EPISODE 37

TALENT'S TEA SHOP

Hi. Your White Jasmine Dew
and Peach Red Royale.

-Please come again.
-Thank you.

Xiaoyou.

Where did you and Ximen go the other day?

Did anything happen?

Nothing happened.

Xiaoyou, listen to me.

You and Ximen can be good friends.

But you can't date him.

You'll get hurt, you know?

Why do you always say that about him?

Because I've seen it with my own eyes.

He dates girls one after another.

You know that too, right?

Ximen won't be serious with you...

No.

He won't be serious with anyone.

How do you know?

Do you understand him?

You don't. So how can you conclude that?

How about you? Do you understand him?

Does he want you to understand him?

That's none of your business.

Asking about other people's privacy
is very impolite.

You're right.

He doesn't.

I'm sorry, Xiaoyou.

I was too harsh.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

Shancai.

What is it?

One day, if Ximen treats me
like a stranger, don't be surprised.

You're acting really strange.

I've already decided.

Decided what?

Cheers.

You're beautiful.

-You're so sweet.
-Okay.

How long have you been in Shanghai?

I just arrived here.

Really?

You're the first person I know here.

-Let's toast to our encounter.
-It's too noisy here.

Let's go somewhere else.

-Sure.
-It's Xiaoyou.

Why is she all alone there?

Did something happen to her?

Forget about her.

What do you want to drink?

I'm fine.

All right.

I think you like fruity cocktails.

The sweet ones.

Hey.

It's okay. I'll order if I want something.

Aren't you here all alone
so that someone else can order for you?

No, that's not why I'm here.

I noticed you immediately
when you came in.

You sat here and didn't order anything.

Weren't you hoping someone
would come over and chat with you?

-Listen to me.
-All right. Buy me a drink.

I don't know the rules
since it's my first time here.

You're such a cute girl.

No problem. Let's drink.

It's my treat. Order whatever you want.

Okay. Let's drink.

I can tell that you're not a girl
who frequents bars.

It's your first time in a bar

and we met.

I'm so lucky.

Someone bought me a drink
when it's my first time here.

I'm quite lucky too.

How alcohol tolerant are you?

I haven't really drunk that much before.

Then you will know
how much you can drink today.

Ximen.

Where are we going later?

Karaoke? A restaurant? Or to your place?

-To your place, of course.
-Really?

-Xiaoyou is drinking too much.
-One more glass.

Can she handle it?

All that guy ordered for her
are strong drinks.

If this continues,
Xiaoyou will get drunk soon.

Aren't you going to check on her?

You're sitting at the bar too.

I'm buying this time. What are you having?

You're so cute.

Guys are supposed to buy drinks for girls.

Not the other way around.

Shouldn't I pay you back
for your generosity?

Let's make a deal first.
If you buy me a drink

and I get drunk,
you have to take responsibility.

One drink should be fine.

I don't want to owe you anything.

We'll have the same again.

-Are you drunk?
-I'm not.

-My face is just a bit hot.
-Let me see.

You had too much to drink.

Do you want to get some air outside?

-What do you think?
-There's no need.

I want to go home.

The drink just arrived.

Maybe after this drink?

I bought that drink for you.

No.

You said you're going home.
So you have to drink this.

That's my wish.

If you don't want to drink it
and want to go home,

I'll take you home.

All right.

-I'll leave after I drink this.
-Sure.

I'll take you home after this.

I'll drink this for her.

-Who are you?
-Done.

You can go now.

Bye then.

You're drunk, right?

You drank so much, of course you are.

I thought I'd be drunk.

But I can actually drink a lot.

-Want to buy me another drink?
-Why are you doing this?

Why did you come to such a place?

If you can come here, I can too.

If you can drink, I can too.

And I learned how to order drinks today.

Never mind. I'll buy you a drink.

-We'll have the same--
-Come on.

I've already decided.

I want to be with you.

Do you know that you're giving me
a hard time?

And you're making me mad.

I know.

Stop being so self-centered.

Don't act like you want to give up
everything for me.

That doesn't work on me.

And do you think other girls around me
never acted like you do?

But right now,
I'm the one in front of you.

You're...

really one of a kind.

Yes.

I think I'm a weirdo too.

So?

What do you want me to do?

Last time, you said
that there's always regret in love.

So did you also have regrets in love?

Tell me.

Let me know.

I promise I'll stay away from you.
I won't bother you anymore.

All right.

I'll tell you.

But after this, leave me alone.

Okay.

What do you want to know?

Everything.

I knew a girl named Xiaogeng before.

We grew up together.

She used to live next door

and always came to play at my house.

Seven.

Nine.

J.

I win.

Don't play poker again.

But I'm better at playing cards
than studying.

I can help you.

I'll help you get good grades.

Am I that easily convinced?

I'm used to having Xiaogeng by my side.

Being together
was as natural as breathing.

You're not studying at all.

But on the other hand,
she made me breathless.

Even though my family seems
to be doing well,

it has been long broken.

Can't you just pretend?

You haven't been coming home.

Have you ever considered my position?

Can we stop fooling other people
as well as ourselves?

Let's stop pretending.

Whether we get divorced or not,

I'll take care of you.

-But we can't go back to the way we were.
-You...

My parents' marriage was a lie.

They were leading false lives.

And they wanted me to live the same way.

But it was really hard.

Tell me.

Can people's feelings

remain unchanged their whole lives?

I get it now.

You were influenced
by your parents' relationship.

You don't trust love.

I always saw and heard my mom crying.

I've learned one thing.

Love hurts people too much.

Love is like a sharp blade.

The more you hold on to it,
the deeper and more painful your wound is.

I was fortunate
to have Xiaogeng by my side.

She was a switch given by the heavens

that could turn off
all the lies in this world.

At that time,

I felt relaxed whenever I saw Xiaogeng.

Chocolate.

Cake.

Ice cream.

They're so delicious.

Xiaogeng was different from F3.

Her existence made me feel at peace.

I hoped our relationship
would never change.

I hoped we would always stay the same
forever and ever.

Men don't seem
to like dolls and stuffed toys.

It depends.

To me,

you're the best stuffed toy.

Me? Do I look like one?

Then I'll become a doll.

But Xiaogeng was not a doll.

She didn't just want to stay in one place.

She moved closer to me.

I knew she gathered up
her courage to do it.

Look at me.

Do I look like a girl now?

Take me out.

Okay?

What has gotten into you today?

Why are you wearing that?

It looks so strange.

Did you also put on makeup?

Don't change so quickly.

Go scare other people.
Don't come and scare me.

I know, right?

I think this doesn't suit me either.

I'm too boyish.

By the way, I need to go and do something.

I'll get going now.

I'll come again tomorrow.

I hurt her really bad
so that she wouldn't come near me.

Xiaogeng.

Please stay where you are.

It's the best for you and me.

It's been a while since I tasted
the tea you made.

It's so good.

You're exaggerating.

It really is.

You've been busy lately.

I don't see you when I come here.

What's the matter?
Why were you looking for me?

It's nothing.

Xiaogeng, why don't you find a boyfriend?

What if I have a boyfriend
and you ask me to come for tea?

I won't be able to come then.

You think too much.

I'm always very busy.

I ignored how hurt she felt.

And purposely stayed away.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

But Xiaogeng never came for tea again.

All right. I'm done talking.

Based on our deal,

don't come to me again.

Your White Jasmine Dew.

Please come again.

Hi, ma'am.

-Is Xiaoyou not coming today?
-No.

She called and said
she won't be coming for a while.

Why?

She didn't tell me.

She sounded quite down.

So I didn't ask.

So you have to work extra hard.

-I'm sorry about that.
-It's fine.

Did you bring your friend home today?

What do you care?

It doesn't matter if you did.

We didn't see anything anyway.

We wouldn't say anything if we did.

ZHUANG

I went back to London.

Take care of yourself.

And take good care of Shancai.

By the way, are you satisfied
with my arrangement?

Arrangement?

That night,

Ximen said his story
with Xiaogeng's was over.

But I don't think so.

He's still not over it.

I feel so lost going around
all these buildings.

But I'm determined to do so.

Because I really want to find the answer.

Xiaoyou.

Mom.

Come here. I want to talk to you.

Xiaoyou, where do you always go at night?

You leave in the middle of the night
and return early morning.

Right?

Are you doing something
that you can't tell me?

No. I'm not.

What is this?

What exactly are you looking for?

Names of different buildings
are listed there.

And you marked the places
you've been and haven't been to.

What are you looking for?

I'm not doing anything
you should worry about.

This might be
a very important time for me.

Mom, I hope you understand.

Hey.

What is it? You scared me, you jerk.

Where are your bodyguards?

My sister took care of them.

Listen carefully.

You didn't see anything.
And you won't say anything.

Understand?

Wait.

As Daoming family's bodyguards,
that won't work.

Even if you're a bodyguard,

you have to look good
and be more confident.

Ms. Zhuang is so strange.

My sister is really unusual.

Why would she have such
an outstanding brother otherwise?

Ms. Zhuang is really outstanding.

But you...

What?

Say it clearly, stupid girl.

You're the stupid one, the stupidest.

Me? You're the stupidest of them all.

If you didn't pull down your teammates,

I'd have already conquered
Fantasy Westward Journey.

Fantasy? Fantasy what?

Fantasy Westward Journey?

Yes.

-You can play it, why can't I?
-I...

I didn't say you can't play it.

But you never played with me.

How would you know
if I pulled down my teammates?

I play with you all the time.

I know clearly how you play.

What?

All right.

Actually, I'm "I Call the Shots."

You're "I Call the Shots"?

How's that possible?
He's the X9 League champion.

How can you play so well?

You don't believe me?

What do you think? I'm so cool, right?

I've wanted to show you for a long time.
I just haven't had the chance.

You're really "I Call the Shots."

You're amazing.

But don't use codenames to play games
without me knowing again.

I'll do whatever I want. Why do you care?

Shancai.

Is that the medal
in Fantasy Westward Journey?

Yes.

You're amazing.
You got the champion medal.

I like it so much.

Can you give it to me?

I really treasure this. You wish.

How stingy of you.

It's been days.

I've been going to different buildings
in the city after my class.

I don't even know what I'm looking for.

But like Xiaogeng,
I want to do this for Ximen.

So I couldn't stop.

ENTER STREET AFTER 29 METERS

BEEN THERE

Where's Si?

He should be here soon.

Why do you look like
you're only half-awake?

It's too early.

How is it too early?
It's already noon, okay?

How's your recital practice going?

It's all right.

How about you?

I'm quite interested
in your exhibit this time.

I knew you'd like it.

We'll be done with the preparations soon.

You have to be there on the opening day.

Okay.

It's so hard to even go on a date now.
I'm so envious of the college students.

They can have a daily romance.

Ximen.

How did it go with Xiaoyou that night?

You didn't come back to the bar.
You also didn't answer my calls.

-Xiaoyou has fallen, right?
-Fallen?

What do you mean?

Nothing. We're talking about someone else.

Xiaoyou?

Oh. Shancai's best friend.

Lei, aren't you usually bad with names?

Hey, didn't you say you will never
touch Xiaoyou?

What's going on?
I just arrived and he left.

TALENT'S TEA SHOP

-Two Peach Red Royales.
-Thank you.

Please come again.

Xiaoyou.

Can you tell me what's going on
between you and Ximen?

Shancai, stop asking me.

This is between me and Ximen.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

But I'm really worried about you.

I met Ximen today.
He was also acting quite strange.

He was?

Yes.

Both of you are not like yourselves.

It's all because of me.

I'll take care of it.

I don't understand what you're saying.

It'll be fine, Shancai.

Just cheer for me.

I hope you can cheer for me.

That's what you said before.

I just want to hear that.

All right.

You can do it.

By the way, I told our boss
I'd leave earlier.

I'll leave the rest to you then.
I'll get going now. Bye.

Hey. Wait.

Why? Did something happen again?

Xiaoyou.

Hey.

Daoming Si.

I'm being serious. Bring me to Ximen.

Why?

I don't care. Bring me to Ximen
or we're breaking up.

Have you had dinner?

Yes. Do you believe that?

I don't think so.

Si, why are you here?

Something's up.

Miss, don't be fooled by this wolf
in sheep's clothing.

Shancai.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Do you know that Xiaoyou's so down
and she's crying every day?

Isn't that because of you?

It can't be because of someone else.

Tell me. What exactly happened
between you two?

Nothing happened.

But she has to grow up.

No. Let's talk about it outside.

Hey.

Xiaoyou is serious about you.
Why are you so irresponsible?

Do you have to be so mad?

What does Xiaoyou's business
have to do with you?

She's my friend.

How can I not be concerned?

And you.

You're such a lousy friend.

Can't you just date seriously?

Can't you just treasure nice girls?

That's right.

-Learn from me.
-Haven't you had enough?

If you don't like Xiaoyou,
why did you show any interest?

Yes. I did show some interest.

I regret it now.

I'm not a good man.
I'll never be with her.

Satisfied?

Hey, Ximen.

Why did you do that?
Why did you go to Ximen?

I told you I'd take care of it.

Take care of what?

What can you take care of?

I...

You haven't been to work or home.
What are you trying to do?

Ximen said he doesn't like you.

I know. You don't have to remind me.

Is this all worth it

just for Ximen?

Shancai.

Don't mind me.

Just let me do what I want.

He treated you that way.

You still refuse to give up?

I want to know
what the girl Ximen liked did for him

or else I won't feel at ease.

Does it matter if you find out?

Yes. It matters to me now.

Xiaogeng is the only one who knows you

before you led a false life

or maybe even after that.

You left your sincerity
in the Way of the Tea.

She knew that.

Have you ever heard of what they call
"Once in a Lifetime" in the tea ceremony?

The first time I heard of it

was when my teacher mentioned it.

Do you know what "Once in a Lifetime"
means in the Way of the Tea?

It means

a certain encounter
will only happen once in this life.

Treasure every encounter
as if it's the last one.

Do everything you can.

Don't have any regrets.

No matter what you do
or who you encounter,

that's the attitude

you should have in life.

The Way of the Tea's "Once in a Lifetime"

is a pursuit of sincerity.

And...

I could never do that.

What happened between you two?

QZONE MESSAGE FROM XIAOGENG

Ximen. This is Xiaogeng.

I have something to show you.

I'll send you the address.

See you at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

Ximen said

she never went to his house to have tea,
do homework, and play cards again.

The last time she contacted him
was for a date.

She set it at a specific location

at a specific time,

which was at 5 a.m.

I keep telling myself it would be fine.

As long as we never begin anything,
there'd be no ending as well.

As long as I don't go there,

Xiaogeng and I can surely
go back to the way we were.

Because I don't want to lose her.

Don't you want to know
what Xiaogeng wanted to show you?

That day,

Ximen simply deleted
the address Xiaogeng sent.

He didn't want to look at it.

By not knowing where it was,

he could repress his feelings
and not go there.

Because he didn't have
the courage to find out

what Xiaogeng wants to confess to him.

Did you listen to
the QZone voice message I sent?

I did.

But I went out with my friends
all night yesterday.

I see.

Xiaogeng.

I mean, who meets at 5 a.m.?

It's too early.

I had too much fun last night.
I'm going to sleep now.

Ximen.

It'll be all right.

I told myself

that tomorrow, Xiaogeng
would be back like nothing happened.

She'd surely come to me with a smile then.

We'd surely be back to the way we were.

Because...

I don't want to lose her.

Goodbye.
