[Love on a Shoestring]

[Episode 12]

Yuanchong, what do you want to tell me?

Qianqian.

I know you like me.

But...

I'm sorry.

You are a good girl.

I don't deserve you.

Why not?

You're so good and kind.

I'm not good enough.

It's all my problem.

I see.

It's okay.

I'll become bad.

You deserve me then.

Well. What are you doing?

I want to take a photo

and send it to the mailbox of the Environmental Protection Bureau.

I want to report this shop

and accuse it of having a dirty and bad environment.

I'll slander this shop.

Then it won't be able to continue.

Well.

Is this bad enough?

Bad.

This is too bad.

Yuanchong, stop her, okay?

It's not that I'm not good enough for you.

It's...

It's...

My mom doesn't allow us to be together.

Your mom?

Yes.

Hello?

Mrs. Li.

I'm Qianqian.

Yuanchong said you don't like me.

Is that true?

Hold on a second.

Your mom wants to talk to you.

How do you know my mom?

We often do group buying together.

Hello, it's me.

No.

This...

Well.

I'm sorry.

I made it up.

I got it.

I'll apologize to her.

My mom wants me to apologize to you.

I'm sorry.

She asked me to tell you

she doesn't hate you at all.

And she likes you very much.

Okay, I got it.

It's okay.

Actually,

I knew there was no future between us.

Future?

Yuanchong.

I don't care at all.

My motto

is to live in the moment.

I don't look forward to the future at all.

But my future is Jiali.

She is the only gift I've received

in my life's loyalty program.

Good.

Well said. You have guts.

This is a real man.

Yuanchong, stop her!

What do you want?

Come at me.

I just want to ask her a question.

Excuse me,

do you like Li Yuanchong?

I don't like him.

She said she doesn't like you.

That means I still have hope.

She doesn't like Li Yuanchong.

I like Li Yuanchong.

-She doesn't like Li Yuanchong. -She's so powerful.

She is the one who was rejected.

Yet in the end, Yuanchong is the one

who got hurt.

Li Yuanchong.

She doesn't like Li Yuanchong.

I like...

You can't

come in here unless you're an employee.

I know.

Don't worry.

I'm already an employee here.

You're going to work here?

Yes.

The store has always been short of hands.

That's why I'm here.

I look forward to working with you.

Okay.

I hope you were honest

about not liking Yuanchong.

Don't play with Yuanchong's feelings

and pretend to be hard to get.

I hate two-minded women.

Are you threatening me?

If what you said is from the bottom of your heart,

then how come my words

are a threat?

From now on,

I will try my best to pursue Yuanchong.

This steak is crispy but tender inside.

It'll taste good

with a little pepper salt.

Do you want shrimp?

I'll serve you if you want.

If you hurt your...

Delicate!

Delicate fingers,

it'll be bad.

Let me peel it for you.

This enoki mushroom

is

delicious.

If you want any vegetables,

just let me know.

Thank you.

I'll grill some meat for you.

I'll catch some shrimp for you.

I'll go

pick some vegetables.

The three of them seem weird.

Do they?

A beautiful woman

is naturally to be the focus of the attention.

Why do I feel

they are up to something?

I know.

What do you know?

It must be the magic of this Love Forest.

I knew it.

Single men and women can find love

in this forest.

I'd better walk more around the forest.

Bye.

You just left like that?

How's that possible?

There's no magic!

What are you two doing?

-Nothing. -Nothing.

Why did Katy leave?

I’ll go find her.

Is it good?

Yes.

Do you want some shrimp?

No.

I don't have delicate hands.

I'll eat Taro.

I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

You live in the same room as Elly.

Is there anything special about her?

Are you asking me about Elly?

Yes.

Elly.

Haikuo has something to ask you.

Keke.

Keke.

What do you want to ask me?

Nothing.

Can I ask you?

About what?

What do you think about first

when barbecuing?

Do you know what I think about first?

What?

I think about you first.

Do you feel hot?

I'm thinking about you.

Keke.

Why are you angry?

I'm not angry.

Yes, you are.

I'm not angry.

Stop pulling me.

Go to your Elly.

So you are unhappy because

I cared about Elly?

I'm not unhappy.

Why should I be unhappy?

I'm not unhappy.

You're jealous.

I'm not jealous.

You fell in love with me.

I...

What are you talking about?

I...

Have you been influenced by Michael Zhao

because you've been with him for too long

and it made you feel good about yourself?

No.

You are jealous.

I'm not jealous.

I rejected you before.

But you are jealous.

Why would I be jealous?

Who am I jealous of?

Elly.

That's because

she and I never get along.

You keep asking me about her.

I don't know.

Of course, I'm annoyed.

I...

I...

I won't like you anyway.

Do you think he'll believe you

if you say it like that?

I think he will.

I think since he's so smart,

he'll find something.

No way.

But...

Why are you so resistant to him?

Don't you think he's nice?

He's reliable

and mature.

It doesn't matter if you fall in love with him.

It matters.

He can spend 52,000 NTD in one night.

52,000!

But he's a rich second generation.

His family is rich,

and he himself can earn a lot of money.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But it has nothing to do

with whether his family is rich or not.

It's our values

are as extreme as the difference

between the North and South Poles.

Jian Keke.

Both the North and South Poles are covered with ice.

They're the same.

If you said that...

Right.

But I mean

our values are too different.

We won't be happy

if we're together.

Let me tell you.

Nothing is absolute in life.

I know

it may be hard for two people in a relationship

with different values.

But now that you like him,

then face it.

I think you can definitely find

the balance point.

But our values

are like a seesaw.

It will never balance.

But it's fun to play on a seesaw

with someone you like.

Sun Jiali,

I find you

very good at talking tonight.

It's not that I'm good at talking.

It's someone who got seasick

and became stupid.

Sun Jiali.

Alright.

I just hope

you can listen to the voice in your heart.

The voice in my heart.

At least,

don't make decisions that you'll regret.

It says a hot spring here

can make your skin more delicate and smooth,

promote blood circulation,

soften the keratin,

and accelerate metabolism.

Does it mention how long it's best to soak in the hot spring?

About 15 minutes.

So...

Rry.

Yu Fen.

Yu Fen.

What are you doing?

I...

I'm fine.

Let's go soak in the hot spring.

You hate Chen Shi so much?

You kept staring at him the whole time.

No, I didn't.

I don't hate him.

So this is your taste.

You like girls

of Yu Fen's type?

I don't like her.

Cut it out.

You look like

you're about to drool.

I've seen too many such expressions.

This is the expression the girls showed

when they saw me.

I dare to guess

you are in love.

It's not like that.

I don't know.

Every time I look at her,

I can't take my eyes off her.

I can also

hear music.

Music?

What music?

I think it's the theme song.

Really?

Theme song.

Bro,

you're under too much pressure at work.

You misheard.

I've also experienced high work pressure before.

But I didn't have such symptoms.

Then tell me

when this symptom started.

It seemed to start

when we were at the entrance of the forest.

There's a legend in this forest.

I heard that

single men and women

may find their love

after taking a stroll in the forest.

Love Forest.

What's up?

Bro.

Why did you answer the door half-naked?

Why do I

need to wear clothes when sleeping?

Then why

shall I talk to you at the door?

Because

this is my room.

Wang Haikuo.

Mr. Zhao.

Why did you appear in my bed

during your beauty sleep?

My body told me

I should sleep at this hour.

But my mind doesn't allow me to do that.

I'm sorry.

Both my mind and body told me

I shouldn't talk to you now

but sleep.

You can sleep,

but you have to promise me one thing.

Ask Elly to go to the Love Forest for me.

I refuse.

I almost lost Keke

because of this last time.

It won't happen again.

Please.

Except for you to help me,

I have no other way.

Get lost.

I don't care.

If you don't promise me today,

I won't leave.

Chen Shi.

If he sleeps here today,

he'll sleep on the same bed with you.

This bed is already too small for me.

No.

I don't want to leave.

So manly!

Help!

Help!

No!

My eyeshades.

I didn't bring my eyeshades.

No.

I want to go home.

Is it that serious?

You don't understand.

What are you doing?

Are you asking me?

Who else could I ask?

You're the only one here.

I want to

go to the bathroom.

Jian Keke.

It's late.

Why are you still up causing trouble?

What do you want?

Wagyu beef.

Lobsters.

What Wagyu beef?

Wagyu beef.

Lobsters.

What Wagyu beef and lobsters?

Wagyu beef.

Lobsters.

Jian Keke, are you still hungry or something?

I'm full.

Time to sleep.

Is she sleepwalking?

Why hasn't Elly shown up yet?

Haikuo!

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

No worries.

It's really sunny today.

Aren't you

afraid of getting sunburned?

No, I'm not.

For you,

I'd endure anything.

Thank you.

There's a legend

that this forest can make people fall in love.

Have you heard of it?

Yes.

That's why I invited you all here.

You all?

No, just us.

Weird.

Where are Keke

and Michael Zhao?

Didn't we plan to "bump into each other" here?

What are you looking for?

Let's go.

Where are we now?

How would I know?

How can you not know?

You said

to go this way.

But before that,

I was following

your lead.

So now we can't trust

your directions or mine.

Whose should we trust?

Let's trust technology then!

This compass app

will make sure you never get lost,

whether you're hiking, traveling,

rock climbing, or skiing.

This app

will easily solve

all your lost situations.

No

signal

here.

Oh no!

There's no signal.

What should we do?

How can there be no signal?

Where are we?

Michael Zhao

[Watch out for Bears]

Taiwan

Black

Bear.

They shouldn't be here, right?

No way.

They only appear

at altitudes above 3000 meters

in sparsely populated areas, right?

Yes, I think so.

After confirming everything,

we'll do a final inventory check

and we can call it a day.

Got it.

No problem.

I'm okay with it.

The convenience store tasks

are varied and complex.

If you forget something

or don't know how to do it,

you can ask me

or request my help.

No worries,

I've got it.

We receive deliveries at least three times a day.

Refrigerated items usually arrive in the morning,

and frozen items at night.

The first thing to do when you start your shift

is to check the cash register

to ensure there's enough change

for customers.

Then

check for soon-to-expire food,

restock items,

and make sure the temperature

of the machines is normal.

You really remember everything.

It's not that hard.

This means we won't need to

work the same shift in the future, right?

Yuanchong, let me help you.

No, I can do it myself.

Don't you need to learn new things from Jiali?

I've remembered everything.

Right?

Qianqian is a fast learner.

It's okay. I can do it myself.

Yuanchong.

You don't trust me?

That really hurt my feelings.

I'm going to punish you.

You have to watch a movie with me tonight.

I can't. I have plans tonight.

Then,

how about on your day off?

I have plans on my day off too.

Then whenever you're free,

I'll be available.

I don't have any free time.

Yuanchong.

Are you avoiding me?

No.

I'm really busy.

So, I don't have time.

Busy?

Busy with what?

Well...

Well...

You are injured!

You...

You got burned,

didn't you?

It's not a burn.

No?

This is clearly a burn.

Don't lie to me.

You...

How did you burn yourself?

Fine.

I accidentally burned myself

cooking instant noodles last night.

Instant noodles?

Let me see.

Jiali, I have to go now.

Bye bye.

Yuanchong.

What's wrong?

Need any more help?

Apply this burn ointment

twice a day,

morning and night.

It helps prevent scarring.

You should be more careful.

Seeing you like this makes me worry.

Yuanchong.

Yuanchong.

Yuanchong.

Yuanchong!

Take this.

My grandma bought me a lot of them.

Remember to use it.

I have to get back to work.

My legs are sore.

I need a break.

Okay.

Sit down and take a break then.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Can you massage my legs?

They're really sore.

Okay.

Where did Keke

and Michael Zhao go?

Alone with Haikuo,

this is my chance.

I need to do something

to get closer to him.

My hands are dirty.

I'm going to wash them over there.

Stop it.

Stop it, Haikuo.

Stop splashing me.

It's so cold!

No!

No!

No!

Haikuo, no!

No!

Elly.

What are you doing?

Putting on

a little water show

for you.

Do you like it?

No.

Why?

It's all censored.

Censored?

Who did it?

How about now?

Happy?

Very.

But

I want more than this.

I also want

deeper interaction.

Elly, what are you...

Why are you smiling?

Nothing.

Your massage feels great. Thank you.

My hands are dirty.

I'll go wash them over there.

Slow down.

I finally found you.

I finally found you guys!

What happened?

There are...

There are bears.

Bears!

Run faster!

A bear warning again?

It can't

be the same one.

No.

-Hurry up. -No.

Michael Zhao.

I can't run anymore.

Sorry.

It's okay.

You...

Is your head okay?

Don't faint here.

I can't carry you down the mountain.

You...

We've survived

a disaster.

We're like

new people now.

I feel like I was reborn too.

Do you think we can make a lot of money now?

How can there be bears here?

Bear or no bear,

we need to get out of here now.

No!

No, we can't go.

My water show isn't finished yet.

What show?

No, I mean

you guys can go ahead.

I want to keep exploring the forest with Haikuo.

What are you doing?

You hurt your foot.

How did you know?

I have eyes.

It's okay. I can walk on my own.

So cool.

Yeah.

A man's coolness

comes from being tough like this.

Isn't he cool?

You'd better stay away from me.

I'm not in a good mood.

It's okay.

Elly,

I can be very tough too.

Do you need me to carry you?

Let me help.

You're wearing high heels.

-It's hard to walk. -No need.

Let me carry you.

No.

Let me carry you on my back.

-No. -Let me show you my toughness!

Today's bakery lesson is

about how to make bear cupcakes.

Look, aren't they cute?

You have flour, water, eggs,

and decorations for the bear's eyes and nose.

I'll teach you

step by step.

Miss,

baking is a very

important dream for me.

Can you give me another chance?

Can you please let me go?

Dreams are dreams.

Let them stay that way.

Give up, okay?

Jiali.

Why did you come to find me?

If you can follow me,

I can follow you too.

Then,

why did you suddenly want to follow me?

I can tell from your burn mark

that you got burned by a metal tray.

Why do you want to learn baking?

Keke said

you want to open a bakery.

So?

I want to help you fulfill your dream.

You don't have to do this.

It's not about whether I need to do it or not.

I want to do this.

That's why I signed up for the bakery classes.

Although I'm clumsy

and not very talented,

and the teacher just tried to discourage me,

I've

decided

to pursue this path

no matter how hard it is

or what it costs.

Your dream

is my mission.

I'll

see it through

without compromise

or giving up

[Preview]

I really like you

for being like this.

I agree with you on it.

What do you mean?

He

wants to steal my Keke.

No way.

Elly,

stop escaping, okay?

About what I asked

the other day,

have you thought it over?

We can get married first and then try to get along.

Marriage is about reality,

benefits,

and eugenics.

I've decided to confess to Haikuo.

Why are you looking at me like this?
