[Episode 39]

Don't feed them that much, they'll die.

You're not avoiding him anymore? Even going out of your way to see him.

Don't say that.

I was just apologizing to him.

All he did was confess to me, why did I make it overly exaggerated?

You knew that you were too exaggerated?

What are you doing? Jealous of my good looks?

Congratulations, Actress, on your successful audition.

I can't help it, my qualifications are good.

Heaven has granted me food to eat.

Then you have to hurry and quit.

I've already quit.

Tomorrow, I'm going to explain everything to my mom and dad.

I feel so full of energy now, I could fend off my mom for another hundred years.

All right, don't be thinking about fending off your mom all day.

You didn't win anyways. You should talk to her nicely.

Okay then.

Auntie.

Mom.

Yueliang, I'm going to take a shower.

Okay.

Your mom is sleeping here tonight?

My dad is at home tonight gathering his things.

My mom doesn't really want to be at home, so I brought her over here.

Your dad is gathering his things? What's going on?

They divorced.

Weren't they just fighting?

Yueliang,

do you also really hate me?

Sometimes.

Don't you hate me, too?

You are my life.

- Hot. Don't stick to me. - I'm sticking to you.

I'm your little quilted jacket.

You're a little quilted jacket in the summer, a popsicle in the winter.

Mom.

From now on, you'll have me.

You are my life, too.

Coming, coming!

Xiao Chengzi.

Sister Yueliang, these are some gifts my mom wanted me to bring over.

Thank you.

Would it be okay if we came over and visited tonight?

Okay. I'll let her know.

You slept over there last night?

No, no, I didn't.

Okay, I did, I did. But it wasn't the kind of sleeping you're thinking of.

Really.

You're just a child, don't think too much.

When you get back, don't tell your mom.

I really just stayed and talked with your brother for while.

Haven't you noticed that his energy and mental state are much better now?

So, this was the result of you chatting with him?

That's right. He can sleep now.

Just go ahead and talk however you want to talk then.

We really just innocently talked for a bit.

What did you say? Say that again.

Little Big Bro.

Come on. Come inside and explain it clearly.

- Here, I'll give this to you as well. - Thank you, thank you.

I'm leaving now.

Bye-bye.

Just talked for a bit.

It's so hot out. Why didn't you wait inside?

I'm not hot. I just got here.

Go in quick, it's very hot out.

You just said it's not hot.

These are all for eating.

No, I mean, about cooking.

That's right.

Actually, you can learn how to simmer soup.

It's simple, and Ziqiu likes soup.

Then what does Li Jianjian like to eat?

Xiao Jian, she likes sweets.

She likes eating vegetables, too. She has a sweet and sour palate.

How about you?

Me? I don't care. I'll eat anything.

Then, in the future when I make food, you can help me taste test.

Okay. Okay.

Happy families are similar.

Unhappy families are all different.

That's the first line.

Right. That was the opening line in this book.

When I read it when I was young, it left me with a strong impression.

I felt that I was one of those unlucky ones.

Now that I'm old, I feel like I was just being unreasonable.

I also had poor taste in men.

You're not old. Still young.

I'm old, I have white hairs already.

Even with white hairs, you look pretty.

Those who've dated teachers really are different.

They start to like reading classics.

I really didn't date Teacher Zhang. Really.

We're just ordinary friends.

I'm looking at it because you said that you liked to read classics back then,

so I just picked one up and flipped through it randomly.

I didn't think that you could just recite the first line.

I don't understand it.

S-So many words here, with my old eyes...

and it's so thick.

Stop explaining.

You're teasing me?

I-I took it seriously.

That's why I used to say my taste in men was terrible.

The guys who take things seriously are better.

Scared me to death.

- Let's go. - What are you doing? What are you doing?

That's about enough. How awkward would it be if they caught us?

Are you stupid? Just say it was a coincidence.

Coincidence?

Coincidentally running into your parents on a date is still very awkward.

Besides, look at them together being all sweet and lovey-dovey. So disgusting.

What's disgusting? That's called beautiful.

I don't think it's beautiful. Let's get out of here.

No, I want to go see.

You're not going to the studio anymore?

I don't want to go. The atmosphere is too depressing there.

It's fine. I'm going to see Zhao Huaguang's dad this afternoon at the hospital.

I'll definitely take care of the photo situation for you.

Just don't worry about it and go to your studio.

But I want to go see their date.

You can't.

- Let me go see. - Stop messing around.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Dad.

You're here, too?

What a coincidence!

Chance meeting you here.

Must be fate.

It's lacking a degree of heat.

If they stewed for another half hour, it'd be even better.

It was your mom

who wanted to buy a cookbook.

I happened to have time today,

so I came shopping with her.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Just say something.

I don't know what to say.

Auntie, we actually didn't think that you two were on a date.

- We just— - We are on a date.

What are your thoughts?

Stop messing with them.

- Here, eat. Eat. - Thank you.

Eat some vegetables!

Really, Brother.

Little Big Bro and I caught them.

Then, we all went to eat together.

As a result, Auntie He Mei admitted it.

Okay, okay. When I go home, I'll tell you all about it.

Hanging up now. Bye-bye.

Aren't you being too much? They were just browsing a bookstore.

They weren't just browsing a bookstore, they were on a date!

You're not happy our dad is dating?

Once those two get married, we'll have an official relationship!

It's okay.

I don't care either way. I'm used to it.

I care one way.

I've been working so hard every day to arrange his marriage.

He doesn't like this one, he doesn't think that one will work out.

He's a 50-year-old person now.

If he doesn't hurry up and find a partner,

then in 20-30 years, he'll have to have a ghost marriage.

What are you spewing about? Crazy...

Then, what are you planning to do now? Go home?

I'm going to the studio.

Weren't you not going to the studio?

I feel like I can overcome any difficulty now.

Isn't it just my reputation being smeared? Nothing important.

Then I'm going now. If anything comes up, call me.

- Okay, go ahead then.- Bye-bye.

[Rich Woman]

Juanjuan.

I told you I needed time to think it through.

Why did you keep calling me so much?

When you're not with me, I don't feel like doing anything else.

Then, you've thought it through?

I gave Li Jianjian a call. She'll be here soon.

When she gets here, we'll all talk it through together.

Juanjuan, you must be feeling bad inside. Right?

Your eyes are all swollen from crying.

You're such a compassionate person.

It must be really hard for you to make a decision like this.

Don't worry.

No matter what happens in the future, I'll always stay by your side.

Pour me a glass of water.

Okay. I'll brew you a cup of coffee.

Good afternoon.

Did you eat lunch yet? I already ate lunch.

I didn't feel like eating.

Let's sit.

Zhou Miao, bring a chair over.

Have you found the photo yet?

Do you think it can be found?

Should be able to.

Zhou Miao, what are your thoughts?

I feel like if you copied, then you copied.

It doesn't matter. Just don't copy anymore.

Boss Li is so talented, she can definitely make something even better in the future.

I personally feel that this situation has nothing to do with our Juanjuan.

The breach of contract is your personal responsibility.

You should take personal responsibility for it.

Don't implicate other innocent people.

That's how I see it.

You called me over so urgently, just so I could listen to this?

For some things, it's better to explain clearly with you in person.

Okay. Say it.

After thinking it over the whole night,

I am officially informing you,

Zhou Miao, you've been fired.

What? You must be joking, right?

I am also officially informing you.

We're breaking up.

You don't have to return any of the things I gave you.

Please, right now, immediately gather your things and get out of here.

I never want to see you again.

Also, shut your dog mouth.

Don't say a single thing slandering Li Jianjian.

Are you crazy? This was all for your good.

Why don't you know what's good for you?

And you're breaking up with me?

You laze around, act showy, and like to spend money extravagantly.

You say you have a club activity, but really,

you've stayed up all night playing video games.

Okay. I could ignore all these things

because I really like you, but do you really take me for a fool?

Now that Li Jianjian has hit a rough spot,

you actually want me to abandon our friendship and protect myself?

What can I count on you for?

People like you, when they encounter problems, run faster than anyone.

I won't anymore.

I know that Li Jianjian has been tolerating you.

Because I like you,

she is willing to tolerate you for me.

You can treat me however you want,

but you can't tell her off. Telling her off is not okay!

I didn't mean to say that about Boss Li.

That's what all the comments online are saying.

I know I was wrong. I'll apologize to Boss Li.

Is that okay?

It's not needed. Thank you.

I'm giving you one minute. Disappear.

Don't be so heartless, please?

You still have thirty seconds.

I've worked sixteen days this month.

You still owe me half a month's salary.

Also, give me back the necklace I gave you.

Scram!

You know, every time you date, it's always you who breaks up with them.

It's always you who's crying in the end.

I really liked him,

but why is he such a piece of trash?

Now he's already gone back to where he belongs.

All right, all right. Why are you crying about something so happy?

Don't worry.

I have a feeling. The next time you date,

you'll be picking from a flower garden, not the dumpster.

There's no next time. What next time? I'm not dating anymore.

You said that last time, too.

[Hospital]

- Who is he? - I don't know.

Is he that little rascal?

- It is. - I think so. - He's that little rascal.

It's him.

The one that his previous wife gave birth to.

Look at him! He's grown up so big now.

Really. I've never seen him before.

Who knows if he is?

None of us have seen him when he was little either.

Who is this guy?

Oh, isn't this that guy?

That one.

- Is it him? - I don't know.

It's him. It's him.

I—

I'm going out for a bit. Keep a watch on him inside.

Okay, okay!

Let's go.

You can't smoke here,

and it's not good for you.

The money that you sent me is all on this card.

The PIN is the first 6 digits of the card number.

Take it.

I gave it to you. You take it.

I don't want it.

My dad always taught me

not to randomly take other people's things.

Then my photo—

Have you always thought that I treated you heartlessly?

Not really.

The way you treat me is very normal,

without any affection.

Without affection?

I am your close father by blood, and you say I treat you without any affection?

You are my biological father,

but you've never raised me.

Before I was 18, I'd never seen you before.

If I were to say there was some affection, that would be a lie.

Maybe I'm just a tool for you to pass on your bloodline.

So if I don't take your last name, you'll just give up on me.

Ziqiu,

you're the one who's always been going against me and treating me like an outsider.

You're the one who refuses to acknowledge your ancestors.

Do you know how your grandfather disciplined me as a kid?

Do you know how strict he was?

If I talked back once, he would hang me up by the roof rafters and hit me.

For a father to discipline his son is only natural.

For a son to be filial to his father is also what they're supposed to do.

This is a Chinese tradition: filial sons come out of sticks and staves.

Ziqiu, I've never hit you before, have I?

Forget it. We have different ideas.

We won't get anywhere discussing this.

I think it's weird.

Why is our relationship not able to be on good terms?

Because you're always doing business deals with me.

You give me money, I need to take your last name.

I want you to find my photo,

you have me come see the old man.

Our perspectives on life are different. There's too much hate between us.

We can't even manage the simplest level of trust,

and we're always defending against the other.

Ziqiu, I just want you to listen to me.

My dad never demands that I listen to him.

But this time, I've finally seen a different side of you.

You're very filial and work hard.

You really made your old man proud.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many people coming to see him and take care of him.

This is the first time I feel

that you being my biological father isn't that disgusting.

I hope that the old man's health gets better soon.

According to our agreement,

if you find the photo, I'll go see him when I have time.

If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving.

My photo...

Never mind. Just as soon as you can.

Stay healthy.

Forget it.

We don't need to see each other again in the future.

Our accounts are squared.

Zheng Shuran, I've sent you the photo.

The rest is up to you.

- A play? - Yes.

The actress from before had an accident and broke her leg.

That's how I was able to get this opportunity.

Dad. Mom.

Recently, I've really been making a lot of effort to go to work,

but I just feel

that I don't have any energy each day, that I'm living each day without meaning.

But if I can act,

I just... my whole body feels like it's filled with energy.

I feel myself living again.

I really, really, especially like acting.

Okay, okay, okay.

You... Why are you still like this?

You've only been working for a few days.

This problem of you always being unrealistic,

I thought you had changed.

Liking acting isn't a problem.

Of course, I can't change it.

Before, I didn't have any opportunities.

Now, I have an opportunity.

Although the money isn't much and my days will be tough,

but that doesn't matter.

Weren't you the ones who said, our family isn't lacking a car or a house?

You guys aren't pinning your hopes on how much money I make.

That's right, that's right.

What's right?

Right. We're not relying on how much money you bring home,

but you'll be 27 years old next year.

Why are you still dreaming?

Mom found someone to tell your fortune. In this life,

you won't be lucky. You won't get popular.

But if you are able to get married before you turn 28 years old,

it'll be good for your wedding.

Why did you go to a fortune-teller again?

Didn't I tell you not to go anymore? It's all superstition.

It was all for her good.

Mom, then did the fortune teller tell you why I won't have the luck to be famous?

It's just not in your fate.

When you were in high school and that Director Zhou was looking for a female lead,

you had a 50-50 chance.

Everyone all thought they would choose you.

But what happened? He chose someone who wasn't as good as you.

Doesn't that prove that you're just not fated?

They weren't not as good as me, and I wasn't not as good as her.

The director just felt that she was more suited for the role, that's all.

That's true.

"More suited."

If you really feel like this and feel okay about it,

then just accept it then.

When I didn't get picked,

wasn't there a manager who wanted to sign me?

What did you say then? You can find shows for me,

can do marketing, do publicity,

why would you give that money to someone else?

In the end, you saw what happened.

That management company expanded so well.

The actors that they signed were all household names.

Then... at the time...

we also didn't know what a management company was.

Right, we didn't know.

In high school, I wanted to test for the Central Academy of Drama.

You accepted a show for me. You said, well-known director, well-known script,

it'll definitely be popular. Going to learn acting was also to get popular.

One school attracts so many students,

but how many can actually get popular? Here's an opportunity, so let's grab onto it.

In the end, in order to act in that show, I missed out on the school's audition.

I only went to a third-tier college.

In the end, that show didn't even air.

But... yeah...

that still proves you're not fated to become famous.

I also used to think that acting was to get famous,

but now that I'm older, I've realized

I want to be an actress.

To say it frankly, you didn't graduate from middle school.

Because I was filming, I didn't study well.

We're both suffering from an inadequate education.

So this means, you're insisting on becoming an actress?

I absolutely insist on being an actress.

- You! - Okay, that's enough.

Before, it wasn't easy for her to finally get on the proper path.

As I see it, this is also a proper path.

Cancan, Dad has decided to support you.

If you want to act in a play, then go and act well.

Don't listen to fortune-tellers. That's all superstition.

But you must understand your mom.

Our families and relatives will say some nasty things behind our back.

Your mom's been affected by that.

I don't agree.

If you don't agree, then don't agree then.

I hope that every time I see my daughter,

she'll be happy, just like when she was little.

You!

I'm sorry, Dad.

I made Mom angry again.

I'll go back and try to persuade her.

There's a lot of stress when acting. Watch your health.

When Dad has time, I'll make some soup and send it over for you, okay?

Still not leaving? What are you still muttering about?

I'm putting on my shoes.

Dad's going now.

However, today,

a few of the things you mentioned hit your mom right in her heart.

Don't mention it anymore, all right?

She'll feel bad for a few days.

I originally didn't want to say those things either.

Okay. Focus on acting.

- Break a leg! - Break a leg!

I'm going now.

Break a leg!

I can snap my fingers and bet that tonight a beautiful woman will treat me to dinner tonight.

We're not in that kind of mood.

Haven't the two of you looked at the forum?

What's good to look there?

Right now, we're a wall that collapsed and everyone is pushing. (T/N: Metaphor for once a person loses power, people will take the opportunity to attack)

You haven't looked at your phones either?

All we get are questions from all our classmates.

They won't listen to explanations; they're just adding to the noise.

You guys hurry up and take a look.

I worked the whole night through to look for his dirt. If you two don't look at it,

then all I've done will be a waste.

Heavens!

That Yufei has a habit of copying others!

On forums outside the country, many already suspected that he was plagiarizing.

He even had to privately compensate a minor artist outside the country

for plagiarizing his work.

Not many people even recognize him outside of China.

For two days, I looked for materials to dig up his dirt.

Zheng Shuran! Buddha will bless you!

You're a true keyboard hero!

Are you sure you're praising me?

How did you come up with the idea of digging up dirt about him?

He clearly plagiarized your idea.

Plagiarism isn't something you do accidentally.

If he can plagiarize you, of course, he must have done it to others.

But the fact that he's a bad guy doesn't prove that I'm innocent.

Can you have a little patience? Keep reading.

The photo of The Three Little Innocents.

My Little Big Bro found the photo!

As soon as Ziqiu got it, he sent the photo to me.

Just like you said, him being bad doesn't prove your innocence,

but I had to prove your innocence.

I'm so grateful. Thanks for going through all that trouble.

You're too polite.

No way. No way. I'm going to cry again.

It's not worth that much emotion.

She's heartbroken.

Wait until I get home and we'll talk about Li Dad and Auntie He Mei then.

I still have some appointments.

This evening, you're treating Zheng Shuran to dinner?

That's the right thing to do. You guys have fun then.

This evening, my mom asked me to her housewarming.

Don't worry. I won't fight with her.

Okay, let's leave it there. A colleague is here.

I'll see you at home this evening.

Bye-bye.

Is it that great to be dating?

I've been single for too long, I'll soon be withered.

I want a guy, too.

Isn't Dr. Song after you?

He's three years older than me. I like younger men.

I'll stop joking with you.

Can you get off work on time today? How long should I wait for you?

Why would you wait for me?

Your mom invited me to your house to eat a housewarming dinner.

Didn't she tell you?

Later, after we finish eating, let's boil some of these rice dumplings with rose stuffing. Okay?

Are those the Sinian Flower Goddess Dumplings?

They're delicious.

Then, buy some fruit. It looks like we don't have any.

You can go look for them at the shop on the corner.

I'll text Brother and ask them to buy whatever they want on their way home.

That's a terrible idea.

It's like saying we haven't prepared.

Mom, you didn't invite Li Jianjian for this housewarming dinner.

Instead, you invited Brother's female colleague to come. What are you doing?

Is it wrong to invite your brother and a female colleague?

Actually, I don't think that Li Jianjian is so bad.

She's quite a good person.

And she treats my brother really well.

Oh, by the way, buy a watermelon.

Your brother loves watermelon.

You can decide what other fruit to buy.

Mom, if you do this, Brother will be unhappy and you'll fight again.

You want my brother to be happy, too. Right?

Buy some other drinks, too. Don't you like drinking cola? Buy some cola for yourself.

Can't you leave Brother to live his own life? Mom, don't force him into things. Okay?

Are you finished or not? Are you going to buy those groceries?

If not, I'll go.

I'm going right now. I'll be back in a bit.

Hurry up and get back here.

Ling Xiao.

- You're off work? - Yes.

Dr. Feng...

I cleaned your teeth. You're...

- Qi Mingyue. - Oh, right. Qi Mingyue. Hello.

Hello.

My mom invited Sister Xixi home for dinner.

A housewarming dinner.

Oh... okay. You guys go on then.

I'm going to the convenience store to buy a few things.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Coming.

Brother.

Hello, Chengzi. Do you still remember me?

I'm a colleague of your brother.

I remember you. Doctor Feng. Come on in.

- Come in. - You don't need to change to slippers.

Hello, Auntie.

I didn't know what kind of flowers you like, so I just bought these.

Lilies are good. A good meaning.

- I'll put them here for you. - Fine.

Don't change your shoes. Come on in.

There was a traffic jam on the way here.

I imagine that it was difficult to get here. Have a seat.

The dishes are cold and I didn't know what you like to eat, so these are just ordinary dishes.

After I get off work, we always eat take-out.

I really do like eating ordinary dishes.

That's great then. Eat all you want.

Have you eaten this one before? Originally, I wanted to make it for dessert,

but Xiao Chengzi insisted that she wanted you try it now.

They're dumplings with rose stuffing. Have you had them before?

I know about them. They're Sinian dumplings with rose stuffing.

It's made with the skin of the lotus root, stuffed with genuine rose petals.

When you boil them, they smell like roses and they're delicious.

I've also bought many of these and put them in the refrigerator.

What a coincidence.

Then, go ahead and eat.

- Thank you, Auntie. - You're welcome.

Haven't you invited anyone else?

Just me?

Among his colleagues, I only know you.

It's nice to talk with you.

Here.

Here. Eat up.

Then isn't Li Jianjian coming?

She's meeting some friends for dinner.

Don't delay. Eat up.

Then, Auntie, excuse me. I need to use the bathroom.

It's over there. That door there.

- Okay. - Okay.

What are you doing?

As soon as you got here, you've had that look.

I just enjoy talking with her.

I like her so much, so I just invited her home for a meal.

You don't need to give me an explanation.

You can do whatever you want,

but what you do has nothing to do with me.

You won't like whatever I do anyway,

because your heart is with another family.

Think whatever you like,

as long as you stop these boring, bad thoughts. I have a girlfriend.

But I don't like her.

I'm not forcing you to like her.

I've tried.

I just can't like her.

Whoever is fine. Anyone else is fine. I just can't accept her.

You don't have to accept her.

I hate her!
