[GO Into Your Heart]

[Episode 27]

I support your decision

to participate in the competition,

on the condition

that

you have to take care of your own health,

and shouldn't push yourself too hard.

Do you hear me?

Yes, I heard you.

Look at your silver tongue.

Let's see

how capable you are.

Don't get eliminated

at the audition.

Then, what if

I pass the audition?

Then, I'll switch

to my professional self,

and interview

the pretty chef

who has been living in disguise.

Promise.

Promise.

I just said that!

Are you okay?

I'm okay. Just twisted a little.

I'm okay.

[Tianshui Lane 116] Panda.

Let's go!

Let's go.

Here.

Wait a minute. What happened to your hand?

I accidentally cut myself.

Why were you so careless?

It must hurt a lot when you cut it.

Fortunately, it's your left hand that was hurt.

If you hurt your right hand

and can't play chess,

I'll live in remorse for the rest of my life.

If I can't help you when you cook,

I'll live in remorse for the rest of my life as well.

Let's go.

Don't be late.

Let's go.

You shall walk on the inside.

[Non-professional Culinary Contest, Audition, Competition Room C]

Hi, may I have your name?

Cheng Liao.

This is your name tag.

All right. It's time to go in.

Is number one here?

Yes.

You need one too.

Number two.

Number three.

The winner of this group is...

[Direct Pass] number seven.

Panda.

I've never been

this happy.

Keep going.

All the way to the championship.

We should go somewhere

to celebrate it.

I'll take you somewhere.

It's so beautiful up here.

If you want to ride a Ferris wheel,

I'll bring you

to the amusement park tomorrow.

This Ferris wheel

is different from that one.

Not just anybody

can ride this with me.

What is so special about this one?

It takes exactly 13 minutes and 14 seconds

to complete one round.

This signifies a lifetime of love.

How can I

take this ride with just anyone?

Then, this will be my one and only time

riding this Ferris wheel.

Not for me. I want to ride this thrice.

I want to stay with you

for three lifetimes.

♪Like the encounter between the stars and the night♪

♪You could see through my mind♪

♪The sweet pomelo candy seems to be opening its mouth♪

♪Whispering to me that it loves me♪

Liao Liao.

In the future, I want to count your eyelashes

once a day.

Me too.

I won't drink the water from the Lethe.

I want to remember you forever

and stay with you forever.

♪Looking at you coming close♪

♪Even the crush can't wait for it♪

♪Let's say it together♪

♪Nice to meet you♪

♪Our promised future♪

♪Caressed within my grasp♪

♪It is quite apparent♪

♪Every step is filled with love♪

♪For You♪

You first hid your injury from me,

then your participation in the contest.

You've been withholding everything from me.

Jing Chu.

I've always trusted you.

How could you let her do whatever she wanted?

You even accompanied her to the contest.

Dad.

Don't get all worked up.

I simply wanted to participate in the contest

and put my cooking skill

to test.

What can one do

with good cooking skills? Huh?

Can it put food on your table?

Don't you run a restaurant

yourself too?

Why are you...

Exactly because I run a restaurant myself,

I know how difficult it is

to live amid fire and smoke.

Whenever you mention

cooking,

I feel

especially guilty.

If I had spent more time

with you when you were little,

you wouldn't have learned

how to cook this young.

Uncle Cheng,

you don't have to feel bad about this.

Liao Liao was born

with great senses of smell and taste.

She has also told me before

that she enjoys cooking

very much.

Don't interfere in our conversation.

Zhi Liao, I'm warning you.

If you dare participate in the contest,

I'll leave the hospital immediately.

I'll stay at home with you.

I'll stay with you every day.

Why are you so stubborn?

Yes. I'm stubborn.

If you join the contest, I'll leave the hospital.

I don't need this leg anymore.

Dad.

I like cooking very...

Cut it out. Whatever you say.

How is it?

Have I improved on cutting?

My dad is making a huge fuss.

How are you still in the mood

to do this?

How can I compete

tomorrow?

Haven't you already made up your mind?

Act first. Report later.

No.

I can't let my dad

leave the hospital like this.

I asked the doctor in secret.

The doctor said

that Uncle Cheng is already fit enough

to be discharged.

Really?

Really.

Besides,

this is what you want to do the most.

You have also got

a head start.

How can you back down now?

Look.

Guess what this is.

Matching aprons?

When we put this on tomorrow,

we will surely get a good result.

Thanks.

[Pinecone Video]

[New Swordsman] It looks good.

Looks good.

Yes.

I agree.

[Non-professional Culinary Contest, Qualifying Round]

[Non-professional Culinary Contest, Qualifying Round]

This is brought to you by Pinecone Video

and New Swordsman.

Experts Within Cities,

the Non-professional Culinary Contest.

After a fierce round of auditions

and the first round of elimination,

we've now entered

the qualifying round.

[Sheng Jing Chu. We'll always support you.]

For this round,

the players

are given 45 minutes

to complete a cold dish

and a main course.

You can choose among dishes

from eight major styles of cooking, which are

Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang,

Jiangsu, Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui.

Next,

let's welcome Chef Xue,

the head judge,

to announce the opening

of this round of fierce competition.

Please.

All right. Without further ado,

in three...

Two...

One...

Start!

Hi, Miss Cheng Liao.

From what I understand,

you are the youngest

among

all the other contestants.

It's said that you hurt your left hand before.

May I know

what keeps you going

until today?

I want to prove to my beloved family

that I won't get eliminated at the audition.

Hi, Mr. Sheng Jing Chu.

As a nine dan pro of Go,

you have just won the Ten-game Match,

and now you're here

at the culinary contest.

It's obvious

that you are quite an all-rounder.

May I know

what style of cooking

you're best at?

I'm not good at cooking.

I'm here...

only for some reason.

For this, I especially learned fruit-carving

from a master.

Xu Chi, what are you watching?

I'm watching your daughter and your son-in-law.

Look at this.

I don't want to.

Look at this.

No! I won't.

Switch to another channel.

I can't switch to another channel now.

I'm in charge of this project.

I need to keep an eye on it.

Then, you should do it at the scene.

It hasn't reached that stage yet.

[Top sixteen]

Do you want something to eat?

It's the final tomorrow.

Let's keep it up.

What is the pomelo for today?

For good luck?

I will stand by you.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

[Chen Yi, I love you]

[Good luck]

[Great job]

It's quite windy today.

Thank you, sir.

Uncle Cheng.

Uncle Cheng.

Be careful.

Why are you here?

Senior Jing told me

that you are against

Sister Cheng Liao's participation in the contest.

I'm not here for her.

I'm a chef

and I'm here to watch the contest.

That's not...

Yes.

We're all here to watch the contest.

We're not here for her.

-Let's go. -Who cares about her?

Let me help you.

Be careful.

Do you have any more of these signs?

[All the best, Cheng Liao]

All the best, Cheng Liao!

All right. Hold it for me.

Take care.

There's a character "He"* (*Lit.: lotus)

in my mom's name.

Before I knew how to read,

with a pack of MSG in her hand,

she always told me,

"Look.

This 'He'

is the same character in my name."

Later, a sickness took my mom's life.

Hehua MSG

has also changed its packaging.

However, we always put a bag of this

on our kitchen top.

We don't use it.

We only place it there.

Although my dad is not here today,

I have my sister,

my mom,

and you.

All departments, get ready.

We're starting now.

Three.

Two.

[Non-professional Culinary Contest] One. Start.

A round of applause.

After many rounds of elimination,

at last,

we are at the final of

Experts Within Cities,

the Non-professional Culinary Contest.

Yes.

Yes.

All right.

All the friends and families

of the contestants.

Let's

give them

a loud cheer!

[All the best, Cheng Liao] Good luck!

Come on. Sheng Jing Chu must be the winner.

Good luck, Jing Chu.

Good luck.

Good luck.

All right.

I believe all the contestants

have already received the cheers and support

from their friends and families.

I'm sure their morale is now well boosted.

Next, we will enter

the most anticipated and defining moment.

All the contestants

are given an hour

to complete a cold dish,

a main course,

and a dessert.

I need the three judges

and all of the audience

here

to start the countdown with me.

Three.

Two.

One.

Start.

Good luck!

[Sheng Jing Chu]

[www.88.com]

I'm fine.

I can do it myself.

I know.

The relationship between Senior Jing and Sister-in-law

is just like a fairy tale.

This is too touching.

Lan,

if the camera focuses

on me now

and captures the most sentimental side of mine,

do you think my handsome crying face

can earn me some fans?

Uncle Cheng.

Looking at how tenacious

Sister Cheng Liao is,

you should...

Where's Uncle Cheng?

Sir.

You can't go on the stage.

I'm Cheng Liao's father.

Don't stop me.

Let me go on stage.

You can't go on stage even if you're her family member.

I only need a minute.

I just want to tell her something.

We're recording. Please keep it down.

Sir, we're recording.

Uncle Cheng, you...

Xu Chi, you're here.

Tell them

to let me go on stage.

Uncle Cheng,

come with me.

Here.

Where are we going?

This way.

We're recording a show.

Okay.

Watch out.

Uncle Cheng, be careful.

Be careful. Your leg.

Xu Chi,

why did you bring me here?

I want to help Cheng Liao.

Uncle Cheng.

You can't go on stage now.

They are having a contest.

You'll break the rules if you get up there.

Then, Zhi Liao's effort will all go to waste.

I was being too impulsive.

Uncle Cheng.

It's okay.

We understand that you care for your daughter.

I wanted to go up there and help her

when I saw Cheng Liao cutting herself just now.

I can't cook at all,

not to mention you're a good cook.

Yan Xiao.

Zhi Liao told me a lot about you.

She's pretty tight with you.

What's wrong?

I saw the fairy-tale-like relationship

between Cheng Liao and Jing Chu.

I'm moved

and envious.

When

are you going to ring?

Hey.

Sir,

do you need a bank loan?

Go away.

We have

ten seconds left.

Let the countdown begins.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Time's up.

All right.

The three judges

have tasted the dishes carefully

and gone through a meticulous discussion.

Experts Within Cities,

Master In Disguise.

The final result

of this Non-professional Culinary Contest

is in my hand.

Next,

I'll start by

announcing fourth place.

Fourth-place

of this contest is...

Sorry.

Sorry.

Cheng Liao.

Sheng Jing Chu.

Please come forward.

You did great.

Well done!

Cheng Liao,

does this result

leave you with any regrets?

No.

I'm very happy with this result.

For me,

this is already unexpected.

Before I decided to sign up,

I had completely no confidence in myself.

If it wasn't for Sheng Jing Chu,

I wouldn't have been able

to stand here today.

This precious experience

let me know

where my passion

and talent truly lies.

I'm very happy.

I've already overcome my own fear

and found my true self.

Zhi Liao,

I have always been curious

about something.

May I know

what motivated you

to start cooking?

My family.

In fact, until today,

I don't think

they are in full support

of my participation in this contest.

They don't actually support

my dream of becoming a cook.

Today,

I replicated

the dish which I once made when I was a kid.

Back then, I followed the recipe

and made this dish with the leftover chicken

my granny left in the fridge.

I learned

from that dish

that

I can actually put

a happy and contented smile

on my family members' faces.

Then,

what about now?

Myself.

This is exactly the dish

that let me reflect on my past.

To be honest,

I'm still young.

However,

for

the past twenty years,

I...

I've done many things

for others,

but not myself.

Cooking,

as far back as I can remember,

brought about my first ever rebellion.

In fact,

I was rebelling against my granny

who didn't quite know how to cook.

It's this trivial

so-called rebellion,

an ordinary

and insignificant person like me

was left with a strength

(and a belief.)

(It taught me)

that food could soothe people's souls.

It can bring happiness

to both the one who makes it and the one who eats it.

I believe

you've heard

that I called her "Zhi Liao".

That's right.

She is my beloved sister.

Cheng Zhi Liao.

Being here with you today

on the same stage

is the happiest recording I've ever had

since I became a host.

However,

I think you made a mistake.

In fact,

no matter what you like

and what you want to do,

your family

will always support you unconditionally.

Love

is supposed to be unconditional.

Sorry.

I wish to ask

for forgiveness

from those who are here

and those who are watching this in front of the television.

Right now,

I don't want

to be the host of the contest.

I want to stand

right next to her

as her sister

and her family.

Cheng Liao.

I'm here for you.

I'll always support you.

Dad.

Be careful.

Dad.

You haven't fully recovered yet.

Why are you here?

I was wrong.

I will always support you.

Congratulations!

Sister Yi, congratulations.

This food show has set a new record in the highest views

in Pinecone Video.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, My Queen.

Why are you making fun of me too?

Mr. Xu was right.

You are now

the queen of the company.

Besides,

you are also our gem.

Of course.

We have to give half the credits

to Cheng Liao too.

The family show

was too touching.

It's our company's honor

to be able

to have both of you working for us.

Since I have limited vocabulary,

I guess I'll say no more.

Let's give them a round of applause.

That's enough.

Get back to work.

Thanks.

Ms. Cheng.

I've booked a table at a Michelin three-star restaurant.

The chef hails from France.

I'll buy you a meal

to celebrate your success.

Ms. Liu, I really appreciate it

but a meal is not necessary.

There are still a lot of work

to be done.

I'll get my work done first.

Thank you.

I appreciate your kindness.

You have to eat anyway.

You are in such a good mood.

You must have something big

to tell me.

Take a guess.

Do you want to

repeat everything

that I've done for you?

No.

Take a look at this.

What is this?

What is this?

Panda and Liao Liao.

These are our initials.

Are you sure

this doesn't stand

for extra-large?

You're too blunt.

Stop laughing.

Fine.

If you think it stands for extra-large,

then it is.

Then...

I need you

to give me a double dose of courage.

What happened?

Liao Liao.

Are you planning to resign?

After the culinary contest,

I seem to have finally known

what I actually want.

However,

I become a coward

whenever I should make a decision.

I don't want to make my sister sad

or upset my dad.

Most importantly,

I'm afraid that I'm not good enough.

I might lose my current job,

and achieve nothing in the future.

It doesn't matter

even if you achieve nothing.

It gives me a chance to support you financially.

You're looking down on me.

You expect me to achieve nothing.

I'm only telling you

if you've made up your mind,

you should just go for it.

You've already proven yourself.

Before this,

you told me to let go of the idea of winning or losing.

Similarly,

you should let go of the idea of success and failure.

You're cooking

not for success,

but for your personal interest.

Be brave.

I'm right here.

Besides,

I meant it when I said I could support you

financially.

Is there anyone else you want to support

beside me?

How dare you hesitate?

I'll tie us up.

You can't run away from me.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

Where?

To a banquet with a special meaning.

Be careful, Uncle Cheng.

Be careful.

Watch the step.

Be careful.

Uncle Cheng.

Jing Chu.

This way.

Here.

Take a seat.

Jing Chu.

Did you prepare this?

Among the two chefs in our house,

one has a broken leg and another one has an injured finger.

Panda bought this

from a high-class restaurant.

Hopefully, you can make do

with the cooking of the chef of state-banquet level.

Jing Chu.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Uncle Cheng.

Sanitize your hand before you eat.

I can just wash my hands.

Let's go.

There's no need for that.

This is more convenient.

That's really thoughtful of you.

The dishes look really appetizing.

Hurry up. I'm starving.

Enjoy the food.

I'll get going.

Aren't you here to welcome me?

Join us.

I'm not hungry.

I'm starving.

You're not hungry either.

This...

Uncle Cheng.

I need to talk to Xu Chi.

We'll get going.

You should eat before you leave.

What...

Can't we talk

-after we eat? -Yes.

Uncle Cheng. Welcome home.

I think we should...

I'm not done yet.

Can't we talk after we eat?

Well...

What's going on?

What do you want to tell me?

Why can't we talk in there?

I have nothing to tell you.

You're kidding me.

You can't go in.

Why not?

Liao Liao has something to say.

She can say it even if I'm around.

No, she can't.

We're a family.

No.

This is a family meal.

I'll buy you a meal.

I can walk by myself.

Stop holding me.

I am...

What was Jing Chu doing?

Why does it feel like

he's trying to clear out a space for us?

Dad, here.

Let me pour you a glass of wine.

Let's do an opening for us.

You should have some too.

It's been a long time since I last came home.

I was terribly homesick.

Let me propose a toast for...

two things.

Firstly,

this is to celebrate

Cheng Zhi Liao's first participation in a culinary contest.

You hurt your hand,

yet

you won

fourth place.

Like father, like daughter.

You were really impressive.

Here.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Look how proud you are.

Secondly,

I want to apologize to you.

Back then,

I was always against you being a cook.

It was too arbitrary of me.

In that case,

I should apologize too.

That's enough.

Dad. Sister.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I always knew

that you were doing that for my sake.

I want to take this opportunity

and discuss something with you

while everyone is in a good mood.

Go ahead.

I will do everything for you

as long as it's within my ability.

I want to resign.

Why?

You're not satisfied with being an amateur chef.

Now, you want to be a professional one.

I've lost interest

in new media.

I want to work for you

and cook amid fire and smoke, Boss Cheng.

Moreover,

your leg has yet to recover.

Allow me to help you

and be your assistant.

Please.

No.

You promised

that you would always help me.

Sister.

Don't look at me.

The restaurant is not mine.

I can't decide for him.

You guys broke your promises

right after the apology.

What a quick change.

Boss Cheng is probably saying

that

the time hasn't come yet.

When will the time come?

At least, we need to wait until the day

when you can hold the knife without your hand trembling.

I don't want

a disabled apprentice.

Sister, did he just agree to take me in?

Dad is only worried

that you're rushing things.

Your hand still hurts, after all.

Boss.

Is it true?

Didn't I say

that I would do everything for you

as long as it's within my ability?

Then, the restaurant will be mine.

That's for sure.

Dad,

I love you so much.

Here, I'll pour you...

Drink up.

I'll pour you some more wine.

Sure.

Here. Take it slow.

Just one cup.

-You're still drinking? -It's okay.

Just another cup.

-How much have you had? -It's okay.

Cheng Zhi Liao.

Cheng Zhi Liao.

What are you doing?

Stop fooling around.

You can't drink anymore.

What did the doctor say?

[Director's Office]

Come in.

Ms. Liu.

Cheng Liao.

Are you fully recovered?

Yes, I am.

Thank you for asking.

Good to hear that.

From now on,

you must focus on your work.

I happen

to have

a very important task for you.

The Super Slow Go Tour Tournament in Qingdao

will soon commence.

You know what it means, right?
