=Episode 11=

Let's go.

I'm not leaving.

He Ran, seriously?

You're just going to a college. Why are you crying like that?

Ranran.

What's the matter? Are you okay?

Ranran, it's okay.

You can come back during the summer break.

Mother.

Take me to the airport.

Don't cry. It's okay.

It's okay. Stop crying.

Let's go.

(Xijing September)

(Taekwondo)

(Annual Sports Meeting)

(Photography Club Recruiting)

Which clubs are you planning to join?

I went to the recruitment field.

I think Taekwondo is good

for physical fitness.

Forget about it.

A friend of mine who is a year older than us

joined Taekwondo last year

and was forced to do leg stretch.

He didn't last a week there.

Pick something you like to do,

based on your own interests.

It's important to be well-rounded.

It's definitely rewarding.

Anyone who has been there knows it.

You got a point.

Interest is the most important.

I'm not going to go through that.

Li Yun, which one are you going to join?

My family wants me to go abroad for further studies.

So I have to take the TOEFL and IELTS exams.

I'm not good at English.

I don't have time for this.

Jingjing, what about you?

I'm in need of money.

I have to work as a tutor in my spare time to earn money.

You seem to come from a decent family.

I can't believe you need to earn your own tuition.

That's not it.

I want to travel abroad on holiday,

but my parents said

I have to work hard

to build a good life.

That's why I do odd jobs.

Which one should I join?

I'm a person who can't be idle.

I have to find something

that interests me.

That's it.

Focus on your interest.

You've come to your senses.

Take a look at this.

Don't you want to develop a hobby?

This art club is exceptional.

Seriously? How do you know?

I'm serious. Our senior had joined it.

Look.

This is the president.

Handsome, right?

He is quite good-looking.

He studies painting.

He must be very artistic.

However,

I don't know anyone

in the new club.

I'm afraid I won't fit in.

It will be so awkward.

I'm not very outgoing.

Besides, I can't draw either.

Will I become

a joke at the art club?

He Ran.

Can you draw?

Yes, He Ran.

I see that you have painting tools under the table.

You look very professional.

Do you want to join the art club with me?

Then I can ask you if I have any problems.

I'm not interested.

Just go with her.

The president of the art club is really handsome.

By the way, I forgot to ask you.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Yes, He Ran.

We're all still single.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Yes.

She has.

That summer,

she fell in love with a man.

No one knew about it.

What did she say?

She said she has a boyfriend.

Seriously?

Do you believe her?

No.

Why not?

She's not bad looking.

She's quite a looker.

Given her personality, no.

That's true. She seems quite gloomy.

Yes.

When I first met her,

we were afraid to talk to her.

She's not that scary.

She's just a bit of an introvert and not talkative.

That's not it.

It's her whole persona that exudes

an aura of indifference

and coldness.

Isn't it?

Yes.

Exactly.

You go.

(Han Yu)

Pass it to her.

He Ran, your phone keeps ringing.

It rang a few times.

It's someone called Han Yu.

Is he your boyfriend?

Ignore him.

But it keeps ringing.

Maybe it's something urgent.

Then help me turn off my phone. Thank you.

Hang it up.

Come here.

Okay.

What's going on?

I don't think that's her boyfriend.

Who treats their boyfriends

with such an attitude?

You're right.

You got a point.

Maybe she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Let's make a bet.

Three burgers.

Ten burgers.

Okay, I'm in.

I think she has a boyfriend.

Then I bet she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Ten burgers. You'll lose for sure.

I believe she has,

but not Han Yu.

A mysterious...

Man.

He Ran, I left your phone on

in case there was an emergency.

He Ran.

What took you so long to answer my calls?

I've called you a dozen times.

I thought something happened to you.

Seriously.

Do you ever think of me as a friend?

You've been in Xijing for so long,

yet you never come to me unless I reach out to you.

I'm so disappointed.

Of course,

I'm too popular

in my workplace.

So I've been busy.

But I call you

as soon as I'm done.

What are you calling for?

I miss you.

No other reason.

What, am I not allowed to call you?

You're so boring.

I'll hang up now.

Wait.

Don't hang up.

I have a surprise for you.

What surprise?

He Ran!

I'm outside your dorm.

Surprise, right?

Come on down.

I'm not in the dorm.

You're not?

Then where are you?

I am outside to do something.

But...

Don't look for me.

Wait.

Let's go.

He's not bad looking.

He's dressed like an idol star.

She doesn't even fancy this kind of man.

I wonder how her boyfriend is.

Is he

really not her boyfriend?

Certainly not.

Look at her attitude toward him.

No man can stand that.

And I think

the guy downstairs is pretty good.

You're drooling.

(Tropical Flowers)

Excuse me.

Is this painting book still available?

Monet's book is out of stock.

This is a limited edition,

of which there are only three in the store.

This is the last one left.

You can take a look at other painters' book.

Thank you.

You can have it.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'll give you an address.

Can you mail it for me?

Sure. Where would you like to mail it to?

Chuanxi.

Thank you.

No problem.

Hello.

Hello.

Not that. Look at me.

What's wrong?

This one fits me so well.

Do you think it suits you?

Can you fit?

(House agent Mr. Zhang)

(OK, I want to see the house. When is convenient for you?)

Thank you Jingjing for

(What about tomorrow afternoon?) buying me a dress.

(I'll see you then.)

(Han Yu)

He Ran.

My birthday is next Saturday.

If you don't show up,

I'll cut you off,

believe it or not.

Okay, send me the address.

So you're still very considerate.

Make sure you look good.

For what?

Is it your birthday or mine?

Of course it's me.

Still,

you have to dress up

for my sake.

If you need a pretty girl,

I'll get my friend.

I promise all of them are pretty,

smart and kind.

You will not

be disappointed.

He Ran, stop kidding me.

Okay, I'll hang up.

Be nice

and don't come empty-handed.

Remember to buy me a present.

Shut up. Bye.

He Ran.

We meet again.

You are He Ran, right?

Do you remember me?

We met at the bookstore.

I don't remember.

(Diner)

Hello.

Hello.

This one.

I want this one.

Okay, miss.

Is it the birthday of an elderly family member?

If it's a gift for an elder,

we have a newly arrived

longevity gold foil gift box.

I can use that to pack for you.

It will look more stylish.

Okay.

Here.

The landlord of this house

seems to be from your university, too.

He bought this house in his freshman year.

House prices have skyrocketed in recent years.

He made a lot of money.

It's a good thing to have

some investment insight.

Is the place soundproof?

Don't worry. These are solid walls.

RMB800 a month is fine.

I need it urgently.

When can I sign the contract?

If you have made up your mind,

you can pay the deposit today.

The landlord is

coming over this afternoon with the title deeds.

You can meet him in person

and feel at ease when you sign the contract.

Okay.

Well,

the landlord lived here

when he was at college.

I guess he shares your view.

He must have found the dorm too crowded and noisy

and preferred to live on his own, which was rather quiet.

He is a postgraduate sophomore.

After graduation, he will go back to Qiongzhou to work.

He left for his internship

and asked us to rent out the house.

You found us the day

after we put it online.

Why are there so many painting tools here?

Does he draw too?

These seem to have been left behind by the landlord

and perhaps not disposed of.

If you think they're in the way,

we'll have someone move them out.

It's okay.

I won't be using much space. Just leave them here.

No need to bother you.

All right.

When the landlord comes over, ask him what to do with them.

He got here quickly enough.

I told you this place is strategic.

It takes only 15 minutes to get from campus to here.

Mr. Zhang, you are here.

Come on in.

Let me introduce you.

This is the landlord and she is...

(Boundless Happiness)

(Boundless Happiness) No. What are you wearing?

(Boundless Happiness)

Why are you wearing a cap

to my birthday party?

I forgot to wash my hair today.

I didn't want to embarrass you.

I'll take it off if I don't like it.

That's better.

(Live a Long life)

(Live a Long life) What is this?

(Live a Long life) A gift. Open it.

(Boundless Happiness)

(Boundless Happiness) "I wish you boundless happiness

(Live a Long life) and a long, long life."

You...

You wrapped it up like it was a gift for my grandfather.

I had it specially wrapped.

This...

What is this ugly thing?

What's ugly about it?

I remember you used to like to wear this kind of thing.

I... No.

My previous one was

different from this one, okay?

Mine was a limited edition.

What on earth is this?

Why is it different?

This one is much heavier,

more expensive and in better condition

than your limited edition.

Boss.

I think He Ran must have

done it on purpose.

Shut up.

No.

You didn't buy this

at that night market you mentioned

that costs RMB5 a metre, did you?

Of course not.

I bought it from a proper gold shop

and chose the heaviest for you,

which is very expensive.

Are you serious?

If you don't believe me, try biting it.

Bite?

Do you even know fashion?

Mine is definitely different from this.

Fine.

Forget it.

Let me introduce.

This is my new band.

- New faces. - Did your previous band

flop?

No. This is

an upgrade.

Of course, the centre is still me.

Zhang Yimin.

You've seen him before.

Li Nan has changed his profession.

So I eliminated him.

This is my new bass player,

Wang Da.

There's another one

who hasn't arrived yet.

She's a beauty,

from the same campus as you.

She has a bit of a thing

for our boss.

Don't talk nonsense.

Yes, don't talk nonsense.

Our boss

has someone in mind.

He has

remained faithful all these years.

Right, boss?

Yes.

Sorry for being late.

Happy birthday, Han Yu.

Thank you.

Let me introduce.

This is my cousin.

We ran into each other.

So I brought him along. Hope you don't mind.

I don't mind.

Come one. Be my guest.

Have a seat.

This is Han Yu,

our main vocalist.

I told you about him.

Hello.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Your cousin

speaks very softly.

He's quite different from you.

That's why we are cousins.

He looks a bit like a celebrity.

Cheers.

Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday, boss. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Eat up. Don't be shy.

You are He Ran, right?

Yes, it's me.

However, I have no special relationship

with the person on my left.

He Ran.

Can you show me some respect?

Someone is willing to do that for you.

Who?

Well...

Don't listen to their nonsense.

And don't get the wrong idea. There's really nothing between us.

I'm not getting the wrong idea

and neither should you.

There's nothing between us, too.

No.

I'm not so bad, am I?

If you don't get along with me, who will you get along with?

The celebrity-looking guy.

I think he's pretty good.

Do you two know each other?

No,

but we'll get to know each other

when he gives me a ride home.

He dares?

If he dares,

I'll fight him.

Listen.

None of the cousins are good.

What a strange perception you have.

That's how it is in martial arts dramas.

Han Yu.

I think you should go to the hospital tomorrow.

Why

should I go to the hospital? I'm in good health.

Test your IQ.

I don't think your IQ

is above 70.

Seven...

Have you taken the test?

How much are you?

Around 140.

Thank you.

Look how caring he is.

He's far more sensible than you are.

What can you do?

Don't move.

Nobody move.

Thank you.

No.

This...

Who's so insensitive?

How dare you laugh.

And you.

Big star.

Handsome brother, happy birthday to you.

Listen.

No one is allowed to take He Ran home today,

especially that cousin.

I'm not drunk. I'll drive.

Tell the group when you guys get home.

Okay, through WeChat.

I really like you. I'll add your WeChat later.

See you.

Take care.

I should have helped out.

Let's go.

He Ran, wait.

Yes?

You left hastily this afternoon

and forgot your keys.

I don't need the keys. I'm not renting the house.

Sorry

to bother you today.

I'll reimburse the agent for any subsequent losses.

You can deal with the agent.

Bye.

He Ran.

I think you have

some misunderstanding about me.

No.

You're overthinking it.

No, I'm not.

What I want you to know is that

I really don't have any bad intentions for you.

I thought about it.

I think you must have misunderstood me

because of some coincidence.

I promise it was really just a coincidence.

And I found out about your name

because I studied painting with

a teacher for a few years.

I met your father at that teacher's house.

Your father

showed us many pictures

of you as a child.

Even though it's been so many years,

I feel like

you haven't changed much.

I thought you looked familiar

the first time I saw you in the bookstore.

I bumped into you again in the colouring class.

So I asked my junior

to look up the list of new students in the art department.

When I saw your name, I was sure it was you.

Your father was my idol.

So I was really surprised

to meet you at the campus.

I may have been

a bit overzealous,

- So... - No.

I overthought it.

You are

a very wary person.

What are you laughing at?

Well,

I just thought of a phrase.

What phrase?

The wheel of fortune turns.

What

does that mean?

I

suddenly thought of something from the past.

Just an afterthought to express my feelings.

Why are you following me?

Do you want to send me home?

No.

It's inappropriate.

Why are you backing away?

Didn't you say it was a misunderstanding?

Yes,

it was a misunderstanding.

But the way you just asked me

made me nervous.

Okay, you don't have to send me.

Give me the keys.

Why? Did you decide to rent again?

Since it was a misunderstanding,

I don't have to worry about the house.

I can offer you a cheaper rent.

No, I don't like

taking advantage of people.

Okay. Up to you.

I will pay the rent

to your account regularly.

That's it.

Wait.

What now?

One more thing.

I wonder if you are interested

to join our art club.

I'm graduating

and you can take my position as president.

Your level is far above mine.

You're definitely up to the task.

No, I'm not interested.

Our art club has many great social activities.

We often go on

outings, sketching and so on.

We also hold regular

charity exhibitions

and have auctions of finished paintings,

which are all painted by our members themselves.

All proceeds

will be used to buy new painting tools and books

to donate to the students in the orphanage.

This activity has been running for three years now

and it's very meaningful.

How about this?

Give me the bank account.

I'll donate some money, too.

No, I...

I didn't mean that.

We don't need money.

Then what do you want me to do?

If it's convenient,

I'd like you to

provide a few finished paintings for the exhibition.

Our exhibition will be

a great success with your paintings.

You flatter me.

How can I be compared to my father?

But if you want me to help,

no problem.

I happen to have

a few paintings at my place.

I can provide them to you.

If anyone wants to buy it,

you can do some good with the proceeds.

Okay?

Okay.

It's a deal then.

It's a deal.

I'll get going now.

Okay.

See you next time.

Goodbye.

He Ran.

You didn't return yesterday.

The mailroom lady downstairs said

that some art students came

to pick up some paintings,

saying that it was already agreed.

I tried to call you but couldn't get through.

They said the exhibition starts today

and they were in a hurry.

I saw a couple of wrapped ones

next to your desk

and thought those must be the ones.

So I took them down to them.

No problem, right?

No problem. Thank you.

Great. No trouble at all.

Also,

are you really going to rent a house outside?

Are you sure you don't want to stay in the dorm?

Could it be that we are too noisy

and affect your rest?

No, I don't have a routine.

I'm used to living alone.

I see.

I thought it was because you were annoyed with us.

By the way, are you moving out today?

One more thing.

There was a painting on the top of that shelf.

It was unpacked.

I took it down to them as well.

It looked like

a flower.

Yes, it was a flower.

He Ran, what's wrong?

Did I take it wrong?

Not that painting.

I'm sorry.

I...

Oh, no.

Sorry.

The number you've dialled...

Take a look.

(The basketball club is recruiting) This is our brochure.

(The basketball club is recruiting) Where is the charity art exhibition?

(The basketball club is recruiting) It's over there.

It's over there.

Okay, thank you.

No problem.

Sorry.

The number you've dialled is currently unavailable.

It's a mistake. There is a painting that cannot be exhibited.

Okay.

What happened yesterday was our mistake.

I apologise on behalf of them.

It's okay.

A friend at the gallery told me

that this painting was picked up on the day of the exhibition.

Are you willing to sell it?

No.

If you're open to it,

he's willing to pay more.

It is priceless in my heart.

Did you paint

Xiaozhou village?

How do you know Xiaozhou Village?

If I'm not mistaken,

I believe the place painted

is the garden in the central lake.

Yes.

You got it right.

Han Yu!

- This place is so generous. - Han Yu.

The stage set-up for this fan appreciation event

is so classy.

These are all real trees and flowers.

No wonder it smells like a forest.

Have we

met before?

You must be mistaken.

Wait.

Xiaozhou Village,

right?

You are a relative of the little girl.

I sent her home.

What a coincidence.

I can smell the forest

every time I run into you.

You are

a man of few words.

What about the little girl?

Is she still living at your house?

She's back at her hometown.

Hometown?

Where is her hometown?

Yu.

Don't disturb him. Let's go.

The event...

I'm sorry.

I've been working in Xijing for the past six months

and I've just returned to Qiongzhou.

I ran into you as soon as I got back.

I guess we're fated.

I...

The goddess is here.

- Really? - Yes.

Yes.

Are you free later?

If you are free, join us.

We have an appreciation event here.

It will be

a great show.

We also have good food and drink.

Come and join us.

Yu.

He is quite handsome.

Really?

He's just a gardener.

He has an aura, you know.

This kind of guy will definitely attract girls.

I'm serious.

- Really. - No way.

The goddess is here.

- Really? - Yes.

Congratulations.

You found your child.
