[Happiness]

- Nian Nian! - Huh?

- What is it? - I made you this.

Thank you, Daddy.

Eat, try it.

- Is it good? - It is.

Nian Nian, last year...

what was it called? ACM competition?

Was your team leader called Zheng Hui?

Yeah, why?

He's about to graduate, right?

He's going straight to Ph.D.

Straight to Ph.D? That smart?

Then, when there's time, invite your team members to come and play at our house.

Okay.

How about tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is New Year's Day! How could they come and play?

- Wait until school starts. - Okay, okay.

Sneakily eating... I caught you.

Boss, I'm making late-night snacks.

I made too much. Do you want some?

I want to bring Captain some, too.

New Year's Eve dinner?

No, Captain brought back many tasty foods for me.

This is round two; I've already eaten.

And you still aren't full?

I'm just a glutton.

Where's Grandpa?

After Team Captain brought him back, he went to sleep.

Grandpa's pretty happy today.

After eating, come to my room to test your APM (actions per minute).

No way! It's New Year's Eve.

I also missed your New Year's Eve dinner, and now I have to test my APM?

If you pass me, I'll reward you greatly.

How is that possible?

Who could beat you?

Even Team Captain can't, so how would I?

Say that again.

I'll go! I'll go right now.

Test my APM.

[GN]

I don't know what he's doing.

Should I send a message to him?

How come there's no reply?

Just that speed of yours,

if I were you, I'd be too embarrassed to celebrate New Year's.

Is it Sister-in-Law?

Chattery.

The Predestined Tonight Cafe wishes you a happy Chinese New Year.

Friends watching from here at the live show or from your TV, welcome!

Are you ready?

Ready?

Let us prepare the countdown!

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four, three, two, one!

Happy New Year!

Boss, it's past twelve!

I forgot to tell you a happy new year!

Boss, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Boss!

It's Chinese New Year, Happy New Year!

Boss!

Happy New Year! This year, I wish you a healthy body!

Good fortune! Boss!

Let go.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year!

Continue testing your APM.

Today, if you don't get to 150, don't rest.

Please don't.

Go quickly.

It's New Year...

I was joking.

Boss!

Han Shangyan!

Han Shang–

Han Shangyan, wake up! It's 7:00!

How're you living? Hurry and get up!

I got it!

Little Bai went running.

Hurry and get up! Why'd you lock the door for?

Are you up?

- I'm up. - Han Shangyan, are you up?

I'm up, I'm up, I'm up!

This...

How come there's no sound, are you up?

Open the door!

Rise and shine!

How come you're up?

I mean, why are you running on New Year's Day? Are you so idle?

Habit.

I'm busy the whole year,

these are the only few days I can earnestly rest a bit.

Now it's all ruined.

Hey, come back.

- Could you go run another lap? - Why?

If you run another lap, I can stay outside for a bit longer.

Okay, then run with me.

Let's go.

Let me borrow this for a few laps, I'll return it later.

Demo, you're up.

Good morning, Grandpa.

Here, sit here.

Grandpa, you really like to watch the New Year's Gala?

You watch the replay right as you wake up.

Now, this you don't understand. The elderly enjoy watching the liveliness.

When you're celebrating the New Year, of course, you watch the Gala. Look how festive it is!

Yeah.

Here, try some of my tea.

Thank you, Grandpa.

How is it?

It's good. The aftertaste is kind of sweet.

Right. Brewing tea is very particular.

What particular? I don't quite understand.

Have you ever heard about the Sage of Tea?

- It's Lu Yu, right? - That's right. (Lu Yu, 733–804, author of the "Classic of Tea")

I also heard a saying from him.

"Mountain springs are best. Next is river water. Well water is the worst."

- Right? - Yes.

Tea leaves are important, but water is too.

I understand.

Quality water for brewing quality tea.

Boss, you're back!

Slow down. You just finished running and you're sneaking back to your room to sleep?

Did you die from sleepiness in your previous life?

Grandpa, don't get angry. I'll pour you some more tea.

- Okay. - I'll fill the cup.

Good child.

Did you go grocery shopping?

Nope. Yesterday, Grandpa told me not to cook today.

What are you going to do again?

Today is the first day of the New Year.

Of course, I want my granddaughter-in-law to come make dumplings for me.

Do you have a granddaughter-in-law?

You're dating?

Don't dump it on me.

Fine, fine, fine. Don't be so flippant now.

Last night, I saw through you.

You're not really into the girl from the Tong family.

I'm helping you find an excuse to bring her over to celebrate the New Year.

Demo, come with me. You take care of lunch and I'll take care of dinner.

Then, who's picking up Nian Nian?

I'll go pick her up for you.

Then Grandpa, I'll be going.

Go change! Aren't you smelly after running?

I'm fragrant!

Boss, are you scared of meeting your parents-in-law?

We've been sitting for ten minutes.

I've done nothing bad, what do I have to be scared of?

Follow me.

Boss, Boss! Going empty-handed on New Year's isn't really good.

Aren't you going to buy something?

Buy what?

New Year's treats, of course! Like peanuts, sunflower seeds, snacks like that.

Does Sister-in-Law's family have any kids? Buy them some snacks, too.

If that doesn't work, you can spare a bit.

Go to the seafood market and buy some fish or shrimp.

At least it's better than going empty-handed.

Anyways, my mom brings gifts like that.

Also, me following you in there isn't the best.

Wait for me in the car.

Okay!

This melon is sweet, want one? The flavor is especially good.

And this mango, want it?

This is imported from Japan, it's very sweet.

Take one.

Gifting tangerines on New Year's, it's good luck.

- Just take whatever, as long as it looks nice. - Okay, okay.

Should I use a gift box and wrap it?

Young man, are you visiting relatives?

Is he wishing a Happy New Year or collecting a debt? Dressed all in black...

Coming.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Little Han?

Auntie, I'm... here to wish you a Happy New Year.

Come in.

Who is it?

I'll move here.

Right.

I'll move...

What is it? Who came?

Woah, who's this?

Little Han? Why're you here?

Hello, everyone.

We just ate New Year's Eve dinner last night,

you don't have to specially come and wish a Happy New Year today.

Well, since Grandpa really likes Tong Nian,

he wanted me to invite her to come and have a meal.

Then, does Tong Nian know about this?

No.

Here, here, Little Han.

That must be heavy. Put it down.

Little Han. Come and sit.

Sit. Get Nian Nian, quickly.

You came from so far, why are you gifting fruits? You could just come.

Little Han, sit for a bit.

I'll go upstairs and call Nian Nian down for you.

Doesn't that fruit basket look familiar?

How could it not look familiar?

He bought it from the fruit shop at the head of the street.

Seems that Nian Nian has it very tough with him.

Our Nian Nian is so well-behaved, of course, she'll have it tough.

Look how old he is. He's still playing games!

Aren't you two also playing?

What?

How could there be a person like that?

Keep playing! I'll move here.

- Han Shangyan is here? - Yeah.

He said he's taking you out for a meal.

I don't know if his grandpa wants to or if he does.

This hairstyle will not work! It's all flat! I need to go wash my hair!

Didn't you just wash your hair last night?

It's not the same. All the girls are like this.

Okay, okay.

Dad, does this look good on me? The jacket.

- It's okay. - Never mind, you don't understand.

- Dad, go outside. I have to change! - What?

- I've never seen you panic like this for your tests before. - Get out, get out.

Hurry up!

Hi, you're here?

Grandpa said he missed you. If it's convenient, come and have a meal with us.

I'm free!

I'm free, I'm free. Of course, I can.

Uncle, Auntie. Then, I'll take Tong Nian along.

I'll bring her back after dinner.

I'm telling you! You must be back before seven.

Seven? Look what time it is already!

Don't worry about the time. Have fun.

Thanks, Daddy.

We're leaving.

Sister-in-Law!

Why is there another person in the car?

Hi, Sister-in-Law. I'm...

Demo!

I just said my name once and you remembered?

- Yeah... - Your memory is great.

Sister-in-Law, let me tell you,

Boss has never let anyone else sit in the front-passenger seat aside from you.

You can see how important you are to him.

You two, what're you chattering about?

Nothing.

Sister-in-Law, the vegetables are here.

How many fillings will there be?

Cabbage and pork, chives and egg, fennel. Some of each.

I love eating this Chinese cabbage!

Its name is "green cabbage."

Chinese cabbage looks like this.

Really?

I'll pick one.

How about this one? Petite and pretty.

You have a good eye! I think it's the one.

Does it look good?

What good?

There're so many folds. The smaller it is, the less water it contains.

If you are going to choose, pick a big one. There's more water. Got it?

A big one... The big ones have more water.

- Do you like eating that? - Yeah.

- Take it. - Okay.

This one?

Okay.

I saw all the members eating this; it's probably good.

Okay, okay.

Boss!

Why didn't you ask me?

Men don't eat snacks.

Men are people, too.

I want to eat this, is that okay? I want to.

Hurry and take what you want.

Okay.

Sister-in-Law, you're amazing.

Sister-in-Law, has Boss ever yelled at you?

Indeed.

Indeed what?

It is said that men: if they are mean to outsiders, they are gentle to family.

Men who are mean to family, are a wuss to outsiders.

There's such a saying?

- He's really never been mean to you? - No.

He's never been mean; he's pretty good to me.

What're you two chattering about?

- Nothing. - Nothing.

Look at this difference in treatment.

He would usually scold me.

Really?

How about I carry some for you?

Keys.

♫ How was my heartbeat rattled by you? ♫

In my pants pocket.

♫ A strange love raises a storm ♫

♫ Can you please be my support forever? ♫

We didn't get the fennel, so we have to make a trip to the market.

Boss, you're going to the market?

Boss, this stand has a lot of vegetables.

Which one is fennel?

Young man, this is fennel.

Boss, how much is it per catty? (1 catty is approx. 500g)

¥10 per catty. (T/N: $1.45 per catty)

¥10? Didn't it use to be ¥8?

These were picked today; they're fresh.

Not fresh; aren't these wilting?

I'll take one catty. Here.

These bell peppers look fresher than the ones in the store.

They're bigger, too. Boss, do you want to buy some?

Those are withered now, can't you tell?

How much?

- Sister-in-Law, hop in. - Thank you.

How is he so good at buying veggies? So amazing.

What're you looking at me for?

Nothing.

[Rongbei Farmers' Market]

Today, I want to eat fifty!

Fifty? You're so small but have such a large appetite.

You'll finish all of them before I even finish making them.

This... Do we make the filling first?

Machine-made wrappers don't taste good, didn't you know?

But machine-made wrappers are convenient.

Didn't we buy flour?

This, it's right here.

How do we do this?

Baidu it. (T/N: Search it up on Baidu, the "Chinese Google")

- You two, get out. - It's fine, we'll help–

Get out! Go chat with my grandpa. Quickly, quickly.

We really aren't helping him?

Team Captain.

He's over there.

We're eating dumplings today?

Two children don't know how to make dumplings.

Go and chop up the cabbage.

Why aren't you calling for take-out?

We've already bought everything, it'd be a waste not to make them.

And who'd deliver on New Year's?

Don't blabber; hurry and go.

Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The 🍯 Honey Stewed 🐙 Squid Team @ Viki

What're you doing? Assessing the cabbage's physiognomy?

Weren't you the best at meticulous work?

How is this the same? This is harder than I imagined.

Next time we extend practice, I really have to teach you all how to cook.

Move.

- Come, come, come. - Grandpa, have some fruits.

Thank you. Sit.

Thank you.

Sister-in-Law, there are so many ways to make dumplings on the web.

Just how should we wrap them?

People without skill can't wrap them.

Right, right.

Nian Nian, what do you like to do when you aren't studying?

I like singing and putting my recordings online.

- Really? - Yes.

I love hearing singing the most!

Then what songs do you like? I can sing them for you.

Do you like listening to Cai Qin, Fei Yu Qing... (T/N: 1970s singers)

No, no!

Grandpa likes to listen to The Legend of the Red Lantern. It's the one that goes like, (T/N: opera published in 1958)

♪ Grandma, listen to me! ♪

Haven't heard it?

This used to be your grandpa's favorite song.

Oh, then.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". (T/N: opera, 1958)

You haven't heard that either?

No.

Grandpa, I've never heard of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy,"

but I've heard a small part of "The Legend of the Red Lantern." Do you want to listen to it?

Really? Sing a line! Sing a line!

Then, I'll start Grandpa.

♪ Grandma, listen to me! ♪

♪ My family has countless cousins ♪

♪ Without any important reason, they would never visit ♪

♪ Although we are family, they do not acknowledge ♪

♪ But he is closer to me than all my family ♪

♪ Grandpa and Grandma ♪

♪ Together call him family, this mystery ♪

♪ I can hazard a guess, they are the same as Father ♪

♪ They all have a shining, red heart! ♪

Good!

Pour a cup of water.

They're almost done; don't be impatient.

In a bit, wrap this in as well.

This is Nian Nian's New Year's present.

I purposely didn't let her see.

Later, it'll be a surprise for her.

Isn't that unsanitary?

It's been sterilized.

Take it.

You're going to throw a tantrum on New Year's?

Don't take this too seriously. What if we break up?

Say that again?

Go watch television, okay?

- Remember to put it in. - I know, I know.

Did you hear anything?

What're you laughing about? Didn't you cause all of this?

Hurry and wrap it inside.

Demo, Demo! Go in and lend a hand.

Go, go help!

- Then I'll go, too! - Oh, no-no-no!

Girls have to enjoy.

Let the boys do the work.

Here, sit, sit.

Eat some fruits with me.

Okay, Grandpa, what would you like to eat?

- The orange. - Okay, I'll peel it.

Here.

This plate is for you.

Does Sister-in-Law avoid some foods or the filling was made especially for her?

I don't avoid any foods.

Then, that's fine. Just eat.

Han Shangyan made them specifically for her,

do you dare eat it?

- I dare not. Sister-in-Law, you eat. - Thank you.

- I didn't make them that well. Just casually eat. - It's no problem.

Good?

It's tasty.

Eat, eat up.

Nian Nian,

did you taste anything?

- Chives and egg. - No, not that.

Like... like did you chew upon something that's a bit different?

What's happening?

This is for you.

For me?

New Year's gift.

Oh my... This young one, you didn't learn what I taught you.

Originally, I told him to take your present and wrap it inside a dumpling. Hurry and open it.

Thank you, Grandpa. I'll open it.

It's the initial letter of Boss's name!

Do you like it?

I like it, thank you.

I didn't buy it, Grandpa did.

Th-This...

Seriously.

- Put it somewhere safe. - Okay.

Give it to me.

I'll wash the dishes. You made all the food.

Have you ever done chores at home?

A bit. But I know how to wash dishes.

Sit and watch television.

If Grandpa knows you're working, he'll yell at me to death.

Then, thanks for your hard work.

How is it?

He doesn't need me to wash dishes.

It's all right. He's like this at the club, too.

He washes his own dishes.

Sister-in-Law, during dinner, you talked quite a bit with the Ice King.

Ice King, who's that?

Our team captain, Wu Bai.

In our club, there are three people who cannot be provoked.

Hasn't Boss told you?

One is Grunt. The king of sarcasm.

Another is the one I told you about: Team Captain Wu Bai, Ice King. These two are easy to understand, right?

And the last one?

The last one...

What're you doing?

And our boss. He's seriously a Demon King. A great trickster.

Why didn't you go back home for the New Year?

My parents divorced; they've been fighting over the house.

If I go back, I don't know where to stay, so I didn't feel like going home.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

Don't worry, it's okay. It's really okay.

Actually, Boss is always alone, too.

Probably because of this, he's learned to do everything.

You two... what're you chattering about?

We're cleaning up. Are you done? I'll bring it over.

Thanks, Sister-in-Law.

Put it here.

On the third, I have to go to the club so I won't have time to come see you.

Okay.

It's still early.

Do you want to listen to some songs?

♫ There are some reasons that are difficult to explain ♫

♫ I've gotten used to my friend, Loneliness ♫

♫ I can avoid your caring eyes ♫

♫ But I can't avoid being moved ♫

♫ I struggle to pretend that I'm strong and indifferent ♫

♫ Reject the way my heart feels, but you saw through me ♫

What're you doing? You scared me!

I heard you were coming today, so I came specifically.

Come in and have some tea!

Don't worry, ignore him. You can go.

Go away!

♫ ...but memories are not up to me ♫

You're not asking him to come in?

What do you mean? Just go.

♫ All the things you’ve said flash past my ears ♫

See you.

♫ ...there are so many gates to cross ♫

♫ Just to run into your embrace ♫

♫ I try my best to avoid it but love is not up to me ♫

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning. Happy New Year.

How was your New Year's?

It was pretty good.

Hello, everybody! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

You got more handsome.

Happy New Year!

- G Shuai. - Hello.

- You got fatter. - Who got fatter?

- Hello. - Hello.

Move over a little.

Got it?

That's good.

Everyone! New year, new atmosphere!

How many championships are we going to win this year?

All of them, of course.

In order to win championships,

I prayed to get blessed a keyboard and mouse when I went to my hometown for New Year's.

You have some pretty good ideas.

97, you didn't gain any abilities after the new year,

but you did get more tricks. Even put on a face mask.

What do you know? A new year, a new beginning.

I'm using Jayjun face masks (shui guang) to add luminosity (kai guang). (T/N: Has two meanings - "I'm using the shining (shui guang) mask to bless my face (kai guang).")

I guarantee that I'll win every battle and look radiant doing it.

Let's not even talk about results,finding a girlfriend can happen at any moment.

Here. I'll give you one.

Thank you. Let me see.

Slowly. How is it?

Your skin did become a lot shinier.

But I don't see a girlfriend anywhere!

Who says I don't have any? I'm not bragging.

For New Years, the girls showing up at my door for engagement proposals broke the threshold!

Okay, that's enough! Stop showing off!

Hurry. Call Boss for a meeting.

Why do I have to go?

Where's Demo?

Demo spent New Year at Boss' house.

My guess is that he was tormented the whole time.

He's hiding in the washroom crying!

He's singing!

Let's go.

Little Demo!

- Oh, he's shy. - What are you doing?

Speak. How were you tormented at Boss's house during New Year's?

What do you mean "torment"?

Let me tell you guys, Boss, deep down, is very gentle.

He didn't even let Sister-in-Law do household chores.

From buying groceries, to mixing the filling, to wrapping dumplings, and in the end...

And in the end, cleaning the dishes.

He didn't let Sister-in-Law touch a single drop of water.

I was thinking, even if I had a girlfriend, it would be hard to reach that level.

But I need to get a girlfriend first.

Boss knows how to cook?

And it's really tasty!

Are you being serious?

You have a big heart. Even if Boss cooked for you, would you have the guts to eat it?

I won't hide it from you: I ate a lot, the food was really good.

Are you for real?

I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore! Leave quickly! I'm taking a shower!

Let's go!

Let's go.

Boss, the cleaning is almost done. We can get ready for the meeting.

I got it.

Boss... I heard that Demo stayed at your house for New Year's.

You even made food for him. Is it true?

Do you want to eat as well?

I-I don't want to eat.

This time, CTF's international competition is an individual players competition.

Grunt and 97 are the members of our team who are participating.

Boss will take them, I will stay here and watch you guys.

What about Team Captain?

He has his own training strategy.

After we leave, the members who are staying behind cannot slack off.

I will watch all the security footage from beginning to end. You guys got it?

We got it, Boss.

Grunt and 97, you two stay behind. Everyone else can go train.

This time in Norway, other than our team, there will also be people from SP.

There are four people from SP. The first person is their team manager, Ai Qing.

The others are Little Mi, All, and Lnin.

Because there aren't many people, I arranged for all of us to take the same flight.

Are there any problems?

If Boss doesn't have any problem with it, then, of course, we don't either!

This is the itinerary; take a look.

Do you want me to bring anything for your husband?

No need.

Since you and Wu Bai are going to be training,

do you need me to help take care of Grandpa?

He's even busier than me. He's going to visit relatives and friends.

Oh right. You're a single bachelor, there is no need to give anyone explanations before leaving.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.
