Second Time is a Charm
Episode 49
Well, 3 at a time.
Three,
two,
one.
OK. Done.
Thank you.
Well, come in, please.
Hello, welcome
to the cosplay party.
Hello.
Can you take a photo of us?
OK. No problem. No problem.
Thank you.
Come on.
3 at a time.
Thank you.
Ready.
Three, two, one.
OK.
Thank you. Here you are.
Come in, please.
Welcome to the cosplay party.
It turns to be you.
Quickly. Quickly.
This map is a reminder of all the little gifts
in Comics Cafe today.
You can find little gifts
according to this clue
or find a person who's dressed as a rabbit.
If she thinks you look good,
she'll give you a lot of candy.
Understand?
What if she thinks we don't look good?
Impossible.
You must be the best dressed babies
in Comics Cafe today.
What about my dad? Doesn't he go with us?
Surely he will go with us.
Do you forget
your dad will dress himself as that today?
But he's not here yet.
Yes, why isn't he here?
Are you looking for something?
No.
What's wrong?
I am feeling a bit ill.
What's wrong with you?
Dizzy. I feel dizzy.
Do you feel dizzy?
Yes.
Take some medicine.
Take care.
What's the matter?
Why do you feel dizzy suddenly?
Is it serious?
I feel everything goes round and round.
It's so serious.
Then, then don't sit here.
Let me send you to the hospital, mom.
No need.
No need. No need. I don't need to go to the hospital.
Let me sit for a while. I can get better after sitting for a while.
Can you?
Let me tell you the truth.
I miss Guoguo.
She is just next door.
I see.
OK. I'll get Guoguo home later.
We'll be with you tonight, OK?
Good idea.
OK, I'll tidy up
and go and get Guoguo home.
What a pity.
Guoguo has been longing for the activity tonight
for a long time.
Guoguo,
I have no way.
That's good for your dad.
I really miss you.
Dad,
it's time for you to act.
Don't call me.
Hello,
why are you calling me?
Speak.
Why don't you answer me?
Xu Lang.
What's the matter?
I, I feel something is wrong.
I, I am a little worried.
You...
What, what's the matter?
Well,
your dad...
Did he call you?
My dad?
He didn't call me. What's the matter?
He called me,
but he didn't speak when I answered his call.
When I called him back, he didn't answer.
So?
So I am a little worried.
Your dad has a heart attack.
Do, do you remember what happened to him last time?
Luckily, I didn't go far.
After going home, I sent him to the hospital
as soon as possible.
Well, mom.
Calm down. Calm down.
Sit.
There's no such thing.
Don't think so much. My dad is fine.
No.
As one grows old, many things may...
No, I, I'd better go home and have a look.
Well, you have a headache.
Can you go?
Well, I'm fine. I'll first
go home and see him.
Are you alright?
Yes, I need to go now.
Take care on the road.
Dad,
my mom went back.
Dad.
Uncle.
Quickly.
Dad.
- Uncle Xu Lang. - Dad.
Why are you laughing?
Come in now.
Don't move. Let me take a photo of you.
One, two, three.
Stop.
I'll also take one photo of you.
Listen.
Don't go back on your word today, do you know?
This time, I definitely...
So ugly. I won't dress like that.
Xu Lang.
OK. I'll put my costume on. I'll put it on.
I put your costume in the bedroom.
Do you need me to help you put it on?
No. No.
I can do myself. I can.
You don't understand.
You can't just put on
your cosplay costume.
You also need to put on makeup.
No, so exciting.
I can't bear. I can't bear.
You must put on makeup.
You have to put it on. You have to put it on.
You have to put it on. You must put on makeup.
You must put on makeup.
Don't worry.
I'm sure I'll dress you up today.
Xu Jinsong.
Xu.
Be quiet.
You scared me out of my mind.
What do you want to do?
What are you talking about?
Why did you call me?
If I didn't call you, you wouldn't come home.
You... You...
You, you scared me out of my mind. You scared me out of my mind.
Sit.
Stay at home
today.
Don't go anywhere.
What do you mean?
Well.
You're killing me.
I am in my sixties.
Are you?
You don't look like a person of that old.
Ask your theatre fans
whether any of them thinks you're that old.
I asked someone to practice divination for you.
It's said
you can live long.
Even so,
your scare may shorten my life.
No, you're strong enough.
It's good that you're OK.
However, if I leave,
Xu Lang and An An
will...
Leave them alone.
Care about me, OK?
I find Xu Lang
becomes better and better day by day.
You can see that too.
Right?
But...
But what?
Isn't this your wish?
We both hope
Xu Lang can have a happy life,
right?
If An An
can bring him happiness,
what, what else do you still worry about?
I...
Stop that.
In fact, I know what your concern is.
Over these years,
you've felt a bit guilty
about this matter.
To put it bluntly,
you've felt guilty.
But what's your starting point?
You just hope Xu Lang can be happy,
right?
If he is happy,
does he get out of the shadow of that thing
as early as possible?
If he can get out of the shadow of that thing as early as possible,
can he forgive you soon?
Right?
You peacemaker.
Anyhow you don't settle a difference by way of compromise today.
Yes, I don't.
Then it's time for you to do something today.
Today we don't settle a difference by way of compromise.
Let's knead dough.
Go to cook.
Go to cook, OK?
Knead dough
to make noodles.
I want to have handmade noodles.
Go now.
I'm hungry.
When I played go,
I drank eight cups of tea a day.
There aren't any tea cakes at home.
My stomach is growling.
Did you hear?
So annoying.
Am I?
Why are there tea cakes when you're at home?
Why aren't there tea cakes when I'm at home?
If I didn't call you to come home,
I even couldn't have anything to drink tea with.
I couldn't have meals, either.
Quickly.
I'm starving.
Quickly.
Are you ready?
Are you really ready?
Yes.
Guoguo,
I'm particularly worried that
your dad's look may leave you a mental shadow.
No, quickly.
Mom, quickly.
We're both in a hurry. Quickly.
OK, I know.
Coming.
Quickly.
Aunt An An, stop kidding.
Quickly.
- Quickly. - Come out.
- Quickly. - An An.
Let's make an agreement.
No one is allowed to take photos of me today.
- Don't... - OK.
No one is allowed to leave
any image data today.
Heard, kids?
Yes.
But today, your voice and expression
will always be in my heart.
Quickly.
Quickly. Quickly.
Quickly.
We'll take the starving Cai Wenji
and Li Yuanfang to ask for candy.
Let's not go, OK?
I'll buy whatever candy you want
and buy as much as you want, OK?
No.
Heard?
As a man, you should admit your failure.
The manlier a man is,
the less afraid he is to wear women's dress.
Quickly.
Come on. Come on.
Come out.
No. No.
You look pretty.
No.
Be confident of yourself, OK?
- No. No. - Quickly.
Quickly.
No.
The legal person of a homestay
doesn't agree to transfer his house.
Ming's House on Phuket.
The legal person is Xu Lang.
The characters "xu (surname)" and "lang (bright and clear)".
Thank you.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
Why do you want to meet me?
Do you invite me here to see you playing with a glass?
Would you stop investigating
the matter of Xu Lang and Xu Guo?
Is it meaningful
to say these things to me
at such a valuable time
in such a good restaurant?
Don't investigate it again.
Xu Lang doesn't want anyone
to mention this matter.
If you don't want Xu Lang to hate you,
or if you still want to be good friends,
stop investigating now.
Do you know something?
Five years ago,
Xu Lang had a serious car accident
and went to Thailand to recuperate for a long time.
This is not news. I know it.
There was also an important purpose for him
to recuperate in Thailand.
Do you know?
Tidied the belongings of Xu Guo's mom.
According to the time,
Xu Guo's mom must have been killed
in the same car accident.
She was called Lin Wanting,
running a homestay in Thailand.
After she died,
Xu Lang not only took over her homestay,
but also adopted her daughter.
I happened to touch Lin Wanting's homestay
on the line of buying homestays.
My subordinate
has been in touch with Xu Lang to buy it,
but Xu Lang refuses to sell it.
You can imagine
how important
this is to Xu Lang.
It's possible that
he hasn't come out of this so far,
so I hope you stop investigating again.
You may hurt others
and yourself.
That doesn't make sense.
First,
what exactly is the relationship between Xu Lang and Xu Guo?
Second,
what exactly is the relationship between Xu Lang and the woman?
Third,
why does he treat me so badly
after I came back five years later?
He hates me.
Is it related to
Lin Wanting and Xu Guo?
I've got it all right here.
You ask me to stop.
Listen. It's impossible.
I'll leave.
Yilin,
don't investigate this matter again. It...
Why do you still wear this costume?
You wear the same costume
at every cosplay party.
So uncreative.
What's wrong with my costume?
I can move my arms and legs conveniently.
Miss Qiu, are you here to fight?
Me. Me.
Your husband. Your husband.
Your husband.
You really have great strength.
Do you dress yourself
as Fish Warrior?
Well, you recognize it at a glance.
It turns out you really like him.
Where is my sword?
Terrible. I left my sword in the car.
I'll go and fetch my sword.
Wait for me for a moment.
Is Fish Warrior he dresses himself as
a comic image?
I didn't read about such a role.
I also don't know who Fish Warrior is.
He told me this morning that he was going to dress himself as Fish Warrior.
Only I, such a pretty and kind girl,
can cooperate with your performance.
Yes.
Hello. Welcome.
There's an activity in our cafe.
Go.
Well, hello.
It's the cosplay night.
You can enter only after wearing a cosplay costume.
One more.
An An.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Take a photo of them.
What are you doing?
Turn round.
Don't be shy.
Put down the flowers.
Xu Lang.
Shoot a video of me.
OK. OK.
No. No.
Susan, stop.
This side. This side.
Stop, Susan.
Don't cover your face.
He has a bulging chest.
Don's cover your face.
Don't touch me.
Guoguo.
Guoguo, go.
Guoguo. Let's take a selfie.
I never asked you to take a photo with me.
Xu Lang.
Take a selfie.
Let's, let's take a selfie.
It's a rare chance. Come on.
Doudou. Doudou. Doudou.
How did you persuade him
to go out in such a costume?
Tonight, you couple are expected to kiss each other.
Did you play the game "Arena Of Valor"?
In it, Li Bai and Xiaoqiao don't love each other.
I'm Zhou Yu.
Then it's hopeless.
Shut up, OK?
Yes.
I've been preparing for this day for a long time.
Don't listen to her.
An An,
there is the activity of "Love Pizza" in our cafe tonight.
If a couple kisses each other,
they can get the most expensive supreme pizza of our cafe.
As the manager of the cafe,
you actually cheat and disrupt the game
in such a shameless way.
You cheat. Who is shameless?
Who, who is shameless?
Be behaved.
Don't jinx it!
You're the most shameless one.
Be behaved, OK?
Is this my drink?
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
Tian,
our costumes match well today.
Yes.
You're in red, while I blue.
Since ancient times, this has been the standard matching of a couple.
Really?
Yes.
What's the matter?
Don't you believe?
If you don't believe,
do you think you match Hulk?
Red and green...
What?
...are the worst matching.
Let's take part in
the activity of "Love Pizza", OK?
Why?
If not,
do you want to take part in it with Hulk?
Good idea.
No, I have to kill him.
No.
Why do you stop me?
Why?
Do you want to compete with me?
Why did you take off your wedding dress?
Why, indeed? Why did you take off it?
I didn't see you wearing it.
I am not as stupid as him.
Why did you take off the costume?
We reached an agreement.
Yes, I agreed
to come in that wedding dress,
but our oral agreement doesn't say
how long I should wear it, right?
Well.
I should have been careful when reaching an agreement with a lawyer.
I haven't taken a photo.
Xu Lang,
will you take part in the activity "Love Pizza" later?
What's it?
That activity on the poster.
Kiss for Pizza Discounts.
10% off. 15% off. 20% off.
They're clear and easy to understand.
25% off. 40% off.
They want to express their deep love, which is also understandable.
50% off.
What does it mean?
Did, did you watch "Spider-Man"?
No.
Then you must have heard of him.
Yes.
In a season, the hero
just kisses the heroine in this way.
Suspended?
Yes.
Do you want to try?
50% off.
No, it's tiring.
Well, we can try
one of the higher discounts,
OK?
Don't look at me.
Then let's practice first.
Stop.
My hairstyle.
I'm going to the bathroom.
OK.
Qiu Tian, let me ask you seriously.
Do you take to Hulk rather than me?
Why are you in such a place?
It turns out a goddess also comes for fun
in this place.
I come to you.
Come to me?
No. You don't tell me anything pleasant every time you meet me.
Is that important what I tell you?
Anyway, the thing we want to know
is not something pleasant.
What do you mean?
I suddenly feel
it's so boring for me
to tell you something.
Xu Lang should tell you that.
Don't speak cynically, OK?
If you want to tell me something, just go ahead.
Do you know Xu Lang had a car accident five years ago?
We all know that.
Then do you know
Xu Lang isn't the biological father of Xu Guo?
Don't talk nonsense.
How is that possible?
Are you greatly shocked?
Do you feel you have a pitiful condition?
Xu Lang has been unwilling
to tell you anything until now.
More pitifully than that,
you don't know anything.
You don't know anything about him.
But you have to pretend you love him so much.
An An,
do you think
how much a man can love you
if he doesn't want to share
his most important experience with you?
We don't know his experience,
but he is willing to bring up the kid for a woman.
It shows he loved the woman so much.
In fact, both of us lost.
How can we fight for a place in his heart
with a dead man?
Stop
talking nonsense.
Is it meaningful
for you to investigate this every day?
Boring.
Scared, right?
Are you scared?
You don't want to face it and you want to escape, right?
Listen.
Whatever happened in this world,
we have to face it and can't escape.
I'll tell you
the truth of the matter.
I have something to talk to you.
I'm with Guoguo today.
If you have something, talk to me another day.
It won't take you a long time.
Why did you change your clothes?
You looked good.
After dating a young girl,
you have low taste.
You can even find me here.
Your mom told me.
As long as I want to know something about you,
she will tell me.
Without doubt,
except for the car accident.
Let me go. Let yourself go.
No.
I'll go on investigating
until the truth comes to light.
There's no need to talk.
Aren't you curious?
No one told me
anything about that.
What did I actually know?
How is my investigation?
I am not curious.
As the old professor told us,
when the other person asks
a specious question
and I don't think how to answer it,
I'd better choose a negative answer
because the negative answer
will break the tone of the other person
and I can search for the corresponding answer
when the other person hesitates.
So you're curious.
You're extremely curious.
You're eager to know my mind
and see what I'm trying to say to you.
OK.
I admit that
this is really my forbidden area.
I don't want it to be mentioned,
nor do I want to think about it myself.
I have a good life now.
And I hope my life can be better and better in the future.
To be honest, I really don't want to know
anything about you right now.
When I see you,
I feel suffocated
and want to escape due to scare,
while I felt extremely excited before.
I hope you have a good life.
I sincerely hope you have a better and better life.
Why don't you tell Xu Guo
you aren't her biological father?
You should have told me.
There was such a serious car accident.
Even if you were disappointed with me,
you should have told me.
Even if I only had the last job
in my life,
I would put it down and go back to take care of you
without hesitation.
Didn't you trust
our four-year relationship?
I don't know what happened
and caused the whole thing off track.
I don't know why you didn't see me
in the UK those years.
I don't know
why you disappeared suddenly.
I even don't know
why you who can bring up the kid of others
actually hate me.
I had that car accident
because I went to look for you.
What?
Listen carefully.
I had that car accident
because I went to look for you.
The day when you were going to the UK,
you didn't answer my calls
and messages.
I had that car accident to look for you
and keep you.
That day when the car accident happened,
there were also Xu Guo's biological parents,
namely my brother
and his wife,
besides me.
Is my explanation clear?
You ask me why I bring up the kid of others.
She isn't the kid of others
but my brother's daughter.
You ask me why I hate you.
You didn't do anything wrong, Shen Yilin.
But I just hate you.
I loved you so much,
so I hate you now.
Every time I face you now,
I can't think of dawn
but endless nightmares.
Do you two listen to my explanation
clearly?
Did you hear all?
Are you that curious?
You're so curious that you even cooperate with an outsider, aren't you?
Sorry.
But if it weren't today,
would you tell me that?
No.
Why?
I don't trust you that much.
What?
Maybe I don't trust you
as much as I think.
Let's stop talking.
If we talk again, there will be an uncontrollable situation.
Let's calm down.
Dad.
Do you enjoy yourself?
Where is Doudou?
He seems to play with other kids.
Dad.
What's the matter? You're not happy?
No.
Let me play with you, OK?
Come on.
Qiu Tian.
Ready,
go.
I thought I was happy, so
they were surely envious or jealous of me.
Everything was surely perfect.
I had that car accident
because I went to look for you.
The day when you were going to the UK,
you didn't answer my calls
and messages.
I had that car accident to look for you
and keep you.
That day when the car accident happened,
there were also Xu Guo's biological parents,
namely my brother
and his wife,
besides me.
Every time I face you now,
I can't think of dawn
but endless nightmares.
Tell me, you've loved all the time.
I am also
looking for her.
What are you doing?
Do you know?
Yilin,
what's the matter with you?
I want to go home.
Send me home.
OK.
Don't be afraid.
Anyhow, I am with you.
Go. Let's go home.
Idiot.
Senior.
Well, do you miss me so much
that you are calling me
the moment you reached Germany?
What time is it in Germany? Is it at night?
Do you still have the mood to joke with me?
Listen, there is something wrong.
Shen Yilin will leave.
Where will she go?
The UK.
Nonsense.
Don't scare me.
Stop talking nonsense.
I am serious.
She got her offer early,
but she has kept it from us
all the time.
I guess
she's afraid we'll stop her from leaving
after knowing it.
If I didn't call
our old professor
and he told me that by chance,
I guess
you would receive her call
from Great Britain next time.
The number you dialed has been transferred to voicemail.
Please leave a message.
Where are you?
Why can't I get through to you?
Will you go to the UK?
Don't leave, OK?
No, I don't stop you from going to the UK.
I mean we should
meet again.
You can't leave directly.
Well, Lin.
I beg you, OK?
Can you change to a later flight?
I'm going to pick up
a very important person today.
You never saw him.
He's my family.
Wait for me.
Dad, let me use your car today.
Xu Lang,
where else will you go later?
No.
Really?
You're absent-minded all the way.
It seems you have a girlfriend.
She must be waiting for you.
No, don't kid me.
I,
I will go to a place later.
But I'm not sure
if she can wait for me.
But anyway I'll send you
to our parents' place first.
After all, so many years passed.
You're finally back.
Our family can finally be reunited.
Why don't you bring your girlfriend with us
for dinner tonight?
I wonder whether our mom forgives me.
Sure. She is your mom.
It's my fault that I was so rebellious when I was young.
I ran away from home as soon as I got angry.
And I left for so many years.
Really?
I can't imagine
such a gentle and mature man
was a rebellious teenager.
Brother, don't worry.
In fact, over the years, I can vaguely feel that
our parents have always known that there is a connection between us.
Maybe they read
our letters.
And they know you run a homestay in Thailand
and everything goes well with you.
In fact, in their hearts,
they just want you to come back.
They just want you to stand in front of them
and apologize to them
for your mistake.
That's so simple.
If they still can't forgive you,
you still have the master card, right?
When does the competition start?
Mom, I want that.
So lovely.
Dad, I want that doll.
Do embroidery.
Knit a sweater.
I'll buy you one.
The doll can't be bought outside.
OK.
Mom, come on. Mom, come on.
Mom, quickly.
Good.
Great. Great.
Great. Very good.
Forget it. I don't want it.
I love you, dad.
