METEOR GARDEN

EPISODE 26

So is Shancai safe?

Did my mom meet her?

Should I go over there?

Stay put for now.

You're going to make things worse
if you come back.

Shancai is in my room now.

Don't worry.

We'll talk again tomorrow.

Enough for now.

-I'm hanging up.
-Hey.

This damn old woman.

She hung up without saying anything.

She said enough.

At least she should let me
talk to Shancai.

What's up with hanging up like that?

Don't worry.

Ms. Yu won't lie to you.

That's right.

If something was wrong,

Shancai would've called you.

You think so?

Trust me.

Go to sleep. Worry about it tomorrow.

All right.

Can you turn around?

Why can't you turn the other way?

I'll say "three" and we both turn.

Three.

What now?

Sleeping butt to butt feels too awkward.

What do you want then?

Upside down.

Feet to head.

I can't be sleeping facing your feet.

Wait.

You don't want to see my head or my face

You don't like sleeping back to back
and even head to toe!

What do you want then?

What did Ms. Yu mean?

What was on Ms. Yu's mind?

The secret trick

is to sprinkle rose petals

on Si's bed.

Then light a candle.

Play Chou Jie Lun's "Confession Balloon."

And then,

the baby comes.

-You won't have to leave the house.
-That's...

That's too fast.

Of course.

I've been waiting anxiously.

Si's a grown man.

I really hope to see
the family's fourth generation.

Do you think we are cell phones
that could be updated that quickly?

Do you have any idea how to have a baby?

What kind of stupid trick is that?

Shancai.

Hi.

Good morning.

What's up with you?

Nothing.

Shancai.

I think you've been unhappy
since you started dating Daoming Si.

-Tell me if you have any problems.
-Stop being nosy.

She's busy being in love,
she has no time to sleep, okay?

Why can't she sleep if she's in love?

Do you want them to sleep together?

Of course not.

Stop talking nonsense, you two.

Okay, tell me then.

Have you been well lately?

Why does it concern you
whether she is well or not?

Step aside.

Shancai, you met my mom again.

Did anything happen?

Ms. Yu is staying with us.
Of course nothing has happened.

Why are you staring at me?

Come.

-Where to?
-Shancai.

Shancai!

Hey.

Hey.

Where are you taking me?

Rabbit Hole.

Rabbit Hole?

Your favorite shop.
You've been wanting to go, right?

This looks nice.

Try this.

Shancai, what's so nice about this place?

Thanks for waiting.
Here are the Pink Bubble cakes.

-So cute!
-Enjoy.

I've been craving these.

Delicious.

Why are you just drinking coffee?
Order some cakes.

No, thanks.

Order a different flavor

so we can share.

Do you want a taste?

Just try it.
How do you know it's not good?

Hurry up. My arm is aching.

You're so pushy.

So sweet.

How do you eat these things?

Cakes are supposed to be sweet.
If not, why eat cake?

Do girls like to eat these things?

Yes.

Eating sweet stuff makes us happy.

Can you tell me now?

About what?

Tell me what really happened last night.

It wasn't a big deal.

Have you ever been to Ms. Yu's room?

She invited me to her room
for tea yesterday.

Whether it be the shaming from his mom

or Ms. Yu's secret plan,

I can't let Daoming Si know.

Telling him will only cause more problems.

By the way, Ms. Yu told me about your dad.

I think your dad is incredible.

Do you look like him?

Why are you asking?

I'm curious.

Did you get your fighting skills
from your dad?

No.

I know. You must have gotten it
from your mom.

Yes, I can tell from your mom's physique

that she's a formidable fighter.

-Shancai.
-Yes?

I want to move out.

What?

You want to move out?

What does that mean?

Do you know what moving out means?

It means staying on my own.

How do you plan on staying on your own?

What is there to plan?

It will just be a slightly smaller place
than the current house.

Hey, sir.

Let me ask you.

Do you know if

the electric heater in your house
is switched on before or after you shower?

I know.

Do you know what's the right voltage
for the induction cooker?

Yes.

No maids.

You need to cook.

You'll need to settle
the utility bills every month.

Do you know all that?

You're nagging.

I know how tough it is

-so I want you to know before...
-If I don't move out,

how will I protect you?

Because of me,

many things are unravelling.

I can't put into words
the gratitude I feel for Daoming Si.

But I know in my heart
that he's not doing the right thing.

Let's go.

-Where to?
-To a housing agency.

-Stop fooling around.
-Nobody is fooling around.

-Everything I said was true.
-That's why I'm scared.

I really don't get you.
You always drive me up the wall.

All right.

I won't nag.

Let's go.

Where to?

You're pulling my arm off.

Why do you walk so slow
with those long legs?

Hold on.

Is this the fun place you said?

These are for kids.

You said you didn't like
pink places, right?

Come on. Let's have some fun.

Over there.

-Faster! Hurry.
-I'll destroy you!

You're dead!

I'll kill all of you!

SUCCESS!

I'm amazing, right?

Si.

Is she your friend?

Yes.

Then please escort her out.

If you dare to walk out this door,
be prepared for the consequences.

If a stumbling block appears in your life,

you'd remove it too, right?

I will never allow such an unrefined girl

to be in my house.

Hey.

You must have kept it all inside.

No.

Something must have happened yesterday.
Am I right?

I told you nothing happened.

I knew it.

You must have the gene
of a mutant beast in your body.

I didn't even give it my all.
Who knew that thing would break so easily?

-Barbaric.
-You're the same too.

Nobody would want to marry
such a strong girl.

Whatever.

I deal with my everyday life
using this exact strength.

Got a problem?

You're always showing off
how strong you are.

Not feminine at all.

You can always look for a delicate,
weak girl to be your girlfriend.

Are you crazy?
You're picking a fight, aren't you?

That's the truth.

You're weird yourself.

Most guys prefer that kind of girl.

Who said so?

It doesn't concern me. I'm not like that.

So what about you?

Which type are you?

Which type are you? Tell me.

Which type are you?

Which one?

What I mean is

I only like you.

Why are you saying that so suddenly?

You made me.

Didn't you see the stairs?

You need to watch where you're going.

I'm not a three-year-old, you know.

In my eyes, you're just like a kid
who needs to be protected.

You're exaggerating.

Since when do I make people worry?

All the time.

I worry about you all the time.

Yeah, right.

My parents are back at the village,
but I'm doing fine by myself in Shanghai.

I work and earn money for my own expenses.
I have multiple jobs.

I'm a cleaner at your house,
and nobody talked about it.

I'm fine all by myself.

So how long are you going
to get by on your own?

In your eyes, am I really that unreliable?

That's not it.

Then why won't you tell me?

Do you think I can't tell
that you're unhappy?

Sorry.

I just feel that

they're my own problems.

They don't concern you.

Right.

Whatever happens to you
is unrelated to me.

Just like you don't need me.

Daoming Si.

I didn't mean it that way.

Are you still not getting it?

You don't get me either.

I'm worried about you.

It has nothing to do with you
being a superwoman or not.

I don't want you to leave the house.

This woman...

Can't you see I'm doing it for you?

I know.

Then why?

We're a couple.

The effort we put in the relationship
should be balanced.

If I'm overly reliant on you,

we'll lose this balance.

I know this doesn't make me cute at all.

I'm stubborn and unreasonable.

But I hope you can accept the way I am.

One more thing.

Knowing that you're willing to leave
the house for me,

I'm touched.

I'm so happy.

So...

I'm going home.

I, Dong Shancai,
am not a weak girl who can't live

without a man's protection.

But I do appreciate your concern.
Thank you, Daoming Si.

What's up with him?

No idea.

The one behind you is weird too.

Hey, give it back!

What is that?

Did a woman take weird photos of you

and you're being threatened?

Not that kind of photos.

Why are you so nervous then?

I'm not interested in any woman.

Lei.

I'm sure he's hiding something.

Let me see.

Hey!

Just let me see.

-Stop it.
-Show it to me.

-Hey.
-No, I won't.

-Stop it.
-Let me see.

-Stop it.
-Just a glimpse.

Hey, you guys.

Grow up, will you?

I'm saying,
you should stop fooling around.

Having a serious relationship
trumps everything else.

What did I just hear?

Our Si actually said
the word "relationship."

People that don't feel it
with their heart won't understand.

Looks like something good happened.

Not just good.

Today is the happiest day

of my life.

What happened?

I'm not telling you.

Hey.

Telling you guys will spoil the happiness.

I'm also starting

a very serious relationship.

Si's love story has ended.
Now you're starting your act?

What do you mean "a serious relationship"?

No.

Don't be too quick to jump the gun.

First, we need to see this girl.

Zhou Caina?

The champion of Chinese Cuisine
Culinary Competition.

That person?

I ran into her a few times.

She seems like an interesting girl.

So?

Even if it's Zhou Caina,

you're the outstanding Meizuo of F4.

-She'd be an easy catch.
-I didn't say I couldn't get her.

Then why are you so anxious?

The one in the photo just now
is her, right?

Going after girls isn't that hard.
But this is Caina we're talking about.

The problem is

I need to first get rid

of Mr. Obstacle.

What kind of crazy photo is this?

Did something happen
between Zhou Caina and this man?

How did you know?

-Everyone would've guessed.
-How?

It's not printed on their foreheads.

Does Zhou Caina still like him?

To put it simply,

they didn't end their relationship
on a good note.

I'm not anxious or anything.

I just want Mr. Obstacle
out of the picture

without hurting Caina too much.

I want him to willingly disappear.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

What?

All you need to do is beat him up.

Please. We don't support violence.

He only knows how to fight.

Hey.

What's wrong with fighting?

-Don't.
-Don't.

When you meet the man again,

give him a compliment.

Give a compliment?

Yes.

Make sure you do it in front of Caina.

You mean,

the ultimate strategy
in adult love philosophy?

Mr. Lu, this spanner doesn't work.

-Give me the pliers.
-Okay.

Can you do it? Let me.

It's okay. I'll do it.

Your phone.

Hello?

Hi, Caina.

Do you want to go
to a violin recital tonight?

I can't. Something happened at home.

What's wrong?

It's nothing. Just a leak.

I'll talk to you later.

I told you, there's a leak at my house.

I can't go.

A leak in the house?

Why?

Is something wrong with the house?

It's you.

Can you do it?

Maybe I should just call the plumber.

Thanks.

You must check all the pipes in the house.

Okay. I'll get a plumber to come.

That day, you--

I wanted to ask you...

Why exactly did you call me just now?

Mr. Lu, I did a quick check.

The pipes in the kitchen and bathroom
are in bad condition.

Get a plumber to fix them.

Okay, thanks.

Can you also check her bedroom
while you're here?

I think the ceiling is broken.
It leaks when it rains.

Okay.

Where's the room?

It's upstairs.

Wait!

Wait a minute.

I guess he doesn't remember after all.

It's fine if he doesn't.

I've checked your bedroom.

It's not a big problem.

Just ask the plumber to fix it up.

Thank you.

I'll be going then.

Wait.

Did you see anything in my room just now?

-No.
-Nothing at all?

Was there anything I was supposed to see?

If you didn't see anything,

you can go then.

What a coincidence.

My boyfriend is here to take me out.

What is Terence doing here?

He came to fix the leak.

Don't bother yourself
with Caina's problems in the future.

I'll be here to help her.

You came too late.

I've already fixed the pipes.

Did you come here quicker than me
because you're a professional plumber?

Caina and I are old friends.

It's only right to help her
with simple things.

As Caina's boyfriend,

I should properly thank you then.

It's okay.

We should thank this guy
who fixed the pipes.

Or else he might come back
to ask for repayment.

You're welcome.

Bye.

That Terence can't seem
to stay away from you.

It's not what you think.

He just came here to help fix the pipes.

Are you pretending to be naive?

That's what I think.

Only a guy can see through another guy.

I can see it.

Just now and the time at the bar,

he expected something more from you.

He wouldn't expect anything from me.

If he does, what will you do?

So what if he does?

A one-night-stand is the worst.

A genuine and lasting relationship

must be based on understanding and growth.

Such a relationship takes time.

Both parties must get to know each other.

That's how a relationship can be strong

and everlasting.

Remember what you said?

Did you mean it when you called me
your boyfriend?

-I was just--
-It's okay.

You might not be serious,

but I am.

Besides, I'm confident

that I'll make you fall for me.

Meizuo.

-Where do you get your confidence from?
-Because I want to see you smile

every moment of my life.

Dong Shancai.

What have you done?

Jeez.

It didn't kill you anyway.

In some countries,

that's how people greet each other.

It's fine for a girl like me
to kiss him first.

It doesn't have to mean anything.

What were you saying?

It's fine for a girl to...

Huaze Lei.

When did you get here?

"It didn't kill you anyway."

"In some countries,
that's how people greet each other."

Did you and Si...

kiss?

Why were you eavesdropping?

Shancai,

you didn't mumble. I could hear you.

So you kissed him first?

It must be nice, right?

I didn't kiss him first. Stop speculating.

Doing that wasn't...

that different from a Christmas wish.

Okay.

Then give me a kiss too.

Wish me a Merry Christmas.

Hurry up.

Come on.

See?

You can't do it, can you?

That "Christmas wish"
isn't for just anybody.

Shancai.

Yes?

How are things with Si's mom?

What do you mean?

Did she kick you out?

No.

She almost kicked me out.

But Ms. Yu stopped her.

And?

That's all.

Did anything weird happen to you?

Anything weird?

I don't think so.

You have a friend
who went to Canada with us, right?

Xiaoyou?

Yes. What about her?

You need to go check on her.

Maybe something has happened.

Why?

Si's mom probably already
did something to her.

That's impossible.

This has nothing to do with Xiaoyou.

Besides, it's way too soon.

Do you know who you're dealing with?

Si's mom is a powerful figure
of the food chain business.

Most people must spend

half their lives to accomplish something.

Si's mom can do so only in 15 minutes.

Also, don't forget.

You'll never know
where she will strike next.

She's Si's mom.

She knows Si inside out.

Stopping him will only make him
rebel even more.

So she's targeting you instead.

But she didn't expect

that her constant pressure on you
didn't yield any results.

She can no longer target your family.

If she wants to topple you

or attack you more efficiently,

she'll have to start with your friends.

What is she going to do? What can she do?

People make mistakes.

But Si's mom...

To be at the top in a cutthroat
business industry means...

Hi, your drinks are ready.
Please come again.

Thanks.

TRANSFER OF 2,800 YUAN INTO YOUR SAVINGS.
BALANCE, 21,600 YUAN.

MOM CALLING

Mom, what's up?

What?

You're moving now?

So boring.

Shancai disappeared right after class.

I bet Daoming Si kidnapped her.

If you want, you can kidnap Shancai too.

Mr. Single.

Who are you calling Mr. Single?

I'm so busy picking up calls every day.

DAD CALLING

If you don't pick up soon,

your dad's hanging up.

Hey, Dad.

I'm at school.

What?

The company what?

She won't attack without any reason.

But if the other party trips

and shows any signs of weakness,

then you can't blame her
for making the move.

Shancai, I'm not trying to scare you.

When you decided to go out with Si,

you should be ready to make sacrifices.

Even if

they're important to you.

Your friend's parents

have business deals with Daoming Group.

It's a piece of cake

for her to control them.

Huaze Lei is overreacting.

Why?

Why are my friends dragged into this?

Li Zhen, where's Qinghe?

He just left.

There's an emergency at home.

Hey!

The dominating aura of that woman

has seeped into every corner of my life.

She's going to do whatever it takes

to make me leave Daoming Si.

Xiaoyou?

-Are you...
-Shancai.

I don't think I'll see you again.

Where are you right now?

At home.

Wait for me.

Shancai.

Qinghe.

Where are you going?

Something happened at home.

What happened?

Something's wrong my dad's contract
and it has resulted in some loss.

He's being sued.

No way.

My dad is talking with his lawyer.

I need to get home and see my mom.

Qinghe, I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault. Sorry.

Why are you apologizing
for my family's problem?

I...

I'll explain later.

Shancai.

Xiaoyou.

Shancai.

My dad has been transferred to Qinghai.

He's probably not coming back to Shanghai.

Ma'am, I know why Mr. Jiang
is being transferred.

Don't pack up just yet.

Wait for a while.

I promise.

I promise Mr. Jiang will be able to stay.

Shancai, where are you going?

Is everything taken care of?

It's been carried out
according to your orders.

All good?

Presumably.

It's a little slow.

That's on me. It won't happen again.

Don't worry.

I've always been fair in my judgment.

Prepare the afternoon tea
to greet our guest.

Yes.

I finally gathered my courage
and confessed my feelings.

Daoming Si and I can finally move
a step closer.

But why is this happening?

Instead of going down that path,

am I running the opposite way?
