Episode 4
Li Xiu Qi.
Do you have a minute?
No.
Excellent.
Help me fill out a survey.
I?m busy right now, ask me later.
You get concert tickets for
filling it out.
You can go with Ting Ting.
I?m too busy to go to a concert.
I?m in the middle of writing a very important report.
My survey?s also very important, okay?
It?s about environmental pollution.
As our student body president,
how can you not have a sense of responsibility?
What does that have to do with anything?
Responsibility to protect the environment as a person.
Alright, alright.
Let?s start.
First question,
?What do you think is the primary reason the environment is polluted??
A. Factories carelessly discarding their waste products.
B. The large amount of chemicals being used.
C. Waste products from daily life.
D. Gasoline.
Mm.
Second question,
?What kind of girl do you like??
A. Sexy.
B. Charming.
C. Lively.
D. Mature.
What kind of environmental survey is this?
Just answer.
Go with your gut.
I?m not doing this sort of ridiculous survey.
Alright, alright.
Next question, next question. Number three,
?Which type of environment should we be protecting??
A. The ocean.
B. The atmosphere.
C. The ecosystem.
D. Native plants and animals.
Probably all of them.
No wonder you?re the student president.
Question 4,
?What kind of clothes do you like on a girl??
A. Jeans.
B. Short skirt.
C. Bikini.
D. See-through fabric.
What is this?
Jun Cai.
C?mere, c?mere.
What?re you doing, Li Xiu Qi?
We?re not done yet.
You finish this environment protection survey.
Environment protection?
Why would I?
You can get concert tickets.
Really?
Li Xiu Qi, where?re you going?
I can go on a date with Xiaoli
if I complete this.
That idiot.
Sexy, charming...
I like both types.
Can I only chose one answer?
No sense of responsibility.
A. Jeans.
B. Short skirts.
C. Bikini.
Short skirts.
What the heck.
Couldn't ask anything.
Why go after that Li Xiu Qi nonstop?
How about those tickets?
Right.
You?
But I painstakingly filled out this survey.
Are you an idiot?
Can?t you see Ting Ting and I asked Li Xiu Qi to fill out that survey on purpose?
We?re trying to find out what kind of girl he likes.
Why did you show up for?
So that?s it.
Then
you should?ve said so earlier.
You could?ve asked me.
I know what type he likes.
Luo Man,
you help me try to find out what kind of girl he likes.
Think about it.
Okay.
Looks like you need some of my creativity.
Let?s go.
No...
You two...
didn?t you hear me?
What the heck?
Even Xiu Qi?s Qzone is privatized.
*QQ is a instant messaging service that is very popular especially in Asia. It has a sister social network site called Qzone also developed by the same company that functions like Facebook or MySpace.
Luo Man, hurry up and help me out.
Don?t sleep.
Help me out, think.
Wake up, get up.
Oh no.
I won?t be able to get a spot at the library.
Come on, help me.
Why are you on his QQ anyway?
Find a clue
so I can know what kind of girl Xiu Qi likes.
How can I?
Just go straight to his dorm
and get on his computer?
I use it all the time.
That?s a great idea!
Hurry up, get up and go.
No, I wanna sleep.
Get up.
Don?t push me!
Are you going?
No!
Don?t push me!
Luo-shixiong.
You?
That?
Luo-shixiong.
Ting Ting.
Ting Ting?
I?ll help you, come on.
Careful.
Goodness.
The lengths I?ll go to
for Li Xiu Qi.
I?ll do anything, even embarrass myself by climbing through a window.
What happened to Ma Jun Cai?
Ting Ting.
Why are you here too?
Hi.
I?m feeling less and less safe!
Ma Jun Cai, get out here.
Where?s Xiu Qi?s computer? Hurry up and get on it.
Over here...
It opened, it opened.
Why are you looking at Xiu Qi?s computer?
There?s nothing interesting.
Shut up.
*She clicks on "Diary"
There?s nothing to see.
You wanna the good stuff, look at Wang Min Qiang?s.
That.
This is private.
It?s a picture folder,
it must have a secret inside.
What password would he use I don?t know?
Let me, let me.
Let me.
Watch.
Ma Jun Cai.
How?d you know his password?
Are you joking?
I told you before,
other than his mom, I?m the person who best understands him.
I thought Xiu Qi?s password
would be really complicated.
Don?t just look at the image he projects.
He?s a very simple human organism,
still not fully grown.
This has to be the style he likes.
That brat.
He?s a little interesting.
Ma Jun Cai,
you understand Xiu Qi the best.
I trust you.
Last time Luo Man fixed me up,
it was truthfully very ugly.
Next time, you help me.
Dad.
I really am busy.
My phone, my phone?s ringing.
See?
Dad!
Professor Luo!
Please give us your guidance!
Alright.
Then I?ll
undertake this impossible task.
Hey, Ma Jun Cai,
why?re you wearing an over-shirt?
Did you come to practice or what?
What?s this called?
So there?s a white shirt underneath.
Your shoes are all wrong too!
You, what?re you---
Shoes!
Shoes, shoes, shoes.
Your shorts aren?t allowed either.
Shorts.
Shorts!
Dad,
don?t keep looking for excuses.
Ma Jun Cai?s prepared everything.
You can?t nitpick.
Then I?ll just
give a demonstration.
Mm.
No pick?
Are you
a green diamond?
This isn?t bad.
Try on this one.
What?s this?
Why isn?t there anything (on it)?
It?s good there?s nothing.
Do you know what kind of girl guys like?
Innocent, not shallow.
Pure yet sexy.
Don?t always wear these neon things.
Rare things are more valuable, you catch my drift?
Think about those photos on Xiu Qi?s computer.
Men like that type.
Forget it,
you wouldn?t understand anyway.
As long as you wear that white dress,
you don?t necessarily have to be able to control
that aura.
You controlled it.
Here.
And here.
This part.
You need to rethink these circled parts.
I got close enough.
Don?t all math problems have a margin of error?
Excuses again.
Stop talking and get to work.
Xiu Qi.
Ting Ting,
you look really pretty today.
Finally, results!
Yeah!
You still haven?t solved number 38.
Where do you think you?re going?
I still have a bread here.
Do you really want to go back?
I?ve never met such a despicable man.
Scholars who would rather die than suffer insult.
Xiu?
This part.
Try replacing it with this.
Hurry up.
This part.
You messed it up completely.
Stop talking, you want the bread or not?
Shameless.
Punk.
This part.
Ting Ting.
Ting Ting, that...
You want this hair clip?
I bought it for you.
Bought it, you blockhead?
What?s the use of a hair clip now?
Idiot!
That...
I...
What did I do wrong now?
Hi, jie!
Zhang Hao!
Right.
I?ve wiped the glasses down,
cleaned the chairs,
and repaired the broken faucet.
Good boy.
Oh, uh...
Still no news?
News?
Oh, you mean that girl from Santorini.
There must not be.
You would?ve told me right away if there was.
Zhang Hao,
actually, she hasn?t come back to the pub
since that day you saw her.
She must be avoiding you.
How about
you stop searching?
Napoleon said,
?My dictionary doesn?t have the word ?impossible.??
It?s the same for me.
I?ll definitely find her.
Sorry to bother you.
I?m off.
Zhang Hao,
do you have time tonight?
We?ve been short on people for the night shift.
Would you like to come help out?
Sure.
Who?s that?
Me.
I?m
altering it a bit.
?A bit??
It?s obviously a scam.
Don?t say that.
I registered on a new social website.
When I have to upload a photo,
of course I have to package myself.
Jun Cai.
Don?t scam people.
I finally understand why you?re beat up by the people you meet online.
What are you going to do when you enter into society?
Could you stop?
Caring Brother.
I?m a sensitive Pisces.
I can?t take hearing this.
Luo-shixiong,
are you really that interested in seeing my naked body?
You always choose this way.
Come on, come on!
I?m telling you,
despite me being a sensitive Pisces---
Whatever!
Get in!
I?m warning you, you act like this again,
I won?t lock the door,
I?ll throw you out the window.
Luo Man, how many times have I told you?
Climbing through the window is dangerous.
You shut your mouth, too.
What?s up with you today?
Who are you angry at?
You!
Ting Ting?s done so much for you.
How come you?re so hard-hearted?
She?s done something?
You absolute blockhead.
Ting Ting?s been depressed for a couple days all because of you!
Are you finished?
I?m going to the library.
Hold on.
Are you coming to Ting Ting?s birthday party tomorrow?
We?ll see.
Hold on!
?We?ll see??
Give me an answer now!
I could go,
but you?ll have to finish and revise all those math problems.
I?m off.
Here! There?s still a person in here!
Shut up!
He makes things so difficult.
Math problems...
I?ll sacrifice myself for a friend.
You all left?
No, in here! I?m still in here!
In here!
You?
Who?s gonna get me?
Let... let me out of here.
We?ll have a birthday party for Ting Ting tomorrow!
Tomorrow night, 6 pm,
at our usual karaoke place.
Room number 7.
No matter if you?re busy,
you have to come.
Why is the party in a karaoke room?
You don?t want to eat out?
You only want to sing?
How about we go to a restaurant instead?
My American friend.
You just don?t understand.
Our karaoke places in China
aren?t the same as yours.
At our karaoke places, you can sing and eat.
The food you can get there is definitely comparable to a restaurant.
Okay!
Tomorrow night at 6, even if the Earth explodes,
I?ll be there.
Could you not use that extreme example?
I-I... I?m not going.
You think I could?
An adult like me going around with you kids?
Besides, I have some music to work on.
Oh, alright, alright.
I?ll go.
That okay? Just to be with my daughter.
I?ll go.
P-professor Luo,
are you really coming?
What would it be like without him?
I?m not saying for sure.
If I?m not busy, I?ll go.
If I am busy, there?s no way I can come.
Where?s Ting Ting?
How come she?s not at the meeting?
Right.
She hasn?t been at the last two.
What?s going on?
Luo Man,
you need to tell Ting Ting that
our meetings aren?t just for fun.
You can?t just not come.
I know.
Since our lead singer isn?t here,
no practice today either.
I?m busy, so I?ll leave first.
See you tomorrow.
6:00.
Karaoke. Okay?
Okay.
Zhang You Tiao,
it?s okay if you can?t come tomorrow too.
I?ll be there!
You!
I know.
I?ll come.
?Tonight is over,
?and we were sober.
?You said goodbye, and I try not to be hurt.
?Seems like forever.
?Nothing has changed, but I will always be the same for you.
?When you squeeze me tight,
?Everything feels all so right.
?Don?t tell me no more lies,
?And your reason why.
?I?ve tried so many times to see me in your eyes.
?But I realize, oh I realize.
?The night is over,
?Lord, it's over.
?Love so beautiful that we let it slip away.
?The sound of my voice, a smile on my face.
?I?ll always be the same for you.
Hi, Ding Ling-jie!
Hi!
Ding Ling.
What?s that?
Water is tasteless.
I always put sugar in it.
That girl was pretty good.
It had an older song feel to it.
Good like when my classmate Zhang sang before.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Has the girl who just performed left?
Not long ago.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Hello?
Hai Pi-ge.
I?m not busy.
I?m free right now.
If I told you I?m going to have a performance soon,
I?d be busy.
Prepare for the new album?
Okay, okay.
Eat in a bit?
Song Qing,
I really don?t get you.
You?re not on a diet,
so why won?t you go to Ting Ting?s birthday party?
How many words could I memorize
in the time I?d be at the party?
It?s not that long.
Don?t tell me you study on your birthday too?
I?ve never celebrated my birthday.
Unlike you guys, I don?t get presents.
It?s enough if my parents remember my birthday.
This is for your birthday.
?You?re electric, you?re bright.
?There?s no better way.
?You?re the meaning,
?The sky, the earth, the mandate of the gods.
?No other truth other than I love you.
Come on,
more energy, more energy, more energy.
?I?m three parts sober, seven parts drunk,
?Hobbling to your front door,
?Feeling chilly from the wind.
Pour me a cup of juice.
Pour me a cup of juice!
Hurry up!
Napkin.
Napkin!
Luo-shixiong, I?ll wipe your mouth.
Stop hitting me.
Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Luo-shixiong, look.
Zhang You Tiao!
No hitting, no hitting.
Luo Man,
you?re really interrupting my studying.
Interrupting, you blockhead?
Shut up!
Luo Man, I?m reading a book.
Then why?re you talking so much?
Why?re you so dazed?
Open it up.
Okay.
What?s this?
I like tidying someone?s things.
All of this is things someone didn?t want.
A girl?s things.
You like her.
Hey, tomboy,
stay away from Li Xiu Qi.
Yeah.
Looking like a tomboy all day long,
you?re so ugly.
Th?
I?m not done with her!
Yeah.
Luo Man!
Get outta the way.
Luo Man.
You?re dead-meat.
Hurry run, Xiu Qi!
What?s going on?
Li Xiu Qi, why?re you in a daze?
Hurry up over here.
Let?s go.
Luo Man,
why are you wearing a dress today?
Because they called me a tomboy.
Don?t worry about them.
Luo-shixiong,
it?s rude to hit me!
Now you?re like a woman.
Where?s Li Xiu Qi?
Don?t know. Bathroom I guess.
He?s been gone for so long.
Couldn?t have fallen in.
Must?ve ran away.
That punk.
I?ll go find him.
Luo Man.
Luo Man!
Get up.
Your birthday present, Ting Ting.
Get lost!
You like her.
Li Xiu Qi, that punk, ran away really fast.
Can?t even catch him.
Should I go back?
How can I face Ting Ting if I do?
Forget it, I won?t go back.
Oh no.
Where?s my cellphone?
You thought your Route Eleven could catch him?
Route Eleven?
Who taught you that?
Using weird phrases.
Here.
Hey!
You should say thanks.
As if.
If I hadn?t realized so quickly,
would you get another job to afford another cellphone
while eating less bread?
I doubt it.
You?
Me.
You, you, you.
Me, me, me.
Luo-shixiong is bristling with anger.
How come you know these nonsense phrases?
I?m so smart, aren?t I?
You wish!
That wasn?t a compliment.
How can you be so brazen?
But
although you?re brazen and hardworking,
that Santorini girl won?t acknowledge you.
So effective.
Being this age is really annoying.
All sorts of people set you up.
Recently, she introduced me to one.
Did she?
Hold on.
I?m not mistaken.
You really came back
to order some fried rice with egg?
I didn?t come to argue with you.
I?m here to meet someone.
Alright.
Sir.
Your menu.
C-could you recommend something?
I wouldn?t dare.
That way, when you pay the bill, you can?t say I bothered you again.
This then.
You?re sure?
You want this one?
Yeah.
Alrighty.
Xiaoyu,
give this customer a bottle of red wine.
The expensive kind.
Well? Well?
What do you think?
Really handsome.
And a doctor.
He really suits you.
He?s the older brother of my friend.
They?re insisting I meet him.
But I keep thinking
he?s not my style at all.
He?s older.
Almost 40.
Tell me,
is he
too old for me?
No way.
Men get more mature as they age,
and they understand how to dote on woman.
Then again,
I still can?t believe you?re over 30.
To tell the truth,
sometimes when I go out without any makeup,
a lot of people mistake me for a college student.
More like the mother of one.
Daughter.
Not here yet.
A well-known producer invited me out to eat.
We?re going to talk about that new album.
Right!
Right, right! Hai Pi-ge.
What ?Hai Pi-ge??
I?m asking you whether the light bulb went out at home.
Did you buy a new one?
Of course people bought it.
Dad.
I?m telling you,
every album he?s produced has been a hit.
When this album comes out, I'm guessing
it?ll be in the Asian top ten.
Top.
Right, top ten will be no problem.
Hello?
No, no, no.
I can?t be that boastful.
I can?t always brag.
Okay, alright.
We?ll talk at home.
Bye.
This... this...
What?s going on?
Maybe Zhang You Tiao broke it.
I?m scared these kinds of men will be too cocky.
I'm not sure if that man will be.
Hello?
Hai Pi-ge.
I?m-I?m... I?m...
I?m here.
I?m sitting by the window.
I-I?ll go get you.
Can?t come?
Can?t make it?
It?s fine.
It?s fine, it?s fine.
T-then some other day.
Okay.
Another day, another day.
Excuse me, sir,
in a restaurant,
you have to eat.
Eat.
Here you go.
If you would please
pay the bill.
I changed my clothes today.
So...
So I didn?t bring any money.
I?ll pay you back another day.
This.
Leave it.
When you have money, come back and get it.
Who are you?
You have the wrong person. I don?t know you.
Although you?re brazen and hardworking,
that girl from Santorini won?t acknowledge you.
She must have a reason for doing that.
Waiting until I can ask her in person is fine.
I'll see her again.
