LOVE CONTRACT 12 Translator: pear & innerouter2000 Timer: pear
Lousy person.
I like a person.
What's wrong?
What happened?
You're back.
Jie (older sister).
I'm telling you.
I made a big discovery.
That is...
...all humans have two sides to them.
Be it man or woman...
Things also have two sides to it.
What are you trying to say?
Listen to me...
Things also have two sides to it.
Like this can of beer...
...it has two sides to it too.
It can either make you drunk,
...or it can make a person wake up.
How to wake up?
Like this.
Hey. Don't be like this.
I'm awake.
Yes... You're right.
What's the matter? Tell me.
Don't bother about me. I'm a weirdo.
You are not the only weirdo in this world.
I received a strange letter today.
It's for you.
"Love Contract" was written on the letter.
Is there someone courting you?
Fancy coming up with such tricks.
Strange...
I remembered I put it in my bag.
Why isn't it here?
Forget it. I'll pass it to you some other day.
Only fools in this world...
...would believe in love.
Xiao Feng.
What?
We are in the midst of a meeting. What are you thinking of?
Nothing.
Where were we at?
Let's continue.
I want to voice my opinions on... a last-minute motion.
Go on.
I hope that...
...we can have a combined training camp.
I object.
Room mate, I haven't finished speaking, don't be so anxious.
The combined training camp I'm talking about...
...is to collaborate with other schools' female Kendo Club.
It's not like the last one we had with the Swimming team.
Think about this.
With more girls around for training,
...wouldn't it be more interesting?
Alright.
Let's not say it's more interesting.
At least, it can heighten our fighting will.
With higher level of fighting will...
...we can have better fighting strength.
With better fighter strength,
...when we take part in competitions...
Then...
...are we going to...
...sign a love contract with the girls in the Kendo club that we are going to train with?
Love Contract?
That..
That is..
Yesterday...
...I received a Love Contract.
What?!
Why do you guys have such a big reaction?
Is it anything special?
Actually, it's not very special.
I don't know, you should ask Kai.
Maybe he knows.
You...
...didn't read the content?
No.
My sister accidentally misplaced it.
Is that in fashion lately?
I don't know either.
Just say you don't know.
Why are you guys so tensed up?
Where on earth did you put it?
I'm searching.
Hey. Can't you help?
You are strange. This is your house, not mine.
How do I know where you place your stuff?
Why can't you think about where you put it,
...instead of searching aimlessly?
Where on earth is it?!
Look here.
How did this happen?
Yeah.
This is the contract I signed with Ken...
That's strange.
What did Xiao Feng receive then?
Since you guys have found the Love Contract,
...then I'll rush back to school for classes.
Since we have found the contract,
...so the stuff at the back,
...we have to pack them.
We will do the packing later.
Although we have solved this...
...there is still another matter to settle.
Let's go out for some fresh air.
I have something to tell you.
Kai.
Kai, I...
Speak up if you have something to say.
Don't take me as an idiot.
You...
...like Xin Lei, don't you?
I really like Xin Lei.
I also hope...
...we can be more mature about this.
Don't spoil our buddy relationship because of a girl.
I have already broken up with Xin Lei.
So, I am in no position to voice my opinions on this.
If Xin Lei accepts you,
...I am most glad to give you two my blessings.
Really?
You won't...
No.
Am I really...
...not dreaming?
Let's go. I'll treat you to a drink.
Is it painful?
You're not dreaming, right?
Is this what a buddy is supposed to do?
Xiao Feng.
How was the concert?
Was it brilliant?
Yes...
It's so brilliant that it's beyond imagination.
Huh?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
Are you free now?
I have to go to the internet cafe to help out.
I'll drive you there.
Hi, Xiao Feng.
Hi.
Mu Tou.
There's a spoilt computer in the cafe.
Why not you drive me there?
Sure.
Xiao Feng.
You seem strange today.
Are you troubled?
Tell me about it.
We are all friends.
Don't brood over it all by yourself.
Xiao Feng.
What's is it?
You look full of troubles.
If you need a listening ear, tell me.
You really want to know?
Of course.
Alright. I'll tell you.
I was thinking...
WHICH CLUB SHOULD I HOLD THE TRAINING CAMP WITH?!!
Xiao Feng.
You came back just at the right time.
Look at this.
How is my new image?
How is it?
I have an appointment with Mei Li Aunty.
We are going for a bowling session.
See you later.
Mu Tou, that no. 5 PC over there has some problem.
Go take a look, okay? Bye Bye.
Oh, okay.
It's gone down the gutter again.
Oh, gosh.
It's okay. When you just start out,
...it's always like this.
I'll demonstrate.
One important point is to...
...grip your fingers well over the bowling ball.
Don't move it. And then..
these two ... here, grip well.
And then, look far with your eyes.
Aim at you target.
Don't release it yet.
And then...
Wow.
You are really great.
You can do everything.
You're even great at sports.
Unlike me, I can't do anything.
That's nothing. I'm not that great.
Actually, I don't know a lot of things too.
Like bowling...
...it was Ken's dad who taught me.
When we first met each other,
...it was at the bowling alley.
- How romantic.. - Why are you like this?
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong?
Your hands were all over me just now. What's that for?
How were my hands all over you?
You dare say they weren't? You keep touching and touching.
I'm telling you, I have had enough of you.
You were the one who wanted me to teach you bowling.
And this...
Old pervert.
You don't have to do this when bowling, okay?
I'm young and beautiful,
...to accompany you out is a compliment to you.
What the hell are you doing?
I'm not playing anymore.
I'm so unlucky to have met you.
Cheng Bao Tai. Who was that just now?
Oh... nothing.
I met my friend's daughter just now.
I was teaching her to bowl.
Oh, really?
Didn't you say you needed to attend meetings everyday,
...and entertain your customers?
You're so busy, all the way to the bowling alley?
I'm really teaching her to bowl.
Cut the crap.
Stop lying.
You are always finding excuses for yourself.
What?
We shall talk when we're back home.
That horny face of yours...
...who will take you as an elder?
Hey. You've been scolding me all the way from the bowling alley.
It's still not enough?
It's not!
Then, what do you want?
All I did was to chat with the girl,
...I'm not doing anything against the law.
And I have this old lady here torturing me the whole day.
Cheng Bao Tai!
What's wrong with me?
I'm telling you...
I've been stuck with your old face for over twenty years.
In these twenty years' time,
...you have been nagging by my ear.
It's enough!
If you have the guts, don't walk off.
I have no guts?
Where did the your daughters come from then?
You...
Why am I having such a hard life?
To have married such a man.
No better than the pig and the dog.
I'm back.
Why isn't the door closed?
Was the bowling session today fun?
Fun... It was really fun.
I even met a bastard and a bitch.
And...
...that bastard is on the second storey of our house.
Dad, stop eating this.
It's not nutritious.
If you are hungry, why not you just go down to eat?
Because there is a crazy bitch downstairs,
...I'm scared I'll be bitten.
Xiao Feng.
Dad is telling you...
It is important for a girl to be gentle.
As the saying goes, "Gentle, fine, respectful, thrifty, giving"...
...being gentle is in the first place.
You must remember what Dad told you.
When you get married in future,
...you must respect your husband.
What are you talking about there?
Your husband is as big as your god.
Yeah, you are right. When the sky falls down, it's me, the wife, shouldering it.
Don't learn from your mom.
In her whole life, she doesn't know what it's like to be gentle.
Gentle?
A gentle wife should be matched with a gentle husband.
Are you very gentle yourself?
They are still quarelling?
Yes.
Why do they have so many issues to quarrel on?
It's never-ending.
Do you think mom has changed recently?
She has tolerated Dad for so many years,
...it's considered enough.
You are right...
...but I'm afraid that such a change...
...could result in a broken family all of a sudden.
I'm not sure whether mom's change in her...
...is going to positively or negatively affect her marriage with Dad.
But, to have a mind of her own,
...and pursuing a life of her own,
...is considered a good thing.
But, it will result in the family tearing up into pieces.
This is not a good thing.
Then, the scar I'm keeping...
...is of no use anymore?
Did you sleep well last night?
No.
No?
It's alright if you didn't get enough sleep,
I'll show you something.
I'll assure you that you will get all your energy back.
Look here.
This is the timetable for the swimming team.
Take a look at it.
How is it? It's not bad, right?
- Not bad... - We'll talk about this over our breakfast.
I'll tell you more.
Hey. Xiao Feng.
- Xiao Feng. - Where are you going?
I'm..
...going to class.
Class...
Do you want to eat breakfast together?
Yeah. Let's eat together.
No need.
I ate too much last night.
I've no appetite now.
Hey.
She's... behaving strangely.
Xiao Feng.
Thanks.
Didn't you just say,
...you ate too much last night,
...and you have no appetite now?
Hey.
What's happened between you and Ken?
Nothing happened between us.
Nothing?
Nothing, then why are you avoiding him?
I'm not avoiding him.
Stop lying.
I think something...
...must have happened between the two of you, right?
Hey.
Don't forget we are childhood friends.
No matter what happened...
...you have to tell me.
Are you willing to say it now?
Qing Xiao Mei. [a nickname for a girl whom you grew up with]
Zhu Xiao Ma. [a nickname for a boy whom you grew up with]
Tom is gone.
Doris is gone too.
Yup. Doris is gone.
Sigh... There is no more pub.
There is no job.
Ken...
...is planning to work at the aquarium.
What to do?
It's raining outside.
My heart is bleeding.
So what should we do?
Be happier (Kai Xin Dian)
Be happier. Be happier (Kai Xin Dian).
It's not like you can be happier just by saying that.
If there is a way to cheer up easily,
...please tell me.
I said open a new shop (Kai Xin Dian). [be happier and open a new shop sounds similar]
- Open a new shop. - Yes.
It's not "be happier".
Aiya. Then what are we selling?
Oh, yes.
Sell packed food.
You are a chef, I'm also a chef.
I know how to cook Japanese dishes.
I know how to cook Taiwanese dishes.
I know how to cook Korean dishes.
Aiya. I know how to cook Italian dishes.
To have met you,
...I haven't lived my life pointlessly.
You're great.
You're great too.
Gan Jiu, Gan Jiu.
Jin Gang.
Let's go sell packed food.
We must sell it.
Sell it.
Ken.
Why are you here?
What are they doing?
The pub closed down.
They've decided to go sell packed food.
I'm going to work at the aquarium.
Pub has closed down?
Then... what about Doris?
You don't know what happened to Doris?
So that Tom,
...was Doris' boyfriend who died two years ago.
She cried the whole night,
...and was all sad the whole night.
I accompanied her throughout the night.
After that... she decided to close down the pub.
So, that was it.
Then, there's nothing else.
Hey, what are you here for?
Hey.
Is your arm feeling better?
It's much better.
- Have a seat. - Thanks.
Wait a moment. I'll go get you a drink.
I'm thirsty.
What's with you today?
Are you that thirsty?
And...
...why did you bring me to such a place today?
Because, I...
I have something to tell you.
Say it.
I...
What do you think of me?
You are acting strange today.
Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?
I...
I want to be with you.
You don't have to use this method to make me happy.
I am serious.
Where is it?
Ken's calling.
Why aren't you picking it up?
None of your business.
You already know that you've mistaken Ken and Doris,
...and yet, you're still refraining yourself.
If you feel uncomfortable to start talking to Ken,
...then I'll talk to him on your behalf.
Mind your own business.
Hey, Xiao Feng.
Art students have to do this too?
I wanted to do this out of my will.
You're using this to pick up chicks?
This is a stalk of "Out of Love" Rose.
"Out of Love" Rose?
No way.
"Thousand People Chop" can be out of love too?
Didn't you say the other time that...
I'm a "flower by the mouth" Smooth Talker?
The first time I strike,
...I'm subdued.
Hey.
How can you say that?
Are you doing justice to Xiao Xiao?
She's not my somebody.
I am not doing injustice to her.
Who do you think cleans up our house daily?
Who do you think washes, folds and irons your clothes everyday,
...and place it in the wardrobe for you?
Sends you three meals everyday?
Who do you think does it?
Do you still have a conscience?
I already confronted her last time.
If she won't listen, what else can I do?
Do you want me to date her reluctantly?
That is even more without a conscience.
You didn't have a conscience to start with.
Every stalk is the same...
...but yet so different.
Little Prince beloved,
...is only this stalk of rose.
Look at this.
The petals are of an odd number.
There is bound be a lonely petal.
That is to say...
...it is fated that there will be one person bound to be sad.
- I'm back. - Xiao Feng.
Kai just came.
He said, he will meet you at the aquarium.
Aquarium?
Why didn't he just call my mobile phone?
He said his battery is flat.
Oh, it's the underwater alley at the aquarium.
Pointless.
Stupid Kai.
He set the appointment and he's late.
Hi.
Hey, what's wrong?
So what is it now?
Kai and you are in his together to cheat me, right?
Is this fun?
No.
Why are you so fierce?
Like a shark.
You bite and run away?
That's right. I'm a shark.
And I'm free to bite whoever I want.
Come over here, I'll tell you something.
What is it?
- Come over here. - What is it?
I'm telling you. Listen up.
Stray dogs do that too.
Why don't you say you are a stray dog then?
What are you laughing at?
Nothing.
Laughing at your cute barking.
What's wrong?
Don't be angry, okay?
What's there to be angry about?
Look at that one...
The biggest one...
That's a "Nurse Shark".
He is very lazy everyday,
...and hides at the bottom the whole day and won't come up.
He will only come out by the night,
...and he sleeps throughout the day.
When he is out, all he does is eat...
...and look for friends.
He only do these two things.
And when he is swimming,
...he swims stupidly,
...as if he is drunk.
He sways and sways.
It's cute, right?
It's cute?
Of course.
And she also very mesmerizing and sexy.
This fish...
...is definitely called Doris.
Hey.
You were avoiding me because of that?
What are you doing? It hurts.
Good.
Actually, sharks are similar to human beings.
As long as you spend more time with it,
...you will come to realize its fierce appearance...
...is just to protect itself.
Look at that one over there,
...the one over there.
She is usually very fierce.
Sometimes, she pretends to not bother about me.
Sometimes, she will suddenly want to bite me.
Can you see it? It's the one over there.
Which one?
That one, wearing a yellow top.
As if fish wear clothes.
It's true. I call her "Crazy Dog Shark".
She lives in the vinegar. (implying she's jealous)
Can you see it?
You dare call me "Crazy Dog Shark"!
I'll bite you to death.
Don't think I don't dare to bite you.
It's not right.
Wow. It's beautiful.
No, it's because the photographer is skilful.
Japanese boy.
I think I belittle you in the past.
I didn't know you're such a skilled photographer.
Please accept my apology.
I'm sorry.
Aiya, Jin Gang-san.
Friendship between men does not require apologies.
Let's toast.
Okay.
Cheers.
Please shoot me a photo book.
Shooting men?
I have no experience in that.
Yeah. Why do you want to a photo book out of the blue?
Look at this.
These muscles are acquired after ten years of tough training.
Now, Doris has no chance to look at them anymore.
So...
I must have them in a photo book,
...and send it to her.
So that she will never to forget me.
It's just like the cherry blossom withering at its best moment.
I understand now, Jin Gang-san.
Just see yourself as a cherry blossom petal gone with the wind.
You must make your last impression before you hit the ground, right?
Last impression?
I didn't think that far.
I think too much then.
Why not this?
I'll take care of your image.
Are you for real?
Alright, Then I'll...
...make use of my thirteen years of photography experience,
...to capture your youthful muscles on film.
So touching.
I, Jin Gang, have not live my life in vain,
...to befriend such good friends.
Let's toast.
Cheers.
The weather is great today.
It's not. It's too hot.
Summer is coming.
Yeah.
You're not buying Xiao Long Bun today?
Summer is coming, I'm changing my taste.
Xiao Feng.
Mu Tou.
Xiao Feng, you're not buying Xiao Long Bun today?
Ken just asked this question too.
Summer is coming, I'm changing my taste.
Look, I prepared so much food.
Wow.
Ken, do you want some?
- I don't want any. - I'll give you some.
You don't want?
Alright. Then pass me the sword.
I'm going for lessons.
Mu Tou. Do you want some?
No.
Remember to come for Kendo training later.
What's wrong with him?
I don't know, he's acting strange.
Looks like he is not in a good mood.
Let's go.
It's so hot.
Hey.
What's wrong with Mu Tou?
He seems like a changed man today.
Look.
He uses so much strength when he strikes.
I think...
...its because he's been giving in to Xiao Feng in the past.
So, he is asking it all back today.
Stand up. Continue with it.
Alright. Who's afraid of who?
Xin Lei, you're here?
After I left...
I then realized it's boring without Kendo.
Xiao Feng...
...can I come back to the Kendo club?
No problem.
Xin Lei, wait a minute.
For you.
Treat it as a gift to welcome you back to the Kendo club.
This is done by you?
Flower pressing.
Is it that flower?
Thank you.
Then, I will go over there for now.
It's delicious.
Xiao Feng, thank you.
You are really a very nice person.
Xin Lei.
Your arm has just recovered.
Will it pose a problem if you eat this?
It's alright.
You eat it slowly.
Xiao Bai.
I'll let you have some of mine, okay?
No, it's not hygienic.
Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai, there is one more bowl here.
No, that's not for him.
Then who is it for?
Sorry, I'm late.
You are very slow.
Ken is here.
I just finished my stuff.
For you. It's melting soon.
Thanks.
I'm dead beat tired.
Ah, oh no!
I'll do it myself.
Alright... okay.
Aiya!
What's wrong?
Did you all realize something?
What is it?
We haven't had a get-together for a long time.
Some other time, we shall all go out to play.
Okay, okay, where are we going?
Xin Lei, what do you think?
Okay.
Kai, how about you?
Anything, I have no opinions.
I'm for it. Xiao Feng...
...you decide where we should go.
That's a great idea.
But what about you?
No problem.
I can change shift with my colleague.
Alright, you guys continue.
I have heaps of things to attend to.
I need to make a move first.
I'll bring this dessert with me.
Hey, what are you busy with? I'll help you.
I'll make a move first. Help me throw that in the bin.
Hey. The two of them are getting closer by the day.
One moment, she is buying him dessert.
The next moment, she is helping him clean his trousers.
He is so fortunate.
Xiao Xiao.
I have something to discuss with you.
Sit down.
I didn't mean to sneak in.
I told Mu Tou before.
If you are not happy about this,
...I won't come tomorrow.
Don't be scared.
I'm not telling you off.
Sit.
Promise me something.
Okay, I promise you.
What is it?
I hope...
I hope you stop doing anything for me.
And don't pin your hopes on me.
In my heart, other than Xin Lei,
...there is no room for anybody else.
Say it one more time.
I was saying...
...stop doing anything for me...
...and don't pin your hopes on me.
In my heart, other than Xin Lei,
...there is no room for anybody else.
Xiao Bai. Are you lying to me?
Look at me.
Say it one more time.
I was saying...
In my heart, other than Xin Lei...
...there is no room for anybody else.
Stop doing anything for me...
...and don't pin your hopes on me.
I was saying...
...don't pin your hopes on me anymore.
And stop doing anything for me.
In my heart, other than Xin Lei...
...there is no room for anybody else.
Stop doing anything for me.
Don't pin your hopes on me.
In my heart, other than Xin Lei...
...I can't accept anybody else.
Don't pin your hopes on me.
Stop doing anything for me.
In my heart, other than Xin Lei...
Xiao Bai.
You should know...
...what I wanted...
...is as simple as the fish swimming in the water.
But...
...I feel that I am like...
...a clown fish swimming in a bottle of mineral water...
...who can't find any exit point.
You know very well which direction you are heading for...
...then head for it happily.
Thank you for your help.
I'll treat you to supper later.
Although we are buddies,
...we should draw clear the line.
We shall pay separately.
Aren't we...
Didn't we agree?
Buddies draw a clear line on money issues.
Big blanket.
Why is it so fat today?
You ate too much, huh?
