The outside is different, but the inside is the same.
You got this for me.
No! I said don't eat it!
Congratulations everyone.
Our Dollar Lab marketing lab is officially established.
I'm warning you not to talk to me anymore!
Be gone! Be gone!
Li Bao Bei, what are you doing?
What are you guys doing?
If you really decide to get married, you'll have to let me go
because happiness is something you have to earn.
Dear, marry me.
Will you say yes?
It's none of your business.

[The Ex Man]
[Episode 5 Add as friend, End relationship]
If you don't want her to get married, then go tell her.
Will she know if you just sit here pretending
to be depressed and closing yourself off?
Of course I don't want her to.
But the thing is, who am I to tell her not to get married?
I'm her ex-boyfriend.
What gives me the right to say that?
So you don't want her to get married
yet you're here pretending like you don't know.
Of course I don't want her to. We're only 31 years old!
Isn't it too risky to get tied down so soon?
Have you thought about getting married?
Based on my current circumstances, I can't get married, even if I want to.
If you were to get married...
can you be certain about a decision that will affect the rest of your life?
No.
To only be with one person for the rest of your life...
Wow, so long and hard.
But I can be sure with a child.
If it's a child, I can be certain that I'll love him for the rest of my life.
We were just talking about marriage, yet you're thinking about children?
Isn't that going too far?
You really don't understand.
A woman's world is different from ours.
Starting from when they're young, women are forced to go faster than men.
What do you mean?
Women are responsible for giving birth.
Their bodies mature earlier than ours do.
They go through puberty and grow breasts.
So when girls become women, they become really different.
Unlike us. We were born with whatever we needed.
Nothing really changes.
So we're indifferent about growing up.
What does that have to do with her getting married?
Hey, when women turn 35, that's really old when it comes to childbirth.
It's risky.
That doesn't mean they shouldn't think carefully before getting married.
How do you know that she didn't think carefully?
Or you could be like the male leads in idol dramas.
What?
Rush to the church and stop her from getting married.
Take her away in front of all her friends and family.
She'll be wearing her wedding dress
running with you in the rain.
Then there will be some slow motion.
What if she asks me to get married? Then what do I do?
I'm sure female leads aren't as hard to deal with as Li Qin Ai is.
Who's the one that's hard to deal with?
Hey.
They're both 31.
You're not worried about the other one?
Who?
Shu Ying.
Shu Ying's doing great. What would I be worried about?
Dai Hai An! Sometimes you're really good at pretending to be naive.
To the point of being cruel.
Am I?
What did you think?
I just happened to be free today and came here to play video games with you?
Isn't that the case?
Shu Ying is really worried about you?
Shu Ying and I aren't like that.
We're just friends. It's not like you don't know that.
Wow. I really didn't know.
How can you just consider that a friendship?
If you had a conscience
you wouldn't tie her down with the word "friend."
A woman's youth lasts a very short time.
I'm going to pee.
We'll play another round later so you can get revenge.
If things could be like they were in the past
it would be pretty good.
Qin Ai.
Does it annoy you that I come here every morning like this?
No.
I couldn't find you after you suddenly ran away yesterday.
I was worried.
I'm sorry.
Why?
I should be the one who's sorry.
I know you need some time to think about it.
I was too rash yesterday.
Hey.
I bought your favorite, shaobing. (Type of flatbread).
It's waiting for you downstairs.
Hurry up.
This is delicious.
It smells good.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
You're not going to eat breakfast at the table?
Where are you going?
He's calling someone else again.
I wonder which country he's making the call to.
Let's eat together.
It's okay. I ate before going to the morning market.
You ate before going to the morning market?
Then you had to have woken up at three or four, right?
That must have been hard.
No, it's not. I like it. It's not hard.
You guys should hurry and get married.
Once you guys get married and move in together
Li Yang won't have to go through all the trouble of going to the morning market
and coming to take you to work. It must be so tiring.
I came here to eat breakfast with you.
You're such a sweet talker.
I bought a few fish this morning.
They're very fresh. I'll go cook them for you.
Really? Great. Thank you!
Are you guys fighting?
No.
Are you bullying Li Yang?
Mom!
Miss, don't be so hard to handle.
Li Yang is such a great guy.
Getting to be with him is good fortune you racked up in your previous life.
Seriously.
Are you my mother or his?
What's the difference?
If you guys hurry and get married, you'll both be my children.
I'm going to work.
Hey. You're not going to eat breakfast before going to work?
Qin Ai, wait.
This restaurant's shaobing is really good.
You must try it.
Thank you.
I'll give you a ride.
I can cook the fish when I come back.
I can go to work by myself.
Okay. Bye.
Li Yang.
What is it?
I took Qin Ai out to see an expert.
He said that Qin Ai is okay. Don't worry.
Please try to understand her.
I'll go cook the fish.
- Okay. - Keep eating. Eat while it's hot.
Okay. Thanks.
You're here. Come help me take a look.
Come over here. Hurry up.
What is it?
Help me take a look. What do you think of these men?
What is this?
- Help me take a look. - Who are they?
The men who will take care of me for the rest of my life.
Is this a matchmaking site?
Yes. There are quite a lot of single men.
You want to get married?
This is a souvenir I got from running away from my parents' home yesterday.
Running away?
It hurts!
It's because of my mom.
She lied to me and told me to go home to do this and that.
But she was just trying to introduce me to a man.
I was too nervous so I ran away and fell down the stairs.
How bad was the guy that you had to run away?
Very bad.
He was a mama's boy.
Everything on him- his suit, water bottle
handkerchief, bag... they were all chosen by his mom.
Later, my mom called me to say "It's okay."
"There are a lot of men that I can introduce to you."
Can I trust my mom when it comes to this?
I might as well just take it seriously and choose for myself.
Let me tell you something.
When a woman doesn't get married after a certain age
she's letting the whole world down.
What?
You're being forced to marry?
Li Yang proposed.
Oh my God!
I'm not at all surprised.
Neither am I.
Then why do you look like you were just told you have a terminal illness?
Because I don't know if I should say yes.
Nothing in life is perfect.
You win some, you lose some.
When you lose...
you have to wipe it dry.
Sorry.
After my careful assessment of the pros and cons of marriage yesterday
I don't think there's anything bad about getting married.
What did you assess?
Think about it.
After you get married, no one will pressure you to get married.
Your ears will be at peace. Isn't that great?
That depends on the spouse.
And after you get married, everyone will pressure you to have a baby.
Is that any different?
After you get married, you don't have to spend time dating.
Dating is so hard. Isn't that right?
Getting married so that you don't have to date... isn't the order messed up?
I thought you were supposed to get married because of love
not get married because you don't love.
You're too naive, okay?
You think we old maids have a place in the dating market?
Old maids.
You see, after getting married,
we don't have to compete with those pretty girls.
What advantage do we have?
Advantage?
You see how relaxing it is when you don't have to compete with those pretty girls?
"Marriage is the tomb of love."
"The worst is when another woman comes to rob your tomb."
Haven't you heard of that?
After you get married, maybe you'll lose a bit of freedom
but you'll also gain a sense of security.
A sense of security is something you give yourself.
Others can't give that to you.
This is great.
After you get married, you don't have to be scared
that no one will push you out in your wheelchair to enjoy the sun.
Global warming is critical right now. Who wants to be out in the sun?
The elderly probably want to be inside, with the AC.
You can split rent in half.
Isn't that great?
The freedom you get from living by yourself is priceless.
There's someone to give you a ride wherever you go. It's so great.
It's more convenient to take the subway.
And you can get a taxi whenever. Then you won't have to talk to anyone.
When I think about how I won't have to eat alone
after getting married, I feel really lucky.
When you're by yourself, you can eat whatever you want. How great is that?
So annoying! So annoying! So annoying!
What?
Anyway, it's as I said earlier.
When a woman doesn't get married after a certain age
it's like she's letting the whole world down.
You forgot that today is our wedding anniversary, right?
I didn't forget.
Then where's the present?
I really did prepare one. It will be here soon.
It better be. But how's that possible?
I saw you buy it online yesterday. How can it be delivered by today?
It's here. It's here.
That fast?
Hello. Your package.
Thank you. Thank you.
Happy anniversary.
Thank you.
24 hour, one day delivery. We will give you the best.
Cut! Great!
- Great. - Thank you.
Thank you.
How are you? Are you tired?
I'm fine.
Yesterday, that...
Let me take this call.
Hello?
Okay, I'll come.
Okay.
Try it.
You didn't just ask me here to eat, did you?
We didn't finish our conversation yesterday.
You mean about renting the place?
There's no need anymore.
No. I mean the other thing.
What do you want to say?
I'll be direct then.
Qin Ai is very important to me.
Everything I do is for her.
I accepted your reservation in the past
because of your past relationship with her.
And because I wanted to see what kind of person you were.
But after what happened yesterday
I can't be indifferent to your existence.
You mean...
that I'm affecting your relationship with Qin Ai?
Do you think that if I'd never appeared...
she'd accept your marriage proposal?
Whether or not she accepts my proposal is between us.
What I mind is you.
You should know your place.
Ex-boyfriend.
Ex.
Does Qin Ai know that you asked to see me today?
From what I know about her
she probably won't be happy about you seeing me behind her back.
What you know about her can only be used as a reference.
After all, you guys broke up.
I know your past with her is important
but I am her future.
We're both a part of her life.
So I don't care whether or not you have feelings for her now.
Let me tell you something. What you had was in the past.
You don't need to judge what we had in the past.
You chose to hurt her. I chose to love her.
We both made choices.
We have to be responsible for our choices, don't we?
Do you really think that you understand Qin Ai?
All of these foods are her favorites.
Did you know that?
Since these are her favorite foods
let's not waste it.
Wrap it up. I'll give it to her.
Qin Ai and I are friends with a past.
She'll probably be happy if I go give her lunch.
What is it?
It's really good!
You can't...
I think this is good.
You can eat it.
This one!
This one from the matchmaking site.
He's better than him.
No. I think you're messing around.
Look at this one.
- This one... - Li Qin Ai.
Don't you think you're despicable or that you've gone overboard?
What's wrong? Xiao Mei, what are you doing?
She knows exactly what she did to me.
What?
What are you talking about?
Huang Mei Zhen, what are you doing?
Why are you treating me like this?
Who do you think you are?
What?
We'll talk later.
Is this online?
Keep pretending! Keep pretending!
If it wasn't you, then who could it be?
I didn't upload this.
It's already viral. My God.
Really?
Why are you treating me like this?
I am stupid, and you always have to clean up after me.
But you didn't have to go so far as to use me like this.
I didn't know you were like this, Qin Ai.
I trusted you!
Why are you treating me like this?
I quit!
You're all nauseating and disgusting!
Xiao Mei! It really wasn't us! Xiao Mei!
Li Qin Ai.
I'm sorry about the clip of Xiao Mei being so out of control.
I'll quickly look into who uploaded it.
Great.
I'll find out as soon as possible.
I meant...
you did a great job of filming the clip.
It's just a coincidence. I didn't do anything.
You still recorded it.
Although it wasn't intentional.
I didn't upload it.
Who exactly uploaded it?
It's okay.
Let's set aside who uploaded it.
Let's talk about the results.
Did you know that
since it was uploaded, a lot of companies want to buy ads.
The higher ups are really happy.
They hope that you continue to create these kinds of films.
Chief Editor, what do you mean create?
You're the one who uploaded it.
I told you, who uploaded it isn't important.
What's important is the result.
That was the intention, wasn't it?
That was Xiao Mei's private life.
How can you just treat it as a result? That's not right.
Everyone likes watching something private.
But do you care about it?
Maybe some people will think that it's fake.
Xiao Mei was really good at acting, right?
It's nothing.
If it's nothing, then why bother filming more?
Qin Ai.
You've always put in a lot of effort at work.
You rarely disappoint me.
I've already suggested to higher-ups that they promote you to office manager.
As long as I film more of these kinds of films?
You want to be a manager, right?
[Ethics and Morals of News]
- Thank you. - It tastes good.
Is it good?
Boss, come have some.
You didn't add anything to it?
- That's right. - It only has the sweetness of tomatoes.
- It's really good. - Which restaurant is this from?
I want to bring Qi Qi there. Which restaurant is this from?
It's just soup.
Is it that great?
It's very good.
Would you drink this for all three meals?
No, right?
What's so great about it?
Why don't you have tea then?
There's tea here. Do you want it?
I could drink this for all three meals. It's really good.
[To Xiao Mei: I'm sorry.]
[To Xiao Mei: It really wasn't me.]
Hello?
Are you at home?
Yeah.
I thought you'd come over for dinner tonight.
I'm tired today.
Are you okay?
Yes.
In the afternoon...
What?
Dai Hai An.
Our collaboration has ended.
Oh.
You don't mind, right?
Why would I mind?
I know he's your friend.
But that's between you guys.
Did you see anyone today?
What?
Nothing. It's nothing. Forget it.
Get some rest. Good night.
Good night.
You don't need to judge what we had in the past.
You chose to hurt her. I chose to love her.
We both made choices.
Do you really think that you understand Qin Ai?
Li Qin Ai, what are you doing?
I want to suffocate to death.
You're so feeble-minded.
Is it right for a 31-year-old woman to do this?
So what if I'm 31?
31-year-olds can't be pessimistic?
Of course you can.
It's just that today, you saw the courage of a 22-year-old.
As a 31-year-old, don't you think it's embarrassing to be so pessimistic?
She's 22 years old, she can be an angry youth.
She can give up the whole world and start all over.
I'm 31.
I can't.
What are you doing?
I think your life is about as big as this frame.
You think I want to stay inside this frame?
Go away.
I have to support my mom, my brother, and myself.
If I don't stay inside this frame, what will they do?
I can't just quit.
Even though your chief editor is a bastard?
My bastard chief editor is indeed a bastard.
But he has his difficulties.
You can't just look at things from one side.
You're actually speaking up for him?
A business needs to run.
You must generate hits to generate income.
This is the chicken and the egg problem, understand?
Li Qin Ai, everything you're saying sounds like something an adult would say.
Because I am an adult. I just have a baby face.
So in the adult world, you take other people's problems as your responsibility?
And you don't ask yourself what you want?
Honestly, I don't know what I want.
Then do you know what you don't want?
Why are there choices for everything in life?
Do you want to eat? Do you want to drink?
Do you want to change jobs?
Do you want to break up? Do you want to get married?
Why are there so many choices?
Why can't the heavens help everyone
and decide everything for us?
Including who you marry?
Yes. That would save me so much trouble.
What?
Li Qin Ai, I didn't know you were so depraved.
In short, I just wish that life had a schedule.
When should I be doing what?
Who I should date, who I should marry, what job I should be doing
should be arranged so I don't have to make choices.
I have trouble with choosing.
Including when to poop?
You--
Mr. Pig rode his bike with Squeaky.
They're going to watch a movie together.
When they arrived at the theater--
Fortunately, the clip is already recorded.
So the restaurant portion not being recorded
doesn't really affect much.
Oh.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I think you've become weird after seeing Li Qin Ai that day.
Have I?
Is she getting married?
Let's not talk about her.
Let me ask you.
Have you thought about getting married?
Marry who?
If you could, and I mean if...
if it's for Qi Qi, would you marry me?
This hypothetical question is too impractical.
And as far as I'm concerned, marriage...
I would think about it, but it's not that important.
You.
After seeing Li Qin Ai getting a proposal
you must be questioning your life.
Sometimes I really hate you.
Why do you hate me?
Why is it always like you're living inside my brain?
Why do you always know what I'm thinking?
It's really obvious, okay?
You think you're hiding it well?
Am I not?
Li Qin Ai's life has nothing to do with you anymore.
Her marriage is her business.
If you want to interfere
can you be responsible for her life?
Dai Hai An, let me tell you something.
A woman might only come across the chance of happiness once in her life.
What if this is it for her?
Doesn't she look really happy now?
Why don't you give her your blessing?
You can't be so selfish. Otherwise, she'll hate you.
What about you?
What about me?
Will you hate me in the future?
This is beautiful!
You spent the whole night making the eggs in such a way.
You didn't even sleep so you could cook all these new dishes?
- Yeah. - Seriously!
Qin Ai, you came at just the right moment.
Let me tell you. Li Yang--
You didn't sleep all night, right?
It was all just to make these. Look.
Our stomachs will be so lucky over the next few days.
We'll have a feast.
I'll go wash up and change for work.
- Have some breakfast. - Qin Ai.
I'll take you to work.
Let's have breakfast, okay?
You have to save this for tomorrow.
How can we save it for tomorrow?
It'll be more appetizing then.
Come here. Let's have some breakfast.
You have to go to work later.
Qin Ai.
If you feel really stressed out because of the proposal
let's temporarily forget about it.
It's not because of your proposal.
It's because you--
you'd actually pull an all-nighter just to cook food for us.
I shouldn't have said that.
It's okay.
Actually, I'm happy that you're telling me how you feel.
Really.
Wait.
You forgot to eat breakfast.
I'll come pick you up at night and we can have dinner together.
Why are you hiding here by yourself?
Do you know we broke 10 million?
I just came out for some fresh air.
I guess Dollars Lab's first attack can be considered a success.
With you here, of course.
Don't worry.
I won't hate you.
Huh?
Oh.
I know you treat me as a friend. Me too.
So don't think too much about it.
I'm thankful that you've been helping me take care of Qi Qi.
But that's not the reason I don't have a boyfriend.
It's because I haven't found a man who's good enough.
You probably don't want me to find some random guy to be Qi Qi's dad, right?
Of course not.
Whoever wants to be Qi Qi's dad must go through me first.
See? With you saying things like that, how will I be able to get a boyfriend?
That better be it.
Yeah. It's because you're too outstanding.
All right, I'll head down now.
Otherwise, they might burn down the office and I wouldn't know.
I'll stay here a little longer.
Qin Ai, come here.
I met him.
Who?
That guy.
Which guy?
That guy!
When did you have a guy?
I do! The guy from the matchmaking site.
How did you know it was him?
Because I saw his nose... it's unforgettable.
He seems to work in this building.
Really?
I really don't think these blind dates
are suitable for us mature and sophisticated women.
What happened?
Do you know how much he exaggerated?
Yesterday, the guy was really chauvinistic.
He didn't even consider his own looks and immediately asked
"Miss, how old are you?"
But didn't he already know that information?
Exactly. How am I supposed to know why he asked me that?
Could it be that I don't look 31?
I think you must look younger.
Why did you pause for so long before saying that then?
Age isn't important.
Age is important!
But 31 isn't considered old in the dating market.
Then you should've seen that extremely chauvinistic Mr. Pig yesterday!
The way he looked at me was like I was a piece of meat being sold at the market.
So this is how it is. I understand.
A woman's worth...
why does it fall the older we get?
Why are men more valuable the older they are?
I don't think that way.
Who exactly determines the value?
It's not like this is a market selling pork
where you have to measure the weight of each piece.
When the value of vegetables declines, the market has its ways of protecting it.
There are people who will catch all the bugs that eat the vegetables.
But when the value of women declines, who protects it?
If someone wants to marry you, hurry and marry him.
Don't become like me
getting picked apart by others.
I'm reapplying my makeup!
Why are you reapplying makeup?
Because I don't look 31!
Oh, here you are. I'm stepping out for a bit.
- Where are you going? - I'm going to see Joyce.
Joyce? I haven't heard that name in a while.
You didn't take what I said earlier about
getting married as soon as you can seriously, right?
Were you being serious?
To myself, it was serious.
To you... just be yourself.
Okay. Bye.
Bye bye.
[Do you want to grab a late night snack tonight?]
Back then, when you gave up everything to open this restaurant
weren't you scared?
I was. I was scared to death.
How could I not be scared?
But that's the really interesting part, isn't it?
Because I was scared, I truly cared about it.
And I gave it my all to do well.
Then, did you think about failure?
Of course.
But my mind was clear.
Because even if I fail
it would be different from what I had imagined in the beginning.
Usually, it's not as bad as you think.
So it's useless to keep thinking about it.
So optimistic.
That's not really true.
Everyone has moments where they're hesitant and struggling.
But when you feel hesitant
and feel like you're struggling
that's when you can truly reflect
on what exactly you want.
You said it so well.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- You can get back to work. - Okay, no problem.
Long time no see.
Joyce.
Have a seat.
Do you have to go back to work later?
Then I'll make it quick.
Can we get a hot sencha?
- Okay, coming right up. - Is that right?
You still think of me as your boss?
Yeah.
After all, you're the one who brought me into this field.
Then, would you be interested in working with me again?
What?
I'm planning on creating a new kind of media platform.
The content will be on the new lifestyle choices of today's people.
New lifestyle choices?
Like this restaurant for example.
Did you know this used to be a house?
The roof had holes in it.
Then the homeowner spent money renovating it.
From when it was neglected to when it was reborn and newly renovated
it's full of stories.
And this story comes from its owner.
Her... her lifestyle choices.
And it comes from her system of values, ideas, and attitude.
It sounds interesting.
If it wasn't interesting, I wouldn't be doing it.
But because I'm still in the startup phase, I don't have enough funds.
I can't give a high salary.
And it will probably be like this for a while.
What? Are you under pressure?
A little.
What's wrong?
Although I feel powerless at work right now
I wouldn't dare to give up my job.
And my family has financial burdens.
What will I do if I fail and have no other way out?
Is it too late to change fields?
I wonder if I'm too old.
Are you talking about me?
No!
No, no, no!
That's not what I meant.
You're still scared of offending others, huh?
It's like I said before.
If someone likes you, they'll still like you even if you say 100 bad things.
You'll understand when you grow up.
But Joyce
when I heard you say this when I was 22
I thought I'd understand when I was 25.
But I still didn't understand when I was 25.
I thought I'd definitely understand when I turned 30.
I'm already 30 and I still don't understand.
Most things in the world don't have a standard answer.
You just have to follow your heart.
Then what do I do if I don't even understand my own heart?
Then throw yourself into the unknown
and open all sorts of possibilities.
Be completely open and slowly explore.
Do you want to be a fish that lives her whole life in the fish tank
being fed by someone and not knowing what she's living for
or do you want to be a fish that lives in the ocean
hunting for her own food and living for herself?
- What? - What are you doing?
We'll talk later.
- Fine! - Can you...
How can you!
We'll talk at home.
The chief editor really wants you to work on it?
Why else would I work on it?
He's sick.
These kinds of clips get a lot of hits.
The whole world is sick.
Hey, do you remember why we wanted to work in the news industry?
I think that sometimes, we'd be happier if we remembered less.
I'll just--
- What is it? - Chief Editor, can I talk to you?
- I need to go to the bathroom. - Just for a minute.
Okay, fine. Come in.
That...
Hurry and speak.
Are you serious about reproducing Xiao Mei's clip?
What kind of question is that? Did it seem like I was joking?
Xiao Mei worked under me.
I understand her personality.
I'm afraid she'll become depressed after seeing this clip being reproduced.
Are we talking about the same Xiao Mei?
You saw how agitated she was that day.
You're not worried?
If I worried about everyone, how could I do my work?
I have to worry about myself first.
Li Qin Ai, tell me.
Do you want to be promoted to office manager?
It's okay. Take your time thinking about it.
Tell me after you're done thinking about it.
I need to go to the bathroom, okay?
Get in the car.
Did work go well today?
If it went well, it wouldn't be work.
I'm sorry. There's a lot going on. I don't know where to start.
It's okay. Just tell me slowly, one by one.
It's okay. It's just little things.
Let's listen to the radio.
Shopping platform spokesperson and sales genius Dai Hai An--
Do you want to be a fish that lives her whole life in the fish tank
being fed by someone and not knowing what she's living for
or do you want to be a fish that lives in the ocean
hunting for her own food and living for herself?
Here it is.
Here's the rice.
The fish is really fresh today.
You must try it.
And you must add some broth to this asparagus and shrimp rice.
Eat.
Let's go out to eat today, okay?
Okay.
Where do you want to go eat?
Did you know that
I actually don't like the rice you add broth to.
I like eating plain white rice.
Sorry, I never knew.
I was too careless.
It's okay, I'll switch with you.
Why aren't you rejecting me?
Why are you always so gentle?
You always let me have my way and always apologize.
You always say it's okay.
Is this the life you want?
When you're like this
I feel so useless.
Qin Ai...
I know I shouldn't have proposed to you in front of Dai Hai An.
I was too rash and didn't consider your feelings.
It's okay. I'll apologize.
No! No! No! This has nothing to do with Dai Hai An.
This is a problem between us.
Do you really want to marry me?
Do you like the way we're living?
Are you happy?
Qin Ai, I seriously want to marry you.
I don't mean to pressure you. I can wait.
I'll wait until you think about it carefully, okay?
Wait for me?
You don't want to pressure me. You'll wait until I think about it carefully.
Why is it all me, me, me? What about you?
Marriage is between two people.
It's both of our futures.
But I can't even see you.
I can't see what you're thinking.
Qin Ai, don't be like this, okay?
Why won't you argue with me?
Just once in a while, can you argue with me?
Why should we argue?
I need to know what you're thinking!
Qin Ai, I just want to be with you.
Do you really need me?
I really don't know what I have that you need
because you've never talked about it.
You don't complain.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll switch this for you.
No!
It's okay. I'll take care of it.
No, okay?
Li Qin Ai!
What exactly am I doing?
Li Yang treats me so well.
Why can't I just accept how good he is to me?
Why...
Nothing has changed but...
I can't go back to the way things were.
I think...
You just really miss
the person you were back then when you loved courageously.
The person I was when I loved courageously.
Look. My dad bought me a cell phone.
That's great. Now I don't have to call your home phone.
Every time I call your home, your mom and the others are so cold.
How is that possible? My mom is so cute.
I've never met them.
Do you want to meet them?
Do you want to come over for dinner?
I don't think that's a good idea.
What?
Nothing. I forgot that we made plans to go to the internet cafe.
Can you go home by yourself today?
Fine.
Then I'm off.
Hey.
Don't play too late.
I'll call you tonight.
Okay, don't worry. Bye bye.
Didn't we say we'd book the whole place?
Let's go.
Bye.
Why isn't there hot sauce? How am I supposed to eat this?
The prices of vegetables have gone up recently.
I don't know what's going on.
Last month, gas prices went up.
Now I'm hearing that
the price of electricity and water will go up too.
Everything is going up. It's killer.
Bao Bei, give me the remote control.
Give it to me.
Hand it over.
Why are you watching TV when you're eating?
Just let him watch it if he wants. Why are you being like this?
Yes, yes. You can be the good guy. I'll be the bad guy.
You've spoiled the two children rotten.
Li Qin Ai.
Give me the phone.
- Give it to me. - Mom!
Hey! Why are you on your phone during dinner?
It's all your fault.
Cell phones are so expensive.
You bought one for her just because she said she wanted one?
You didn't even ask me. What's the meaning of this?
It's not like you spend a lot of time at home.
How can I discipline the children?
I'm done eating. I'm going out for a walk.
Hey. Hey! What's the meaning of this?
What do you mean the meaning of this?
I said, what's the meaning of this!
Why are you treating me like this?
What are you talking about?
Am I not doing my all for this family?
I think you're feeling guilty.
You're feeling guilty and that's why you're being so sneaky!
You're feeling guilty and that's why you're avoiding me all day!
You buy so many things to get on the kids' good side.
I've been with you for so long and been through so much hardship.
Why won't you buy me anything to get on my good side?
Get on your good side for what?
I give you food and a place to live!
I'm raising two kids! How is this not being on your good side?
When we were at our poorest, didn't I also work two jobs
and help you raise two kids?
- Did you earn any more? - Didn't I?
Fine, even though you earned more, then what?
Where did you spend all that money?
Can't say anything, can you?
All right, all right.
I've put up with you for a long time.
I can't put up with your hysteria the whole day!
I'm hysterical?
Who's the one that made me hysterical?
So baffling!
Miss!
He turned off his phone.
Let me just say that I don't have anything to eat at home.
Then why didn't you buy anything just now?
It doesn't make a difference. Whatever.
- I'm hungry. - You can only make ramen.
You can get full from ramen.
What are you doing here?
Hey, I just remembered that I bought the latest comic book.
Come read it at my place.
Okay?
I've bought other new ones too.
We'll go to his place another day.
Come to my place.
Why aren't you at home?
Sorry, I...
I was out singing too late so my phone died.
Don't you think you're being too much?
Don't be angry.
What do you take me for?
- My girlfriend. - No guy treats his girlfriend like this!
Who told you to not like coming out to play with all of us?
Why do we have to go out with a whole bunch of people?
It's more fun with more people.
Yeah. So it's not fun with just me.
It's not the same.
Why was Zhong Shu Ying there?
Everyone was just going out to have fun.
Fine. Call her! Call her! Call her!
- What are you doing? - Don't you like her? Call her!
If you don't like her, then why are you still tangled with your ex-girlfriend?
What ex-girlfriend?
Don't pretend.
I know you two used to be together.
It was just a joke back then.
I wasn't being serious. We're just friends.
Since you've dated before, it's not possible for it to be a pure friendship.
That's you, not me.
Shu Ying and I are just friends.
Stop looking for excuses!
You know I mind her! Why did you go out and have fun with her?
I didn't just go with her, okay?
We all went out to have fun. Didn't you see?
Lies!
Then what do you want me to do?
- Do you want me to lie? - I want you to be honest!
Fine. I'll say it one last time.
Zhong Shu Ying and I are just friends.
I, Dai Hai An, have never loved her.
I don't believe you.
I don't want to say anymore.
Why are you lying to me?
Why are you treating me like this? You made me wait so long!
All right. All right!
It's really nothing.
Why won't you trust me?
Don't be angry.
Li Qin Ai.
If you really want to clear things up, you can go see him.
Hello?
Yes, it's Li Yang.
Has Qin Ai contacted you?
No, no. It's nothing.
Can you call me when she gets home?
Yes. Thank you. Bye bye.
Ring it.
How can he know you're here if you don't ring the bell?
I'm still thinking about it.
Thinking about what? Just ring it.
Stop messing around!
I'll eat with you.
No.
You have to ask me before you eat anything, you understand?
Did you hear me?
Don't pretend like you can't hear me.
- Don't mind her. Let's go inside. - Qi Qi!
Take off your shoes.
Li Qin Ai. Coward.
Li Qin Ai--
Why did you do that just now?
Didn't you want to see him?
It's none of your business who I want to see. Go away!
But he didn't see you.
Why is everyone moving forward...
and I'm the only one at the start?
The answer is with him.
Go ask him.
What's there to ask?
Isn't his relationship with her clear enough?
He likes being ambiguous.
Why won't you let me go?
I just want to live my life.
All this chaos...
It's all because you appeared!
You made me mess everything up!
Give me back my life!
I want you all to disappear!
You, you, and you!
And you!
Yeah, how old are you?
Be courageous!
Go be brave!
Go ask him.
Come on. Go ask him.
It's enough that Li Yang loves me.
I don't want anything else.
Give me my life back.
Give me back my life without you!
You didn't see him.
Yeah, how old are you?
Don't be...
Qin Ai.
You're awake.
Are you okay?
Li Yang.
How come he's not here yet? Hold on a second.
Let's get married, okay?
Is something wrong?
She's awake.
Are you okay?
The doctor will be here soon.
No matter what happens in the future
the most important thing is being with you.
Aren't you happy that she found a home?
Then do you know what you want?
You're just a supporting actress.
I'm also just a supporting actor.
More and more new things come out, and it gets harder and harder to choose.
I don't know why, but in the end, I still chose this.
Hey, Qin Ai.
I want to congratulate you again.
Thank you.
