♫ Love me, love me as I am ♫
♫ I'm just another man ♫
♫ I might be a little strange ♫
♫ But can you love me? ♫
♫ Love me anyway ♫
♫ Take me as I am cause lord knows ♫
♫ I could use a friend, love me ♫
♫ Love me, I'm just another man ♫
♫ I might be a little strange but can you love me? ♫
♫ Love me, take me as I am ♫
♫ Because we are friends ♫
♫ You argue and you fuss, being understanding... ♫
♫ No matter how annoying or painful it is, I will listen to you talk ♫
♫ I'm so lonely waiting by your side ♫
♫ Because you would too, you would do it for me ♫
Go withdraw all the money tomorrow.
If we work harder, we should be able to resolve this problem.
I'm really a loser.
Ye Zhen Zhen is my first friend from 1989.
You guys play a game with me.
Your fate will be determined by the game's results.
Constantly helping her resolve problems,
it's making my life here unexpectedly busy and exciting.
I heard that they're living together.
If they don't have a special relationship, who would be so dumb as to take on such a big responsibility?
She isn't your girlfriend?
Then this game doesn't count!
Actually, she is my girlfriend.
Chen Che, we're grateful that you helped our friend out.
We welcome you to our group "The Five Golden Treasures." You're welcome to join us.
I became friends with my mom's friends.
You play basketball very well. Who taught you? Your dad?
It's Grandma...
Don't you know that you'll implicate her from constantly hanging out together?
I'm fine. I'm a little allergic to dust.
Regarding my background,
the answer is probably amongst these people.
Don't be so nervous! It's not that serious.
Do you want something to drink? I'll get water for you first.
Master Ye!
Mr. Wang!
-How are you? -How are you?
Hi! Long time no see.
Do you need a suit made?
Not for me. My son is about to get married.
Oh... Congrats, congrats!
There is not a lot of time left until the wedding.
It's not a problem!
Even if there's only a little time left, I'll finish it even if I have to work overnight.
Okay... thank you so much!
-Mrs. Ye... thank you. Thank you! -Congrats, congrats!
Thanks, thanks!
Be careful when leaving!
Dad! Don't you still have orders you have to rush?
That's right.
You're already at this age, and you still want to work overnight for others?
You just sprained your waist last month. Aren't you worried that it'll start bothering you again?
Hi, how are you? I'm looking for Master Ye.
I'm sorry, but we're temporarily not taking anymore orders.
How are you? What type of service do you need?
Sorry for the interruption. I'm ScanLine magazine's chief-editor...
Bi Xing Zhang. I am hoping to do a report on Master Ye's suits.
May I ask if this is convenient for you?
Ah, yes... I'm Master Ye.
This is my business card.
Yes, yes, hello.
ScanLine magazine? Their covers all have famous celebrities on them!
Right, right!
But...I'm not a celebrity or an important figure...
Why would you ask for me?
Master Ye, you're too modest!
Whether it is texture or handwork, your shop does it with great detail.
We believe it is very worthy of becoming a report.
That's right! What you said is totally right!
Regarding texture and handwork,
our Master Ye's suits are really top-notch!
That's right! And may I ask if we're going to be shooting it with celebrities?
If the Little Tigers Band (famous Taiwanese band) can wear our suits,
it'll definitely be a killer!
Actually, we want to do it a bit differently this time.
Our theme is office workers...
so we're not planning on using celebrities.
Instead, we're hoping you guys can be on the lookout for any candidates that are fit to be a model.
Models?
That's right.
Why are you looking at me? Shouldn't they be looking for males?
Yeah, why are you looking at her? I make suits for men.
How will it look on her?
Oh... what are you guys thinking?
There is one that's ready-made at home.
And...Ye Zhen Zhen must be the one to ask.
Who? Ye Guo An?
No way!? Mom, you don't mean that Mr. Chen from upstairs, do you?
Ah, this is making my head hurt. But...Chen Che really does look good in suits.
For our business, I have to think of something to convince him.
The next song is...
the hit released by Chen Sheng this year...
"The Last Bit of Gentleness"
Dear listeners, is there anyone out there who is currently going through
an unforgettable romance like that described in the lyrics?
♫ Allow me to embrace you once more ♫
Ye Zhen Zhen, what are you doing?
Oh... I didn't see anything!
Why didn't you knock?
I...I did knock. Are you finished changing?
Close the window first!
Don't you know to knock before entering someone's room?
I'm sorry.
Why are you looking for me?
I have a small matter... that I want to ask for your help with.
At the restaurant, someone said that they wouldn't ask for help again.
What is it now? Going back on one's word after less than 48 hours?
There are some things you don't have to remember so clearly...
What is it?
Um... ScanLine magazine was looking for us...
And we hope you can wear our business's cool suits...
and have some pictures taken as a model.
Can you?
What I hate the most is... having my picture taken.
Sorry. I can't help you with this.
But my mom said to...!
Stingy guy!
Would you die if you help out? He doesn't cherish his friends...
I heard that.
Oh... it's Xiao Long.
If Chen Che won't do it, Xiao Long will work too.
Do you think you're the only one that is tall and has a good figure? Humph!
A model?
Yep.
As long as Ye Zhen Zhen says the word, I'll definitely come out to help no matter the difficulty.
Xiao Long, you're such a nice person!
Unlike that person that lives at my house.
"What I hate the most is having my picture taken."
"Sorry. I can't help you with this."
Humph! What is he being so swag for?
Since he doesn't bother giving you face, you should just tell him to move out.
But the room next door would be empty...
at least I can get some rent money.
-Next door? -Yep.
There's only one wall between you guys?
And the window. Whatever he listens to at night, I hear.
A window too? That's too dangerous.
Go... switch rooms with Guo An.
It's not that serious.
I actually think the one who should be worried is him.
Why?
Because I accidentally opened the window just earlier and saw him changing. How embarrassing!
Ye Zhen Zhen, you really are...
Alright, I'll be more cautious next time.
Shopkeeper, another bowl of tofu pudding please!
Um...you said that you saw him changing...
Then, which of us do you think has the better figure?
I've never even seen your figure. How can I compare?
But...he seems to have abs.
Here's your tofu pudding.
Thank you!
Alright! I've decided!
Starting from today, I have to lose weight and be fit so that I can be more "photogenic."
Once I'm done training, I'll immediately come out to show everyone!
Do your best!
Okay. I'm not eating this. It's all yours.
-For me?-Yes. -Yay!
Ya Juan, I have to go out to buy stuff. Remember to drink the chicken soup in the kitchen!
Alright...
Timing and subtitles brought to youby The Lovers From The Past @ Viki
Yep. I'll go over later. Yep. Bye.
Eh... why did you frantically make that call after you got paged? Who was it?
Oh, it was Ya Juan. She's sick.
Ya Juan is sick?
It sounds like it's just a cold, but I still want to go visit her.
Alright. Then hurry up and go. Remember to tell her to rest well for me.
But... I have a request to ask of you.
What is it? Go ahead and say it.
Um... can I... use your kitchen for a bit?
Why would that be a problem? Go ahead!
Thank you, Old Brother!
Here.
-Thank you -Be careful, it's hot.
What's wrong? How can you suddenly get sick when you were healthy before?
Oh, it's nothing. My neighbor's dog just had puppies.
So I wanted to bring over some blankets and food to them. But I didn't think that...
It seems like I caught a cold like that.
Chen Ya Juan, you really can't just stay still!
The one from before just found a home, and now you want to go help more puppies?
Alright. Then you have to get better soon.
Or else, how would you have energy to get the dogs so I can help them find a home?
Did you... really make this?
Hey... if I didn't cook the world's best ginger soup, did Fu Pei Mei (Chinese cook who appears on TV shows) make it instead?
I'll secretly tell you this.
This ginger soup came from Fu Pei Mei's teacher's...
teacher's... teacher's... teacher's...!
-Alright. -I learned it from there.
It can be called a 5-star rated ginger soup.
How come you're hurt again?
Did you cut yourself by accident because you didn't know how to slice ginger?
Didn't I tell you to protect your hands well? Why don't you listen?
Um...I—I want you to take care of your health and you didn't listen either.
This small wound is nothing, and it doesn't hurt. See?
Um...
As for you, you really do need to rest well.
After you finish the ginger soup, you should go get a good night's sleep.
And then go to work in the morning in good health, or else your girlfriend Ye Zhen Zhen
will be very lonely by herself at work.
Give me your hand for a second.
Extend your hand out.
Take good care of this.
Actually, I understand. When I used to receive love letters or gifts in the past,
my dad also made me get rid of it. Take good care of this necklace.
The thought has already been sent. Whether you wear it or not doesn't matter.
Drink your soup quickly! It's cooling down.

Ye Zhen Zhen is really naive. Asking me to be a model?
What kind of out-of-the-world thinking is that?
♫ Love me, love me as I am ♫
♫ I'm just another man. Because we are ♫
♫ friends ♫
Hello?
No, no, no! Ah there's no power.
Charger...
Why does it have to be now that there's no power left?
What? There aren't any new missed calls in the call log.
Still no signal.
The phone just rung. Have I connected with the future again?
Why is the time on the phone still stopped at the moment when I first arrived here?
What exactly is this?
It's fine if you just walk me up 'til here.
Thank you for
Fu Pei Mei's teacher's teacher's teacher's...
soup. It really is helpful. I feel a lot better already.
Good. It's good that you feel better. If you catch a cold in the future, you have to tell me first, okay?
I'll be responsible for cooking your soup.
Who wants to keep catching a cold?
Oh, I forgot to return this to you.
Oh...
Here.
Ya Juan...
I...
♫ To say sorry to me ♫
Hurry up and go rest. If you keep staying outside, how are you going to get better?
Go to rest early, drink lots of water, and remember not to stay up studying.
Alright... hurry and go rest!
♫ Just use the hand that you used to hold his ♫
♫ To wipe away my discouraged heart ♫
♫ Just use those lips that kissed him ♫
♫ To say goodbye to love ♫
♫ Please keep walking straight ♫
♫ Go with him without looking back ♫
♫ Even if the floor is filled with my broken pieces ♫
♫ Don't use the hand that you used to hold his ♫
♫ To wipe away the tears in my eyes ♫
♫ Don't use those lips that kissed him ♫

[Y&B]
[19:31 Friday, January 8]
Oh...you're going to go workout before going to work? Is there enough time?
Today's not Saturday. Why do we have to go to work?
There is no "two days rest" every week here.
"Two days rest every week?"
Is that "two days off every week?" Oh... these super salespeople...
It's great if we can close everyday, and you still want two days off? What a slacker.
In the future, this type of collective laziness will be legal in Taiwan.
Here you go again. You confidently say ridiculous things every time.
One day, you'll know that what I said is correct.
Okay, okay... it's you who's the most impressive.
But not everything has to pertain to you. As for the favor I asked for last time...
I still have a secret weapon.
Secret weapon?
Handsome.
What are you doing?! Why didn't you knock?
This isn't your house.
Why would I knock?
Why are you looking at that?
Trying to raise your standards?
- It's too late.- Hey.
What do you mean it's too late?
Since you're here, why don't you help me judge my poses?
Okay.
Ready?
I know this one! Popeye eating spinach.
No! Do you understand fashion or not?
- One more.- Alright. One more.
I've seen this before too!
I've really seen it before!
When I was younger, Lin Wang (TN: an Asian elephant that served in wars) showered in that position at the Taipei Zoo!
You're the one that's like Xiao Liang (TN: variety show host).
There's no point in asking you. It was a mistake.
Xiao Long. Do you want to become a model?
Ye Zhen Zhen's family's suit store is going to have a photo-shoot.
After I am on the magazine cover,
if you ask for an autograph, I will use my nostrils to reject you.
On a magazine?
Then you will become famous, Xiao Long.
Will you go onto the Wu Deng Jiang (TN: a variety show)?
You can become a celebrity.
When you're on TV, make sure to mention my name, okay?
- Okay. - Hey.
Why didn't Zhen Zhen ask Chen Che?
Chen Che is the number one handsome man at UDL.
Is there something wrong with your eyes?
Not talking about my biceps,
I am obviously more up to date with my fashion and looks.
Um, this... Chen Che's suit is a bit older looking...
But his pants should be more like ours, looser and more shapely.
However, his body is in good shape.
Good.
I have no interest in photo-shoots.
I'll leave it to you...Ye Zhen Zhen's secret weapon.
Oh, it's that Chen Che wasn't interested which is why she asked you.
So you're just Ye Zhen Zhen's back-up.
You will become famous.
Secret weapon?
Juan, Juan.
What?
Did you pull an all-nighter to study English?
No. I was just worried that my English isn't good enough.
So I need to work harder.
After work, I have to go to the library to borrow books to study English.
If you have problems with English, you can ask him.
He's from overseas.
His English must be really good.
Is it going to be too troublesome to you?
No. It won't be.
Ask me if you have any questions.
Use this cup of coffee to wake up more.
- Thank you. - You really treat people differently.
Whatever Ya Juan asks for, you immediately agree.
It's so bitter.
You drink coffee without adding anything?
Oh, yeah.
Coffee is suppose to have sugar and milk in it.
Who would drink coffee without sugar and milk?
It's so bitter.
Hey! Where are you going later?
Swimming.
Oh... I thought that you are now considered part of our Five Golden Treasure group.
Ya Juan said that she has something to tell us.
Do you want to go together?
Did something happen?
I don't know either.
Every time she says that, I always feel like something is up.
Ye Zhen Zhen, he already said that he going to go swimming.
Why are you trying to force someone to come?
Okay, I'll go.
Why are you going?
I think you should go swimming.
I suddenly changed my plans.
Polaris Folk Restaurant
It's...
My mom wants to invite you all to eat at our house.
Why does your mom suddenly want to invite us to eat at your house?
She said that I'm close to leaving
and wants to thank everyone for taking care of me.
She wanted to call you guys one by one so that it's more polite,
but I was afraid that you guys would feel awkward.
Why don't I tell my mom that you guys are all busy and that it's not convenient?
How is it no convenient?
If there's food, then we're going, right?
That's right. Don't worry.
We will all be there.
That's right. If more people go, then it's easier to gather up courage.
Lin Xiao Long! What are you saying?
Then I'll go too.
You really like to tag along.
Of course! New friends are definitely welcome.
Oh, it's my mom's call.
Can I borrow your phone?
No problem.
Timing and subtitles brought to youby The Lovers From The Past @ Viki
Why are you guys so nervous?
Because... if we're going to Ya Juan's place...
Regardless of if it's the clothes or the heart...
We all need to make preparations...
When Ya Juan was in college and had a birthday party
Ya Juan's mom asked everyone about their hobbies, interests, lifestyle, and family background.
I was more nervous at that time than for my college entrance exam.
When you go, make sure to watch her face,
and be careful of what you say.
- Oh.- But her mom probably won't do it again.
We have known Ya Juan for this long.
So she probably won't do it again...
This is the wax apple that my family planted.
It's big and sweet.
My mom said that if you like them, we can give you a few more boxes, no problem.
This is oranges, guava,
and my mom's pickled vegetables.
These are the products from my area.
Thank you, thank you.
Xiao Long, isn't this too much for us?
This is what I should do. Who visits someone and doesn't bring some gifts?
But we asked you to help us.
Because I am Zhen Zhen's best co-worker and friend.
Not to mention the photo-shoot. If you need me to cut down a mountain or go into a pot, I can do them all!
You don't need to say it that scarily.
I accept your intentions.
Xiao Long, after you graduated, you became more handsome.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No!
You have studied and work with our Zhen Zhen...
Let me ask you...
do you like our Zhen Zhen, even a little?
Uncle, Auntie, I will perform well for the photo-shoot!
Okay, okay, okay.
Xiao Long? Xiao Long! Hurry.
Okay!
Hurry. Mom, Dad, bye!
Uncle! Auntie! Good-bye!
Let's go. Mom, Dad, good-bye!
You guys are here.
Hi.
Hey. Hi.
Lin Xiao Long, relax. Don't be that tense.
You're that handsome and cool.
Girls are going to be charmed by you.
Let me tell you, the Little Tigers (TN: a boy group) is going to have a fourth member.
And it's going to be you.
Your name will be "dumb handsome tiger."
If you don't believe me, ask Ya Juan.
You really are handsome.
I am almost charmed by you.
Ya Juan is almost getting dizzy because of your handsomeness.
So you have to have confidence.
And when you wear my dad's suits...
Zhen Zhen, what are you looking for?
My dad's suits!
What do I do...?
My family will bring the suits over really soon.
Please wait a bit longer.
Ye Zhen Zhen.
It's here!
Thank you! This won't happen again.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Don't forget things at your house when there's no one there!
This gentleman...
He is...?
Oh, he's a tenant at my house.
I think... Can he model?
He is well suited your family's suits.
- Please...- No, no, no...
Any method that you are thinking of right now won't succeed.
I will not agree.
Chen Che!
Eh, Chen Che.
Just help Zhen Zhen.
It won't take too much of your time.
Just think of it as making a memory.
♫ Baby, I missed you so tonight ♫
♫ I still miss your love ♫
♫ This time I admit that I failed ♫♫ Come back to my love ♫
♫ Come back to my love, not here ♫
♫ Love me, love me as I am ♫
♫ I'm just another man ♫
♫ Because we are friends ♫
Are we finished yet?
Wow... it looks really good! It's the most popular hairstyle!
It's very similar to Noriyuki Higashiyama. How handsome!
Are you blind? How does this hairstyle suit me?
It looks better than your hairstyle from before.
I actually wanted to tell you earlier.
Your hairstyle is a bit old-fashioned and doesn't follow this generation's trend.
Do you want to consider parting your hair another way?
Look here. These models and Jin Qin all have central parting for their hair. See how good it looks!
It's not me who can't follow the trend. It's because there's a generation gap between us!
Alright... then I won't give you my opinion. You should communicate with the stylist then.
Sorry to trouble you. Thank you!
Change it back for me.

Seeing him like this, I think he must have practiced for a while at home.
It's strange. Why does he try so hard every time something is for Zhen Zhen?
Does he really?
♫ That frantic searching ♫
♫ No need to say anymore ♫
♫ What's wrong? ♫
♫ I love too much ♫
♫A journey spanning thousands of light years♫
If you don't close your mouth, you'll start drooling.
Chen Che, you really look good in suits!
Um... you... you're finished now.
Next person come on. It's your turn.
Wait... wait... photographer. I still have a pose I practiced!
It's very cool! Very cool! See for yourself.
Isn't it cool?
Yeah, it's quite cool.
Come on! Next person!
Alright, look here!
It's alright. You already took a lot of cool pictures before.
How about this? Why don't we go to the photo booth later to take some pictures?
Why?
You can use it when you go on blind dates!
He's hitting me, brother!
-Eh eh... what are you doing? -Wang Zhong En... you're still on his side?
Your expression is too stiff.
You can try to move around a bit more.
Um... photographer, sorry to interrupt.
Let me speak with him for a bit.
Please wait a second.
Do you really hate pictures that much?
Can't I just stand here for the pictures?
Since you can't seem to loosen up, I'll teach you a trick. Watch closely.
Ye Zhen Zhen, you're really something.
How is it? Is it okay?
Alright, no problem. Let's do it.
Hey, wait a second. Your hair is a bit out of place.
-Miss Ye, can you be in the photos as well? -Me?
I feel that Mr. Chen is more relaxed with you by his side.
If you are willing, our stylist team can help you get ready.
Xiao Jing, please work on her.
No, no! I'm... I'm not very good with pictures.
Miss, please come this way.
I'm... I'm really not good with pictures. I don't know how to pose.
Fell in love with you, this maybe a dream.
Fell in love with you with all your moves,
Fell in love with the future you,
I have thought it through.
You are the one that I am most familiar with,
Your gentleness,
Why are you looking at me like that?
Is something wrong with me?
No, it's nothing.
I didn't think... you'd look quite this good after dressing up.
You can't give me a chance,
Look here, we're going to start!
This is safe enough for us,
You guys can stand closer together.
Closer... don't be afraid... closer...
Miss, can you smile a bit for him?
Thinking about the time that I was in love,
Smile more naturally. More naturally...
Miss, your smile is so stiff. Can you smile more naturally?
But I just said that I'm...
Who said you could put your hand there?
Hey, don't be impulsive!
Your idol doesn't fight people either.
-They're just doing a photo shoot. -Calm down you guys!
Just think about this one thing for now.
We... are just supporting characters.
Your dad's suits are the main leads.
Very good!
Day by day I have fallen for you,
Day by day I have been thinking of you.
Time will prove to us,
that it is the only thing,
You and we, we no longer have to doubt,
you and me, let me love you.
Good. Just one more!
Good! We're finished!
Thank you everyone for today! Thanks!
Thank you!
No... more... next... time!
-Chief Editor Zhang. -Yes?
Sorry to trouble you. From our group of friends, there is one person who is going to go abroad.
Can we ask the photographer to take a keepsake photo for us?
Okay! Come over here then.
Thank you! Thank you!
-Come on guys... -This is awesome!
Juan!
Hurry, hurry!
Come on, look this way! 1... 2...
Sorry... please wait! We're still missing one person.
Chen Che!
Yeah, Chen Che! Come and get in the picture!
Yeah, come on, Chen Che!
Come join us, Chen Che!
Chen Che, come on!
Here... stand over here.
I'll let you take this spot!
Alright, get ready!
Be lively everyone! Do some poses.
Okay! 1... 2... 3...
Yeah!
These are quite natural!
My goodness! When were these taken? Luckily they weren't put in the magazine.
See, that's what I said before! Brother Che looks the most handsome!
The suits! Suits!
The main point is that the suits made by my family made him handsome.
Anyways, I have fallen for him.
Ye Zhen Zhen, there really isn't anything between you two right?
Then I'll let him be... my courtier!
There really isn't anything between us.
Rather than being "Whispering Xiao Qing," I think you seem more like an old witch! Liking whoever you see...
Hey Xiao Long, your picture! But why is it so small?
-This? -It's small... it's really cute!
Don't go overboard guys! I don't know if I should send this magazine to my mom if you guys are like this.
You can still send it.
Hey! What are you guys laughing at?
Xiao Long actually did pretty well at the photo shoot. It's just that... it probably wasn't exactly what the magazine was looking for.
In short, it seems that Xiao Long isn't fated to become a model.
Just do your job as a salesperson well!
Ah... Trouble Jian is here! Let's get back to our places!
Oh... oh... oh...
"Living alone isn't actually too bad."
"There is sorrow only once in a while."
"I think others can't even tell..."
Ye Zhen Zhen, you are pretty photogenic!
How can you be this cute?
You look a little like Noriko Sakai (Japanese singer)!
This Chen Che... why is his face so big?
And there's this pose! It's so weird!
Is this what's popular abroad? Tsk... tsk... tsk...
It's so unfashionable.
And this hairstyle! It's what old people usually have.
I really don't know what hair spray he uses.
It's always so neat.
Why would he be angry when I was just telling him a central part would look good on him?
He clearly looks really good when he smiles, so why does he love being angry?
Timing and subtitles brought to youby The Lovers From The Past @ Viki
Chen Che!
Ye Zhen Zhen. You're listening to music and reading a magazine, right?
Everyone in the entire building can hear you talking.
Heard me... then did you guys all hear me say that when he smiles, he looks good?
Yes. And we all heard you say that you think you're like Noriko Sakai.
How can you eavesdrop on me?
It's your face that's big.
I am going to go to Grandma's place. Don't know if Grandpa is going to be there.
Ye Zhen Zhen. Are you ready yet?
I'm coming. I'm coming.
What's wrong with you?
I...I am nervous to the point that my stomach hurts.
What are you doing?
Giving your hand short circular massages 36 times.
By doing this, you will be better.
Who taught you that?
My mom.
Hey. Massage this hand too.
We're almost late. If you don't leave, I'm going to go first.
Massage it yourself as we leave.
Meanie.
Why isn't Li Jin Qin here yet? Is he not going to come?
He's coming, right?
Sorry. I went to buy presents (TN: visitation presents for relatives).
You brought presents too? Zhong En did too.
Oh.
It's okay. You both can gift the presents. Good things come in pairs.
Let's go in. I'll press the doorbell.
Okay.
This one is for you. Ye Zhen Zhen, here's yours.
Thank you.
- Xiao Long, hurry.- Okay.
So this is where Mom used to live.
They are my family members.
Mom! The guests are here.
I'm coming. Everyone's here?
Hello, Auntie.
Hello. Don't keep standing. Come on in and take a seat.
Auntie, thank you for your invitation. This is a small token of appreciation from everyone.
This is from everyone.
You even brought a present? You are too polite.
This is a swallow's nest. It must have been expensive.
As long as you like it.
As long as it's from everyone, I will definitely like it.
- Auntie—- Aiya. We shouldn't just keep talking. The dishes are getting cold. Everyone, take a seat.
Mom. Jin Qin, he—
You help too. Come, everyone, come.
Auntie, I'll come help!
Ya Juan!
I'm coming.
♫ Baby, I missed you so tonight ♫♫ I still miss your love ♫
♫ This time I admit that I failed ♫♫ Come back to my love ♫
♫ Love me, love me as I am ♫
♫ I'm just another man ♫
♫ Because we are friends ♫
Here. We can start eating now. Why is everyone standing? Please take a seat.
Take a seat. We can eat now. Everyone, please sit.
Treat this as your own house. Don't need to be so polite and formal.
Pick up your chopsticks. We can start eating now. Eat as much as you want.
Auntie, did you make all of these dishes? Wow. That's admirable.
That's right. This table of food is more sumptuous than my family's table during New Years!
These are all homemade dishes. I'm not sure if they suit your taste buds. Don't be polite and eat as much as you want.
Zhen Zhen, you might have to reach farther to get food.
Okay.
Right... is Uncle Chen not home yet?
Yeah. He was going to eat with us.
But his schedule overseas has some delays so he is unable to make it.
Zhong En, this is the Shaoxing chicken I made. Try some.
Thank you, Auntie.
Here.
Thank you.
Here, Zhen Zhen.
Thank you, Auntie.
- Xiao Long.- Thank you, Auntie.
Jin Qin. The chicken my mom made is good. Try some.
Thank you.
This is really good. It's better than the ones sold outside.
These taste just like the ones my mom makes.
Your mother knows how to make Shaoxing chicken?
Yeah. But she only makes it during New Years.
She normally cooks the chicken first. And then she will soak it in ice.
That way the chicken will be more tender. The ones sold outside tend to miss this step.
So this is where the difference lies.
Sounds like you have an appreciation towards food.
So Mom's skills are from Grandma.
Auntie, you used old Shaoxing wine, right? The method used to make the dish may not sound hard at first,
but the wine's quality is the key component of the dish.
Zhong En doesn't disappoint. Having a restaurant means that you will have an appreciation for foods.
Thank you, Auntie.
Here, eat more.
Thank you, Auntie.
Zhen Zhen, Xiao Long. Have you guys been well recently?
Yes. Very well.
Jin Qin, I know that you are studying and working part-time.
What are your plans after you graduate from graduate school?
Oh. I have some plans, but because I am not sure when I'm going to graduate so...
Then that means that you don't have plans for the future.
I even heard that you have been popular since college. Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Well, you guys aren't that young anymore.
If your family economic situation isn't good, you should still have some foundations to start a family.
For example, having a saving account and a stable job. At least you should have plans for the future.
Other wise won;t the girl that stay by your side have a hard time?
I invited everyone to come eat to thank everyone
for taking care of our Ya Juan
and to ask everyone for a favor.
After Ya Juan receives the notification from the school, she will get ready to study abroad in America.
During this time period, other than her undergraduate classes, she also needs to improve her English.
Sometimes, she will go out right after she receives a phone call from you guys, no matter how much I persuade her not to.
But she also needs to work during the day. So when will she have time to study?
Auntie, Ya Juan went out with me that time.
She was worried about me entertaining.
What about the other times? She had many night outings. It wasn't with you, right?
Truly good friends will think for the others.
I believe that you are all Ya Juan's good friends.
I will ask this of everyone.
Okay.
Did Mom always live under this pressure from Grandma?
Is this why she was never happy?
Zhong En, the present was picked by you, right? Thank you.
You're welcome. Auntie, don't say it like that.
You all remember to say hello to your families for me, okay?
Okay, for sure.
Everyone is welcome to come again.
Thank you, Auntie.
Mom, I will go send them off.
I still have a lot of bowls and plates that I need your help with.
Then we won't be sending you all off them. Good-bye.
Good-bye, Auntie.
Good-bye. Be safe.
Good-bye.
Good-bye, Auntie.
Scared me to death.
Hey. Let's go some sweet food. What do you guys want to eat?
- Let's go eat tofu pudding!- Okay!
Let's go.
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
Let's go.
We're not lacking mushrooms at home. Li Jin Qin was the one who gave this, right?
Give this to someone else.
Mom, why are you being like this?
What's wrong with me?
We're all good friends, but why are you only so cold toward Jin Qin?
You're embarrassing him.
I am? I'm just stating the facts.
If he's really embarrassed, then indeed, he's inferior compared to the rest. Am I supposed to be blamed?
Nobody can choose their family background.
How can you despise his poor family background?
He's already doing his best, working and studying part-time, just so that he's able to obtain good qualifications.
Isn't this what Dad and you taught me and wanted me to do?
Why are you treating him differently?
I'm not deliberately treating him differently.
Just like how I'm not treating Zhen Zhen and Xiao Long very nicely either.
Rather, I'd like to ask you.
Why are you quarreling with me over him?
Is he of any special significance to you, or... do you have special feelings for him?
Mom! I'm just confining the matter to where it stands.
Why must you always go off-topic?
If you're really just trying to confine the matter to where it stands, I'll be honest with you then.
Zhong En's qualifications are much better than Li Jin Qin's, but you're choosing a man who can't give you a stable life.
Ya Juan.
You're not lacking. You have so many choices right before you.
I don't want you to choose the rocky path.
Since I was young,
in order to oblige to your standards, I've been having a hard time.
But you're not even satisfied with me.
I think... in your eyes, nobody is good enough.
I really don't want to live under the same roof with my mother anymore.
Thank you. You even specially came out to keep me accompanied.
Why are you thanking me, silly?
Did you tell Jin Qin you're meeting David?
No. Anyway, I'm meeting him because of my mother.
Is David that outstanding?
I heard he's a refined man, and he is a student studying in America.
A refined man?
Then he's quite similar to Old Brother.
So your mom likes men of this style?
No wonder she was so nice toward Old Brother this afternoon.
If you don't want to be entangled in so many troubles, do you perhaps want to consider Old Brother?
What are you talking about? Love isn't based on reasons like this.
I don't know what should I do either.
Alright, enough about me.
Don't you think Chen Che treats you very differently?
♫ Love me, love me as I am ♫
♫ I'm just another man ♫
♫ Because we are friends ♫
Don't you think Chen Che treats you very differently?
No! He doesn't.
You guys look like a real couple with the facial expressions in the photo. It's undeniable.
Photos tell the biggest lie. We're always quarreling all day. It's already good enough that we're not enemies, let alone being an item.
Moreover, he's so polite to everyone, but he only bullies me.
That means you're special!
When you're in trouble, although he said he's not going to help you,
he'd still lent you a hand in the end.
That's right.
Will you think of what he's doing when you're bored?
When you're angry or happy, you'll naturally think of him.
Yes.
That's it. You're about to fall in love.
No!
Being in love is like catching a cold.
Once you sense it, things are going to get serious.
You better be that knowledgeable! I'm going to ignore you and listen to my music.
I want to listen, too. Give me the other side.
- Give me the other side! - Alright.
Here.
Take this.
♫ You said, you fell in love with the wrong person ♫
♫ Your heart is full of wounds ♫
♫ You said, you made a mistake you shouldn't have ♫
♫ Your heart is full of regrets and hatred ♫
♫ You said, you've been through the hardships in life ♫
♫ You can't find someone to trust ♫
♫ You said, you felt extremely devastated ♫
♫ And you even began to doubt life ♫
What are your plans after graduation?
Oh, I have some plans, but I'm still unsure when I'll be graduating, so...
That means you still do not have any plans for your future, right?
You need to at least plan for your future.
Otherwise your girl will have to suffer.
♫ Every time I wake up from a dream ♫♫ There are some things you don't have to ask ♫
♫ and there are some people you don't have to wait ♫
Is Ya Juan okay?
Her mood is somewhat affected.
But I'm not surprised.
The moment Ya Juan's mother unleashes her powers, we, Five Golden Treasures,
will start swaying in a storm.
Hello?
Ye Guo An, it's raining outside now. Why are you still not back yet?
Oh, Dad and Mom went to the north side to visit Granny Shen. They won't be coming back today.
Hey, how can you do that?! You clearly know I'm afraid of thunder!
You should come back. You have to come back.
Hey, Ye Guo An!
Ye Guo An!
Great, Ye Guo An. You're spending the night outside because Mom is not at home.
When Mom comes back, I'm going to complain to her!
Let's watch TV.
Men love to do funny things when they have the chance.
Ming Zhu, you don't have to make me sound so bad.
Am I that sort of person? I'm also a gentleman.
You go first.
Okay.
Right now... only the both of us are at home.
Well... it's getting late.
I'm going to bed.
It's getting late?
Besides watching TV in 1989, what else can I do to kill time?
It's so miserable living without wi-fi!
It can't be. That unlucky ghost, Ye Zhen Zhen, hit the mark.
Ye Zhen Zhen.
Ye Zhen Zhen?
Are you okay?
Enough of the thunder, please.
Oh, you're afraid of thunder?
Are you a kid?
I'm not a kid!
Hey, don't be like this. It doesn't suit your appearance.
A glutton who's afraid of thunder.
Power failure! What should I do? It's so dark.
Don't be afraid. I'll go get a candle from the living room.
Hey, wait! Don't leave me alone.
♫ To you... ♫
♫ I don't know if I've grown accustomed ♫
♫ or it's love ♫
- Hey, Chen Che!- Chen Che, what's wrong?!
Thank you, Mom.

Two People - Alien Huang
♫ How sincere is the acting ♫
♫ when a nonsensical play is broadcasted? ♫
♫ I love you. Who do you love? ♫
♫ Isn't this like a tragedy trying to make people laugh? ♫
♫ Who wrote the script? ♫
♫ What kind of absurd life is this? ♫
♫ You turned around into his embrace ♫
♫ There is only me left alone ♫
♫ Why is it that these two imperfect people ♫
♫ work hard to make the other shine brighter? ♫
♫ The kiss we had when we were acting was really cruel ♫
♫ Everyone else can be serious, but I can't ♫
♫ She couldn't act out the next scene ♫
♫ so the scene is missing the female lead ♫
♫ The beauty of the behind-the-stage scene, the past, and the process ♫
♫ I can't forget them even after the play has ended ♫
