River Flows to You
Episode 1
Thank you, Boss.
You still know to come back? Why don't you keep fooling around outside?
What do you mean by not coming home at night?
Do you think you can fly into the sky with your strong winds?
If you are so capable, why don't you just stay outside and not come back!
Are you deaf or just playing stupid?
Can't you hear me talking?
Can't you lower your voice a little?
The whole valley can all hear your high pitched voice talking.
Do you still have any sense of shame?
If you still have any sense of shame, you won't stay outside for a whole night!
I'll go cook.
Mingming! Hurry up. Breakfast is ready.
I am coming!
Good morning, Mom.
Good morning.
Don't go in. It's hot inside.
Quickly sit down. Let me do it. Hurry up and sit down.
Thank you, Mom.
Eat while it's still warm.
How come the food you made are so delicious, Mom?
Thank god you didn't become a chef. If you had become a chef,
those 5-stars chefs would be out of business.
This chef is not going anywhere. I'll just stay home and
provide special cooking service for you and your dad.
Where is my father?
He's been so busy recently that he has no time to eat breakfast.
But he can make a lot of money after these two deals are closed.
My mom has the best insight.
You managed to pick up Dad, a good stock, twenty years ago.
Marrying to your dad is my success for the first half of my life.
Giving birth to you is my victory in the next half of my life. Yeah!
You have such good insight. It makes you a winner of life.
Auntie Wan and Auntie Yan in the alley envy me a lot.
They said that they can tell I was destined to be wealthy and happy by looking at my hands.
But I know the important things. Destiny is decided by heaven.
Whether you can grab it or not depends on yourself.
Come on, eat more.
Mom, I'm full. I think I have too much nutrition.
Nonsense. You are 180cm so the standard weight is 75 kg. You are not up to the standard yet!
Do you want to eat breakfast or not?
Not eating is it?
Are you not eating?
Why do you care if I eat or not?
If you don't want to eat, tell me sooner next time so I don't need to spend all the effort to make all these.
You worked hard?
Do you think making breakfast is hard?
Do you think you are from a rich family or a powerful family?
Throwing the cup with such strength could easily break it.
If you break it, we have no money to buy new ones.
Mom, I am going.
Mingming! Bring along a bottle of milk. Here.
Talking to me about money? Who do you think you are to talk to me about money?
Do you know how much money I wasted to raise you?
I am going to school. Remember to eat the food later.
Look at the mother-daughter duel across the street. They fight all day long and disturb everyone else.
It's so annoying! Luckily, we will be moving soon.
This environment is too bad to live in.
That's more like it.
Mom, don't you like doing housework while watching TV series?
You can treat this natural life noise like the background voices of TV. Don't think about it too much.
How can that be the same? Watching TV – that is enjoyment.
That is suffering.
Last night was a scene of turmoil all night.
And this morning, they were fighting again! It's so unlucky.
Mom, I know that you are pretty. But why do you bother yourself with so many things?
Bothering yourself makes you angry, and being angry will give you wrinkles, which will harm your beauty.
I am not angry. There is no point in being angry with them.
I am heading off, Mom.
Mingming, don't think that I speak too much.
Dragons give birth to dragons and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. Mice can only give birth to hole diggers.
People who drink bottled water are different from people who drink tap water.
Remember, don't hang out with them in the future, okay?
I grew up by drinking milk. I have to hurry up and go. I am running late.
Mingming! Be careful on your way there!
You must walk slowly, okay? Goodbye.
I don't know from when since my life changed.
Is it when I put on the red scarf in the second year of elementary school?
Or is it the dawn when my dad left the alley dragging his luggage?
Or is it when Lin Huafeng opened a bottle of beer and drank herself drunk?
I can't tell. Everything is changing, yet nothing is changing.
Everyone seems to be working hard to live.
But is it that I am good enough or strong enough?
Life would be more gentle to you.
If you don't come back tonight, don't come back at all.
Sooner or later, I'll move out.
What are you talking about being all sarcastic?
Keep being pretentious! If you are so capable, why don't you die outside?
Here. Old rules.
I don't want to drink it today.
Where did you go and what did you do last night?
Qi Ming, you ate breakfast?
Auntie, I did.
Qi Ming, I heard that you've been elected the president of students' union.
That's right!
Wow! No wonder!
Our daughter has always thought of you as her idol.
If you have time, come over to my house.
Encourage her and fulfill her dreams.
Your daughter is so smart, Auntie Lin.
I don't need to encourage her because she's smart and she studies, so she'll definitely be fine on her exam.
Wow! Look, look, look.
Our Qi Ming is such a good speaker!
When my daughter grows up, if she has someone half as good as you,
I'll be so happy.
She'll definitely be okay. We're going to school now, Auntie Lin.
You two go.
Uncle Li!
Good morning, Qi Ming!
Uncle Li, your lily magnolia looks really good.
It's still so lush even in autumn.
That's all because of the organic fertilizer you sent me.
Hey, Uncle Li! Be careful of this bucket!
I'll give you one after there are seedlings.
Okay!
- Then, Uncle Li, we're going to school now, okay? - Okay.
Goodbye, Uncle Li. Bye-bye.
Goodbye, Uncle Li.
- Isn't this Qi Ming? - Auntie Wan.
You're wearing just a shirt in autumn. Aren't you cold?
I'm alright. I'm not cold.
Young people really are different. You're so healthy.
- Here, let Auntie– - Auntie Wan! Your steamed buns...
I waited in the queue for more than one hour at Wangjiasha to buy these buns!
I originally wanted you to eat one.
You should go back, Auntie Wan. We're going to school now.
We are going to school. Goodbye!
Auntie Wan, goodbye.
My meat buns...
Are you tired pretending to be such a good person for such a long time?
I'm not tired at all!
Pretending to be a good person can fulfill your vanity so much?
I want to!
How come I don't think so?
What did you mean when you smiled so awkwardly just then?
Hearing you makes my heart bleed.
If you don't like it, just stop.
And you pretend to be having fun
and really enjoy it.
First, I don't feel awkward.
Second, if I was like you,
going around annoying people, you're cool?
I want to!
Let me ask you a serious question.
Speak!
If you apply to live on campus, what steps do you need to take?
Do you know?
Attention people welcoming tourists.
Flight A9774 has arrived.
Tang Xiaomi is back in China!
- Are you having fun? - It's me.
Again.
Are you having fun?
Yes, it's really fun.
How did you know my flight and what time I'd arrive?
Even though you deleted my WeChat and blocked my Weibo–
I never did those things.
The result is the same!
But you sent so much news and so many updates today that it's easy to know about your schedule.
You sticky gum!
This time it's not clear who will stick to who yet.
Look at you. Throw away all the good things aboard.
Come back to your motherland without looking back
and apply to exchange into the same college to study with me.
It's really interesting.
No, I have no interest in you at all.
We have no past relationship– my suitcase.
How do we have no relationship? I'm your boyfriend!
Ex-boyfriend. You're just an ex-boyfriend.
In high school, it was just a misunderstanding. In the end, it was only three days. Three days!
It was still a relationship. Three days.
Back then, I was blind.
And now you can see! It's the experience of love.
Tang Xiaomin. I don't know if you know this. For you
I advanced my photography techniques and learned how to Photoshop.
Learned so many techniques.
When you came back, it was all to make it shine and be beautiful.
And I've been saving myself for you.
Because you're so close to me, there was no way I would let go of the opportunity.
As people say, a one day couple is a hundred days' gratitude, and a hundred days' couple's relationship is deeper than the sea.
Let's eat sea cucumber to celebrate you coming back.
Xiaomi, my feelings for you are real.
Xiaomi!
Sir, let's go quickly. Puhua University. Go, quickly.
Go! Quickly go!
Xiaomi!
Taxi! Taxi!
Sorry, sorry, sorry! I have urgent business.
Come on!
[Do you agree to live on campus]
[Agree]
- Student, are you sure you're not living on campus? - Yes.
We live in the city, and it's easy to go to school.
The dorm rooms in the school are in short supply now.
If you are giving it up, we will give it to other students.
Okay, thank you, Teacher.
Teacher, this is my application form.
Chinese Western Medicine?
- Is that correct? - Yes.
Just then, there was a student who said they wouldn't live here,
- so you can take it. - Wait!
Teacher, I decided I want it.
You– Didn't you decide to give it up?
I changed my mind.
Do you know what "invalid after expiration" means?
I want this no matter what.
Teacher, it's like this: I live in the center of the city and everyday, there's traffic.
I'm afraid of being late, so I think I should live here.
Anyway, there's just one bed. It doesn't matter who lives there.
After you two discuss, pay the cost.
- How much is it? - 2,000¥ (T/N: 285USD)
Okay.
Thank you, Teacher.
I apologize. You can't do it anymore.
Did you guys see the news in the chat group?
I heard a beautiful girl is transferring to our class.
Really?
Transferring in high school, this type of person
isn't at a loss, but rather their family is rich.
Here.
Pay attention, students!
Let me introduce everyone to
this student, Tang Xiaomi.
From now on, you will be a member of the Chinese department.
Everyone welcome her!
Hello everyone. My name is Tang Xiaomi.
I'm excited to be classmates with you all.
I hope we can be friends in the future. Thank you.
Everyone welcome her!
I'm not a very brave person,
but recently, I did something very brave
which was to return here for one person.
Tang Xiaomi, look for an empty seat.
Student, is anyone sitting there?
Then I'll just sit next to you.
Sorry, someone is sitting here.
This time, coming early has no use. The seat is mine.
Thank you.
Sorry, then I'll sit somewhere else.
How are you? How was your application?
Don't mention it. We'll talk later.
Is there someone sitting here?
No.
What's your name?
[Hao Tian]
- My name is– - Hao Tian. I got it.
That's right.
Are those two's relationship very good?
- Which two? - Those two.
- You're talking about Yi Yao and Qi Ming? - Yes.
That's right.
If you bet, you are willing to lose. Give me your dining card.
- You're really that with her? - Of course!
It's not that. In that case, what was the reaction of Xu Tian Tian when she found out?
It's Tian Tian, so she threw a fit and cried.
It's easy to deal with her.
Tell her a few good things and spend more time with her. Tell her good things will make her happy.
As long as she's happy, take it like I didn't do anything.
I don't believe your bluffing. Yi Yao is like a hedgehog.
I think you have never met her. These hands are full of blood
if you can fix her.
You dare to touch that kind of powder keg.
Who would believe that?
- Do you believe it? - Nope. - I don't believe it.
We all don't believe it. You have to show us proof!
Proof! Where's the proof?
Speaking of the devil, look who's here.
She really came.
Go!
Go! Why are you shy? Go!
How come wherever I sell beer, I see you?
Can you not follow me?
Yi Yao,
I gave you flowers,
gave you a necklace and gave you delicious food.
Why don't you want any of them? Do you not like them?
The one I don't like is you,
so I don't like anything you sent.
Is it so hard to be my girlfriend?
I have chased after you for so long, even if it is just one day.
It has nothing to do with time. I came here today to say it clearly.
I beg of you to please stop wasting time on me.
If you drink all the beer on the table, I swear that I won't cling to you anymore.
- A gentleman's word. - A gentleman's word.
See? She doesn't respond to you.
And you said you had sex with her.
Do you even know each other?
- I will go and prove it to you guys. - Go ahead then.
Yi Yao.
Senior student, can we join the archery club?
You're welcome to.
Then, will you be guiding us?
- You guys shouldn't be needing it, right? - We need it!
Okay, then I'll get the application forms in a little bit.
Step away.
Don't be such a loser.
Didn't we have fun last night? Have you forgotten it?
Didn't I tell you to stay away from my life? Didn't you hear it?
Can you give me a little pride? I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't bet with them.
I'm interested in you?
Who has an interest in you? With a figure like yours?
It's entirely ordinary.
What's the matter, brother?
If you bet, then you are willing to lose. Give me your dining card!
Come on. Come on.
Can you give me a little pride?
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't bet with them. I'm interested in you?
So, you were together with Li Zhi yesterday.
Whoever I am with, I don't have to explain it to you.
- Did you guys have— - It has already passed if we had sex or not.
It's right that I get into trouble all the time.
Nobody wants to get in trouble. You stay away from me to avoid burning yourself.
I don't know from when
life seems to be not in my control.
Life is like swirls in the water.
No matter how hard you struggle,
in the end, you'll be dragged into the deep.
And there seems to be no end.
It's time to measure your height!
Look, you were here. How about today? Did you grow taller?
Look, you are cheating again.
Wow, there is a miracle!
- You are growing again! - How many centimeters did I grow this time?
1,2 centimeters.
Yay! Can I ride the flying chair in the entertainment park now?
Of course! Let's fly!
Don't mess with me! Let me down!
Stop it! I'm having the worst luck today!
I had a bad morning, a rough day and now you are taking advantage of me!
Then who can you blame?
I would blame it on somebody
staying out all night, having somebody on the side and being dissolute.
Close your eyes.
Are you going to ambush me?
Close your eyes. You'll know in a little bit.
I have a surprise for you.
More like a scare.
You can open your eyes now.
- I know what it is. - Happy birthday!
Look!
Congratulations to turning 20 and becoming an old woman.
Thank you! How dare you.
- It's my birthday today? - Of course.
Did you forget yourself? Are you suffering from Alzheimer's?
- Quickly! Make a wish. - Okay.
What should I wish for?
I wish for that bastard to die horribly!
Start eating!
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
Heaven will punish bad guys.
What are you doing?
Who would have an interest in you? Look at your figure.
It's just ordinary.
What's the matter, brother?
What's the matter?
If you are willing to bet then you are willing to lose. Give me your dining card!
Give it to me.
Stop it!
Aren't you ashamed?
What do you want me to do? What do you want?
Don't touch me! Don't you touch me!
How many times do I have to tell you to not touch me?
Should I break up with him or not?
He is really a player.
It's not just that he has more than one girlfriend.
He is like an octopus!
You dropped your book.
"The interpretation of dreams – craziest IQ test by Freud"
A bald trial for empiricists who normally control the secret of the heart.
It's so coincidental. I've been reading this book too.
Really? Are you in a need of this book?
I'm not. Ladies first.
If you are in a hurry, I can return it to you tonight at the library.
It would be too much trouble. I'll get it myself.
But where should I get it?
Please come to our dorm.
I don't think it's appropriate. If the teacher finds out—
No, they won't! My boy...boy classmate, Li Zhe,
he comes to our dorm a lot.
Okay. We'll talk about it then.
501!
[Senior, I really admire you. Can you come to 505 at 8:00 tonight? I have a surprise for you.]
[5F]
[501]
[505]
Who is it? Stop there!
Stop right there! I have already seen you!
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Li Zhi! I finally caught you!
You have so much courage, don't you?
You even dare to do something like this?
Let me see where you are running away to.
Who is this person?
One look and they don't look like a good person.
Jin Jin...
Li Zhi?
Is it...?
You promised me this afternoon, and you are cheating on me again!
You bastard!
- You bastard! - Stop hitting him.
- You bastard! - It's okay.
Let me deal with him. Go!
I want to break up with you!
What are you looking at?
What are you smiling at?
Do you think that by doing that, I'll be grateful to you? Regarding my matters in the future, will you meddle less, did you hear me?
You are the real-life version of the farmer and the snake.
You destroyed the bridge after crossing the river. Give me back the cake!
No! So petty and calculating.
Then I will wish you an unhappy birthday and a laugh with a closed mouth.
Eh?
I'll throw the cake in your face if you keep talking.
Hurry and eat some.
Mustard! I know you are hiding something!
- You're an egg and yet you're still eating? - How come you don't try one?
Have a taste.
- The baker didn't make it right! - I'm allergic to wasabi!
- The baker didn't make it right! He only added it on this side. - I don't want it.
- Of course! If you think about it— - Have another bite! There is more surprise inside.
Have a taste!
- Eat another one. - It's really good.
- Okay, I'll have a taste. - That's right.
There's wasabi! And you'll be allergic to it.
- Yeah. - Qi Ming!
Your mom is calling you.
Mingming!
I am coming!
What should we do about this?
What can we do then?
Let's treat it as food for the birds then. Let's go!
- Go back quickly. - Mingming!
I am coming!
Every life is like a fruit that is full and sweet.
But some lives are wasted too early.
What's exposed inside
is the wrinkly and hard fruit core.
Although it's sad,
it's the real memorial and real life.
Secret love
is a kind of art.
If everyone sitting here wants to evoke your art potential,
then you should lock in somebody that you are secretly in love with.
I would be glad to sacrifice myself.
No!
I know that I'm not perfect.
Secret love is the theme of many pieces of art work.
For example, this one.
Wow.
The sight
that never appears.
Never appearing
is a kind of disappointment and helplessness after hoping.
And the scene, it's a kind of wonderful wish.
When you look at this work, you might say:
It's so wonderful. But why?
Qi Ming's mother,
I know the brand of this coat.
It costs more than ¥30,000 in the mall.
What? More than ¥30,000?
Why is it so expensive?
It's like robbery!
I don't have the good fortune to wear it.
Of course, you don't have that kind of fortune.
There are few who are as lucky as Qi Ming's mother.
Halfway through her life, just like a rocket,
her husband started to make a lot of money!
It's like winning the lottery!
And they bought a big house on the riverside!
This kind of good fortune...
Normal people can't have it even if they envy it.
That's right.
You two are over exaggerating.
But going back to what I was saying,
if I really were to move away,
my leg would be a lot better!
Look at this old building, it's so moist and full of snakes and bugs.
I think you two should also move away soon!
You don't say—
We should just touch her clothes.
It's so smooth like silk.
Ah!
What's going on?
What's wrong with you?
You're still drinking? Even in the day.
I can smell you even across the river! It's disgusting!
It's so early in the day and she's already drunk!
Does she not want to sell her precious alcohol anymore?
She is like this all day long!
Hey.
Hey! You–
Why are you like this?
You got someone's expensive clothes so dirty.
You don't even apologize?
Stop talking!
Why are you messing with her?
Yeah. Why are you arguing with her?
She is really pitiful.
She can only sell the alcohol that you don't even know about all day long.
She is so old and still needs to sell her looks.
Who cares.
Look at this.
Look, I need to send this to the dry cleaners.
I can't believe it.
What– What are you talking about?
Say that again.
Oh.
I'm just saying that
I don't know what you are selling outside every day.
A bad mother has a bad daughter.
Your daughter is just as indecent as you.
She stayed outside all night.
She is messing around outside and has no dignity.
What a bitch.
Let's dry clean it in a little bit.
We can only dry clean it.
It's so awesome. Why? [No need to pick up]
Because the painter's feeling for secret love is universal.
You want to secretly love someone, but you also want to hide from the teacher, right?
I want to discuss that further.
Look at my clothes.
Very impressionist, right? [Weng Weng Weng]
Van Gogh, for example.
If...
I'm in class. Are you fighting again?
Hey, Qi Ming!
Your mom is fighting with Yi Yao's mom!
Hair! They are pulling hair!
Go find somebody!
