Episode 5
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
I'm used to it.
You?
I bet you are very frightened by this.
It's all right, a lot like the effects of an action movie.
I already finished counting the merchandise in stock.
Thank you.
I'm glad I have you here.
So we can take off from work so early.
What happened?
My feet are a bit bloated.
I've been wearing heels all day long.
Wait for me for a second.
Even though they don't match your outfit
but still, comfort is the most important right now.
Well...
Don't worry.
I just bought them.
Your shoe size is 23, right?
Are they too big?
Nope, they're perfect.
[Too over worked recently]
[Nine o'clock, meeting with the president. Ten o'clock, interview a sales associate]
[The resume is sent to your email. Remember to take Vitamin B group. Nic]
The feeling of being taken care of
is really great.
Hello?
Are you still in bed?
Time to get up.
Your meeting with the president is nine o'clock today.
Okay, thanks.
See you later. Bye.
The feeling of being taken care of...
really is...
super great.
Is it possible that you're overthinking it?
Perhaps he just wants to fulfill his duty as an assistant.
Are you...
Super busy. Those in the back, don't shove each other.
busy?
The feeling of not being taken care of...
is so bad.
Friends are useless.
You have to rely on yourself for everything!
[CI913 to Hong Kong is delayed due to weather conditions in Hong Kong]
Everybody, please listen to me.
Currently, the most recent news from Hong Kong is that around seven o'clock
tonight they'll clear the Typhoon warning.
- So we're truly very sorry. - We're very sorry.
Seven o'clock? We have to wait until seven? Can't it be earlier?
Miss, do you have vegetarian meals? I want vegetarian food.
Please hold on a moment.
- I'll get someone to arrange it for you right away. - Oh, I see.
I know each travel is very anxious, but in order to assure the safety of the flight
please excuse us.
I have two suggestions right now.
First one is, if you have an urgent matter
or a conference to attend today
then it's better for you to wait for a while at the airport.
If you're only visiting Hong Kong for tourism
then you should consider departing tomorrow instead.
This way, your schedule isn't rushed either.
Finally we've sent everyone off.
Right now, I just want to take a hot bath.
Have you signed it yet?
Excuse me.
It's more comfortable if you lean on this.
Thanks.
Rest a bit. I'll wake you up in 15 minutes.
Maggie.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I am deliberately making you... get used to it gradually.
- Bye. - Bye.
Why did you come here?
I didn't expect you to come.
It's raining so heavily today, how could I not come?
Exactly, it's raining heavily today.
Older sister You Qing.
Lala!
Don't tell me you are also...
didn't bring an umbrella?
But Henry is picking me up later, do you want a ride?
There's no need.
On second thought, I may have an umbrella in my office.
Let me go back and check.
He's here.
Come here, Lala.
Be careful...
Cheng You Qing.
Do you want us to drop you off?
Yes, older sister You Qing, let's leave together.
No, it's okay.
I knew you wouldn't bring an umbrella.
Not only was I cared for
but also I was rescued.
Someone's here to pick me up, so we'll be going now.
- Bye. - See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Who was that guy?
Nic.
Older sister You Qing's new and hot assistant.
So they're together now?
I think it's just been ambiguous.
Thank you.
Next time when something like this happens
remember to call for me.
He's just your assistant.
He just wants to fulfill his job well as an assistant.
He is just...
Is it really... 'he's just?'
Yoyo, tell me if mommy looks good in this outfit.
Looks good.
Exactly. Look at your youngest aunt.
She claims to be busy every day
yet she still has all this time to go shopping for all these clothes.
Auntie You Qing!
- You made my bed so messy! - Auntie You Qing.
You're back.
Yes.
Auntie You Qing, Auntie Mei Qing just badmouthed you behind your back.
What badmouthing? It's the truth.
Why did you go through my clothes then?
If it weren't for your sister-in-law, who spilled soup over her clothes again.
Let me find something.
Did she ever return the clothes from last time?
Why ask when you already know the answer.
She's doing it on purpose.
Every time she comes, she must take an outfit from you to be satisfied.
Sisters-in-law.
Don't bother with it, I just have a minor stain, it's all right.
Mom, just now Auntie Mei Qing said you come for Auntie You Qing's clothes every time.
What? Well... I was just kidding, go play with Yoyo.
I was just saying that... our...
You Qing...
has some skin care product to give to you.
What? Skin care product?
That's too kind of you.
Well...
Yes... right... I do have some...
samples.
So if, sister-in-law, you don't mind...
- and these clothes too. - These are great, I really need them.
These clothes...
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, You Qing.
All of you women and little people, what are you chatting about?
Are you taking advantage of You Qing again?
Did you talk about the important matter?
I forgot.
You should tell them. I'll... go help mom cook, you guys keep talking...
What trouble did you bring me this time?
It's not that.
Well, your sister-in-law's mother, meaning my mother-in-law
is coming to Taiwan the end of the month.
So I was thinking, if you can help me talk to Da Ren
and ask him if he can upgrade her seat.
This way, my mother-in-law can take first class and get to Taiwan comfortably.
Cheng Guan Qing, you're really a family with our sister-in-law
there's no advantages you two won't take.
What 'there's no advantage we won't take?'
This is called 'if you have connection then it's not a problem,' right?
Not funny at all.
Funny? You think your older brother is a stand up comedian?
You Qing didn't even speak yet.
It doesn't matter for me.
It's not like you don't know Da Ren.
You can ask him yourself.
If Da Ren is my brother-in-law, then of course I can talk to him directly.
The problem is, he's only my little sister's good friend.
- Thus... - I already texted Da Ren's number to you.
- But Da Ren and I are... - There's no need to say more.
A married older brother is like spilled water.
That's exactly right.
Cheng Mei Qing, why are you helping her and stirring up more trouble?
So what? Bite me, bite me...
If you want to fight, take it somewhere else, I need to go change clothes.
Hurry up, she wants me to see the guest out, you can leave.
Seeing the guest out, she meant you as the guest.
That's impossible, oh please.
The keys.
Mom, keys.
- You're pretending to be asleep? - You are asking me?
You have the keys.
I know that. They are in my pocket, come help me get them.
So much trouble.
I guess this... is also a kind of happiness.
How is it happiness?
Food, clothes, appliances, and drinks.
Which time didn't they only leave after they get bags full of them.
So Cheng You Qing, let me tell you.
A poor couple is always sorrowful.
Do you remember how handsome our older brother used to be?
Every day, he constantly received love letters from girls.
But look at him now, the more you look, the less outstanding he is.
Why is it like this?
Therefore...
men must be rich and powerful to be attractive.
The key to attractiveness is... confidence.
In order to have confidence, he must has his specialty.
It's because older brother doesn't have any specialties
he becomes so bland.
Who says he doesn't have any specialty? Doesn't it take specialty to sell stewed food?
How can it be specialty if he just learned a couple shallow steps?
Plus, the stewed food he cooks tastes so bad.
And his business is so dismal.
He is more and more wimpy.
Look.
That is correct.
If his stewed food tastes well, then his business would be prosperous.
When the business is prosperous, then of course money will start flowing in.
Then he becomes rich.
Isn't that 'attractiveness comes with wealth and power?'
So according to you...
People like Li Da Ren...
who doesn't have much money but wouldn't starve to death either...
who lives his life to the fullest
who is hard-working...
pragmatic and dutiful...
he would be unattractive?
What?
I suspected there was something between you two long time ago.
I am using him as an example.
You two are really strange.
Stop.
I don't want to waste time talking about principles that can't be communicated.
It's totally okay if you don't communicate with me
but denial isn't the solution.
May I ask when will your rich, powerful, and attractive husband to pick you guys up?
He said he'll be here right away.
Didn't he say 'right away' two hours ago?
Right... Dead fat butt.
The little gal is really sound asleep.
- I'm going home now. - Call me when you get home, okay?
- Okay, I'll call. - Okay, bye.
So if old ones are so repugnant...
then look for someone that turns old slower...
should be a good idea.
You Qing.
Where's your older sister and niece?
Brother-in-law... they already left.
Didn't we agree to leave together?
- No, they left in that car just now. - The one just now?
The taxi, yes.
- Then I'll go right after them. How terrible. - Okay. Be careful driving.
Okay... okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
I suppose this is yet another kind of happiness.
So about the styles...
you can categorize them in more detail according to heel heights.
This way... when we look it up later, it'll be more convenient.
Did you invent all these forms?
Well... my classmates from college all called me 'princess of forms.'
Clear logic and understandable at a glance.
This nickname...
you deserve it.
Your perfume smells nice.
You...
g-got it?
Excuse me, I got to take the call.
Don't you have the phone on you?
Hello, this is Cheng You Qing.
Hello, do you want to get dinner together tonight?
Cheng You Qing.
- Cheng You Qing? - Yes.
Right when I was so awkward and didn't know what to do...
his voice appeared behind me.
'I knew you wouldn't have brought an umbrella.'
I was rescued.
So what?
Don't you know that for women, being rescued makes our hearts skip a beat?
I'm warning you, don't you dare display the kind of look...
that portrays the attitude 'women are naive.'
I'm not, I'm saying...
Isn't this perfect for you?
You didn't even begin trying, yet your heart already skipped a beat.
I don't know what you're vexed about, honestly.
That's the most scary thing.
You know, I don't even know whether he thinks of me as his boss or a woman.
Yet my heart already skipped a beat.
What if...
then isn't that very tragic?
Then calm your heart down, and make sure it doesn't skip any more beats.
Then use your brain to judge and analyze objectively.
Don't you think I have?
Don't you know how tired I am jumping in and out every day?
But if he really only thinks of me as his boss...
then all the things he's done are too over the top.
But if he really just thinks of me as a woman...
then why can't I sense his...
nervousness, unsettledness, and anticipation?
Why worry? How long have you known each other?
One month?
But sometimes love is a matter of a certain moment.
Once you miss it, it's gone, okay?
Nonsense.
You don't understand.
Moment.
Then what moment was it between you and Jian Hua?
Jian Hua...
His hands are very pretty.
So we broke up later on.
What about Xiao Guo, his feet are good looking?
He's very cool, very straightforward.
He grabbed me and asked me...
'Do you want to be my girlfriend?'
What about Henry?
That time I was recovering from a previous relationship.
On top of that, he... chased after me like a young boy.
And my older sister.
She kept stirring up the fire on the side.
So you treated him as Ding Li Wei's back up.
Okay, let's not mention him.
What I mean to say is...
After experiencing all those moments without a good ending
what other moments are you determined to believe in?
You're the same too.
After analyzing and judging so many
you didn't have a good ending with that Feng Kui Ru and Guo Xin Yi.
Yet you talk about me.
That's why I broke up with all of them. I learned.
You better have.
But it's very interesting if we look at it.
It seems... when I have a boyfriend, you're single.
And then when I'm broken up, you're in a relationship instead.
I think it is...
No wonder we never got together.
- Chinese yam noodle on the house. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Let me rescue you.
What?
Your heart skipped a beat?
I'm merely observing...
for food like Chinese yam which isn't neat and clean
how can anyone swallow it?
Let me tell you...
It's like love.
Some people like a clean and neat answer.
Others like the glutinous process.
You're talking as if you are a love expert.
Hello.
Older brother Da Ren, where are you?
I'm eating with friends.
Then I'll go find you.
It may not be convenient, we're talking about something.
What things are you talking about that's so important?
'Older brother Da Ren.'
Who was that? A woman?
Can't you talk?
It's not that I can't talk...
it's just...
Tell her to come.
I can evaluate her for you as well.
Where are you?
'I'm inside your heart.'
What... what did she just say?
Nothing, it was a customer on next table.
Hello, I'm Maggie.
Hello... I'm Cheng You Qing.
I often hear older brother Da Ren mention older sister You Qing
now we've finally met.
Have a seat first.
I'm sorry.
Did you help older sister You Qing to publish the post on newspaper?
Sorry.
What do you need to post?
My friend works in newspapers, maybe he can help.
It's okay.
What do you want to eat?
I'm so hungry.
Can I order a lot?
- Go ahead, knock yourself out. - Yay.
Keep talking about your things, don't mind me.
Actually, we were almost finished.
Really, then can I ask questions?
How did older sister You Qing and older brother Da Ren meet?
- High school classmate. - College classmate.
So... you're high school and college classmates?
It must be fate.
A bad fate.
Because in the previous life, she was a brave warrior who saved me, a hooligan.
So this life, I came back to pay my gratitude.
I want to eat Chinese yam noodles.
So you also like food that...
have a real process.
Have a process?
It's very good.
Oh by the way...
A few days ago, I got a call from Zhang Mei Mei.
She's divorced.
Why?
Her husband has an affair.
Really.
Sorry to interrupt for a second.
Older brother Da Ren, do you want more sake?
What about you?
I'm okay with it.
Excuse me... (Japanese)
another sake please. (Japanese)
Oh by the way...
did you hear about the cancellation of Mei Nan's wedding?
Cancellation?
It seems like they got into a huge fight during the wedding photoshoot.
After hearing so many bad news
should we still keep on trying hard?
To avoid...
Excuse me. (Japanese)
The Peruvian raw fish salad is here.
I'm sorry. You guys keep going, don't mind me.
To avoid getting hurt, of course we should try hard.
Try hard to learn from past experiences...
try hard to consider from all aspects and analyze logically.
Analyze, analyze.
Do you really think that marriage is a mathematical formula?
Do you think you can calculate your future precisely?
Even if I can't calculate the perfect answer
I can still foresee some hints.
Like Shrewmouse and his wife
I didn't think they were suitable right from the beginning.
Why?
- Because... - His wife is too old?
It's not that, it's because...
Men are always obsessed with...
the forever 25 year olds.
Because they went into honeymoon stage after meeting only one month
and got married within half a year.
So 'moment' is just a hormone to ignite passion
but can't help two people be together for a lifetime.
I can do this myself.
I'm sorry, you just keep on talking about whatever
I'm bored anyways.
What about older sister You Qing?
Do you want me to spread a slice of Peruvian raw fish salad for you?
It's okay, thank you.
I'm allergic to Peru.
She doesn't like it.
So... Shrewmouse is your college classmate?
High school classmate.
Then... Cao Ying Jun is your high school teacher?
College professor.
Gosh, so complicated.
I'm so confused right now.
I need to use the restroom.
What about that Zhang Mei Mei? She is...
your high school classmate or college classmate?
Colle... High school.
Then... Why does Mei Nan divorce her husband?
Mei Nan is a guy.
Mei Nan is a guy?
Yes, Mei Nan (handsome guy)... so he's a guy ('Nan' in Chinese).
Are you boneless? Is that it? Leaning all around.
Laugh... laugh... what are you laughing at?
Are your facial nerves overly developed?
How come Li Da Ren's taste is getting worse and worse?
Why such a long face?
Li Da Ren is as shallow as the rest of men in the world
but what's it to you?
He likes the sticky feeling of Chinese yam, what's it to you?
Next time, when something like this happens...
remember to call for me.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- So... - Was it really expensive?
A little over NT$5,000.
Thanks.
Then... next time it's on me.
Okay.
But the Chinese yam noodle tastes really good today.
I think it's good too.
- Really? - Really.
So... I'll drop Maggie off first and then you.
No need to trouble you, you just take Maggie home.
What trouble? It's on the way anyways.
There's really no need to trouble you.
I've got a friend coming to pick me up.
He's here.
- Hi. - Hi, You Qing.
Sorry I kept you waiting so long.
Not at all.
Oh right, this is Da Ren, and Maggie.
Nic.
- Hello. - Hello.
So... we'll be going now. Since I'm so full, I want to take a walk.
Stay with me a bit.
Let's go.
Let's all eat together some other day.
Okay.
We're going.
So... let's go.
Did you eat yet?
Yes.
Is that older sister You Qing's boyfriend?
I'm really sorry.
I don't know what I was thinking, calling you out with such short notice.
Why apologize?
I said it before, you can... call for my rescue... anytime.
Li Da Ren and I...
I mean Li Da Ren is a very good friend of mine.
- But very good doesn't mean we... - Why are you so nervous?
- I'm not nervous. - You are.
Anyways, Li Da Ren and I aren't what you think we are.
Okay.
I'll shut down all my imagination.
I haven't gone for a walk like this in so long.
I suddenly feel... Taipei is really beautiful.
I have this illusion of... walking in a foreign country.
How long has it been since you last traveled abroad?
About over a year.
You need to learn to find time for a break.
If you don't have time to go abroad
then at least take a mini vacation in Taiwan.
If there's a chance, let's go somewhere together.
Did you take a cab here just now?
- Yes. - How much was it?
Don't tell me you're paying me for overtime?
At least I can't let you pay for it.
How much?
So right now, I'm really working overtime?
Actually to be honest, I really want to know...
do you always... answer to all requests by your boss like this?
Isn't that good?
Is it good?
Actually, I'm not sure what's good
and what isn't good.
I just know that...
I'm glad you called me
and it's my pleasure to help you out.
But please also do me a favor...
don't give me overtime pay by any means... or even taxi fare.
Or else, I'd be really hurt.
Was that an expression of disappointment?
What is he disappointed about?
About me?
It can't be me.
Or is it me?
I can't keep on guessing like this.
Why is there police?
Don't worry, I'll walk with you.
Excuse me, what happened?
Our home has been robbed.
Our iron gate was broken off and the it's a mess inside.
Do you want to go up and see if your home is okay?
- Okay, thank you. - Go take a look.
Thanks.
There shouldn't be a problem.
Do you want to take a look inside and see if anything is missing?
Okay, thanks.
Remember to lock all the locks on your door before you sleep.
And all the windows should be locked too, got it?
Okay.
Leave your cell phone by your bed, call me if anything.
[Requirements of ideal boyfriend: good looking but not too handsome]
[Stable job, but not too rich. Nice temper, like an older brother.]
[Shy and not good at chasing girls. Has to be from the same work place.]
[Has a simple family...]
I'll be going if there's nothing else.
You are going?
You...
Are you asleep?
Nope.
You...
You must wait until I fall asleep... before you do.
I feel that you're falling asleep.
Don't worry. I won't fall asleep easily on such an uncomfortable place.
Then...
do you want to...
sleep on the bed?
It's okay, you should sleep now.
Actually...
I... I wouldn't mind.
Thank you for not minding.
But once I lay down, I'm too lazy to move.
Older brother Da Ren...
don't tell me... you... are gay.
You frightened me wide awake.
Otherwise...
why would you... let the girl make the first move in everything?
To ask you out first...
to hold your hands first...
Don't tell me...
even kissing...
the girl has to make the first move too?
I'm not gay.
Maybe because I'm older
so I think too much.
Then...
may I know... what you are thinking?
I'm thinking about...
'moment...'
'first move...'
'passiveness...'
and all the associations of love.
But the more I think, the more unclear it becomes.
Then don't think of anything.
Should I or should I not accept...
a 'pretty good' first move?
Is 'passiveness' a courtesy...
or is it walking along the borders of the rules?
Now the world is even messier in my brain.
What do I do?
Help me.
Can you not pick it up?
A call at such late hour should be an emergency.
Hello.
What's up?
You're acting pretty cool, aren't you?
What pretty cool?
Shouldn't you be so impatient to ask me how I think of 'Older brother Da Ren?'
So what do you think?
Pretty good.
She's very 'Chinese yam.'
Very 'Chinese yam?'
Is 'Chinese yam' an adjective?
You like Chinese yam so much, you definitely get it.
So...
You mean to say...
I should seize this opportunity?
Isn't it a little too late to think about this question now?
- Is it too late? - Of course.
Then when should I have thought of this that isn't too late?
You should have thought about it before you decided to pursue her.
I didn't pursue her.
Correction.
You should have thought about this before you decided to accept her pursuit.
The problem is she never even gave me time to think about this question.
Li Da Ren.
Are you flaunting about it or do men just become jerks as they're older?
I'm pouring my heart out.
Okay.
Then may I ask your heart how my assistant is?
Very good looking.
Very young.
Just like you said.
So tell me something else.
I don't know what else.
Why?
I spoke not even three lines with him, what do you want me to say?
True...
So how far have you and your 'Older brother Da Ren' progressed?
Holding hands.
I'm not cold.
Who is it? Who are you talking to?
You're not home yet?
I'm still at Maggie's place.
Li Da Ren...
You're already so horny, and you're still asking about whether to seize the opportunity?
Excuse me... for interrupting you guys.
It's not what you think it is... I...
Hello...
Cheng You Qing...
Why does it feel sour in my heart?
Why do I feel so unhappy?
Of course it's because I'm afraid my progress is much behind Li Da Ren's.
I still feel that... something's fishy ever since you got back from Taichung?
Why do you say that...
it's impossible for you to love me?
- What is it? - I feel incompetent at my current job.
For him... he deserved it!
Keys to my apartment.
I'm just fine.
Be honest with yourself...
actually you don't just want to be friends with her.
Li Da Ren, what the heck?
- Actually, for the past 15 years... - Don't say it!
