(Alarm: Reminder Me Later)

I haven't exercised in a long time.

=Episode 8= (I Love This Steady Happiness)

Here's the meal.

Looking for an apartment is exhausting.

They are too expensive.

Don't you use a broker?

No. It costs money.

I'm starting a business, so I need to save money.

Doing business is really tough.

My great ambitions are dashed in a flash.

Don't you find a suitable one?

I thought the flower shop was okay.

Just a bit far from you.

We are talking about business here.

Let's make it big.

You two can meet every day.

I'm thinking about my dad.

If I get busy, I won't have time for him.

Then he can come to me every day.

You're just too tied up.

Lin Tuo, your place here is pretty nice.

Any other ones for rent?

I could rent one in this community.

That way, we could live closer.

So I could come have a meal.

Then you'll have to pay me.

Don't be that petty.

The landlord has three apartments in this community. I can ask him.

Three? What does he do?

It must be nice to be rich.

Does he still need a girlfriend?

He's already married, and his child can even play online games.

Okay, tell me if he gets divorced then.

I think this one is pretty nice.

No way, it's not even as nice as Lin Tuo's place.

Guangpu.

Change your shoes.

What for?

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

What's wrong? You bring luggage.

You scared me.

Running away from home.

Come on. You got kicked out by your dad, right?

Didn't you go apologize to your dad?

It's useless. They don't buy that.

I was just about to start,

but he scolded me hard,

and even said to have me work as a security guard at his factory.

Security guard?

It's too much! Right?

What's wrong?

A red slap mark.

You are not his biological child.

I suppose so.

It's not the first time.

Why do you still go against him?

I graduated from college, comes from a wealthy family, and am quite handsome.

I'm quite a figure among the local youths.

If I become a security guard, how do I go to KTV?

How do I book a booth at the nightclub?

How do I communicate with my girls?

It's not about being a security guard.

My dad just wants to watch me every day.

He said I squandered the money.

He said I had no shame.

I was about to discuss with him,

and he slapped me hard in the face.

Well, I think that's not hard enough.

Your dad should have slapped you like this.

Hey, don't you feel sorry for me?

I'm 22 years old and still getting slapped.

That's intentional injury.

I'm being filial that I don't call the police.

Your dad is so unlucky

to have you.

It's my fault again?

I never steal, rob, or have any bad habits.

I'm just a bit lazy, that's all.

He raised me this way. It's not my fault.

So what?

He told me I couldn't live without him.

I just don't believe it.

When I broke up with a girl before, at least I threw up...

I threw up for at least a week, and I survived.

I could live without anyone.

I'll show them I can make it.

I'll show them I can make money and be independent.

Don't go home on your knees when you're done spending your money.

Of course.

Alright then.

So you're bringing your luggage to my place to stay?

What else? Or I'll stay in a hotel?

I've just become independent, so I don't have much money.

Staying at a hotel costs much.

There's only one bed at my place.

Then you just make do.

You can sleep on the sofa.

Wait.

I've helped you so much before. You have to repay me somehow.

I won't stay long.

I'll look for a place in this community.

He Xindi is going to rent a place too. You two can share the lease.

No. It is improper for a man and woman to live together.

Like I want to live with you.

I'm afraid you'll set me up in the night.

Back then, I assured my parents

that I'd be a monk if I couldn't make 50,000 yuan in three months.

I told my dad exactly the same thing

when I came to Chongqing for college.

My parents have long been divorced.

My dad has remarried twice, and it gets worse every time.

His current wife even has a son,

who's two years older than me.

My dad treats him like his own son,

and doesn't care about me.

I don't care if he cares about me.

I am determined

to make big money on my own.

I'll make the three of them regret it.

Cool! Come on.

Cheers!

I'm indeed a bit happier than you.

My parents still love me, but they look down on me.

So I need to prove myself.

We must prove ourselves.

Right.

We're the ones who can do the big things.

Right.

Tell me, how do you want to make money?

I make quick money. I'll do financial management.

No, that won't work.

Tell me how much you've lost.

Listen to me. Join me in livestreaming.

Just ask Que.

Que, do I make money via livestreaming?

No.

Did you hear that? Que said no problem.

She said so?

She said so.

Que, do I make money via livestreaming?

- No. - No.

Look, they said it's no problem.

Keep your voice down. The neighbor has a bad temper.

I've already made money.

Otherwise, could I rent a house here?

About the livestreaming,

even though it's tough, it has a promising future.

Let me tell you, just follow me.

You and I make 100,000 in three months.

Really?

Really.

I have some private savings. We'll do it together.

Sure. May our cooperation succeed.

Business is booming.

Cheers!

Come on.

It's so late now!

It's time for sleep.

Bro, let's have a drink together. Cheers!

Are you guys crazy?

Don't drag me.

Sorry, sorry.

Watch my livestreaming.

Don't drag me.

Watch my livestreaming, come on.

Whatever you like, I'll give you a discount.

Let's go.

Here.

Thank you.

You can't start thinking about losing money.

Let's rent a small shop first.

Isn't this place pretty good?

And business is booming.

Your cake and coffee are profitable.

Have confidence in yourself.

I certainly have confidence.

Then you are worried about money.

You have the skills and the confidence,

fond of this thing,

and you are not short on money.

So you just need a shop, right?

Then I'll turn pressure into motivation.

I can surely find one.

I'll accompany you.

Oh, Que, go home with me this weekend and see my parents.

I told my mom I am a regular worker.

This weekend? Just two days left.

So sudden?

Is that so? We've been together for such a long time.

And I've also met your dad.

Now I have a stable job and a rented house.

It's time for my parents to meet who I'm marrying.

But I'm not stabilized yet.

I work all part time.

If your parents ask me what I do,

I'll be looked down upon.

You're about to be the boss.

How could they look down upon you?

My parents are traditional, but they are nice. Don't worry.

Would they fight when they get up?

Do they get up?

No.

Oh my!

Guangpu, y-you're awake.

What are you doing sitting there?

Did you forget what you did last night?

No way. I'm fully dressed.

I knew you would set me up in the night.

What are you thinking? Wake up.

What do you mean? Don't you admit it?

What?

(Livestreaming Cooperation Agreement)

(Livestreaming Cooperation Agreement)

(Chen Guangpu invests in 500,000 yuan)

(Withdrawal Conditions)

(Party A's signature: He Xindi, Party B's signature: Chen Guangpu)

W-When did I sign it?

I-I don't remember it at all.

You drank too much,

insisting on doing livestreaming with me.

Did you trick me into signing it?

Come on.

Last night, you almost jumped down.

I was the one who stopped you.

Exactly! That proves I was too drunk,

and I had no sense, so this doesn't count.

But you signed the agreement.

What legal effect does it have?

If I said to marry you,

would I have to marry you the next day?

Don't worry. I would never marry you.

But don't try to run from this.

What? Drinking can lead to mistakes.

500,000? I don't have 500,000.

Pay in installments.

There's no evidence now.

I knew it, you little mischief.

This contract comes in two copies.

(Livestreaming Cooperation Agreement) You just tore up your copy.

This one has the same legal effect.

I must quit drinking!

Take it away.

Lin Tuo.

The exhibition materials are ready.

Let's check them this afternoon.

Okay.

Oh, how many proposals have you prepared?

Four.

What's with your hand?

My hand seems weak, and I don't know why.

We've been working on computers for a long time.

It might be cervical spine pressure.

And you have to make drawings.

Try some calcium supplement.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Okay, I'll call you when we set off.

Cervical spine pressure.

What's wrong, Tuo? Why buying so much medicine?

Are you feeling unwell?

No. Maybe I've been drawing too much.

I can't exert any strength in my hand.

I might lack of calcium,

so I bought some calcium tablets.

You might as well go exercise.

Let's get a gym card.

I do want to exercise.

I haven't played soccer recently,

and my abs aren't even visible anymore.

Really? Let me check.

You want to check?

Come on, let's go inside to check.

Put me down.

What are you two doing? It's early now.

Go to your room. I'm here.

Wait, don't you even knock when you enter?

Why would I knock?

I have the passcode.

Change the passcode right now.

Dangerous statement, An Zhique.

I'm living with Lin Tuo now, not you.

I can change the passcode too.

So scary.

Scary, right?

How dare you!

I can change it now. I'll do it immediately.

Didn't you go for Xindi?

Don't mention her.

She is sick.

Listen, she said if I go back on my word,

she'd go to my parents and tell them I got her pregnant.

I wonder how she knows this trick.

An Zhique, control your bestie.

She's too wicked.

Aren't you two sharing the lease?

You can make money together.

I was forced to do it. I didn't want to.

It's all fate.

What? I don't want it at all.

This is a bad karma.

How's your shop going?

Why would I tell you?

I was forced to be a shareholder,

so I have a right to know what's going on with my investments.

Tell me the business plan and the return on investment.

At least give me a proposal.

Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go get it now.

You'd better be careful.

What am I supposed to be careful?

I'm still here.

I still want to check Linglong Alley,

thinking of finding a shop around here.

Sure. If you find it okay, just make your decision.

We've seen so many.

Okay, I can't jump anymore.

50 more.

More? You want to exercise. Why do I have to do it too?

Let's get fit together, in order to grow old together.

I'll count for you. You'd jump, four, five, six, seven, eight.

What time is it?

Why hasn't he arrived? Is it here?

It's him.

Is it?

I guess you two are here to see the apartment?

You're the landlord, right?

Yes. Sorry for being late as I had to drop my kid to school.

It's okay.

Don't mind the old buildings around here.

But my apartment is perfect.

Wait a moment. I'll lock the car.

Okay, no problem.

I don't think there are suitable places for a shop around here.

Just take a look. It won't cost us any.

Okay.

This way, please.

- Okay. - Okay.

(White tea)

Dad, what are these?

They probably don't need them.

I don't care if they need them, but we have to send these gifts.

You have to bring many for the first visit to his home,

or they'd think we are indecent.

Oh, Tuo has a grandpa, right?

Then we must be even more respectful.

Look, I prepared this for his grandpa.

This is a teapot I've collected.

I've cherished it.

Look, how's it?

But we haven't asked if they even drink tea.

If they don't, this can be served as a work of art.

Old people usually like this.

You don't understand.

Alright, pack it up.

Okay.

You're staying there the whole weekend?

I'll come back on Sunday.

Then give me Tuo's apartment address.

What do you want?

I want to give him a housewarming gift.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

This won't fit. Just carry it by hand.

I'll just carry it.

This one too.

Be careful.

Oh, I have something...

More?

Wait, there's more.

Is she always this late? Or is it just with me?

Just wait a while.

Coming.

Why are you bringing a luggage?

My dad prepared a bunch of stuff for your parents,

telling me to bring them all.

What are these?

There's something for Ye and your grandpa.

Chat in the car, or you'll miss the train.

Got it.

Thank you.

(Luzhou Station)

Come in.

Any pair is okay?

Change your shoes, here.

Thank you.

Mom.

Hello, Auntie.

Mom, this is Que.

Hello, Auntie. I'm An Zhique.

You can call me Que.

Lin Tuo has mentioned you.

This is what Que and her dad had prepared,

luggage of gifts.

Thank you for these.

Not at all.

How come you're here?

What? Am I not welcomed?

Rolled pancakes for you.

I don't like them.

Fine. Give them back to me.

I'm going to the hospital.

You'd go visit grandpa, and we'll eat dinner together.

Okay.

Ye, finish your meal and don't be late for class.

I'll pick you up.

Mom, I can pick him up.

My brother can pick me up.

Alright.

Where's dad?

When is he home on weekends?

How are you?

What can I say? As usual.

That's your room, right?

I'll take a look.

Who let you into my room?

You have so many books here.

If I had worked half as hard as you, I would have gone to Tsinghua.

You?

Who do you look down upon? I was pretty good at my studies,

and I got a high score.

Weren't you an art student?

Why are you working so hard?

You should check my room first. Come on.

Take a look at mine.

Your room shows you were not a good student.

I was not a bad student, either.

I just loved to draw and play soccer.

I used to make breakfast for soccer when I was a kid.

Did you paint all of these?

Yes, I lost many when moving.

Look at this. It's painted by my grandpa.

He paints so well.

Just like the ones in the gallery.

No wonder both you and Ye study art,

so it's in the gene.

We don't have any genes in my family.

Wait, we do have some.

I've inherited my dad's love for food.

It's kind of a talent.

Were you this pretty when you were a kid?

Thank you, but that is Ye.

He's quite pretty as a child.

How did he grow up to be like this?

You are so rude.

Are you going to school?

I'm off.

Wait.

For you. I've washed it. Take it.

This color is not my style.

Come on, just use it.

This color is not easy to lose.

I'm off.

Take care. We'll come pick you up.

Here, fruit.

Grandpa.

Thank you.

I bought them in the morning.

Do you smell that?

I bought a lamb leg. It's being stewed in the pot.

I love lamb the most.

I heard him mention it. Try my cooking.

Red wine braised lamb.

This is his secret recipe.

He cooked it for you.

I must treat my granddaughter-in-law well.

Grandpa, you've been busy since I arrived.

You might take a rest.

No. I'm so energetic.

I'm so glad you're here.

Grandpa, Que really likes your paintings.

Like traditional painting?

Yes. Your paintings are wonderful.

Just like the ones in the gallery.

Alright, I'll paint one for you. Let's go.

Okay.

(Lotus Painting)

(Xu Bangquan)

(Bangquan)

Not so good.

It's great. Grandpa, did you study this professionally?

No, I never had formal training.

My master was a street artist.

He'd paint and write calligraphy on the street for money.

And I learned from him with a worn-out brush.

Later, I became a carpenter.

Carpenters have to have some aesthetic sense

to carve dragons and paint phoenixes on the furniture.

If you paint well, it could sell for more money.

Then I quitted being a carpenter.

But I don't want to drop the brush.

Sometimes, I'd draw or write something as a hobby.

When the two of us have a child,

I'll let you

teach him traditional painting.

I'd love to.

Hurry up, while I can still paint,

give me a great-grandson.

Copy that.

Ye.

Ye, I bought you a hamburger.

Where's the cup?

In the bag.

Have you used it?

I put something inside for you.

Goji berry, lemon, and hawthorn, for refreshing your mind.

Does it taste good?

Haven't tried it.

Don't you drink water?

Did you buy a drink?

Drinking sweet stuff all the time isn't good for your brain.

Why are you babbling at this age?

Grandpa mentioned the chestnuts are good.

Let's go buy some for him.

I know.

Isn't your dad coming back for dinner?

I don't know.

Just know how to play games.

Wash your hand. Time for dinner.

Ye.

Dad, this is Que.

Hello uncle, my name is An Zhique.

Hello Auntie.

Hello.

Dinner's ready. Go wash your hands.

Okay, let's wash hands.

The soup is here.

Give it to me. I got it.

Okay.

Dad, you've made so many dishes.

The cooking fumes are not good for your lungs.

I have to show my granddaughter-in-law my cooking.

I'm not doing it every day.

Wash your hands.

Okay, wash hands.

Thank you, grandpa.

Now that you've become a regular, you can be a designer now?

I'm still an assistant.

But I'm ready to bid on the design project.

I've made a proposal.

Has it been approved?

Not yet, but I'll keep doing it.

Yours is a private company, right?

Yes, but it's quite big.

It has a shopping place and factories.

Private companies are not stable.

There are many variables in its development.

Whether a company develops well or not

is not about whether it's a state-owned company or a private company, right?

Some college graduates start their own businesses after graduation.

There are so many emerging industries,

so opportunities are everywhere.

Right, the internet is developing quite fast.

So, Que, what do you do now?

I plan to start my own business.

She wants to open a coffee shop and has found a place already.

Coffee shop?

Yes, I've been working part-time since high school.

I can make a lot of cakes and coffee.

Now I'm planning to open my own with my friend.

With your friend?

Kind of, she's a livestreaming host and we'll do it together.

What kind of host?

Selling products through livestreaming online.

Selling some skincare products,

food and drinks. Basically everything.

It's just like the TV shopping.

Yes.

TV shopping.

Yes, we get our stuff from the proper factories.

All items are carefully selected.

So, are you a livestreaming host or do you run a coffee shop?

I run a coffee shop, and my friend is a livestreaming host.

We can split the rent.

What's your major?

Internet big data analysis.

That's a good major.

Why don't you find a job that's right for your major?

I like coffee, so I want to give it a try.

Do your parents agree?

My dad is supportive.

And your mom?

She passed away early.

It's only me and my dad.

It's not easy for your dad

to raise you all by himself.

He is really amazing.

Her dad is a particularly nice.

What does he do?

He drives a taxi.

Hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold.

Don't just keep talking.

Don't leave tonight. Just stay at my place.

My house is big. Just keep me company.

Okay.

Thank you.

Dad, I'll get you some soup.

Okay.

She has lost her mom,

her dad drives a taxi,

and she doesn't have a decent job.

I wonder what Tuo is thinking.

Don't you know what girlfriend your son found?

Yes, but he didn't tell me anything about it.

It's the first time I've met her.

They don't fit to each other.

How could she possibly help his future development?

They are not marrying yet.

It'll be too late then.

He's already grown up. Do I have to tell him

what kind of girlfriend you should be looking for?

You're his mom. Why can't you tell him?

You can't expect me to say it.

He doesn't even listen to me.

Director Zhang's daughter is nice. Does he listen to me?

He insists on finding someone mismatched in social status.

Being together would just be mutually draining.

Is there a throne in our family to inherit

or do we have a fortune of billions?

What are you saying?

Finding someone nice is better than anything else.

She's the one who's with my brother, not you two.

You don't understand anything.

You two understand. Are you two doing well?

Don't butt in when adults are talking.

I wonder if your parents think I don't fit your family.

Not at all. Who said that?

Haven't you noticed?

No, my parents are just serious.

Don't worry.

I wonder if they agree to our marriage.

What? Do they want to break us up?

You watch too many TV dramas.

Haven't you noticed it?

Not at all, okay?

I was afraid I said the wrong thing.

Where's grandpa?

At his secret base.

Secret base?

I'll show you later.

Okay, it's pretty mysterious.

This is his secret base.

Why didn't I see it when I came in?

You didn't notice.

No.

Grandpa.

It's been a long time.

Today I'll make you a little gadget.

Grandpa, that's really cool.

This is what attracted me when I was young.

I always thought I'd grow up to be a great craftsman.

I've never seen you do it.

Then I'll show you today.

Come on.

Turn around.

Alright, off you go.

Que.

What do you think of your coffee shop

modeled after my carpentry yard?

It could work.

Right?

Tuo, if we turn the coffee shop into grandpa's carpentry yard,

with that handcrafted style,

and then put all this stuff on it. How cool is that?

Sounds special.

Interesting.

Interesting. I think it's doable.

Thank you.

Que.

(Que, Tuo)

This is yours.

And this is yours.

You two get along well together.

Come here often. This is also your home.

Definitely. Once my coffee shop is open, I'll come to pick you up

and let you try the cake I made and have some coffee I made.

Then I'll certainly come.

Just go.

Off we go.

Thank you, grandpa.

Goodbye, grandpa.

Go back, grandpa.

We are back.

My dad.

Y-Your dad...

You are back.

What?

I didn't do it. It's like this when I got back.

The toilet is even more outrageous. The toilet seat is like this too.

Be careful. It's thorny. Amazing.

What is this?

Can you understand it? I don't.

As soon as you open the door, an uncle is facing the door.

"You two are back."

(Chongqing Baihui Hospital, Outpatient Department)

There's no bone damage on the scan.

I think it's a mild sprain.

I've been having trouble with my right hand lately.

My fingers aren't very flexible and my wrists are a little sore.

My legs are occasionally a little stiff.

My leg stiffened and I fell down the stairs today.

How long have you been like this?

For a while.

I didn't care before,

thinking it might just be fatigue or calcium deficiency.

But falling down the stairs today doesn't feel normal to me.

Well, I suggest you get to visit Rheumatology.

Ask the doctor to check if it's rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatology?

Okay, thank you, doctor.

It's okay.

(Search related to Finger Stiffness)

(Search related to Stiffness and Inflexible Right Hand)

(Alert: Stiffness and Inflexible Hands and Feet Could Mean ALS)

Lin Tuo, is your face okay?

I'm fine. I just took a fall.

Why don't you go check in the hospital?

No need. I've been to this morning.

I just fell.

Alright, then be careful.

Lin Tuo, come to my office.

Coming.

(Riluzole, Edaravone, Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment)

(Other treatments, Prognosis) Impossible. I overwork lately.

(Most patients die within three to five years from respiratory paralysis or lung sensation.)

I've always been in good health.

I hardly ever catch a cold or fever.

I won't get this weird disease.

(Other Treatments, Prognosis)

No way.

The first one won't do.

How can someone live in such a small space?

It smells bad. It must have been left empty for a while.

The second one is nice.

Let's settle.

Let's settle then.

Go sign the contract.

Are you home?

What? Got into a fight? With whom?

Chen Guangpu said Lin Tuo's face is all bruised,

as if he fought someone.

A fight?

Que!

We're going back now.

Wait for me.

Let me see.

Your hand...

- Is your hand fine? - It's all good.

What about this one?

Wait, who did you get into a fight with?

What? Don't listen to Chen Guangpu.

You told me you were working overtime,

but you are at home. Are you lying?

You don't want me to know it, right?

I really was working overtime. I just got back.

Alright then.

Wait, you went to the hospital and you still say it's not serious.

(Outpatient Medical Record) Who did you fight with?

Just tell me

if it's a colleague or anyone. Tell me the name.

What? I told you I didn't fight.

When I went for work this morning,

I didn't want to wait for the elevator, so I took the stairs.

I was looking at my phone going down the stairs and I fell over.

Just the stairs at the entrance?

Yes, those stairs.

I just scratched my face and everything else is fine.

I went to the hospital and then I went to work.

I was afraid you'd worry, so I didn't tell you.

Why have you been falling so much lately?

You fell while you were playing soccer.

Don't you fall when playing soccer? You fall more than I do.

He said he's fine.

We don't have to worry. What about the house?

It's settled. Didn't I agree already?

Let's sign then. We can move in tomorrow.

Don't be that hurry.

You, dilly-dallying.

I...

Why all the dilly-dallying? Can't you be more efficient?

Let's go now. Hurry up.

We're going to sign for the house.

Alright.

Hurry up.

Be careful.

What do you think about grandpa's carpentry yard?

Make the coffee shop look like a carpentry yard?

Yes, there are so many themed shops now.

If we want to stand out, we have to do something different.

Grandpa's carpentry yard is so cool.
