[Love on a Shoestring]

Jian Keke.

[Episode 4]

Long time no see.

I can tell from your expression

that you haven't forgotten me.

Rosa rugosa, possessing both fragrance and beauty,

is rarely grown in the countryside.

The neighbor's...

Miss, your tea egg.

Miss.

Hurry.

Mistakes it for rosa multiflora.

Don't call her.

She left

this egg specially for me.

I don't think he's coming after me.

So scary.

Where is my tea egg?

Chen Shi.

Print this too.

Okay.

Thank you for your hard work today.

You're even working overtime with me.

It's okay.

It's all for the performance.

Well,

what do you want to eat?

Order whatever you want.

My treat.

Okay.

Thank you, Manager.

It's impossible that Keke likes me so much.

Keke passively spent 30 NTD to buy someone's milk.

But she actively spent money

to buy me a tea egg.

I know someone

may not accept it temporarily.

But the truth is right in front of us.

Someone better believe it.

You bought

that tea egg yourself, right?

I have a convenience store employee as a witness.

If someone still doesn't believe me,

he can check the CCTV.

Smells good.

Wait.

What?

You didn't even peel the shell of this egg properly.

You dare to eat it?

Really?

I did peel it properly.

There are shells. Here.

Where?

Over here. Did you see it?

-Where? -Here.

There's none.

What are you doing?

This is the tea egg Keke bought for me.

Spit it out!

Spit it out!

Spit it out!

It's just an egg.

-Do they need to fight like this? -Spit it out.

Is the tea egg so delicious?

[Zhigang's online spouse Gao Weishan An envious little gangster girl]

Take it off.

I said, take it off!

Miss. What are you doing?

You look pretty.

Why do you like to steal other girl's boyfriend?

What are you talking about?

I didn't steal someone else's boyfriend.

If not,

why would we wear the same bracelet?

My boyfriend gave it to me.

What's wrong?

Cut the crap!

How dare you!

What are you talking about?

Tell me.

-Miss. -What do you mean by your boyfriend?

Miss.

Calm down.

Please talk nicely.

If it's useful,

I wouldn't have had to do this.

I'm warning you.

Stay away from my boyfriend.

Otherwise, I won't let you go.

Manager, I'm sorry.

[Bakery Manager You Fanfang Serious small business operator]

Good morning, Uncle.

Morning.

Is there anything

from the Accounting Department of Trendee?

Yes.

Please sign here.

Uncle, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I just want to tell you

you must be happy.

Okay.

He's acting weird today.

She's here.

Keke, you're finally here.

We've been waiting for you for a long time.

Why are you three standing here?

The prince is waiting for the princess.

What are you doing now?

Why are you blaming me?

I'm not the one Michael Zhao likes.

I didn't force him to pursue you.

Keke.

You don’t like him.

But you shouldn't take it out on Elly.

Who made you so irresistibly adorable?

Katy, it’s okay.

If Keke really thinks

I'm setting them up,

then I

don't mind being

Cupid, the god of love,

and shouldering the mission to matchmake two destined people.

Keke, go inside.

The person inside has been waiting for a long time.

And you should finish it quickly

so that we can go to work.

Here.

Please.

Come.

Princess, please.

Princess.

[Information Room]

My sleeping beauty in the castle.

You're late, my princess.

Are you waiting for my kiss?

Why did you make my seat

like this?

That's the breakfast I carefully prepared for you.

I know you like radish cake with egg.

I specially prepared

an upgraded radish cake with egg.

That's too exaggerated.

I even squeezed

a cup of vegetable and fruit juice for you.

Do you like it?

Thank you. I'm not hungry.

Please take it away.

My dear Jian Keke, long time no see.

You're becoming more and more beautiful.

Your increasingly beautiful eyes,

smoother skin,

girlish figure,

and cherry lips...

Please don't waste our time.

We have work to do. Get lost.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the feeling.

It feels so familiar.

It's a hot feeling.

I like it.

It makes me unable to forget,

yearning day and night,

experiencing it even in my dreams...

If you're unable to forget it,

you should remember

what I told you.

I have no feelings for you.

Of course, I remember.

It's like the song

that witnessed our falling in love.

The person I love the most

hurt me the most.

By the way,

I heard

your taste has changed.

Who told you that?

Elly told me.

She said you spent 30 NTD

to buy a bottle of milk you didn't want to drink.

That's because he's my best friend.

So I paid him.

No need to explain. I mean it.

I am

a little bit jealous,

but

I'm happy to see your change.

I haven't changed.

Especially my feelings for you haven't changed.

Look at her.

This stubborn little mouth.

Didn't you

buy me a tea egg yesterday?

And today you're saying you don't love me.

It's like

that song between you and me...

The song that we love the most...

The song that we love the most...

Say One Thing, Mean Another.

I kissed your hand?

So disgusting.

Mr. Zhao.

Why are you in the Accounting Department?

I've been looking for you.

I have something to tell you.

Chen Shi.

Clean up the things on the table.

Yes.

I didn't struggle.

Why did you hold my hand so hard?

I'm so delicate.

If I get hurt,

can you afford it?

Did you just want to kiss Jian Keke's hand?

In the end, I kissed your hand.

So you want to pursue Jian Keke again?

Yes.

Good. Very good.

I like Jian Keke too.

Let's compete fairly.

What did you say?

I said let's compete fairly.

No.

The second-to-last sentence you just said.

You said I liked Jian Keke.

Did you misunderstand something?

Pursuing her

doesn't necessarily mean

I like her.

Have you never been in a relationship before?

What's your purpose?

To prove myself.

Think about it.

I'm so handsome

and tender.

As long as I smile at those girls,

they will take the initiative

and worship me like a prince.

But Jian Keke is different.

She ignored me.

No matter how hard I tried,

even if I displayed my peacock feathers in front of her,

in her eyes,

there was no passion

admiration,

or desire to scream.

It hurts my pride.

Pride?

Yes.

Pride is important

to a man.

Jian Keke is human.

She has feelings.

She'll get hurt too.

She's not a trophy

to satisfy your pride.

I

will win her over.

You

should take some medicine.

I should take my medicine?

How did he know I had a cold?

Manager.

I'm really sorry about today.

I don't know

why that happened this morning.

But I didn't steal anyone's boyfriend.

Zhigang and I have been together for years.

You saw us too.

Jiali.

I don't care about your love life.

I just hope that this kind of thing

won't happen again.

Take care of your personal affairs.

Don't affect the business

and reputation of our shop.

I know.

I'll take care of it.

I trust you.

But I have to remind you.

If this happens again,

I might have to ask you to leave.

But

I'm the only one

who can make strawberry Soufflé.

Even if you're the only one who can make it now,

no one can't be replaced.

Got it.

Even if you're the only one who can make it now,

no one can't be replaced.

Jiali.

I'm sorry.

I know you're still angry.

But please let me explain.

[Jiali's boyfriend Wu Zhigang Unknowledgeable scumbag]

Okay, then explain

what happened to that bracelet.

And why did that girl

scold me for stealing her boyfriend?

That girl's name is Gao Weishan.

We met online.

I admit

she would call me "Husband"

on the Internet.

But...

But I really don't like her.

What about the bracelet?

You said it was specially made for me

and that was the only one in the world.

Why does she have it too?

I really asked someone

to customize it.

But when I

got it,

I posted it in the group chat.

She saw it.

She insisted on having one too.

So I had to give it to her.

You look pale.

You didn't get enough rest, did you?

She

waited for her boyfriend to pick her up

until dawn.

-And she had to get up at 8 a.m... -Keke.

I need you to take good care of yourself.

Don't make us worry anymore.

Okay?

I think...

I don't want to break up.

Jiali, please.

I don't want to break up.

But...

Jiali.

I just made a mistake.

Please forgive me.

You should know

I really need you.

You need me?

I really need you.

Maybe

your family and friends sometimes need you.

You're not indispensable for your workplace.

But I'm different, Jiali.

I really need you.

You are everything to me.

My whole world.

So don't be angry.

Please forgive me.

Please forgive me.

I...

I swear

I will never make the same mistake again.

I will treat you well with all my heart.

If you're not by my side,

I would be very unhappy

and upset.

So, please.

Don't abandon me.

If you don't talk,

I'll kneel down and apologize to you.

I won't abandon you.

I know it feels bad to be abandoned.

Thank you, Jiali.

I knew you treated me the best.

Thank you.

Alright, let's go.

I'll take you to have a midnight snack, okay?

Alright, don't be angry.

I won't do the same thing again.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Start.

Okay.

I'm not bragging.

I, Master Jian,

have a good taste.

I bought this dress 30 years ago

for your mother.

After 30 years, as long as I trim it a bit,

you can still lead at the forefront of the times.

Come on.

Give me the scissors.

Let me do it.

-What are you doing? -Come on.

There's one more place to show.

Here.

Be careful.

My daughter's slim waist is so beautiful.

Show it.

Show it to others.

She'll catch a cold if it's exposed.

She won't.

Mom.

Thank you for giving me this dress.

It saved me some money for dressing.

Why do you say that?

For this wedding banquet,

you were having nightmares

and screaming.

You also yelled at someone.

Did I?

Absolutely.

Here, show more of this.

Here.

That's enough.

Do you know where the sexiest part

of a woman is?

No way!

Here comes the pride of a woman.

My daughter is like a mannequin.

You look good in everything you wear.

Look at your figure.

Curvy and well-proportioned.

Thanks to

the papaya pork rib soup I made.

I need to thank genetics as well.

Then it's my credit.

If I had known, I would have eaten all those papayas.

I don't want my daughter

to go out dressed like this.

What do you even know?

Sweetie,

if you wear this to the wedding,

I bet all the male guests

will be drooling over you.

The line of suitors

will stretch from

the banquet hall entrance

all the way to our front door!

Alright, stop talking, okay?

It's about time.

-Hurry up and head out. -Yes.

Yes, I should set off.

Hurry up.

So beautiful.

Be careful.

Hello, Keke.

These should be

your parents.

Hello, I'm Wang Haikuo,

Keke's colleague from work.

I'm here to pick her up.

Pick me up?

No, you just joined the company.

How did you get an invitation?

I asked Joan for one

since I knew you'd be going.

Who's that?

Keke.

Hop in.

I'll drive you to the wedding hall.

Mr. Zhao. You don't seem to know

the concept of first come, first served.

First come, first served?

You mean you arrived first on your motorcycle

to give Keke a ride?

How inconsiderate!

How can a girl in a dress ride on the back of a motorcycle?

Why can't?

Seems like someone is a bit ignorant.

If I were you,

I wouldn't let our lovely Keke ride on a vehicle

with no protection from the wind and rain.

Both of your vehicles are too cheap.

I'm going to take something more expensive.

-What is it? -What is it?

The subway.

Dad, Mom, I'm leaving.

-Okay. -Bye.

Bye.

Be careful. Bye.

Keke.

Listen...

Don't run. You'll fall.

What are they doing?

Can't you tell?

I'm so

cheered up.

Keke has

found her spring.

Come in.

Spring!

Why is it so cold?

Hello.

We're the bride's friends.

Okay.

Your wedding dress is gorgeous.

It really flatters your figure.

I spent forever picking it out.

A woman looks her most beautiful on this day.

She's the focus of everyone's attention.

I'm so envious

that you're getting married before 30.

Elly,

When I throw the bouquet,

you have to catch it.

That's right.

I heard catching the bouquet

brings you happiness

and a quick marriage.

Exactly.

Maybe

by the time I get back from my honeymoon,

I'll hear your good news too.

Yeah.

There are so many people chasing Elly anyway.

You're right.

With so many great guys pursuing me,

I should probably consider settling down.

Yes.

Sign here, please.

She didn't even sign her name.

Yes.

And she looked so sad just now.

Could she be the groom's ex-girlfriend?

Possibly.

Please sign here.

Thank you.

Unbelievable.

Another one who didn't sign.

But this man is quite generous.

Not bad.

Hello.

Are you with the bride or groom?

I'm a friend of the bride's.

The bride's side. Thank you.

Could you please sign here?

I might be your future boyfriend too.

What's that supposed to mean?

Is it trendy not to sign these days?

Only 600 NT dollars.

-That's way too little. -Oh, my.

These people

must have some complicated relationship

with the bride or groom.

I think so too.

Hello.

-Is this okay? -Here.

The photos need to look nicer.

I'll post them online.

Extend your legs a bit.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Tilt your head a little.

So beautiful!

Keke is here.

Jian Keke.

Did you buy a new dress?

What brand is it?

Why haven't I seen it before?

It's not like you've seen every brand.

This is the latest season design by Master Fuyun.

One of a kind, absolutely unique.

And

you can't buy it.

Keep bragging.

A new dress and a red envelope.

With all the money spent,

you must be bleeding inside.

You've attended so many weddings,

but it's still not your turn.

I wonder if I'll live long enough

to witness the miracle of you getting married.

Sister.

Michael Zhao.

Keke is here.

(So despicable.)

I'm sorry.

You...

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I can't stay here for long.

Keke, where are you going?

I'll go with you.

Keke didn't say she wanted you to accompany her, did she?

Don't you care most about who comes first?

This time, I said it first.

But we ran into each other first.

Let's go.

Then the three of us can go together.

I'm not going anywhere.

Can I just stand here?

-I'll stay with you. -I'll stay with you.

Thank you for taking me to the hospital that day

and for bringing me nutritional supplements.

You came to my house to visit me that day

but we beat you up.

I hope you weren't hurt.

No, I wasn't.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Did your friend

say anything to you?

Do you mean Keke?

She didn't say anything in particular.

But she did ask me

what kind of person you are.

Don't worry.

I didn't say anything bad about you.

I only said you don't like to talk much.

Where is your bracelet?

How did you know I had a bracelet?

There was one time when it went missing.

You were so anxious that you almost cried.

I think

this bracelet must be very important to you.

Not anymore.

What did you say?

I said...

I'm afraid of losing it,

so I left it at home.

I'm going to the counter.

Hello.

Excuse me.

I picked up this parcel here yesterday.

But when I got home,

I realized I didn't order this.

Don't panic.

You've probably received a scam package.

Why?

What should I do now?

Don't worry.

You can use the function

in the "Safe Package Pickup"

to request a refund.

Then use your phone to scan

the QR code on the receipt

to file a complaint.

Customer service will then contact you

after they confirm everything.

Then you can get a refund.

Is it this website?

Yes, that's the one.

Then fill in the form.

Jiali.

Why are you here?

I bought you lunch.

It's from your favorite curry rice place.

Don't you have an interview?

No need.

The interviews I had earlier went quite smoothly.

Your boyfriend will have

a good job very soon.

Really?

Of course.

Your boyfriend is awesome.

I will assure you

a good life in the future.

You're not wearing it.

Well,

it's okay if you don't wear it.

As long as you're not angry.

I promise

I will make another bracelet

that is truly unique, just for you.

And

I definitely won't give it to any other girl.

I've filled it out. Thank you.

With your help, I won't be scammed.

There are many scams now.

Some people scam for money and some scam for sex.

You have to be careful.

Okay, thank you.

You...

Who are you calling a scammer?

I can't focus on my work with you here.

Why don't you wait for me at the internet cafe nearby?

Okay.

I'll do as you say.

I'll pick you up

after you get off work.

Remember to eat it.

Bye.

Bye.

Any other questions?

After they receive it,

they will notify you.

-Okay. -You can get a refund then.

Okay. Thank you.

So I just press this, right?

Yes.

Okay.

-Thank you. -About the bracelet,

I hope Yuanchong didn't hear all that.

Let's take some photos. Come closer.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Eat more vegetables.

Vegetables are rich in

vitamins A, B, C, D, E...

-They're great for your skin... -I don't want to eat vegetables.

Thank you.

Then how about some seafood?

White meat is better than red meat.

But I just want to eat red meat.

Red meat is good too.

Have some water.

Your mouth might get dry from eating too much.

Thank you.

You can wipe your mouth after drinking.

You are so sweet.

Keke.

To prove my determination,

I've decided to get

the only bride bouquet for you.

Just wait.

I don't want the bouquet.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you for coming today.

Are we done with the photos?

The bride should be getting ready to toss the bouquet, right?

Okay.

Girls, come quickly.

The bride is about to throw the bouquet.

Later, Joan will throw the bouquet

in my direction.

Yu Fen and I will help you block everyone.

Thank you.

Michael Zhao.

Why are you also trying to catch the bouquet?

He must be trying to get it for Jian Keke.

But I don't think

he'll succeed.

That's for sure.

I'm going to toss it now!

One.

Two.

Three.

Go away.

Go away!

Go away!

How did Haikuo take the bouquet?

What's he going to do with it?

Jian Keke.

I like you.

Will you be my girlfriend?

Keke.

Tell me.

Do you want to get married?

No.

Then why did you

catch the bouquet?

That's because I...

I understand.

Our Keke is all grown up.

This day was bound to come sooner or later.

But it has come too soon!

Stop.

I told you

I didn't catch the bouquet myself.

Someone gave it to me.

Who would catch the bouquet

to give it to others?

Exactly.

The man

who wanted to pick me up in the morning.

But there were two men this morning.

Which one?

The one riding the motorcycle, Haikuo!

After he got the bouquet,

he even confessed to me.

Who would've thought that our Keke

would have two men pursuing her at once?

Keke.

Are you going to

be a two-timer?

No way.

Michael Zhao.

I'm talking about

the guy who drove the car this morning.

He's just an extremely narcissistic jerk.

He doesn't like me at all.

As for Haikuo...

Jian Keke.

I sincerely hope

that in front of all these witnesses,

you'll agree to be my girlfriend.

His acting is very good!

I agree.

That's great.

Thank you, Jian Keke.

I will make you happy.

Thank you.

Congratulations, Manager.

Congratulations, Mr. Wang.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Manager.

Congratulations, Manager.

It's a pity that you didn't see Elly's expression.

I really wanted to record it.

It was too classic.

Serves her right for cutting my bonus.

Why does it sound weird?

How?

So you think Haikuo was helping you out?

He wasn't confessing to you for real?

Yeah, he was helping me out.

Because he knows how annoying Michael Zhao is.

Really?

You two didn't plan this out beforehand.

You didn't have it all arranged,

and then he could confess to you

in front of everyone?

You're saying

this was all an act?

Yes.

Dad, listen.

This is called being in sync.

Our tacit understanding is perfect.

Plus, he mentioned the keywords

"in front of everyone."

That's what you think.

Maybe Haikuo

really likes you.

[Preview]

Jian Keke.

Please

check all the information

you just gave me.

I have no obligation to help you.

Acting?

According to a man's instinct,

I think

Wang Haikuo is serious.

We need to find a way

to make Keke stay away from Haikuo.

Must break up.

And make a clean break.

It's good for both sides.

You're breaking my heart.

You blame me for still being in touch with Weishan.

You are not any better.

Watch your mouth.

If he really likes you,

I won't let you wait for a second.

Do you know

where your happiness lies?
