[Men in Love]

[Episode 14]

Xiaoxiao, you're back.

Auntie.

Hello, Xiaoxiao.

Hello, you look taller.

We're going to buy some groceries.

-See you, Auntie. -Okay.

Xiaoxiao.

Auntie Zhang.

You still work as a coach in Shanghai?

Yes.

How much do you earn per month?

It must be over 10,000 RMB.

Almost.

See you later.

Xiaoxiao.

-Auntie Wang. -You didn’t bring your boyfriend back?

I don't have a boyfriend.

Let me introduce someone to you.

My sister-in-law's relative.

No, thanks, Auntie.

I'm good.

Why not?

My daughter is still not married.

Look at her.

What kind of life is she having?

Right, why is she proud of being single?

No one will look after her when she's old if she do not get married.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Xiaoxiao.

-Hurry up. -Okay.

Don't delay too long.

Okay, I know.

[Restaurant] [Teahouse]

Xiaoxiao.

-Grandpa. -You're back.

I'm back.

Do you bring your child?

I haven't got married yet.

You haven't got married yet?

How old are you?

You'll be over 30 very soon.

I'm 29.

Yes, 29.

But you'll be 30 next year.

-Yes. -Hurry up.

My grandma is calling me.

See you.

See you.

Grandma.

It's me.

Stop. Stop.

I can't breathe.

Let go.

You came back so soon.

Did you miss me?

I'm so happy to see you.

Am I thinner?

Yes.

You take a break.

-Let me do it. -Okay.

Xiaoxiao.

-Xiaoxiao is back. -Auntie Fang.

Fang,

you got the news so quickly.

As soon as my granddaughter came back,

you came.

I care about Xiaoxiao.

How are you doing?

You live alone. How is your life in Shanghai?

Pretty good.

Xiaoxiao is getting prettier every year.

Look at you.

Your face

is beautiful.

Your teeth are fine.

And you have a nice body.

You look fit.

She is my granddaughter.

Of course she gets prettier every year.

Yes.

Your family are all born pretty.

Yes.

You inherited it from your grandma.

Yes, I inherited it from my grandma.

My grandma is the prettiest.

Xiaoxiao.

Do you remember my nephew Wenguang?

You two often had fun together when you were children.

He used to be a little fat.

Oh, Wenguang.

Yes, I remember him.

He

is thin now.

He is very handsome.

He's also tall.

He should be around 1.75m tall.

No, 1.78m.

He's tall, right?

Yes.

He also works in Shanghai.

He's a finance guy

at a big company.

He has a promising career.

Fang,

you

are being a matchmaker again.

Again?

I am always a matchmaker.

They're young people. Let them decide for themselves.

No, Sis.

That's not right.

Let me tell you,

we have to help them.

I don't think so.

Young people don't like blind dates.

Okay.

Auntie Fang,

I agree to see your nephew.

You can introduce him to me.

Good.

See?

It's a good thing that they get to know each other.

Right?

He might be back now.

I'll go see him.

Wait for my good news.

Wait for my good news. I mean it.

See you, Auntie Fang.

What are you doing?

Grandma.

If I

don't agree to see her nephew,

she will keep coming to our home

until the Spring Festival comes.

You're right.

Let's go inside.

Let's take a break.

Let me help you.

No need.

Here's your oat latte.

Hot.

Half sugar. Half coconut milk.

Double espresso.

Here's your iced latte.

No sugar. Less ice.

Thank you.

Can you order the same thing next time?

Your likes are so different.

I can't remember all of them.

No.

You just enjoy making things difficult for me.

By the way,

we need a new coach for our basketball team.

Why?

Xiaoxiao is our coach.

She quit.

What?

You need to find a new coach.

I can't

be your coach anymore.

Why so sudden?

Is something wrong?

The Bicycle Racing Classics is coming.

It's very important to my bicycle team.

It will be my first time

to lead the team alone and participate in the race.

I want to concentrate

on the training for the race.

What should we do?

Well.

I have to find Xiaoxiao

and talk to her in person.

Where can you find her?

You said you couldn't contact her.

But I have to.

Can you get in touch with her?

She asked me not to contact her, either.

You call her.

Xiaoxiao.

Grandma.

Are you preparing the vegetables?

You've thrown away many edible parts.

Are you absent-minded?

Has your problem solved?

I'm working on it.

So it's not solved.

I need to tell you,

you can't

hide everything from others.

You have to speak it out.

Understand?

Mrs. Wu, a bottle of soy sauce, please.

Coming.

I'll go.

Okay.

-Hello? -Hello?

Is it

Li Xiaoxiao's phone?

Yes.

Xiaoxiao is serving a customer.

Customer?

You are?

I'm Xiaoxiao's grandma.

Hello, Grandma.

I have something

to tell her.

Should I put her on the phone?

No, thanks.

I want to talk to her in person.

Grandma, would you mind sending me your address?

My address?

Yes.

Hangzhou.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Grandma.

Xiaoxiao went back to her hometown.

[Zhuantang, Hangzhou]

What are you going to do?

I'm going to find her.

Listen.

I got the address.

Don't take my credit.

You're going to see her, too?

Why not?

Why are you going to see her?

None of your business.

Stop making things more difficult.

I'm making things more difficult?

Yes, it's you.

You caused all the problems.

So let me solve them.

You are the biggest problem.

Give it to me.

No.

Give it to me.

No way.

-Give it to me. -No way.

Stop it, you two.

What's wrong with you two today?

None of your business.

How about

we go together?

Why are you going to see her?

She is avoiding you.

Don't you understand?

I caused the problem so it has to be solved by me.

She said

she needed some time.

If I don't go see her,

will she come to see me?

It made me feel sorry

that she quit the team because of me.

You know

why she left.

Why did you

hurt her?

I didn't...

Forget it.

Then tell me

why you don't like Xiaoxiao?

Let me ask you.

Why do you like Xiaoxiao?

I asked my question first.

How should I put it?

Well,

I don't feel anything for her.

But I have feelings for her.

So I hope

you will leave

as soon as possible

after you talk to her.

Okay.

Do you want me to pull over now?

I'll take out my car key

and go back right away. You want this?

Tell me.

Since when did you start to have feelings for her?

Well...

I was smitten by her

when I saw her

for the first time.

Understand?

From the first time you saw her?

At the tenth anniversary party?

What happened that night?

Xiaoxiao.

Here's your favorite drink.

Here.

Give it to me.

Thank you.

What a hearty meal!

Try the vinegar fish.

You take a bite.

You, too.

Hello.

Hello, you two.

You're having a meal.

Hello, Auntie.

Take a seat. Join us.

No, thanks. I've had a meal.

You go on.

Xiaoxiao. Here.

This is Wenguang.

-Hello. -Hello.

When you were little kids,

you two often

played games of make-believe together.

You played the mother and he played the father, right?

That was a long time a ago.

You really have a good memory.

Look.

How time flies!

Now,

you're old enough to get married.

Fang,

have a seat.

-Let’s talk while eating. -Yeah.

Yes.

Let's leave.

Give the two young people some privacy.

I haven't finished yet.

-Let’s go. -No.

Let's go.

Xiaoxiao,

you two have a nice chat.

Grandma.

Don't pull me.

Let's go. Let's go.

Xiaoxiao.

Long time no see.

Yes.

Have a seat. Let's eat.

Okay.

I'll get you chopsticks.

No need.

I don't eat fish.

You enjoy the fish.

-Have a seat. -You drink this.

Okay, I like it.

I heard

you're the coach for a men's bicycle team.

This must be a tiring job.

That's fine.

The athletes are more tired than me.

Physically,

you're fine.

But financially,

you must be facing a lot pressure.

This isn't a well-paid job, right?

Not that bad.

Did you buy an apartment in Shanghai?

No.

I've bought one.

Good for you.

Congratulations.

Will you still work

after getting married?

Of course.

I'll keep working whether I get married or not.

Xiaoxiao,

I think we are a perfect match.

And I'm very satisfied with you.

Let's exchange our WeChat numbers

so as to know each other more.

I'm an accountant

at a state-owned enterprise.

It's a stable career.

I don't think

you need to work after we get married.

Actually, my earnings should be enough for us.

How much is enough?

If I had known this before,

I should have brought my helicopter here.

It would take only 15 minutes to get here by helicopter.

Yes.

But there's no parking apron.

Then buy one.

It's not hard.

Right.

You are a nice guy.

There must be many girls chasing you.

I broke up a few months ago.

Now I want to find

a good and obedient girl

to spend the rest of my life with me.

Oh no.

This date sucks.

Stop.

I'm sorry.

I

am not that kind of girl you want.

We're unsuited to each other.

Then let's

not waste our time.

Goodbye.

See you.

You two, come here.

You were being absurd.

No.

Do you have a helicopter?

Can you afford a parking apron?

We were just kidding.

Why were you doing that stupid thing with him?

I couldn't stand him

showing off how much money he could make.

That's true.

What are you doing here?

You quit the job without telling us.

The basketball team needs you.

How can I

still be your basketball coach now?

You know why I came back.

For the blind date?

No, I came back to have a rest.

Recently,

so many complicated things have happened.

They're giving me a headache.

You two, go back.

I don't want to see you now.

How did you know my address?

I told them.

Grandma.

You shouldn't tell others our address easily.

What if they were bad guys?

Bad guys?

Are all the bad guys from the city so handsome?

Hello, Grandma.

I'm the captain of Xiaoxiao's basketball team.

My name is Xu Jiacheng.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Hello, Grandma.

My name is Ye Han.

We talked on the phone just now.

You're so tall.

And so handsome.

You must be tired.

Have you eaten yet?

Yes, we have.

You only had lunch, right?

Come, Xiaoxiao.

Show them around.

They are leaving soon.

Soon?

They have other things to do.

Actually,

there's nothing important to do for us now.

Right?

Yes.

He's right.

Then...

Since you have time now,

stay and have a meal with us.

Okay, Grandma.

I'll make two more dishes.

Okay.

No need

to do that.

It's for all of us.

We'll get them two more pairs of chopsticks.

Since Grandma has invited us,

we'll stay.

Thank you so much, Grandma.

You're welcome.

I'll go make more dishes.

Grandma.

Is there anything we can help with?

No, thanks.

We're young and strong.

We have a lot of strength.

You're strong.

Then there is one thing you can do.

You shouldn't have said you could help.

If I had known this,

I would've been be silent.

What are you waiting for? Go!

Why don't you do it first?

Because I

kept silent.

You got us this trouble. You go first.

Go.

Ye Han.

H-How about we just give up?

L-Let's catch a hen.

I-I think it might be easier

to catch a hen.

No.

Hens are kept to lay eggs.

Catch that rooster.

No, no, no. Ye Han.

I realize

I have a fear of chicken beaks.

I can't do this.

It's time for you

to overcome this fear.

-“Fight poison with poison”. -No, no, no.

The bigger your fear is,

the more you have to overcome it.

Bro, no, no.

[Xu Yan]

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed is not available now.

Please...

What's up?

Hey, I'm not going home tonight.

Let me tell you.

You'll have supper alone.

You're not coming home tonight?

Are you...

It's my business.

Stop gossiping, you kid.

Have a nice meal.

Bye.

[Xu Jiacheng]

Fine.

[Numbers]

[Xu Yan]

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed is powered off.

What is he doing?

I'm so bored.

Same spot. Come and have fun tonight.

He didn't answer my calls.

I'll have fun by myself.

Here.

Grandma.

Don't bother.

I'll find them a restaurant.

Your problem is still not solved.

It must have something to do with them.

The problem is there.

You can't avoid it forever.

Look.

They even came to find you.

Be brave and face it.

Grandma is here. Go.

Thank you, Grandma.

-Thank you. -You’re welcome.

Let's eat.

After you.

Okay.

You're polite.

Let's eat.

Save your affectation.

What do you think?

The chicken is really good.

Homemade chicken, good.

Yes.

Homemade dishes are always the best.

Here.

Grandma.

We'll do it ourselves.

Okay.

Grandma.

They're going to drive.

They can't drink alcohol.

You can't drink?

We can. We can drink.

Yes.

Good wine should be served with good dishes.

Yes.

Here.

Okay.

Let me welcome you, our guests from afar.

Thank you, Grandma.

You like Xiaoxiao?

Grandma.

What are you talking about?

He likes Yiwen.

Grandma, here.

So you like Xiaoxiao.

Sorry, Grandma.

Sorry.

-What are you panicking about? -I’m sorry.

Do you really like her?

Grandma.

Yes, I like her.

Good.

Cheers.

This is for Xiaoxiao.

Let's eat.

This is really good.

Are you okay?

Are you drunk?

No.

I drank

a little too much.

I need some fresh air.

Look at you.

He got so drunk.

I didn't make him drink.

He wanted to drink that much.

Because you wanted to drink. He was being polite.

Fine.

I'll make some mini rice balls with sweet rice wine.

It'll help you

sober up.

Thank you, Grandma.

You're welcome.

I need to use the bathroom.

Xiaoxiao,

I came here

because I was worried about you.

I'm sorry for making you worried.

I think

we need to

figure out

how to solve our problem.

I know.

But now,

I don't know how to face you

or Yiwen.

Sorry, I told Grandma

about you and Yiwen.

Sorry.

It's okay.

If that makes you happy,

you can tell everyone.

I should say sorry to you, Xiaoxiao.

It's not your fault.

I...

I

ignored the feelings that others might have for me.

I discovered them too late.

I hid my feelings from you.

It's not your fault.

You don't have to care about how I would feel.

When we meet,

you can choose to ignore me

if you feel awkward.

You can choose not to see me.

As long as it makes you feel easy,

just do it.

And if you need me,

I will always be there for you.

I hope you can be happy.

I'll always support you.

You're my good friend that I don't want to lose.

Got it.

Are you okay?

You're so drunk.

Not that drunk.

I'm fine.

You and my grandma

were happy when you were drinking.

You were happy too

when talking with Jiacheng just now.

How did you know?

So you didn't have a good chat?

Are you going back

to drink and feel sad again?

I wasn't sad.

I

wanted to say goodbye.

Say goodbye?

I wanted to say goodbye to my past.

Including me?

What?

Will you

say goodbye to me?

Do you know why I'm here?

I'm waiting for an answer.

You said you weren't ready to answer me.

Can you give me your answer now?

Grandma.

This can help you sober up.

You heard everything, right?

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

If I were a man,

I would pick Yiwen too.

She's pretty.

She's a lady

and she is a supermodel.

Grandma, you misunderstood.

I was kidding. I got you.

But I meant it.

To me, Yiwen

is like my granddaughter.

I thought

they were just roommates in Shanghai.

Xiaoxiao and Yiwen grew up together.

Yiwen's parents

divorced

when she was a little girl.

After the divorce,

her mother passed away.

Her father was a sailor.

He was busy with his work and not at home all the time.

He didn't have time to look after her.

She was such a poor little girl.

Luckily,

Xiaoxiao and Yiwen

have been good friends since childhood.

I took Yiwen in

and she lived with us.

I haven't heard about

these things before.

Yiwen did a good job.

She survived all the difficult days.

Seeing her have a good friend like you,

I'm really

happy for her.

Grandma.

There're some problems

between me and Yiwen.

Every couple

has problems.

As long as you like each other,

you can solve the problems together

and overcome the difficulties together.

Am I right?

Yes.

But I don't know what to do now.

She keeps ignoring me.

Follow me.

Come.

Look.

Yiwen lived in the room when she was a child.

Look at these paintings.

Yiwen drew them in her childhood.

Yiwen

has loved beautiful things since childhood.

She had deft hands.

She liked drawing so much.

She enjoyed

making clothes for dolls.

She told Xiaoxiao

when she grew up,

she would be

a fashion designer.

Her major

was also fashion design.

Look.

Before she graduated,

there was a fashion show.

The model who was supposed to wear her clothes suddenly fell sick.

And she couldn't find another model to replace the old one.

So she had to wear the clothes and finish the show herself.

She was noticed by a talent scout

who came to watch the fashion show.

So

what a remarkable coincidence!

Yes.

She did a good job.

She

worked very hard.

At first,

she was not used to walking in high heels.

In order to get used to it,

she even wore high heels at home.

Her feet

were hurt because of it.

But she never gave up.

I never heard her

complain about it

and cry because of the pain.

She wanted to look strong.

She wanted to look strong badly.

Sometimes I could see

that the pain in her feet was huge.

But she pretended it was nothing.

So...

Look.

This

was

her favorite doll.

She made a lot of clothes for the doll.

Look.

Look.

Take it

and give it to Yiwen.

Me?

Yes.

If you give it to her,

she will be happy.

Take it.

Believe me.

Jiacheng.

If you really like Yiwen,

wait for her.

Give her more time.

Okay?

I know, Grandma.

I'm waiting for an answer.

You said you weren't ready to answer me.

Can you give me your answer now?

Should I

give him my answer?

I wanted to say goodbye to my past.

Will you say goodbye

to me?

Xiaoxiao.

You get up early.

Wait a moment.

I'll make breakfast.

Don't bother.

We won't have breakfast.

Sorry for disturbing you last night.

We should go now.

Please help me say thanks to grandma.

Okay.

Come back and be our coach.

Blue Dragon needs you.

[Gorgon Cake] [Yunpian Cake] [Tangerine Peel]

How about

you go first?

What about you?

How are you going back?

I'll take the high-speed train later.

See you at the company.

See you.

Go. Hurry.

Because of the glorious sunshine,

the darkness in my heart

is disappearing.

Why are you back?

I left my coat.

No.

I left my wallet here.

Xiaoxiao, I left my wallet here.

Help me find it.

Okay.

You young man.

Have you forgot your heart here?

I found it.

I found it.

-Here. -It’s good that you found it.

Then...

Grandma.

Bye.

Xiaoxiao.

Grandma.

Half of your problem has been solved.

You need to solve the other half of the problem.

If you have something to say to him, say it.

Go.

Go.

What a nice day!

My grandma is straightforward.

Hope you don't mind.

Actually, I'm quite happy.

In my childhood,

I was always alone at home.

So it was rare for me

to have dinner with my family.

I will cherish this kind of experience.

And...

What?

I can stay with you a little longer.

I suddenly realized

when I was with you,

we experienced so many wonderful things.

Really?

We've created

a lot of wonderful memories together.

We wrote wish notes together.

Are you done?

You watched my first show where I was a model on the catwalk.

I set up a tent at your house.

Hello.

We went to Hawaii together.

I stalked you.

Now you admit that you were stalking me.

I won't forget

these wonderful memories.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you for making me so happy all the time.

So...

This is it?

This is the ending for us?

I'm sorry.

So

you've rejected me twice.

Your wish will come true soon.

Li Xiaoxiao,

don't be sad.

I should be sad.

You rejected me.

Ye Han.

Don't feel bad.

If this is your choice,

I respect it.

I hope this is a good farewell

that will get everything back to way it was at first

and give us a good start.

I won't say goodbye.

I should go now.

♫I want to say something♫

♫But I just stand there and stare for a long time♫

♫Maybe I don't want to leave♫

♫It still hurts♫

♫Looking back♫

♫I feel so much warmth again♫

♫I'll be with you♫

♫I'll see this through♫

♫If we can notice all the considerations♫

♫At the intersection of time♫

♫Let's not lose each other again♫

Replace

this one.

[IN WORK]

There.

Do it again.

Nice photo.

Yes.

Introduce the photographer to me.

No problem.

And this photo of mine was also taken by him.

This one looks good too.

Is that Tong Yiwen?

It seems to be her.

No way.

A supermodel like her

came for the group interview?

She's just a has-been.

Are you sure you want to do this?

This means you'll start over.

Many eyes will be watching you.

They'll say mean words behind your back.

She is over 30.

Why is she here preparing for the interview?

She must think she's as good as she was ten years ago.

Number 32 to Number 35, come in.

Didn't you buy an apartment before getting married?

You can just move in.

It was rented.

I signed a five-year tenancy agreement with the tenant last year.

If I ask him to move out,

I'll breach the agreement.

Ye Han and I have spare rooms in our apartments.

You don't need to live in a hotel.

Xu Yan just hates you two.

He hates us? Why doesn't he hate you?

Do you have a spare room in your apartment?

I do.

And Yun is also there.

Do you want to come?

Don't exaggerate.

I'm fine staying in a hotel.

But,

your friends have spare rooms.

Why do you still want to live in a hotel?

You are wasting your money.

Xu Yan.

Go to Jiacheng's place.

Yes.

You can live in my apartment.

Don't bother.

It's more convenient for me to live in a hotel.

By the way,

Jialin is at my place.

Are you okay with that?
