~Episode 3~
I've looked at the script. There are no problems.
Do you have any particular thoughts?
Big brother, you wouldn't want to hear my thoughts.
Why not?
This isn't my style.
It's too business-like.
We're originally from two different lines of work,
but I respect your profession.
and I want to thank you.
Thank you for finding me.
I need to thank you for saving me.
I'm not some type of high profile person.
I was close to starving to death.
So I am more thankful that you gave me a chance to make money.
Xiao Kang, when are we going to stop thanking each other?
It feels very distant.
We are indeed distant from each other.
So... are you still involved in theater?
Of course.
I thought you would have a different view after leaving the army.
Then did you not want to be a director after getting discharged from the army?
What kind of joke is that?
I got my hard-earned freedom at that time, so of course I would try my hardest to film.
So I am the same.
Don't worry.
I was joking when I said I would starve.
Besides, this place... will be very full.
Even though I am really poor right now, I am very clear about what I am doing.
Just like you.
You are also very clear about what you are doing.
Xiao Kang, you've really grown up.
I still remember that high school student who didn't want to study anything but drama from back then.
You were also sacrificing everything to study cinema at that time.
Mom and Dad were also very against it.
Alright, let's talk about something else.
Let's talk about the role.
Role analysis is something I'm best at.
Come on.
For this role, I hope you can create something
that gives a feeling of the past. School campus... sentiments...
There are no cars right now?
Oh, okay. Thank you.
What should I do? I'm going to be late.
Hello... I'm by the yoga studio. I'm almost there.
You're there already?
Not yet. I just took my car to get serviced,
and now I can't get a taxi.
What should I do?
Then why don't you take a bus to get here?
It might be faster.
Okay, okay.
But I don't know how to take a bus.
No way.
After getting married, have you been ignoring the real world?
You don't even know how to take the bus.
I haven't had to take it!
Then why don't you tell me how to take one?
Download this app on your phone.
I'll send you the link.
Okay.
I got it. I'll take the bus over.
Okay. Bye bye.
My phone!
♫ Here, fluttering around in the air. Isn’t it great? ♫
♫ Sliding down the rainbow. Hang on tight! ♫
♫ You & me. ♫
♫ It’s just you and me. Holding hands in sweetness ♫
♫ While time stops for a moment. ♫
♫ Let’s stroll on the moon. ♫
♫ Let everyone on earth envy. ♫
♫ A small step from Armstrong. Is a big step for humans ♫
♫ Let’s take one more step, shall we? ♫
♫ Love~ I love you baby. ♫
♫ The scenery is beautiful. Watching shooting stars. ♫
Excuse me.
I'm sorry. Could you stand up please?
Hey, what are you doing?
Do you know that you are sitting on the reserved seat?
- So what? - What do you mean so what?
Don't you see that someone else needs this seat more than you?
My feet hurt so I need this seat too.
You're so young. Would it hurt you to stand a for a little while?
Do you have even a little bit of empathy?
Why would it concern you whether or not I have empathy?
Are you so satisfied with your life that you have nothing better to do?
Miss, I can stand. Don't worry about it.
Uncle, don't be afraid.
Let's not concede to this type of person.
He already said he's fine.
Can you shut up now?
Are you a police officer?
No, I just can't watch you act like this.
Stand up.
Stand up!
Let's just say I'm afraid of you.
Driver, I'd like to get off.
♫ The dragon god is here, so let’s say ‘Hi’. ♫
Uncle, you can sit down now.
♫ Swimming to the river of love, alright? ♫
♫ Love~ I love you baby. ♫
♫ Even under water, we can breathe. ♫
♫ If I fall on my knees suddenly. And loudly ask. ♫
Sorry! Sorry!
Let's go.
You're really too much! You probably didn't even use the EasyCard.
Ok, let's do that. Bye.
Hello. Where did you go so early in the morning?
To discuss a case. I'm not like you.
You can finish your work individually,
but I have a group of employees that I have to provide for.
Aren't you exaggerating?
Isn't it just the "Three Treasures" at your company?
What "group" are you talking about?
Excuse me. Can you please stand up?
Hey, what are you doing?
Righteous Goddess! How about it?
If she's righteous, what does that have to do with me?
When everyone was praising the Righteous Goddess,
there was actually a spirit that was silently supporting her.
With this type of reaction, it means that you still have feelings left for her.
She's already married.
And she's very happy.
Don't speak rubbish.
Mr. He Xiao Quan, from knowing you all these years...
you are definitely...with Ms. Jiang Xiao Qian. Definitely...
Am I wrong?
I really did love her.
See, that's what I said right? I thought something was fishy early on.
So I hope that she can grow old hand in hand with her husband.
And I also hope she can show a smile of happiness forever.
So I hope you can stop using your dirty and stupid mind to perceive me.
Bye.
Hey, wait. What are you saying?
What dirty and stupid?
Alright! You are a god!
Don't look for me when you need a stylist, this dirty and stupid stylist.
Raise your hands slowly,
then bring them to the ground.
Place your palms on the ground and walk with them.
.Then in this position, lift your leg up.
Lift your leg high, stretch your arms.
Keep your chest in. Push your buttocks up.
Both hands together towards your chest.
Here are the best choices: Bali, Guam, and the Maldives.
All the villas are superb.
Which do you think he will choose?
What about Iceland?
Hey, be serious!
Did I mention Iceland?
Then go to Africa.
Hey, guys like Bai Shao Qi can't take a break.
You want him to be locked up with you in a villa doing nothing.
I think he will die.
You have a good point.
Introverted...
Ah, maybe we should just stay in Taiwan for vacation.
That's not a bad idea.
It sounds exciting.
Maybe I can even get pregnant.
What? What? What? So you've already been planning that?
Of course! He is barely in Taiwan 20 days a year!
I definitely have to grab this opportunity!
Or, why don't you go live with him in Shanghai?
He doesn't have time for me in Shanghai. And I don't have any friends over there.
He's afraid I will get depressed.
- Does that taste good?- I think the strawberry one is better.
What he said is right too. If you move to Shanghai with him,
he would still be as busy as he is now and you'd be extremely bored.
But then again...
If you want to get pregnant, even 20 days isn't enough.
Then baby has to rely on videos?
Are you normally "making humans?"
Shhh... Rarely. He's always busy and tired everyday.
- You can't use "tiredness" as an excuse... - Shhh..
Fine. If he's really that tired,
then use your womanly talent to help him forget that he was tired.
Womanly talent?
- How to make him forget? - You need me to teach you such things?
Be more spontaneous. What are pheromones for?
Hey, miss, how old are you?
You're already 32! You will be at high risk.
Many things
are more important than planning holidays
and more lonely.

Wife, I'm home.
Hubby, you're home?
What are you doing? Why didn't you turn on the lights?
Come in here first. I have a present for you.
Oh.
Wife.
Wife?
Hubby...
Wife, what is up with you today?
Wearing something that isn't your style.
Aiyo, don't talk so much. Hubby, come here.
What? Didn't you say you have a present for me? Where is it?
♫ I have, a love present ♫
♫ I want to give it to you ♫
What are you doing?
Huh? You? Again?
Don't you have a love present for me? Where is it?
The present is me. Come.
Wife...
What is with you today? You're different than usual.
You aren't the first one to say that to me.
Hmm?
Aiyo, it's no important. Besides, I just want to be myself.
Don't you think this love present is very great?
It is very great. But I'm really tired today.
Huh? It's been a while since we've done that.
Doesn't your mom really want to hold a grandchild?
That's right.
- Then come on. - Come on.
- Come on. - Come on.
- Come on! - Then I'm coming.
Then I'm going to open my present.
Open it. Hurry and open it.
Don't answer that.
Let me see who it is.
Boss, hi!
That's right. No, you didn't disturb me.
Okay.
Okay, go ahead and talk.
That's right.
Yes.
The timing has changed?
But I've arranged it all.
OK. I'll look into it.
Huh? You'll leave straightaway?
Okay, I'll go do it.
I'll let you know once it is done.
It's alright.
Thanks boss. Bye.
Boss has something on in Shanghai. I might need to head back earlier.
You know I'm disappointed.
Then the holiday, I may not be able to go.
But I've already planned it and done my research.
Alright. I'm sorry.
Be good. I'll make it up to you, okay?
How about this...look, I'm not as busy in March
I'll come home to spend White Day with you okay?
You are always like this. Your words don't count. I don't believe you will come home that day.
Xiao Qian.
Do you think I don't have any feelings?
I know.
We have a third party between us.
♫ 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 ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
You are always like this. Your words don't count. I don't believe you will come home that day.
Xiao Qian.
Do you think I don't have any feelings?
I know...
that there is a third party between us.
You don't see it. Do you?
The third party between us...
is your job.
You make your job more important than me.
I hate being like this. I hate my complaining self.
But I married you.
And you married your job.
♫ 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 ♫
What are you doing?
I...
I am cooking spaghetti for you.
I remembered that you like eating spaghetti.
In the past, every time you ate spaghetti
you would have the biggest smile on your face.
Really?
But I'm clumsy,
so it's all burned.
Is that what you call spaghetti?
I know I didn't make it well,
but I will try.
I really will try.
I'm sorry. Please don't be angry with me anymore.
This is my kitchen. Don't steal my job.
So you're not mad anymore?
I didn't say that.
That's not ok then. I need keep doing it until you're not angry anymore.
Give me the pan.
If you keep cooking, you'll burn down the kitchen.
I'm sorry.
I promise I will definitely come home
and spend White Day with you.
You said it.
I swear.
Swear what?
Alright, go sit in the living room. I'll cook. It'll be ready soon.
Hey!
Take off the apron. You look funny that way.
I'll help you.
What did you say? You're not going on vacation anymore?
He's not going so you need to cancel your plans?
You can still go by yourself.
He's busy and you accept that. I don't have an opinion,
but don't let your life revolve around your husband.
It's so carefree to travel alone.
You not only traveling alone,
I suggest you get a job too.
Your life now is too boring.
Get something you can get involved in.
Work. Working is the best.
He almost here to fetch me. Excuse me while I head to the washroom.
- Hello.- Hi.
- Xiao Qian went to the restroom. Here's her purse.- Thank you.
I have something to say to you.
What is it?
Xiao Qian told me that you guys cancelled your vacation.
Something came up at work. I really couldn't get out of it.
Bai Shao Qi, you're misunderstanding me. I'm not going to lecture you.
Are you not? I feels like I'm going to be attending a really long winded lecture.
Please. Every day I have to listen to my patients problems.
I don't want to take on your family's problems.
But as her friend,
I hope she can be happy.
Xiao Qian isn't happy?
She doesn't say it and is trying hard to mature fast
to face a living alone.
It's fine if you're busy with work,
but she can't be revolving around you all the time.
I hope you can support her in finding something to do.
Work or anything is fine.
My thoughts are like yours. I have encouraged her,
but she doesn't have any confidence in herself.
How about this? Help me and we can both convince her.
- Hubby. - Wife.
You're here.
What were you two talking about?
We're talking badly about you.
You wouldn't.
Let's go.
Yi Qing, thank you.

Yes, slower. About like this.
- I want to tell you, there's another scene that is very important. - Stop.
I don't want to get caught in the rain. It's not food for my hair.
Alright, alright. I will think of something. Like umbrellas and such.
Hey, shh.
This is where you went to college?
Okay, prepare.
5...4...3...up.
Subtitles brought to you by the Singers of Love Team @ Viki
Hey.
Hey!
Why are you acting cool?
How about we, like this...
walk together?
I am willing. Right now I am willing,
and in the future I am also willing.
Cut!
Eh... I can't feel your gentleness in this scene.
Looks like it's not that easy.
This scene is extremely important.
Actually, it's not that hard.
What did you say?
Nothing. Hubby, I'm going to go over there. Wait for me here.
Oh, be careful.
Please try to express your emotions.
Director, excuse me. Can I speak to Miss Xu?
What do you want to say to me?
Subtitles brought to you by the Singers of Love Team @ Viki
You're all wet.
Director, I'm okay now.
Let's try it again.
Okay, let's try it again.
We just chatted.
This mood seems different.
Okay, get ready, 5...4...3...2!
How about we...
like this...
walk together?
Are you confessing to me?
Are you willing?
I am willing. Right now I am willing,
and in the future, I am also willing.
Very good. Cut.
Ai-ya!

Xiao Kang.
Yeah?
Later on, when riding, keep to this area.
Good. Ok. Ok.
That... Later we'll do this.
Alright. OK.
We'll get going.
Alright.
Yes...
Jiang Xiao Qian.
You're really not going to tell me?
Tell you what?
You know what I'm asking.
It's about the female lead, Xu Tong. What did you tell her?
- You really want to know?- Of course I want to know.
My limelight as a director has been snatched away by you.
How embarrassing. How did you do it?
I asked if she has gone bungee jumping.
Bungee jumping?
Before jumping you would be very nervous, thinking of this and that,
but after jumping, you forget about everything.
I don't understand.
It's youth.
That year, at that time, when I said to you "right now I am willing and in the future I am willing."
It was like that feeling.
I felt like I wasn't afraid of anything.
Like nothing in the world could hold me down.
But that feeling, along with time, was slowly forgotten.
Getting married to Shao Qi was the same.
I thought I found a safe place.
But to keep this safety, I've became more cowardly.
So thank you.
Thank me for what?
Thank you for all that we had in the past. Thank you for letting me see my past self.
To meet you again and be your friend is really great.
You don't have to make me feel so touched.
Don't be too touched.
Let's live our lives well using our courage.
So called adults, think they are brave.
But the most vulnerable are actually adults.
I really think
we had a great first love.
Although it has ended, is already over and we've moved on,
that feeling was great.
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
Just love your Gao Ding Ya.
Didn't I tell you we...
Director, the set is ready!
Alright, I'll be right there.
I'm going over first.
Alright.
Let's get ready!
5...4...3...2!
Be careful!
- President, we're here. - Hello.
I'm sorry for bothering you during lunch time.
It's okay. Let me introduce my wife Jiang Xiao Qian.
Hello. Good to meet you.
She's very pretty.
She's elegant. Shao Qi, you've got a good catch.
Thank you. Thank you.
May I know what's your purpose of calling me here today?
There's something I'd like to get your opinion on.
Please speak your mind.
Let's convert this into a senior citizen's condominium.
What do you think?
I'm not talking about a nursing home.
It's more upscale.
It's modern.
It's about letting them have a better quality of life
and it's independent. It's a warm and cozy home.
This idea is great!
Really?
I feel that a Senior Citizen's Condominium should not be a serious place.
It should be a place full of hope.
Like how everyone focuses on facilities.
How elegant they are. How expensive they are. But if we focus on the people instead and
we are concerned about every senior living here, isn't it full of happiness that way?
Xiao Qian, I think this is a great idea. It's not only a great selling point,
it is also a form of giving back to the society. Personally and professionally, it is great.
And also, it shouldn't be called "Senior Citizen's Condominium". It should have a vibrant name.
Like...
“Living Happily #1."
Why "Living Happily #1?"
Because... if #1 is successful, you can continue with #2 and #3.
Then there's an idea of expansion and continuity.
Shao Qi, let's do just that.
- You mean... - I've decided to leave this case
to your company to execute.
Let's let "Living Happily #1" be a world first. We have to do branding.
We have to find a housewife to be the matron.
Most importantly, we have to fulfill what Xiao Qian said just now: The feeling of happiness.
Xiao Qian, you are good. Great!
Shao Qi, I think you have to seriously consider.
Me? I can't. I was just saying what I thought.
Don't worry. Just let Shao Qi handle it for you. I won't have any opinions.
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
It's here.
- Over here.- Don't throw it!
Not bad. You've organized things quickly.
Here.
Hey, don't sit on my bed. Sit there.
Your obsessive personality still hasn't changed.
Truthfully, I'm very curious. Why would you agree to move in with me?
The theatre stage floor is quite hard. It's pretty uncomfortable after a while.
But, we really aren't familiar with each other. I didn't know about you until I saw it on the internet.
What about me?
You and Gao Ya Ding.
- Gao Ding Ya.- Sorry.
We don't have the kind of relationship that you think.
I understand. After all, the world is still not that open.
But...it's been hard on you guys.
Did you actually hear what I said?
Really Brother. Don't lose hope. There will soon be that day and probably very soon.
Whatever. Ok, since we are living together, we need some house rules.
OK. Firstly, respect each other's privacy.
Topics like just now, no mentioning it anymore.
Fine. I'm okay with that. Rule #2.
Maintenance of general cleanliness is a must and no washing of laundry together.
OK. I accept. Rule #3: No bringing anyone home.
You have to let me know if there's really a need to.
- I'm OK. What if that Gao... - Hey hey, there's no if.
There's no if. I promise.
Alright.
Eh... There's a small congratulatory party tomorrow in the office, just among those few. Are you coming?
Of course. I'm a loyal person.
Here.
Cheers!
Wah!

This time, thanks to Shao Qi for finding such a good team.
We are also able to make use of this to let my daughter perform.
Director, I have to salute you.
I'll salute you first. Thanks for giving me a place to stay.
- Are you adapting well to the place? - Yes it's very comfortable. Thank you.
You're welcome. It's not as if you are not paying rent.
But in future, when there are opportunities, please remember my daughter.
Of course.
Thanks.
Come here.
What?
Are you a hungry ghost? These are awful to eat.
Hey, food in the mouth is called "taste"
but that taste is just momentary. Even if you throw it away, it is the same.
So, I'm not bothered about the taste.
It's about filling my tummy, OK?
I know my limits. I'm beneath you.
Bye.
How many marks?
What do you mean how many marks?
My performance this time. On a scale of 1 to 10. What do you think?
For that question, you have to ask my brother. I'm not the director. I don't have the right to answer.
I've improved tremendously, right?
Eh... I have not seen your previous performances... So...
We've been filming for so many days, you still can't recall who I am?
You've insulted me before, remember?
I insulted you before?
You.. are a just a lost ocean.
And you are missing someone. Once you are ready, you can start.
Why are you dead? Please come back!
Don't leave me alone. Come back!
STOP!
Come here.
I'm not done acting!
Leave. Next! Get ready!
I said! I. Am. Not. Done.
Do you respect people?
Then have you respected the script?
What?
Who asked you to stare at the floor? Do you see the ocean? Do you feel the breeze?
Performing isn't as simple as you think.
Next please.
Eh... Next: Wang Kai Jie.
Wait. I only recall I was looking for new actors during the audition.
But... I really have no impression of you. I'm like that to everyone.
How many people have you insulted?
Wait, wait, wait. Can you stop using "insult." It's such a strong word.
Making others embarrassed and ashamed.
Even having nightmares and feeling worthless.
That's not insult?
Then what is insult?
You have a fragile heart? Why are you so easily hurt?
Alright. You want me to give you a score?
I'll give! From 1 to 10? It's the same even if it's from 1 to 100.
I'll give you... ZERO.
Zero points?
You are not hardworking at all. Be it during auditions or actual filming.
You need others to help you all the time.
To help you analyze the character and scene. And you dare to say that you've improved tremendously?
He Xiao Kang, you wait!
I will make you come beg me.
If such a day really comes, I'll look forward to it.
Hey, Xiao Tong! My girl is here.
Let's go. Let's go chat with the director.
There's no need. I have already spoken to the director's little brother,
and we've had a great conversation.
Really?
Is the car here yet? I want to go home.
And book a flight for me. I want to go on a holiday.

- Hey! Daughter! - You don't need to accompany me. I'm not a little girl, alright?
Hey, come in. Welcome, welcome!
Thanks for coming all the way to have this meal with me.
It's nothing. I've not had a chance to chat with you since you've been back this round.
Your business is really getting very big, Boss.
Don't tease me. Please come on in.
I'm left with one more dish. I'll be quick.
Please don't cook too much. There's only the three of us.
Your last meal before you head to Shanghai, she will throw herself into cooking
like she will never cook for you again.
You aren't scared, but I'm super scared.
Every time it's my job to finish everything.
Hey, don't talk rubbish. I'm not like that.
Look, there are only a few simple dishes.
Only a few simple dishes.
Miss, you'll finish all these on your own.
Alright. Let's chat while eating.
Alright, let's eat.
Oh yes, Shao Qi. I heard this movie had good responses.
You won't be getting a promotion, will you?
Nope, but this really won his trust.
He even let me handle everything else. So I'm really happy.
Taiwan cases?
So subsequently you'll be shuttling between both places.
He wants me to do up a senior citizen's condominium,
and this is a place to offer the seniors another option for an independent and fulfilling life.
Then my company will be in charge of marketing and management will be by...
This sounds interesting, doesn't it Xiao Qian?
Yes. I've met the boss and seen the place. It's really great!
You not only saw the place. He wants you manage the place for him.
I remember you told me that your dream was to manage a hotel,
and this hotel doesn't need to earn loads of money. It's meant for people who really need a place to stay.
I laughed at her at that time that she wanted to starve herself.
Here's your opportunity. Try it.
That's right. I've been encouraging Xiao Qian.
Right now, with you as her adviser, I feel more assured.
Alright. Even I'm dragged in. You have no reason to fear this.
I'm only going to ask you one question. Do you want to do it?
Subtitles brought to you by the Singers of Love Team @ Viki
Yes.
But can I really do it?
That's right. This is it.
Ah, do you have chili?
I'll get it for you.
Thanks.
Don't thank me. I also hope she gets a focus in life.
Here.

♫ 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
