The first time I met you,
seems like you can see my soul through.
For every trivial detail,
why can you see it?
Before I met you,
I've never thought about what love is.
Wondering if you feel the same?
You come to me like wind,
taking me away from the crowds
to touch the blue sky.
If you're tender wind,
please take me to the sky,
hand in hand, till we see all the scenery again.
Till we see all the scenery.
Someday, maybe the wind stops.
If possible,
I hope we can meet
in the same place.
Regardless of the weather,
cloudy, rainy or sunny,
we breathe the same air.
Do you also
keep the original intention
and still like staring at stars?
If you're tender wind,
take me as your wind chimes,
everyday, ringing happily.
My Mowgli Boy
Episode 11
…when you get closer to me,
when I hold you in my arms,
and when we have no one to depend on in our old age.
I'll always treat you like a delicate treasure.
…when you have every confidence in it
and when I grow old with you.
Maybe that's the point of my life.
What's happening?
Did Mowgli tell her how he feels?
Then again,
Xi is really
a man's lady.
Think about it.
She grew up
with her frenemy Zheng Li.
Zheng Li's father
treats her like his own daughter.
Her dad looks serious
but is really reliable.
What's more important,
she's got a loyal business developer.
That's me.
The first three examples sound reasonable,
but the last one is false.
Stop flattering yourself.
I'm afraid it's hard for Mowgli
to win Xi's heart.
It may be more difficult than the journey to the West.
I can't bear the thought of it.
Ling Xi,
I really like you.
Will you be my girlfriend?
If you say yes,
my family business
and my forest garden
will be yours.
Yes.
I will!
No, she won't.
There is lots of money in this bank account.
It'll be yours
as long as you break up with her.
She's my future daughter-in-law.
Convince me first
if you want to take her away.
Buddy,
I'm on your side.
Thank you.
However,
based on my own experience,
I'm worried about the latter half of your life.
If you want to be paralyzed,
take her away.
Mowgli!
What are you talking about?
I said
the reason why I'm unhappy
is that you don't really like me.
Yes, I do.
Really?
You're ungrateful!
I've been so nice to you.
Can't you feel it?
Sounds reasonable.
When I had nowhere to go,
you let me stay in your place.
You cooked steaks for me
and got me a thick quilt when it was cold.
When I was sad,
you were the only one
who comforted me.
So,
I was telling the truth, right?
But shouldn't you
be faithful to me
if you like me?
It's said in a book,
if you like another guy
while you like me,
you're two-timing me.
A two-timer
will come to no good end.
You've read a lot.
Fine.
Let me
tell you
how I feel about you. Okay?
I like you.
I really do.
But,
there are different types of affection.
I like you
just as I like Tang Cheng.
She's my friend.
You're my bestie, too.
Close friends.
Got it?
Got it.
You're promising.
Okay.
Maybe
I didn't get it.
Have a cup of tea.
Thank you.
Ziyue,
how many types of affection do you think there are?
Literally, affection is a feeling of liking or love.
On a spiritual level,
it's often associated with your emotions,
including appreciation and admiration.
Its meaning depends on context.
It's hard to quantify.
I understand
what you said,
but once
something happens to me,
I think
I'll be completely muffled.
It doesn't matter.
You'll understand
when you've seen a good deal.
Who do you
always complicate
something simple?
Making tea is complicated.
Relationships are also complicated.
Not exactly.
Lots of things are essentially complicated.
Let me take tea processing as an example.
It usually consists of a set of methods
such as plucking, withering, fixation, drying and sorting
to make a perfect cup of tea.
And relationships
are much more complicated than making tea.
Why is the human world so complicated?
The situation is much simpler
for animals in the forest.
If they like each other,
they'll touch noses and rub against each other.
When they are happy,
they'll roll over
to show you their belly.
They express their feelings
straightforwardly.
Not until I came here
did I find humans' eyes
are much more complicated
than animals'.
Mowgli,
I've been curious.
Can I ask you a question?
Why do you like Ling Xi?
Because…
Let me put it this way.
What makes you attracted to her?
There are many.
Let me think.
What on earth is going on inside?
You know what?
Some economic
or political factors
may cause severe conflict
among men.
They may fight
and bang the table.
Oh. I see.
Do you think
the two of them
will give each other
tit for tat?
Don't worry.
Go. Let's go play mahjong.
Play mahjong.
Let's go.
Leave them alone.
Let's go.
Go.
All you care about is playing mahjong.
Let's go.
Go.
Mowgli,
have you got an answer?
I'm still thinking.
Let me tell you.
You don't love
Ling Xi at all.
You think you love her
because it has been repeated often enough.
What do you mean?
You didn't aim to
get in a relationship at first.
You aren't really into each other.
You're considered a couple by the outside world
owing to some practical needs.
But as time went on,
you began to believe
it's true.
A lie, if repeated often enough,
will be accepted as truth.
Ziyue,
that sounds right.
But,
I can only understand some of your words.
As for the rest,
I'm still confused.
It's okay.
You may think I'm your teacher,
but there are a lot of things I don't understand, either.
You're influenced by others' opinions
and I'm just trapped in my own mind.
What's bothering you?
Tell me about it.
I'll try to cheer you up.
Actually, I don't like her at all.
We're poles apart.
What kind of person
is she?
Well.
She has lots of shortcomings.
They're too numerous to be listed.
The biggest problem with her
is that she's too free in her behavior.
But she's always loyal to friends.
She would do anything to help her friends in need.
She's responsible.
She dares to face difficulties and actively seeks solutions.
She's independent
and smart.
I think nothing is…
Is it my imagination?
An exclusive bucket
for each member of the family.
Separate clothes for washing.
Heavier ones go here.
Socks go here.
Is everything alright with you?
Ling Xi,
I thought a lot
about what I had done.
I'm sorry.
Self-examination is a good thing.
You can do it more often later.
Ziyue is right.
We were influenced by others' opinions.
I don't have the right
to ask you to like me.
You can make your own decisions.
He finally
did something right.
It turns out he's not that bad.
Let's keep
living together peacefully as usual
before I go back.
Okay?
For the sake of you,
I'll try my best to follow the rules here.
Actually,
I can also change something about myself for you.
Are you serious?
I've never lied to you.
Okay.
From now on,
don't use disposable chopsticks.
Don't use plastic bags
when you do shopping.
Don't use throw-away lunchboxes
that are nondegradable.
Hold on.
I said,
I can change something about myself,
not everything.
You're trying to let me
start a minimalist lifestyle.
What's that?
It means to simplify everything possible
and to live with less.
Isn't that great?
There are more things you can do.
You can learn to become a minimalist step by step.
Do you mean many animals in the forest
were choked to death because of plastic bags?
I'm convinced.
You're really
an environmental activist.
You deserve to
be awarded a medal.
Do you know?
When I lived in the forest,
I know that
trees have feelings.
Flowers can smile.
Grass
has feelings, too.
I talked to them
when I was in the forest.
Will trees get angry?
What will they do if they forgive?
They don't get angry.
So,
what will wolves do
if they forgive?
At 18:40,
you're standing on the other side of the road,
in a grey knee-length hooded coat.
That's
what wolves do.
You come to me,
lowering your head and narrowing your eyes.
The sun is hidden by you,
smiling in silence.
This case involves property disputes
and child custody.
Both are my specialty.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Okay. Trust me.
I'll try my best to
maximize your benefit
and take your children's long-term interests into consideration.
I'll get you
the perfect legal plan
to solve your problem.
I'm a professional.
Believe me.
That's right.
Among all lawyers in the firm,
I have the highest winning percentage.
As for your case,
I'm sure to win.
I'll get started with it
as long as you make an advance payment.
Okay. Alright.
Thank you.
Clear.
The client needs to pay at most RMB 50,000.
I will receive 80% of it as an advance payment.
The company will take away 30%.
Subtract what I need to pay for gas, water and electricity
as well as animal salvage to my parents.
The rest can be used to pay for living expenses.
Equals 0.
50,000*0.8
*0.7
-2,000
-8,000
-20,000
equals 0.
Equals 0.
Equals…
Equals… equals 0.
It seems
I can do nothing this month again.
What a miserable life!
Hello? Boss, what can I do for you?
Come to my office!
What's up?
I've got a new case.
Come over now!
Oh, no.
Is anything going wrong?
I hope my pay won't be docked.
It must be effective this time.
Wormwood helps reduce inflammation,
relieve allergies,
and get rid of an asthma cough.
Zheng Li is bound to like it.
To Ling?
Is it a gift for me?
High heels.
It must be a gift for me.
Ms. Zhang, you scared me.
I thought Zheng Li came back ahead of schedule.
Each time you come here,
you act like a spy.
Or else?
I have to race against time.
Ms. Zhang,
this is carnation without pollen.
Please put it in the vase later.
As for the rest,
just do it as you always do.
I see.
Mr. Zheng suffers from rhinitis.
The carpet
has to be cleaned up.
Don't let the office
get too cold,
or he may catch a cold
because of the big difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
And special attention
should also be given to the tissues.
It's better to use
those made from wood pulp
which are free from brightening and fluorescent agents.
Ms. Zhang, you're so nice.
You've remembered every detail.
Don't say that.
Over the years,
I've watched you become a grown-up
from a little girl.
I've had those things
at my fingertips.
Trust me.
I won't forget that
even if I suffer from senile dementia.
Ms. Zhang, don't say that again.
It may bring you bad luck.
When will you let him know?
How about
me helping you do that?
No! No!
Don't.
Don't tell him about it.
I've got a plan.
Alright. He may be back anytime.
I'm leaving.
Take care.
See you, Ms. Zhang.
Do you know why I asked you to be here?
Judging from your smile,
I know
it couldn't be anything good for me.
Go ahead.
Don't beat around the bush.
What's this?
Explain it to me.
Isn't it the signature you want?
What's wrong with it?
How dare you?
It's fake. Are you making a fool of me?
It's not fake.
It's authentic.
It cost me RMB 50.
What?
Nothing.
Boss.
For lawyers,
it's extremely important to be honest.
This case has been closed.
Do you want to reverse the verdict?
Besides,
the signature was confirmed by you.
And Lu Ziyue couldn't appear as a witness.
How about like this?
If you don't believe me,
you can get him here and confront me.
A clear hand wants no washing.
If he dares to come here,
I'd call you dad.
I'm leaving if there is nothing else.
Bye.
Why are you here?
It's you.
Call me dad.
He's here to confront you.
Be careful.
How dare you come here?
Mr. Hou.
Lu Ziyue,
is this your signature?
Come over.
You'd better think carefully
before you answer.
Be responsible for your words and actions.
Ziyue.
You're sensible.
It's not!
Authentic.
Fake.
As plain as daylight!
Case closed.
Stay out of that case.
Is there anything else you want to say?
I'm almost finished with it.
I'm going to sign a contract.
Mr. Zhang is handling
the dispute over the copyright of a novel.
Mr. Li and his team
is dealing with a case related to property distribution.
And Xia
just fired two assistants.
At present, I'm the only one
who can take care of this case.
You're wrong.
As you said,
a lawyer has to be honest.
You didn't do
what you preach.
Li Ziyue!
Here.
You have to shoulder some of the blame
because of ineffective supervision.
Reflect on yourself.
Yes, sir.
Take over the case tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Lu Ziyue.
I'll catch you
and make soup
with your internal organs,
or I'd change my surname.
Lu Ziyue.
You asshole!
Fine.
You're ungrateful.
They're going to sign the contract with you.
You'd better pray I don't catch you.
It's not a shame that men are henpecked.
You'll feel miserable
if you're driven away from home
and see them display affection
in a car.
I'm a scholar, anyway.
How could I let this happen to me?
I've heard of what happened
when you bought furniture.
Chi Xu isn't worth you doing that,
but I still want to say thank you.
Don't say that.
I'd beat such a jerk like him
even if he were someone else's boyfriend,
let alone it's for you.
It's alright.
Hi, Miss. Ling.
Here is the bread and coffee you want.
Thank you.
Yiling,
can you do me a favor?
Help me take this to Zheng Li,
but don't tell him it's from me.
Just tell him…
it's from you.
Do you want to make fun of him again?
Which flavor is it,
mustard or salt?
Neither.
It's fermented bean curd.
Smell it.
It's awful, right?
It'll be much fun.
I have a question for you.
Why did he
get me a present
this time?
Well. I'm not sure.
I'm wondering
if he's figured out a new way
to deal with me.
I'm curious
if the two of you can communicate or not
in case you don't make fun of each other.
No.
We can't.
We're just like
coriander with mustard.
When you have a bite,
it'll make you cry.
If we show respect
for each other,
it'll be weird.
Fine.
You're really like his younger sister.
You spoke in the same tone of voice as him.
Is he still mad at me?
Well.
He isn't.
Besides, he said something nice about you.
Really?
What did he say?
He said you're nice and kind-hearted.
And you're pure in thought.
As expected, he understands me.
Do you have anything else
to share with me
about the business trip?
Zheng Li
was bullied by a woman.
I heard a woman bullied you.
You can apply for compensation.
Maybe you'll be awarded
the “Biggest Sacrifice Medal”?
What do you think?
You'd better not.
It's not an honor at all.
Just keep it for yourself.
Hi, Mr. Zheng.
Hi, Mr. Ling.
Zheng Li.
You're actually a ladies' man.
Why have you been staying single these years?
Do you really want to
focus on work
and devote your life to Wharf Group?
Actually,
I have no interest in
taking over the family business.
I haven't got in a relationship
because the right woman for me
hasn't received my signs.
Pardon? Signs?
Can't you make things simpler?
In this case,
when can you
get in a relationship?
Anyway,
I'll always promote idealism like Don Quijote.
I'll stay single
unless I find the one.
OMG.
What's the smell?
It's from the humidifier.
Ms. Zhang.
Mr. Ling.
What's been put in the humidifier?
I think it's a kind of essential oil.
Ms. Zhang.
Get me the bottle
and I'll read the ingredient label.
There is no bottle.
What?
Where is the bottle?
I don't know.
Ms. Zhang,
you cleaned the room, right?
Yes, but…
I don't have any essential oil.
What on earth is going on?
You know Mr. Zheng is allergic
to many kinds of smell, right?
If you don't give a clear explanation,
I can fire you at any time
according to company rules.
Got it?
Excuse me. I need to answer the phone.
It's Miss Ling Xi.
Ling Xi?
Please show me this one.
This is the top one in our store.
Its surface is full of mechanical beauty…
My dad has got a Tissot Luxury.
There is nothing to be surprised at if you send him one more.
Right? Honey.
You're right.
It's the first time I meet him.
I have to prepare a suitable gift
to show my sincerity.
Let's look at the others.
How about this one?
It looks simple,
but the price is appropriate.
Now that it's a sport watch,
my dad can wear it when he plays golf
or on some other informal occasions.
Okay. Hold on, please.
I'll pack it up for you.
Okay.
What else do we need to buy?
It's not a proposal or whatever.
Gifts are not what matters most.
It's just…
It doesn't matter.
Just let me know what you want.
It's the first time I go to see your dad.
I hope there is no risk at all.
Actually, the gift is just a stepping stone to status.
My dad wants to know more about you.
He wouldn't care
what you send him
if you're richer.
However,
I've got a plan.
What is it?
I heard on the family gathering
that we'll invest in a business area.
It's said two subway lines
will be built there.
It'll be a prime lot in the future.
How about like this?
You join us
and invest in it. Okay?
I'm afraid
I have to discuss about it with my dad.
Everything in your family
is up to your dad and your sister.
When can you
think about the two of us?
We're going to be a family.
Don't think too much.
You're always by their side.
He thinks about their interests no matter what you do.
Have they thought about yours?
I'm so worried about you.
Forget about it.
My family will be by your side
after we get married.
Then you won't need to guess what they're thinking.
The investment is a chance.
If you join us,
my dad will be deeply impressed
by your courage and wisdom.
Really.
Think it over.
Okay.
Miss Ling asked me not to tell you about it.
Actually,
she's been doing like that for five years.
You treat her like a younger sister,
but
she likes you more than a brother.
Are you available tonight?
Can I have dinner with you?
Are you available tonight?
Can I have dinner with you?
Tutu.
Tutu!
Tutu, please apply makeup to me.
I hope it seems I'm not wearing makeup,
but it really makes a difference.
Got it?
Xi,
what look do you mean?
A natural makeup look.
Come on.
Make sure I look amazing
and he's like, “Wow!”. Okay?
Okay.
But it has to be natural.
Got it?
I see.
Ziyue,
I want to prepare a big meal for Ling Xi,
but I don't know what I should buy.
I'm thinking about making a steak for her.
What's the best kind of beef?
The ribeye steak
is perhaps the finest of all steaks.
There is no fat.
It's tender and succulent.
Hold on.
Where are you?
In the supermarket.
What?
Why did you go there?
What if you come across something
you don't know how to deal with?
Don't worry.
I've asked about it.
I'll get a membership card first.
Members can get a discount.
Do you have money?
Yes.
Each time I do some cleaning
and do the laundry for Ling Xi,
she gives me some money.
How much have you got?
RMB 100.
She treats you like a cheap laborer.
She said
money is the root of all evil.
I think she's right.
Fine.
She's really good at brainwashing people.
I know what brainwashing is.
Ling Xi is a sales person.
It's good for her to master the skill.
That's right.
It's okay now that you're willing to listen to her.
Remember.
Feel free to call me anytime
when you need help. Got it?
Alright.
I see.
You'll often see discounted goods in the supermarket.
Generally, the price highlighted in yellow is the discount price.
The original price is RMB 12.8.
Members get a 10% discount.
It means…12.8 minus
1…
1.2. The price is RMB 13.8.
One discount price is RMB 11.52.
The other is RMB 11.04.
Young man,
you're good at math.
Well done.
Amazing.
It's quick and accurate.
The area of Fresh Produce
usually takes up 20% to 30%
of the whole supermarket.
It's easy to find.
If you fail to do that,
raise your head
and follow the indicators.
When you do shopping,
keep in mind how much you have in your pocket.
If you don't have enough money…
I want his.
And this.
Hi.
It's RMB 428.5 in total.
Will you pay by card or by cash?
By cash.
Okay.
It's not enough.
Thank you.
Luckily,
I've got the beef for Ling Xi.
Sir.
If you buy meat here,
you can get disposable knives and forks
for free.
It's okay.
I've got eco-friendly chopsticks.
All chopsticks are the same, aren't they?
Of course not.
Eco-friendly chopsticks
are made of cornstarch
and other materials.
They're biodegradable.
I've learned something from you.
I'll take some home
and show my granddaughter
what eco-friendly chopsticks are.
Do you need a plastic bag?
No.
I've taken a reusable shopping bag with me.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
Ling Xi.
I'm back from the supermarket.
Look.
How do I look in the clothes?
Did you find something special?
I've got steak.
I didn't mean that.
Am I feminine?
Is your heart pounding?
My heart is beating.
That's right.
That's because I'm feminine. Got it?
Ling Xi, I've learned to make a steak.
I have something to tell you.
I can't
have dinner with you tonight.
I've got a date.
I must go.
Cheng, I'm leaving.
Time to set out.
Bye.
If a steak is rested for 5 minutes after cooking,
it'll be juicier and tastier.
Steak?
Give it to me.
-Hi. -Hi.
Is there a reservation
by the name of Zheng Li?
This way, please.
There, right?
Thank you.
Perfect lighting.
Perfect music.
Perfect scene.
What's up?
You're wearing sky-high heels.
You may get a sprained ankle.
Really?
I think high heels make me
look mature,
so I'm willing to take a risk.
Take a seat.
Come on.
Are you sure I can do that?
No glue on the chair.
Don't worry.
Really?
I'll believe you this time.
All the dishes I've ordered
are what you like to eat.
They're non-poisonous and harmless.
Trust me.
Oh.
It's for you.
You missed the movie last time.
So, I got two tickets for a concert.
Will you go with me?
I think
I look good
in the high heels.
It's a different style.
I've decided to dress like this from now on.
Do you think so?
You don't confine yourself to where you are
but dare to try new things.
Good for you!
Give it to me.
What do you mean?
Come on.
Didn't you get me a gift?
So,
don't you dare to
send it to me?
Sorry.
I was in a rush on the business trip,
so, I've bought nothing.
I'll get you a gift
next time.
It's weird.
Fine.
Maybe you're planning something bold and new.
I'll pretend to be surprised
when you send it to me next time.
Something bold and new?
Ms. Zhang told me
you often came to my office
and did the cleaning.
It's you that
are planning something bold and new. Right?
You know everything?
I asked her not to tell you about it.
Actually,
I'm very happy
I can do that for you.
Here is the thing.
Actually,
I have a serious question
to ask you.
Go ahead.
Hold on.
I'm wondering
if you have a crush
on me.
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road
in grey hooded coat reaching below the knees.
You come up to me,
with your head down and eyes narrowed.
With the sun behind you, you smile not saying a word.
The cool wind, the subtle night;
the tipsy street, the smiling eyes;
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road

You come up to me,
with your head down and eyes narrowed.
With the sun behind you, you smile not saying a word.
The cool wind, the subtle night;
the tipsy street, the smiling eyes;
I slightly turn my head and look at you, blanking out.
The warm hands, the glimmering moon,
the dim light, and the tiny face.
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.
