.

I got it.

You'll quit as planned then.

If there's nothing else, you may leave.

The cups are here.

What cups?

Those we made on May 20.

They've been delivered to me.

I'll bring them to you.

Throw them away.

They'll be thrown anyway.

Fine. I will throw them away.

Because I feel pain,

I'm blindly stabbing the person who caused me pain.

But after stabbing him,

the one who suffers most

is myself.

Why are you alone?

Where's your suitor?

I'm hiding here to get some peace.

But nosy people are everywhere.

What's the matter?

You're not getting along?

Not exactly.

A man like me has nothing to complain about Qingqing.

She's young,

kind and charming.

Anyone would think

that I'm one lucky bastard.

Even I thought that I would easily fall for her.

But...

Why don't I have any feelings for her?

If we could choose who we love,

there would be nothing to glorify about love.

I'd better make things clear with Qingqing soon.

Someone like me doesn't deserve her time.

You're right.

Perhaps, all women don't like wasting time.

You're the happy one.

You and Ms. He are admirable.

A secret office romance.

How exciting.

Ms. He is a catch.

But her social circle is small.

She has very few friends.

Otherwise, a brat like you wouldn't have lucked out.

Why am I talking to someone who's madly in love?

This is just torture.

Unless I win a five-million-dollar lottery,

I doubt I'll ever be happy.

I got dumped.

Are you crazy? You're sitting here?

I can't see the board from the back.

There are three students in the front row.

Let's applaud for their attentiveness in class.

Enough.

Right, before I start,

here's a brief on the upcoming test.

In a group of three,

analyze any famous painting or sculpture

with the modern art collection value and your own insight.

Do not copy from Baidu.

I'll know it.

Let's begin.

Let's go. We're free this afternoon.

Let's play Dancing Stage.

What are you on about?

We must prepare for our upcoming test.

Which painting should we choose?

Others will surely choose paintings from the European Renaissance.

What a bore.

So how about paintings

from Zhang Daqian or Xu Beihong?

Whatever. We can get information on Baidu.

Just put them together and say how you appreciate the painting.

No way. Professor He will notice that.

He's just scaring us.

Impossible.

Professor He knows a lot.

If the students can find it on Baidu, so can he.

And I must get first place for this test.

I'll make sure that Professor He sees me in a new light

and stops thinking that I'm a fool.

He's the foolish one.

Whenever he stands on the podium and smiles,

he charms all the girls.

He's a dream guy.

But when his mom chased him with a feather duster at home,

he looked really funny.

So funny.

Why are you staring at me?

Yuan Song was dumped. Did you know that?

Yes.

Are you not pursuing him?

Let's not disturb him when he's feeling down.

Melon.

Something's wrong with you.

We both know you best.

All you care about is love.

When you were courting Yuan Song, you kept talking about him.

The tides have turned.

You're into Professor He now?

How could you keep it a secret?

Why didn't I notice it before?

Are you a secret agent?

Why are you hiding here?

Who do you work for? Speak!

Enough. It has been so many days, but you won't stop.

Just cut it out.

Seeing you reminds me of the lies you and He Fanxing told me.

I still can't accept the fact that they were together.

They've already closed the chapter.

And there's a man called Ye courting Fanxing now.

Forget the bad past and move on.

I met him at home.

He looked familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere.

Anyone's fine but Yuan Song.

My student almost became my brother-in-law.

Ridiculous! I'll lose my pride!

So that's all you care about.

Of course.

I thought you were better than that.

Hello, Ms. Cai. What now?

Professor He, I have a question about relationships.

Can we meet for a chat?

Relationship problems?

I'm at Professor Song's office.

Do you want to talk to her about this?

-Was that Cai Minmin from my class? -Yes.

-What's the matter? -I don't know. She hung up.

Hey.

Since when did you two get so close?

Let me tell you.

Don't you learn from your sister.

What do you mean by that?

My sister isn't as sensible as me.

She's just simpleminded and fun to tease.

All right.

Jotting down notes from Weibo?

Collecting materials for your book?

Materials? I sure am.

KOUKOU123, PHOTO SHARING

FANFAN LOVES DANCING, PHOTO SHARING

-Professor He. -Yes?

Want a drink? My treat.

I don't want anything.

Why do you look so listless?

Right, didn't you have a relationship problem?

Tell me. See if I can help you out.

-Professor He. -Yes.

I would like to confirm something with you.

Can you please put up your hand?

Like this.

Cai Minmin.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Thank you, Professor He.

-We want something good for dinner. -That's right.

What do you want?

-Anything expensive. -Ms. He!

Yuan Song is leaving next week.

He'll buy us dinner and we'll go to karaoke.

We're throwing him a farewell party.

You go ahead. I'm not going.

No way. It's not a farewell without the boss.

That's right. You must go.

Come on.

It's not like nobody wants you there.

Or do you have something on?

No. I'll go.

Karaoke is on me.

You want to celebrate Your regained freedom

So you're partying with friends

For the friendship we've always cherished

Let's work hard for it

He says he wants to move To the furthest planet

For a holiday without love

To feast without worries

Let's go now

Let's be true to our feelings

Cry when we're sad

Sing when there's a song

Fill the emptiness in our hearts

-Take the mic! -Join the heartbreak fan club

Party all night long

We'll become kings and queens

Who will sing the next song first?

Have a malva nut

Join the heartbreak fan club

-Fill it with happiness -I'll go buy some snacks.

Our singing will drown out the sadness

Fast or slow, you're good at every song...

You said you were paying.

I'll take whatever I want.

All right.

Are you and Mr. Ye doing good?

-He's not my boyfriend. -Maybe he'll be one day.

Can you talk nicely?

Can I still court him?

That's your business.

Can you still help me court him?

What? Not anymore?

Cong Xiao.

I'll tell you one last time.

I really meant it when I helped you then.

I don't owe you nor have I wronged you.

You're not the victim.

I don't need you to thank me,

but you have no reason to blame me.

Get it? It's unfair to me.

I know!

So I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Do you accept my apology?

We're back on good terms then.

So consider this settled.

Don't regret it.

-You... -What about me?

I'm still quite sad.

As a friend, you should comfort me.

So I'll eat until you drop!

Which one costs more?

That's your apology?

Ms. He, please pay here.

That day, when I was eating with Chang Huan and Qingqing,

I suddenly realized

that my place when we were together

was the same as yours when you were with me and Mr. Ye.

Stuck in the middle.

How awkward.

We're not the same.

I only found out later.

Unlike you who pretended not to know.

I thought you enjoyed

ambiguous relationships like me.

That's why you played dumb and agreed to matchmake us

because I forced you to,

but you actually weren't happy about it.

I don't like being ambiguous.

And I'm not like you.

You're a hypocritical masochist.

That's why

yours was an unintentional mistake.

I was the shameless one.

I didn't want him,

but I wouldn't let him go either.

What have I become?

You have the guts to say that out loud.

Isn't this the dark side of your heart?

That's right.

These are words I wouldn't even say in my dreams.

Perhaps I felt terrible.

I never wanted them together.

Why don't you just follow your heart then?

Put aside your marriage partner criteria.

Since you have feelings for Chang Huan,

why make it hard for two people?

But he's not a good catch.

He's paying off a two-room suburban house loan.

He has a two-hour daily subway commute.

He is stingy, unambitious and lazy.

It's okay if we just date.

But to marry him? Think about it.

His parents are from a small town and he's their only son.

They would want a grandson to carry on the family name.

If I were to give birth to a girl, they'd want a second child.

But we wouldn't be able to afford that.

So we can only live a frugal life.

I won't even be able to afford any skincare products, nice clothes

or jewelry.

I would look like a 50-year-old at the age of 35.

When I attend class reunions,

others would pity me.

My kid wouldn't want me at parents' meetings.

No wonder people say that

when a boy is thinking whether to hold a girl's hand,

the girl would have already thought about their whole lives together.

My parents are poor. They aren't on good terms.

So they're always fighting.

I don't want to be like them.

Nothing is wrong with your criteria for a husband.

Isn't it? So what are you waiting for?

If you're smart enough, accept Ye Luming quickly.

He's a great marriage partner.

I'm not in a hurry to get married.

Why not?

Why should I?

I enjoy staying single as I am now.

Fall in love, date around.

Go with the flow.

You can wait, but not your womb.

You'll reach advanced maternal age in a few years' time.

I already am.

Advanced maternal age now, a high-risk mother later.

If you miss out on Ye Luming, you'll reach menopause.

I'll adopt a child then.

You're old enough.

Don't act like an 18-year-old innocent girl.

There are some young people

acting like a 60-year-old lady who has divorced thrice.

Help me get Ye Luming then.

Find your own way.

Let's be together forever

Spend the rest of your life with me

Yesterday's the past

Tomorrow, more memories await

Today, you'll be marrying me

Today, you'll be marrying me

Today, you'll be marrying me

Today, you'll be marrying me

-You're back. -Nice!

-These are from Ms. He. -These are all my favorites!

"ELOPE TO THE MOON"

Hey!

Cong Xiao, a song for you and Chang Huan. Your signature song.

-Actually, you... -Gosh!

I wanted to increase the volume, but I accidentally skipped it instead.

Cong Xiao, I'm sorry.

This is also my song.

I don't know this song.

I know!

I'll sing Show Lo's parts.

It's you, stop hesitating

Let's play a game
