Episode 7
I just want to say...
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I just wanted you to stay away from me.
You're actually very capable.
Your capability
can definitely take you anywhere you want to be.
You understand women very well.
But your understanding
shouldn't become a weapon.
Because you and women are not enemies.
Instead, you're the most special friends.
Friend or foe
is within a flash of thought.
Even if she is hurt by someone
she would still
compliment his strong points.
How is it?
- Super great. - Have another half bowl of rice.
No need, no need...
You just like to force others to overeat.
Eating too much is bad for health. Just look at us.
You're going to talk about figure again, aren't you?
It's all right. Next time you want to eat
just come to find Mama Cheng, and Mama Cheng will cook for you.
I know.
I should be going to work.
Remember...
Next time, bring your girlfriend and let Papa Cheng have a look.
- Okay. - Come on, bottoms up, come on.
Don't drink when you're going to work.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Seriously.
Good kid.
Then... I'll just leave the bowl here and get ready to go.
Okay, leave them here. I'll take care of them.
Cheng You Qing is really acting so mysteriously all day long
she hasn't appeared even up to now.
It's all right, I'm not here to see her anyway.
- Then... I'm going. I'm going. - Okay.
- Have a safe trip. - Okay.
You...
I...
He's already been fixing my computer for me for half a day.
You haven't picked up your phone, where have you been?
I went to see an exhibit.
What exhibit did you see?
Escort Da Ren out.
It's okay Mama Cheng, I'm not a guest anyway.
I'm going.
Bye. See you.
- Careful on the way there. - Okay.
You Qing, come and eat.
I ate brunch outside already.
Something is fishy.
What's fishy?
There's something fishy between your daughter and Da Ren.
You smell fishy.
Why are you sitting so close to me? It's so hot.
Did you have a fight with Da Ren?
No way.
Then why are you two so fishy?
No means no, so there's nothing fishy either.
You better have not.
If you have, you must tell me immediately.
So in case someday you two break apart
I don't still treat him as our maintenance man every single day.
Give that to me. If I do that, I'll be very embarrassed.
Even if our relationship is still intact
please don't always call 'Li Da Ren, Li Da Ren,' and make me so in debt, all right?
I knew there was something going on.
All right, all right.
If you don't want to tell, then don't. I'm too lazy to ask anyway.
Anyhow, even if you don't say it, I know it anyway.
All right.
Are you awake?
Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off...
I won't ever drink again.
So why didn't we go to Yilan County that other time?
Because it was my suggestion...
so as per usual, I had all of your '16 votes' to boycott me.
Really?
Anyway, at that time, as long as it was my idea, all of you opposed.
I wasn't that bored. You talk as if I only existed to oppose you.
You still won't admit it?
During our fair, I suggested to design a haunted house
and you said we boys had bad intentions.
You forced us to do some 'Man Power' dance.
And there was that time when Professor Meng's wife was ill.
I proposed to send her chicken extract.
You insisted on cooking sesame oil chicken and said only that was loving.
We had to spend so much time putting out the fire.
Do you remember? Do you remember that time?
I do.
I don't get it.
Why did you hate my ideas so much?
I don't know.
But at least there was one thing we both agreed upon.
What was it?
Ding Li Wei is a bastard.
Cheng You Qing.
I called Ding Li Wei a bastard before you and he started dating.
But you
only finally admitted that he was a bastard after he cheated on you.
So did we really agree on this?
Why doesn't it count?
If one concurs to others unconditionally without consciously examining something
then it's called 'following blindly.'
So you were testing out this principle personally?
Right. How heroic I was.
Never mind.
I won't talk about Ding Li Wei
so you won't flip out on me again.
Why do you say that?
Talk about him all you want.
I'm drunk anyway.
When I wake up tomorrow morning, I won't remember anything.
Then I can really talk about him?
You know...
The time I disliked Cheng You Qing the most in my entire life
was when you were in a relationship with Ding Li Wei.
Why?
That woman lost all her judgment and had no personality left either.
When Ding Li Wei says to head east, she heads east.
When Ding Li Wei says to wait, she dares not to go anywhere else.
It was like her entire life was controlled by Ding Li Wei.
She wasn't 'Cheng You Qing' at all.
It was because of love, all right?
Isn't 'love' to take a step back, to compromise, to think for the other?
False.
Did you ever think about why a man would love you?
It's because he likes how you originally looked, the way you treated things
and your attitude toward everything.
But why is it that when a woman gets in a relationship
she completely loses all logical reason?
Or, she loses herself when she's attached to love.
That's because people say we can't always be obedient in 'love'
so we have to speak one way and think another.
When we obviously want something, we have to force ourselves to say no
when we're obviously very sad, we have to force ourselves to say 'I don't care.'
And others say, we can't be too headstrong in 'love.'
So we cooperate. We make sacrifices.
What happens in the end? You men would say, it's too tiresome this way.
Then don't listen to others, just be yourself.
Be myself?
Do you really believe if us women were ourselves 'love' wouldn't fall apart?
You men should be reflecting on yourselves thoroughly.
Why is it that whenever what you want becomes what's yours
you feel bored and start to search for your next target?
Fine.
Okay, I'll admit to this.
Most men love 'fresh and new.'
But Cheng You Qing
you're not a boring woman.
The problem is, you have a problematic taste.
So I beg you
stop being a magnet for rotten men, can you do that?
So you don't think of yourself as a rotten man.
Then why did Xue Xin Yi and Feng Hui Ru break up with you?
You want me to be honest?
Of course.
Because they wouldn't accept my best friend.
- Knock it off. - Believe what you will.
- Cheers. - Cheers. Come on.
There's none left.
The question is, what kind of love
is the 'right love'?
Find a right person.
Then love passionately.
The question is
what is your definition of the 'right person'?
Someone that you can be together with...
and at the same time, you can comfortably be yourself.
If that's the case, it's enough to have a friend already
why bother to be in a relationship?
The problem is, what about our 'desire'?
Right.
You can't possibly make love to a friend.
Your total is 383.
- What? - Nothing.
That is why I say
the reason there are so many cases of love gone wrong in the world
is mostly because the lower half of men's bodies.
So sore.
Don't tell me you women don't want it.
Don't you women deliberately tease us
and then crown us with the charge of being 'overwhelmed by lust'?
It's obviously a matter of mutual gratification
but you always claim that we are taking advantage.
Haven't you taken advantage of us?
Why are you complaining to me?
I didn't take advantage of you.
What? Do you want to? Come on then, you're welcome.
Do you think I don't dare to do it?
Do you think I would be afraid of your 'dare'?
Why do people always say
that it's impossible for pure friendship to exist between men and women?
I think they're just speaking from experience.
So...
you...
don't think of me as...
a woman?
It is you who don't think of me as a man.
Then...
why do you say
you can't possibly love me?
Because...
Go pick it up.
I don't want Miss 'Older Brother Da Ren' to misunderstand.
I'm going to the restroom.
Hello?
We're chatting.
She's fine now.
She just had an unpleasant incident at work.
Why did you hide?
I'm asking you, why did you hide?
Because I hate to listen to Li Da Ren have sweet talks with her.
Because I'm mad at him for having such bad taste.
Because I...
Because I don't even know why I'm jealous either.
I appreciate your honesty.
But...
why can't I ever do it?
Older brother Da Ren...
Older brother Da Ren?
Older brother Da Ren...
Older brother Da Ren?
Hello?
He fell asleep.
Then... then he's not coming back to Taipei tonight?
I'm afraid he can't.
Then... then you... but... if then you...
Don't worry...
Basically, he's a woman to me
and he thinks of me as a man too.
I... I didn't mean that.
- But... you... like this... - Then that's good.
Good night.
Hold on... hello?
Hello?
Li Da Ren.
Li Da Ren?
Sleeping like a baby.
You awake?
My arm is a little numb.
Morning.
We're here.
Then I'll get your luggage for you.
There's no need. I'll just get it myself.
Your safety belt isn't...
Let me.
I... I can do it.
It's easier on my side.
Let me.
I'll take it inside for you.
It's okay, I can do it myself.
Thanks, thanks.
What?
Is there something on my face?
It's me who has something on my mind.
What is it?
That day at Taichung
you slept in the same room with older sister You Qing?
We chatted all night long and didn't even sleep.
Nonsense. You fell asleep while talking to me on the phone.
But then later on I woke up.
Really?
Cheng You Qing and I
are friends.
Are you always so nice to your friends?
Important ones.
So if older sister You Qing and I fell into the sea at the same time
- who would you save first? Would you... - Please...
I've already answered five times to these useless hypothetical questions.
Really...
so your answer is...
I won't let you fall into the sea at the same time as she does.
Foul play.
Let me tell you.
The heart is divided into the left atrium, the ventriculus sinister
the right atrium, and the ventriculus dexter.
So it can fit many kinds of emotions.
To me, Cheng You Qing
is like... my mom or my little sister.
Then you have to promise me that your ventriculus dexter is only for me.
It's been empty for a long time, please move in as soon as possible.
Knock knock knock, I'm about to move in.
I'm just kidding.
Hello?
Miss...
Are you lonely?
I'm so lonely.
Mister.
Are you coming?
I understand your loneliness.
And I sympathize with your loneliness.
I advise you to
rent an idle drama to watch.
Imagine you are the male lead
and that you hopelessly fall in love with the female lead.
Even though those stories
sometimes are unimaginably tragic.
But to cry over it
is more meaningful than to call and harass others.
Good luck to you.
Sorry.
There's no need to apologize.
Stupid.
My entire life is meant to be used to protect you.
Is it really all right to fall in love with a little brother like him?
What about afterward?
Can we really be happy together?
What's wrong with your mouth?
You look like a duck.
Because I'm mad.
Who pissed you off?
You did.
What did I do?
Why didn't you tell me about your promotion to researcher?
No official papers have been given to me. Any changes are possible.
Plus, I had only confirmed it just now.
Then from now on, we won't be able to work together.
Isn't it good this way?
If we stay together every day, there will likely be conflicts.
It would be awkward among our coworkers as well...
like right now.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Put away your puffer fish face. It's very ugly.
Then you must promise me to call me at least three times a day.
So strict?
It's not strictness, it's management.
Love needs management, and management needs to be implemented.
I don't want to be like my mom
who was abandoned by my dad when she was already 30.
Her entire life
she's the official wife in name only.
Your mom's
loyalty to marriage is very touching.
But...
But what?
But...
sometimes text messages are more beautiful than phone calls.
Then...
two calls and one text message?
Please. Please?
All right.
Do you want to come upstairs and have a seat?
Well, I haven't told my mom about my promotion yet.
I'm afraid if I go back too late, she'll be asleep.
Sleep early.
So...
when are you going to make me the stir fried rice with egg?
Don't worry.
We have seven or eight days of vacation days coming up
then I'll make sure you eat until you're satisfied.
- Okay, night. - Night.
Older brother Da Ren.
What is it?
I still feel that... you're strange after you came back from Taichung.
You think too much.
A woman's sixth sense is the most accurate.
Don't worry, there's nothing.
Perhaps it's the promotion that's been diverting my attention a little.
Sorry, I...
The second rule of love management and implementation...
We must kiss good-bye.
Kiss good-bye.
[Requirements for the 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 workplace.] (scratched off)
[Has a simple family. Would marry me within two years.]
I was completely ignored by Da Ren today.
He didn't turn back to look at me in any of the photos.
I'll go draw circles on the ground in a corner.
Is anyone planning to get married?
I have a diamond ring here.
I'm selling it for 20 percent off.
You're really not getting married?
It's been a month since we decided to be friends.
Long live the friendship.
Are you sure that friendship is the better option?
Aren't you and Cheng You Qing good?
Why do people always say
that it's impossible for pure friendship to exist between men and women.
I think they're just speaking from experience.
So...
You...
don't think of me
as a woman.
Cheng You Qing and I...
Actually I...
Why do you say that
you can't possibly love me?
You Qing.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you want to know the answer badly?
What answer?
Li Da Ren, are you sleepwalking?
I have never been so clear in mind.
So I came to tell you...
it's not that I won't love you.
Actually, for the past 15 years...
- I've always... - Don't say it!
If you say it, we can't be friends anymore.
So I'm begging you...
don't let me lose my most important friend, okay?
So...
I won't possibly love you.
Hello?
Hello.
What's up?
I need to talk.
I can't believe it's not even a month since our break-up
yet she's already in an ambiguous relationship with her psychologist.
What if she were to see a urologist?
It's possible that even if she takes a taxi, she would run off with the driver.
What's it to you if she's in an ambiguous relationship with someone else?
Don't forget, she's only your friend now.
- Friend? - Friend.
Friend!
Even if we are just... just friends.
She should still have some conscious... and some conscience.
At least grieve over our love.
So what you mean to say is
you decided to be friends with her only under the condition that
you both must remain single?
No, I didn't.
To forget about a love for seven or eight years, you at least need some time.
Are you really sure that after a couple years, you still can adjust to her new boyfriend?
Are you sure?
Maybe. I probably can.
I think maybe not.
Zhao Mei Nan.
Be honest with yourself.
You don't really just want to be friends with her.
To be honest, you're just afraid of marriage, right?
Then what?
You begin to feel you're losing her.
Then you are not reconciled to it.
Right?
Then what should I do now?
Take your 20-percent-off diamond ring and put it directly on her hand. That's it.
This is the last cup of double mocha. -Nic.
P.S. Maybe you won't believe me, but I must say it.
If I loved women, it would definitely be you.
I can't call Li Da Ren.
He doesn't call me...
I absolutely can't call him first.
Mom.
It's me.
I'm very lovable, right?
Don't ask about it.
Don't ask me, just answer me, will you?
I'm very lovable, right?
So there definitely will be someone to love me, right?
I'm super great.
Cheng You Qing, be strong.
Why are you always staring?
Pretty.
I meant the person.
Out of your mind.
Uncle Bai.
- You don't have work today? - Today's our yearly vacation.
Then tonight, we can have a nice drink together.
Drinking again?
I'm pretty lucky today.
How is it? Pretty right?
Pretty.
Go help mom bring out that other piece of cloth from the bucket to bask.
Xiao Yuan.
Come and listen to this part.
Today...
I start my foolish living pace again.
Yesterday...
compared to the sounds of nature from the woods
the breeze stroking one's hair
and the sun you raise up with your extended hands
is even more beautiful.
Why are their yesterdays
always so beautiful?
Because they can't forget their lovers from yesterday.
Therefore, you shouldn't sympathize with him at all.
He deserves it.
For a person to live in this world, he or she can't always linger on yesterday
and look forward to tomorrow, right?
Today, present, right now... are the most real.
Xiao Yuan.
I'm going to publish a book for you, and write down all these amazing quotes of yours.
It's so interesting.
The title of this book should be...
'Don't listen to their nonsense."
Their? Who are they?
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Bai.
How can you give such a fantastic book title!
I... I must write it down. Otherwise I'll forget.
You... you're really writing it down? No...
- I'm just kidding with you. - I'm not kidding with you.
I'm telling you. As soon as this book is published... It's better than those
spiritual growth ones and those positive thinking ones... those...
- It's far more interesting than those. - Right.
I never knew myself as this great.
I don't know if when Cheng You Qing and I are 50, whether we can be friends like this.
I definitely will buy it.
I will be more famous than the writer of 'Harry Potter.' What's her name?
Zhao Mei Nan, what's up?
Here to report good news?
Huh?
Do you see it? Hold on.
I think there's something shining.
Really?
Let me try to glue it up.
Right... Is it here?
Yes.
- It fell. - Shrewmouse, can you do it?
You're the one to talk? It's all your fault, dropping your ring into the sewer.
I was waiting for her for so long until she finally came out.
So I stopped her while holding the ring.
Who would have thought my hands got slippery so...
All right, let me try.
Yours doesn't work.
Darling.
How long did you want me to wait for you on the other side?
Hurry and pick it up.
You're not going to go after her?
The ring.
She wants you, not the ring.
- Hurry and go. - I'll pick it up for you.
Darling.
God.
Is the ring more important or is love more important?
Sometimes
I don't even know what I'm persisting in.
Another centimeter at most, but
last time what I told you was mainly that the shoe's shape is too wide.
But you can't make almost all of them like that.
But sometimes office ladies need to wear some innovative colors.
Otherwise, it's always black and dull, so what do you want?
Okay, I know what you said is okay, but
you know matching is important in clothes.
So shoes that are pretty and can match all are usually black, white, or earth tones.
You Qing.
Are you sure your department can sell all these 500 pairs?
Yes, like I said on the phone, 500 for this one
500 for this one, and 300 for that.
500 for this and 300 for that, are you sure?
- Right. - Then I'll order these.
Okay, thanks.
Hello, this is Cheng You Qing.
Didn't I tell you already last time?
Office of the district manager of northern district.
- Yes. - Is it President Zhang?
Forward it to me.
- I'm sorry. Can you please... - I'm sorry, can you hold on please?
Okay, thanks.
You're working late too?
Everyone's gone home already.
Days without an assistant.
My workload is three times what I normally have.
So, are you finished?
Is this new place good?
It smells pretty good.
Welcome, is it table for two?
- Yes. - Please sit anywhere you wish.
Lala?
Older sister You Qing, what a coincidence!
Why are you by yourself?
Well, Henry is on a business trip, and I didn't know what to eat by myself.
If I had known, I would've asked you two.
Be careful. There's oil, there's oil.
Hand me the peas please.
- Peas? - Yes.
- All? - Put it in.
Be careful.
My phone's ringing. Get it for me please.
It's... in my jacket.
- The pocket? - Yes, the pocket.
Hello?
Yes, big brother.
You're welcome, you're welcome. It's a piece of cake.
Okay, okay. I'm cooking. All right, bye bye.
Who was that?
You Qing's older brother.
Really.
So...
Why did he call?
About a plane ticket.
So you not only have to help older sister You Qing deal with her love problems
but also take care of her family's plane tickets?
It's really great to have a friend like you.
Or do you want to exchange with her and try being my best friend?
No way.
At least... I have something older sister You Qing doesn't have.
Boyfriend style stir fried rice with egg.
Or has older sister You Qing also had your stir fried rice with egg?
Nope.
This is a special offer for my girlfriend.
The water is boiling. Go take the condensed corn soup.
Hurry. You put it in.
Go ahead, put it in.
This bag too.
Hold on.
- It fell in. - It fell in?
How did it fall in?
Careful, it's hot.
We were just thinking that a new spicy hot pot restaurant opened near our company.
Who could have thought, you are even faster than we are.
Of course I have to move fast. When Henry's here, I don't even dare to eat spicy hot pot.
Because then I become smelly, and when we kiss, it'll be very unromantic.
Little sister Lala.
Older sister has some advice for you.
Okay, okay.
In front of two off duty and lonely ex-girlfriends
you should speak more sensitively.
Sorry.
Two ex-girlfriends?
I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Henry's ex- ex-girlfriend.
So we are...
Why does Henry always date people from our company?
You don't even know each other well enough.
To blindly marry each other like that, is it good?
Hi, papa Li and mama Li.
It's uncle Bai.
Li Da Ren.
If it weren't for you, You Qing and I would still be together.
Actually... are we really suitable for each other?
