Episode 10
Are you sure about this?
There's no way.
How is there no way?
Luo Man was staring at him.
Who was Luo Man looking at?
Get lost.
Xiu Qi, look closely.
I am looking closely.
It doesn?t make any sense.
How could Luo Man...
She wouldn?t like that type.
Luo Man?s not an ordinary person.
Who knows what she thinks of as beautiful.
So Luo-shixiong
likes this type.
I like what type?
Luo Man.
We all know.
You like that old librarian, don?t you?
What librarian?
When I came here yesterday,
you kept staring at him.
Luo Man.
You go into a daze 100 times a day.
What is going on exactly?
It?s nothing.
Did you come to return books?
Just give them to me.
Luo Man,
you haven?t been acting normal these past few days.
Then, you were staring at that old librarian
so I just?
Oh please, dajie.
I was looking at the calendar behind him,
wondering when payday is.
Alright, Luo Man.
Ting Ting was just concerned about you.
Don?t get angry.
Actually,
that old guy wasn?t too bad.
Go ahead and give it a shot.
Shut up!
Ting Ting, why didn?t you ask me?
Instead, you told these two.
I didn?t tell Zhang Hao, he eavesdropped.
No.
I overheard.
Could you guys not worry about me in the future?
I?m busy working.
How can I have time to have a crush?
Luo Man?s temper?s getting more and more explosive.
Why is she so agitated?
If she had told us we were wrong earlier,
we wouldn?t have bothered.
Even Luo Man really
has a secret crush on the old librarian,
why would you go running to tell Xiu Qi?
B-because...
Because Luo Man and Xiu Qi are childhood friends.
Xiu Qi really understands Luo Man.
Right. I understand her the most.
Just like I said,
no way she?d like that type.
Xiu Qi.
You have a tough job.
You help her fix so many of her issues
just because you?re childhood friends.
It?s quite tiring.
Honey, is that pretty?
You can tell right away that this outfit
is the style Xiu Qi likes.
Does she want to buy it because he likes it?
Doesn?t suit you.
Which color should I choose.
Honey, you help me choose, too.
That one.
That one?s not pretty.
How about this one? It?s nice.
Okay.
Why isn?t she choosing the one I chose?
Could that be the color Xiu Qi likes?
No question. That must be it.
This is too much.
Ting Ting,
let?s break up.
What did you say?
I said, let?s break up!
Are you out of your mind?
I am.
I am out of my mind.
It?s clear to me you like someone else,
yet I still treat you well and like you.
If that?s not crazy, what is?
Who says I like someone else?
Tell me clearly what?s going on.
No need to explain.
I saw you and Li Xiu Qi
having a date in the study room.
You could have just told me
if you didn?t want to be together. I?ll let go.
Why would you deceive me?
That was because?
What?
No need to say it.
I?m a Pisces.
Very sensitive.
How could you be so suspicious of me?
Okay.
L-let?s break up then.
I don?t need to be with someone like you.
No, who?s breaking up with who here?
You actually said you?re breaking up with me?
Fine. It?s the same either way.
Here.
Your junk.
Phone: Tang Bo Wen
Hello?
Why didn?t you answer your phone before?
I was practicing.
I put my phone on silent.
Are you still in the practice room?
Yeah.
Do you need something?
We agreed to eat with my parents tonight.
Do you still remember?
I?m tired today.
Can we do it another day?
Shu Qing.
I already told my parents.
If I suddenly tell them I?m not coming,
they?ll wonder.
I?m really tired today.
How about
I come by the school to pick you up?
Hello? Mom.
I might not be able to make it to dinner with Shu Qing.
I need to take care of something at the company.
Right.
Company work.
Okay.
Alright. Bye-bye.
We first met at?
The bridge by the pond.
The first time we held hands was at?
The movie theater.
Mm.
Where was our most recent date at?
Really? It was the library.
I got it, I got it.
Your reaction?s so slow.
No way we?ll win.
Don?t worry.
I?ll get it down before tomorrow.
But
who dates in a library?
So strange.
Oh yeah.
How would a person like you who?s never been in love understand?
The library?s the best place to have a date,
especially in a corner no one can see you.
There, two people can...
Kiss in the library?
That reminds me.
We haven?t decided yet
where we had our first kiss.
Is...
Is that important?
No kiss, no love.
You decide.
Alright. The library.
You have to memorize this before tomorrow, okay?
We won?t get that moped otherwise.
I got it.
Good night.
Bye-bye.
Ting Ting, why?re you crying?
She broke up with Ma Jun Cai.
He really went overboard this time.
That so?
He suspected I was cheating on him with Li Xiu Qi.
Is that true?
How could it be?
Then just explain it to him.
Wouldn?t that be fine?
Love really makes people perplexed.
People always call me chubby.
No one?s willing to date me.
In reality, I?m scared of getting hurt.
Stop with the sarcasm,
and encourage her to stop crying.
I?ve written down the same word 800 times.
Ting Ting, don?t cry.
Ma Jun Cai must be regretting it right now.
He will definitely
come running for your forgiveness tomorrow.
I?ve decided.
I will never again reunite with that sort of person.
I?m putting myself back on the market tomorrow.
Ma Jun Cai, that stupid guy.
Pisses me off, pisses me off!
If he comes to find me,
say I?m not here!
Alright, alright. Sleep.
Reconsider your decision tomorrow.
Just tell him I?m married!
Love is so messy.
After winning the moped,
Zhang Hao will take me to work.
That would be so awesome if it were the case.
Do you have anything to say to me?
Like what?
Did I not tell you we were eating with my parents tonight?
It?s fine if you don?t like it.
Just tell me.
I won?t force you.
I?ll tell you beforehand next time.
Shu Qing.
I think we need to have a heart-to-heart.
I?ve always considered our engagement
as us being together.
But it?s never felt this way.
Do you understand what I mean?
No matter the situation,
you?ve been the sole decision-maker for a long time now.
You haven?t communicated with me at all.
I know you have your own goals,
and you?re clear about what you yourself wants.
But you can?t always make decisions on your own.
You can tell me about anything.
You can communicate with me.
If you want to go to America, want to study at Berkeley,
you can tell me, I?ll help you.
You...
Are you going to tell my parents?
Not necessarily.
Our competition?s very fierce.
Right now on stage,
we only have 5 couples left.
Who can win the prize in the end?
Win this
Love?s Shang Hao Jie Moped
*Shang Hao Jie is the name of the brand.
and ride it home.
Let?s continue.
Next, a question round for the couples.
Couple number 6, please come on up.
We will be doing a
quick Q&A segment.
Listen closely.
Where did you two first meet?
The bridge near the pond.
What is your boyfriend?s shoe size?
42.5.
Where was your first kiss?
The school library.
When was it?
5:37 on 15 July 2012.
So precise.
Last question.
Where is your girlfriend?s favorite place to go on a date?
The school cafeteria.
Pass!
The audience members and I
are very curious
why your favorite place is the school cafeteria.
Because my girlfriend loves to eat.
I like doing what she likes.
Another round of applause for this lovely couple.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Okay
Why?re you daydreaming? Continue.
Okay!
Okay.
Okay!
Okay, we have a fierce competition.
Now there are only three couples remaining.
You guys are continuing love?s long battle.
Who can persevere to the end?
Let?s cheer them on, okay?
Go for it! Go for it!
Keep strong, Zhang You Tiao!
She fell, she fell.
This couple couldn?t make it.
Sorry to say, you?ve been eliminated.
Alright.
On the stage now,
only 2 couples remain.
Who will get the prize at the end?
Let?s look forward to it!
Hold onto me, Luo-shixiong. Hurry up.
We can do it. We can do it.
Can you make it?
Stay firm, would you?
Sorry, I'm so heavy.
Making you suffer.
No worries. We will win this.
Stay strong.
Don't worry, I will treat you to a meal for sure this time.
Okay. Okay.
Stay strong!
Yes!
Can you make it?
Hold on.
Keep at it! Keep at it!
She fell, she fell!
Congrats to couple number six!
Congratulations on winning!
This moped is yours!
How awesome!
Let?s give them a round of applause!
Wen Ting Ting!
You?re very happy
after breaking up with me, aren?t you?
Applying more make-up than usual.
Don?t scold me.
Aren?t you the same way?
Wearing sunglasses.
Playing at being cool.
Playing a being cool?
Am I doing that?
Is that what I?m doing?
I cried all night.
And I didn?t?
If I didn?t cake on the make-up,
how could I face people?
You really hurt me!
You?re the one who hurt me.
You clearly know I can?t break up with you.
Ting Ting.
Jun Cai.
Ting Ting.
Let?s not break up, okay?
I can?t part with you, either.
Ting Ting.
That... what I said that day doesn?t count.
Let?s start over together, okay?
I?ve been waiting to hear you say that.
I?ve been waiting forever.
Are they putting on a play?
No idea.
Wasn?t that canceled?
Ting Ting.
I?m sorry,
I shouldn?t have suspected you.
But when I saw you with Li Xiu Qi
in the study room, I couldn?t help but be jealous.
I was talking with him about Luo Man.
Luo Man?
What?s up with Luo Man?
I wanted to ask Li Xiu Qi
why she?s been acting so strange lately.
Isn?t she always very strange?
I made a wild guess.
It turned out to be nothing.
Ting Ting,
no matter what happens from now on
let?s tell each other, okay?
Pinky promise.
Winning a moped has made her this excited.
Serious illness.
It wasn?t easy to win it.
Of course I?d be happy.
From what Zhang Hao told me,
you guys pretended to be a couple to compete.
Didn?t you deceive everybody?
Even if you wanted to win,
isn?t doing that a little unruly?
No, no, no. We didn?t lie to everyone.
We?re a pair of friends.
A couple of friends.
That?s also considered a couple.
Did you teach her this?
Mm.
Yeah, made progress, huh?
Alright. I?m telling you two,
Fraud is when you have the intent to commit it,
when you fabricate the truth,
or when you deceive by concealing the true state of affairs?
It?s not fraud!
How about this?
When we?re not using it, you can borrow it.
By sharing the advantages, you?ll be considered an accomplice.
Okay.
I get it today, you get it tomorrow.
I?m going to be late to work. I?m off.
Bye!
What?s with you?
Didn?t we say we?d ride together?
Stupid Zhang You Tiao.
What did you do in the competition?
Nothing much.
Answered some questions,
team battles, stuff like that.
That so?
Why do you ask?
No reason.
I was just curious.
Let?s go.
Popular music in China during the 90s
demonstrated a growing and diversifying trend.
With the emergence of interest in pop music
came the era of idols.
Continuing on,
that means our mus?
Hello? Honey bee.
I?ll be right there.
Luo Man.
Was my lesson really that boring?
Not at all. You gave a good lecture, Dad.
Then how come I see you
staring out the window during class?
You must have an unfavorable view of me.
No, no.
I...
I?m...
Pondering.
Professor Luo.
Your lecture really is interesting.
Hearing the perspective of an experienced music person
makes it really easy to understand.
Mm.
This is how we gain applicable knowledge.
Right.
Its core ideas aren?t rough.
It?s all knowledge.
Right.
Dad, don?t be suspicious.
We really do enjoy your class.
Then...
We?ll leave.
Go on.
Go ahead.
We?re going, Professor.
Xiu Qi?s a good kid.
They?d make a good match.
What am I thinking? This...
Luo Man?s still young. Still young.
Today, I?ll teach you all a phrase
which is used quite frequently in China.
It?s similar to sending your regards.
?Have you eaten today??
Luo-shixiong?
What are you doing here?
Miss me?
As if.
Give me the keys.
I have the moped today.
Hold on.
Today?s my turn.
No way. Today my job is far away.
I have to use it.
My job is also far away.
Then... where is it?
Lian Sheng supermarket.
I?m also going to that area.
Really?
Let?s go together then.
With you?
Okay.
That?s what we?ll do.
Come on, come on.
Let?s go.
Luo-shixiong.
We?re almost where I need to be.
Where should I drop you off?
Just here?s fine.
Here?
Right.
How are you getting back?
I?ll be working for three hours.
I?m about the same.
Pick me up here.
Sure.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Okay!
Where are you making me go?
Dajie.
Dajie!
You drank when it?s still light out.
Do you have something bothering you?
When I was eating lunch,
I drank a little dry white (wine).
Stop wasting your breath.
Drive.
What?s with you?
Y-you... you had me come so I would drive you?
What did you think?
To treat you to a meal?
That?s not... you can call a substitute driver.
I?m a rock star.
I-I-I... driving you home...
How embarrassing is that?
¥500.
This isn?t about the money!
Drive safe.
This is an expensive car.
Put on your seat belt.
What?re you looking at?
What job did you do?
Don?t ask!
Let?s go.
Hop on!
Let?s go.
Go!
Your stomach
is making such a loud noise.
How embarrassing.
Hungry, huh?
Nope.
We?re all bros here, no need to be polite.
Let?s eat then head back, okay?
Okay.
How do you live so sloppily?
Boss! How much?
27 bucks!
I?ll get it, I?ll get it.
Don?t! I?ll get it.
You get it next time.
We have the moped thanks to you.
It?s really convenient.
Poster: The 17th Nan Yang University Music School Concert
A concert?
It?s for Shu Qing and her fellow majors.
That?s that... girl from Santorini?
Are you going?
No.
I have no interest in classical music.
Let?s head out.
I?m putting the skirt in.
I?m preparing the shoes I want to wear.
I?ll start with my right foot.
It fits.
Now I?ll try the left.
Today my feet fit well in my shoes.
Now, I?m grabbing my purse.
Ting Ting.
Are you recording your life in the dorm?
Hold on a second, honey,
Luo Man?s talking to me.
Right, I?m giving my honey a play-by-play.
Why are you doing that?
Because we promised each other
to share bits and pieces of our lives.
We can?t hide anything again.
Hello? Honey bee.
I?m ready to go out.
I?ve made it to my door.
I?m opening the door and going out.
I really can?t take it.
Dividing up their days
more than they go to the bathroom.
Hello? Xiu Qi
Are you in your dorm?
Who else is there?
It?s me and Min Qiang.
Jun Cai just left.
What?s up?
Nothing, it?s nothing.
I?m just hungry.
I wanted to ask whether you guys wanted a midnight snack.
I can bring it over no problem.
Don?t take the trouble.
If you?re hungry, I?ll buy you something.
No need, no need.
It?s faster on bike.
It?s dangerous to ride at night.
Alright, alright.
Don?t nag, okay?
I?ll hang up now, bye-bye.
Xiu Qi.
Luo Man?s bringing snacks?
Probably not.
Why do I smell cooked meat?
You must be smelling yourself.
So that?s it.
Want me to lend you my shower card?
Go take a shower.
No need.
Showering?d be a pity.
I can sniff when I want a snack.
He obviously came back with me.
Don?t tell me
he really went to that concert?
It?s okay, I already left.
Yeah, I?m on my way home.
It?s okay, your work?s urgent.
You must be busy.
See you tomorrow.
Where?d she go?
Hello.
I remember you.
You work at the pub, right?
Mm.
Zhang Hao brings you up a lot.
Does he?
You must understand me well, then.
Not really.
I just have a general impression.
Have you seen Zhang Hao today?
Did Zhang Hao come?
I don?t know either.
I?m asking just in case.
Don't worry.
Your boyfriend hasn't come looking for me.
My boyfriend?
No! That's not it.
It's not?
That?s not it.
I'm trying to say,
I didn?t come to the concert
to look for my boyfriend.
I trust him.
