[Episode 24]

Are you ready?

- Hello, Uncle. I’m Xiong Yifan. - What are you doing?

- Okay, I think I’m ready. - Let’s go.

- Next time. - What’s wrong?

I am too nervous.

My parents are already waiting.

Why don’t you say that I have a fever? Or that I broke my leg?

Or... just give any reason.

You’ve already met my mom. My dad... is not that scary.

Really?

- I keep feeling that you're too good for me. - No, I'm not.

There is. My heart...

- Mom. - Both of you are already at the front door.

Why didn’t you guys go in?

This is Yan Ke’s dad. This is Xiao Xiong.

Hello, hello. I’m Xiong Yifan.

- Hello. - Alright, don’t just stand there.

Let’s go into the house.

It’s fine. Let’s go.

Xiao Xiong, this is not your first time entering our home. Why are you being so formal?

Relax. Relax.

It’s not her first time?

That’s right.

The last time she came, you happened to be out.

That was during New Year’s, right?

I still remember she came just went our son was showering.

Mom...

So my son gets shy and blushes?

No.

Actually, the first time I met Xiao Xiong,

I felt a strange sense of kinship and affection.

I always felt that you’d be a part of our family sooner or later.

Isn’t that right?

Please.

Do you usually cook at home?

I know a little bit, Uncle.

- That’s good. - Uncle, you have to blanch them in hot water for a while.

Blanch them for a while? Who said that?

We’ve been eating it this way for so many years.

Then you guys might have been eating a lot of oxalic acid all these years.

Oxalic acid?

Okay, I’ll blanch them for a while.

Okay. Then the water temperature must be kept between 60 to 70 degrees Celsius.

You really know a lot.

Son.

- Son? - Does Aunt go to the beauty salon? - Yes.

- She shouldn't eat too much of it. - Why?

There are photosensitive chemicals. It's not good for those who wants to stay pale.

Photosensitive chemicals? It can darken your skin?

Don’t worry.

I just know that Xiao Xiong will definitely

win your dad over.

It can help clear blood vessels.

That’s good. Then let’s eat more of that.

I can finally be free.

Spinach is also tasty.

I recommend you all to try this fish to see how it tastes.

Based on the looks and smell alone, I think this fish is going to be extremely delicious.

Did Xiao Xiong teach you how to prepare it?

Uncle prepared it. Uncle prepared it by himself.

Here.

- Here, this is for you. - Thank you.

- Dip it in some soup. - Here, eat this.

Thank you.

Why are you picking the green peppers out?

- I don’t eat green peppers. - Why?

- No reason. I’ve never eaten them since I was young. - No.

You’re such a picky eater.

Open.

Open.

- Have one more. - That’s enough.

Why are you looking at me?

Actually, I...

I’m not that picky.

Xiao Xiong,

I’m giving you this piece as a reward.

- Thank you, Auntie. - Thank you

for curing the long-standing problem of picky eating in this household.

- You’re talking nonsense. - You’re so amazing.

I’m not a picky eater.

Have you realized that both your mom and dad are equally fun to be around?

They just don't always show their good side, like you.

- Wait. - To tell you the truth,

I...

I don't even know. Ever since I grew up,

I don’t remember the last time I got along so well with my dad.

When you were teaching him just now, he just

seemed like a primary school student.

When did I educate him? I was very respectful to him okay?

So this is what it means to meet one's match.

So, am I your match?

Did I?

Did I?

-No. - Yes. - Fine, yes

You have a message.

- Tang Tang. - Tang Tang?

She’s saying, after we go back to school,

she wants to meet me.

What is she doing? Does she want to challenge me again?

Are you scared?

How could that be? I’m scared of her?

Where are you? I’m here.

Tang Tang?

Does it sound good?

It sounds good. Your condition got better?

- It’s much better. - That’s good. Congratulations.

I came back this time to thank you specially.

Why are you being so courteous?

It’s because of you.

Because you made me realize that, if I’m brave enough to face certain difficulties,

there’s still hope.

But you seemed to have forgotten that yourself.

I...

Come here.

I’m talking about throwing javelin.

You’re really going to give up?

I also don’t want to

but my hand can never throw javelin again.

Don’t you still have your left hand?

I’m not left-handed.

I can even stand on stage by myself.

Why can’t you use your left hand to throw javelin?

I'm inciting you. Did you not hear it?

- I heard it. - You heard it?

What do you think of the results?

Thank you.

Don’t mention it.

Don’t mention it.

Choose one.

This one.

What’s wrong?

It’s just... I can’t fall asleep.

There’s something I want to tell you.

What do think about

me using my left hand to practice javelin again?

Of course I’ll support you.

Can I do it?

You can definitely do it.

- All the best. - Okay.

Coach.

I just knew that you’d definitely come back.

I’ve been keeping this javelin for you.

Thank you, Coach.

Get ready to use your left hand and start.

Go!

Go, Xiao Xiong!

Go!

♫ And you're heart didn't burst though they see Hercules ♫

♫ to stop me with the blood in my bones ♫

♫ and the fire in my boots, I will stay here ♫

♫ Fighting for you ♫

What do you think competing again with the Javelin using my left hand?

Go!

I didn't know Boss has such a strong will power.

Unlike you, who is always giving up halfway.

I...

How's that girl you've been talking to?

I'm serious this time. I've made up my mind.

If I failed the first time, I'll try again.

If I failed the second time, I'll try again for the third time.

What if you fail every time?

I won't be that unlucky, right?

Who knows.

Right. Put it here.

I... I need to go. Bye-bye.

- You keep practicing. - Okay.

Was that Qi Xiaosong?

No, it was just a mice

who ran away after seeing a cat.

What a coward.

Okay, today's practice is over. Class dismissed.

- Thanks Coach. - How was it?

- Very good. Keep on going.

- Let me practice some more. - Don't.

You still need to rest your hands.

Don't injury it again.

I'm leaving now.

Bye-bye.

- I'm very tired. - Tired?

We still have English class later.

With your English skills, I don't think you need to take English.

You don't need to go.

Buy one get one free. It's cheap.

- I just want to be with you, alright? - Okay.

Let's go.

You've worked hard.

Hello.

Class monitor is here to see us again.

Don't flatter yourself.

She's here to see Yan Ke.

Who she's here for is not important. What's important is

we get to eat food again!

You two look happy together.

What does being happy look like?

If you're asking the me right now,

I'd tell you

it's the feelings of first love.

In each other's company, we move forward together.

And happiness is on the way too

and turning into a different kind.

My husband is so handsome.

Can you turn down your piano's volume? My husband is singing!

Your husband?

Drink some water.

Can you put it down gently next time?

Thanks.

Brother.

Go play your piano.

You scared me.

It's so tough, so tough.

it's easy to fall in love, but it's so hard to get along.

That's enough. What's so hard about staying with Prince Charming?

Prince charming?

Forget it. Xiong Yifan now has a new husband each day.

She changes them everyday.

That can't be it.

Calling them my husband is for fun.

They can't come out of the screen. There's no threat at all.

Unlike him, he receives photos of Tang Tang with her long legs everyday.

Everyone has legs.

Those are photos of Tang Tang's performance.

She didn't just send them to me. She sent them to Xiao Xiong too.

She sent them to the group chat.

Unlike that Bai Yuze who

always post old photos of Xiao Xiong on Weibo. The main point is

she saves every single one of them.

This point is dangerous.

You think I want to save them?

Yan Ke's hands can't do anything else besides playing the piano.

The photos Yan Ke takes are either blurry or ugly.

Even my own dad won't recognize me.

I can't count on him.

Boss!

What?

Your head hurts?

What's wrong?

Why are you giving me your wine?

I was fine drinking this.

Hurry and take your goddess back.

I can't handle her.

Let's go home.

Bye-bye.

When I'm not with you, drink less.

But I only drank a little.

Just a little?

Your face is red. Is it really just a little?

Is it red?

You don't believe me?

It's okay right?

Don't believe me? I'll take a photo for you.

No no no. You suck at taking photos.

You really think I'm not good at taking photos?

It's just that... it can be improved.

Let me try again.

Don't move. Every time you move...

- Okay, I won't take it anymore. - Let me see it. You must've taken some.

- I'll let you see it tomorrow. - Show me. So ugly.

- You'd better delete it. - Alright, come here.

Qi Xiaosong!

Come back!

How long are you going to avoid me?

I... not... not avoiding you.

I've thought it through about what you've told me last time.

This fast?

Not fast. It's been three months.

- I think we— - Well... I have to go to the farewell party for Dingding.

It's a big thing. We can talk next time. I'm leaving now.

You think you can run away from this?

Running away is shameful, but it's useful.

[Resignation]

Resignation?

Tell me. Are you not satisfied with me or you want a pay raise?

Don't be so dramatic.

I'm going abroad.

What?

All of sudden?

Not sudden at all. I've been planning since first year of college.

I worked here to make my resume look good.

But...

Anyways,

thank you for all this time,

Boss.

Ding Ming's flight is about to take off.

Dingding, we don't want you to go.

Alright, it's not like I'm not coming back.

Dingding, remember to get me everything on my shopping list.

Go away. It's not my job.

Yan Ke, you need to take care of Xiong after I leave.

If you treat her wrong, I won't let you get away with it.

Don't worry. Have a safe trip.

Is Bai Yuze coming?

That's fine. I'm not waiting anymore.

I'm leaving now.

Go.

Be safe.

Bye-bye.

Portable chargers, lithium batteries, laptops, and

lighters cannot be placed in check-in luggages.

How can I be so dumb to put my portable charger in my luggage?

Don't move.

What are you doing here?

If I'm not here, who will help you?

How... how long will you be gone for?

One to two years.

That long?

What? Are you afraid of not finding a good employee like me?

Make sure you take care of yourself abroad.

Don't be fooled by others again.

I'm not easily fooled.

I...

I...

I can find some boyfriends to get some experiences.

Then I can bring a foreign boyfriend back.

Don't be disappointed then.

I will be.

It's a joke.

Anyway, take care.

♫ It's the ashes of the night ♫

I'm leaving now.

♫ Fall in love the gentle depth ♫

♫ Let your thoughts fall asleep quietly ♫

♫ Regret too beautiful, Omit experience ♫

♫ The blurred starry sky is embellished by memories ♫

♫ The passage of time is like water ♫

♫ scattered at the end of the last line of a poem ♫

♫ Scorching reincarnation ♫

♫ Tears of youth ♫

♫ Misleading yet it's beautfiul ♫

♫ Mistakenly thought this was the end ♫

♫ As the last meteor fell ♫

♫ Did you make your wish come true ♫

♫ Time flies and will never return ♫

Punch up. That's right. Keep going. Good.

Good. Up.

Up.

Good. Very good. Continue this move.

- Okay? - Okay.

Continue to practice like this.

Your arms are wrong. Do this.

Your arms should cover like this. Right. Use this to protect...

Punch.

[Piano Recognition: Yan Ke]

Xiao Bai,

look at what this say?

We finally got it.

Are you happy?

Xiao Ze?

Have you seen this?

Where's Xiao Yu?

Dingding! Let me show my face. Don't push me away.

Your head filled up the whole screen.

Hurry. Come on.

Boss! Plague! What are you eating without me?

- Shrimp. - Don't call me that.

Dingding, today is Qiqi Fitness Center's quarterly celebration. Hurry and come back.

- You come back, okay? - We miss you!

I would love to. Will you take my exams for me?

- I can't do that. - He can do it?

- No, thanks. - Well then,

did you buy the limited edition basketball shoes I asked for?

Boss! Take care of him. He's using me as a buyer.

Look at you. Go away!

How have you been lately? Do you miss us?

- Do you miss us? - Don't talk.

How's that graduation project you talked about?

I have some ideas, but for the detailed stuff,

I haven't come up with any ideas yet.

Wait.

- Come here. - Don't.

Hurry.

You should ask your Boss. You Boss must know more than you.

If.. if you have any questions, you can ask me.

Okay. When you're free then.

I'm always free.

Boss! What good food are you guys having?

Aiya.

What are we eating?

Let's call Coach Ming, Xiao Yueyue, okay?

Is Xiao Yueyue okay?

Don't.

I'm going over there.

- Pork. - Pork?

So we've been eating it wrong? This is super salty.

My god.

Coach Ming,

I... I'd like to give you a toast. Thanks to your women's self-defense class,

we've earned three times more this month.

You're welcome. Just pay me well.

Coach Ming, did you gain weight?

I don't think so.

Why do you weigh

more in my heart?

You're so annoying.

Let's call the waiter.

Waiter! Give us the bill.

The hand is much better now.

It's all better now.

Sir, it's 1,700 yuan. I can give you a 10% off.

No need.

Because my love for you will never de discounted.

What a great pickup line.

You're hungry?

You didn't eat when I told you to eat.

That's why I let you take me out for a midnight snack.

I want to eat this.

I'll peel it for you.

Hurry.

It's done. Here.

Is it good?

- Try it. - Don't.

I don't like it.

Is it good?

It's okay...

It's obviously very good. I want another one.

I'll peel another one for you.

- It's so good. - You want more?

It's hot.

Of course,

a pianist's hand

looks good even when peeling shrimp.

I'll keep peeling them for you.

What? What did you say?

I said, I am willing to

keep peeling shrimp for you forever.

You... You... Did you just proposed to me?

I... I... I have been preparing for it,

but

at this location... and I didn't bring the ring. We should find a nice place next time.

No need to wait for next time. Don't they all use this in TV dramas to propose?

You can propose to me now.

With a can tab?

Hold on.

Remember this? This is the first candy you gave me?

Hold on.

Xiong Yifan,

will you marry me?

Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!

Give me your hand.

- I love you. - Me too.

[ Rushi Gallery ]

Bai Yuze. Photography Exhibition: Lens of Love

Hello, are you the photographer?

- Yes. - I really like the lighting and composition.

Thank you. I took it last summer.

There are similar pieces over there.

How is it? Are you satisfied with it?

I look better in real life.

How come you came back early?

Because of my smartness and talent,

I've completed all courses before coming back.

Do you want to come to my graduation project and be a interviewer?

Why? You want to ask me out?

Don't be a narcissist. You're just one of many.

The main leads are Xiao Xiong and Yan Ke.

Why? Are you disappointed?

You've turned bad, Ding Ming.

Get ready.

Hurry. It's here. Almost there.

Qi Xiaosong, what are you doing?

Okay, face forward.

Give me an exclusive.

Stop messing around. She'll blame me for this.

How can she not graduate?

You have me. I already have a headline in my mind.

The most popular photography exhibit...

who created it?

Bai Yuze.

Then I won't be able to graduate with that.

Xiao Xiong, don't be nervous. I'm here.

Are you ready?

Wait.

I'm ready.

How did you turn your confession scene

into a crime scene?

Come here.

I just wanted to get Yan Ke's attention?

What do you mean?

Attention?

You did have my attention.

Did you see me?

I wore the red dress and put on makeup for you. Did you notice me?

I did. You looked very pretty.

Really?

- You're pretty now too. - There were two seconds of hesitation.

- There were two seconds of hesitation. - You were pretty too.

- What about now? - What do you want me to say?

As I said, they're not professional. You should interview me instead.

Okay. I'll interview you.

How long was your longest relationship?

How can you start with this question? Did you do this on purpose?

Please answer my question.

One night.

I'm joking. That was me in the past. I'm different now.

Don't try to cozy up to me. How do I know what you're like now.

Qi Xiaosong, it's your turn.

My turn? Wait a moment.

Handsome.

Hello everyone. I am the owner of Qiqi Fitness Center,

the most handsome in the universe, Qi Xiaosong.

The fitness center believes in the great power of

the passion of youth.

No advertising.

Then what should I say?

Just say your thoughts on Xiao Xiong and Yan Ke.

Talking about me?

Boss... There's nothing to say about Boss.

Best friends for life.

About Yan Ke,

he has problems.

A small problem.

Before, whenever he saw me,

it looked like fire would come out from his eyes.

You should ask him for me.

What does he mean by it?

- Yan Ke. - Come here.

- Sit. - What's wrong?

Sit.

- Why did you stare at me, like you could see right through me? - What?

Why?

You're thinking too much.

You're thinking too much.

I thought too much?

Guess who this is.

Tang Tang.

- Xiong Yifan. - Hello.

In my script, she's a witch who pretends to be nice.

What are you saying? Say it one more time!

I am only kidding. What? You want to hit me?

- Come to America and hit me. - Are you challenging me? - Come on.

Unnamed file

Rename

First love for many years.

What is first love to you?

First love?

It's like an adjective.

When I feel it, I want to use the most beautiful words in the world to describe it.

Then it becomes a verb.

I want to do so many things to let you know that I like you.

As time passes, first love becomes a noun.

It could be the candy box lying on your palm.

Or the red scarf you've treasured for a long time.

Or the gift that you want to give away but haven't gave it away yet.

But, in the end, it becomes a pronoun,

called "I"

because what I miss most is the brave and reckless me when I met my first love.

Do you remember the "you" when you met your first love?
