Original subtitles

[English subtitles are available]

At the beginning of the year,

we decided to quit smoking

for the sake of health.

Therefore,

we made a new plan.

From now on,

if someone gets caught smoking,

he'll face a fine of 3,000 yuan.

There are no exceptions or excuses.

Do you agree?

I have to run a few laps.

We put great efforts

[CLOUDS CAFE]

to achieve our goal.

Lu Zheng

almost became a professional marathon player.

We saved

30,000 yuan

in three months.

Thank you, brothers.

They should call us uncles.

-Brother is fine. -Brother.

Brother.

We bought new schoolbags,

new stationery,

and Xinhua dictionary

with the money you sent us.

And we also changed the blackboard

of the classroom,

so we could see more clearly

in class.

We all cherish the opportunity to study.

We will grow up well

and live up to

your expectations

for us.

That's the meaning of our quitting smoking.

In the end,

we all successfully quit smoking,

because once we couldn't find any excuse,

the more obvious craving

than the desire to smoke surfaced.

That is

the reluctance to pay the fine.

[Men in Love]

[Episode 3: Excuses and True Heart]

I just want to ask you

if you know Tong Yiwen.

You can even tell that?

Of course.

I met her at the party last time,

but I didn't ask for her phone number.

I was thinking

how to find her.

I didn't expect to see her in your Moments.

Are you close?

Can you give me her contact information?

Sure.

I'll ask her later.

Great.

Xiaoxiao,

thank you.

You're my savior.

By the way,

can you tell me

what she likes?

She likes…

She likes hairy crabs.

Hairy crabs?

Why did you suddenly think of hairy crabs?

What a foodie.

Are you sure?

And then?

What else does she like?

For example, what color

does she like?

Black.

Black?

No wonder she likes wearing black.

I need to use the bathroom.

♫I'll be heartbroken no matter how careful I am♫

♫We could only blame that we didn't have time to prepare for it♫

♫If missing is a misunderstanding♫

♫The contradictory emotions are also shaky♫

♫The traffic lights are like tears♫

♫Twinkling in my heart♫

♫We met by chance and missed each other; I look forward to seeing you again♫

♫I don't dare to love even if I long to♫

♫But how can I forget your tenderness?♫

Hello, what is it?

What are you doing?

I'm eating out.

You're off work?

I'm on my way to the parking lot.

I'll drive home later.

Your meeting

went very well.

This is not your style.

Why are you reporting your work?

I'm just saying.

Okay, I got it.

I'm with a friend. I gotta go.

Don't move.

Wait.

How do you know I'm walking?

We've been friends for 20 years.

So no matter where you are,

you have telepathy with me.

You can't escape from my visual field anywhere.

Alright, stop it.

I'll go to your place later.

Okay.

See you later.

Bye.

What's wrong?

I broke it by accident.

Is your hand okay?

Yeah.

We are

in the same boat.

We should keep each other warm.

It's so embarrassing.

Did you join the Beggar Sect?

Who?

You.

Mr. Ye.

Why are you acting like a ghost?

I just

passed by

and saw a familiar beggar.

Now that I look closely,

I really know her.

You may not believe me.

The scarf

is mine.

I know the rules.

Finders, keepers.

This is mine.

I left it here

on the day of the party.

It was so close.

Why are you laughing?

I'm laughing at your clothes.

Is it my face?

That was not makeup you did there.

You painted a picture on your face!

Why do I look like that?

You're the first woman…

What?

The first woman

who's printed her face on my chest.

Stop teasing me.

I didn't know you laughed so much.

Isn't it funny?

It's so funny.

Then why did you cry just now?

Cry?

When?

At the restaurant.

I saw it when passing by.

You can always

see me in a mess.

Did you see that door?

I broke it

that day.

I guess

it wanted revenge.

Thanks to you,

it didn't succeed.

Thank you for saving me,

not only for today,

but also for the party day.

By the way,

if you can

sign the settlement agreement,

I'll be more grateful to you.

All right.

Now we can cover it.

You're such a strange person.

Do you like Jiacheng?

What are you talking about?

That's nonsense.

I don't like him.

I see.

I understand.

You don't believe me?

No.

You don't look like you do.

I do.

I believe it.

That's right.

We need to be full of trust.

I believe you trust me.

Don't let me down.

I'm leaving.

I have a class tomorrow.

By the way,

sign the settlement agreement,

and I'll trust you more.

Did she agree to give me her number?

Why are you here?

Didn't I tell you I'd come to your place?

Why didn't you change your shoes again?

Where were you at this hour?

I thought you were coming home straightaway.

Where did you get a scarf?

It smells like perfume.

This perfume smells so familiar.

Why can't I remember?

Forget it if you can't.

Where have you been?

Change your shoes first.

I suddenly thought of a theme.

"Where should those models

who were all the rage go now?"

What do you think?

It seems

you want to know what they're doing.

No.

I'm asking about the theme.

Pretty good.

You can interview some supermodels

who are already married and have children.

and ask them how they're doing.

The title can be

"Under high heels:

their second lives."

Look, the idea just flew out of my mouth.

It's quite creative,

but we can't find married models.

Otherwise, we won't be able to interview them.

Looks like you have a crush on someone.

Tell me, who do you like?

None of your business.

What does he do?

He's the publisher of "Declaration".

He invited me

to the event that day.

Does he know me?

I don't think

he recognized me that day.

He saw you in my Moments

and asked me

if I knew you.

Actually,

I saw you two that day.

I wanted to tell you when I came back,

but I forgot.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was so embarrassed.

He's your friend.

Are you familiar with him?

He's

the captain of the basketball team I coach.

But the magazine publisher

is better than I thought.

Well,

will you consider him?

I like his looks,

but you know

my standard.

Magazines don't make much money now.

Tell me.

What do the girls who like you

see in you?

What do you think?

Indeed.

Money is an important bonus.

What is this?

A human face.

Shouldn't you introduce her to me?

Well,

this is an artist's jointly-designed jacket. I just bought it.

The artist just printed her face on the jacket?

Yeah, body art. Isn't it advanced?

Which girl?

My goodness.

Tong Yiwen's contact information.

He's quite active.

I'm going to bed.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Xiaoxiao,

thank you for your help.

I'll treat you to dinner next time.

Do you like Jiacheng?

I can't let Jiacheng know.

That cursed Ye Han

is so dangerous.

Mom, I'm back.

Listen.

Don't rush back to eat as soon as you get off work.

Hang out with Ye Han and others,

so that you can meet girls.

But why should I think about that?

You're not young anymore.

You have to hurry up.

If you really care about me,

cook for me every day.

That's good.

To be honest,

the daughter of our dance team's Zhang

is very pretty.

Let me introduce her to you.

The soup is delicious.

What fish is this?

Isn't it fresh?

I bought it alive

early in the morning.

Really?

Is this a catfish?

Why are you changing the subject again?

These fish balls should be good.

Here, one for you and one for me.

Sit down. Come on.

Have a seat.

Come on.

Come, have a seat.

Let me get you some food.

Sweet and sour ribs.

[IN WORK]

Mr. Ye,

are you free now?

I have something to discuss with you.

It seems urgent.

It's lunchtime for the school.

You came here without eating.

I get hungry easily.

I had lunch after the third class.

It's good to get hungry easily.

It means good digestion.

I'm giving this copy

back to you.

Why are you willing to release the hostage?

You said you'd give it to me after I sign the settlement.

It's not about the settlement.

It's about…

your speculation last night.

I admit it.

Are you really from the Beggar Sect?

I'm not joking.

Mr. Ye,

I sincerely beg you

not to tell Jiacheng.

He is an important friend to me.

I don't want to ruin our friendship.

Friendship?

Yes.

I've decided to take it

as a friendship.

-Ye Han. -Jiacheng.

They said they were not going to advertise.

Can you knock before coming in next time?

What if I'm doing something secretive

in there?

What can you do with her?

I can tell it's Xiaoxiao from behind.

Xiaoxiao.

Jiacheng.

Take a look.

You've been close lately.

Are you…

doing business in secret?

What's so good about business?

Why can't we be in a relationship?

Xiaoxiao can't like you.

I'm here

to return the copy with the misprint.

You must have something to talk about.

I'll get going.

Wait.

Yiwen's phone number.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

You guys talk.

Bye.

Bye.

Take care.

Did she tell you

the model's phone number?

Yeah. They are friends.

What's wrong?

I don't know what to say about you.

What? What's wrong?

Say no more.

I know

I'm stupid

and silly.

Then why do you have to make yourself so stupid?

Just take it as I'm talking to myself.

I heard it.

[Art is life, IN WORK]

Then keep listening.

Who is your hypocrisy for?

That's not hypocrisy.

I'm just doing it

for my friend.

No one will know

your one-sided consideration

for others.

So what?

Even if there weren't Yiwen,

would he come to me

and fall in love with me?

I like him,

so I can only think for him.

Then why haven't you ever confessed your love?

It's not that I haven't thought about it.

I was just afraid.

If I don't tell him,

we can still be friends.

But if it doesn't work out,

we can't even be friends.

[Art is life, IN WORK]

I see.

I've answered all your questions.

If you pity me,

please make some time

to sign the settlement agreement.

Let bygones be bygones.

Okay?

Sure.

Wear the "Carpe Diem" skirt

to the basketball game this weekend.

I'll go there too.

Are you asking me to play basketball in a skirt?

Are you trying to trick me?

It'd be so narrow-minded if you think me like that.

Why are you so obsessed

with that skirt?

What's so special about it?

Just wear it.

Weirdo.

Do you want to reconcile or not?

Fine.

I'll wear it.

I'll wear it, all right?

That's the plan for next month.

Remember to update it on your social media accounts.

Customers nowadays value that.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

It's okay. Go back to work.

I can go myself.

Okay.

Don't you think

Yaoyao looks like Yiwen?

The young version.

Right?

Yeah.

Look at her expression and posture.

She's like Wen.

How dare I compare to Yiwen?

She was the first model

to appear on an international runway.

I think

Yaoyao is nothing like Yiwen.

Yiwen is not a good example.

And she has no work to do now.

She can only make some money through live streaming.

Of course.

Do you watch the show?

Yaoyao's got

a full schedule.

Really, Yaoyao?

It's not like that. You're exaggerating.

-Amazing. -Yeah.

-So beautiful. -Really beautiful.

Why are you here?

You didn't reply to my messages.

You just want me to come to you, don't you?

If I don't reply to your message, it means I don't want to talk to you.

What are you doing later?

What?

I want to treat you to a meal.

President Xu.

Do you do this to all the girls you've kissed?

No.

I've never been so reckless.

But that's not the case for me.

I just thought the vibe was good.

I see.

The vibe is good too now.

I'm not in the mood

to play an idol drama with you.

Okay, I'll leave

after giving you the present.

It's right behind my car.

I'm looking for a boyfriend on the premise of marriage.

Your financial strength

can't meet my requirements.

How do you know

before you see it?

Balloons or a thousand roses?

Are you crazy?

They're from Yangcheng Lake.

Every one of them weighs 200 grams.

What do you think? How is my financial strength?

It depends on your appetite.

Let's go.

[CLOUDS CAFE]

One mocha, with two potions of milk and half a sugar.

Mocha.

Isn't she pretty?

She has a nice figure too, right?

But it has nothing to do with a married man like you.

Do you discriminate against married people?

So what I'm married?

I don't even have the right to appreciate beauty because of it?

Yes, you do.

But put on the wedding ring first.

Don't lose it.

Do you think I took off the ring on purpose?

Of course.

You need to see the big picture.

My hands were slippery

when I was washing the cups.

The ring might fall into the sink.

I don't know why

I always feel happy

being with you.

Why?

Maybe it's because of the comfort

a married man like you brings me.

Anyway,

I can't communicate with you.

But this may be the main source of your charm.

Is that a compliment?

Sort of.

Add more sugar for me later.

It's meaningless for you to quit smoking like this.

Aren't you afraid of diabetes?

I think it's fine.

I'm just consuming the health

brought by giving up smoking

with eating sugar in advance.

It makes sense.

What are you doing?

Are you waiting for me for dinner?

We are.

Let's go have hairy crabs later.

Forget about hairy crabs.

Go eat with Xu Yan.

Xu Yan said he was having T-bone steak

and wasn't coming.

T-bone Steak?

The one at the Bund?

That's the only one.

He spent his anniversaries there with Jie every time, didn't he?

♫Even the air is silent♫

♫There's no place for my heart to hide♫

Honey.

♫The world stops, like an illusion♫

♫I thought you were calling me♫

Sorry, I'm late.

Honey.

Happy birthday.

♫The hand I reached out touches nothing again♫

Thank you.

♫I'll be with you♫

♫You know it's true♫

♫Memories are endless♫

♫But why♫

♫We've been with each other♫

♫But why we can't have each other♫

♫I'll be with you♫

It was all my fault.

♫I'll see this through♫

I kept you waiting every time.

♫If we can notice all the considerations♫

Now,

it's my turn to wait for you.

♫At the intersection of time♫

♫Let's not lose each other again♫

♫Happy birthday to you♫

♫Happy birthday to you♫

♫Happy birthday to you♫

♫Happy birthday to you♫

Why didn't you invite us

to celebrate Jie's birthday together?

That's not what a good friend should do.

Indeed.

What are you waiting for?

Blow out the candles for her.

Hurry up.

We're waiting to eat the cake.

What are you doing?

Thank you.

Actually,

we just want to drink with you

on the pretext of Jie's birthday.

Yeah, don't overthink.

Right.

Don't get us wrong.

We're just here to drink.

Come on, cheers.

Cheers! Cheers!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

There are

different excuses to drink every time,

but the only thing that hasn't changed

is the true heart that's hidden behind the excuses,

which is

"It's okay.

We're here with you."

But sometimes I don't even know

what the true heart hidden in the excuses is.

What are you doing here?

To play basketball, of course.

To play basketball?

Come on. Let's play.

No.

What I'm wearing is not fit for sports.

I can be your coach though.

Coach?

Sure, Coach.

Tell us

what our strategy should be today.

Make a 4-3-3 formation first.

4-3-3?

Tell me the truth. What are you doing here?

I'm looking for your coach.

Is there a secret here?

No.

No.

You have to wait until the game is over

even if there is.

Let's go, Xiaoxiao.

Pass it to him.

Pass the ball.

Give it to him.

-Nice shot! -Nice shot!

Defend.

Defend.

Jiacheng, defend.

Nice shot.

Come on.

Come on.

Nice shot.

Qiao Feng, remember to defend.

We'll win if we defend against the rebounds.

-Jiacheng, you have to defend him from here. -Okay.

Cover me from here. Come on.

One, two, three, Blue Dragon will win!

Let's go.

How is it?

Awesome.

Not bad, right?

I can't tell you're approaching forty years old.

Thank you, brother.

Where is Xiaoxiao?

I don't know.

I didn't see her just now.

That is the new design for autumn and winter next year, right?

You have foresight on the fashion next year.

Let's go.

Xiaoxiao,

I heard you live with Yiwen.

You two are so close.

Did Yiwen tell you that?

Tell me what else she likes.

Don't worry.

I won't tell her it's you who tells me that.

I'll treat you to a big meal.

I need to talk to her.

We're leaving.

I'm leaving, Jiacheng.

They do have a secret.

Why are you looking at me?

You're not good at acting.

I don't need to act so well

in front of someone who doesn't like me.

Do you really want to give up?

I've been trying to give up all the time.

Winter is coming to an end, too.

It's time to let go.

Carpe Diem.

It's the name of this dress.

Did you forget it?

People wearing it

shouldn't be so sad.

I'm wearing it as promised.

Really?

It seems different from what I remember.

I've torn apart

your "Carpe Diem" dress.

Now,

it's Li Xiaoxiao's version.

Anyway,

I'm wearing it as promised.

You should sign

the settlement agreement.

Actually, I wanted to sign the settlement agreement long ago.

But now I find

that what I care the most is not the dress.

What is it then?

I just want to see you again.

♫The sky is getting dark♫

♫Moonlight is the monologue of my heart♫

♫It's always there♫

♫It's always there♫

♫It makes my heart race♫

♫I wasn't waiting for anyone♫

I was talking to it.

♫You happened to come following the light♫

I'm happy to see you again.

♫But the conversation was pleasant♫

♫I'm a little overjoyed♫

♫At the places where you can't see♫

Do you

want to go back?

♫My love keeps increasing♫

Where do you want to go?

♫It accumulated into the most beautiful surprise♫

I want to go

♫Can you hear me?♫

somewhere quiet

♫The first time I feel that I miss you every night♫

and hidden.

♫Can you see me?♫

♫Come to me; hold me tight♫

♫Will you love me more?♫

♫At times of sadness or joy♫

♫Let's go though together♫

♫Every moment of it♫

What is this place?

♫Because you're with me♫

The runway.

♫The uniqueness you prepared specially♫

The show field of models

and the stage of designers.

♫Is extremely precious♫

It's where Yiwen works.

♫The clouds dispel the darkness♫

♫Rainbow is the voiceover for the romance♫

Why are you smiling?

Am I wrong?

♫You fell into the crowd like a dream♫

I've never been here,

but I've seen it somewhere.

♫The process was wonderful♫

I wonder

♫We painted colors together♫

how it feels to walk up there.

♫We watered the love attentively together♫

Up we go.

♫You'll guess my answer♫

Experience it.

Walk around.

♫The wish will be unveiled♫

♫At the places where you can't see♫

♫My love keeps increasing♫

♫It accumulated into the most beautiful surprise♫

♫Can you hear me?♫

♫The first time I feel that I miss you every night♫

♫Can you see me?♫

♫Come to me; hold me tight♫

♫Will you love me more?♫

♫At times of sadness or joy♫

♫Let's go though together♫

♫Every moment of it♫

♫Because you're with me♫

♫The uniqueness you prepared specially♫

♫Is extremely precious♫

It's okay.

A stage accident.

I can handle it.

Congratulations,

lucky Mr. Ye.

You saw my first model show.

Being a model is amazing.

If I got the audience

staring at me,

I couldn't even take a step.

Why are you looking at me?

Because you're pretty.

Many people praised me.

Some praised me

for my strength.

Some praised me for riding fast.

Some praised me for my quick response.

But you're the first one

who praised me for looking pretty.

Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way.

You too.

Do you know what the exhibition is tomorrow?

Wedding dress?

Bingo.

That's great.

I just wonder

when I can wear the wedding dress.

Why?

Haven't you thought about when you'll get married?

Not for the time being.

What about you?

I don't know, either.

After all, marriage

is an important decision in life.

I don't have courage to make this decision yet.

Maybe I'm not mature enough.

You're almost 40

and you're not mature enough?

When I was a student,

I thought

a 20-year-old should be very mature.

But when I turned 20,

I thought

one could only be considered mature when he was at least 30.

In a blink of an eye, I'm over 30.

But I still think I'm a child.

I also feel that way.

Right?

Tell me.

Actually, we're no different from those teenagers

who wait for class to end

to go to the kiosk

after school, right?

Yeah.

There's no difference.

We're not mature like them.

Yes.

So in that sense,

we are still teenagers.

Who's inside?

You've rented this place, haven't you?

No.

Then run.

Hurry up.

Get in.

Why do I feel like

we did something bad?

Didn't we?

Let me show you how it feels to do bad things.

I've felt it.

Who turned on the light?

He's here.

Did he leave?

Let me see.

Has he left?

I think so.

♫No matter how hard♫

♫No matter how rough♫

♫No matter how faraway the place is, I'll go and find you there♫

♫I've met countless people♫

♫You're still the only one♫
