[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 9 -
Thank you.
So the reason why you never responded to my texts was because Coach Wu took your phone?
Yeah. Coach Wu wanted me to concentrate on practice.
Thank goodness. I thought you were ignoring me because you were mad at me.
Why did you think that?
Because when our website put out that kind of article, it attracted a lot of attention
and affected you negatively. I would completely understand if you were mad at me.
What kind of logic is that? Do you not have any faith in me?
It's not that I don't have any faith in you, it just I don't have any faith in me.
You are an athlete. Being friends with a reporter is originally not a good thing.
I was worried that us being friends would make things difficult for you.
You helped me block so many negative articles. Your boss must have scolded you a lot for that.
I'm just doing what I think is right. Getting yelled by my boss is nothing.
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's nothing. Didn't I say already that I'm going to live with Cheng Mei. I'm just waiting for her call right now.
But what happens if she doesn't answer your call? Are you going to live out here for the night?
Probably not.
You don't need to worry about me. It's getting pretty late so you should go back and get some rest.
Follow me.
Come, come, come.
We're here.
This is...
Our male dorm.
I know. But why did you bring me here?
Didn't you have no place to stay for the night.
Don't tell me you're suggesting I stay here?
I am a girl. Staying at a male dorm isn't right.
It's fine. Our team thinks of all girls as guys.
No.
Stop playing and get some rest.
There's practice tomorrow morning. I'm going to come back and check later.
Let's go. It's fine.
Yes! Killed another boss.
Yibai, how did you end up bringing Sister Duo back here?
Ohh!
Yibai, do you need me to leave? Or maybe, I can put on a love song for you,
and prepare some candles and roses?
- Ming Tian.- What are you saying right now?
I brought Yun Duo over because her landlord kicked her out and she has nowhere to stay.
So that's how it is. Yun Duo, make yourself at home.
Have a seat anywhere.
Your dorm room is really clean. I thought boys' dorms were all really messy.
That's because we have Yibai. In the male dormitory,
he was voted as the best roommate.
Best roommate?
He's a neat freak, so whenever he sees anything out of place, he goes to clean it up.
That's why everyone says, "In a home, it's essential to have Tang Yibai; the cockroaches and mice will say bye bye."
Get out of here.
It looks more like Tang Yibai is the best cleaner here.
Well, that's accurate.
Because Yibai is very clean in our dorm,
so we gave him the messiest person as his dorm mate.
-Who is the messiest? -Who else can there be?
Who stole my clothes again? I have no clothes to wear now.
Who is it? What happened?
What happened?
-What happened? -I think I heard someone scream.
-Why would they scream for no reason? -Nothing, Nothing.
Let's go.
Tang Yibai.
Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai!
What happened?
Why was there a girl's voice?
Coach Wu, it was Qi Ruifeng before.
Qi Ruifeng?
That's right. While he was showering, he saw a cockroach.
-So he ended up screaming and running around, begging Brother Yibai to protect him. -Yep.
That's not right. Qi Ruifeng is a man, how can he scream like that.
Coach Wu, it really is Brother Feng.
His voice is gender neutral. It's hard to tell if it's from a guy or girl.
I've even misheard it a few times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah Coach. I'm really like that. Why don't you listen and see.
Yibai! There's a cockroach! I'm scared! Protect me!
Coach, see.
Then the other one?
The other one was Ming Tian.
-Ming Tian? -He's right. It was me.
Before when Brother Feng came out, he also scared me.
So I just-
Okay, okay, okay.
Look at how late it is. Stop playing around.
Get some rest.
Yes Coach Wu.
Hurry, go lock the door.
-Are you okay? -I couldn't breathe.
It's okay, it's okay.
Yun Duo, do you want to look some more?
Hurry up and put something on already.
Nowadays, even when you pay the rent for a room, you can still get kicked out.
Sister Duo. Your life is quite marvel.
Okay. Seeing that you and Brother Feng are best friends,
I'll accept you for the night!
Wait Ming Tian, is this your dorm?
Brother Feng, what's the difference between what's yours and what's mine?
No need. I'm going to stay for a little while. After my friend calls, I'll leave.
It's already so late, and there's still no news from her, she's probably asleep.
I think you shouldn't wait anymore, just stay here for the night.
-How is that okay? -Tang Yibai,
I think you're a bit too direct. Keeping a girl in here isn't good, right?
I can't even bear to look anymore.
What nonsense are you guys saying?
Yun Duo is going to live here alone, I'm going with you guys.
What? Four people in 2 beds? How does that work?
With your sleeping posture, I don't even avoid you. What are you complaining for?
I'm going to sleep naked, do you want to sleep with me?
Ming Tian hurry up and bring him out.
-Ming Tian. Don't you dare. -Hurry up! -You..!
I oppose. That's not-
You value your lover more than your friends! Tang Yibai I'm telling you! You little! Ming Tian!
Yun Duo, get some rest.
There are new bed and blanket covers over there, feel free to change them.
Okay.
He's too loud when he sleeps.
-Good bye.-Good bye.
That's the situation.
So tonight, we're going to have to trouble you Lingye.
It's up to Ming Tian.
Lingye is trying to say that I'm his dorm mate,
so he wants us to decide together.
I think this is just small stuff so it's okay. Lingye shouldn't have any problems.
But...
But what?
Lingye is thinking about how us four are going to divide the bed.
This guy, he needs to think clearly about what he's saying before he speaks.
That's right.
But Ming Tian, are you Lingye's translator?
He only said 2 words, and you understand what he is trying to say?
No, Lingye is pretty clear on what he is trying to say.
How about this, Lingye
today you and I will share a bed. Ming Tian will sleep with Qi Ruifeng.
How about this. Ming Tian you sleep with me,
and Lingye, you sleep with Qi Ruifeng.
Brother Yibai, don't think that I don't know what you're planning.
That's right. Don't think of running away. We'll use rock-paper-scissors to decide.
Wait. What are you guys all doing?
You all don't want to sleep with me? Am I not your guys' best brother?
Fine. If you all don't want to sleep with me, then I'll go back and sleep naked.
I promise you. I'll share a bed with you.
That's better.
Okay, we arrived. Come in.
This is it.
You prepared all of this?
Yeah. What do you think?
Sit. Sit anywhere.
I'm going to put all of this in the kitchen.
You put so much effort in doing this for Yun Duo,
is it really only because you want to repay her?
Yeah. What else can there be?
Nothing, I'm just a little bit envious of Yun Duo.
With you being so considerate to her.
If I have someone like you by my side,
that's just as thoughtful, how great would that be?
Don't worry. As long as you help me,
I will definitely introduce you to a talented and caring boyfriend.
There's no need for that. I will take care of looking for a boyfriend on my own.
That being said, I helped you with all of this,
how are you going to return this kindness?
How do you want me to repay you?
I haven't thought of it. When I think of it I will tell you.
It's really good.
Why are you wearing an eye mask?
It's this. A steam eye mask.
It restores water and relieves fatigue.
It soothes and helps with sleep. In short,
It's great for you eyes. You can take a few and try them.
Thanks Brother Feng.
Ming Tian. I'm telling you. I am such a dignified person.
I am loved by all. When flowers see me, they bloom. And now, I've been degenerated.
I'm being crammed onto a bed with someone else.
-My fate is so miserable. -So tragic.
Ming Tian! You drank my yogurt!
-I'll return it. -Return it? You already drank it all!
-I'll see if you still dare to drink it. -Brother Feng, I won't do it again! I won't do it again!
This Cheng Mei.. She won't won't pick up her phone or reply to my messages.
She didn't actually fall asleep right?
Yun Duo, it's me Tang Yibai.
Coming.

I forgot to tell you,
In the washroom left cabinet, there are new toiletry products you can use.
Thank you.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
I just have insomnia, so I can't sleep. What about you?
I was thinking about where I should stay tomorrow, so I couldn't fall asleep.
Since we both can't fall asleep..
How about I bring you to the place I always go to? Let's go!
Every time I can't fall asleep, I would come here.
Listening to music while staring blankly at the stars.
You also have times when you can't fall sleep？
Sometimes, before a competition or a test, you're bound to be under pressure.
I don't think I've asked you this before. Back then, why did you start swimming?
It's really simple. I just like the feeling of swimming.
In the water, I can't hear anything else above.
I feel like I'm in another world.
I don't need to speak, and I don't need to care about what others think of me.
I always think that living in water,
rather than land is much more simpler and easier.
Indeed. Problems on land are so annoying.
For example, Director Liu keeping an eye on me, or getting kicked out of my house.
I hope that all your worries, not including Coach Wu's words,
Although you didn't say anything, but I always think that you really did mind what he said to you.
I always feel that you want to keep a distance from me.
That's not it. I always thought of you as a good friend. Really.
But going through this experience, I sort of understand what Coach Wu means.
I know what he's worried about. Maybe he's right.
An athlete and a reporter were meant to keep their distance anyways.
Then what if right now, I don't see you as a reporter, and you don't see me as an athlete.
We are simply just friends. Isn't it less complicated now?
From now on, when we're together alone, you're not a reporter.
I'm not an athlete either. We are just Tang Yibai and Yun Duo.
Don't let those authorities affect our friendship.
Okay. Then it's decided.
Usually when you're done swimming, what do you do afterwards?
Didn't I just say that in front of me, you can't be a reporter? How come you're already interviewing me?
I'm not a reporter, this isn't an interview. I'm just randomly asking because I'm curious.
Really?
Just like me, usually I'm exhausted after work, but when I go home, I still think about work.
♫ I’m pondering over the aftertaste of the few cups of the strong coffee I drank. ♫
♫ How should I explain why my heart has anxiously sped up? ♫
♫ My face is turning red. Am I embarrassed or am I interested in you? ♫
♫ I fell in love with you in this good weather. ♫
♫ I'm gonna love you. Where are you going? ♫
♫ The phone signal within three kilometers is at full strength. ♫
♫ I'm gonna love you. I flipped open the calendar. ♫
♫ The day I casually chose has no obstructions. ♫
♫ I fell in love with you in this beautiful weather. ♫
♫ I really hope I haven’t spent all of my luck, so I can see you again. ♫
Then what do you usually like to eat?
I never really thought about it. I'm not a picky eater.
Then what's your favorite drink?
Pomegranate juice, because I like its sweet taste.
You have a lot of questions.
Let me ask another question. Last one.
When we first met, why did you give me a pair of swimming googles?
Why did you want to become my friend? Why do you treat me so well?
♫ I'm gonna love you. Where are you going? ♫
♫ The phone signal within three kilometers is at full strength. ♫
♫ I'm gonna love you. I flipped open the calendar. ♫
♫ The day I casually chose has no obstructions. ♫
♫ I fell in love with you in this beautiful weather. ♫
♫ I really hope I haven’t spent all of my luck, ♫
♫ so I can see you again. ♫
I remember last night Tang Yibai,
I was chatting with Tang Yibai on the grass,
And then Cheng Mei never replied to my call.
She didn't respond to my phone call.
And then Tang Yibai brought me back to the dorm and I fell sleep.
So all of that was just a dream?
How can you dream about that Yun Duo?
Stop thinking about it.
Now with no one around, I should ask Tang Yibai to give me a ride.
Tang Yibai!
These two are so cute.
Yun Duo!
Delete the photo.
So early in the morning and you allowed me to see Yibai,
extending his claws towards a girl.
This picture I took is really clear.
If I don't put it on Weibo, I would regret it. (Weibo is a type of social media people use in China. Similar to Facebook or Twitter)
Is that so? I have an even clearer photo!
You-
Hurry up and wear your clothes.
I think if I put this on Weibo, it will definitelty have a lot more retweets.
Do you want to compete who has the most retweets?
Yun Duo, why did I never realize you are that kind of a person?
-How is it that- -What's wrong with me?
How is it that you're so infatuated with us?
You even took a picture of us sleeping?
Qi Ruifeng, can you please stop being so narcissistic?
Okay, let's go and eat. You can bicker some more when we've finished eating.
-Sounds good. -Okay.
In order to repay you guys for last night, I'll treat you guys to breakfast.
Okay.
Are you sure?
Of course. It's just breakfast.
-Yibai, get me another one. -Okay coming.
-What are you looking at? -You can eat that much?
What's so weird about that. Look at Yibai, he's also eating that much.
Yun Duo, are you scared by how much we eat?
As athletes, aren't you guys supposed to watch your weight?
Is it okay to eat this much?
No talking while eating. I can't read lip language.
Do you know who this is?
Sun Yang! Of course I recognize him. Everyone in China knows him!
1500 meter freestyle worldwide record holder.
He's now the captain of National Swim Team.
You did your homework very well!
Do you even need to research this? Everone already knows.
Let me tell something you don't know. Everyone in our swim team adores
Sun Yang. Especially...
Sun Yang is your idol too?
Of course. Every achievement Sun Yang has made is
every professional swimmer's dream.
Besides, he's also the first one who has ever claimed the title for 200 meter, 400 meter,
800 meter and 1500 meter freestyle.
Even when he was fractured,
he still insisted on training.
Wow, that's very inspiring.
You make me want to do an exclusive interview with him now.
So speaking of your idol, whatever else do you know about him? Give me more information.
-No problem.-What he just said only covers the glorious side of Sun Yang everyone sees.
Yun Duo, let me give more insight into his daily training.
Sun Yang swims like more ten thousand meter everyday. He works so hard that...
his palm print can barely been seen in the end.
With his talent and diligent, no wonder that he's such a success nowadays.
Exactly. Sun Yang's training volume is way more than us.
So in order to achieve our goal, we shall...
Eat more, get more energy and aim high.
Qi Ruifeng, I think you are a foodie with no doubt.
You are just using swimming as a disguise so that you can eat more.
-Yep.-yeah?!
Yun Duo, why are you eating so little?
Are you still worried about the house?
Don't worry. I'll help you take care of it.
instead of worrying about finding Yun Duo a new place,you should focus on improving your performance up to within 50".
Or else Coach Wu won't let you go.
What's going on? Is your training being intense lately?
Nothing. Every athlete has their own barrier to conquer.
You don't need to worry about me.
Yeah, yeah,yeah Yun Duo. You don't need to worry about him. He is Tang Yibai!
As for finding you a new place,
Actually last night I already thought about it.
I guarantee you will be satisfied.

Senior Yangyang
You are...?
I am a second year, Fang Jie Er.
Could you do me a favor and give this to Qi Ruifeng?
What is it?
I'm thinking that he might need to replenish his strength since he has been training so hard everyday.
So I prepared him breakfast.
I'm sorry, but I can't help with this.
Our team has a rule that we can't accept gifts, especially if it is food.
What are you trying to say?
Are you saying that Jie Er is trying to poison him?
That is our rule. You can think whatever you want, you can take that back.
I would say that you probably have feelings for Qi Ruifeng.
You want to claim Qi Ruifeng for yourself, huh?
Don't speak like that. Yangyang isn't like that.
She is doing this for Qi Ruifeng's good.
Yangyang, excuse us.
I didn't think about it. I didn't consider the rules.
Don't mind what my friend just said. Next time there's a competition,
besides Qi Ruifeng, I will also cheer for you.
Bye bye, senior.
-Yibai. -What's wrong?
I just heard that Head Coach Yuan would announce the list of candidates for trial at the training later.
I know.
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure your name will be on the list.
If your name is not on it, I would be the first one going against Head Coach Yuan.
Stop it. I'm a member of this swim team.
So no matter what decision Head Coach Yuan makes, I will respect it.
But...don't pretend like you don't care. I don't believe that if you are not selected,
you are just going to willingly accept that without fighting for it?
Do you forget something? What's in my fist?
It's determination.
Unless I achieve my goal, I will always hold onto my determination and never let it go.
So no matter what happens, I will not easily give up and surrender.
Alright. I will leave you here to study. I have something to do.
I'm going to leave first. Good bye.
What are you doing?
I have to help Yun Duo look for a house.
Don't worry. I won't let you down. I'm leaving now.
Every time he assures me,
why am I not convinced?
She looks good.
speaks gentle and has great personality.
No wonder every guy likes girls like her.
Compared to her, I really don't act like a girl.
In the next competition, I'll be cheering for Qi Ruifeng and you too.
In the next competition, I will cheer for Yangyang.
Fighting! Fighting!
Yo. Xiang Yangyang.
What?
Are you crazy? Why are you acting cute for no reason?
Disgusting.
-Disgusting? -Yeah.
Other people who act cutesy are goddesses.
If you act cutesy, you're crazy.
Do you want to die?
Alright. I'll shut up. Don't be mad.
I won't bother with you.
Move out of the way. Gather and practice now.
Hurry up!
Stinky Qi Ruifeng, how dare you say I'm crazy.
That pisses me off.
So annoying!
Captain, run a little slower. We can't catch up!
You forgot what my name is? It's Cheng Mei.
Helping someone to achieve their success is my strength.
Okay, don't worry. I'll ask Yun Duo about the house right now.
What's up? I called you, why didn't you pick up?
Oh, my phone is broken. I didn't hear it ring.
It's fine. Why did you look for me?
I wanted to ask about the situation with the house.
You can't always live at the office.
Don't talk about the house. I don't know what to do about it.
If you haven't looked for one, I have one-
Qi Ruifeng's calling
Let me answer this call.
Hello, Yun Duo? It's me. Qi Ruifeng.
Let me say this. You may idolize me, but don't fall in love with me.
Prince Feng, please speak the human language.
I found a house for you!
What? You found a house? That quick?
I'll send you a picture right now.
Wait.
It looks pretty nice. Is it expensive?
You even gave a soaked egg as a gift.
How can I recommend an expensive house for you?
Then, I must thank you for your sincerity.
No need to thank me. I already talked to the owner of the house,
As long as you are ready, you may move in anytime.
Really? That's great.
Qi Ruifeng, I really need to thank you this time.
No need to thank me Yun Duo. There will definitely be a time where you can thank me.
Just wait for it. I'm busy and I have to practice now.
I'll send you the address.
Hurry and go. Bye Bye.
Alright. I'll move today. Bye.
I found a house!
You found a house that quick already?
My friend found it for it. It's great.
It's pretty nice. I'll help you move later?
No need. I don't have that much luggage. I'm ok.
Alright. Get busy then.
One, two, one. One, two, one.
Okay, you guys can take a break now.
Did you notice how much Team Leader Yangyang loves to run these days?
That's right. We said we were going to jog slowly.
In the end, it keeps getting quicker.
So tiring.
What are you doing?
Xiang Yangyang, practice hasn't started and your team already tired themselves from running.
What to do if it is a competition?
It's none of your business. We must train harder since the competition is coming.
No one is like you guys. Tired after practicing a little bit.
No wonder why our records are better than yours.
That was before. It's different now.
For this season's Dream Cup,
I guarantee that we can turn the game around.
You guys better be able to.
What? You don't believe me? Let's make a bet then.
Bet what?
If the guys beat the girls in this time's Dream Cup competition,
you, Xiang Yangyang, must join my fan club.
Also, you must change your Weibo name into Crazy Girl.
-Do you want to die? -What are you doing?
Gather up.
Before practice today, I would like to announce
the competitor's list of this Dream Cup competition.
First, I will announce the male list.
100 meter backstroke and 4 x 100 meter relay first leg goes to Zheng Lingye.
Lingye, congratulations.
100 meter breaststroke and 4 x 100 meter relay second leg goes to Ming Tian.
100 meter butterfly stoke and 4 x 100 meter relay third leg goes to Chen Ziqiang.
Ziqiang, Congrats.
Is there a problem?
Coach, I am very honored to represent the school for the competition.
I did not choose to compete in butterfly style.
It was originally for Feng Kai; however, he is injured. He can't compete.
I know, you wanted to do free-style.
but your butterfly stroke performance is the best in our team.
So this mission will be given to you.
100 freestyle and 4 x 100 meter relay last legis...
in vacancy.
What?!
Why?
I will hold another competition within the team to...
pick the right candidate for this category.
