[Once and forever]

[Episode 7]

How many can you sell in one day?

As long as the city inspectors don't come,

over 100 per day.

Not bad.

City inspectors are here!

Right, brother?

Your pancake.

The inspectors are here.

[Mixed-Grain Pancake]

Here's your pancake.

Boss, give me a hand.

The city inspectors are here!

Excuse us. Sorry!

We're closed today!

Closed.

Hurry up.

Boss!

City inspectors!

Over there.

Almost there.

Over there! Let's go!

Long.

Do you remember

what I told you back then?

"No matter what you do,

you have to follow the right path."

You do business without a license.

It's not a long-term plan.

No, Boss.

All I have

is this pancake cart.

How can I apply for a license for it?

Come here.

We need to find a place and open a shop.

Will it work?

With me here,

we can do anything.

Fine.

[Planning]

Pancake cart.

Keep your voice down. I beg you.

You're still asking me for money.

That's called investment.

For the sake of

your doing something serious,

I can

give you my support.

I knew it.

When it comes to the critical moment,

we are on the same side.

What about the interest?

You want interest?

Of course.

I charge ten percent outside.

You're my family.

I'll give you five percent.

Are you a loan shark?

Is there a sister

who will rip off her own brother?

Is five percent high?

Did our mom raise you

in a gilded cage?

Besides,

is there a brother

who robs his sister's boyfriend?

Where are Yihui's watch,

phone,

and wallet?

Don't think I don't know.

What are you two doing there?

Hurry up.

What are you mumbling about?

It's been so long.

It's time.

We might miss our flight.

Coming.

No, come back.

Can you give me a discount?

You...

Dad, you don't have to see us off.

We can go by ourselves.

No way.

You have no sense at all.

Help your sister carry her suitcase!

Yes, I'm going to.

Put the money safely in your pocket.

Call us

as soon as you get there.

Okay.

Be careful with that fried bean sauce.

Don't spill it in your suitcase.

Don't worry.

How come you only give her money,

and I only get the fried bean sauce?

How could you say that?

We would spend that money abroad

together,

right, Dad?

That's right.

What right? It's really not.

Here, give me a hug.

Grandma.

I secretly put

2,000 yuan

in your black jacket.

Don't tell your sister.

Grandma loves me the most.

Chuan, pay attention to your pocket.

[No. 2 Student Canteen]

You want to sell pancakes?

Start a business.

I'm starting a business, okay?

Are you going to drop out of school?

Bill Gates

didn't finish college either.

But he went to

Harvard.

You...

I...

What's wrong with me?

Society is my university.

You don't know, Qiaoqiao.

When I came home during the Spring Festival

and saw my grandma,

she couldn't even walk properly.

I'm in Beijing,

but I can't go back to see her.

I feel very sad.

So

I don't think I can keep lying to them

for four years.

I have to learn to support myself.

I have to make something.

Do you have money?

You can't open a pancake stall

with your words.

Don't worry.

I already have the start-up fund.

I'll take care of the rest.

Coming.

Here, try it.

Okay.

Be careful. It's hot.

This one.

Yes.

Mustard squid.

Please have a taste.

This is so delicious.

Please raise your board.

Stinky tofu and pork head meat.

This one is delicious!

Isn't it?

Yes!

Please raise your board.

Pork chop with salad sauce.

Please have a taste.

Taste so good.

Please raise your board!

Very good.

Sesame paste and chocolate.

How can it taste good?

It's too sweet.

No, no, no.

I think it's good.

All right.

Today,

our special pancake research

is over.

I only have one question.

Are our pancakes

good enough to sell

at your school canteen?

You'll crush them.

The stupid pancakes at our school

taste worse than the ones next door.

That's good.

Since you have approved

our products

and

think so highly of our business,

well,

I sincerely invite you

to invest

and become our original shareholders.

It won't cost you much.

One thousand is enough,

and you'll have five percent of the shares.

The stinky tofu smell

also mixed with the stench of money.

Too much? It's fine.

One thousand is too much.

Then 500. 500.

But my monthly living expenses

are only 500 yuan.

How about this?

When you open a window in our canteen,

I'll come to work for you.

You don't have to pay me.

As long as you cover my food.

This is called investing in my performance.

I'm not interested.

The 300 yuan is all I have.

The New Year's Money your grandma gave me

was taken away by my mom.

Let's go.

Come in.

What are you doing?

You'll know when you come in.

Come in.

See?

This is the window.

I can definitely take it.

Why do you have to

open it at the school?

You have to raise the deposit.

I...

There're no city inspectors at the school.

Besides,

you want me

to go out with Long

and open his food cart every day?

I want to be closer to you.

I never brought myself

to tell the truth to her.

Lights out at 11 p.m. in the dormitory.

I don't have time during the day.

I can only come to your place.

If you stick them with your hands,

when will you

finish it?

Before March 14,

I have to give it to Qianxi.

Her birthday?

No.

White Valentine's Day.

Does Valentine's Day have colors?

Yeah.

I didn't get it at first.

Later, I searched online.

On February 14,

girls send chocolate

to the boys they like.

On March 14,

the boys have to send them roses in return.

Xiaochuan.

My pancake stall

is finally going to be settled.

Wang Ying.

What does Yang Cheng

like?

White Valentine's Day

is coming.

I want to give him a gift.

He seems to have his eye

on a Panasonic cell phone.

That one with the camera.

The phone can take photos?

Even if you sell Xie Qiao,

that money won't be enough to buy a Panasonic.

Gift.

As long as you can make them feel your heart.

I've made a deal with Xiaochuan.

We can't buy the gift.

We can only make it ourselves.

Qianxi, you’re so kind.

You know He Xiaozhou is not rich,

so you used this method to help him out.

Where can you find

such a good girl,

right?

Thank God, He Xiaozhou

truly likes you.

[TOEFL Reading Practice]

Otherwise, such a good girl like you

would have a loss.

What do you mean?

It sounds like

my Brother Xiaochuan

doesn't deserve Qianxi.

Your Brother Xiaochuan is good,

but with our Qianxi’s condition,

she can definitely do better.

Is there anyone better than

Xiaochuan?

Look at him.

He is handsome, right?

He's smart and polite.

And he's gentle, kind,

honest, and filial...

But have no money.

How low are you?

How childish are you?

All right.

The super nice girl

and a super fan of Xiaochuan.

Let me give you an idea.

knit a scarf for Yang Cheng.

0.6.

Return to zero. One.

Return to zero. 0.8.

[Hualou Flower Shop]

Look here.

This is not a scarf.

You have knitted

a turtleneck for him.

There are knits,

Brioche stitches, and Thread stitches.

Qianxi even made me dizzy with those words.

I think,

according to your weaving method,

you may not be able to give it to him

on Valentine's Day next year.

Go to hell.

There're so many flowers.

Can you sell them all?

Of course.

Guess

how much is this?

How much?

0.8 yuan.

That cheap?

Yes.

I specifically went to the flower greenhouse

and bought them from the farmers.

Tomorrow,

a rose worth 0.8 yuan

will transform into

a rose worth 20 yuan.

If there're some left at night,

I'll sell them at a 50% discount,

10 yuan for one.

I'll make a fortune anyway.

Not bad!

Your pancake stall hasn't opened yet,

and you already sound like a profiteer.

What do you think?

Sell flowers with me tomorrow.

I'll give you a share.

OK.

Here.

I'll take you to a French restaurant tomorrow.

Maybe I can't.

Yang?

You two are in each other's pockets.

It's so pretty.

When did you make it?

It must take you a lot of time.

I went to Qin Chuan's place

for five nights and made it.

Thank you.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Xiaozhou,

I really like

the painting you gave me.

Those who give roses...

You can open your eyes now.

Are too tacky...

I know

that you're looking out for me.

You're afraid I'll spend more money.

But I searched for it online.

On White Valentine's Day,

boys should give roses

to girls.

Those must be expensive.

No.

I bought them from Chuan.

He only charged me the cost.

I can't afford more.

Here.

There are 11 roses in total.

He said that 11 roses mean

I love you forever.

I love tacky.

Valentine's Day special!

Valentine's Day special!

Fresh roses, 20 yuan per rose.

20 yuan per rose!

One rose means you are my only one.

Two roses

mean there're only you and me in the world.

Come, look over here.

Look over here!

-Watch out. -Thank you.

Three means I love you.

20 yuan per rose. 20 yuan per rose.

Four.

Four...

I wish you happiness. Take it.

Four roses mean vows.

Five roses mean no regrets.

Six means you'll be together forever.

Seven means secretly crush.

Secretly crush!

-Yes! -Look at those fresh roses!

Do you want some roses?

20 yuan!

Bon soir.

Bon soir.

How much for one rose?

I'll take one.

I want one too.

Buy me one.

It's too expensive.

I don't care. I want roses too.

How much?

I want one too.

Buy me one.

Don't jump the queue.

One rose is good, and so are five.

The more roses you send, the longer your love will last.

Thank you.

Do you like them?

I've never received

roses before.

Qin Chuan said

one rose

can be sold for 20 yuan today.

You bought me so many.

And they're blue.

How much did they cost you?

What?

You want to resell it?

No.

Don't you say you have a gift for me?

You forgot to bring it?

I did.

I wanted to knit one for you,

but the result is really bad.

It was too late.

So I bought this one for you.

It's from the Baleno.

The salesman said it was a new arrival.

The spelling...

I embroidered them.

I actually have an English name.

I forgot to ask you before.

I know it doesn't look good.

It's okay. You don't have to wear it.

It really takes courage

to wear it on the street.

But thank you.

I've never received

such a special gift.

You two are doing well.

I've earned enough shares.

Then I'll buy

the last one for you.

Sorry.

You're late.

Someone booked it.

Saving it for Xie Qiao?

How did you guess it?

Does it still need to be guessed?

Qin Chuan.

Oh my god! You guys are amazing!

Only one left. You sold them all!

There wasn't even one left.

This one?

Boss especially...

I asked them to save this one for me.

When do you

like this?

You can order flowers for her,

and I can't buy some?

But you have no one to give it to.

I'll give it to my pet.

Wang Ying!

Thank you!

My kindness to you pays off.

You can use my hot water today.

No.

I'll fetch hot water for you

this week!

It's just for me?

Did you wash your hands?

Not yet.

Then one meter away.

The flower is so beautiful.

This is not a scarf.

You knitted a turtleneck

for him.

What do you think?

Sell flowers with me tomorrow.

Maybe I can't.

Yang.

What?

Director Zhang,

you told me

I only needed to pay the deposit.

Yes,

but now,

there's another one who wants it too.

They have more experience than you.

No, Director Zhang.

My brother here.

His family has been selling pancakes

for three generations.

In terms of experience,

no one can beat him.

That's true.

But they

got their license earlier than you.

Besides,

the school should put

food safety first.

We have to consider it comprehensively.

You've been trying our pancakes for so long.

Comprehensively,

no one is better than us.

Qin, you...

I won't eat your food for free.

I'm doing this for inspection.

No.

How much longer do you need to inspect?

I'll approve it

if you pay a year's rent ahead.

What are we having for dinner?

I've had my fill of classes.

Qiaoqiao.

When will Qin Chuan

open his Pancake Shop?

My card is almost out of money this month.

Can I have a friend discount?

Don't mention it. I'm so worried.

The logistics department has been delaying his approval.

Why?

They said he was inexperienced

and that he must pay the rent for a whole year in advance.

How much experience does it take to sell pancakes?

Isn't tasting good enough?

So funny.

Hello, Uncle.

Are you busy?

Can you do me a little favor?

Wait a minute.

Here.

Thank you.

Come on.

Have some pancakes.

I don't like pancakes.

How about this?

Yogurt.

Here.

No, your hand...

I, I washed my hands.

Wang Ying.

From now on,

you are my partner.

When we make money,

I'll give you bonuses.

It's not that much money.

Why do I need your dividends?

You'd better save that little money

for your rent.

Well,

but you help me

get the window in the canteen.

Yes.

Wang Ying.

What does your uncle do?

He's so amazing.

My dad is usually busy.

So

if we need anything,

we will just come to my uncle.

That bit of money is nothing.

Amazing.

I don't care who your uncle is.

I only know you.

Anyway,

thank you so much this time.

Don't worry.

You'll always

have a share

in our pancake stall.

And don't

underestimate our little stall.

Grandpa Kentucky

started his business

by making fried chicken.

At least

Harland Sanders opened a restaurant back then.

You open a window in a canteen.

Harry... what?

Harland Sanders.

Who is this Sanders?

Forget it.

Fine.

[No. 2 Student Canteen]

Special pancakes. Buy two and get one free.

Come on.

Quick, it's at window 15.

You want

pork head meat with stinky tofu,

right?

Yes.

Okay.

You just said no stinky tofu

and two eggs, right?

Yes.

Okay.

Window 15.

Long, five more pancakes.

Okay, no problem.

Qiaoqiao, water, water.

No, my hands are full. I'm busy.

Come on, swipe your card.

Thank you.

The pancake stall

at window 15

is open today.

Why did you come

to such a boring thing too?

Dragged here by your girlfriend.

Here you are.

Have some pancakes.

Xie Qiao.

OK.

You two go find a table.

I'll come to you later after I hand these out.

One for you.

[Mixed-Grain Pancake]

I heard you helped Qin Chuan

by investing in him.

Slow down.

Why are you meddling in this nonsense?

I think it's hard

for him.

He's kind of like me.

What do you mean?

Just take it as

I want to do some small business for fun.

This business is too small.

It is.

How is it?

Did we make a profit?

The net profit for the first month

was 3,070 yuan.

Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner.

Dong Lai Shun, let's go!

Come on.

We have so many people.

One meal, and you will be broke again.

I just checked the cost,

and there is room to squeeze costs.

You obviously bought more ingredients this month.

Adjust it next month,

and the profit will be higher.

Xiaochuan,

aren't you a biology student?

Why do you even know about accounting?

I have a double minor in financial management

with Qianxi.

You two are so scary.

No matter what,

I have to

treat you two to a meal today.

From now on,

I, Qin Chuan, can make money!

[Mixed-Grain Pancake]

Here's your pancake.

Thank you.

Take care.

I want an original flavor.

No need.

Long.

An original flavor for Qiaoqiao.

OK.

Add a pork chop.

Have a pork chop.

What do you want?

Whatever.

I won't eat it anyway.

Where's the canteen management office?

What?

I want to file a complaint.

You won't eat it anyway.

Don't do that.

Where's your pancake?

Please.

I don't have you persistent

to have pancakes every day.

You know what?

The pancake with stinky tofu and pork head meat

is really addictive.

Fine.

You can have mine too.

Thank you.

Why is there

only stinky tofu in it

and no pork head meat?

I've been shortchanged

by some unscrupulous businessmen.

Let me take you out to eat.

I don't want to.

I have no appetite.

You two...

Wang Ying is a shareholder after all.

At least

we should support her business.

I'll buy 50 pancakes then.

Forget it.

There are so many students waiting.

If you bought 50,

it would not support the business

but cause trouble.

Chuanchuan.

Am I sick from tiredness?

Why am I hearing things?

Chuanchuan.

Chuanchuan!

Chuanchuan!

Chuanchuan!

Chuanchuan!

Chuanchuan!

Why are you here?

It's spring vacation.

I come back to visit my relatives.

When do you have relatives here?

You.

Sit still.

You told me in the email

that you were here.

I didn't want you to miss me too much,

so I came to you.

No.

Don't we make a deal

that no matter where we are,

we can't lose touch with each other?

If I knew you were coming,

I wouldn't have told you

where I was.

Can you sit still?

Face forward.

Be a grown-up.

Stop clinging to me.

You're Xie Qiao, right?

Me?

I'm not.

You were not the one

on the video call?

Yes.

But I'm not Xie Qiao.

You got it wrong.

I'm Xie Qiao.

Chuanchuan.

You told me

that you were determined to come back to see your childhood friend.

I thought

you had a good future here.

In the end,

you're just a cook here.

Haha.

It's still better than

being badgered by others for no reason.

Someone just has

a roughneck.

Yes.

Unlike someone who only knows how to be coquettish.

Someone

should have some self-awareness

and look into the mirror more

to realize that

they don't have the face to be coquettish.

Then someone

knows when to stop.

Otherwise, it's useless,

even if they fake suicide 100 times.

Xie Qiao!

What, Chen Baojia!

Wang Ying?

What's wrong?

Wang Ying!

Wang Ying!

Wang Ying, are you alright?

What's wrong?

Wang Ying!

My stomach hurts.

Wang Ying!

Are you alright?

Wang Ying, are you alright?

Are you alright?

Hang in there.

We're almost there.

Don't scare me.

Hang in there.

Be careful.

Sir,

why did you stop?

Didn't I tell you

to follow that car?

Jesus.

They ran the yellow light.

It's already red. I can't keep up.

I dare not run a red light.

Right, traffic safety is the most important.

No.

It's none of your business.

Why must you follow?

I came back just to see you.

I'm so unfamiliar with the place.

Where else do you want me to go?

[Emergency Internal Medicine Department]

Qiaoqiao!

How is she, Qiaoqiao?

What the hell is your pancake?

Is it clean?

Did you give Wang Ying

food poisoning?

Who are you calling dirty?

Don't pick a fight!

If anything happens to Wang Ying,

just wait to be shut down!

Enough, stop arguing!

Wang Ying didn't touch the pancake at all.

Besides,

I eat it every day, and I'm fine.

Qin Chuan is not like that.

Who are you?

Why are you so mean to my Chuanchuan?

He's my boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

All right, stop causing trouble here.

Doctor, how is she?

Does she really have food poisoning?

What food poisoning?

It's acute appendicitis.

Go get the procedure done.

She needs to be operated on right away.

It's still a little warm.

I've been feeling a little sick for the past couple of days.

I thought I had diarrhea.

I didn't expect to be under the knife.

I think you just love to mess around.

Why did you

mess around with someone like Qin Chuan?

I'm begging you.

My mom has been nagging me for most of the day.

She just left, and you start again.

If I didn't come,

would your mom leave without worry?

I'm sorry

for keeping you from screwing around.

What screwing around?

Take a nap.

I'm here with you.

[Ren Siyu]

Hello.

Are you coming back tonight?

I'm not going home tonight.

My friend is sick.

I want to go there and play Warcraft.

Don't you have the key?

I'll go then.

Okay, I got it.

All of you

just stay here and don't come home?

The dorm is locked.

Chuanchuan, let's go.

No way.

Let the two girls

guard here?

Is he a little girl?

Hey,

do you know how to communicate or not?

I'm best at chatting.

Chuanchuan knows.

Chen Baojia,

why are you still here?

To accompany Chuanchuan, of course.

I don't need you.

I didn't ask you to stay here with me.

When she wakes up tomorrow,

I'll go back to school to help Wang Ying

pack up her things.

What else do we need

to visit patients?

Flowers!

Flowers?

Comrade Chen Baojia,

it's not easy for you to come...

It's not easy for you to come back here.

Why don't you go and enjoy

this great country

and feel

the cultural atmosphere in the capital?

Why do you

always follow me?

Then you come with me.

I don't have time.

Then I'll stay with you.

We can develop a relationship

in your hometown.

Besides,

you and Xie Qiao didn't work out.

Does it mean that I still have a chance?

Don't always talk nonsense

in front of others.

She has a boyfriend now.

We...

We're just childhood friends.

That's great of you to think so.

How is she?

These're things that Qianxi

packed up for you.

I don't need anything here.

I see.

How many people have come to visit you?

So much food.

I haven't told anyone yet.

If they all knew,

the whole floor wouldn't be enough.

You're indeed a lady.

Don't sit on my bed

in your dirty pants.

OK.

How you feeling, Wang Ying?

It's a single room!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The appendicitis is not serious.

Hello.

You are Yang Cheng, right?

I didn't expect

you to be Xie Qiao's boyfriend.

You and Qin Chuan are a good match.

Right?

Look.

He said so.

Can you stop talking nonsense?

How many times have I told you?

We're not...

We're not childhood friends.

I'm going to be his girlfriend.

Why don't you ask Qin Chuan

if he has a girlfriend or not?

Does he have a girlfriend?

Who?

Me.

Me.

Where does that come from?

When did Wang Ying

become Qin Chuan's girlfriend?

Does she know what a girlfriend is?

She has acute appendicitis.

She hasn't recovered from the anesthetic, right?

How could Wang Ying

be with Qin Chuan?

Does he deserve her?

What does Wang Ying's family do?

Who the hell is Qin Chuan?

It’s like

day and night.

If Wang Ying's family

knew about this,

they would transfer her away from this school immediately.

That serious?

Of course.

It's fine if they were just fooling around.

but if they're serious,

her family won't agree to it.

Wang Ying always asked me

why I couldn't take my relationship seriously.

That's because

I can't decide even if I'm serious.

Qiaoqiao,

go to the photocopy shop

to copy a note with me, okay?

I wasn't talking about you and me.

I owe you

another favor this time.

How about

I give you more shares?

Thank you for helping me out.

I just think she's noisy.

Are you going to rest?

I'll leave if there's nothing else.

What?

Are you that afraid of being my boyfriend?

No, you...

Aren't you just joking?

Did I say it was a joke?

Don't worry.

I don't like you,

and I know who you like.

Because you like her,

you came back to China regardless of anything.

You want to see her,

so you open a window in her school's canteen.

When she has a boyfriend,

you know you care about it the most,

but you can only pretend

to be her good friend.

But no good friend

can do so much.

At this rate,

you will be very tired,

and it'll be awkward for her too.

But it's different

when you're seeing someone.

At least there is a shield.

And I'm her roommate.

Even if you're

by her side all the time,

it's justifiable.

Isn't that good?

Yes, it is.

But why are you willing

to help me like that?

This...

This is not fair

to you.

I'm not just helping you.

I just

feel sorry for people

who fall in love with their best friends.

What?

You won't understand.

Just think of it

as a business deal with me.

The deal is that

I'll help you in a non-existent relationship.

Deal?

Deal.

[Mixed-Grain Pancake]

Here.

I really don't want to eat pancakes.

No, try it.

I asked Long to make this especially for you.

Black rice flour and dates.

Especially for you.

Your belly

is just under the knife.

You should at least replenish your energy,

right?

My mom asked the driver

to send me ginseng chicken soup every day.

Thank you, though.

Try it.

There are actually dates inside. Look.

What exactly

does Wang Ying's family do?

I can't tell you.

If you have ulterior motives,

I'll be too guilty.

You don't have to target me now.

Anyway,

we are both defeated by her.

If you were my opponent,

I would still have a little chance of winning.

What are you talking about?

What opponent? A defeated opponent?

Qin Chuan and I are just good friends.

Have you heard that

one would fly back to China

just because his good friend called?

Anyway,

let's say

that you two are best friends.

It's also you two

who label yourselves.

You're good friends,

so you can't be together.

It's so annoying.

I really

lost badly this time.

I'm giving up.

But if

I lost to you,

I wouldn't be able to accept it.

You only have

an A cup.

What's wrong?

I think you're really underdeveloped.

Wang Ying is not that well either.

But she's a princess.

I've worked hard

to get where I am.

But she was born with it.

Qin Chuan

is not the kind of person

to be with Wang Ying just because she's rich.

At this point,

what's the point of saying this?

I've decided to go back to Canada.

In Toronto,

there are

many excellent men.

Besides,

I should

be prettier than Wang Ying.

Haha.

[Teaching Building]

Chuanchuan.

Goodbye.

I'll show you around the next time you come back.

In my opinion,

you should be taught more

about patriotism.

Feel it more,

and you'll know

blood is thicker than water.

I'll accompany you then.

To be honest,

a Hong Kong guy

is pursuing me with all his might.

You'll regret it

once I come back.

Then, I wish you a hundred years of happiness

and eternal love.

To be honest,

you should be more careful.

Don't act like a fool

when you're in love

and don't think about anything.

I’m leaving.

Qin Chuan.

From now on,

come on.

Chen Baojia.

You too.
