[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 10 -
Master, master, let me help you.
No need. I can do it myself.
Did you find a place?
I'm taking time off in the afternoon to move.
Why did you decide so quickly? You're not going to look around more?
No need. My friend found it for me. It will be safe.
It's fine. I can look around more for you.
I am an expert at it. I have experience.
Hold up.
Don't think that I don't know what you're planning by trying to be so attentive.
If I didn't guess wrong, you probably want to use the excuse of helping me move in order to skip work.
Don't even think about it. Teacher Sun is quite busy. Go help him out.
I'm leaving now. Get back to work. Don't be lazy.
Master. Don't follow me.
Here
Don't be sad.
Why would you think that I'll be sad?
Of course. All that you have done for Yun Duo
are useless. Of course, you'll be sad.
No, you're wrong.
I remember someone told me that if your heart truly cares about someone,
all you have done is because you sincerely care about them.
It is not that you want them to know how much you care for them.
I didn't understand what this meant before.
However, I have finally understand these words.
If Yun Duo doesn't stress anymore about looking for a place,
it's all good for me.
Why didn't you give the last leg to Tang Yibai?
If we're talking about times, Tang Yibai and Qi Reifeng have the best scores.
But Tang Yibai has a better sprinting record than Qi Ruifeng.
You won't let Tang Yibai compete. So, you're only letting Qi Ruifeng compete?
That's just hurting Yibai's confidence.
Do you not feel good about it?
Of course I don't feel good.
Let's not talk about how Yibai spent such a long time to return to swimming.
When gossip used to talk about him getting taken off the list for competing
You always wanted to help him, but now you won't let him compete.
Why would you ask if I'm feeling good or not?
I'm doing this for the honor of the team
What do you mean?
I am saying that Tang Yibai can't win the competition as of his current conditions.
How could you say that he can't win?
Let me ask you then.
What is it?
Tang Yibai's scores are not improving. Why didn't you tell me?
That's nothing much.
Every swimmer is different. They all have highs and lows.
It's normal for them to not improve.
But I believe Yibai will break through soon.
What is this expression of yours?
Do you not trust Yibai?
It's not that I don't trust Yibai.
Rather, I can see that Yibai's bottleneck isn't as simple as you're making it out to be.
If he can't find a way to breakthrough
His swimming career may end here
It's definitely here.
Erbai
Come on out. Come out.
So cute. Thank you sir.
I lost you, didn't I?
I'm sorry. Did it scare you?
I'm fine. I'm fine. No problem right?
You see. I have so much in my hands.
The dog leash loosen so the dog ran off.
I'm sorry. It's fine.
It seems like it likes you. It must be fate.
You look familiar.
Are you the young lady who will be renting a room? That QQ introduced you to me.
He sent me your picture.
QQ? That's right.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I've waited for you for so long. I'm your new landlord.
Let me tell you. QQ told me.
Your previous landlord was so mean.
I will never do such terrible things.
If my husband divorces me, he will be the one to move out.
We can continue to live here.
You're not QQ's girlfriend, are you?
No, no, no. I'm not his girlfriend.
Good, good, good.
Let's go check out the room.
Let's go.
Erbai, we're leaving .
Let's go.
No hurry.
Come on in.
Take your time. Erbai, listen
Go play by yourself.
Come in. Come in.
I know what it's like.
You don't have to change shoes. It's too bothersome.
No need.
Where are the slippers?
You girls wear a ton of shoes.
When you move in, I will get a shoe drawl just for you.
Thank you.
My family is actually very simple.
There's my husband and I.
Be good.
Also, there's my son.
My husband... have a seat.
My husband does furniture business.
He's always on business trips, so he's barely at home.
My son is in college and he's living on campus.
In one year of 365 days, he's barely home.
Since the rooms are empty, I decided to rent them out.
So, you're renting out your son's room?
That's right.
Where will he live when he comes home?
When he comes back, he can live in the dog's house.
We'll see if he dares pass the house thrice without entering.(in reference to a story of Yu the Great, who thrice didn't enter his home because there was still work to do, people to save)
Let me tell you. You don't have to worry.
Don't think that you're renting a guy's room.
I, Auntie Luo, have very good taste.
I decorated your room spectacularly.
Do you want to see? Let's go.
Let's go take a look.
Look at it. It's so fine.
This rooms looks so clean and new!
Of course.
It doesn't even look like a guy have lived here.
QQ mentioned that a young lady was coming.
So, I spent some time to decorate it. Happy?
Happy, happy.
Her name is Ms Dazy.
Because you're a young lady, I did my homework.
This face mask is also for you.
Thank you Auntie.
You're too nice. I feel bad.
You don't have to feel bad. I'm also very happy.
I feel like we get along very well.
Do you like it here?
Yes. I really like it.
Auntie, let's sign the lease.
Right now?
Can we?
Of course!
The last leg of the freestyle 400 meter relay
is temporarily vacant.
One more.
Brother Feng. Brother Feng.
Sorry Coach Wu.
I disappointed you for not getting picked for the last leg of the relay
Don't think too much. That's my problem, not yours.
There's one more set.
Yibai's working so hard. You don't think he's venting his frustrations out on the machine, do you?
The Tang Yibai I remember wasn't this kind of good-for-nothing guy.
Didn't you see when coach was talking about the last leg,
She emphasized the word "temporarily"
That's right.
Before the list gets finalized, Yibai will definitely try his best to get the last leg.
That's a given.
One more.
Good.
Alright. Take a break.
Yibai, come with me.
I'm going too.
It's none of your business.
What's going on?
I don't know.
Head Coach Yuan, why are you having me stare at these fish?
Every time I feel lost or when I don't know how to lead you guys,
I would look at these fish.
Then, tell yourself to never forget where you came from.
Take a look at these fish.
After living here, they have forgotten the rivers in which they were from.
They also forgot that they once had freedom.
Yibai, I know that you're facing a difficult obstacle.
But, I noticed that your main obstacle is that
you must find your starting point and not your finish line.
How can I find my starting point?
Are you telling me to find the reason I chose to swim in the first place?
That's right. That is something an athlete should never forget in their lifetime.
You're too tired these days. Pause on practicing and take two days off.
Stay calm and think about it. Being able to think about things calmly
is something that a good athlete has to be able to do. Understand?
Do you understand?
Understood.
I'll wait until you think about it carefully. Get rid of all those negative emotions.
Don't worry. I will save the spot that belongs to you.
It's so comfy.
Auntie Luo is so nice.
This must be this room's master.
So cute.
He's that tall for a 16 year old.
He must be as tall as Tang Yibai by now.
Wait a minute sister.
Yibai.
Yes Coach? Someone's looking for you.
Who is it? Listen for yourself.
I'm leaving. Remember to return it to me.
Thanks Coach.
Mom, why are you calling me?
I am calling you,
to inform you about last time.
I told you that if you don't come back, you don't have to anymore.
Did you think I was kidding?
Let me tell you once more.
You really don't have to come back anymore.
Because I already rented your room to someone.
Mom, it's not that I don't want to come home. It's that we are busy practicing.
I'll promise you that I'll come home once I have time. Don't be mad.
You said the same thing last time.
You only care about competing all day long.
Do you not want your mom anymore?
Did you choose competition over mommy?
How important am I?
Tell me. Tell me.
Sorry mom.
I guarantee that I will come home once I have the time.
Alright, mom. Coach is looking for me. I'll talk to you later.
I'm..
He hung up on me. This brat.
He hung up again. He's such a brat.
What's the point of having a son?
When I was giving birth to him,
my stomach hurt so much when there was such a big cut.
I gave birth to such a thing.
Auntie Luo.
I'm sorry. I accidentally heard you on the phone.
I was getting some water.
It's fine. I'm sorry for my embarrassment.
It's nothing.
Is your son an athlete?
That's right. He's an athlete.
That's why his heart
There are only races and achievements. I'm not in the picture
That's ok. If he doesn't care about me, I won't care about him either.
You actually worry for him a lot, right?
Who?
Me? Am I worried about him?
I'm not worried about him. Why would I be?
I'm not worried at all.
Of course you'll be worried.
You will worry about how hard he is practicing. You will worry about whether or not he is eating well.
You will worry about him not having someone to talk to about his issues.
You must hope to be by his side to support him.
But, you don't know what to do, am I right?
What can I do about being worried?
That brat doesn't even care.
Only girls are good.
They're caring and understanding. They can chat with mommy.
Yun Duo.
Do you know what I like the most about you?
It's your eyes.
They're bright. I can see right through them to your heart.
So beautiful.
Thank you Auntie Luo.
Eat as much as you want. - Landlord
Brother, if I put this vase of flowers here,
Yibai will feel happy if he sees it, right?
You're wasting your efforts. I'd doubt that he would see it.
It's fine if he doesn't see it. If you truly like someone,
you will understand that all you have done for them is because you care about them.
It is not because of how much you want them to know about it.
Little One, I feel like I have finally understood your words.
Yun Duo, breakfast is ready. Come and eat!
Mom.
-Come. -Mom
Aunty Lu! I'm so sorry.
I'm still slightly asleep. I thought you were my mom.
No need to worry about that. Come over here!
Sorry.
Come. Sit down. Sit down.
You can call me whatever you want. I will be happy either ways!
Let me tell you, I prepared all of this.
A harmony of Chinese and Western styles, combining Northern and Southern styles.
Also, they are all freshly made.
Try them and see if they suit your taste.
Thank you Aunty Lu.
Hurry up and eat.
When I was still in college, every time I went home, my mom would make me
a bunch food that I love to eat
She likes to watch me eat all of the dishes she prepared.
When I leave, she wants me to pack everything so I can eat on the way
It was fine in winter, but during summer, the food goes stale really fast
And she would always call me to ask
Did you eat? Make sure you eat a lot and some other things
But I threw the food out and I felt bad if I told her.
It is like that.
As a mom, whenever there is good food or drinks,
we would always think of our kids first.
Your home is far away and you can't go back often
Which mom wouldn't miss their own child?
You are a good child.
You're very mature and you miss your mom
If you say it like that, it makes me feel so pleased.
Girls are the best.
They are so caring unlike my unfilial son.
He can pass by the home 3 times, and yet he won't come in. (Chinese saying)
He can do such a thing.
Aunty Lu, what's your son's name?
I can help you find him and convince him to come home and spend time with you.
His name is-
Never mind. Let's not mind him.
I'll just think of it as I never had this son. So easy.
Let me tell you, after you came
Aunty Lu is always happy.
It's already really good.
I will act on your mom's behalf and feed you more.
Try some of this purple yam cake.
Thank you Aunty Lu. Also, this Siu Mai (dim sum).
It's going to get cold. Eat up.
Here, here, here.
Why are you calling me over? I just had an interview. I need to organize the information.
It's nothing. I just wanted to ask you how the new house is.
It's pretty nice. The landlady is also really nice.
Oh yeah, her son is also an athlete.
Since you know the landlady, do you also know her son?
Uh...
It seems like you know him. Who is it?
I do know him, but I'm not close with him. I'm closer with his mom.
It's doesn't matter if your close with him, but if you do see him tell him that his mom really misses him.
And if he has nothing to do he should go home and visit her.
He made his mom worry like that. Such a bad kid.
You're right! Not only is he unreasonable, but also unfilial. He should be ashamed to our country that nurtured him.
Yun Duo, the next time I see him I will definitely teach him a lesson.
Teach him how to do things, act like a person, and act like a son!
What are you guys talking about?
Nothing, we are just talking about Yun Duo's new landlady.
It's just that her son isn't that great.
Qi Ruifeng. When you were looking for a house, how come you didn't ask properly?
How can there be a male living there?
It's okay. Her son is just like you guys, living at the dorms. He doesn't usually come home.
Then what kind of person is he? How old is he?
I never met him before. He should be around our age.
I heard that the landlady's son is very cold on the outside, but kind on the inside.
In his head, it's full of flirting.
He's heartless. When he has a girl in his heart, he forgot his mom.
Yun Duo, let me tell you
You might be the type of girl that he likes. From now on, you have to be careful.
No way.
Yun Duo, let me tell you
For the sake of the landlady,
I suggest that you shouldn't mention her son much, it's better to not mention him at all.
You're suggesting? How can you help Yun Duo find that kind of a house?
Yun Duo, if you already signed the contract
and can't find a new house in a short period of time,
the only thing you can probably do is be careful, and protect yourself. Stay away from the lady-lord's son.
It's okay. You can relax. I don't even want to approach this disgusting person.
What's wrong? Why are you shaking?
My stomach hurts.
I'm going to the washroom. You guys can slowly chat, I won't disturb your friendly conversation.
Oh yeah, Yun Duo. What Yibai said was right.
You shouldn't go near the landlord's son.
I'm going to leave first.
Um.
Oh right. Qi Ruifeng said you ran into some troublesome problems.
How is it?
So, that's the reason Head Coach Yuan won't let you compete.
It's because she saw that you seem to be stuck.
I think she is trying to tell me,
The current me, always running into these problems
is because I'm still missing something.
Missing something?
Missing motivation? Confidence?
You can't be missing the will to live, right?
The Tang Yibai I know never misses this.
She told me, instead of thinking about how fast I can get to the finish point,
I should stop and think about how I can return to the starting point.
Head Coach Yuan sure said something meaningful.
Your competitions' swimming pool is 50 meters.
Every athletic competitor wants to swim to the finish line.
That's also the starting point.
That means the starting point is the finish line, and vice versa.
Finish line is the starting point.
Tang Yibai.
We will wait for you here. Don't make us wait too long.
Yun Duo, thank you.
Thank me for what?
Because of you I think I know what I need to do.
I'm back!
Dad. Mom.
When did mom become a kid again? She's wearing such girly things.
Er Bai.
Miss you so much!
Where are they?
Dad.
Everything's good at home?
Everything's fine.
Hello Dad? It's me Yibai.
I'm going to let you know what I'm home.
You came home? Yi bai.
I came home to get some things. Why is there no one at home?
That's right. I just came back from a business trip. Your mom came to pick me up.
It's nothing. I just wanted to know when you guys are coming home.
We can all go eat or something.
Dad, I'll call you later.
He hung up?
This son.
This brat.
Is there something wrong with my mom?
Why did she make my room so feminine?
Lace? What is this?
He called again.
Hello Dad? Did our relatives come?
Relatives? There's no relatives.
If there's no relatives then why did my room become like this?
Give it to me. Let me tell him.
Here.
Hello Yibai? You came home?
Last time I told you that I rented out your room to someone else.
You really rented it out?
Mom you're not joking with me right?
Of course I rented it out.
Hurry up and come out. It's someone else's room. Don't stay in there too long.
Someone else's room?
Why did you rent out my room? Do we need money?
We're not in need of money. I used the rent money to buy food for Er Bai.
Buy food for Er Bai to eat?
Mom, am I your biological son or is Er Bai?
If I compare you two, Er Bai is so well-behaved. Everyday, he keeps me company.
In a year, how many days do I see you?
Okay, stop complaining. The phone bill is so expensive.
Let's talk when we get back home. I'm hanging up.
Hello? Mom-
I'm home.
Er Bai! I'm back!
Come here. You missed me right?
Come, come, come.
Are you hungry? You're probably hungry.
If you're going to sit, then sit on the coach.
You're taking up Er Bai's space, and you're so old, aren't you ashamed?
Er Bai's food is bought using my room's rent money.
It's right for me to sit in the dog's house.
What? You're not happy about it?
I'm happy. I'm super happy.
Because I never come home due to competitions, you rented my room out.
Who does such illogical things?
How can I be unhappy?
Mr. Tang. Baby Fei, did you hear?
Your son is arguing with your wife like this. Do you have nothing to say?
Yibai, how can you talk to your mom like that?
It seems like I must punish you today.
Get up!
How could you be like that?
Dad. Your wife is making your son homeless.
He's traumatized. How can you yell at him like that?
Are you crazy? Who's yelling at you?
You know your mom's methods are "normal".
I don't understand it either.
You don't understand either, yet you allow her to rent out my room.
Your mom is a women.
When a women is mad, you can't use logic to talk to her.
The only thing us men can do is
to accept her feelings.
Accept her? She's kicking me out though.
You are her only son.
You never come home. Does your mom not miss you?
She will do such things when she is angry. It's normal.
Dad. There are times when I really look up to you.
No matter what mom does, you're always on her side.
When you get a wife, you will then understand.
It's 100 times easier to be your mom's son than your mom's husband.
Look at what you're doing now.
It hurts your mom very much.
Go and apologize to your Mom.
Wife. Mom.
Mom, I'm wrong.
I will come home more often and not bring more trouble.
But Mom, you should tell me who you rented out my room to.
Are their living habits good? Will it disturb you?
Don't cause yourself trouble just to make me mad.
Don't worry. The young lady is so amazing.
She's caring and such a good child.
Also, she's beautiful. Beautiful.
Do you want Mom to introduce you to her?
You guy's can meet each other.
No need to.
Don't be so arrogant. She might not like you either.
Up to you. Do whatever you want.
But you have to tell me where you put the things in my room. I have something important I need.
You can go check the storage room for your things.
If it's not there, then I threw it out as garbage.
I-
What are you looking for?
Dad, don't tell me Mom really rented out my room.
I'm not sure if your Mom is being serious or not.
I wasn't at home either so I'm not sure what went on at home these days.
Dad, did mom rent out the room
to mess around with me?
Probably not.
If she did this just to mess with you, that takes a lot of effort.
No, no, no. The more I think about it the more I think it is possible.
In order to mess with me, she probably pretended to rent out my room.
She even decorated it into a girl's bedroom.
It does sound kind of crazy.
Think about it, if she rents out my room because I barely come home,
then, I will definitely not be coming home often.
My mom won't do that.
You do have a point.
Stop being so full of yourself.
I won't make myself so tired just to mess with you.
If you don't believe me, then wait until the little girl comes home from work.
Why don't you just say that she'll be back once I'm out of here?
Tang Yibai, you sure speak with such attitude now?
Alright. What are you doing here then? Why don't you leave after getting your stuff?
Whatever you say. I don't have time to argue with you.
I'm the one who doesn't have time to argue with you!
Wife.
Dad, I found it!
Let me see.
Just this?
This is the starting point that I've been looking for.
Tang Yibai?
Hello?
Yun Duo, I'm Tang Yibai.
Why did you call me?
It seems like you don't want me to call you.
No. Didn't Coach Wu take your phone?
Yeah, but today I had to do something and went home, so he gave me my phone.
What's up?
What you told me earlier helped me find my direction.
What direction?
Do you have time tomorrow?
I am off tomorrow. I have time.
Then can you go somewhere with me tomorrow?
Sure.
Okay. Then I'll send you the address and time later. See you tomorrow.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Good bye.
