[My Mr. Mermaid]
- Episode 25 -
Lingye!
How many times has Yibai been practicing jump start today?
Say it. She is asking you a question.
- Say it. - Say it.
How can I count?
He kept practicing. He jumps in and comes up and jumps in again.
He doesn't need to rest. He's like a robot.
I think Yibai is rushing himself too much.
You only noticed that now?
Was I talking to you? I was asking Lingye.
Do you have manners? Don't cut in our conversation.
Fine.
Lingye, she asked you. Just say it.
Learn some manners. Will you?
It's not a big deal if Yibai is just rushing himself.
But the problem is that ever since he lost the competition last week, he has changed.
He has been practicing everyday. He has not interacted or talked to people at all.
I agree. I feel that he has changed a lot. I used to think that he just didn't like to talk.
Now I feel that he has an aggressive aura around him,
telling people to stay away from him at all times.
Did you guys notice that he is slowly resembling Ouyang Heng from North Physical?
You...
What did I say wrong?
You did all right this time.
I didn't catch the timing while I was turning.
That's enough. You're not the only one in our swimming team.
Don't take over the entire place. Let us practice, too.
Aren't there more lanes?
Yes. But I want to use the pool all to myself.
Lingye, stop watching. Come time me.
You only lost a competition.
Who has never lost before?
Is it really necessary to make yourself like this?
Do you know that I really hate how you are right now?
If you're only unhappy about losing the competition,
as your brother, I won't say anything.
But you know clearly that your heart isn't thinking about that.
- You- - All right. Stop fighting.
I'm not fighting with him. I want to wake him up.
Calm down, Qi Ruifeng. Don't be like this.
Don't stop me or I'll fight all of you.
Qi Ruifeng, our team is already a mess. Stop adding oil to the fire.
Who's adding oil to the fire?
- Come with me. - What are you doing? Don't pull me.
Don't you understand?
Sometimes, I really pity Qi Ruifeng.
But I have to say that other than Runmei, Yangyang is the only one who can control him.
My ear hurts from looking at him.
It hurts. Xiang Yangyang, let go.
If you want me to let go, tell me if you have calmed down first.
I've already calmed down 800 years ago. Stop pulling my ear.
Are you a psycho? Didn't you see that I was solving Tang Yibai's problem?
You are a psycho.
Didn't you see that Yibai is feeling down now?
You still talked to him like you want a fight.
What do I do then? He's not saying anything, so I have to say it.
After what I said, he still won't say anything, then I can only force him to speak.
I beg you to please think with your brain before you act.
Why doesn't Yibai want to talk to you right now?
Because the person that he wants to talk to is not you.
You think I don't know? I already asked Yun Duo.
She is the same as Tang Yibai, not willing to say anything.
That's because the person that Yun Duo wants to talk to is not you, either.
Then, what do you think we should do? How can we help him?
Don't say anything. Let them say it themselves.
Even though I also don't know what's happening between them,
judging from the current situation, I'm certain that
they have a knot in their heart that can't be said out loud.
We have to find a way for them to untie this knot.
Thank you.
I didn't only come here to repay Yun Duo.
I like her.
I'm not only going to protect her, but I also want to be with her.
I'll get going. I'm paying the bill today. Bye.
Yun Duo!
What's happening to her today?
Maybe she really has a family emergency.
Then, let's eat.
Sorry. I don't have the appetite now.
You can eat first. I'm leaving.
Lin Zi, you-
Cheng Mei?
Yun Duo, sit.
Why didn't you tell us to eat with you?
You look so sad by yourself.
What are you talking about? I saw that you two were discussing in the office.
I didn't want to interrupt, so I came here first.
Look. This is your favorite. Right?
It's the only one left. I bought it especially for you.
Am I nice to you?
Yes, you are. I love you for ten thousand years.
Awesome.
I got the wrong drink. I'm going to change it.
- You can sit. I'll change it for you. - It's okay. I'll go by myself.
- You guys can chat first.- No, but...
Hello, I got the wrong drink just now.
For how long are you going to keep avoiding me?
Don't deny it.
Ever since you left me at the restaurant last time, you haven't talked to me.
I think you're overthinking.
Aren't we talking now?
You won't think that Yun Duo wants to match make us, and that I will misunderstand.
That's why you kept your distance.
If you really think that way, then you're wrong.
I know how important Yun Duo is to you.
I know all that you have done for her.
So don't worry. I won't fall for you.
Looks like I was overthinking, then.
Of course. But I also need to warn you.
If you continue to keep your distance from me, then you'll be the one at a loss.
What do you mean?
Because I'm Yun Duo's best friend.
If you don't get along with me,
how can I talk good about you and help you pursue Yun Duo?
You're right.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
Nothing. We were just talking about what type of girls Lin Zi likes.
I realized that it's not my type.
It sounds more like you.
Me? I'm the general type.
A lot of people are my type.
Don't doubt. I changed the lock.
If you want to open the door, come to the address below to get the key from me.
From the handsome Qi Ruifeng.
Yun Duo, what's wrong?
Why aren't you off yet? If there is nothing, go home early.
I'm fine, Teacher Sun. I'll leave after I upload my video to the database.
You can go first.
Don't stay too late.
Yangyang!
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
Don't worry. Tell me slowly.
Now?
It's okay. I'm off work now.
Send me the address. I'll go find you.
Bye.
What is it? Did something happen?
My friend called me crying.
She asked me to go accompany her. I'll go now.
I'll take you.
No need. I'll go by myself.
Bye-bye.
If you're worried, follow her.
[Currently uploading file]
No, I can't do this.
Yun Duo is my best friend.
I can't do this.
[Yun Duo, number one]
Yun Duo.
Let me see.
Xiang Yangyang, look. They bump into each other.
I know. I'm watching.
I'm so anxious. I wonder what's going to happen next.
Will they reconcile? Will they be together?
Why are you so excited?
Yun Duo?
Why are you here?
Qi Ruifeng told me to come here. You?
Yangyang told me to come.
Why am I randomly so excited?
Is it because I know I tricked Tang Yibai?
Please get the situation right.
We aren't tricking them. We are helping them reconcile.
I know we are helping them.
We am definitely helping him.
Come on in.
I came to look for my friend. He's not here, so I'll be leaving.
Me, too. My friend gave me the wrong address.
I'll leave now.
- They're coming.- Stop looking.
Yun Duo.
Sorry. I didn't come that day of your competition. I had work.
It's fine. It's good that you didn't come.
You don't want me to go, right?
I swam so bad, I'm glad you didn't come.
I'll go cheer for your next competition.
You don't have to.
I'm saying. You already switched to entertainment sector.
Typically, when I'm competing, it's your work time.
I don't want you to run off.
You should focus on your work.
Since you already said so, that's decided, then.
Sure.
Yun Duo,
thank you for being there to encourage and stay with me
during my most difficult times.
Why are you saying it like that? It's like we won't see each other ever again.
Didn't you say we are still friends?
We are still great friends.
It's getting late. Get back and rest.
Tang Yibai!
Good luck on your next competition.
I will.
You, too.
Good luck with your work.
Goodbye.
Get up. Stop hiding.
Mission failed.
Why did they leave?
Why so fast?
That's a pity. They just left like that.
What's wrong with you? Why are you being weird?
I'm not. I just feel like
they just gave up such a good opportunity.
So angry.
I'm so mad that I don't want to talk.
Why are you leaving? Wait up.
Hello, Teacher Sun.
Why is it like that?
I'll come immediately.
Can you do it?
All the databases were deleted from the hard drive.
We can't save it in a short amount of time.
My god. There's only 10 minutes.
If you can't save them, we'll have to leave our news sections blank both tonight and tomorrow!
Yun Duo, what's with you?
How could you delete all the uploaded videos of these two days?
I didn't delete them.
I only uploaded my own video today.
The last person who logged on to the database
- and the one who deleted them are both under your username.- What?
Director Liu, you have to believe her. She wouldn't do such a thing on purpose.
I guess she's been too busy and tired this week,
- and she accidentally...- Director Liu!
Director Liu. Teacher Sun.
Don't worry. I have a backup of the deleted videos in the database.
We won't have to leave our news sections blank.
You have a backup?
Because I'm in charge of the database this week.
I usually have this habit. I make a backup of each week's
new video uploads for just in case.
Teacher Sun, you always say my habit is useless,
but today, it's useful.
No, don't kid around.
- When did I say that?- Enough.
I don't have time to let you explain. Hurry and look at Cheng Mei's backup.
If nothing is wrong with it, upload it to the database right now.
- Okay, okay.- Go.
Yun Duo!
Cheng Mei helped you out this time.
But you have to know and be prepared for a disciplinary action.
Why are you still here? Go check the backup.
Go, go.
Yibai, do you have free time?
Come chat with me.
I'll wait for you.
- Yun Duo. - Cheng Mei.
Your backup should be complete.
Teacher Sun is uploading it now.
That's good.
But Yun Duo, I'm sorry.
When I did the backup, your video was still being uploaded.
So, it doesn't have yours.
Maybe, your few days' work are gone.
It's fine. You already helped me a lot.
If I didn't have you, I'd be worse off.
Don't say that. We're best friends.
- Yun Duo. - You don't have to say anything. I'm fine.
I was too careless. I need to be fully responsible.
I'll be leaving first.
Leave it.
I understand Yun Duo very well.
If you go comfort her now, she'll feel more terrible.
Don't worry. I'll go eat with her later.
I'll take good care of her for you.
I haven't drank in so long.
I almost forgot what alcohol tastes like.
Okay. Don't drink too fast.
You don't understand.
I originally wanted to use this time's drinking
to celebrate our completion of the internship period.
I never thought we'd drink in this condition.
Cheng Mei, do you think I won't be able to pass the internship period?
Do you want to hear the truth or a white lie?
The truth.
All right. I'm telling you the truth.
I think that you shouldn't worry about if you can pass the internship period.
It would even be difficult for you to even become a reporter in the future.
When I left the company today, I heard Director Liu telling Teacher Sun that
because of your mistake, he is taking a disciplinary action against you.
I'm willing to be responsible for the consequences. It was my fault this time.
See? I knew you would think this way.
You can't take it all on yourself.
Yun Duo, once the disciplinary action is taken,
you definitely can't become an official reporter at QKVideo.
Most importantly, it will follow you forever.
It will even influence your application to other companies in the future.
You're saying that not only would I fail to pass the internship period,
I also can't become a reporter in the future?
This is exactly what I'm afraid of.
Think about it. If you're the interviewer,
will you hire an intern who has faced disciplinary action?
Yun Duo, I know that
we promised each other to pass the internship period together and become official reporters.
But this time, considering your future,
I suggest you resign before the disciplinary action is taken.
Resign?
Yes. If you resign right now,
then the company has no reason to take disciplinary action against you.
When you apply to other companies, there will be no record on this disciplinary action.
Even if we won't be in the same company,
we can still be reporters together.
Drink three more shots with me.
Coach Wu, I'm sorry.
Sorry? Are you sorry because you lost the competition
or because you didn't listen to me and keep your distance from Yun Duo,
leading to an influence on your performance?
Actually, I was arrogant before.
I always thought that I could manage my relationship well, not letting it to influence my performance.
- But who knows-- The fact that you realize this
makes losing this competition worthwhile.
Yibai, I used to be against your interaction with Yun Duo.
But later I wasn't against it anymore. Do you know why?
Because I peeped at your phone.
Sorry. Sorry.
I violated your privacy. I apologize for that.
But at that time, I believed that Yun Duo would negatively influence your training and competition.
I only realize it now. Every time you improve, it's related to Yun Duo.
Including when you were encountering problems, Yun Duo did so much for you.
Now, I've thought it through. We can't just give up eating for fear of choking.
Yun Duo indeed gave me a lot of help and encouragement.
But the false start this time is because I was distracted by Yun Duo.
You can't blame Yun Duo for this.
If you want to blame, you should blame yourself for not adjusting your emotions and condition.
I know. I didn't mean to blame her.
- I only-- Yibai, Yibai.
Can you not see me as a coach,
but as an old friend,
or an older brother?
Tell me what you really think.
Actually, I don't know if this is right.
I feel that if the girl you like doesn't like you,
you should walk away decidedly as a man
and give her peace and freedom.
But now that I did that, I don't feel too well inside my heart.
Yibai, I'm not fit to give you relationship advice.
But I know this.
Even though I let my relationship influence my athletic career,
I never regret that
I fell in love with Head Coach Yuan.
So I think you should follow your heart.
I believe that you will become great and do better than me.
You will find an appropriate way to manage your relationship.
Thank you, Coach Wu.
I feel much better after talking to you.
Hold on.
Yun Duo, get in.
You go first. I'll just get another taxi.
We're not going in the same direction.
Go on. I'll get another one.
No. You drank so much. I'm worried
I'm fine. I didn't drink that much.
I want to be alone for a little while
and think about how am I going to walk this road of life.
Yibai, I really understand your situation.
In school and love...
Talking about love, who can figure it out?
Coach Wu, I have something to do. You can leave by yourself.
I'm leaving.
♫ I’ve hid for too long, but I still need a stage to perform on. ♫
Miss?
Miss, are you okay? Are you sick?
Do you need my help?
Thank you, but I'm fine.
I just drank some alcohol. I'm fine.
Be careful.
♫ 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? ♫
♫ I take back my heart that’s weak and afraid of failure. ♫
Yun Duo?
Yun Duo, are you all right?
♫ Like me. ♫
No way. How can you fall asleep under these conditions?
Let's go.
♫ In the future of the story, ♫
♫ no accidents happened. ♫
Yun Duo, did you know?
At the cafe today, when you said you didn't come to watch me compete because you had work,
I told you that it's okay and
it's better that you didn't come. None of it was truthful.
♫ Who let me easily open the window of love? ♫
What I want to tell you is,
"No. You promised me. How could you break your promise?"
You told me that when I'm competing,
you will always stand at the finish line and never move your eyes from me.
I also wanted to tell you that
I miss you.
I really do. But when you said we couldn't be together,
I lost the courage to hold you back. Am I useless?
Tang Yibai!
Give Yun Duo to me. You can go home.
Tang Yibai, what is your meaning?
I remember you said that no matter what happens,
you will never leave her for any reason.
But since you lost the competition, haven't you been avoiding her?
If you've already made a decision, don't make the matter more complicated.
This is between Yun Duo and me. There's no need for others to cut in.
Tang Yibai, you're so selfish.
When you want to leave, you leave.
When you want to come close, you come close. Have you considered Yun Duo's feelings?
Even though I'm not good enough, I still count as Yun Duo's friend.
What about you, Brother Lin Zi? Who are you to mind Yun Duo's business?
You want to know my relationship with Yun Duo?
Fine, let me tell you.
We are closer than you think we are.
Yun Duo. Yun Duo, wake up. You're home.
Why are you so drunk?
Yun Duo. Yun Duo! Wake up.
Wait a bit. I'll go find the landlady for help.
Why is there no one?
Why can't I open it?
Yun Duo.
What are you doing? Why are you here?
I'm going home. My key won't listen to me. I can't open it.
Look clearly. You're mistaken.
Your house is over there. This isn't your house.
How can I not know where my house is?
- You keep saying my house is over there. - Okay, stop messing around.
Tonight, Auntie Lu and Uncle Tang went on a business trip together.
Auntie told me to go home early to watch the house.
Erbai is waiting for me.
Look clearly. Your house is over there.
Of course, I know where my house is.
Quiet down. You're distracting me.
I need to focus on opening the door.
Also, shh.
Don't annoy the neighbors.
I said many times. Why won't you believe me?
This isn't your house. Look clearly.
You won't believe me? Let me show you.
Don't touch my door.
You broke the key.
Erbai. Erbai!
Come baby. Open the door for me.
Are you okay?
I want to go home. Where is this?
Don't kidnap me.
- Who's kidnapping you? - Stay away from me, you criminal!
Do you believe that I'll beat you up?
I'll beat you up.
All right. Stop messing around. I also want to take you home,
but no one's home and your key is broken. How do I take you back?
There's no one at my house? There is.
I am a person. I'm my house's person.
Stop it. Let's go.
My house has people. There's Erbai.
Erbai helps me retrieve my shoes.
Just sleep tight.
But your bed is quite comfy.
All right. Stop moving around.
Come.
- Tang Yibai. ♫ This world has too many “excuse me’s”. ♫
♫ I’m still waiting for your result. ♫
♫ I won’t make too much small talk. ♫
♫ Even if my brand new self ♫
♫ has recalled nostalgia before your eyes, ♫
♫ no matter how much time was spent, ♫
♫ it is merely a forgotten corner. ♫
♫ The final result isn’t that we are together. ♫
♫ Instead, it’s a meaningless vortex. ♫
♫ This scattering and disappearing plot ♫
♫ is mocking me. ♫
♫ How about you stay silent and listen to me? ♫
♫ 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 ♫
♫ or you never loved me. ♫
Your breakfast needs to be more nutritious.
Hello? It's me.
What?
You said Xiao Sang...
Okay. I got it. I'll be there immediately.
Thank you.
What's going on? Why do I keep thinking of yesterday?
Are you still thinking about yesterday?
What else can there be? Of course, Yibai and Yun Duo's situation.
That's right. I want to ask you.
Was Tang Yibai unhappy when he got back yesterday to the dorm? Did he say anything?
- No. He didn't say anything.- Really?
He didn't say anything?
Really. He didn't say anything.
That's weird.
Are you hiding something from me? Why aren't you looking at me when you're talking?
Why should I look at you when I'm talking?
You're very abnormal today.
How am I abnormal? I'm fine.
I'm acting so natural.
Qi Ruifeng. Qi Ruifeng, turn over here.
