~Episode 8~
I didn't think that you are such a sweetheart.
You went to the night market to shop and even thought about me so you bought me dinner?
You really haven't wasted your energy on me.
Hello? Hello?
I'm not done speaking and you hang up on me?
Wow, this medication is really incredible.
The swollen area doesn't itch right after I apply it.
Mom's love is really great!
Oh right... I already said to give mom a makeover a couple of times.
I have to quickly find a time for that while I'm not busy.
Not answering again?
Hello, mom! Did you randomly place your cell phone somewhere again?
Hello, Ding Ya.
It's you, older brother? Where's mom?
Mom isn't here. I heard the phone ringing and then I noticed that mom put her phone down at the entryway.
Mom!
How did it go? Did you find her?
You're back. Is mom back?
No. I can't find mom either.
What is up with mom?
She's already at this age, but she's still doing this... and making us all worried.
Sister-in-law... mom has disappeared. Shouldn't your tone show a little more concern?
Hey, your sister-in-law said it like that
because she is also worried. Why are you blaming her?
Mom just hasn't come home yet. It doesn't mean she really disappeared. She could have had some place she had to go to.
That's impossible! When she left my place, she was clearly rushing to go back and cook for Wei Wei.
Why would she go somewhere else?
Mom is getting old.
Her memory will become worse. Or else, why would she have left her phone at the entryway and gone out?
That's right. Ting Ru is the most knowledgeable about this.
She has to interact with mom everyday. If it weren't for you not being able to find mom
and making me go out to help find her, I would have said she'll be returning soon.
Do you guys even know how much mom values you guys and Wei Wei?
Although mom's memory has worsened and forgets this and that, as long as something involves Wei Wei, she definitely wouldn't forget!
Why are you raising your voice? Wei Wei is already asleep. Can you keep it down please?
So it's important that your son gets his sleep, while mom's not important?
Gao Ding Ya! Are you intentionally bothering your sister-in-law?
You talk back at everything she says. Do you even treat her as your sister-in-law?
Why don't you listen to what she's been saying?
Mom still hasn't come back, and all she's worried about is her son's sleep!
Ting Ru is more rational. It's you who's causing a fuss! This doesn't mean she doesn't worry for mom's safety!
What are you guys doing?
Mom!
Why are you guys all crowded here?
Ding Ya, why did you come back here?
Mom, are you okay? Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?
Oh... didn't I say I was going to get groceries?
I ran into an old friend while I was shopping.
She invited me to go chat at her house.
We kept chatting, so I forgot what time it is and to call home.
Isn't that what I said? Mom's memory hasn't been good lately...
That's enough! Let's not talk anymore since mom's back.
I'm going back to the room.
Mom. You have to remember your phone if you go out in the future.
Even if you are missing, we can still contact you. Alright?
Alright.
So the phone was at home... I thought I had lost it.
Mom... it's all your fault. You scared me!
You made my originally full stomach empty again.
You're hungry?
Of course! Do you know how many places I went to trying to find you?
I don't care. You have to make cookies for me.
What cookies?
Mom's specialty is scallion pancakes, okay?
Mom, I want scallion pancakes.
Oh...
No, mom! I want something sweet.
I want salty. Scallion pancakes!
-Sweet -Salty -Sweet -Salty
Alright, mom. You decide which one you want to make.
Whichever one of my sons is the most well-behaved,
I'll make it for him first.
I have been the most well-behaved since we were young.
Why mention the past? What's important is right now.
Mom... this is very heavy. I'll carry it for you.
Mom, you've been walking the whole day.
Your shoulders must ache from carrying heavy stuff. I'll give you a massage.
Does this feel good?
Mom, I'll help you knead the dough later. You give the command and I'll do it, okay?
Okay, okay!
Father, I'm still blessed no matter what.
I'm really blessed, right?
10 grams of nuts.
66 calories.
250 CC high iron, calcium skim milk, 102 calories.
Banana, 91 calories. 100 grams bird's nest in a teacup, 53 calories.
Plus Vitamin Complex Supplements... Perfect!
Even dropping a vitamin... Really?!
Why is my head so dizzy?
Baked cookies again? No way!
Jiang Xiao Qian.
Didn't Director Xu agree for Tao Xiu Qiong to be the spokesperson yesterday?
What other worries are there?
Morning! You're up early.
Eh... don't move.
What is it?
Aren't you exaggerating it?
Alright. You can go.
Have you eaten breakfast?
Breakfast? I'll buy something when I go out later.
You don't need to buy it. There will be breakfast in a bit.
-Huh? -Can't you smell it?
There will be hot from the oven cookies delivered here later.
Good morning!
Thank you. Please come in.
Oh.
I made a lot. Eat this.
It's okay. I'm not used to eating cookies in the morning.
Habits can be formed by learning. Here, eat some more. You'll get used to it.
You don't need to say thank you. It's about time, hurry and leave.
Go get ready.
Okay.
Please come in.
I'll get you some slippers.
- I'm leaving.- Bye.
Be careful outside.
Okay.
Can you put the slippers away?
Okay.
Hello?
Yes, landlady.
What? You're willing to let us back in the theater?
Why so sudden?
Okay. Yes, landlady.
Why? What are you upset about, making biscuits?
I'm worried.
Worried about what?
Do you think Tao Xuan Hao will be the ambassador for Living Happiness #1?
What if he doesn't agree? Who else can I find?
What if because of this, boss doesn't want an ambassador? Then what do I do?
Stop worrying.
The decision is in Tao Xiu Qiong's hand.
It doesn't matter how you think, we can only wait.
I know I just need to wait but...
Fine. I'll just wait.
These cookies are for Ding Ya.
These? That much?
Yes, before you head to office, come over to my place.
There's a lot of cookies there that you can give to your friends.
So you are forcing all of us to get a prize.
That's not it.
It's free PR for you, why are you complaining?
It's because you are my 'sister', thus you get such special privileges!
Then I'll have to thank you.
Where's the coffee?
What?
I made so many cookies for you. You can at least give me a cup of coffee.
I'm sorry, I forgot. Wait a moment.
Here, be careful it's hot.
Thank you.
Why is it so bitter?
I only like 1/3 coffee and the rest milk with no sugar.
I'm sorry, I forgot.
I'm used to bitter coffee.
How about this...
Have a bite of cookie then drink a sip of coffee.
Try it.
Not bad right? Isn't it like latte?
It seems to taste pretty good.
Why am I lying on the floor?
I fainted.
Lord, what happened. How long have I been laying here?
How long did I faint for?
53 minutes? I fainted for that long?
Wow, what happened?
I'll catch a cold. Lord, I'll be in trouble if I get sick.
I'm sick.
I can't be sick, won't be pretty.
I fainted for about 50 minutes.
If I hadn't woke up by myself.
Who will help me?
Living alone is not safe.
I should find some roommates.
It should be safer for me.

Wow!
Wow...
We're finally back.
I didn't think that the landlord will be so kind.
We finally don't have to be like beggars!
Excuse me.
Are you Mr. He Xiao Kang?
Hua Xia Original Works?
Mr. He, you know who we are?
Of course. You guys helped a lot of talented local writers.
But
why are you looking for me?
Since you know a little about us already then I won't explain more and directly tell you why I'm here.
I'm here today because I am very interested in your acting group.
My acting group?
Our group is now looking to groom new talent.
The news noticed you a few days ago.
We thought that your group is ideal.
So we are approaching your group to be in our trainee team.
This is our contract and proposal.
Mr. He, do you have any questions?
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
It's my acting group?
When we have our performance, we can't even sell our tickets for 100 yuan.
We are looking for those with potential.
If you've already built yourself up with certain systems and investors
Then you will not be the group we want.
Then please let me ask,
if we sign with you,
does that mean your group will be able to decide how we perform?
Rest assured. We will only find a director to be in charge of operations.
We will only be providing some suggestions.
Alright. Then let me go talk to my group about this.
Then I'll let you know.
Thank you.
Hua Xia Original Works Corp
Ugh, Xiao Kang. Why are you still being hesitant?
You should sign the contract. The terms are so good.
I agree. Then we don't have to worry about finances.
I know what you two are saying but...
I still feel weird.
I can't say what it is.
I just feel
is my luck too good?
Xiao Kang, we've been going downhill for so long.
It's time for our fortune to turn!
Are you thinking too much?

Does it really have these public facilities?
So in building A, third floor, #303
really has Living Happiness #1?
That's right. There is a Ms. Jiang
that comes everyday and gives us cookies that she bakes.
- Is that right? Thank you.- Yes.
Also, what I asked you earlier,
can you keep it a secret?
Thank you very much.
Isn't this the design for Happy Living Number one?
That person...
Shhh!
- What are you doing?- I just saw a suspicious person.
She kept asking about Happy Living Number One. And I saw her give money to a resident!
Suspicious person?
What are you doing being all secretive?
Ms. Tao!
Ms. Tao, I'm sorry. I thought you were someone suspicious.
Do I look like a bad person?
Of course not. Sorry. Sorry.
Ms. Tao,
Because Xiao Qian is
the manager, she wants to protect this place.
So she's wary of all suspicious persons.
Suspicious person?
Of course you aren't. Let me put it this way.
Isn't having such a
dutiful manager reassuring?
I was thinking of endorsing this place, so I came to take a look.
You should know
I take my endorsements very seriously.
Everyone will want to come here because they trust me.
I have a responsibility to them, so naturally I wanted to come look around
and see if this place is as great as you say.
I really admire your attitude.
Sincere and earnest. You could say it's
being a model celebrity. Isn't that so, Xiao Qian?
Yes! The products you endorse must be great and trustworthy.
If Happy Living Number One could get your endorsement,
it would be such an honor!
Yes! An honor!
Exactly!
Ms. Tao,
if you wanted to come, you could have just told me.
Tell you?
What would I do if you tried to trick me?
Impossible! We've never lied, we're for real.
- Furthermore, our arsenal is real.- Arsenal?
Real..real...
Xu Dai, you mean we're authentic?
Yes, yes. We are authentic.
From what I can see, you really are authentic.
I see those photos were taken on-site.
You didn't use 3D or any special effects.
As for the manager,
you're just passable.
So, Ms. Tao, you mean...
I'll do it. And I agree to your plan of
a trial stay.
That's great! Let's sign a contract right away.
There's one thing you don't have to worry about.
I've always been upfront with the money.
I don't need money.
No money?
Then what do you want?
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
You don't want money?
Then what do you want?
Why are you looking at me like that?
- Vice President, she wants you. - Me?
No problem. You...you...
You just have to say one word.
I'll give it my all and spend all day and night with you.
I'm fine by myself. Why would I go and find an old man to come annoy me?
Oh, it's not me?
Did I not make myself clear?
Umm...clear?
Is it clear?
Then Ms. Tao, what are you looking for?
What I want is...
♫ Here, fluttering around in the air. ♫
♫ Isn’t it great? ♫
♫ Sliding down the rainbow. Hang on tight! ♫
♫ You & me. It’s just you & 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. ♫
♫ If I fall on my knees suddenly. And loudly ask, ♫
Mom, try this outfit on. It should look good on you.
This outfit?
Look at this.
This outfit!
This outfit...
doesn't seem to fit you as well
It won't look as good.
You're so weird. I haven't even tried it on and you say it will look bad. How is that possible?
Because the cut of this garment
just doesn't fit your body as well.
Stylists love showing off. Cut out, hmph.
I don't care, I want to wear it. No one can stop me.
♫ Even under water, ♫
♫ We can breathe. ♫
♫ If I fall on my knees suddenly. ♫
♫ And loudly ask... ♫
What do you think?
It looks good right?
It's not bad...
But...
The sleeves...
It's just a little long.
It's way too long.
Also, the hem of this dress
Should be above the knees.
And this layer is a bit long.
It might be hard for you to walk.
You're afraid I'll fall down?
You're saying my legs are short.
♫ I love you baby ♫
♫ The scenery is beautiful. ♫
♫ Watching shooting stars, If right now I suddenly ask ♫
You can't. You have to pull this higher.
- Too short. - No one wears it this low. You have to pull it up.
That's right. It's like that. See? Look at how pretty you are.
Just like that. See?
♫ ♫
Mom.
This chocolate cake is really delicious
and after you eat chocolate, you will be in a good mood.
It's that useful?
Actually, I'm not in a bad mood.
Today, you
purposely took me to get my hair done
and bought me so many clothes.
How could I not be in a good mood?
Wow, it's really pretty here and the view is great.
Son,
do I look funny dressed like this?
No way. Mom, you need to have faith in me.
And you need to have faith in yourself.
Women at every age can be beautiful.
I can still be beautiful?
Of course. Look at how beautiful and pretty you are.
But beauty
comes from the inside.
You change your outside. Now you have to practice and change your inside.
Stop doing things for others, live for yourself.
Alright.
I'll listen to you...
and live for myself.
You also need to listen to me.
- Listen to you?- Yes.
What?
You should move.
Move from someone else's home.
Come home to live.
Mom
I will move away,
but I don't plan on moving home.
Why?
Because I feel
it's a little awkward.
Awkward?
A family together is awkward?
Older brother is already married and has a family. I'm also rarely at home.
Living together with sister-in-law... feels a bit restraining.
How can that be?
Also, my work hours are not fixed.
There are times where I come home very late.
You've seen it, every time I come home, I disturb you.
I feel bad.
All moms are like this.
If your son hasn't come home yet, who wouldn't worry?
You even take this to heart?
You worry about me and of course I worry about you.
Every time I come home and disturb you. How could I not take it to heart?
Especially
because I love you so much.
- But...- Mom,
you don't need to worry about me.
I am used to living alone. I will take care of myself.
Then what about last time?
Last time that allergic reaction was an accident. It doesn't count.
Alright, mom.
I know you don't want me to live outside because you will think of me.
How about this. I promise you
although I am not moving home, every week
I will see you for a meal. Alright?
Every week?
- Are you telling the truth?- Yes.
Every week I will take you out to a yummy restaurant
Like Japanese food
or spaghetti. Whatever you want.
It's just to eat a meal. We don't need to go out.
- If you want to eat, I'll cook.- Mom.
You've spent half your life taking care of us
So now, you need to care for yourself more.
Love yourself more.
Enjoy more for yourself.
Stop thinking of taking care of me
or taking care of older brother and his family
But...
If you are all fine, then I'm fine.
So... It's the same for you.
As long as you're fine, we will all be fine too.
Alright.
You want me to love myself more.
Yes.
I love.
Yes.
Do you know how you're going to love?
I will
- Will?- I want...
Want...you don't know what you want?
Let me, your son, teach you.
The first step to loving yourself
is to calm your heart and think carefully,
What kind of life do you want to live?

I want to make a documentary
Huh? Documentary?
That's right. I want to make a documentary.
So if you want my endorsement, you have to help me film the documentary.
And you have to become a member of my team. How about it?
What is the theme of your documentary?
Theme?
Existence
Existence?
Existence? Oh!
I get it.
"I think therefore I am."
Cartesdes, right?
Xu Dong, isn't it Descartes? Not Cartesdes.
Forget it, I don't know him anyway.
That is...Ms. Tao.
It's a very profound topic. How did you think of it?
You really have a unique perspective.
I'm a person with a reputation.
What kind of existence do I have in the hearts of the masses?
I really want to find out.
I don't know about others.
But in my heart, you're definitely
the only one, the only one.
Alright then, do you agree?
Of course! I support you heart and muscle!
Then, Ms. Tao, do you know when you want to
begin the trial stay?
Anytime is fine.
Great! I'll look online for an auspicious day.
- Should I tell you my birth date and time to make it easier?- Sure!
I'm kidding. Then,
tell me when you want to move in. I'll send someone to help you.
Ok.
I'll contact you about moving over.
Alright. Thank you, Ms. Tao.
With your endorsement, Happy Living Number One will definitely become popular.
Not surely, absolutely!
- Xiao Quan! - Wah! What are you doing?
The case that got snatched away
It came back to me
Congratulations.
Stop it. Don't think I don't know that you were behind it.
What are you talking about?
Don't pretend.
You secretly went to them and even helped them with it.
And took back this case.
This guy...
If the owner didn't tell me, I would have been fooled by you!
Hey! What? It's painful!
Alright. It's not a big deal.
Oh right. How was your mom today?
My mom?
She said there's nothing wrong.
But I think there is.
But if he doesn't want to say, I can't do much. I will just play along.
But, he is finally listening to my advise.
And I'll catch him.
He finally saw the light. To let you torture him.
What do you mean torture?
Who am I? In the styling world
I'm the God, Gao Ding Ya.
I'll definitely make him look 18 again.
That's not bad. Gao Ding Ya is the best.
Are you bootlicking?
Hey hey! Alright, stop it.
- Go open the door. - Who is it?
I don't know, go open it.
Hey?
Maybe it is...
- Hey! - Hello
- Hey! - I got it!
Tao Xiu Qiong promised to be the ambassador and even wants to experience it herself!
What did you say?
Did you say Tao Xiu Qiong is coming to stay as a trial?
I'm gonna leech on you.
I want to be Tao Xiu Qiong's neighbour!
Not just neighbors but possibly co-workers too.
Co-workers?
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Not just neighbors but also maybe co-workers.
Co-workers?
She is planning to make a documentary.
Documentary?
- Didn't you say- - You're saying...
I can become... The goddess Xiu Qiong's stylist?
If you are picked...
Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely get picked.
Isn't that right? As long as we work together, we'll be able to get this chance. Right, partner?
Then you have to look at what they're looking for.
Absolutely. Definitely. It will be me.
Thank you! Thank you for telling me.
Hey... Alright... Let go.
Don't scare her.
I'm just really happy.
- Sorry. My friend is just like this. -It's alright!
But you really have to actively fight for this opportunity.
President Xu said he would fully support it. Money isn't a problem.
The question is what kind of documentary is she doing?
If it's just to brag about her achievements, then I don't want it.
No, no, no. She said she wanted one... about existing!
Existing! Existence!
This kind of abstract yet powerful theme...
Isn't it our Mr. He Xiao Quan's expertise and favorite?
Sorry.
Hello, hubby. I'm good.
- OK. Bye!- Alright.
Are you really busy? Did you eat yet?
You have to eat!
How great! Do you think that we'll have cookies tomorrow morning?
Seeing that she's so happy,
it will probably be a cake.
Cake?
- Bad mood she bakes cookies, good mood she bakes a cake?- Yes.
You understand her so well. You really are her ex.
Huh?
Old friends. Old friends, okay?
Don't mind me. Just pretend what I'm saying is crap.
I've always acted as though what you were saying was crap.
You... Alright. I'm not going to argue with you.
Hey, I'm saying
if we can get Xiu Qiong's approval, we should first get to know her taste.
In this world, no one understands her more than me.
So you have to focus and listen carefully to everything I say from now on.
I'm trying to be serious, and you're reading a magazine!
- It's not a magazine.- Focus! Focus! Okay?
- Okay.- Number 1, she is a goddess with a lot of character.
- What about number 2?- I'm not done talking.
She's like Taiwan's Audrey Hepburn.
Then the contract will be in effect starting from today.
I'm looking forward to your theatre troupe's future performances.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity. We will do our best.
May we have a pleasant collaboration.
Thank you.
Gao Ding Ya, you're going to hang onto me, huh?
Morning.
Ah...
I... I'll clean it up later.
It's okay.
I will try and get use to this.
Huh?
What are you doing here?
Didn't Executive Assistant Huang tell you?
I'm the theatre troupe's new director.
Director?
Your face doesn't have clues. Only I understand the feeling of sadness.
