Original subtitles

So has your family fallen apart now?

You didn't hear what He Canyang said to me.

You'd want to sever ties with him and publish that in a newspaper.

Is public announcement still a thing?

Reality TV mediation shows are a thing now.

Fanxing's family matter is quite suitable to be shown on TV.

It'll get high ratings.

If He Fanxing would do it,

I can call the director now.

Hurry.

Enough, you two.

Stop creating trouble.

I have enough of them.

But I think that

He Canyang getting angry

is just like Baylor barking.

That's just how he is.

When he's happy, he'll be nice.

Otherwise, he'll bare his teeth.

I know.

I'm just feeling upset.

After my dad fell sick,

I've felt really terrible.

It's like my life is a mess.

I can't get back on track.

I even made Ye angry today.

What happened?

I don't know.

Your boyfriend is angry, but you don't know why.

He should be angry about that.

Is it because

we met Yuan Song this afternoon?

And that upset him?

Yuan Song?

He even thought I was angry.

What are you talking about?

Who was angry? You or him?

No.

We had lunch near the office.

We bumped into Yuan Song

and a female colleague from the headquarters.

They looked good together.

Yuan Song was quite friendly towards Ye.

He didn't give him the death stare anymore.

This should mean that he has let go.

I think it's good.

That's why I said,

"Whoever meets a girl like her

would definitely let go of an old woman like me."

And Ye said I was angry.

But I wasn't.

I was telling the truth.

It does sound like an angry remark.

That's right.

You do sound a little mad.

How does it sound so?

That's not all. You are mad.

But you still don't realize it, do you?

Fanxing is slow.

But Ye is not.

Maybe...

I'm lacking sleep lately. That's why I'm grumpy.

After I've resigned, I have so much free time,

but I haven't slept well.

This is what happens when you're in denial.

You tried to develop a deep connection with Ye for marriage.

And you tried hard.

But you can't see progress, so you're getting anxious.

Now, the reason has been found.

You're jealous of a colleague

who was having lunch with your ex-boyfriend.

Jealous?

I was just a little unhappy about it.

That wasn't jealousy.

It was.

You're jealous because you still love him.

He Fanxing, you are trapping yourself.

You love him, but you're trying to love someone else.

You're causing pain to the three of you.

-I-- -Don't explain.

You can't hide love.

You just fed him. Why is he crying?

He's either hungry or having a stomachache.

Gosh.

The thought of a baby's poop makes me want to puke.

You're not even there yet.

Don't cry, baby.

My darling.

Stop crying, my baby.

DAD

TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO AFTER A BREAKUP

Gosh.

Dad, are you not busy lately?

Hi.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

I am.

Then stop sending me those annoying articles.

But they have over 100,000 views. I took forever to find them.

Well, stop it. It doesn't help.

I see. Okay.

But thanks for your concern anyway.

No big deal.

You can tell me anything.

But Ye Luming is so awful.

I've told him I won't drink with him anymore.

-Aren't you close friends? -Not anymore.

Anyway, we're done.

Dad, actually,

just live your own life.

I'm doing fine.

No way.

I can't swallow the anger.

It's okay if he wins in pool.

But he bullied my son!

I can't allow that.

Dad.

To me, it's already in the past.

-It's in the past? -Yes.

Looks like Luo is quite attractive.

Luo?

That's right, Luo Wenyue.

Aren't you two always together?

We're just colleagues.

Is she not into you?

It can't be.

She should know that you're my son.

I'm trying to say that I think Luo suits you better.

The way she works is like Meiyin.

She can help you run the company in the future.

You don't have to be an architect.

Marrying an architect as your wife is also an option.

Stubborn.

Xingxing.

You don't look good.

Are you not feeling well?

No.

Eat more.

This red one. The lung.

What lung?

Goat liver.

This is goat liver.

-Right, goat liver. Have some. -Goodness.

Mom.

I'll take some food to Canyang, okay?

Who are you taking food to?

Mom, don't do that.

This is unfair to Canyang.

Minmin is already an adult.

Let them work it out themselves.

Work it out themselves?

How can Canyang be so senseless?

If Caiwei finds out, she'll come knocking at my door.

I agree with your mom.

Canyang is more than ten years older

than Minmin.

There'll be a gap in maturity

and there is a greater responsibility.

Did Luming find out too?

See?

No wonder he no longer visits us.

No way.

I need to apologize to him properly.

Mom, why would you apologize?

-He didn't say anything. -Yes, he didn't.

But would he feel any better?

Hello, Cong Xiao.

Okay, I'll wait for you at home.

All right.

My colleague wants to visit Dad.

No need. I'm fine.

-Tell them not to bring gifts. -All right.

I'll clean up the house.

Eat more.

You're too skinny. Don't try to lose weight.

I know. I'm full.

Coming!

Is that your colleague?

Hi.

-Luming! -Mrs. He.

Come in.

Didn't you say you would come for dinner?

But why are you...

The supplements my sister bought have arrived.

I was free, so I came.

Are Fanxing's colleagues coming?

Yes, to visit her dad.

You always bring us gifts.

Don't worry. They don't cost much.

-Luming! -Yes?

Luming, come here.

Take a seat.

-I'll show you something. -Yes?

Make some tea.

Look at my wristband.

High technology nowadays is really helpful.

It has GPS.

It's waterproof. I don't need to remove it.

Most importantly, I don't have to worry that I'll get lost.

-You won't get lost again. -Yes.

Mrs. He should get one too.

Well, after Fanxing bought me one,

Canyang bought one for me too.

I told him to give it to his mom.

What's the matter?

Luming.

-I'm really sorry. -What?

We never expected this to happen.

But Canyang is not the kind of person

who plays with people's feelings.

He's just tactless

when it comes to love.

Don't worry. We're against it.

Canyang is much older than Minmin.

It's his fault. It's his bad.

Mrs. He, don't say that.

Both of you are nice people.

I trust his character.

But I'm with Fanxing now.

If my sister learns this,

she won't accept them.

It's not always the older one in a relationship that's at fault.

Both sides are responsible for their relationship.

So...

Just go with the flow.

I feel so sorry towards your family.

Don't say that.

Minmin has grown up. She has her opinions.

Before I could say much,

she got mad and moved to her friend's place.

That's why,

when it comes to love,

no one is in control.

We're running out of fruits and snacks.

Let's go to the market.

Sure.

Mr. and Mrs. He, we'll go to the market.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I was at fault yesterday.

What did you do?

I was upset and made an angry remark.

And you noticed that.

That's why you were mad.

I was.

But actually, I shouldn't be mad at you.

I asked for it.

No. It was my fault.

I'm serious.

I asked for it.

I knew you wanted your ex to let you go.

But I used it

as an excuse so that you would date me

and get into a new relationship to get past the old one.

No.

I didn't feel used.

Even if that's the case, I was the one who used you.

I thought

after we got together,

you would find that

I'm better than the rest.

And that I would be best

at making you happy.

That isn't the hard part.

The hard part

is making you fall for me.

I think we're pretty good together.

That's because you're nice to friends.

Didn't you notice?

You were happier when we were only friends.

So?

What are you trying to say?

When it comes to work, if I don't get any returns,

I'll stop investing.

The same goes for relationships.

Although I was the one who asked for it.

It was all my idea. It's all because of me.

But after I've taken 99 steps towards you,

you should be the one to take

that one last step towards me.

One month.

If it doesn't work between us,

let's forget it.

How about fruits?

Just one step.

Just that one step.

The apples look good. Let's get apples.

Okay.

-It's not bad. -Take more.

Hello, Mom.

Have they arrived?

I'll be right back.

-Have they arrived? -Let's go.

Mr. He, you look better now.

Not as good as you guys.

Ms. He.

-You're all here. -Yes.

Mr. Ye is here too? How sweet.

I happened to be free.

-Give it to them. -All right.

Thanks for coming on a weekend.

Not at all. We should have visited Mr. He long ago.

-Sit down. -Sit.

We're going bowling later.

-You should come. -Exactly.

We're so daring now

since you're no longer our superior!

I'm really curious.

Is Fanxing annoying

when she's in the office?

Like a plowing cow who only goes in a straight line.

No, she's really nice.

Our male colleagues loved looking at her.

Really? They loved looking at her?

Then why have none of her male colleagues courted her?

Mrs. He, the thing is, she isn't interested in us.

What did you say?

Where's your respect?

Now that I'm no longer your superior, you're edging me out?

I can bear witness. She's really not interested in us.

Mr. and Mrs. He.

I have a meeting. I have to go.

You have a meeting?

I'll see you off.

No, stay and accompany them.

See you.

How sweet.

I'll cut some fruits.

-Have some water. -Okay.

After you.

I will wipe you out!

How scary!

They were almost wiped out.

I'll wipe you out first.

-It's slippery. -Don't move!

-Watch out! -Stay still!

Where are you going?

-Let's add another person. -Who?

Luo Wenyue is around. Let's ask her to join us.

Okay.

Why don't the three of us go?

You can play alone.

Yuan Song asked her. Why are you scolding me?

Why?

Your eyes were shining when you heard that she was coming.

-There's no such thing. -They're men.

They're visually inclined.

It's okay. The more, the merrier.

Even Ms. He said it.

My turn.

Hello.

Yes, the private room.

She's here.

Why? You don't like her?

I'm fine with her, but Cong Xiao doesn't like her.

It's a war between beauties.

Hello, we meet again.

Hi.

Am I intruding to show up here all of a sudden?

No. The more, the merrier.

Join in the fun.

Can you bowl?

To be frank, I'm not good at sports.

I lack coordination.

Yuan Song, teach me.

I don't really know how either.

It's okay, let's play together.

That's right.

Let's get into teams.

Losers will pay for the meal.

You and Yuan Song can be in a team.

Hey. I'll be with Ms. He.

Find someone else.

Well, the remaining two shall form a team.

Hey, what do you mean?

Hey, what's with them?

They're into each other.

Everyone knows that they have a thing.

It's somehow delightful.

But ever since Luo Wenyue's appearance,

the balance has been ruined.

Yuan Song, Chang Huan and Luo Wenyue are working together

on the homestay project.

Although Luo Wenyue seems closer to Yuan Song,

But Chang Huan always joins them

very naturally.

That's why Cong Xiao is very jealous.

Look at Luo Wenyue.

She looks innocent, but she is wild at heart.

It's more than the art of seduction.

She's a femme fatale.

Yuan Song is single anyway.

How could you say that?

I feel like my man has been stolen!

Like this?

Hey, when did he become yours?

Hurry. Are you done warming up?

Who goes first?

Me.

Go for it.

It's fine if you quarrel with your parents

since your sister can be the mediator.

But you offended her too.

You're over 30 years old.

Can't you be more mature?

Have you made up with your uncle since you're so mature?

Not yet.

I thought he'd be worried if I left home

and stopped posting updates.

He could come to my workplace or ask Zhanni about me.

He has Zhanni's contact.

But he didn't come.

He didn't even call me, let alone see me!

Since he's so patient,

you can only go home and apologize.

No way.

I'm going against the world for my love.

Cut it out!

Are you delusional?

Who knows about you? Against the world?

Don't mock me.

I want to make up with my uncle.

But I left home with such grit.

If I returned by myself, it would be embarrassing.

I have an idea.

Let's just go home and pretend like nothing happened.

When a family fights,

we always regret the mean words we say.

We hope to be given a way out, right?

So the more impatient person will be the one to do that.

The other person will think that they've gained the upper hand

and let things slide.

-How do we do that? -We'll just go home.

Pretend that we forgot,

as if we had never left home.

We only went to our friend's houses.

Go home for dinner as usual.

We're Chinese.

Everything can be solved over a meal.

What if my uncle gets sarcastic with me?

Then call him out as being petty

to bear grudges with his family.

Okay. Professor He, you're amazing.

That's nothing.

It all comes from life experiences.

I'll go home now.

I'll get everything ready before he comes home.

I'll take the initiative and gain the upper hand.

What a fast learner.

You're worth teaching.

Go now!

Not bad, Luo Wenyue.

The score is almost tied between Yuan Song and us.

Looks like Ms. He and Bai will have to pay.

Where's your competitive spirit?

So it's fine in life as long as you're not the last?

Why are you involving life again?

Isn't this just a game?

Life may seem to be full of games,

but in fact, it's full of traps.

Amazing! You got a strike!

I'll teach you more.

This is the last round. I can't lose to Luo Wenyue.

Then...

For the last round,

you do it.

Go for it.

Don't look at me.

We're different.

I'm okay with losing.

Besides, if we lose because of me, you'll blame me.

If you win,

I'll be your girlfriend.

How about that?

Stop fooling around.

I'm betting on my future.

Is this bet

not attractive enough?

Deal.

Go!

I just noticed that Chang Huan is very charming today.

Of course.

Driven men are always charming.

Thanks.

Where's Luo Wenyue?

-I don't know. -She went to the washroom.

What is it?

I forgot my phone.

-I'll get it for you. -No, I'll go.

Yuan Song, eat up.

Thanks for teaching me how to bowl today.

He's a really good player

and a good coach too.

Cong Xiao.

Your lipstick color is beautiful.

Thanks.

Chang Huan.

Let's go bowling again.

I think it's fun. I just learned it.

Let's play again.

Okay.

Let's go karaoke tonight.

Sure, it has been ages.

You go. I'm busy.

Are you going to meet your boyfriend?

I'm going to the washroom.

Ms. He is shy.

I'm getting some air.

Hey, Yuan Song.

Don't you think Ms. He has been acting strange lately?

She looks worn out.

And she's quiet.

Her dad is sick.

Of course, she's sad.

-You're right. -When did they break up?

Stop joking.

Yuan Song just likes to cling to Ms. He.

She's like his sister. What breakup?

Were they ever together?

What?

No twists and turns.

I'm bored out of my wits.

Write a story of a wandering rose too.

Uncle, have you eaten?

No.

Great.

I'm hungry. I want to eat the food you make.

The fridge is empty.

Let's eat noodles with eggs and tomatoes.

Okay!

-Uncle. -Yes?

Are you unhappy?

No.

I...

I really like Professor He.

I wish you and Fanxing the best.

But...

I won't give up on Professor He.

Whenever I think of breaking up with him,

my heart feels like

it's getting into a knot.

You love someone,

but you can't love freely.

You have to hide it from your family.

This feeling is too painful.

I felt guilty.

I even blamed myself for falling in love with him.

There are so many people in this world.

Why can't I fall for someone that everyone approves of?

If I could,

I would.

But...

I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

Uncle.

You've always been nice to me.

But I can't let go of a man for you.

There's no need to apologize.

Weren't you so full of grit before?

Why did you give in so fast?

You've spoken your mind

and gotten the upper hand.

You even gave me a lesson.

I'm apologizing.

I'm not lecturing you.

But you did.

You reminded me

that even if I'm the one everyone approves of,

so what?

You're still boasting now?

Why didn't you go karaoke with them?

Braised Meat is home alone.

I have to walk it.

I see.

Are you feeling troubled lately?

You don't look great.

You were spacing out during the game.

You barely ate too.

But you drank a lot.

Maybe it's because of all the things that have happened.

My dad is sick.

I've resigned.

And my best friends?

One got divorced after she had a baby.

Another broke up while she's pregnant.

It's like after living for so long,

everything is starting all over again.

Starting all over again at 32.

That must be hard.

It's hard for all ages.

I wonder what I'll be like

when I'm 32.

I'm not sure about other things,

but I think that at 32 years old,

you'll surely become a great architect

who has designed many nice houses.

What about you?

Me?

I...

I may have become an even clumsier middle-aged woman.

What do you think about Luo Wenyue?

Not bad.

She's bright and beautiful.

Both of us like the same Japanese architect.

We have a lot in common.

That's good.

You can forget about my one-sided love.

Luo Wenyue and I really get along.

Maybe soon, I'll fall for her.

Just live your life as you wish.

Thanks for sparing a thought for me.

But I didn't really mind, so you didn't have to tell me.

I thought that you would feel guilty

about my one-sided love.

-So I wanted to let you know-- -No need.

I'm not that fragile.

Okay. You don't have to get mad.

Mad?

I'm not mad.

But I find men really funny.

After we broke up, you couldn't even look me in the eye.

But when you meet another interesting girl,

all of a sudden,

you can give me blessings.

I'm only trying to talk to you.

-Aren't we friends? -Don't you have other friends?

I do.

Or is it stated in the law that you need your ex's approval

to start a new relationship?

Forget it.

All the best to you.

All the best, okay?

Why are you mad?

I said I'm not.

Then you're jealous.

Ridiculous.

I can't be bothered with you.
