(Dongfeng Studio)

(Dongfeng Studio) Look who's here.

(Dongfeng Studio) Principal Luo.

Have a seat.

I actually

came here to teach drawing.

Full time?

Part-time.

Just for one summer.

Any thoughts on the wage?

Any amount will do.

Well,

I have a small request.

Ms. He.

Ms. He.

Can you hire this model for the next figure drawing class?

I'll do my best.

Okay, class dismissed.

Take a break.

How do you feel? Tired?

I'm fine.

The environment here is pretty good.

I didn't lie to you, did I?

By the way, a student just asked me

if you could still

be the model in the next class.

What's the difference?

You need to be undressed.

Forget it.

Are you going to work later?

I have to go home and pack my things

before catching the evening train.

I want to go back to my hometown.

How long are you going back for?

I don't know.

(He didn't even say goodbye.)

(Oh, no.)

(I have to go home now.)

(For rent. Haircutting, perming and colouring.)

Who are you? Are you here to rent a room?

Is Xiao Han here?

He went back to his hometown.

Will he come back?

How would I know?

I'm here to clean up the room.

(For rent. Haircutting, perming and colouring.)

Why don't you leave your number

and we'll keep in touch?

See you tomorrow.

He Ran.

What are you looking at? Thinking of me?

Wake up.

Who let you in? Don't you know how to knock?

You have wronged me.

You left the door open.

Besides, I did knock.

I knocked so hard that my hand went numb, yet you never responded.

Get out. I don't want to talk to you.

What's going on?

We got along fine the other day.

I don't want to talk to you now. Get out.

He Ran, are you angry?

Do you want to fight?

I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you.

Bring it on.

What's the matter? Are you having another fight?

Mother.

Why are you fighting again?

No such thing.

We aren't fighting.

Ranran.

Yu's family has opened a new restaurant.

Do you want to try it?

Ma'am Han said the food is delicious.

Forget it. She doesn't care.

Sure, I'm hungry anyway.

Great.

Get dressed and let Yu take you there.

Take her there.

Okay.

Why...

Enough. Get out.

What? My mother asked me to get changed.

It's not appropriate for you to stay here.

Okay.

(Is the house leased yet?)

(I wonder if he's back yet.)

(I guess I'll take one last look.)

Hi.

You are back.

I was passing by the other day

and noticed a for-rent here.

Are you moving out?

No.

I still live here,

(Haircutting, perming and colouring)

(Haircutting, perming and colouring) but the salon is closing.

(Haircutting, perming and colouring)

Is this painting important to you?

I bought this randomly a long time ago.

Do you like African daisy?

I know the person who painted it.

Do you know the meaning behind this flower?

Defying the odds

to pursue the life you want.

Xiao.

Let's go!

We'll have a dinner party.

I guess I came at a bad time.

I should leave.

Let's go together.

Sure.

Stop chatting. Open the beers.

Okay. Here.

Come on.

Done.

Here.

Xiao is here. Happy birthday!

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to Xiao♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Isn't she your regular customer?

Why are you here?

Have you fallen for Xiao?

Cut the nonsense, will you?

My wife is busy in the kitchen.

Honey, let Man help you.

Go ahead.

You'll be in charge here.

Just leave it to me.

Sister, let me help you.

Don't mind her.

Today is your birthday.

He Ran is my guest.

Treat her well.

Have fun.

Come on, guys.

Enjoy.

Bottoms up.

Sit anywhere you like.

Come and sit here.

Eat up.

Feel free to order anything you want.

There's plenty of food.

You let me sit anywhere.

You can grab a drink there.

Fatty, I need a drink.

Sure.

Here you go.

VIP seat.

It's a great opportunity.

Seize it.

Romantic couple.

What are you waiting for?

Sing a song for your girlfriend.

I'll leave you be.

Drink up. I'll go and greet them.

I can't open it.

Thank you.

Xiao Han, happy birthday.

I didn't know it was your birthday.

So I didn't prepare anything.

You can tell me

if there is anything you like.

I'll buy it for you.

Can you draw the Monkey King?

The cartoon version?

Yes, I can.

Then draw me one as a gift.

Okay.

♪Meeting you, and I see you♪

♪You are the only one for me♪

Fei, take care.

Pan, goodbye.

Text me when you get home.

Okay.

Okay.

Fatty.

I left the house without my keys.

It's late

(Zhang: where are you, Ran? Come back soon.) and the studio is closed.

Can you find a place for me

to stay for the night?

Sorry for the trouble.

What's wrong with you?

How could you leave without your keys?

It's so late

and cold.

What should I do?

If you don't mind,

there's a small utility room

in my wife's restaurant.

However, the utility room

is a little small,

dark,

cold and damp.

You might get a cold, a fever,

a runny nose or something if you sleep in there overnight.

It's okay, though. You're not alone.

There are rats...

Look how frightened you are.

Or moths.

How about...

Xiao.

You can crash at Xiao's place.

Why are you all standing here?

Go inside and drink.

Be careful, Man.

Xiao, I haven't had enough.

Man, you drank too much.

Well,

I have a headache.

I'll call a taxi for Man.

You take good care of Ran.

Be careful.

Honey, I'm taking Man to the car.

Okay.

Xiao Han.

Can you

take me in for the night?

I can sleep on the sofa.

There are rats in my house, too.

Aren't you afraid?

Why should I be afraid?

Besides,

you have a cat at home.

Cats can catch rats.

Shall we go?

Kiddo.

I'm not a kid.

I'm 25 this year.

Let's go.

(HOTEL)

(Xiaoyeli Inn)

(Xiaoyeli Inn) After midnight,

After midnight,

the hourly rate is RMB10 higher. No bargaining.

Xiao.

I can't believe my eyes.

Why are you interested in

coming to my place at this hour?

Who is this?

A little sister I know.

Can I stay

at your place for the night?

No problem.

Thank you.

No problem. You are most welcome.

I'm flattered that a handsome man like you

would ask for my help.

All right then.

You are really something, young lady.

It's the first time in years

that Xiao has brought a lady to me.

I have plenty of room here. Big rooms are downstairs.

The upstairs rooms have large windows and good view,

but there are many mosquitoes at night.

Where would you like to stay?

Either one.

Either one will do.

Are you sure?

Okay, second floor then.

I'll put the mosquito-repellent incense on for you.

Thank you.

Such a sweet lady.

Let's go.

This way.

You are quite polite.

(Welcome) You are quite polite.

(Welcome)

(Welcome) I guess

(Welcome)

(Welcome) you're still a student.

(Welcome)

No, I'm a teacher.

So you're an intellectual.

A lecturer?

No.

Then what do you teach?

I teach drawing.

That's even better. So you're an artist.

Then you and Xiao Han are on the same page.

I heard people say

that Xiao Han is also...

Yes, a horticulturist. A gardening artist.

It's also art anyway.

Do you know a lot about Xiao Han?

Not really.

Xiao Han is a very distant person

who has been in Xiaozhou Village for years.

He doesn't interact

with us commoners.

I heard

all about him from Fatty.

So you like Xiao Han?

Do you like him?

Yes.

I've been courting him for years,

but he just ignores me.

I like him.

Let me tell you, not only me,

but all the women

in Xiaozhou Village,

have a crush on Xiao Han.

How about Man?

Man?

She is not as good as me. What does she have?

All she has is the shabby salon

that her grandfather left her.

Her house location is not good as mine, too.

Let me tell you.

Half of

the shops on this street are rented from me.

I'm just so bored that I opened this inn

so I could have people over for a chat once in a while.

You're not only a rich landlady,

but also beautiful.

Really? Am I pretty?

Yes, prettier than Man.

You are so sweet. Let's go in.

Wait here. I will bring some fruit

and let's talk about Xiao Han.

Okay, thank you.

See you later.

Bye.

I am prettier than Man.

That's for sure.

What are you drawing? Monkey?

Monkey King.

So it's Sun Wukong.

Why are you drawing this?

Is it for Xiao Han?

Yes.

Still, you shouldn't have drawn Sun Wukong.

Draw Tang Sanzang instead.

You've got a point.

Right? You can draw

some pretty fairies on the side.

A lot of fairies.

That's it. I will help you.

I know what they look like. Here.

What do you think of my drawing?

Not bad.

Are you free later?

Yes.

If you like it,

why don't you treat me to a nice meal?

Just here will be fine. You cook.

Xiao Li said

you are a good cook.

I would like to try it.

She has never eaten any food I cooked.

Fatty said the same thing.

He made it up.

I will know after I taste it.

What would you like to eat?

Anything light.

Thank you.

Eat up.

Xiao Li is right.

You are indeed a good cook.

Do you often cook?

Rarely.

Then I should eat more

because I don't know

when I'll get another chance.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Xiao Han.

Let me give you another drawing.

What drawing?

A portrait

of you.

Forget it.

Are you scared?

Why should I be be scared?

You're afraid I'll make you ugly.

You think too much.

Let's do it.

Just like last time in the studio,

you just sit still.

♪I ask if this is a good place♪

♪You look up and say nothing♪

♪You hug me and kiss me♪

♪Yet it feels like you're kissing him♪

♪I believe there must be some love♪

♪That you can give me♪

♪Half of your love♪

♪My little wish is that you would give me a little of it♪

♪Your heart♪

♪Has been completely devoted to him for a long time♪

Done. What do you think?

♪I say endless silly things♪

Not bad.

Are you complimenting the drawing

or me?

You.

Should I treat you to another meal?

No,

but you can

be my nude model for once

and perhaps I'll do better.

Is that why you have been

coming to me so many times?

What do you think of me?

♪Don't you fade in my dream♪

You smiled. It means you are not rejecting.

I actually like you a lot.

Why don't we just start dating?

♪In my dream♪

♪I'm falling down♪

♪I'm falling into you♪

I missed it.

No way.

Are you kidding me?

You are blushing.

I'm not.

Your ears are red.

My ears are not red.

I found out early on

that you get nervous when I touch your ear.

I'm not nervous.

I'll send you home.

I'll come back tomorrow.

You don't need to send me today.

I'll go back myself.
