(Sorry, I Screwed Up)

You didn't

come back last night...

You didn't pick up your phone.

I am... asking you a question.

So rude.

Let me... cook something... for you.

(Liang You'an) (I shouldn't have said that.)

(I don't mean it.)

(Liang You'an)

Hello?

(We are all sober now.)

(We are safe. Don't worry.)

(We can play in the tournament.)

(East China Pegasus Club)

(asked us to register now.)

Then do it.

Do you have to report every trivial matter to me?

You're not a kid.

Do I have to hold your hands and bring you there now?

(What the heck?)

(I thought)

(you'd be happy to hear that.)

(I even fought to be the first one to tell you the news.)

(I don't need that attitude from you.)

Sorry.

You did earn that qualification yourself.

I'm happy for you.

Remember to bring Song Sanchuan with you.

(I called him but he didn't pick up.)

(Maybe he's still drunk.)

All right.

(Liang You'an)

(Contact Jiang Jiaojiao for the registration.)

(It's about the tournament.)

Have some noodles.

You...

Put less. It's salty.

What did I say?

Serve you right.

I only cooked two bowls of...

(New Media Influencers Monthly Ranking)

Among all couples,

you are not among the top 20 most subscribed streamers.

Individually, you're not among the top 30.

Liang Tao is only slightly better.

All thanks to the energy drink stream earlier.

It's not that bad, Ms. Kiki.

After the tennis stream,

we had a sudden boost of followers.

It's not necessarily a good thing.

You gain a lot of visibility

but without more content

to retain the audience,

they will drop you like a hot potato.

Look.

Your followers are decreasing.

Wake up already.

Did you make the energy drink go viral

or was it the other way round?

Their company has released

more products

and they got the internet users' attention.

No one remembers you now.

But Ms. Kiki,

everyone is copying us. They market themselves

as an athletic couple.

That's the internet for you.

People copy trends.

I want you to be more

creative and innovative.

Act first. Do something.

Or you'll just

be forgotten and turn obsolete.

Is that what you want?

Liang Tao, your nose

and your round face

can be improved upon.

Do you want to tweak them a bit?

No.

I quite like my face.

Don't rule it out just yet.

Consult a plastic surgeon first.

Your face is your money-maker.

Liang Tao.

Breakfast is ready.

Coming.

I have asked around, Liang Tao.

For an influencer with tons of followers like you,

you can easily earn

30 to 40 thousand yuan per month.

But you only

give me 2,000 yuan for the monthly expenditure.

Where did the rest go?

Those influencers

either do shady endorsements

or drink and party with rich businessmen.

I manage my account with integrity.

If I'm lucky, I can get 10,000 yuan.

If I do poorly, they will deduct my pay.

10,000 yuan is pretty good.

Where are your savings?

I spent them all.

I have to buy costumes and props

and everything else.

I want you to give me your money

so that I can look after it.

It's not to misappropriate it.

You are a woman.

You need your own savings

to be independent.

Otherwise, when you get married,

you will suffer.

Look at me.

I'm the cautionary tale.

Do you not get it?

You know,

back then,

many men tried to date me.

I don't know what got into me

and I picked a loser to be my husband.

You know

what's the real thing?

Be independent.

Once you're independent,

you won't be taken advantage of by men.

Do you hear me?

Why can't you

do better?

Liang You'an and her mother

will look down on you.

Mom, enough already.

You either complain

about dad or make me feel bad about myself.

You're not the only victim here.

Yes, it's a miserable life.

Why live it?

Darn it.

Why are you barefooted?

It has nothing to do with you.

Your boyfriend bullied you?

No.

I left my parent's place to get some air.

You fought with them?

Parents, they mean well.

But gosh, they are annoying sometimes.

Don't take them too seriously.

Why are you playing here?

You were expelled?

Hell no.

I am the top seed of my club.

They will never kick me out

even if they are going bankrupt.

Besides,

we just took part in a tournament

and we won.

Well,

the club did go bankrupt.

So Liang You'an and you

lost your job then?

No way.

The club was disbanded

but the group isn't.

After playing tennis for many years,

I finally know

what teamwork means.

Although it's challenging

to find a practice venue every day,

everyone is in it together.

We are very motivated.

Jiaojiao.

We can't play now.

They asked for an extension.

Check the chat group where else we can go.

Okay.

I have heard about low-budget companies

but this is my first time seeing a low-budget club.

I feel bad for you.

Bye.

Go look for your tennis court now.

Go fix your slippers too.

You're sick again?

I caught a cold.

The cold medicine

is on the cupboard.

Don't forget to take it.

We need to stock up on cold medicine.

All right?

Do you hear me?

Yes.

No touchy touchy.

I don't need your help.

Why are you drawing now?

Grinding the ink, laying a draft, drawing, seeking inspiration...

I couldn't draw many prawns this morning.

Just one would take me 30 minutes.

Time flew by just like that.

Living alone

is boring you?

You know what

my neighbors were doing

when I was drawing prawns?

The lucky ones drove their grandkids to school.

Some have to look after

their children

and their husbands.

And the worst is Miss Wang.

Whose son refuses to work

and leeches off her.

Get up.

Stop it.

I'm not in the mood.

Don't nap in the afternoon.

Otherwise, you'll wake up at night.

Are you trying to gaze at the moon?

I sleep and eat whenever I want.

No one can stop me.

Yes, you were dumped.

That doesn't mean

you can lie in the bed for three days.

Are you trying to hatch an egg?

If not, get up.

I don't care.

(Tennis 4EVER)

(I shouldn't have said that. I don't mean it.)

You never liked drawing.

What?

My prawn was all alone

so you drew it a companion.

Why?

You're seeing someone now?

Ever since your previous relationship failed,

we have never talked about this kind of thing again.

For years,

I told you

to focus on your career

instead of your love life.

But you never told me if you

ever looked for another boyfriend.

Mom.

I have a question.

Do you want me

to remain single forever?

Or do you not

mean it seriously?

I was sick

and I had to be operated on.

You were so worried that it would affect my pregnancy rate.

Isn't it great to be single?

When you're single,

your work, your life, your friends,

they are your business.

No one can judge you

as long as you're happy.

If you have a significant other,

he will meddle with everything.

At first,

everyone might get along with each other.

But when cracks show up,

you will have so much to lose.

You're pessimistic

because of your subjective experience.

There are healthy relationships too.

One where both parties

help each other become better.

Maybe the relationship will not last.

We take a part of each other

and we split up.

But we still come out the better person.

Give me an example then.

Do you know someone like that?

That short moment of bliss

might turn into a long period of grief.

Think about your previous relationship.

What did you get in the end?

A school leaving certificate.

Song Sanchuan is ghosting me.

Is he?

But you told me

last night you...

It was a mistake.

I shouldn't have done it with him.

It hurt him so much.

And now,

he blocked me.

He even quit sports.

Wait. I don't get it.

It went sour so quickly.

He blocked you now?

I was trying to wait

until it died down.

So I told him

that last night,

we were drunk, intoxicated.

I told him it was a normal thing between adults,

and that he shouldn't take it seriously.

What the heck?

Why did you tell him that?

You're not a playgirl.

You even rejected Nate,

who you liked.

Why did you say those hurtful things?

Why are you so toxic?

I don't know.

I don't know why.

I was...

It was a lapse of judgment.

Everything just came out of my mouth.

And when I realized the mistake,

I already said

what I shouldn't have said.

Liang You'an, you're a coward.

Do you know

what your problem is?

You come up with tons of explanations

so that you can tell yourself that you

don't have feelings for him.

But

you and he took this leap of faith.

I am happy for you.

You are just brainwashed

by the love-phobic doctrine.

Remember the dark cabin

you told me?

It won't consume you.

You're not

going to die right away when you enter it.

You know what you should tell yourself now?

You should tell yourself

that there is another cabin.

When you go inside,

lights will be turned on.

Oh, I should have come inside sooner!

Why didn't I?

Do you see it?

We are friends for many years.

I can claim to be your confidant.

In the past six months,

you have changed a lot.

You rebelled against Jiang Jie.

You threw away the good position

you were offered.

From last year

you would have never imagined that you

would do this this year.

Because I met Song Sanchuan this year.

See?

You know better than anyone else

who made you change that much.

So why resist it?

Stop shouting at me.

I was born this way.

Liang Tao.

How many times

have we had this talk?

Have you looked at your own analytics?

Do you not feel desperate?

You have no followers.

No views.

You didn't do anything new.

I asked you to get a microsurgery

and you said no.

Fine,

give me the result

that can prove your worth.

I did release more videos.

I made sure I talked about

interesting topics and that the quality is good.

Tell me now then.

All the popular videos you have.

The swimming center one,

the energy drink one,

and the Japanese restaurant one.

Which one pulled in more views because the video quality

was amazing?

None.

Daring is your image.

Give me something out of the box.

Anything.

I don't care how

innocent of a girl

you are off camera.

But when the camera is on,

you will be the daring girl you are.

I signed you

because you are willing to take risks.

Not because you're good at editing.

Do I make myself clear?

Here, for you.

Are you sure?

What?

No need to play dumb.

I saw

Ms. Kiki and you just now.

I am not playing dumb.

It's consensual anyway.

What?

You know she's married.

You know very well

what you're doing here.

That's only one way to see it.

I'm not ambitious like you.

I don't want to have a breakthrough

on my own.

If I can please Ms. Kiki,

I will receive more investments.

And my career will be smoother.

You are frank.

In that case,

why pretend to be my boyfriend on stream?

I didn't expect

sanctimony from you.

You want to be popular but you are not willing to grovel.

You think shooting a video with a pretty face

is enough to make you go viral?

I don't need a lecture

from someone who takes shortcuts.

Liang Tao.

It's fine if you sneer

at my choice now.

But after two years,

you might not be more successful than I am.

Sorry then.

I'm on my period today

so we can't shoot.

Have fun.

The ball bounces back

when you hit it to the ground.

It does this over again and again.

I find solace in the mundane.

But you are a streamer.

You want followers and views.

Are they worth it?

You have been hanging out way too long

with people like him.

I signed you

because you are willing to take risks.

Not because you're good at editing.

Do I make myself clear?

It's fine if you sneer

at my choice now.

But after two years,

you might not be more successful than I am.

Is it too much to ask you

to buy something for me?

You won't spend

several hundred yuan for me.

Liang Tao and you

are the same. Stingy.

(No Smoking)

Here.

What are you doing?

One of us definitely killed

the other in our previous life.

I killed you, of course.

I don't usually play this.

It was just to change things up.

Shouldn’t you be streaming now?

Aren't you supposed

to flirt with your fake boyfriend?

So nosy.

You don't look like someone

who visits a cheap internet cafe either.

I don't want to go home.

Me too.

That's something we have in common.

Have you eaten?

My treat.

Let's go.

Come. Try it.

I mean how serious can it be?

You're old enough to be independent

even though your parents are getting a divorce.

I'm just mad.

I have a selfish father.

I asked around.

He sold the tennis club

for no reason at all.

All he cares about

is his career.

Can you blame him though?

He needs to feed you.

If you're not financially independent,

you lose your grounds for argument.

You were born

with a silver spoon in your mouth.

So you find

minor inconveniences unbearable.

I was born to a modest family.

Every day I wake up,

it's a 80-20.

80% of the time, the day sucks.

20% of the time, it's a good day.

If it's a bad day, I suck it up.

If it's a good day, I enjoy it.

I don't buy it.

You have fallen out with your fake boyfriend.

So you're here to run away from reality.

But it's not a bad thing per se.

Come.

Cheers.

You're one step closer

to seeing through the world.

Come.

That reminds me.

I should do something about it.

(No more couple stream. This account will cease getting updates.)

Wow.

You're very determined.

You have done it.

Now I have to teach my dad a lesson too.

I hope we can come to an agreement today.

Will you sign this divorce agreement or not?

I don't get it.

Why do you want a divorce?

I want to stop pretending.

You say all women want a man

who can work and look after a family.

It's almost impossible to find one.

But you did it.

Or at least, you act like one.

Unfortunately, my acting skill

is not as good as yours.

So let's call it quits.

I don't want

to spend the rest of my life

in this pretense.

I agree.

Dad.

You always say

that I give up easily.

I got an offer letter

but refused to study abroad.

I'm here to tell you why.

It was because I knew back then

that if I left home,

this family would collapse.

Do you think

I am an idiot

who knows nothing?

Mom was on anti-depressants.

I know that.

I thought by staying here,

I could keep this family together.

Apparently, I just wasted

several years of Miss Chen here.

Dad.

Sign it.

Mom has had enough with you.

(Divorce Agreement)

(Ancong Wig Shop) An, what's the matter?

(Ancong Wig Shop) You fought with Chuan again?

(Ancong Wig Shop)

(Ancong Wig Shop) I don't care about him.

Mr. An.

I ran away from home.

Can I crash at your place for a few days?

What happened?

She said

that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

So I have got to suffer a bit to balance things up.

She also said

without financial independence,

you lost your grounds for argument.

So I get it now.

I will start training very hard tomorrow.

I'll prove it to her on the tennis court.

And you.

Are you quitting for real?

We drank that day for nothing then.

Liang You'an coddled that prick for nothing.

Honestly, what happened after drinking?

How did you two argue?

Stop scratching your head.

Answer me.

Sleep on the couch.

Well...

The tournament is around the corner.

You'll be the captain.

I won't go.

Wait.

Why me?

You're the captain.

How can you ditch

such an important tournament?

You skipped all the recent training as well.

Do you know?

Liang You'an

has been working tirelessly.

She keeps looking for funding.

For practice venues.

All so that we can train

before the tournament.

Have you eaten?

I'll cook something for you.

Come.

Stop dodging

my question now.

Sit.

Think about it.

Even though the points

will all go to Pegasus,

the victory is still ours.

This is your first serious tournament

after you made the switch from badminton to tennis.

Are you going to give up like that?

I have been playing tennis for years.

Before Liang You'an came,

I had never thought

that I would ever bring any result.

But look at us now.

Even Chen Zhe wants to practice seriously now

and get the gold medal.

Don't take our fighting spirit for granted.

Why drop out?

Look.

You don't know what happened

between us.

I...

I don't know who crossed who first.

And frankly, I don't care.

But Song Sanchuan,

if you give up on a tournament

because you are in a bad mood,

then don't blame anyone when we all look down on you.

I have made up my mind.

In this tournament,

I plan to get a gold medal in Group B.

At your level,

you can strive to get a medal

in lower brackets.

We trained so hard

for this day.

Think about it.

Go to sleep.

I'm talking to you.

Do you hear me?

Jiaojiao.

Mr. An.

Have a good rest here.

Are you hungry?

No.

Let me cook you a bowl of noodles.

I...

Is this family

hard of hearing?

Or is there a problem with my enunciation?

One, two, three.

Did I slur?

(Ancong Wig Shop)

Wake up.

It's late.

Coach Yan said

that today, we would do some sprinting practice.

Stop bothering me.

I'm sleeping.

Hurry up.

There is no practice venue in the city.

We have to take the bus to the outskirt.

Don't just sit there.

Stop bothering me.

I said, I'm sleeping.

Rot in there.

Here.

This is the place.

Ms. Liang.

It's such a secluded place.

How did you find it?

The tennis courts in the city

are always booked.

The tournament is about to begin

so I try to stick to our training schedule.

Bear with me, guys.

And all the best.

Okay.

This is tough.

Where is Sanchuan?

He's skipping again?

He won't listen to me.

What is wrong with him?

Is he forfeiting the match then?

Get changed now.

Then do ten laps around the tennis court.

Why are you standing here?

Where is Jiaojiao?

He isn't awake?

Have you looked at the time?

He already left.

I...

He is absurd.

He has never been this eager to train before.

He didn't even tell me.

Oops. Sorry.

Sorry.

Watch what you are watering.

My hand slipped.

Where are you going?

You want to know where we practice?

Tell me now.

Will you come with me or not?

No! No!

I already said no.

Stop asking.

I shouldn't have asked you, Song Sanchuan.

Just let me win for once.

Oh my gosh.

Enticed?

You can still make it if you run now.

No, you.

You go.
