[Episode 24]

I want to eat that meatball too.

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

- Ready? - Yeah.

Three. Two. One.

You're so mean!

Xia Yao!

You did that on purpose! You didn't look where you were tossing! - One more.

No! No more!

Where the heck are you?

In the northeast.

Why are you there when it's so cold?

Hey, what's going on? Did you really fall in love with that northeastern babe?

No way.

Call him back here.

Okay.

Xia Yao! What are you doing here?

- Is that woman looking for you? - If you don't go in, the food will be cold.

I'm hanging up. I need to eat. Bye-bye.

- What are you doing? - Going into the house.

Can't you see that I'm heading out?

Go on. I'll be fine even if I'm here alone. Don't worry.

Wait.

Who do you think you are? I'm not worried about you.

Is this your home? Do you think you can come and go as you please?

- I'm here to spend the holidays with you. - What holidays?

Lantern Festival. Have you forgotten that it's the 15th of the first lunar month?

I didn't forget the date, but I don't remember agreeing to spend it with you.

Hey, have you forgotten? It was the fifth or the sixth of the new year.

You said you wanted to spend the new year with me.

I was talking about that one day. I didn't agree to spend today with you.

We already spent that day together. Why not today?

We already spent the new year together then. Why must we be together today?

That's because we spent that day together.

Stop dawdling. Get out of here.

How can someone be like you?

I even canceled my performance at the temple fair. The wage today is supposed to be doubled.

I sacrificed so much to spend time with you.

What has your decision got to do with me? Did I force you to quit?

But, look! I even bought the glutinous rice balls! It's a waste not to eat them.

Where the heck are you going during the new year?

Come on.

Hurry up and cook the rice balls. Leave once you're done eating.

Okay.

Is it that delicious? Aren't you sick of how sweet it is?

Nope, I've always loved glutinous rice balls.

My grandma used to make them. Hers were so much yummier than these.

Let's hang out in the afternoon.

Nah.

Fine, I'll entertain myself.

What's so fun about being alone?

Why can't I have fun alone? All my life, I've had fun alone.

What nonsense. The streets are filled with so many people. Not everyone can have a companion.

That's true. I went to the temple fair alone.

Everyone has their odd moments.

Fine. I'll hang out with you.

Joyrides, hitting on girls, or clubs. Pick whatever you want.

I'll pay.

Wow, it's so crowded.

Please make way.

Hey!

I don't get it. You're here all the time.

Why are you back here when you're free of work?

I'm here all the time, but I've never shopped for things.

Whenever I perform, my greatest wish is to join the crowd watching the show.

I want to cheer and vie for gifts. Isn't it fun?

Come over here.

You're so useless.

This is so fun.

Hit something.

That's for you.

Wow.

I bought it for ¥47,000. If you want to sell it, you can raise the price.

What the heck is your family business? Why are you so rich?

Don't be nosy.

Who's richer? You or Xia Yao?

My family can't be compared to his.

Huh? B-But why does Xia Yao look so poor?

Some things can't be measured by money.

I'd rather grovel and lick someone else's boots just to drive a luxury car.

You're so useless.

This is so pretty. Is this really gold?

Wang Zhishui, why are you such a bumpkin?

- Give it to me. - It's really gold.

I'm taking it back. I won't give it to you.

It's a gift for me. You can't take it back.

I've never seen such a loser like you.

Take a look! Cheap prices!

- How much is this? - ¥5.

What's this?

- Come and take a look. - ¥5 for one!

¥10 for three. Take a look.

- Buy one! - I'll give you a discount. Don't go.

Want to play this? It's a roller coaster. - Nah, it's not fun.

- It's thrilling. - Come on! Come over and take a look!

- ¥5 for one! ¥5 for one! - Hello! Take a look!

Cheap prices!

Let's go.

Look at that.

- How much is this? - ¥6.

¥6.

- Buy one. - Take a look!

- Come over here! - ¥5 for one! ¥5 for one!

Childish.

¥10 for three. Take a look.

Buy one. I'll give you a discount! Don't go!

Take a look! Cheap prices!

Hey. Do you want cotton candy?

Yeah, I want some. I want that.

- Stickers for sale! ¥13 for three! - Hey!

I want this giant mushroom plush toy!

Come and have a look!

Sir, how much is this?

¥10 for ten bullets.

If you hit the target five times, you can pick whatever you want.

Take it.

- You're awesome! - Hey, sir!

You haven't paid for the game!

Pretty miss, can you take a picture for us?

Sure.

Thank you.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I want to take a picture carrying you. Hurry.

Hurry.

Come on.

- It's fine. You can go home. - I'll walk you in.

Nah, you should leave.

You don't have to walk me in. Go home.

Go back.

- Come on. - I don't need you to walk me in.

This is good enough. Get going.

- It's fine. - Go on home. Come on.

Darned rascal! How dare you come back!

Come on in!

Mom! Ouch! Mom! Mom!

My friend is here! Don't embarrass me!

You don't want to be embarrassed? You don't deserve any mercy after what you did!

Aunty, I made Xia Yao come over. I had a family emergency and needed his help.

I'm sorry for not informing you earlier.

Can't he tell me? A call won't take up much of your time!

He's just bent on rebelling! He doesn't want to go for the blind date!

- Blind date? - I'll...

Aunty, I really made him come over.

He called me to ask for a few more days of leave, but I was lacking manpower.

I called him in on short notice. It's my fault that he didn't tell you.

Mom, look. I bought sausages from Harbin for you.

His family made these themselves. Look at this. Smoked meat.

Weren't you complaining that we didn't receive any this year? He made these for you.

Smell it. It's definitely as good as the stuff we received.

Yuan Zong, did you really make these?

Mom, I even brought this back for you. The most authentic mountain delicacies from the northeast.

They're great for making soup and braising meat.

I even brought back ginseng and antlers.

All the best stuff from the northeast are here.

All right, fine. Tell me before you leave next time.

If you pull this nonsense again, I'll twist your ears off. Got it?

Yuan Zong, come over here. Make yourself at home. Here, have a seat.

Does your ear still hurt?

It doesn't, but it's burning.

You're a grown man. Why does your mom still punish you?

An old woman like her is probably lonely.

What's up with the blind date?

During the new year, my dad set up a blind date for me. He wants me to meet her.

And after that?

After that, nothing happened.

Are you still planning to meet her?

Do you think I should see her or not?

That's your decision.

Fragrant, right?

Hey, did that guy really make this smoked meat himself?

Gosh, he doesn't look like he can cook.

You're very wrong.

He doesn't just cook, but he's a great chef.

The lotus root with glutinous rice you love

wasn't bought, but made by him.

Really? He's that impressive?

Of course.

What a good lad.

His wife will have such a great life.

Why are you grinning? I want you to learn from him!

The number you have called is unavailable.

The number you have called is unavailable.

That's strange.

Why can't I get through to his phone?

Where is this kid?

- Yao'er, what is it? - Hey.

Do you know where Dayu went?

No clue. I haven't been in touch with him for ages.

What's up? I can ask around if you're looking for him.

It's fine. I'll look for him.

Okay.

Why are you here?

I've been looking for you for days. Why didn't you pick up my calls?

I also spent days looking for you. Did you pick up my calls?

- I was in the northeast. - Don't talk about that.

I don't want to hear a word.

Are you really angry?

I've hardened my heart and erased all longing.

Must you be so dramatic?

I just didn't pick up your calls or chat with you.

Xia Yao, listen up. This isn't just about the phone calls.

What's my place in your heart? What do you mean to me?

Reflect on this yourself.

You've been hiding all kinds of secrets. You should be well aware of that.

Loaded Xuan!

Mr. Xuan! Rich Xuan!

Xuan...

Why are you here?

I went to look for a famous store selling sour and spicy noodles.

The two bowls I ate yesterday weren't enough, so I went to buy more today.

I brought them here for you to try.

Try it. I guarantee that it's spicy, sour, and flavorful.

If you like rich tastes, I have two extra packets of vinegar.

Bastard!
