[Episode 18: Help me! I already got my bus ticket!]
Look at your lifestyle.
You're just eating instant noodles everyday.
Mom, can we talk calmly?
Show me how to be calm.
My work is actually pretty good.
I send money back home on time every month.
Eat more. Come back home with me tomorrow.
What home?
Of course it's your home.
[Wifi: ￥50]
Stingy. Here is fifty.
[￥+50]
Are we having a Office Lady theme party today?
Ding Xiaorou, you dressed like this and called us here for what?
Don't even mention it. My mom thought I go to work every day and punch cards.
But it doesn't have to be 8am.
My mom woke up at 6am to clean the house.
Just tell her that you freelance and you don't have to work everyday.
Do you know that we are from different generations?
In my mother's mind,
if I don't have a job where I need to go to work on time, it's not a real job.
And in her mind, I'm not the kind who has a real job.
Also, last night,
my mother gave me an ultimatum.
She asked me to go back home with her.
What?
[Cry]
Auntie!
Auntie, this is for this bin.
Do you see this? This is for recyclable.
Here, let me help.
This is for this one.
Thank you.
You are welcome!
Is it a battlefield or are they going to work?
Aunty, are you alright?
I'm fine. Thank you, young man.
Careful.
You don't have to worry.
Let me take you to the hospital.
Do I look like I'm scamming you? No need.
Let me drive you.
This car must cost a lot.
It's okay.
Is it easy to drive?
It—
What do you mean, Auntie?
You are just mean to my Xiaorou.
She is kind and nice.
You convinced her to go on that show,
so you make money.
You are greedy.
Auntie, our show doesn't mean evil.
Stop it.
People from your industry are good talkers.
Stop calling her.
Xiaorou told me that she is busy at work.
Don't make her worry about me.
I'm calling my coworker.
Hello, Ah Zhen.
You start the meeting first. I have something personal to deal with.
Okay, bye.
Don't worry. You are fine.
They are just small wounds. Just put some ointment.
- Thank you.- You are welcome.
Thank you, Doctor.
I told you I was fine and you had to take me to the hospital.
Auntie, your health is the most important. It's better safe than sorry.
Chi Xin.
Sasa.
Auntie.
Who are you?
It's me.
Nan Sasa!
Let me see you.
You look good in this!
This is a nice gig. You are doing well for yourself.
Don't compliment me, Auntie.
Xiaorou told me that you are coming and I've been planning on visiting you.
I didn't expect to see you here.
But Auntie, what are you doing here?
I just tripped.
This guy had to take me here. Even the doctor said I'm fine.
- Right?- She is fine.
Don't tell Xiaorou.
- Are you really okay?- I am okay.
Doctor Nan, the operation will start soon.
I will be there soon.
Aunty, you have to stay longer this time. I'm going to take you out to eat.
Ok. Go do your thing.
Chi Xin, take care of her.
Ok.
Bye.
- Bye.- Bye
Auntie, you haven't had breakfast, right?
Sasa was right. There are many good restaurants around here.
Let's go to one.
There are noodles, tofu, cake and burgers.
- And there are buns...- Ice cream.
Her entire family likes sweets.
Ice cream?
When I came here, the neighbors said that
Xiaorou made an ice cream that is quite popular.
I have to try it.
It is Bonzai ice cream.
You know it, too?
I think if your mother comes to live with you, it might be a good thing.
She can do laundry for you and cook for you. You will have a lot of hand in your hands.
What's good about it? She is invading my privacy.
Also, I have to pretend to go to work every day. So much hassle.
You can come here.
Every day? Even if you don't find me annoying, I would find myself annoying.
I won't find you annoying. I have customers here.
They stay here all day like they are at work.
They just sit there?
You don't have to just sit here.
You can make ice cream. The ice creams you make are delicious.
Maybe I can even pay you.
I can't pay you a lot.
If you just—
My...mom...
Mingzhu, this is Xiarou's mom. She is here for the ice cream.
Xiaorou's mom... Mom?
Auntie, hello! Hello! I've heard a lot about you from Xiaorou.
You look so young. You look good for your age.
Thank you.
What flavors do you have for ice cream?
You came to the right place for ice cream.
Other than the popular one, we have many other ones, too.
Go...
We have "Don't Curse Ice Cream",
"Can't Love Ice Cream" and "I'm Sorry Ice Cream".
Which flavor would you like?
Do you have something with nicer sounding names?
- What...- What's with your eyes?
My eyes?
My eyes...were...bitten by mosquitos.
- Mosquitos? - There are mosquitos.
A very big one.
Auntie, let's try this one. "Can't Love Ice Cream".
- This is special here. It's very good.- Yes.
Okay, I will try this then.
[Sasa]
Hello, President Zhou?
Strange.
The stock market is not good right now! You need to get ready to sell!
If you don't want to be locked down, wait for my signal.
That's right!
Hello?
What hello?
It's me. Is she really alright?
Right, my signal was not good. I got disconnected.
Can iPhone use two SIM cards?
Yes.
Stock? What stock?
I think... it's time to sell.
Right, it's time to sell.
If you don't sell now, you will never have time.
Take your chances.
If you don't have anything else, I'm hanging up.
Hello?
What was it? I don't have any stocks.
[Woman]
Auntie, we have these flavors that are also popular. Please try.
I can't eat anymore.
I'm in the restroom. Tell me when my mom leaves.
How could you count this as a meal?
Go do your thing. I will go use the restroom.
The restroom?
I will take you, Auntie.
It's okay. I know where it is. It's just right there.
Auntie!
I will take you.
This way.
Auntie! This lock is broken! It's broken!
Why don't you use the man's restroom?
There shouldn't be anyone in the man's restroom.
I will go take a look.
It was locked from inside.
It was Xiaorou in there, right?
Who?
Was it funny to lie to me like that?
I'm old and I can't see well, but I'm not stupid.
Auntie, you knew everything. So why didn't you...
Why? You wanted me to open the door?
Do I yell at her or beat her up?
She is not a little kid anymore.
Auntie, Xiaorou didn't mean to lie to you.
She is lying to me.
Which part of it was true?
I don't actually ask for anything from her.
If she can find a good job like Sasa,
and make a stable living,
I will fill more secured.
But look at her now. She just wanders around everyday.
My heart is also wandering around with her.
It's in the air.
Sasa does have a good job.
But not every job has a regular work hour.
Xiaorou's job is called freelancing.
It sounds nice when you call it "freelancing".
It's no different than a temp worker.
When there is work in the construction, she goes. And people pick and choose.
Auntie, Xiaorou's job is not like that.
What's so different from it? Look at what she does.
What was it called again? It was hard to pronounce.
She just changes outfit for the models.
She just works like one day a week and doesn't get to eat all three meals.
Auntie, it's call window display design.
It's Xiaorou's interest and her dream.
It's really different.
I also have a dream as her mother.
My dream is that my daughter can be healthy, marry properly,
and have a stable job.
No one can bully her.
She never gets hungry and cold. Just have a happy life as a normal person.
Isn't that nice?
Auntie, that's your dream.
Xiaorou's dream is to keep working hard for her career.
I don't understand how young people think.
What's so good about here?
There are too many people and cars here.
Traffics are terrible and everything is expensive.
The air is polluted.
Going to work is like going to war.
What's to miss about this place?
But I have to thank you for taking me to the hospital.
Just pull over there.
It's not far from home.
If there is nothing else, I should stop bothering you.
Auntie, your groceries.
Be safe.
Why is my mom with Chi Xin?
You mom fell and Chi Xin took her to the hospital.
I don't know why, and how they came here.
Was her foot okay?
You saw it. She was aggressive and energetic.
She is fine. You are the one who is not.
How do you know?
Sasa called me.
Because no one answered when she called you guys, so she called me.
Good.
There is still a little while before you get off "work".
How about keep making ice cream for me?
[Resignation Letter...Ding Xiaorou]
Zheng Ze, thank you.
I've never thought that you would tell me this.
It was the first time someone did this many things for me.
I really appreciate it.
I don't know what to do now and I'm not thinking right.
Can I have some time to think?
Mom, I'm back.
I had meetings for the entire day. I'm so tired.
My back can't even be straight.
So much food!
- I love chicken feet.- Wash your hands!
I won't die from it.
How's your leg?
Sasa told me today.
My leg is fine. I'm just feel suffocated.
The air quality is not very good here.
You work so hard every day. Why?
I'm like this every day. I'm used to it.
If I have a break, I would feel weird.
I think you are tired of acting.
It's the train ticket for the day after tomorrow.
Mom, what does this mean?
Did you really go to work today?
You think I didn't know that you were in the restroom?
Your friends helped you, and I didn't call you out to save you from your embarrassment.
But you can't lie to me like that.
Mom, I did lie to you a bit.
My life is not as nice as you think.
But it's not as bad as you think.
Ever since I was a kid, you've been strict with me, which I didn't have a problem with,
because I knew that you meant well.
I have my dream to chase after.
I've got the tickets.
I will pack your stuff.
Where are you going?
[Mom]
Coming.
Auntie, what's wrong?
Ding Xiaorou.
Why are you here alone?
Don't you know that your mom is worried about you?
If you have anything, just talk to your mom at home.
It's her first time here and she doesn't know anyone.
What if she gets lost when she comes out to look for you?
Also, you just got stalked by someone yesterday. Did you forget about that?
Don't you know that it's dangerous at night to be out alone?
Could you leave me alone?
We are just neighbors who live upstairs and downstairs.
Do you like to be part of other people's business this much?
I don't like to be part of others' business.
I'm worried about you.
Say whatever you want. Your mom is waiting for you at home.
Let's go.
Don't you feel good about yourself?
Do you know what kind of consequences you are causing to other people?
If I didn't go to your show, my mom wouldn't be here.
If you didn't take her to the cafe today, I wouldn't be this miserable.
I had a chance.
My mom has decided to take me home.
What?
The jerk who caused you all kinds of troubles is now leaving this city.
I didn't want to leave like this when I moved here.
There are still a lot of things that I haven't accomplished here.
My friends, my dreams, and my window displays.
Xiaorou,
I'm sorry. I didn't know that it would turn out like this.
Maybe Auntie is just mad. If you can just talk to her—
My mom has bought the train tickets and it's in two days.
I know her so well.
Ever since I was young, she will never change her decision.
All these years, I've had many obstacles.
But I've never thought about giving up.
I've always been protecting this little flame of hope.
But today, I feel so bad.
I feel like I heard "boom"
and the flame died.
♫ You make me feel lonely, lonely ♫
♫ I can’t find it my heart, my love ♫
♫ Lost in your lonely eyes (Lost in your lonely eyes) ♫
♫ Hidden in the flow of a crowd ♫
♫ Lonely, lonely ♫
♫ Don’t remind me heartless, heartbreak ♫
♫ Give me a hug, warm me up ♫
♫ I don’t wanna be alone ♫
♫ The expansive starry sky of the universe ♫
♫ Only pauses momentarily for you, about love ♫
Even if there are obstacles and sorrow,
but at least we can do what we really want to do.
And what we like to do.
I think, regardless of the result,
the process of going after my dream is already satisfying enough.
Yay!
I believe that even if there is only one flame of hope,
and as bright as one shooting star,
I still believe that those unrealistic and laughable dreams can come true.
Boss, here is the list of our shooting locations. There are three of those.
The budget is okay. Every location is unique.
Take a look and tell me what you think.
There are still a lot of things that I haven't accomplished here.
My friends, my dreams, and my window displays.
My mom has bought the tickets. It's in two days.
I know her so well.
Ever since I was young, she will never change her decision.
Boss.
Go ahead.
Boss, take a look. These are the VCR of all the candidates.
They mainly introduce their dreams, and their careers.
VCR...dreams...
Boss, are you going to look over them now?
- Boss.- Boss!
Please come in.
What a pleasant surprise. It's your fist time visiting me here.
Sit.
I know that you are not just here for coffee. What's up?
Sorry for bothering you. I want you to do me a small favor.
What favor?
Do you have Ding Xiaorou's speech for the charity event?
We hired the camera crew from outside.
Also, they haven't turned in the footage yet.
Where can I find it?
Is it this one?
- It's that one.- Let's go.
- Where is he?-I am Ding Haifeng.
You got the files last minute. You are good.
Thank you for today.
Chi Xin, I should be thanking her.
I need to thank her for letting me see how much you would do for a woman.
She is a good girl. Be good to her.
She is still eating.
What do we do?
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop eating.
Miss Ding Xiaorou, I canceled three surgeries to be here.
Don't tell me that you are just inviting me here to look at you eating ice cream.
Yeah, right. Why aren't you dressing formally today?
It's not the weekend yet. Don't you have to be pretending that you are working?
Don't tell me that her mom found out about it.
It must be. I am telling you. When she is upset, she binges on ice creams.
Gosh. How many cups are these?
Could you pay for them first?
How about this? Let's start a blog.
Send her gifts.
Why aren't you talking?
It's so great.
What's so great?
Talking with you two like this.
It's so great to have you two and ice creams.
What's the situation? Why are you saying that all of sudden?
Did something happen?
Mingzhu, I probably can't make ice cream for you anymore.
Sasa, I probably can't have you flip the sign anymore.
Stop it.
What do you mean?
Don't tell me that your mother is really taking you home.
The ticket is for tomorrow.
What? Did you agree to it?
I like my job as a window display designer.
But if I have to choose between my mother and the window displays,
I don't have a choice.
I still have you two, but my mother only got me.
Sasa, don't go.
My mother is still upset. If you go, she will be even more upset.
But...
Xiaorou, don't panic.
Let's think of a way to deal with it.
One day, when Auntie comes to her senses, she will let you come back.
Poor Xiaorou.
Who is it? Coming.
Auntie.

[My Girlfriend]
Are we having a Office Lady theme party today?
Ding Xiaorou, you asked us to be here and you dress like this. For what?
Don't even get me started.
My mom thought I go to work and punch in every day.
But it doesn't have to be 8 am.
My mom woke up at 6 in the morning to clean.
Just tell your mom that you freelance and you don't have to work everyday.
Also, last night, my mother gave me an ultimatum.
She asked me to go back home with her.
What? What happened? Be specific.
Last night, my mother gave me three options.
First, pack and go home with her.
Second, I can stay, but I have to have a home here.
Third, if I have to stay here,
she has to live with me until I agree to go home with her,
or the day I marry someone here.
Second. I mean the second one is her only way out.
Unless...I get married here?
Yeah. Think about it.
If you make it, you have love and dream.
Killing two birds with one stone.
I think Mingzhu is right. It's your only way out.
If I have to say, I think your mother is helping you here.
Look, Zheng Ze confessed to you yesterday.
And your mother is pushing you to get married today.
I can lie to other people, but I can't lie to myself.
All three of us are useless.
Could you two say something helpful?
You had good cards but you didn't play them well.
You are hopeless. No one can save you.
I am going to the hospital now. I have three surgeries.
Sasa! Sasa! We haven't came up with a solution yet!
I need to run my cafe.
Mingzhu. Come back.
You two...
What do I do?
♫ Maybe it’s because I see lots of hugs that lead to separation ♫
♫ Maybe it’s because I write too many sentimental tunes ♫
♫ I don’t like to smile everyday ♫
♫ Nor do I have any troubles in mind ♫
♫ It’s just that everything I do feels irritated ♫
♫ I recently saw the new photo of you and him ♫
