[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 19 -
Ouyang Heng accepted QKVideo's interview?
He did accept our interview, but I wasn't the one who interviewed him. I don't know what he said.
Also, don't kid around with my professionalism.
The competition is coming soon.
In this Dream cup competition, there is someone I must beat.
I know he just broke a record.
That's fine because that record will soon become history.
I want Tang Yibai to improve even more.
Because I will break his record every time.
I will defeat you thoroughly during the competition.
This is my pre-competition speech.
I also have some words to say to a girl.
Little One, if you can hear me now,
even if who you think is your most important person has already forgotten you,
you still have someone who is swimming for you.
He will continue to win for you.
Yesterday when he saw me, Ouyang Heng said...
What did he say?
He said I look like Little One.
Who's this Little One?
Who's this Little One? Do you know?
I don't know. I'm heading back to practice.
Who's this Little One?
This name sounds so familiar. Did I hear it somewhere?
Cheng Mei, how did you do it? How did you get Ouyang Heng to accept an interview?
That's right. Tell us the secret.
I, actually...
Cheng Mei, you're so awesome. You're first place.
So, we have to both work hard.
I will work hard. I'm happy for you.
That's right. You didn't tell me how you got to interview Ouyang Heng.
Did he really agree to interview once he saw you?
I don't know. He probably was touched by my sincerity.
Are you having a meeting?
Yun Duo, stop right there. Come here you two.
I remember you have a case to interview Tang Yibai.
Cheng Mei's previous interview with Ouyang Heng aroused interest online.
The netizens are curious about what happened with Ouyang Heng and Tang Yibai in the past.
I hope you can investigate this situation during the interviews.
Cheng Mei, help me find out who this Little One is.
What's her relationship with Tang Yibai?
I always feel like there is so much going on with these three.
We need to know about everything that has a possibility of affecting competition results.
This way, we can find the perfect angle for our reports. Understand?
You two do well. Whether or not you can become a reporter all depends on this.
Go on.
I finally know why Tang Yibai is so interested in you.
In certain aspects, you are very similar to my friend, Little One.
Who's this Little One?
She knows Tang Yibai, Qi Ruifeng, and Ouyang Heng.
Could it be their high school friend or a teammate?
Sounds like a girl to me.
"The Legendary Little One." The netizens are so resourceful.
They can even find this information? Let me check it out.
What's going on?
Now, your pinky enters the water first. In the past, didn't you enter the water like this?
If you enter with this position, you can take it back immediately.
This way, your shoulder doesn't need to twist.
Do you understand? If you do this, you wont get hurt as much.
Tang Yibai!
The photo of you giving QKVideo's reporter a piggy back ride. Do you have something to say to us, your fans?
- You were so intimate with her. What's your relationship?- That's right. Please explain.
- Hey, sorry. We are about to train. - Answer us.
Why did Tang Yibai only answer that girl's questions? Why did he even carry her?
Tang Yibai, we are cheering for you. Why are you so unfair?
That's right. Explain yourself.
We are heading to training. Excuse me. Thank you.
- Tang Yibai. - Excuse me.
She's the girl who got a piggy back ride from Tang Yibai.
She's the one that kept on following him.
I heard she kept pestering Tang Yibai for interviews after his comeback.
- Now, Tang Yibai can't even hide from her. - That's right. She doesn't suit him.
What are you doing dressed like this?
I don't know. For some reason, I've become the center of attention.
Everybody probably saw the news. Director Liu is looking for you.
Yibai, how could you make such a mistake in this critical time? An athlete's reputation is so important.
This has a big impact on whether or not you can join Asia Elite Training Team. Do you know that?
Yibai already explained to me.
Yun Duo injured her ankle. Yibai, as a friend, was carrying her to get a ride.
That's all. It is not a scandal.
How could this impact his joining of Asia Elite Training Team?
That's your opinion. Asia Elite Training Team's coaches wouldn't see it this way.
Tang Yibai and that girl's scandal is crazy online.
The Training team's coaches are already doubting Tang Yibai's
ability to continue making breakthroughs, without being affected by his private life.
I won't guarantee for others, but I can guarantee for Yibai.
He won't be affected by anything.
What about 4 years ago? Who didn't take care of their own problems
and ended up leaving the pool?
Don't underestimate the career as a swimmer.
A competitor's performance in the pool isn't everything. Outside the pool,
any action can affect a swimmer's career.
Yibai, even though our swim team doesn't have specific rules on your social lives,
this is the most important time of your swimming career.
At this time, you should keep your distance with that Yun Duo.
From now on, I forbid QKVideo from personally interviewing you.
I forbid that girl from approaching any of our team especially you.
I wanted you to write news,
not for you to become the main character of the news.
Do you really want to be famous?
Director Liu, I didn't know someone was taking pictures.
Tell me why is your interviewee carrying you, an intern reporter, across the street?
It's easy for passers-by to know what's going on.
Because of you, our videos have been completely drowning in protest comments.
Tang Yibai and your photo has become sports and entertainment news' main topic.
Take a look yourself. Look at what the netizens are saying.
They're saying that Tang Yibai favors QKVideo
all because of you. They claim we are using you to seduce him.
We send out a pretty reporter to steal exclusive news.
They also say the scandal between you and Tang Yibai is created by us.
That's not the truth. I can go and clarify it.
You clarify it? How about I hold a press conference for you?
Let's flat-out say QKVideo is using you to create news.
Head Coach Yuan, you're worried that Yun Duo will affect me
because you are worried that this picture
will prevent me from joining the Asia Elite Training Team.
What if I tell you now that I never planned to accept Coach Fei's offer?
I actually wanted to say a long time ago, but I didn't find the chance.
Coach Fei, I thank you for your offer to join the Asia Elite Training Team.
But as long as my swim team needs me, I will not ditch my teammates and leave alone.
So, sorry. I can't accept your offer now. Please understand.
Head Coach Yuan, you can now stop worrying about how the Asia Elite Training Team coaches see me.
I hope you will take back your words about Yun Duo interviewing me.
- Yibai. - I understand your concern; however, it is not my first time facing rumors.
I know if I allow those rumors to stop Yun Duo and I from socializing,
it will only let others believe that those rumors are true.
She is my friend. I can't let her get hurt like that.
To be truthful, Yun Duo, I believe you're not that type of person.
However, this situation has affected QKVideo's professionalism.
Let me remind you guys.
No matter what, you must remember that you're a reporter.
Unfortunately,
I must make a decision.
Yun Duo, from now on, I have to take away your qualifications to be an intern reporter.
Clean up your stuff and leave QK Video.
Don't, don't, don't. It isn't that serious to be firing her, Director Liu.
That's right, Director Liu. Yun Duo said it was a misunderstanding. Trust her.
Okay, okay. Stop speaking for her.
I already decided. No matter what the reason is.
That picture is the truth. It already affected the company negatively.
For the good of the company's credibility, Yun Duo must leave.
I understand. I will go now.
Wait a second.
Director Liu, if you are really trying to protect the company's credibility,
at this moment, you must not fire Yun Duo.
I know that you are worried about QK Video's professionalism being affected.
If we fire Yun Duo now,
aren't we telling people
that we are really obtaining our exclusive news with evil tactics?
What do you think we should do?
- Do nothing. - Do nothing?
That's right. We don't have to express, say, or clarify anything.
Nonsense. Are you joking?
Every employee at QK Video upholds the same values.
We have the same news ideals and came here after many options.
The credibility of QK Video is built upon every reporter and editor's professional conduct.
If we only look at this picture without any background story,
and accuse our own people just as others are,
it will be the biggest doubt to QK Video.
Yun Duo, immediately make a report.
Tell me everything about this picture.
We will temporarily keep your status as an intern reporter.
But before the editorial board judges your report,
you must avoid everything to do with Tang Yibai and South Physical's swim team.
All right. Don't worry. Director Liu, I will assign her work immediately.
Yibai, listen to me. Will you really hold this grudge against Head Coach Yuan and Fei Yu because of Yun Duo?
I'm not holding a grudge.
You're not?
- Wait, wait, wait. You're not holding a grudge?- No.
Okay, let me ask you. Why aren't you joining the Asia Elite Training Team?
I already said so clearly.
I didn't do that for Yun Duo.
I didn't only do it for myself. I did it for my swim teammates.
Tang Yibai!
You put your team before your own benefits.
I really admire this attitude of yours.
I want to ask you a question. Do you know what you are doing?
Do you know what you have given up?
I know.
You don't know. You don't know anything.
Your current self has the chance to join Asia Elite Training Team
only because you have become famous after one competition.
You haven't lost in public yet.
Everyone would anticipate for you. However, if you participate in the Dream Cup,
you won't have any hope anymore.
What do you mean? Are you saying Yibai can't win the next round?
He can't win the Dream Cup?
That's right.
If he continues to stay on this type of swim team,
in this type of place, in this type of training method.
Let's not talk about championship, he can't even get into the top eight.
What do you mean? Are you saying I'm nonexistent?
I'm still Yibai's main coach right now.
- Main Coach? - That's right.
You aren't even embarrassed about being his main coach?
You can't even protect your own team member?
You wasted four of his years. You don't qualify to be his coach.
[QK Video]
[Yun Duo #13]
It's okay.
Yun Duo, it's okay.
It's meaningless to look at this now. Really.
Yun Duo, think about your accomplishments.
It's like a roller coaster ride. Highs and lows.
Who knows until the very end?
I believe in you. You will rise again.
You will rise to the top. Good luck!
Are you guys also too busy to eat?
That's right. I'm so busy.
Even if I'm busy, I must replenish myself.
What about you? Are you skipping another meal?
As long as I get enough nutrients, it's enough. If I can't even control my body figure, how will I control my life?
Since we mentioned controlling our lives, I can't help but admire Yun Duo.
We are not as amazing as her.
I don't understand. How did Yun Duo crawl up to number three?
Turns out she had some tricks up her sleeves.
I admit to losing to Cheng Mei, who's in first place.
Look at Yun Duo. She's always opposing the boss. If she stays until the end,
it means God has no eyes.
The one who has no eyes must be Tang Yibai. What does he see in Yun Duo?
Does Tang Yibai have bad eyesight?
I still have to work.
It seems like their words are making you feel bad.
You heard, too?
The mouth belongs to them. I can't help with what they say. I'll pretend to not hear.
That's right. Thanks for protecting me earlier.
You must remember that you're only an assistant. You shouldn't oppose Director Liu anymore for my sake.
I can't do that. You're my mentor after all.
Mentor, you are more important than the boss in my heart.
Seriously.
Four years ago,
when I heard that you were suspended from the pool, a thought appeared in my mind.
If you didn't waste those golden years of sports,
if I could coach a talented athlete like you,
instead of being wasted in the hands of an incompetent coach.
Have you ever thought about where you could have gone?
When I saw you return to swimming,
I told myself to not give up on this chance.
I can't have regrets.
Tang Yibai,
you encountered so many twists and turns these years. You're already 22 years old.
As a swimmer, you don't have time to waste.
You must make the right decision for yourself.
Coach Fei!
There is no meaningless roads in life. As long as I walk them, they still count.
This is what Coach Wu said to me during my lowest times.
Maybe in your eyes, I wasted 4 years. However,
these 4 years made me understand how important swimming is.
Without these four years, I would not be here today.
So, I will speak with my achievements. I did not waste my 4 years.
I won't send you off.
You're Yun Duo. What's your relationship with Tang Yibai?
That's right. What's your relationship?
Do you know how hard Tang Yibai worked for his current achievements?
Do you know how much we cherish him?
Now, you keep pestering him for interviews.
We know what your intention is.
I'm telling you. You don't deserve him!
- What are you saying? - Who's this?
Are you okay?
Everybody, I think you have misunderstood.
Yun Duo has no improper relationship with Tang Yibai.
How could that be? Who would believe that?
Because Yun Duo...
is my girlfriend.
How is she his girlfriend?
We are good friends with Tang Yibai.
The picture you all saw is because Yun Duo hurt her leg.
I know everyone is concerned about Tang Yibai's every move.
That results in today's extreme reaction.
I hope everyone can respect people's privacy.
Thank you.
- Let's go. - Hey, don't leave.
Excuse me.
Don't leave.
What do you mean?
Thank you for that.
However, why did you have to say I'm your girlfriend? People will misunderstand.
Who are you afraid of misunderstanding? Tang Yibai?
This is the best way for everyone to stop questioning this situation.
You also don't want such a scandal to affect Tang Yibai.
For Yibai's good and to protect your job,
I say you should keep your distance from him these days.
No. If Tang Yibai and I really have something going on, that's that.
However, we really don't.
I don't know why I must lie for this picture.
Also, like you said, I didn't do anything wrong.
Why should I keep my distance from him? That's weird.
Yun Duo, a lot of things aren't that simple.
Not everyone is like you. Not everyone wants to see Tang Yibai succeed.
Also, did you ever think about how hard Tang Yibai worked
to get back into swimming? Now because of your relationship,
it affected his swimming career.
If you are Tang Yibai, what would you do?
I don't mean anything else. I just want you to understand that I did this because
I want to protect you. I don't want to see you get hurt.
People are selfish and only protect themselves.
Never mind cutting off his relationship with you,
he might even blame everything on you.
That's impossible. Tang Yibai isn't that type of person.
Even if he does that,
as a friend, I understand him.
Really?
If it is like what you said, why do you look sad right now?
I know even if you don't admit it, you like Tang Yibai. Right?
I will tell you one more time. I am a professional reporter.
If QK Video is negatively affected by me, I will take responsibility for it.
Please don't guess about my relationship with Tang Yibai.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
I am thankful that you helped me, but that doesn't mean you can randomly guess at my feelings.
Goodbye.
- Let's go. Hurry.- Coming.
Yibai, are you okay?
You know?
Not only do I know, everyone knows it.
Don't think too much. I'm only doing what I should do.
Doing what you should do?
Hey, what did you do?
I already rejected Coach Fei's offer to join the Asia Elite Training Team.
Who's talking about that situation?
I'm asking you, do you know that Yun Duo and Brother Lin Zi are dating?
Are you okay?
Wait a second. What did you say?
You won't join the Asia Elite Training Team?
That's not important. You just said Yun Duo and Brother Lin Zi are together? What's going on?
You don't know? Wait a second. I'll let you see.
This.
Everybody, I think you've misunderstood.
Yun Duo and Tang Yibai don't have any improper relationships
because Yun Duo is my girlfriend.
Qi Ruifeng, let me borrow your phone. I have to make a call.
Call, call, call. Hurry and call.
Call. What's going on? Ask her what's going on with her and Brother Lin Zi.
Do you think it's true between them two?
Ask her directly, won't you? I'll call. Give it to me.
It's fine. I'm not calling. I'll go meet up with her.
- That works. - The picture incident caused her trouble.
Let's go.
Go, go.
Coach Wu.
We are training, where are you going?
I... I...
I...?
We are going to practice.
I think...
I think... I think... I think... Don't think about anything. Don't think about going anywhere.
Yes, Coach. I'll go practice right away.
That's right. We're heading to practice.
Hurry up.
Let's go. I'll keep an eye on him.
Because Yun Duo
is my girlfriend.
My god.
When can we have lunch? I'm hungry.
Eat, eat. You only know how to eat.
Our daughter-in-law is being stolen by others. You can still eat?
- Yun Duo. - Auntie, Uncle.
You... Why are you back so early? Did something happen?
No. Work wasn't busy, so I came back early.
Don't lie to me. I already know.
You... look at this.
Because Yun Duo
is my girlfriend.
Tell me. Is he your boyfriend?
No. He's not my boyfriend.
How is he not? He already held your hand.
He confessed in front of others that you're his girlfriend.
Auntie, it's hard to explain. I can't explain right now.
He's really not my boyfriend.
- Really isn't?- Yes.
That's good then.
Yun Duo, we only met recently, but I really like you.
You're so cute.
You're such a good girl.
Auntie, I'm a bit tired. I'm going to go rest up.
I'll be going now.
Go and rest up.
Rest up.
Dear,
I really advise you to stop trying to push them together,
or else you'll scare her away.
Shut your mouth. What do you know?
Okay, okay. I don't understand.
When can we eat? I'm really hungry.
Darn!
Have you ever thought about how hard Tang Yibai worked to get back to swimming?
Because of you, it affected his swimming career.
If you were Tang Yibai, what would you do?
[Tang Yibai]
Tang Yibai?
Why would he be calling me?
Hello, Tang Yibai.
I am Coach Wu.
Coach Wu?
Are you convenient to come out? I have something to tell you.
- Senior.- Junior.
Can I talk to you?
Okay. I have something to discuss with you, too.
Let's go.
This Yuan Runmei.
You probably want to talk to me about Tang Yibai.
Senior, I hope you can use your identity as head coach
to persuade Tang Yibai. Don't let him waste his future.
I...
I won't do that.
I don't feel like Tang Yibai's decision is destroying his future.
- Junior.- Senior,
I heard what you said earlier to Wu Yong and Yibai.
You heard and yet you...
Do you remember 4 years ago?
Four years ago, everyone gave up on Tang Yibai including you.
No one cared about the future of this abandoned child.
Only one person believed that he can come back to swimming.
I will always remember the guy who never bows down to anyone.
He begged me for the first time to give Tang Yibai another chance and allow him to stay.
You're talking about Wu Yong?
That's right.
These 4 years, I saw with my own eyes.
Yibai trained everyday in order to not disappoint Wu Yong.
Even if he knows he can't compete, he nonstop beat his own record.
We cannot even begin to understand the bond between them.
Senior, I know.
You are the Golden Pointer.
However, I believe that if Yibai stays with Wu Yong, he will be able to swim even faster.
Wu Yong is not only a coach to Yibai.
Compared to me, you trust Wu Yong more?
That's right.
I believe Wu Yong can prove
that Yibai's decision today is not destroying his future.
I will anticipate it then.
Junior, I hope you won't regret your decision.
Senior, thank you.
Thank you for advising South Physical these 2 weeks.
I am ashamed.
Actually, you guys taught me a lesson.
Sometimes, I am jealous of Wu Yong.
You and Tang Yibai are beside him and trust him.
All right.
Junior, I will continue watching your performance in Dream Cup.
Don't let me find a chance to laugh at you guys.
I'm leaving.
What are you doing walking around?
I'm thinking. Yun Duo suddenly ran out.
I don't know why.
Is it because our Yibai asked her out?
I say you should stop imagining things.
Don't intervene, either.
How could I? I'm telling you,
your son Tang Yibai and Yun Duo mutually like each other.
That eye contact of theirs. I see it.
Let me tell you.
They just need to find a chance to sit down and talk about it.
I coached Yibai for 7 years.
Since he was in high school, I started coaching him.
Before Yibai, I coached many athletes.
Some gave up because it was too tough.
Some had some achievements, but because of dating,
they gave up being an athlete.
Coach Wu, I think you have misunderstood.
Tang Yibai and I are not dating.
Really?
Let me ask you. Do you like Tang Yibai?
Maybe it's not like, but you must have good feelings for him.
I believe he feels the same for you.
- Coach Wu. - I'm not done talking.
For a swimming athlete, it's most important to be focused.
But if you have someone you like, how is your heart focused? How are you not affected?
- Coach Wu, I... - No one wants to be the bad guy.
I am the same.
But I want to be the bad guy this one time for Yibai.
Yun Duo, I believe you have high hopes for Yibai, and believe that he will become the future star, just as I do.
Can we both consider Yibai's future?
What do you mean?
Promise me. Don't see Tang Yibai anymore.
