Episode 7
Molly's 10th anniversary limited edition?
I want it.
Hubby.
Do you know what day it is today?
What day?
Today is the 987th daysary of our wedding.
You count it every day?
So?
Shouldn't you do something?
Only pig farmers record the number of days for safe production.
What kind of husband is this?
Jay Chou was born in January too.
Why is he so romantic?
What do you want?
I don't want anything.
Then do me a favor.
Take it as a celebration.
What kind of celebration?
My 987th day of safely rearing a pig.
Do a good job later...
and I'll give you a treat tonight.
Qiao Yi, I'll wait for you at the school gate.
Okay.
Right. I bought a cute bell for Lao Ye a few days ago,
but I left it at home.
You can give it to Lao Ye yourself.
After the exam,
I'll give it to him personally on the first day of the holiday.
Okay.
The school holiday starts today, right?
Why are you up so early?
I'll go and make...
my special cake for you!
The best cake in the world! Okay?
Mom.
Aren't you meeting Aunt Chen?
Don't worry about me.
That's in the afternoon.
It's still so early.
Just wait.
Today's so sunny.
Son.
Why don't we take Lao Ye to the park?
No.
I want to do my homework later.
Son.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Mom.
I want to read the original version of "Walden" in English.
Can you buy it for me?
But, that bookstore...
only opens in the morning.
Then I'll have to get going.
Looks like...
I can't have lunch and dinner with you today.
I'm so sorry.
My poor son.
It'll be too late if you don't depart now.
Off I go.
See you.
Wake up!
Let me sleep.
Enough sleep. You're going to be late.
It's holiday.
We've tuition on Saturday.
Remember?
What time is it now?
Idiot.
Hey yeah!
Rising like the wind and water!
The virtuous one is invincible!
Who is it?
Son, I forgot my key.
Hurry up. It's lunchtime soon.
Kids.
Do you know the story behind this wine?
This is...
a very, very old story.
Back then, in the land of the Chinese,
the Japanese terrorized...
and harmed the folks!
They committed all sorts of crimes!
Your grandfather...
which is my father,
went to a tavern to drink one day...
and ran into the Japanese...
harassing a lady!
Your grandfather immediately got up from his seat...
and said to the waiter who was pouring wine for him,
"Take your time to pour the wine."
"I will be right back."
It happened so quickly that...
when your grandfather came back,
the wine was still warm.
These red dots on this bottle...
are blood from those Japanese.
Dad.
These red dots...
look more like paint.
What nonsense are you saying?
You'd better watch your word...
or I'll take your life!
What's your problem?
Well, you're the older brother.
Dad.
Since this is such a good wine,
let's drink it this New Year.
That's a good suggestion.
But,
I think we should choose an important occasion.
Why not...
we wait until Qiao Yi's wedding?
Oh no.
We'll never get to drink it.
Qiao Yi wants to get married already?
Dad.
Is your birthday around the corner?
You're right.
That's such a meaningful day.
We need a banquet.
We need 70-80 tables at least.
A grand celebration.
Look. Xiao Ying Ying.
I'm turning 40 years old.
Why don't we hold a proper celebration this time?
How many times have I told you?
Don't call me that.
It's disgusting.
Hello.
Zhao, you talk.
Can't you see I'm busy?
You talk.
Yes?
No. I said no.
Also,
please stop calling us.
What are you looking at?
Eat!
Good morning.
Aren't you studying in the UK?
Why are you back?
I've made up my mind.
From now on, I'll have a one-month meeting...
with my future husband every year.
Future husband?
Yes.
After we graduate in the UK,
you can propose to me.
I've even bought the diamond ring for that.
The timing is up to you.
But, you must tell me in advance.
I don't like unplanned stuffs.
I don't like unplanned stuffs either.
What made you think that I'll marry you?
You don't remember?
We're engaged since birth.
I don't remember.
My future daughter-in-law.
This is my special cake.
I made it just for you.
Does it smell good?
Wake your dad up.
Dad's back?
He came home very late last night.
So, I didn't wake you up.
I'll go over tonight.
I can't leave now.
I'll inform you when I depart.
Mo Mo.
Dad, why did you sleep in your study again?
I always read at night.
I don't want to disturb your mom.
Breakfast's ready?
Come and eat!
Let's go.
You're here, Xiao Mei.
Uncle.
When did you return from the UK?
I just came back.
So, have you gotten used to life over there?
I'm doing fine.
Send my regards to your dad.
-Let's eat. -Alright.
Eat.
Good morning.
It's a new semester and a new beginning.
Come back from your New Year slack.
Pull yourselves together!
Because you're now...
in the second half of Grade 10!
Go!
Victory!
Victory.
What is this?
Are you guys deaf or what?
Go.
Victory.
Yan Mo.
Are you in bad mood?
How could I forget?
Lao Ye.
Look at me, Lao Ye.
Lao Ye.
Morning.
Why are you still here?
Aunt Lin made me stay.
Frank.
Take me to your school.
Go back to the UK if you want to go to school.
I just want to see the difference...
between your school and my school in the UK.
This is the uniform?
It's so ugly.
I don't like people touching my things.
I know you're a clean freak.
Take it back.
I know I'm forgetful.
Sorry. Don't be mad at me.
Can you forgive me?
I don't care.
But, Lao Ye is angry.
I know. I will...
pay a visit and apologize tomorrow.
Mo Mo.
Qiao Yi.
You're sick again?
You're always the one having a cold in this class.
Mo Mo.
I'm planning to stay at your place tonight.
I want to eat the cake my sister makes.
Don't come to my house within these few days.
We don't have room.
Why? Do you have a guest?
The daughter of my mom's friend.
Which vixen is it?
Zhao Qiao Yi!
Someone's looking for you!
Coming.
So, which vixen is it?
Qiao Yi.
How are you and your brother?
We're fine.
What about your mom?
She... She's fine too.
During New Year,
I called home.
Your mom is still so short-tempered.
Tell Guan Chao...
I want to eat with the two of you this Saturday.
We... We've an exam next week.
I think we'll be busy.
I don't think we've time.
I'm going back.
What's the hurry?
The bell hasn't rung yet.
I haven't turned in my homework.
I'm going back.
I'm moving abroad.
Maybe...
we won't get to see each other anymore.
I know that Guan Chao is just like your mom.
Please tell him that...
I want to see him this Saturday.
No need for that.
While I talk to you nicely,
please get lost immediately.
Zhao Guan Chao.
What's with your attitude?
I'm your father. Your family name is Zhao.
It's Zhao Su Ying's Zhao...
and not Zhao Lei's Zhao!
Since the day you abandoned us,
your son died.
If a person who doesn't like to study...
suddenly becomes studious,
isn't it strange?
If...
a person who has been mean to you...
suddenly treats you very well,
isn't it strange?
Of course.
What happened between you and Da Xiong this time?
Nothing happened.
But, that's the problem.
He doesn't answer my phone calls.
I sent him 10 messages and he only replied once.
He claimed to be busy studying.
Oh please.
Why would a guy with poor grades like him...
be busy studying?
Maybe...
you should talk to him in person.
That's if I can see him in person.
I feel like he's avoiding me.
But, why is he avoiding me?
I still think you need to meet up with him...
and ask him yourself.
Of course I will ask.
I hate ambiguous feelings.
You're still worried about your dad...
I mean, your biological father?
Actually,
I understand Guan Chao's feeling.
After all, that man did that to you all.
It's no wonder he holds a grudge.
But, whether or not you should meet him,
you need to think carefully before you decide.
Maybe it's really the last meeting.
Like my dad.
He left us too soon.
I don't quite remember his face anymore.
Qiao Yi, let's go have some milk tea.
I'm busy today. Let's go tomorrow.
Sister.
Da Chuan, where were you the entire school holiday?
My dad had a business trip and he insisted to bring me along.
Come here quickly.
Cakes fresh from the oven.
-I miss this so much. -Really?
It might look ugly,
but it's really nutritious.
Delicious.
By the way,
I left a shirt here. Please find it for me.
Your sportswear?
I've washed it for you. Give me a minute.
Where's Xiao Mo?
He went to the library.
Is it good?
Your cake is always the best.
Thanks for the compliment.
By the way,
I heard from Mo Mo that...
we've a guest here.
Who is it?
Xiao Mei.
She's Aunt Ji's daughter.
The one you fought with when you guys were kids.
No idea.
I fought with too many people.
I need to go now.
Slowly.
Take the cake back for your dad.
My dad doesn't like savoury cakes.
Savoury?
I used the wrong one again.
What is it?
Dad forgot to clean up...
the kitchen waste in the basin again.
Mom's lecturing him.
So, I came here to hide.
Why my room and not your own room?
You've something to say?
No.
Really?
Yes.
Brother.
Are you sure you don't want to go?
Go where?
Go see him.
He's moving abroad.
This might be the last time we see him.
I'll never forgive him...
for what he did to you.
The last time I'll see him...
is when he's lying in a coffin.
I knew all along that...
Guan Chao hated Zhao Lei a lot.
But, I had no idea that...
he hated Zhao Lei so much...
because of me.
Girl, aren't you pretty?
You're fair too.
-You're a pretty girl. -That's a nice bag.
Not bad. What?
Do you want to have fun with us tonight?
Don't be so shy, girl.
-Don't be shy. -Don't be shy.
-What? -What are you guys doing?
What do you want?
Get lost!
Cover up next time.
Stop right there!
Hello, uncle.
-You still remember me? -Yes.
We met in the police station.
You're Qiao Yi's dad.
Don't act like we're friends.
Tell me.
Why did you cross the road on a red light?
But, there isn't any car on the road.
You're taking chances!
Look at you youngsters.
Haven't you heard of this saying?
"A child who steals a needle will grow up to steal gold".
If I let you off the hook today,
you'll commit treason tomorrow.
It's not that serious, uncle.
I've the say here.
From today onwards,
you'll be on watch here.
You've to come every day.
Me?
I'm not a police.
Of course you're not a police.
But, you're a member of the society.
All of us...
are the defenders of social order.
We're all obligated...
to make this world a better place.
Think about it.
If every one of us...
contributes...
Come back.
Okay, uncle.
I'll do as you say.
That's the right attitude.
Come. Put this on.
Alright.
From today onwards,
you're the people's spare police.
Be dutiful!
Yes, sir!
-Stupid brat. -Goodbye, uncle!
Can't you see it's a red light?
Go back!
Go!
Stop!
I'm going out.
I won't be back for dinner.
Where are you going?
I'm meeting my old classmates.
Okay. Bye.
-Come back early. -Okay.
He sleeps in his study each time he comes home.
He's always secretly talking over the phone.
He avoids eye contact and appears restless.
Something must be wrong.
Stop!
Wait for the green light!
Mo Mo.
You've stood beside me for 10 minutes...
without saying a word.
That's really creepy.
Da Chuan.
Can you do me a favor?
What?
Stalk someone for me.
Stalk?
Who is it?
What's going on?
It's green light! Go!
Is something wrong with your brother lately?
No. What's the matter?
Today,
he called again.
What did he say?
The same thing about meeting you two over a meal.
He said he's missing you both.
He asked me to persuade the two of you.
What do you think?
Both of you are old enough.
You can decide on your own.
I just want the two of you...
to be happy.
Don't...
bear too much hatred in your heart.
It's not good for you.
Do you still hate him?
It's been too long.
I forgot.
Any nice new reads?
This one.
This is...
the novel about time travel...
-you told me about? -Yes.
The hero is super charming.
But the ending is stupid.
If I were the author,
I would have started foreshadowing since Chapter 8.
Come.
Since you love novels so much,
why don't you write your own?
If you write a novel,
I'll be your first reader.
Really?
It's you again!
Stop right there!
The owner has no idea at all which books will sell better!
I...
I'm just trying to help him.
He's gone.
Where are you?
Okay. I see you.
Sweetheart, I need to go.
All my life,
being alone is what I do the most.
So, I've enough patience...
to track and wait.
Yan Mo!
What are you doing here?
Here's the blueberry shortcake you want to take away.
Thanks.
My mom is allergic to blueberry.
That person is...
My dad.
You're stalking your dad?
That's...
Don't tell me it's because of...
an extramarital affair.
I'm just suspecting. There's no evidence yet.
But, even with a disguise, you'll still get discovered easily.
Are you friends with my brother?
But, you top students...
must have a common language, right?
I've a bold suggestion.
I'll investigate for you...
and you'll help me convince Guan Chao...
to dine with someone this Saturday.
Dine with who?
My biological father.
Are you sure...
it won't make things worse?
You went as far as to put on fake moustache.
Can it be worse than this?
Let's have a pleasant cooperation.
Honestly,
you don't look in this pair of glasses.
Why don't you try metal frames next time?
Son.
Did you see my bag of folders?
It's made of kraft paper.
No.
I thought I put it here.
That's odd.
I won't be back for dinner.
He departed.
Roger.
Let's go.
-Follow that car. -Okay.
Follow that woman.
Ms. Cheng, we've been following her for 2 days.
If the chairman learns that you're still here,
he'll surely get mad.
This is none of your business. Follow the car.
Why are you stopping? Move.
Do you know that you were about to run a red light?
Who are you? A police?
Even though I'm not a police,
I'm a member of the society.
We're all obligated to...
maintain the order of the society.
We're all responsible to...
turn our society into a better place.
If you run a red light today,
you'll commit treason tomorrow.
Jesus.
Move.
You can't go!
Are you crazy?
Insulting the people's police...
will get you fined and detained!
You're not a police!
I am! A spare one!
You're here.
Are you alright?
Are you tired?
I'm okay.
Here's the menu.
Okay.
Waiter.
Order please.
Any local cuisine?
No.
Go home if you want local cuisine.
My dear, this is a western restaurant.
You don't plan to tell her yet?
Let's wait a bit.
It's been so long.
He can't accept it still?
I'll have a French beef steak.
And grilled lamb steak.
How do you want your lamb?
Medium.
Give me a salad as well.
Three is enough, right?
It's enough.
Sometimes, two is just right.
Three is too much.
I'll place your order right away.
How are you lately?
I'm fine.
It's just that I've been missing you.
And you're so busy lately.
It's been half an hour.
You're not a police.
This is fraud.
What's your name? I'm going to sue you.
I'm the one and only...
Fei Da Chuan.
I'm warning you.
Keep your mouth shut.
Hello.
Dad.
I'm about to go to bed.
What? You're coming to the UK the day after tomorrow?
Please don't. I'm really busy.
If you come, you'll distract me.
We've arrived at Nanchuan Museum.
Please alight from the back door.
No. I'm listening to the radio.
I listen to the radio every day before I sleep.
Please move inwards! I'm talking to you, girl!
Stop lying to your dad!
Are you sick?
Dad!
Let me explain! I...
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'll go back immediately.
Waiter.
We've 2 more dishes.
Please hurry up.
Okay. I'll check.
Thank you.
The salad for Table No. 5!
Let me tell you something.
A few days ago, I ran into your son in a mall.
But, he didn't see me.
Even though I walked away immediately,
it still felt awkward.
I think we shouldn't wait any longer.
Dad!
Xu Xu.
-Dad. Mom. -Son.
Sit down.
So, did you miss daddy?
Come. Give me a kiss.
Xu Xu.
Tell daddy...
if you've been a good boy.
Why didn't you reply my text yesterday?
I got home very late.
My cellphone ran out of battery.
Did you tail him?
Where did he go?
