Far Away Love Episode 4
I-I just don't like seeing other people get into a fight.
Me neither.
Especially fights between girls.
It's like the end of the world.
So Senior Teddy who's good at everything
also has things that he's afraid of.
I really don't understand what those girls are thinking.
When I walk around campus, I constantly get hit by bicycles,
my spot at the library often gets occupied by girls,
and when I eat in the cafeteria, I get soup spilled on me at least once a week!
That's too exaggerated!
Actually, they are just trying to get to know you.
Getting to know me?
What kind of logic is this?
If you don't want their attention,
- shall I give you a suggestion?- Tell me.
Find yourself a girlfriend, then everything will be peac--
Forget it.
Find a girlfriend?
You mean, I have to hang out with a girl every day?
Senior Teddy,
you are like an... over-heated computer right now.
This is just too complicated.
Right, I forgot to ask for your name.
Meng Chu Xia.
I'm Li Teddy.
That's how we got to know each other.
Ruo Nan already told you the rest of the story.
Our relationship isn't that different from other college students.
Usually, we'd just study together, go attend seminars or talks, things like that.
Good friends?
Then why did you call him Meng Xiang's Papa Teddy just now?
Meng Xiang was attending elementary school at that time.
and the school insisted on having a parent-child Sports Day.
Meng Xiang was super worried that he would be different from his classmates.
Senior Teddy just happened to find out that I was worrying about the whole situation,
so he volunteered to be Meng Xiang's father.
Chu Xia,
what do you think? Do I look mature enough?
You look great. Sorry for troubling you, Senior Teddy.
No trouble! No trouble at all! It's what I should do.
Do your best later.
Mommy and Papa Teddy will be cheering you on. Don't be nervous.
Yes, add oil!(Chinese equivalent of encouragement like "fighting")
Go on.
Slow down!
Go find your friends and have fun.
How are you?
Are you Meng Xiang's parents?
Yes, we are.
You both look so young.
How long have you been married?
- Nine years.- Eight years.
Men are all like that. After they get married, they become so muddle-headed.
Exactly! My husband's the same way.
Right. You're right.
Our kids are in the same class, so let's stay in touch.
Sure, no problem.
This is my husband's business card.
Thank you.
Wait a while.
Oh, I was in such a hurry today, I forgot to bring my business cards.
You're so absent-minded today.
Sorry. My name is Li Teddy.
Nice to meet you.
Isn't your son's last name Meng?
My last name is Meng.
Sorry, sorry.
I married into her family.
So that's what happened.
So when did he confess and then get rejected?
I don't remember clearly.
Anyway, I only thought of him as a kind and friendly senior.
But actually at that time Senior Teddy already...
Ruo Nan, that's something that happened seven or eight years ago,
there's no need to break it all down to analyze again, is there?
Aren't you something?
It seems like you have yet to tell me the full story.
But it's okay,
we'll just let the past be the past.
A new chapter is slowly unfolding.
What are you up to again?
Stop pretending, Meng Chu Xia. Senior Teddy is only three or four years older than you,
he works at web company; he's handsome and nice, but most importantly,
he confessed to you even while knowing all about Meng Xiang.
Meng Chu Xia, he's definitely the other half of the apple that God made for you!
I beg you to stop matchmaking us anyhow. We still want to continue being friends!
Chu Xia, actually I think you and Senior Teddy are a pretty good match.
You two, I want you to think it over carefully now.
Do you still like the person you dated seven or eight years ago?
Don't make me think about that! Just the thought of it makes me want to bang my head against the wall and kill myself.
See! How about you?
I suddenly can't even seem to be able to remember the guy's name.
That is the power of time.
Just because someone confessed that he liked you while he was young and innocent,
doesn't mean that you need to get into some sort of relationship with them when you meet once again.
Only young girls do that.
I'm already a mother; I don't have the mood for that anymore.
Only time will tell, let us wait and see.

- Who is it?- It's me.
I was wrong. Please don't leave me.
You are the only person in this world who understands my sadness.
Come in.
Hello?
President Zhang.
Just a moment. Let me turn the computer on.
Right. Yes. Yes.
A change was made on page 53 of the document.
Yes, it's altered according to the case #7 that you sent.
Yes, we made the changes.
Sure, I'll send it over to you right now.
Bye, President Zhang.
Sorry for waking you up.
It's because this client is overseas.
- but it seems like this deal is about to be sealed.- Fei Fei.
Don't you think being busy like this is very meaningless?
Because you had to answer that absurd phone call,
you missed out on the early morning sunshine.
Why are there so many gifts today?
Looks like the guests last night were too kind and enthusiastic.
- Hurry and put these gifts away.- The President is here.
Keep them out of sight. Remember, don't let the President see them.
Did you hear it? Hurry!
You're here.
Those... what are they?
They were just gifts given by unimportant people. Don't you receive gifts daily?
But usually, there wouldn't be so many at one time.
And also, the boxes appear very similar. Really, what are they?
They are suit jackets given by the guests from yesterday.
It's that Meng, Meng, Meng what?
Meng Chu Xia.
Meng Chu Xia... I think it's more like Meng Jing Xia! (Meng = dream, Jing Xia = horrifying)
The moment she appears, it's like a terrifying nightmare.
She definitely has become my god of bad luck.
After seeing your grandfather and grandmother, you must talk more about your school stuff. They love to hear that.
Look. Isn't that her?
I'll tell them that I'm eating meat every day.
Hey, stop right there.
Meng Xiang, your habit of refusing to admit your mistakes is a bad one.
What I'm about to do now has an adult reason behind it.
This concerns 88 000 Yuan worth of money. Please remember that.
Meng Jing Xia.
It really is you. You destroyed that suit jacket on purpose, didn't you?
What suit jacket? I don't know.
Oh, President, my name is Meng Chu Xia.
Hey, why are you like this?
How can you deny it just like that?
You're talking about that suit jacket that I had already had cleaned, right?
What about it?
So what you're saying is that super ugly patch had nothing to do with you?
Meng Jing Xia, why did that suit jacket end up in your hands?
Isn't it because I helped you?
Is this how you treat people who help you?
But didn't you say that you were only annoyed at them and didn't really want to help me?
Fine. I won't deny that.
But you must give me an explanation today.
One suit jacket is really nothing. But the humiliation I experienced...
- I can't let it just pass.- Could it be...
you want me to compensate you?
Money is nothing to me.
I want you to bow and apologize to me.
And your voice must be loud. Everyone passing by must hear it.
You must say "I made a mistake. Please forgive me."
Don't think of escaping this time. Our car is just off to the side.
You won't be able to get away.
Mom, didn't you say that this thing has nothing to do with us?
What did you say? Mom?!
How can her child be so old?
It really was my fault. Let's just admit it.
Listen to me.
Dad!
Dad, I beg you to let me and my mom go.
I... I'll bow to you.
You... You... What did you just call me earlier?
You're usually so dignified when you're outside,
but the moment you get drunk, you come home and hit me and my mom.
We can't stand it anymore!
How can you, a kid, talk rubbish like that? Who's your father?
It's really hard to tell. Dressed so dignified like that.
Should we call the police?
They are slandering us! Our President doesn't have any relationship with them.
Don't believe them!
It was you who said that, right?
From now on, don't come home to kneel and beg me and my mother anymore.
- Let's go.- I...
I... I - I do domestic violence? E-even kneeling?!
- Hey! Don't you guys leave!- President, President, let it go already. Don't chase them anymore.
If the reporters knew about this, it will be harder for us to explain it.
It's better that we go back inside.
Okay. Okay. Don't look anymore. Disperse! Disperse!
Let's go. Let's go.
Meng Xiang, your actions earlier, talking in terms of character, were extremely extremely wrong.
But...
what you did this time... is very good.
- Mom!- You're back.
Grandma.
You guys must be tired. Were there a lot of people on the bus?
- Not many.- Good. Let's go in.
Come.
- Dad.- Grandpa.
Stop doing it anymore. Let me do it.
Don't bother me. Since Meng Xiang was little, he's been used to the spare ribs that I make.
Hey, why is this like that, old woman?
Didn't we agree? We have to use the brand that's from our hometown,
or else it won't taste right.
Only one shop is selling that. What am I to do when they run out of stock?
We've already left our hometown for so many years.
Still wants the hometown taste?! Honestly!
Dad, I saw this brand of soy sauce in the city.
I know that it's hard to buy them here so I brought a lot of bottles.
Wait here. I'll go get them.
Grandpa, let me help you.
Okay. Come.
Why must you make so many dishes? My dad wouldn't even let me help earlier.
My good daughter, are you planning on making some weird dishes again?
Is it watermelon stewed carp? Or stir-fried tea-leave noodles?
Your dad and I are already at this age. I'm afraid our stomaches can't take it.
Aiyo, I've long stopped making those specialty dishes. If you don't believe me, ask Meng Xiang.
I've already nipped this bad habit in the bud.
Oh, right. Mom. Here. Keep this well.
Your dad and I are not lacking money now, so keep this money for your own use.
If you don't accept it now, don't regret it later.
To reward my outstanding performance in one of the company's events,
they especially gave me this big red packet (bonus).
This is only a small portion of what was inside.
Chu Xia, Meng Xiang and your expenditures in the city are quite big.
Your dad's body is not healthy anymore. We can't help you much as well.
In the future, you don't need to send us money every month.
Mom, you two should just focus on eating and drinking well.
Don't stop Dad's medicine and healthcare products. You don't need to think about anything else.
I'm doing pretty well on my job. My boss also said,
that I'm about to get a promotion and a raise in salary.
There's no problem at all with Meng Xiang and my daily expenses.
No, no. Do you think I don't know you well?
You only tell us the good news, and don't tell us your troubles.
Mom, did you forget?
Doesn't that person send us money periodically?
That money is not to be used. And we are not to mention that person in this family again.
Grandfather, today's ribs are a bit too salty.
Really? Then... then I'll take it back.
No need, no need, no need.
The saltiness is great for pairing with the rice. I'll eat a few more bowls of rice today.
Look, that's Meng Xiang. He knows how to give his grandfather face.
Eat more, here.
It gets cold in the night. I'm here to give you an extra blanket.
Mom, since Meng Xiang and I stepped through the door, you've yet to rest.
Stop busying yourself.
This is nothing. You guys don't come more than a few times each month.
Which mother would complain of tiredness when doing things for their kids?
About that, I understand completely.
At this time in your life, you shouldn't have that kind of experience.
At this prime age, you still haven't had the chance to act spoiled or be willful,
and you haven't been able to seriously fall in love and get into relationships.
Mom, this is called independence. Isn't it rather cool?
Because of that personality of yours, let me tell you,
that's why your dad and I are able to rest assured.
Did that person call recently?
There hasn't been news for a long time
Just now, although your dad was a little naggy,
but what he said was right.
You can't let that person's mistake influence your whole life.
Mom, wait for a while.
Okay.
I'll send it over immediately.
Who are you calling again? Is it YaoYao?
- Hello?-Hello? Hello?
What I said was, send Meng Chu Xia's resume
to our Human Resources Director's mailbox.
The interview time will be sent to her mobile.
Did you hear?
This... this is...?
There were a lot of job-seeking advertisements at home. You've lost your job, right?
You... are you looking for a job for me?
You've never trusted me from the beginning, right?
I...
Cheers for our fresh out of the oven, Sales Vice Director, Fei Fei!
Cheers!
Out of the oven? I'm not a roast duck!
So what if it's roast duck? Roast duck is the national dish.
Senior, who'd would have thought that Fei Fei would invite you too?
Isn't this what she ought to do? Am I not your friend?
What Chu Xia meant to say was that, if she knew you were coming, she would have dressed herself up nicely.
Don't speak gibberish!
She's already very pretty like that.
You guys are just using me as a joke, right?
Fei Fei, you're really good at holding it in. You never even mentioned it when you called me earlier in the day.
I'm already an executive. Of course, I need to know how to keep things in.
Fei Fei, do you feel an extreme sense of accomplishment right now?
Let me tell you the truth.
When I left my boss' office, I felt that even my vision had improved.
The whole world was bright and gleaming.
Here. This is for everyone.
Thank you. Thank you.
DaVinci, they say that you sing very well but we have never heard it.
Today was Fei Fei's promotion. Do you want to sing her a song?
Yes, right. I also want to hear it.
It's like this.
It's my responsibility to sing for Fei Fei.
But I will not sing for some Vice Director position thing.
Because I feel that people who get happy because of such things are too vulgar.
Fei Fei won't.
Because I know, in her heart, she's not truly happy.
Why wouldn't I be truly happy?
I relied on my own abilities to get that promotion and salary raise. I'm very happy.
Fei Fei, what do you mean?
What do I mean? Why don't you think about what meaning your life has?
I went out to eat with my friends, but you kept insisting that my friends, to you, weren't being sincere.
But you? Have you ever been sincere with them?
I picked up a call from a client, and you said that I missed out on the early morning sunshine.
Fine. Even if I was just a weed in a garden,
I couldn't live only on sunshine, without soil and water.
You can continue to mournfully gaze up at the bright starry sky at a 45° angle,
but don't pull me into it, okay?!
That's my Fei Fei.
Here, here, here, drink, drink, drink.
- Here, cheers.- Here. Here.
- Cheers!- Cheers, cheers.
Fei Fei, do you know? You were great today, do you know that?
- My goddess!- Stop it!
Thank you guys, for coming to celebrate with me.
Be careful when you go back. Especially you two.
Remember to call me.
- You have to be careful too.- Mm.
You should be careful yourself.
I'm fine.
Fei Fei, are you really okay?
You just broke up, you--
Don't worry! I'm fine!
You'll understand in time. Fei Fei is the true Sailor Moon.(Popular anime heroine who uses her powers to fight evil)
Fei Fei, let me send you back?
- Okay, let's go.- Oh, yeah!
Let me send you back.
I think I've already made myself clear.
My dress is not suitable for riding your big motorcycle.
Last time, you were wearing a full-length dress too, but I still managed to get you to ride with me.
The last dress cost 200. It was fine if you tore it.
Do you know how much this dress cost?! I only bought it after thinking about it for half a year!
You just ripped it without even asking. Who gave you that right?!
I will text you my bank account number plus the receipt.
You just need to pay 80% of that amount.
Let's go!
Fei Fei, wait for me!
I finally understand what you meant by those words.
I feel that Fei Fei isn't just Sailor Moon. She's a female general!
You haven't seen one, right?
After all these years of not meeting, what kind of woman has our Chu Xia become?
Fei Fei always call me...
a female coward.
Isn't that the same as no change at all?
Fei Fei, is that DaVinci able to pay you back for your dress?
Aren't you a little too harsh?
Please, can you not be so naive?
He's the star singer in that night club. He plays the melancholy artist on one side,
while on the other, he earns a couple times more than a regular white collar employee.
So do you still want to pity him?
Okay. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll be going to work now.
Chu Xia,
now that I've broken up with him, your job is gone too.
Later, when I'm done with all that I'm busy with...
Later, when I'm done with all that I'm busy with these last couple of days, I'll help you look again.
- Bye Bye.- Bye Bye.- Bye Bye.
I've been busy with some things recently so I forgot to tell you.
I resigned.
How long has it been?
Probably around 10 days.
You hid it from me for over 10 days?
Chu Xia, I know that you really don't like troubling others, especially me.
But not having a job is not a small thing.
You should have told me so I could help you.
Ruo Nan, if not for Fei Fei personally seeing it,
I might not have told anyone about it. All of you really are too nice to me.
But, I still want to be responsible for my own life.
How about this? In exchange,
help me with something too, okay?
I'll help.
Not long ago, didn't I keep going to your house for free meals?
You were right. My family had arranged a lot of social events for me to attend.
And also at each of those events, there'd be a suitably aged single young man.
And you refused to admit it at that time. So what now? You can't escape it anymore?
If I escape again, I'll really be kicked out of the house.
It's not bad already.
Aren't the men, on all of your blind dates, always radiant?
If not some financial giant, he's some political elite.
If not that, he's some little overlord in the business world. Too cool!
Stop that.
It's not as if you don't know how many weirdos I've met previously.
But today, you must help me.
Say it. What do you want me to do?
Be my off-site rescue team.
Off-site rescue team?
In the end, you used that bed sheet to mend the suit jacket?
Oh my god!
Then the two of you just rode the bus and escaped?
How did you think of using the bed sheet? You're too talented!
Aren't you laughing a little too carefreely?
For me, that was a very terrifying experience.
You still dare to laugh?
What does that person do?
I really want to know what kind of person
was able to be bullied by our Meng Chu Xia, time after time.
This time, even including little Meng Xiang.
That time, I was also in a daze. I didn't even see clearly the name of the building where he works.
I reckon that he's also some kind of executive of that sort?
He's just some stranger, so I didn't bother learning more about him.
In such a big city,
if I unluckily bump into him again, then I'll just leave immediately.
Ruo Nan.
To have such a big piece of land in the downtown area and only open a cafe...
Heaven is really too unfair.
Ruo Nan, having a blind date in such a place, even if that person is a weirdo,
I'd reckon that he might look a little cuter too, wouldn't he?
That's not necessarily true.
How about this. Later, if the person that comes is super awful,
then I'll put the spoon inside the cup.
Then you pretend to be an old classmate that has accidentally bumped into me
and insist on taking me to your home nearby. We must then leave immediately.
This old classmate of yours really has poor eyesight.(She doesn't know how to gauge situations)
Just analyze it like Er Peng would, and I believe that you'll easily get the feel for it.
You learned that from Ding Fei, didn't you?
But what if you... you like that person?
I can't just keep sitting there and looking at you both, right?
The chance for that isn't very high.
But if that's really the case,
then I'll place the spoon across the saucer.
Then in that case, I'll quickly leave and let the two of you enjoy each other's company.
What kind of person is coming this time?
I didn't inquire about it in detail either. Should be some sort of influential figure?
I heard that it's someone the paparazzi will take photos of
if they don't have any idol star to follow.
Great.
Should I secretly photograph you guys today, then give it to the paparazzi to earn a quick buck from it?
Let's go.
Miss, here's your coffee.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
I'm Shen An. Hello.
Hello. I'm He Ruo Nan.
Why is it him?
What kind of life is this? I should have just bought a lottery ticket.
Influential figure... Restaurant...
Master Shen! Shen Corporation!
Never heard.
Do you know the meaning of Lontano?
Don't know.
"In a far away place." So beautiful.
This thing really is quite far.
May I say. How come I...
How come I never realized such an obvious thing?
Ruo Nan,
although this person's temper is quite bad,
he isn't too bad in all other aspects.
You'd better think about it carefully.
I really don't want to bump into him again.
Shen Ge Ge!
What a coincidence!
Little Shadow? Why are you here?
Shopping. You wouldn't allow me to go to your company, right?
I was quite busy recently. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to entertain you well if you came.
Shen Ge Ge, this is...
This is Miss He.
Hello. I'm He Ruo Nan.
Carrying so many things must be tiring? Do you want to sit and drink something with us?
Okay.
This is great!
I thought I would have to have a cup of coffee all by myself after shopping.
But I'm so happy I was able to meet Shen Ge Ge and Ruo Nan Jie Jie.(Jie - older sister)
Oh yes, Ruo Nan Jie Jie, my name is Qiao Jia Ying.
Shen Ge Ge, you look really handsome in this suit!
He's already got a girlfriend, why does he still bother to come for a blind date?
He's too outrageous for words! Honestly!
This suit really does fit you well, Mr. Shen.
Miss Qiao, what would you like to drink?
These three people seem to be having a great time chatting.
Shen Ge Ge, what do you think I should order?
Yes, may I help you?
Frozen lemon yogurt and chocolate lava cake.
Wow, wonderful! Shen Ge Ge got it all.
You are so miraculous! How can your memory be so good?
What else would you order when you come to this cafe?
Ruo Nan Jie Jie, am I too foolish?
I already forgot that Shen Ge Ge and I have been
to this restaurant on numerous occasions.
Mr. Shen cares a lot about you, that's why he remembers it so clearly.
Were those two desserts this place's specialty?
It's a pity I ordered coffee this time, but I must try them the next time.
Will you come with me then?
Sure.
If the person who comes is super awful,
then I will put the spoon inside the cup.
Then you, will pretend to be an old classmate who accidentally bumped into me.
If I am to die, so be it.
Rou Nan Jie Jie, your earrings are so pretty!
Thank you.
Aren't you He Ruo Nan? Long time no see.
Are you here to discuss business?
No, I'm just hanging out with friends.
That's great, then it should be no problem for you to leave early, right?
I just moved nearby. The house is newly renovated, and super pretty.
You need to come see it with me.
Rou Nan Jie Jie, is this your friend? Shall we sit together?
No, no,
my husband is waiting for me to cook dinner at home. I really can't stay.
Let's go.
Then let's arrange to meet another time.
- Let's go, come on. - Bye bye！
See you!
- Hurry up, run! - I can't run any more.
It's good nobody's behind us.
Scared me to death!
Ruo Nan, no wonder you wanted to leave.
He's that... that mountain-bike's owner.
Oh my god!
Do you understand what I'm saying?
He is the one who you said
that always gets bullied by me.
- Really?- Yes!
Then could you please not bully him any more in the future?
What?
Chu Xia,
I like him.
What?
You?
Rou Nan,
if you already liked him, then why you did you give me the sign to rescue you?
If I tell you, don't laugh at me, alright?
I was too nervous just now. I remembered it wrongly.
Oh my god, He Ruo Nan, you're always the calm one among us.
There was no hint that you liked him.
Even I didn't see it.
Only little girls show their likes and dislikes on their faces.
Don't you think so?
The older women get, the better they are at hiding their feelings.
But luckily I remembered it wrongly,
if you showed up any later, I wouldn't have been able to pretend any more.
Rou Nan, I remember that you once told me that
you don't have any luck with love.
Until now, you've never felt your heart beat fast.
Could it be that this time...
I finally know why now.
And I've finally got to experience this feeling.
Chu Xia, do you know this feeling is incredible.
Today, I finally got to know.
My heart was like a puzzle that was missing a piece.
In the past, I never knew what shape that puzzle piece was,
but it was always there.
And there really is such a man,
the curve of his smile,
the tone of his voice, his complexion,
even the way he handles things... everything feels just right.
Perfectly fitting into that spot.
Do you know what kind of feeling this is?
No matter what,
I wish for you to be happy.
Let's go.
What happened, Shen Ge Ge?
What are you looking at?
This drink hasn't expired, has it?
Why are you suddenly acting so strange?
Like you're super cautious about everything.
Traumatic past experiences. Every time that girl shows up, something bad happens to me.
Who is it?
Husband?
She has a husband and kid, but she still became someone's mistress.
If not for Miss He, I really want...
What are you talking about?
No, nothing much.
Shen Ge Ge,
Rou Nan Jie Jie was another blind date, right?
You've been acting weird since she left.
Is it because no other girl had ever left early
when they had a date with you? So...
I don't mind that.
Then, what do you think about her?
I've met so many girls, and she is
the only one that hasn't asked me about your relationship with me.
She knows how to act in various situations. She has the qualifications to be the lady boss of a corporation.
Then... do you like her?
I don't need to like her, I just need someone suitable.
It'd be better if she can stay away from certain friends of hers.
Senior, you're so busy with work, and you still specially came over to buy groceries with me.
I've really troubled you.
What's there to trouble?
I was overseas for a couple of years, and I found that everything has changed after I came back.
The food stalls that I was once familiar with have been converted into high-end clubs.
The little paths that I was once familiar with have become so wide that I can't see the other side.
How is your job recently? I rarely hear you talk about your job.
There is nothing much to talk about.
You don't really mention work matters either.
But someone who's as good-natured as you,
could it be that you bullied at work, that's why you don't dare say anything?
Don't worry, nobody dares to bully me.
It's just over there. We've almost reached it.
Come in.
This... the house is a little small, don't laugh.(meaning it isn't very good, please bear with it.)
No. It's really cozy.
Give these to me.
Meng Xiang!
Please come in.
Meng Xiang, come. Papa Teddy is here.
- Meng Xiang- Uncle Li.
This kid! Senior, have a seat! I will bring your tea.
Uncle Li, do you want stay have dinner with us?
Meng Xiang, what are you talking about? No manners!
Why is asking this question considered as having no manners?
Chu Xia, I just came to help you carry the groceries.
I won't stay. I still have something on for tonight.
- Sorry about this.- It‘s alright.
Senior, I'm really sorry.
Never mind.
