[The Day of Becoming You]

[Episode 23]

I'll get going now
if there's nothing else.

I'll put my best effort into this article.

Old friend, wait.

Is there anything else?

Just get over here.

Tell me what it's about first.

I have something

to show you.

Or else,

you'd have to edit Xu Shu Yi's

article later.

[Hi,]

[Little Seedlings.]

[Lately, something unpleasant]

[has happened on the Internet.]

[I would like to use this]

[as a way to talk to you all.]

[As a matter of fact,]

[I've always had a habit.]

[Which is]

[to write down the kindness that I've]

[received from others in a notebook.]

[These four pages are all about Shu Yi.]

[It's all about the kindness,]

[support and help that]

[I'd received from her.]

[That's how]

[we became friends,]

[as opposed to those stories]

[that were taken out of context online.]

I haven't posted it.

Keep watching.

[I always believe that]

[you must treat others]

[the way you want to be treated.]

[Before]

[you want to say mean things,]

[put yourself in her shoes.]

[If you were the one]

[who's being attacked,]

[would you be able to]

[take the criticism?]

[I've always wanted to be]

[as bright as the warm sunshine.]

[I hope my little seedlings]

[will let the sunshine in]

[and have a heart of gold as well.]

[Lastly,]

[I'd like to say something to Xu Shu Yi.]

[I'm sorry]

[for putting you in trouble.]

[Good luck!]

The publicity department

told me to upload it at 3 p.m.

I spoiled it for you now.

If you post it,

it will go against your public image.

I dote on my fans,
but I refuse to indulge them.

I dote on them

because I want to treat them well.

But if I keep indulging them,

it'll only do them bad.

Some of my fans are still immature

and they need proper guidance.

At such times,

they need a warm sunshine

like me

to step up

and guide them.

It's a nice thought.

But these immature fans

will easily turn against you.

Are you fine with that?

Never mind.

I'm better off without a fan like this.

I don't want to be

their puppet.

At worst, I'd just quit.

Hello, Brother.

I saw Le Yi and you

reposted Jia Shu's post on Weibo.

Did you coordinate with each other?

Of course we did.

This morning,

Jia Shu told us

about his idea.

We figured it's a good idea

and so we decided to do it.

Jiang Da Chuan agreed to this too?

He didn't,

but there were three against one.

There was nothing he could do.

Jia Shu is so cool.

[No wonder he's my idol.]

What about me?

You're cooler than him.

No wonder you're my boyfriend.

[You have no idea.]

Before you guys made a response,

I dared not talk back to my colleagues

when they were ragging on you.

I know what was happening

but I couldn't help feeling bad for you.

Aren't you working
on the articles already?

Tong Tong is proofreading the article now.

Don't worry,

I can get off work on time

[and go meet your mum with you.]

But

the thought of meeting your mum

makes me so nervous.

What should I do?

It's not like you're meeting my parent.

Why are you nervous?

Just tell her you're my friend.

I'll play it by ear then.

I'll pick you up later.

Okay.

Bye.

[Jiang Dong Hai]

Hello?

Brother,

you're indeed a man of your word.

I'm not meeting your parent,

I'm meeting my own mother.

Why would you switch bodies with me?

This isn't your first time meeting her

on my behalf anyway.

But it turned out badly last time.

You two are too similar to each other.

She barely spoke and just
let the conversation die.

If

your mum dislikes me,

it won't be good for me.

Are you worried about

your bond with your mother-in-law?

No! What are you talking about?

Actually, I'm looking for a change.

All these years,

every time we talked over the phone

or met up in person,

we never said much to each other.

We didn't know what to say.

I figured if you were me,

it might be different this time.

I'd love to let go of the past,

relax and move forward.

Besides, didn't you say

switching bodies is a superpower?

It'd be such a waste not to use it.

Fair point.

Don't worry, I'll help you.

I'm very good at pleasing elders.

I'll use your body

to approach Aunty.

I'll surely

bring you two closer together.

Pleasing?

Of course.

If you want to

improve your relationship with her,

one of you has to

take the first step.

I changed my mind.

We should

switch back later.

It's too late,

that ship has sailed.

Coming!

Xiao Yi, you're back.

She's my girlfriend, Yu Sheng Sheng.

Sheng Sheng, this is my mum.

I remember you.

We met before.

Hi, Aunty.

Hi.

Come on in.

Here you go, Ms. Yu.

Thank you.

Have some tea first.

I'll be in the kitchen.

What's the smell?

It smells good.

This is chicken soup.

It's going to take a while.

I can tell it's delicious from the smell.

Sheng Sheng likes chicken soup too.

Really?

That's great.

Ms. Yu,

is there anything

you'd like to eat?

I'm fine with anything.

I didn't know you were
coming with Xiao Yi.

I've only prepared the food

he loved when he was young.

It's okay,

we share the same taste in food.

That's good.

Excuse me,

I need to take this call.

Take good care of Ms. Yu.

Have some fruits.

Sure.

Watch your expression.

The same to you.

Stop pulling a long face.

I thought we agreed to
introduce you as my friend?

Why the change of mind?

I'll look around.

Even when you were little,

you had thick brows.

You had a big head.

You looked cute

when you were young.

How old were you?

Probably five years old.

Happy birthday?

Why would you cry

on your birthday?

[Mummy is coming back soon.]

[My mum was very busy.]

[She always worked overtime.]

[That day, I waited a long time for her.]

[A really long time.]

[Bottles fell and broke on the floor]

[and I was weeping bitterly.]

It's been too long.

I only had some flashes of memory.

After all, they fought every day.

It wasn't uncommon for me to cry.

This home

is full of my unpleasant memories.

Perhaps I shouldn't be here.

Alright.

You're

in Yu Sheng Sheng's body now.

Don't be too engaged in Jiang Yi's memory.

Think about this.

Yu Sheng Sheng has
such a good personality.

She's very pretty

and adorable as well.

Now that you're inside her body,

you can get off on the right foot

with your mother.

Are you trying to make me feel better

or complimenting yourself?

I'm complimenting myself.

Take it

as an effort to build a bond

with my future mother-in-law.

Sit here for a while.

I need to buy a bottle of soy sauce.

I've prepared the ingredients.

It won't take long.

I'll buy it for you.

Take a break first.

Never mind.

I'll go.

It's inconvenient for you.

It's okay, I'm wearing a mask.

Have a little chat with my mum.

Take a seat, Ms. Yu.

Take a seat.

Ms. Yu,

can I call you Sheng Sheng?

Sure.

How long have you been together

with Xiao Yi?

Half a month.

But we've known
each other for a long time.

I know everything about him.

We like each other very much.

I can tell.

Xiao Yi likes you very much,

or else he wouldn't

have brought you here.

At that time, I fought

with his dad at the villa.

It must have given you

a bad impression.

I hope you don't mind that.

It's okay.

Jiang Yi told me

the two of you fought a lot

before the divorce.

We did.

We aren't

good parents

and it's left a detrimental impact

on Xiao Yi.

Why did you even get married?

Sheng Sheng,

I don't mind telling you this.

When I was young,

I didn't know anything

other than my studies.

I was in a state of confusion.

At that time,

Xiao Yi's dad

was good looking

and well-spoken.

I really liked him

and so we got together.

But many conflicts emerged

after our marriage.

Hence, fighting

became a part of our routine.

No wonder.

Jiang Yi said that he remembered

you two arguing constantly.

He even spent his birthday

crying.

This photo was taken

on his fifth birthday.

It wasn't because

we were fighting.

Really?

But I remember

Jiang Yi telling me that.

Xiao Yi was wrong.

Let me show you a video

and you'll understand.

[Xiao Yi,]

[we'll record a video]

[of you blowing the candles]

[and eating the cake.]

Dad?

Why isn't Mum back yet?

She should be here any minute.

What took you so long?

Xiao Yi is getting impatient.

I took a day off

but

my colleague had something else to do.

Xiao Yi, I'm sorry

I'm late.

My little prince looks so handsome today!

Happy birthday!

Why did you prepare beers?

It's our son's birthday.

I'm happy.

Don't drink too much.

Did you get hurt?

Are you okay?

Be careful.

Clean it up quickly.

You're bleeding!

Get up.

Go treat your wound.

I'll take care of the rest.

Go.

Xiao Yi, stay still.

Stay still.

Let's keep going.

Try the meat.

You're growing.

Mummy is hurt.

It's okay, it doesn't hurt.

Why don't you

play the harmonica for me?

It'll make the pain go away.

Really?

Yes.

Why are you crying?

Let me take a picture of you crying.

All right.

I'll stop the recording.

Xiao Yi's been very sweet
since he was young.

The netizens said

he always pulled a long face
and didn't smile.

It's all

because I'm such a failure

as a parent.

You use the harmonica song

as your ringtone.

You noticed that?

I created it myself.

I've been using it

as my ringtone

for many years.

And I keep this video

on my phone all the time.

I'll watch it whenever I feel tired

as it gives me strength.

You loved him so much

and yet you chose to leave him.

Have you ever regretted that?

No.

We all

have multiple identities

and missions in this world.

But we only have

limited energy and capability.

It's hard enough

to be good at one thing.

My career

is what I've been dreaming about.

I want to make some contribution

to

the development of science.

And I happened

to have the talent and capability.

If I have to do it over again,

I still won't give up.

So Jiang Yi

deserved to be abandoned, is it?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Xiao Yi must have

told you about

his grievances, right?

I know you feel sorry for him.

Even though I don't regret it,

I regret that

I couldn't be around him

when he grew up.

It weighs heavily on my mind like a stone.

No matter how successful my career is,

I'll always be a failure as a parent.

No matter how much Xiao Yi

blames and hates me,

I can take it.

Sorry,

I got a bit carried away there.

It's your first time here

and yet I kept talking about

sad stuff.

Stay here for a while,

I'll go check if the soup is ready.

Why are you out here?

To pick you up.

You're afraid I'd get lost?

What's wrong?

Did you fight with her?

Right,

you're Yu Sheng Sheng.

I shouldn't have left you

alone in the house.

We didn't fight.

It's just that

I heard

and learnt a couple of things

that are different from

what I remembered.

Turns out

I used to be surrounded by love too.

But it was

hidden behind my sad memories.

Perhaps

your past injury is real,

but their love for you is real as well.

Do you feel better now?

I'm not as sad as before.

At least,

I wasn't always

an extra person.

But as I looked at my mum...

When I was young,

I had to keep my head up to look at her.

I thought she'd forever be young,

full of strength

and impenetrable.

But as I looked at her just now,

I suddenly realized that

she's just an ordinary person

who will feel sad,

get old and make mistakes.

Alright,

don't think too much.

Let's go inside.

Sheng Sheng,

let's switch back now.

There's something I need to
settle for myself.

Let's switch back then.

Dinner is ready!

Mum, let me do it.

Okay.

I'm not very particular
about the food's appearance.

It doesn't look nice in the photo, right?

It looks good, Aunty.

They look delicious.

I'll forget

about dieting tonight.

Her dad is a chef.

Really?

Please don't laugh at my food.

My dad is a chef

but I'm not.

The only thing I can make
is omelette rice.

Her dad said

she can go home

anytime she wants to eat something good.

It smells so good.

I'll try the soup.

It's hot.

I'll try the vegetables then.

Dig in.

Suit yourself.

Here you go.

Thanks, Aunty.

It's delicious!

It tastes better than my dad's food.

You are so sweet.

I mean it!

This was Xiao Yi's

favourite dish when he was little.

Here.

Help yourself

to the food.

Give me that.

I want more.

How is it?

It still tastes the same.

It's delicious.

Eat more if you like it.

So are you.

Make yourself at home.

Have some more.

Aunty, you should dig in too.

Sure.

Mum, eat some vegetables.

Aunty, try the prawn.

You should try the prawn too.

Do you want me to peel the prawn?

You want to peel?

Sure.

I'll peel the prawn for Aunty too.

You don't have to.

I'll do it then.

Who do you think

can peel faster?

I'm done.

You're fast.

Can you please take

responsibility for your family?

Can you behave like a man?

I don't behave like a man?

You think you're behaving like a woman?

Xiao Yi is still young,

yet you want to go overseas

and leave Xiao Yi here.

You're so heartless.

How many times do I need to tell you?

This is a rare opportunity.

Don't even give me that.

The fact lies before you.

You don't want to
take care of Xiao Yi too.

All these years,

Xiao Yi has been

raising your family for nothing.

Don't you feel ashamed at all?

What do you mean by that?

Xiao Yi doesn't want us

to work

because he's a filial son.

So many years have passed

but you're still

so shameless.

The same to you.

Why did you come back?

You're old now

and you want your son to attend to you,

right?

Back then, you tried

getting rid of us for your dream,

didn't you?

I know I owe

Xiao Yi a lot.

But I'm not like you.

You're insatiable!

Did you get hurt?

Be careful.

It's okay.

Clean it up quickly.

You're bleeding.

Alright,

go treat your wound.

I'll take care of the rest.

Aunty,

let me do the dishes.

I need to do some exercise.

Go have a chat over tea.

Well...

Go.

Well...

Sheng Sheng

is such a nice girl.

I noticed

you seem more cheerful

after you got together with her.

I'll take you to the airport tomorrow.

Can you do that?

Sure.

Okay.

Xiao Yi.

It's been so long

since we

had a proper meal

together like this.

I'm really happy.

All this while,

I'm not

very good with words.

And you

like to keep things

to yourself.

Actually, I know

you have resentment towards me.

I'm also aware

of everything

I had put you through.

I want to say that

I'm sorry.

Though it might be too late

for me to apologize.

Indeed, it's too late.

We missed the best time

to care for each other.

I know.

That's why I

never expect you to forgive me.

Mum.

Actually,

not every mistake needs to be forgiven.

Although we'd missed

the best time,

it's not the end of our relationship.

Besides, it's not like our relationship

could get any worse than this.

Mum.

Since you'd made

your choice back then,

you should move forward with ease.

I'm doing well.

I hope you can be happy too.

Thank you, Xiao Yi.

Thank you.

You look

a lot like your mum.

Isn't that normal?

How do you feel today?

It feels good

to let yourself go.

Thank you.

Right,

what did my mum tell you

in the room?

She said she's grateful to me

and she hopes we'd stay together.

I thought

she wanted to give me an heirloom.

You're so eager to become
her daughter-in-law.

I just wanted to

take some advantage.

I have something to tell you.

Go on.

I received a call from my dad.

Jiang Mo said that

a stranger showed up

with your photo

and talked to her.

My photo?

Why?

I guess he's targeted you.

Is that why

you didn't pick me up

at the company today?

You shouldn't send me home then.

It's dangerous.

I'm sorry.

Why would you apologize to me?

This isn't your fault.

Why would he target me?

Right,

why would he target you?

Jiang Yi and I analysed the situation.

It must be

the paparazzi who sold his photos

to Zhang Zhi Xiao.

I was there when he took photos

of Jiang Mo.

That's why he tried to get something

out of Jiang Mo.

Weren't you

wearing a mask?

Yes.

I don't get it either.

Is there any chance that

he knew it from someone around Jiang Yi?

No.

I guess he isn't sure whether

Jiang Yi and I are
in a relationship either.

He didn't want to waste his time on me,

that's why he went to Jiang Mo.

That makes sense.

The paparazzi usually go to the places

that are popular among the celebrities.

You weren't their target

and so Jiang Yi was less careful

when he came over.

Yes.

That's why I feel even worse.

What should we do now?

Jiang Yi went to
Jiang Da Chuan for advice.

And we decided not to see
each other too often.

We'll wait and see how it goes.

It's better to be safe.

I'm in a relationship but I have to

keep worrying about paparazzi

and switching bodies.

This is so annoying.

[Wonderful Media]

Sister Zhi Xiao,

I bought coffee for you.

Spit it out, what do you want?

Little Galaxy's manager, Jiang Da Chuan,

you know him, right?

I do, why?

Someone sold Jiang Yi's photos

to you before, right?

He wants to meet that person.

Why? He wants to take revenge on him?

What are you thinking?

We live in a lawful society.

I guess the agency

wants to build a good relationship

with the paparazzi.

Are you very familiar with Jiang Da Chuan?

I met him several times.

He approached me

and so I had to pass his message.

If he wants to return the favour,

I'll share it with you.

You posted the article about Xu Shu Yi

with perfect timing.

Is it because you had

the inside scoop beforehand?

How could we possibly get

any information of an unexpected event?

You knew we were

working on the article.

All we needed to do
was to add some content.

It's easy.

That's all I needed to tell you.

Just ask him when you have time.

It doesn't matter if he says no.

I'll get back to work now.

Thanks for your help.

Jiang Da Chuan.

That's what I told

Zhang Zhi Xiao.

But I don't know

whether that person

is willing to show up.

It's okay,

Jiang Da Chuan is just

trying to see if there's

another way to settle this.

I know.

I guess that person

has got nothing,

or he would've posted it already.

[He wouldn't have gone to Jiang Mo.]

[Don't worry too much.]

You stole my line again.

Fine, I'll act gentle next time

and let you comfort me.

What are you doing now?

I'm on the way home

to tell my parents about us.

Now?

[Yes.]

Just in case...

Just in case

he has our photos

and my parents find out that

we're dating from the news,

I'll be doomed.

You're right.

I'm sorry,

I can't go back with you

this time.

It's okay.

I have a helper.

[Is it Tong Hua?]

Yes.

[I'll talk to you later.]

Bye.

Bye.

If your parents were to disapprove of you

dating a celebrity,

what would you do?

I'll tell them

I'm pregnant then.

When did this happen?

How far along are you?

Stop it!

I'm so nervous right now.

I need to figure out

a way to tell them.

Jiang Da Chuan wants to meet me?

And he asked Yu Sheng Sheng
to pass the message?

It's nearly a month

since the incident.

It seems strange for him

to meet you now, doesn't it?

I made a mistake.

What?

Nothing.

Curly,

is it because you've

captured something

but it was leaked out by someone?

And Jiang Da Chuan wants to
suppress it now?

You know

I always

work alone.

I'd never work

with any talent agency.

They have too many tricks.

If I'm not careful enough,

it might turn into blackmail.

I just want to earn money the safest way.

You really have evidence

that Jiang Yi has a girlfriend?

Zhi Xiao,

stop asking about this.

This story is not for you.

We'll work together

if there's a new story next time.

Fine,

I'll get going now.

Stop following him.

It's over.

I spook them.

That's all we can get from them.

We'll just make up

the rest of the story.

Aunty,

go watch TV with Uncle.

Sheng Sheng and I will

take care of this.

Sure.

Here you go.

Tong Hua,

you never eat much

when you're here.

Are you eating enough?

I'm full already.

Don't tell me you're hungry later.

Why aren't you telling them?

There was no right time.

I didn't want to spoil their appetite.

It'll be dawn by the time you find

the right timing.

You're exaggerating.

Let's wait a little longer.

Just act accordingly later.
