[Sweet Combat]
[Episode 13]
[Zhengze University]
[Taekwondo Club]
As the preliminaries slowly approach
everybody is intently focused on preparing for the tournament.
Tuck your chin in! One, two!
One, two! One, two!
Yes, keep going! Keep it up!
One, two!
Louder!
I am even more committed.
[Preliminaries Athlete Weigh-in Location]
Ya Nan, I thought we're drawing lots, not separated into weight categories.
Why are we being weighed here?
This is a physical exam prior to the tournament
mainly to determine whether
you're in good enough physical condition to compete.
After the physical exam is the fitness test.
I get it now.
- 41. - 47.
- 42. - 48.
- 43. - 49, 50.
44, 45, 46.
47.
With the shape you're in, you can expect to be eliminated in the first round.
50.
How come it's just you from your losers duo? Where's Ming Tian?
It'll be made clear in the ring who the loser is.
Sure. Do your best.
[1. Ming Tian, 98 points] [2. Fang Yu, 95 points]
[3. Luo Guan Yan, 95 points] [4. Song Xiao Mi, 95 points]
[5. He Xiao Feng, 94 points] [6. Cheng Ya Nan, 94 points]
How is this possible?
Ming Tian placed first in the fitness test?
It seems he's trained himself into good condition.
So what if he's in good condition?
It's not like we're going to be laborers.
You can continue to believe that.
But don't forget Ming Tian has three S-level athletes for trainers.
When you're making cynical remarks, he's using every second to improve.
You think I would believe you? I'm not so easily scared!
It's true that this sort of thing must be seen to be believed.
Let's go see.
In such a short amount of time
his movements have reached this level of proficiency and agility.
Aside from having good trainers
Ming Tian is also very gifted.
Talent is merely illusory.
Haven't you also said
an impressive show outside of the ring doesn't ensure success in the ring?
I say he's just pretending to look the part. He can't defeat anyone.
He came straight here to train right after the fitness test.
Against an opponent like this...
are you certain you can win?
[Zhiying University of Creative Arts]
[Zhiying Boxing Club]
Come on.
What's gotten into Ma Yi Chen?
He didn't have a care a couple of days ago.
Why is he training so rigorously now?
Don't worry about him.
Keep practicing. Come on.
One, two.
One, two, three.
One, two.
One, two, three.
Grandpa, you wanted to see me?
I heard you've been very busy lately.
You even attended a school dance.
The school stated that attendance is mandatory.
Was it also mandatory to teach taekwondo at an elementary school?
I promised them.
Since you have such ample time...
you can help out at the office.
There's been a project that the planning department has kept shelved.
Manager Liu is up to his ears in work.
You can take over and complete it.
Okay.
Go.
[Huawu Fight]
How come it's just you? Where's my dad?
He went to buy snacks.
Luo Guan Yan, can you stop for a second? I need to talk to you.
About what?
I heard you had a disagreement with He Xiao Feng and some others
over our visit to Zhiying.
You're now training at my family's gym. Aren't you afraid they'll misunderstand?
I came here to practice boxing and I'm not doing anything to betray Zhiying.
Why should I be afraid?
Yes, I know you're straightforward and upright.
But we're both boxers and competitors.
If we train together long-term, we'll learn each other's weaknesses.
Besides, given your capabilities
we'll definitely be up against each other in the finals.
That's why I don't think it's appropriate for you to be training here.
I see.
All right, I'll come back after the tournament.
By the way, you sucked out snake venom to save my life last time.
I want to treat you to dinner to thank you.
Didn't we already have dinner at Mama Hao's?
You were having an allergic reaction and didn't eat anything.
I already forgot. Why have you kept it in mind?
Because I want to ask you out.
Ask me out?
Why? You don't believe me?
I do, but I also believe you just want to learn more about your competitor!
I'm not that foolish!
Cheng Ya Nan.
You really are a fool.
Luo Guan Yan, who are you calling a fool?
I wouldn't even bother saying this
if you weren't being treated so badly at Zhiying!
How ungrateful!
After all the unrest
you still pushed everything aside to come here, Captain.
As I've said, I have a clear conscience.
I believe you've already made a choice between Zhiying and Cheng Ya Nan.
I don't believe there is a need to choose between Zhiying and Cheng Ya Nan.
What about between me and Cheng Ya Nan? You should make a choice!
Xiao Feng, I've always thought of you as a good friend.
Just a good friend? Nothing more?
Whenever a member complains about your strict training
why am I always there to ease the tension?
Why have I never competed against you for the position of captain?
Don't you understand my feelings for you?
Xiao Feng, I'm very grateful for all you've done
but feelings...
I'm sorry. There's someone I like already.
Is it Cheng Ya Nan?
Sure enough, it's as I guessed.
I don't understand! Why would you like her?
I could understand if she were more beautiful, cuter, or gentle.
But she's none of that! In what way do I fall short of her?
Xiao Feng, a comparison of qualities can't determine who I like.
Besides, being gentle and cute was never the reason why I liked her!
These are just your excuses! I won't believe them!
Luo Guan Yan, listen up.
Even if you reject me today, I won't give up.
You want to be Romeo and Juliet with Cheng Ya Nan?
I won't let you!
[Huawu Fight]
All right, take a break! Have some fried chicken!
It's Coach's treat today! Come on!
Ya Nan, come eat. I bought some for you too.
Where's Guan Yan?
He left!
Left? Didn't he say he was going to eat with us? I'll call him back.
Don't bother. He's not coming back!
- Did you drive him out? - Yes.
How could you?
Cheng Ya Nan!
We haven't had a heart-to-heart in a long time, have we?
Let's have at it!
Brat, you're becoming more misbehaved!
If you're not right, why would I listen to you?
I told you not to take him as a student but you wouldn't listen!
Is there any daughter who yells at her father like you do?
You're being serious?
You have the nerve to ask?
You're always setting me up! Is there any father like you?
Cheng Ya Nan!
Are you okay?
I'm fine. That's just how my dad shows his love for me.
I can tell he loves you extra today.
What's this?
I'll have to be at the office for a while so I won't have time to go to school.
Help me return these books back to the library.
Just leave it in the book return box.
You wrapped the books?
Is there a secret in here?
["Romance Between A Strong Woman and A Weak Man"]
["Who Says Independent Women Don't Need Love?"]
["When A Tigress Meets A Hare"]
I only wrapped them up so you wouldn't lose them.
You're just afraid I'll see them. Let's see what's in here.
You won't even let me see them?
Are these some relationship self-help books?
Give them back. You can pretend I never came.
Okay, fine.
When did you become so bad at taking jokes?
Where's your usual queen's composure?
Go ahead and do your work. Leave everything to me.
I'll be sure to be the perfect best friend
and keep an eye on Song Xiao Mi.
I won't let her get a chance to be with Ming Tian alone.
He'll be as safe as this box is.
Do you have nothing better to do? Did I ask you to do that?
All right. I just have way too much free time on my hands!
All right.
I'm not helping you return these!
[Men]
Look!
Now look!
And look!
These are the newest shower stalls that our school built just for you two!
Look at the shower heads and facilities! They're all brand new!
Look at this space. Look at my physique.
Are you two satisfied now?
[OK]
Ming Tian!
I'll buy groceries and go to your house later.
No, Xiao Mi. I can't trouble you with cooking for us all the time.
It's no trouble!
I'm not doing it for you.
I'm doing it for Ming Zhu and Ming Lang.
I promised them I would whip up a feast for them when they score 100 points.
I have to keep to my word.
It's all right. I'll just take them to KFC.
No!
You can have KFC another day. Have the dinner I make first!
Wait, Song Xiao Mi! Count me in!
Cheng Ya Nan? Why are you here?
I was just walking by.
You're treating Ming Tian to dinner? Count me in.
How is it any of your business? Did you score 100 points too?
Of course. Combining two courses, I have 103 points!
Ming Tian, you won't say no if I come to your house, right?
I won't.
See? The host has said the word. The kitchen hand has no say.
Let's go!
You glutton!
Glutton Nan, you only get to look! No eating for you!
- Ming Tian! - Ming Tian, where are you going?
You better stop right there!
Xiao Mi, you're so awesome!
Every dish looks like it was cooked by a chef!
Of course! I selected every ingredient with great care.
After passing through my skilled hands
every dish is guaranteed to be healthy and delicious!
Everybody, dig in!
Smile for me.
Someone's already drooling.
Eat! Don't hold back.
Who wants to eat? I'm not hungry!
Whose stomach is grumbling so loudly?
All right, just eat.
I'm not eating!
How can something taste so delicious?
It's so good! It's so good!
It's heaven in my mouth!
How can this be so yummy?
It's so good!
Do you experience the taste of happiness in my cooking?
I haven't just gotten a hold on Ming Tian's stomach
but also those of his siblings as well!
Look at the camera!
Cheese!
[New Message from Xiao Mi]
I made this just for Ming Tian and his family.
It seems we'll be a couple soon!
Showing off this and that.
I'm going to block you. Let's see how you'll show off then.
[Block Number]
[New Message from Ya Nan]
My best friend, my heart may still root for you
but I'm afraid my stomach has been bribed.
I can't help it.
Song Xiao Mi's cooking is just too amazing!
I hate the feeling of losing.
That applies in the ring
and in other situations as well.
Today, I'll teach you all to cook sauteed corn with lily bulb.
This dish is very nutritious and suitable for families with children.
First of all, let's take a look at the ingredients.
We have corn, lily bulbs, and shelled shrimp.
Let's first take out 100 grams of shrimp.
We will first marinate this portion.
We'll use a little cooking wine
to take out the fishiness in the shrimp.
Add a pinch of cornstarch and a bit of soy sauce
to add flavor to the shrimp.
Okay, let's use our hands to mix that in.
Now we'll cut up cucumbers and carrots.
Let's dice the washed cucumbers.
One centimeter width is good enough.
Likewise, we'll dice the carrots into one centimeter wide pieces.
Now we turn on the stove and add oil.
When we add in the oil, we must make sure to use as little as possible.
This dish doesn't require a lot of oil.
Cooking isn't that hard.
I don't know why Song Xiao Mi is so cocky.
- Morning. - Good morning.
Who made all this?
Do you see anyone else here? Of course it was...
Yu, ever since I was born, you haven't even heated milk for me.
Now you wake up early to cook a whole table full of food?
That is very impressive
and scary.
Enough talking.
Go rinse your mouth and then come try the food.
Hurry up.
Eat.
Is it good?
Keep eating.
It's not poison! Eat up!
What's this?
This was an accident. It's not important.
Go on.
Here, I'll get some for you.
[Zhengze University]
Not bad. Very stable footing.
Ming Tian, does it hurt?
Why don't we take a break? We'll stop here for today.
It's okay. Let's continue.
That's the right attitude.
Combat sports are a competition of skill
and also the spirit that refuses to admit defeat!
Song Xiao Mi, add more power behind your kicks.
I'm not doing that!
You won't do it? Then I will.
I'm not practiced at controlling the power behind my kicks anyway.
Ming Tian will hurt even more!
No!
You dare threaten me?
I'll do it myself! Stay here!
Ming Tian, hang in there. Let's practice a bit more.
Hello? How is it?
Manager Zhang is quite pleased.
Manager Wu also ate a lot.
Have they said anything?
They haven't said anything because they haven't had the chance.
Yu, I mainly called to remind you that
raw chicken can be deadly.
Hello? Hello?
Why is she suddenly interested in cooking?
This is inflicting a lot of suffering.
Ming Tian, let's stop here for today.
Ming Tian, don't go to work today. Get some rest.
No, I have to go to work.
You can't even stand steady. Don't push yourself.
I gave the store manager my word.
I can't take any time off during the two-month promotional period.
Fine, I'll take your place.
I'm the one who kicked you. I should take responsibility.
Ming Tian, she's right. Rest properly today.
Don't let injuries escalate to the point that they affect your performance.
Ming Tian, you don't have to think twice.
I'm only covering your shift. You can pay me!
I happen to be short on cash. I won't let you gain the benefits.
Decide for yourself.
[Making]
Uncle Zhao, stop here for a moment.
I want to drink some coffee. I'll head back on my own later.
Okay.
- You can leave first. - Okay.
I'll be outside.
Fang Yu?
How come she's here?
It'll eat me up from the inside if I don't talk to someone about it.
Hey.
What does she want?
It's me again.
I want to ask you something.
Do boys like girls who can cook?
And they like girls who are petite, cute, and flirty?
Then what about someone like me
who is already tall, isn't cute, and doesn't know how to flirt?
Will I only get a chance if I know how to cook?
Culinary skills have to be cultivated at a young age.
It's too late for you!
How come it's you?
Who did you think it would be? Ming Tian?
It's a good thing I'm covering for him today
or else he would've fallen for your tricks!
Are you saying Ming Tian was the one who was inside the bunny suit?
Why are you so surprised?
Didn't you know he's been working here?
Hey! Fang Yu!
What a weirdo.
You sure are lucky.
He saved the last strawberry ice cream for you.
I have a friend.
I want to help him.
But he never accepts.
I'm very thankful for all your help today.
In the past, I wouldn't accept help from others.
Because it made me feel weak.
But I have a different mentality now.
I think receiving other people's concern is a blessing.
So he said those words for me!
I thought it was just a coincidence!
What? Really?
I don't believe Fang Yu's look of innocence.
How could she not know Ming Tian was in the bunny suit?
It's not out of the realm of possibility.
Xiao Mi, think about it. Even we aren't entirely clear about it.
Aside from school, food stall, and car wash station
he's even working at the ice cream store?
It's quite reasonable that Fang Yu didn't know.
You're right.
What a close call!
It's a good thing I covered Ming Tian's shift
or they would've had a secret rendezvous behind our backs.
If they hooked up, we would've been clueless!
That was a very close call.
Xiao Mi, you won't tell Ming Tian that
Fang Yu found out you were in the suit today, right?
Of course I won't. What good does that do me?
You mustn't tell!
It'll only benefit them
and all our efforts will have been wasted!
Worry not. I definitely won't say a thing.
My lips are sealed!
Yes, strike while they're both still unaware.
Ming Zhu, have you noticed we haven't seen Queen in a while?
You're right. Does that cost her points?
Don't let Ming Tian see this scoring chart.
I'm not that dumb.
[Queen versus Xiao Mi]
Did you secretly give more points to Xiao Mi?
It wasn't in secret.
Last time Xiao Mi came over to cook for us
we agreed to add another sticker.
I think we did.
Xiao Mi's cooking is so good.
If we could eat it every day...
Ming Zhu, Queen is our taekwondo master.
Haven't you heard it often said on TV, "Teacher for a day, parent for life"?
We mustn't betray our master!
But they're even again.
Who should be Ming Tian's girlfriend?
We'll have to keep observing.
[Huawu Fight]
My dear, do you know what time it is?
1 a.m.
Weren't you going to keep me company?
I'll sleep and you can talk. No interference.
Ya Nan.
Stop being so gross.
I don't want to be here tormenting you either.
I was going to sleep after hanging up
but once I close my eyes, I keep replaying that scene.
It just keeps playing through my mind.
Then knock yourself out.
If that worked, would I be here?
What am I going to do?
I've never been so embarrassed in my life!
What should I do? What should I do?
You're already 20 years old.
Nobody is calmer than you in the ring.
Why would you find a guy in a bunny suit passing out fliers on the street
and tell him everything on your mind?
You're the world's biggest idiot!
A... Are you my best friend?
Shouldn't you be consoling me? Why are you adding insult to injury?
Ms. Fang, there's a limit to my intelligence.
I used up all the words of comfort I know before midnight.
I'm out of words.
All right already.
So you know Ming Tian is in the bunny suit
and you bared your heart to him.
You don't know how to face him now. Right?
But has it occurred to you?
Before you knew, he already knew.
It's just that you now know he knew.
But he doesn't know that you know he knew.
So, you just have to pretend you don't know.
I don't get it. I'm confused.
I don't get it either.
At any rate, just pretend you don't know. Okay?
No, I can't pretend.
When I see him, I'll remember everything.
I'll feel so awkward. How can I pretend not to know?
Just treat him the same way you used to treat him.
And then?
During training, be extra tough.
Make him hurt so much that he can't even recognize his siblings!
Then you two won't have time for any awkwardness!
Wait, isn't that--
Even Song Xiao Mi isn't capable of doing this.
If you want to protect your dignity, you must strike hard!
Be merciless. Okay?
I'm going to sleep now. Okay?
I'm so sleepy!
This is a mask from Joy's Lab.
This mask is for moisturizing and soothing.
Its ingredients are also very gentle.
- Just you wait tomorrow. - It should be suitable for most people.
That's odd. Why was I woken up by a chill?
Do you think Song Xiao Mi will tell Ming Tian?
Theoretically, it's not too likely.
But she's always been an eccentric girl. It's hard to say.
What happened to your hand?
I just... accidentally cut myself when cutting something.
What were you cutting to have hurt yourself so badly?
Loose yarn on my clothes.
Fang Yu, lying is just like boxing. They both require skill.
You should've checked the weather before saying that.
Would you wear any knit clothing in the middle of summer?
Spit it out.
I was... hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to cook something.
I accidentally cut myself.
Really? Liars are big fat hippos.
Big fat hippo.
I... I admit it!
I couldn't stand Song Xiao Mi showing off
so I also wanted to prove that I can cook too.
When did you start caring so much about Song Xiao Mi?
- I don't. - You don't?
If Song Xiao Mi was cooking for Sun Hao, Cutie, President, or Director
I bet you wouldn't even bat an eye.
Stop lying to yourself.
It's not Song Xiao Mi you care about.
It's Ming Tian!
- Save it! - Stop.
Everything is clearer from a distance.
We can talk again when you're willing to be honest with me.
