All excellent reviews.

Think about profit...

you should turn to what profits us...

anything that brings business.

I told you, right?

It's good to spend a little for our reputation on the net.

On the long term all that will pay.

But how much will it pay?

It depends how many people New World sends us.

How much do you think we can expect?

If it works well, with a 100 visitors we earn 3 -¥5,000,000, easy.

That's what I call making money.

Right.

Does New World know about our product sale?

Look, if it's a win-win, and everybody profits.

I'm afraid some people could make trouble.

I'm worried about Ting.

I'm worried too.

So, in case she gets too tricky, I have...

an insurance policy.

What insurance?

You really want to know?

You'll know soon enough.

Tea.

Thank you.

Why don't you ask me?

Why?

Only a small kid would ask a question...

over and over, all day.

But you're a therapist.

Please don't see me as such.

I have another hat too, you know?

I'm a university professor.

Which of these two do you like most?

Which of the two looks more amenable?

Both look inaccessible.

Alright then.

But you see, a therapist is still a human.

Humans have worldly desires.

We both experience the world through our five senses.

Although we're very different in our heads.

But just like me...

you have to deal with many people every day.

This activity gives us a lot in common.

I can't be that strange to you.

At this juncture of my life...

this condition that i suffer...

I wouldn't use the word 'condition', please.

Yes, but you are special.

'Special'...

is usually a compliment.

To a woman who is not beautiful enough.

That's not what I meant.

I'm just teasing you.

So what did you want to say?

Maybe it will come naturally.

You don't have to tell me...

if you don't feel like it.

Well, I don't think you're the kind of woman...

who needs your boyfriend to uncork a bottle of wine.

Tell you what...

do me a little favor.

Oh, that's great.

You're as efficient as Xiaoxiao.

So kind of you to help me carry these.

Xiaoxiao will have _to treat me to lunch for that.

Sounds good to me.

Ting...

I want to talk to you.

Ting, you are so smart...

you guessed that Beilei Zhang is mad because of Xiaoxiao.

You also guessed that Beilei has a lot of fans.

Leave Xiaoxiao, you'll just draw more heat on yourself.

Listen Tao...

people don't refrain to sleep because they fear a nightmare.

I won't argue with you, you're always right.

I'm only warning you...

Warning me?

You know something that I don't?

I don't know.

Then you have nothing to warn me about.

You never listen to my advice.

How about a little concession now and then...?

So that, maybe people around you...

can have a little break sometimes.

The first time...

I felt the comfort _a thorny plant can bring me...

I was sixteen.

I immediately understood...

that I felt safe around them.

They're the only way...

I can feel safe.

But all dangers...

are far away from you now.

You've become strong.

You can face hardship on your own now...

and leave the cacti behind.

As you can see even here...

the cactus may be covered in thorns.

But it also grows buds.

How long will it take them to bloom?

I don't know for sure.

But one thing is sure...

I have a lot of patience.

Let me know when they bloom.

So that I can come see them.

Okay, it's a deal.

It's a deal.

You're done reading? -Yeah.

What for?

Oh right, an officer is not allowed to cry.

It's from yawning, I'm just sleepy.

Don't you have...

an excessive male pride syndrome?

Do you ever give rest _to the therapist's eagle eye?

Men who take pride in their maleness...

like to let their beard grow...

also they go to a fitness club.

They mostly enjoys _to hang out with male friends.

When they talk they hit their chest or clap hands.

They like to pat people on the back, don't they?

Now that's a 'condition' too?

Of course not...

it's just a syndrome.

We've all heard it...

"Boys don't cry."

This taboo is unhealthy for their emotional growth.

When a boy believes that he must act like a man...

he paves his way to hell.

His soul is bound to perdition.

He shuts down his sensitive side...

and as a result...

he can't build an intimate relationship.

He can't learn from friends and family...

or even accept the help of a friend.

He can't accept support.

Last night I happened to work overtime...

at the station with the team.

It's not that I'm growing a beard.

Well, let's talk about PTSD.

Is it a dangerous condition?

Is there a risk of relapse?

PTSD, as the name spells...

It is post-traumatic stress disorder.

Ms. Ting after several months of treatments,

has her PTSD under control.

But if she had to face danger again.

There is a risk of relapse.

Today is the tenth anniversary of her father's death.

Is there a risk that...

I know for sure...

it wouldn't trigger the worst.

That is to say...

she wouldn't try to kill herself.

How can you be so sure?

Well...

how can I say?...

we have a sort of 'pact', she and I.

Can I have a look at that cactus.

Be right back.

Are you allergic to pollen.

I'm not.

A fishbone got stuck in my throat this morning.

I'll take it out for you.

Take it out... how?

Don't forget...

I'm also the mom of a four-year-old.

You see, about stuck fishbones...

I could write a book... Come with me.

Well, that is...

So? Feel better now?

Maybe it's broken, you got only a piece.

I can still feel it.

It's still there, it's not cleared.

I can feel it down there.

Then there is another possibility...

the fishbone has left an irritation down there.

That still aches.

Alright.

Let me ask...

I saw you have a scar there.

What happened?

It's from a fight when I was a kid.

Well, if it still hurts.

I suggest you go visit an ENT clinic...

have a doctor take a look.

That won't be necessary.

Why make such fuss?

Don't underestimate a thorn.

Some people die from that.

Officer Chen...

our school teacher Mrs. Sun just texted me.

Ting had an appointment with her...

today in the afternoon.

Ting didn't show up.

I don't know how serious the situation is.

Officer Chen.

Ah, excuse me.

You just said Mrs. Sun?

Who is she?

She our English teacher, Mr. Shang's wife.

In our school days, Mr. Shang supported Ting.

He supported her?

I believe Ting's English score was very good...

he probably helped for another reason.

I didn't hear much about it.

But what happened back then...

He helped the investigation and he had notes.

OK, let's pay him a visit.

But the teacher is probably sleeping now.

And so what? Do I give a crap?

OK.

OK, listen...

I'm sorry.

If you wanna tag along, you're welcome.

No way, did he just say "I'm sorry"?

I didn't know that was in your vocabulary.

Officer Chen.

I want to go with you.

Please, don't.

Wait for Ms. Ting at her place.

Please give me Mrs. Sun's coordinates.

This is really delicious.

Excellent.

They're all local dishes.

Have some more of this.

How about oysters.

Surely not.

Fresh from the Pacific Ocean.

To tell you the truth...

at my age...

I can't resist all those delights.

Dear guests...

I'm really sorry to bother you.

What's the matter?

Well we happen to...

have two visitors from the tour group.

They heard that our agency's directors are all here.

They'd like to pay their respects.

I can't hardly contain them.

All directors are here.

Please forgive me for taking the liberty to say hello.

My name is Gao.

My father is from this island.

Since my childhood I lived ni Malaysia.

First time I return _to China to meet my relatives.

Thank you so much for this perfect trip.

I enjoy the amazing scenery of my homeland.

The amazing people of my hometown.

Especially this handsome guy, our guide...

taking care of us.

With the same accent as my father...

he makes me feel at home.

My wife and I have decided...

to settle here and invest...

in the local industry.

Excellent, welcome.

Ask us if you need anything.

Alright then, I took enough of your time.

No, join us for a drink.

Sorry, I can't drink now, we'll have dinner.

Sorry, for the intrusion.

Did you hear that?

We have an international service here.

Even overseas Chinese come over.

You see, I'm only discovering this business...

but already I feel we're getting more and more proficient.

And I was just thinking...

it's probably time for us _to walk that path without help.

You don't need Ms. Tao to follow us everywhere.

You can save your precious staff, right?

Right.

Uh... what?

You're in good hands...

Ms. Ting is an excellent supervisor.

I can guarantee you...

only five stars reviews.

Excellent.

You see, I only have an overall picture...

and for something so specific...

Well, if Ting says no problem...

then there is no problem.

No problem.

No problem.

Ting is easy-going.

Old friends agree.

Let's drink to it.

The chemistry teacher won't be available today.

Let it not be an excuse to dilly-dally around.

This time is for self-study in the classroom.

Who let you of the classroom?

Teacher, can't we study on the playground.

Why not at home in front of TV?

What are you muttering?

No, it's fine.

Listen...

those who registered in the literature and art club.

We did, Sir.

The three of you.

Go to the small gym hall...

for a program of preselection.

The rest of you go back to the classroom.

Let's go.

To the classroom.

Hey Ting...

I need your help...

to organize some tasks.

To organize what?

Did the teacher agree?

He did, let's go.

What did you bring me here for?

We'll have a party after the exam.

Right.

We have to buy some decorations...

for the classroom.

Oh.

You need me to carry the bags?

Yes.

And furthermore I think.

Hey Ting...

I think...

your eyes are sensitive to beauty.

Eric Paroissien translation eric.paroissien@gmail.com

We haven't paid for it.

Hey Ting.

Ma'am.

Can we have 50 of these?

Can we have a discount?

Just lose the decimals.

On 2.50, I don't make a profit...

if I lose the decimal.

We probably don't have enough.

He'll fly off the handle if we overspend.

OK let's go.

Hey, hey, come back.

First customers of the day...

I can make an effort.

Thank you Ma'am.

It's OK.

Can you pack them?

Sure.

So? How did I perform?

You can hold a bargain...

like a granny on the fish market.

I resent the simile.

You are old, Gramp.

Fine...

I am Gramp and...

you're Granny.

How about Gramp takes Granny to see a sunset.

Let's go.

A strange sadness emanates from it.

I like it.

Sir...

two of these.

Hey, this is school funds.

This, for the school...

and that, for ourselves.

There.

Xiaoxiao.

Come here.

Wait for me.

What are you doing?

"How about simply embracing these simple joys? "

Ting.

I'll be a second...

wait for me here.

Alright.

Keep these.

What is that?

Hey don't.

What's all that?

Where were you?

How about studying?

Are you starting a business?

Some of these are good actually.

Give me back the masks.

This one?

What's this?

Let me see.

I'll pay for it all...

girls, let's have fun.

Start spraying.

Don't run.

Stop.

What's this mess?

Come here, all of you.

What are you doing to Ms. Ting?

Do you have any limits?

I'll call your parents.

In the office, we'll write a report.

You all have to apologize to Ms. Ting.

While we're here...

you should let a doctor see you.

Come to the desk.

Forget it.

Why make such fuss?

Are you officer Chen?

I am.

I'm Mrs. Sun.

Hello.

Mrs. Sun, why are you here?

What's the matter?

One of our students got into a fight, he's here.

From your class?

I'm not a teacher.

In our school...

I'm director of the anti-bullying office.

Alright.

I brought what Ms. Ting wanted.

We wanted to dine together...

but she didn't show up.

Is she in some sort of trouble?

Don't worry.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

This notebook...

did you show it to the police that year.

This is our personal record of those events.

We wrote down our own perception.

No one has seen it yet?

I mentioned it to the authorities...

they didn't request it.

Was it intended for Ms. Ting to read?

Not necessarily.

I don't know how she feels about it now.

Did she call you in the past two years?

Well, no...

she sends her greeting on holidays.

Hello, this is New World Travel Agency.

Did you visit the fishing village?

Yes, how can I help you?

"I have a complaint."

"What's your name? "

My name is Tao Liu...

"May I record the conversation? "

"Sure."

"Here's the deal..."

"we went fishing at sea..."

"the five of us woke up at four o'clock."

"We waited until six."

"It was a broken boat..."

"old life jackets..."

"we were promised a tour on the island."

"With a four-star hotel..."

"but the accommodations were deplorable."

Excuse me, are you sure it was our island tour?

"I wondered too, because it looked more like Alcatraz."

"We were 15 minutes at sea..."

"then we came back because of the wind."

"We just caught three shrimp."

We're sorry.

Thank you.

We're sorry sir...

we'll deal with it right away.

Right away, Sir.

Clients are waiting for you.

It's about that island...

surely, they're going to praise you.

They went there for fun.

It turned into health lectures...

all sitting in a circle it like school kids.

Classes every afternoon.

The lecturer was named Gao.

The number he did on them...

selling a miracle cure...

like an elixir of life.

Gao was so pushy.

They spent 5,000 on these health cures.

Look at these.

I tasted it...

it's just black sesame paste.

My father bought it...

he told about it to my aunts and my uncles...

all their friends online...

inciting people to buy it.

It was a forced sales operation.

I'm too busy at work...

so I send them in a group.

They used all kinds of trick to get them into these circles.

I called them back.

Who would have guessed such famous agency...

would resort to cheap tricks?

I regret I sent them.

We're so sorry.

I'm hearing about this for the first time.

I've been trusting your company for years.

Check my name...

I'm a platinum member here.

This is a sorry incident.

Don't you have supervision on the site?

They're all temp workers.

The way they smear your reputation...

I pity you guys.

My apologies.

"You asked me to tell you first in case..."

"You said if they complained, I should report..."

We just called the guide...

about those complaints.

You see...

It doesn't matter.

Could be a coincidence...

maybe just a misunderstanding.

I'll call Beilei Zhang.

If it was true...

I'm sure she will solve it.

I could talk to her first.

No need...

I'll call her.

Go now.

Hi, Xiaoxiao.

I heard about it.

I have an idea.

No problem.

Anything can be canceled.

How about pearl powder?

We can send a little gift to each.

If you wanna pay...

your own money should solve it.

Perfect.

See you tomorrow then.

OK.

Bye bye.

Lunch delivery.

It's all here?

Yeah, it is.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Waiting for me to deliver it there?

Shall I spoon feed you too?

Tao Liu.

Come here.

Tao Liu.

Come quick.

Come on.

We have the bucket scene video.

Quick.

Tao Liu come.

Show it to her.

You show it to her.

Look, how she's quivering.

Like a wet cat.

No.

When is she quivering?

So?

Oh girl, what a laugh...

I'm going to have stomach cramps.

Quick save that video.

We'll survive the semester.

Great.

Tao, we couldn't have done it without your help.

Please accept a tea.

There, just take it.

Stay with us Friday for a karaoke.

There.

Let's watch it again.

She's calling.

Remember what I told you last time?

You know what to say to the Principal.

If you fail us we'll screw you good.

Get back now.

Don't worry, I took an 'insurance' for us with my dad.

You see...

your father explained the situation to us.

Don't feel too bad about it.

Go back...

take good care of yourself and your study.

Yes.

Thank you, Sir.

I'll go now.

Yeah, go now.

Sir, there is something else.

Tell me.

I know I am a mediocre student.

I'm scolded at home for it...

the other students despise me.

You see...

it's hard to be a mediocre student.

People have different learning abilities.

Some students just read once and memorize.

But I can read a page twenty times...

and still have forgotten at the exam.

I don't want to...

it's OK, don't cry.

Don't cry.

No one wants to be a mediocre student.

But even a student like me...

has plans for the future.

I also want to study hard...

and succeed in life.

But...

those good students...

are always looking down on us.

They tell us we can't study...

that we are retarded...

cretins...

imbeciles.

That we don't deserve even...

to sit in the same class with them.

Who is that?

Who despises you?

Some good students.

Those from the first row.

Sitting in front of you.

You mean Ms. Ting.

Ms. Ting's lately has rather been the object of your pranks.

If she didn't despise us so much...

we would not play pranks on her.

We have to resist somehow.

Besides...

she always has her good friend, Tao Liu...

plus, the class leader takes special care of her.

I wanted to ask him for advice but...

he didn't even want to listen.

Xiaoxiao?

What has Xiaoxiao got to do with that?

Teacher, you don't know?

Don't tell them I told you.

They are a couple now.

All the students know.

We often talk about it.

But since they are both good students.

The teachers turn a blind eye.

See, Mr. Gu...

I don't know the specifics...

Tao Liu would tell you more.

Tao Liu, just tell the Principal...

he already knows about it.

We used to...

have a good relationship...

meet after school every day.

Now...

we don't even talk much.

Louder, please.

Didn't you have lunch?

What's going on between Xiaoxiao and Ting.

You know why Ting is always with Xiaoxiao?

Because they are dating each other.

They're intimate now.

They're intimate now.

They're close...

no big deal...

they're...

intimate.

Yes.

We are here in the lobby of the Haiyu Hospital.

Right.

Why haven't his parents come.

The situation is...

both parents work far away.

He lives with his grandparents.

Sort of an empty nest child.

What's more important? Money or children?

If the child becomes disabled...

what's the use of earning more money.

At least both his parents are still alive.

Ting didn't have that luck back then.

Did Ms. Ting tell you about it herself.

My husband said she never mentioned it.

And when he tried to...

she'd change the subject.

So it looks like...

she never found closure.

In fact...

my husband says...

he never got over it himself.

Excuse me...

I also heard that Mr. Shang, later...

He's fine.

It's all settled now.

Many people come and go in our lives...

it's hard to make out who has such issues.

Some may look cheerful and...

offer a smile all day...

But still have big issues.

They're good at hiding it.

They're hard to expose.

So Mr. Shang...

knew what Ting was going through that year.

His notes...

are a record for the both of us.

I hope you find them useful.

Thank you.

Please thank Mr. Shang too.

Hurry.

Come.

You arrive just now?

Do you care at all?

Quick.

Hey Chen.

You mentioned Tao Liu.

Does Ms. Ting know?

Why would Ms. Ting...

ask for this notebook to Mrs. Sun?

I'd like to know that too.
