Original subtitles

1

Once upon a time, there was a planet far away in outer space.

2

The environment there was almost the same as Earth's.

3

So, of course, there were aliens living on it.

4

After a long process of evolution, those aliens

5

established their own civilization.

6

One day, their scientists predicted that their galaxy was going to collapse.

7

To escape, they immigrated to other planets in the universe by spaceship.

8

And one group of them came to Earth.

9

They called themselves the Fox Clan.

10

Ancient men on Earth were shocked when they saw them.

11

An ancient book reads that a huge ship-like object flew above the western sea.

12

The people in it wore hats, had white feathers all over their bodies,

13

and flew high in the sky with no wings.

14

That's the first impression the Fox Clan made on humans.

15

To adapt to the environment on Earth, the Fox Clan never stopped evolving.

16

Finally, they began to look like humans and gradually fit in with them.

17

Since ancient times, the conflicts between humans and the Fox Clan never ended.

18

There was a government proofreading official named Dai Fu, who was especially interested in the love between foxes and humans.

19

He believed love could overcome everything.

20

After Dai Fu died, his son collected all the stories he had written.

21

He called it, "Guang Yi Ji" and had it published.

(The Great Book of Marvels )

22

It was popular among its readers.

23

After storytellers added more details, the stories spread even further.

24

Humans began to fear foxes, instead of just being curious.

25

The Foxes noticed that humans were getting less and less friendly.

26

They had to hide their identity in this world.

30

Honey.

31

Young Master.

32

A'Xi.

33

Mr. Beggar.

34

Hey, Tianxin. Don't you have time during the day?

35

I want you to go to the mall with me and help me pick out a birthday gift for Jialin.

36

Sorry, Pipi, but I have to rehearse all day. I really don't have any time.

37

All right.

38

Hello, Miss. Is there anything I can help you with?

39

I'm looking for a white shirt.

40

The buttons are red... And on the cuffs, there seems to be a cherry blossom design or something—

41

I think I know which one you're talking about, come this way.

42

Over here.

43

You were talking about our basic style.

44

Basic? That's good.

45

This is the price for a basic one?

46

Of course, this is actually the discount price. We normally do not have discounts.

47

Miss, are you giving this as a gift to your boyfriend?

48

It's a birthday gift. Let's just go with this shirt then.

49

What size shirt does your boyfriend usually wear?

50

He's about 186 cm tall.

51

The shoulder width... about this wide?

52

According to your description, I can only assume

53

your boyfriend will need a size L or M.

54

What's the difference between sizes M and L?

55

Our design is very delicate.

56

So it's necessary that you give me a very precise answer.

57

How about if you call your boyfriend and have him come over and try it on?

58

The clothing from our store, once they're sold, they are not refundable.

59

I wanted to give him a surprise.

60

That's good. Congratulations for him.

61

Then please wrap it up for me.

62

- Please wait a moment.

- Okay.

63

This man's body figure is about the same. If this man can—

64

Sorry, I'm blind. Forgive me.

65

Hey, it's you?

66

The lady's voice is very familiar.

67

Are you the one who was robbed the other day?

68

Miss, if this man has a body figure similar to your boyfriend's,

69

size L should fit.

70

This is the only one for that size. We won't be getting any more in inventory.

71

If this gentleman is a friend of yours,

72

there should be no problem with asking him to try it on for you.

73

That's not a very good idea.

74

If you don't mind, I can do that.

75

Does it fit?

76

You didn't button it up correctly.

77

Really? Sorry, that happens all the time.

78

I'll just button it again.

79

Do you need help with it?

80

If it's all right with you.

81

What kind of person is he?

82

Who are you talking about?

83

The one who allows you to buy him such expensive gifts.

84

You're talking about my boyfriend?

85

He's a very good guy. He's good at studying, good at everything.

86

He's a lot better than I am.

87

It fits pretty well!

88

- I would like to buy this shirt!

- Then I'll help pack it for you.

89

Thank you!

90

Miss, I'm sorry. This card didn't go through, either.

91

Then this...?

92

I'm sorry, we don't accept that card here.

93

May I ask for a further discount?

94

Or do you take installment payments?

95

How about this, head down to the first floor and go out the main entrance exit.

96

Across the street, there is an ATM machine. You can then come back and pay with cash.

97

Okay, thank you!

98

Miss, your card!

99

You must keep this shirt and wait for me, okay? Thank you!

100

Sir, is there something I can help you with?

101

[Failed to read the card.]

[Please remove your card.]

102

Sorry, this is all the money I have. I'm still missing ¥500, I—

103

I can send the rest to you tomorrow. No, I can give you the rest of the money this afternoon! Is that okay?

104

This gentleman has already paid for the shirt.

105

Thank you. Can you tell me how I can contact you? I'll return it to you immediately.

106

There's no need.

107

No, no! This is a birthday gift for my boyfriend, from my heart.

108

It's a small thing, but it's all that I can do for him.

109

He is someone who is very, very, very important to me.

110

So I have to personally buy this piece of clothing for him.

111

Miss, I think that you've misunderstood. This shirt is not for your boyfriend.

112

It fit me so well, so I bought it.

113

This gentleman has just purchased all the sizes of this shirt.

114

What? What kind of person does that?

115

Please, stop yelling at a blind person. It's not good to disrupt my hearing ability.

116

Do you have any more in stock?

117

My apologies, this shirt is already out of stock.

118

I still don't know your name.

119

It's none of your business!

120

- Miss Guan...

- How did you know my surname is Guan?

121

You just said your name is Guan Ni Pi Shi.

(None of Your Business)

122

My name is Guan Pipi. Whose name has four characters in it? It's not like I'm Japanese.

123

All right, Miss Guan. If you want this shirt, please pay for it right now.

124

Then I can give this shirt to you.

125

If there are no other matters, then I'll be leaving.

126

Take care, Sir.

127

Oh, right. My surname is He-lan, two characters.

128

My courtesy name is Jing-ting. Also two characters.

129

A man gains a courtesy name once he turns twenty. A woman gains one when she gets engaged.

130

There are many surnames with two characters like "He-lan."

131

Not only Japanese people have names with four characters.

132

Why did you tell me all that?

133

To broaden your horizons, I guess.

134

Please, come again.

135

Take care, Sir.

136

Get a car for me. 56 Qianting Street.

137

Yes.

138

Mr. Helan, I really do not know how I offended you back there.

139

I will give you an apology. Please just let me have the shirt, okay?

140

The shirt is my boyfriend's birthday present! He is about to leave the country soon. Please just give it to me. Mr. Helan!

141

Ms. Guan, do I know you? Let go of me.

142

No, Mr. Helan! Mr. Helan—

143

Give me back my glasses. My glasses!

144

O-Okay.

145

I'm sorry.

146

Don't you think he's being too immature acting like this?

147

He only eats a vegetarian meal once every thousand years.

148

This is his normal.

149

Good morning. Good morning.

150

Don't call me, "Doctor." Call me, Xiuxian. I'm the first one here today.

151

Doctor Zhao is already upstairs.

152

Why is he so early?

153

- Linda came to see him.

- Li Linda?

154

Yes, Li Linda.

155

Li Linda!

156

Mrs. Li. Look.

157

Mrs. Li?

158

Just call me, "Linda."

159

All right, Linda.

160

These are a few plastic surgery plans I arranged for you. Take a look.

161

I want eyes just like yours.

162

So the plum eyes in Plan C.

163

Do you have any idea what you want to do for your nose?

164

Can it be just like yours?

165

Fine. I will send you the complete plan then.

166

Mrs. Li, when can you make time for the surgery?

167

I told you. Just call me Linda.

168

All right, Linda. When can you schedule the surgery?

169

Anytime! For instance, late at night...

170

Hi, Linda. Long time, no see.

171

Doctor Xiu, you're here.

172

I'm sorry to interrupt. I have a question...

173

to ask our doctor. Hey...

174

Have you ever been jealous before?

175

That's right. How could I ask a stone? He won't get jealous no matter what I do.

176

I should have asked you instead, Miss Linda.

177

When can you come in for surgery?

178

Please call me, "Mrs. Li."

179

Take care now.

180

You don't need to say anything; I already know what you want to say. You're welcome, okay?

181

I have made the contacts. Give them to Lord Helan.

182

Call me, "Older Brother," and I'll go do it.

183

- Xiuxian, you're here.

- Lord Helan.

184

Drink some water.

185

Your contacts are done. I've already brought them back for you.

186

Lord, you should wear your contacts when you go out,

187

so humans won't accidentally see your eyes and get hurt.

188

Xiu Xian,

189

there's one more thing.

190

Ms. Guan... She saw my eyes.

191

She must be feeling unwell.

192

- So, now she must be...

- Give me an apple.

193

Please, give this to her.

194

Okay, then I'll go right now.

195

Hey, wait! Sit for a moment.

196

Oh.

197

Do it later today.

198

I thought you were in a rush.

199

Let her suffer a while more.

200

Pipi. I've just stopped vomiting and now you're starting?

201

Does your boyfriend know about this?

202

Not his.

203

Not your boyfriend's? What game are you playing?

204

No, Sister. I must have eaten something unclean.

205

Pipi, girls should learn to protect themselves.

206

It will be too late to regret it if something goes wrong.

207

You shouldn't attend the meeting later. Go back home and rest.

208

Don't...

209

I can hold on for a while longer.

210

You have been very disappointing. Where's your creativity and energy?

211

Qianhua, a corporation CEO, buys an expensive mansion. How is that news?

212

Shut it.

213

Five years ago, Qianhua appeared on the scene.

214

She bought a hundred-year-old French cosmetics brand.

215

The market value doubled in less than a year.

216

Most importantly, all the business elite pursued her, but not one succeeded.

217

A woman: beautiful and mysterious. There's no gossip or news about her.

218

Now, she buys a luxurious house in the suburbs.

219

I heard there's a man living in it. Can't you use your heads?

220

My guess is she must be keeping a lover there.

221

No. No. Those kinds of stories will sell 30,000 copies at most.

222

Maybe he's one of her family members; a half-brother, maybe?

223

There's nothing interesting about family stories, unless it involves ethics or money distribution.

224

Based on her behavior over the years, maybe she's just an empty shell.

225

Empty shell? 50,000 copies.

226

- A puppet.

- 100,000 copies.

227

I guess maybe this mysterious guy gave her everything, the company, her career.

228

A man treating Qianhua as a slave.

229

200,000 copies.

230

Now I need an identity to go interview him.

231

I have a friend working at a fashion magazine. I'll go ask for a card.

232

Pi Pi, do you have any thoughts?

233

I...I think Qianhua probably found a house for her good friend.

234

A good friend for many years. They like each other, but aren't lovers.

235

Interesting. How many copies would this sell, do you think?

236

Meeting adjourned.

237

Thank you.

238

Pipi, should I request leave and take you to the hospital?

239

It's okay. I feel a lot better now. Everything's fine.

240

Tao Jialin doesn't even react when his woman is like this.

241

There must be something wrong with hot guys.

242

It's not his fault. He's been busy preparing to study overseas.

243

Excuses! When you're out of the country, what will happen if you get sick?

244

I'm not going.

245

You're not going? Weren't you two going together?

246

He didn't say. Tonight, probably...

247

Hot guys are here!

248

Welcome! What do you two want to order?

249

A sandwich with no meat.

250

One sandwich without veggies.

251

Are you kidding me? I'll get you two the same sandwiches and you divide them up yourselves.

252

One star rating. Waitress with a bad attitude.

253

Fine. Just sandwiches. No meat and no veggies? Please sit.

254

Excuse me.

255

Sorry, I don't scan codes.

256

Do you still remember us? The day before yesterday, 4:00 p.m.?

257

A car hit a motorcycle in the Gulou area.

258

We fought and got back the bag for you.

259

What do you want from me?

260

We just walked past and got hungry.

261

We just saw you sleeping here looking unwell.

262

He just happens to be a nutritionist.

263

- Doctor.

- Yes. Doctor.

264

We have something here that can treat what you have immediately.

265

Right away.

266

Excuse me, I don't buy health products.

267

I have friends working in pyramid sales, too.

268

No, no, no, Miss Guan. We are not pyramid sellers. We really do have something.

269

- Really?

- Yes.

270

But I ate many kinds of medicines. They are not working.

271

Here.

272

I already know apples are good for your health. Thanks.

273

You eat it now and you'll be okay.

274

I don't eat apples.

275

Apples have rich vitamins and they will help your immune system.

276

Your sandwiches. One without meat and one without veggies. Please enjoy.

277

Your seats are over there.

278

Remember to eat it.

279

Pipi. Pipi!

280

Who are these two? You know them?

281

I don't know. Two freaks.

282

They're friends with the freak I saw yesterday.

283

I don't know why they're always following me around.

284

Are they trying to get me to buy something?

285

I will take off now. Cover for me.

286

Be careful.

287

You two look good together. One is a carnivore and one is a vegetarian.

288

Who asked you to eat that!

289

Where is she?

290

She didn't eat it, so I'm going to eat it. She left.

291

Hey! You two didn't pay!

292

I said there's always something wrong with hot guys!

Hello?

309

Hello, Pipi? Tonight, we're celebrating Jialin's birthday.

310

His mother called and asked me to come as well. When are you going? I'll go with you.

311

I'll probably arrive a little late. I'm not feeling too well.

312

All right, see you tonight! Bye-bye.

313

Bye-bye.

314

What article?

315

The Ten Loneliest Things To Do In The World.

316

I'm telling you, I have experienced eight of them!

317

I have nine! Except "going to the doctor's alone."

318

Wow. It must be so miserable to go to the doctor's alone.

319

Guan Pipi?

320

- Here.

- Okay, come with me.

321

Everything seems pretty normal.

322

Have you had any fevers recently?

323

No,

324

but I really do not feel well.

325

Can you give me some medication?

326

If there is no illness, we are not allowed to randomly give out medicine.

327

But lately, I can't even work normally.

328

I'm always vomiting. It's very hard to bear.

329

I can give you a doctor's note for sick leave,

330

but I can't give you any medicine.

331

I'm coming! I'm coming!

332

Coming!

333

Auntie, this is the soybean sauce my mother made.

334

Come inside and sit. I'm making dinner. Come on.

335

Jialin, Pipi is here!

336

Jialin?

337

Old man, Pipi is here.

338

- Uncle.

- Pipi, you're here.

339

Jialin, Pipi is here!

340

Okay, I'm coming!

341

- Pipi!

- Jialin.

342

You're here.

343

Jialin, I got you a little something.

344

Thank you.

345

Why bring gifts?

346

- What is this?

- I'll go get the door!

347

Soybean sauce.

348

Xinxin, you're finally here.

349

- You look so pretty today!

- Really?

350

- Yes.

- Thank you for the praise.

351

- Look, why did you bring so much here?

- It's nothing.

352

Hey, Pipi.

353

Old man, look who's here.

354

- Uncle.

- Xinxin, you're here!

355

Look. She brought wine.

356

Just a little something.

357

Why bother buying wine?

358

Now we can eat!

359

Of course. Let's eat.

360

Xinxin, help me put chopsticks out.

361

Okay.

362

Pipi, give this to Jialin.

363

- Does this look good?

- Looks pretty good.

364

Taste your auntie's cooking.

365

- All right.

- Here, I will do this.

366

Okay, that's enough.

367

Xinxin, you really did Jialin a big favor this time.

368

- I heard that the professor there is incredibly difficult.

- He is.

369

No, it was just a small favor. Small favor.

370

Look, the wine that Tianxin brought...

371

is as old as Jialin. Born in '93.

372

Xinxin was born in '93, too.

373

Pipi was born in '93, too.

374

Right.

375

We're all the same age.

376

Let's drink. Cheers.

377

Okay.

378

Xinxin, where are you going after graduation?

379

Tianxin received an offer from Ogilvy & Mather. She's going to work there.

380

Xinxin, so impressive! I know that!

381

You lived overseas when you were little.

382

Your spoken English must be great.

383

Our Jialin can take the test. But speaking... he's done for.

384

Mom, Mom, Mom. Can I eat in peace?

385

Even though my company is huge, I'm just going to be a bottom feeder.

386

I envy people like Pipi who can work from the bottom up.

387

Now, she can do a lot independently. Right?

388

Pipi, which news bureau do you work for?

389

I'm working for a magazine right now.

390

Entertainment magazine.

391

Father. Media is very hot right now. Especially entertainment. Very popular.

392

Pipi's dream is to become a reporter who can change society.

393

Digging for the truth.

394

- Digging for truth?

- Yes.

395

I think it's more about digging into the private lives of celebrities.

396

I think people's taste depends on their environment.

397

Mother, Mother. Drink more.

398

Okay, here. I'm happy today.

399

I feel environment is not that important. It's the person that's important.

400

Right, Pipi? Here, drink.

401

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you!

402

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you!

403

Thank you all. I will blow out the candles.

404

Yes. In one breath!

405

Good. I will turn on the lights.

406

Why didn't you give Jialin his gift?

407

Mom, thank you.

408

Okay, I'll accept it.

409

Thank you, Dad.

410

Jialin, this is...

411

a little something from me. Happy birthday.

412

Thank you.

413

Thank you, Pipi.

414

It's getting pretty late. I'm going to get going.

415

- Why not eat the cake with us before leaving?

- No, no, no.

416

I don't eat sweet things in the evenings. I don't want to get fat.

417

You're so skinny. Getting fat...

418

I'm leaving, Uncle, Auntie. You guys enjoy.

419

- Jialin, bye-bye!

- Bye-bye!

420

Jialin! You're so immature. Go see her off!

421

- Go, quickly!

- Go see Tianxin off.

422

Okay, I'll go see her off then.

423

Silly boy.

424

The cake.

425

Sit down.

426

What's wrong? Oh, my goodness.

427

Pipi? What's wrong?

428

Tianxin! I'll walk you out.

429

I called a cab. It will be here soon. Go back.

430

That shirt... Thank you.

431

Pipi bought that. I just helped deliver it.

432

I saw that she's not feeling well today.

433

It's okay. I will wait here with you for a while.

434

Go back. Go, go.

435

Be safe.

436

Hey. Thanks.

437

Okay. My ride is here. I'm taking off.

438

Pipi, are you okay in there?

439

Pipi?

440

Hey, Mom, what happened?

441

Pipi has been throwing up in there for a long time.

442

She's not staying here, is she?

443

Quickly, go look! Quick, go.

444

Quick!

445

Pipi? Pipi, are you okay? Pipi?

446

Pipi? If you're not feeling well, don't leave. Just stay at my house.

447

I'm fine. I have to go to work tomorrow.

448

Are you sure you're okay?

449

Don't worry about it.

450

The bus is here. I'm going. Go on home. Don't worry about me. Bye-bye!

451

Bye-bye.

452

Bye-bye!

453

When we send people gifts, we always say,

454

"This is from my heart."

455

Because what is in a person's heart

456

is hard to describe, express, and deliver.

457

So we use an object instead,

458

to make people understand what we feel..

459

If you are the gift receiver, you might not realize it at the time.

460

But one day, you will suddenly see...

461

how you failed to figure out the gift sender's feelings back then.
