My Mr. Mermaid
Episode 3
Hey.
Didn't you say you would come down after 5 minutes? Do you know how long I had to wait here for?
Why are you carrying so much stuff, tomboy?
Why did you ask me to come here?
I said to stop calling me "tomboy."
It's so ugly.
How does it sound ugly? I'm complimenting you.
All the other girls aren't as fierce as you are.
You're punching me for real?
I'm warning you, if you ever call me that name again, I'll give you a beating.
We'll see if you still dare to call me that.
I won't waste anymore of your time.
Here. Take this.
Don't mess around with it.
Why are you giving me goggles?
Don't tell me it's a girl from the female team that has a crush on me.
Stop boasting about yourself.
Xiao Lü from my team has had a crush on Tang Yibai for the longest time.
She asked me to ask you to give this to him.
Fine. Then you can Xiao Lü
I will give it to Tang Yibai, and also tell her,
That she needs to go to the hospital to get her eyes checked.
She likes Tang Yibai but not me? Her eyes definitely has problems.
Hey, wait a moment.
Also, take this.
What is it?
It's dinner. You should eat some more to get stronger.
But don't misunderstand, Head Coach Yuan specially told me to go buy this.
Otherwise, I would never buy it.
I won't misunderstand. You're overthinking.
Tell Head Coach Yuan I said thanks. I'm leaving.
- I'll see you tomorrow. Bye. - Bye.
What are you laughing for? Go to your own room to laugh!
So annoying. Why are you laughing in my room?
What is this?
It's a gift. Take it.
Your fan gave it to you.
Fan?
Brother Yibai actually has a fan?
That's right. Xiang Yangyang and I said,
This, was sent from a member of the female team.
Help me return it back to her.
You can tell her I don't accept gifts.
Why? Yibai, aren't you being too cruel?
Someone gave you a gift and you don't even accept it.
Right now, you are breaking the heart of a maiden. A maiden's heart!
You're being disgusting.
If you're disgusted, then go throw up.
Wait, if I remember clearly, just two days ago,
Egg Sister gave you a tea egg!
Then why did you accept that?
Brother Feng. You don't know this.
There's a saying that Yibai never accepts gifts.
He only accepts tea eggs.
I understand now.
I was saying, in the past, Yibai never liked to talk much.
He didn't like to smile either.But recently, he started speaking more,
and he's even smiling more.
This Egg Sister is actually a divine being.
You've become bipolar because of her.
Stop calling her Egg Sister! She has a name.
She's called Yun Duo.
Yun Duo..
Yun Duo.. Oh! I know!
Isn't she this? "Hello, I am Yun Duo."
I suddenly think that her name, Yun Duo, is actually pretty nice.
I like this Yun Duo girl.
I also..
think so..
You like her?
Aren't you wearing headphones? How can you hear what we're saying?
I think he's just pretending.
Tang Yibai, we understand
what you're up to.
And he's even pretending to listen to music.
All done.
My wallet really did fall out!
I just received this week's salary.
I also have to replace my debit card!
Why am I so unlucky..
My amulet,
Other than protecting me, can't you also give me good luck?
I want good fortune!
Hello?
Hello? I'd like to ask if this is Miss Yun?
Yes, I am, and who are you?
I found a wallet on the ground, and inside I found your business card.
Did you lose your wallet?
Yes yes yes! That wallet is mine!
You can take all my money, but could you at least leave my card and credentials?
I'm begging you, these things are very important.
Don't worry, you can relax. I just wanted to confirm, I'm not taking your money.
Tomorrow, I'll send it to your company.
Really?
Thank you! You really are a kind-hearted person.
Returning an item back to its owner, it's something I should do.
Okay, then we'll just leave it from here. Bye.
Okay okay, thank you.
My amulet! You really listened to what I said!
It's miraculous!
Hello?
Wake up! Don't sleep here!
Mister!
Can you hear me?
Are you okay? Why are you drinking alcohol by yourself?
You're even bleeding..
How about.. How about I send you to the hospital?
Are you okay?
No, your ice compressor won't work.
Here, I'll help you.
Slowly, slowly.
Be careful, put it here.
It's good. Here,
Take it, give me a hand. Press here.
- Here? - Yes. Press firmly.
You have to stick it like this.
If you stick it like this, it enhances your muscles when it contracts.
And then, it reduces fatigue. It can also increase joint stability.
You learned this from your dad?
My dad was the national team's health and fitness instructor.
He was very good at joint health. So I also secretly learned a bit.
Here.
Try it a bit. Do it slowly.
How is it?
Not bad! No wonder you're the little health and fitness care expert in our team.
I'll remember what you just taught me.
Hey, also, before you returned to the team, I was always the first to practice,
but now, whenever I arrive, you're already training. But this is good;
with you here, I won't be bored during practice.
Also, that joint warm-up match was quite a pity.
Your time was almost in the 40's.
You were 0.12 seconds faster than my record,
so I think Coach will send you
for this Dream Cup's 100 meter freestyle.
Hopefully.
What answer is that? Are you taking my feelings into consideration?
I'm telling you, before the coaches officially announce the Dream Cup entry list,
I won't easily hand the 100 meter freestyle event to you.
You and I will have a fair competition. The strongest will compete.
Neither is to complain.
Sure. Fair competition. The strongest will compete.
Neither is to complain.
Here.
Feeling better?
I'm fine.
Let's go another round?
- Let's go.- Let's go.
- Hello, miss.- Hello.
I found a wallet. I think it belongs to an employee here.
I have a picture of her.
I know her! She's our company's intern.
Really? Great.
Leave your contact information behind.
Okay.
Yun Duo.
The wallet belongs to her. You can give it to her yourself.
It's you! Weren't you the one who helped pay my bus fee the other day?
Yes.
Why are you here?
I... I found a wallet, so I delivered it here.
What a coincidence. This wallet is mine!
- Really?- Yes.
I'm the one you spoke to on the phone to other day.
I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar.
What a coincidence. The world is so small. Here.
Thank you.
That's right. I saw you for two days straight, and you helped me twice.
How about I take you out for lunch as repayment?
We can do that later.
I'm quite busy. I need to leave now.
Wait!
You already helped me twice. If I don't thank you, I'd feel sorry.
I have my own principles.
I know. Even if the whole world is in debt to you, you can't owe any money to others.
Yes, yes, yes.
Just keep this debt for now. I'll let you repay it in the future.

Teacher Sun,
what's wrong with them?
I'm guessing they just finished having conversations with Director Liu in his office.
Understand? This is very normal.
This is normal?
Yun Duo, let me tell you something,
but I'm not the one who said it. I'm only the messenger.
Among you interns, there's a legend that
if somebody goes into Director Liu's office
and has a conversation with him for longer than 5 minutes, there are two results.
One result is three days of crying.
The other result is depression,
and cannot be happy ever again.
Thus, Director Liu has a nickname among the interns.
What is it?
I'm not the one who said this, okay? I'm only the messenger.
Dementor.
See Harry Potter for reference.
Yun Duo,
don't be too worried because in every batch of interns,
there are always one or two who walk out of his office smiling...
See that? That girl is one of the few.
I hope you can become the second. Good luck!
Yun Duo, what did you do this time? Director Liu called you up by name.
- He's looking for me?- Yes.
Good morning, everyone.
Today, I want to discuss some of the...
Do you know how to spell "honesty"?
That is "honesty".
Hey, stop sleeping. I can hear your snoring.
Get up and pay attention!
Get up!
Did you think I want to sleep? I had training early this morning.
I'm dead tired.
Are you here for class or for nap time?
Teacher, I'm sorry. My notebook fell.
Okay. Take your time.
Yun Duo.
Yes, Director Liu?
Do you know your own identity?
Intern reporter of QKVideo.
Great. You know your identity.
You are only a mere intern
in a small section of QKVideo. You don't even have a formal title.
Who gives you the right to question other reporters?
Director Liu, I can explain.
Look for yourself.
Even the most careful person can sometimes take the wrong medication.
What do you mean? Who are you saying took the wrong medication?
It was just an example.
Do you know how many calls I received this morning?
I don't understand.
As a mere intern,
where did you find the courage to argue with another reporter like this?
No, I didn't want to argue with him,
but he was accusing an athlete with no proof. It's outrageous,
so I accidentally said what was on my mind.
How are you certain that he randomly accused Tang Yibai?
How do you have proof that he didn't do something bad
in order to win?
If you don't have proof, try to find it.
I think Tang Yibai has a good impression of you after this incident.
Why not use this chance to investigate
the truth behind his past suspension.
You don't want to?
Director Liu, as a reporter, it's my duty to report news,
but I can't dig up the scandals of my friend
and pour salt over his wounds.
This is against my morals. I can't do it.
When did you hear me tell you to create scandals?
I'm telling you to objectively find the truth.
If he's innocent, your report can clear his name.
If he's not innocent, as an athlete,
he should accept the society's inspection.
Moreover, I am not interested at all in your opinionated morals
concerning this job.
I only want to remind you
that the next time you speak with me,
remember two things:
First, I control the results of your internship.
Whether or not you can become an official reporter
is my decision.
Second, you are only an intern.
Your job is to learn how to become a professional reporter,
not to teach me how to be a reporter.
Yun Duo, if you speak to me like this again,
I'll promise you can't find--
Director Liu.
Director Liu, I have some questions about the task you just assigned me.
I want to ask you for more direction.
Let me see.
It's here. The first event and the third event.
This isn't right.
Where's the column operation and team introduction? How could you group them together?
- Yes, yes. This is the one.- This whole event is wrong.
- Edit it again.- Oh.
Okay. Thank you, Director Liu.
You can go now.
Teacher Sun!
You can't blame me.
It was Director Liu's orders. Good luck.
What is this?
I am now in first place... First to last.
Yun Duo, don't talk back to Director Liu next time.
Us being able to become official reporters
all depends on him.
Look at you. You're at the end of the rank.
This way, how will you pass the internship together with me?
I was only saying the truth.
I don't like using my friends just for popularity.
Look at you. You're smart, but you are so inflexible.
Actually, Director Liu is very easy to deal with.
You only need a few methods.
What are they?
You want to know?
Okay. I'll teach you.
Let's go.
Qi Ruifeng,
this is for you. It's today's class's notes.
I don't even have time for training, so how could I have time to read these notes? Take them back.
I don't care if you read them or not,
but if you fail the finals,
you can't represent the school to compete.
If you get suspended for this reason,
you would be too embarrassing of a team captain.
I'm only afraid that if I become too perfect, even God will be jealous, okay?
Otherwise, how could Tang Yibai be known as the top student?
It's only finals. It's okay. I'll just do my best.
- I'm leaving.- Read it, then.
Senior Qi!
I like you so much. I watch every one of your swim matches.
- Really? - Of course! I haven't missed a single match.
What a coincidence. I also haven't missed a single one of my matches.
Senior Qi, you're so funny.
Can I take a picture with you?
Sure! No problem! Help me hold this.
Thank you, Senior Qi. Good luck with your competition! Goodbye.
Okay. Bye bye.
Where's Yangyang?
Yun Duo, I have a task for you.
Yes, sir!
Today at 3PM,
Dream Cup's organizers are holding a press conference. I was supposed to go,
but I have an emergency job
that suddenly changed the time. Thus, I can't attend the press conference.
I've decided to send you, okay?
Dream Cup?
That's the most famous swim competition among the nation's colleges.
A lot of previous athletes were selected from Dream Cup.
This is so important. Are you not worried by sending an intern like me?
If you treat yourself as an intern reporter, you'll remain in that position forever.
Understand? You can't wait for others to give you opportunities.
You need to fight for them yourself.
Teacher Sun, Director Liu just told me to inform you
that you don't need to go to this afternoon's Dream Cup press conference.
Why not?
Director Liu said that you're experienced, so it's pointless for you to go.
He's leaving this task to me so that I can gather more experience.
Tell me the truth.
Did Director Liu assign it, or are you just using him as an excuse?
Don't misunderstand. I begged Director Liu this morning. It took forever before he agreed.
I just knew it!
Fine, fine. You can go if you'd like.
Okay.
Look at how he finds opportunities!
Not only Xiao Cheng. This batch of intern reporters
are all pushing their way through
to fight for opportunities.
In order for one chance, they are all capable of turning into wolves!
Only you are willing to be a sheep.
In the end, you'll be eaten alive.
Enough, enough.
Let me teach you a trick.
This Dream Cup press conference is very important among the sports industry, yes?
Yes.
That means almost all the sports reporters will be there.
Do you know what that means?
That means if I don't go, I'll miss a great opportunity.
Use your brain, okay? It's the exact opposite!
This means that you found a great opportunity.
Think about it. So many reporters are there,
meaning those reporters who once chased after Qi Ruifeng are also there.
Understand?
Oh! You mean, while Qi Ruifeng is alone,
- I go have an exclusive interview with him?- Yes!
I'm not the one who said that.
You are a quick learner.

Teacher Sun is so impressive.
This place is usually filled with reporters, but none are here today.
It's really the best time to interview Qi Ruifeng.
Good luck, Yun Duo.
Hey, I'm sorry. The swimming stadium is not open to the public today.
I'm a reporter from QKVideo. I'm here for an interview.
Not even reporters are allowed. Our superiors ordered that all reporters
need to follow the normal procedure to apply for an interview.
Then, where can I go to apply?
The school's General Services Office.
Where's that?
From here, go straight, turn right, go straight, and turn right again.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
Sir, just let me in.
I already said that all reporters
must follow the normal procedure to apply for an interview.
I did!
But you told me to go to the General Services Office, but they pointed me to the Academic Office.
The Academic Office pointed me to the Announcements Office, and the Announcements Office pointed me to the Sports Management Center.
When I arrived at Sports Management Center, they told me to find you!
- I'm begging you. Just let me through.- I can't.
Don't, don't. I'm so tired, but I gained nothing from this trip.
Just tell me what I can do for you to let me in.
I'm really sorry. You really need to go to the General Services Office.
Go ask there.
At this rate, I won't get to interview Qi Ruifeng my whole lifetime.
Teacher Sun, I'm sorry. I've disappointed you.
I, Yun Duo, am still a small sheep.
No matter how hard I work, I won't become a wolf.
Really?
I worked so hard, and the heavens finally took pity on me. The door wasn't locked.
Why is nobody here?
Are they on a break?
Yun Duo! Why are you here?
Yun Duo, what's wrong?
Yun Duo!
Why do you keep rethinking that image?
Be careful!
Buddy, can you pass the ball back?
Aren't you a swimmer? Why are you also good at basketball?
Among the swimmers, I'm the best at basketball.
You're not modest at all.
What happened with you earlier?
Why did you run off without saying anything?
Am I really that scary?
I wasn't scared.
You suddenly appeared from the water and shocked me. My brain was blank,
so I ran outside. By the time I realized what I was doing, I was already there.
I wasn't trying to scare you. I was practicing holding my breath.
While I was underwater, I didn't even know you were there.
So you ran off because you were embarrassed?
You've seen me compete before.
At that time, I was also just wearing swim trunks.
That's not the same!
You weren't competing just now. You suddenly stood in front of me in only swim trunks,
and I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't even know where to look.
Don't laugh.
Seriously, don't laugh!
Don't laugh.
So you went through this whole process just to interview Qi Ruifeng?
That's right. Seriously, your school is so protective of you guys.
It's so hard to even get an interview.
This is all Head Coach Yuan's doing.
Since Qi Ruifeng won that gold medal, reporters have been running after us everyday.
Even our classes get disturbed, never mind our training.
You athletes need to take academic classes?
You are openly discriminating against athletes.
I'm not! It's so hard for you guys go to through difficult training everyday.
How do you have time for class? Won't you just all be asleep?
That's true for Qi Ruifeng, but not for me.
That means you have very good grades?
Average. When I was suspended four years ago from the swim team,
I had a lot of time for classes.
These four years, I've placed first three in all of my classes. I also got scholarships.
Thus, I'm not only the best basketball player of the swim team.
I'm also the best student of the swim team.
If you call me a "top scholar," I will humbly accept that compliment.
I realized that you're quite different from other swimmers.
You're also different from other reporters.
Of course! Because I'm an intern reporter.
You just said you want to interview Qi Ruifeng, right? I'll help you.
Later, just go along with my act.
No. I won't allow Qi Ruifeng accept any interviews.
Head Coach Yuan, are you rejecting it
because you're worried Qi Ruifeng won't think before he speaks
and say anything that comes to his mind?
Most importantly, everything's okay before he speaks, but after he does,
The jokes he makes of himself all go viral.
(in English) What is your top priority after graduation?
(in English) What?
(in English) What is your top priority after graduation?
- He's asking you what you plan to do after college graduation.- Oh!
(in English) I-I know. You see, this...
(in English) I... Bye... "Bye bye school" with me. Bye bye school.
(in English) I hope I...
I suddenly forgot.
How do you say "professional swimmer"?
If he doesn't know English, he shouldn't have used it.
He created an international joke of himself.
Stop watching. It's so embarrassing.
I won't let Qi Ruifeng accept any forms of interviews.
That's right.
For the dignity of all Chinese, it's best that Qi Ruifeng doesn't accept any interviews.
Coach, I know what you're worried about,
but after all, Qi Ruifeng is the swim captain of the South Physical Education College.
He can't avoid the media forever, so I...
Yun Duo is right. Instead of directly opposing it,
why not find a trustworthy reporter like Yun Duo
to begin teaching Qi Ruifeng how to face the media?
Head Coach Yuan, let Yun Duo have an exclusive interview with Qi Ruifeng.
In return, Yun Duo will regularly tutor Qi Ruifeng English.
After all, with Qi Ruifeng's capabilities, he will eventually enter international swimming competitions.
At that time, you wouldn't want
that "bye bye school" incident to happen again, okay?
Yes. Although I'm just an intern, I know that everything needs to be proven by evidence.
You say that Tang Yibai used drugs. Do you have proof?
Seeing how you defended Yibai last time,
I believe that you wouldn't exaggerate the truth and create false reporters.
Yun Duo wouldn't.
If you're willing to help tutor Qi Ruifeng in English,
this matter can be settled like this.
Thank you, Head Coach Yuan.
What? Yun Duo, you're going to be my English tutor?
Why? I can't?
Yes, of course you can.
As long as this tomboy isn't my English tutor, anybody will work.
But Yun Duo, you don't look like you're very good at English. Can you do it?
In order to get an exclusive interview with you, I'll have to do it, even if I can't.
But before then, I really want to know the extent
of your English knowledge, so that I can improve your weakest spots.
Let me see your tests.
- Give it!- You--
Sister Duo, the most impressive thing about Brother Feng is that he's bad at listening, speaking,
reading, and writing. There's nothing he's good at!
Qi Ruifeng, never mind your grammar. You didn't spell a single word correctly!
You!
Hey, don't be like this, Qi Ruifeng.
We're doing this for your own good. Sit down.
For my own good? I understand everything, Tang Yibai.
You're only wanting to use this opportunity to get closer to a certain person.
Don't think I don't know.
(in English) Leave me alone. I don't want to say any words (to you).
What did he say?
Ming Tian, tell me!
(in English) I don't know.
Lingye, you tell me!
"I don't want to speak to you."
What do you mean? What attitude is that?
It's "I don't want to speak to you."
Are you rebelling? You won't even listen to me anymore?
Brother Feng, don't be angry.
Brother Yibai just said "Leave me alone. I don't want to say any word (to you)."
In Chinese, it means "I don't want to talk to you."
Brother Feng, are you going to create another viral joke after your "bye bye school"?
Today, Qi Ruifeng and the others won't have time to cause troubles.
We female team can train in peace. Don't waste any time.
Let's begin now!
Okay!
Later, I will be here to inspect you. Don't be lazy.
Don't be lazy!
I am heading off to Hollywood. I found a specialized English tutor.
Waiting for you.
He misspelled such an easy word.

(in English) for im...
It's "improvement."
(in attempted English) "Impoment."
- No.- It's not?
It's "improvement."
Impo...
Don't shape your mouth like this.
Relax your mouth. That's right.
How about you read it as you write?
- Read it as I write?- Yes.
Okay. (in English) You still have a lot of room...
Tang Yibai, why are you here?
Teacher, I also have a question to ask you.
