A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 21

Daoming Si agreed to date me.

I'm not sure how it happened so fast.

I originally wanted to come
and ask you. Then...

Hey.

Monkey.

Who are you calling Monkey?

Xiaozi. I want to tell you something.

I'm not listening to you.
I know what you're going to say.

You want to say
that you don't like me, right?



You also sent your friends
to date me today, right?

Do you think that would make me back out?

You're wrong.

-My strongest point is perseverance.
-Let's date.

Hey.

Is that okay?

What did you say?

All right.

Yes.

Yes.

He said he'd try to like me.

I'm really touched.

I'm not sure why I'm so happy.

I just realized



that I really like him.

Shancai.

Are you happy for me?

I knew you'd succeed.

You're not mad, right?

No.

Nutrition refers to the calories
contained in the food

as well as other components
good for our health.

Humans consume food
to obtain enough nutrients.

After food consumption

and going through digestion,
absorption, and metabolism,

the body utilizes the substances it needs
to maintain life-sustaining activities.

Through proper nutrition,
a lot of diseases can be prevented.

I brought my Grandma's banana rice balls.

See you later.

Those are the human's six basic elements
for sustaining life.

Do you know what the six elements are?

They are carbohydrates,

protein, fats, minerals,

vitamins.

I heard that Si asked
that monkey to date him.

Si and Monkey.

I can't imagine it.

Her name is Xiaozi.

As his friend, you guys should be happy
that he's starting to become mature.

Shancai.

Why do you seem unaffected by this?

Don't you feel upset?

Shancai!

I finally found you.

I brought you lunch today.

Let's eat together.

Didn't you say you especially like

-my Grandma's rice balls?
-Shut up.

Eat your rice balls.

Do you want some? It's really good.

No.

My grandma made this for you.

You can't share it with others.

How does it taste?

Will we get an upset stomach from this?

It's sticky.

It's delicious.

Where did Daoming Si go?

Where's Meizuo?

Meizuo was just here earlier.

I'm not sure where he went.

Si should be on a date
with his girlfriend.

What?

Daoming Si has a girlfriend?

Your smile looks so ugly.

I wonder how Si and that monkey is doing.

Si, why are you walking so fast?

-Are we having a race?
-You're so noisy.

I hate walking slowly.

Is this even a date?

What's the difference from before?

I was so looking forward to today's date.

But you won't even look at me.
And you're not saying anything.

Why are we even together?

What do you want me to do?

First of all, you have to match my pace.

Then you have to smile.

Lastly, you have to talk to me.

Why is it so hard?

-Hey, what are you doing?
-What?

So what?

You're my boyfriend.

Si.

I'm so happy because you said
you'd try to like me.

Is that true?

I told you I'll try.

Then when will you try?

It's not something that can
be done quickly.

Give me an estimate.

-Around--
-How would I know?

One day, it will happen.

As of now, even though Xiaozi's
the one initiating it,

but she and Si would meet
two or three times a week.

It seems Si is a bit enlightened.

What about Shancai?

Does she still bother Si?

The situation is,

aside from school, Si and Shancai
don't have much contact.

Though, Xiaozi often talks to Shancai.

You mean Xiaozi initiates it?

What are they up to?

Xiaozi seems quite naive.

It seems she'll tell Shancai details
about her relationship

with Si.

This girl Shancai
has too many tricks up her sleeve.

I think she hasn't given up on Si yet.

This is quite good too.

Try it.

Open the door.

Shancai.

Xiaozi?

Why are you here?

What's up?

Who is it?

It smells so good. Are you having dinner?

Hi, good evening.

Shancai, is she your friend?

Come, have a seat and eat with us.

Can I?

-Sure.
-Sit down. I'll get you a bowl.

Thank you, Mrs. Dong.

This is great.

I haven't had dinner here before.

Here.

These are just simple dishes.

Can I try them?

Of course.

These are delicious.

Come on. Try it.

-Thank you, Mr. Dong.
-You're welcome.

-It's delicious.
-Really?

Then have some more. Try the others.

-Here.
-Okay, thanks.

Shancai, why are you standing there?

Come here.

Okay.

I'll try this one.

Have some more.

Get some more of this.

Mrs. Dong, you cook so well.

You know,

I woke up so early in the morning
to do my makeup and get dressed.

I even took out all my clothes
from my closet.

That's right.

I also used a new lipstick color.

I think he never even looked
at my lipstick.

I'm not sure if he noticed it.

Shancai.

Are you listening?

Yes.

By the way,
I took him to the park for a walk today.

That park is so romantic, you know?

I think men should make a move
at those moments.

But,

you know, he didn't even kiss me.

Aside from that,
we just sat there silently.

We're not like lovers at all, right?

Do I really need to hear her rants?

Shancai.

Have you and Daoming Si ever kissed?

You have.

You have, right?

Tell me honestly.

I...

Tell me.

Does he still like you?

Don't think like that.

It's not like that.

Sorry, Shancai.

Maybe I'm too impatient.

And I've been so sheltered
since I was little.

I've never experienced these things.

I don't know how to handle it.

I just think that this love is so painful.

I'm not sure if Daoming Si likes me.

Si's fiancée rants to you every night?

She must have ulterior motives.

No.

I think she's really worried.

Huaze Lei, talk to Daoming Si.

Tell him to treat Xiaozi better
or else she'd rant to me every day.

Do you think he'll listen to me?

We shouldn't interfere.

It's either they get along or they don't.

We can't do anything about it.

That's true.

-But--
-Stop it.

Si can handle his own problems.

I don't intend to know
what happens between them.

But Xiaozi tells me about her
and Daoming Si daily.

I don't want to know.

Shancai.

Aren't you the last person
who should be involved in this?

In the same way,

I also shouldn't suggest
or encourage Si to be nicer to Xiaozi.

If I did that,

people would think I have
ulterior motives.

Do you understand that?

-Huaze Lei--
-Let's go to class.

Si.

What?

Didn't I tell you not to come here?

I'm really going to be mad
if you're so unreasonable.

Why can't I come here?
I'm your girlfriend.

Can't you be nicer to me?

She doesn't seem like Si's girlfriend.

I think they're having an argument.

Let's not stay here.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to kiss me.

Kiss me now.

What?

Do you still like Shancai?

You're always deep in thought
when you're with me.

I'm not sure what you're thinking about.

But it's irresponsible
to let your girlfriend...

feel insecure.

I want proof.

If you don't like Shancai, then kiss me.

Close your eyes.

Didn't you want Si to be nicer to Xiaozi?

You don't need to be worried now.

Why are you so quiet?

Do you feel upset?

Upset? Who's upset?

I think this is good.
That's what I hoped would happen.

I feel like I'm having

vacations for New Year, summer,
and winter all together.

No.

That's not enough to describe
my excitement.

I should say I'm as ecstatic

as when my mom sold a year's worth
of bento boxes in one day.

I'm so happy I'm crying.

-Really?
-Why?

You blab nonstop whenever someone
guesses what you're thinking.

I don't.

Don't act like
you're a psychologist, okay?

It'd be great if you're that focused
in class.

Hey.

Your bag.

You kissed her when she asked you to.
What a happy ending.

All right. Great.

Don't ever bother me again.

Just be with Xiaozi.

I wish you'd be together forever.

Hey, Shancai.

What's the matter?

Why is your face all wrinkled?

Is it?

What happened?

I'm so stupid.

I believe anything anyone says.

I'm too self-righteous.

I ended up being played.

How funny.

I'm really a fool.

How can you say that?

That's because you believe
everyone is nice.

After what Li Zhen
and Shunping did to you,

you still forgave them.

You're that nice.

Is that so?

Of course. I like you...

because of that.

Really?

Yes. I like you because of that.

It's not too late as long as I find out

at the right time.

Hey.

Shancai.

I need to get back on my feet.

If I think about it,
I'm just going back to being alone.

Let bygones be bygones.

You're not alone.

You have me.

Qinghe.

Thank you.

Shancai...

It's a good thing you're by my side.

You're like a brother to me.

I'll get going.

Bye.

Bye.

What?

Why am I like her brother?

We heard it through the grapevine.

Fang added more yesterday too.

Yes, one hundred thousand yuan.

And I've decided to add more this time.

Absolutely.

Members and employees
get the same information.

Trust me.

Okay.

It seems Dad's investment consulting
work is going smoothly.

I think so.

The investment return is big.

So your dad put all our savings into it.

-Does it really earn a lot?
-It's a sure win.

Many members earned a lot

and asked me to re-invest
their money again.

It's that good?

What are you doing?

How are things going between you
and Daoming Si?

Nothing's going on.

He already has a girlfriend.

He has a girlfriend? Who?

The one who always visits us, Xiaozi.

Xiaozi?

Daoming Si is so strange.

He's dating a girl
that came out of nowhere.

It's so infuriating.

Mom.

She came from a well-known family.

I'm the one who came out of nowhere.

That's not true.

You came from us.

Just look at yourself.

-That's right.
-Look at your sharp nose.

A straight nose and a wide mouth.

What a coincidence.

Can we have tea together?

Are you still mad?

No, I'm not mad anymore.

But I'm warning you.

Don't judge me again.

It's cold. You should wear
something warmer.

Do you still have class later?

No. I'm done for the day.

This is for you.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I just feel that it's so cold outside.

But it's warmer to have coffee
with a friend.

It would be better
if we can soak in hot springs.

Do you like hot springs?

You've never mentioned that before.

Shancai is over there.

Let's go.

Come on.

Shancai, can we join you?

We're not interrupting your date, right?

No, we're not...

This is Huaze Lei.

We just met coincidentally.

He's Huaze Lei?

Come here.

Hi.

I'm Si's fiancée.

My name is He Yuanzi.

Just call me Xiaozi.

This feels so nice.

It's like we're on a double date.

You're talking too much nonsense.

Why are you so angry?

Sorry. He's just shy.

It's fine. We're used to it.

Earlier, he said he's bored

and wants to go home.

I told him we can just go to a hotel.

He ran away afterward.

I was just teasing him.

But we kissed already.

We can go further now.

Monkey.

Stop your nonsense.

What's the problem?

She likes you so much.

You should be glad.

That's right.

Shancai thinks so too.

By the way, we have a nice resort hotel
in the mountains.

You don't have class tomorrow.

Do you want to go there?

No thanks.

You two can go alone.

Huaze Lei, we shouldn't be
third-wheeling here.

-Do you have hot springs?
-Yes.

Our hot springs are the best.

I'm going then.

All right. It's set then.

Let's go now.

Ma'am.

Any new developments?

Si and Xiaozi will go to the He Group's
Hot Springs Hotel tonight.

Xiaozi is so smart.

She's a fast learner.

But Huaze Lei and Shancai went with them.

How did that happen?

They met at a coffee shop.

Then went to the hot springs
hotel together.

Shancai always lingers around them.

What is she planning to do?

You said Shancai was with Huaze Lei.

Then they all went to the hotel, right?

Yes.

Maybe she thinks

that there's no more hope with Si
so she's now working on Huaze Lei.

She might give up when she sees how good

Si and Xiaozi are doing.

Why aren't you eating?

This restaurant is really good.

Look.

I think you two really look good together.

Si, why are you drinking so much?

Lei.

Say something.

-What should I say?
-Anything you want.

Can I soak in the hot springs?

Of course.

Turn right to go to the pool for men.

Shancai, do you want to go too?

They have a lover's pool here.

There's no need.

By the way, the guy you mentioned

that's quiet and looks dull

is him, right?

Yes.

She likes him a lot.

I guessed right.

Si.

Let's soak in the hot springs too.

I'm not going.

Never mind.

I'll go with Shancai.

Let's go.

It feels so nice.

Shancai.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I was just thinking

that your hot spring is great.

Thank you.

I think we're living our dreams now.

Going to a sauna with a close friend,
having a meal and chatting together.

I'm so happy now.

I haven't done this for a while either.

Shancai.

It's so good to know you.

By the way, you have to be
a bridesmaid at our wedding.

Me?

There's no need.

Just enjoy yourselves.

Why not?

No. You have to be the bridesmaid.

You know,

when I'm with Si,

I tell myself

that I can't expect him to be
an ordinary boyfriend.

Or else, I'd be so disappointed.

But he's actually quite nice sometimes.

He'd be with me if I ask him to.

Shancai.

I know I'm annoying.

If you want to run away,

I'll chase after you.

If you run to Mars,

I'll go there too.

I can't breathe.

I feel so heavy.

I thought I could really
find closure this time

and run away from Daoming Si.

But why does it feel
like I'm getting more involved?

Shancai.

Shancai, what's the matter?

Shancai.

Shancai fainted in the sauna.

I feel so miserable.

So miserable.

Drink some water.

I have a bad headache.
What happened to me?

You fainted in the sauna.

Get some rest. You'll be fine.

You were the one who brought me here?

You saw everything?

I helped you get dressed, didn't I?

You helped me get dressed...

Then you saw everything
while helping me...

What else can I do?

Can't you ask a girl to help me?

Where's Xiaozi?

-I want to talk to her.
-Never mind.

Don't interrupt them.

You're right.

You can stop them if you want.

I can help you break down the door.

Why should I stop them?

Because you look like you're going
to cry all the time.

Why did you agree to come here?

You made things so complicated.

Why should we be here?

Since we already saw them,

should we just pretend we didn't?

Si.

Si, did you hear me?

What is it? You're no noisy.

My mom told me to move
to your house next semester.

We can get to know
each other better this way.

It's fine if you want to get
your Master's degree

before we get married.

You're just going to follow
your parents' plan?

Don't you feel such a life
would be so boring?

What do you mean?

Haven't you already decided to like me?

All right.

I won't ask if you don't want to tell me.

But now...

Thank you, Lei.

For what?

Thanks for saving me in the sauna today.

I just finished soaking
in the hot springs.

Xiaozi screamed saying that you fainted.

What an impatient person.

And very intense.

In some ways,
she's very similar to Daoming Si.

If you think about it,
they're not that similar.

No one can beat Si's personality.

You're right.

You finally smiled.

What do you mean, "finally"?

You were frowning the whole day.

I've been this way since my first day
in Mingde University.

Not just today.

Is your fighting spirit back?

That's good.

That's the Shancai I know.

You were so sad earlier.

Stop it.

Hit me.

Take it out on me
if that would make you happy.

Who says I'm not happy?

Don't deny it.

Just like on the rooftop before,

Huaze Lei can always calm me down
when I'm most tired and confused.

Daoming Si.

I'm telling you.

Even though I tease you a lot,

I'm serious about this.

Don't you feel anything?

No.

Is that so?

Or do you want me

-to wear see-through stuff?
-Xiaozi.

I know! You must not like bathrobes.

-Do you like other styles?
-Listen to me.

-I'm not listening!
-Shancai is all I think about.

I told you that I'd try to like you.

But I'm really sorry.

-I'm not listening!
-I can't be with you!

What's that sound?

I think it's from Si's room.

You think Daoming Si
is forcing himself on her?

I think it's the opposite.

I still want to take a look to be sure.

Xiaozi.

Sorry to disturb you.

You saw something you shouldn't have?

Do whatever you want.

Beat me up until you're satisfied.

Do you know

how much I want to really beat you up?

I want to beat you up until you remember
the pain every time you think of me.

Until you can't ever forget me.

But Daoming Si,

I couldn't bear to hit you.

I don't feel like myself anymore,
you know?

I'm really sorry.

I couldn't sleep.

I was awake the whole night.

I had the worst timing.

I shouldn't have seen that.

I didn't want to interfere with them.

I feel so miserable.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm becoming more and more clumsy
in front of Daoming Si.

Our boisterous fighting days are gone.

It might be

because our relationship has changed.

I don't feel awkward with Huaze Lei now.

But if it's Daoming Si,

I wouldn't be able to sleep
while holding hands with him.

What's the matter?

I'm going home.

Tell Lei.

Xiaozi.

I should get going.

Is that so?

I want to stay here longer.

I'll ask the driver to take you back.

There's no need. Thanks.

I met Daoming Si earlier.

He said he was going home.

Oh, yes.

Maybe he's feeling shy.

Since...

Last night, we...

He might be feeling shy.

I'll get going then.

Thank you.

Don't you feel anything?

No.

Is that so?

Or do you want me

-to wear see-through stuff?
-Xiaozi.

-I shouldn't be so direct.
-Listen to me.

-I'm not listening!
-Shancai is all I think about.

I told you that I'd try to like you.

But I'm really sorry.

-I'm not listening!
-I can't be with you!
