Original subtitles

What do you want?

Erduo.

What's wrong, Erduo? Wake up.

Erduo.

What happened? Did you have a nightmare?

No.

Nothing?

Get your ass off the bed and tidy up then.

Hurry up.

You're going to treat Ye Shuwei to lunch today.

Get up.

What?

When did I say I was going to treat him?

I just told him on your behalf.

What are you doing?

You two are a couple, so you have to meet up.

Remember. The most important thing

is to take a couple photo and post it on Weibo.

I'm not going.

Erduo, the show is going to decide whether you get to study abroad or not.

Besides, I think Ye Shuwei doesn't look like the way you described him.

He's a pretentious prick.

All right. He's pretentious, maybe even heartless.

But this is a job.

You signed the contract, so you have to do what it says, right?

Just remember this. Be romantic and increase the passion.

I'll drive you there.

Now, hurry up and get ready.

I'll come back to check.

Lizi, I really don't want to do this. Don't make me go, please.

Erduo, seriously.

Get off the car right now.

Hurry up. Don't make me do it.

Hurry up. You're going to be late.

Get off the car.

Take photos, be romantic and post on Weibo.

Hurry up.

Good girl.

I'm leaving. Bye.

Sorry, I went the wrong way.

-That's why I'm-- -You're late by 11 minutes.

You have 49 minutes left.

Let's go.

Enjoy your meal.

Let's eat.

You really do as you're told. How rude.

-You insisted on treating. -Not me, it's Lizi.

What are you doing?

Taking a photo for Weibo.

-Is it in your contract? -Yes.

It's not in mine.

You...

Erduo?

Bei Erduo.

Erduo!

I've missed you all this while.

You're still so petite after so many years.

You haven't grown an inch taller.

Erduo, I haven't seen you in a while.

But I did hear something about you.

You lost your job at the kindergarten because the parents complained.

Have you found a new job?

-Why don't I give you some money? -No.

Erduo.

You used to be so popular when we were in school.

Look at you now. I feel bad for you.

Lulu, long time no see.

You're still such a great talker.

Anyway, Erduo.

I heard that you're going to Japan to be an AV actress?

How could you do that, Erduo?

It's a voice actress.

-I knew it. -Lulu, I'm having my lunch.

Why don't we chat next time?

Come now, Erduo.

Yes, I know I was jealous of you back in school

and thought of you as my rival.

But thinking about it now, isn't it funny?

We were both so childish.

Look at your round face. It's still so cute.

I like it so much.

Who is she?

Why did she rub your face?

That's not good.

You'll get wrinkles.

You...

-Aren't you Ye-- -He's my boyfriend.

Hello. I'm Zhang Yilu.

-Strawberrynet-- -You were very rude.

Do you know that?

Miss.

Would you like to have a seat?

Me? No, you two go ahead.

Don't mingle with those weird people anymore, okay?

I almost forgot about my live stream.

I should get going, Erduo.

Enjoy yourselves.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey.

Thanks for today.

The time is up.

-Let's take a photo. We didn't-- -I already took one.

I don't think that photo would work.

Why don't we take a new one?

Just one.

Right here.

Okay. Thanks.

How are you going back?

My house is quite far.

Low-carbon power and energy-saving. That suits you.

Is there anything?

Nothing.

You're back.

Gosh. The lunch took such a long time.

Looks like you two are getting along well.

What's the matter?

I rode the bike home.

It took more than three hours.

Thank goodness I cycle all the time.

Otherwise, I would've collapsed on the road.

It's more than 20km.

Did you cycle all the way back?

Didn't Ye Shuwei offer to give you a ride?

That guy?

Give me a ride?

He knows nothing about being a gentleman, okay?

He's basically the devil.

I spent 500 bucks on lunch.

My heart is bleeding, Lizi.

I'm done.

I treated him this time because of your show.

You have to get the show to compensate me.

Sure. Here, drink some water first.

As long as the two of you cooperate and finish the show,

I'll do whatever you ask, okay?

That better be true.

Good girl.

Did you take the photo?

Okay, remember to post it on Weibo.

I need to go now. I have an appointment later.

You can order food if you're hungry.

Don't stay out too late.

Sure. Remember to post on Weibo. Love you.

Hey, Le Tian.

Where are you, Erduo?

I'm so sorry, Le Tian.

I'm afraid I can't do the lesson today.

Why? Are you all right?

Can I be of any help?

Nothing.

I'm just tired today.

Can we do it another time?

Sorry.

No worries. We'll do it on another day.

Okay, see you.

Let's toast to our partnership.

-Raise your glass. -Cheers!

-Have you seen the first episode? -Yes.

There was a lot of positive feedback.

This is all thanks to Ms. Tang's hard work.

Ms. Tang, let's drink to that.

Sure, Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang is right.

But today,

I'm not letting my assistant to steal the limelight.

I'll make toast for everyone.

On her behalf.

JAPANESE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST N3

JAPANESE FOR DUMMIES

I'm really happy today.

But Lizi,

you don't have to stop me from drinking.

I, Sheng,

is no longer that guy who passed out after one drink.

Now, I am known as

the Master Drinker.

You're dreaming.

Don't you remember how

we always had to drag you home when you were still in school?

We dragged you.

And all you drank was just

one sip.

Right, it's been a long time since I graduated.

I've turned from one sip

to being the Master Drinker now.

And you? You changed too.

You used to be so loud and wild.

And now,

you're a capable career woman.

But you should stop looking so stern.

You really should.

-Why? -Jinzi and the rest always say

that you're too strict,

too rigid,

and emotionless.

You only care about your job.

Is that so?

If they said that, it means they're not busy enough.

How else would they have the time to gossip?

But I know you're not like that.

You're back. Where were you last night?

You're up.

I worked overtime.

I'm exhausted. Let me wash up.

What are you doing?

Did you stay back at the office and have a late-night party?

Your clothes are all wrinkled.

And your collar is buttoned so low--

This is not the perfume you usually use.

And I can smell alcohol on you.

Not to mention your lipstick, Lizi.

It stayed put for the whole night,

still looking so natural and lush.

So, who did you

stay back with at work last night?

Mr. Yu for sure.

And some other colleagues.

You worked hard.

Is your office setting

particularly in pink?

As a lady, you should pay more attention to your image.

You haven't brushed your teeth, right? Go and do it now.

You're annoying me. Go.

Lizi, listen. I know I'm not a pro in relationships.

But I'm pretty good at reasoning.

I've read all those shoujo manga countless times.

I know all the tricks, Lizi.

I mean, I'm basically the Wang Yuyan of relationships.

-Do you know Wang Yuyan, Lizi? -Okay, stop it.

Why can't you use all your wits and reasoning skills for the show?

You're pissing me off.

Well, look at that Ye Shuwei you found.

I'm holding on for so long.

It really is a miracle.

Let me show you something.

No, thanks.

I don't need it.

Not...

Not on the way.

Okay, you have it tougher.

Please hang in there a little longer for your dream, okay?

Now, go and wash up.

-What? -Let me see.

I need to shower. I don't want to be late for the recording.

You should get ready too. Bye.

Hello?

Okay, sure.

I'll tell him.

Sir, Mr. Yu said the schedule has been changed.

The recording is tomorrow.

Sir, I've watched the show.

I've been wanting to ask you

who that girl is.

I've never seen her,

nor heard anything from you.

Bei Erduo.

The netizens all agreed that you two are the best couple.

You're like a match made in heaven.

You seem to be really free these days.

Not at all.

Hello, I'm Bei Erduo.

I've been quite busy lately.

But today, we will continue with Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

"As Rebecca was explaining what had happened,

Uncle Jerry wouldn't stop coughing

while he fidgeted on the chair.

Are you willing to act as the mother?

Make me a new cup of tea."

-Erduo. -"Jeremiah."

Erduo, come.

Get dressed and come with me to the mall.

-Come on. -I...

-I'm not going. -Why?

I'm aching all over from the cycling.

I just got a call from Mr. Yu.

The recording has been brought forward, so you need to get a new outfit.

-Why was it brought forward? -There was an issue with the venue.

Just get up and go.

-Hurry up. -No.

Move quickly, lazy bum.

Hurry up. Don't waste more time.

Is everything ready for the interview?

Yes.

I've prepared all the necessary information.

I picked the ones with good tones.

But there is no perfect match.

It's really difficult to find someone

with perfect pitch.

Okay.

We'll do the interview this afternoon then.

Okay, I will color it after the interview.

Sir.

Didn't Mr. Yu say...

Do you understand that?

Let's check here.

Welcome. Is there anything I can help you?

This one.

And this pair of pants.

Get them in her size for her to try on.

Miss, you have a great taste. This set is the new arrival in our store.

It just arrived yesterday.

Go and try it.

Okay.

Okay, you may leave.

This way, please.

Next, number five, Chen Chen.

Were you a sound engineer at Vita Recording Studio?

I just got back from the United States earlier this year.

The benefits were pretty good there with lots of opportunities.

The boss even wanted to promote me to be the Head of Recording.

But for a patriot like myself,

it's only right to come back and honor my homeland.

All right.

You will listen to two pieces of music. Please put on the headphones.

Tell us what's different when it's done.

May I know

if all the audition candidates listen to the same music?

I think perhaps you could make it a little harder for me.

I'll begin then.

Not bad. You look sophisticated now.

But I think

this doesn't suit my style.

It's more like your style.

There's no such thing. This is exactly what's lacking in your wardrobe.

I think it's nice.

This top is 2,000 yuan and the pants is 1,000 yuan.

This outfit really suits you.

All the clothes in our shop are limited edition.

You won't see the same outfits elsewhere.

I'll look around first.

Hey, Erduo actually shops here.

Where is your boyfriend?

He's busy today.

Good to see you, Ms. Zhang.

We have a new collection that just arrived.

I think you'll like it.

I actually like the outfit she's wearing.

Are you buying it, Erduo?

No.

That's right.

Shopping at the mall is so expensive.

It's more economical to check the styles and buy at Taobao.

Okay, that's the end of the music.

Please tell us the difference.

That's all?

Pretty nice tune. I was really enjoying it.

The difference is actually very small.

I think there is a little issue with the cello part

during the second verse.

According to my professional judgment,

I think the tuning wasn't done accurately.

So during the third verse,

the sound was a bit off.

Well, the first part was done beautifully.

There wasn't any problem.

There is also a bit of problem with the violin during the second part.

I was totally engrossed in the music just now.

I didn't expect the two parts to be so short.

It ended sooner than expected.

Can I listen to it again?

All the interviewees have only one chance.

You may leave now.

Okay, that's all for the interview.

You may leave.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Who are you?

I'm Erduo's former classmate.

Erduo is not buying the outfit, so I'm buying it.

What former classmate? Who said we're not buying?

Erduo, who is she?

Zhang Yilu.

Zhang...

You mean the one in your graduation photo.

The one with the small eyes, flat nose, fat chin and no eyebrows.

I bet you spent a fortune to get this face. My goodness.

Who the hell are you?

Why do you care?

Are you buying the outfit for her?

If not, take it off.

Who said we're not buying? Miss, give me the bill.

Lizi, I still think this outfit

doesn't suit me.

I think it suits you just fine.

If it doesn't, we can just cut it and use as rags.

I don't mind. Miss, give me the bill.

Sure.

Use as rags.

I have a friend who works at Ye Shuwei's workshop.

She sees him every day.

They said Ye Shuwei doesn't have a girlfriend.

Who's the thick-face

who claimed to be Ye Shuwei's girlfriend?

It's none of your business.

Unless you're his invisible girlfriend.

Otherwise, why don't the people around him know?

Bei Erduo.

They're having a class reunion soon

where they can bring a plus one.

But Ye Shuwei only registered for himself.

I bet you didn't know.

If your boyfriend is ashamed to show you off,

what's the use of an all-natural face?

I don't feel like talking to you now.

Erduo.

Stop pretending.

Anyone with eyes can tell.

I'm doing this for your sake.

Zhang Yilu, is it?

Be careful with what you say.

Ye Shuwei is indeed Erduo's boyfriend and everyone knows that.

Erduo just told that

she's going to his reunion party.

That's why we're here shopping for new clothes.

Do you have a problem with that?

Really?

Sure, go then.

We'll see if Ye Shuwei would be happy to see you.

Of course, she's going.

Erduo is a natural beauty.

Unlike you and your fake, pretentious face.

You talk too much.

It's none of your business.

You can't stop me.

It's easy for you to say, but can you afford this?

I've overspent my card.

Then, how are we going to pay?

I couldn't just let her step on you.

I don't have money.

Use your credit card.

Credit--

Hi, miss. The price is 2,980 yuan after discount. Your pin code, please.

Did you say it's more than 2,000 yuan?

Two thousand nine hundred eighty is still more than 2,000.

Stop dillydallying if you're not buying.

Can't you see she's swiping the card?

Lizi.

I think we should return this outfit that costs 2,980 yuan.

You came out of the shop wearing it.

How can you return it?

I haven't removed the tags yet.

Just forget about it.

You'll wear this outfit to the recording tomorrow.

I'll put in a claim for it after that.

I don't think this is right.

It's okay. Just a little dent on Yu Sheng.

How about Ye Shuwei's class reunion?

Why did you have to say that I'm going?

-He'll never bring me. -Hey.

That plastic face really got on my nerves.

Her fake nose almost poked you. Could you take it?

It felt good just now.

-Felt very good. -Right.

But what about now?

You can try asking Ye Shuwei.

Maybe he'd agree if you ask him cutely or innocently.

Wait, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet.

You figure it out, okay?

Damn it, Lizi.

You just pushed me off the cliff.

Hello, Mom. What's up?

Erduo, are you still reading stories on the Internet?

Why can't you just focus on being a kindergarten teacher?

Mom, I'm not just reading stories.

It's...

What's the matter?

Yes, something important.

Do you remember Mrs. Zhang's sister's nephew's classmate's cousin?

The one who attended your seventh birthday party.

Both of you blew the candles together.

I still have that photo. He's fair and has single eyelids.

A likable boy.

I don't remember.

Just get to the point.

Okay, so he was studying music abroad.

But he's back now.

You guys should meet if you can.

Both of you are involved with composing stuff.

-There's a mutual interest. -Wait.

What do you mean by composing? Mom, I'm...

Why are you doing this again?

What do you mean why?

I'm warning you. I don't trust in your judgment.

You are immoral, just like your dad.

I've seen all your videos.

-Do you still wish to get married? -Stop, Mom.

-I already have a boyfriend. -What?

You mean that carpenter?

I'm telling you right now that I oppose it.

If you're messing with me,

-I'm going to get you. -Is it recording?

Mom, I need to go for a recording.

I can't talk right now.

I need to go. I'll talk to you again next time.

LOVE IN PROGRESS

Good day, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to Love in Progress.

Today's theme is about outdoor adventure.

A heart-thumping date at the amusement park.

Now, the four couples will be drawing lots

to decide their heart-thumping task.

First, let's have our age-gap couple,

-Chen Kai and Qin Shiyue, -Let's draw.

to draw their task.

This is so exciting.

-What task will they get? -The merry-go-round.

The merry-go-round. How exciting.

-The pirate ship. -Good luck to you.

The roller coaster.

This will be really thrilling.

And team four, the different-height couple.

Ye Shuwei and Bei Erduo.

What will they get?

We're waiting anxiously.

What is it?

The ghost house.

The ghost house?

You seem very excited. Aren't you scared?

Not at all. I've never been to one, so I'm really curious.

I probably shouldn't tell her this then.

-This cemetery-themed ghost house -The ghost house.

is voted as the scariest activity in the amusement park.

Now, let's have the four couples

move to their respective rides

to complete their heart-thumping tasks.

Let's go!

You're not scared at all?

What is there to be scared of? I've watched too many horror movies.

This will be nothing, but a piece of cake for me.

My goodness!

I haven't done anything.

Okay.

Hey, I'm with you. Don't scare me.

Then, why am I here for?

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have prepared a few questions

for our couples today.

The answers are hidden within their dating tasks.

Will they be able to complete the mission? Let's wait and see.

Aren't you scared?

Do you think

there will be some sort of trap

that suddenly pops up?

You'd better not break their props.

Who knows...

Just follow my lead and don't run around.

Don't talk so much.

You're scaring yourself.

Gosh...
