[Episode 21]
I'm telling you, I've seen that classmate of Nian Nian's.
He's a good person and hard working,
I heard that he is doing a PhD now.
My sister-in-law and I really like him.
She says this kid will achieve many things in the future.
She sees his future is well.
No, no.
You're saying that Nian Nian is with her male classmate?
Yeah, that's what I mean.
No, that's not right.
- Isn't Nian Nian dating my grandson? - Oh my.
You don't know yet?
Know what?
Look at my big mouth.
The kids are probably worried about you and didn't dare tell you.
This... Then tell me!
Nian Nian broke up with Little Han long ago.
Broke up?
I didn't ask much about them.
Just that Sister-In-Law told me a bit of it, in case I say something wrong.
Oh look, my mouth is faster than my thoughts. I've said the wrong thing.
No, that's not it.
A few days ago, Nian Nian came to chat with me.
They thought it wasn't suitable and broke up, but are still friends.
No, no. I can see that Nian Nian has feelings for my grandson.
Uncle Han, today I came to pass on a message.
Tell Little Han to let go.
There are plenty of fragrant grasses everywhere. [Same idiom as plenty of fish in the sea.]
Find a person that matches him.
What do you say?
Why are you so surprised?
What's going on?
Sister-in-Law gifted you this?
What're you here for?
Tournament... Tournament schedule is out.
This cat is so cute.
This cat is so endearing to hold in one's arms.
Sister-In-Law knows your reclusive personality, and gifted you a cat to accompany you.
So thoughtful of her.
Boss, when you are free, spend more time with Sister-In-Law. Really.
Girls need to kept company, right?
Like training, we can train by ourselves and do fine. Seriously, you don't have to care about us.
Why do you talk so much?
My cat.
Return back to you.
Then, I'll be going.
Do you know what Sister-in-Law gave him?
What?
What're you saying? I can't hear.
Hurry, hurry.
Don't rush.
Do you all know what Sister-in-Law gave Boss?
Don't just blindly guess.
Hurry and tell us. Don't leave us hanging.
- A cat. - A cat?
Okay, start betting.
Let's see how many days this cat can last for.
I'm betting on a week with what I newly bought a few days ago,
e-reader.
That much?
Auntie, who bought all of these?
Little Han ordered it, it just came.
What? Boss ordered it?
He said to send the cat home along with it.
He needs to go back to the headquarter for a week. There's no one to raise the cat here.
He's getting serious!

What're you looking at?
Boss, it's so cute.
Kitty is cute, or I'm cute?
The kitty's cute!
Both are cute!
Is Auntie Zhao here? Tell her to come see me.
Okay.
What're you waiting for?
Oh.
Auntie, I need to go out of the country for a week this time. I don't have the time to shut all the windows.
Be careful and don't open any doors or windows.
Cats aren't like dogs, they will jump out of the window.
And all the food and things are here.
Okay.
Hey, are you planning to spend a lifetime
to show me the meaning of the pursuit of petty pleasures thwarts high aims.
Playing on computers isn't enough, and now you're raising pets!
Then, that's it. Call me if anything happens.
Also, the pet store number and vet number I've copied down here.
You can contact them at anytime.
Hey, I'm talking to you, are you listening?
Oh wait, there's also Grandpa.
I ask you to take care of him, too.
Don't worry. I'll take care of Grandpa.
Then, I'll get familiar with the cat.
I've never raised one, let me try.
Slowly.
I'm leaving the country for a week and there's no one to take care of the cat.
When I come back, I'm taking the cat.
We're going to Nian Nian's house.
- Now? - Right now.
She's at school and not at home.
She's been at home the whole week.
I'm already clear about what happened between you and her.
What're you clear about?
You! You let a girl cry so sadly, don't you feel bad?
I won't care about you.
You deserve to be alone! Don't go and victimize others.
Let's go! Do you want me to get mad again?
You already said that I deserve to be alone, why would I go?
I'm wrong, okay.
You've got a bad attitude, who can stand that?
Let alone a girl, you don't even have regular friends.
What're you laughing for?
I think your words are extremely true.
I really deserve to be alone.
Let's go, let's go.
Nian Nian's mother and I agreed on eight o' clock.
It's okay if you don't go in, but at least go with me!
Let's go!
Don't get off yet.
I need to talk with you.
Can we not argue as grandpa and grandson?
I've yelled at you for so many years that it's tiring!
Can you have me worry less?
As soon as your step mom remarried,
then the one's with the last name of Han will be just me and you.
I don't want to argue with you, either.
Look, every time you yell, I'm listening to you.
Tong Nian is really a good kid.
You should open your eyes.
When you mom gets admitted to the hospital tomorrow, then my heart can be more at ease.
After that, we just have to wait for getting the surgery.
Thank you, Uncle.
You're welcome.
Your mom's condition... the earlier you perform surgery, the better.
We arrange it according to the patient's actual condition.
Also, it's a big surgery.
You have to follow her and take care of her.
The thing I'm worried about is that if you're caring for your mother, will it affect your grades?
Uncle, don't worry about this. I am in a masters-PhD combined program.
If I miss some time, I can make it up.
That's good.
Mom, don't worry.
Okay.
Uncle Han!
I was slow but managed to get here in time.
Coming back this late?
I had some errands.
Go in.
Greet her.
Hello... Auntie.
Let's go in.
Uncle Han, come in.
Old man!
- Uncle Han is here! - Uncle Han's here?
Uncle Han, here.
Come inside.
I will carry your bag.
Little Han.
Can I talk to you for a bit?
Nian Nian.
Grandpa Han, why are you here?
To see you.
- Grandpa Han. - Sit.
Careful now.
You're playing on the computer?
No, I'm coding.
That's great.
Hello.
Hi, this is...
He's named Zheng Hui, Nian Nian's classmate.
This rascal got to junior year of college and switched to a PhD program.
And he's got great manners.
- Hello, Grandpa. - And this?
Zheng Hui's Mom.
Hello, have a seat. You're guests.
You're welcome.
Bring Grandpa some tea.
You're named?
Grandpa, I'm called Zheng Hui.
I'm Nian Nian's classmate.
I am actually her senior classmate. I am in the combined bachelor-master-doctorate program.
Last year, Nian Nian and I represented our school to go participate in ACM, a world competition!
We were the champions of Asia.
Oh. Great.
Do you come by often?
Nian Nian and I are good friends, we eat and drink together a lot.
Sometimes, we go home together after school.
Then, what're you here for today?
My mom's health isn't great.
So, I'm asking Uncle to take care of her.
It's all thanks to Mr. Tong.
Next time, she can come alone.
You don't have to come with her.
- Yes. - His mom is getting old.
This child is very filial.
- Where's Nian Nian? - Let me take a look.
Nian Nian!
Grandpa, have some fruits.
I don't like fruits.
It's fine, don't take me as a stranger.
I'm not that close with you.
Didn't we just meet today?
As a mother, I always hope my daughter can meet a similar in education,
and similarly aged person as a boyfriend.
So that there would be a shared language and interest.
I'm not someone who doesn't let go of the past.
But Little Han, stand from my perspective for bit.
From anyone who knows about your past experience,
I think, they wouldn't give their daughter to you without worry.
Auntie, I have nothing to defend from the past.
It's all my fault.
Also, you're so much older than Nian Nian.
Do you two share a language?
Also, what Nian Nian's learning right now,
what is it called.. neural network, can you understand it?
I don't understand Nian Nian's field,
but she has told me.
Towards all the decisions she makes,I do and will respect them.
Then, what you do?
Do you mean my club?
Right, I am an outsider. I can't criticize your profession.
I can only express my dislike.
What? Are you unhappy?
No.
I'm used to it.
I've never relied on an outsider to understand.
Not in the past and not in the future.
I'm telling you, Nian Nian is very simple.
When it comes to feelings, she's inexperienced.
But you're not the same. You've been out there in society for so long,
Either it's work or speaking style, you have your own way and are very experienced.
But honestly, I don't like your ways.
You think I couldn't see your attitude towards Nian Nian during the New Year's Eve dinner?
Okay, I won't keep blaming you.
Did you two break up?
The time before Nian Nian's birthday, right?
She cried a lot.
Okay, now that it's like this,
I don't want you to be using her tender feelings for you, in her moment of indecisiveness, to continue this relationship.
I'm her mom, I know her too much.
This must be cut of from you, understood?
Auntie, what you said, I'm very clear about.
I don't really know how to say things, so if I said anything wrong,
Then please try to understand from point of view as an elder
and from the perspective of Grandpa.
Stop bothering Nian Nian, okay?
Okay.
I promise you.
Now that you've promised, I'm relieved.
Are you still going in?
No need, I'm going to drive around.
Take your time, and when Grandpa is ready to leave, give me a call.
Then, I'll be heading in.
Little Han,
can I really trust you?
Auntie,
am I this untrustworthy in your eyes?
I'll say this again.
I promise you I won't bother Nian Nian again.
I won't go find her again.
I won't let her have any feelings of love for me.
Nian Nian is very simple.
She's inexperienced when it comes to emotions.
But you're different. You've been in society for so long.
But to tell you the truth, I don't like you and your attitude.
You think I couldn't see your attitude towards Nian Nian during the New Year's Eve dinner?
Don't you feel bad for making a girl cry like that?
I don't care, you deserve it!
Grandpa Han, try this. This is Earl Grey tea, I just bought this recently.
Did you bought this for your parents to enjoy?
Not really, my mom likes tea,
so I buy her some wherever I go.
Grandpa Han likes tea, too. Next time, buy me some.
Okay, what tea do you like? I can buy it.
Really?
Uncle Han.
- Where's Han Shangyan? - Han Shangyan? Did he come?
Nian Nian, I'm speaking with Grandpa, don't interrupt.
Little Han said he wouldn't be coming in,
He is waiting outside. He probably thinks our older generation's conversations are boring.
Where are you going?
I'm going to find him. It's unsuitable for a guest to be outside.
I'm going to find him.
The number you've dialed is unavailable, please–
♫ I carefully covered up that I don’t mind ♫
♫ So that I can be in your world, slowly walking closer ♫
♫ I attempted to cherish this experience ♫
♫ Attempt to use unfamiliarity to explain the distance between us ♫
♫ I start to portray an unfamiliar me ♫
♫ Fathoming the untrue distance behind the words ♫
♫ I thought I possessed the acting skills to deceive everything ♫
Louis, how long have you beene here?
About ten years?
Louise, I'm asking. You've been a bartender for ten years,
haven't you wanted to see the world and travel around?
Do some more...
More glorious things?
Yeah.
Actually, a bartender's knowledge isn't small. Try this brand.
What is it?
Besheen Wine.
Tea and Wine?
The tea and wine flavors mixed together.
How about that? I understand this but you don't.
Just like dreams, everyone has something they chase after.
The important part is to be carefree.
Cheers to being carefree.
Hello, who is this?
Hello, I'm Han Shangyan.
You switched a number?
No. This is my back up.
A wily hare has three burrows.
Where are you?
New World.
Okay. I'll go find you.
Sure, I'll send the location.
♫ So many times I wish I could leave ♫
♫ Trying to find the one that is me ♫
You're here?
I see that you are getting corrupted.
It's an rare opportunity.
We got qualified for the next round. Taking a half day off.
Alcohol isn't good for professional players.
Occasional indulgence is fine.
I've been to Shanghai for several months now and I haven't come here yet.
Do you remember we used to be over there?
We didn't have any money back then. Ou Qiang found the Ladies' Night,
men can come in for free.
Ai Qing brought the four of us in.
When the owner saw us...
Remember that?
Remember?
Memories.
Yeah.
Have a little bit, I got my paycheck. It's my treat.
No, I have to drive.
Where is it parked at?
A street nearby, a friend's.
What? Something happened?
I never knew how to criticize myself.
I always thought the past is in the past.
But actually all the absurd things I've done were noted by people.
Have you done something terrible and regretted it?
Taking my mom's money earned from her shop and going to the internet cafe, does that count?
Your mom didn't beat you?
No.
After so many years, I was spoiled by her.
Girlfriend, don't have one.
Job, couldn't find one.
She told me it was fine.
As long as I was peaceful and healthy, it was fine.
But I do regret something.
That is retiring.
At that time my age, stamina, technique, everything was top-notch.
I let my emotions affected my decisions. All was wasted.
Little Mi.
When you say that...
it's like sticking a knife into my heart. Do you know that?
I can only tell you.
Only you understand me.
Han Shangyan.
Did you know you're most unfortunate?
Look at your attitude from back then?
Retiring?
How many people have skills below yours? Yet you retired.
You know how many people supported you when you were nothing until you become a Gun God.
How many peoples' hearts did you break, Han Shangyan?
I know.
You and I, we thought withdrawing back then was really cool, right?
When we were most powerful, we withdrew. It was like a myth!
It wasn't unrestrainedness.
You were seeking the end.
Sometimes I also think
what exactly was the point of me coming back to Shanghai?
'Was coming back the right choice?'
What depressing talk are you saying?
I just want to say that things, whatever they are, should not be forced.
I'm not suitable for competing and that's that!
Nian Nian, what are you doing at this time?
I'm waiting for a friend.
It's cold today, go inside and wait.
Okay.
- Bye bye. - Bye.
Nian Nian.
Mom, didn't you say Han Shangyan was outside?
He was just here.
Nian Nian, there are still many guests inside.
Having them wait isn't nice. Come in.
Old Han, why'd you come!
Little Mi, you didn't tell me!
Here, drink.
Here.
- Add a glass! - Okay!
What? Unhappy that I came?
Talk!
Emotional problems.
What kind?
You, your face is like this and you have emotional problems?
No way.
Enough.
You two chat, I'm going.
I just came and you're leaving?
I don't trust my kid to be roaming outside.
When'd you have a kid?
No, whose?
Ask him.
Drink.
Little Li
I see that Zheng Hui is a good child.
Yeah, and he takes care of Nian Nian.
Can't be. Still so young. The mind is not stable yet.
How would they know how to take care of other people?
I saw that you talked with Little Han for a bit.
Did he make you mad?
No.
My grandson doesn't really know how to talk.
And he doesn't make his elders happy.
But his nature is not bad.
Uncle, look. Little Han is your grandson,
so if I say too much, it isn't good, right?
Right, right.
Recently, I've been researching his online competition.
Actually, it's pretty difficult.
Regular people can't just do it.
I hope you can give him another chance to know him again.
I like Nian Nian a lot and believe he'll take care of her well.
Uncle. Please stop troubling me.
Just let the young ones do as they please.
Let's not care anymore, okay?
Go and have some tea.
What're you hiding behind a car for? It's very dangerous!
Why're you hiding from me?
They are all inside, are you not coming in?
Or did your club come upon something that made you unhappy?
Say what you need.
Is it because of Zheng Hui and his mom?
Who's that?
The boy you saw at my school last time.
Just a passerby. Why would I remember him? I'd forgotten.
Although you forgot, I'm still going to explain.
Zheng Hui is raised by a single mom. His mom is sick and they don't have money.
So, I told my dad to treat her. He brought his mom to Shanghai.
Oh, they're staying at our house because there are no spots in the hospital.
But tomorrow there will be. They'll leave and won't come again.
Explanation concluded.
Did you understand?
How's the cat I gave you? Is it obedient?
It almost bit me.
If it bites me, I have to get a shot.
Are you adding trouble?
Sorry.
How about if you give it to me, I'll take care of it.
I gave it away.
Who'd you give it to?
My housemaid.
Why your housemaid?
Because I don't like it.
Making decisions by yourself will make people resent you, you get it?
When I just gave it to you,
you didn't say you disliked it.
And it's also a live animal. I gave it to you and you gave it to someone else.
What if that person doesn't care for it well?
How about if you ask for it back?
I'll take care of it.
Go back home.
What do you like?
I'll make a game code for you, as an apology gift, okay?
I'd like to be alone.
My mood isn't well, I don't want to talk.
Go back.
I won't bother you any longer.

What is it? What're you being sad for?
Earlier, I talked with Little Han.
I guessed that.
I've been a teacher for so long,
I've never spoke harshly to anyone.
You're the preschool head and face a bunch of kids all day.
Who could you speak harshly to?
But I think that Little Han isn't compatible with our Nian Nian in any way.
He and our Nian Nian aren't compatible in any way.
You see, no matter if it's education or age,
and his past and his attitude!
None of that suits Nian Nian.
What? You disagree?
I agree! How could I not?
On this matter you and I will always have the same opinion.
You and I are on the same side of the war, we've been against all along.
But I think when I talked to that kid earlier, I was kind of harsh.
I'm afraid he can't take it.
He's a thirty-year-old man.
You say a few harsh lines and he can't take it?
Doesn't he have any psychological endurance?
You're thinking too much.
You just keep too much worry in your heart.
Okay, stop worrying. Go to bed.
You kid, what have you been mulling over since we came back? Talk to me a bit.
Hey, where are you going?
I was afraid you couldn't sleep well, so I made you a soothing tea.
It isn't as good as the tea Nian Nian makes.
In the beginning I should have locked you at home,
shouldn't have let you get close to a computer so early, but made you study properly.
Say, how good would it be if you were any bit like your father!
- Are you going watch this? - No.
Look, you just like to interrupt me.
What was I saying?
My dad.
Right, right! Look how good your father was in his studies.
Say, which parent marries their child to a man who doesn't have a normal profession and is full of nonsense?
- Beijing opera or Shaoxing opera?(T/N different genres of Chinese traditional opera)- Beijing Opera.
I was chatting with Nian Nian's mom.
She had a line here and there,
saying she didn't like you.
You changed it.
Little Bai, you're back? Come here.
Come watch with Grandpa.
Look how nice Little Bai is!
Grandpa wants to watch Peking Opera. Watch with him.
Dnt y sy y hd act appndcts n wntd m t tk y t th hsptl?
What're you saying? Speak louder.
Didn't you say you had acute appendicitis and wanted me to take you to the hospital?
You believe what I say?
Look how much he likes you. Accompany him, I'm going.
He's just like this! A mouth full of nonsense.
Whatever. What do you want to watch?
I'll watch Peking Opera.
Are you fine?
Yeah.
