[Yun Pian]

I wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year personally.

There will be cold air in town in a few days.

Remember to keep your wrist warm.

[Chi Zhongyu]

[School Anniversary]

How did Yellow get in?

[White Goat and Black Goat] [Best gift for Valentine's Day]

[Happy Valentine's Day]

Are you bored?

Not really.

I'm just not used to

doing nothing except for eating and sleeping.

Let's watch a movie tonight.

Sure.

I'll go back and dress up.

I'm done.

Aren't you cold?

No.

Let's go.

Don't move.

There's some dust on your forehead.

Thank you very much.

That is hairline shadow powder.

Why are you grabbing two chairs?

Let's go.

Sit here.

Whatever.

I'll go home and get changed.

Didn't you just change...

Here.

Where did you get these?

I borrowed it.

It's hot.

Are you cold?

Do you want some? It's still hot.

No, you eat.

This is so funny.

Put your hand back.

Isn't it funny?

Not really.

You're hard to amuse.

We should go back too.

Stay. I'll throw the trash away.

[Parting]

♫Flowers bloom in front of the door♫

[Parting]

♫like in a fairy tale♫

♫In your eyes♫

♫There is a starry sky♫

♫A meteor falls from above♫

♫No matter how long the road is♫

♫You are my orientation♫

Siqing.

♫Snow is cold♫

♫We're traveling through the wind and rain together♫

♫Give up♫

♫My lonely life now is filled with lights♫

♫Luckily, I have met you♫

♫No matter how much wind and rain are on the way♫

♫Your love♫

♫The longing comes fiercely♫

♫like in a fairy tale♫

♫A flower blooms like a gentle smile♫

♫No more obsession♫

♫My love lasts lives and beyond♫

I'm not hard to amuse.

♫From now on, we'll grow old together♫

Just with you by my side,

I can't care about anything else.

Give me your phone.

Let me download an app for you.

Jing Chen.

Your phone.

Here's a watch.

After you finish your work,

try connecting it to Bluetooth.

You can answer the phone and check the news with it.

[In Call]

I'll be in Jing Garden in half an hour.

I hope we can

get the lease signed this afternoon.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Okay, thank you.

[Yun Pian]

[Decline] [Accept]

Hello, Miss Yun.

Okay, send me your location.

I'll be right there.

[Jing Garden Parking Area]

[Jing Garden Parking Area]

Thank you, Manager Si.

Just call me Siqing.

I live nearby.

It's not troublesome.

Then, let's be friends.

Sure.

This is my first time

becoming friends with a client.

What a coincidence.

It's my first time

making friends with girls.

Do you want some water?

Sure.

Is this okay?

Okay.

The doctor said you have a serious stomach disorder.

You'd better stay in the hospital for observation.

It's old.

I've been seriously controlling my weight lately.

That's why it relapsed again.

It's not good for your health to lose too much weight.

I'll look fat on camera.

Thank you.

Here.

Are you married?

You've been with your husband since school?

Of course not.

Why do you ask?

Your wedding ring is exquisite.

But it's not from a famous brand.

I'm afraid it even cost less than your purse.

When we were on the phone,

I was already in the suburbs.

You said you lived nearby.

It means your husband's property is...

So I guess his financial condition

is not as good as yours.

Normally,

single career women at our age

are more realistic when it comes to finding a partner.

We'd rather be single than find a burden.

Unless

you've done a lot for him,

and you won't give up until you get him.

Am I being too direct and offending you?

No.

I just didn't expect

that the artist

would be so realistic about marriage too.

I thought you were all romantic.

Love is romantic.

Yet marriage is all about reality.

Pursuing romance

doesn't mean accepting marriage.

Anyway, in my life plan,

there is no possibility of marriage.

What if you meet someone you like?

Then it's even less likely for me to get married.

Just like me,

he won't believe in marriage either.

It's 4:40 p.m.

You have a voice reminder.

Please check your WeChat

and urge your wife to go home for dinner.

[Jing Chen]

[Decline] [Accept]

Mrs. Jing.

What do you want for dinner?

The last day of the holiday,

you can order whatever you want.

I'm in the hospital.

Which hospital?

What's wrong?

It's not me.

It's my friend.

Make whatever you want for dinner.

I'll be back soon.

See you later.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I'm thinking about my first love.

Actually,

I was going to find him today.

If it weren't for my stomach problems,

we should be together now.

Why didn't you call him just now?

Reunion for the first time in six years.

How could I be in such a mess to meet him?

Men and women all focus on appearance.

We need to keep a sense of mystery.

I plan to give him a surprise

at the school anniversary next week.

Hope you can succeed.

♫Back in the early days♫

♫I used to play those games♫

♫Until I realized that none of them was true♫

♫I knew I'd work it out, I never had no doubt♫

♫I didn't think that I would meet someone like you♫

I'm off to work.

Drive safe.

♫Everything about you makes me feel so right♫

[In the courtyard there was the loquat]

♫All of my life I've been searching for you♫

♫Someone to change that all of that I knew♫

[My wife planted the year she died]

♫Open my eyes and I know I've finally found what I love♫

[Its leaves are bitter in taste and slightly cold in nature]

[Boil the juice out and drink it to relieve coughing]

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Everyone, gather for the morning meeting.

Anbang is coming.

Stand still. Anbang will be here soon.

Good morning, colleagues.

Good.

Very good.

Great.

Check the appearance.

President, please speak.

I have nothing more to say.

Just one thing.

You should know the task

for this season.

If you haven't met the target for the ETC, E-bank, and credit card,

you should hurry up.

Besides,

I want to praise Siqing.

She has exceeded all her goals

for this quarter.

Let's praise her with love.

Good.

Very good.

Great.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

This is for you.

Okay, thank you.

Why don't you ask your disciple to buy it for you?

Him?

I'd be grateful if he didn't make any trouble.

Today is the school anniversary of the Academy of Art.

He's on leave to attend it.

I almost forgot.

He's from the Academy of Art.

Your partner is more likely to be a student at an art academy than he is.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Not likely.

He is.

♫Hey you, can I recommend, mend♫

♫That you tell all your friends, friends♫

[CAA] [School Anniversary Exhibition]

♫That I really need to spend, spend♫

♫Time with you at the weekend♫

♫Hey you, can I recommend, mend♫

♫That you tell all your friends, friends♫

♫Streets are crowded, but not when♫

♫It's you and me and the weekend♫

Chen.

Hurry up.

♫Always with the friends♫

Today's canteen has

limited crispy pork.

♫Will it ever end?♫

I'm going to queue up.

♫Always chatting on the phone♫

♫When I called, you're never home♫

♫Too busy cruising on those streets♫

[China Academy of Art]

♫Instead of thinking about me♫

♫Checking others on the bus♫

No way.

You even don't want to eat such dishes.

You just want to show it off in front of me, right?

Ai Li.

Let me ask you.

If you go to the reunion,

other classmates

all drive fancy cars with luxury bags,

and you're the only one riding a bike

and carrying a canvas bag...

There's no if.

I would never go if I lived such a miserable life.

What if you're already there?

What can I do to make you feel proud?

Are you worried about your husband?

They are studying art.

They may not be as vain as we are.

I just make a living in the Bureau of Municipal Construction

for the housing provident fund to buy a house.

You're better than me.

You start your own company.

Don't mention it.

We're all the same.

My business is good,

but the four years of art are down the drain.

I get all my orders by drinking.

Look at my belly.

If I go out now

and tell them I majored in sculpture,

no one will believe me.

They all believe that

I'm just a lombard.

It's better than having nothing to eat.

I set up a studio.

Oh my god.

I didn't have a single order for half a year.

Now I'm doing live streaming

and begging for contributions.

I didn't know you artists were so miserable.

Didn't I just make them hate him?

What hate?

Master, don't worry.

I'm here.

No one dares talk ill about your husband.

Ding Mao, stand with me here.

Ding Mao, I saw the art prodigy in your class just now.

He parked downstairs just now.

He didn't get fat or bald.

He still looks great.

The air in the countryside is good for people.

To be honest,

the environment in his hometown is really good.

The day before yesterday, I was going to invest in an art circle.

When I was on the field visit,

I saw him pushing a cart of wood.

If he hadn't come to say hello,

I almost wouldn't have recognized him.

No way.

He had a lot of offers when he graduated.

He must have gone abroad.

The society

is different from the school.

All the teachers and classmates admired him back then.

He was in the limelight all the time, wasn't he?

After seeing me, the second-best of all time,

he, the future of the Academy of Art,

had to lick my boots

so that I could set up the art zone in his place

and he could earn some rent.

Who's barking there?

Brother, one crispy pork.

Thank you.

There's no pork left.

I flew back from Hainan this morning...

You want pork? Let me feed you.

Today is the school anniversary. Don't mess around.

Chen, I've put up with him for a long time.

He liked to pick on you at school

and always played dirty tricks.

Disgusting.

But we still can't waste food.

I've told you many times.

Dogs can't have salt.

You can't feed this.

[Hello, Ms. Si. Your item is being delivered.]

Jing Chen.

You tell them if I am talking nonsense.

Don't you live in the countryside and do nothing now?

Yes.

That's right.

Actually,

I admire your talent.

Join me.

I can offer you a job.

You can afford a car and a house

in Nancheng in three years.

I don't need them.

Mr. Jing Chen.

Who is Mr. Jing Chen?

I am.

Mr. Jing Chen, there is a bouquet of flowers for you.

Turn up the volume on your phone to maximum

and put me on the speakerphone.

OK.

Are these dollars real?

Of course.

Counterfeit in front of a group of art students?

I'm sorry.

Please send the flowers back.

If you return it now,

tomorrow you'll receive

a bouquet of 999 flowers made of dollars.

Mr. Jing,

I really admire your talent.

My house is full of your works.

Please accept

this little gift from your fan.

He still got it.

Stop it.

I'll sign for it now.

Remember to keep it well for me.

We have to return the dollars.

999.

That's hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Use dollars to make a gift.

How could he need a job from someone?

Who knows if he puts on a show himself

to keep up his appearance?

There are

999 hundred-dollar bills.

Why don't you put on a show with dollars too?

I think Prodigy's fan runs a bank.

No. She's my wife.

The customer manager of the Chengxi sub-branch

of the Nancheng Commercial Bank.

You can find her if you need.

Senior Jing Chen.

Senior Jing Chen.

A senior sister asked me to give you a flower.

She's really...

There's a big surprise in the art hall.

Handsome guys are really different from ordinary people.

Chen, you are right.

Your wife loves you so much.

It's a waste

to throw my pork to the dog.

Senior.

Here.

Senior.

Senior.

Senior, this is for you.

Senior, this is from me.

Mine.

And mine.

Thank you.

When did you get here?

Are you afraid that your dollars...
