Second Time is a Charm
Episode 14
Mrs. Xu, sorry to keep you waiting for a long time.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
I...
I don't know what you like to eat,
so I ordered some dishes
according to what they recommended.
Good. Good. So many dishes.
Let's eat first, OK?
OK.
Have tea. If they aren't enough, we can order again.
OK. Thank you.
Shen.
Just call me Yilin. Don't stand on ceremony.
OK.
Yilin, where are your parents from?
They're from Shanghai.
I know.
Are they retired?
Yes.
That's great.
Since they're in Shanghai,
I can invite them to have afternoon tea
if they have time.
OK.
I'll tell them when I have time.
Mrs. Xu, do you meet me
to talk about Xu Lang with me?
You can talk directly. It doesn't matter.
I invited you here so abruptly.
I do want to ask you something.
You're Xu Lang's university classmate?
Yes.
You were once in love.
My son has a habit.
He never kept any photos
except for this one.
He has always kept it in my place
and hasn't thrown it.
I think the person in the photo
must be very important to him
In fact, when you came to my home that day,
I thought you were familiar.
But I didn't figure out who you were.
After you left,
I found the person in the photo was just you,
right?
It's me.
Xu Lang is a filial son.
Due to some family incidents,
he seems to be distanced
from me
and doesn't tell me anything.
He didn't tell me he had a girlfriend.
Nor did he take you home and introduce you to us.
You said you had studied abroad.
Did you break up for this reason?
Yes.
Now you're back.
How long will you stay?
I won't leave, Mrs. Xu.
I want to develop at home.
You won't leave.
You want to develop at home.
Good. Good.
Well,
I feel embarrassed to say.
But for my son
Xu Lang,
I have to ask you something shamelessly.
Mrs. Xu, don't say that.
Yilin, do you still love Xu Lang?
Mrs. Xu,
Xu Lang refused me directly
and said it was impossible for us to be together.
I know him well.
He is so stubborn.
In fact, after visiting us,
you also find
Xu Lang
is completely different from
when he used to be a student.
It's because of what happened to my family.
Is it because of Xu Guo's mom?
Yilin,
if you still love Xu Lang,
don't give up.
If you don't give up,
I'll try my best to help you
and support you.
Have tea.
An An, one of my friends runs a pet store.
I told him
you had hit your colleague's pet dead.
What does his pet look like?
I can ask my friend to buy one later
so that you can give it to your colleague.
Really?
That's great.
I don't know what to do.
What kind of rat is it?
Cavy?
Mouse? Hamster?
Or cobaya?
I don't know.
Then draw it and let me see.
It looks like so.
What's this?
That's what it looks like to me.
When I opened my eyes that day,
it looked at me in this way.
This isn't a rat but a monster.
Stop saying that.
You think it's a monster,
but it's the treasure of my colleague
and he kept it for a long time.
The drawing style of your Dawang Comics Studio is so strange.
Congratulate you on
suffering from the most tragic newcomer mistake.
You offended your colleague the moment you came to the studio.
You're done.
But I didn't do that purposely.
I apologized to him sincerely.
I can compensate him in any way.
You offended your colleague on the first day of your work.
What will you do in the future?
Be wise.
But I've really worked hard.
I spent the whole night on the manuscript.
In the workplace, you should not only work,
but also get along with your colleagues and integrate into the collective.
No one likes you if you only focus on your work.
It makes sense.
I won't talk about Wang Lei.
Xiaoyao is kind to everyone.
But the other two colleagues
don't seem to like me from the beginning.
Listen.
Then what can I do?
As the first post-90s public relations beauty in Shanghai,
I'll tell you a tip.
Gifts blind the eyes
and don't be angry with the person who in smiles.
In belief,
you should keep smiling and feed them regularly.
I'll try later.
You still work hard to update it?
I must insist on updating it.
Xiaomao is a new character,
also a lawyer.
Where did you get inspiration?
Lei Yuhao?
No.
It's a pure fiction.
An An,
I don't know where she is.
Is this Xu Lang?
How can you relate a comic character
with him?
So strange.
Look at his eyes.
He must be Xu Lang.
Are you out of your mind?
Let me see.
What are you doing?
I must figure it out.
From netizen A Wave,
though Miao Xiaohei is mean,
I just like him for no reason.
Is there such a handsome man in real life?
From netizen Shooting an Arrow on Horseback,
well, after watching Wang Xiaobai and Miao Xiaohei,
I want to date so much suddenly.
Please give me a boyfriend.
Miao Xiaohei...
What are you doing?
...has a prototype.
Well.
You must be crazy.
Do you know what they need?
They need story.
Story.
Why do people like you?
You're the Secret Room Creation Goddess of the Star Comics Award.
You have stories.
You want more people to watch your vertical comics,
right?
You need to have a story worth digging.
What? What's your truth about?
Let me warn you. Don't talk nonsense.
I've caused Xu Lang much trouble.
Don't add fuel to the flames, heard?
Make way.
I don't add fuel to the flames
but do you a favor.
What a handsome lawyer.
It's a pity if you aren't an online celebrity.
I'll make you a trending topic.
Are you Lawyer Xu?
Yes.
This way, please.
Thank you.
Mr. Yu, Lawyer Xu is coming.
- Lawyer Xu. - Mr. Yu.
Sit.
Thank you.
Lawyer Xu, what would you like to drink?
No, thanks.
OK.
You're finally willing to come and talk to me.
Don't say that.
I meet you here still for that matter.
You refused me.
I thought I should give up.
I can find another excellent lawyer
in the big Shanghai.
I don't give up
just because of
your reputation in the professional field.
More importantly,
we both have the initial intention
of building and maintaining a good sense of copyright.
Thank you, Mr. Yu.
Thank you for approving...
I know you already left Xin Cheng.
And I know Huang Xin framed you up.
It's a bad thing for you,
but it might be
a good opportunity for me.
I don't know why you,
who have focused on copyright for so many years,
choose to be a divorce lawyer finally.
It's not important for me.
I always believe that my judgment is correct,
so I sincerely invite you.
Extraordinary Studio really needs you.
What a small world.
Where are you going?
I'll go and pick up Guoguo.
Go by metro?
Don't go by metro.
I parked my car nearby.
Go. Let me give you a ride.
No need. I can go by metro.
Go. I can drive you there.
Go. Go.
Xu Lang,
after consideration,
I think you should accept Yu Feifan's invitation.
Since I put down something,
it's hard for me to pick it up.
Xu Lang, listen carefully.
You complicate something yourself.
When you were at university,
I didn't think you thought so much.
Do you think what
you should consider now?
Xu Guo,
right?
The tuition fee for her kindergarten every month is more than 10,000 yuan.
You need to give her the best and most expensive conditions
in every aspect.
Dad always
loves his daughter ardently, right?
What you should consider most now
is how to create a better living environment
for Xu Guo
under such conditions.
So I think
you should accept Yu Feifan's invitation.
Heard?
Turn round.
Why?
Won't, won't you go to the kindergarten?
Go to Happy Valley.
Her grandparents took her to play in Happy Valley.
It's said she didn't go to the training class.
You can reach the viaduct after turning left ahead.
What can you do with me?
The more scared, the more embarrassed.
If you love a wrong person,
just take it as a facetious joke.
Yu Doudou,
don't run about, heard?
Don't run about, do you know?
You've spent so much time
on vertical comics.
You even work on them
at weekend.
Even if we're in the pleasure ground, you still don't give it up.
The cores of my idea
are character and animal.
Mom.
Surely I should observe carefully.
Look at
that fat man.
Did you see?
Is he like a hippo?
The beauty beside him
must be his girlfriend.
Is she like a giraffe?
Baby, are you hot?
If you're hot, drink more water
to cool yourself down.
Grandpa, grandma,
can I play with water over there?
Don't go far.
Go. Go.
OK.
Be safe.
OK.
Be good.
Bye-bye.
Shen will come soon.
What about our son? Will he come?
What do you mean by that?
Tell me clearly.
It means he'll be here soon.
You actually don't understand this.
Great.
Is it?
You arranged a date
for them
without telling them.
After our son comes,
he'll blame you.
So what?
I don't care.
You know our son well.
He doesn't date a girl actively.
After Shen came back,
he hasn't planned
to restart with her at all.
Can I stand idly by?
I must help him.
Why do I take Guoguo here?
First, I want to check
how they get along.
Second,
I want to check whether Shen likes Guoguo.
Third,
I can also get something
from Shen.
Fourth...
Isn't there
the fourth point?
I'm already here. Where are you?
Xu Lang.
Why are you here?
They're over there.
I'm specially waiting for you here.
Did you come with them?
I specially asked your mom to tell you.
Yilin.
Xu Lang,
let's date.
I know what you think.
I've figured out
I won't give up you.
Son.
Mom, dad.
Have you seen Guoguo?
Guoguo?
- Wasn't she with you? - Guoguo.
Where is she?
Guoguo...
She is missing. I...
Well, what happened?
Talk slowly. Don't be anxious.
Wasn't she with you?
Yes. Yes.
She was with us a minute ago.
Later she said she wanted to play with water.
I talked with your mom for a while.
After turning round, we didn't find her.
Then go and look for her.
- Don't come to me. - Calm down. Calm down.
I'll go and inform the security office.
You look for her everywhere.
OK. OK. OK.
Look for her in the place where you were just now.
I'll go from this side.
We'll meet there.
OK.
We'll meet there.
My granddaughter Guoguo...
- Quickly. - Guoguo.
Guoguo.
Guoguo. Guoguo.
Guoguo.
Guo...
Guoguo.
Miss, did you see this girl?
Didn't you notice?
She is this tall.
She isn't tall.
Guoguo.
Hello, did you see this girl?
No. Sorry.
Thank you.
Guoguo.
Doudou.
You brat.
Come out.
Doudou.
Stop shouting.
Wait a moment. I am looking for Doudou.
Doudou.
I am also looking for Guoguo.
What a coincidence.
Is it such a coincidence?
What do you think?
Was your lovely, obedient, soft
and considerate sweetheart Guoguo,
who has never run about,
taken away by my son Doudou?
You look so scary.
Every time my son Doudou comes to the pleasure ground,
he likes to run about.
I'm used to it.
Even if you allow your son to play freely,
he is actually a child.
As his mom,
be conscientious, OK?
We are anxious.
What if the old have an accident due to anxiety?
Son.
Dad, mom,
there should be nothing serious.
Guoguo should play
with her son Doudou.
She isn't missing.
Don't worry.
Mrs. Xu, don't worry.
Guoguo isn't missing.
She is with my son Doudou.
My son Doudou
will take good care of her.
That's good.
I saw you again.
Please keep
away from my family, OK?
I'll go to look for them.
Mom, don't be anxious.
I want to see Guoguo. I feel so worried.
It doesn't matter. Let's go on looking.
An An went over there.
Let's go this way.
OK.
She went over there.
Calm down.
Don't quarrel with her.
Doudou.
Where are you?
Doudou.
Guoguo.
Did you see a little girl?
She is this tall.
Hello.
Excuse me, did you see this girl?
Guoguo.
No.
Thank you.
You didn't see.
Guoguo.
Well, did you find her?
I met An An just now.
Guoguo may play with Doudou,
but I don't know where they're.
Then go on looking.
Guoguo.
Where are you actually?
There are updated messages on your Moments.
Mine?
Yes.
They're watching a magic show at the theatre.
So annoying.
Doudou took away my cell phone.
It doesn't matter. I'll call Xu Lang.
Guoguo.
Hello.
We found them.
Where are they?
Haixing Theatre.
Haixing Theatre?
Send a location to me.
So amazing.
OK, thank our magician.
Welcome to Happy Valley today
to watch our magic show.
Next, I wonder
whether any of you
are willing to
perform micro magic with us.
Any of you who join us will obtain small gifts.
This kid.
Why are you here?
- Are you willing? - So naughty. -Dad.
Guoguo.
Here.
This friend.
Come on.
What's the matter?
Please stand on the stage.
Don't be shy.
Sorry. Sorry.
It's OK. It's OK.
Don't be shy.
Let's give a micro magic show.
Let's applaud to encourage them.
What are we doing?
Very good.
Magic show.
Kid, what does
your dad do?
He is a lawyer.
A lawyer. So amazing.
What about your mom?
She is a cartoonist.
Great.
Well, let's check
whether this loving couple
has any tacit understanding.
No. Excuse me.
In fact, we aren't...
Next I'll...
Don't be shy.
Well,
choose your favorite
poker suit.
Come on.
Which one do we write?
Heart Ace.
Thank you.
Then which one do we write?
One.
A, right?
Have you decided?
OK.
Show to the audience
which poker they chose.
Very good.
Next let's invite our magician
to perform magic.
OK.
Kids,
next I need you two
to help me find out that poker, OK?
OK. Very simple.
Please let me stop whenever you like.
OK.
Ready, go.
Stop.
Do you change?
No.
Take it up and check
whether it's that poker you just wrote.
Is it?
No.
Then it's your turn.
Help me find that poker.
OK.
Please let me stop whenever you like.
Ready, go.
Stop.
Is it this one?
No.
I see.
I need to add some power to my magic.
And my power
is your kiss.
Your kiss.
If you kiss each other,
the poker will turn to the one you just wrote.
Are you ready?
Come on.
If I stay with you,
there will be trouble in less than five minutes.
It's just the game of sucking a poker.
Didn't you play it in a bar?
No.
There is a poker between our mouths.
We won't kiss each other.
Don't be afraid.
Dad, I want to watch magic power.
Guoguo, be good.
I want.
- I want to watch magic power. - Guoguo.
Be good.
I want. I want.
Guoguo, be good.
I want.
Guoguo.
I want. I want.
Be good. Really.
I want. I want.
Quickly.
Don't let kids down.
I also don't want to kiss you.
Come on.
Guoguo.
Let's applaud them.
It turns to be Heart Ace.
So amazing.
Dad, do you really have magic power?
It's just a game.
Look.
That is my favorite Lawyer Miao.
Its author is An An.
What's that?
The comics I am following every week.
You know nothing
but play your games.
I recorded it.
I'll send it to the Lawyer Miao BBS later.
So amazing.
Kid, this poker is for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Let's applaud them.
Stop wiping your face.
You were just kissed once.
There isn't any trace.
No one knew the one who kissed you would be...
Stop saying.
OK.
Every debt has its debtor.
I'm just a witness.
I'm sure
I am on the same line with you all the time
and keep silent.
Why are you looking at me?
It's all your fault.
Why?
If you hadn't taken away Xu Lang's daughter,
there wouldn't have been the later matter.
What happened later?
Guoguo and I were both safe.
We still played a game.
What happened?
Well...
That kiss.
Do you forget?
You don't need to get angry.
You didn't suffer any loss.
Yu Doudou.
You...
An An,
have you thought to restart?
I am force to restart.
I mean emotionally,
have you thought to forget Yu Feifan and start a new relationship?
What are you talking about?
Xu Lang and I are just common friends.
Common friends.
I don't mean Xu Lang.
Doudou,
what are you doing?
Doudou.
Doudou, are you OK?
The prototype of Miao Xiaohei appeared.
He is really An An's boyfriend.
Does Yu Feifan become the history so fast?
A woman's mind is so changeable.
He is just Lawyer Xu Lang. Identification completed.
You even know him. So awesome.
I am a post-90s lawyer.
He is just Lawyer Xu Lang.
I can prove.
Well, I want to see the real person.
Search his working place. Over.
Mr. Yu.
What's wrong?
Sorry. There is something urgent.
It's about the film copyright
of your new book How to Keep Love.
What's wrong?
Under the influence of your divorce,
the film company put
they would delay
the plan of shooting How to Keep Love into a film without day.
At least when this matter
fades away.
I see.
And Gentleman Magazine...
I see.
Go on with your work.
Yingying.
Here. Come over now.
There's big news. Quickly.
The ex-wife of our boss.
She is kissing a man.
Is this Doudou?
Yes.
What are you doing?
Why don't you work?
All of you, close the web page.
Don't be lazy all day long.
Mr. Xu, your house is new.
I planned to buy it
to live myself,
so I had it decorated carefully.
It has been less than three years in total until now.
So the price in your mind must be high.
Without doubt, the higher, the better.
I find it's a large house.
As you know,
it's hard to sell a large house.
In a word, post it online at the price
I quoted at first.
If someone really wants to buy,
we can talk about it.
OK, Mr. Xu.
Wait for me.
I'll take a group of pretty photos
and post them on our soufang.com.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It's getting late.
My daughter should wake up later. I beg...
I...
I'll yell
if you come over.
A person. A window.
Dim light.
I'm waiting for
the daybreak silently.
Fish have been used to
relying on the sea.
The starry sky becomes so withered.
I will try to get used to your absence.
Let you venture alone.
I will try to accept everything I lost.
Spend this night with smile.
OK.
Why haven't I grown tall yet?
I just measured your height.
You can't grow so fat.
Guoguo, if you really grow so fast,
you'll reach
the ceiling soon.
Do you want to kiss me?
I'm waiting for
the daybreak silently.
Fish have been used to
relying on the sea.
OK.
Wow, I become taller.
I will try to get used to your absence.
Let you venture alone.
I will try to accept everything I lost.
Spend this night with smile.
I'll wait for you to show up one day.
No one says goodbye that day.
I will wait where I am
to see the rainbow dotted with the sky.
No matter how heavy a rain is, it will stop sooner or later.
Everyone, morning.
My friend brought back cherry blossom cakes from Japan.
You can have a taste.
Put over there.
Then I'll put here.
Tim.
My friend's friend runs a pet store.
She finally found a pet
that's exactly the same as Shook.
I want...
What did you say?
I mean...
Stop talking, OK?
Come on. Come on.
Well, you...
An An. An An.
Go to work.
Where is my manuscript?
I spent the whole night on it.
Why is it gone?
Something happened.
Terrible.
It will be submitted soon.
How can I explain to Dawang?
An An,
now we all design electronic versions which
should be stored at any time.
Why did you forget it?
It doesn't matter. Don't be anxious.
I'll go and check for you.
I stored it.
Why is it gone?
This new version of graphics software
is not stable
in the upgrade process.
Tim, come and check for her. It's your strength.
I can't.
Why?
You're an IT talent.
I can repair others' computers,
but I can't repair hers.
Tim.
Please.
I'm sorry for what I did.
Be broad-minded
and forgive me.
Don't apologize.
Even so, Shook can't come back to life.
Sorry.
Old aunt, you're so special.
You've been here for only two days, but there is general turmoil.
Your poor business ability
slows down our progress.
You even killed Shook.
Now you forgot to store your manuscript.
Can you let us work carefully?
Look at Wang Lei.
She is so thoughtful.
Old aunt?
Yes.
I think
all the women
at least an Olympic cycle older than me
are old aunts.
Wu Bai.
Xiaoyao, don't always help her.
Let's wait and see.
If she stays here,
she'll cause us trouble
like a time bomb sooner or later.
Well, what are you doing the whole morning?
If you can't hand in your homework
before the deadline,
you'll suffer.
Work now.
Xiaoyao,
there must be a fixed computer repairer
in our company
as there're so many computers.
No.
Dawang is very cautious
about her comics.
So she doesn't allow an outsider
to touch the computers of our studio at all.
She hired Tim
as he is a computer geek
and can solve various problems.
Then what can I do?
How can I restore my manuscript?
I think
Tim is still angry with you
and can't vent on his anger.
In fact, he is a kind person.
After all, it's you who
killed his treasured rat son.
So you still have
to apologize to him sincerely.
I swear, I want to make up for him,
but I don't know what to do.
I've known him for two days.
I don't know anything about Tim.
Tim likes to collect something.
He likes Harry Potter most.
He has collected every part of Harry Potter
printed first with Joanne Rowling's signature
except for...
The first part.
How do you know?
Although I'm not a Harry Potter fan,
my son is particularly fond of it.
So I know that
it's particularly hard to get Harry Potter I
printed first with the author's signature.
Yes.
So if you find it and give it to him as a gift,
he'll forgive you.
Really?
Sure.
It's possible for him to
greatly admire you by then.
I don't know whether I can find it.
I'll go and look for it.
I have a hunch that
An An will have a relationship this year.
Do you think
this is good news?
How to say?
I think
it comes at the right time,
but they don't seem
to get along with each other smoothly.
Considering the poor road condition,
it's not a good day to go out today.
Let's arrange it next time.
Yes.
They change so greatly.
But lately, I've doubted...
I won't talk to you. I have to hang up.
You can meet the men you love.
Why
can't I?
Listen.
I set myself a goal last month.
I must go on a date this month.
But what's the result?
This is the last day of this month.
I don't see any possible man,
let alone date.
You'd better change your way.
How can I change my way randomly?
I'm going to stick to it.
Miss, hello.
My God.
What's up?
I have to hang up.
Hello.
What, what
can I do for you?
Sorry.
It's for me?
Thank you.
What is this for?
It's really the same color as my dress.
What a coincidence.
We're so closely related.
The back of your dress has a slit.
Can I help you?
Sorry.
Maybe the shopping cart I pushed hit you carelessly,
so it hooked your dress.
It, it doesn't matter.
I'll treat you to dinner
as an apology, OK?
OK.
I was kissed by Xu Lang.
Should I do a facial cleanup?
It was really sudden.
I was not ready for it at all.
Does he fall in love with me?
He pretended to fall to kiss me, right?
I am so pretty.
Charming girl,
hide your charm now.
