Original subtitles

There was once a stubborn donkey

which only headed south.

In the south, there was a wall.

The donkey hit it and died.

Is this what happened to you in your past life?

My relationship has been exposed.

They are angry at me.

Don't add fuel to the fire.

Dad and Mom like Ye Luming a lot.

Can't you tell them some other time?

Do you know how to kill a whale?

What? A whale? Just use a gun.

A speargun.

No, electrocute it.

Why?

You just have to keep throwing plastic into the sea.

It will consume the plastic

just like how it consumes food.

As time passes,

slowly,

its stomach will be full of undigested plastic.

Then it will gradually die.

Do you have a fever?

Canyang.

I've kept the truth from them for too long.

To me,

lying is like a whale consuming plastic.

It's a slow suicide.

It doesn't matter if I'm lying to myself or others.

The pain will only get stronger.

But you can't tell them now. Dad is ill.

But it's the best time to tell Dad now.

-Look-- -The tomatoes are great today.

They must be organic.

Fanxing, you're awake.

Hey.

Isn't that our neighbor?

-Why is he in our house? -That's enough.

Fanxing.

There's porridge. Go and eat some.

We'll have roasted fish tonight.

Dad, Mom.

I have something to tell you.

In the end, you still broke up?

We noticed something was off.

I just thought

that since you've never liked anyone before,

both of you should get together first

as Luming is handsome and nice.

As time passes, feelings would develop.

Like your dad and me.

We met because of a friend.

Back then, I chose him because he was nice.

Enough with our story.

That was during our generation.

Just let them be.

They are not destined to be together.

If you do meet someone you like...

I already have.

He Fanxing.

The person I like is--

He Fanxing, don't go too far!

You have already broken up.

Dad, Mom.

I'm sorry I kept this from you.

Actually,

I was with Yuan Song before.

Are you crazy?

-Canyang! -How could you tell them?

Can't you take it slow?

You're so selfish.

Canyang, let go!

-Let go! -Let go!

I'm sorry, He Canyang.

I didn't mean to anger them.

I just can't forget Yuan Song.

Canyang! Can't you talk nicely?

Do you have to hit her?

He Canyang!

What are you doing?

You hit her before she said anything!

Who taught you that?

Are you trying to make me mad?

You're just biased.

Yuan Song is so much younger than her.

What did Mrs. Wang call Fang Shanshan?

She called her...

-shameless. -Shut up!

What about Fang Shanshan?

What about your sister?

What about being shameless?

If you think that she's shameless,

what about you and Cai Minmin?

I'm a man!

It's fine for me to get a younger partner. No one will say a thing!

But she's a woman! How is it the same?

So what if she's a woman?

What's so different?

Tell me!

Is the law against it?

Fine.

Are you saying it's okay for her to be with Yuan Song?

Why not?

Both of them are single.

It's not adultery.

Do you want to know what being shameless is?

Look at Shen Fanfan!

Fine.

I wish for He Fanxing and Yuan Song to be together again.

Anyhow, you're just being biased.

Get out of here!

Don't come to our house again!

You...

This boy, Canyang...

Hey.

Why are you laughing?

Didn't you hear what he said?

If Fanxing gets back with Yuan Song,

will you be fine with it?

Dad, Mom.

I'm sorry.

Come, sit here.

Tell us.

What's going on?

Before Ye Luming,

I actually dated Yuan Song for a while.

He was my first boyfriend.

My first love.

But I had too many concerns about us.

So I kept it a secret,

in case you would be embarrassed.

Then we broke up.

So I thought there wasn't a need to say it.

If you still like Yuan Song,

why did you date Luming?

Aren't you playing with his feelings?

His sister even came to our house.

Anyone would have thought that you two were getting along well

and planning to get married.

I wanted to.

After Dad fell sick,

I really wanted to get married.

So that Dad would be at ease.

I tried my best.

Every day, I felt

so exhausted inside.

I hate myself for not being able to compromise

like everyone else.

But why can't I just be different from others?

Why can't I be different?

Fanxing.

Being different

is exhausting.

Haven't you always wanted a simple life?

That's right.

But no matter what we choose,

life is never simple.

We have to bear the consequences

of our own choices.

Since you have thought it through,

then I

will say no more.

I'm tired.

I'm going to get some rest.

How do you want the yellow corvina cooked?

What?

Didn't you say that I was biased?

I bought your favorite yellow corvina.

Do you want it grilled or steamed?

Grilled.

Mom, is Dad--

Thank you, Mom.

The door is opened.

You hung up on me!

That's why I'm calling you now.

Were you never going to call me if I never called you?

Why would I not?

But you're doing it right now!

This is too much!

I will never forgive you!

Okay, I'm sorry.

Where are you right now?

I'll make it up to you.

I'm outside your house!

Why are you smiling?

Are you here to dump me?

What?

No.

I thought you'd never forgive me.

I said it out of anger.

It's not that I'll never forgive you.

You have to apologize. That will do.

I'm sorry.

Is...

Is that all?

Isn't saying "sorry" an apology?

Or do you want me to ask for a flogging?

No.

Did you stand long? Are you tired?

No, I just arrived.

About an hour ago.

Want to go get a drink?

Yes.

How is your uncle?

He already left for work when I woke up.

I asked my aunt.

She said that he isn't showing any signs of a breakup.

He still talks cheerfully to his clients.

I'm starting to doubt

if he ever truly loved Fanxing.

You're indeed a kid.

He is way past the age to give up on life over a breakup.

Life goes on.

His employees are depending on him to feed their families.

Clients' orders still have to be completed in time.

With so many responsibilities, how can he mope around?

Even if he's sad,

he can only endure and bear it himself.

My uncle is so pitiful.

I must listen to him and never make him angry.

What if he asks you to break up with me?

No way!

By the way, how is Fanxing?

Fanxing?

She has finally set herself free.

Tell me.

Remember your ID.

Don't forget your things and take care of Luo.

Should I call you Mom now?

You're such a nag.

I'm fine with that.

Both of you are so close.

You look more like his sister than his mom.

You're such a sweet-talker.

Beware.

He might go crazy for you.

Meiyin, you must be joking.

Luo Wenyue is just teasing me.

Come on.

You're the boss' son.

I would never tease you.

Perhaps I actually like you for real.

No, give me a break.

Ms. Wu, look at how heartless he is.

It's been so long since you looked this happy.

Good things are coming.

Hey.

Are you happy because we're going to Suzhou together?

Of course not.

You're really heartless!

I'm done.

Take care of each other

when you get there.

Perhaps, things will change when you're back.

WENHANG

Excuse me, it's a friend.

Tell me honestly. What do you think of Yuan Song?

He's cute and wild.

I like it.

But he still seems to be hung up on

the former executive director of Amazing Decoration.

Did he tell you that?

I noticed it the other day when we went bowling.

The ambiguous feeling between them

was too obvious.

We all need time to recover after a breakup.

It's perfectly normal.

But it is interesting.

I like a good challenge.

You're young indeed.

You two, say something.

Was I too aggressive?

Should I slow down?

My parents didn't say much.

But I could tell that they weren't happy about it.

YANG XIAOYU

You're great.

If Malty wasn't asleep, I would have set off firecrackers.

What a warrior.

Among the three of us, you're the most amazing.

You only look like a goody-two-shoes.

You're actually rebellious inside!

Not bad, He Fanxing.

Taking this difficult step means that you're really brave.

When it comes to ideals or reality,

many would only weigh it out.

You're much better.

Hey, I understand Fanxing.

We can't just settle.

We only live once.

We should take a leap of faith because you never know what awaits you.

Yang Xiaoyu.

You were so different two months ago.

When we're too used to a lifestyle,

it is hard to change.

And you.

Tell Tiantian's dad the truth soon.

Even a condom couldn't stop his genes from spreading.

How remarkable.

Why are you bringing this up now?

Hey.

Let's dance to the music of life together.

Why can't I bring it up?

I...

thought you would scold me

for being so insensible.

You are insensible.

But you know, it really depends.

If it were to be my family,

with the way my mom is,

she would get a stroke.

As for your family...

Do you think that they're ordinary parents?

They have solid blood vessels, so they'll be fine soon.

Yes.

Hey, what about Yuan Song?

Wasn't there a girl

who was getting quite close to him?

I haven't given a thought about her.

He couldn't have changed so fast.

Madam,

even the high-speed rail travels at 380km per hour,

let alone the speed of love.

Hey.

Did you forget how you and Yuan Song

progressed at the speed of light?

Why does everything that comes from your mouth sound so dirty?

Besides being known as the Hegemon King,

I'm also known as the Contaminator.

Hello?

Hi, our company provides personal microfinance

and unsecured loan services.

I have no money!

RECENT CALLS

YUAN SONG

Stop it, Baylor.

Quiet, Baylor! Don't move!

Hello?

Hello.

Did something happen for you to call me this late?

I'm busy right now.

I'm currently checking in.

Checking in?

-Are you outstation? -Yes.

I'm in Suzhou for a talk by my favorite architect.

I see.

Is there anything else?

It's inconvenient to talk right now.

Yes, there is.

Well...

I just realized

that I had a five-hour call with you last night.

Even my battery ran out.

What did I talk to you about?

It was nothing.

We were just chatting.

Why did it take five hours then?

Did I say a lot?

Yes. A lot of drunk talk.

People say that alcohol is a truth serum.

So I suppose it's true.

What?

I'm sorry.

I must have drunk too much.

I didn't

say anything weird, right?

You did.

But let's talk once I'm back.

Luo Wenyue is next to me.

There are things I can't say.

Luo Wenyue?

You're with Luo Wenyue?

You...

Is it just the two of you?

Yes. She likes this architect too.

Also,

we can bond on a trip, right?

She's a good catch overall.

After some bonding,

maybe there will be romance between us.

Bonding?

Such a thing doesn't need bonding.

Don't force yourself.

I'm not.

Don't worry. I won't force myself because of you.

I have to go. Bye.

Hey!

Baylor, let's go home. Come on!

Let's go!

Sir, your ID and wristbands.

Thank you.

It's done, let's go.

Which woman were you on the phone with?

You looked so happy.

Yes, it was a woman.

Any good news?

My ex-girlfriend broke up with her boyfriend.

Finally.

I don't want my ex to be happier than me.

To Suzhou?

Yangcheng Lake?

To catch crabs?

What crabs?

I'm just going on a trip for a few days.

Why so sudden? Who are you going with?

Dad, Mom.

Actually,

Yuan Song is in Suzhou.

With a female colleague.

I'm afraid he will fall for her,

so I'm going there to get him back.

I know that I'm selfish.

So please try your best to forgive me.

Mom.

Seriously?

Are you kicking Fanxing out?

Hey, He Canyang.

Great timing. Please do me a favor.

What?

Hello, Professor He.

What are you doing? How about a drink tonight?

I can't, I'm in Suzhou.

Suzhou? What for?

My favorite architect is giving a talk here.

I'll be attending.

You sound like you just woke up.

I'm catching up on lost sleep from last night.

I don't believe you.

You're definitely lying to avoid meeting me.

Why would I lie?

I'm around Yangcheng Lake.

Send me your location.

Where is the trust?

SEND LOCATION

PROFESSOR HE

Done.

Do you trust me now?

Yes. Rest well then.

-See you. -Bye.

Bye.

Are you not resting?

This is a fine hot spring hotel.

I can't waste my time sleeping.

I have to get up early,

soak in the hot spring and go to the spa.

You don't seem happy.

You look like an upset high schooler

in a Japanese romance anime.

A poem just came to mind.

A poem?

"For years, I'll be gone. Brilliant days shall be in vain.

Even if I feel endless passion, to whom should I tell?"

"To whom should I tell?"

Tell me.

You can just fall for me.

That's difficult. You're not my type.

But on the day we went bowling,

that was not what I felt.

You just happened to be nearby.

Let's grab a bite in a bit.

Then we can take photos of the architecture in a nearby town.

Let's meet in the lobby in half an hour.

Hello, Canyang.

I got it.

Then send me the location of the hotel.

All right.

Hey, did you book the hotel for me?

I'll do it in a bit.

Okay, I'll rest assured then.

Thank you, Canyang.

What are you thanking me for?

If you look back and regret, don't blame me.

What did Mom and Dad say?

Nothing, but they didn't seem too happy.

Don't worry, just take it as a trip.

I'll take care of home.

That's all, bye.

Bye.

Why are you sighing?

I still think...

that it's not right.

That's right.

It's not.

You're right.

Your mom and I

still think that it's not right.

But what other people think doesn't matter.

As long as it feels right for you.

Just remember not to break the law or hurt others,

and love yourself.

You will always be the daughter we're proud of.

All the best!

I feel like

I'm about to fly.

Embarking on a new journey

and meeting new people.

A new stop is also a new beginning.

YUAN SONG

Who's the girl?

Haha.

Haha.

Bring me back some mango ice cream.

He Fanxing?

Hi, what a coincidence.

That was lame.

Why are you here?

I'm traveling.

Are you traveling too?

Are you an idiot, He Fanxing?

All by yourself?

Yes, all by myself.

You would be scared if only half of me was here.

What a lame joke.

What a coincidence.

Yes, that hot spring hotel is popular on the Internet.

It's highly recommended.

I see.

You know we're staying there?

Are you also staying there?

What a coincidence. I just guessed.

Should we...

go back together?

It's okay. I want to take more photos.

You can head back first. Don't mind me.

Then let's go, Yuan Song.

On my way here, I had been thinking.

Was I too impulsive?

Should I take a step back?

But my body was faster than my mind.

What a go-getter.

But you did the right thing.

I think this girl is planning to make him hers

during this trip.

After all, traveling helps one to relax.

His guards are down right now.

It's a good thing you went there.

But he didn't have much reaction when he saw me.

Did you tell him

about your breakup with Ye?

Not yet.

Madam, if you didn't tell him,

what could you expect from him?

Do you think I'm too madly confident?

Maybe he doesn't like me anymore.

If he doesn't like you anymore,

what will you do?

Then...

Then I'll try to get him back.

It's because I like him.

Okay. Let's talk once you're back.

By the way,

Professor Song and I have decided to confess.

So fast?

We've talked it through.

We need to learn from you.

Finish it off quickly.

I'll be back in a few days.

Don't worry.

We will handle our own matters.

Yes.

Coming!

I have to go.

Bye.

Hi, this dessert is on the house. Please enjoy.

Thank you.

It's you?

Who else? He Fanxing?

You have to keep your shirt on.

What are you talking about?

Isn't it obvious?

She rushed here once she heard that we are in Suzhou.

I'm curious as to how special she is.

Yes, she's pretty.

But she's already 30 years old.

She keeps acting tough.

But I guess she's better now.

If you're here for a drink, I'm not in the mood.

If you're here to bad-mouth my ex,

I'm going to bed.

You're finally telling the truth.

I bet you have noticed given how smart you are.

All right.

Don't be mad. Come and sit.

I'm here to help.

Come here.

You have to keep your shirt on.

Why do you think she followed you here?

To get back together with me, of course.

When it comes to relationships,

even if there are no feelings,

no one would give in to a competitor.

Maybe...

she's just jealous.

Do not overrate humanity.

If you're too nice,

you will be at her beck and call.

I know.

So why do you think I'm here drinking with you

instead of knocking at her door?

So you're not an innocent little rabbit.

-Do you have a plan? -Of course.

I am not that easy to get.

I'll help you.

There's no need.

Come on.

I'm very useful.

Think about it.

If she learns that I am in this room with you,

she will be furious.

Drink in your room.

I'm going to the hot spring.

Fine.

I'll stop. Let's drink.

Hi, this dessert is on the house.

Please enjoy.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Didn't you say that you're not easy to get?

You almost ran out the door.

Come to the garden.

I thought you would be asleep.

No, Luo Wenyue came to drink with me.

Are you fond of Luo Wenyue?

She's quite nice.

You haven't told me.

What are you doing here?

Do you own the hotel?

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.

Hey!

Why are you being hot and cold with me?

Didn't you say that you liked me two days ago?

Since you remember that,

you should know that I'm staying away on purpose.

Why did you follow me to Suzhou?

I have always wanted to come to Yangcheng Lake.

Since I'm unemployed, I came here to relax.

While I'm at it, I want to ask you.

What did I tell you during the five-hour call?

I see. Is it because of that?

Fine, I'll be honest with you.

It was nothing.

You were drunk talking, so I have forgotten.

That's impossible!

Do you think I'm a kid?

Why do you keep asking?

They were just lies after all.

Will you be responsible for your drunk talk?

Then tell me.

If I can do it, I'll do it.

You proposed to me.

That's impossible.

Fine, I'll take that you've never said it.

I know myself.

Even if I was dead drunk, I wouldn't say that.

Perhaps you were too drunk.

You said you broke up. I bet that's not true.

About that...

I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going back to sleep.

What's your plan for tomorrow?

I'm just looking around.

We're going to the lake tomorrow.

Do you want to join?

Can I?

But I don't really know Luo Wenyue.

You're right.

Hey!

I'll go.

See you tomorrow.

Good night.

Yuan Song, will there be crabs in the lake?

Of course, why wouldn't there be?

Yuan Song!

I want mango ice cream.

Go and eat it then. Don't be so gross.

I don't care. I want to eat it.

Buy one for me.

Fine, I'll buy it for you.

What are you buying?

Mango ice cream.

Fanxing, do you like mango ice cream?

I hate mangoes.

Hey.

Fanxing, I made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant!

Do you want to join us?
