[The Day of Becoming You]

[Episode 9]

What's the matter?
You're scared?

You've got to be joking.

I've never been afraid.

Then let's take a shot at it.

Go ahead then.

Game on.

What's up with you yesterday?

You dad was a better drinker than I am.

I'm not asking about that.

I'm asking about

your attitude towards Shen Po Qing.

What kind of attitude do you mean?

Someone's getting defensive.

A few days back when we switched,

did he wrong you?

Get your facts right.

He made me an imaginary rival first

and acted hostile towards me.

Why would he

make you his imaginary rival?

That's normal.

A guy so brilliant

and attractive

is around his girlfriend.

Anyone would feel threatened.

You feel bad for him?

You've agreed to be his girlfriend for me.

So you should

feel bad for him as well.

When did I do that

for you?

You didn't?

Why would I make that decision for you?

But you said

you'd let us be together

and wished us happiness.

When did I say that?

You forgot?

Back when your sister
was sent to my place,

you called me in rage.

Didn't you make out

that I said those things out of anger?

I'm sorry.

I didn't

make things clear back then.

But I think

Shen Po Qing's not bad.

Perhaps try to mingle with him
for two days first?

Or if you don't want to,

I'll help you break up with him now.

I'll do it right now.

Forget it.

Forget it?

My parents, my colleagues,

and his colleagues

all know we're together now.

Breaking up just after two days

will make me look like a psycho.

The important thing is

he's really not too bad.

Since I've promised him,

we'll try to date first.

Maybe it'll turn into the real thing.

You eat up.

I'm off to work.

[Jiang Da Chuan]

Really?

What do you expect me to say?

You're a famous artist

getting drunk

and crashing at

a female entertainment reporter's house.

If she took photos of you

and made something up,

I'll be in deep water

and you'll lose your fans.

Yi.

I'm not exaggerating here.

Nothing could be worse than this.

There is.

You slept with her?

She's pregnant?

Stop making wild guesses.

It's been resolved.

No, wait.

Yi, be honest with me.

Does she have

any leverage over you?

If not,

you're simply spoiling her.

You took her to your house.

You hid that from me

and did her interview along with Le Yi.

Yesterday I offered

to make you my signature dish
but you refused it.

The minute she mentioned how good
her father's cooking was,

you went straight to his restaurant.

Is my cooking

not up to par with her father's?

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Don't forget

you were the one who forced me

to accept Yu Sheng Sheng's interview.

I'm regretting it now.

[Have you cleared things up]

[with Jiang Da Chuan?]

[Also, work something out]

[about the walnuts.]

[I'll try my best to accommodate.]

[I can't always be in your debt.]

[It must be reasonable.]

I'm finally back.

Slippers.

Thanks.

Home sweet home.

No nagging, no medicinal food,

and no little kids.

Little kids?

Nothing.

I'm just free and at peace here.

It's as if the good life

is waving right at me now.

Shu Shu.

Have you been good

while I was gone?

With that kind of name,

you expect it to be nice?

Darling.

Stop your insinuations.

Darling.

I've not been insinuating.

I've always been up front with you.

Alright, fine.

You've got a friend

who is Jia Shu's classmate.

He's bad at making a living

and lacks common sense.

I can even memorize it now.

When will you have him over?

So we can battle it out.

He's not in the country now.

I'm just joking.

No celebrity

can make everyone a fan.

That's true.

Don't you hate Jiang Yi too?

No, I don't.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm merely a passerby.

I'll go shower.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Going on a date.

What's the matter?

You caught a cold?

Maybe I did.

While I was gone,

you couldn't even take care of yourself.

I'll get you some cold medicine.

It's not necessary.

It is necessary.

I'll feel bad if you fall sick.

Don't let the bacteria ruin

our beautiful life together.

Bottoms up.

Fine, I'll make sure that won't happen.

[The results of your hard work.]

[My goodness.]

[From now on,]

[whoever says Yi is aloof,]

[I'll have a go at them.]

[When he doesn't smile, he's so cool.]

[When he smiles, my heart melts.]

[Must collect 100 copies]

[of this magazine.]

[Yi is surprising.]

[It's like I'm a fan of a new idol.]

[The fans are very happy.]

[Are you delighted?]

[The smile looks dumb.]

Who's that?

[Courier service.]

Just leave it at the doorstep.

[Alright.]

Hello?

[You received the walnut?]

Yes.

What's this about?

You asked me for a solution, didn't you?

I've thought about it.

You'll cradle a new pair
of walnuts for me.

Cradle walnuts?

But I don't know how.

You can learn.

I'll teach you.

Then when will they be considered done?

Send me a photo of them every week.

Once I think they look

similar to the original ones,

it's done.

Won't that take seven years?

Just be more hardworking.

It'll take lesser than that.

Is there another solution?

[There is.]

Tell me.

60 million.

I think I'll try the first solution first.

I'm about to go out now.

We'll talk another time.

Remember to send me photos.

Senior.

I'm not late, am I?

You're just in time.

Ten minutes before the show begins.

Have a seat first.

That's great.

This is for you.

It's not some

overly expensive gift, is it?

Open it up and see.

A stone?

This is

a meteorite

from Bermuda Triangle.

I remember you were

fascinated with

the Bermuda Triangle mystery

during high school.

You'd often ask me about it.

So I think you'd like it.

Unfortunately I was a step too slow.

I only managed to get the small piece.

This is good enough.

I think

I'm just like this meteorite,

taking hundred

or thousand millions of light years

to reach the earth.

It's like me taking ten years

to finally be with you.

Thank you.

I really like the gift.

I think they're open now.

Let's go.

[Wonderful Media]

Zhi Xiao, you're a genius.

How did you do that?

You're really something, Zhi Xiao.

Who wrote

that article?

I wrote it.

Well written.

[Good morning, Tong Hua.]

Miss Tong Hua.
Miss Sheng Sheng.

Coffee today

is on Miss Zhi Xiao.

Thanks.

What's the occasion?

The article yesterday

went viral.

It got 30 million views.

What article?

I don't know.

I never followed them.

Xiao Xiao.

Which article do they mean?

It's really going to blow up?

Miss Tong Hua, it's about Jiang Yi.

Look at Zhang Zhi Xiao
and her gang's

push notification yesterday.

Spinning stories from pictures?

What a good imagination they have.

Drove her sister out of the house?

That's nonsense.

Tong Tong, Tong Tong.

What are you doing?

What's the matter?
You don't like it?

Why didn't you mention about
Jiang Yi's scoop in the meeting?

You didn't know?

Our chief editor has granted me

exclusive rights
to deal with special cases.

I haven't got any special scoops lately

and the seller of the photos

was urging me to publish it

before they sell them to another buyer.

I'm Jiang Yi's fan.

I can't swallow this coffee

after what you've done to him.

I know you too well.

Our official account has been bombarded

with so many personal messages.

Those foolish fans of Jiang Yi

have also come up

to curse all of us.

Don't your account

have a bottom line?

Spinning stories from pictures

is acceptable?

We do have a bottom line.

We blurred the kid's face.

Plus, we're not making this up.

His parent's divorce

is a fact.

Now he's supporting his father

and the rest of their family.

I'm actually siding Jiang Yi on this.

It's obvious that

his father asked him
to take care of his sister.

Didn't he take her back?

That's plausible.

It does make sense
if you speculate it that way.

This isn't speculation. It's the truth.

Did you see it with your own eyes?

I...

His father loitering around,

with his stepmother and sister

living off him all these years

until he has finally reached his limit.

You've seen all of that
with your own eyes?

This is based on logical speculation

and reasonable questioning.

We even left a question mark there.

If we question it,

Jiang Yi can always come out
to explain himself.

Doesn't that place Jiang Yi
in a miserable spot?

His photo was secretly taken.

His bitter past was exposed.

His character was questioned.

Now he's forced to respond

and let people like you

capitalize on his dismay.

Alright, alright.

We're all colleagues

just trying to make a living.

It doesn't have to go down like this.

That's right.

If you are so morally conscious,

just join the social news department then.

No matter

the type of news,

we must adhere to

principles of factual reporting.

Entertainment news

is more influential

than other forms of news.

Hence, you should be

accountable for every word

in your reporting.

Yu Sheng Sheng, you better
watch your mouth.

Do you own the government?

Must you control everything?

I'm writing it my way.

So what?

Call the cops then.

Do you even understand what news is?

Where's your professionalism?

Alright, that's it.

Zhi Xiao, that's enough, okay?

Let's go.

Who wants to drink her coffee anyway?

Why are you more worked up than I am?

You're really going to ditch Pei Jia Shu

and join me as a fan of Jiang Yi?

I just can't stand by and do nothing.

Jiang Yi never mentioned anything

about his family.

I wonder

how depressed he'll be

when he sees this on the search list.

I wonder

what kind of manager

you are.

You're even unaware

that pictures were secretly taken

of your own celebrity.

Where's your diplomacy

with the reporters?

How can they just publish

those pictures so fast.

Moreover,

you also didn't know that

your celebrity was doing an interview

in this very house.

What has become of this house?

People come and go
as they please now.

Is this a motel?

Why don't you just place
a few cameras over here

and live broadcast everything instead?

Da Chuan, I'm sorry.

I'll be extra cautious next time.

Brother Yi was resting at home these days

so we've let our guard down.

One more thing.

I looked it up.

The official account
that published Yi's scandal

was similar to

the official account of

the agency that interviewed

Le Yi and Brother Yi the other day.

You mean

the reporter who revealed the news

is of the same agency with Reporter Yu?

Yes.

See that?

You can't trust people.

You can't trust people nowadays,

especially reporters.

Now we've got to deal with this trouble.

I don't think

this has anything to do
with Miss Sheng Sheng.

Why link them?

Miss Sheng Sheng?

You trust her?

I do.

All of you

are too naive.

Jia Shu.

The car is here. We can go now.

I'm off to work.
You guys continue.

Alright, I won't accompany you today.

Do your best at work.

Just ignore the stuff

written on the internet.

Shut it all out if you want a good rest.

Jiang Da Chuan will handle the rest.

That's the whole point

of having a manager.

Stay away from me.

Your cologne stinks.

You have a poor taste.

Where are you off to?

I'm having lunch with a friend.

Brother Jia Shu is giving me a ride.

What kind of friend?

A musician

you don't know.

Brother Yi, take a rest.

I'll go out now.

Okay.

Someone I don't know?

Why doesn't he just tell me?

Wait, where are you going?

Going to bed.

Alright, sleep is good.

Have a good sleep.

Three difficult brats.

Actually you did pretty well.

Damage control was done on spot.

Let's head back to the company.

I know

you ranted on purpose

to show those three brats.

[A picture]

[to spin the entire story?]

[We all experience bad mood at times.]

[It's okay to follow his work]

[but stay away from his personal life.]

[A father and stepmother
who leeches off their son.]

[I bet the sister]

[isn't much of a difference too.]

[Not a devil's advocate here.]

[No matter what, ]

[he shouldn't disrespect his elders.]

[I never really cared,]

[but now he's totally lost my respect.]

[So many Virgins Mary wannabes here.]

[Whoever sides Jiang Yi this time]

[ought to be criticized.]

[Pity her.]

[What wrong has his sister done?]

[It's a girl's right to be pampered]

[and dress up.]

[Head over to my page.]

[Yi.]

[I saw that article.]

[Don't take it too personally.]

[They're just grandstanding.]

[I might be speaking out of turn.]

[But be more careful]

[when making friends next time.]

[I'm attending a commercial event today.]

[So I can't head over to see you.]

[Rest well.]

[Hello. ]

[The number you've dialled
is not in service.]

[Please try again later.]

[Le Yi.]

[I can't reach Jiang Yi.]

[Is he still okay?]

[Miss Sheng Sheng.]

[I think it's better for you]

[to not contact Brother Yi at the moment.]

[Everyone is a bit sensitive]

[towards your identity now.]

[You think I had
something to do with that?]

[I don't know.]

Let's go and have lunch.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

It's nothing.

Try to contact

Jiang Yi's agency.

If he plan to explain,

we'll write the article.

Alright, I'll ask them about it.

Let's go.

Any updates?

It's still the same.

It's among the top search titles
of three engines simultaneously.

Both him and his agency

have not responded.

But he seldom updates his Weibo.

It's even more unlikely for him
to do that now.

His fan club is actively doing
damage control too.

This scandal

won't actually affect

his career too much.

But he has always refused

to disclose his family matters.

Now that it's out there,
he must really be upset.

That's right.

Plus the article was all made up.

Have you contacted Jiang Yi?

He switched off his phone.

The number he gave you

must've been his manager's.

The fact that it's unreachable

means they don't want to be disturbed.

Yes.

Moreover I'm an entertainment reporter.

We reporters

are always treated like that

by their staff.

We're cherished when needed

and discarded when not.

But I have an internal source saying that

Jiang Yi goes under the radar

whenever he's upset.

Under the radar?

He won't bring any staff.

He heads out alone

to somewhere no one knows.

I bet it's some therapeutic

secret place of his.

This is...

What is it?

It's nothing.

Tong Tong.

I've got something up this evening

so I'm not going back to the office.

Please help me apply leave.

That's so sudden.
Where are you heading to?

I have to go.

Remember to apply my leave.

Jiang Yi, where are you?

I couldn't find him

and I'm stuck here.

Why am I so unlucky?

You're not working today?

It's a coincidence or perhaps...

Do you think I did it too?

I know I did agree

about Jiang Mo,

and I was there when you're arguing,

and the official account

happens to be our company's.

It all seems

somewhat related to me.

Tong Tong even made me contact you

to ask whether you'd
like to clear things up.

No matter how you see it,

it just seems like

I've staged everything.

I never said anything.

Why are you acting so guilty?

You switched off your phone
and didn't reply to my messages.

How can I not feel guilty about it?

That's because I forgot to charge my phone

and the battery died.

And you couldn't find a power bank?

I wanted the battery to be dead.

So you do want to
go under the radar.

How did you know

I was here?

I...

When we switched bodies,

I used your phone

and saw your other account.

This is

the only mountain in the city.

What are you laughing about?

You found me.

You found me.

Thanks.

Only one identity card?

My boyfriend forgot to bring his.

We came for a hike.

But it's raining heavily

so we can't leave now.

Indeed,

it started raining out of the blue.

Room 206.

This one has a balcony.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Oh, wait.

The one in the cabinet is quite pricey.

Would you both like to

take a box from the counter instead?

We won't need that.

We've brought our own.

Are you crazy?

Two boxes.

You're really something.

I never knew

you had such thick skin.

You're enjoying it.

It's just a joke.

Jokes in the entertainment industry

are often so shameless?

That's not really the case.

It's because I read

those books at your house

about the president kissing Cinderella.

Why were you reading those books?

I was bored.

But I've learnt something from that.

I realized those presidents

had really good physiques.

You seem to be in a good mood.

I guess you're feeling better now.

Why isn't it a king-sized bed?

Will you stop it?

Does it amuse you to mess with me?

Head to the shower.

Don't catch a cold.

You go first.

You go first.

You go first.

You're soaked from head to toe.

Let's shower together then.

It's not like I haven't seen it before.

In your dreams.

Got you there.

Tong Tong.

I won't be going home today.

You're staying at your own place?

No.

I'm in the middle of the mountain.

It's raining outside.

So I got

[a room for the night.]

In the mountains?

I realized

it's getting harder for me

to get you.

Are you

checking in with a guy?

That's right.

[You've got it right.]

He even brought two boxes

of family planning supplies.

That sounds terrific.

Enjoy yourself then.

Thank you.

Anything else?

I wanted to ask you

when you'd be back

so we could chew out Zhang Zhi Xiao.

[This afternoon]

[someone spotted Jiang Yi's father]

[and took some photos.]

Now netizens are at it again.

I'll send it you.

[I can't talk anymore.]

[I've got damage control to do. Bye.]

Alright, bye.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Please be more mindful of yourself.

We're still of opposite genders.

I've given up on resisting you.

After all, you seen everything

from top to bottom.

I've indeed seen it all.

But it's different.

There's only the two of us

in this room alone

and it feels weird.

Alright.

I know you're not interested in me.

You fancy Pei Jia Shu.

My feeling for Jia Shu is admiration.

I'm willingly support him with my love

without asking anything in return.

I only hope

he does his best in singing and dancing,

maintain his glorious looks

and be a good role model to others.

That'd suffice.

And I thought

all girls fantasized

dating their prince charming.

We do fantasize,

but it can only remain a fantasy.

In the real life,

there's no way of knowing him at all.

What more to make him notice me

and fall in love with me.

The probability of it happening
is literally zero.

Thanks to you,

I now even have a boyfriend.

You're bringing it up again.

Do you want to charge your phone?

My phone is still good.

I'm under the radar now.

Jiang Da Chuan and the rest

have always doubted my intentions.

If they know

you are with me the whole night,

I won't be able to explain myself

no matter how hard I try.

If I were Jiang Da Chuan,

I won't believe it too.

That's exactly

your typical demoness
of the Silken Web Cave.

I asked Le Yi if he trusts me.

He said he doesn't know.

Le Yi took your side back at the house.

He told Jiang Da Chuan that he trusts you.

Da Chuan couldn't believe his ears.

I trust you too.

Back when we switched bodies,

you could've done anything you wanted.

Yet you didn't.

You protected me well.

You're also better than me

in so many things.

For example, you're likeable.

You don't have to be too likeable.

The way you are right now

is just fine.

Is that so?

When we truly fancy someone,

we don't need them to change

into the way we want.

We fancy them

simply because of who they are.

Is that so?

I answer your question

but you doubt my answer.

I'm not doubting you.

It's just that I haven't met

anyone like that before.

How's that possible?

You've got so many fans.

While some may scold

or defame you,

but there are

also those who like you

and love you.

They only like

the Jiang Yi they imagine,

not the real me.

The real me

is dispensable

and redundant.

Why would you think so?

The public official account got it right.

Since I was very young,

my parents divorced.

The court assigned me to my father.

But he left me

to my grandpa instead

while he tried to make a living faraway.

I heard that he's attempted many jobs.

A promoter,

insurance agent,

delivery guy...

He disregards small amounts of money.

He aims too high

and ends up with nothing at last.

When my grandpa passed away.

he never visited.

I only got to know

through others

that he remarried.

How about

your mother?

She went overseas

and has never remarried.

She's doing pretty good with her research.

In their lives,

I'm the dispensable one.

In your wardrobe,

I saw many gifts

from your mother.

She still misses you in her heart.

Yes.

But that's not enough.

You're right.

It isn't enough.

A child needs lots of love

growing up.

Yes.

Just like how your parents treat you.

Yes.

When you put it that way,

I'm indeed blessed with a happy life.

Me too...

When I became you.
