[Episode 22]

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm exhausted.

What did you do?

I was out having fun for the whole day.

Well, head to bed.

What's wrong with you? Why didn't you knock before entering?

What are you staring at? Go away!

Are you done staring?

Get out.

I'm warning you. Peng Ze is out buying things.

He'll be back soon. If you're so stubborn, I'll tell him.

Don't blame me for ruining your friendship. I...

Peng Ze! Peng Ze! Help! Your friend is crazy!

- Peng Ze! - Kiddo.

Xia Yao, what are you doing? What's going on?

Peng Ze, don't stand there! Help me!

Oh, Xia Yao!

Xia Yao!

Xia Yao! Let go!

Peng Ze, you're so useless! All you do is brag to me!

Hold on, this is my friend! H-He's the best fighter among all three of us.

Even if Xuan Dayu and I join forces, we can't beat him.

- Xia Yao! - Get lost!

Xia Yao! Vent your anger on me!

He's too frail to stand your beating! Hit me!

Did you ever have phone sex with a guy?

What nonsense are you spouting?

Eight years ago, did you have phone sex with a guy?

Eight years ago? I can't remember stuff about myself from that long ago!

Why are you so certain about my sex life?

Wait, what's this about eight years ago?

You're the one! I'm sure of this!

Your legs are so girly!

Wait! Xia Yao!

Eight years ago, he was only 13 years old! How could he have phone sex with you?!

I want to rant to someone.

But I'll just be a laughingstock if others hear about this.

No one will understand the trauma this left me.

If this incident were to be made public,

he's probably the only person who wouldn't laught at me.

- Hello. - Hello.

- I want to tell you something. - Yeah?

- Eight years ago,

I did something very stupid.

That's basically... what happened.

Is that all?

Yeah.

You...

Don't make guesses based on what you see.

You have to consider if such an act is in line with their personality.

One's personality is formed once they're an adult.

Some things aren't possible for everyone.

All right. Don't let your mind wander. Go to bed.

Okay. Good night.

Put your leg down.

How unruly.

Do you remember what I told you before I left on new year's day?

- What was it? - What do you think?

I said that if you're still single when I got back, I'll be taking measures.

What measures?

Useless fool.

Why are you relying on your dad for your love life?

I've selected a good lady for you.

She's a decent one. Find a time to meet her.

I'm not going.

Listen up. You have to meet her no matter what.

I've spoken to your superior and applied for a week's leave for you.

This week, spend time with her.

Don't bother about anything else.

- You've helped me apply for leave? - Yeah.

Seven days. Seven days.

Who is it?

I'm your dad!

Why is a man like you so concerned about being pretty?

You don't get it.

Why haven't you contacted the girl I introduced to you?

Can't you see the scar on my face?

It's our first meeting. I want to leave a good impression.

A scar on your face? Where?

How is that a scar? I can't even see it with a magnifying glass.

You're the only one bothered by it. No one else will notice.

You can't see it, but others will notice.

Troublesome.

What's wrong? Why are you sighing?

This kid is too sensitive.

He's a man. Why is he so concerned about grooming himself?

That's a good thing. It means he's trying hard.

That's true.

Yesterday, I saw him rummage through his clothes.

He was picking through them.

This time, he's probably taking it very seriously.

Yeah.

Xia Yao.

Why is our son missing so early in the morning?

I saw him leave with a huge bag.

He's probably on a date with that lady.

- A large bag? - Yeah.

He must've brought along many gifts.

I can't call him.

I need surprise him.

There's no signal.

I don't know what to do.

I should get moving.

Keep going.

Keep going.

Keep going.

If I pass out on the road, I'll definitely freeze to death.

I don't know what to do.

Let's go.

Wu!

Time to settle our debts!

If you don't explain yourself clearly today,

- only one of us can leave here alive! - Hey!

Let's watch this.

What's so nice about this?

Were you looking for me?

Oh, nope. I was told you were looking for me.

I think you should look for me...

It's so late. Why isn't our darned son home?

I bet he's shopping with that lady. Shopping malls don't close during the new year.

Some youngsters even shop late into the night.

I couldn't even get through to his phone.

His phone always runs out of battery at this time. Don't worry about him.

Aren't you leaving tomorrow? Go and pack your things.

Hurry up and pack your things.

Didn't he say he moved?

He actually moved to a shitty place like this?

Did he live in some kind of mountain village before?

Hey, hey, hey!

Uncle, uncle, uncle.

Can I ask you something?

Do you know where the old village is?

The old village?

Go straight east, you'll be there after passing a couple villages.

It's quite far from here.

Thank you.

Hey! Young man, east is that way.

Oh. Thank you, uncle.

Hey, Auntie! Auntie!

Auntie. Do you know where Yuan Zong lives?

Who are you?

I'm his friend. I'm here to wish him a happy new year.

Oh, walk straight. There's a sign up ahead. - A sign?

- Turn left. - Turn left.

Walk 500 meters or so and then turn right.

- It's the second house you see. - The second house. Thank you.

The second house.

Am I supposed to turn left or right?

Damn it.

Let's continue next time. It's getting too late.

- I'm heading home. - Rest early!

- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

Great! Finally, some humans!

Mister, can I ask you something?

Do you know where Yuan Zong lives?

Yuan Zong! Someone's looking for you!

How did you get all the way here?

Hurry. Take me to the restroom. I can't hold it anymore.

Why didn't you take care of it on your way here?

I was hoping the urine would keep me warm.

Hurry, hurry.

Where is the restroom?

It's inside.
