[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 21 -
Hand them over.
Coach Wu, you didn't notice for the past 4 days, it's the last day.
Let us go.
You thought I didn't know that you took them?
You thought I wouldn't count? I counted and 4 were missing.
I knew you guys took it. Take it out.
And you Yibai. You broke the rule of using the phone.
Go out and run 10 laps around the lake.
- Now! - Yes.
Coach Wu, I stole the phones. Why are you only punishing Yibai?
I punish him because he is distracted and unfocused on training. Stop wasting your breath.
Everyone go to sleep.
What time is it?
It's been so long. Why isn't Yibai home yet?
Does he really not care about me dying?
Tang Fei, you liar.
What did you promise me when we married?
You said you would treat me as your baby forever.
I'm sick like this and yet you're laughing.
Seriously, none of you are good.
I feel like you're amazing.
In order to matchmake Yibai and Yun Duo,
you sure are good at pretending.
I'm acting?
I did originally want to act sick.
However, I really got sick from you.
You... Look.
37.1 degrees Celsius. It's almost 38.
- Really?- Yes.
Did you eat your medicine? I thought you...
My body aches.
Porridge is ready.
I bought you cold medicine.
Before taking the medicine, eat some food.
This is some porridge I made.
- Okay, okay.- I made some side dishes too.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Eat up.
Okay. Thank you, Yun Duo.
Don't be so polite Uncle and Auntie. You guys take care of me. I should take care of you too.
Such a caring girl.
If someone's family
have Yun Duo as their daughter in law, they'll be so lucky.
Auntie, your condition seems better now.
No. My chest feels stuffy.
I can't breathe.
What time is it? Why isn't Tang Yibai home yet?
Auntie Lu, sorry. I didn't call Yibai.
You... Why not?
Because he has a competition soon. They are having a private training.
I know he put a lot of effort for the competition.
It's better to not distract him or get him sick.
That's why it is best to not distract him and allow me to take care of you.
You seem considerate for Yibai.
Even your Auntie didn't think that she might get Yibai sick.
Uncle, Auntie, even though Yibai can't come home, I'll take good care of you.
Thank you.
Auntie Lu, you're welcome. Try the porridge.
I'll try it.
Yummy.
It tastes good.
Eat more.
Are you okay? What's wrong?
I'm fine. My landlady is sick so I had to take care of her. I didn't rest well.
Don't move. Let me see.
You seem like you have a fever. How can you work?
I still have to go wait for Sun Yang later.
You're sick like this. How can you interview Sun Yang?
- Where are we going?- Hospital. See the doctor.
No need. I'll just drink some water.
Don't be stubborn. Let's go.
Even though you guys made your relationship public,
you don't have to show off your love in the office.
Also, Yun Duo, I thought you were my friend.
Why didn't you tell me you were with Lin Zi?
No. How could I be with this brat?
What brat? You forgot your savior.
Look at who else is discussing about your scandal with Tang Yibai online.
I'm the one who stepped out and took the blame for you.
Took the blame? What does that mean?
Look. Who would complain about taking the blame for his girlfriend?
You are so good at acting on impulse.
How about we switch spots? You can be the mentor and I'll be the disciple.
So, you're not really dating Lin Zi?
Of course. He made that up because Tang Yibai's fans were all over me.
Oh right. Tang Yibai is back from his training today. I'll tell you some important points in a bit.
Let's go.
You must pay attention to it.
- What are you waiting for? - Nothing.
Don't lie to me.
We finally came back from the private training.
You must be anticipating.
What am I anticipating for?
Today is the designated exclusive interview date between our beauty reporter Yun Duo
and future star athlete Tang Yibai.
You must be waiting for Yun Duo, right?
Tang Yibai.
Did you prepare this?
Yes, Yun Duo specifically told me that's your favorite drink.
What about Yun Duo? Is she okay?
To be honest, not really.
Because of your incident with Yun Duo, our boss was thinking about canceling this interview.
But Yun Duo insist on continuing this interview even if it means switching the reporter.
She said she doesn't want people to miss out on the chance to know you because of her.
She also said, "during this time when everyone is misunderstanding Tang Yibai,
I want them to see the real him."
What's with you?
Nothing.
I can imagine the scenario of her arguing with your boss.
Yea. Yun Duo really cares about you.
Even though she's sick, she still organized your info for me.
[Exclusive interview for Tang Yibai]
This is all the info I organized about Tang Yibai.
Flip the pages. Take a look.
Yun Duo reminded me that when filming your training...
When filming him, don't get too close with the camera.
Or else he would get distracted.
You have to compete soon. You don't have much time.
You must not be affected by our filming.
Also, he doesn't speak a lot during the interviews.
However, I discovered he would have much more to say after he drinks some pomegranate juice.
So, I recommend that you prepare some for him.
- Pomegranate juice? - Yes.
Alright.
He always act cool, but he's just like a kid sometimes.
Also, I have this. These are the records of my past interviews with Tang Yibai.
I'll give it to you now.
Yun Duo?
Cheng Mei, please.
You must do well on this interview.
Allow everyone to know how hard Tang Yibai have worked for his dream.
Don't worry. I know.
Thank you.
You should take care of your body.
I'm fine.
Good luck!
I talked so much about what Yun Duo asked me to do. I must be wasting your training time.
How about we get started?
Where's Yun Duo?
- Yun Duo? - That's right. Where is she?
I don't know. She should be in the office.
Tang...
Tang Yibai, stop right there.
Where are you going? Finding Yun Duo?
Coach Wu. Yun Duo is sick. I'm going to go see her.
You don't have the time to take care of others right now.
Since you met her, nothing good has happened.
Cut the relationship now that you got the chance.
It's the best for you and her.
Coach Wu, I can confidently tell you.
Yun Duo's appearance is the best thing that has happened since I came back to swimming.
When others accused me,
it was Yun duo who trusted me and spoke up for me.
Even if Tang Yibai failed his drug test,
you can't prove that he purposefully used drugs.
If you want to say so, please provide evidence.
When I was at my lowest moments, when I was stuck at a barrier,
when I forgot my starting point,
It was Yun Duo who gave me the strength to solve my problem.
I know that you feel pressured after Zheng Lingye got disqualified today.
Tomorrow is your individual competition.
So, I hope that I can gift you this goggles to encourage you
As long as you don't give up, your dream is right in front of your eyes.
Coach Wu, sorry.
My god, when can I interview Sun Yang?
I must think of a plan.
[QK Video]
In this world, you are the first...
Yun Duo?
Even though I can't interview you now,
I will keep our promise.
What are you saying?
Lin Zi?
Sorry sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Are you okay?
I don't know. I feel a bit light-headed.
I can't see clearly.
How can you interview Sun Yang when you're so tired?
Alright. Don't do anything.
I'll take you to the hospital.
You can't do anything if you don't take care of yourself.
No, I can't.
This interview is important. I can't be eliminated
because we made a promise.
With the identity of a reporter, I must watch Tang Yibai achieve his dream.
So... So I must become an official reporter.
I have to do well and then go interview...
Yun Duo, Yun Duo.
Hi, how can I help you?
Hi, I'm Yun Duo's friend. Is she here?
Tang Yibai?
Tang Yibai.
Are you here to find...
Is Yun Duo here?
I knew it.
She's not here. She's waiting for an interview.
- Do you know what that means?- Waiting for an interview?
She went to interview Sun Yang.
Sun Yang. Sun Yang.
thank you.
Tang Yibai, if you need anything, you can talk to me.
[Outpatient]
Why am I here?
What's going on?
You fainted just now.
I told you to go to see the doctor if you're sick.
You won't listen. Look at how serious your sickness is now.
- I still have to go... - Alright.
Lie there.
You're sick. How can you interview Sun Yang?
I know you're anxious, but if you need to interview such an important person.
He's even a world-level athlete.
That's so unprofessional if you interview him when you're sick.
You can say it is harmful for them.
You're right. I didn't think of that.
Don't think about anything. Just rest up.
In a bit, I'll take you home after the IV drops. That's final, then.
Close your eyes.
That's right. I forgot.
You can't think about work.
Thank you. I forgot to thank you Lin Zi.
[QK Video]
Thank you. I'll be going.
The doctor said you'll be drowsy after taking the medicine.
How can you go when you can't walk straight?
I'll take you inside.
No need.
You should stay away from me or else it'll spread to you.
Alright, stop acting tough. The doctor said you're sick because you were too tired.
- Alright. Let me carry you. - No Lin Zi.
- Alright. Come up. - Alright I'll listen to you.
I'll listen. I'll walk on my own.
Don't come over here.
Yun Duo is very sick. She doesn't want to get you sick.
You should head back.
That's right. I'm very sick.
This is the most important time before your competition. Nothing can go wrong.
Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
You're so sick and you still worry about me?
Don't come over. I'm serious.
If you take one more step, I'll be mad.
Alright. Don't worry. I'll take care of Yun Duo.
Head back first.
Let's go. I'll help you.
Be careful.
Careful.
Be careful.
Change shoes.
Hey Yun Duo, what's going on?
- I'm fine. - Hi.
Aren't you the one who said Yun Duo is your girlfriend?
No. He's only my colleague.
Colleague?
Then what is this hand doing here?
It's nothing. I just fainted, so he took me to the hospital.
What's going on? Fainted? Where are you feeling sick?
Did I not take good care of you?
Old Tang, come help out.
What is it? Where aren't you feeling good? Tell me.
- I'll be fine. - We don't need your care.
We can take care of her.
- Be careful. - We don't need you.
Yun Duo. Yun Duo.
She's very weak right now. She can't stand for too long.
Where's her room? I'll take her to her room.
Follow me.
This little brat isn't simple.
Lin Zi, go back to the office.
Don't worry. I'll leave once you sleep.
Thank you today. I bothered you all day.
Also, if it you didn't tell Tang Yibai that I was very sick ealier,
he might really get sick from me.
Alright. How many times are you going to thank me?
To be honest, I feel responsible.
As an assistant, I must take good care of you.
It's not that serious.
When have you ever met a big shot intern like me? I even have my own assistant.
I've been healthy since I was young.
I'm fine.
I'll be very lively after I sleep.
If you don't believe me...
You love to act strong. I can't stop worrying about you.
It's not good to eavesdrop their conversation.
Be quiet. I'm not eavesdropping.
I'm protecting Yun Duo.
She's a girl after all. Don't speak.
Dad. Mom.
Why are you back?
What are you guys doing?
Nothing. Let's go.
Nothing. Nothing.
Tang Yibai?
Why are you here?
You you. You guys know each other?
Yun Duo is fine. She's asleep. You can head back now.
This is my house.
This is your house?
So, Yun Duo has been living at your house?
That's right.
Thank you.
Why are you thanking me?
Thank you for helping me take care of Yun Duo.
Then, you must be misunderstanding.
What I'm doing has nothing to do with you.
All that I'm doing is for Yun Duo.
Tang Yibai, let me ask you. If the girl you liked got sick,
but you have to compete,
can you ignore the consequences of being unable to compete
- to stay by her side to take care of her?- I...
If the girl you like encountered problems in work or in life,
when she needs help,
will you disregard all consequences and help her?
- I... - Never mind whether or not you have the ability to help her.
Can you stay by her side,
share her burden, listen to her complaints?
Can you be like me? At any time no matter what I'm doing,
as long as she needs me, I can appear in front of her.
Can you make this sort of promise?
If you can't, you don't have the right to like Yun Duo.
Also, you shouldn't let Yun Duo fall for you.
If she really thinks you're the most important person in her life,
it is really unfair for her.
Yun Duo is a good girl. She deserves someone who cares for her.
If you can't put her in your most important spot,
please stay away from her.
I can do it.
Before today, I don't know how important Yun Duo is in my heart.
But now I realized that Yun Duo is as important as competitions in my heart.
Yun Duo, swimming, and my dreams are not conflicting with one another
because she is my dream.
So Brother Lin Zi.
I can do all that you have said.
But, I won't leave Yun Duo for any reason.
Maybe I can't stay by her side all the time,
but no matter how far apart we are, I know, and she knows,
that she has never left my heart.
[Swimming Stadium]
Alright. Last group.
Lingye, Yibai's interview is taking forever.
Practice started. Why isn't he back?
Right?
Why are you chatting instead of focusing on warm ups?
Coach, it hurts.
I am focused on warming up.
Coach look.
you're done right? Why don't you get swimming?
Do I have to push you into the pool?
No need.
I'll go right away. Lingye, let's go.
Coach Wu.
What is it?
Is Yibai still doing the interview? Why aren't you accompanying him?
Yibai... He...
What's going on? Where's Yibai?
Yibai's interview ended. I gave him another type of training.
He probably won't be coming in today to train with everybody else.
Other training? What kind of training?
Don't mind Yibai's business. It's my business how I want to train him.
Go take care of your Qi Ruifeng.
When I was at my lowest moments,
when I didn't know how to face my barrier,
when I forgot my starting point,
it was Yun Duo who gave me the strength to overcome my problem.
Hopefully, today's news didn't affect you.
It is not what I wanted. I tried,
but I was powerless. I'm sincerely sorry.
Was she really not the one who wrote the news about Yibai's suspension?
Did I misunderstand Yun Duo?
Thank you for helping me find my past self.
The one who chases after his dreams with a big smile.
No matter what obstacles we encounter in the future, I hope that
we can both chase after our dreams with a big smile.
Remember what I said. When you feel pressured, close your eyes,
raise your hands, and breathe.
Believe me. If you follow me, there won't be any pressure.
This movement is what Yibai did before competing with Chen Ziqiang.
That was when he overcame his barrier.
I can't believe Yun Duo really taught him that.
I... Did I really do something wrong?
Hello?
Yun Duo, how are you?
I heard you got sick during an interview.
I'm fine.
Don't you have to interview Tang Yibai today?
Did it go well?
Look at you. Why are you worrying about him when you're so sick?
This time period is very important for Tang Yibai.
Through this interview, I hope that more people
will be able to see his hard work and support him.
Alright. I won't mess up.
But you. I can tell you're very sick.
How about this? I'll take leave this afternoon and go accompany you.
I'm fine. I'll be fine after sleeping.
After I get better,
I still have to go to Sun Yang's hotel.
I have to see if I can interview him.
You still need to go interview? Can you do it?
I must hang in there.
Director Liu said he will announce the intern elimination list soon.
I will definitely be eliminated like this.
I won't talk anymore. I'm going to sleep.
♫ I’ve hid for too long, but I still need a stage to perform on. ♫
♫ I calmed my heart. ♫
♫ The spotlights are on. ♫
♫ I’ve ran away for too long. The lock to my heart has already rusted. ♫
♫ I miss you so much that I don’t know what to say. I can’t stop. ♫
♫ Since that day, I closed off my heart, and never opened it again. ♫
♫ My past fatigue. ♫
♫ The weariness of pushing and pulling. ♫
♫ I am thrown in the middle of the road, ♫
♫ waiting for rescue ♫
♫ but I want to spend all of my energy ♫
♫ to protect you. ♫
♫ Say love. ♫
♫ Who let me easily open the window of love? ♫
♫ I welcome in the breeze, as it blows to and fro. ♫
♫ My troubles are enough to push me away. ♫
♫ Say love. ♫
♫ Who stirred up my emotions without a greeting? ♫
Can you be like me? No matter when or what I'm doing,
as long as she needs me, I can be there immediately.
Can you make this sort of promise?
Where's Yun Duo?
I didn't expect Tang Yibai to care about Yun Duo that much.
Xiao Cheng.
Teacher Sun.
How is it? How did the interview go with Tang Yibai?
It was good.
That's good. I thought Tang Yibai would be unhappy that you replaced Yun Duo.
Tang Yibai?
Yibai.
Tang Yibai, why are you here?
Do you need something?
I want to see your boss.
I heard Cheng Mei say that you came to see me.
There's is something I want to speak to you in person.
What is it?
I accepted QK Video's personal interview at first because of my connection with Yun Duo.
Her passion for this job won me over.
If Yun Duo is no longer the one interviewing me,
I'm sorry, but I won't participate in anymore interviews.
Do you know what you said can affect Yun Duo negatively?
I'm not afraid.
Because I know I will continue to win. I will not only win the Dream Cup.
I will stand on even higher award podiums.
By that time, I will accept only Yun Duo's interview.
So your purpose in coming here
is to remind me
that if I keep Yun Duo, it will be beneficial for QK Video?
No. I want to remind you of Yun Duo's worth as a reporter.
Not every reporter can obtain the absolute trust of their interviewee.
I'm done with what I want to say. Byebye.
A reporter's worthy.
You came because of Yun Duo?
Yibai.
Don't think your impulsive action means that you care about her.
You're wrong.
I don't need to prove to anyone how much I care about her. I am only doing what I should be doing.
You're right about one thing. Yun Duo is a good girl.
She needs someone to sincerely protect and care for her.
If I can't do that, I don't have the right to like her.
You like her?
That's right. I like Yun Duo.
I believe I already said it clearly today.
I didn't realize it before.
But recently, I can clearly see that I like her.
So from now on, I will use my own methods to protect her.
It's already 7pm.
Why are you here?
I came to see you.
No, you can't. I'm sick. It will spread.
- Go out. - Stop pretending.
I saw your patient records. You don't have the cold. You're just tired.
It's all good. Your fever is gone.
Have some porridge and then your medicine.
When you're feeling better, I'll go interview Sun Yang with you.
Thank you sir.
Let's go.
No, look at all those reporters and fans.
What if...
I don't believe that they can recognize me like this.
No. What about your training?
I admit that I ditched training to come here.
I came to see my idol Sun Yang.
It's all worth it.
- But.. - But what?
I also need to relax. I'm looking for a perfect balance between work and rest.
Didn't I tell you? I came to see my idol Sun Yang.
Pretend like you're coming to chase after my idol with me. Don't make me leave.
I'm afraid that you'll overwork yourself.
Overworked? Think about Sun Yang's 1500 meters.
Tired? Think about the senior athlete swimmers. Still tired?
Alright promise me. When we see Sun Yang later,
you must leave after taking one look. You head back to train.
Okay.
Put on your mask.
Let's go.
Act normal.
♫ It's beautiful. ♫
♫ My courage to love you ♫
♫ is an intention that doesn’t need to be faked. ♫
♫ It’s a heart that is no longer perturbed. ♫
♫ Time will not stop. ♫
♫ Even if the skies heartlessly change, ♫
♫ I will stay with you. I will embrace you until the end. ♫
♫ The world is so big, ♫
♫ even if this lifetime is so small. ♫
♫ Fortunately, with you on my mind, everything has a meaning. ♫
♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫
♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫
♫ Starting now, because of your touched heart and smile, ♫
♫ I will believe in the impulse to love. ♫
♫ This time, I must say it outloud. ♫
♫ Forgive my slow retreat. ♫
♫ Starting now, because of your existence and reliance on me, ♫
♫ we will not miss out on the future. ♫
♫ This time, I will not let go. ♫
♫ This time, there is no right or wrong. ♫
