Episode 27
-Hello. -Sweetheart.
Are you still in bed?
What time is it already?
I got up too early today.
So,
did something happen between you and Zhou Zhao again?
Can we not talk about that?
He calls me every day.
He keeps asking me out for dinner or movie.
He also sends me flowers and gifts.
If I don't answer his phone calls, he'll come straight to my house.
I don't get it at all.
I've only met him a few times.
Which part of me does he like?
You're the prettiest girl in the universe.
Do you still need a reason?
True.
I'm so attractive.
I'm a charming elf.
But, let me tell you this.
If you're not interested in him,
you should make it clear quickly.
Don't leave him hanging.
I need to find an opportunity to talk to him.
My food is here. I'm hanging up. Bye.
You came again.
I thought of you when I saw this bouquet.
Thank you.
Have you eaten?
I'll treat you to lunch.
Okay.
Wait for me downstairs.
Zhou Zhao.
Wu Yi.
Hop on.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
How's your new book?
I had another dream.
I dreamt of myself in outer space.
Why are you laughing?
What's so funny?
Not bad at all.
I think I can write a better book.
He's obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Are you okay with BBQ platter?
We can have some wine.
Do you prefer fruit wine or rice wine?
I don't drink alcohol.
I'll have beef bibimbap.
Thank you.
Then I'll have this.
Thank you.
This is the first time you treat me to a meal.
I'll have to eat more.
Help yourself.
This girl...
looks so much prettier when she smiles.
Right.
My company has a team building activity this Saturday.
I'd like to invite you to join us.
Zhou Zhao.
I asked you out for lunch today...
because I want to make it clear to you that...
I can't get into a relationship with you.
I'm in love with someone...
and it's been many years.
I tried to forget him.
I really did my best.
But I still can't do it.
It's okay.
I don't mind.
We've only known each other for such a short period of time.
You don't really know me either.
I believe...
if you give me adequate time,
you'll change your mind.
Besides, we've many common interests.
We both like JK Rowling...
and Sirius Black.
Why do they have so many topics?
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Where's the bathroom?
It hurts.
Isn't it too late to say that now?
Why didn't you pay attention?
You were just staring at him.
Is he that good-looking?
I wasn't staring at him. Are you blind?
I was just distracted by my problems.
Problems? I'm the one that has problems!
I'm the one that got hurt! What's your problem?
Shut up.
It hurts.
Isn't it too late to say that now?
You were just staring at him.
I wasn't staring at him!
Zhao Guan Chao, what's your problem?
What's your problem?
You did stare at him!
I did not!
Shut up!
It hurts.
Zhao Guan Chao, are you hurting me on purpose?
Serves you right.
Why did you have to order beef bibimbap?
Is it that delicious?
You're just a normal friend.
Why are you meddling in my business?
Who's your normal friend?
Normal friends don't exist in my world!
If you don't want to be friends with me, so be it!
I don't need you either!
You really don't know why I was there in the restaurant?
You were just hungry!
Hungry?
I'm done with you!
I can't believe you write romance novels for a living!
Why are you so dense?
Can't you tell that I tailed you?
When I saw you with another man,
I got angry!
When I saw you getting hurt, I was so worried and upset!
When I don't see you, I feel sick!
Hao Wu Yi, are you stupid?
Can't you tell that I love you?
You're the stupid one!
What right do you have to tail me?
What right do you have to feel angry?
What right do you have to...
You scoundrel!
Don't you know that I've waited for this for a long time?
Don't you know that I've loved you for a long time?
Wu Yi, come back.
Okay.
Chief Cheng, here's the contract you need.
Did we receive anything for me today?
I don't think so.
I can't be so unlucky.
Why can't I make money?
Good luck.
Let me make money.
Bad luck.
Go away.
Good luck.
This can't be true. Again.
-Hello? -Brother Chuan.
-Bad news. -Stop overreacting.
What happened?
I just got a call from Factory Director Wang.
The factory's warehouse caught a fire.
The fire has been put out.
But, some wristbands were damaged.
What do we do? We need to deliver them next week.
Factory Director Wang said...
he'll take full responsibility for all losses.
He'll take responsibility?
Like how?
The 4,000 pieces were pre-sold!
Who is going to make up for that?
Factory Director Wang told me...
he can make up for the hundreds of damaged wristbands on time.
-But... -But what?
But, we don't have enough raw material for the sensor chip.
Look. Factory Director Wang and I...
are looking for replacement material now.
You'd better make sure you can do it.
We need to deliver the wristbands next Monday.
If you can't settle it,
I'll hold you responsible for this.
Don't worry, Brother Chuan.
I'll find ways to make up for the damaged wristbands.
Go and get it done.
I'll think of something too.
Surprise!
Mom, why are you here?
Stupid brat.
I came to see you.
Don't you miss me?
How long has it been since we last met?
You always say you're busy.
Where's Qiao Yi?
Qiao Yi.
What's going on?
You're not staying with Qiao Yi?
Da Chuan said he booked...
a honeymoon suite for the two of you.
Mom.
I'm here on a business trip.
You're on a business trip and you brought your girlfriend?
This is abuse of authority.
You're clever now, young man.
Since you came all the way here, you must have something to say.
Speak.
I...
I'm getting married.
His name is Eric.
He's British Chinese...
and a university lecturer.
We...
I also want to...
move to the UK with him.
Good. Congratulations.
Really?
Son.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
You don't have to feel sorry.
I'm glad that you're happy.
Don't worry about me.
Really?
Mom.
I've grown up.
Thank you, my son.
Thank you so much.
I bet he came here with you.
Why are you so clever?
You want him to meet me over dinner.
Let's have dinner together.
Get Qiao Yi to join us too.
Okay.
Brother Chuan. Look.
This is a wristband made with the new sensor chip material.
Now look at this one.
Can you tell the difference?
No.
I just talked to Factor Director Wang over the phone.
He said we're short of time...
and can't use the material from before.
So, we found a new material to replace it.
What's the difference between these two?
The new material is the most extensively used material...
in sensor chip manufacturing today.
The previous material...
is its upgraded version.
As for the difference,
it's just the price.
We're short of time and material now.
If I use this...
to replace this,
do you think it's okay?
Actually, I already talked to Chief Yan about this.
I told him that there isn't much difference...
and that the original material is costlier...
while this material is cheaper.
But, Chief Yan rejected my suggestion.
Alright. I got it. You can go back now.
Alright.
So, we're giving away 2,000 wristbands for nothing?
What are you going to do about this loss?
If the product doesn't make money for us,
how do we make money?
I told you before that...
if a company doesn't make profits,
even the best reputation can't save it.
Where were you?
I went to buy some stuffs.
Have you met your mom's fiance?
No.
Then you should...
be friendly later.
Show some sincerity, okay?
How do I look friendly?
Just... Just smile more.
Smile.
Give me a smile.
Forget it.
This is Eric.
This is my son Xiao Mo and his girlfriend Qiao Yi.
Come. Sit here.
Thank you.
Sit down.
Nice to meet you.
-Yan Mo. -Eric.
This is for you.
For me?
Thank you.
Back then, I went to Yunnan for a field study...
and fell in love with their Pu'er tea.
I'm glad that you like it.
When I got there, I was surprised to see that...
almost all my friends and teachers were here.
That's when I found out that...
Eric called them one by one...
and invited them to Nanchuan...
just to give me a surprise.
He was even filming there the entire time.
I told you that...
I don't need a ceremony for my farewell stage.
All I needed was you.
Based on my experience, whenever you say no,
you mean yes.
That's not true.
By the way,
Eric is good at cooking fish.
I'll get him to cook it for you someday.
This fish is delicious too.
Here you go, Yan Mo.
Come.
Try some.
It's quite good. Here you go.
Thank you.
Fei Da Chuan, why are you here again?
You're back.
Why were you sleeping like a pig here?
You ate it?
Is it good?
The taste is awful.
It's okay. I'll master it soon.
Then...
I'll go back.
By the way,
I live nearby now.
Just tell me if you need help.
I... I'm going back.
Wait.
Let's go together.
I just ate this awful food.
I need to go for a walk to digest it.
I'm curious about one thing.
Why do women go to the bathroom in a group?
Because in the process of human evolution,
women were gatherers for a long period of time.
Gathering in a group is much more efficient.
Then why do men smoke in a group?
That's simple.
Because there's always one who doesn't bring his own cigarettes.
Your mother was right.
You've a kind of...
cold sense of humor.
My mom...
is like a child.
She doesn't how to take care of herself.
Please be more accommodating.
Never let her cook...
or accidents will happen.
The food will taste bad too.
And most importantly,
she likes to be the center of attention.
Never ever...
neglect her feelings.
I'll be counting on you.
The food I made today tasted awful?
It's not good at all.
It's okay. I'll do it right next time.
Why do you like me?
I just like you.
There must be a reason.
I don't know the reason either.
I just like you.
Why did you kick me?
If someone asks you the same question again,
just tell her, "It's because you're pretty."
Why?
I've made up my mind anyway.
You're the only girl I'll like.
What kind of guy do you like?
I like a guy that can beat me.
Should we have a match?
What match?
Yan Mo.
You seem to like Eric very much.
You prepared a present for him...
and even talked to him a lot.
On top of that,
you ate the food he gave you.
What's wrong?
I'm a little tired.
I need to get some sleep.
Are you sure you want to play this with me?
Yes. I've never lost.
You're definitely going to lose today.
In just 4 rallies, you'll be my girlfriend.
Look at that!
You...
Yes!
Again.
Hello.
When are you coming back?
Are you missing me?
I miss you all day and night.
So, what do you want?
I just want to show my little sister some concern.
How caring of you.
Is Yan Mo with you?
Are you sharing a room with that stupid brat?
He's next door.
That's more like it.
Remember to lock your door and windows before you go to bed.
Zhao Guan Chao, you're worrying unnecessarily.
But, let me tell you something.
His mom is remarrying.
We had dinner with his future stepdad yesterday.
And?
Surprisingly, he likes his stepdad.
He even prepared a present for him.
On top of that,
he ate the food his stepdad gave him.
Of course.
What do you mean by that?
You should...
pay more attention to your man.
What's the matter?
The day mom decided to marry Tian,
I called him dad right away.
Yes. That's why I wondered why...
you were perfectly okay with it.
I wasn't.
But, I didn't dare to show it.
I had to express my goodwill and please him,
so that he would treat mom well.
Yan Mo is feeling the same way now.
You must be kidding me.
Yan Mo isn't a guy that'll please someone.
A sensible child...
wasn't born sensible.
Surprise.
Can you forget what you just saw?
Do I look really ugly now?
I realized that only you can crack me up.
I just thought of a strange question.
How long do you think you can live?
Longer than you.
Are you planning to find...
a pretty college girl after I die?
The one left behind will be sad and miserable.
I can't bear to let you suffer.
Will you feel sad for your parents?
Back then,
they hid their divorce from you.
Did they later on talk to you about it?
We didn't talk about it.
Even if we did, they wouldn't get back together.
Every parent...
has their right to pursue their own happiness.
They shouldn't be tied down by me.
I've come round to this.
Did you tell them about...
how upset you were at that time?
The first day I went to elementary school,
after school,
we kids took a group picture.
The other kids all fought to be on the first row.
Because their parents were taking pictures for them in front.
But I wasn't.
Because I knew that my parents weren't there.
My dad and mom...
are outstanding people in their own fields of expertise.
They gave me a good environment.
After I started working,
I started understanding them more and more.
They chose to cast me aside...
because they had no choice.
That's why I don't think they're being unfair to me.
It's just that when I occasionally recall that day,
truth to be told, at that moment,
I wanted to be a child standing on the first row too.
Did Lao Ye know?
I don't think he knew. I didn't tell him.
I just noticed that...
the bathtub in our room...
is really nice.
It's heated and comes with a showerhead.
Let's try it later.
Okay.
I'll turn on the tap. You can take a dip first.
That's what you meant?
Then I'll pass. You can take a dip yourself.
What?
That's not what I meant.
I...
I spent the entire afternoon decorating this room.
I wanted to surprise you.
But I messed up.
I like this.
Wait.
This is a honeymoon suite.
Let's come again when we're on honeymoon.
Son.
Don't overwork yourself, okay?
Alright.
Please look after him for me.
Come and visit us in the UK when you're free.
Come and visit us in the UK with Qiao Yi.
Okay.
By the way, I love the Pu'er tea you gave me.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Watch it when you get back.
The lift is here.
Ms. Lin Shu.
Are you happy today?
Of course!
Thank you, Eric.
Thank you for the surprise.
So, how does it feel to bid farewell to the stage?
I still feel happy.
Now, I'm free to...
eat cakes and spicy hot pot!
Do you have any regrets in your career?
No.
Really?
Really.
Actually,
all my life,
my biggest regret is Xiao Mo.
Since he was a kid,
I spent too little time with him.
Back then, I was always away for performances.
By the time I got home, it was always late night.
But, he was already asleep.
I didn't want to wake him up.
And the next day,
I'd be catching an early flight.
He didn't even know that I was back.
Whenever I looked at him,
I always wondered...
if I was in his dream.
I'm so sorry.
Will you forget me?
Can you forgive me?
Stop recording.
Stop.
Where are you taking me?
We'll be there in a while.
Close your eyes. Don't look.
This is where I confessed to you for the first time.
This is where you lied to me for the first time.
I'm a vengeful person.
I'm sorry. Let's go to another place.
I was just kidding.
Did you bring another girl to this place?
Of course...
not.
Let's take a picture.
Okay.
Let's make a heart shape.
