[Sweet Combat]
[Episode 7]
The girl who came today is the one you like, right?
Mom, you could tell?
You think?
I am your eyes, showing you a taste of the vast...
How does it go?
- Sea of books. - Right.
I work here 365 days a year and see countless people.
Who are lovers? Who are in affairs? Who are flirting?
Nothing escapes my eyes.
I can tell you that she and your classmate have love in their eyes.
So, that beating you took was for nothing.
That's not possible, Mom.
Fang Yu doesn't like the type like Ming Tian.
Fang Yu and I are the most compatible.
Mama Hao, two chow meins.
Have a seat.
I got this.
It's late in the night. Stop daydreaming.
Am I your son, Mom?
I am your eyes, showing you a taste of the vast sea of books.
[Zhengze University]
[Final Match]
Those who are able to reach the final match ring
are all exceptional top fighters.
They must strictly adhere to tournament rules
as a sign of respect for each other.
That's because the ring is sacred in combat sports.
However, the red ring of Zhengze's preliminaries is different.
Athletes are divided into pairs by drawing lots.
Contenders don't know what sort of opponent they will be up against.
Each round is three minutes long.
The winner remains in the red ring
and continues on to the next challenge after one minute.
In order to preserve strength
everybody will strike without mercy to finish each round as fast as possible.
Only the last athlete standing is qualified to advance to the finals!
Contenders being carried out in stretchers during the prelims
is nothing out of the ordinary.
Don't worry!
You have us around.
Even if you don't get strong enough in time
we'll come up with a foolproof plan to keep you safe.
What's the plan?
You run so fast.
Remain quick on your feet so your opponent can't land a strike.
The opponent will then lose composure from anger and make a mistake.
There's also another rule that wasn't stated.
Anyone who steps out of the ring is disqualified.
We just need to train you to last three minutes.
We'll figure out something else for the rest.
As his trainer, why do you sound as if you have so little confidence?
If you're so confident, you teach him.
Great! I couldn't be happier to teach Ming Tian!
Why should I give him to you? He's my student!
- Didn't you just tell me to teach him? - He's learning boxing, Song Xiao Mi!
He has to learn everything, not just boxing!
Dodge and hold out?
If I take part in the prelims just to use these methods to pass each round
I'll be betraying my goal of facing adversity with courage.
Look forward.
Very good, Ming Lang. You have talent.
I'm going to grow up to be just like my brother and go to Zhengze University.
Good.
Everybody take a 10-minute break. We'll continue practicing afterward.
Why are you so pleased with yourself after a few compliments?
Zhengze University won't accept you.
Why not?
My dad said one must be trained at a young age in order to get into Zhengze.
That's why he hired an incredible trainer to train me.
- Do you have one? - Yes.
Xiao Mi, Ya Nan, and Queen will all teach me.
Liar, I don't believe you know Queen.
Ming Lang isn't lying!
Queen came to our house and even played games and ate with us!
You're a liar. Last time, you said your parents are overseas.
But your parents are already dead. You only have an older brother.
I'm not lying! It's true this time!
Who would believe a liar?
Take that back! I'm not lying!
- Stop fighting! - There's a fight!
Why are you fighting?
You all go over there.
Come with me.
Stand still.
Why were you two fighting?
Ming Lang hit me first.
Ming Lang, why did you hit him?
Because An Xiao Dong accused me of lying!
I really do know Queen!
You still shouldn't be fighting.
Ming Lang, you're already doing very well in training.
As long as you practice diligently, you can become strong too.
There's no need to say you know Queen.
Coach, you don't believe me either?
Ming Lang, where are you going?
Ming Tian, Xiao Mi! Over here!
- What are you doing? - Sit over there.
What a coincidence. You guys are here to eat too?
Duh! Do you think we come to the dining hall for class?
Fang Yu?
Fang Yu, didn't you say you hate eating here
and feel like you're a monkey being watched by everyone?
Director sent me a message
saying I have to take part in Ming Tian's training program.
When did Queen Fang Yu become so obedient?
Besides, this is a dining hall. You can only eat here, not train.
Don't eat so many carbs.
Eat more protein and low-calorie foods.
Don't worry about that.
I already have his daily calorie intake and nutrition planned out.
You'll need to gain muscle mass quickly.
Don't worry about that either.
I've prepared all his meal plans. I'll even be cooking for him.
Song Xiao Mi, why are you countering every word Fang Yu says?
Just eat your food.
Because Ming Tian isn't close with Fang Yu.
I'm afraid Ming Tian will feel too shy to refuse her.
Why wouldn't they be close?
They even came to my food stall last night for dinner.
What did you say?
We... just happened to run into each other.
No. Yesterday, Fang Yu clearly said she was treating you to dinner to thank you.
How come you're now saying you ran into each other?
Fang Yu, you treated him to dinner and didn't invite me?
What a terrible friend!
Am I still your best friend?
Ming Tian, tell me. Why did Fang Yu treat you to dinner?
What did she have to thank you for?
Sun Hao, you tell me! Why?
Sorry, I have to take this call.
Do you want a beating? Tell me what happened.
Are you going to talk or not?
Okay, I'm coming right away.
Sorry, I have to go.
Ming Tian! Where are you going?
Ming Tian!
Sun Hao!
Ming Lang!
Strange. Where else could they be?
What is it, Xiao Mi?
Sun Hao, tell me honestly and in great detail. Don't leave out a word.
Why did Fang Yu have to thank Ming Tian?
I forgot to ask.
You forgot to ask?
How could you forget something so important?
What's in that head of yours?
I can't believe I was so careless!
How could I let them pair up?
Sun Hao, do you like Fang Yu?
Of course I do!
So are you locked onto your target
and won't be swayed?
Yes!
Otherwise, I would be a jerk!
Very good!
Very few people can maintain such a steady heart rate
after seeing my magical lips.
It's decided!
From this moment on, you're not to let Ming Tian get close to Fang Yu.
But I already told Ming Tian to help me pursue Fang Yu.
How could you be such a fool?
Let me tell you a story.
Long, long ago
there was a worker who had to go to work far away.
He was afraid his girlfriend would run off
so he wrote love letters to her every day.
Do you know what happened in the end?
His girlfriend still ran off with someone else.
Do you know who his girlfriend ran off with?
No.
It was the postman.
He's so unlucky.
Yes, he sure was unlucky.
But someone invited this bad luck on himself
and is letting this story play out again.
Me?
I understand, Xiao Mi!
What a wake-up call!
But what should I do now?
Simple.
I will launch an all-out offensive against Ming Tian.
If Ming Tian becomes mine, Fang Yu will be yours.
Xiao Mi, you're brilliant!
That's a deal! A promise made must be a promise kept!
Let's form an alliance now. Put up your hands.
Hurry up.
Repeat after me.
Meow!
Congratulations on joining the Meow Meow Chu Love Alliance.
What does this do?
Hello, Coach? Did Ming Lang return to school?
Then let's keep in contact.
If we can't find him, we'll have to call the police.
Okay.
[Zhengze University]
Fang Yu!
Ming Lang? How come you're here? Are you looking for your brother?
I came to see you.
Me?
My classmates don't believe that I know you, but I do!
Queen, can you come to school with me to prove that I'm not lying?
[Zhiying Boxing Club]
Bye.
Guan Yan.
Xiao Feng?
Are you free this afternoon?
A really good movie came out recently. Let's go watch it.
Sorry, I have plans.
You didn't go to the club dinner last week either.
What have you been so busy with lately?
Nothing much. Find somebody else to go with.
I really have something to do. I have to go.
It really is Queen.
See? I wasn't lying.
Coach, Ming Lang came to Zhengze to find me. Sorry for the trouble.
Ming Lang, apologize.
Sorry.
Don't do it again. Do you know how worried I was?
It was him. He said Ming Lang was lying.
What's your name?
An Xiao Dong.
Now you know me.
When you get home, will you be telling your parents you met me?
But what if they don't believe you and said you were lying?
But I do know you now.
Do you now understand how Ming Lang felt earlier?
I'm sorry, Ming Lang.
It's okay. I forgive you.
Good boys.
Coach, do you have a marker I can borrow?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Xiao Dong, come.
Your parents will believe you met me.
[Queen]
Thank you for coming.
I also would've been mistaken about Ming Lang.
That's all right. They're good children.
Coach, this is what I'm thinking.
I'll take one day each month to come play and teach them.
Would that be all right?
Of course. That would be an honor for us.
Yes! Yes!
This is all thanks to Ming Lang. Shouldn't we thank him?
Thank you, Ming Lang!
You're welcome. I have to thank Queen.
Thank you, Queen!
I want an autograph!
Ming Lang, tell me. Why did you start a fight?
What did you promise me?
Ming Tian, they accused us of lying first!
They also mentioned that our parents are dead.
That's why Ming Lang was so angry that he attacked.
Regardless of the reason, fighting and skipping class isn't right!
We don't have our parents
but you should be working even harder and setting good examples
instead of using this as an excuse to cause trouble!
Make me a promise.
You won't be so impulsive again no matter what happens.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Mom and Dad aren't here.
But you still have me.
[Haowu Fight]
Here.
I don't serve this tea to just anybody.
Thank you.
Have you made your decision on the conditions I set last time?
First, you must have unconventional aesthetic taste.
Even better if you have an appreciation for the beauty of violence.
The beauty of violence?
Dad, I'm back!
The second condition is that
you must be tenacious and hold fast to the right choice.
To be blunt, that means you must be passionate and devoted.
Hey, why are you here again?
I signed up for the Zhengze Tournament.
I need a better trainer to improve my skills.
You two...
Cheng Da Fu, you only have one option in this matter!
It's either me or him! It's up to you!
Did you hear that?
If you want to learn that move
you'll have to fulfill the third condition.
You come with her and she comes with you.
If I can only learn boxing from you if she and I are a pair
then I refuse.
Why? You're not interested in my daughter?
On the contrary, I've been interested in her for a very long time.
I was practicing late one night and passed by here.
She left me with a deep impression.
You fell for her just like that?
I don't understand.
I don't either.
But that's how it spontaneously happened.
Old people sure aren't able to understand what young people think.
But it doesn't matter!
All that matters is that you like my daughter.
Uncle, precisely because of this
I cannot agree to the conditions you proposed.
If I only accept Ya Nan just to learn boxing
that would mean I don't truly like her.
Excellent! I sure was right about you!
Right about whom?
Ya Nan, you're so lucky!
I've always been lucky
unlike some people who have to drink tea with old people.
He's waiting for you.
What for? I'm going running.
He's going too.
Why, Dad?
This is the special training program I designed for you two.
Don't come back until you've reached the peak.
Whatever! I'm going to change my shoes.
Come, have another cup.
Where are you going?
What? Ming Tian didn't go to class?
Yes, he hasn't been seen all afternoon.
Okay. You can go.
I'm an idiot!
Ming Tian left in such a hurry during lunch.
It must have been important.
Instead of following him, I came here to wait.
Geez.
Good thing he's not with Fang Yu though.
That makes me feel better.
Queen, I'll treat you to dinner today to thank you.
How do you have the money for that?
I have a piggy bank.
You wouldn't even treat me to cake on my birthday.
Now you want to use your money?
Queen, I don't have a piggy bank
but I can cook my specialty dishes for you.
Okay.
What specialty dishes? How come I didn't know about them?
This is a secret.
Come on over! Hot dog giveaway!
Win the contest and take all these hot dogs home!
Let's go look! Hot dogs! Let's go!
Let's go.
To celebrate the release of our new product
we will be holding a fun contest.
Anybody who participates could take all these hot dogs home!
Is anybody interested in participating?
Me!
Two people in a team. Hurry and sign up!
Sorry, kids. Participation is limited to people over 18.
Two people to a team. Sign up together.
Fang Yu, my brother and sister love eating hot dogs.
Can you please join the contest with me?
Please, please.
Please, Queen!
Please!
Okay.
Yes! We can enter!
When did you and my dad get so close?
He even served you his special tea!
Tell me how you did it.
- Secret. - Secret?
Do you want to know? I'll tell you if you treat me to a movie.
Movie? You wish!
Contestants, please place your hands behind your back.
The first ones to blow all the ping pong balls out of the flour
will be the winners.
Three, two, one, begin!
Go, go, go!
Fang Yu only looks cold on the outside.
In fact, she has a heart warmer than anyone else's.
She's even quite cute.
Ming Lang, I think Queen will be Ming Tian's girlfriend very soon!
No, she won't.
Queen, I'll help too.
Okay.
Just wait for me. I'll be grown up very soon.
I'll be more good-looking and stronger than Ming Tian.
Kids say nonsense.
It's okay. My little brother does this all the time too.
I'm being serious.
Ming Lang.
Cheng Ya Nan, don't push yourself.
I began running marathons at the age of 10.
Long-distance running is as normal for me as eating.
How do you know running isn't as simple as drinking for me?
Keep going.
Here.
By the way, I heard my dad say you want to learn the Death Strike from him.
Yes. Is there any boxer who doesn't want to witness
the Death Strike's formidable power again?
Don't you want to?
Of course I do!
But my dad refuses to teach me
saying I have a bad temper and am quick to anger.
If I lose control and accidentally kill someone
it'll lead to another tragedy.
I want to see if my boxing can prevail over the Death Strike's curse.
Hold on. Do you mean my dad agreed to teach you the Death Strike?
Maybe.
That damn old man.
Luo Guan Yan, how did you bribe my dad?
Tell me!
Rested enough? Let's run down.
Run down?
Luo Guan Yan!
It looks like the sun will be setting soon.
They probably didn't bring enough water either.
Bonds are easily formed through adversity.
I forgot to warn them there are dangers on that mountain!
This is truly concerning.
Get dark soon.
It'll be even better if there can be some rain too.
God, I'm counting on you.
Are you sure this is the right way?
I'm sure.
This is the fastest shortcut.
We'll see the main road soon. Hurry up.
Look, the path is getting wider. You can't go wrong listening to me.
Watch out!
Luo Guan Yan, what's wrong?
You were bit by a snake?
Did you see what it looks like?
If the snake has a triangular head, it's venomous!
How do you feel?
I... I feel it...
But don't worry!
I won't tell anyone I was bit by a snake because you made me take this shortcut.
I'm sorry! This really is a shortcut! I wasn't lying!
Ya Nan, do you have pen and paper?
Why would I bring those with me on a run?
What do you need them for?
If I don't make it, I want to leave a message for my parents.
After all...
they went through a lot to raise me.
Luo Guan Yan, don't worry. I won't let you die here!
This isn't necessary. I'm fine!
How could you be fine after a snakebite?
I was just kidding.
I saw the snake. It's not venomous.
Are you sure?
You tricked me?
Sorry, it was just a joke.
Why... do I feel...
It's so itchy.
You...
- You say it first. - You say it.
- You.
You say it.
Ming Tian, when are we going to invite Queen to our house for dinner?
She's very busy. I'm afraid she doesn't have time.
No, she already promised us. She'll come.
She will!
Even if she does have time, we shouldn't bother her again.
But I already promised Queen. I can't break my promise.
Exactly.
Ming Tian, don't you always teach us to keep to our word?
Hey, you two.
How come you can't be this obedient when I tell you to do homework?
Hello, Sun Hao?
I think he's going to go out.
Here's our chance.
The food stall is short on hands.
You two, stay at home and do your homework.
- Okay. - Okay.
[Mama Hao's Chow Mein]
So? It's a smart plan, right?
By keeping Ming Tian here
you can commence your earth-shaking offense at any time!
Sun Hao, your brain is only so teensy.
Don't assume I don't know what you're thinking.
You got a two-for-one by hiring him.
Either way you look at it, it's favorable for you.
You noticed?
- I noticed too, boy! - Mom.
Stop taking advantage of Ming Tian. He's a nice boy.
You're giving him all the work. Don't you feel bad?
You hear that?
We're running out of noodles. I have to go buy some.
Keep an eye on things here.
- Okay. - Okay.
- You better watch out. - I know.
Watch out.
Go, go.
Ming Tian, I'll help you!
It's so late already.
It must have worked!
Honey, you were afraid
we would have a daughter who is as much of a tomboy as you
so we named her Ya Nan. ("Ya" means second.)
Along comes just the right fellow
and his name is Guan Yan! ("Guan" means first.)
A champion and runner-up are naturally the perfect pair.
Only someone like that can tame my daughter!
God, you sure make amusing arrangements.
Thank you.
Ming Tian!
So you really are here.
I headed right over as soon as I heard you're here.
Appreciate my support?
Why are you here, Ma Yi Chen?
What else? To eat!
I got this.
Come on.
What would you like?
Have you cleaned this table yet?
Will you take responsibility if I get food poisoning?
Are you looking for trouble?
Xiao Mi!
This is between men. Stay out of it.
- Don't you see him? - Don't get involved.
It's clean. What would you like?
Where's the menu?
This.
And this and this.
I don't want those.
Give me one each of the rest.
It's fine to order that much.
But here's a warning.
Our food stall specializes in cutting troublemakers like you down to size.
I like throwing my money around. I'm ordering it all. What about it?
You better have the money.
You can order as much as you want as long as you can afford it all!
It's too bad you didn't see what happened to someone who wanted to dine and dash.
It was nothing.
I merely had his leftover soup and drinks
stuffed down his throat for him to take home!
Hey, hey, hey!
Do you guys do business by wearing out the skin of your teeth?
So much blathering!
Serve the dishes! You'll be getting every cent!
Is it going through yet? Hurry up.
Hello?
Queen, this is Ming Zhu.
Here you go.
Just from the looks of it, these dishes must taste disgusting!
What? You're not paying?
Am I that sort of person?
Even if it tastes disgusting, you'll be paid.
That's the smart thing to do.
However, this will be paid for by Ming Tian.
Why do I have to pay?
Because I only came here to give you a chance to make amends.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this lousy place even if you had begged me!
- Asshole! - Don't stop me this time!
Don't be rash. This is my problem. I don't want to drag you into this.
Excellent. I was waiting to hear that.
You embarrassed me at Zhengze the other day.
I want you to be humiliated today.
Ma Yi Chen.
Captain?
What did I tell you?
Why do you keep picking on Ming Tian?
Captain, this--
Apologize to him immediately and then leave.
I don't need an apology.
I just hope this will end here.
Don't come bothering me again.
Hey! You haven't paid yet.
Ma Yi Chen.
Keep the change!
I'm sorry. I haven't kept my club members in line.
I will make time to teach them to do better.
