ADDICTED
- Episode 9 -
Yin Zi...
Look. My mouth
has a coldsore. It really hurts.
Wait, I have medicine.
Does it really need cream? If you kiss it, it'll get better.
Where is it?
Here.
Here, here. Yes.
What medicine is it? How come it works so fast?
- Hemorrhoid cream.- Huh?
It's nothing. This cream can be used anywhere.
Last time, I had a mouth sore, I also used this. So don't worry.
Will it really be okay?
If I don't have any problem, will that cause side effects?
Side effects?
You might grow one or two hemorrhoids as a side effect.
This scent... Oh my... What's this?
Let's sleep.
I have to go wash it off.
Don't wash it off.
It's okay.
I can't sleep. The stench is too strong!
Wait! It'll be better tomorrow morning.
I have to wash it off.
- Are you really going to wash it? - I'm going.
Try it.
Impressive. You can even fix this?
These old phones are usually pretty durable.
You're not taking any of these things?
Look around. If you find anything useful, take it.
Look at our penmanship.
Aren't they pretty similar?
If you wanted to practice your penmanship, why didn't you tell me?
Just because of these essays, the teacher ignores me.
Then you can ignore her, too.
I should ignore you!
You can try to ignore me.
Give it to me.
I'm not done with it.
It's my essay paper.
I have to practice my penmanship.
Practice what?
Do you want to have a fight?
- So what?- Give it to me.
So you want a fight?
What's wrong?
Why are you here?
Why wouldn't I be here? It's the weekend.
But I'm moving right now.
And I don't have a cellphone. I couldn't contact you.
You don't have a cellphone? Then what's this?
That...
That's been broken for a long time.
Broken?
Who made you throw it?
We've thrown so many phones during our arguments.
And you're getting angry over that stupid phone?
That's what Yin Zi just fixed for me.
So what if he fixed it?
I dropped it. I stepped on it. So why don't you kill me if you have the guts.
Just over a phone...
Gu Hai. You're not human!
Quickly, go after her!
Gu Hai!
Why should I chase her?
Based on the fact that she came all the way to see you, for the fact that you've dated her for three years,
for the fact that you have slept with her!
Yin Zi, you know right now, I only listen to you?
Do you really want me to go after her?
Yes. You have to go.
When a woman's emotional, it's easy for her to be in danger.
Hurry up, go!
Lu Lu. Lu Lu.
Gu Hai, out of all the times we've fought,
this is the first time you came after me.
Enough already. Don't be like that again in the future.
I won't cause trouble anymore.
Don't you have to move? Come on.
Let's move together.
My stuff...
That boy already moved everything.
Where are you moving to?
Yin Zi's house.
Recently, I've been living in his house.
Gu Hai,
I'm going to ask you something.
What?
Don't you think... you're too close to Bai Luoyin?
What guy doesn't have close brothers?
Why are you picking on him?
I'm telling you... You just don't know him well.
If you knew him, you'd like him for sure.
Even though his family is poor, he has high standards.
His taste is also quite unique.
He doesn't like to smile. But deep inside,
he is a very sweet person. If he wants to be nice to you,
he won't tell you directly and expresses it in small gestures.
If you find it out, he will deny it quickly.
He is someone with a sharp mouth but soft heart.
But the truth is, he is very kind.
I have been staying at his house for free for several days already.
He will always act like he wants me to leave every day.
But if I just go home late, he will be the first one to be anxious.
Right, I forgot to say one thing. He is very smart.
That lock in our classroom, he just did something to it.
Such that pulling a rope while you're inside can lock it.
And also, my cellphone got wet in the river for so long,
but he was able to fix it.
Don't tell me that you really are moving into this type of place.
Oh my God! It's so cold but he's using cold water to wash his face.
They won't make you wash your face with cold water, right?
Alang!
Oh my! Why is there such a big dog here, too?
Um, let's go out to eat together.
Sure. I'm just going to go change.
Gu Hai... He treats you better than he treats me.
How can you tell?
He always has a long face with me,
but is always smiling when he faces you.
Isn't it that you said it yourself,
that if I'm colder, you feel safer?
Men, they're different in front of their girlfriends and their friends.
In front of his girlfriend, he has to maintain his attractive attributes.
So he must act.
This way he can get a hold of your heart. But in front of his buddies, it's different.
He doesn't need to care about his image. He can just do anything,
that's why you think that he's closer with them.
Look at that. He's better than you in speaking.
Hit Bai Luoyin.
Why would I hit him?
No reason. I just want to see.
Don't you buddies frequently fight with each other?
Aren't you being silly?
Gu Hai, I'm just joking. Why are you getting so upset?
You can't bear it that much?
He is such a big guy, so what if you just give him one punch?
Just slightly touching him as an act and you still wouldn't do it?
No way! Not only me, but nobody else is allowed to touch him!
Gu Hai, you disgust me.
If you're disgusted, leave!
Don't regret it!
Why did you make her storm off again?
What do you mean, I made her storm off?
Didn't you see her bad attitude earlier on?
I must not spoil her bad habits.
I really don't know how you two ended up being together.
You two should cool it off for a while. Frequently fighting like this is also not good.
What is it? Is it for me?
Obviously, it's in your hands. Who else could it be for?
Yin Zi, you're the best!
If you want to hug, go hug my dad!
He bought it.
He had to buy it. I couldn't stop him even if I tried.
Uncle, thank you!
What are you saying thanks to me for?
Today, if it wasn't for Yin Zi taking me there,
I really wouldn't have known which phones were good or bad.
I just think phones that don't break, make calls,
are good phones.
Yin Zi said no way.
We have to buy Da Hai a better one,
with a complete set of functions.
Uncle, don't listen to him. He's always saying nonsense.
You're just being nice because you got a present.
What about you? What do you use?
I don't need a phone. I don't really have anyone I need to contact.
It'd be a waste to have one.
You can contact me!
Oh please, you stick by me 24/7.
Why would I need a phone?
Then according to you,
I don't have anyone to contact either. I don't want it.
Don't! I actually hoped this phone would take some of your attention.
Then you must really hate this phone.
Go away.
Uncle,
what are you doing?
The past couple of days have been raining, and the roof's leaking.
The grains I just dried were all wet.
I'm going up to fix it.
Uncle, come down. Let me do it.
- You don't know how to do it - I can do it!
Dad, just come down.
Let him go up. Otherwise, he'd just be eating free meals every day at our house.
Why are you saying things like that?
- Come, let me do it - You're really okay?
I'm really fine, it's okay.
Uncle, help me take my jacket.
- Careful. - Okay.
The cement's already been mixed, just go up and scrape it on.
Put that up first. Put the cement up first.
- Right, that area there.- So, I'll just put some here?- Right...
Why won't your dad partner with Auntie Zou in opening the shop?
Why must he partner with Auntie Zou?
Think about it. That area is a prime corner.
No need to pay rent and tax and even get help from the government.
This is a business that's surely profitable.
Auntie Zou also cannot manage it by just herself. If Uncle will go help,
it then becomes their shop.
He will definitely earn more there than with his current salary.
You're thinking it too simply.
My dad will definitely not agree to that.
Why not?
Come here.
What! You're saying that Aunite Zou is not...
a widow?
Auntie Zou has a husband who is working elsewhere.
You're saying that they are afraid of people gossiping about them.
I always feel that Auntie Zou is lying to my dad.
I feel that she and her husband were already separated for a long time.
Think about it. She's lived here for so many years.
Her husband's never come home on any occasion.
Is that normal?
Did you hear what I said?
I heard it already. Didn't you say that Auntie Zou is not a widow?
Yes. But my dad is always denying it.
I feel that Uncle knows it clearly in his heart.
Aren't you bothered by your Dad being close to another woman?
I'm not. I even encourage my dad to marry Auntie Zou.
From the time I can remember already, he has always been single.
I shouldn't let him be alone forever, right?
But didn't you ever think of letting your dad and mom reconcile?
Never.
I would prefer that it was Auntie Zou,
rather than seeing him suffer again.
Honestly, my dad not wanting to partner with Auntie Zou in opening a shop
is not entirely due to fear of others' gossip.
You think about it. This shop is Auntie Zou's.
My dad will definitely not be able to throw his pride and get a share in it.
We are all men. We can understand.
If it's another woman, maybe he would agree.
But Auntie Zou... never.
You're right.
The one in the door, careful.
Sir Bai, the factory chief is calling you to go see him.
- Okay.- Hurry.- Sure.
Factory Chief.
Lao Bai. Come, sit.
- Drink some water.- Thank you.
Lao Bai, our factory has decided to fire you.
Sit. Let's talk while sitting.
Factory Chief, you know that my son has just entered senior high school.
It's the time when we need money the most.
I still have an old mother at home to feed.
She needs to see a doctor and buy medicines every month.
Otherwise,
I really couldn't bear to let someone who has worked here for more than ten years go.
Then why are you firing me?
Aren't you pushing our family to the edge?
See what you're talking about, how can I push you to the a edge?
Looks like they haven't called you yet?
Who's they?
It looks like you really haven't received their news yet.
Come in.
You're finally here. Sit.
No need to call me. Didn't I come here personally already?
This one is...
This one is Lao Bai, the one you are looking for.
Master Bai, hello.
My hands have dust on them. Let's not shake hands.
Lao Bai, this is the human resources manager of Tong Jie Air-Conditioning Company.
His surname is Miao, so just call him Manager Miao from now on.
Then the two of you chat first. I'll just go out to do some stuff.
- Go and do your work.- Okay.
Master Bai, it's like this.
Our company wants to hire you to become an engineer in our Skills Department.
Your monthly salary is 20,000 net after tax deduction.
You are even given a free trip every month.
For lodging allowance, 5000 RMB.
Meal allowance and transport allowance, 2,000 RMB each.
You work eight hours a day. About holiday and leaves...
Manger Miao,
does your company print fake money?
Master Bai, you really have a sense of humor.
It's not that I have a sense of humor.
It's just that the terms given by your company are hard to believe in.
Master Bai...
Master Bai, this is my calling card. Keep it well.
You have worked with this factory for ten years already.
The ins and outs of this factory, I'm sure you're also familiar.
Almost half of the materials our company uses are from your factory.
Your factory chief also knows me. Do you still not believe me?
The main point is, I don't know the skills required by your company.
For that, you don't need to worry.
Someone will teach you once you're there.
Since it's like that, why don't you just look for a real engineer?
Won't that save you more time and effort?
Master Bai, if you still cannot decide...
How about this. Come with me to my company and take a look around.
Your working office has already been prepared for you.
What good thing has happened today?
Dad, are you drunk before even drinking?
Your dad got a promotion.
Promotion?
You guys have positions in that old factory?
Not that factory.
It's another company who's hiring me to become their engineer.
Dad, are you just being fooled by someone?
What are you saying?
I've already signed the contract, and their terms are very good.
They're even afraid that I won't believe them and gave me 5,000 RMB sincerity money.
How about if you're free tomorrow,
I'll take you to look at my new office.
Gu Hai, come here.
What is it?
Are you the one responsible for what happened to my dad?
What about your father?
Stop pretending.
