Episode 24
Come on, come on. Again.
Start, start.
Awesome!
Tomorrow?s the last day to sign up.
I have student government so I can?t go.
You put our names down for us, alright?
No problem, I can manage on my own.
Take a look.
I?m off then.
Okay.
See you at the dorm.
Luo-shixiong!
Luo-shixiong.
Are you going to sign us up?
Yes.
Want me to come with?
No need.
I can get there on my own.
With your forgetfulness,
I?ll come with you for
such an important thing.
What?
Scared I?ll eat you?
What are you saying?
Let?s go.
Time?s running out.
Um...
Thank you.
You?re taking practice so seriously
so that my dad can stay at the school.
I?ve been a member for so long.
I can?t just watch the band disband.
I?m not doing this for Professor Luo.
It?s for everyone.
So that?s it.
Are you and Xiu Qi
really together?
Yeah.
What did you think?
What do you mean?
After finding out.
Me?
Of course I?m happy.
Oh no.
What?s wrong?
I left the information on the ferry.
How can I be so stupid?
How could I leave it on the ferry?
We still have some time.
Let?s think of a solution, okay?
Come on, let?s go.
This must be it.
It is.
Don?t be so careless next time.
I know, thank you.
Thanks.
C?mon.
Zhang Hao.
Xiu Qi.
I want to sign up.
Is it too late?
Sorry, we?re closing.
Forget it, it?s just one more.
Sign him up.
That?s great, thank you.
Zhang Hao.
Why are you here with the info?
Where?s Luo Man?
Zhang Hao!
Xiu Qi.
What are you doing here?
The student government had business around here,
so I was able to come and have a look.
You two
came together.
Uh... I left the info on the ferry.
If it weren?t for Zhang Hao,
I wouldn?t have made it in time.
Thanks, Zhang Hao.
No, no, no.
I?m working around here.
It was convenient to tag along with Luo-shixiong.
I?ll be leaving now, everyone.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
Abandon, abandon.
Abandon.
Ability, ability.
Ability.
You keep going and going.
Haven?t you memorized the A words?
I have just listening to you.
Bing Bing,
what are you up to?
Luo Man hasn?t told you?
I?m posting my diet journal online.
I already have 15 hits.
That is to say,
15 strangers on this planet are interested in me.
If you?re getting hits on your diet diary,
then I should post about my beauty transformation.
No way I wouldn?t become internet famous.
Luo Man,
what do you say?
Luo Man.
I?m not eating breakfast.
You guys go ahead.
I wasn?t talking about breakfast.
Why are you spacing out?
You must be missing Xiu Qi.
But that?s fine.
How can there exist such a perfect human on this Earth?
He can even sew.
?Appreciate.?
Appreciate.
Apologize.
I am.
What?
Are you for real!?
Luo Man,
are you telling the truth?
Yeah!
Luo-shixiong,
we really made it to the preliminaries?
It?s true.
We heard it loud and clear.
We really got a call from the professor organizing the festival.
Ting Ting, Ting Ting.
Pinch me.
I just can?t believe it.
Quick, pinch me, pinch me.
Tell me it?s true.
Believe it now?
Why?d you hit me so hard?
You about disabled me.
The campus festival is really famous.
The ones who win are really good.
Before I thought that it?d be fine if we could only get in.
I never thought we?d progress.
This is so awesome.
If my dad knew,
he?d be super overjoyed.
Why don?t you give him a call?
Calling now?
No, no way.
We need to wait until we?ve practiced enough first.
Okay.
Xiu Qi, this is all thanks to you
for giving us the idea to enter the festival.
You?re our band?s savior.
Right!
Wang Min Qiang,
why are you acting so composed?
Doesn?t the band qualifying excite you at all?
Wang Min Qiang,
why are you crying?
You?re taking this way too far.
I achieved such great success.
This will definitely make my dad happy.
I need to call him.
The people in Wang Min Qiang?s village
will definitely be celebrating tonight.
Sorry, I messed up again.
I can never get this part right.
It?s fine, everyone?s tired anyway.
Let?s take a break.
No, is... is this filming?
What is this?
Y-you can?t see our faces.
Hello, Zhang Hao.
May I ask, in this competition
can we get the Best-looking Newbies award?
Of course we can.
Where does your confidence come from?
Here!
What?
What? What?
More pathetic than me.
One more time, come on.
Here.
Come, come here.
Ma Jun Cai, stop messing around.
Give it to me.
Stop.
It?ll break!
No filming.
Xiu Qi,
will you be able to get down the final guitar solo?
It would be difficult for seasoned players.
That Xiu Qi can play like this is already not bad.
What will we do, Xiu Qi?
Are you confident you can get it down?
At my level, getting it down
would be rather difficult.
If we can find another
more experienced guitar player, that?d be best.
For this band, that won?t be easy.
Where will we find an experienced guitarist
who can make up our gap?
There?s no way, that?s way too unrealistic.
Then...
All we can do is change the song.
That?s better than being embarrassed.
I know who to look for.
Who?
Forget it.
Have you eaten?
Want to come down and have some porridge?
I?m not hungry.
You aren?t?
Tang Bo Wen leaves for Korea tomorrow.
His flight?s at 10:00 AM.
You don?t need to keep bringing this up.
What exactly happened between you two?
I honestly don?t understand.
What can make such an even-tempered person
cancel an engagement?
An engagement other?s were looking forward to.
Did you?
Stop bringing him up.
I don?t want to hear it.
Forget it.
Nothing we say will change your mind.
Come in.
This is what you had me prepare.
The information about the Korean branch.
Okay.
Thank you.
I?ll wait for you at the airport tomorrow at 8 AM.
Okay.
Um...
What is it?
A few days ago, Miss Shu Qing came by the company.
She did?
I heard she waited a long time to see you.
It seemed like she had something to talk about.
I understand.
You go ahead back to work.
Ma Jun Cai,
what?re you doing?
That book Ting Ting gave me,
the collection by the famous author,
I forgot where I put it.
I?m a Pisces.
Once it goes missing, I can?t stop thinking about it.
Was it the book where you changed all the model?s faces to your own?
Right, right.
That book.
What?s this?
Well hidden.
Zhang Hao and Shu Qing broke up so long ago.
Why does he still have girls? clothing?
Might he have bought it for his mom or his little sister?
Probably.
Not at all possible.
Look at this outfit.
It?s too delicate for his mom to wear,
and his little sister?s in elementary school.
That wouldn?t be it.
Why would an old man like him hide woman?s clothing?
Enough, Jun Cai.
Have you forgotten about the photo?
Hurry up and put it back.
I?m just being a concerned friend.
Don?t go on about Zhang Hao.
What is it that you?re holding?
These are Ting Ting?s clothes.
I have to wash them for her.
Oh right, Caring Brother,
help me refold that dress.
You?re capable.
Trustworthy.
Luo Man.
Happy birthday.
I spent all my savings on this dress.
It represents my sentiments for you. (Zhang Hao)
Zhang Hao,
what did you buy Luo Man?
It was such short notice,
I couldn?t prepare a gift in time.
What?
It?s Luo-shixiong?s birthday.
You actually didn?t bring a gift?
American friend.
I can?t help you here.
Here in China, we believe in reciprocity.
How can you eat the cake in good taste later on?
I?ll just drink the water.
Together, together!
Happy birthday!
Thanks.
I?ve made a reservation at a restaurant.
You tell Luo Man.
We?ll eat together.
I?m getting paid today.
Alrighty.
Manager.
My pay must be wrong.
I deducted the damages
from the car wreck from your paycheck this month.
That?s a total of 89 dollars and 2 cents,
but since I?m a nice guy,
I rounded it up into one bill.
Otherwise,
you wouldn?t be seeing Grandpa Mao?s face there.
*The person on the 100 Yuan he?s holding is Mao Ze Dong (aka Mao Tse-tung)
Take what you can get.
Look.
Right?
Luo Man.
Come over here.
Coming.
Ding Ling-jie.
Your dad said he?s going to treat us to a meal.
What?
At VIPS.
*A real restaurant in China under the franchise of CJ Foodville
My dad?s going to pay?
He?s even taking us to VIPS.
He said he?s made a reservation.
Can you make it?
I?ll do all my work really fast today.
Back to work.
You?re not going to?
I am.
You?ll get a pay reduction.
Okay, okay.
Who?s this nice?
I know I?m lying to myself.
I thought as long as we can be friends,
there would be a thread of hope.
But how come it never occurred to me?
He came to China
all for that girl.
What right do I have to compete?
It?s fine, I?m not tired.
I can go to work.
No way.
I have work around here.
It was convenient to tag along with Luo-shixiong.
I?m leaving then, everybody.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
On this Earth,
other than my dad,
you treat me the best.
So, what I?m saying is,
to me, you?re
a very, very important person.
When Luo Man liked Zhang Hao,
it was hard on me.
But when she accepted me,
she was being completely serious.
Perhaps right now
there might be a bit of indecisiveness.
But Luo Man?s my girlfriend.
I just need to treat her well.
That?s enough.
Don?t think too much.
Stop thinking about it.
Why is he not here?
He?ll be here soon.
He must be on the way.
Let?s keep waiting.
Why isn?t he here yet?
Hello? Dad.
Luo Man,
there?s a meeting at the school.
I might not be able to make it.
Let?s try another day.
That?s that.
I?m hanging up now.
My dad said something came up, he can?t make it.
Let?s just us eat.
Dig in!
Don?t wait for him.
It might be because
the issue with the loan recently.
He?s out of money.
How do you know
he has a loan?
I saw the notice from the bank.
But my dad never told me.
That?s how he is,
takes care of everything himself.
He doesn?t have it easy.
Silly.
You don?t have it easy.
Ding Ling-jie,
please don?t bring it up to my dad
what I told you today.
This is our secret.
Depends on your behavior.
Ding Ling-jie.
Alright.
It?s a secret.
Really?
Pinky swear.
Childish.
Make the seal.
Can we eat now?
Yeah!
Dig in!
Do you think you guys can make it?
Been taking selfies all afternoon.
Is this really all love consists of?
You?re jealous.
Take some yourself then.
Luo Man.
I want to see a movie with you tonight.
Are you free?
Luo-shixiong,
this is your first date with Caring Brother.
Make some memories.
You have gone public now after all.
Remember to make yourself look pretty tonight.
It?s just a movie.
Why is everyone making remarks?
What?s wrong? You don?t want to go?
What are you thinking, Luo Man?
Give your answer.
Sure.
You scared me.
For you, Dad.
Yesterday, I...
I understand.
Dad?s real busy.
You aren?t mad, are you?
Of course I am.
But I when I think about you treating me to steak,
I?m happy.
Um...
Ding Ling didn?t blame me, did she?
Nope.
This is for you, Dad.
What are you playing at?
I?m showing my gratitude.
Why would you do that for me?
Have you ever seen a daughter give her father money?
I don?t want it.
I?m giving it to you.
Just accept it will you.
No way.
You worked hard to make that money.
Hurry, take it back.
It?s the same as you raising me.
I?m leaving.
Bye-bye.
Dad, keep at it!
I love you.
Tang Bo Wen is leaving for Korea tomorrow.
His flight?s at 10 AM.
You haven?t left?
GM Tang.
I?ve prepared everything in Korea.
You go help them coordinate.
T-then you?ll...
I have something important to take care of here.
I?m counting on you.
Why did you come to the company?
Is this why you dropped by?
Not completely.
After you find out,
will you still leave?
I don?t know.
You tell me.
I?ll see if I have enough reason to stay.
Because
I didn?t want us to end like this.
I can?t lie to myself.
Slowly but surely,
you became someone
who is a big part of my life.
I realized after you went to Korea that
my heart
couldn?t help but feel unsettled.
Now that you know,
are you still going to leave?
I?ve held onto something I wanted to give you.
I never had the chance to hand it over before.
Giving it to you should dispel all my regrets.
Thank you.
It?s very pretty.
Now that you?ve given it,
you can leave without regrets.
Nothing can make me feel more regret
than leaving you.
Thought it through.
That?s good that you have.
But
speaking in advance,
participating in the show
doesn?t necessarily mean you can sing.
The important part are the games.
I... I?ve already made up my mind.
I?ll listen to you.
I?ll do whatever you tell me to.
Really?
You?re one smart cookie.
Some past era singers don?t get it.
One day as an artist
makes them artists for life.
What are artists?
They?re entertainers for the masses.
How much money can pride make you?
As you?re saying,
not all people are alike
and not everyone chases the same things.
But no matter what you?re chasing after,
you have to keep living.
Well said.
Do a good job.
In a bit, our staff
will contact you to finalize the plans and time.
Okay.
I?ll be off now then.
How was it?
Was it a good movie?
Thirsty.
What?
I ate all the popcorn.
Made me super thirsty.
I?ll buy some water.
Just a second.
?Kay.
Luo-shixiong.
This is for you.
Really!?
So ugly.
That?s exactly why I gave you it.
You can?t give it back.
Alright.
What?s wrong?
It?s nothing.
Let?s go.
Here...
Yes.
Xiu Qi isn?t back yet.
What?
Luo Man isn?t back either?
What a successful date they?ve had.
Honey,
I?m kinda sleepy.
How about
we
talk again tomorrow, okay?
Not loud enough.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
Do you know? Do you know?
Xiu Qi and Luo Man still haven?t returned from their date.
We know.
You said it so many times over the phone.
Where you think those two
could be?
Wang Min Qiang!
Tell me where those two could be.
It won?t be the library.
Actually,
the library?s possible, too.
No...
Where are you going so late at night?
What mood is he in?
Xiu Qi.
I?m sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Today was a lot of fun.
Wasn?t it for you?
That?s not it.
I?m saying,
I?m sorry
for being late.
It?s not like we just met each other.
It?d be weird if you weren?t late.
Xiu Qi,
I have something to tell you.
I?
Don't say anymore.
But I have to say it?
