[Advance Bravely]

[Episode 7]

Focus! Throw forceful punches!

So, he's Xia Yao.

What?

Wow, he's so handsome.

Yes, he signed up yesterday.

I've been watching him the whole time.

He's quite the handsome guy.

Wow, Miss Yuan has great taste.

A real gift from the heavens. All right, back to training.

Up next, you'll be undergoing a ten-minute kidnapping exercise.

When I blow my whistle, turn around immediately and grab the piece of cloth.

After that, find any opponent and tie him up.

Remember this.

You're forbidden from attacking your opponent's joints and vital organs.

You're allowed to use other methods to subdue your opponent.

- Understood? - Yes, Sir!

Stop yanking!

- What are you doing? - He's yanking my shirt!

You promised me yesterday.

You said you'd undergo the same training as these bodyguards.

Listen up.

As a bodyguard, you have to sacrifice your dignity!

Your employer's safety is top priority!

Your dignity is secondary!

I'm harsher on you because you're Chief Instructor Yuan's brother-in-law.

- Who the hell is his brother-in-law? - I don't care!

Since President Yuan permitted your attendance to this training camp, it means he approves of you.

Move it!

Xia Yao! What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Get moving!

What are you doing?

He kicked me first!

I don't care!

You're Chief Instructor Yuan's brother-in-law!

That's why you're getting special treatment!

Get moving!

Faster!

All of you! Faster!

Move it!

Xia Yao! Move those limbs!

We'll call it a day. You're dismissed.

Xia Yao, stay back.

Stand here for an hour as punishment.

Why?

Because you're Chief Instructor Yuan's brother-in-law.

In order to elevate Chief Instructor Yuan's reputation as an impartial man,

you will require special attention.

I'll make this clear!

I'm not related to him in any way!

I came here to improve myself!

Another hour for talking back to your instructor!

Why didn't I see President Yuan today?

I don't know. Did he head out?

No, he's been in his office the entire time.

That's unlike him.

All right.

In the video we just watched, each move and technique were explained clearly.

In the field,

keen observation and swift judgment will help you locate an enemy's weakness in the shortest time.

Only then can you subdue your opponent successfully.

All right, our lesson ends here today.

You're dismissed.

Hey, Xia Yao. President Yuan wants you in his office.

Okay.

Do I eat these or not?

Xia Yao, what are you doing?

President Yuan called me over.

Your brother-in-law sure went to the extent for you.

He's pulling such tricks to train your willpower.

President Yuan.

Your brother-in-law is impressive. He resisted the temptation.

Brother, training ended really early today.

It's not done yet. They've just gone to shower and change.

Shower?

Does that include Xia Yao?

Of course, he's part of the training.

Xia Yao...

Hold on.

He's not taking the shower in the common bathroom with the rest, is he?

No...

Yao Yao's body is a national treasure.

How can those guys feast their eyes on him?

Brother, hear me out.

Don't think it's fine just because they're all guys.

When it comes to Xia Yao, no logic applies!

Women aren't the only threats.

Even men have to be kept at a distance.

Xia Yao's charms work on both genders!

That's why... I can't manage it all alone.

Brother, you have to help me.

Hey.

President Yuan prepared a private bathroom for you. Come with me.

Where are you going?

Special treatment again?

President Yuan's reputation as a just and fair man can't be tarnished by you!

Don't try to be a smartass.

Ignore him. Let's shower in the common bathroom.

Hey!

Why are you showering with a towel?

We're all guys. We have what you have.

What's this nonsense?

Enough with the ruckus!

Why are you still strict with us in the bathroom?

This never happened before.

Your training has been tough lately.

The results of such training are evident.

However, there are also areas of improvement.

This applies especially to the training of newcomers.

You can't lower your standards of someone because he's new.

Instructor Shi has done excellently in this aspect.

He views all trainees equally and does his duties to the best of his abilities.

I'm pleased with his performance.

Instructor Shi should be your role model.

- Thank you, Accountant Pu. - You're welcome.

Th-This isn't right.

My monthly bonus should be ¥5,000.

You only gave me ¥2,000.

It's right. I checked again, and it's ¥2,000.

Why?

President Yuan, what's going on?

I didn't violate any rules.

And I didn't leave early or come late.

Moreover, you just praised me this morning.

Why did I...

My praise is the reason.

Every word is worth its weight in gold, got it?

I showered you with praises.

That should've been worth ¥3,000.

Dayu!

We haven't met for ages! Didn't you miss me?

Of course, I missed you. I've been looking for you.

You didn't even tell us when you were leaving. Not even a call.

Bullshit, it's been years.

If you wanted to meet me, you would have found me ages go.

Come on.

Hey, you weren't this fair during our school days.

Why are you getting more youthful by the day?

I take good care of myself.

Tell me the truth...

You know what? He's vegetarian.

Get lost. Don't spout nonsense.

Not bad. By the way...

Why didn't you bring your girl?

I don't have one.

Girls should be swarming you. How can you be single?

It's not that he's on a break, he never had one.

For so many years, he's been enjoying his bachelorhood as a prince.

He takes his bird on strolls by the river every day.

When a babe tries to woo him, he doesn't even spare her a glance.

What a virtuous man.

That's strange.

When we were in school, he was the most eager one.

He was just a kid when he tried to hit on girls and lift their skirts.

- Exactly! - Didn't he do all that?

He was just being a hooligan.

Let's drink!

- Cheers, hooligan. - If you don't drink till you drop,

don't think about leaving! Your drinks are on me!

- Drink up! - You know what? I really needed someone to pick up my tab.

I'll let you pay for us today.

Nothing scares me in Guanghua Street. Bottoms up.

- How are your parents? - Same old.

His dad was recently transferred to another province.

Transferred? When did that happen?

Two years ago.

So, do you just stay with your mom?

No, I only head back home during the long holidays.

When my dad returns to Beijing for meetings, he'll stay at home for a few nights.

He comes back once or twice every month.

Hey, Dayu.

Why did your family move away so quickly back then?

Right.

My family... had some issues.

- Actually, I still don't quite understand what happened. - Forget it.

- Drink up. - Let's drink

Come on.

Such terrible dancing.

I'll give them a show.

Is he really single?

Yes, he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Everyone in his company calls him Venerable Monk Xia!

- Venerable Monk Xia? - Namo Amitabha. (The Buddha of comprehensive love)

Come on, let's have a drink.

Venerable Monk?

Look, he's having the time of his life.

Can you two keep your distance?
