Episode 4
Good. This is good.
Everyone continue with the music.
You have to do every movement right.
Very good.
Hi.
Hello.
A computer!
You don't need to mind me. Just be romantic.
Long Long,
this isn't yours. You can't touch other people's stuff.
I'm just playing with it.
I won't break it.
This is to repay your nephew.
As his uncle, you can play with it however you'd like.
This is for me?
It is.
Isn't this too good?
Of course I have to repay you with a good one, or else I'm afraid you won't leave me alone.
How could I do that?
Is this very expensive?
You don't need to worry about that.
Then... thank you.
How do you plan to thank me?
That's right.
How do I thank you?
Are you silly? This is a gaming module.
Nephew, play with me.
I... I don't know how.
I know this one.
I'll play with you.
Here. Watch me.
Watch me.
Revolving attack!
How's that?
Actually, this Ou Le Le is quite cute.
Like this.
But... Don't think too far.
It's impossible for us.
She's so pretty, and her family is so rich.
I... Compose yourself.
Compose yourself.
Look, look! Attack it! Attack!
Enough, Long Long.
I have to go to the interview. Let's not play any more today.
Be good. Let's go.
I don't want to go. You always make me wait outside.
How about this? Let Long Long stay here with me.
Go to your interview.
This... Isn't this inappropriate?
It's not inappropriate. Go.
Bye bye.
Then fine. Long Long, you have to listen to Auntie.
- I got it.- Don't run around.
- Auntie Le Le,- I'm leaving.
I want to go on the internet.
Can you connect to the internet here?
Of course you can. What do you want to do?
I want to watch The Happy Sheep and the Big Gray Wolf.
You watch The Happy Sheep too?
I watch it too.
I'm already on episode 280.
I'm already on 283.
This is the contract. Sign after you look through it.
It won't be a contract to sell my body, would it?
Do you think I look like the type?
It's fine. I'll sign.
Good. Right.
Li Hao,
what you wrote about how you can see through your significant other
is really good.
Several of our editors
all praise you about the good writing.
I think if you start your own business, you have an unlimited future.
I think the most crucial part right now is the office.
The rent can't be too expensive either.
Office?
I remember now.
Across the street from us, there's a small store.
They just hung up a lease poster a couple of days ago.
- Across the street?- Yes.
This location is pretty good.
I'll go check it out with you.
Take the place.
If the two of us are closer, wouldn't that be convenient?
Sure.
Then let's go.
[Fu Yi Ping]
[Call]
[Zhong Heng Investments]
Hello?
- It's me.- I know.
Um... We have to work overtime tonight for GM Xiao's case.
You've worked hard.
It's not hard.
Then do you want me to visit you?
At my office?
Yeah.
Forget it. There are lots of people. It's not convenient.
Is that so. I got it.
Then take care of your health.
Thanks. I will.
Hello?
Are you still there?
Talk to me.
How about we talk when we meet, okay?
Bye bye.
Every time you interview, it's the most crucial step in your life.
Remember. Keep smiling.
Don't always look like you're a hero on a mission.
Lü Cheng? Which of you is Lü Cheng?
- I am.- Come in for your interview.
Okay. This way please.
Tell us about your situation.
I have a Master's degree in Physical Exercise
from Tong Cheng's Medical University.
The focus of Physical Exercise Medicine studies in research
is the establishment of exercise medicine
and preparation for fitness equipment technology.
Graduate studies in physical exercise medicine have developed three main directions of research.
I am completely capable of professional expertise in this regard.
From academic research in physical exercise,
specialized fitness personnel, physical exercise coach,
and physical therapy instruction...
Do you know how much the starting salary
for physical therapists is?
I don't know.
¥800.
Young man, the next time you interview,
you have to read the job description more carefully first.
It's harder for a graduate with a master's degree to find a job
than it is for a farmer.
I thought this society needs special expertise like mine.
Was I really wrong?
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
How is it? Does its size suit you?
It's very nice.
Add a couple pieces of office furniture,
I can open shop.
No matter what,
I've made the most crucial first step in my life.
There is no going back.
Half a year. I must succeed.
Le Le.
He's asleep?
He fell asleep.
I'm sorry I troubled you today.
It's nothing. How was your interview today?
It didn't work. Maybe my expertise wasn't compatible with theirs.
I wasn't happy with their offer either.
It's fine. Look some more.
I won't believe it.
A highly educated man like you can't find a good job?
You haven't experienced this before.
There are tons of master's and PhD graduates. They're not valuable anymore.
Don't think so much.
Have you eaten?
I'm not hungry.
You still say you're not hungry?
Let's go. Let's eat out.
That's not necessary. There are leftover dishes at home.
I can just heat them up.
That won't do. Long Long's asleep anyway.
Let's go. Let's go out to eat.
Let's go. Come on.
I'm finally almost done. I thought I'd have to pull an all-nighter.
That's won't do. I won't allow it.
It's so late. Why are you here?
Pause for a moment and have some midnight snacks first.
Xiao Zhao, Xiao Han, have some midnight snacks.
Let's go.
This much?
Chicken wings.
There's this one.
There's also purple rice porridge.
Steamed dumplings and little steamed buns.
You're too generous.
When we were rushing to finish work for our clients before, no one bought us midnight snacks.
You're too generous. Thank you.
I'm sorry we let you spend money. But I really am a little hungry.
If you really are hungry, then eat while it's warm.
These are Nan Xiang's little steamed buns.
Where did you buy them?
I happen to have a friend who came here from Shanghai,
so I asked them to bring some along.
Look how we're treated. It's too luxurious.
That's right. We're troubling him too much.
I thought you probably won't have an opportunity to go out and eat,
so I brought some over.
Hurry up and eat.
You didn't purposely ask your chauffeur to drive to Shanghai and buy them, did you?
Then aren't little workers like us getting the benefits?
Don't say nonsense. Hurry up and eat.
Alright, let's not eat anymore.
- Let's go.- But I haven't finished eating.
Let's go work.
Can you be any more obtuse?
Let's go.
Then...
Hurry up and let's go.
Then I'm suddenly full too.
- Let's go.- Hurry up.
You eat some too.
It's okay. I'm not hungry.
This purple rice porridge is really good. It's good for the stomach.
Don't look at me. At least eat a little.
Okay. I'll eat some too.
You're so attentive, there must be lots of girls interested in you.
There aren't.
But I have been in quite a few relationships before.
Then why would you go to the matchmaking?
I haven't met someone I can marry yet.
It's because you don't want to marry, isn't it?
How is that possible?
My mom and dad are often out of the country. So is my little sister.
I'm by myself in this country and don't have a stable life either.
My business has only gotten better these past couple of years. Only then did I have some time to worry about my own affairs.
But my age
is somewhat neither old nor young enough to be of any use.
How come?
I'm already 36 this year.
What do guys have to worry about?
You can find those born in the 80s. If not them, the 90s will do too.
I don't like ones that are too young.
I can't communicate with them.
I want to enjoy being in a relationship first and then get married.
How could he think the same way I do?
There are lots of those types too.
But I haven't met one yet.
You will meet her.
Things like these can only be left to fate. If you're anxious, you can't get the warm goods.
How much longer do you have to work?
I'm almost done. At most, it'll take half an hour.
Okay, then eat quickly.
When you're done working, I'll take you home. I have nothing to do anyway.
If all clients were like you, we could go straight to heaven.
Waiter.
Coming. What would you like?
Three-cup chicken, fried clams, baby bamboo shoots with sesame sauce, and fried rice. Quick.
Alright.
This place is really nice. Do you used to come here often?
I did.
When I was little, my dad often brought me here.
Right. Why have I never seen your dad?
My dad passed away a long time ago.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. That was a long time ago.
I remember that when I was little, my dad often brought me here secretly.
My mom didn't allow me to come here. She said it wasn't clean here.
But I still feel that the food here tastes the best.
Look. I'm drooling just hearing you talk about it.
Ah. I'll go check if the food is ready.
Hold on.
Boss, are the dishes we ordered not ready yet?
- It'll be done immediately.- Quickly.
I don't know why,
Lü Cheng always reminds me of my dad.
Back then, Dad was just like him.
They both were poor people trying to get a break in Tong Cheng.
Whenever he brought me here, he'd say
this was Dad's happiest place back then.
Thirsty and tired after a day of work,
if he could come here on the weekends with Mom and eat three-cup chicken,
have a bottle of chilled beer,
he felt he turned into a god.
Now, does Lü Cheng feel that way too?
I think that compared to them,
lots of things seem to be missing from my life,
because I might never be able to experience that kind of happiness my entire life.
Where's the chauffeur?
The chauffeur drove long distance today and was a little tired, so I let him go home first.
It's cold outside. Get in the car first.
Okay.
You must be really tired.
Go to sleep first. I'll wake you when we get there.
Okay.
♫ Deep into the night, my heart’s at peace watching you,sweet, hard working, the only one. ♫
Sleep easy. I'll wake you when we get there.
♫ I’m childish. I run away. ♫
Okay♫ I’m childish. I run away. ♫
♫ I believe that it’s your shadow that will never change. ♫
♫ I regret that I almost gave up once. ♫
♫ It can only be you. ♫
♫ Thank you for letting me fall in love with you. ♫
♫ No matter how hard life is, you never leave me. ♫
♫ Thank you for letting me hold onto your hand. ♫
♫ The familiarity is too beautiful, a lifelong promise. ♫
♫ Thank you for letting me fall in love with you. ♫
♫ No matter how hard life is, you never leave me. ♫
♫ Thank you for letting me hold onto your hand. ♫
♫ The familiarity is too beautiful, a lifelong promise. ♫
♫ Keep going. ♫
- Just go.- I'm not going.
I beg of you.
You're the king of bargaining. If you don't go, I'll get cheated to death.
It's not that I won't go with you.
What about Long Long? I already troubled Ou Le Le all day yesterday.
How about you put all the cost on me?
How am I supposed to be calculated?
That's right? How do we calculate that little ancestor?
It's Little Uncle.
He...
Can't you just lock him up at home?
You dare to? Locking me up alone in the house is against the law.
I'm going to call 110 and report to the police that you're abusing children.
Can you stop causing trouble for us?
Aren't you Little Uncle?
It's not against the law to lock up little uncles.
I don't care, I don't care!
Alright, stop fussing.
If you keep fussing, I'll tell Second Uncle.
I can stop arguing, but I'm going with you guys.
I think that's the only way.
Great!
Seems like it'll be another battle.
I'm going out to play!
Let's go.
Hey, behave yourself.
Don't fuss around.
Let's go.
Don't run around.
Listen.
Who is this here?
Hello. I'm his little uncle.
Let me introduce you.
This is my college classmate.
Graduated with a master's degree in physical exercise. Lü Cheng.
- This is Director Lin.- Director Lin?
I've always heard Li Hao mention you.
Hello.
My nephew has a master's degree, so I'll have a PhD in the future.
This child. Really?
If you keep being disruptive, I'll turn you into an assassin.
If we bring him along to buy stuff,
it'll be a wasted effort.
How about this? Leave him to me.
I'll take him to play around in the office.
That would be too troublesome.
It's nothing.
Okay.
I remember now, little guy.
Last time, were you the one that got lost?
You got my entire team to look for you.
Was that you?
Don't run away anymore, okay?
Where did they go?
Don't look. As long as you give me a computer today,
I'll be good.
Little punk. Let's go.
Let's go.
Hurry up and get down.
Don't touch! Please don't touch! That's my precious!
Don't touch! Oh, little ancestor.
I'm back.
- I'm exhausted.- What's the matter?
This Li Hao brought Long Long to our office again.
In the end, he flooded the whole place.
A whole bottle of water was dumped onto the copier.
The document I just finished got soaked.
I'm about to explode.
How did Long Long get to your place?
Don't mention it. He opened his psychological clinic across from us.
He went to buy furniture and took our place for a day care center.
Old man, come over here.
Hurry and come here!
What's up?
It seems that Li Hao really is serious about being with our daughter.
He even wants to work near our daughter.
Look at you. What will that prove?
I say you shouldn't presume too much.
Let me tell you. You really don't know how they see these things.
- How I see it...- What are you muttering about?
Oh, nothing. I was just telling your dad.
That child really is too restless. It's hard to watch over him.
That's right. They think our office is their home.
They're too easygoing.
How about this?
Tell Li Hao to bring the child here. I'll watch over the child.
There's food and drink, television, and computer. It'll be easy.
I think it would work.
Work what? Don't suggest that.
I'm telling you. I'm really busy these days. I work overtime every day.
I have to go back to the office after I eat.
I beg of you. Don't cause me more trouble, okay?
Whatever.
- Cause trouble!- It'll be fun.
Ai Mei, your health isn't great. Why don't you hire a caretaker?
Don't do the cleaning and washing by yourself from now on.
It's nothing. We'll talk about it later.
Look at you.
Right. How are Le Le and Lü Cheng?
Nothing much. Who knows?
You know Li Hao?
He resigned.
His family gave him money to let him open a psychology clinic.
Don't you think this child is quite interesting?
He opened his psychology clinic across from Liang Shuang's magazine publishing office.
I think these two children are progressing quite nicely.
Great.
How are your Le Le and Lü Cheng progressing?
You have to urge them on to progress soon.
I think Lü Cheng is quite nice.
How do I urge them?
Let me tell you. Devise plans and use tricks.
You have to get Le Le to bring him home.
Use tricks?
Mom, I'm home.
Then just come home.
Mom, what's with that attitude?
What attitude do you want me to have?
What was your attitude on the phone today?
Mom, you're still holding that grudge?
I've already forgotten about this.
What's wrong with me asking you to bring Lü Cheng home to visit?
Are you that annoyed?
That's not it, Mom. See, there's no occasion.
What's there to visit about when he comes home?
You still won't learn?
Were even one of your other boyfriends suitable?
Wasn't that all because I didn't know more about them?
This Lü Cheng is different.
Why can't that brain of yours see the difference? I don't understand you.
Le Le, this time Mom will test them for you.
I know what type of people best suit you.
Mom, you make it sound too serious.
Actually, Lü Cheng and I really don't...
My chest hurts.
Mom, what's wrong?
My chest. Up...
- It's going up!- It's going up?
My blood pressure is going up.
Hold on. I'll bring your medication.
Le Le!
Listen to Mom.
Tell Lü Cheng to come visit at our house.
I got it, Mom.
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
I never thought that the girlfriend I fell in love with is a workaholic.
You're the one that's making me work so hard.
This really is my fault.
I never thought that this job would be so difficult either.
If I knew, I wouldn't let you take Old Xiao's case.
To be honest, every time I'm busy to the point of exhaustion,
I want to throw away all my work and get a good break and go wherever I want to.
That's right.
Go where you want to.
If I were you, I'd want to put aside work, put everything aside temporarily.
If there was a surprise, it'd be even better.
Isn't that right?
Unfortunately, you're not me, so I have to keep working.
You...
I'm not done yet.
Why did you bring me here?
♫ Every time, the moment we hold hands, a question mark will always appear. ♫
♫ I don’t know if I should use the left or right side of my heart to hold onto your love. ♫
♫ On my left is a sunny smile. ♫
♫ On my right is a sea of sorrow. ♫
♫ No matter which side you embrace, I can’t avoid lying to you. ♫
♫ How do I meet you face to face? ♫
♫ Left or right? In the end I it’s hard to give both wholly. ♫
I love you♫ Even if nostalgia is tied to both sides, ♫
I love you♫ I still can’t draw love into a circle. ♫
♫ I can’t meet you face to face. ♫
♫ Why has love been ripped in two by this space? ♫
I love you.♫ Why has love been ripped in two by this space? ♫
♫ Why has love been ripped in two by this space? ♫
♫ The sediment a sigh leaves behind ♫
♫ leads the way to the long night.Gradually, only lingering remains in helplessness. ♫
♫ I give myself to tomorrow. ♫
♫ I won’t let my heart waver between left and right anymore, for you will never need lies. ♫
♫ Tomorrow, I will return its entirety with both hands before I hold your hand again. ♫
♫Tomorrow, I will return its entirety with both hands before I hold your hand again. ♫
This one, look at me.
Come here.
Lü Cheng!
- What's the matter? You asked me to meet, then you were late.- I'm sorry.
I suddenly had something and came late.
Tell me. What did you call me for?
It's like this.
My mom wants to see...
my boyfriend.
Then, what does that have to do with me?
I don't have one, right?
So I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and come see my mom.
Me?
No, no. I can't.
I can't go.
I definitely can't go.
Why? Can't I ask you to help?
This is a matter or principle. It's either real of fake. I can't.
What real or fake?
If my mom didn't specify to see you, I wouldn't be willing to either.
I'm doing this only to put her at ease.
All the more reason why we can't. You're mom's so nice and kind.
I can't lie to her even more.
If you don't have anything else, I'm leaving first.
I have to watch over Long Long.
Lü Cheng!
What are you looking at?
He coos and you swim? No loyalty.
I raised you for nothing!
What are you looking at? Go do your work.
Hello?
What are you doing?
I'm at the spa.
Has Lü Cheng come yet?
I'm working. Why would he come?
I had a nightmare yesterday. I dreamt that you got married.
But wouldn't that be exactly what you wanted?
It's not.
When you got off the carriage, it was an old lady. Older than I am.
You married to a nasty old man.
Mom got worried and was drenched in cold sweat.
Then how are you right now?
I'm fine.
How is it now?
I think Lü Cheng really is pretty good.
Mom.
Don't "Mom" all the time. Mom will get old.
Find someone to lean on quickly, and I'll be at peace.
Didn't I already promise you I'll bring him to visit you?
It's just that I really am too busy these days.
My chest hurts!
Then how about I go home and keep you company?
There's no need!
Take care of your own matters!
Why does my mom always have to interfere with my life?
Who told you to tell your mom that you had a boyfriend?
Now, the old lady only wants you to marry and have children quickly,
be a nice couple and be filial towards the elders.
Do you so want to die right now?
Li Li, I'm in a terrible mood right now.
If you dare to keep mocking, you'll die immediately.
Li Li!
These two would like to know more about the class.
Both of you, please have a seat.
Okay.
We'd like to know some more information first.
We'd like to see what classes you have here.
We focus mainly on yoga. We also have some dance classes.
Yoga?
- I wanted to lose weight.- Then you can learn.
Look at me, a man. It wouldn't be fitting for me to learn yoga, would it?
You're so annoying! You said you'll come with me.
- I want you to learn!- Fine, I'll obey my great wife.
Thanks.
Isn't yoga great? It exercises all muscles.
- Okay.- You're absolutely right.
Actually, men are also very suitable to learn yoga.
Not to mention improving your health and physique, if a couple learns together,
it can improve the relationship between both of them through physical contact.
Fine then. I'll learn so we can improve our relationship.
Annoying!
Li Li, watch the spa.
I'll go run some errands.
Okay.
Membership is ¥3000 per person, ¥5000 for a couple.
Li Hao, you cooked?
It's not that idiot.
It's my niece-in-law that's making good things for me to eat.
You're back?
Why is it you here?
Why can't it be me?
- Can't I come?- No, that's not what I meant.
Then where's Li Hao?
He had things to do and went out.
Long Long.
Nephew, just help her.
Don't cling on me.
This are new clothes. I have to wear this for interviews.
Just help her. How rare is she?
She's pretty and is respectful to me for you.
Just go see her mom.
My little uncle, my little ancestor.
As long as someone gives you something good to eat, are you going to betray me?
If she tells me to jump into a fiery pit, will you tell me to jump?
If a beauty tells you to jump, then that's your fortune too.
Why are you like Li Hao more and more now?
Moreover, is she really telling you to jump into a fiery pit?
That's right. Isn't it just to see my mom?
Is my mom a fiery pit?
That's right. How can you say something like that?
What do you know?
No matter what, I've already eaten the food.
Take care of it yourself.
You let the wolf into the house?
I'm helping you.
Helping my butt!
You unfilial one. How are you supposed to speak to your elders?
- Stop pretending to be my elder.- I am your elder.
You dare say no?
I'm so unfortunate.
You're already so old, and you still have a beauty asking you.
You still aren't satisfied?
Ou Le Le, you're impressive.
Aren't you guys in a relationship?
Hurry up and eat. I'm starving.
Here, I made this.
- Try it.- I'll get it myself.
How is it?
Forget it. I definitely won't need to have salt tomorrow.
Come in.
Come in!
Come on. Come in.
I'm telling you.
Now it's time for you to sacrifice.
If you dare let things slip, I'll...
You've already blocked my escape.
I'm already jumping into the river blind, and you're still threatening me?
Mom. Mom? I'm home.
Coming.
Here, here.
Mom.
Lü Cheng, you're here?
Hello, Auntie.
Come, sit. Hurry.
Auntie, this is for you.
You're too polite, bringing so many gifts.
You're too kind.
Hurry and sit down.
Lü Cheng, sit down first. I'll pour a cup of water for you.
I can go by myself.
You don't know the way. Next time you come, you can pour it yourself.
Come. Come and sit down.
Hurry up and go.
Come here. Quick, sit.
Okay.
Sit.
You finally came.
I'm talking about Le Le.
I told her to bring you to visit and nagged her so many times about it.
You finally came today.
That's right. I heard Le Le mention it.
I was busy looking for jobs these days, so I delayed it.
Looking for a job?
So you don't have a job?
Mom, it's like this.
He wants to find a job that's more suitable for him.
Isn't that right?
Yes, yes.
Auntie, I study human ergonomic engineering,
so I've always wanted to find a job that's more compatible with my expertise.
Human ergonomic engineering?
What is that about? I haven't heard of it before.
Right. Auntie, sit back.
Sit more comfortably.
Lean back.
Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll relax it for you.
These shoulders have hurt for a long time. The back of my neck too.
- Is it here?- Yes, this part hurts too.
- Here?- Yes, yes.
It's here? Okay.
Is it here? And here?
It's been uncomfortable for quite a while, correct?
Relax more.
Relax.
It's so sore.
How is it? Is the battle over?
I don't know, but he's here.
I'm telling you. It's way too awkward.
You're not here to hear about my sorry state, are you?
I don't have that much free time.
I just think that Lü Cheng is quite unfortunate.
Why?
He was walking along fine on the road until you hit him and became your fake boyfriend.
Jie, can you not laugh at me?(Jie = older sister)
Isn't it because I have no other choice?
If my mom wasn't all alone, I wouldn't do it either.
I say, I think Lü Cheng's pretty good.
At least he's better than that Li Hao.
I think so too.
I think as an ordinary friend, he...
Hold on.
