♫ Your smile is so sweet with those crooked eyes ♫

♫ The way you run towards me is especially beautiful ♫

♫ Your smile is not that simple with those crooked corners of your mouth ♫

♫ Why do you always appear when I make a fool of myself? ♫

♫ All the summer seasons are not as romantic as meeting you ♫

♫ Am I giving you romance or warmth? ♫

♫ All the time in the world cannot compare to my feelings for you ♫

♫ Because it is you, I will believe in eternity ♫

[The Love Equations]

I like you.

Can you like me, too?

Zhou Xiao!

I'm doomed.

[Episode 20] [Appropriately Matched with Disapproving Father]

Zhou Xiao!

I'm doomed.

Did I ever tell you my dad is the Dean of Students

and also a physical education teacher, as well as the provincial kickboxing champion?

Hello, Uncle.

I'm Zhao Fanzhou, Zhou Xiao's boyfriend.

It hurts!

You know it hurts? Then spill the beans.

But... you'd already tortured me before I could say anything!

Are you Empress Wu? (T/N: a tyrannical ruler and was the only female emperor in China's history)

What did you say?

I'll tell you everything.

That's better. Hurry up.

What's his name? How old is he?

Where does he study? What's his major?

How many people are in his family? Where is his family from?

Can you ask me one at a time?

I can't even remember all your questions. How can I answer?

What's his name?

Hurry up.

His name is Zhao Fanzhou, 19 years old.

He's in the same school as me and majors in forensic science.

He's from Nanshi.

There are three people in his family, I think.

He studies forensic science?

What's wrong with forensic science?

Why are you so agitated? You scared me.

Because you're biased against forensic scientists!

What did I say? How am I biased?

"Forensic science?" That's what your expression was.

Every industry should be respected, especially forensic scientists!

A lot of people don't dare do this job, nor do they understand it.

So that's more the reason for us to respect them.

What did I even say? I just-

Fine, fine.

I'll put away my bias, okay?

That's better.

Uncle, the water is boiling.

I know.

Okay.

Hurry and tell me how you got together.

Why do you want to know this?

Hurry up and tell me.

Such a handsome guy.

How did you shamelessly win him over?

Mom, you lack confidence in your daughter.

He's the one who shamelessly went after me, okay?

Of course, of course.

He's the one who went after you. Hurry and tell me.

Tell me how he shamelessly won you over.

Then I have to start from the first day of school.

The first day of school.

It's hard to talk sitting down. Let me stand up.

Thank you, Uncle.

The rule in our family is...

if the elders have not allowed you to drink, you cannot drink.

Okay.

I understand, Uncle.

It is very important to follow the rules and know your place.

Especially in public.

You know what I mean, don't you?

Zhou Xiao!

I understand, Uncle.

- Is that all? - That's really all, mom!

Hurry up, I'm starving!

Start cooking.

When have we asked your mom to cook?

Dad... you...

Are you going to a wedding? Why are you dressed like that?

Don't I always dress like this?

When has your mom ever cooked?

In our Zhou family, hasn't it always been men who cook?

When have you ever-

Right. I never cook at home.

In our Zhou family, it's always been the men who cook.

- Uncle, I'll be your assistant. - Okay!

What assistant?

Don't be so modest. Show us your skills.

Dad, he's a guest.

- How can you ask a guest to cook? - Exactly.

Guest? Are you a guest?

If you see yourself as a guest, then I guess you have no intention of becoming a part of our family.

I'll try, Uncle.

The kitchen is over there.

Okay.

You...

Good luck!

I can't believe he actually knows how to cook.

I didn't know either.

An insignificant skill that only looks great.

You have to taste it to know if one is good at cooking.

Go back to our room.

What?

- I need to tell you something. - What?

I need to tell you things about your son-in-law.

Open the door! Open the door!

Are you bored?

I'm not. Let me help you.

It's okay. Go out.

Don't look down on me.

I at least know how to wash vegetables. Tell me. What should I wash?

I can wash them. Just go out and rest.

Why do you keep kicking me out?

Because your father wants me to understand the rules and know my place.

Stay away from me.

No.

- Stop playing. - I-

Be good, come on. Stop playing.

Hurry and go out. Go watch TV. Be good.

Go watch TV.

I don't want to watch TV. I want to help you.

Be good.

Hurry and go. Go.

So the three relatives all threatened...

No one was threatening him.

They were, in fact, trying to persuade him to be himself.

But in his world....

It was he himself who felt that his secret was exposed...

Your cutie pie is back again.

I'm going to count to three. Let go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I won't let go.

What will make you stop causing trouble here?

Let me stay and help you.

Then stay away from me.

Don't move.

Look at how carefully I've investigated.

I've already gotten all the details. Unlike you.

Stop playing with your phone.

Look at you. You sat there for half an hour,

and just stayed angry at Xiao Zhou. You didn't ask a single thing.

Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou. Are you close with him?

Of course. He's my future son-in-law. Of course, we must be close.

Plus, I think this Xiao Zhou suits our daughter so well,

no matter from appearance to education. I just don't understand.

How come you don't like him?

In which way is he not worthy of your daughter?

He's not worthy of my daughter at all.

Enough. Okay, your daughter...

Your daughter has many admirers. She's an angel from heaven.

She just hasn't joined a girl group yet, okay?

Since you're a teacher,

you're watching this group and that group all the time. Is that appropriate?

Of course it is. I have to follow my students' steps.

Yasi.

Uncle, the automatic software that collects vegetables you asked me to write is done. I'll install it for you in a couple of days.

Thank you so much! You know, getting up at midnight to steal vegetables is so tiring!

You even dared to say it. My goodness.

We're already on AlphaGo playing the board game Go and there's still someone who steals vegetables?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Look. Look at Yasi, he's so sensible.

No matter how good he is, he's someone else's son.

Also, I think Xiao Zhou isn't inferior to Yasi.

I'm telling you that I don't agree.

Even Yasi just meets my expectations for a son-in-law.

That... something Zhou is too far away from it.

Stop combing those few strands of hair you have. Is it even necessary?

Mind your own business. I need to leave a good impression on my future son-in-law.

Hello, Uncle.

Yasi, where are you?

Are you home yet? Do you have anything to eat at home?

Get some flour and coat these chicken wings with it.

Flour...

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. I swear.

You look like a little cat.

No...

I'm going to get you back.

Dad, we didn't...

You're such a coward.

- Is it fun? - It is.

Then let's play something even more fun.

What are you thinking?

You can play alone. I'm leaving.

All three of them found relevant evidence in the room.

All three of you suspect Bai but at which point

did they suddenly think

this might not be Bai. From then...

Today's motive must be because they realized the true plan.

It must be because he wanted to frame Bai...

Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao.

You're really not helping me bring out the dishes?

I'm not helping.

All right.

Why are you here?

What? You don't welcome me?

Your dad invited me over for dinner.

My dad invited you?

What smells so good? What did Auntie make?

What Auntie? Zhao Fanzhou is the one who cooked.

You're in luck today. Even I haven't tasted his cooking.

- Xiao Zhou, are you done? - Yes.

You've even made soup? Here, put it here. Be careful.

It's hot, be careful.

Sit down. You're worked hard.

That's Zhou Xiao's spot.

Sit there, sit there.

I'm here.

Quick. Tell Xiao Zhou to sit down and eat.

Come on, help yourselves.

- Help yourself. - Okay, Auntie.

Thank you for all the hard work today. I never would have thought that you knew how to cook.

Unlike Zhou Xiao who barely goes into the kitchen.

We haven't tried anything yet and you're already praising him.

You're so careless with your comments.

Well then...

You're careful. Please try some. Make your own comments.

How does it taste?

This was fried for too long.

Let me try.

No way. It looks fine to me.

It's delicious. Very delicious.

It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Try it.

- I'll have a taste as well. - Go ahead and eat.

Have you never tried any good food?

Okay, you've eaten good foods. Don't eat it. I'll eat it.

Fine. I won't eat it.

I never would have expected this. Kids your age usually don't know how to cook.

They can't even tell the difference between Chinese chives and wheat. How did you learn to cook?

How great would it be if Zhou Xiao was half as sensible as you.

- Thank you, Auntie. - Mom, I'm also quite sensible, all right?

Yasi, have some more.

Delicious.

Yasi!

W-What's wrong, Uncle?

Well... didn't you tell me that you

designed software to help me steal vegetables?

- Yes. What's wrong? - That's awesome.

Young lad, you're very competent.

You'll be a pillar of our country in the future.

What do you say, Xiao Zhao?

Ah, yes.

Tell me. Have you thought about changing your major?

No.

Dad, what are you saying?

Why would he change his major? He's doing very well.

I heard he got a special grade scholarship every year, and he'll be a medical examiner immediately after graduation.

Civil servants are also pillars of the country, right?

What do you mean change his major? Eat, eat.

I didn't say he must change it.

Yasi, didn't you

take part in a contest and won first place, the kind that you had to go abroad for?

Yeah, I was the champion of Chinese ACM-ICPC.

Awesome!

You got quite a bit of prize money, didn't you?

You can make money for the family at such a young age.

It's your parents' good fortune to have you.

Thank you, Uncle.

It's useless however much the prize money is.

He wasted all of it.

This is called being jealous.

Ask him if you don't believe me. What did you spend the money on? Tell him. Say it.

I bought game equipment.

Don't chat while we're eating. Just eat.

Hurry up, Xiao Zhao has to hurry home later.

What do you mean go home? Just stay here.

It's late. Just stay for the night.

Don't go home.

Why are you all looking at me like this?

Eat!

Where's your dad?

I don't know.

Thanks, Auntie.

Go cut up some watermelon.

Later. The case is almost solved. Don't talk.

Auntie, I'll go.

Ah, that's too impolite...

It's okay, I'll go. You keep watching.

- Sure. Thank you. - Go quickly.

He's so polite.

I am, too.

It really tastes quite good.

Uncle, Auntie said she wants to eat watermelon.

Excuse me.

I really don't understand you.

I told you to come out and watch TV, and you didn't come.

You didn't come out for watermelon either. What are you doing all night just hiding in the bedroom?

Why do you care?

When did you come in?

Why did you come back into the room?

Why didn't you stay in the living room to keep an eye on them? You left them out there alone.

Is there something wrong with you?

Don't you see the time? I need to prepare a quilt for Xiao Zhou so that he can get ready to sleep.

Why are you acting as though I'm going to harass you?

Follow the rules and know your place.

Senior monk.

Miss, please conduct yourself appropriately.

Why are you like this all of a sudden?

Zhou Xiao likes joking around.

I've prepared a quilt and pillow for you.

I'm sorry that you have to sleep on the couch for tonight.

It's okay. Thank you, Auntie.

You're welcome.

Who said he's sleeping on the couch?

Where else would he sleep?

He can sleep with me.

Why is this so dusty?

It was only last week that I won the provincial middle-aged kickboxing competition.

I only just received this trophy.

The room is so dusty.

Don't just sit there. Go to sleep.

I'll go to sleep once I finish wiping this.

Uncle, let me wipe it for you.

All right then.

Wipe it thoroughly.

Make sure to wipe all the little nooks and crannies.

Okay.

Wipe all these as well.

Okay.

Here especially.

Turn off the light.

Liu Yong: Fifteen Exhortations for My Daughter Making Friends

Number 1. You can let others know that you're single,

but don't reveal your entire self out in the sunlight.

Even if you have many strengths, let him discover them slowly.

Because only love with a bit of mystery is beautiful.

Zhou Zhenguo, what on earth did you turn on so early in the morning? Come out and turn it off.

Number 2. Don't let him know about your financial situation.

Good morning, Auntie.

Good morning.

You got up so early. Did you sleep well last night?

Yes.

Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?

You can help set the table for me. Thank you.

"Then, the forensic scientist stands.

His eyes radiated with a dangerous glare.

And with a grab, he held onto Detective Zhou's neck."

Stop reading. Let me sleep for five more minutes.

"This Detective Zhou did a turnaround kick and the forensic science went flying with a piercing yell."

It's my fault. I won't write novels anymore.

"At that moment, the medical examiner took out a sharp scalpel.

The light reflected off the knife's edge revealing a sinister smile on his face."

I can't do it anymore.

You're the most vicious father I've ever met.

Morning.

Morning.

You have toothpaste on your face.

The opposite side.

I wiped it.

Thanks.

Are you fully awake yet?

How could I not?

What?

Nothing. Did you sleep well last night?

Whip kick.

Whip kick...

Swinging punch.

Use strength.

Whip kick.

I slept quite well.

That's great.

Good morning, Dad.

I'm coming through. Quick, make some room. Here comes the congee.

Is it Century Egg and Pork Congee?

That's right.

Century Egg and Pork Congee!

Let me tell you.

My mom's Century Egg and Pork Congee is the best.

Have a taste. You must try it today. It is on par with the world's first-class level.

Look. My daughter now knows how to look after others.

Since when did I not look after others?

- Here, try it. - Serve yourself.

It doesn't matter who serves who.

Hurry, try it.

There are only four cubes of fermented tofu. You've already had two.

Exactly. Are you going to let others eat it?

I'm the head of the family. What's wrong with me eating a cube of fermented tofu?

Who? Who's the head of the family?

We're a harmonious family. What's this talk of "head of the family,' am I right?

These words just destroy our unity as a family.

You have it. It's really good.

Look at your daughter.

Mom!

You have high blood pressure. Why eat so much of those preserved foods?

They're all preservatives. They don't even decompose when you die.

Exactly. It would damage the environment, too.

That would be sad.

Eat the fried dough stick, don't just eat congee.

Mom! Don't steal my pickled vegetables.

Mom, what are you doing?

I saved some for you. There's still more.

Zhao Fanzhou, they're bullying me.

The software that Yasi made me is so fun.

Yesterday night, I stole all of Principal Wang's vegetables. I got him so mad!

Dad, why do you always hold a grudge against that Principal Wang?

What do you mean I'm holding a grudge against him? He's the one holding a grudge against me.

He's jealous that my farm has a better harvest than his.

But you're always jealous that he has less forehead wrinkles than you.

Watch how you're talking to your dad.

Here, Xiao Zhou. Eat some fruit. No need to be so polite.

Sure. Thank you, Auntie.

Go ahead and eat.

You're not allowed to laugh at Old Zhou's many forehead wrinkles.

If you want to laugh, laugh at his low salary.

This month, his salary was ¥1,200 less than mine.

¥1,200-

Old Zhou, if this continues, you'll be living off a woman soon.

You'll be living off a woman.

- Don't be so polite. Go ahead and eat. - Okay.

In a bit, if you don't have anything, you and Zhou Xiao can go out and stroll around.

We have a forest park in our area. The environment's great and the air is very fresh.

Sure, Auntie.

What do you mean stroll around? He has to go home in a bit.

Go home? He's already here. He should stay for a few more days, isn't that right?

Then if you don't have anything to do in the lab,

you can stay for a few more days at my house.

Okay. Then I'll thank you guys first.

You're welcome.

A grown girl can't be kept at home.

Dad.

- Be happier while you're sending him off. - What?

I am sending him off.

Look at your stiff face.

Sorry, Uncle and Auntie.

If it wasn't because my mom wasn't feeling well, I would have definitely stayed here for a few more days.

It's okay, we understand.

When you come next time, I'll definitely make you a delicious meal.

- Thank you, Auntie. - You're welcome.

I'll call you when I get back.

Be careful on your way there.

You guys continue chatting. We'll go back in now.

Let's go.

What?

Let's go back. Give the young people some space.

What space?

Hurry and go.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

I have to keep an eye on that kid. What if he messes around?

What do you mean that kid?

Why are you so biased against him?

It's not called being biased. It's called high standards and strict requirements.

Then he doesn't even have one trait that meets your standards?

He makes pretty good chicken wings.

What?

Nothing. He's far from my standards.

You... You really are something.

Then I'll get going.

You're not even going to look up and look at me?

I thought you would be able to stay with me until I leave for Beijing.

I'll go back and check on the situation first.

If everything's fine, then I'll come and find you in a couple of days.

- Really? - Really.

Then, Auntie...

My mom should be fine. She's just suddenly not in a great mood.

Then that's good.

You should hurry and go back.

- I'll wait for you to come back. Go, go, go. - I-

Then I'll get going.

- Bye-bye. - I'll wait for you to come back.

Bye-bye.

Dad. Mom.

Xiao Zhou, sorry.

Xiao Zhou, it's been so many years and you've seen it all.

I really can't take it anymore.

Yesterday, I was having dinner with the upper management of our business partners.

Your mom burst in and knocked the whole table down.

It was a project I was working on for two years. [Divorce Agreement]

And it was ruined just like that by your mom.

Just because I didn't respond to her WeChat promptly.

I thought about it for a whole night.

Anyway, you're a grown-up now.

We don't want to torment ourselves anymore because of you.

So...

was it all for me?

That's not what I meant.

Xiao Zhou,

when you were little, our family did not have the best conditions.

So I dedicated myself to my work.

Then I'd earn more money and you and your mom could live a better life.

But I spent all my time with work and neglected you guys.

At that time, although your mom's temper wasn't great,

I always thought that when our living conditions improved,

she would also get better.

But I never thought that her temper

would get worse and worse,

which completely ruined

our relationship.

I know I let you guys down.

In the future, I will pay back all that I owe.

You don't have to explain all this to me.

I'll take good care of my mom.

Xiao Zhou.

You should leave first.

Or else when she wakes up, she won't be able to control her emotions again.

Just now, when I gave your mom some water to drink,

I secretly put a sleeping pill in.

You put in a pill?

Xiao Zhou, you didn't see how worked up your mom was.

And the situation she was in did not seem normal.

I was afraid she would hurt herself, so...

When your mom was sent to the hospital, her injuries were stable

but her emotions weren't, so the doctor couldn't help but give her a sedative.

Now the Psychiatry Department wants to do an assessment for the patient, so I came to notify you guys in advance.

Tomorrow, a psychiatrist will come and do a simple assessment for the patient.

Dad, let's take her to the hospital.

[Preview] I recommend you to get treatment in Beijing.

I won't be able to go to Beijing with you the day after tomorrow.

So I'll be going to Beijing by high-speed rail the day after tomorrow.

You're going to Beijing the day after tomorrow?

Zhao Fanzhou? So when you said that your mom was admitted to the hospital, you meant a hospital in Beijing?

Why didn't you tell me when I told you I was coming to Beijing to attend a summer camp then?
