Episode 26
Sense of humor? Is it that easy?
No, it's not easy at all.
Wanting to make someone laugh is actually very hard. Plus,
not being vulgar and being tactile.
Being able to seamlessly incorporate jokes into conversation
is a very difficult skill.
So having a sense of humor
has such a deep knowledge behind it.
How do you think my reputation of getting people to like me
came to be?
Hey!
Sense of humor?
He Xiao Kang?
Why are you surrounded like that?
You want to scare her by being a streaker, right?
Which play are you performing now? Is it the "Condor Hero"?
Our troupe leader wouldn't do something like that.
Don't worry. I'm not a pervert.
Hey, Xu Tong, find a seat.
- Ah Li, you...-I don't need to sit down, thanks.
No one told you to sit.
Come over and help me.
Hurry, go. You have to obediently do what the leader says.
He's not my leader.
Ah Li.
Alright.
What do you need help with?
Take the cloth down.
Is there anything nauseating behind that?
You're so annoying. You're being too imaginative.
Hurry up, Ah Li.
I want to see what's behind the black cloth.
Yes, Miss.

Did the boss' son-in-law certificate
scare him so much it short-circuited his brain?
If you can get a woman to laugh for you,
then you at least meet the standards.
What's going on? What's wrong with you?
Oh my god!
My artistic troupe leader...
What are you doing, He Xiao Kang?
Why are you two here?
I told them to come.
It's not right that we only practice together.
The troupe is everyone's,
so everyone should practice together and work hard together.
That's right. Miss is so thoughtful.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
I am... Miss' bodyguard.
I'm the famous, cold-blood, indifferent, and kungfu pro, Ah Li.
He seems very uncool.
What did you just say?
Ah Li, don't be rude.
Yes, Miss.
Which scene are we rehearsing today?
- Actually, I... - Let me guess.
Xiao Kang, you don't want to...
practice the cartoon version, right?
The cross-dressing Juliet and Romeo
rides Pegasus and soars into the horizon.
And then during their moment of happiness, they stop...
So because Xiao Kang can't borrow the Pegasus costume,
he used the dinosaur to replace it?
See? I know Xiao Kang's thoughts the best.
Xiao Mao, how impressive!
Good that you knew it.
If you only can only borrow the dragon costume,
then why don't we... have a dragon slayer?
And I'm Demigods and Semi-Devils and Soaring.
I think this is a good name.
- Really?- Then do you also want to act out a
theatre version too?
You have a lot of anger. Do you want to join our troupe?
- Looks like you're in great physical shape. You work out. - Yeah.
Look at that stubble!
And look, we both have single eyelids. We can act together.
Let me answer this call. Sorry.
Hello? Boss?
Let me tell you. This theatre troupe is strange.
They're so scary!
Are you sure you want that He Xiao Kang as your son-in-law?
I don't think that's a good idea.
Stop talking on the phone.
Rehearse! Go, go, go, go!
Hey, Xiao Qian!
What are you doing? Why do you kept going to the storeroom?
Going in and out, and you're carrying a cleaning rag.
What are you cleaning?
Yeah, there's nothing in the storeroom to clean.
Or are you like Lin Man Man, and feel antsy when you have nothing to do
so you like to find things to do.
Gao Mama, Xiu Qiong Jie,
I will be staying here at Living Happiness #1 for now.
So I've borrowed the storeroom from President Xu.
I plan to sleep there.
Wow, you finally decided? I support you.
Xiao Qian.
Is this okay?
I already brought up getting divorced.
But he said he wants to think about it more.
So living separately now is probably the best solution.
Wow, then that's great.
Tonight let's open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
What are you saying?
They are talking about divorce and living separately and you want to celebrate with champagne?
It's because Xiao Qian has learned to take the initiative
and attack, and I'm happy for her.
The person I hate the most has returned. I don't want to see her so I'm going back to my room.
It's rare that we have the same thought.
Gao Mama, Xiu Qiong Jie
You don't need to go hide. I'm going straight to my room.
I'm not going to hide.
I was thinking of asking you to have a drink with me.
Don't worry, I don't have any motive.
I just want to innocently have a drink with you and chat. Can we?
Your room is already made up.
In the future, there won't be anything weird like talismans.
And I saw that you had an article of clothing that lost it's button,
so I helped you sew it back on.
You being so nice to me all of a sudden made me think of a wise saying.
Nothing in life is free. You must be up to something.
You're very paranoid about being harmed.
That day I was being too rash when I threw the vegetables at you.
I actually don't really hate you.
If you didn't have that kind of relationship with Shao Qi,
I think we could have been friends.
You want to be friends with me?
Can we not be friends?
Seeing you change is really surprising.
I am prepared for my new life.
What does that mean?
I told Shao Qi that I want a divorce.
I told you. I didn't want to break up your marriage.
We weren't careful and so our relationship disappeared bit by bit.
Your appearance just quickened its collapse.
- Jiang Xiao Qian.- So
if you like Shao Qi,
don't keep saying you're a classy and new-type of woman who just want a physical relationship, not love.
Let go and pursue him.
Hello?
Yes, Bai Shao Qi is my husband.
Car accident?

Sit down first. Since you have an injury, you can't bathe right now.
I'll help you draw the water and will help you bathe in a moment.
Can you stop for a minute?
You've already told me you want a divorce.
Why are you still doing all this?
I want to divorce you because I feel
that we can't live together anymore.
But I'm not a cold hearted person
After breaking up, I can't start becoming a cruel person, cutting all ties with you.
We are still husband and wife.
It's normal for me to take care of you when you are hurt.
But if you don't want to me to do this,
then just say it directly.
I will stop immediately.
Do whatever you want.
Would you like to have a cup of coffee? I have something to say to you.
If it's just to talk about work...
It has something to do with Jiang Xiao Qian. Don't you want to hear it?
Please come in.
What would you like to say?
You let me in after saying it has something to do with Jiang Xiao Qian.
Do you care about her?
I am old friends with her.
Please use as you like.
But from what I saw,
it doesn't seem so.
This is just a picture from college.
I didn't know it was inside the book.
What is so good about Jiang Xiao Qian that you're so protective of her?
You're obviously surprised that I saw this photo, yet you're pretending to be calm.
Don't you want to ask me what kind of thoughts I had after seeing this photo?
Or do you just want me to guess your relationship according to whatever I feel like?
You can think what you like.
But I'll say this...
Don't hurt my friend.
Friend?
If there's nothing else...
Don't be in a rush. I haven't even had the coffee you poured me.
Jiang Xiao Qian said she wanted to be friends with me.
You think it's surprising too?
Normally, a woman will hate the mistress who has an affair with her husband.
But unexpectedly, she wants to be friends with me.
Then she must have decided to let go.
Let go?
Yes.
Because she doesn't want to punish herself because of your mistake.
You guys were the ones who did something wrong.
There's no reason for her to be hurt and suffer
because your mistake.
Does she think she's a saint?
Letting go when she says she is?
She just wants herself to have a good life.
It's also a way for you guys to live well too.
Impossible. A woman like this doesn't exist.
Then she's the first one that you've met.
Looks like the coffee today doesn't suit my taste. I like it more sour.
That's great.
Please.
You can sleep in the master bedroom.
I've placed the medicine on the nightstand.
If you're uncomfortable during the night, just call me.
The doctor said you might get a fever.
You misunderstood my meaning.
I definitely don't want to get a divorce.
When the car accident happened,
I was standing in the middle of the street,
thinking about our problem.
That's why I didn't see that car that ran a red light.
Shao Qi, since you
- already…- Sorry.
Let me finish what I'm saying first.
There's something in my bag.
Take a look at it first.
I already signed it.
Let it be
the last give that I give to you.
♫ The more lively a city is ♫
♫ The more lonely a person is, I'm like an isolated island ♫
I think...
I owe you
more than an apology.
The affair...
Even though it hurt your heart,
but these 3 years of marriage
really suppressed you.
That day you came to pick me up,
I heard everything that you and He Xiao Quan said.
I love you.
But my love
cannot make you happy.
It hasn't made your life better,
and it can't make you feel blessed.
So
maybe letting
that Jiang Xiao Qian that loves eating pickled plums come back
is the right thing.
Don't say that
because marriage isn't just one person's responsibility.
I should also look at myself.
A lot of things were also created by me.
At the last moment,
you're still being considerate.
I know that
maybe
saying sorry again will not make up for anything.
But I still want to say it to you.
Xiao Qian,
I'm sorry.
This marriage did not make you happy.
I'm really sorry.
♫ You need to suffer a few wounds ♫
♫ So you can let go of regrets ♫
You don't need to say sorry to me.
Actually, I want to say thank you to you.
Thank you for giving me such a valuable experience
and letting me see my worth once again.
♫ Or those things you can't do well ♫
♫ You still need to keep running forward in life ♫
- Me first! Let me! - Me first!
- I'm first!- I'm first!
Ya! You must let me go first.
You go in for such a long time. It's like you're an incubating egg.
You take such a long time, but nothing happens. Why should I let you go first?
You don't even work. Why are you in a hurry?
I'm just in a hurry.
People have three hurries. Hurry to pee, hurry when sick, and a hot temper.
I'm just in a hurry. I have to see Ding Ya in a bit.!
Then just go at his place! He's next door anyway.
I'm going to Ding Ya's place. How can I see him without brushing my teeth or showering?
Is there a difference if you brush?
Will you be prettier? It'll be the same!
Xiu Qiong Jie! Gao Mama!
What is going on?
She's fighting me for the bathroom.
Everyone's living under the same roof.
There'll always be someone before and after.
That's right. I'm first and she's after me.
Who made these rules?
Who said that you have to be first and then I'm after you?
You are really strange. You got up early
and just flitted around for a while.
You didn't go to the bathroom, and then when you saw me
did you just suddenly have to hurry to go to the bathroom?
That's right. When I saw you I just felt like using the bathroom.
What about it? Is that my fault?
So you're saying that my face,
- when you see it you want to go to the bathroom?- That's right.
Stop!
Let's make a deal, okay?
Why don't we do it like this. At peak times, each person has a limit of 15 minutes.
During normal times, each person gets 40 minutes.
Or else, if there's someone in the bathroom, you don't know if something's happened or not,
so it'll be hard to take care of. Is this okay?
Alright. I'm not an unreasonable person.
Let's just use this rule.
But I think that 15 minutes is a bit short.
What about 20 minutes?
If Gao Mama doesn't have any objections, then... Gao...
Lin Man Man!
I'll see you in 20 minutes!
Lin Man Man! You petty person! You're really too much!
Good morning.
Shao Qi's injuries aren't major. He should be able to go to work today.
Did you really let it go, or are you pretending?
Does pretending make it easier for you?
Miss Liu.
I hate holy white lotus flowers like you the most.(t/n: Saint-like)
What lotus flower?
I just heard. What kind is that?
And with a holy light.
Don't think that if you're honest with others,
they'll interact with you peacefully.
Flirt! What lotus flower?
And a holy light? What is that?
Talk!
Yi Qing?
Why are you-
Don't say anything.
You brat. You change expressions pretty fast,
getting scared like this after seeing your mom.
Mom, why are you here?
I'm your mom. Of course I'd be here.
Did you see Yi Qing in your dreams just now?
How did you know?
Yes. I know.
It's because
you were calling Yi Qing's name.
And then you did this.
I really...?
Like that?
You really did.
How great, Son!
Seeing you like that made me so happy. This is called
what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Even in your dreams you dream of Yi Qing.
This means you must already love her deeply.
What are you saying?
Don't be bashful.
Do you have time today to contact Yi Qing for me?
Let's have a meal with her, and then
I have something I want to give her.
This isn't
the legendary gold necklace, gold ring, and gold bracelet, right?
What do you mean legendary?
It's reality.
It's not just reality, but a courtesy.
It must be used.
This is what I asked that
gold jewelry shop owner
to specially make by hand. I want to give Yi Qing this gift.
Mom, this is too fast. Yi Qing and I
can't follow those footsteps.
Can't follow my footsteps...
It's me who can't follow your footsteps.
You guys have already done this and that.
That and this. Haven't you?
Oh, right!
Recently, Yi Qing has been very busy. She probably doesn't have any time to worry about these things.
Very busy?
She said that recently the season's changed,
so there are a lot of changes in mood.
Therefore, there's a lot of clinic patients. It's super busy.
- Really?- Really.
You're not tricking me, are you?
No.
Or...
are you still indecisive?
Do you still like men?
How could I, Mom!
I 100% like women.
That's good.
Then... Then if there's no time today, you can just
find another chance to 100% help me arrange a meeting with Yi Qing.
Okay, I'll arrange it whenever she has time. Your gold.
Take it back. Don't lose it.
Why are you in such a rush?
Put it away. They're such valuable things.
Wait for me to get my things!
- Okay. Don't lose it!- I got it, I got it.
Don't rush me. Why are you in such a rush?
Let me put on my shoes. Let me tell you,
you have to help me arrange a meeting with Yi Qing.
- Okay.- I...
This... I always have this with me. I'll wait for her.
Mom, okay. You don't need to keep this on you.
- It's so expensive...- Don't worry!
It's precious!
Arrange a meeting with Yi Qing, okay?
- Okay. I will.- Don't keep rushing me.
- Bye bye.- Okay. Bye bye.
Oh god...
I never thought mom was this serious.
Get up, get up!
- Quickly!- What?
Get up. Don't sleep.
Help me solve this problem and then sleep. I waited until your mom finally left.
- My mom?- Yes.
Did you let her in?
Yeah. Your mom was finding you to discuss something, so I let her in.
Never mind.
Okay, what did you want to ask? Ask away.
How could you make such a mess of the living room?
Are you blaming me now?
Do you still want me to help you get girls?
No, I'm not blaming you.
Alright, since you're so cute,
ask.
Alright, then I'll ask. Ding Ya Ge,
last time you taught me to make girls laugh.
What if she laughed?
Then after that? What else can I do
so get more points?
It's hungry.
It's hungry?
What does it being hungry have anything to do with my question?
Child,
no pain, no gain.
There's nothing in this world that you don't work for.
Even if there is, it's mine. Got it?
- Okay.- Good.
Then let's have the master teach you.
Since you've already made her laugh,
you now have to cater to her tastes
and surprise her with a gift.
When she's surprised, she'll say
"Wow! How did you know I like this?"
After she's said this key phrase,
then sincerely look at her.
Just like this. And then tell her
"Because I'm always watching you."
It's just like that. I promise you'll succeed in getting all the points.
Get all the points just like that?
Yes, of course.
Because you have a perfect master like me.
Okay, I got it.
- Thank you, Ding Ya Ge.- Good luck.
Remember to feed it.
You want to ask for this afternoon off?
The salary deduction for unexpectedly asking for leave is very harsh.
I know. There's nothing I can do.
My friend is unexpectedly missing a bridesmaid and asked me to help.
Why is it so sudden?
It's not because she got pregnant after a one night stand, is it?
No.
She's in a passionate love affair.
They both consider each other to be their true love,
so they've decided to get married.
That's a bit too dramatic, isn't it?
But your friend is really honest with her feelings,
and not afraid of true love coming and going fast.
At least she's experienced it.
At least's it's better than me, empty skies,
without a cloud to be seen.
If I can't find my Mr. Right by the end of the year,
I have to wait another 12 years!
Don't believe what fortune tellers say.
Fortune telling is a type of hypnotic sleep.
If you believe him, then wait another 12 years!
Hey. This fortune teller is very accurate.
My friend's fated marriage was calculated by him.
He said my friend's fated marriage was in this year,
and it would be a surprising turn of events
when she first meets her true love.
I just know that surprising events are everywhere like mosquitoes.
A surprising turn of events doesn't equal marriage after a one night stand, okay?
The principle of a one night stand is to satisfy your needs.
How could it turn into romantic feelings?
Hey! Don't ruin my beautiful fantasy, okay?
I didn't ruin your fantasy.
I'm just helping your good friend
and giving her a heads-up.
When you go find her,
bring my business card.
If it goes wrong, I'll have a chance to be their divorce therapist.
Alright, I'm sorry.
Why would I be mad?
I already knew that you were cold blooded.
Oh, right. Didn't you say that you wanted to erase your memories yesterday?
Yesterday's things... Just pretend I didn't say it.
Hey! If you really need it, I can introduce you to my teacher.
There's really no need.
Yi Qing!
Gao Mama.

♫ Pretending you're strong, but you're actually more vulnerable ♫
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Here.
Gao Mama, this-
Hey.
This is the gift I was talking about.
You left so fast yesterday.
I went, but I couldn't meet you. I asked Ding Ya, but he said that you've been busy recently.
I was thinking that since you're so busy, when would I be able to meet you?
Gao Mama is very smart. I thought why not just go to your clinic and make an appointment?
Now, see? What a coincidence!
I bumped into you right at the entrance!
Gao Mama, I really can't accept this.
Yi Qing, you have to accept it. If you don't,
you... you're rejecting my sincerity.
No, but I really...
Alright, don't this and that.
We're already at this point.
Be good. Take it.
Thank you, Gao Mama.
No need to thanks. Silly girl. We're almost part of the same family and you're thanking me.
Yi Qing, your birth information... Can you give that to me?
My birth information?
Yes. Birth information.
I'll take your birth information and Ding Ya's
to get them matched and pick a good day.
Pick a day?
Yes.
Don't laugh. I'm superstitious.
But marriage has been like this since the early days.
I must take your birth information and Ding Ya's
and match them to pick a good day.
This is a custom and a practice.
I was thinking. Elders in ancient times had wisdom.
Getting married is a huge thing. I just want yours and Ding Ya's
birth information. Then I'll find a good day.
The camera advertisement...
Management wants to emphasize the product's one-of-a-kind characteristics.
Other than the product's image resolution,
there's also...
Sorry.
Your mom came to find me.
Didn't we agree to wait for me to set it up?
Huh?
Uh... Sorry.
Yi Qing sent you a message?
Uh, yeah.
Aww! Depending on the person you love. How sweet!
Let's continue with the meeting, okay?
Okay, we were just talking about the camera advertisement.
Other than having high image resolution, it has increased it's 4K shooting capabilities
as well as very good images and post-production abilities.
Uh, Gao Ding Ya.
Your mom gave me a gold necklace and invited me to dinner tonight.
Did you accept?
How could I not? She even asked for my birth information!
Gao Ding Ya, hurry and think of something!
Just keep going along with it. I'll try to think of something quick!
Why would I?
Please!
Aiyo. Guys in relationships really are different.
- That's right.- He turns into this when he gets a message from his girlfriend!
Yeah!
Happy for love, sad for love. Go crazy for love.
Quan Ge, we can also depend on each other and send fiery messages!
Ah Ru, I like talking face to face more.
You like being face to face with me.
I understand what you mean!
Right! Ding Ya Ge and that psychologist are probably not far from marriage!
It must be that Gao Mama has already started on the jewelry.
Oh!
Hey, if you're a friend then you wouldn't gossip.
I just care about you. I would like to see it happen.
Us too!
Great. You guys are smiling like you're watching a comedy. You think I can't tell?
Okay, we're in a meeting. Don't joke around.
Alright, let's let him be.
We're having a meeting.
Just silently congratulate in your hearts.
.
Ok. Let's go back to the advertisement. The camera advertisement.
I want to look through the viewfinder,
and emphasize it's unique scenery and world as a comparison.
Or for some cause or some person.
Right, what do you want to do with the bird?
Reading but not responding. Don't you know that doing this is very heartbreaking?
There's no construction. Why are you blocking the road? You're crazy.
Xu Tong, what does she like?
- Hey, Xu Tong.- What?
Do you like flowers?
Who would like that?
Everyone has something they like. For example, do you have a favorite color?
No, I don't have a favorite color.
I don't dislike any color either.
So you like romantic novels?
I like them.
Look, look! That guy pulled her into an embrace and kissed her.
In the middle of the day. So aggressive! Wow!
So you like guys with aggressive personalities?
Like the CEO in the stories?
Please, only stories would have those kinds of aggressive CEOs.
In real life, if they're not the same age as my dad, they're older.
How could I like that?
Then that's good.
Hey. Then do you like dolls? A lot of girls like dolls.
They're okay. I have a lot in my room.
He Xiao Kang, you're really weird.
How?
You're the one who invited me out to observe and study people's words, actions, and manners.
But you're not being serious and you're asking me weird questions.
Is it that you have a girl that you like
and you want to ask me how to pursue her?
No, I don't!
Concentrate on looking at your lovers.
Pay attention to the happy expression on their faces and their interactions. Pay attention.
Okay, okay.
Hey, don't be so courteous. I really understand Romeo.
I've read books like "Strategies to Pick Up Girls", and "How to Strike a Conversation",
and "How to Get Her to Love You".
Xu Tong, enough. Just look at those lovers.
Okay.
If you need it, I can lend them to you.
Xu Tong!
Okay, okay. I'll concentrate.
Look at that! Wow.
Let me put this food away.
I'll be done cooking very soon. Then you can try my cooking.
You haven't eaten my cooking, have you? It's pretty good.
Gao Mama, I'm sorry, but I have something to take care of. I can't stay and help you.
It's okay. It was a last minute
invitation to Yi Qing to come here and have dinner.
Don't worry.
Where are you going?
I'm going with Shao Qi to the Household Registration Office.
- Wow. You decided that fast?- Yes.
Xiao Qian.
Gao Mama, you don't need to worry. I've talked it over with Shao Qi. I'm okay. Really.
This...
You're doing very good. From now on, learn how to be yourself.
Thank you, Xiu Qiong Jie.
Marriage is a big thing.
Enough. She's already thought it through. There's no need to get involved.
Yes, Gao Mama.
When you came in you said you had something big to announce. What is it?
Hearing that you're going to the Household Registration Office to finalize your divorce...
Aiyo. I don't know how and whether or not I should say it.
Oh. Is your big news that your son is marrying Yi Qing?
- Us get married?- Me get married to her?
Yi Qing, you accepted Ding Ya's proposal? Congratulations!
- I didn't propose.- I didn't!
Then why did Gao Mama say that you guys are getting married.
Of course they're getting married.
Aiyo. Getting married and do what you should do.
Do all the formalities. You should at least give her status.
Besides, you've already done what you shouldn't have, so why can't you do
what should be done?
You already did what shouldn't have been done.
You and Ding Ya... So fast!
How great! Gao Mama, Yi Qing is a very, very great girl.
She and Ding Ya will definitely be happy!
Of course. Come, Xiao Qian.
Smart. Gao Mama has seen a lot of people. My judgment is really accurate.
.
Didn't you say that you're going to think of an idea? What is it?
Drag.
Your face doesn't have clues. Only I understand the feeling of sadness.

♫ Your expression, Can you just ♫
♫ let me find some clues? ♫
♫ Don't be afraid, Please hold my hand ♫
♫ Smiling with a mask on ♫
♫ Pretending you're strong, but you're actually more vulnerable ♫
♫ Don't let your face be filled with pain anymore ♫
♫ Just let it go ♫
♫ Let happy tears flow ♫
♫ Have sadness be completely removed ♫
♫ This world is waiting to be inspired by you ♫
♫ Everywhere in this world ♫
♫ is inspirational ♫
The Love Song
