=Why Is He Still Single=

=Episode 6=

Hey, let me show you something really funny.

Are you ready?

Yes.

He really wore that hat outside!

Yeah.

And he even thought he looked great.

Hey.

But speaking of which, you two are quite fated.

Fancy running into him on a trip.

What we have is a cursed fate.

Enemies always cross paths.

You don't even know how mean he was the whole way.

Like a peacock showing off.

Always bragging about how much he knows.

He even made the tour guide girl cry.

Sounds like you had a terrible travel experience.

So off-putting.

I know.

Next time you travel, bring me.

A good travel companion is the first step to happiness.

True.

Oh, in a few days there'll be the fireworks festival.

Let's go together.

The fireworks festival...

Speaking of that,

last year, I went with my boyfriend.

It's in the past. Time to move on.

How about this?

If you're afraid it'll be lonely or bring back memories,

we can invite more people, make it livelier.

Sure. It's decided then.

Sure.

(Son) Hello, son.

Hi, Mom.

Yejia got your brother-in-law to bring that fan back for me.

And under the fan,

she tied a jade pendant for "peace in all seasons".

Her return gift

is thoughtful and exquisite. I really like it.

Return gift?

What exactly did you two do behind my back?

Alright, don't worry about it.

I'm just telling you.

You need to thank her.

The girl is so polite.

Hmph, girl?

Hear that?

You must go. Immediately.

Also, you can't just say "thank you".

Then what do I do?

Think for yourself.

(Son)

The drink you ordered today is very creative.

Oh, thank you.

And you?

The usual?

I want to change mine.

Change to what?

Anything.

Alright.

Still here alone?

Aren't you alone too?

Oh, darling.

Sorry.

I'm late.

Not late. I just arrived too.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

How about watching the fireworks together on Sunday?

I booked a suite on the rooftop.

The fireworks will bloom right before your eyes.

So romantic.

I love it!

Darling, you're amazing.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Fireworks should be watched with my own woman.

Yes.

Cheers.

(Shanghai International Fireworks Music Festival) You want to watch fireworks?

What do you want?

You can't just say "thank you" and call it done.

(I'm telling you all.)

(I'm not soldering a capacitor,)

(but sincerity.)

(I believe)

(the best way to thank someone is with a gift.)

(But the gift)

(must be handmade by you.)

(To let the other person feel)

(that you put thought into it.)

A total of 86 patients underwent randomization.

Fifty-seven were assigned to the experimental group.

Twenty-nine were assigned in the control group.

A pathological complete response occurred in 37%

of the patients in the experimental group,

and in 7% in the control group.

Thank you for your time.

It would be our journal honor to publish your essay.

Pleasure is mine.

I look forward to meeting you in person next time.

Thank you. Talk to you soon. Have a good day.

Your English is really fluent.

Well, all those years studying abroad can't go to waste.

Paper published?

Yes.

Went smoothly?

Quite smooth, thank you.

What's wrong with you today?

Oh, my stomach.

I didn't feel uncomfortable today.

Oh, right.

My mom likes the jade pendant you sent to her.

That's great.

As long as Auntie likes it.

So I think...

You don't need to give me any more gifts.

Otherwise, it'll never end.

Who said I'm giving you a gift?

By the way,

I saw that fireworks flyer you had.

I know a really great spot.

Amazing view.

So I've prepared red wine to watch the fireworks.

Sweet on the tongue,

brightness in the eyes,

and "boom-boom" in the ears.

(Yu Yu)

This is my secret.

Don't tell Xia Xiaoman or Wu.

Absolutely not.

Then why did you send me the location?

You...

You want me to watch the fireworks with you.

Well...

If you insist on coming with me,

I won't object.

I'm not going.

Huh?

I already asked Xiaoman to watch the fireworks with me.

You're leaving such an important thing

to someone as unreliable as Xia Xiaoman?

She'll probably pick some overly crowded place,

squeezed with people,

or some shabby spot where you can't see anything.

As long as we're together, we'll have fun.

The fireworks are just decoration.

Of course, you wouldn't understand that kind of joy.

I don't need to.

Go on with what you're doing. Bye.

- Hey. - Hello.

- You're here. - Hello.

Xiaoxiao.

Alright, you two.

You're the only couple today.

Tone it down a bit.

I'm not really into all that lovey-dovey stuff.

It's fine. Let them show off.

Save it for Dao later.

So frugal.

Xiaoman. Hey!

Hello, you're here.

Let me introduce you.

This is Wu.

His girlfriend Xiaoxiao.

- Hello. - Hello.

I am Song.

I am Ping Yang.

- You're here. - Hi.

- Hello. - Hello.

- You all came. - Yeah.

Why are you carrying such a big bag?

It's full of snacks and drinks.

A treasure stash.

Don't mention it. She couldn't sleep at all last night.

Like a kid before a school trip.

Alright, everyone's here. Let's go.

Sure!

- Sure. - Where are we going?

To the secret base for watching fireworks.

(Panda Construction Engineering Co., Ltd)

What kind of secret base is this?

Don't look down on this abandoned building.

The view here is wide open.

Perfect location.

And the best part, there won't be a single person here.

I've actually heard of

this abandoned building.

It must be great for watching fireworks.

But how did you even find a place like this?

You're incredible.

Don't you know who I am?

Come on, let's go.

Right here.

Hey.

Who are you people?

We're just ordinary citizens.

Here to watch the fireworks.

No. You all should leave now.

They're doing construction inside. What fireworks are you trying to see?

Isn't this an unfinished building?

Our company took it over.

Hurry and leave.

Sorry.

So, what do we do now?

I'm really sorry, everyone.

I'm just too unreliable.

Earlier, you invited me to watch fireworks.

I turned you down.

Sorry.

Oh, it's fine.

Can I still watch with you?

If you insist on watching with me,

I can only agree out of courtesy.

Thank you.

Wow, this place is really nice.

Fireworks for just the two of us.

Not only that.

What?

Come here.

This way.

Didn't I tell you not to tell others?

Isn't it lively now?

No, this is my secret spot.

Sharing brings more joy.

Xia Xiaoman is really unreliable.

Mr. Yu.

Wow, this place is amazing.

Wow, it's absolutely perfect.

It's okay.

Still a bit worse than my spot.

Not bad, Mr. Yu. Impressive.

Well, Mr. Yu.

How did you even find this secret base?

The owner of this building is my college classmate.

He lent it to me.

- Oh. - Wow.

Although Mr. Yu didn't invite us to watch fireworks before,

this time we're lucky thanks to you.

We get to see them now.

- Thank you, Mr. Yu. - Thank you, Mr. Yu.

Hey.

This is pretty nice.

Why don't we just eat here?

Sure, let's do it.

Let's see what you brought.

How does it feel to be thanked?

Not bad.

Look how happy they are.

It's all because of you.

Sorry for sharing your secret.

- Wow! - Wow!

Wow, look!

It's huge!

That one just now!

Wow!

There!

Thank you, Mr. Yu.

I really didn't expect to see fireworks like this.

Take this.

What's this?

A VR headset.

I built a shuttle device.

It works great for fireworks.

Try it.

- What about you? - I've got one too.

You have two?

Buy one, and get one free.

Why can't I see anything?

You'll see in a moment.

Here it comes.

Wow!

Wow!

Beautiful, right?

So beautiful.

Too beautiful! So dreamy!

So this is what fireworks look like through your eyes.

This is way too cool.

Send me the video?

For a price, later, we'll treat you to a dinner.

I can give you the video for sure.

But dinner... Forget it.

I have to go home to wash clothes today,

and tidy up the house.

Work's been way too busy lately.

I haven't cleaned for so long.

Well...

Alright then.

Hey.

Since when did you learn to eavesdrop?

I didn't.

You still have three minutes before work.

So I'm waiting for you.

Mr. Yu is back at the hospital again.

Don't speak.

Let's disappear.

Hurry, go.

Hello, Mr. Yu.

Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yu.

Gone again?

Sit down.

Where does it hurt now?

I still have a headache and neck pain.

So I came to ask you for some painkillers.

You finished the painkillers

I gave you last time so quickly?

I finished them,

so I came to ask for stronger painkillers.

Medicine can't be prescribed recklessly.

And many pains heal on their own.

You must not...

Make a big deal out of it, right?

Not very accurate, but roughly means that.

Wait...

Do you often have patients who make a big deal out of small things

come to see you?

So that makes you too tired to do housework.

You said you didn't eavesdrop on others.

Besides, so what if I'm busy and too tired to do housework?

Hmph.

I am this kind of person.

No matter how tired, I will do housework.

I am very diligent and love cleanliness.

That means your home must be very tidy and clean.

Of course.

But very regrettably,

I cannot invite you to my home,

because I'm not used to letting outsiders into my room.

So regrettable.

You may leave.

Anyway, people who say they don't like housework

or can't do housework are,

in one word, lazy.

Headache.

Headache? I have medicine.

I'm being sarcastic.

I'm just joking.

Goodbye.

Who wants to go to your home?

(House renovation bill of quantities and pricing table)

In such a short time,

how can such a complex project be completed?

Isn't that ridiculous?

Ou Yang said he wouldn't do it.

I had no choice either,

so I came over

to find you.

Ou Yang, huh?

Hmph.

He said this goes against the rules of creation.

It can't be done.

This time he's right.

Other designers said the same thing.

Otherwise,

should I just drop it? Forget it.

Wait.

Don't drop it.

I'll take it.

A project no one can complete.

If I complete it on time,

what does that mean?

It means slapping them in the face,

and it also means you are more capable than them.

You would be the designer of the year.

Exactly.

Oh, have you thought it through?

What if you don't finish?

Piece of cake.

Oh.

Wu, aren't you setting up Mr. Yu?

I'm not.

(People always need some difficult challenges)

(to motivate themselves.)

(Success lets you show off,)

(and failure lets you be playful.)

(All for hope that there is something only you can do.)

(It makes you feel safe,)

(like finding your place)

(in a crowded subway.)

(Wanting to be unique among billions,)

(this is the root of inner struggle.)

(Torturing yourself,)

(any obstacle can be overcome.)

(But remember to lift your feet first.)

No inspiration?

How could I have no inspiration?

Go do your work.

(I have no work.)

(I have to wait for you to finish the design drawing.)

(Got it.)

(Mr. Yu.)

(The client didn't want it to be that perfect.)

(Stop being pretentious.)

(What pretentious?)

(This is a dedication to art.)

It's you.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Xia Xiaoman's place.

Hey, following someone like that is scary.

Why not greet me?

After greeting, if there's nothing to say,

wouldn't it be more awkward?

Haven't seen you for days.

Have you gone crazy from overtime?

Overtime is for the inefficient.

I don't do overtime.

Let's go.

See?

Wu, what are you doing here?

Dr. Gu, I'm waiting for Mr. Yu.

Why is he so far from you?

Sick again. Continue your work.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Fighting again?

Hmph, actually the opposite.

To avoid awkward silence,

I stay away from her.

But don't you talk a lot with her?

What are you doing here?

Mr. Yu.

You must finish this design today.

Otherwise, I won't have time for the mock-up.

So I came to help you.

I even brought my laptop.

Are you questioning my ability?

No, I'm just sharing the workload.

Enough, go back now.

I came all this way, so just let me go up.

- You knew I wouldn't let you in, yet you came. - Breaking the rule for work once.

Either in the hallway,

or Xia Xiaoman's place.

Pick one.

Then I'll work overtime at the office.

Why not do it at home?

Home is where I live with my girlfriend.

I can't bring work home.

Hmph. It's clearly because there's no private space.

See how good I have it.

Free and easy at home.

No one bothers me. Jealous, huh?

Sick again.

- Come back. - Goodbye.

Ta-da.

This is my newly invented vegetable rice.

It looks black but tastes great.

Indeed, it's very black. Can I eat it?

Yes.

Here, try it.

Try it.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Xiaoman, you're amazing.

Cooking so well

and inventing new things.

I really admire you.

I think my future husband will be very happy.

Because I will take care of everything at home.

Let him fully

focus on his career.

I think behind every successful man,

there's a strong woman.

That said,

you want to be a full-time housewife.

Yes, and I don't need him to spend much.

I'm not trying to take advantage.

I think each month

it's enough if he brings back living expenses.

Any leftovers we save.

So we can gradually manage

and feel at home.

I think you'll be a great wife.

I think so too.

What a pity.

No one appreciates it.

Otherwise, I'd marry you.

Or tomorrow we could register?

But I never knew

what kind of man you like?

Me?

I want a man who is ambitious in his career,

but also willing to share housework with me.

In today's world,

such men are rare.

There are.

Who?

(Facing time pressure,)

(higher work efficiency is needed.)

(Staying calm and focused)

(is the key.)

(Choose a quiet work environment,)

(and allocate time for each task.)

Really.

I think Mr. Yu actually likes doing housework.

He does laundry more diligently than I do.

He did tell me

that he keeps his home neat and clean,

tidy and spotless.

Have you been inside?

No, but I heard from Shen Wu

that he doesn't let anyone in.

So strange.

Now I'm curious.

Xiaoman.

I'm wondering why you always cry poor.

You spend so much money

buying luxury shoes and bags.

Even have these limited-edition red-soled shoes.

I call it "exquisite poverty".

Why are you staring at me?

Stay here tonight.

I'll let you experience princess treatment.

Jia, you're amazing.

I worked hard on my makeup.

Gotta show it off.

Or scare him?

What's this?

What are you recording?

What are you two doing?

Why are you dressed like that?

Going to sing "Night Shanghai"?

Wearing that mask,

planning a Sichuan opera face-change?

I really can.

Give up, huh?

You win.

This dish is made by Xiaoman. Try it.

Even you can't finish it.

Then it must be terrible.

So will you eat it or not?

If you insist I eat,

I'll just eat a little.

We have

a question to ask you.

Go ahead.

Why don't you let anyone into your home?

Good question.

Home can be a place

to separate from this troublesome world.

It's an independent, private space.

Like male leads in fantasy martial-arts drama.

They cultivate alone in their secret rooms.

Understand?

Then, sorry to disturb you.

Please continue your cultivation.

He's really strange.

Grown up and still wearing a mask.

I made a meme of him, look.

You're so talented.

Even put the hat in.

I'll post it in our group chat.

Mr. Yu, it's so late, still not here?

What's going on?

It's 10:30 AM.

Wu, coffee, double shot.

Triple.

- Hey, you. - Mr. Yu.

You don't need to say anything.

Trust me, I can finish quickly.

You don't need to do this work anymore.

What?

You don't have to do it.

What?

This place is nice.

How are you here?

Because you didn't finish work on time.

According to headquarters,

this place is now managed by Ou Yang.

You're no longer needed.

Effective now, immediately.

This contract officially takes effect at noon.

One minute left.

What?

No.

This is my studio.

Even if I didn't finish work on time,

you can't just dismiss me so recklessly.

No need to explain.

See for yourself.

If you don't understand, get a lawyer to teach you.

Also,

this woman is mine now.

What?

Please take good care of me.

Lin Sa, you...

Hey, you.

He's also mine from now on.

Triple of yours.

Sorry.

Just black tea.

Oh, very sorry.

One minute has passed.

Mr. Yu, you should leave.

- I... - From now on,

this is Ou Yang's studio.

This thing looks so annoying.

Throw it away.

Right now.

Coming.

Wu.

Wu, don't!

Who?

Who?

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Ou Yang is too flirtatious.

We decided to ditch that guy.

Just saw you feeding him fruit earlier.

For you too.

From now on, we follow you.

Obedient in everything.

Do whatever you ask.

I don't need that.

You do.

It's already 2:14 AM.

Delays are terrifying.

This...

What's that sound?

What's meant to come will come.

Why is he so annoying?

(Keeping promises)

(isn't easy,)

(but things promised to others)

(must be fulfilled.)

(Showing off is scary.)

Why are you panicking?

Waiting for you to release the second half.

We couldn't sleep all night.

Now we're late.

We're like this now...

It's all your fault.

You look like those two women.

Who?

The women in my dream.

Ugh.

I'm very disappointed in you two traitors.

What?

When did we betray you?

Traitors, don't talk to me.

He's just late.

Saving face.

Just blaming us to distract.

But it's rare that Mr. Yu is late.

Design plan, done.

Alright.

Mr. Yu, are you tired?

Want me to pour you some black tea?

Absolutely not.

Just say it.

Why so fierce?

I want coffee, triple shot.

The design plan is done.

Can the materials and construction plan be finished today?

- Yes. - If not finished,

tomorrow I can't hand it to the foreman.

Then our start time...

I said I can.

Well...

Mr. Yu is quite irritable today.

Menopause?

Getting older.

Well...

Ou Yang called me this morning.

He said he wants to help finish this project.

Don't mention him to me.

Third and final time I say it,

I can do it myself.

Where's my coffee?

Hmph.

Two traitors.

Scald you.

Hmph.

It's past ten at night and still drinking this, not sleeping?

Is it ten already?

Thirty-six yuan in total.

(Emergency)

Over fatigue. Nothing serious.

Rest for a few days, and he'll be fine.

Over fatigue?

Probably from staying up late.

Then why did he suddenly faint?

Low blood sugar?

Not really.

He drank a lot of Red Bull,

so he wouldn't have low blood sugar.

But extreme anxiety can affect appetite.

Right.

Yes.

I can't eat when I talk to Mom about his marriage.

I can hear.

That's great.

I'm fine now.

I'm going to work.

That won't do.

Dr. Gu said your blood pressure is unstable.

Irregular heartbeat.

You must rest for 48 hours.

Don't listen to her.

She's a doctor after all.

Or you can listen to me.

I'm a doctor too.

You're even less reliable.

Mr. Yu, you don't need to rush.

Ms. Lin just told me

that Ou Yang will help us complete this project.

Ou Yang?

Forget it.

Anyway, the main design

is almost finished.

Only materials

and pricing issues are left.

Even if he's stupid, he should handle it.

Where's Lin Sa?

Lin is in a meeting with Ou Yang.

Such a simple thing, still hand-holding him?

Well...

The condition for Ou Yang to take over

is to change your design.

What are you doing?

I want to stop him.

Are you insane? You need to rest.

Mr. Yu, calm down.

That work is already Ou Yang's.

Stop talking. Move aside.

No, Mr. Yu.

What are you doing?

You didn't stop Ou Yang from changing my design,

but you stopped me instead?

Aren't you supposed to rest?

Move aside.

Yu Yu!

What did you just call me?

You're disrespectful! What are you doing?

It's not that I'm doing anything. You should rest.

- Move aside! - I won't!

Go away, don't block me!

Stop being so willful!

Listen, I'm your apprentice.

I have to look after you.

Then don't be my apprentice.

Get out!

What's wrong with you?

Don't block me either.

Yu.

Don't be mad.

Yu, sit.

Rest well.

Come, lie down.

Rest well.

(A designer)

(who doesn't finish work on time)

(ends up having their design changed by someone else.)

(Truly a failure.)

You got fired just like that?

Can I still ask about this?

But it doesn't sound quite right.

Shall I ask for you again?

Forget it.

I won't trouble you with this.

Then why didn't you tell your girlfriend

and call us out?

I don't want to bring this negative mood home.

If you don't bring it home, bring it to us, huh?

Aren't you my good friends?

Friends, right?

Share the hardship together. Come.

Come on.

Hi.
