[My Mr. Mermaid]

-Episode 12-

Mrs.Tang, hold on a second. I just found Yibai.

Yibai, Yibai.

-What's wrong, coach?-Your mom's calling you.

Hi mom, what's the emergency?

Well the thing is about the new tenant.

That little girl. I think she's good fit for you.

I want to introduce you two to each other.

Mom, I'm hanging up. I just finish training and feel exhausted.

-I'm going back to dorm and will call you back soon.-Wait. Wait.

You...

So what's going on?

Well...

Hello Aunt Lu?

Yes, it's me.

Let me ask you something. Is my ungrateful son right by your side?

Yes, he's right next to me.

Good. Put me on speaker and I need to talk to him.

Sure. No problem.

Aunt Lu

Your mom.

Tang Yibai, you're such an ungrateful son.

You think you can just hang up on me whenever you want?

I'm trying to introduce this nice girl to you.

For real., she has great personality.

Very lovable, hardworking and knowing how to cook.

It's very hard to find a girl like this nowadays.

Do you understand it or not?

Mom, stop right there.

Give me your phone.

QQ, don't your phone to him.

If you do, he will surely hang up on me again.

Got it aunt. I won't let that happen. Don't worry.

Tang Yibai, can you just come back home for dinner?

Just dinner!

During dinner, I will introduce her to you.

Mom, stop it. I have training tomorrow. I can't make it.

Tang Yibai, I'm telling you right now. Don't play the training card on me.

How many time have you used that as excuses?

Coach Wu is right here with me. If you don't believe me, go head and ask him.

-Yes...-Coah Wu, don't I have a very important training to attend tomorrow night?

Mrs.Tang, it is true. The competition is coming up,

so the whole swim team is training very hard to get ready.

Coach Wu?

You have successfully stolen my son from me.

365 days a year. I barely see him. Do you know that?

Right now, all I want is to have him come back home and have dinner with his mom.

It's not too much to ask, don't you think?

I'm telling you if you're not helping me on this...

and I end up missing this great daughter-in-law, I will come after you.

I will surely hold you accountable.

Mrs.Tang, you made your point.

I will sent Tang Yibai home as soon as the training is finished tomorrow night.

-Coach Wu!-Alright, bye bye.

Just go and play along with her.

Whatever. I'm not going tomorrow for sure.

Coach?

Come in.

Coach...

What's going on? Go ahead.

Can I trouble you for something?

I hope one day...

he can fall in love with a girl...

so he knows what it takes to be with someone.

Who's the one living in my heart?

Could it be Mr.Mermaid?

But I don't even know what he looks like and what's his name.

Does this even count?

This is your luck charm now just in case you fall into swimming pool again.

Then what about Tang Yibai?

hi there, you officially got my attention. Want an autograph?

What are you doing?

Qi Ruifeng, what's up with you? You seem to be everywhere.

Why did you sign on it? It's all because of your autograph.

Erase. Erase. Erase.

AON MALL

Can you help me to erase the autograph on it?

Whose autograph is it?

Qi Ruifeng's.

Then you shouldn't do it. Swimming goggles with his autograph on it can sell at a great price.

How about doing an exchange with a brand new one from this store?

I can't. It's a gift from a friend and means a lot to me.

I don't want other's autograph on it.

I see. But looks like it's from a permanent marker.

I'm afraid it can't be erased.

Yun Duo?

Yangyang!

-What a coincidence!-I'm doing some shopping. What are you doing here?

Nothing. I'm just looking for help with my swimming goggles.

What swimming goggles?

The one Tang Yibai gave to me.

It's from Tang Yibai?! Can I take a look?

How come does Qi Ruifeng's autograph appear on here?

Don't mention it. It's a gift from Tang Yibai.

But Qi Ruifeng arrogantly signed on it.

It does resonate with his personality.

I have tried so many different ways to get rid of it but failed.

That's why I'm here to come to help.

I don't think you can erase it, but...

I think you can change the lens.

Really? Can you do that?

If you want, we offer engraving as well.

So we can engrave any character you want on the lens.

Wow you can do engraving on it?!

That's so cool. What do you think, Yun Duo?

Of course. I will do it.

Then what are you going to engrave on it?

Let me think about it.

Yibai, you're really not going back home tonight?

Who knows? Maybe your mom picks a right girl for you.

Stop it. I am not going. Period.

Alright. As you wish.

But I just found out one thing

which makes me believe in coincidences everywhere.

Right after your mom trying to introduce this girl to you, Yun Duo's landlord then called me.

Saying if Yun Duo's single she will introduce a guy to her.

And it's on tonight as well.

Do you have any idea what kind of guy it will be?

What do you think? it's her own son.

Her own son?!

The one I mentioned to you before who cares girls more than his friends...

and his own mom.

Yun Duo, what characters do you choose to engrave on it?

It's a secret. I can't tell you now.

Don't tell me it's Tang Yibai's name on it.

How come? No way.

Yangyang, you bought a lot swimming goggles and caps for guys.

This is not for myself. I'm shopping for someone else.

-Who is this guy?-Who could it be? Qi Ruifeng.

-Qi Ruifeng?!-Yep.

He has a bad habit of not keeping track of his stuff.

So he always ends up with either losing his cap or goggles.

And he has high requirements. If the style or color...

doesn't match his taste, he will be not comfortable in them.

Yangyang, you're being so nice to him. Come all the way to shop for him.

What are you talking about? I don't come all the way just for him.

I'm just stopping by. In case he freaks out over his gap or goggles right before the competition.

-Let me take this call.-Go ahead.

-Yun Duo?-Yes, Aunt Lu?

Are you...you off from work already?

Yes I am.

That's great. You're off. Do you still remember last time...

-I mentioned I would introduce a great guy to you?-Really?

Come over and let's have dinner together. I...

I already talked to that guy. He's coming too.

What...what kind of guy?

Aunt Lu, I'm so confused now. I don't know what you are talking about.

I will be here. It won't be awkward.

I'm not talking about whether it will be awkward or not. I'm just so confused now.

Don't feel pressure.

Just pretend you're coming over for dinner after work

and making a new friend over dinner.

It's not a bad thing, don't you agree?

Aunt Lu, I very appreciate your kindness.

But...Yangyang...

Something comes up. I don't think I will be able to make it.

Then what time will you be free?

9 p.m.

It will be too late for dinner by then.

Alright, I understand.

Since you brought it up, what can I do?

How about this? I will talk to that guy...

and postpone the dinner until 9 p.m.

So just head over here as soon as you're free.

-Alright. Alright. Deal.-But...

I will be waiting for you.

Yun Duo, you are such an idiot.

Why aren't you being straightforward and tell Aunt Lu you don't want to go? What's point of lying?

It's not helping anyway.

What's wrong, Yun Duo? Why are you getting so nervous after the phone call?

Not nervous. My landlord is trying to set me up with this guy and invite me over for dinner.

Setting you up with a guy?

I want to say no, but she is not giving me a chance.

What time will it be?

What if I go there with you together?

Are you sure?

With a company, you won't feel awkward.

Are you sure about this, Yangyang? You're the best.

It's a piece of cake. Besides, I think it will be interesting.

I have never been to a blind date.

Let's go shopping.

Yibai, your home is around here, right?

-Not this one.-We're not there yet?

Where is this place you are talking about?

We're almost there.

Right over here.

Is this the place where Yun Duo is supposed to meet up with her landlord?

Yes, exactly.

I think it's about time. Yun Duo should be here soon.

Let's get inside and not wait any longer.

You can say she's yours. Except you, no one can go near her.

What's that look? Aren't we here to rescue her?

What are you talking about? I'm not here to ruin her blind date.

I'm here as a friend and show her my caring.

As a friend? Is really that simple?

It is that simple.

But if that guy doesn't turn out to be a nice one,

we could come up with something and rescue her by then.

Stop beat around the bush. You are here to rescue her.

I'm not listening to you.

Tang Yibai!

Aunt!

I thought you are not going to show up. Surprisingly, you're here on time.

I will go ahead and place some orders for us.

Is there anything particular you two want?

Let me go order soup first.

No problem. Aunt.

Qi Ruifeng?

This is all pure coincidence.

Looks like your mom chooses the same restaurant where Yun Duo will have her blind date.

Qi Ruifeng!

What are you doing?

I'm serious. This is all pure coincidence.

But there is no point of arguing right now. Let's go inside first.

We can talk it out later.

According to what you said, Head coach Yuan planned on

having Tang Yibai do the 100 meters freestyle.

It should be.

No matter what, Tang Yibai can compete for the Dream Cup.

Yun Duo, why are you always smiling when we talk about Tang Yibai?

No. I'm smiling everyday for 365 days.

It's not the same. Whenever we speak of Tang Yibai,

your smile is different.

Nothing is different. What about you?

When I speak of Qi Ruifeng, your expression is different.

I'm just puzzled that, considering Qi Ruifeng's personality,

Why would you be so nice to him?

Disregard his usual way, he's quite nice to me.

Really? How is he nice to you?

I remember when I first moved into the dorms.

It's too hard for a girl to do this. Let me help you.

Let me help. It's fine. I can do it.

It's fine. Let me.

Thank you.

Give me. It's fine. I can hold this one.

Are you living in the new dorms?

Yes.

We're here. This is your dorms.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Here is some water.

You're a new student? Me too. I'm Qi Ruifeng. What about you?

I'm also a new student. My name is...

I'm so sorry! I was washing the window.

I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.

Are you ok?

I'm fine. Thank you.

No problem. If you want to thank, you should thank this bottle of water.

So, you're repaying your savior?

No wonder you're treating him so well.

Yes, I'm repaying him for saving me.

He keeps using this situation to make me do things for him.

He treats me as a slave. Makes me mad.

That seems like what Qi Ruifeng would do.

I sure hoped he didn't save me that one time.

Yangyang, wait a second. I'm going to take a look at something.

Alright. I'll wait for you.

Do you like it?

It looks ok.

Go try it on.

No. It doesn't look like it fits me.

How do you know if you haven't tried it yet?

Don't you need to eat with your landlord? Let's go.

It's fine. We have time. Let's go.

Go try it.

Yangyang, you good? Do you need help?

I'm done changing.

Come out.

I think this dress looks especially ugly on me.

Let me see. Come out.

Come out. Let me see.

It looks great.

My shoulder is so wide.

It looks weird.

Look at yourself. You look amazing.

Really? Really.

I noticed dresses suit you very well.

It looks good to show off your legs.

Buy it.

Alright. I'll listen to you. I'm buying it.

Yun Duo, could you take a picture for me? I haven't wore dresses before.

Of course, I can.

Here. One, two, three.

Alright.

Congratulations. The board of directors has approved your proposal.

They're very pleased with your resource integration plan.

Barring any unexpected incidents, official execution will begin shortly.

That's good.

Board of directors? Proposal?

Isn't Lin Zi Yun Duo's assistant?

Why is he related to this?

I've also looked over the proposal. Are you certain that there don't need to be any employee cuts?

No need. No one needs to leave.

That's great. I feel like I can exhale now.

When you joined us as a reporter's assistant,

I thought you wanted to make a list of people to fire.

But your proposal for resource integration was about increasing collaboration.

I didn't expect that.

Most of the time, when someone wants to integrate resources, their first move is to cut staff.

But they don't realize that the reduction in manpower also reduces marketplace competitiveness.

You are indeed of a different caliber.

I'll be leaving now.

This way.

If you have anything else, let me know.

Alright.

Take care.

Yun Duo, do I really have to dress like this?

I feel uncomfortable.

It's great. You're just not use to it yet.

It'll be fine once you get use to it.

That's not right. You're the one on a blind date. Why am I dressing like this?

It's a good thing. What if the guy falls for you?

What do you mean?

Really. It looks good. I'm not lying.

Yibai, where are you going? The girl your mom looked for you isn't here yet.

How dare you say that? How dare you trick me with my mom?

I didn't lie. Yun Duo is really here on a blind date.

Do you still think I'll believe you?

If you don't believe me, you could go ask...

Hello, why are you guys here?

Yun Duo, why are you here?

Didn't your landlord find you a boyfriend?

Why are you here shopping with your colleague?

Where are your eyes? Did you see who this is?

Xiang Yangyang.

Why so over exaggerated? I'm just wearing a dress.

Why are you wearing a dress? I didn't recognize you.

Why are you out here scaring people?

Can I not wear dresses?

Don't you think she's pretty in a dress?

What do you think Tang Yibai?

I think it look great.

The dress does look good.

But, it looks wrong on Yangyang. It's like a guy pretending to be a girl.

What are you saying? It looks great.

What looks good? Her legs are so thick.

Xiang Yangyang, I would prefer that you wear athletic suits. It suits you more.

Alright. I don't look like a girl at all.

In your eyes, I'm not even a girl. Good enough?

No. Yang..

Yun Duo, why is Xiang Yangyang mad?

What do you think? Do you know what you said really hurts a girl's self-confidence?

Hurting self-confidence?

It's not that serious. I was kidding.

Of course it is serious.

You sure don't understand girls.

Why are you standing there? Go after her and apologize.

Yun Duo is right. You're wrong this time.

You were too mean. Go apologize.

Go. Hurry up.

Hurry and go.

I know. I'm going.

♫ I’ve hid for too long, but I still need a stage to perform on. ♫

♫ I calmed my heart. ♫

♫ The spotlights are on. ♫

♫ I’ve ran away for too long. The lock to my heart has already rusted. ♫

♫ I miss you so much that I don’t know what to say. I can’t stop. ♫

A small card for Qi Ruifeng.

I heard that last year's junior high butterfly champion,

- the girl named Xiang Yangyang, goes to our school!- Xiang Yangyang?

I know her! I heard about her in junior high.

They say that she's got the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear.(a stocky build)

She looks like a daikon!♫...abandoned halfway through a trip, ♫

♫ waiting for rescue ♫

♫ But I want to use all my strength to protect you ♫

Tomboy, why did are you looking for me?

Didn't I tell you to stop calling me Tomboy. It sounds terrible.

How can it sound terrible? It's a compliment.

What other girl is as scary as you?

♫ I welcome the breeze, strolling to and fro ♫

♫ My thoughts toss and turn, pushing me away ♫

I really don't have any aura of femininity.

I'll cheer you on at your next competition, Sister Yangyang!

Jiayou!

Xiang Yangyang, when other girls act cute, they're like a goddess. (nü shen)

When you act cute, you're a crazy woman! (nü shen jing)

♫ Like me. ♫

♫ After too long, my shadow will be covered in dust ♫

Where did she go?

Yangyang.

Why are you here? I've been looking for you.

It was my mistake.

Come back with me.

Let go.

Yangyang.

♫...secretly fallen in love ♫

♫ I take back my heart that’s weak and afraid of failure. ♫

♫ Are you ready for all of this? ♫

♫ Like me. ♫

Qi Ruifeng is such a pighead. How could he speak to a girl like that?

Yangyang probably feels terrible.

I'm worried that Qi Ruifeng doesn't use his brain when he speaks.

He will make Yangyang mad again halfway through his apologizing.

That is possible.

If you're in a hurry, you can leave first.

I'm not in a hurry.

Really

I heard Qi Ruifeng say that your landlord is introducing a boyfriend for you.

It's nothing. My landlord sent me a text saying the guy can't make it.

Really? That's a good thing.

Good thing? What do you mean?

I'm saying... It's good that I'm not wasting your time.

Why is Qi Ruifeng telling you this?

Why can't he tell me? Do you not want me to know?

I don't mean that.

It's awkward. It sounds like

I really want a boyfriend right now as if I really want to be in a relationship.

So you're saying you don't want to date or find a boyfriend right now?

No. I just want it to be natural.

Let's not talk about that. It's awkward.

That's right. I forgot to congratulate you.

I heard you got the spot to compete in 100 meters freestyle.

Thanks.

What is it? Isn't it suppose to be a happy thing?

You don't seem happy.

It's not that I'm not happy.

What is it? What happened?

I also thought that I would be super happy after I got the spot.

But, the situation is not what I expected.

The usual me doesn't care about people who lost to me.

Because competitions is about winning and losing.

However, when I saw Chen Zi Chan's expression from losing to me,

I feel like one won't be that happy after winning.

Instead, one will feel burdened.

Why? Why? Why?

Why?

It's fine.

Didn't we say

competing fair and square? Whoever wins gets the spot.

I won't be mad.

Don't worry about me. Fighting!

Win the Dream Cup for me.

You can do it.

When I watch him leaving,

I really wanted to say something.

But, I couldn't say a word.

Is Chen Zi Chan the teammate who competed with you for the spot?

I can imagine his feelings.

I also understand how you feel from seeing him like that.

However, you can't keep thinking about others and forget about your competition.

Don't forget that I have to interview you.

How about this?

If you can't let this go, how about forgetting about just winning other people during the competition?

Forgetting about just winning?

Yes. Forget about just winning.

Just don't lose to yourself.

Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?

Yun Duo, I really think that you're smarter than me sometimes.

You always clear my thoughts with simple ideas.

I've always been smart.

How dumb am I in your heart?

No. You're a bit smarter than Qi Ruifeng.

You're comparing me with Qi Ruifeng?

If I'm only a bit smarter than him, that's a melodrama.

I.. I'll take that back.

Qi Ruifeng.

Where's Yangyang? Why did you come back alone?

Did you make her mad again?

Don't mention it.

I'm heading back.

How long has Brother Feng been sad over there?

It's been almost two hours.

Brother Yibai, what's wrong with Qi Ruifeng?

What's wrong? I'm not use to it.

I asked, but he wouldn't say anything. I don't know what's wrong.

Don't bother him. He'll be fine.

I'm going to do laundry. Keep an eye on him.

It was my mistake. Come back with me.

Let go.

Brother Feng, are you ok?

Let me ask you. If someone is crying in front of you, how would you feel?

I feel like I've seen this scene in a movie before.

He said, "When a guy sees

his loved one cries in front of him,

his heart would be in pain too."

I thought it was a lie.

What's so serious? Now,

I actually believe these words.

I never thought that I ever cared about her.

Brother Feng is saying his heart hurts. Is he sick?

He's sick badly. He must be insane.

I'm too sad. I have to go out.

Brother Feng, it's raining.

Maybe he was right.

I am sick.

I am really sick.

If not, why am I like this?

70, 71, 72, 73.

Look at Brother Feng. He doesn't look normal.

When is he ever normal?

What's wrong with you?

Brother Feng has been spacing out all morning,

and you seem so tired even before practice.

I don't want to be like this.

I'm anxious about the competition, so I didn't sleep well.

Let's gather up.

Head Coach Yuan said,

from today on, the guys team and girls team

will begin intensive training for the 4x100 team relay.

Guys team gather up.

Is everyone here?

Where's Chen Zi Chan?

Isn't he not feeling good because he lost?

Practice first. I'm going to go get him.

No need.

He won't be coming.

What do you mean?

Yesterday, Chen Zi Chan said he's leaving the team.

Why are you suddenly making this decision?

I've actually thought about quitting before.

I just never made up my mind.

This time after losing to Tang Yibai,

I understood that for my future,

I must make some decisions.

Chen Zi Chan!

What do you mean you're quitting now?

Is it just because you lost to Tang Yibai?

That's too selfish of you.

What do you think of our team?

Qi Ruifeng, calm down.

It's fine. I wanted to quit. I didn't tell you guys, so you can be mad at me.

Let me ask you. Do you really have to leave?

That's right. I must.

I don't understand. You can still swim. Why give up?

If you've hit a wall with your swimming,

We are brothers. We are a team. We can find a solution.

Qi Ruifeng, stop being so naive.

What team? What brothers?

Let me tell you. Swimming has always been an individual sport.

You must win in order to stay.

Did you think I didn't try?

When you work very hard, but you realize you don't have the talent.

Don't you want to give up then?

When you see everyone in the pool swimming in front of you,

should I continue to be brothers with you guys?

Don't be funny.

If others can, I can't.

I can't win anyways. I'll admit defeat.

Zi Chan, didn't we say we won't be mad about whoever wins.

You said your father wants to see you getting trophies.

You said you would prove to him.

Before you win, you will work hard in order to not disappoint him.

How could you give up like that?

♫ It's beautiful. ♫

♫ My courage to love you ♫

♫ is an intention that doesn’t need to be faked. ♫

♫ It’s a heart that is no longer perturbed. ♫

♫ Time will not stop. ♫

♫ Even if the skies heartlessly change, ♫

♫ I will stay with you. I will embrace you until the end. ♫

♫ The world is so big, ♫

♫ even if this lifetime is so small. ♫

♫ Fortunately, with you on my mind, everything has a meaning. ♫

♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫

♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your touched heart and smile, ♫

♫ I will believe in the impulse to love. ♫

♫ This time, I must say it outloud. ♫

♫ Forgive my slow retreat. ♫

♫ Start now, because of your existence and reliance on me, ♫

♫ we will not miss out on the future. ♫

♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫
