My Mister Mermaid

How come we don't see Tang Yibai?

Don't tell me.. He's not even coming for practice?

Shut your mouth. Don't cause any trouble.

Don't worry captain, I'm not trying to make trouble,

I'm only greeting them, nothing more.

Everyone, look here. Swim captain of South Physical, Qi Ruifeng,

is about to begin his training session. Come watch and learn.

You can do it, Qi Ruifeng. I'll time you.

Fighting! Fighting! Fighting!

What's wrong? Team captain Qi is going 100 meters now?

-He started off going really fast. -But now that you look at it, it' 's not bad.

It isn't that quick.

I didn't see it wrong right? This is the strength of team captain Qi?

26 seconds for 50 meters. At North Physical, this result is our lowest.

Who said that he was swimming 100 meters? Keep the timer going.

Qi Ruifeng was planning on swimming 1000 meters in the beginning.

Fighting! Fighting! Fighting!

Am I seeing things wrong?

Why do I feel like he gets faster every hundred meters?

He doesn't really intend to swim 1500 meters with this speed right?

He's a monster.

Why are you not replying to my text?

Are you mad at me?

What happened Master? What kind of job are you going to give me today?

You do can whatever you want, I don't care.

No Master, you are still mad at me because of Tang Yibai?

Am I mad? I just don't want to talk to you.

What are you two doing? Yun Duo hurry up and go do the interview.

-There's an interview today? -No kidding! South Physical College!

Let me tell you, the news from yesterday

Four years ago, Tang Yibai defeated Ouyang Heng. The moment it went online,

The amount of views it had reached over 50 000, do you understand?

-Really?-That many people saw it?

Let me tell you guys, Director Liu wanted to make it clear,

that this weekend, our main job is to focus attention on this news' follow-up.

Hurry, hurry. Good job young man.

Luckily you found that! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Teacher Sun.

What's wrong Yun Duo?

This is good news! You're in charge of South Physical College.

This news is up to you. You are responsible till the end. I have something else to interview. You guys good luck!

What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh?

Don't tell me I didn't tell you but today I really hate you. You better not laugh and talk. And you better not appear in front of me.

How can that be Master? I am your assistant if I'm not in front of you then I'm bascially useless.

Then I can be behind you right? Don't look at me and laugh.

Master, Master, Master. Let's take my car to the interview.

This is your car?

Or did you borrow this? Cause this doesn't look that cheap/

Your wrong. This car is pretty and cheap.

Master, are you mad at me that your willing to take public transportation instead of my car?

I'm telling you, South Physical College is very far.

If you're going to delay the interview because of transportation..

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

-Huh? -It's not?

Hasn't it already passed 1500 meters? Why is he still swimming?

Qi Ruifeng really is a monster. He hasn't slowed down his speed in the slighest.

Let's go Master.

There's so many people here early in the morning.

It's all your fault.

I wonder how Tang Yibai is right now. He still hasn't sent me a single text.

Tang Yibai is here!

Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai, do you have anything to say about yesterday's report that you had once defeated Ouyang Heng

at the Asia Elite Training Team's trial competition, but were later suspended from the competition?

Can you please explain the situation?

Okay, okay, please move. We are not accepting any interviews today.

Please move. Thank you. Thank you.

Zheng Lingye. What's the situation here?

How long has Qi Ruifeng kept up this speed?

I-

Hurry up and say.

He just swam 2500 meters, but he stll hasn't stopped.

2500 meters? Why didn't you guys stop him?

Qi Ruifeng !

Get over here!

I'm just doing a warm-up.

You're just doing a warm-up?

Fine. Swim another 5000 meters with this speed.

Okay! 5000 is just 5000. That's nothing.

Tang Yibai, when he is done swimming bring him to my office.

I understand.

Oh my God Captain,

Qi Ruifeng is simply a monster. He used all his energy to swim 2500 meters,

And he still has the energy to continue swimming？

But his coach is even scarier.

Handling 5000 meters seems like a joke to them.

Give me the watch.

Who told you to stop?

I told you before, matches are forbidden during training.

But you? Yesterday, you had a match with Ouyang Heng, and today you went all out swimming 2500 meters.

You like to swim that much?

Ok then, for the next month, you can't step even one foot inside a swimming pool.

How is this okay? The Dream Cup competition is coming up soon! How can I not take part in practice?

Do you really care?

Of course I care.

If you really cared, you wouldn't have done such a ridiculous thing.

I spent all this time training you so you could compete.

Not for you to show off in front of other people.

What time is it?

There's only a month until the competition.

What happens if your shoulder gets injured?

Do you understand or not?- I know, I know, I know.

Hurts, hurts, hurts.

The phone is ringing. First answer the phonethen continue lecturing.

- Ok, Coach? - Tomorrow, Lingye, bring him for me.

You guys...

Hello? How are you?

Sorry, I'm even more afraid of pain than you.

That's right Brother Feng. When someone does a bad thing, they shouldn't involve innocent people.

Ok, I understand.

Tang Yibai, Coach WuYou guys stay.

Everyone else leave first.

No. Yibai, what's going on?

Nothing, you guys go back first.I'll tell you about it later.

Go, go.

You idiot. Look, your legs are all weak.

-What are you still showing off for? -Who's legs are weak?

I only ate too many bananas earlier.

Just forget it already. Do you need me to carry you?

Who wants you to carry them? Ming Tian come here.

Me?

Zheng Lingye should obviously be doing this.

Go to the dorm.

Wait. Why do I feel like before was not right?

Let me down. Let's go.

Yibai, before a reporter called and told me that

the Dream Cup sponsor wants to investigate about your situation.

And take away your eligibility for the competition.

Coach Yuan!

What did you just say?

Didn't you guys all leave? Why did you come back?

Why are they taking away Yibai's eligibility for the competition?

What is going on right now?!

Yibai. There are full of harmful rumors about you online,

saying that you'll affect the Dream Cup's image.

There are even rumors that say the sponsoring unit will cancel your qualifications to participate in the competitions.

What right do they have to say that about Yibai?

Why are they taking away his eligibility for the competition?

We are also thinking that.

That's why after we heard the rumor, we immediately contacted them.

They also replied,

saying that they never said that.

But then what is the problem? The official announcement hasn't come out yet,

So there are some people who won't drop this.

You're saying that we can't do anything

to help Yibai explain or protest it?

The only thing we can do right now is wait.

Wait until the sponsor decides to publish the announcement.

I understand.

You're saying we're not going to do anything. But if that sponsor doesn't publish any kind of announcement, what are we going to do?

Are you just going to let Yibai take this fabricated accusation and let others misunderstand him?

Qi Ruifeng calm down.

But if you keep allowing these rumors to continue spreading like this,

there's no guarantee that the sponsor will change their viewpoint to protect their own reputation.

Ming Tian! Don't add oil to the fire.

I'm only saying the truth.

Ming Tian is right, if we don't do anything right now

then the situation will get more and more complicated.

We have to take the opportunity to strike first.

We'll have a press conference right now to let everyone know that Yibai is innocent!

If they want to disqualify Yibai from the competition—they can!

Then South Physical will drop out from the competition entirely! What will they do then?

It's not as simple as you think it is.

Right now, public opinion is against Tang Yibai.

If we act rashly, the situation will only become more serious.

As your coach, I can't sacrifice everyone's future for Tang Yibai alone.

Then what about Tang Yibai's future?

If we use that excuse not to allow him compete, then in the future are we still going to use that excuse not to allow him compete?!

If we accept this kind of reality, then aren't we just destroying Tang Yibai's future?!

What does this have to do with you？ Get out.

Why does it have nothing to do with me? He is my best friend and my teammate!

Okay, okay. Stop talking!

I already said it before I will take care of it.

Hurry up and get out.

Qi Ruifeng!

Enough, what Coach Yuan said is right.

We can't let my situation affect the rest of the team members.

Let Coach deal with this.

Go back first.

Go, go, go.

Mingtian, Lingye, watch out for him.

Qi Ruifeng! Where are you going?

I'm telling you now. You'd better not follow me, or else I'm cutting ties with you!

We can't do that. Coach Yuan told us to keep an eye on you.

Qi Ruifeng calm down.

Yeah, Brother Feng.

Calm down a bit. We know that you're worried about Yibai, but acting so impulsively won't solve any problems.

Let's just leave it to the coaches to take care of things. Don't make things difficult for us.

Okay, I won't make it difficult for you guys.

Let me ask you. How much money do you guys have on you?

Take it out. Hurry up.

$50.

-How much? -$120.

I'm going to first borrow from you guys. I'll return it later.

Brother Feng where are you going?

Where did he go?

I don't know.

What are you guys doing? Didn't Coach say to watch him closely?!

How can you let him run away again?

Yun Duo, is your press release done yet? People are waiting.

It's almost done. Give me 15 minutes.

When you're done, sent it to me so I can review it.

And make sure to file your source material from today right away.

Hello?

I understand.

Master, do you need help?

-I don't need it. -You really don't need it?

How about this? You work on your press release, and I'll help you go over the video footage.

I said I don't need it. Stop bothering me.

So weird. Why is your mood so bad?

My mood isn't bad. It's just that I'm busy.

I know. Your still mad at me because of Tang Yibai.

Your thinking too much.

Yun Duo, put down whatever you're doing, and come with me to South Physical.

What happened Teacher Sun?

What happened? Something big.

I heard that Tang Yibai might not be eligible for the Dream Cup competition.

- Why?- How would I know? That's why we need to go and investigate.

Let me tell you. We are professional reporters.

Before the organizers release a statement,

and before we've collected any definitive evidence, we can't write anything. Got it?

Lin Zi, you'll come with me to meet the coaches and ask for an official statement.

Okay.

You are responsible to get in contact with Tang Yibai.

I'm going to look for Tang Yibai?

-But... -But what?

Yun Duo, this connection you have is something no other reporters have.

I believe in your capability. You can! Work hard!

I let you hang around with them ordinarily for this very moment!

Good luck!

Qi Ruifeng ?

Why are you here？

I came to look for you.

-Look for me? -That's right.

I'm here to deliver an exclusive interview to you.

What's going on here? Why are there so many reporters?

You guys don't know yet? I heard that Tang Yibai will be disqualified from participating in the Dream Cup.

- Disqualified?- Where did you hear about this?

It's all over the internet right now.

Look for yourself.

Hello, Qi Ruifeng. I'm very excited that you've come to QKVideo.

What kind of explosive news do you have for us?

Wait, I came to look for Yun Duo. Not you.

- What a character!- Qi Ruifeng, Teacher Sun is a senior and a professional. He'll interview—

First, I don't need you guys to ask any questions.

I'm here to give a statement.

Secondly, Yun Duo listen carefully.

You must broadcast what I'm about to say in full.

You can't take things out of context like you did with Yibai.

Do you understand?

No problem.

I understand what you are saying. Let's start.

Please.

Ok, start.

I am the captain of South Physical's mens swim team, Qi Ruifeng.

I'm here to state that if the organizers of the Dream Cup,

under duress, disqualify Tang Yibai with unwarranted charges,

I will, along with Tang Yibai, decline to participate in the Dream Cup in protest.

Okay, that's what I wanted to say. Hurry and post it online.

Wait. Qi Ruifeng are you serious?

I've never been more serious in my life.

I just want to say one thing: If Tang Yibai isn't in the Dream Cup, then neither is Qi Ruifeng.

Okay. Hurry and post it.

We can't post it yet. Before the information is verified, we can't post things irresponsibly.

You can't be serious. You came chasing after me for an exclusive interview before, but now that it's here, you don't want it?

Yibai!

Tang Yibai.

Yun Duo, don't mind what Qi Ruifeng just said and don't post it online.

-Yun Duo, if you think of me and Yibai as friends then listen to me and post it right now. -Don't listen to whatever he says!

I have principles when it comes to reporting. I can't just post or not post things because someone tells me to.

Qi Ruifeng!

I don't need you to do this. Your not helping me!

Yun Duo,

just pretend that this interview today never happened.

Sorry.

Let's go!

You're really something. For an unconfirmed rumor,

you just disregarded your future and withdrew from the competition in protest?

What kind of friend are you? I sacrificed myself for you, but you stabbed me in the back?

What did Tang Yibai do wrong? Did you think that by doing this, the organizers would think,

"Oh, Qi Ruifeng is withdrawing in protest. We can't have that."

"He's so important and great."

"We must have an international press conference because of Qi Ruifeng"

"to make a statement clearing Tang Yibai from any wrongdoing." Who do you think you are?

Do you have a brain?

As the South Physical mens swim team captain, I have to protect my members. But what about you, Coach?

You're our head coach, but after one of our members is wrongly accused, you don't say a single thing!

- What kind of head coach are you?!- Qi Ruifeng!

Hurry up and apologize and say that's not how you think!

That's how I think. How am I suppose to apologize?

- What are you doing?- How can you say those words to Coach Yuan?

Do you know what she did for Yibai? How can you say Coach Yuan has no right to be our head coach?

I think I should explain.

Before this situation got out of hand, a business friend of ours, Ouyang Ji,

immediately came to us, letting us know the severity of the the case.

Ouyang Ji? Isn't that Ouyang Heng's father?

Yes, that's right. He's also a senior of mine and Coach Yuan's.

In this circle, he has a certain influence, so we treat his words as important.

Yibai, when you were suspended from the competition four years ago, he did a lot to help and try to clear your name, didn't he?

So we sought him out this time to hear his opinions.

If this matter gets out,

it will be very detrimental to Yibai's career.

I think the best option in front of us is, before the organizers make a statement,

to take the initiative and withdraw from the competition, Yibai.

This way, Yibai won't have to worry about clearing his name

by releasing the urine tests and causing a big scandal, and he can also maintain his dignity.

I won't withdraw from the competition. I want to keep competing.

Sit down.

Yibai, I know at the moment you can't accept this.

But this is all for your future.

When things calm down, we can think of other means.

No way. I won't let Yibai do this.

If the Dream Cup sacrifices Tang Yibai

for the sake of their image, I can accept that.

But if they revoke Tang Yibai's right to participate, then I will resign as head coach.

I will use myself to protest seriously.

Runmei, must you go to such an extent?

Have you forgotten that four years ago, to prove Yibai's innocence,

you gave up the honor of joining the Asia Elite Training Team?

But what did you get in the end?

Now for this child,

you want to gamble on the honor you've built up through the years?

What did you just say Coach Yuan did for me 4 years ago?

If Runmei hadn't supported you four years ago,

which athletic college would have accepted an athlete who'd been suspended from competition?

Runmei had to endure so much that year, for you.

She even gave up the opportunity to coach the Asia Elite team.

Coach Yuan,

You-

I believed in you four years ago, so of course, I believe in you now.

No matter what I won't allow Yibai to quit the competition.

I am his Coach. If even I don't believe him,

and I can't protect his dreams then what right do I have to stand here?

All these years, I've endured the prejudice others have shown for me.

Even when it got extremely tough, I told myself that I had to persevere,

so that I'd be able to stand in the arena for the Dream Cup.

In order to protect each of our dreams,

to allow each of us to stand at the Dream Cup,

Coach Yuan was willing to sacrifice her own future.

But Qi Ruifeng, what are you doing now?

You're taking the thing I value the most and using it as a bargaining chip!

How can you say for me you are going to quit the competition?

For me you have to continue to swim and you have to win right?

To this day, I haven't given up my dream of winning a medal with you.

As long as I never give you, you can't give up either!

Yibai, I'm sorry.

The person you should apologize to isn't me.

Tang Yibai is here!

I'm sorry, we aren't accepting interviews.

Please go back.

Please go back.

Coach Wu, let me face it myself.

From what we understand, the organizers of the Dream Cup are revoking your right to participate in the competition. What are your thoughts on this?

Will you be withdrawing from the competition to quell public opinion because of the scandal from four years ago?

For causing a disturbance, I feel apologetic.

But I won't apologize for chasing after my dreams.

Being suspended from competition for the past four years made me realize

that if you lose your dream, you're no longer living.

So I'm back.

I understand, I have no right to stop how people think about me.

And I don't have the right to change people's suspicions about me.

At the same time, no one can block me from returning to the pool

to continue chasing after my dream.

So no matter what you won't give up the Dream cup?

That's right. I won't give up attending the Dream Cup competition.

Even if I must be drug tested before every competition, I will still compete to the end.

Because the dream I'm persevering for isn't such a cheap thing.

What if the Dream Cup insists on revoking your right to compete?

I'm willing to put my athletic career on the line to vouch for Tang Yibai.

-Look Ouyang Heng! -Ouyang Heng came.

Tang Yibai has always been my only rival.

I trust that he wouldn't disrespect the spirit of being an athlete.

And I trust that the organizers of the Dream Cup will give an impartial and just response to this situation,

and they won't wrongly accuse or strip away an athlete's future.

I hope that the reporters and viewers will not spread rumors.

Segments and Subtitles brought to you by the Just Keep Swimming Volunteer Team @ Viki

Are you crazy?

You actually used your reputation to publicly vouch for Tang Yibai?!

If Tang Yibai withdraws from the competition today,

are you doing to quit being an athlete?

Give me a clear explanation!

If, for the rest of my life, I cannot thoroughly defeat Tang Yibai in the pool,

even when I'm standing at the peak of my career, I'll find it pointless.

So, stop spreading rumors, and stop telling him to withdraw!

Do you really care about him that much?

Not me. You're the one who cares about him!

You're the one who firmly believes that he's the only person who can beat me.

That's why you're foul playing.

You want him to withdraw? But have you ever considered what I think?

Ever since I started understanding things, there's only one thing that I've thought about.

That is, to help you accomplish your dream.

(For me) To become the nation's—even the world's—best swimmer.

So no matter how tough or painful my training was,

I clenched my teeth and persevered.

So that you would feel proud of me.

But what about you?

Always thinking that he was strong than me. Do you know how upset that made me?!

Xiao Heng, I actually...

To regain your attention,

no matter what, I'm going to completely defeat Tang Yibai in front of you.

This time, I will definitely prove that

nobody can defeat me. I'm the strongest!

You guys must be proud of me.

Xiao Heng!

This guys... He dares to copy me?

I was first in saying that I would withdraw for Yibai.

- But now he's the one who looks cool!- Qi Ruifeng is going crazy again.

How dare you copy me! What's Yibai's situation got to do with you?

What's it got to do with you? I'm Yibai's best friend! I'm the one who fails or wins together with him!

Alright, I'll give you my autograph!

Qi Ruifeng, what's wrong with you?

Alright, stop fighting.

This afternoon, the Dream Cup organizers will be holding a press conference

and giving an official statement on Yibai's situation.

What will they say in their statement?

The possibility of Yibai's suspension from the competition

was an entirely unfounded rumor.

From their perspective, they need to guarantee that every competitor

must have the opportunity to prove themselves.

So please, do not listen to these rumors.

That means that Yibai will be able to compete in the competition!

Of course. Yibai, congratulations!

But for the sake of being impartial, the organizers

will put athletes who have been suspended through several special tests

in addition to regular drug testing.

That's called being fair? They're obviously targeting our Yibai.

It's okay. To me, this is better.

No one will suspect me anymore.

Yibai, I'm glad that you're taking it that way.

Okay, you can all go now.

Go!

Coach, Qi Ruifeng has something to say to you!

What is it?

Coach, I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Without knowing anything, I let out my anger.

I... Just hit me.

I don't know anything. I deserve to be hit.

Just don't hit my face.

You dare to say I'm not qualified to be your coach?

You're something, aren't you.

Coach, I'm a grown person. Why are you hitting my butt?

Let's see if you dare say those things ever again!

Coach, keep hitting. I was worng!

It's good that you know you were in the wrong!

Sorry, Tang Yibai will no longer be accepting any interviews from the press.

Coach Wu, I'm not here for an interview.

I heard that the Dream Cup put out an official statement,

so I came to cheer Tang Yibai on as a friend.

Oh, so you're here to cheer on Tang Yibai?

All the more reason that I can't let you in to see him.

Because you were his friend, even though you were a reporter, we accommodated you.

But then your QKVideo put out such a report.

Do you know that you nearly ended Tang Yibai's career?

You can still call yourself his friend?

Coach Qu, I know that you won't understand,

- but I really—- You don't need to explain anymore.

I'm sure that after this ordeal, Tang Yibai will understand

he should never befriend a reporter.

Alright, you can leave.

Or should I send security over to have a chat with you?

Bye bye.

Why don't I send you back?

No thanks.

- Straighten your arm.- Okay.

Change your posture.

Our school belle is here to watch you practice again.

Hello!

Do you think he's interested in you?

Move aside. Let me.

Switch arms.

- Xiao Lü, give me a second.- Okay.

Can't you train seriously?

If you're not done warming up, what happens if you hurt yourself?

I got it, I got it. Can't you see that I'm seriously warming up right now?

Xiao Lü!

Come over here!

Go tell those unrelated persons

that we're currently training, and tell them to leave.

Got it, Captain.

Wait!

Xiang Yangyang, they just came to watch us train.

They're not affecting us, so why are you kicking them out?

Yeah. Their presence will only make us work harder.

- That's right!- What are you saying?!

I'm saying that, with pretty girls watching, our morale will rise.

Who would believe what you guys are saying?!

- Xiao Lü, tell them to leave immediately.- Got it!- You—

Aren't you leaving?

Stop pushing!

Xiang Yangyang, you're becoming more and more like Coach Yuan. You have zero femininity!

Girls come to cheer us on, but no boys come to cheer you on!

Who are you saying isn't feminine?

Is this acting feminine?

It hurts!

I can't be bothered to deal with you! I'm going to run.

What's wrong with her?

That rotten Qi Ruifeng. He says I'm not feminine.

If you don't even treat me like a woman, how would you know if I'm feminine or not?

It pisses me off!
