METEOR GARDEN

EPISODE 24

All right. I'll stop laughing.

You're still laughing. Stop already.

Daoming Si.

Did you hear what one tourist said?

They said someone got scared by the female ghost

and almost knocked her out.

Daoming Si.

You might've just topped the Weibo's search hotlist.

What are you doing?

Shancai.

I'm a bit thirsty. Should we buy some drinks?

Sure.

How about some cold beer?

Wait.

A goody-two-shoes like you wouldn't drink beer, right?

Are you even old enough to drink beer?

I don't drink beer.

I'll have juice.

I'll buy it.

Let me do it.

A boy that eats a kid's meal

and can't drink beer

might just get lost.

I'll be back.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Sorry, Shancai.

It got kind of awkward.

It's okay.

He gets riled up easily.

But

you two were...

Well, ladies. It's on.

-See you at the bar tonight. -Sure, I'll be there.

-Okay? -See you there.

I'll make sure to dress up.

Do you see that guy?

-That's my lackey. -So handsome.

-He came with me. -So handsome.

All right, I'll talk to you again. See you.

-Okay. -Okay.

Do you think he'll come tonight?

-So handsome. -Hey.

I got to meet those two ladies in the queue.

They're pretty hot, right?

What are you saying?

I asked them out to the bar tonight.

Do you want to come?

You look pretty good.

How about I show you a good time?

I know what you're thinking.

The other two are so boring.

We can just leave them.

What do you mean?

Wait.

Does your brain work?

Or does it not?

Don't you understand what I mean?

Do you know who you're talking to?

Dong Shancai's boyfriend.

Don't tell me you're going to stick with one tree.

There's a whole forest out there.

You know what?

Your girlfriend is pretty pathetic.

When I first met her, I held her hand.

She was pretty excited about it.

Are you okay?

What's wrong with you? Why did you hit him?

He got on my nerves.

If this is the date you wanted,

I'm never coming back.

And you.

Why did you pick a boyfriend from the trash?

What is his deal?

Sorry.

That's the way he is.

His temper gets the better of him.

Easy for you to say.

He just hit me.

Keep your crazy boyfriend in check instead of standing there.

That's enough.

Bullshit.

Where are you going?

I'm sorry.

Daoming Si.

Where is Daoming Si?

In the shower.

Hey, he's...

Are you dumb?

She heard you and left.

Hey!

Hey.

You're the peeping Tom.

Stop playing the victim.

You better apologize.

To who?

Xiaoyou's boyfriend.

Why should I?

Why did you hit him then?

I hit him

because I was doing service for his mother.

I went easy on him.

Why do I feel like something is off?

I thought they just had a date.

That was quick.

What did you say?

Only four days.

They haven't split yet.

What exactly happened?

I'm not going to tell you.

Can you be more reasonable?

I was furious.

So I hit him. Satisfied?

I'm angry.

Can I hit you?

That Xiaoqi is annoying.

I don't like him either.

But you're not any better.

No matter what it is,

it's wrong to hit another person.

You need to apologize for what you've done.

What have I done?

Did they break up?

That'd be great.

You really are a jerk.

I'm sick of you.

-You're unreasonable. -You don't love me anymore.

Explain to me why you did it.

Listen to me.

I won't. You're just a liar.

-Fine then. -I'm leaving.

-I'll kill you if you leave. -Go ahead!

What are you guys doing?

Experiencing life.

Whatever.

Let me make it clear.

I've broken up with that jerk, Daoming Si.

Shancai.

Shancai.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I'm fine.

Okay.

Let's go back to the passage.

Xiaoqi didn't come to school today.

Shouldn't you call him?

I did.

Nobody answered.

It's my fault.

I caused the rift between you two.

I don't blame you.

If things got bad between us only because of this,

our relationship won't last long.

Actually,

you also think that Xiaoqi isn't a good guy, right?

I like him so I make the effort to compromise.

I kind of let things pass.

Am I too blinded by love?

But I think you should work hard with Daoming Si.

Actually,

Daoming Si and I

are pretty much over.

Why?

He did hit Xiaoqi

and still seems hard to get along with.

But I can tell he really likes you.

I mean, he still came

even though he didn't want to.

He tried hard to be a part of us.

You've been in a bind over him, haven't you?

Daoming Si is driving me crazy.

Because of him,

I got pissed at the teacher and students in class.

I don't feel like myself.

You're not yourself because of love.

Xiaoqi.

Stop it, Xiaoqi.

There are people here.

I don't see anyone.

There's nobody. You can come to my house.

-Come. -Can I?

Won't your girlfriend be unhappy?

I don't care about her.

Listen.

Do you know how boring it is to date a goody-two-shoes?

Every day, it's going to the library,

or visiting the park.

It's like watching paint dry. Boring as hell.

Really?

Xiaoyou!

Zhang Ziqi.

Stop right there.

Wait for me at the store.

-Okay. -I'll find you when I'm done.

-Zhang Ziqi. -What?

What did you mean by that?

Who is Xiaoyou to you?

I was just being honest.

Any normal guy

would be tired of that pathetic girl.

It's been a week.

She wouldn't even let me kiss her.

Your boyfriend, Daoming Si, is a weirdo too.

I introduced some pretty women to him and he shot me down.

What I'm saying is,

it gets really tiring to be with such rigid people.

If you're bored, come and find me.

Trash.

You'd better stay away from Xiaoyou.

Otherwise, you'll be given more than a mere beating.

Crazy woman.

You and your boyfriend are both crazy.

Xiaoyou.

This is Lavender Dingxiang Tea.

It will calm you.

How embarrassing.

I cried my eyes out at the side of the road

and you saw me.

It's okay.

This is my house.

You can cry whenever you want.

No one's going to laugh.

Or maybe

you rather tell me what happened?

I'm sorry.

My luck has been terrible lately.

So terrible.

Is it because of your boyfriend?

I heard

that he had some beef with Si.

Today, I saw him with another girl.

He said

it was so boring to be with me.

It was like watching paint dry.

How could he say that about a cute girl?

He's awful.

No.

I think he's right.

The girl I saw today

is much prettier than me.

She's got a nicer voice.

She was all dressed up.

She has a nice body.

Chin up. Look at me.

Don't make such a terrible comparison.

You need to know that you've got your own lovable traits.

You'll find someone better.

I have my own lovable traits.

I will find someone better.

See? How lovable.

Freshen up. Let's go.

It's okay. I can go back on my own.

I'm not taking you home.

I'm taking you to the piece of shit.

What are you going to do?

Since he was so generous to give you such a horrible experience,

we should teach him a lesson.

A guy like him has no respect for women.

Are you going to hit him?

If you want me to,

I can.

No. It's okay.

He must be taught a lesson for what he's done.

Do we have to?

Even if you're breaking up,

you'll be the one smiling at the end.

Where does he usually go at this time?

He likes to go to a bar called Guinness 288.

We're here.

Are you going to be okay?

Ximen, maybe we should forget about it.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do when I see him.

I should leave.

He dumped you like it was nothing.

Are you okay with that?

Of course I'm not.

It makes me so angry.

It's not healthy to keep such pent-up frustration.

Let's go and take it all out.

Hello, Si.

There's someone here who has no respect for women.

Do you want to meet him?

Hey, Qinghe.

Have you seen Xiaoyou?

No?

Okay.

It's nothing.

Xiaoyou was never confrontational even since in high school.

She always held it in and let things passed.

I've never seen her angry.

I'm such a terrible friend.

I didn't like that guy very much.

I should've told her sooner.

Shancai.

I just saw your missed call.

I'm fine.

I'm at the bar on Julu Road.

Do you see him?

He's there.

Hi.

Hi, hello.

-Who are you? -You don't know him?

It's Ximen.

-Who? -One of the F4 members of Mingde.

F4?

You don't know?

F4 is made up of four tall, handsome

and smart sons of business elites.

It has been a while.

It's crowded here, but you caught my eye immediately.

It has been a while, Ximen.

Why didn't you call me again

after we met the last time?

I've been busy.

This plain-looking, squinty-eyed guy

isn't your boyfriend, is he?

-Of course not. -No?

Why are we out on a date then?

You were pestering me to go out with you.

Oh, well.

My girlfriend is so much cuter and nicer.

You have a girlfriend?

Why? Do you have a problem with that?

Are you going to hit me?

You better not be rash.

Just try and hit me.

Ximen.

Should we go somewhere else?

Pretty girl, if you don't mind,

I'm going to take my girlfriend

and we can all go to a nice, more high-end place.

No way.

Ximen has a girlfriend?

Xiaoyou?

What are you doing here?

She's my girlfriend.

Cute, isn't she?

Why?

Do you know him?

No, I don't.

I think he's from our school. I've seen him around.

-Why are you here? -Why are you here?

I came to find Xiaoyou.

I came to find Ximen.

Why are they together?

How should I know?

He's your friend, right?

She's your friend, no?

I get it.

This old-fashioned, stupid girl got dumped

and felt bad.

So you got someone to prank me?

You better take back what you said

and apologize to my girlfriend.

Apologize? She should be the one apologizing.

Who's the one who organized

a double date.

She invited a good-for-nothing lackey called Daoming Si.

He hit me.

Now she's got this mama's boy to show off.

You so-called F4

are just pathetic losers.

Who did you call a pathetic loser?

That's right, you.

And you.

Thanks.

This is a special Ballantine's Blast for you.

I'm sorry about today.

Well? Feel better now?

Yes, much better.

I have no idea what I saw in him.

Thanks, guys.

You're welcome.

He didn't know his place.

How dare he provoke you guys?

Daoming Si gave him a good beating.

I didn't hit him.

I only gave him a massage.

When I saw him fooling around with another girl,

I go so pissed that I hit him too.

Who was the dumb girl yesterday that said,

"No matter what, it's wrong to hit another person."

-That's because... -Now you're going to justify it?

That's because you wouldn't say anything.

So you're putting all the blame on me?

How dare you.

I don't understand those two.

They don't seem to be getting anywhere.

But I think that Daoming Si likes Shancai a lot.

Let's go. We shouldn't bother them.

Hey.

Where are you two going?

Take care.

Ximen is probably taking Xiaoyou home.

Will it be okay?

Don't worry.

Ximen is not interested in naive, cute girls.

-Really? -He likes to go for hot girls.

Straight-forward girls without much intelligence.

But Xiaoyou is very gullible.

I'm worried.

You're only concerned about others.

When are you going to be concerned about us?

We're...

What about the dating time limit?

One month will be over soon.

It's not a month yet.

You know what?

There's an umbrella rental company.

The company invested in an umbrella-sharing model.

It rented out 300,000 umbrellas.

And after one month,

none of them came back.

You're still joking around.

To be honest,

I'm very anxious.

Since I got to know you,

despite countless confessions,

you never once gave me a definite answer.

Sometimes, even I wonder

if it's over between us.

Daoming Si.

I'm sorry.

I wrongly accused you.

I want to tell you

that I'm really thankful.

Daoming Si.

Let's make our relationship official.

I'm going to test you now.

What's the most important nutrient needed by humans?

-Water. -Reason?

Water helps maintain temperature. It's the best solvent.

It has strong adhesion,

it maintains water...

Electrolyte balance.

Not bad.

My turn.

You're testing me?

Miss.

Don't forget I'm a top student.

Wow.

This topic seems really hard.

I'll pick this question.

What is the principle of Schumpeter theory of creative destruction?

In an entrepreneurial life cycle, one doesn't always remain an entrepreneur.

Unless he continues to evolve

and create new formations,

which means to destroy the old, creating the new.

Because with every depression,

there's a possibility to gain new skills.

It becomes a new product, skill,

or business model

to bring the most benefit.

Wow.

You're incredible.

Not bad, right?

Since I did so well,

do I get any reward?

What do you mean?

What kind of reward?

What reward can you give me?

Are you asking for a free meal?

Okay. I'll take you to Rabbit Hole.

Rabbit Hole?

With rabbit meat?

Of course not.

It's my favorite snack shop.

What a lousy reward. No thanks.

Come on.

How about...

this kind of reward?

No.

Go read your book.

All right.

What a coincidence.

What a surprise to see you here.

I'm surprised you like Li Quan's recital.

I should be asking you.

How did you end up in the seat right beside mine?

I don't think it was a coincidence.

It wasn't?

Let me ask you.

Where did you get your ticket?

My ticket?

I asked a friend who helped get me the good seat.

You?

Not me.

I got my ticket from the pianist.

You know Li Quan?

Of course.

My family organized this recital.

We have connections.

I'm going to look for my old friend.

See you.

Hey! Wait.

What is it?

Can you take me with you?

Miss.

You're asking me to take someone

who is suspicious of me to see an old friend.

Isn't that unreasonable?

Well...

Sorry.

What did you say?

I didn't hear you.

I'm sorry.

Meizuo.

Why isn't Huaze Lei here?

Hi, sir.

Huaze Lei is busy preparing for the Juilliard exam.

Sir.

Can I introduce you to a friend?

This girl here really loves your music.

Hi, Mr. Li Quan.

I'm honored to meet you.

I've been a great fan of your music.

Thanks.

Is she...

your girlfriend?

Well...

Yes. She's my girlfriend, Zhou Caina.

Thank the teacher.

Thank you, sir.

Sir,

my girlfriend has been a long-time fan.

It's so rare for you to have a performance here,

so she's been bugging me to let her meet you.

Yes.

Mr. Li Quan, can I take a photo with you?

Sure.

I'll take it.

Hey, girlfriend, come closer. You're blocking the teacher.

You did that on purpose, right?

If I brought some random girl to see Mr. Li,

he'd probably think I'm being disrespectful.

Anyway, thank you.

-Remember to send me the photos. -Okay.

Does that mean you're going to add me on WeChat?

Adding you on WeChat is not a big deal, right?

So you're telling me not to overthink.

What could a little boy think about?

This little boy is different from others.

First, he's a joker and he'll make you laugh.

No matter where, he'll protect you.

In addition,

he's can talk to you about anything, including music,

food or other interests.

Most importantly,

this little boy is very handsome.

So why don't you consider

being this little boy's girlfriend?

Don't turn me down so quickly.

I'm giving you time to think.

In the Bible, it's stated that

people who are destined to be together

will not be kept apart.

Which scripture is that?

Additional scripture.

All right.

It's a coincidence that we met today.

If we meet again,

I'll believe in destiny.

UNNUMBERED SEAT NAME LIST

"Zhou Caina."

Switch this Zhou Caina

to the best seat in the VIP zone.

Okay.

Why wait for next time?

Leaving straight away after taking a photo

is a little rude, right?

You should at least treat me to a drink.

If you can return this favor with a glass of wine,

then sure.

I never ask for much.

Why aren't you drinking?

No need to be shy.

I'm not.

-I'm just... -Just what?

Okay.

I'll tell you a little secret.

I kind of lose my mind whenever I drink.

The next day, I wake up not remembering anything.

Is that why you're worried?

Just drink.

If you get drunk,

I'll be a gentleman and take you back safely.

-You promise? -I promise.

I'll drink then.

One more glass.

Me too.

All right.

Do you know which letters of the 26 English alphabet

is my favorite?

You better not tell me

that you like "u" and "i" the most.

That's such an old Internet gag.

I just wanted to hear it

from your own mouth,

"I like you and I."

That's all.

You really are adorable.

Cheers.

There won't be any "better you and I."

Because I'm going back to the States.

But you just got back.

I don't really have a reason to stay.

Can I be the reason for you to stay?

A young man is giving his commitment?

No matter what,

meeting me is the start of your happiness.

To your future.

Cheers.

I like it.

Meeting you is the start of my happiness.

Let's toast to our future.

Do you dance a lot back in the States?

Sure. I'm a good dancer.

-Come, let's dance. -No, you go ahead.

Are you drunk?

-I'll take you home. -I'm not drunk.

Show me five fingers.

-Your five fingers. -Five.

Am I right?

Five fingers.

That's the most magical number right now.

Why is five the most magical number?

Do this and the magic will come.

It has been a while, Caina.

Hi.

It has been a while.

-Is he someone you know? -Yes.

Your friend?

My friend.

I'm Meizuo.

And you are?

Terence.

Terence.

Caina, is this old man your friend?

Him?

He was a summer-break boyfriend.

Summer-break boyfriend?

Weixun.

Give me more wine.

-More wine. -Okay.

Listen, man.

I promised Caina to take her home.

Allow me.

-Do you know where she lives? -I...

She'll tell me.

How will she do that when she's so drunk?

I brought her here.

So? Are you two close?

It's none of your business.

It hurts.

It hurts.

Sir!

Your coconuts!

Sir, you dropped your coconuts!

Sir, your coconuts fell off.

It's you again.

A sad face.

Hey.

Weixun.

Give me more wine.
