My Mr. Mermaid

Episode 11

Auntie Lu

What happened that you are so happy?

Your Auntie Lu's precious son came home yesterday for a rare visit.

How can she not be happy?

Look at her smile,she's practically on cloud nine.

Bullshit

What person would need that brat to come hometo be happy? Not me.

Don't you know why I'm happy?

Why are you?

It's all because my Baby Fei is home earlier so I'm happy.

Yun Duo, you are such a luck charm to us.

Before I used to be in this house all by myself.No one cared about me.

The second day you're here, my husband stops working and comes home early.

Even my ungrateful son comes home from school and visits me.

Are you luck charm, aren't you?

How so?

Why lately are there so many people complimenting me as luck charm?

What did you say?

Nothing. Uncle and Aunt, I'm meeting my friend, so I have to leave now. I'll get going first.

Enjoy your time.

- Bye. - Bye.

Be safe.

She is such a nice girl. I really like her.

Let me tell you something. I haven't seen Tang Yibai in so long.

When I saw him yesterday,

a sudden thought came to me.

I think he and Yun Duo look good together. What do you think?

You should stop having random thoughts.

You may scare away your son from coming home.

This is the pool that I used to train in everyday during high school.

It's also the place where I got my high school tournament gold medal.

Back then, whenever I was done with training, my favorite thing was

to sit by the pool and have Popsicle.

Calming myself down by enjoying the swimming pool with no one it it.

At that time, I felt that it was really easy to feel satisfied.

I understand now. This is your starting point.

It was here that I decided that no matter the struggles,

I would never give up and would keep moving forward.

until I become the fastest male swimmer in the world.

This is for you.

What is this?

Qi Ruifeng told me last time that you were in your bottleneck now. So I went to do some research.

All these are training methods from professionals home and abroad.

Also including how they deal with bottleneck.

I translated the English parts as well.

Nevermind. Don't look at it anymore.

What's wrong?

Do you think that I'm funny?

You're a swimmer who has received professional training since you were young.

Why am I trying to look for ways to help you?

I'm embarrassing myself in front of a professional.

You're wrong. I'm smiling because I'm happy.

Happy?

You probably spent a lot of time gathering those information.

You don't have to make me feel better. I know that I can't really help you in any way.

I'll get going.

Who says you can't help me?

You don't understand.

Any competition can't compare with having you by my side.

Because I realized, the only two times that I swam very well were when you were there.

You're just like my mascot.

It seems like as long as you're there, I can swim faster than everyone else does in the world.

Who's your mascot?

You. You're just my own exclusive mascot.

I'm done.

Can we watch it now?

Yes.

The left side is my current self. The right side is me, 4 years ago at my high school competition.

They're both the 100 meter freestyle swimming. 4 years ago,

It doesn't matter whether it was diving, swimming or breathing, they were a lot more fluent compared to now.

I don't really understand what you said.

But I can see one difference.

You looked happier when you swam four years ago.

Why did you swim four years ago?

Why do you swim now?

We still haven't found a solution after spending a whole day.

It's okay. I know that I can't rush this.

You're still saying it's alright? You're getting creases from frowning.

You can make a bowknot out of those creases.

You must feel really pressured.

Although I can't help you find a way to make a breakthrough,

But I can help you release your stress. Follow me.

I do this whenever I feel stressed.

Close your eyes. Lift your arms.

Take a deep breath.

You have to use a lot of power, as if you're

sucking in hundreds of square kilometers of air.

What are you looking at? You should do it, too.

I did it already.

When? I didn't even see it.

My stress is all gone now, so you can't see it.

What?

I think the answer that Coach Yuan wants you to find

is the smile on your face right now.

Just like your past self and your current self,

Even though you have the same dream,

I can say that you felt happier back then.

Hey Yibai.

I heard that last week, you went to your high school swimming club.

Yes. Head Coach Yuan gave me some suggestions so I could get over my problems.

I didn't know what to do, so I went back there to see if I could find an answer.

In conclusion, did you find an answer?

Don't rush. There's still time. Go practice.

Go to the swimming pool.

Ok.

Coach Wu, I know you treat me the best. Let me send a text.

Only one text.

You sure are brave now.

It's not even two days yet and you want your phone back already.

Hurry and go practice.

Ok.

Hurry up.

Morning.

There are 13 interns.

Boss Liu will only keep the top two.

Yun Duo, stop spacing out.

Pause on what you're working on. We have a meeting.

Alright.

Coach, I have something to ask you.

What is it?

Coach, when announcing the participant list for the Dream Cup,

you said that there was a vacancy

for the 100 meter freestyle.

We'll have an internal selection soon then, right?

That's right. That's what I said.

If that's the case, I would like to join too.

I hope that you can put your efforts towards the butterfly. After all—

If I didn't guess wrong,

you already decided to have Yibai compete, right?

Coach, I'm not questioning your decision.

I just think I must remind you.

Yibai's performance is at his lowest right now. His 100 meter freestyle is far worse than mine.

So, I don't think Yibai can win the Dream Cup for us.

Chen Zi Chan, how dare you?

Qi Ruifeng.

Let him finish what he has to say.

Coach, you made me do butterfly style because of the team.

I worked so hard, but the results aren't that great.

I don't have the confidence to do well in butterfly style for our team.

So, what do you plan on doing?

I want you and Coach Wu to give me a chance.

Give me a chance to prove that I am more worthy than Tang Yibai.

Let me participate in the selection.

Head Coach Yuan.

I also can't accept it.

Before I can actually prove myself worthy,

I am forced to give up my dreams.

Allow Chen Zi Chan and I compete for the spot.

Didn't we say that we will compete fairly? Whoever wins gets the spot.

No matter what the results are, we won't be unhappy.

How long has it been?

How could you write such thing?

I mentioned many times.

One must optimistically report the news.

How could you put your own point of view into it? Rewrite it.

Ok Boss Liu. I will correct my mistakes.

Goodness, they must be under a lot of pressure for a battle like this.

I'm not sure if Yibai can handle it.

Don't be funny. He is Tang Yibai.

This little pressure can't stop him.

We can't be sure. Who knows if Chen Ziqiang might be the straw to break the camel's back?

Yibai's situation seems simple, but it's the most difficult to deal with.

He wants to win so badly, so he is extremely pressured. Even his style changed.

Other than that, the main problem is

that he uses up all his energy at the start.

He has no more energy by the end of it.

If we intentionally tell him, it might cause backlash effect.

You're right. If you want an overly pressured person to reduce their pressure,

it will make him even more pressured.

Every athlete must deal with how to minimize their pressure.

If Tang Yibai doesn't overcome it,

his swimming path might just end here.

Yang Yang.

I'm here.

Though I can't help you find a way to surpass your current limitations,

I can help you minimize your pressure.

First, close your eyes, raise your arms.

Breathe in.

I believe that Head Coach Yuan wanted you to discover

the smile on your face.

It is like the you from four years ago.

The you back then and the you now are both after the same dream.

However, I can feel that you were much more happy back then.

Ready.

Oh no.

Yibai actually fell back at the start.

It seems like this competition already ended. Tang Yibai have lost.

Coach, the competition hasn't even ended. How could you make such presumptions?

Yibai's problem is that he wants to win so badly.

Every time he starts, he already tried his best.

That's good. What's bad about it? I do the same.

The problem is that from what we see.

His later half is always slower than his earlier half.

If he doesn't gain a definitive lead in the first half,

it will be impossible for him to turn things around in the second half.

Right now, he's behind Chen Zi Chan.

I'm saying Yun Duo.

I am very curious.

Why are you so happy after you just got scold at?

Really? No way.

Thank you for helping me find myself from four years ago.

The one that is always happily chasing after his dreams.

I hope that no matter what we experience in the future,

we can happily chase after our dreams.

♫ Hello. At a confused time, ♫

♫ you want to find happiness and carefreeness. ♫

♫ Hello. At the end of fantasy ♫

What you guys said was too early. Take a look.

♫ The fearless ones, the cute ones. ♫

Look. Yibai is ahead of the game.

♫ I want to use all aspects of love to prove to it you ♫

Is it just me? How is he swimming faster than before?

♫ to love you. ♫

♫ Nobody wants to endure the past pains, ♫

Fighting Tang Yibai! Did you hear me? Swim faster!

Fighting!♫ I want to use all aspects of love to prove to it you ♫

Fighting!♫ because I want to pursue sincere inspiration to love you. ♫

♫ All the exciting moments will never be forgotten. ♫

♫ Let us cheer loudly after our victory. ♫

He won!

Yang Yang, what's the time?

49.55 seconds.

49.55 seconds. Beautiful!

Oh my god.

Runmei, I told you Yibai could overcome it.

Now you don't have any reason not to give the 100 meter freestyle to Yibai.

You're the best Tang Yibai.

Like I said.

Yibai, good job. I believed in you.

Can you consider Chen Zi Chan's feelings?

Master, I prepared your lunch. It's all green.

It's very healthy. It's all your favorites.

You can eat while writing your paper.

I just hope that you will stop fighting with me. Your body will fail if you don't eat.

I am your assistance. It is my job to take care of you and to make your life easier.

This is the information for the interviews this week.

This is your schedule for this week's interviews.

Here's all the interviewees and information. I have prepared it for you.

If you have no problems, I will contact them immediately.

Also, I want to say that I was wrong previously.

I want to apologize.

I just want you to know that I never wanted to make it hard for you.

That's all I wanted to say. You may get to work.

Stop right there. You said so much at once. You didn't give me the chance to talk.

Who is who's assistant?

I want to ask you. You probably didn't eat yet right?

If you didn't eat yet, let's eat and talk about the information you provided me.

What?

What what?

Are you asking me to have lunch with you?

Or am I asking you to have a fight with me?

Of course not. I thought you were still mad at me for Tang Yibai's situation.

Yes. I am mad at you.

However, Tang Yibai isn't mad at you anymore. So, why would I be mad?

Tang Yibai isn't mad anymore? What do you mean?

I already cleared up the misunderstanding with Tang Yibai a while back.

I realized we always misunderstand each other for some small things. I don't like that.

So, you're not mad at me anymore because of Tang Yibai?

Of course. What do you think? I still have to say though.

Don't ever stab someone in the back anymore.

Ok ok. Let's go eat.

Let's go. I'm hungry.

Alright.

Take the papers.

MingTian, did you see Chen Zi Chan?

Nope. Since he competed with Yibai, I haven't seen him.

He won't even come to the practice competition.

I heard that he shut himself inside his dorm.

This year is his last year participating in Dream Cup competition.

He probably feels terrible about losing.

What's he unhappy about? If he's unhappy, he should have worked harder.

He should work harder for the team and win back some more medals.

Do you know how hard he worked in order to get a chance to compete for the 100 meters freestyle?

He suddenly had to give that up and go with butterfly style. Of course, he will feel uneasy.

Qi Ruifeng, you must be responsible as the team leader.

Go talk to him.

I know, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff.

Xiang Yangyang,

You're a girl. How about you go and coax him?

You can finally see that I'm a girl.

Xiang Yangyang, you can't possibly be that petty. I'm just asking for your help.

When would I have time? I am very busy.

Go talk to him yourself.

Don't leave.

Let's eat.

So romantic.

I want to be young again and I want to be in more relationships.

They're so crazy in love.

I'm back Auntie Luo.

Yun Duo, you're back.

Why are you back so late?

I had to work overtime today.

Did you have dinner yet?

My husband and son aren't here. I'm too lazy to cook. (OST from Because of you drama)

If I cook too much, my hands would look ugly.

I had some coffee and some dim sum.

That's my dinner.

You only ate that little?

That's right.

You can't do that for dinner?

How about this? I bought some groceries. How about I cook? We can eat together.

That's the plan. I'm going to go wash the veggies now.

Yun Duo, you.

Yun Duo, you can sure do everything.

One can spend a lot when living alone out there.

I can't eat take out every day. I can be healthy while saving money if I cook myself.

You sure understand a lot.

Girls like you.

Doesn't your boyfriend want to marry you badly?

Auntie Luo, don't be funny. I don't have a boyfriend.

No boyfriend? How? You're so cute.

You have a good personality and a good job. A ton of guys are probably chasing after you.

Did you forget? I'm a reporter.

I chase after others. No one would chase after me.

You cannot not date because of work.

Girl's young time is more precious than gold.

I knew you would be here.

You're too over exaggerated right? You swim until this late.

I'm not the only one.

You're not the only one? You mean there's someone(ghost) else?

Be more serious. I'm being serious.

During this time,

I always see Chen Zi Chang whenever I come.

No matter how late I practice, he would practice until then.

He is so tired already, but he won't give up practicing.

It's like he doesn't want to lose to me when it comes to practicing time.

He wants to practice longer than me.

I always tell him to take a break if he's tired.

He will tell me every time.

No. If I'm here, his practice will not end.

However, today is the first day I didn't see him here.

Alright. Stop putting up that face.

Chen Zi Chan asked for the competition today. He has to accept the results.

If you always pity him, he will look bad.

I am not pitying him.

I just remember that he told me the reason that he doesn't want to lose to me.

Let me ask you a quesiton.

Why are you practicing so hard?

Do I have to say more? I just want to be the fastest swimmer in this world.

That is my dream. What about you? Why are you practicing so hard?

It's very simple. I don't want to disappoint my dad.

You know. My dad used to be a sports medicine physician.

Every time he mentioned the athletes, my dad would always have an incomparably proud expression.

Every time I see that proudness of his,

I want to be someone that my dad can be proud of.

That is why I told my dad that I will become China's best swimmer.

I never thought that

he believed a kid's words.

Since that day, my dad would take me to practice every day.

To be truthful, my family's financial condition isn't the best.

However, in order to allow me to be a good swimmer,

he worked hard to earn money and he even mortgaged our house.

He did so to find a good coach to teach me.

However, even if I practice very hard,

to this day, I've only won a county championship.

Go ahead and laugh. I've never won a competition aside from the county one.

When everyone made my dad a laughing stock,

he still believed

that I can become China's best swimmer one day.

That's the reason why you can't lose to me.

That's right. I want to prove to my dad that he should not feel ashamed.

I don't have a reason to lose to Tang Yibai.

I am working hard for my dream too.

I don't have a reason to lose to you either.

So, in conclusion?

Competing fair and square.

Whoever wins gets the spot.

No one is allowed to be mad.

Let's go.

Let's continue.

Who's afraid?

So you have this situation with Chen Zi Chan?

No wonder you care about him losing.

As your best buddy, how dare you do such thing with him?

Do you ever think about my feelings?

I'm too crazy to talk to you about such things.

No, I'm not kidding. My heart feels hurt.

How could you high-five with him secretly? Do you have me in your heart?

You must know that only good buddies like us can high-five each other.

Alright. Let's go.

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

Yun Duo. I have to say this.

How could you not date anyone?

I feel sinful if I don't say something.

Auntie Luo, didn't you say that we would not talk about boyfriends?

You already talked all day about boyfriends.

I am just treating you as my child. That's why I worry about your happiness.

Thank you Auntie Luo, but I'm not planning on dating right now.

What? You don't want to date?

Do you really not want to?

I don't care if you laugh at me. I dated very early.

Don't laugh. It's the truth.

Like, even now, there's a young girl living in my heart.

Girls can't not be in love.

That's meaningless.

When I got into the media college, my parents were actually quite opposed to it.

They hope that I would stay by their side and find a job nearby.

However, I persist on coming here for work.

That's why I want to have an accomplishment in my career.

In order for them to not worry nor be ashamed of me.

I want them to know that I can grow up without them by my side.

So, I want to focus on my work. I haven't really thought about dating.

I disagree with your view.

Why wait until you're settled in the work field? You'll be old by then.

The citron daylilies will be long cold by then. That's too long.

Let me tell you. Work and love can work together.

The amount you guys earn

and your accomplishments are both important.

However, your parents care more about

if you guys are happy and if you guys could live happily.

Finding true happiness is the most important.

This is our biggest hope.

Let's talk about my unfilial son. He doesn't understand this.

He only thinks about competing and breaking records.

He tired himself out.

It makes me so depressed.

When he was little, he would call for me every night.

Mommy, mommy, come here.

Hold my small hand and sing to me. Otherwise, I can't sleep.

Now,

he grew up.

it's difficult to see him.

Actually, I want him to come home

is not just to see me,

I just want him to forget about practicing for a second and to relax a bit.

I want him to have a chat with me and to eat a meal with me.

But he's taken my concern for him as willfulness.

Why don't you just tell him directly your thought?

It's useless.

The most important thing to him is competing.

I just hope that

he can put a girl in his heart.

Then, he will understand what it feels like to care and worry about someone.

It's beautiful.

So, the quickest way is to find a girl.

Put her in his heart.

Thank you for listening to me.

Mrs. Tang, hold up. I just found Yibai.

Yibai.

What is it Coach? It's your mom.

Hello mom. What's the hurry?

It's very important.

♫ It's beautiful. ♫

♫ My courage to love you ♫
