Original subtitles

Well,

He Fanxing's boyfriend had breakfast at my house.

He had to work through the night, so he asked me to go to school...

It's true! He really came for breakfast this morning.

He had to do overtime and asked me to pick up his niece at school.

She had luggage, so I carried it for her.

That's because my sister's boyfriend's niece

is also my niece.

We're relatives. I should help her.

-I helped her. -You were just helping?

Of course. What else can it be?

He Canyang, don't give me that crap.

I know you better than your mom!

The two people you can't fool in this world

are your sister and me.

"Niece"?

Your relationships are all messed up!

I didn't mean to lie.

I'm worried that if I make it public, things will get complicated.

She's young and playful.

My passion for love is always brief.

I'm having fun with her now.

It could be months or a year at most before we break up.

That's why we both agreed to not announce our relationship

when it isn't stable.

When did you start drinking coke?

Have you considered switching universities?

What?

Didn't an art institute approach you?

You can apply for a transfer and start next term.

We're keeping this a secret.

There's no need for any transfer.

Think this through.

If I can notice it, anyone else can.

It's impossible to keep it a secret.

If you two wish to be together for a long time,

you really should apply for a transfer so that you won't be her lecturer.

Decide for yourself, I can't help much.

All right, I'll think about it.

You're not here to talk about this, are you?

In fact, you look a little upset.

There's a date displayed on the wall of the dance studio in this picture.

It was two days ago.

Someone sent this to my Weibo.

He knows I'm Shen Fanfan's wife's best friend,

he's asking me to forward it to her.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

What's the motive of the sender?

He must be from the dance studio.

I don't know his motive.

Just wait and see.

Song Xue, you're good at this!

You taught me well.

Mom, is this good?

Go easy on the fillings.

Fold it up and make sure they stick.

Now, this is finally acceptable.

Mom, Dad, I'm home!

Song Xue is here?

Miss me?

I do.

I brought Besheen Liquour for you. It's in the fridge.

I love you!

Fanxing, how is that colleague of yours doing?

I gave him a few days off.

He went home for his medical card and went to a hospital.

He'll be admitted into the hospital if he really needs surgery.

You guys continue, I'll go get changed.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

Mom, where's Dad?

Senior college has started.

He's teaching calligraphy.

I see he wants some extra income.

What about you two?

Any plans for summer break?

I need to continue my show and write a book as well.

There could be another show that I'll be in.

It's still being discussed though.

I'll work out.

When she's famous, I'll be her bodyguard.

Thanks.

Hey.

You shouldn't help.

You're hot-tempered.

The dumplings you make will be crushed instead.

The only thing I want to crush is you.

Mind your manners!

One should learn if one doesn't know.

You have to learn the right way to do it. I'll teach you.

Fold it up like this.

And then turn it over.

Lastly, stick them together.

And here comes a pretty little dumpling!

Look at this.

I know that. You've taught me before.

Fold it up like this, right?

Press it like this

and then turn it over like...

It looks a little bad,

but here comes a cute little dumpling!

What did I say?

I give up, happy now? I give up! I'm bad at this.

Calm down.

I'll teach you again.

If you marry Luming in the future,

when his family is making dumplings,

it would be such a shame if you don't know how to make them.

You think too much, Mom!

We just started dating.

It's too soon to talk about marriage.

Well, learning more skills doesn't harm anyone, right?

Mom, listen.

Don't invite Ye Luming over for dinner too often.

He'd buy things for us all the time.

I already told him that.

He just wouldn't listen.

Take yesterday for example.

He stayed up all night at the studio.

But he couldn't get any rest because he had to come here for dinner.

She cares about him so much.

She can't suppress it.

Cut it out, you two.

Driving while fatigued is dangerous.

This is about safety.

All right.

Don't worry.

I know the importance of safety.

He looked tired.

So I didn't let him go home.

I had him rest in your room.

I woke him up at noon.

And only let him leave after he had lunch.

Mom, did you even make him lunch?

You're spoiling him too much!

Mom.

You let him enter my room,

and sleep on my bed?

Yes.

I haven't changed the bedsheet. I'll change it later.

Mom!

How could you let him into my room and even sleep on my bed

without my permission?

That's my personal space!

I thought the two of you are getting along quite well.

What should I do now?

Should I get a pressure washer to clean your room thoroughly?

Mom,

we just started dating.

Now he's meeting my colleagues and parents.

He even gets to sleep on my bed whenever he wants?

If I tell you I'm marrying him tomorrow,

will you be happy? Will you approve?

Fanxing.

Fanxing,

I'm sorry.

I'll change the bedsheets right away.

That won't be necessary.

He Fanxing.

The dumplings are ready.

It smells good!

Come on.

I'll feed you.

Come on. Have a bite, come on.

Is it good?

That's right.

When one is in a bad mood, one should eat something delicious.

One would be happy when one's blood sugar rises.

Here, take it.

Good girl.

Good girl!

Such a drama queen.

Were you mad at your mom or yourself?

For me,

be it love or marriage,

it must proceed naturally.

But I feel like I'm being dragged along now.

My mom is treating him like he's my husband already.

Ye is an aggressive kind of boyfriend.

He's a good catch.

That's why you two look very compatible to everyone.

That's why we might seem pushy at times.

When you refuse to be dragged along,

you'll start resisting with the same forcefulness.

Many are dragging you along, so it must be really hard on you.

Maybe I'm the problem.

He's my boyfriend now.

I should focus on my relationship with him.

But as I move forward, I doubt myself more and more.

I'm not even sure if this is right anymore.

I've become very sensitive and quarrelsome.

Fanxing.

Don't you think you're too anxious in this relationship?

All right, don't think too much about it.

Time will tell you the answer.

How about this? Let's visit Xiaoyu later.

The pregnancy gift pack I ordered is here. Let's bring it to her.

I'll give her a call.

YANG XIAOYU

Hello, Xiaoyu. Are you home?

Song Xue and I want to visit you.

How romantic.

All right, then.

Enjoy your date with your husband.

See you soon.

Are they on a date?

She said Shen Fanfan is taking her on a date and shopping trip.

He has even arranged a candlelit dinner.

She's giving birth soon.

Shen Fanfan is cheering her up as much as he can.

-Cheer her up? -That's right.

Shen Fanfan is treating Xiaoyu so nice now.

I can finally be at ease!

Fanxing, Shen Fanfan is...

What about him?

He seems to be much better compared to the past.

That's right!

It just started.

He's grown up.

You shouldn't have ordered the bird's nest with papaya.

There's no bird's nest in it.

They skimped on ingredients, but it still costs 108 yuan.

I was afraid other things might contain additives.

Why don't we go home? Forget about the movie.

I'm worried about Peanut.

It's all right. Mom and Dad are at home, looking after her.

Look at you. You always worry about Peanut.

You only care about her, you don't love me anymore.

We've been married for so long and have two kids now.

Love is irrelevant now.

So what if we're an old couple?

Dear,

even when you're old and wrinkly,

I'll still love you.

Why are you laughing?

It's nothing.

Who is it? Why did you hang up?

It's an unknown number.

They kept calling me lately.

It might be a salesman.

See, it's an unknown number.

What's wrong? Why do you need to show me that?

You're crazy.

When does the movie start?

It starts in ten more minutes.

Dear, why don't you use the bathroom while you can?

It'll be dark when the movie starts.

It'll be hard to move around with the baby bump.

All right.

-I'll go now. -Okay.

Let me help you. Come on.

-Take it slow. -Okay.

Be careful, dear.

Hello?

Who are you?

What do you want?

Listen. I broke up with Kou.

It was an accident.

Stop harassing me, do you understand?

Hello?

Uncle, you're back.

What are you doing?

Are you all right? What did you eat?

I ate at a restaurant.

You must not have dinner yet since you're so busy.

I got your supper. I'll heat it up.

Uncle, I'll go finish mopping the floor.

Stop!

Sit.

You're acting really weird.

Let's have a chat.

All right. Let's chat! What should we chat about?

Did your boyfriend take you to that restaurant?

Yes. He even got me a lot of stuffed animals.

Look!

Did you really win the stuffed animals or actually ransacked the claw machine?

How did you know we ransacked it?

I was just kidding!

We bought them.

We spent hundreds of yuan on them.

Such cheap stuffed animals. What did you even get them for?

I like cheap toys.

Don't you like handbags,

cosmetics, and jewelry?

I'm not crazy!

My boyfriend isn't a new-rich.

Then, why did you ask me to buy those for you?

I see.

So, am I a new-rich to you?

Uncle,

don't pick on me the moment you come back, all right?

Even if he is the prince of Belgium, you still wouldn't go easy on him.

That's because I'm the apple of your eye.

Stop it!

The holidays are coming.

When will you return home? Bought your ticket yet?

I won't be returning home.

You're not?

What will you be doing then?

I have to look after my house.

Will your house be going somewhere?

It's not that.

The furniture is coming in.

Besides, Liu Zhanni got a job at a restaurant.

I'm going to work there with her as well.

-Work? -Yes.

Work? You?

Can't I work?

Sure, you can!

It's time you learned anyway.

What are the working hours?

From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

It's business hours.

Yes. Correct.

A full-time job? It'll be tough.

What restaurant is it?

I forgot the name.

It's an Italian restaurant.

The fancy kind.

Well then, the pay should be around eight to nine thousand yuan, right?

It is.

That's good.

Your aunt and I can have a meal there since you're there as well.

Sure.

There's only you and Bai in the admin department.

So after some discussion,

when we move our company, Aijia's admin department will take over.

You two will join their team.

Even though we don't have a good offer for you,

but their admin department is simpler.

You won't have to deal with everything.

You'll only be assessing attendance.

I suppose you'll be getting married soon.

This is better, you won't have to deal with much.

You said I had to take leave to help you with something important.

So, is it a house viewing?

Yes!

To common folks like us, buying a house is a huge thing.

We might be living in it for the rest of our lives.

Isn't that important?

You work in a renovation firm.

You must be experienced.

You must know things to take note,

like housing types or residential lots.

You'd know more than me.

Who else can I bring if not you?

That makes sense.

But I'm very expensive.

Tonight's fancy dinner is on you.

Okay!

Those houses are within the lake commercial area.

The lake park is at your doorstep.

This land is highly valuable.

It's very exclusive.

You'll be hard-pressed to find anything like this.

That's why there are only a few units left now.

It's on the lower ground.

It's covered in greenery too.

I'm guessing there's less sunlight overall?

Please check out the layout.

There's a patio that would help in brightening up your home.

And the inner units would be quieter and far from noise.

Based on the model, the unit is at the lowest ground level.

The patio...

There's a green walkway to the patio too.

With plants, not much sunlight will be getting in.

How about the units over there in the middle?

These?

It's all right.

It's fine if none are available. We'll check out other places.

Well...

There's a unit there that was reserved by someone just yesterday.

I'm not sure of the status. Let me ask the manager.

It's okay, we might not want it.

Sorry, I have to answer this.

Hello?

Your husband is so nice.

He's my boyfriend.

I guess he'll be your husband really soon.

He's so gentle. He must listen to you a lot.

I bet he's a family man.

It's true!

I've worked here for almost six years. I'm a great judge of character.

Gentle and obedient.

Spot on!

How many kids will you have?

We just started dating.

There's no plan yet.

Hold onto him if he's this good of a man.

He's buying a house after all. It won't be long.

No man would do this for nothing.

This is like a marriage proposal.

Have a look at the units with a garden.

You can set up swings in the yard for the kids.

Two kids, a girl and a boy, would be the best!

Where were we?

We were saying that when you have kids, they can play on the swings in the garden.

Let's take a look at the units, shall we?

Of course, please follow me.

Thanks, Dad.

How's work?

It's fine.

Be nice to your colleagues.

You're new.

Don't be too ignorant.

I know.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Be thick-skinned.

Have you been eating well?

The stores around the company are nice.

Sometimes, I cook as well.

Can you cook?

Simple dishes. I'll cook for you next time.

Meiyin told me you had a breakup?

Yes.

Who's the lady with the good handwriting?

How did you know that?

Your handmade cup has "Song Yuan" written on it.

Did she write that?

She was just playing.

She said that is my English name.

What a coincidence. That was originally your name.

Your mom wanted you to take her surname.

Neither of you has my surname.

This woman that you like isn't bad.

I heard that she's older.

That's better.

That's better.

I think so too.

She's different from the other girls I know.

Independent, capable, and so kind.

Everyone who knows her adores her.

How did you get such a good woman?

I'm outstanding myself.

Why did you get dumped then?

I was not outstanding enough.

-Is it funny? -More or less.

But I intend to win her back.

Well,

if you ever need my help, just say it.

How can you help?

As her boss, you'd order her to get back with me?

I can definitely help.

For instance, you can ask her out for dinner.

Shower her with flowers and gifts.

Or travel with her.

I can provide you with five years of funding without interest. How about that?

Forget it.

If I buy her something, she'd return twice the amount.

She'd stuff my fridge with food.

And even daily necessities too.

She likes Braised Meat, so she'd get lots of canned food as well for it.

So, she's not materialistic.

Well then,

this is difficult.

I thought you'd be against this.

Why would I?

I thought you'd want me to take over Aijia and marry a rich girl.

A political marriage or something.

Sending you to Aijia

to take over the business is definitely something beneficial.

But marriage is completely different.

No matter who you marry,

there will be risks.

I can only give my opinions on this matter.

Of course, I don't get to decide.

Communication is the only way to solve problems.

Go.

Dad,

I know you care for me.

However, I don't like management.

I like to design.

Just like Mom is into plants and you're into management.

Think about it.

If you had to switch jobs,

it would be torture for you two.

Do the things you like and make a living out of it.

You taught us that.

Yes, you're right.

Well,

if you like to design, go ahead.

You have my support.

I'm still young anyway.

You're taking over two years from now is not a big deal.

You've got a deal here.

Hey! How is that a deal?

I didn't agree to anything! You're so stubborn!

Mr. Ye, you've viewed the house.

This residential type is our best property.

Only a dozen units have the best view.

Your house needs a down payment of 50 percent.

After tax...

This will be the price.

When will I get the house?

It's a pre-made house.

It's in the final stages and will be ready in September.

If you buy it now, you can already hire a renovation company to work with.

We have three renovation partners.

They're offering great renovation packages for owners.

There's no need for that. My girlfriend is in this field.

Which company is it?

Amazing Decoration.

Amazing Decoration? Amazing Decoration is one of our partners!

Are you a designer?

I'm in administration.

I know Zeng from your company very well.

Is her baby due soon?

In a few more months.

He Fanxing,

you look like a mushroom that just sprouted on the couch.

You just viewed houses with your boyfriend.

Do you have any idea how expensive they are?

Moreover, he didn't say he would put your name on the property license.

So why are you so nervous?

But then again,

if he's willing to put my name on it, even I would marry him.

What?

He Canyang, I might need to live off you.

What?

If I resign, I'll live off you.

Are you thinking of resigning?

Are they firing you?

I just want to quit.

No.

I just feel like the world outside this blanket

seems so strange.

Aren't you hot?

I can take it!

Come on, Fanxing. It's July!

-He Canyang! -Are you covering up rashes?

Give me back my blanket!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! Please let me go! I'll give it back!

Why are you still working?

I have nothing to do anyway.

Why are you even here? It's so late.

I was meeting a client, so I decided to drop by.

When is the surgery?

Tomorrow afternoon.

Have you started fasting?

I thought I'd peel you an apple.

It's all right.

It's just a minor surgery.

I'll be good as new after two days on IV drips.

Who's that?

My mom.

Is she your friend?

Mom, this is my colleague, Cong Xiao.

This is my mom.

Hello, ma'am. I'm Cong Xiao.

"She smiles among flowers." That's a good name.

You're so pretty too.

So are you.

I'm old, I'm not pretty anymore.

Here, have a yogurt.

It's just something simple.

Thank you, ma'am. I love drinking yogurt.

Son, you two carry on. I'll go watch TV next door.

-Okay, Mom. -See you, ma'am.

Your mom is very friendly.

Of course.

Mission accomplished.

What happened?

Are you all slacking off?

What?

Which stage are you and Mr. Ye at now?

Hurry up and tell us the truth.

Speak the truth.

We might go easy on you.

What about it? What are you talking about?

Congratulations!

I think the whole company already knows.

You're getting married!

Getting married? With who?

Who applied for leave yesterday afternoon to view houses with Mr. Ye?

Zeng told us.

There was a property consultant who was working on your purchase.

The consultant.

You wouldn't even take a day off when you're sick.

Yet, you took a day off to go house viewing.

Are you pregnant?

Really? Congratulations! You're a mother!

That's nonsense.

I'm neither pregnant nor getting married. Nothing is going on!

Then why did you go house viewing?

He wanted to buy a house.

I just accompanied him and gave suggestions.

He's buying a house. It has nothing to do with me.

That's a disappointment.

I told you, it wouldn't be so fast.

No, it sure has something to do with you.

When a man takes his girlfriend to view houses,

it's an obvious hint.

"I want you to be a part of my present and future!"

Nonsense. He doesn't think like that.

No way.

If I think like that, Mr. Ye must be the same!

Mr. Ye is really caring. He makes me feel so secure!

If you propose to put your name on the house,

Mr. Ye would say yes for sure!

That's after they're married!

Only then would it be a joint property.

Both of you will be secured then.

Cut it out.

That house costs millions of yuan.

Are you crazy?

Bai is right.

You're honest and not cunning at all.

If he can keep you with a house, that's a great deal!

You guys carry on without me.

She's shy.

That's right!

They'll get married soon for sure!

That's right.

I heard that

you're pregnant.

CHARCOAL FIRE ROAST MEAT XIANG ZHANG GARDEN

Delicious. It's nice to be served by a superior.

What's wrong?

You're the one who said you'll make it up to me and I can order anything.

It was all because of that nonsense! Can't you tell it was a baseless rumor?

No.

I thought the baby was mine.

Are you trying to get beaten up?

I'm just kidding.

That's not funny.

Okay, I was wrong. Go on.

Do it yourself!

You're so fierce, no man will marry you.

Yuan Song, that line was used

to threaten women of the older generation.

Women nowadays don't see marriage as their life's objective. Okay?

So you do know how good I am, right?

That old fox only wants to tie you up.

You two just got together, but have already gone house viewing.

He's clearly forcing you.

Says who?

You just won't shut up.

Talk to him like this if you dare.

The problem is I can't even be mad at him.

He just wanted me to help him view houses.

You really shouldn't get into a relationship.

You even need a reason to be mad at him.

You're too sensible. You look smart, but you're actually a fool.

Where's your wisdom?

There's nothing in your brain

or in your looks!

You're just like a fresh college graduate.

Eat more!

You're skin and bones.

You've become so rude to me!

You weren't like this before.

You were much better.

If you demand respect, then be respectable.

You're not any better.

By the way, I'll be having dinner at your home.

For what?

I'm picking up Braised Meat.

Why are you staying for dinner then?

When I called Professor He, your mom was there.

She found out I'm going there, so she asked me to come for dinner.

Then don't eat this.

You'll be eating tonight, stop eating.

I'm hungry!

Then eat it now and not tonight.

You can't stop me!

You just don't get fat.

I just don't, do you envy me?

I've sent the sponsor to his car.

Let's go, Luming.

All right.

SUCHENG DINER

Ma'am!

Sorry, I was caught in traffic.

How long has he been there?

He just went in.

Why are you here? What about work?

It's fine, my leave has been approved.

You're alone here, I was worried.

Thank you so much.

It's all right.

Chang Huan was a naughty kid.

He loved playing video games and frequented cybercafes.

If he went there, he wouldn't come home.

Whenever the teacher went there to look for students, he'd be there.

It's been hard on us. His dad and I were teachers.

We'd play rock-paper-scissors and the winner would pick him up.

Shouldn't the loser pick him up?

The loser would be the one in a bad mood.

You'd have to face your colleagues when you pick him up.

So, the winner shall happily go instead.

How did he get into university?

When Chang Huan was in Grade 11, his dad was very ill.

The hospital issued a critical illness notice.

His dad called him up and gave him his last words.

He told Chang Huan that if he passed, he has to take care of me.

What happened after that?

His dad was lucky, he recovered.

He seemed to have been enlightened since then.

He stopped gaming and studied hard.

But his grasp of the basics was terrible.

So he learned drawing and studied art instead.

So, Chang Huan is a person who needs to be enlightened.

That's right. He's working so hard now.

Perhaps he was enlightened again.

Both his dad and I have our pensions.

We live in a small town. The expenses are low.

We don't spend a lot.

We can even support him.

He has even bought a house.

But he still plans to buy a bigger house with a view of a river.

So, we thought he might have fallen for a girl

who thinks he's lazy and unambitious.
