[My Mr. Mermaid]

- Episode 18 -

You clearly knew that I wanted you to stay away far away from Yibai, but you still came to look for him.

You even went farther this time, and asked for a personal interview.

You purposefully want to create trouble for me and Yibai, right?

No, no, no, Coach Wu. I think you misunderstood.

This is my job, I'm not trying to give you any problems.

Okay, I hope you can reconsider it. I won't bother you anymore. Bye.

Wait.

Runmei, can I express my opinion on this?

Of course, go ahead.

If it's really like what you say, little girl. Your interview

focuses on Tang Yibai's efforts during his everyday practice and displays his motivation towards his dream.

Runmei, maybe this interview

could help Tang Yibai gain some credibility

in front of the Asia Elite Training Team's coaches. This is a good opportunity.

- Coach Fei, I have a question to ask you.
- Go ahead.

If Tang Yibai really joins the Asia Elite Training Team, can I still interview him?

Of course, but by then, you'd have to interview him in America.

America?

You're saying, if he joins the team, he'd have to go to America?

Yes. Once he joins, I'll take him to America's training facility for secret training.

It would take at least...18 months.

Coach Wu, you're looking for me?

I have to talk about two things. Do you want to join the Asia Elite Training Team?

I haven't decided.

What is there to hesitate about?

It's such a good opportunity. Most people would be so happy hearing it.

If I were you, I'd agree to go immediately.

Coach Wu, you want me to go, too?

I've been losing to him my whole life, in both my swimming career and love life.

But after seeing how he helped you today, I can't help but admit defeat.

Coach Wu!

Today, he used one song and improved your time by a second and a half.

I lost fair and square.

Next to him, I should be called Fei Coach. "Fei" as in "fail."

Coach Wu, don't say that. You will always be the best coach in my heart.

Enough.

It's good if you leave with Fei Yu. It's better than staying with me.

You'll have a greater chance to become the fastest swimmer.

Think about if carefully. Don't make a decision you will regret.

I will.

Coach Wu, you told me you'd tell me two things. Then the 2nd thing...

Have her tell you the second thing herself.

If I didn't guess incorrectly, you're suggesting me to go interview with you,

to keep an eye on me because you're scared I'll expose your true identity to Yun Duo.

Right?

You only guessed half of it right. I do have a motive for suggesting to go with you,

but it's more than that.

What do you mean?

I want to make a deal with you. As long as you can help me keep this secret,

and keep my identity from Yun Duo, I can help you.

Are you trying to bribe me?

Okay, I want you to use James Lin's identity to accept my interview.

I knew you wouldn't agree, I was just joking.

I won't tell Yun Duo about your situation.

Rest assured. I want you to remain in debt to me.

Okay, don't try to act tough.

With your situation right now, you must need someone to help you.

What does that mean?

If I didn't guess wrong, Director Liu asked you to stay behind earlier

to say that if you don't improve your performance, you can't pass your internship.

That's weird. Something so important,

why didn't you tell Yun Duo when she asked you earlier?

Aren't you best friends?

It's because you realized Director Liu likes Yun Duo more and more.

You were scared to hurt your pride. That's why you didn't tell her. Right?

That's not it. Yun Duo and I have been great friends for many years.

I have always helped her, taken care of her, and helped her solve problems.

So we have grown used to living like that.

So, I don't want her to worry for me. That's why I didn't tell her.

It's not lying, like you said.

Okay, I don't care what you say. As long as you can live with it.

But don't worry, I won't let you fail.

I told you, the only purpose I came to this company was for Yun Duo.

And you are Yun Duo's best friend. She told me more than once

that her biggest wish is to pass the internship together with you.

Her wish is my wish.

I will do anything to get what she wants.

This is the real price I am using to bribe you.

Coach Yuan really let you do the personal interview?

Yeah. But she gave me two conditions.

Once she finds out that my interview interferes with your practice,

or I make up things, or write random stuff in the reports,

she will stop the interview immediately,

and never accept another one of QKVideo's interviews.

What's wrong?

You heard about me joining the Asia Elite Training Team, right?

Everyone gave an opinion on it. You haven't said anything.

I'm waiting to hear it.

I didn't say anything because I was waiting for you to say something.

- I...
- It's probably an occupational disease.

Instead of my opinion,

I want to know more how you feel.

I...

Tang Yibai, you're faced with such a hard decision,

do you have anything you want to say?

You're still interviewing at this time? You're such a professional.

Don't think of this as a camera or interview.

Just pretend that it is a tree hole.

Tree hole?

Yeah, like you can tell it any kind of secret

and it won't tell anyone. A tree hole.

As a swimmer, to be able to join the Asia Elite Training Team

is equivalent to standing in a worldwide stage. I will be closer to my dream,

but I have a group of teammates and coaches who worked together with me.

This is my starting point.

We promised to become champions together, and help South Physical become first in the nation again.

How could I easily break our promise?

More importantly, joining the Asia Elite Training Team

means that I will need to train overseas for more than a year.

I can't leave behind Coach Wu and Head Coach Yuan.

I can't leave behind my best friends, and most importantly, I can't leave...

I understand.

You can't leave Auntie Lu, Mr. Tang, and Erbai.

But I think that as long as it is your dream,

even if you're not by their side, they will still be supporting you.

You, too?

Of course! I am your number one fan.

Maybe I can go interview you overseas in the future.

Right now, don't treat yourself as a reporter, and don't treat me as an athlete.

Even more, don't treat me as your interviewee.

Tell me the truth.

Do you want me to abandon everything here to join the Asia Elite Training Team

or do you want me to stay to fulfill our promise to each other?

I remember you telling me that your dream is to become the fastest swimmer in the world.

So as your friend, of course I want you to accomplish your dream.

If joining the Asia Elite Training Team

leads you closer to your dream, why wouldn't you go?

Don't overthink.

No matter what choice you make, I will support you.

Okay, you should probably head back to training.

I still need to prepare materials for your interview.

Let's go.

By the way, when we went back to your high school last time,

wasn't there a DV camera filled with your videos from high school?

Yeah, what's the matter?

Could you let me borrow it?

I want to add some footage of you in high school into this interview.

No problem. I'll get it to you later.

Okay.

Little One, stop being so biased and only film Yibai.

I'm not only filming him. I'm filming you three.

Come to me! Look at me!

Stop messing around. You're so ugly.

Yes, yes. Don't forget me!

Stop filming.

Tang Yibai, you train so hard everyday. Don't you find it tiring or boring?

In order to achieve my dreams, this training is nothing.

What is your dream?

Do I even need to say?

It's to become the fastest male swimmer in this world, of course!

Tang Yibai, good luck.

Y-You finished running already?

Yes. Why did you come so early?

It's my first day of your personal interview. Of course, I can't be late.

It's only 6 a.m., though. It's a little too early.

It's not early. I have to record your everyday life and training, so I need to keep up with your tempo.

Moreover, you already finished running. Maybe I'm late.

I need to come earlier tomorrow so that I can record your running.

- I don't think that's necessary.
- It is!

This is the daily life of an athlete.

Honestly, I'm a little doubtful. Do people really want to watch me train?

Yes! Of course, they do!

Everyone wants to know the daily life of a highly skilled swimmer like you.

It must be interesting and fun.

Maybe we'll be able to see those brand-new training black technology

as seen in movies.

Don't be too excited about that. I'm afraid to disappoint you.

I won't be.

Don't mind me. Pretend like I don't exist. Continue training.

I really can ignore you?

Yes.

Continue training. I'll just film you from afar.

- Okay.
- Go train.

Okay.

Tang Yibai was absolutely right.

Turns out a swimmer's daily life has nothing to do with excitement.

Repetitious and tedious exercises,

repetitious seemingly identical actions,

repetitious training

of those core muscles I have never heard of before.

Just filming him felt dull.

I really don't know how he stands these numerously repetitious exercises

and unexciting days.

After many hours of filming, I realized one thing.

No matter how dull the training, no matter how many times he had to repeat it,

each time, Tang Yibai gave it his all.

In that moment, my heart was a little touched.

I never thought that for athletes like Tang Yibai,

their competition isn't merely in the swimming pool when faced against their opponent for a few seconds,

it is also in their every training session.

It is every minute, every second, of pushing through the pain of torn muscles.

It is the persistence through every drop of sweat that will make them stronger.

It is the look in their eyes, saying that they will not give up.

It is the growls to force them to keep going.

They are like repeated promises to their dreams.

At this moment, for some reason,

I admired Tang Yibai a lot

because I know that every moment he's experiencing now

is completely different from what I had imagined.

His every minute, every second, every heartbeat

hold a higher meaning because of his dream.

I want to cheer from the bottom of my heart for this kind of Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai, you can definitely become the fastest male swimmer

in the world. I believe in you.

Tang Yibai, can I ask you a few questions as the conclusion to today's interview?

Of course.

Great.

You are 22 years old today. Many people your age only think about

fun and exciting places.

Instead, you are undergoing strenuous training everyday.

The only places you go to are your dorm, swimming pool, and the gym.

Don't you think this type of life is hard?

Have you ever thought to do something other than swimming?

Absolutely not because I don't have time to waste.

No time?

You're 22 years old. All you have now is time.

That may be true for ordinary people,

but to swimmers, we don't have much time.

Even so for me, I can't waste a single second.

Sun Yang won his first national gold medal at the age of 16.

He attended the Olympics at age 18, and broke the world record at age 20.

Ye Shiwen entered the national swim team at age 12. She became a national champion at age 14.

She won an Olympic gold medal at age 16.

I, on the other hand, am already 22 years old.

If I still want to become the fastest male swimmer in the world,

I can't put my thoughts into other things.

Without outstanding achievements,

my swimming career will end here.

Don't worry, though. This wouldn't trouble me.

A good friend of mine once told me:

"If you don't give up, your dream will be right in front of your eyes."

Today was a success! Thank you.

Thanks to you, too.

By the way, this is for you.

Let me do this.

What is this?

You have to sit in front of the computer all day. Your eyes must be very tired.

Qi Ruifeng said that these are good for the eyes. Try them.

No, no, no. You already gave me your goggles before. I can't take anymore gifts from you.

My goggles? Didn't you engrave "dream" on them and returned them to me?

Moreover, I won a competition because of the goggles. Take this as a gift of thanks.

If you reject it, I'll be angry.

Fine, fine. Thank you, then.

[I am a goddess]

"I am a goddess?"

Does Qi Ruifeng also use this?

No. He's using a different type.

"Goddess" suits you.

Then, I'll leave now. Thank you.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I think I twisted it.

Are you really okay? I'll carry you.

No need! I can walk on my own.

It's a minor injury. It's fine.

- Let's go.
- Are you really okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Tang Yibai, let me down!

I'm really fine!

Tang Yibai, put me down. I'm fine, really.

Are you tired? Your body is very important.

Do you really not want me to carry you?

Don't talk. Just behave and stay on my back.

Fine, I won't talk.

Giddy up!

- Are you treating me like a horse?
- I didn't give you the command to stop. Why did you stop?

Yun Duo.

Auntie Lu.

You're still awake?

You are also awake?

Why are you working until this late hour? Will you hurt your body?

I'm fine. I'll go to sleep after this.

- You went to interview Yibai today?
- Yes.

I filmed his training session today.

Just watching him, I could tell how much hard work it was, but he has to train like this everyday.

I admire him more now.

What's there to admire? He picked this road.

He should know if it's going to be bitter or sweet.

As a mom, I really don't understand him.

Other people's kids live such an easy life in college.

Only he makes himself so tired.

Look at him.

This kind of training... What if he tires himself out?

Auntie Lu, don't worry about Tang Yibai.

Seeing how hard he works to train, how could I not worry?

You told me before that as parents, your biggest hope isn't to see him gain the greatest achievements.

Instead, you hope your child can be happy, right?

That's exactly what I meant. That's why I don't want him to continue his training.

Look. He's not only exhausted, but also stressed.

How can he be happy living like this?

Auntie Lu, take a closer look. Do you really think that Tang Yibai is not happy?

Did you realize that when Tang Yibai is investing all his energy into his training,

the atmosphere around him is different than usual?

Because only when he is working for his dream, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Auntie Lu, if you want him to be happy, maybe you can try not to oppose swimming.

Try to support him for doing what he wants.

I'm almost convinced by you.

Actually, I'm not against him for swimming.

I just don't want him to work so hard that he's torturing himself.

I know, but I believe that Tang Yibai really wants your support.

How about this? Let's go watch his competition next time and cheer for him.

Me? Going to his competition?

No. I'm not going. I never watch his competitions.

Listen. I didn't go to his competition and he still won.

What if he loses when I go?

He will blame me. I won't go.

How so? If you go, he will definitely not lose.

No. I'm definitely not going to his competition. Let's not talk about this anymore.

I'm going to sleep now. You should, too. Don't stay up too late.

Girls need enough sleep to get good skin and be pretty.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Auntie Lu.

Cheng Mei.

Has the topic of your exclusive interview been set?

Yes. I've already spoken to Director Liu. I will interview Ouyang Heng.

Ouyang Heng?

I heard that he never accepts interviews. Your goal is too difficult to reach.

I have to do it no matter what.

If I want to stay here, I must take on a challenge.

Alright, Yun Duo. You don't have to worry about me.

Maybe Ouyang Heng will change his mind once he sees me.

I'm going to North Physical now to try my luck.

Cheng Mei!

How about this? Let me go with you.

You? Why are you going?

I'm interested in interviewing Ouyang Heng.

Mentor, you can do Tang Yibai's interview alone. I won't follow you around this time.

You won't help me with Tang Yibai's exclusive interview?

I was never interested in his interview to begin with.

Moreover, because of Tang Yibai last time, you were angry for so long.

I don't want another fight between us because of him.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying this because I want to cut work.

I will write a report for Teacher Sun, explaining that I volunteered to go with Cheng Mei.

This is the research I did for you. Take a look.

Let's go, Cheng Mei.

Yun Duo, we'll get going.

Who's the disciple here?

He's so willful. Why do you get to decide everything? Why don't you be the mentor, then?

Tomorrow is North Physical's first round of point qualifiers.

Yes. Ouyang Heng should be in the swimming stadium right now, right?

Why is this light blinking?

There is a car that is too close behind us.

We are here.

How should we get into the swimming stadium?

Why are you helping me?

I'm returning you the favor.

Don't forget that you promised not to tell Yun Duo about my real identity.

So it's all because of Yun Duo. All right. Since you said you're helping me,

how should I get into the swimming stadium to interview Oyyang Heng?

He's not in the swimming stadium.

Then where is he?

He is really here.

Just wait for me here. I'll go over there.

Indeed, you're here.

Brother Lin Zi.

Long time no see.

How did you know that I was here?

Xiao Sang told me.

Lin Zi and Ouyang Heng look like they've known each other for a long time.

What is their relationship?

She once told me that you would always disappear before a competition,

so that nobody can find you except her.

Did Little One really tell you that?

Yes. She said it so proudly.

I remember I asked her why she was the only one who could find you. Guess what she said.

She said that if I go to the closest and tallest place nearby the competition stadium,

I'll be able to find you.

Ouyang.

Little One?

I just knew you'd be here.

Ouyang, I'm working at QKVideo now,

so I have a favor to ask of you.

I know that you never accept interviews, but seeing that I'm a newbie at my job,

give me a chance to excel. Let me be the exception and allow me to exclusively interview you.

I didn't start swimming for fame, so I never accept interviews,

even for you.

Sorry, Brother Lin Zi.

What if it's for the sake of Xiao Sang?

If this exclusive interview is for the sake of Xiao Sang, will you accept?

What do you mean?

Since Tang Yibai returned to swimming at competitions,

I would watch his every competition.

Then, I'd describe every detail to Xiao Sang.

Brother Lin Zi, why are you doing this?

It's because I know that no matter the past or present,

all Xiao Sang sees and cares about

is only Tang Yibai.

But the more I do this, the more unsatisfied I am.

The more I know that Xiao Sang only cares about Tang Yibai,

the worse I feel inside

because I know that Tang Yibai's world does not include Xiao Sang.

Don't you think being neglected

and forgotten by Tang Yibai isn't worth Xiao Sang's time?

Fine. I'll accept your interview.

I'm back.

Yun Duo!

Teacher Sun.

Ouyang Heng is here!

Sovereign of the North came to QKVideo.

He even gave me his signature.

- Ouyang Heng came?
- Yes.

- He accepted Cheng Mei's interview?
- Yes!

Excuse me! Thank you--

- You're Yun Duo?
- Yes.

Now, I finally know why Tang Yibai is so interested in you.

In certain aspects, you're really similar to my friend Little One.

Who's Little One?

If you really want to know, you should ask Tang Yibai.

I'm also curious what his answer would be.

Thank you for today!

Hello, audience. We are about to begin the individual 100 meter freestyle point qualifiers.

This is also Sovereign of the North, Ouyang Heng's, first competition in this year's Dream Cup, so the media is paying very close attention.

Each competitor is nervously making preparations.

Yes. The audience is going crazy right now. Looks like Ouyang Heng is very popular.

The competitors are all ready. Let's watch and see.

Ouyang Heng, you can do it!

Ouyang Heng, you can do it!

[Men's 100 meter Freestyle Competition Lineup]

Ready!

Ouyang Heng, you can do it!

No wonder he's the Sovereign of the North! He gives his opponents no chance.

He is steadily claiming the position of first place.

Ouyang, don't catch a cold.

Okay, we are at the turnaround. Ouyang is still first, and he continues to speed up.

If there are no accidents, the results of this competition is already obvious.

Ouyang Heng, you can do it!

Ouyang Heng, you can do it!

He finished! Wonderful! The first place in this competition is Ouyang Heng from North Physical.

Ouyang Heng has not disappointed the audience. In today's Dream Cup men's 100 meter freestyle point qualifiers,

not only did he break his best record, he also updated the records.

That's right. He surpassed the record that Tang Yibai of South Physical previously set.

He has reclaimed his throne as the king of short-distance freestyle among the Chinese colleges.

Now, people are more excited about his future face-offs with Tang Yibai.

Why is Ouyang Heng working so hard? He only wants to make a comeback because his record was broken.

Currently, the top couple among the female netizens has officially changed from the QQ-Tang couple

to the love and hate Heng-Bai couple.

What do they know? Yibai and I are the official couple.

Ouyang Heng, this amateur... Tell him to get lost!

Go back and write an article to attack Ouyang Heng.

Stop it.

[Ouyang Heng accepts QKVideo's exclusive interview]

Ouyang Heng accepts QKVideo's exclusive interview?

He did accept our interview, but I wasn't his interviewer, so I don't know what he said.

Moreover, don't make a joke of my profession.

It's now getting closer to the competition.

In this year's Dream Cup, I have an opponent I must thoroughly defeat.

That person is Tang Yibai.
