Melon, what are you doing?

Let's get to work.

I took some photos to be posted on WeChat Moment.

It's so much fun.

So many kids came to see me.

It was fun, right?

That's good.

Our mission today is to give out flyers in front of the restaurant,

take photos with people, and play with kids.

I like to take photos with people!

Look at me.

Do I look funny?

As long as you're happy.

Hurry, let's get to work.

Let's go.

Here.

This is cooling.

How do you feel?

We'll continue after a ten-minute break.

What?

It's so hot being stuffed in this mascot suit.

It has been almost an hour. We're almost done for the morning, right?

It's only 10:30 a.m.!

We have to work until 12 p.m.

Another hour and a half?

Hey.

There's nothing easy in the adults' world.

Come in.

I just finished a meeting with Mr. Li.

Let's have lunch together?

Sure.

I heard that you're tying the knot soon?

No.

Everyone has been asking me this question lately.

This rumor has gotten out of hand.

Didn't you already go on a house viewing together?

I was just keeping him company.

Some women require a feeling of impulse to get married.

When I decided to marry Yuan Song's dad,

I was also madly in love.

I thought you were the same.

I'm waiting for that impulsive feeling too,

but I have yet to feel it.

Did you feel it with Yuan Song?

I'm sorry.

You should apologize.

I think you were unfair to Yuan Song.

When you two were together,

you didn't fully commit yourself.

You cared too much about what others think.

But I couldn't help it.

I understand.

Humans are gregarious.

The main reason you couldn't fully commit was because you thought

your relationship wouldn't last.

So you didn't want to face other people's opinions

towards a short-lived relationship.

As for Yuan Song,

he doesn't know how to manage

a long-lasting and stable relationship.

He's too young.

To him, his plans couldn't keep up with the changes that were happening.

He was just enjoying the moment.

So you two made many mistakes.

If we were both wrong,

one of us must have committed greater mistakes.

It was me.

I'm older,

so I should have been more forgiving.

You should have trusted him

and given him time to grow.

Then--

He will surely meet someone

who is more compatible with him than me.

I never expected

that I would think of compatibility

as something that comes naturally one day.

Of course.

Most people would think that an embedded type of relationship

is the most stable and safest one.

A key to a lock, a pot to a lid,

a man to a woman.

But how is compatibility related to love?

Even if you don't look compatible together,

Yuan Song still tried to get close to you

and you tried your best to resist being attracted to him.

Yet you couldn't deny it.

That is love.

Ye Luming is a nice guy.

We're compatible.

My parents like him too.

I think

I have never met anyone who is more compatible with me than him.

If things go well

and we get married,

we should be very happy.

So?

I'm just a normal person...

and compatibility is a choice made by those who are normal

after considering the pros and cons in order to live a carefree life.

So...

I want to develop feelings with a compatible man

and live like a normal person.

On the contrary,

I think a carefree life

is the ultimate dream

on the premise that it's achievable.

I was just curious.

Let's end the topic here.

Help yourself.

Ten minutes left before I get off work.

Do you want Spanish or French for dinner tonight?

I have to visit a colleague at the hospital tonight.

Should I come with you?

I'm going with other colleagues.

Then tomorrow at noon, Spanish or French?

Let's go, He Fanxing.

Okay.

Huanhuan told me that his boss treats him well.

Now that I see you, you are very pretty too.

I'm not, Mrs. Chang. Stop praising me.

Why are you being humble? You're pretty.

It has been hard on you, Xiaoxiao.

You have helped me a lot.

You took turns with me in taking care of Huanhuan.

It's nothing, Mrs. Chang.

You don't have to worry about it.

Yes, Mom.

She would usually kick me.

Therefore, she should take care of me when I'm sick.

Did you do something wrong to get kicked?

No, Mom.

Of course, he did.

You have no idea how lazy he is every day.

He looks like he's sleepwalking at work.

If I hadn't kicked his chair,

Ms. He would have deducted his salary

and he wouldn't be able to pay for his house loan.

Xiaoxiao, please do me a favor and kick him more.

-Of course. -Mom!

Can you hear that? She wants me to kick you more.

One is Huanhuan, while the other is Xiaoxiao.

What a perfect match.

Hey.

Why don't you get married?

-Yuan Song! -What are you talking about?

Be careful, son.

-Come, let's go. -We want to play! It's a bear!

Minmin!

Minmin!

Minmin!

What's wrong?

Hang on, we'll be off work soon.

What is it?

I...

-I have to go to the toilet! -Hey!

Hey!

I won't make it!

I won't make it in time!

Help, Zhanni!

It's coming out!

-I'm coming! -Zhanni!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Hey.

It feels like Chang Huan's mom treats you like her daughter-in-law.

It's because I'm lovable.

What's wrong with that?

It's nothing, congratulations.

When did you two go into couple mode?

One peeled the orange and the other ate it.

One serves the food and the other eats.

Can't we be close?

Of course, you can.

Are you sure you're not captivated by Ms. He?

I'm sure Ms. He looks really attractive to young boys like you.

Of course.

She's the girl of my dreams.

Did you hear that?

Will you consider him?

Are you guys going to eat or not?

Okay, I'll stop joking.

You have Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye is pursuing you so avidly.

I bet that he will have you within a year.

Doesn't he have her already?

What else should he do?

Lock her away?

What I meant is that Mr. Ye's family seems anxious

and they're very pleased with Ms. He too.

They would want them to get married soon.

He's already 37.

He must be anxious to have children.

Let's not talk about this topic right now.

Don't avoid the topic.

Let me give you some advice as a friend.

It's good to be pregnant earlier.

The air quality is not good now, the same goes with the quality of food.

Watch out for early ovarian aging.

If early pregnancy is good,

shouldn't you support the college kids to do so?

Their workload isn't heavy and they have good stamina.

They can focus on work after giving birth and graduating from school.

Those who are poor can have one, those who are rich can have two.

Don't we have to watch out for ovarian aging?

Are you nuts?

Why are you suddenly being sarcastic?

It's because what you said isn't right.

It doesn't comply with core socialist values.

First, it violates freedom and equality.

It's a form of abduction and mental stress.

"Abduction"?

Good advice is unpleasant to the ears.

It's unpleasant indeed, but it's not good advice.

I didn't realize that you're so argumentative.

Why are you so agitated?

Do you really have a secret crush on Ms. He?

Yes, I have a secret crush on her.

So it is true.

Are you serious?

Cong Xiao, please pay the bill.

-Come with me, Yuan Song. -What?

What?

Hey, don't tell anyone about this.

I'll buy you a meal next time.

Okay.

Fine.

I was too agitated earlier.

Scold me if you're mad, but don't leave me hanging.

Look.

You always have this facial expression lately.

If there's something you can't figure out, just say it.

Why do you keep silent?

I have passed the age of being outspoken.

I always think that I live in the past.

Everyone's time is moving forward.

Just like how the seasons change

and how crops are planted, grown, then harvested.

I am the only one who remains where I am and refuses to grow.

I even have the desire to get into useless relationships.

I keep useless hobbies

and never reconciled.

I'm unconventional and independent.

I thought I was special.

But in fact,

I am just an average girl who is selfish and weak.

I don't understand what you mean.

In words, I said I'll follow my heart,

but in my actions, I have been calculating the pros and cons.

I want a carefree life.

But how can things be carefree in this world?

I'm just running from reality.

It's shameful

and useless too.

Isn't there such a saying?

"Humans...

often end up living the way they hate the most."

I am not in the mood for your jokes.

Scold me if you're mad.

But I'm not sorry!

I don't want to go back to being friends.

I was lying when I said that.

How can you be stupid enough to believe a man's words?

I came back to work because I can't accept it.

I want to hang around you and win you back.

I never planned to let you be with someone else.

I don't care how hard it is for you, how much your parents like him,

or how compatible you are.

I will never back down.

I won't wish you two well either.

I like you.

So what?

I like you. Am I not allowed to do so?

I know.

What do you know? You know nothing!

You don't know how serious I am, how clear this is for me,

how important you are, and how much I like you.

It's different now.

I want to face everything in the future with you.

But we can't do that.

"No", "We can't", "It's not good."

Why are you so used to saying, "No"?

From now on, say that you can.

Say yes!

Say that it's good! Say that you like me!

Yuan Song.

Calm down.

Listen to me, okay?

I know

that I am always in your heart.

I know that you cherish me.

So do I.

I even enjoy your attention.

My mind tells me that we should keep our distance.

But in my heart...

I still enjoy flirting and the feelings that remain between us.

I have been fighting with myself

and both sides have lost greatly.

But we can't go on this way.

It's too tiring.

Do you know how wrong this is?

You admitted it.

You still like me.

But I can't risk it.

I used to think

that I could ignore other people's opinions.

But when it really happened to me, I realized...

that I wasn't as brave as I thought.

So I kept backing down...

until I was willing to try dating Ye Luming.

Still, I never tried hard enough.

Every time he moves forward, I back off.

It's not fair to him.

Besides,

I want to find a way out for my heart.

You said that you like me,

yet you're asking me to let go?

I'll repeat what I said.

Stop it!

I understand it very well.

You're very weak indeed.

A two-faced coward.

So stop wasting time on me.

I'll get going.

Fine.

I can't stop liking you now.

I have decided to love you one-sidedly.

You can ignore me.

Hey, you've been staring at it for a whole day.

Does a 200-yuan bill have gold outlines?

This is my first hard-earned money.

I really thought that I would die from heat

or suffocation in the mascot suit.

Today is more tiring than a whole year combined

and I only earned 200 yuan.

It turns out that money is so hard to earn.

That's right.

Giving out flyers in a mascot suit is very tiring.

But to part-timers like us, earning 200 yuan a day is a lot.

We're also being paid daily, so it's really worth it!

How do you and Big Head endure it?

We think about our parents.

If we can support ourselves, then they can relax a little.

Eventually, after graduation, we still have to support ourselves, right?

Do we really have to depend on ourselves to survive?

Yes, I think so.

One's confidence lies

in having other people's support when he falls.

You have your parents and uncle's support.

But have you thought about this?

What if they were to fall one day and there's no one to support you?

Zhanni.

You're so mature.

I never thought about these things before.

That's normal.

Don't worry, you will grow up.

I told my uncle that I'm a waitress and I earn 8,000 yuan a month.

Your uncle had to know it was a lie from the get-go.

It's so ridiculous.

You should tell him the truth.

Why did I lie?

Serves you right.

This is my first bucket of gold.

I have to spend it on the people I love.

What should I buy for Uncle and Ms. He?

With 200 yuan?

Buy some decor in a boutique.

This 200 yuan is my hard-earned money.

Do you want me to buy cheap plastics?

Buy them a meal then.

But you can't go to expensive places.

Burgers and coke will do.

Then this will all be gone.

What else can you do with 200 yuan?

Why don't you work for a few more days and earn 1,000 or 800 yen?

You might be able to buy a shirt or something.

But if you want to buy a tie clip or cufflinks,

you might need to stay here for the entire summer.

Forget it.

Forget what I said.

I bet you don't want to see that mascot suit again.

Why don't we eat Spanish food tomorrow?

You're home.

Uncle.

Yes.

I went to work today.

Did you see my WeChat Moment?

I did.

Don't you work every day?

No.

I lied.

I...

I didn't go home so that I can go on dates.

I shouldn't have lied.

Why did you work today then?

My classmate had a driving test, so I replaced him.

How did you feel?

Very tiring.

It's hard to earn money.

I spent so much money

on useless things.

I have been eating good food and wearing nice clothes.

God knows how much effort you'll need to earn the money back.

It's stuffy and hot in the mascot suit, right?

I can smell your stench from here.

I'm the one who is in the wrong, Uncle.

Hit me.

Tell me.

Why am I mad at you?

Why?

It's because I lied to you.

I'm mad because you lied to your family for a man.

Stretch out your hand.

You're an adult now.

You need to learn and be responsible for yourself.

You admitted your mistake.

It means that you're not that dumb to deserve to be hit.

Go take a bath.

This is for you.

What is it?

I can't buy anything

with my first hard-earned money.

In the future,

I'll buy you something nice.

100 YUAN

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Fanxing!

Hey!

Is Xiaoyu going to give birth prematurely?

I don't think so.

Let's go.

Don't worry, Fanfan.

I already called Song Xue and Fanxing.

You can come after work.

If she gives birth, it will be tonight.

Okay.

That's all.

How do you feel?

Do you feel anything?

What did he say?

He's with a client.

He'll come once he is done.

Xiaoyu!

-Mrs. Yang. -You're here.

How's Xiaoyu?

The doctor told her to walk more so she can give birth easier.

I need to rush home to pack. A lot of her things aren't here yet.

Okay, we'll take care of her here.

Don't worry, Mrs. Yang.

Canyang is coming.

-I'll get going, Xiaoyu. -Okay.

Hold this.

-Thank you. -Take care, Mrs. Yang.

How are you?

Should we take a walk?

Come.

Song Xue.

Come here.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Take it slow, don't rush.

It's just a short distance.

During my pregnancy, I don't live like a queen.

No one served me.

I do the household chores and take care of Peanut.

I...

-Hey. -Hey.

How do you feel?

Be careful.

In recent months,

he had an affair

and felt guilty.

He totally changed.

He did all the chores at home.

Since you have decided to forgive and stay with him,

stop saying these things.

It's bad for your relationship.

I made you angry last time.

And I was so dumb.

-Why do you still care? -I won't after you give birth.

Gosh.

Why are you mad at Xiaoyu?

You know how outspoken and imperious she is towards her friends.

That's right.

Are you really mad?

I'll apologize to you.

Who wants your apology?

Even though you're dumb, some of your words made sense.

I should have given it more thought.

But it has nothing to do with Fanxing.

She didn't know.

Who says it has nothing to do with me?

I was the impulsive one.

I took you to see Xiaoyu.

I threw the coffee too.

I even hit him.

Did you hit him?

Gosh, take it slow.

Don't be agitated.

Are you okay?

He Fanxing.

I'm right about you.

Professor Song.

You're just a paper tiger.

What do you mean, Yang Xiaoyu?

Don't tell me you didn't divorce Shen Fanfan just for revenge?

No.

Back then, I was just trying

to get through these few years and see what happens.

Actually...

Among the three of us,

I was the first to find out.

That was three months ago.

Peanut, you're playing with Dad's phone again.

He'll be angry.

Give it to me.

Mom, I want to play Taptap!

Play with mine then.

Here.

Play on your own.

DAD

You're just in time.

Dad is calling.

Why does your dad call so often lately and talk so long with you?

Aside from scolding me, what else can he say?

I'll take it inside.

-Do you play this well? -Yes.

Let Mom answer the call first.

FATHER-IN-LAW

Hi, Dad.

I read an article online

saying that women look upon men

like teachers standing on the podium and seeing students cheat.

You can see it very clearly.

His energy at home

was getting weaker and weaker.

He was quiet

and kept zoning out.

He contained his joy so hard when he was looking at his phone.

If you were to call out his name back then,

it was like waking him up from his dream.

Doesn't everyone's facial expression look similar when they're in love?

But you kept it to yourself.

Why didn't you tell us?

Do you really think that we'll force you to divorce him?

I felt embarrassed.

Why do my friends live so well,

the way I want to live myself,

but I lead such a sad life?

I don't even dare to leave my man.

I never wanted to let you know.

But I know that deep inside,

how worried and sad you guys are for my sake.

However,

when you guys brought him to me,

any pride that's left in me was all gone.

I'm sorry then.

Goodness, I was wrong.

Are you really angry at me?

I really regret treating you guys that way.

I learned my lesson too.

The past few days have been really hard on me.

It was even harder than when he cheated on me.

Then you should control yourself.

I can't!

That's why I need you to teach me, Professor Song.

Look.

After talking with you two,

my tummy doesn't hurt anymore.

Stop being a smartass.

You two are still arguing at a time like this.

How can she be mad at you?

I know.

Neither can you.

You're the sweetheart dean with a whip.

What kind of weird movie did you watch again?

That's enough, you two.

Be serious.

-Xiaoyu. -Yes?

No matter what decision you make, we will always support you.

That's right.

What can I do?

I knew you were dumb from the first time we met.

Three hours ago, I was thinking

that without love,

our marriage can still be sustained with kinship.

Aside from not loving me,

Shen Fanfan is not bad.

He gives me his pay and treats Peanut well.

What else can I ask for?

Well...

Those who live depending on others

really keep lowering their expectations in life.

If I keep going on this way,

will I become less and less humane?

-What are you talking about? -You won't.

-Does it hurt again? -Let's go.

Let's sit on the bench over there.

-Be careful. -Take it slow.

Be careful.

-It's okay. -Take it slow.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

However, I am cunning too.

They didn't dare to use Wechat,

but used new QQ IDs to message each other.

During the past few months,

I downloaded all their chat records.

But I didn't dare to read through them.

Until this morning.

My curiosity

won over my rationality.

Dear.

Just leave it. Mom is coming over soon.

Okay.

By the way, I'm meeting a client tonight.

I'll be back late.

Okay.

I'm really meeting a client.

I'll send you my location.

I believe you.

Dear, I have really changed.

All right.

Peanut will be late.

Go.

I'll get going, dear.

Come, Peanut.

Leave the doll.

-Say goodbye to Mom. -Bye, Mom.

-Bye, sweetheart. -Let's go.

We'll get going, dear.

You're so beautiful today.

I'm at home.

I really want to see you.

Love you, baby.

I'll take Peanut to the studio today.

She can be my cover.

Peanut really likes you.

I no longer love my wife.

We're doing this for our child.

Even if there's no love, we still have our responsibilities.

I quarreled with her today.

What a crazy woman.

I was so dumb to date her when I was young.

You're so modest.

If it were my wife, she would even swallow the bowl.

She needs to see how fat she is.

You didn't see her tummy.

It's really scary.

It's like a swamp.

It'll sink by touch.

Hers are not breasts, those are hot water bags.

Her eight-month pregnant body is disgusting.

It's just like a bloated toad.
