Episode 27
You guys were so quick! This is really good. Gao Mama, she's a great girl.
I'm sure he'll be happy with her.
Well of course. Come, Xiao Qian.
It's amazing. I've met a lot of people, so I'm really good at judging people.
One look at Yi Qing and I knew that she and Ding Ya would be a pair.
I went to go to that fortune teller today.
It's a miraculous prediction. At once, they were like
aiya, they're a great pair!
Uh, Yi Qing!
Her sign is water. Our Ding Ya's
sign is metal. Metal nourishes water.
That's such a good pair! When they get married, their household will be blissful.
Their marriage will be happy, and they'll grow old together.
Loving affection in a thousand different postures.
How great! I'm getting very happy just saying it!
Only you would be so superstitious.
Calm down first.
How am I suppose to calm down? She's already talking about marriage!
She's just saying it. It's not real, so don't worry.
She's already paired our birth dates!
That may be, but the wedding date hasn't been picked.
Gao Ding Ya, I'm talking to you very seriously. Don't be over there disregarding everything.
Didn't you say you were thinking of an idea? Where is it?
An idea... There is one.
What?
Drag!
I told you to think of an idea. Why are you asking me to undress?
Yeah. Think of an idea to drag out time. Use that in exchange for space.
Why would I drag it out?
Look at how happy my mom is? Are you willing to let an old person be sad and upset?
Okay. How about I find some places with many handsome men and
come with you. I can guarantee your happiness.
Please.
We will go tomorrow.
No problem.
It hurts.
It hurts? Should be red now.
Show show.
Show what?
I remind you that next time you talk, you speak clearer.
What wasn't clear?
It's been so long. Why are they not out yet?
Long? The longer, the better. Let's just let them take long.
Let's slowly wait and have more patience.
You're not afraid of them being in there and starting a war?
What war? At this point we need to fan wind to light the fire.
They say that a newlywed couple's romance fires up like boiling water.
Xiu Qiong, you should congratulate me.
Let me calculate.
Next year, I'll be able to hold my grandson.
I am about to become a grandma!

♫ Who likes being praised for independence? ♫
♫ A stable life, travelling occasionally ♫
Sorry, I made you wait for too long.
It's okay, just now I thought you would change your mind and not come. I was happy for a moment.
Let's hurry inside.
♫ Forgetting you is harder than I imagined ♫
♫ I never let anyone worry ♫
♫ Even when I said "I'm letting go", it was so firm that you believed it ♫
♫ But I actually can't leave ♫
♫ Looking at you hugging your new love ♫
♫ Maybe I don't love myself enough ♫
♫ Forcing myself to do it again and again ♫
♫ Reminding myself repeatedly I should go forward ♫
♫ It's not that I haven't tried ♫
♫ If it's because I don't love myself enough ♫
My belongings are just about all packed.
There are still a few things that I don't need to use any time soon and will have to wait until I find a place to stay.
You are leaving now?
Mhm.
Can you stay for one more night?
Don't misunderstand. I was just thinking of using this last opportunity to talk to you.
Why don't you have dinner here?
Okay, then I will go make dinner.
You can cook?
Making some noodles shouldn't be that difficult.
Wait in the living room. I will be done really soon.
Why don't I do it instead? I do things quicker.
No, it's okay. I will cook. As long as you aren't like me
falling asleep while waiting.
Those are all in the past and also you were really busy then.
♫ It's not that I haven't tried ♫
♫ If it's because I don't love myself enough ♫
Back then, I constantly heard people say that after you lose something, that's when you learn to cherish it.
I always thought they were stupid.
I never thought I myself would unwillingly turn that stupid.
Actually, I'm stupid too. Before, I always thought that leaving you alone was a type of caring.
But... slowly, it made us grow further a part.
After this divorce, we can still be friends, right?
Of course! We are still friends.
Go ahead and eat.
Thank you.
I thought there would be no flavor.
I know how to add salt for flavor.
Never thought that when we are divorcing
we will have time to sit down together and eat
that I can see you smile so happily
Now that we are friends, later on you will have many opportunities to eat together
You're moving in to Living Happiness #1.
Is boss still living there?
Don't worry. I've already let it go and I'm willing to be friends with her.
Then what do you plan on doing next?
I haven't thought about it much, nor do I know, but I have a goal.
What goal?
I wish that in the future, no matter what setbacks I meet,
I'll live happily every day.
Not for others, but for me.
I think we need to celebrate.
Thank you.
Jiang Xiao Qian, I wish that every day in the future
you can be happy and and wonderful.
Thank you.
There's also food to go with the beer.
Here.
The first night after divorcing, Shao Qi and I are still sleeping under the same roof.
But my mood is relaxed and peaceful.

Birdie, if I set you free, will you fly back to your fortune telling master?
What is that kid doing?
Hey, He Xiao Kang. Are you doing something shameful? Yelling so loudly.
There's nothing wrong.
I need to see what you're doing.
Hey!
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Hey, He Xiao Kang.
Are you doing something shameful? Yelling so loudly.
I'm fine.
I need to see what you're doing.
Hey.
Why did you suddenly come in?
You...
Your socks are worn out.
Xiao Kang.
If you don't have any socks to wear, older brother will buy you some.
It's not that.
I'm making a doll for Xu Tong.
She like rags?
Wow, she seems very unusual.
Actually,
I don't even know if she'll like it.
To tell you the truth,
I can't guess what she was thinking.
I asked her what she likes and she said
She said anything is good. She also said anything is bad.
I have no idea what she likes.
How am I going to get her to fall for me?
Women...
like to be just out of reach.
But she doesn't seem that way.
Do you understand women or do I understand women?
You do.
That's right. Let me see your hand.
Your hands aren't suited to do needlework. It's better for unskilled labor.
Don't do things that you cannot do.
If you want to do something, do something you can.
What is that?

XIao Qian, here, use my bag.
It's okay. I'll do it myself.
You look really tired. Go home first and rest.
I'm not in a rush. Don't worry. Use this bag to carry it.
It's okay. I can do this myself.
I...
I'm doing it again.
It's hard to change my personality.
I originally thought I was very reserved.
No matter what, I thought it was best for me to do it myself.
That's why I wanted to change. But I never thought
I really can't change it.
Knowing your own weaknesses and working hard to change them
is a very impressive thing.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Anyway, my bag is so small, it's not enough.
Ah! I thought of it!
If I crush them they should fit in here.
-Okay.-Then let's have a contest
and see who can crush more.
Bai Shao Qi and I got a divorce.
I crushed more so I win.
You really did win. Congratulations, Jiang Xiao Qian.
Thank you.
However, according to this logic, my leg really is more powerful.
I should seriously consider to register for the triathlon.
Do you really want to sign up for the triathlon?
Of course, if it comes to it, I'm going to do it.
This is the first step of my new life.
- Hello?- Xiao Qian.
I put a copy of an important document in the room.
Can I trouble you to send it immediately to the company?
Okay. I'll go home to check immediately.
Hold on.
That... Tian Ling has forgotten something at home and she wants me to deliver it to the company.
Could you please clean up these cans for me?
No problem, I can do it.
Thank you.
Hello, what did you say you needed?
Where is it?
Hello, Tian Ling. I have delivered the document you need here.
What document?
It's the document you told me that you have left in your room.
Oh. That one.
I forget to tell you that I have a soft copy on my computer so you don't need to deliver.
Since you are already out
please help me with something else. Today I will be leaving work really late.
Could you please go get a package for me?
It was at my old place at the security guard's office.
Okay. Okay. I still have a meeting to go. I won't talk to you now.
Hello?
Hey, you're home?
You're at home?
Yes. The meeting ended early. I have nothing to do so I came home earlier to rest.
Oh, right. The other two left once they saw I was home, so
Make a light dinner tonight. I want to eat steak.
What packages do we have? Let me see.
Liu Tian Ling! What does that mean?
I know that you're purposely trying to mess with me, but let me tell you,
I'm just the caretaker of Living Happiness, not your servant!
Did you get it wrong? I consider you a friend because I respect you.
I put up with you because I want to co-exist with you peacefully.
What is this now? What are you treating me as?
Also, steak wants to eat dinner.
I am telling you. I quit.
This Jiang Xiao Qian is really fluent when she yells at people.
Steak wants to eat dinner?
Why would a steak want to eat dinner?

Miss Xiu's expression today is pretty bad.
She came here specially must because she is here to find out who is responsible or guilty.
Finding out who is responsible or guilty?
Hey! What are you doing?
I can't let Quan take the blame.
It is all He Xiao Kang's idea after all.
Wait!
Calm down!
Don't let us loose our end of the year bonus. Don't spoil it.
Don't worry. Your boss, our Quan Ge,
is versatile and a real man.
If Brother Quan is wronged,
I will definitely-
I will definitely comfort him well.
You should just be killed by the guy in black instead.
I think the progression of shooting is too slow.
If we are shooting as normal, it should be finished by now.
This is called "slow work yields fine products"
This is not in the realm of being slow anymore. This is called delaying.
T-t-this is not delaying,
This is... is..emotions need to be
grinded slowly, accumulated slowly.
That way... it can attract... more customer.
That's right. President Xu has a point.
We know that this documentary is extremely important to Sister Xiu Qiong,
So we will pay more attention to the shooting progression from beginning to end
So it will be a bit slow.
I don't care, I want my work to be finished within a week.
What? Just a week?
Sister Xu Tong, our one-third of our shooting has been finished thus far.
It will be very difficult to finish the two-thirds left within a week.
That's right. It is too rushed, I don't have enough time.
I hope this work can be taken care of fast and not delayed anymore.
Then why don't we stop filming for now?
W-what, no, we can't! This-
Th-th-this... Director He,
On the grounds of not halting filming, what thoughts does Director He have?
I don't agree with halting filming either,
Umm... Please let Sister Xiu Qiong give us two months time.
Twenty days.
Twenty days...
One month.
Okay, agreed.
Then, if filming only lasts for a month,
the style of the filming might have to change.
What changes?
Well, perhaps you will have to let us follow around and film. It will add some liveliness in it.
For an example, Sister Xiu Qiong likes to draw.
We can sometimes film the process of your drawing and even display your work.
It will give off good vibe.
Sure. I can have some printings to let you film and put it in the documentary.
Director Wang, I have some things to say to President Xu privately. Could give us some space?
Of course.
I...
I want to directly tell you... can I ask you to stop pursuing me?
Oh, you know?
You are so obvious, anyone who is not blind can tell.
Actually I... I'm not thinking of pursuing you, I just want to admire you.
Can you see that I don't like you? Can I please ask you to give up?
Alright... I will also be honest with you then.
Miss Tao, please give me a chance to court you.
Otherwise... I... I won't give up.
Are we speaking nonsense now? (lit. a ghost hitting a wall)
I... I have always do as promise.
Alright. Since you will do as you said. Let's make a deal.
During this month of filming, I will give you chance to court me.
But once the filming ends and you have not yet move my heart, please give up then.
I disagree.
Alright, if you don't agree that that,
then I'll move to Living Happiness #1.
Even thought we are going to be friends,
but she shouldn't play me that way.
I am just a bit easily going which doesn't mean I am a cower.
I... Even though I am mad, I don't think I should have swear at people.
But... she was the one who played me.
But I shouldn't have swear.
But she is really over the top.
Even so, I should't have swore.
What should I do?
I still have to share the same house.
How should I coexist with her peacefully?
I am sorry. Are you guys dating right now? With me being the third wheel, your date has gone down to the drain.
It's fine. We can go on a date another time, you are more important.
So... Didn't you said that you have yelled and swear at Liu Tian Ling?
I really can't imagine it. Could you show me (how you did it) right here?
I only yelled at her because I couldn't take it anymore.
- I didn't mean to.- You don't need to explain.
If I were you being treated like an errand girl,
let alone swear, I might use violent.
If I was you, I wouldn't be able to endure it this long.
I would've slapped her the moment I found out she was the other woman.
I've thought about teaching her a lesson,
but I thought about it and there was not point. The act already happened.
Don't say it like that.
A person's heart needs to be balanced.
You got injured, so you need to find an exit.
Or else you look like you're fine on the surface,
and the injury never gets treated, and never heals.
Then do you have any suggestions?
Blow off steam.
Let me help. When she's showering, you can turn off the hot water.
Don't listen to him. It's too childish.
You should show her what she has put upon you instead.
You. Go pursue her and then cheat on her.
Huh?
That isn't good. Ding Ya is your boyfriend.
Yeah, he's my boyfriend.
That would turn into me being cheated on.
What should we do?
Forget it. I still have to live with her.
I have faced her everyday. Wouldn't it be awkward if we make it so uncomfortable?
Jiang Xiao Qian, you're not thinking of apologizing to her, are you?
Don't apologize to her. Could you live with apologizing to her? Do you have any dignity?
I know. It's just that it's not good to always talk bad about people.
You have to see what kind of person they are.
- Liu Tian Ling that kind of person...- Alright! I am going to get some drinks. Calm down! I will get you some Chinese herbal tea (to cool her hot temper down.)
Jiang Xiao Qian is too good of a person.
I have a way to help Xiao Qian get revenge.
What is it?
It's time to put our Niao Niao to use.
You aren't thinking the same thing I am, are you?
Gao Ding Ya, not bad!
I am forgiving you for not planning on going to Gay Bar with me.
I didn't say I am not planning on going with you.
You're lying.
Well... Alright. I really think that me going to that kind of place. What if everyone end up falling in love with me?
What about this. As long as we can successfully get that fox,
I'll forget about you agreeing to go to the gay bar with me.
Okay. Then I'll do my best.
Okay.
Are you okay?
Today... Thank you.
No need for thanks. Good night, Xiu Qiong Jie.
Yes. Good night.
- Uh, Xiu Qiong Jie.- Yes?
Well. Perhaps what President said might be a bit inappropriate.
But he really is a genuine person.
Don't worry about that.
Just do your best filming this documentary.
Okay. I got it.
Xiu Qiong Jie Jie!
♫ Smiling with a mask on ♫
♫ Pretending you're strong, but you're actually more vulnerable ♫
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫

- Ah!- Xiu Qiong Jie Jie!
Can you not hug me like that?
- Director He.- Hello, Xu Tong.
Why are you here?
We just saw your father.
My dad is not important. What is important is...
Xiu Qiong Jie, my respect for you is like the Yangtze River.
My admiration for you is like the Yellow River. Once it has overflown, it will not return.
Can you let go first?
No. I won't let go.
Xiu Qiong Jie, I've seen all your films countless times.
Because you are so great. Every movement and smile you made are all like a show/play.
Xu Tong, what do you want? Stop holding her.
I.. I.. and not holding her... I just.. like Miss Xiao very much.
Especially, that move "Love of Dan Shui".
When you looked at the sunset with tear. Just one drop of tear.
With just one drop of tear, I can feel the sadness you want to express.
I worship you very much, Miss Xiao.
What do you really want? Could you let go of my hand first?
I... Miss Xiao! Could you teach me how to act?
Please! Please! I am begging you.
Qiong Jie!
Miss Xiao! Please!
Miss Xiao!
Xu Tong. Well, I think Miss Xiao is too tired from work. So..
Is Xiao Kang at home?
Is there no one home?
Xiao Quan?
Didn't you just go home?
You brought your little brother with you to see Xiao Qian?
Uh...no. To see you.
See me? What is it?
Xiu Qiong Jie Jie!
Xiu Qiong Jie, I really like your acting. Please teach me. Please, please.
I will work very hard to practise.
When I am at home, I have been practising...
happy, anger, sad and joy. This is happy.
And then this is anger.
The last one... the last one is...
- Joy.- You really can't go have kid in secret. The father and daughter are so alike.
Xiao Quan. She did pretty good earlier, right?
I really practise really hard every day.
I work really hard.
Go comfort her.
Xu Tong.
Give me a cola.
Okay. You want ice cubes, right?
What do I say right now to comfort her?
Your coke.
Xu Tong, actually...
Hey, that's coke.
Oh! It hurts!
And it has ice. Are you okay?
Miss Xiao has her rules and personality.
I finally get to see what star is like.
- Xu Tong. - I have decided. Even if I have to go see her several time or knee and beg.
I will get Xiu Qiong to teach me acting.
Xiao Quan. Thank you very much. I am leaving.
I never thought Xu Tong could bounce back so quickly.
She was able to stand back up in a instant.
Brother. I... I didn't say one word and she get right back up on her own.
Impressive.
Was it the coke?

♫ Love~ I love you baby ♫
♫ The scenery is beautiful. Watching shooting stars ♫
♫ If I fall on my knees suddenly, And loudly ask ♫
♫ Baby, are you willing? ♫
- You came. Did you eat anything? I'm going to get you something to eat.- Don't worry, I already ate.
Is that fox back yet?
Not yet.
Did you bring back food? Give it to me, I will put it in a plate.
It's not food.
You shouldn't touch it.
Is there a smell?
His Niao Niao has contribute it.
I am going to that woman's room and put this...
NO!
No matter what, I am the manager of Living Happiness #1.
I have to maintain the cleanness of the building.
Besides, I have to keep the peace for the people who live in this building.
Don't be so serious. This is only a little prank.
And to deal with people like that, you have to treat them how they treat you (lit. an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth).
Let her experience been played otherwise she will never learn her lesson.
I know but this is not just where I live,
it is also a place I work. I have responsibility.
We just want to avenge for you.
I know you feel bad for me.
This is between her and I anyway. So I will find a way to work it out.
What are you going to do?
I will use my own method.
It is not taking it silently and be kind again, alright?
You know that I'm kind-hearted (lit. has the heart of Buddha).
After all, she won't live here for too long.
I will be careful and let her play me again.
Alright. We will do as you wish then.
Then.. What should we do with this?
You got it yourself so you should deal with it. Go throw it away right away. I have been putting up with it long enough.
Oh. Alright.
- Well.- Mom.
Why did you get home so late?
Yes.
Oh... Yi Qing. You are here, too.
Good timing. I just finished what needs to be done out there and got home.
Here. Yi Qing. Come over.
Here. Have a seat.
Hurry. Help me and give it a try.
See if the wedding cake tastes good or not.
Wedding cake?
Yes. It is wedding cake.
Mama Gao. You are really a doer.
You have already brought home wedding cake to try.
Getting marry is something you should make it quick.
Take advantage of it now (lit. strike while the metal is hot). Come, come, come
Wow! You went out all these time and you only brought this home?
Yes. Xiu Xiu. Your mouth is the best. (Your taste is the best.)
Come and give it a try and tell me if it is good or not.
The calorie is too high. I better drink my water instead.
Well, Xiao Qian. Here. Why don't you try this for me?
- I?- Yes. Try one and see.
Hey, what are you doing?
Then let's decide on this one.
Mom,
Don't be such in a rush. Marriage should be well planned.
I know. Because it needs to be well planned,
so I went to look at the traditional engagement pastries earlier.
And another day, I have to bring Yi Qing to try on wedding dresses.
Mom! You're going too fast. My money can't keep up.
What do you mean your money can't keep up?
Money. Getting married needs a lot of money. Otherwise how do we have a wedding?
That's right.
Getting married does need a large sum of money. Money is very important.
Actually, you don't necessarily need to spend a lot of money. Yi Qing won't care about that.
No! This relates to the dignity of a man and the love he expresses.
Yi Qing is my true destiny.
I must give her an unforgettable beautiful wedding.
I never knew you loved me this much. I will patiently wait for it.
It doesn't matter if it's ten or twenty years, I'm willing to wait.
Ten or twenty years?
Xiao Qian,
we have to wait that long?
That's right, a woman's youth is very precious.
Right!
It's okay, I will marry no one but you.
Yi Qing, I will also marry no one but you.
I think you actually don't want to marry each other.
What is this?
Who's bird is so uncivilized?
That's nasty.
- Good morning, Miss!- 'Morning!
Tong Tong!
You... what are you doing?
I'm going to be the apprentice of Xiu Qiong Jie.
Become her apprentice?
What will you be learning?
I want to ask her to teach me to act.
I asked to be her apprentice yesterday, but I was rejected.
But Dad, I will absolutely not give up.
Great. For sure, you deserve to be called Daddy's daughter. Daddy supports you.
Thank you, Dad.
Then, I'll leave.
- Ah Li, let's go!- Okay.
- Wait, you didn't have breakfast yet!- I don't have time!
Our daughter really grew up.
More and more now, she has her own thoughts and views.
If Miss Tong is willing to teach Tong Tong,
Our Tong Tong is so beautiful.
She will definitely like her.
Perhaps her love will extend to me (love for one thing extends to another).
No way.
I can't be lazy. I can't rely on Tong Tong.
Things related to a relationship I must do myself for it to be sincere.
If we (father and daughter) work together,
this fighting force is definitely where one plus one is greater than two.
Wife,
our Tong Tong really likes Miss Tao now.
You won't mind her having this stepmother?
Nothing fell over.
Wife, thank you for your approval. We will be very happy.
Your face doesn't have clues. Only I understand the feeling of sadness.
