[Episode 23]

There's a call for you.

Hello.

Old Xia.

When will the two kids meet?

Didn't they meet yesterday?

Yesterday?

That young lady was with me yesterday.

Did he meet someone else?

Darned brat.

- Hey, Aunty. - Dayu?

- Where are you headed? - I'm going on a stroll with the bird.

Xia Yao ditched his bird for a blind date.

A-A blind date?

His dad introduced someone to him. Let's chat inside.

Nah, it's fine, Aunty. I... need to leave.

Let's leave together.

Okay.

Come on.

Dang, such bad luck.

Why is it so jammed up today?

Oh, hello.

- What's going on in there? - There's a temple fair in there.

A temple fair?

Come and have a look!

Low prices!

Cheap buys!

Come and take a look!

Authentic goods! Real stuff!

Pillows at a cheap price!

So pretty.

Want one? Cheap linen pillows!

- Look at its craftsmanship. - How much is this?

It's made really well.

Impressive!

Pillows! Pillows!

Take a look!

Amazing!

Damn!

That's so awesome!

Nice!

Amazing! So magical!

Wow! Damn!

My performance has ended! Thank you!

Great!

Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome Mr. Magic Beans with a round of applause!

Show us something!

He has a pair of magical hands that can conjure anything you desire.

I'm very happy that you're here today to watch my magic show!

Let's get the show running!

I have tons of treasures here.

I have a cup.

Look closely. This is an empty cup.

An ordinary cup, right? It's empty, right?

Abracadabra!

Wow!

I'll conjure something else.

Isn't that just a red napkin?

- Yes, this is just an ordinary red napkin. - Yeah.

- Nothing special about it, right? - Yeah!

Okay, look closely.

Wow!

I'll conjure something else!

- Something more impressive! - Okay!

Look very closely!

- I'm not holding anything, right? - Yeah!

Okay.

Abracadabra!

Wow!

- Give it to me! - Cheer for me!

Give it to me!

- I'm hungry! - Yeah!

- You're hungry, right? -Yeah.

Excellent! Next up, I'll fill your stomach!

I'll make food appear, okay?

- My goodness! - Is that possible?

I'll roll up my sleeves.

- I'm not hiding anything, right? - Yeah!

Look closely!

Abracadabra!

Wow!

- Does anyone want this? - Me!

Kids, don't blink. My. Magic Beans can't just make food appear.

He can make toys appear too!

- Toys? - He can make toys appear?

Okay, keep your eyes on me.

Abracadabra!

Wow!

- Who wants this? - Me!

Whose cheering is the loudest?

Over here!

I want the big one. The big one.

- One more! - Hey, why are you leaving?

I didn't know you could make things appear.

I thought you could only make things disappear.

Don't talk like that.

How many days have you been working?

From... the day the temple fair started.

When are you planning to stop?

I'll work until the temple fair ends. Isn't that obvious?

Okay, that's pretty good.

You're having a fulfilling new year.

Oh, I can't chat with you. I have to get ready.

- Nice! - Sweet!

Wow!

- Aren't you leaving? - I'm leaving soon.

Why haven't you ended work?

It's still early. I still have a night shift.

How much do they pay you per shift?

Around ¥3,000 a day.

How about this?

I'll pay you ¥30,000.

Go drinking with me.

If I knew you'd say this, I would've said ¥5,000.

Deal. I'll get off work.

My parents are abroad.

You're always wandering about too.

What's so bad about spending the new year together?

We only have accommodations when we work the night shift.

So, I have no place to stay tonight.

Can I crash here for a night?

Sure, whatever. Just stay away from my room.

But I'm scared of sleeping alone.

What? You aren't even scared of smashing your head into the ground.

Why are you scared of sleeping alone?

But, I'm really scared.

The hospital lobby or the train station is better than renting a place alone.

You know what?

That old lady hanged herself.

She hanged herself on her grandson's doorframe.

Sleep wherever you want to.

Big bro Dayu.

Big bro Dayu.

Big bro Dayu.

Big bro Dayu. You gave me 20,000 yuan. (around $3,200 U.S. dollars)

Should I serve you?

Get lost!

Big bro Dayu. Why don't we do this?

If you spend 30,000 yuan (around $4,7000 U.S. dollars) to "take care" of me

I promise that I'll take care of your needs to your satisfaction.

(In Chinese, to 'take care of' usually has a sexual connotation.)

So, I would spend 30,000 yuan each month to take care of someone like you?

Do I look crazy to you?

I can do anything.

Believe it or not, I'll spank you if you continue with your nonsense.

Seems like this guy's really worn out.

You gave me too much.

¥10,000 is a new year gift.

The other ¥10,000 is to treat your scar.

Bro, you're filthy rich.

Hey, what's your family business?

Don't be nosy.

Think this through.

I'm shameless. I'll take whatever money you give me.

I won't feel grateful, and I might even laugh at your stupidity.

I just need you to keep mum about this.

Why?

I won't be humiliated by you.

Are you sure you don't want to be my sugar daddy?

Get lost.

My conscience is clear.

I feel much more at ease.

We're strangers from now on.

My brother comes banging on my door if I'm not up by 7 o'clock.

It's already so late. Why is he so quiet today?

Brother, why aren't you up yet?

Brother!

That's odd. He never locks his door when he sleeps.

Could it be...

That's impossible. Poor village girls can't possibly captivate my brother.

Brother, why are you...

Why... why... why is he...

I'm not dreaming, right?

So freaking noisy!

- What are you doing? - I want proof.

I need to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Brother, when did he come here?

Last night.

Last night? Did you two agree on this?

I don't know where this kid popped up from.

Xia Yao.

Xia Yao. Who were you planning to surprise?

I'm here to travel.

What's wrong? Feeling shy?

Smells amazing.

Delicious! The flavor is so rich!

Why are you staring at him?

This tastes great too! It's so fragrant!

I want to eat that meatball too.

Sure. If you can catch it, I'll toss it to you.

Okay.

- Ready? - Yeah.

Three.

Two.
