Episode 17
Out, out, out.
Get out, get out.
Get out.
Boss.
I-I... I?ll come into work tomorrow.
Work?
Come to work where?
You got chased out by my customers after one song
and you still want to work?
It?s enough I don?t make you pay for it.
You.
You should go. Leave.
Go on, go on, go on.
But I...
Go on.
Okay.
Thanks.
Luo-shixiong!
I?ll introduce you.
This is my new girlfriend,
Yang Mei.
Hi, hello.
We?ve met before.
I need to thank you
for giving Zhang Hao and me a chance to get together.
It?s the 33rd time tonight she?s done that.
Tomorrow we?ll be holding a sales promotion
by providing unlimited drinks for two hours before opening time
at M?Pub, located by Nan Yang?s west gate.
All students are welcome to come.
Zhang You Tiao.
Aren?t you going on a date today?
Why haven?t you left?
I?ll leave soon.
Then...
Will you be okay
by yourself?
Of course I will.
Don?t worry and go.
Ding Ling-jie!
I?d like to ask for time off.
Can I make my shift up
tomorrow?
It?s not that busy on the weekends.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Oh my God.
What?s going on?
So many people before opening time.
I know right?
Why are so many people here?
Ding Ling-jie,
with this many people here,
I?m not sure I can handle it on my own.
No problem.
I?ll change my plans.
Work takes precedence.
Good boy.
I?ll open the door.
I know, I?m sorry.
It?s just too busy here today.
I can?t ask for it off.
Another day?
We?re at a critical juncture.
How can we change to another day?
Besides, everyone?s preparing for the show.
We can?t do it in a few days.
I can?t do anything about that.
I can?t leave.
Why can?t you do anything?
You just wait.
Hello?
Jun Cai?
Hello?
Are you having unlimited drinks today?
Yeah.
Fresh water is always unlimited.
The rest costs money.
What?
Isn?t this deceiving your customers?
Seriously.
Forget it, forget it.
We?re here anyway, let?s order.
Zhang You Tiao.
What about your date?
I just let Ma Jun Cai know.
I?ll get it.
It?s really fine.
I can get it myself.
Zhang Hao!
What are you doing here?
I?ll work for you. You go on that date.
What?d you say?
Ma Jun Cai told me what?s going on.
We?re prepared to help.
This some sort of joke?
How can you shrug off such an important date?
A bro such as myself
can?t look on with folded arms.
You think this is an easy job to do?
Luo-shixiong.
If a careless person like you can do it,
why can?t we?
Give it to me.
I?m counting on you.
Yeah, yeah, go on.
Fight on.
Fight on!
Keeping my eye on you.
Ma Jun Cai.
You?re ever so loyal.
I think so, too.
What can I do?
Hello.
I?ll be your waiter today.
What would you like to order?
Get to work.
I?m hard at work.
Go on, hurry up.
You, too.
Take care of other tables.
Hurry up.
My apologies, my apologies.
Coming through.
Here?s yours.
Welcome. How many?
One.
One person.
This way, please.
I?m coming, I?m coming.
Waitress!
Coming!
Waitress!
Don?t rush, I?m coming!
Here, drink, drink.
When can we order?
Why is service so slow?
Sorry, I?m coming
after this table.
?Let our rewards swell up
?A small boat pulling the waves
Wang Min Qiang,
what?s with you?
You tired?
I can go on.
Wonder how Zhang Hao?s date is going.
Though he?s not as handsome as me,
he?s not bad.
Should be all right.
Burning with envy.
Envy?
You date too, then.
I?m telling you, Wang Min Qiang,
you washing would
solve half the problem.
So tired.
Luo-shixiong.
We?re tired. You take care of the wiping.
How about this?
You continue, we?ll go ahead and leave.
We?re exhausted.
Let?s go.
Counting on you.
Hey, you two... but...
What?
Get to work!
Less talking, more working.
You?re so lazy.
Thanks.
Am I some toy?
Boss!
Give me two more bottles.
Zhang You Tiao,
you detestable jerk!
I forbid you from riding the bike again.
Hear me? That?s my bike!
My bike!
You can?t ride it again.
Zhang You Tiao,
you must be having fun on your date.
How can you do this to me?
I like you so much.
I tried so hard to
win that moped
all because I wanted to ride it with you.
And
I was being sincere
when I told Shu Qing I?m your girlfriend.
You idiot! You don?t understand anything!
How can you do this to me?
What?s your favorite food?
I really like spicy food.
Like hotpots and stuff.
How about you?
For me, spicy food
can?t be too spicy.
Why?
Because in the States
we don?t have a lot of spicy foods.
I?m not used to eating really spicy stuff.
I really like sweet food.
Like... cookies,
cake,
sweets.
She drank a lot last night.
Let her sleep.
But her snoring is interrupting my morning studies.
Those morning studies determine my?
Here, sit.
It?s just snoring.
I?ll solve it for you.
Study, study.
Don?t worry, leave it to me.
Wen Ting Ting!
How can I study with your music so loud?
Now you can?t hear the snoring.
It?s inaudible.
How can I study with that loud music?
What?d you say?
How can you be like this?
So sleepy...
Luo Man, what happened?
Why did you go out drinking by yourself last night?
Can?t I?
You?re stuck by Ma Jun Cai?s side everyday,
Zhang Hao?s dating some random girl.
Of course I?d drink by myself.
Why didn?t you call Xiu Qi?
If he knew I was drinking, he?d go on and on.
My head...
Honey,
what?s with Luo-shixiong?
She got sloshed alone last night.
Been saying her head?s hurting since this morning.
Why?d you drink alone, Luo-shixiong?
We had a good time at the pub last night.
How did Zhang Hao?s date turn out?
The girl is satisfied.
Soon as she saw Zhang Hao,
she wanted to eat together over the weekend.
But Zhang Hao refused.
Why? Is there something wrong with her?
What do you take me as?
Would I introduce any old person?
She?s a school beauty.
I don?t know what Zhang Hao?s thinking.
Maybe
his heart isn?t fully healed yet.
What do you mean?
It?s practice time, where are you?
Voice message...
Zhang You Tiao!
How can you do this to me?
I like you so much.
My stomach hurts, you two go ahead.
Luo Man, that?s the boys? dorm.
Luo-shixiong.
Your...
face is puffy.
Stop talking nonsense.
Luo Man,
your face really is swollen.
She?s bloated.
She got drunk last night.
Hey, could you stop?
Are we not practicing?
Our troublesome amp has gone on strike.
What are we going to do?
Let?s just talk it over with your dad.
Zhang Hao?s reaction
must mean he hasn?t heard my message yet.
I gotta steal his phone and erase it.
Why aren?t you practicing?
Our amp broke.
I already contacted my friend.
He agreed to lend you one.
Who has time this afternoon to go pick it up?
I don?t.
I have to study for the Level 4 test.
You then.
He can?t bring it himself, someone?s gotta go with.
I have time tomorrow.
Okay.
Professor Luo,
I really do have to study tomorrow.
I honestly don?t have time.
I?ll text the address to you two.
Luo Man,
you go tomorrow, too.
My friend wants to see you.
Okay.
You can just text Ma Jun Cai.
My phone?s broken, I have to fix it.
I sent it.
Uh...
that?s it for today.
Um... we?ll practice tomorrow when the amp gets here.
I?m off then.
Where?s my phone?
I just put it on the table.
It?s gone.
Right, I know.
¥800 a month?
Okay.
I?m available anytime.
Thanks.
Anything?s better than making money with music.
Once the cellphone appears,
I?ll immediately snatch it away.
I?ll run away and delete that voice message.
Will anyone think I?m stealing the phone?
Shouldn?t be that bad.
Stop worrying so much.
Destroying the evidence is what?s important.
This cellphone
hasn?t been fixed yet.
What!?
Still not fixed!?
Why hasn?t it been fixed yet!?
Call your boss!
Right now!
Luo-shixiong.
Why are you so upset?
I?m sorry.
I can get it later.
Later?
I can?t wait that long!
It?s fine.
I can pick it up myself.
Oh that?s right,
I forgot about my class.
I?ll get it for you.
Sorry.
Luo-shixiong, wait up.
I want to ask whether I can borrow a phone.
Okay?
Crap.
Won?t changing the phone
mean he?ll receive yesterday?s message?
You heard it?
I heard it.
That?s right! I admit I like you!
I?ve liked you for a long time, so what?
What?d you say?
You...
The message you just listened to
wasn?t from me?
Nope.
It was from Ma Jun Cai.
Just pretend I never said anything.
Zhang You Tiao,
you detestable jerk!
I forbid you from riding the bike again!
You must be having fun on your date.
How can you do this to me?
I like you so much...
What now? What now?
I?ll never drink again!
It?s too late to give up drinking now.
I?ve done what I shouldn?t have!
What?d you do?
What are you doing here in the middle of the day?
Aren?t you in love?
I?m getting beauty sleep.
I have a date with Jun Cai later.
What about you?
Didn?t you go to pick up Zhang Hao?s cellphone?
Don?t talk to me about cellphones!
Cellphones will be the death of me!
I?m not going to use a cellphone anymore.
Never going to drink again!
Abolishing so many hobbies at once.
What will you use instead?
You aren?t...
in love, are you?
When did Luo Man start liking me?
Doesn?t she find me annoying?
Santorini?s getting married.
Mm.
She?s getting married.
Don?t worry about me.
I was never going to linger about.
Her fiancé came to see me today.
Our feelings
have officially been dotted with a full stop.
Really?
You?ve let her go?
Right.
Why are you so glad?
What the heck?
Those are the bowl lotus seeds I painstakingly found for you.
Thank you, Luo-shixiong.
That girl named Luo Man just now,
isn?t she your girlfriend?
Zhang You Tiao,
are you really going to date another girl?
She was so obvious.
How come I never noticed?
Is this even worth it?
Doing this sort of stuff
at my age.
Even though it?s for my girl.
Isn?t it for two girls?
I?m almost there.
I?m here.
I?m in the vicinity.
Alright, alright.
W-what are you doing?
On the phone while driving?
I?m sorry, sorry.
Are you okay?
I?m okay, I?m okay.
Help me straighten out the car.
Okay, okay.
Let me tell you,
everyone has a wife and children.
If you aren?t careful,
what will your family do?
All of this stuff has scattered.
Are you all right?
I?ll pick it up for you.
Don?t rush.
Be more careful.
Ding Ling.
Are you here?
Come out.
I have something to say.
What?s with your clothes?
You want to fight
or are you looking for a fight?
What?s that?
It?s close enough.
You and my daughter are the only ones who treat me this way.
Silver.
Not platinum.
I swear.
This guy
changes everyday.
What exactly do you want?
I...
I just...
don?t want regrets.
What regrets?
When I wrecked my car just now,
I thought of
two people.
Luo Man and you.
I...
I?m afraid that if I don?t confess to you this time,
I?ll regret it for sure
later on.
So I?m just...
I still have a lot to do today.
You head on back.
No, you?!
This woman...
Just take it.
Still took it.
Are my fingers that thick?
Idiot.
Li Xiu Qi.
I need your help.
My heart feels like it?s suffocating.
I need to talk with you.
Let?s meet at the field.
Xiu Qi!
Hurry over.
Why are you sneaking around?
Why?d you hit me?
Is being loved by me such a painful thing?
You?re asking me?
I think this can be viewed from multiple angles?
Shut up.
I know.
Ting Ting told me about me liking you.
Even if it isn?t true,
are you really in that much pain?
I?m not.
Yeah, right.
Face like a dead fish since we got back from the mountains.
You think I?m blind?
It?s not because of that.
Okay, okay.
No need to explain.
It was all a misunderstanding.
We?re still
a pair of revolutionary pals.
I got it.
What?
Hey.
Are you avoiding Zhang Hao?
What happened exactly?
I can only
tell you about this.
I got drunk last night
and left Zhang Hao a voice message
saying I like him.
Now I don?t know how to face him.
Caring Brother,
I want you to comfort me.
That or give me some ideas.
Will you say something?
Do you really like him?
What else?
I do like him.
But I never wanted him to know.
Li Xiu Qi!
Could you not crash on me at this moment?
What?s going on?
I asked you in all seriousness.
Why aren?t you saying anything?
I really don?t know what I should do.
I don?t know what to do either.
Bro.
Let?s study all night.
What the heck?
What kind of friend...
Never enough appreciation.
Caring Brother!
Back so early today.
Mm.
Jun Cai said he went to the library to study with you.
Did you not see him?
I did.
Luo Man didn?t show up to work today.
Have you seen her?
Yeah.
How is she? Not sick is she?
Yeah.
What?
She?s really sick?
Sorry.
My mind was elsewhere.
Didn?t hear you clearly.
I asked you whether you?d seen Luo Man or not.
I haven?t.
Really?
I?m kind of worried.
How about you call her?
Speak of the devil.
Hello?
Luo-shixiong?
Okay...
What time?
Okay.
Well?
Were you surprised?
Yeah.
Even though I was confessed to a lot in the States,
this is the first time from a friend.
You took it seriously, you lose.
What do you mean?
I was joking.
I must have surprised you.
Your expression
is more serious than both Li Xiu Qi?s and Ma Jun Cai?s.
You aren?t really falling for me, are you?
Not at all.
Don?t tell me
you?ve also fooled Jun Cai and Xiu Qi?
Yeah.
It?s a very obvious trick.
They didn?t tell you in case you?d be embarrassed.
So don?t go asking them.
Even if you beat them up, they won?t say.
I had wanted to keep messing with you,
but I was afraid it?d be awkward for you.
You?re right.
It is a little bit (awkward).
Alright.
Now we can return to normal.
We finally
have a chance to talk without alcohol.
Yeah.
But
I still want
to drink beer.
You don?t...
I still haven?t asked you.
You were fine that day.
How did you get in a crash?
I was thinking of something
so I got in a crash.
Thinking of what?
Us?
Um...
The ring?s big.
Next time, I?ll buy one that fits.
No need.
This ring is great.
Even if it?s a bit big,
it really suits me.
I?ll definitely work hard to make money
and let you and Luo Man
live good lives.
Money doesn?t matter.
That doesn?t concern me.
I?ll ask you.
When do you...
plan on telling Luo Man about us?
I haven?t thought about that.
I keep thinking
about how I can break
this huge news to her.
How about
you find an opportune moment?
Eat together with
her and Zhang Hao.
Okay.
I hear you.
Mm.
A-actually, I...
have one worry.
It?s that you said
after we get together,
we?ll all be one family.
I?m scared you
won?t pay Luo Man.
Yeah...
Why didn?t I think of that?
So,
I told him I often play this prank on my friends.
Caring Brother.
As far as you understand him,
will he believe it?
Do you want him to?
Do you want him to believe you
and continue being your ordinary friend?
An ordinary friend
is better than being awkward around each other.
You don?t think this way will be awkward?
What is going on with you?
I ask your opinion and all you do is pick a fight.
Gently, gently.
I don?t think you should say you?re joking and stuff.
You?re covering up your real feelings.
What should I say then?
Should I blurt out,
?Zhang Hao, I like you??
It?s not like you haven?t already.
You?re here.
Mm.
Luo-shixiong!
You came early because you missed me, didn?t you?
Xiu Qi,
what are we practicing today?
Have you thought about it?
I?ll get it.
Where are you going, Xiu Qi?
I?ll... I?ll go check it out.
How am I supposed to get along with Luo Man?
Hello?
Ding Ling-jie.
Noon?
That's fine.
Eat at the restaurant?
Sounds good.
Okay.
Okay, I?ll be there.
Okay, bye.
Ding Ling-jie!
