[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 4 -
I heard that the boys team stopped their practice because Captain Qi Ruifeng had to be tutored in English.
I also heard a version of that story;
that Coach Yuan didn't want a repeat of the "bye-bye school" incident,
so she specifically found someone to tutor Qi Ruifeng in English.
I also heard that the person tutoring Qi Ruifeng is the reporter called Yun Duo.
- Yeah.- And this Yun Duo's skills aren't ordinary.
She has the entire boys team under her control!
Exactly. Someone as narcissistic as Qi Ruifeng...
Besides our captain, I've never seen him close with any other girl before.
Plus, he only casually greets the members on our team.
This time it's different.
He acts so close with that female intern.
I suspect that Qi Ruifeng likes that reporter
and all the members of the boy's team know.
They're probably trying to push the two together.
It's already this late and you're still chatting?
You're not going to practice? You three, today your training is doubled.
- Captain.. - If you say another word, I'll keep adding more.
And the rest of you, stop being lazy. Whoever is caught being lazy will be punished.
Turn left!
We're going to run. Go!
You still have a lot of room...
Why are you here Tang Yibai?
- Teacher, I also have a question to ask you. - Which one?
- It's—- Wait a minute.
Tang Yibai, aren't you a top student? How can you have something you don't understand?
Who says a stop student doesn't have room to learn more?
- Teacher—-Wait.
Yun Duo is my English teacher.
"This is mine," do you understand?
Qi Ruifeng, I think—
What do you mean? Didn't you ask Yun Duo to teach me English?
In order to return your good intentions, I am working very hard to learn English.
You should stop interrupting us. We are now going to study hard.
Leave my personal English teacher alone.
Teacher, can you stop him from interrupting us?
Because he interrupted us I just forgot what I learned.
Then Tang Yibai if you have any questions write them down and I will help you after I'm done teaching Qi Ruifeng.
Okay. Okay.
You're very right. Then, I won't bother you guys anymore.
Teacher, I forgot how to say this again. How do you say this?
"Improvement.“
Oh, "improvement“.
Teacher, I forgot it again. "Improvement."
- Okay. Thank you, Teacher. - Next question.
Qi Ruifeng.Qi Ruifeng.
At this time, why is there only Sister Yangyang here?
Usually there would be a lot of people lining up.
- Hey, Sister Yangyang. - Qi Ruifeng.Qi Ruifeng.Qi Ruifeng.
But Yun Du is my personal English teacher.
"This is mine."
I now know why only Sister Yangyang is here.
Who can bear to be with her for more than a minute?
Did you see the look in her eyes when she looked at us? I thought she was going to kill me.
Look. My hands are still shaking.
Mine are too.
We should have went to look for Sister Yun Duo to tutor us in English.
Thankfully, Sister Yun Duo is here. If not, I'd think all women in the world are as manly as Sister Yangyang.
I feel the same.
You actually don't have to walk me home.
How could I do that? A young woman walking home alone this late at night is too dangerous.
What if something happens, then what will you do?
I mean, I am at my front door so nothing should happen.
No way. I think that when you send a woman home, you have to watch them and make sure they get into their home safely.
Why does it seem like you often walk girls to their houses?
No.
You are the first.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Nothing. It's just I feel like you are a little weird today.
Why are you wearing glasses? You usually don't wear them.
You're talking about these?
What do you see now?
I see you...
No. I mean when you look from the glasses what do you realize?
This is just a frame. There are no lens.
That's right. I'm not wearing them because I'm near-sighted.
Then why are you wearing them?
I think no matter what someone is thinking in his heart,
his eyes will never lie.
What does that mean?
I was worried that I am too charming, and that eyes my might wander.
What if all the girls think I'm flirting with them?
So, to prevent any misunderstandings, I use these as a disguise.
I think I now know why you and Qi Ruifeng are best friends.
You guys are both very narcissistic.
I'm just joking!
You should get some rest.
Then you should get some rest, too.
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.
Then be careful on the way. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
When did I become so childish? Doing these kinds of things.
Looks like I need to stay away from Qi Ruifeng.
"Luckily. Oath. Oath."
"Imagine."
It hasn't even been that long since you had dinner and you're eating again?
And memorizing vocabulary so diligently.
Why weren't you this dedicated when I was your tutor? Why are you a completely changed person?
Of course, there is a difference.
When you teach me English you smell sweaty.
But Yun Duo is different!
She smells so nice.
Do you understand? That's what a girl is.
Where am I smelly? Where! Let me tell you Qi Ruifeng,
I always take a shower before I went to teach you.
You took a shower? How did I not know?
Let me tell you, there is another difference.
When Yun Duo was teaching me, her tone was so tender.
She says, "Ruifeng, it's wrong. This part is wrong. It should be like this."
However, you on the other side, can't wait to start kicking and beating me up.
It almost killed me. Now that I'm thinking about it, my heart still hurts.
What are you doing?
Okay. Whatever you want.
You're just going to leave? Tomboy..
I'm not smelly. I smell really good.
Smelly Qi Ruifeng. Stupid Qi Ruifeng. That's just nonsense.
Idiot.
Tang Yibai!
Playboy, did you send Yun Duo home or go on a date?
It's so late. I've already had my midnight snack. What are you doing here?
Quit being so pesky.
It's all your fault. Getting tutored until this late.
You dragged it out this late. Is it appropriate for a girl to go home so late?
I was just helping you.
If I don't push late, how will you get the chance to take her home?
Honestly, did you really only take Yun Duo home?
What are you saying? Of course, I only took her home.
No way. During these times, there should be a kiss goodbye.
Or at least an intimate hug or something like holding hands.
But you didn't do anything and came back?
I can't be bothered with you.
Why is the pool light on?
It should be Chen Ziqiang.
Recently, at night after practice ends, he always remains behind to practice the butterfly stroke.
Butterfly stroke?
Isn't he specialized in free-style?
Yeah. After you competed with him last time, he's always practicing butterfly now.
Maybe he doesn't think he has a chance anymore in freestyle. You're back, after all.
In order to compete in this year's Dream Cup,
he still works his best and practices.
Since we're seniors, this is our last chance to compete in the Dream Cup.
No wonder he would work so hard.
But Yun Duo is my personal English teacher.
"This is mine."
Qi Ruifeng.
Every single time you tutor me, you smell like sweat.
But Yun Duo is different.
She smells so nice!
Smells so good.
Xiang Yangyang.
Why are you eating meat so early in the morning? Who are you trying to scare?
Look at how much oil is on your mouth. Wipe it. How are you a girl?
Whether or not I act like a girl is none of your business.
It doesn't concern me. But if you can't marry someone, don't look for me.
Let me tell you as a best friend,
girls should be cute.
No man would like you if you always act like a tomboy.
Why are you up so early today? Right now you should be sleeping.
People usually need to wake you up several times. Have you changed your ways?
Let me tell you. Yun Duo is going to interview me later.
I didn't even play any games last night. I went to bed early to get in my beauty sleep.
I got up early today to make myself up.
Take a look. Don't I look more handsome and dashing today? Don't I?
It's not your first interview.
Why do you care so much about Yun Duo's interview?
Of course, it's different.
How is it different?
Yun Duo is my good friend. Of course, I have to prepare diligently.
Only friends?
It's not entirely as simple as just being good friends.
Oh, yeah. Didn't I tell you that you act like a tomboy? You can actually learn from Yun Duo.
Just like her name, she gives off a delicate feeling that makes others want to protect her. ("Yun Duo" means "cloud")
Her voice is nice and she looks good. That's what you call a girl.
But she also has a strong sense of justice.
She looks so delicate, and yet she defended Yibai in front of so many people.
Those contradicting characteristics makes her so charming.
Pretty cute. I like it.
I'm done eating.
You're leaving?
What is this? What's wrong?
She's mad again?
Did I say something wrong?
Yun Duo, what are you doing?
I'm preparing to interview you.
Who agreed to you interviewing me?
Qi Ruifeng, I already tutored you in English.
And now you're telling me you're not going to accept my interview? Are you playing me?
Qi Ruifeng stop teasing Yun Duo.
I'm not teasing her. I'm being serious. I'm not interested in being interviewed alone.
But if you're here to interview South Physical's mens swim team,
I'd be very happy to, as the team captain, accept your interview.
You... You're saying not to interview you solely, but instead interview the entire team?
Yeah. What do you think?
I think that idea is pretty good.
Actually, I think that would be more meaningful than interviewing you alone.
This way, we can let everyone know that, aside from individual merits, team spirit is important in swimming as well.
Qi Ruifeng, it's my first time seeing you act like a captain ever since I met you.
That's quite considerate of you. You're more mature than I expected. Of course—
Who said that I'm doing this for the reason you stated?
- It's not? - Of course not.
I just think that an individual interview will only show that I'm very handsome and cool.
But everyone already knows that.
If there are supporting roles, like Yibai and Lingye, to serve as a foil,
my brilliant charm will be better emphasized.
If I could, I'd kick you right now.
All right. Let's head to the pool for the interview.
- I'll help you carry your equipment.- No, it's okay!
It's okay. I'll help you.
Let's go. Lingye, take this.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Okay. You guy's don't have to drop me off, I can leave myself. You all worked hard today.
Giving our fans some perks is a must.
- Oh, yeah, Yun Duo. Let's add each other WeChat. - Okay you can scan my code.
Okay.
This is not right. You usually don't add girls on WeChat.
What's up today?
I can add whoever I want to. Do you have anything against that?
Okay, okay. Adding Yun Duo is good. It's great.
Everyone, let's all add Yun Duo.
Wait. Yun Duo, your username is Yi Duo Bai Yun? (meaning "A White Cloud")
Yeah. What's wrong?
Your name and Yibai's name. White Cloud couple.
You within me, me within you. Lovers stuck together like glue.
You're getting better with your idioms.
I understand now. You like Tang Yibai.
I don't. It's not like that.
What are you talking about?
Nothing much. We're talking about how I'm handsome and cool I am,
but Yun Duo likes Yibai and not me?
She has no taste.
Yun Duo, you like Tang Yibai?
Yibai is pretty good. You have good taste.
No. Yibai is pretty good, but I am the best.
I think every girl would like Tang Yibai. Who would like you?
There are tons of girls who are infatuated with me! I'm focused on swimming, so I don't have time to trifle with you.
Your fans should all go check out their eyes. Maybe there is something wrong with their eyesight.
Who has problems with their eyesight? You're the one with eyesight problems!
It's not like I like you.
What are you trying to say?
Just jump down right now.
I think compared to your name, mine is the most normal.
After days of hard work, I finally got an interview with Qi Ruifeng. I can report back to my boss now!
So there is only Qi Ruifeng in your eyes?
What? Are you jealous?
Yeah. My heart hurts so much.
So, Mr. Tang Yibai, will you accept my exclusive interview now?
Okay.
Tang Yibai, as an athlete, what's your greatest dream?
I want to be the fastest male swimmer in the world.
What's with your expression? Do you think I'm overestimating my abilities?
No, no. Of course not.
I never thought that you would give yourself such a big dream.
If you're going to dream, of course, you have to dream bigger.
But that's my end goal. My goal at present
is to pass the preliminaries for the Dream Cup, and then to become the champion.
Of course, that's not a simple thing. There are still obstacles to overcome.
Obstacles? What kind of obstacles?
For example, my turning speed isn't fast enough. I have to do better.
What factors do you think are affecting your turning speed?
My legs are a little too long.
What kind of answer is that?
It's really because my legs are long, which affects my turning speed and adds drag force.
I think it's pretty bothersome considering the fact that I can't make them shorter.
When it comes to your diet, is there anything you need to pay special attention to?
Don't eat out.
You like to drink pomegranate juice?
Yes. I think it has a particular taste. It's good.
Pictures are a must for an interview. I'll have to back them up later, too.
Then let's go.
Let's go.
I'm sure that the next time Teacher Sun sends me to South Physical for an interview,
it won't be for Qi Ruifeng or anyone else, but for you.
So you have to work hard and become the fastest male swimmer in the world.
I will.
My bus is here so I'm going to leave first. Goodbye!
Goodbye.
So adorable.
What am I doing? Why am I foolishly smiling at his picture?
Where did you go? Practice time already began 30 minutes ago.
Coach Wu, I went to drop off a friend,
so I'm kind of late. I'm sorry.
Friend? It's that reporter called Yun Duo?
Yes. She just finished doing an interview with Qi Ruifeng so I sent her to the bus stop.
This is Qi Ruifeng's business. What does it have anything to do with you?
Yibai, I don't have any rights to interfere with your private life,
but I am your coach. I have to tell you.
Right now, you are at the most crucial moment of your training career.
I hope that no one, or anything
will distract you from practicing for the competition.
I know that. Coach Wu, you can relax.
If you know how important it is then you wouldn't waste your time on that girl!
Yibai, in a competition, the difference between winning and losing could be a few milliseconds.
When you were arranging her interview,
or sending her onto that bus, somebody is working his heart out,
trying to close that distance of a few milliseconds.
How could you think that you have the time and energy to waste on other problems?
[QKVideo]
What do you think is the factor that affects the speed of your turn?
My legs are a little long.
Is this the South Physical swimming team exclusive interview video you submitted?
It is. This is the interview video that I prepared to submit.
I feel like the video's content isn't formal enough.
This interview's topic seems too playful.
There also isn't much about the Dream Cup. Instead of being a report on sports,
why does it feel more like a variety show?
But when you closely look at it, it's pretty interesting.
We can allow the audience to see university athletes and their private lively youth.
After all, we aren't losing anything because of news from a different point of view.
Okay. Make this interview today's main special topic.
- Oh, right, Yun Duo. - Yes? - Don't forget to especially stress the words "exclusive."
Okay. Director Liu, don't worry. I won't forget.
Team meeting!
This year's Dream Cup competition is coming up soon.
There are some new students who don't know the competition's rules. So I will explain them here.
The Dream Cup's competition starts on the second semester every year. In total, there are three rounds.
The first round is a district elimination round. All the participating colleges will split into four groups.
Each team will only take the top 4 swimmers to advance to the second round of teams.
In the second round, the teams' stop four swimmers will compete against the other teams to accumulate points.
They will represent the school against three other teams for a total of 3 matches in the competition.
Every match will allow you to earn points. You will earn 3 points if you place first.
2 points for second place, and 1 point for third place.
When all the points are added up, the top 8 will advance to the final round.
You are making it too complicated. I've won a medal before, but even I can't understand what you're saying.
Everyone listen up properly. It doesn't matter what this competition's rules are,
our South Physical only has one rule, and that is to win!
Okay!
Doesn't matter if it's a point race, a dual match, or finals, our South Physical's one rule is to do what?
Win. Win. Win.
When is the soonest we can meet North Physical?
What's wrong? You already want to compete with them?
Yibai, don't be anxious.
If you want to go against North Physical, then go and place first for the district elimination round.
Based on my observations, this year's Dream Cup competitors,
are stronger than ever before. You can't belittle any opponent.
If you belittle your opponents, never mind North Physical.
You might not even pass the first round.
Coach, then hurry and announce the name list so that we can begin training.
Don't be anxious. This year, I'm planning to announce the list
after the combined training of the North and South Physical Education Colleges.
Tomorrow, the North and South physicals' combined training session will officially begin.
In this training session, according to each person's performance,
I will determine the list of competitors for this year's Dream Cup.
If somebody doesn't perform well,
even if he was a gold medalist last year, I will not add him to the list of competitors.
Okay. I'm done talking so go practice.
Okay. Let's go.
Why are you so happy? You're only fifth.
You're very far from the first two.
As a professional reporter, you need to have more control of your emotions.
It's my first time being complimented by Director Liu. I'm so happy, Teacher Sun.
Don't be too happy too early. Director Liu finally has a good impression of you.
You need to follow up your victory with more victories! Your opportunity is here:
Dream Cup is about to begin.
This is the most important annual contest of the swimming circle.
Seize this opportunity and perform well.
Do you hear me? Keep it up!
Okay, Teacher Sun. I will do my best.
I feel like I'm suffocating. I hate this time of year.
I don't understand why our school hosts it every year.
Hey, Tang Yibai.
Their school's training equipment aren't as advanced as our school's.
They also aren't as good as us. Who gives them the right to train with us?
In my opinion, in South Physical, other than Qi Ruifeng,
the others' lack of swimming skills are quite embarrassing.
What's wrong with you South Physical? Are you running out of athletes?
You even brought Tang Yibai back?
- What do you want?- I'm South Physical's male swim team captain, Qi Ruifeng. Who are you?
I don't care who you are. You can mock me,
but you can't mock my team members and South Physical.
Enough!

Long time no see.
What's wrong? You'll only greet Yibai?
- Xiao Feng.- Don't call me that. We're not close.
Captain Ouyang of North Physical,
I've long heard your famous name. Seeing that you're here today,
I will have mercy on the people behind you.
It's fine if you practice on my territory, but keep watch over your teammates' mouths.
Say that again.
I will take care of my own teammates. I also ask that you take care of yourself.
Don't worry. After all, the point of the combined training is to promote friendly competition.
I'm looking forward to seeing which of us is better.
Tang Yibai, can I have a talk with you?
Do you still remember
that after every training session in high school,
we would come play basketball?
I remember.
Back then, you never once beat me.
That was the past. It may be different now.
Really?
Tang Yibai,
I didn't come here today to reminisce upon the past.
Instead, I'm here to tell you that I'm a different person now.
No matter if it's on the basketball court or in the pool,
you can't win against me again.
Ouyang, wait.
How's Little One?
You have no right to ask this question.
You have no right to care about her.
♫ This world has too many “excuse me’s”. ♫
♫ Are you and I together in it? ♫
♫ I’m still waiting for your result. ♫
♫ I won’t make too much small talk. ♫
♫ Even if my brand new self ♫
♫ has recalled nostalgia before your eyes, ♫
♫ no matter how much time was spent, it is merely a forgotten ♫
♫ corner. ♫
♫ I’ve read it word by word. I understand the reason all too well. ♫
♫ People have come to persuade me, saying that ♫
♫ you don’t belong to me. ♫
♫ The final result isn’t that we are together. Instead, it’s a meaningless vortex. ♫
♫ This scattering and disappearing plot is mocking me. ♫
♫ How about you stay silent and listen to me? No matter how much is said, don’t be sad. ♫
♫ No need to put up the act that you will calmly face the consequence. ♫
♫ Just pretend like you never came. ♫
♫ The final result is that it once belonged to you, and you once fearlessly loved me. ♫
♫ Once you’ve laughed, cried, made a ruckus, and accommodated, the story has reached its ending. ♫
♫ I’d rather by a passerby. At the very least, it doesn’t concern me. ♫
♫ I’m waiting for the seasons to change. The next season will bring more alternations. ♫
♫ I’d rather that you never came. ♫
Are you still thinking about Ouyang?
I don't care what Ouyang said to you, but listen up:
It's pointless to think about the past.
As swimmers, we only have the present.
I know.
I'm glad you know. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal.
You always say you'll treat, but you never once paid.
Stop talking so much.
- Enjoy.- Thank you.
Are you sure we'll have dinner here?
Of course! Today was the first time ever that your report was broadcast.
We need to eat a good meal in celebration. Also, I have this.
It's my gift to you. Here.
You have a present for me?
For this report, you pulled so many all-nighters.
If you sit in front of the computer too much, you'll grow old quickly.
This is very good. I've tried it before; it's made from a unique formula.
You treat me so well.
Of course.
If I also say that I'll treat you to this meal, will you think I'm even better?
Why do you treat me so well?
But you also...
What about me? It's just spaghetti. Is it such a big deal?
Plus, after you become an official reporter, you need to treat me to a more expensive meal.
Definitely! The favor of a single meal needs to be repaid many times over.
Let's eat.
But our company is too cruel.
They only keep two out of thirteen reporters.
The chances of becoming an official reporter is too slim.
Yun Duo, you're at it again. Don't say such pessimistic words.
We will definitely pass the internship together.
Think about it. All companies lack talents.
If we're good enough, we'll surely succeed!
No matter what, I have the feeling that we will become official reporters together.
Let's work hard together to become official reporters!
Cheers.
But after we become official reporters,
I want to apply for a transfer from the sports sector to the finance sector.
Finance sector?
We were in college for so long together. I didn't know that you were interested in finance news.
I'm not interested in finance news. I'm...
interested in a person.
Who is it?
Have you heard about the legendary Eastern Buffett, the stocks-god James Lin?
Stocks-god James Lin?
Who's that?
You don't know him?
Seven years ago, he began his career in Wall Street. He's known as the golden stock trader.
His taste is so unique that he has never failed in an investment. His success rate is 100%.
He's so magical!
But for some reason, he suddenly disappeared four years ago.
Nobody was able to find him. It's super mysterious.
My dream is to one day personally meet him.
I think that James Lin is very talented and capable, but it's not important.
Most importantly, he's super attractive, right? Otherwise, how could you be so obsessed with him?
What nonsense are you saying? Am I, Cheng Mei, such a shallow person?
You're not shallow.
But you're also right. He indeed is very handsome. Let me find a picture.
Look! It's him. Handsome, right?
It's such a blurry picture, but you say he's handsome? This is true love.
Of course! Even if he's in front of me
as a pile of ashes, I can recognize him immediately.
Can I join?
It's you! What a coincidence.
This world is so small. I can't believe I'd meet you here.
Are you here to eat?
Yes. I was just busy with something, so I'm here to eat alone.
- You're alone?- Yes.
Then, eat with us! Come on.
Okay, great.
This is great.
I can repay you today. Wait a moment.
Waitress! The menu, please.
Thank you.
What would you like to order? Pick anything. I'll treat.
I'll give it my all. I'll explain it to you later.
Also, let me introduce her to you.
This is Cheng Mei, my college classmate. Now, we're both intern reporters at QKVideo.
Cheng Mei, he's the benefactor I told you about previously. He found my lost wallet.
He's called...
I haven't asked you for your name yet, right?
I'm called Lin Zi.
Yes, yes, yes. He's called...
