[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 8 -
♫ This world has too many “excuse me’s”. ♫
♫ Are you and I together in it? ♫
I made a promise with that person,
that not only will I be this year's Dream Cup gold medalist,
I will also become the fastest male swimmer in the world.
♫ has recalled nostalgia before your eyes, ♫
♫ no matter how much time was spent, ♫
♫ it is merely a forgotten corner. ♫
If you really want to know why I gave you my goggles, there's one reason:
all these years, you were my first interviewer.
No matter what somebody is thinking,
his eyes will never lie.
♫ 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. ♫
No matter what a person is thinking,
his eyes will never lie.
♫ 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. ♫
I believe that after this incident, Tang Yibai also knows
to never befriend a reporter.
Yibai.
Here.
Are you okay after that disqualification rumor?
They were just rumors.
That's good. Although we're competing for the same event,
I was really worried you would be impacted by that issue.
Thanks for your care.
Why are you thanking me? We already promised
that we'll have a fair competition. The stronger will compete, and the other can't complain.
Yes. Fair competition. The stronger will compete, and the other can't complain.
No problem. Keep up with the good work.
Remember. I will never lose to you.
Alright. I'm getting back to workout.
Yun Duo's calling
Yun Duo!
Hello?
Why is it disconnected?
Why is she calling you again?
Does she want to meet up with you again, doesn't she?
Coach Wu, I can tell you later but please give back my phone first.
Yibai, there is nothing to gossip about.
Why do you have to get so close with a journalist?
Coach Wu, you are getting all these wrong. She is not only a journalist, but also a good friend to me.
Am I getting all these wrong?
What's up with you, Yibai? Now is the most critical time for you.
You can not get distracted at this moment.focusing and getting ready for the competition is your priority.
Trying to break through bottleneck. Anything else does not matter right now.
So I will not return this phone to you until the competition is over
to stop you from getting distracted.
Coach, can I just send a text message then instead?
Is Tang Yibai really upset at me
and not willing to be friend with me?
Big sister, why is my stuff out here?
Great, you're here. I'm sorry but I can't rent this place to you anymore.
This is your deposit. Take it.
You don't have to pay for this month's rent.
But this is so abrupt.
Our contract does not end until half year later.
Besides, it's so late now. Where do you want me to go?
My husband is divorcing me.
This is the only place left for me and my daughter.I'm afraid I can not rent this place to you anymore.
Otherwise we are going to be homeless.
What do you want us to do?
Please don't cry. We can talk this out.
You are kicking me out and I am not even crying.
What should we do? We don't want to live anymore.
We don't have other place to go anymore.
Alright. Alright. Please don't stop sobbing. I'm moving out.
I'm leaving right now. Ok?
We...
Looks like I have to call Cheng Mei for help.
- Hi, mom. -Duoduo.
Why are you calling you me now?
As a mom, I miss my daughter so I'm calling to check upon you.
Do I need a reason to call you?
What's wrong, Duoduo? How have you been lately?
How's work?
Good. Everything is good. I'm happy.
You're all alone by yourself. Take good care of yourself.
Work matters, but health can't be neglected as well.
Don't forget to eat just because of busy work.Ok?
Ok. I know. Stop nagging at me, mom.
-I'm good.-Alright, I will stop nagging.
By the way, do you receive what I mailed to you?
Duoduo, where are you now?
Why do I hear so many car noise in the background?
Don't tell me you're still out so late.
I'm hungry so I come to grab something to eat.I'm going back soon.
You better hurry up. It's so late now.
This is not safe for a girl.
I got it.
Duoduo, what's going on?
Are you crying?
No, I'm not. It's just the nasitis.
I'm all good, mom. I will head back soon.
Alright I'm hanging up. The battery is running out.
-Bye bye.-Duoduo?
Are you serious? I was just joking. Don't die on me.
Who is it?
Coach Wu, it's me, Yibai.
Coach Wu
Are you here for your phone?
Go back now. You have training tomorrow.
Coach
-Come in now.-Ok.
-Is this the one?-Yes.
Did I tell you I wouldn't give it back to you until the competition ends?
Coach, you can have my phone.
But can you let me send a message?
To Yun Duo, isn't it?
Just one.
Take a seat over there.
Yibai, there's something I meant to tell you.When I was an athlete,
just like you, there was a girl on my mind and she was a swimmer too.
Coach Wu, who was this girl?
It doesn't matter who she was. What matters is things are different now.
Back then, it was not allowed for us to date in the swimming team. But I did not listen.
I kept chasing after her because I thought I was all grownup and
mature. I did not think relationship would impact my athlete career.
I even told my I would turn it into a force.
To motivate myself.
So Coach, what happened with you and that girl?
I was wrong.
She directly got in the way of my performance.
Yibai, you should know this better than anybody else.
What matters the most for swimmers is to stay focus.
For me, she was all on my mind.
How could I not get distracted?
So in the end, I did not only lose her,
but also...
the most important competition in my life.
Yibai, as a professional swimmer, your career is short,
but you have a long life ahead of you.
You have to focus on yourself right now.
Every competition. Every training.
I don't want to see what happened to me happens to you.
With so much regrets.
Please don't take my nagging wrong.
Even though I love what I'm doing right now,
Coaching you. But I don't want you
to just be swimmer coach in a university in the future.
Do you understand?
You hang up on me every time before I finish my sentence. Come visit us during your break.
Your father and I both miss you.
Sovereign of the North lives up to his name.
I didn't expect he would swim so fast.
His acceleration power is every impressive.
Take a closer look.
Besides his acceleration power, Ouyang Heng...
is not only fast but also stable. He's flawless.
Since the beginning, he has been in the first position and no one surpasses him.
Go for it. Go for it. Go for it.
48”52
Captain, you're amazing.
Yangyang, go tell everyone it's time to assemble.
No problem, coach.
Attention please, assemble in front of the swimming pool in 30 seconds.
Today's the last day for joint training.
During the whole training, except one person's dumb deed,
everyone else has been great.
I believe everyone learns something from North Physical's team members.
Let's give them a round of applause
for their efforts and hard work during this joint training.
-Yun Duo?-Teacher Sun?
Yun Duo, what's wrong with you?
-Yun Duo, how come you're here? -Yesterday, I was kicked out of my apartment.
I didn't have anywhere to go, so I just stayed at the company.
Then why didn't you give me a call?
Don't even mention it. Yesterday, my phone was out of battery.
Teacher Sun, you don't need to worry. I won't cause trouble for the company.
I'll find a house as soon as possible. When I do, I'll move out immediately.
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday..
Hurry and eat.
I don't need it, I'll buy something for myself later.
You're still being stubborn? Just hurry up and eat.
If you're not going to eat, I'm going to throw it out.
No no no! Don't! That's such a waste!
Hurry up and eat.
Mentor, how's your house search going?
Do you need me to help you?
No thanks. I'll figure it out myself.
Yun Duo.
Eat slowly.
When you're done, make a trip over to South Physical with Lin Ze.
Check out if their team roster is out yet.
And while you're at it, see if there's any new and interesting news to report on.
What's wrong? Isn't South Physical your territory?
You look reluctant to go.
I'm not reluctant, Teacher Sun. As a reporter, I'll take care of my work professionally.
There's nowhere that I don't want to go to. When I'm done eating, I'll head over.
Alright, Mentor, take your time eating.
Ouyang.
Do a good job in the qualifiers. I don't want to see you absent from the finals.
I'll do a good job. Thanks for speaking up for me in front of the reporters.
I didn't do it for you, but for myself.
Actually, we've been tied together since four years ago.
I, Ouyang Heng, will thoroughly defeat you in front of everyone.
If you don't know what kind of status you have when going in,
then I'll go for you.
What do you mean?
Don't try to deny that Coach Wu's words had an effect on you.
Your eyes have already swollen to this state.
You wouldn't have cried all night because of that situation, right?
Who said I cried? My eyes are swollen because I didn't sleep properly last night.
Also, don't look down on me. I've always known what my status is.
I'm a reporter. I won't be affected by any of that.
Even in front of Tang Yibai, are you just a reporter?
What are you doing here again?
If you need something, talk to me. Let's go to my office.
This is a crucial time period. Don't affect his training.
Coach Wu, I originally came here in search of you this time.
Has the list for your school's participants in the Dream Cup been released yet?
Let's talk in my office.
Brother Lin Zi,
do you know something?
Do you know why, despite clearly having seen you,
Yun Duo didn't say a thing to you, but instead left with Coach Wu?
Because when this foolish girl found out that you'd be able to participate in the competition,
she came over to congratulate you and encourage you.
But she ran into Coach Wu at the door and was given a severe scolding.
He said that the two of you weren't suited to be friends.
He also said that her status as a reporter would affect you,
so she should stay away from you in the future.
Actually, I think Coach Wu was right. The two of you shouldn't be friends.
Not only will her status as a reporter affect you,
your status as an athlete will eventually hurt her.
What do you mean?
Don't you know?
She's obviously just an intern right now,
but in order to protect you, she's always getting into arguments with the company,
and she refuses to put out any news that isn't beneficial to you.
If this continues on, you'll still be able to compete,
but she will very likely lose her job because of you.
Let me ask you. As your friend,
is it worth it for her to sacrifice so much?
Mentor.
Mentor, are you still house searching?
How about I help arrange a place for you to stay?
No, thanks. I'll find my own place to live.
Moreover, with your weirdo personality, who knows what kind of strange place you'd find for me.
You're still being stubborn. When you end up sleeping on the streets, don't come to me then.
Alright, then take your time searching. I'm heading out.
You're still here this late?
You too?
I just finished work.
Gosh, it's already 9.
Cheng Mei, are you free now?
I am.
Are you inviting me out right now?
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
Right now, you can't even beat yourself from four years ago,
let alone beat me.
But I'm your coach, so I have the duty to tell you
that this is the most crucial moment in your athletic career.
I don't want to see your concentration on the competition
be affected by anyone or anything.
I understand. Coach Wu, I won't—
If you know how the severity of the situation,
then you wouldn't waste your time on that girl!
Don't you know?
She's obviously just an intern right now,
but in order to protect you, she's always getting into arguments with the company,
and she refuses to put out any news that isn't beneficial to you.
If this continues on, you'll still be able to compete,
but she will very likely lose her job because of you.
I'm sure that the next time Teacher Sun sends me to South Physical for an interview,
it won't be because of Qi Ruifeng or anyone else, but for you.
So you have to do your best to become the world's fastest male swimmer.
Ming Tian, let me borrow your phone.
I can't, Yibai. I'm battling a boss right now.
I'll just use it for a second to send a text.
Yibai, who are you sending a text to?
I...
Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything.
Hi, Auntie. Right.
The hairstyle I had last time looked especially great.
- You saw it, didn't you?- Qi Ruifeng, let me borrow your phone.
Wait, I'm on the phone right now.
Right, you saw that hairstyle, right?
- Next time, I'll—- Let me borrow it.
I'm on the phone with your mom right now.
Why are you calling my mom?
She called me to say
that you weren't picking up your phone when she called you,
and you didn't respond to her texts either.
She also told me that it's been many days since you've been home.
If you don't go back soon, you might as well never return.
I'll let my mom know that I have a call to make. Hand it over.
What's with you? Wait a sec.
Auntie, Yibai won't let me talk to you.
He even told me to give him the phone so he could call someone else.
Right. Okay.
Tang Yibai, your mom told me to tell you this.
She said that you didn't answer her calls or reply to her texts,
and you even want to use my phone to call someone else.
Which girl is it who's even more important than your mom?
I've got it.
There's no doubt. It must be Yun—
Qi Ruifeng, I don't care what you say to my mom,
but you'd better not tell her about Yun Duo.
If you tell her, I'm done with you.
Why?
Where are you going so late at night?
What's it got to do with you?
Auntie, I'm still here.
I just told him.
But he didn't listen. He just went out.
I don't know what he's up to.
Okay, I've got it. I'll tell him
to go home and see you guys.
Okay. Thank you, Auntie.
Auntie, bye bye.
Where's he going so late?
Teacher Sun.
Yun Duo, you still haven't left?
You can't be planning on staying at the office again tonight?
Yeah. But don't worry, Teacher Sun. I'm searching for a place now, and when I find one, I'll move immediately.
Alright. Hurry and get out of here.
Yun Duo, don't be mistaken. I'm not rushing you.
I'm tell you this for your own good.
The security guard told me
that today, the company hired a cleaning company to do some pest control in the office.
Those chemical fumes are very harmful to the body.
I suggest that you must find some place to stay tonight.
Just to get by for a bit.
Tonight...
The world is so big, so why isn't there a place for me to stay?
What's this?
I helped Yun Duo find a place to stay. These are the keys and address.
I want you to help me give them to her.
You invited me out today just for this?
I have another favor to ask of you.
You have to tell her that you found the apartment for her, and it has nothing to do with me.
As for the rent, you can tell her not to worry about it.
The landlord isn't in need of money, so she can pay whatever she was paying before.
I don't get it.
Since you've already found the place for her, why don't you tell her about it yourself?
Right now, she's angry at me because of the Tang Yibai situation.
If I tell her about it, she definitely won't accept.
But if you told her, she definitely wouldn't have any problems with it.
What is it?
Do you like Yun Duo?
Why would you say that?
Don't be mistaken. Helping strangers with Cupid matters and hiding it from my friend
isn't my style.
Okay. Then if I tell you the truth, will you help me out?
Is it too rude to seek her out so suddenly?
Who are you looking for?
Excuse me, does Yun Duo live here?
- Yun Duo?- Yes.
She's my friend, and I'm looking for her.
You can stop looking. She doesn't live here anymore.
She moved out two days ago.
Thank you.
Please come again.
Hello.
Could you check out the cheapest room here?
Could you please show me your ID?
Just wait.
Just wait a moment.
Where's my wallet?
I can't find my wallet..
I admit. The only reason why I came to QK Video is because of Yun Duo.
So, right now you are admitting that,
because you like Yun Duo, you came to our company?
I didn't come to pursue her,
but to repay her.
Repay her?
Not long ago, I was met with my life's greatest blow.
Doctor! How is Sang's condition?
The patient had lost consciousness for a time,
but we were just able to bring her back to a stable condition.
That's when I thought I had lost everything.
But when I was about to give up on my hopes and my life,
It was her, who appeared before my eyes.
Hello?
How about.. How about I send you to the hospital?
It was Yun Duo who pulled me out of the dark and saved me.
The doctor said that because you were excessively drinking,
and you didn't properly eat, so it lead to gastric ulcer.
That's why you fainted.
Here. Eat something and gain some strength.
I don't know what kind of bad things you've gone through,
but no matter what happens, you still have to eat properly!
Because eating itself is already a good thing!
Take this money.
Go and buy something to eat, however, don't go around and buy more alcohol!
When you're done eating, you should rest. I won't bother you anymore.
Oh right. Since you look like you're in decent shape,
you should go and search for a job. Don't drink anymore alcohol!
It's bad for your body and your family members will worry about you.
Good luck! Bye!
Hello, about that girl that sent me to this hospital..
Do you know her name?
Or, do you have her contact information?
Sorry. When she came, she didn't leave her name or her contact information.
Thank you.
I wanted to properly thank her. But I couldn't find her.
However, I met her again by coincidence.
But, by the time I met her again, she didn't recognize me anymore.
Let alone that she'd once helped me.
So I thought of every way,
to get close to her and protect her secretly.
[Yun Duo]
Whether you want to help or not, it doesn't matter.
But at the very least, don't tell Yun Duo about this situation.
Okay, seeing that you really want to repay Yun Duo,
I'll help you out. Take me to see the place.
What? What if the house you found for Yun Duo is lacking?
How could I recommend it to her?
Why isn't she picking up her phone?
Cheng Mei, if you got this voicemail, call me back.
But in my eyes, you'll always be a small person that needs to be protected.
Be careful!
Maybe Tang Yibai is just ignoring me.
But at such an unlucky time , I really want to hear his voice.
I want to tell him what's been happening recently.
Yun Duo already moved,
yet she didn't tell me.
Maybe what Brother Lin Zi said was right.
She really did take in mind what the coach had said.
What's wrong with me?
Why is it that at such a bad time, I really want to see him?
Why is it that in my heart,
I really want to see her.
