Xiao Kang, you're finally here!
Director Xu has been standing there for a long time. I told her to come rest, but she didn't want to.
She said that she'll stop when you say it's okay.
If I wasn't afraid she would get heatstroke, I wouldn't ask you to come.
Go eat the pizza first.
Oh...
Actively pursuing your performance is a good thing, but you need to mind your physical limits too.
Alright, you've improved. Your acting isn't too bad.
You have at least demonstrated the toughness of a tree.
You're...
Are you telling the truth?
Like I said, I was made for this path.
Drink some hot soup first. Then you can eat some pizza.
Corn chowder soup?
What? Do you not like it?
I like it a lot. I really like it a lot.
Thank you.
What's wrong?
Don't you like it?
The second time.
Huh?
You feeding me.
♫ Let something unexpected happen ♫
It's because your hands are too tired and you can't lift them.
♫ You want me to be good, very good ♫
♫ I'm captivated by your odd strut ♫
Woah!
♫ I'll admit it ♫
Silly girl, this is the guy that's been picking on you
and you still dare to eat this food?
And let him feed you?
♫ I really want to be in love ♫
♫ Didn’t think I’d be more and more dazed ♫
♫ I deserve to be dazed ♫
♫ Naturally clumsy and a natural disaster ♫
♫ I just want to be in love ♫
♫ In the end falling head first ♫
Why do you keep looking at me?
♫ Thinking I’m a genius♫
Actually, you seem like a good person.
You are very caring.
♫ The goddess is cutely lazy ♫
♫ Her ups and downs are just too cute ♫
Are you done? You dare to touch my daughter's lips?
♫ Why get to the point of a showdown? ♫
♫ Why don't we just forget it? ♫
You're touching... for so long!
Are you not done wiping it off?
♫ I don't want love for love ♫
I'm done. Uh... That...
Your hands aren't tired anymore right? You've rested quite a while.
Here, hold it yourself and drink.
Uh, I... I still have to work. I'm leaving now.
♫ Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Hello?
You're not being good and waiting at the clinic. So, where did you run off to play?
How do you know that I'm not at the clinic?
Have you forgotten that I placed informant Zi Zi in your clinic?
Don't eat this, it looks like leftover food.
I've prepared something else for you.
You know what I like to eat?
I promise you'll like it.
What if I don't?
You can behead me, if you don't like it.
To thank you for helping me with today's performance, I've prepared a surprise for you.
What is this? It isn't a horror box to play tricks on people, right?
You'll know once you open it.
Ah! These are...
I asked a friend to help me prepare this, each one is a classic.
What do you think? Isn't it beautiful enough to eat?
You can keep your head on top of your neck.
Thank you, my Queen, for your kindness and sparing my life.
Move it over.
- What now?- You're going to start reading?
Shouldn't we use this time to learn about each other?
We've already kissed, what more do you want to learn?
When did we kiss? I had a protective measure in place.
We really should get to know each other...
Such as, what do you like, what do I like.
Establish an understanding of love, to avoid my mom from discovering the truth.
It's impossible.
Hey, you pretending to be my girlfriend requires some professionalism too. In case my mom finds out...
It's impossible! I won't let Mama Gao find out.
- Really?- Really.
So now can I return to my BL world?
You're reading it too?
I'm curious now.
After hearing it from my friend, I just found out that your world is quite interesting.
Such as?
Such as, that many BL fangirls are actually quite beautiful.
You aren't planning to get your evil hands into our world, right?
What evil hand? You say it in such a terrible way.
It's in case we have an opportunity to get to know each other in the future, there will be a common topic to talk about.
I'm not talking to you, I'm going to read my manga.
Do you want to read this one first? I hear that this one is out of print.
There was a reprint of that series 3 years ago.
You know this already?
I always pay attention to these publications.
Hey, can look away from your manga for a bit, and look at me?
There's so many I can't finish them all at once. Can I take them home to read?
Of course! As long as our mutually beneficial relationship continues,
I can leave all these manga books at your place.
You can read as long as you want.
Hey, I'm talking now. Can you look at me? You're being rude.
If you keep making noise, I'll destroy you.
How did it turn out like this? Treats the manga one way, and treats me in another.
- Welcome. - Hi, Boss lady.
Hi, Man Man. You came.
You look so young today.
No, what youthfulness? My son Ding Ya just styled my hair for me.
It's very pretty.
Thank you. Oh right, I'm here today because I need your help.
Look, these are some of my old jewelry.
I want to get it remade into a necklace.
I want one for a girl to wear.
Is Ding Ya getting married?
Congratulations!
No. Not that soon.
I would just like to first give his girlfriend a gift.
Hmm...
You look really happy. That girl must be good.
Right. She's really good.
Ai yo, I didn't know that my son, Ding Ya's
taste is so good. That he could pick such a girlfriend.
Did you know, that girl is a doctor?
If they get married and she is a part of our family,
then I will be a mother-in-law of a doctor.
- You have such a good attitude. Yes. - Really?
I have a phone call.
Oh, Ding Yu.
Hello?
Mom, just now the department store called.
They said that from the raffle we entered last time,
your name was picked for the grand prize.
Really?
My son said, that from the raffle we entered last time, I won the grand prize!
Ai yo, congratulations!
Thank you. Thank you.
Hey, Ding Yu, what is the prize?
It's a 3 day 2 night East Valley Rift tour.
3 day 2 night East Valley Rift tour.
Great!
They also said that you can bring a family member.
I was thinking why don't you take Wei Wei with you?
Of course, that's great.
Ai yo, son...
Today, I've come across some good luck, good things are coming one after another.
When do I leave?
The day after tomorrow.
- Oh, that soon?- Yes.
Then I better go home quickly
and pack.
Then mom, that's it for now.
Alright. Bye.
Man Man...
You really have a good life.
Just like your name, Man Man. Full of good fortune.
Your older son is sending you on the East Rift Valley trip.
Your younger son is giving you a makeover.
- You really know how to talk. - I do not.
What do you mean, no. You're a smooth talker.
Hearing you say that, I do feel...
my name was given pretty well.
Ai yo, thinking of my two sons
I feel like I have been successful.
They really are great.
I'm really satisfied.
Yes... We just keep chatting. About this item I'm going to ask you for help.
When you're making the necklace, please make sure that
it's more fashionable and high quality.
Because she's a doctor. A doctor's taste is very high.
They are very picky.
Don't worry. I will definitely pick one that is
the best style for you!
- Do you want to look at anything else? - Okay.
I'll take a look but I have to leave soon to go home and pack.
Then I'll just take a look.
When they get married, I can buy that.
You're already thinking that far ahead?
That's right. When you get married and wear a white dress, the pearls would look nice.
Weird. When did she get so close to Director He's younger brother?
Is it because she's reached the age to be married?
Be careful!
Are you okay?
Sneaky!
Boss!

Be careful!
Are you okay?
Sneaky!
Boss!
I'm sorry.
I was thinking too much about my daughter that I didn't see you come out of the store.
You're not hurt are you?
I'm okay. I...
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I just heard you mention that you were
thinking about your daughter?
Yes.
I'm also a parent.
Right now the kids have their own minds.
Kids have their own blessings.
We should just fulfill our duty.
Don't think too much.
Older sister.
Will you talk to me?
Me...talk to you?
Yes, yes... Your one sentence already described
what I'm thinking and feeling into words.
You simply are the roundworm in my stomach. (You read my mind)
Huh? What kind of bug?
No, no... I mean an understanding friend.
I beg you. Please talk to me.
I don't even know you, why would I talk to you?
Please.
I don't want to.
I beg you.
Please.
I saw
my daughter acting cute with the boy she claimed to hate. I could only think...
It's over.
How is that hate? It's definitely like.
You know that kind of like
where you keep picking on the person you like?
- You know that?- I know. You mean
hitting is a sign of affection, cursing is a sign of love. (Tough Love)
That's right. Just like that. My daughter...
Aiyo...
No wonder people say women say the opposite of what they mean.
She clearly likes him but says she hates him.
Thinking about it now, she often tells me
that she likes me. Doesn't that mean she hates me?
Aren't you overthinking this?
Even though I have two sons,
but I hear daughters are very good at acting cute, especially towards their fathers.
Saying she likes her own dad is very normal.
I'm just very concerned about her. I'm worried she will get hurt.
But she doesn't even appreciate it.
And said that I'm too nosy and even got mad at me.
I love her dearly.
It's just a performance.
Why does she have to tire herself like that?
And she even got her two arms covered in red bites.
I feel distressed.
She is my precious baby.
Listening to you talk,
it sounds like you really care for your daughter.
She's more important than my own life.
But my daughter,
she hurts my heart.
People say...
If your child hurts your heart,
then you just need to think about
when she was young, learning how to walk,
how cute she was,
and the how happy you were the first time she called you Daddy.
She was so cute.
Looking at her face,
her cheeks were so red that she looked like an apple.
That's right. Just think of these things.
Think of her cute self,
and think of that time...
the happy feeling.
Whatever you have, don't have, or unhappy things, it doesn't seem so important anymore.
That's right.
It's not, not important!
For my daughter, I have watched her put herself out there.
What do you mean "put herself out there"?
When a daughter gets married, it's like water being thrown out.
My pretty daughter, that I have attentively cared for 23 years...
I can't bear to let go...
How can this dad be so stupid? Isn't this is over exaggerated.
What did you say?
Oh no. He understands Taiwanese.
Nothing. Nothing.
Here. Here.
A grown man crying looks bad. Wipe your tears.
Thanks.
No problem.
I'm sorry, letting you see this joke.
It's nothing.
You don't need to
start worrying so early.
You're daughter is only 23 years old.
This generation of young people don't get married that early.
No, you don't know my daughter.
She will do whatever it is she wants. Once she sets her heart something, she will get it.
10 cars won't be able to stop her.
Aren't you just finding problems for yourself?
If one day she suddenly tells me she wants to get married,
I know I can't stop it.
But I don't want this type of son in law.
The son in law needs to at least be my height. As intelligent and as formidable as me.
What does starting a theatrical troupe offer?
Can you feed my daughter? Can you protect her?
Can you take over my business?
I don't know why she would like someone like him.
Finding someone who has more to offer would be better.
Aiya, have mercy.
Please have some tea. Boss, please have some tea.
Thank you.
Young person, you have good manners.
Thank you, Da Jie.
My apologies. It's the first time meeting you and I spilled my heart out to you.
I really could no longer resist.
My daughter is my only family.
I don't want anyone to take her away from me.
I understand your feelings.
You wanted to say what was in your heart,
but didn't have the opportunity. And I
want to talk, but no one listens. So you're just like me.
But I'd like to tell you,
don't be afraid of yourself.
Perhaps your daughter doesn't actually like this theatre troupe leader.
Perhaps from her performance she received
his affirmation, that's why she has a friendly relationship with the leader.
- Yes, that's a possibility. - Yes.
So am I overthinking it?
I really couldn't help it.
My daughter is my only family.
I don't want anyone taking her away from me.
You shouldn't say "take".
When daughters is grown, she will need to married.
Uh... Let's look at it from a different angle.
One day, when she's getting married, you should think
she has found you a son-in-law to accompany you to play ball, and drink.
Isn't that good?
- Bring home a son-in-law? - Yes.
Big Sister, with your words you have awakened the sleeping.
- I just need to find a guy who is compatible with my daughter. - Yes.
And have him to marry into my family.
Oh no, I...
Thank you, Da Jie.
Thank you.
I can't believe that even though we meet by chance that we would have so much to talk about.
Here's my card.
If one day
you need help, don't be polite, call me.
I will definitely help you.
Ok, thank you.
You're welcome. I'm leaving.
I'm leaving now. Remember, please don't be polite.
I won't be polite.
Alright. Let's go.
Have mercy!
How did I, for no reason have a boss big brother
drag me here to talk for so long.
We don't even know each other and we talked so much.
This big brother...
looks familiar.
Where have I seen him before?

Hello, Xiao Qian? It's me.
Just now during my meeting with President Xu,
he gave us some directions and suggestions regarding Living Happiness #1. Yes.
I'd like to go over later to talk about how to work with you.
Okay, then after work come by Living Happiness #1.
Okay, no problem.
Oh right, do you mind if Yi Qing is here?
She said she's going to come over.
She has a lot of ideas, so she can help us think of some more ideas.
No problem, an additional brain means additional power.
Jiang Xiao Qian.
Is your husband back in Taiwan?
No. He's still in Shanghai.
He said he will be back next week to celebrate White Day with me.
Is that right?
Is there a problem?
No, it's nothing.
Then, I'm going to go to Shi Da road to pick up some funds, and head over later.
Ok. Oh, Shi Da road..
Then can you help me pick up
Pan fried Buns, Honey Sauce BBQ plus
the delicious pineapple bun fatty set meal and...
He Xiao Quan, I'm not mad at you anymore.
You don't need to be so nice.
Alright then, I'll see you later.
Hey, don't forget to buy Yi Qing's portion too.
Okay, no problem. Bye bye.
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Thank you for bring me back from the clinic.
Why so polite? I'm your boyfriend.
Sending my girlfriend home is a part of my duties.
Stop using the term "boyfriend and girlfriend", I'm just assisting you with your act.
Right now it's fake. Who knows, later it might become real.
Feelings...are things that are hard to predict.
Stop emitting your pheromones everywhere.
It's the scent of a man.
For an unattractive person, that's just a stench.
If this is your way of attracting me.
You got it, you've succeeded.
If you want a taste of Kendo level 5,
then say so.
Be good, and be my shield, and the rest..
Ok! Let's cooperate for a better future.
It's good that you know.
Hey, let me do it. Helping a lady is a gentleman's duty.
Coming!
Yi Qing.
You...
I brought her here and then I'm going home.
Uh..
You can leave now.
Thank you, your Highness.
Thank you for sending Yi Qing here.
Hurry and come in, Xiao Quan will be bringing us our feast in a bit.
Bye bye.
Ding Ya.
Older brother.
- Hurry and talk- Talk about what?
Of course about you and Gao Ding Ya. Which base?
What's going on with He Xiao Quan, why is it taking him so long to buy snacks?
Ai yo, there's always a long line up there.
Which base?
He just got a bat and a uniform, so what do you think?
Ahh...he's still learning to bat.
Nonsense.If you keep disturbing me, I might anger him and make him quit the team.
No, don't do that. It's already hard enough for you to recruit your first team member.
Alright, I won't ask.
When He Xiao Quan arrives, you have to help me come up with selling ideas.
I know.
I feel that President Xu really scored.
He hires you as the manager, and gets me as an adviser on the side.
Well..that's because you're pretty and beautiful
and so knowledgeable. If you were to only be a psychologist, it would be a waste.
What? Say that again!
If even if I repeat it, it would be the same. The bank is just like that...
Collecting the umbrella on a rainy day. There's nothing I can do.
You're going to have to take care of mom.
You're going to ask me to take care of mom? You say it so easily
like she's someone else's mom. She's your mom too!
I can't even take care of myself, and you're going to be like this?
If I get you guys involved, it will only get you in trouble.
Stop pretending to be noble. You already dragged mom into this mess.
You have to be responsible for your loans. You have no right to take mom's house to pay off your loans.
I wanted to make more money so everyone can live more comfortably.
It's not my fault that the housing market and the stock market is this bad.
I'm telling you, I can barely hang on anymore.
You bastard!
What are you going to do?
No matter what, I'm still your older brother.
Ordinarily I'm the one taking care of mom. Are you not willing to take care of her now?
Bull, what taking care of!
You eat at home, use everything at home, live at home.
I gave her money.
Giving her money for groceries, so what? She takes care of your child for free.
She takes care of all your family's needs for free.
She views you as her son and you view her as a maid.
At least I make time for her.
What about you? Do you give her money?
Do I have to tell you if I give her money. Only you would say it.
You think that I don't know, that she can't even bear to give you her water and electricity bills.
Yet you still have the audacity to say to me that you take care of mom?
That's right.
I only earn this much, I can only do so much.
What about it?
Don't invest, if you don't have money.
At first it was sister-in-law's family that invested in property and stocks.
After they encourage you a little, you want to be like them, reaping rewards without work.
This has nothing to do with her!
Even now you're going to stick up for her.
When you're profiting the two of you get to enjoy it.
When you owe money, you use moms' savings to pay. Who does that.
Fine, you don't know how to select a wife. But now you've dragged mom into this mess.
Since we were little I've told you...
Mom especially loved you and always took your side.
- You can't beat me.- Don't give me excuses.
And you still...
No, we can't let them continue like this.
Men are like this. If you don't let them fight now, they will never make up.
But if we don't stop them, what if something bad happens?
What are you going to do? Are you able to stop 2 raging men?
Then let's call the police.
That's too much.
Then I'll call Xiao Quan and tell him to come back.
She already left.
I thought she would absolutely wait until I came.
But it is raining really hard.
She had to have left already.
Who said I left?
♫ 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 ♫
The rain is so heavy she must have left already.
Who said that I left?
Why did you suddenly appear?
Why did you suddenly come here? I just went to the bathroom.
Me? I thought I'd bring some snacks for everyone.
Snacks?
Is it corn chowder soup?
Wow. You can even smell it?
Because corn chowder soup is my favorite.
Wow, it has the smell of happiness.
I knew you would like it.
Hmm? What did you say?
Hmm? Me?
I was saying that Da Su and the rest have already left. Why are you still here?
Oh, because I wanted to research a tree in the rain.
While coming back from the washroom, I saw you hanging around here by yourself.
But what are we going to do with so much corn chowder soup?
Since you like it, you can take it.
Even if I like it, I can't drink it all myself.
- That's true.- But it will be wasteful.
Are you busy later?
- No.- Then let's go.
Hey, where are we going?
Stop talking, just come with me.
You're a grown man. Are you afraid I would assault you?
It's not impossible.
Your face seems to be glowing.
Hmm? Really? Where?
Did you forgot your face is iron? Let's go.
Hold the umbrella properly.
You hold it.
You came here to drink corn chowder soup?
Is this your secret place?
No. This is the place where my mom and I would come.
My mom used to love bringing me here.
We used to always drink warm corn chowder soup here
and eat it with freshly baked garlic bread.
She taught me the best way to eat it.
We were really happy and satisfied. I'd lean on my mom
and talk about anything.
This is my happiest memory.

Looks like you and your mom were very close.
Yes,
because I was the baby she dreamed of having.
Dream baby?
Your facial expression shows that you think my Chinese is terrible
and my logic is strange, right?
But this is the truth.
Before me, my mom's biggest dream was to be a famous actress.
But when she was chasing her dream, she got pregnant with me.
Because of me,
she married my dad,
and then became a stay at home mom
and a lady who everyone envied.
Of course...
she lost her chance to chase her dream.
So you are persistent about acting because of your mother?
Yes.
Maybe my mom is looking down from heaven.
I'd like to complete her dream for her
so that she can be proud of her baby.
That's why you are so persistent and never quit.
Actually,
I know I don't have much talent
and my framework is not great,
so I need to be more persistent and hard working than others.
That way I will have a chance to complete my mom's dream.
And also
so I won't waste the chance you've given me.
♫ Who likes being praised for independence? ♫
♫ A stable life, travelling occasionally, but missing someone to care for ♫
I just spoke a little bit and you've turned shy.
Your mom's way of eating...
Can you teach me too? I'd like to try.
Okay.
♫ I never let anyone worry ♫
Take a big mouthful.
♫ Even when I said "I'm letting go", it was so firm that you believed it ♫
Can't you be more gentle?
You're choking because you didn't open your mouth big enough.
Watch me.
♫ Looking at you hugging your new love ♫
You really are bold. Like father, like daughter.
I'll tell you a secret.
♫ Reminding myself repeatedly I should go forward ♫
What secret?
My dad hated it when my mom and I came here.
Do you know why?
Because every time we came home,
we would smell of garlic, stink up the place
and scare him like that.
I want some too.
Mmm...
So delicious.
Don't sit in that chair.
You broke it earlier.
Did you not notice?
I'll buy you a new one with the money I earn.
I'll repay it.
You have too many things you need to repay.
Since we were kids, I always thought that it would be you who would run into problems.
And me, being your older brother, would have to clean up the mess.
Hard to believe.
I admit that mom tends to favour me, and I am fully aware of it.
But mom also gave me a lot of pressure.
I know. That's why you didn't want to come home.
Mom really cares about you.
She just wants what's best for you. It's not pressure.
But you needed to take care of mom. Thank you for your hard work.
Then moving forward...
Let me take over.
I've already made the arrangements.
I'm going to let Mom take Wei Wei out for the 3 days and 2 nights.
You're still keeping it from mom?
Fine, we'll do it your way.
In the next couple of days, I'll clear out the house to give to the bank.
I'll have to ask you to take of mom
and I'll have to trouble you to find her a residence.
I can take care of mom.
But do you think mom will not worry about you?
Ting Ru and I have already moved back to her parents' house.
Back to her parents' house?
Even I know how her parents will treat you.
In our family you're older brother, a pillar.
If you go to their home, you'll have to live under them.
Yi Qing?
Gao Mama.
Gao Mama, why are you here?
I made some of Ding Ya's favorite dishes.
Ding Ya is so lucky.
Take care of yourself.
~ Preview ~Have you thought about letting your mom stay at Living Happiness #1?
Man Man, promise me.
Let the two us of live together happily.
Just stay with me forever.
Your face doesn't have clues. Only I understand the feeling of sadness.
