[A Romance of the Little Forest]

[Episode 28] [I owe... owe you a word "I like you".]

Grandma, when was this roof repaired?

It was fixed by Jin and Zhou in the past two days.

Jin Xi?

He can fix this?

Jin is very nice to you.

But you're always cold to him.

I didn't help with the cooking that day.

Then he found there was a leak in our roof.

He got up there and replaced the old tiles with Zhou without saying a word.

He fixed it as good as new.

It's so high up there.

He's not the kind of person who can do that.

Yeah. That's exactly what I said.

But he did it. He asked me not to tell you.

But you don't see it yourself.

It's so beautiful.

What's wrong?

Nice.

Idiot!

I'm checking the contract.

I think there are some problems with two things.

His payment method is not right.

We've been waiting for two and a half hours.

Do you think I'm corn?

Why do people always stand me up?

Why don't you answer me?

Maybe... it's because there's a problem with the English name you call yourself.

The English name?

Corn poppy.

Little corn. Did you forget it?

Boring.

What... what... You... you...

No... come on. I don't hit you that hard.

- The beard. - What happened to it?

- It fell off. - It shouldn't. Let me see.

It's pretty tight, isn't it?

Maybe it's loose because you just touched it.

Here. Sit and rest.

I guess Boss Wang should be calling me any minute.

Don't lie.

[Boss Wang]

We're not in danger, aren't we?

Don't worry. I got it handled.

Could you tell me how you handle it?

A folding knife.

Isn't it for cutting fruit in the wild investigation?

Why do you carry it with you?

For getting the second brother fruit to eat.

It's for you.

For me?

I can't let you repair the roof for nothing.

- Grandma. - Come on. Sit.

- Grandma, Tiantian gave it to me. - It's from her?

- Sweet? - Yes.

Come on, you don't even taste it.

It's from you. It must be sweet.

You can only say some sweet words.

Here.

Why are you looking at me? Eat.

Eat.

Tiantian.

Do you want...

No, I don't want it. It doesn't look delicious.

Are you sure you don't want it?

What? Do you still want to wait here?

Of course not.

Professor Zhuang, could you show it soon if you have any good plans?

Here's the good plan.

This is not an ordinary compressed cookie.

Then what's it?

Could it be the ginseng fruit cookie Zhuang Wukong brought?

Boss Wang will come if you eat it.

Are you hallucinating from hunger?

Why don't you eat it?

You'll see him after you eat it.

Does your beard have some magic power?

Why do I feel you keep lying when you put it on?

You'll know if I'm lying after you eat it.

You can't see him until you finish it.

You're kidding me.

- Where's he? - You're full?

What's it got to do with Boss Wang's coming?

I'm relieved if you're full.

Why?

Honey.

Honey, what's wrong? Wake up! Don't scare me.

We're not doing the business. We weren't bullied like that.

11 o'clock.

Don't look. It's the outer wall at 11 o'clock.

There's no glass by the wall but a reflection.

They should be there.

I'm here. I won't let you suffer anything.

Let's go.

I'm really sorry.

The situation is tense lately.

I have to be cautious.

Please don't blame me.

Boss Wang, I don't care if you're cautious.

My wife just almost passed out from heatstroke.

If something happens, can you be responsible?

Come on, Boss Yan.

I fear those dubious people would follow you.

It's not good for you, let alone us. Right?

Alright. Which one of you will go to get the goods with me?

- Me. - Me.

Boss Wang, what do you mean?

You want live ones.

How could I bring live ones here?

- I'll go with you. - Just the usual.

I'm sorry.

Come on, Boss Yan.

A knife for self-defense when I'm out.

Boss Yan, you're cautious.

But don't worry. Our place is very safe.

And you'll be escorted along the way.

I think you can just leave it to Boss Hua.

I know. Bargaining.

Trust me. I can do it.

Come here.

Zhuang Yu, this is serious.

We had a deal. Safety is first. Do you forget it?

No, I don't.

As I said, I'd do whatever you wanted to do for you.

Please, no.

This is my business.

You don't owe me anything.

I owe...

owe you a word that's "I like you".

I'll say it to you seriously when I come back.

Boss Hua, do you want to go yourself to make sure it's safe?

Boss Wang, what's your place?

Do you fear we won't leave if we go there?

I just fear we can't take good care of you if you both go.

Boss Wang...

Boss Wang, you're kidding.

We're here to do business, not to be your guests.

The best care for us is to let us get the goods smoothly.

So, I'll go with you.

Take care of yourself.

♫ The stars are avoiding the moonlight ♫

♫ We stop holding our hands ♫

♫ Maybe we won't be disappointed when we forget the wish ♫

Have you worked it out?

I always appreciate peace in business.

I've never forced a sale.

It's not too late for you to regret it.

Come on, Boss Wang.

We'll do the business and we have to do it well.

My wife hasn't left me since she got pregnant.

So, I have to tell her something.

♫ I want to keep our time so badly ♫

♫ If I can pretend ♫

♫ pretend that I'm very happy ♫

♫ Tell a lie ♫

♫ and keep that lost starlight ♫

♫ I want to stand by you ♫

♫ leaning on your shoulder ♫

Wait for me...

♫ I want to keep our time ♫

Wait for me and I'll say it to you.

♫ I don't want to pretend anymore ♫

♫ It's my happiest moment ♫

♫ to see the starlight with you ♫

Give me some of this.

All units, wrap it up now!

Just got word that Boss Wang shows up.

They took a hostage. Go to save him first.

What about the other group?

Let another unit catch them in advance.

Have you caught them?

We've destroyed a nest.

But it's not Boss Wang's lair.

He's not here.

Get them under control.

Don't let them tip off so as not to alert him.

I'm going to save the hostage.

Okay.

Wei, Yunhai.

Arrange sentries to check suspicious people when you get to the brick factory.

Tiantian, can you accompany me to someplace today?

It's in the village.

It won't take you too long.

Where's the fun in the village?

I'm sure you've never been to that place.

It's mysterious.

Is there any place I don't know about the village?

The old place has been renovated.

It's still warm. It smells good.

Strange.

Where's he?

[Unknown caller]

Hello?

It's Zhou.

Mr. Zhou.

Something came up.

President Jin asked me to tell you he couldn't make it.

He's not coming?

Well, could I ask...

No, it's his personal schedule.

Okay, forget it.

Miss Li sounds unhappy anyway.

Do you think it's okay for us to say that?

It's fine. Just say that.

Why not I explain to Miss. Li?

No need.

But she...

Just drive.

We've already received a tip that Boss Wang would trade today.

I didn't expect it to be you.

Do you know it's dangerous for you to do that?

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I was eager to save the birds. I dragged Zhuang Yu into it.

We can't keep waiting like this.

Captain Wang, shall we expand the search area?

We don't know the location of Boss Wang's nest yet.

I'm afraid we can't find the place even with more guys

but will alert the enemy.

[Click to turn it off]

It's a long drive.

Boss Yan, you were up early. You must be tired.

Why don't you rest your eyes?

Boss Wang, that's thoughtful of you.

But... it's too hot in this car.

Can you open the windows to get some air?

Yeah, sorry, I didn't think about that.

Of course. You should have said it earlier.

The air out here is not good.

Let's turn on the AC. It's good to enjoy it.

What's the smell? Can you smell it?

- It stinks! - What's it?

Where's it from?

What's it?

I don't know.

Uh.

Wang, it seems to come from the AC.

Open the windows.

Sorry, Boss Yan.

What's this?

A gift that I didn't have time to give yesterday.

Professor Zhuang, do you have girls in Baiyuan,

so you have to send gifts around?

Yes, there's a girl.

I have to give it to her in person.

I wish you two a happy marriage.

That girl is not very good-tempered.

She always likes to frown.

Don't talk nonsense.

Tell me, what's it?

I gave her flowers without perfume yesterday.

It's said that wildflowers are always prettier.

Professor Zhuang, you can't even smell wildflowers.

Is your nose not working?

It seems I'm like entering a room full of fragrant orchids

and getting used to the sweet smell.

What do you need perfume for?

To educate your smell?

Not yet.

Professor Zhuang, you're not an excellent scholar.

This... this smell doesn't... doesn't match that.

Only... only Vileplumer deserves it.

This is Indole Solution, 100 millimoles per liter.

Skatole?

Dilute it to one millimole per liter, and it'll be the flowery smell.

Jasmine.

Why do you choose this scent?

Because someone likes it.

You'd better be careful.

If you spill it, it'd smoke ten of Boss Wang out.

Wang, what's wrong with the AC?

It's been a while. Why doesn't the smell go away?

Boss Wang.

How long will we be there?

The sun is going down if we keep driving.

Boss Yan, easy.

You'll know it's worth the trip when you see the goods.

Of course.

You've prepared it so well.

The goods must be great.

But... if I go back late,

my wife will be anxious.

Boss Yan.

Boss Yan.

Here we are?

Sorry.

It's rough to go up the mountain.

Bear with us.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Please.

Boss Yan, the road up to the mountain is narrower.

The car can't get up there.

You got to walk.

The sun is bright up there.

Boss Wang, that's thoughtful of you.

After all, you're our guest.

Please.

- I've confirmed there were no followers. - Got it.

Boss Yan.

The hill is muddy.

Watch your step.

It's nothing.

If the deal is done, a broken pair of shoes is nothing.

Boss Yan, you're from a big city.

You've seen more of the world.

Guangzhou is really a good place.

If not for the business, we wouldn't have stayed here.

Boss Wang, you're joking.

You know it rains several months a year in Guangzhou.

It's too wet to live when the continuous humid weather comes.

My wife likes the climate of Baiyuan.

The weather is nice in Baiyuan.

Summer is long.

Like the last two days, it rained, and it stopped soon.

We can't wait, Captain Wang.

Another half hour has passed.

Yu, take it easy.

We have a second plan.

This message is written in the character description.

Did you forget it?

Here.

What's it?

Lucky Star.

Here you are.

The goods?

The goods are all ready.

Excuse me, where can I take a leak?

Take Boss Yan to the toilet.

Here?

There's no curtain?

Cut the crap.

Hurry up!

Would you leave me, please?

Officer Wang, it's been an hour and a half.

We're a couple.

They shouldn't suspect anything if I call him now, right?

You're right.

It's useless to wait here.

It's bad for the arrest and it might affect his safety.

Call him.

Hold on.

However, there's only one chance.

If you reveal yourself...

Don't worry, I'm ready.

[Honey]

[No signal]

What are you doing?

Are you here to pee?

No, so many of you are watching me. I feel embarrassed.

Forget it. Let's go back.

Sorry. The number you have dialed is not available.

Please try again later.

Could they be in the mountains?

Look.

Baiyuan is surrounded by hills.

Wherever there are men, there will be signal towers.

Only these places have no resident population.

Since we can't get through on his phone,

he'll find a way to call us back.

Check the goods first.

Okay.

That's all?

No, there's more.

How?

It's worth the trip.

Boss Yan, how much do you think they're worth?

Money.

This is the last contingency he left.

The money in the suitcase is just for show.

If we want to get in touch with him,

sending money to him is the best excuse.

Boss Wang, are you satisfied with the price?

Boss Yan, it depends on your sincerity.

That's the first time we deal with each other.

Boss Wang, you don't trust me.

I also have some reservations about you.

What do you mean?

Boss Wang.

Business is business. It's the first time we made a deal.

This is your territory.

And I'm surrounded by your men.

We're all out to do business.

If I don't leave myself an out, then I'd be manipulated.

So, what's your plan, Boss Yan?

Only two ways to get money.

Either we deliver it or they come and get it.

The rest of the money is with my wife.

I took a few guys with me for this deal.

Tell me the exact location. I'll let them send the money here.

But Boss Wang won't agree.

Well, I know.

This black shed is not for me to keep the sun out.

So, it's up to you how to get the money.

Then there's only one way.

- I'll send someone to get it. - Okay.

But this place is in the middle of nowhere.

It's too far from Baiyuan.

It'll be dark when they come back.

Don't worry about it, Boss Yan.

Although it took some time to get here, there's a shortcut.

Then why did we take a long way?

We drove here so we had to take a detour.

But it just takes about half an hour to get here by motorcycle.

Come on. Call first.

Go.

Please, Boss Yan.

[Animals and other things in this scene are all models.]

Please.

- Sit here. - Please.

Watch your mouth.

Be polite.

Boss Yan knows what he's doing.

Yes.

Yeah, I know what I'm doing.

He's calling.

Satellite phone.

Hello?

Hello, honey, it's me.

Damn. You finally called me.

Look what time it is!

You didn't answer my phone.

Honey, let me explain.

It took a long time...

Explain?

If I hadn't seen you get into Boss Wang's car,

I'd have suspected that you'd gone to do something dirty.

Honey, what are you talking about?

How could that be?

I wanted to call you as soon as I got here.

But my phone disconnected.

I finally borrowed Boss Wang's phone to reach you.

It's been so long and you just arrived there?

Yeah.

I didn't miss a moment.

Alright, enough of this crap.

Have you seen the goods?

Yeah.

They're all first-rate.

All alive.

But a few are dying.

I'll kill them when I get them.

You must hurry.

Once they're dead, they're worthless.

Be careful.

How many in total? What's your price?

So expensive! You can't even bargain.

No way. You can't give them that much.

No, I've made a deal with Boss Wang.

What matters most in business? It's honesty.

It's not right to change the price at the last minute.

Do me the honor.

Forget it. I'll deal with you later.

Check them out. No dead ones.

Don't worry. Boss Wang knows what he's doing.

How can I give you the money?

I'll ask Xiaochen to send it to you.

You can't take so many goods yourself.

Money?

I don't know.

Just wait!

It's just a small thing and you can't make it clear.

Forget it. It's my fault.

If I had known you were disoriented, I shouldn't have let you go.

You don't know if you're sold.

Yeah, honey, you're right.

Don't be angry.

Cut the shit.

It's my birthday tonight.

I'm not done with you if you can't make it home for dinner.

Honey, don't worry. It's your birthday.

I'll go back no matter what.

What do you want for dinner?

I'll let the cook make it for you.

Your stomach was bad in the last few days.

How about pumpkin?

Why pumpkin again?

We had pumpkin porridge three times a day.

I'm tired of it.

Be good.

Make it different. It'll be delicious, I promise.

Tell me. I'll think about it.

I know.

Well, my wife is angry.

I need to butter her up.

Two minutes, just two minutes.

Thank you.

Make a pumpkin pot.

Dig up the flesh.

Use the pumpkin as a bowl.

Put the chicken soup that's ready in it.

Then the soup is delicious with pumpkin flavor.

It's easy.

I'll ask the chef to stew the chicken soup for you now.

It should be stewed for an hour or two before it's put into the pumpkin,

but when you put it in the pumpkin bowl,

just stew it for another half an hour.

This is the exact time.

I see. What else do you want besides this?

It's been hot lately.

Have some watermelon after dinner. That's it.

That's it? No more dishes?

The rest is up to you.

You're not over?

Hello?

How?

- Did you get a trace? - Not yet.

Boss Yan, satellite phone call is very expensive.

If you want to chitchat, you can do it at home.

Okay.

Sit for a while.

Hurry back.

Is it going to be a problem?

Not really.

He still got time to care about dinner.

How could he even think of that if there's a problem?

I guess we'll have to use the second plan.

Give me the walkie-talkie.

All units, be in place in advance.

See if any hidden sentries near the location.

Yu and I will go to the meeting spot to send money to Boss Wang's man.

I'll take him down on the exchange and ask him to take us there.

What if...

Take them to Meifeng Mountain if something happens.

I've got someone there.

There's a man with a chicken cage waiting there when you get there.

Okay, I'm leaving.

I've confirmed it. No sentries around there.

It takes a long time to arrange spotters.

Looks like Boss Wang is anxious.

He'll make mistakes when he's anxious.

Don't worry.

We'll return a complete Professor Zhuang to you.

- Thank you, Officer Wang. - The car is coming.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Be honest. Where's the lair?

Say.

Okay, I'll say.

Meifeng Mountain.

Cuff him.

Get in the car!

Don't move.

Yu, this trip is dangerous.

Just wait for us here.

Officer Wang, Zhuang Yu just said some birds were dying.

There's food and medication in it.

I can save them at once if I go.

Okay.

But you must conceal yourself.

You can't let Boss Wang see you before we catch him.

Or Professor Zhuang will also be in danger.

Get in.

[Meifeng Mountain]

Why isn't he here yet?

- Any news from Meifeng Mountain? - Not yet.

That's strange.

Boss Wang, take it easy.

Whatever will be, will be.

Look. He's coming.

Go check.

Don't move!

Get down! Hands on your heads!

We got reports that you're making illegal wild animal transactions here.

All get down, hold your heads. Cuff them.

Take them away.

Captain Wang.

All members are under control.

- We've caught them all. - Good. Check out the goods.

Okay.

That's all.

They're dying.

Hurry. Take them away.

Luckily, you got here in time. They should be saved at once.

Yeah.

It's not easy.

Explain the location with the question of what to eat for dinner.

The white gourd represents the east.

And pumpkin, the south.

You know it rains several months a year in Guangzhou.

It's too wet to live when the continuous humid weather comes.

My wife likes the climate of Baiyuan.

The weather is nice in Baiyuan.

Summer is long. Like the last two days,

it rained, and it stopped soon.

The direction of the sunlight.

Leaves are growing towards the southwest.

Plenty of sunshine here. Not much rain all year round.

But it has these plants.

Your stomach was bad in the last few days.

How about pumpkin?

It's been hot lately.

Have some watermelon after dinner. That's it.

Southwest.

It should be stewed for an hour or two before it's put into the pumpkin,

but when you put it in the pumpkin bowl,

just stew it for another half an hour.

Which one of the two times is right?

One or two hours should be the time they took a detour on their way over there.

It's the same sign again.

We drove here so we had to take a detour.

It just takes about half an hour to get here by motorcycle.

Use the form of food to describe the feature of the place.

Dig up the flesh and use the pumpkin as a bowl.

Use the pumpkin as a bowl,

which means the place is not on the hills,

but in a pit.

You ruined my business.

I'll ruin your life.

♫ The forest shines with its radiance ♫

♫ Waiting for the birds to fly back ♫

♫ I'm sure you are ♫

♫ my future ♫

Officer Wang, let's see this.

What's it?

This is the code he left for us.

Explain the location with the question of what to eat for dinner.

The white gourd represents the east.

And pumpkin, the south.

Use the cooking time of the dish

to describe the time of getting to the destination.
