Episode 26
I came from Ya Nan's place,
and,
I am just dropping by to tell you,
I had moved back home.
You have reconciled with grandpa?
That's great!
Lately,
he hasn't mentioned about stopping school.
So...
Anyway, it's fine now.
I have guessed you were stressed.
But I didn't expect,
grandpa will force you to stop school.
He was on the spur of the moment,
he hasn't mentioned it lately.
Don't worry, it's fine.
The sky had cleared after a shower.
It's OK now.
Dad, I'm off to my morning jog.
The number one reason for liking myself is,
no other girl looks as smart as I am,
as cool.
Second reason for liking myself is,
no one fights like me,
so good and strong.
Reason number 15 for liking myself is...
Number one reason for hating myself,
why do I feel like turning around?
Luo Guan Yan,
I have good news for you.
The headmaster said your punishment shall end here.
You don't have to clean up anymore.
Understand, thanks.
Luo Guan Yan,
did you hear me clearly?
I said you don't have to clean up anymore.
Who are you mad at?
I'm not mad at anybody.
I only feel that,
once I've started something,
I must complete it.
Let me tell you,
no matter how hard you try,
Cheng Ya Nan won't accept you.
Because I had already told her,
you got close to her in order to learn the Death Strike.
It's impossible for her to accept you.
I'm not surprised.
I had guessed it's you.
Then why didn't you confront me?
Don't you hate it when others play dirty tricks?
You can scold me, you can fight with me.
Between Cheng Ya Nan and I, if there's really a problem,
even if you don't tell,
it'll happen sooner or later.
Why should I be mad at you?
Furthermore,
I don't want to give myself a reason for hating you.
Luo Guan Yan.
I'd rather you hate me,
than to treat me like this, ignoring me.
Dear students,
it's only less than a month to the final.
In order not to let everyone down,
and to disappoint yourself,
I hope all finalists,
start to get serious in your preparations.
President Xiao Mi,
you're so cool.
You'll be champion in this year's final.
Yes, with a few more heartbreaks,
you'll definitely get into the Olympics.
Why do I want to be in the Olympics?
My objective in life,
is to cook for my beloved.
That's what I want.
Don't be sad, President.
President, you're the best!
Yes.
You're so cool!
Cooler than Ming Tian.
You look great!
Let's go.
Cooler than Ming Tian?
How could that be?
I heard before Ming Tian came in,
she was the coolest in Zhengze.
Give way! Give way! Give way!
Cheng Ya Nan.
Is she crazy?
Looks like she's the same as me,
heart broken,
but successful in the fighting arena.
Guan Yan.
What is it?
I want to learn boxing from you.
I don't want to be always laugh at,
telling me I could only hide behind.
I want to do something that's meaningful.
To learn from me, you've to start from basic training.
Basic training?
My basic training is not bad.
You're wrong.
You can't box well,
because your basic training is not strong.
The definition of basic training,
doesn't mean basic techniques alone.
It includes your state of mind,
your attitude,
most importantly,
your heart.
If the base is crooked, the whole building is crooked.
OK,
I'll listen to you.
I'll do whatever you tell me to.
I'll be more strict than before,
I won't accept any complains, nor excuses.
Do you have confidence in meeting my requirements?
Good.
Let's start from the most basic, which is the pace training.
Aren't you going to ask me why?
When you want to tell, you'll tell, I don't have to ask.
Come.
One.
Two.
Left.
Right.
One.
Two.
I work hard,
because I want to defeat Ming Tian.
But strangely,
when I've decided on the new objective in my life,
I don't hate Ming Tian that much.
When your steps are illusive,
you'll want to step on others,
to fool yourself that you're mightier.
But when each of your steps is firm,
you'll know naturally,
you don't need to step on anyone,
you'll take one step at a time, to walk forward freely.
Turn your waist a little more.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Come.
This is a special dinner for a rainy day.
Brother says having instant noodle on a rainy day,
taste even better.
Eat it quickly.
It's true, sister.
Quick, try it.
It's yummy.
This is the best instant noodle I have tasted so far.
How can it be so amazing?
Instant noodles is normal and easy-to-cook,
I only added an egg.
For such a normal and easy task,
I can't even do it well.
I don't know how much water to add,
how long to cook it?
So I cook it especially bad.
It's OK.
Next time, if you want it,
I can cook for you.
What happened?
I'm sorry,
maybe it's the rain,
it short-circuited the wire.
Does this always happen?
Brother.
Don't be scared, sis.
I'll protect you.
Quick, eat.
Sis, isn't it romantic to eat noodle like this?
Yes, candlelight dinner.
- Eat your noodle quick. Eat more. - It's a wonderful day today.
Both of you eat more.
Drink some soup.
Is it nice?
I admire myself, my cooking is so good.
What time is it now?
Your sister is not back yet.
Is she with her junior?
Grandpa.
I think sis will stick with him.
Just like for the past years,
when she persevere in her fighting.
So, can we...
simply give them our blessings?
The show has just started,
what's the hurry?
Whether it can withstand the test,
it's not for us to decide.
Let truth be the witness.
The manager has never mentioned it.
What's with the renovation?
I don't know.
I've to find another job.
Boss,
the equipments in our car wash are quite good,
why do you need to change new ones?
Someone reported us,
said our equipments do not meet specification.
The fire department was here,
said before the rectification,
we can't open for business.
To change all these,
I need money.
Where can I get it?
Ming Tian,
well,
why don't you rest for two days,
when I'm back in business,
I'll call you again?
This is your salary for the past few days.
I'm sorry.
The Taekwando kick,
normally when you attack, the parts that you'll engage are:
front sole.
Itchy.
- Back heel. - Itchy.
Don't move.
Toes,
back of foot,
and the edge of foot.
Use these parts,
to perform,
front kick,
jumping kick,
running kick,
back kick,
flying kick.
The demo just now, have you understood?
Understand.
Senior, why do you suddenly want to teach me?
You made me...
so touched.
Actually, it's because,
after the rain yesterday,
I changed my mind.
Which idea?
I'm free, instead of idling,
I better make use of it, to protect the weak.
Come, let's continue.
Go there, continue.
When you attack with your heel,
remember to use your pace,
to keep your body balance.
And,
remember to defend with both arms.
Fast in pulling back your feet,
then it's not easy for your opponents to catch and hug you.
You demonstrate for me.
How's that?
Do you understand?
Understand.
Then get up, continue.
Senior, I'm having a cramp.
Cramp!
Goodness!
It's just starting and you have a cramp.
Stretch before your training.
- Did you hear me? - Yes.
Ouch!
Remember to give it a cold compress later,
and use a hot compress at night.
Remember to give it a cold compress later,
and use a hot compress at night.
Strange.
Why do I feel tightness in my chest?
The feeling is familiar.
Sun Hao.
Where're you going?
I'm going to help mum at the stall.
Anything, senior?
I ask you,
my dad hit Auntie Hao, right?
Did she mention it again?
No.
Did my dad offend Auntie Hao in any other way?
I didn't hear anything from mum.
I think it's nothing important.
Don't keep it at heart,
I'll make a move first.
Excuse me.
Not bad.
I didn't expect you to be so popular.
Please pass the milk tea to the one next to you,
the very handsome guy.
I didn't notice,
you're so popular amongst girls.
It's normal.
What if I have the same haircut as yours?
Bad boy!
I warn you,
if you dare to spread this,
I'll guarantee you can't see the weekly drama next week.
Senior.
What do you want again?
I've something to ask you.
What?
Girls nowadays,
are they especially attracted to metrosexual men like you?
You need a spanking!
Who's metrosexual man?
I don't mean that.
I was saying girls nowadays,
do they like guys like Ming Tian,
who has an exquisite look?
That's true.
Senior,
what about me?
What about me?
Put it this way,
in a Chinese traditional painting, if Ming Tian is a fine brushwork...
Then I'm the heroic and domineering freehand brushwork.
Wrong! You're the abstract painting that no one understands.
- Thanks senior. - Don't! I was joking.
Why do you always compare with Ming Tian?
I don't compare myself with Ming Tian.
Don't tell me you like Fang Yu?
No.
Really, no.
OK, OK.
Whether yes or no,
I believe you,
you can do it.
Go! Go! Go!
You can have the milk tea.
Bye-bye.
Good, up and down.
Don't be lazy, Ming Lang.
It's not left and right.
I lost my two part-time jobs suddenly.
I don't have much money left.
I need to find a job quickly.
Brother, why did you stop?
Nothing. Come, let's gargle.
I won! I won! I spit the furthest.
If you can put your effort in school, that would be nice.
Ming Zhu, Ming Lang, quickly go to bed.
- Go to bed. - Go to bed.
Auntie,
it's so late.
You won't be in if I come earlier.
The two kids, they can't decide.
This matter,
I must tell you urgently.
What is it that's so urgent?
I need to take the house back.
You need to pack up and move out quickly.
Why so sudden?
Someone gave me a good price, I must grab the opportunity,
to sell the house.
It'll be within these two or three days,
the buyer wants the house.
I see you don't have much belongings,
pack up quickly,
it's not that hard.
Be quick.
Auntie,
it's so sudden,
the three of us where could we go?
Can you give us a few more days,
we'll move when we find a place, OK?
Don't give me that nonsense.
How long have you been here?
You never pay your rent on time.
If it's not because you work hard to raise your siblings,
I'd have asked you to move earlier.
You don't have the right to ask me to give you a few more days.
- Auntie... - That's enough.
Not going to say more,
otherwise I'd become a heartless landlady.
Listen,
latest, the day after,
clear out from the house.
Brother,
what should we do?
It's fine, I'll think of a way.
Go to bed.
Hello, Fang Yu.
I...
I need to rush to office.
I woke up late today.
Then you better get going.
Talk later.
Oh yes,
you had a power cut earlier, right?
I've asked a repair company,
they can help to repair.
But before they can start work,
have to inform the landlady first.
There's no need.
I knew you'll say that.
But,
you must listen to me this time.
It's not good to have power cut every few days.
What do you think?
I think,
don't do it first.
If you don't want workers, you can.
We can go online,
checkout how and repair it ourselves.
Isn't that fun too?
Do it while Ming Zhu and Ming Lang have their breaks.
Fang Yu,
I need to tell you something.
- Please tell. - It's time to go, sis.
You can walk while you're talking.
I'll make sure to use earplug in the car,
I won't listen.
It's the busybody Fang Zhou,
ignore him. You can continue.
It's nothing,
you go get busy.
Talk to you next time.
OK.
I'll call you later.
Bye-bye.
Let's go.
Hello,
Sun Hao.
I need to trouble you.
Driver, please stop in front.
What're you doing?
Grandpa likes the pastry from this shop,
I'm getting a box for him.
Apple polish!
I'll beat you.
How do you do?
Hi, may I know,
what's the stuffing in these puffs?
These are cream puffs.
This is a popular item in the shop.
Grandpa likes red bean stuffing,
but the red bean pastries are too sweet.
Can I trouble you,
to make me a low sugar cream puff?
It will take some time,
have to get the pastry chef to custom-make.
It's OK, I can wait.
OK. Do you need anything else?
- No need. - OK.
Stop hitting.
What're you doing?
You're last to go last night,
and you're the first one this morning.
The match is around the corner,
I just want to increase my training.
You should know,
excessive training will strain your muscles,
affect your sleep and control.
Why do you care about me suddenly?
As a boxer,
we should care for each other.
You realise you're a boxer?
When I mention boxing to you,
I no longer see the sparkles in your eyes.
I thought Cheng Ya Nan can motivate you.
It was the opposite instead.
I was just reminding you.
Don't divert the topic to involve me.
I trained like this,
is to defeat Fang Yu.
Some things, no matter how hard you work at it,
it won't work out.
But some things, perhaps after you've worked hard,
you'll see results.
Although the relationship didn't work out,
in university,
I still want to keep some unforgettable memories.
So, I've decided to sit for TOEFL next year.
This year will be my last year to take part in the competition.
My only objective now,
is to defeat Fang Yu.
If you really want to win Fang Yu, you can't train like this.
If you are willing,
I can be your coach.
You're not angry?
Whether or not I'll be with Cheng Ya Nan ultimately,
I'll help you.
Because...
I'm just a friend?
No, not only friend,
you're my partner too.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you then.
Sis.
I can't even have one?
Stingy.
Grandpa will eat first.
Grandpa doesn't mind.
I'm sorry, Mr Fang.
You're in trouble.
I'm sorry, let me help you.
For you.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
Welcome, welcome,
a very warm welcome.
Auntie Hao.
Hi sweeties, see what Auntie Hao got for you?
It's Laiyifen.
Correct!
Thank you Auntie Hao.
- Come on, let's go in. - Let's go.
- Hi. - Hi Auntie.
- Please come in. - Let's go. Slowly.
Ming Tian,
what're you looking at?
Nothing.
Ming Zhu and Ming Lang sleep with my mum,
you will sleep with me on this bed.
Let me tell you first,
I snore at night.
It's OK, I'm sorry to bother you.
I'll get a place soonest possible and move out.
Aren't we brothers?
Stop the nonsense.
Don't worry so much.
Bad luck comes in threes.
You've been unfortunate,
I believe bad luck will go away soon, and you'll have good luck.
That's correct.
- Mum. - Auntie.
Sun Hao is right.
I tell you, Ming Tian,
you can rest assured and stay here with your siblings.
I snore too.
And, I've thought about it,
starting from tomorrow,
you'll help out at my noodle stand.
The pay is not much,
but it's enough for your daily expenses.
Is that OK?
Thank you Auntie.
With you around, I can be lazy.
You're so lucky.
You can try.
Quickly,
bring the blankets and pillows out, make the beds for them.
- Go! - OK, I'm going now.
It's on the left.
I know.
Ming Tian,
not that I want to scare you,
but don't you think,
so many things happened lately,
aren't they weird?
Look at your jobs,
each one you had, it's closed down,
each of them closed down.
And the house you rented,
why did the landlady want to take it back?
Don't you think it's strange?
Think about it,
did you offend anybody?
Offend?
- Sorry, I need to take this call. - Take it.
Hello.
OK, I'll come right now.
I'm sorry Auntie, please take care of Ming Zhu and Ming Lang.
I need to go out.
Not a problem, you go ahead.
Be careful.
Such a serious matter, why didn't you tell?
Car wash, ice cream shop, I've been to all.
They're all closed down.
That had proven my guess was right.
Was it really your grandpa?
I thought so.
Ming Tian,
this thing, can you not tell my sis first?
Don't worry,
I don't intend to tell her.
She'd just reconciled with your grandpa,
I don't want them to have any more conflicts because of me.
Thank you.
Don't worry,
we caused this problem,
I'll sort it out,
to give you justice.
Are you Luo Guan Yan?
Yes, why?
I'm from Ximen Institute of Sports,
Class S contestant, Wu Ji.
I'm here to challenge you.
I believe,
you're participating in the Zhengze final?
But if you're looking for challengers,
you've got the wrong person.
I had been eliminated.
I know you're not in the list,
but compare with those Class S contestants from Zhengze,
I think,
you're the only one who's qualified to fight with me.
Thank you.
Other than actual competition,
I won't fight.
To me,
boxing is not for fighting others.
Please look for another person.
By the way,
remember to lock the door when you leave.
Who is it?
Hi, nice to meet you,
this is my name card.
You must be,
Auntie Hao who runs a noodle stand in the food court?
Yes, I'm. How may I help you?
Since it's you,
I'll be straight to the point.
Our group would like to buy your noodle stand,
and your rental agreement in the food court,
together with this house you're living in now.
You can name your price.
As long as it's appropriate,
we'll accept it.
You want to buy my noodle stand,
and buy my house,
why?
This is trade secret.
Not that I want to scare you,
but don't you think, so many things happened lately,
aren't they weird?
Look at your jobs,
each one you had, it's closed down,
each of them closed down.
And the house you rented,
why did the landlady want to take it back?
Don't you think it's strange?
Understand, understand.
Great, now that you've found out,
Ming Tian brought his siblings,
they stay with me.
Right, what do you want to do now?
Ming Tian and family really move to your house?
Yes.
He was really unlucky.
So, Ming Zhu and Ming Lang,
are they affected?
The distance to school becomes further?
Does Ming Tian have to wake up early,
and send them to school?
Is it?
Don't you worry, my mum is around.
The two kids at my house,
they had made it their home.
They're happy.
What about Ming Tian's job?
Stop.
You're asking so many questions, why don't you go to my house and ask?
You said that.
I didn't take the initiative to go.
Yes, I invited you.
You didn't take the initiative to go.
That's right,
we must be clear.
Otherwise, Ming Tian will think,
I'm back to my old self.
Don't pack, let's go.
Where to? I haven't started.
Don't train, I want to buy muffin,
for Ming Zhu and Ming Lang. Let's go.
Oh yes, which flavour do you like?
I'll buy for you.
Buy for me?
I want matcha flavour.
Cream?
Or sesame?
I'll eat whatever you buy.
That's better.
Then it's original.
Original.
Senior, how did you know I like original?
Slowly, slowly, go back, go back a bit,
go back, all right, sit down.
Is this fine?
I'll get back a bit more.
Fine, fine.
Fine.
I'm sorry,
I've caused you trouble again.
No, don't say that.
If it weren't for your help just now,
I'd be the one lying in the hospital now.
Hey!
What're you doing?
Three guys against one lady,
aren't you embarrassed?
Please keep this for me.
Yes.
You must be careful.
Don't worry,
it's a small matter,
I can handle it.
Take two steps back.
Be careful.
Here they come!
Normally when I'm outside, I seldom fight with others.
Because I'm very low profile.
Very low profile.
Be careful.
Go!
Quick, help me.
Can I get up?
I can't,
because I...
hurt my back.
Don't move, don't move.
Don't move.
