[My Mr. Mermaid]

- Episode 22 -

There's really a lot of people here.

That's not a lot. There's more during the daytime.

So you've been waiting here everyday for Sun Yang?

Yup.

From morning to night?

From night to morning, too.

Not only am I waiting, I thought of many ideas.

During the day, a lot of tour carts would park there. I would step on them and hold up Sun Yang's poster,

screaming, "Sun Yang! Sun Yang!" but he never notice me.

Also, I write him a letter everyday, and I would try to give it to the employees around him

in hopes that they would give it to Sun Yang.

So, you work so hard everyday?

It's not that hard. It's work.

To be honest, if I didn't think about you, I would have given up early on.

Because of me?

Because every time I wanted to give up, I thought about how hard you work to achieve your dreams.

Compared to the problems and pressure you face,

this hard work of mine isn't anything.

You didn't give up. How can I?

Also, we made a promise. When you win the Dream Cup, you must leave your exclusive interview to me.

If I haven't become an official reporter by then,

how do I qualify to interview you?

It seems like I made you that tired.

Now you know?

It's not early and it's not guaranteed that we will see Sun Yang.

Go back and rest.

No way. Before I see my idol, I won't give up.

Wait here. I'm going to buy some drinks. Watch my bag.

Sun Yang?

Sun Yang, nice to meet you. I'm South Physical's Tang Yibai.

Swimming is a very tedious sport. I hope you can continue to swim without forgetting your original dream.

I'm sorry. Please wait a second.

I know this request is kind of sudden, but I want to ask you for a favor.

All right. What is it?

I have a friend who works hard as a sports reporter.

She's waited at your hotel everyday to interview you.

She watched your competition videos and information a million times

in order to write the most touching and truthful sports news.

There's so many athletes. Why me?

Because swimming is the weakness of Asians,

but the number of your individual gold medals has surpassed all of the seniors in the swimming field,

including the famous Popov and Thorpe. In the history of men's swimming,

only you and Phelps were able to be consecutively electives as VIPs by the World Championships.

You have talent and you work very hard. I have watched many of your documentaries.

All right. Since you chose swimming as your career, you should do your best.

No matter what you do, you must prove to others that

Chinese people can do anything.

So this is why you are my role model.

Because of you, in the lowest point of my swimming career, I stayed strong in my faith.

You should thank yourself. It's so cool that you work so hard for your dreams.

I will do my best.

Currently, there is a girl with a dream who is faced with challenges.

I hope you can help her out because she's hard working like you.

You're talking about that skinny little girl, right?

Yes.

I remember her, she's outside my hotel everyday. Very persistent.

My private training ended today. I can accept her interview.

Really? Thank you.

I wasn't sleeping.

You must be tired.

Have a drink.

Thank you. I really wasn't sleeping. Stop laughing.

I was exercising my bones. I was a bit tired from sitting.

I'm not laughing at you.

What do you mean? Are you crying then?

I'm really not laughing at you.

What is it? Who texted you?

Sun Yang. Sun Yang texted me.

He accepted my interview.

He is willing to accept my interview. I did it.

I finally did it.

Tang Yibai, thank you. You're really my lucky charm.

- Congrats!
- I'm sorry. I'm too excited.

Hurry and pack up. Let's go see my idol Sun Yang.

Let's go.

This.

Let's go.

Hi, Sun Yang.

Hi, Yun Duo.

Let's start our interview.

Sun Yang, you are the first athlete in the world to become the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m,

1500m freestyle champion.

You are the first person to cross the gap between short and long distance swimming.

Moreover, the number of your individual gold medals has surpassed all that of your seniors.

In the history of men's swimming, only you and Phelps were able to be consecutively electives as VIPs by the World Championships.

You're every swimmer's role model. I would like to ask you.

When you were chasing after your dreams, did you ever think about giving up?

Never. I never thought about that not even during my most down time.

Because I believe that time will prove everything.

Also, too many people have high hopes for me. I want to prove to everyone

that Asian swimmers can be just as good; thus, I didn't allow myself to retreat.

So, who encouraged you during your toughest times?

Of course, my family, those who love me and those who I love.

Every time I think about them, I feel an inner strength.

It is a very powerful strength that allowed me to persist, even when I had to swim with polymer materials

on a fractured foot in the pre-Olympics training session in Rio. Even then, I didn't give up

because I believe even if I die, I must die in the pool and win the gold medal.

All right. That will be all for today. Thank you.

Thank you.

Idol, you're so tall.

It's problematic to be tall. I never find the right size in clothing.

Full-length pants always look like capri-pants on me.

Others think that I'm not afraid of the cold.

Really?

Sun Yang.

Tang Yibai?

Thank you for accepting Yun Duo's interview.

You're right. She is very hard working.

Thank you.

I want to shake my idol's hand, too.

I hope we get the chance to swim with you.

All right.

These are?

They are our South Physical's swim teammates. We all wanted to meet you.

Can we... ?

Take a picture together?

One, two, three.

Come here everyone. I have some announcements.

Come here.

Are all the interns here?

Sun Bufan, where's your disciple Yun Duo? What time is it? She still didn't come to work.

Director Liu, she's so tired from interviews. She got sick.

She called in sick and she's resting at home for two days.

The results are clear. You can't speak for her anymore.

The first stage of the internship has come to an end.

Like what I said before.

I will temporarily let the top 6 stay.

The rest can leave.

Teacher Sun!

I got to exclusively interview Sun Yang.

Really? You got the interview?

It's in here.

How did you do it?

It's a long story. His manager kept rejecting me before.

In the end, he saw my letters and he texted me. He accepted my interview.

Good job!

All right. All right. Are all the interns here?

I announce that the top 6 interns will temporarily stay.

It's very unfortunate for the rest of you. Thanks for your hard work.

Because of the importance of this interview,

Yun Duo, stay temporarily as Teacher Sun's assistant

to go over this interview.

All right. I'm done talking. You can disperse now.

That's great. Let me help you.

Yun Duo, keep it up!

- Keep it up!
- Keep it up!

This way, Yun Duo doesn't have to worry about her work temporarily.

Brother Yibai, you went out?

You still know you have to come back?

Coach Wu.

Come here.

Where did you go? Do you not want to train?

Yun Duo is sick. I went to take care of her.

You went to take care of her?

Yea, I also went to do an interview with her.

Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you being so truthful?

Why can't you just lie to me? Do you not see me as a coach anymore?

You've misunderstood. I only went to take care of someone I care about.

I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I lie to you?

Coach, I know you're worried about me. I know your concerns.

But don't worry. Yun Duo won't become my obstacle. I didn't realize before.

But now, I'm positive that I really like Yun Duo.

Even if the entire world tells me that we aren't compatible together,

I still want her to stay by my side and watch me as I become the fastest swimmer in this world.

All right, that's enough.

Take this.

You can't...

You can't let it affect your training.

Hurry and go rest up.

Thank you, Coach.

Well said, Yibai. You are so good at lying.

You're even better than me. You are leading Coach Wu by the nose.

What do you want to do with the phone? Do you want to text Yun Duo?

Let me help you text her.

Come, come, come, Brother Yang.

Stand here. Good?

Don't push, Qi Ruifeng.

Here.

Yun Duo, come here.

One, two, three.

Good job.

Yun Duo, you're the best.

What's going on? Teacher Sun, do I have hope?

What hope? It's big hope. Look at what place you are.

I can stay. I am also in first place!

What did I say? I said a million times that you could do it.

Teacher Sun, you weren't thinking that. You even gave me a goodbye gift earlier.

That time, I was trying to ignite your determination.

Are you okay?

I don't understand what you mean.

I can tell you're not happy. You've always been above Yun Duo at work.

You never thought that you would lose to her one day.

That's right. I admit it I'm not happy,

but it's not because that I lost to her.

I'm just not as lucky as her. I don't have you or Tang Yibai to back me up.

I'm backing her up? Are you misunderstanding?

Can you say that Yun Duo got to interview Sun Yang this time

isn't because you helped her behind the scenes?

You're wrong. Since I came to QK Video,

I never helped Yun Duo when it comes to work

because I know that she has her principles. She never accepts easy rewards.

Moreover, her capabilities are much better than you expect.

Her achievements today are thanks to her hard work.

If somebody is really getting outside help on her work, it's you.

What do you mean?

There's no other meaning. I just wanted to remind you that Yun Duo has always thought of you as her best friend.

Today, she worked hard all because she wanted to pass the internship and become reporters with you.

I don't want you to misunderstand her.

What are you two doing here? What secrets are you talking about?

It's nothing. Cheng Mei asked me what we should eat for dinner to celebrate for you.

Right, Cheng Mei?

Right. Being able to interview Sun Yang is something that should be celebrated!

Celebrate what? If we are to celebrate, it should be when Cheng Mei and I both become reporters.

Of course, it should be celebrated! Okay, its decided then.

I will decide the restaurant for dinner. Let's have dinner together, okay?

I also have to go.

What are you thinking about?

I'm not thinking about anything.

Really? I've been watching you for a while and you never realized I was there!

Also, I noticed that you've been acting strange since earlier.

Strange? How?

This isn't my first day knowing you.

What were you and Lin Zi talking about there?

I still think you two are hiding something from me.

Cheng Mei, tell me the truth.

Are you and Lin Zi secretly dating?

Yun Duo, don't talk nonsense. How can you think that way?

Do you really think that I'm stupid? First of all,

you once thought Lin Zi was your idol. Right? Maybe there's something about him that resembles your idol.

Second of all, after you two came back from the North Physical interview together, you two are often together.

Sometimes during work, I see you secretly looking at him.

You are mistaken. There's nothing between Lin Zi and I.

- Only...
- Only what?

I really do have good feelings for Lin Zi.

You really like him?

Keep it down!

You really like him?

If I say yes, will you disapprove?

Disapprove what? You liking someone makes me happy and excited.

Do you want me to be your matchmaker?

That's not necessary.

Although it was strange for Lin Zi to switch to our profession without prior education,

he's a good young man who has his dreams and goals.

After working with him for a while, I think he really is a good person.

Oh my god!

Even if the whole world tells me that we are not compatible,

I still want to hold her, kiss her, protect her.

Coach Wu, do you think I like this girl?

If I miss out on her, will I even be a man?

Really? Brother Yibai really said that to Coach Wu?

That's so sappy.

I heard the whole conversation with my own ears.

I promise that I reenacted the exact scene.

Don't listen to his nonsense, you two. He's just going crazy.

I'm going crazy? You're the one in love!

Are you brave enough to admit that you told Coach Wu that you liked Yun Duo?

Yibai, since you already admitted that you liked Yun Duo, what are your plans now?

Do you need us friends to help you out?

No. I think it's better to let feelings develop naturally.

When the time is right, I'll tell her.

That won't work. If you like someone, you must tell them. You can't let it be natural.

Once Yun Duo is stolen by someone else, you'll regret letting it go naturally.

That's right. There must be a lot of guys chasing after Sister Yun Duo.

What if a tycoon appears one day and steals Sister Yun Duo away?

How about this Yibai? I thought of a plan already.

During your next competition, tell all the reporters that you like Yun Duo.

"I want to be with her." That'll settle it.

You're making it too public.

That's exactly what you want! Let everyone know that you like her.

This way, even if you don't succeed, you can let the entire world know that you're courting her.

Then, those who like her can stay away from her.

No.

I think that we should focus on romance.

We all watched dramas. Usually, the male lead prepares 3 things for the female lead in his confession.

Pretty flowers, romantic fireworks, and shiny white.

What shiny white?

Shiny white silver coins.

This way, you can reserve a restaurant with a nice view,

buy a bunch of flowers, and fire people to set fireworks outside.

At this time, you can confess to Sister Yun Duo.

"I like you. Let's be together."

So romantic! I bet every girl would say yes.

Yibai, don't listen to him. His method is old-fashion and a waste of money.

Listen to me. I guarantee that you'll succeed.

How is this old-fashioned? It's a classic move!

Haven't you watched dramas? What do girls watch growing up?

Idol dramas about love. Romance novels.

Brother Yibai, listen to me. You'll definitely get the girl.

Let me take care of the fireworks.

A confession isn't important. Most important is whether or not the girl has feelings for you.

If they don't have feelings, it's useless to say anything.

If she has feelings, you only need to say one thing.

"I like you." That's all. That's enough.

Lingye, what a waste of words. Our exact problem now is that we don't know if Yun Duo has feelings for Yibai.

That's why we need a confession.

That's right. If you don't confess, how do you know if a girl likes you or not?

Who said you have to confess to see if the girl likes you?

Hello, baby.

Wait a second.

I have to go pick up a call.

Hello.

A confession isn't important.

The important thing is what Yun Duo feels for me.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Eat up.

Lin Zi, Cheng Mei really is my benefactor.

In college, she helped and took care of me!

Really?

She's so attentive, pretty, and feminine.

When we were in school, so many boys liked her.

Yun Duo.

- Really?
- Yes.

If I remember correctly, you're single. Right?

Cheng Mei is single, too. How about...

How about you eat instead of talking nonsense.

After looking at you two, you guys look quite compatible.

Very matching.

What?

Oh, wait! My landlady said that she needed my help today, so I need to get home quickly.

How did I forget? You guys eat. I have to go.

Wait! What do you need to help with?

Our home's water pipes...

This dishes aren't even eaten, don't waste them. Enjoy.

Today, I will pay. Enjoy your food!

- Don't do this.
- Yun Duo.

I don't know what's going on with Yun Duo today. Maybe something really happened at home.

Well, let the two of us eat?

Sorry, I don't have an appetite.

You eat, I have to go.

Lin Zi! You-

Lin Zi and Cheng Mei must be getting along well right now.

Yun Duo!

Lin Zi?

Where's Cheng Mei?

Let's go. Get in my car.

What's wrong?

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

You were eating so well with Cheng Mei. Why did you suddenly come to me?

What's up? Why aren't you talking?

Wasn't the atmosphere at dinner quite nice?

Did something unhappy happen?

Can you stop being like this?

Did you know it is disrespectful of you for matchmaking me and Cheng Mei?

Cheng Mei is very outstanding. She is also very fond of you.

I didn't say it, so the mood can be more natural.

Then, it won't be that awkward. Why are you so angry?

You don't know anything. Have you ever considered the possibility that I already like someone?

You already like someone?

I... Why didn't I ask you first?

And there I was, matchmaking you two like an idiot.

It's over. How am I going to tell Cheng Mei?

Don't you want to know who I like?

That's right. Who is it? Do I know her?

The girl I like is called Yun Duo.

Yibai, you're back?

You're back?

Did you guys just get off of work?

We just had dinner together. It's quite late, so I took her home.

Okay. Continue your conversation.

Do you want something to drink?

No thanks.

Okay.

What is it? Are you afraid that Yibai would misunderstand?

Or are you finding a way to reject me to avoid awkwardness?

Don't worry. I'm fine. I am not in a hurry to hear your response.

I just want you to know. In the future, don't do anything like today.

You guys misunderstood, there is nothing going on between Yun Duo and Tang Yibai

because Yun Duo is my girlfriend.

The girl I like is called Yun Duo.

In my eyes, you will always be a shortie who needs protection.

Yun Duo,

I want to have a talk with you.

Lin Zi just confessed to you. What did you tell him?

You heard? I...

Yes, I heard it all. He said he likes you.

Did you give him an answer?

No.

Do you have feelings for him? What did you say afterwards?

I don't know.

You don't know. Why don't you know?

If you like someone or not, the answer is so clear.

I just don't know if we'll be compatible together.

What happens after we date, and how long can we stay together?

So many questions. I don't have an immediate answer.

What if the one who confessed today wasn't Lin Zi but me?

What if I told you today that I like you?

What would your answer be?

Don't joke around with me.

One Lin Zi is enough to make my head hurt. Don't annoy me.

I'm not joking with you. I'm being serious.

I want to help you clarify your feelings for Lin Zi.

That's why I asked, "What if I were the one who confessed today? What would your answer be?"

Will it be the same answer as what you gave Lin Zi?

Tell me.

If you told me you like me,

then I would answer...

Let me tell you the truth.

Currently, you are already an obstacle for Tang Yibai.

Impossible.

What did you say?

I said it's impossible.

Why?

Why did you say "I don't know" when Lin Zi confessed to you, but for me, it's "impossible"?

Why?

It's uneasy for you to come this far to return to swimming.

The most important thing to you right now is competition and swimming.

How could you have the energy to date? It can't happen.

Also, we are only in contact because you're an athlete and I'm a reporter.

What if one day, you're not an athlete anymore or I'm not a reporter anymore?

We won't be in contact anymore.

Why can't we be in contact?

We said so before. We will forget about our status as an athlete and a reporter.

Was it all a lie?

It's not...

Okay. Okay, okay. You don't have to explain anymore.

I did previously say "what if." It doesn't mean I actually like you.

Yibai, you're back?

Didn't you go test how Yun Duo feels about you?

Did you find anything?

No. What's this expression of yours?

Did you get rejected after confessing?

That's illogical. Yun Duo can't possibly reject you.

Or is it that the person she likes is me?

The one who confessed to Yun Duo was Lin Zi, not me.

Brother Lin Zi?

What's this? What did Yun Duo say?

She said she doesn't know.

Don't know. What is "don't know?"

If she likes, she likes. If she doesn't like, she doesn't like.

What is a "don't know" answer?

Don't worry, Yibai. Didn't she say she doesn't know?

She didn't say "okay." You still have a chance.

Her answer for Lin Zi was "don't know."

For me, it is "impossible."

Impossible?

Yibai, what is this expression? Do you want to give up?

How can I give up? I really think

Yun Duo never thought that we could have any other possibilities.

She just sees me as a friend.

Friend?

Also,

Qi Ruifeng, let me tell you. You better not tell anyone that I like Yun Duo.

Why?

I'm afraid after you say something, she and I can't even be friends anymore.

Can't even be friends? Why?

"What if I said I like you? Don't misunderstand. I said 'What if.'"

He really didn't have to add the two words "What if."

What is Tang Yibai thinking?

Even if he doesn't add "What if," I know this is impossible.

Why must he ask me such a weird question?

Is training not busy? Is it fun teasing me?

Tell me, Erbai.

What if I see Lin Zi later?

What do I say to him?

Mentor.

Good morning.

Morning. Disciple, did you eat breakfast yet?

What?

I think you're cute.

Don't force yourself.

I know what happened yesterday might make you think our relationship at work will worsen.

So, you're acting nice to me to avoid awkwardness. Right?

I will be a good assistant and interact with you well.

Since you haven't given me an answer, that means you haven't rejected me.

What do you mean? You mean if I reject you...

Okay.

It's fine to reject me. Rejection is the right of girls.

However, persistence is the right of guys.

You can reject me once, I'll confess a second time.

You reject me again, I'll confess again until you accept me.

All right, let's go to work, number one on the performance log.

Keep it up.

Is he serious? My gosh.

How am I going to interact with him in the future?

10 more seconds.

Be serious.

6...5...4

The girl I like is called Yun Duo.

If I were the one to confess to you today, what would you say?

Impossible.

Prepare for frog jumps.

Prepare for frog jumps. Let's go.

Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai!
