01:58 You know they say that people in certain specializations
02:10 have a tendency to be more depressed than others.
02:13 For Ling Xiao to have anxiety?
02:16 I think that's normal.
02:17 It's probably because he's too smart.
02:19 That doesn't make sense.
02:21 It's got nothing to do with being smart.
02:23 Then it has to be his mother's fault.
02:26 Imagine me having a mother-in-law like that.
02:30 That would be horrible.
02:31 Why don't we choose a book that's so boring
02:37 it lulls people to sleep?
02:38 What about 100 Years of Solitude?
02:41 That will magic him to sleep.
02:45 Right.
02:46 Let's get this one.
02:47 This will knock him out.
02:48 Let's go.
02:49 We still have to buy the wallpaper.
02:51 Thank you, sir.
02:52 Thanks a lot.
02:53 Thank you, sir.
02:54 Thank you.
02:55 Thank you.
02:56 Thank you, sir.
02:57 Thank you.
02:58 Bye.
02:59 Goodbye.
03:00 Take care.
03:01 Oh.
03:05 Ready?
03:10 Ready.
03:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:15 That's good.
03:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:31 Are you sure this is going to work?
03:46 Of course.
03:47 Your mood will improve if you're more relaxed.
03:50 You can sleep better.
03:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:55 Hm?
03:56 [GIGGLES]
03:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:00 OK, be careful.
04:07 Yeah, OK.
04:08 I need to change shoes.
04:09 OK, you're OK.
04:10 I have to shower.
04:12 You can't.
04:13 You're not supposed to wet those wounds yet, right?
04:15 Try to put it off.
04:16 I swear I can't.
04:17 I'm itching all over.
04:18 Hey, Jin Jin.
04:19 Oh, no, Ling Xiao.
04:20 Help me shower.
04:22 What are you staring at?
04:23 Help me out.
04:24 Everything is itchy.
04:25 Let's go.
04:27 Be careful with your wounds.
04:28 I will.
04:29 So lucky.
04:33 Must be nice to have a brother.
04:35 A brother to help you shower?
04:39 [GIGGLES]
04:40 Call them for dinner.
04:41 We have hot pot.
04:43 Zichu's wounded and you ask for hot pot?
04:46 I'm making it.
04:47 Oh.
04:48 OK, OK, OK.
04:50 [DOOR OPENS]
04:51 Hey.
04:57 You're not eating?
04:59 We're back.
05:00 Welcome.
05:01 Hey.
05:02 Come over here.
05:03 Come in, come in.
05:05 Do you remember him?
05:07 High school classmate?
05:08 He was good at basketball?
05:10 The gorilla?
05:11 Zhuang Bei?
05:12 This is Xi Ming Ye.
05:14 I remember.
05:15 Good to see you.
05:17 [♪♪♪]
05:19 You guys OK?
05:28 We're old friends.
05:29 Come on in.
05:30 Yeah, of course.
05:31 Old friends.
05:32 Add me on WeChat?
05:33 Uh, sure, but my phone's still charging.
05:35 OK.
05:36 May I sit?
05:37 Hey.
05:40 Where's Teng San?
05:41 She made all these side dishes for us.
05:44 But it's you she's afraid of.
05:46 [♪♪♪]
05:53 Oh!
06:03 [GASPS]
06:04 Why were you behind the door?
06:06 Why didn't you knock?
06:07 Did you know I never knock?
06:09 Let me see, let me see.
06:10 Does it hurt?
06:11 Uh, uh.
06:12 You're all right, I promise.
06:14 Huh?
06:15 This counts as you hitting me, OK?
06:18 Of course not, I didn't mean it.
06:20 Well, then, hit me on purpose.
06:21 Huh? Huh?
06:22 It's fine, you can make me ugly.
06:24 You're crazy.
06:25 Is this how you apologize?
06:27 Don't be mad at me anymore.
06:29 You shouldn't joke about things like that, you know.
06:33 I apologize.
06:34 All along, I thought you knew that he was OK.
06:37 I promise, it won't happen again.
06:39 Say you forgive me, please?
06:41 Jianjian, you can hit me.
06:43 Hit me, hit me, hit me, come on.
06:45 Hit me.
06:46 I love you, no hitting.
06:48 Come here.
06:49 Aw, Jianjian, my baby, my sweet baby angel.
06:53 Angel?
06:54 [GIGGLING]
06:56 Congrats to the happy couple for finding true love.
07:01 Come, join us.
07:03 [GIGGLING]
07:08 Your precious hair.
07:10 Zhuang Bei?
07:12 I need makeup.
07:14 Why do you need to put on makeup?
07:16 We're having dinner at home.
07:18 No makeup's good.
07:19 You guys are lazy, and you will never understand the point.
07:23 Eating time.
07:37 Johnson.
07:38 Uh, she's just cleaning up.
07:40 We can start.
07:41 Oh, OK, OK.
07:42 Let's have dinner.
07:44 What do you want?
07:45 Meatballs, here.
07:46 Thanks a lot.
07:47 No worries.
07:48 All right, before we start, here's a toast to Zhu Chou for escaping death.
07:52 Cheers.
07:53 OK, OK, cheers.
07:54 Cheers.
07:55 Cheers.
07:56 Thank you.
07:57 Give me some meatballs.
08:01 Wait, let me dip it first.
08:03 Fine.
08:04 Meatballs.
08:08 Oh, wait a minute.
08:09 Doesn't this have some garlic?
08:11 Won't that be bad for his wounds?
08:13 I want meatballs.
08:14 It's an antibiotic.
08:15 Oh, good.
08:16 I'm finally free from all that porridge.
08:18 Give me some chai.
08:19 Ooh, hot, hot.
08:22 Be careful, it's hot.
08:23 Hey, why are you here?
08:34 Why are you here?
08:35 Zhu Chou invited me to dinner.
08:41 Oh, help yourself, don't be shy.
08:43 After all, you are my client.
08:45 Huh?
08:46 Zhuang Bei's your client?
08:47 Yeah.
08:48 Hey, can I have a beer?
09:01 Here's to us, to working together.
09:04 Here's to us.
09:05 I'm very happy.
09:10 Everyone eat up.
09:11 This is on me.
09:12 Cheers.
09:13 Drink.
09:14 As long as you're buying.
09:15 Cheers, everyone.
09:16 Cheers.
09:17 All right, Tang San.
09:29 Come on.
09:30 Right.
09:41 Chiming Ye.
09:47 Chiming Ye.
09:48 Huh?
09:49 Do you have a boyfriend?
09:50 Me?
09:52 I don't.
09:53 What about Ling Xiao and Zhu Chou?
09:58 Those two are...
09:59 They're all right.
10:01 They're my good friends.
10:02 Remember, that's good.
10:10 The three of them, they've been together forever, since they were kids.
10:14 You know what I think?
10:15 Don't pick boyfriends with sisters,
10:17 because they will always put their sister ahead of you.
10:19 I don't think so.
10:22 They're very caring towards their sister.
10:25 They'll do the same with their girlfriends.
10:28 But those two, they're not Jian Jian's biological brothers.
10:31 And I think, one day, the two of them will fall in love.
10:35 Li Jian Jian and Zhu Chou?
10:41 Or maybe...
10:43 Ling Xiao and Jian Jian are...
10:45 That's not possible.
10:47 Ling Xiao already has someone.
10:50 Eat this. Come on.
10:52 Ling Xiao already has someone?
10:54 Who?
10:56 Well, I'm not sure.
10:58 That's enough. It's bad for you.
11:11 We're celebrating!
11:14 Jian Jian, did Tang Shan teach you to drink?
11:17 Obviously.
11:18 You're wrong!
11:20 You always think that Tang San is something of a party animal.
11:25 Actually, the drinking and the karaoke,
11:28 that's teaming, yeah!
11:29 I was wrong.
11:43 Ling Xiao, I want some beer.
11:46 Say brother.
11:49 Brother.
11:50 You can't.
11:51 You're injured. You can't drink.
11:55 Give me some vetch.
11:56 Sing this part!
12:03 You know what?
12:18 This all got me thinking.
12:23 What if Zhu Chou really had it bad?
12:26 I would feel horrible.
12:29 Bro?
12:34 Little bro?
12:35 Welcome home.
12:37 I'm happy you're home.
12:39 Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer!
12:45 Come on, can't be one.
12:47 Are we back to the good old days?
12:49 Oh, yes we are.
12:50 Hey, let's drink.
12:51 Let's drink, come on.
12:52 Cheers!
12:54 This is good.
13:01 But I have to pee.
13:03 Hold it in, we're having a moment.
13:11 You want my bladder to burst?
13:13 Let's go.
13:17 Let's go.
13:18 Yeah?
13:37 What?
13:41 Who is this?
13:43 Why are you on my brother's phone?
13:45 I'm sorry.
13:46 Well, I am...
13:52 Is this Li Zhenzhen?
13:54 Yeah.
13:56 Are you Chin Mei-yang?
13:58 My brother...
14:00 I mean your brother went to the toilet.
14:04 When is he coming back?
14:05 He just went to the toilet.
14:07 I'm going to tell him to call you back.
14:09 I mean, when is he coming back to Singapore?
14:11 He told me he'll be back here in a month.
14:15 Whatever.
14:16 Tell him to call me back.
14:17 Bye.
14:18 Hey, Li Zhenzhen!
14:39 It's your song!
14:40 Come here, come here!
14:41 Come here!
14:42 Huh?
14:53 Li Zhenzhen?
14:54 Li Zhenzhen!
14:56 Get up!
14:57 Get up and sing!
14:58 Li Zhenzhen.
15:00 I think she's had enough.
15:01 Hey, get up and sing!
15:02 Get up, get up.
15:04 Zhenzhen.
15:05 She's asleep.
15:07 Zhenzhen.
15:10 Let me help.
15:11 Zhenzhen, let's go to your room.
15:14 Here's a slipper.
15:20 Here, you sing.
15:25 [music]

15:32 [music]
15:35 [music]
15:38 [music]
15:41 [music]
15:44 [music]
15:47 [music]
15:49 Silly girl.
16:16 She hasn't changed.
16:18 What are you talking about?
16:20 She's very much an adult now, you know?
16:23 She's dating someone.
16:24 I used to think that Zhang Xueran is a little weird.
16:29 But now I think he's fine.
16:31 He's not a bad guy.
16:33 Besides, she's all grown up now, so we can't control her.
16:37 She can do what she wants.
16:39 Of course she can.
16:40 Just not him.
16:44 [laughs]
16:45 Now I feel better not having a brother.
16:49 You're right.
16:52 She probably hates me.
16:55 I didn't say I hate you.
16:58 I hope someday there will be someone to protect me like you with her.
17:04 Really?
17:06 Yeah, really.
17:08 Be more confident.
17:10 No one would hate you.
17:12 [music]
17:14 [moaning]
17:26 Come on, Li Zhenzhen.
17:30 We have to clean your face first.
17:32 [moaning]
17:36 What is it?
17:38 What's the matter?
17:40 Oh, it's her socks.
17:41 It's her socks.
17:42 I'm fine. No need to walk me out.
18:02 So I'm going to your place next time?
18:04 Yeah, I stayed at the dinner with my mom.
18:05 Did you add her on WeChat?
18:07 Yeah, I have.
18:09 All right. I'm going home now.
18:11 Okay.
18:12 Goodbye.
18:18 Wait a sec.
18:19 Wait up, wait up!
18:20 Sorry, but isn't this your phone?
18:23 I forgot. Thank you.
18:26 Yeah, you're welcome.
18:28 So I'm going now.
18:30 Bye now.
18:31 [laughs]
18:38 [door opens]
18:39 Why did he take our picture?
18:43 So his phone will have a photo of a pretty girl like me.
18:46 [laughs]
18:47 So gross.
18:50 [music]
18:53 [music]
18:55 [music]
19:19 [music]
19:21 [music]
19:35 [music]
19:37 [music]
20:03 Brother, welcome home. Sleep tight.
20:06 Li Zhenzhen, what are you doing in there?
20:13 I'm coming!
20:14 [music]
20:32 [water running]
20:34 Strawberry jam! Strawberry jam!
20:44 Zhenzhen.
20:49 Yesterday, I saw a call from Qin Meiyang. You picked up?
20:54 Oh. Uh...
20:57 But I didn't mean to. I thought that it was my phone.
21:00 I forgot to tell you. She said you should call back.
21:03 Oh. Did she tell you anything?
21:05 Uh... just for you to return her call.
21:08 You going to the cafe? Can you work with those hands?
21:19 I have to go. I don't even know how my cafe is doing.
21:23 [laughs] How nice. You sound like a business owner.
21:26 Of course. I'll take care of you and dad in the future.
21:30 Mm.
21:31 So... I answered Ling Xiao's phone.
21:44 It was a call from Ling Xiao's sister in Singapore.
21:48 What happened?
21:50 Ling Xiao told them that he'll be back there after a month.
21:53 Why do you believe her? He has a job here. Why would he leave?
21:57 Yes, I know that. But that means that Ling Xiao lied to them,
22:01 just so they would let him come here.
22:03 That's right. No wonder his evil mom allowed him to come here.
22:07 So what now?
22:09 We can't do anything. He's probably worried.
22:12 Did you also have to lie to Zhou Hua Guang?
22:18 Of course not. He doesn't control my life.
22:20 That's great. He can't touch you.
22:27 What's funny?
22:28 It's his dad.
22:31 Zhou Hua Guang's not my dad.
22:33 He's your biological dad.
22:35 Will you stop saying...
22:36 Happy?
22:37 You see that? He eats my food and mashes my table.
22:41 I'm fine. I'm fine. Eat up.
22:45 I'm fine. I'm fine. Eat up.
22:47 Oh my, we've already scheduled a date with her.
23:02 Can you believe that Hai Chou is calling it off?
23:05 Hey, Hopping. Why don't you go instead?
23:10 It's perfect. A policeman and a teacher. You're a good pair.
23:14 Oh no, ma'am. I finally get to have a two-day break.
23:18 Don't give me more work to do, okay?
23:20 Oh my, it's not work. It's a blind date.
23:23 Hey, could you talk to Hai Chou?
23:27 You two are best friends.
23:29 To tell you the truth, I can't convince him.
23:34 Tell him to forget about He Mei.
23:37 He Mei?
23:39 Yes.
23:40 Oh, come on.
23:42 I'm sure he's forgotten about her. That was ages ago.
23:46 Back in those days, when he was willing, he had several matches.
23:50 But he only wanted He Mei.
23:52 Their relationship was doing so well. They were supposed to get married.
23:56 In the end, He Mei got cold feet.
23:59 That's why he's nervous about dating now.
24:01 Oh, I didn't know that.
24:04 Of course you don't.
24:05 Excuse me, Ju. Hey, why isn't Mr. Li back from grocery shopping?
24:09 He's not at the grocery store. He went to see Ziqiu.
24:12 Huh?
24:13 Your coffee.
24:20 Thank you.
24:21 Your pie.
24:24 Thank you.
24:25 Welcome. Please order inside.
24:27 Hey, Dad. You're here.
24:29 Oh my, you still have injuries. Why are you here?
24:34 The wounds are starting to dry out, Dad. See? I'm fine.
24:37 Oh, hi, Mr. He.
24:39 Dad's wrong. His name is Li. I didn't take this.
24:42 Oh, hello, Mr. Li.
24:43 You can go back to work.
24:45 Oh, wait. Please make some tea.
24:47 Yes, of course.
24:48 Dad, let's sit upstairs.
24:49 Sure.
24:50 Hey.
24:51 What did you bring?
24:54 I made fried dumplings.
24:55 Fried dumplings? Awesome.
24:57 Have they gone cold?
24:59 No, they're fine. Still warm.
25:01 That's good. Try them both. They're different.
25:04 Dad, does my cafe look alright?
25:08 It's nice.
25:11 So how's business going?
25:13 This is just a self-opening. Lots of people come.
25:16 Oh, that's good.
25:18 Starting a business can be very risky. It's never easy.
25:23 And young business owners can be impulsive.
25:25 A new cafe without long-term planning?
25:28 Don't worry, Dad. I work part-time at a coffee shop.
25:31 I shadowed all the workers, from the cook to the waiter.
25:34 I didn't do this on impulse.
25:35 Did you?
25:36 All along I thought that you worked at a hotel restaurant.
25:40 Why did you work at a cafe?
25:42 To start a cafe when I got back.
25:46 So I chose to work there, at the cafe, to learn the business.
25:52 You kids are crazy.
25:54 You call with good news, but you keep the bad news.
25:57 Just like Ling Xiao.
25:59 Every time he calls, "I'm good, I'm alright."
26:01 "Don't worry, I'm alright. Just not sleeping so well."
26:04 It turns out he has anxiety, depression.
26:09 Don't hide these things from me again, okay?
26:11 Yes, okay, Dad. It's not about keeping it from you.
26:14 I'm not going to hide it from you.
26:16 I'm going to tell you the truth.
26:18 It's not about keeping it from you.
26:21 It's because we're so far apart.
26:23 And you shouldn't worry.
26:24 And I'm not like Ling Xiao.
26:26 His mom and his sister, they depend on him too much.
26:29 How could you sleep in his situation?
26:31 That boy has his problems, but his story is not your story to tell.
26:35 Don't gossip about him.
26:37 Okay, then I won't.
26:45 I know you harbor some resentment.
26:49 Okay, now tell me.
26:51 In all those years, have you tried looking for your mother?
26:57 Why look for her? She abandoned me.
27:02 She's not a bad person.
27:04 Chanting us reasons. Who may is not bad?
27:07 Dad, you think every person is good.
27:09 She knew that you're the kind of person that should adopt trees off the streets.
27:13 What do you mean about that?
27:15 Talking about adopting trees?
27:17 You and Ling Xiao, you two are tree cats and dogs?
27:20 Why? You have her number?
27:22 Well, if you want, I can ask around for it.
27:25 Dad, give it up.
27:27 It's been a long time.
27:29 She probably don't remember us.
27:31 Don't worry about it.
27:32 And anyway, what would I even tell her?
27:35 You guys are my family.
27:37 The rest, they're strangers.
27:40 Our relationship is complicated.
27:45 Okay. What do I know, right?
27:51 Listen, that's not what I was saying.
27:54 I understand what you mean.
27:56 This is what you wanted to say.
27:58 Nothing is absolute.
28:00 I'm not educated enough to talk about philosophy.
28:05 I can't say much of that.
28:07 But I'm an old man, and experience counts too, right?
28:11 So here's my two cents.
28:13 Not all wars must be fought, right?
28:16 People come, and people go.
28:19 Everyone has their own timing.
28:21 What are you trying to say?
28:24 You're saying, hold on, to let things happen?
28:27 Exactly.
28:28 Dad, you're saying let things happen.
28:30 But earlier, you said to seek her out.
28:35 And they're opposites.
28:37 That used to be my job.
28:39 To tell you to let it go.
28:41 But now it's your turn to tell me to let things go.
28:43 Dad, I have to do more than that.
28:46 I have to take care of you.
28:48 Good news.
28:50 I'll let you handle my problems.
28:52 Can I retire?
28:53 You do that.
28:55 Try that one. It's a different film.
28:58 Oh, this one?
28:59 Yes, try that one.
29:01 Okay.
29:02 I've told the driver about your situation.
29:19 So he checked the itinerary.
29:21 He picked her up along Washington Road,
29:23 and dropped her off at the Vistas District.
29:26 [♪♪♪]
29:29 Running releases dopamine.
29:42 Dopamine makes you feel a lot better.
29:44 When we get tired, we head back for a bath,
29:46 and then we can sleep better.
29:48 I'm a doctor. I know how it works.
29:50 But you're a dentist.
29:52 And it's not your teeth that need help.
29:55 You'll be my doctor.
29:57 I'm no doctor.
29:59 But at the same time, I know very well,
30:01 what you need is forgiveness.
30:04 What I need is therapy.
30:06 You're my therapy.
30:08 You're so freaking gross. Too cheesy.
30:11 I'm serious.
30:12 And that room makeover you did, that was helpful.
30:15 I didn't do it all by myself.
30:17 Mingya had a lot of ideas.
30:18 Who bought the book?
30:20 I did.
30:21 I really think it's a good book.
30:23 It has really good passages.
30:24 Yeah.
30:25 Hey, here's an example.
30:28 I finally know that one cannot withstand
30:30 everything that life throws at us,
30:32 and that the shadow of a cloud can at times suffocate.
30:36 Why'd you smile?
30:40 I wasn't kidding.
30:42 You're my therapy.
30:43 Hey, will you let that go? Disgusting.
30:46 Do you know what next Saturday is?
30:50 My mom's 21st death anniversary.
30:53 I know that. Dad Li told me.
30:56 Imagine. It's been 21 years.
31:00 21 years my dad has lost her.
31:04 21 years he's cared for us.
31:06 I had a happy childhood, but he had a hard time.
31:10 And now I regret telling him that I didn't want a stepmother.
31:14 Hey, do you remember Zichuo's mom?
31:17 I do, but I didn't really see her a lot.
31:20 Just when she picked up Zichuo.
31:23 She was pretty, but she was very cold to us.
31:26 Why are you suddenly mentioning her?
31:28 Because I think she stopped seeing dad because of me.
31:32 Why do you think that?
31:33 If I wasn't a blind date,
31:35 and his daughter was being difficult, I'd run away.
31:38 Also, at that time,
31:39 Zichuo was obsessed with calling my dad his dad.
31:42 She didn't really mind.
31:43 But I was worried that after she married my dad,
31:46 he would abuse me.
31:47 I even cried myself to bed, under my blanket.
31:50 You were under your blanket eating candies.
31:53 Candies make me feel better, okay?
31:57 It's a strategy.
31:59 Sure.
32:00 I didn't get why people would want to get married.
32:05 That's why I was such a pain.
32:07 But it's all good.
32:09 My brothers are back.
32:11 And now, the three of us can be with our dads.
32:15 Let's run.
32:17 Chase that dopamine!
32:20 Hey! Come on, come on!
32:24 Run faster!
32:26 Chase that high!
32:33 Hi, aunt.
32:36 I've been working a lot.
32:39 I'll visit soon.
32:42 Okay, I'll tell dad about it.
32:44 Come over for dinner.
32:46 No, it's all right, it's all right.
32:48 Okay, I'll see you then.
32:50 All right, thank you.
32:52 Your aunt's coming?
32:54 Yeah.
32:55 She's going to the city to buy doc medicine.
32:57 So after that, she's going to come over.
33:00 I'm going to shower.
33:02 Okay.
33:04 [door opens]
33:05 [door closes]
33:10 Hey, Ling Xiao! Your phone!
33:15 Hey, it's your mom.
33:21 [phone vibrates]
33:22 You're off to Singapore?
33:37 You have a patient?
33:48 Yeah.
33:49 Coffee's on me.
33:50 Thank you.
33:51 Please put it down on the counter.
33:53 You're too formal.
33:54 We're colleagues, you know.
33:56 Do you want to watch a play tomorrow?
33:59 It's called "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land."
34:01 I'm sorry.
34:02 I'll be flying to Singapore.
34:04 You've only been here for a month.
34:06 What's this about?
34:08 That girl you like?
34:10 I'm no jinx, but long-distance relationships,
34:13 they don't work.
34:15 Yeah, I agree.
34:16 They're very hard to maintain.
34:18 But I'm lucky.
34:19 The girl that I like lives here.
34:21 She lives here?
34:22 But didn't you leave right after high school?
34:24 It happened some time before.
34:26 A schoolmate?
34:28 Something like that.
34:29 Classmate?
34:30 Two years younger.
34:32 [knock on door]
34:34 Ling Xiao! Xi Xi!
34:36 Mingyi, you're here.
34:37 Yeah, for cleaning.
34:39 Who's your doctor?
34:40 Uh, the name's Dr. Feng.
34:42 That's me.
34:45 [piano music]
34:47 Can you stop being mean to my boyfriend?
34:53 All I know is art.
34:55 What other boyfriend can I have?
34:57 I didn't bring him up.
34:59 Let's talk about him.
35:04 I know that he likes to look at girls,
35:07 but he's not really into them.
35:09 It's just like when I was still young
35:13 and he used to have a candy jar beside me.
35:15 So the girls that he looks at,
35:16 they're like the candy jar.
35:18 You understand?
35:19 If you like someone,
35:20 you don't have to get my approval.
35:22 I'm not getting your approval.
35:24 I just don't want you guys to misunderstand him.
35:26 We're not.
35:27 We honestly don't like him.
35:29 Why not?
35:31 Never mind.
35:40 Open up.
35:43 I'll see you when I get back.
35:45 Back from where?
35:47 Singapore.
35:48 [gasps]
35:49 You're going to Singapore?
35:51 I'm not gonna stay.
35:54 I just need to do something.
35:56 I'll be back before your mom's death anniversary.
35:59 Now lie down and don't move.
36:02 I'm trying to work.
36:04 Open up.
36:06 Open up.
36:10 Open up.
36:12 Ling Xiao's sister.
36:21 Did you go to school with her?
36:23 Yeah.
36:24 We were classmates.
36:25 So Ling Xiao must have been popular back then, huh?
36:28 Yeah, I guess so.
36:30 But he was very quiet
36:32 and people wouldn't approach him.
36:34 Do you know if he had a high school crush?
36:36 That's two years younger than him.
36:39 Do you know who?
36:40 Ling Xiao told you about that girl?
36:45 It came up randomly in conversation.
36:48 He said he had a crush on someone two years younger.
36:51 Two years?
36:55 Do you know her?
36:57 How would I know that?
37:00 Yeah, of course.
37:02 It's his secret.
37:06 Why would he talk to you about very personal things?
37:09 I guess we get along well.
37:12 We go out to dinner, have coffee,
37:14 and we watch plays together.
37:16 Please lie down.
37:18 Li Zhenzhen,
37:31 do you know who your brother's first love is?
37:35 Well, if she's his friend and she's two years younger,
37:38 who else but you, right?
37:40 Are you upset your brother likes me?
37:51 He's going back to Singapore.
37:54 Did you know that?
37:55 Why is he going to Singapore?
37:56 He just got here, right?
37:58 He told his mom he'd only be here for a month.
38:00 But he's coming back, right?
38:03 He said by Friday.
38:05 It's all good.
38:08 Didn't you used to like my younger brother?
38:14 Why do you have to mention that now?
38:17 You're not allowed to do that.
38:19 Don't think I won't hurt you back because you're my sister-in-law.
38:23 I don't like Zhou Chou, okay?
38:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
38:27 Okay, what's for lunch?
38:32 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:34 I'm going to the studio.
38:36 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:38 I'm going to the studio.
38:40 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:42 I'm going to the studio.
38:44 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:46 I'm going to the studio.
38:48 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:50 I'm going to the studio.
38:52 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:54 I'm going to the studio.
38:56 I'm sorry, I'm busy.
38:58 I'm going to the studio.
39:00 Didn't I tell you earlier? I said dress up a little for our lunch.
39:03 Auntie Chen has known me since I was a child.
39:06 Why do I have to dress up for her?
39:07 You're being silly, Mom!
39:10 And why choose a western restaurant?
39:13 I thought you wanted hot pot.
39:15 Chow Shan hot pot?
39:16 But at your age, don't you usually prefer to dine in places with an ambiance like this?
39:21 Oh I'm sorry. Do we have a guest?
39:26 Oh right, did your husband come with you?
39:28 No, not my husband. You see, he just went to the restroom.
39:32 It's fine, I'll tell her.
39:34 Here's the thing. When I went to Auntie Chen's office,
39:37 they had this fresh-faced new hire in their department.
39:40 So I asked about him, and I've learned that he has a master's degree.
39:44 Both his parents work for the government, and he's currently single.
39:47 Mingyi, consider your workplace.
39:49 You'll have a hard time meeting men that are your age.
39:51 So that's why I asked your Auntie Chen to invite him for lunch,
39:54 for you to get to know each other.
39:56 Mom, why didn't you tell me this was a blind date?
39:59 But it's not a blind date.
40:01 You two just have to get to know each other and be friends.
40:03 This is just like your social activities in university.
40:06 Hey, there you are. Come, sit down. Let me introduce you.
40:10 This is Mrs. Qi's daughter, Qi Mingyue.
40:13 Mingyue, this is Lu. Lu Jinyang.
40:16 Hello.
40:18 Hello.
40:19 Okay, now sit down. Lu, order whatever you want from the menu.
40:24 Here, order anything. The food here is good.
40:28 Going to the toilet? Go ahead.
40:44 Mom, I have an interview later, so I have to go.
40:48 Mrs. Chen introduced a man to you, and you leave in the middle of lunch?
40:52 Do you know how embarrassing that'll be for her?
40:55 Mom, please stop setting me up. I'm just 25. I don't need this blind date.
40:59 You were calling Mom when I was your age.
41:02 If I don't set up dates for you, where in the world are you going to find anyone suitable?
41:06 You didn't even bother to ask if there's someone I like.
41:09 Okay, then let me ask you now. Do you have someone that you're interested in?
41:13 I do.
41:14 Who is it? Do I know him?
41:17 No more nonsense, huh? Let's not play games.
41:21 I think that boy is going to be a good partner. He's an honest man.
41:24 Add him on WeChat first, okay? I've asked my friends to help you out.
41:28 Let's find another one.
41:29 But I already like someone, Mom.
41:31 Alright, bring him home and we'll see.
41:35 Sure, I'll bring him home to you. Don't underestimate me.
41:38 Alright, I'll be waiting, okay?
41:41 And that plan of yours to work in Beijing, give it up. No ifs or buts.
41:46 Prepare for the civil service exam.
41:48 Mom!
41:49 I've already made the decision, alright?
41:51 Now go to the bathroom and come back to finish the meal.
41:54 No.
