=Episode 22=

How did it go?

How was the battlefield today?

Don't mention it.

I was standing in front of the coffee shop counter

for a whole day,

but

he didn't come to our coffee shop to buy coffee.

He went to the coffee shop on the next block.

I was so frustrated.

But I didn't give up.

I asked for permission and went there.

I was quite lucky.

The shop's business was quite good.

The line was long.

I happened to line up behind him.

I was watching his back.

I was so happy.

Wait a second.

You only watched him?

Why didn't you take the initiative

to say hi to him?

Why did you just hide behind him?

I was afraid.

If he doesn't remember who I am,

it's going to be embarrassing.

After all, we've just met once.

Also, I think that

watching him from behind

feels good.

Do you know that

his shoulders are super wide?

It looks really safe.

Standing next to him

makes me look tiny.

You?

You looked tiny?

Yes, I'm not tall.

Look.

My bones are small.

Look at He Ran.

Compare yourself with her.

He Ran looks skinny,

but she's not healthy.

Why are you talking like that?

Oh, yes.

The head of department told me that

He Ran took a break

because of her health.

So, the head of department asked us

to take care of her.

That's right.

No one likes to be called sick.

He Ran's changed a lot

after she came back.

I believe she's trying to get along with us.

I got it.

♪I've come alone to the street♪

(Sick betta, selling at a lower price)

♪Gentleman, please listen to me♪

What's wrong with it?

The tail is having a little calcification.

I'm selling it cheap.

Look at your flair.

Buy the big blue tail.

Calcification?

How do I explain to you?

It's like having a tumour,

but it's not affecting the fish's health.

Can it be treated?

Of course it can.

It's just troublesome.

Think about it.

You have to remove the calcification spots.

You also have to clean it.

You need to put fish medicine every day.

But it's no guarantee that it will heal.

The colour mark could be there forever.

After all, I've tried all I can.

I'll sell it or throw it away.

If you like fish,

we can check out upstairs.

There are bigger and nicer fishes.

I want this.

- The pink one. - Are you...

Are you sure you want this?

Give me a nice aquarium for it.

And the fish medicine you mentioned

for the calcification.

Okay.

Let me calculate.

The betta is RMB100.

The bottled fish medicine is RMB25.

The fish food is RMB15.

The mercury thermometer is RMB10.

The sea almond water is RMB35.

I want to buy it with the original price.

What?

Although it's sick,

it shouldn't be devaluated.

I want to buy it with the original price.

I understand.

It's Xiaobai's blessing to be able to meet

a heart-warming owner like you.

Hold on. Let me recalculate.

Xiaobai.

RMB800.

The bottled fish medicine is RMB25.

The fish food is RMB15. The mercury thermometer is RMB10.

The sea almond water is RMB35.

♪My dream is in the time♪

It's all original price.

♪A shooting star♪

♪Has spent all my lifetime luck♪

Sisters,

I've done

something really daring today.

What did you do?

I was following him for a while.

Did he find out about you?

Of course not.

What was he doing? Tell us.

He bought a fish.

He bought a fish?

Yes.

It's a big-tailed fish.

I've checked. It's called

betta.

This one.

It looks like this fish.

Why did he buy a fish?

I don't know.

He's really special.

He revolves around flowers and fishes.

I feel like I'm a little curious about him now.

He's just really special.

He is...

He's charming.

Do you know what?

He's full of

a sense of mystery.

A sense of mystery?

What a shame.

I still don't know his name.

You said you wanted to lose 25kg for love.

I'm not really having an appetite lately.

Excuse me.

The visual just now

had a perfect angle,

so I took a picture.

I took a nice picture.

Look.

I can send you the picture.

Do you remember me?

I came to take my phone the other day.

I'm working in the coffee shop next door.

Thanks to your help the other day.

It'd be troublesome if I had lost my phone.

Your fish is beautiful. It's betta, isn't it?

I'm planning to keep a fish too.

Well,

I want to have bonsai.

What's your recommendation?

It's you.

Didn't you

come to the shop to buy flowers before?

Do you want to buy something this time?

No, there's nothing I like.

I'm just looking around.

Okay.

Take care.

Let's go, Ding Xiaoran. Let's go for a meal.

I'm not going. I have no appetite.

That's odd.

What's happened? Are you sick?

She's missing someone.

The flower shop has been closed for a few days.

The "closed temporarily" sign has been hanging there.

I've looked in from the window for a few times.

There's no one in there.

Will I not be able to see him again?

I don't think so.

Is he leaving without saying goodbye?

He is not leaving without saying goodbye.

After all, we don't know each other.

All right. Stop thinking.

Come with us to a meal.

You don't even know his name

and you're crazy about him.

Do you need to go to that extend?

That's right. Let's go.

I'm not going.

I can't eat.

So sad.

He Ran, are you going?

I'm not going.

Then we're going now.

Bye bye.

He Ran.

Are you and your boyfriend okay?

I don't see him coming to visit you.

The person who visited me

is not my boyfriend.

I'm happy that he's not coming anymore.

I see.

What about your boyfriend?

My boyfriend?

He's not by my side.

Where is he then?

It's about the same as you.

He's not by my side anymore.

But,

the one who left without saying goodbye was me.

I see.

How long have you not been seeing him?

How long?

It's been quite a while.

A few months.

Maybe half a year.

I don't remember anymore.

Half a year?

Would you have

forgotten how he looks?

Xiao Han.

Let me look at you.

Didn't you want to look at me?

I'm not looking at you

with my eyes.

I'm looking at you with my heart.

You're here.

I'll keep you in my heart.

No.

How will I ever forget how he looks?

Unless I'm dead

one day

and my heart is not beating anymore.

Otherwise, I won't forget about how he looks.

Yes, I suddenly remember that

I've taken his picture.

My cousin's coffee shop was having an event.

I brought my SLR camera there

to take pictures for them.

Then I found him in the shop.

So I went in.

At that time,

he was staring blankly at the aquarium.

He didn't notice me at all.

So I took the camera

and took a picture of him.

But he's a nice person.

He found out that I was taking his picture,

but he didn't ask me to delete it.

Do you want to take a look at the picture?

Okay.

Thank you.

He Ran.

Actually,

I think you're a nice person.

Thank you

for the second part of your words.

He Ran, you know what?

Actually,

when I met you for the first time,

we were a little afraid of you.

You looked like you don't talk to strangers

and you looked cold.

When I was talking to you,

you didn't really respond to me.

But,

after you came back this time,

you've become so gentle.

Look, you're even talking to me

and comforting me.

You even took my camera for me.

Found it.

This is the picture.

He Ran,

do you want to take a look?

No. You can enjoy it on your own.

Jingjing and Li Yun wanted to see it,

but I didn't let them see it.

I'm afraid they'll like him and compete with me for him.

Are you not afraid that

I'll like him

and compete with you for him?

No.

I think

he's not your type

because

he's just an ordinary man.

But,

he's not that ordinary.

What you said makes me want to look at it too.

What a shame.

I still don't know

his name.

♪I want you to stay♪

♪Don't leave me here alone♪

Are you done looking at it?

Give it back to me.

That's the only picture I have.

Don't delete it accidentally.

I have yet to print it.

He Ran.

He Ran.

His name is Xiao Han.

What did you say?

I said,

his name is Xiao Han.

Do you know each other?

No.

How did you get to know his name?

By chance.

I heard his friend called him that.

You've been to that flower shop?

You're lucky.

I've been there many times

but I haven't heard any of his friends calling him his name.

But

I think I'm quite lucky

to have met him.

Have you watched Casablanca?

There is a particularly classic line in it.

(There are so many cities in the world.)

(There are so many bars in the city.)

(But she came into mine.)

(There are so many cities in the world.)

(There are so many flower shop in the city.)

(But I went into his.)

He Ran,

don't you think I'm lucky?

I'm not sure about your luck.

I feel like I have really good luck.

Everything will be better later on.

♪That love is pain♪

First of all, I want to order 100 green plants.

Then

I want him

to decorate the graduation ceremony.

The graduation ceremony team?

Isn't that the organisation department

and publicity department's job?

How did you get in there?

I have a hometown friend in the publicity department.

We're close.

She's the vice president.

So this time,

I've requested to do the decoration at the graduation ceremony

and the conference hall.

Decoration

takes a lot of flowers and plants.

Got it.

You're giving business to

your idol's flower shop.

That's right.

I think she's just looking for an excuse

to approach him again.

That's true.

Love can really inspire and motivate a person.

Look at Ding Xiaoran.

She's getting vigorous again.

She can eat and sleep now.

No way. I can't eat.

I'm losing weight, okay?

I just ate a cucumber for dinner tonight.

Look. That's how hard she's trying.

She goes without food or drink for the sake of love.

Where's the flower shop?

Where's the flower shop you mentioned?

Haven't you been there?

I forgot.

Are you buying some flowers?

Yes.

But I don't know if it's far away.

If it's too far and inconvenient, I won't go there.

It's not far and it's convenient.

It's nearby our campus.

Come with me tomorrow.

Buy a little more. It would really help me out.

Okay.

Our conference hall is huge.

The graduation ceremony

is a huge event to our university.

We need a lot of flowers and plants

and our requirements are high,

but I've convinced them.

We'll get our supplies from you.

I'll be the person in charge

for the subsequent work.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm happy that I'm able to do something for you.

Well, my classmate wanted

to buy flowers here today.

She agreed to come yesterday,

but she suddenly changed her mind.

I'm not sure if she's coming or not.

But it's okay.

It's okay even if she doesn't come.

I have a good social circle in the campus.

I have a lot of friends.

I'll promote for you when I go back.

Your flowers are beautiful.

How much is this?

This is not for sale.

Are you busy today?

If you're not busy...

Do you know each other?

No.

Don't you know him?

He's the idol that you talk about every day.

So I've come to see how he looks like.

He's got nothing special.

Just an ordinary looking worker.

What are you talking about, He Ran?

I'm just being honest.

I'm sorry.

My roommate is a bit weird.

That's not what I mean.

I mean,

I don't think that you're bad.

Don't mind her.

It's okay.

He Ran, why are you here?

I want to buy flowers.

What?

Is the flower shop closed today?

No, it's opened.

Miss.

Miss, what flower do you want to buy?

Let me introduce.

I don't need that.

He's selling flowers, right?

What flowers are you looking for?

Rose.

How many do you want?

I want as many as you have.

We have 300 roses left in the shop.

Is that enough?

Yes.

I want all of them.

How much is that?

No need to pay anything. It's a gift from me.

That's a big bouquet of roses.

There must be more than 100 roses here.

So many flowers.

There should be

around 200 to 300 roses.

Ding Xiaoran.

Not bad. In order to pursue your idol,

you're willing to spend so much.

It's so touching.

Did the guy from the flower shop give you all these?

No.

It's not.

He Ran.

Are these flowers yours?

Who gave them to you?

The guy Ding Xiaoran has been talking about.

Wait. What's going on?

He Ran.

What are you trying to do?

Nothing.

Give up.

You're not meant for each other.

It's my willingness to choose the person I like.

Who are you to control that?

I'm not trying to control that.

I'm just telling you.

Xiao Han won't fall in love with you.

Who are you to say that?

Because that's the fact.

He Ran,

you and Xiaoran keep talking about this guy.

Do you know him?

Yes.

Didn't you say you don't know him?

I didn't remember when you asked the other day.

When I met him yesterday,

I knew him.

How could you do that?

You're not meant for each other.

You're not meant for each other in every way.

Xiao Han has a child.

She's around eight or nine years old.

I was her painting teacher before.

- What? - What?

- He has a child? - He has a child?

Is he married?

Come on, he has a child.

Is it important that he's married or not?

It's important.

There's a huge difference, okay?

Stop.

Don't take it seriously. Are you silly?

He Ran said

that his child is around eight or nine years old.

He must not be young anymore.

Think about it. You're young.

You can't want to be his child's stepmother.

Stop thinking about him.

Yes, give up.

It's nothing. Stop loss in time.

I can introduce an art senior to you.

They're all handsome.

Do you like that? I can introduce you.

Yes.

The guys in the art club are really attractive.

Ask He Ran to introduce you one.

I don't like them!

I like Xiao Han.

Does Xiao Han really have a child?

You can ask him if you don't believe me.

How am I supposed to ask him?

How am I supposed to ask him?

Just tell him that

I said so.

Yes.

I have a child.

She's nine years old.

Her name is Quanquan.

She's right.

What's your relationship with He Ran?

You two were...

Ask her about this.

Her answer is the correct answer.

That's what the florist said?

Yes.

Do you think

I should ask He Ran?

Ask about what?

You're silly if you ask her that.

Why can't you tell when it's so obvious?

That's right.

It's obvious that they had a past.

They should be a couple.

What about now?

They've broken up.

I think they are

not on good terms.

They've broken up, but they're still contacting each other.

Their relationship is complicated.

You should stay out of it.

Look at how He Ran spoke.

It's obvious that they still have lingering feelings for each other.

She is not resigned to it.

You can't grab him away from her.

Just change to another subject.

You don't know how deep they were

in love before.

You're just an outsider.

Unrequited love and one-sided love

have no chance.

Let's talk.

Talk about what?

Why did you come to Xijing?

I have the right to choose

which city to live in, right?

Let me rephrase my question.

You know that I'm in Xijing.

What are you doing in Xijing?

It's a coincidence.

Xiao Han,

do you think I'll believe you?

Did I look for you?

How long have you been here?

I don't know. It's not important.

You know that I'd look for you, right?

I'll take this encounter as a coincidence.

You don't have to be troubled by it.

Ding Xiaoran

was working part-time in the coffee shop for a reason.

Otherwise, she didn't have the excuse

to go near the flower shop.

Also, she doesn't even like flowers.

She's not even a member of the society,

but she fought for

the graduation ceremony decoration job.

She did all these for you.

She did that for you. Can't you tell?

Just like what you did last time?

You came into my life quietly

and you left without saying goodbye.

Is that what you're saying?

If there's nothing else,

please leave.

I don't want to hear your name

from another woman's mouth.

I know I'm terrible and I'm sorry,

but...

But I just don't want to hear your name

from another woman's mouth!

Stop fooling around.

Go back early.

No.

Well,

do you need help?

No.

Give her an adhesive bandage. Her hand is hurt.

Okay.

I don't need your concern.

Hurry up! We're late!

Look at you.

This is nothing like you.

I could hardly recognise you.

My hand is bleeding

and I got my face stained accidentally.

It's indeed

quite...

How do I say that?

It's unrecognisable.

Wipe it first.

You're quite good.

You can still recognise me

while I'm looking like this.

The bag that you're carrying is our fine art's canvas bag.

I designed the logo on that,

so I took a few looks.

I didn't expect someone I know.

It's been a while.

How's the internship?

Not bad.

I'm coming back for the graduation ceremony.

What about you? What's happened to you?

I broke up with my boyfriend.

What a coincidence. I've also broken up with my girlfriend.

What a coincidence.

You seem okay though.

Yes. Compared to how you looked now,

I'm nothing like I've just had a break-up.

I'm shameful.

You're not hurt too bad.

How do I put it?

It's more like regret than hurt.

Let's go.

Let me send you back.

Let's go.

Mahjong? I'm not in Qiongzhou.

I've come to Xijing for my brother's graduation ceremony.

Of course I have to come.

He's the only university student

in Zhang family.

He's got a master's degree.

No worries.

Wait until I get back to Qiongzhou.

That's it. I have an incoming phone call.

I'm hanging up.

This.

This. This.

Fatty!

No need.

Why do you want to send a car over?

I took a taxi. I'm already in the campus.

Yes.

You're not bad. After half a year,

you even sound like a boss now.

Serve me?

Look, when I get to your territory,

you must treat me well.

Dinner. Dinner is fine.

I'll bring my brother over.

Who? His girlfriend?

I've never met her.

I'll just bring them along.

Don't worry.

You just have to make the arrangement.

I'll bring the people,

okay?

Okay.

I've found my brother.

That's it for now. See you tonight.

Okay.

Happy graduation.

Thank you.

Zhang Yuanqi!

Xiaoli.

Xiaoli?

He Ran.

You know my sister?

Yes.

I've stayed in Xiaoli's homestay before.

This is a small world.

Junior, can you come

and take a picture for us?

Okay. Carry on.

Okay.

Are you very close to her?

Why did she give you flowers?

The flowers are for my graduation.

She and I are from the same university.

She is from a few batches after me.

Xiaoli,

how did you get to know her?

Do you know the man in the painting?

What man in the painting?

Don't interrupt. Listen to me first.

Didn't you say you're in a relationship?

Is it her?

Let me tell you.

He Ran is actually...

After all, a girl always

changes her mind.

Anyway, you shouldn't mingle with her.

Do you understand?

Otherwise, I can't face Xiao Han.

The guy in the painting is called Xiao Han?

Lower your voice.

No.

Are you listening to me?

I'm asking you. Are you two

in a relationship?

Of course not. What are you thinking?

Didn't you say you're in a relationship?

I...

It's not her.

Really? Don't lie to me.

It's really not her.

Wait for me.

I just don't believe that.

Let's take a picture.

Sure.

Come on. Let's take a picture.

Let me hold the flower for you.

Okay.

I don't want to talk to He Ran.

I think

you're being narrow-minded.

This is about you having an one-sided love,

right?

You can't blame He Ran for this.

Also, she was his girlfriend first.

Well, it should be

"first come, first served."

I think you're being unreasonable.

I'm just not happy.

Stop thinking about it.

Let's take a picture with

the art senior.

He's handsome

and capable.

We won't see him anymore after the graduation.

We need to take a picture

to remember this, right?

He Ran is here, too.

Ask her to get his number for us.

Let's go.

Hello, I'm Yu Jingjing

and she's Ding Xiaoran.

We're He Ran's roommates.

Hello.

We'd like to take a picture with him.

Can you talk to him?

Okay.

She wants to take a picture with you.

Okay.

Hurry! Let's take a picture!

Here. Three, two, one.

Smile!

One more!

Okay. Perfect.

Thank you.

Is it nice?

It's nice.

You have a big smile on your face.

He Ran.

Come take a picture with the senior.

Okay.

Three, two...

Why did you agree?

I think it's a bad idea.

I should be in the picture, right?

Why are you here?

I'm here to send my brother flowers.

Han Yu asked me to join.

So I'm here.

Happy graduation.

I missed you because I haven't seen you for a while.

You're just everywhere.

Why do you say terrible things like that?

I'm being determined.

Do you know that I'm too lazy to scold you?

Then you should compliment me.

You shouldn't learn about broadcasting

and you shouldn't play in a band.

You should go for crosstalk. It suits you.

Enough. You should stop laughing.

You're graduating.

After you left the campus,

stay away from He Ran.

Happy graduation.

Take a picture together.

Stand next to He Ran.

Okay.

Come on. Let's take a picture.

Come on. Let's take a picture.

Come on.

Three, two, one.

Okay.

Okay.

Come on. Let's eat dinner together.

Knowing each means we're fated.

All of us must go.

Okay. Thank you.

Xiaoran, join us.

We can go home together at night.

Okay.

I'm going, too.

Sure.

Why do you want to go?

I'm the family member.

Whose family member? You're not my family member.

Who is talking about you?

The bassist in my band

is his cousin, right?

Of course I'm a family member.

Am I right?

Yes!

Hey,

your friend's personality

is interesting.

I'm late. Sorry.

Hold me!

Fatty.

Not bad. You're doing well in Xijing.

Here, let me introduce.

He's my best friend in Qiongzhou.

He's doing business in Xijing.

Look. He's a big boss now.

He should buy us dinner tonight.

You should eat and drink as much as you can.

Eat and drink as much as you can.

Yes.

You're flattering me.

Actually, my company

is just starting to earn money.

Come. Sit down.

- Sit here. - Sit here.

Mr. Han is taking care of me.

You have someone helping you.

Not bad.

Yes.

Mr. Han?

My uncle?

You...

Are you the one who sent me to the hospital?

You still remember how brave I was.

Han Yu, right?

We're fated.

You're wearing all green.

Young man. Fashion.

This colour is trendy this year.

Yes. Look at mine.

Flowery and green.

This is a small world.

We're meeting acquaintances.

- High-spirited. - We're all friends.

- We're all friends. - We're all friends.

What are you doing?

You silly, why are you so surprised?

When I first came to Xijing

and saw He Ran, I was surprised too.

That's why I said the world is small.

Let me tell you.

He Ran and my brother

are from the same university.

She's his junior.

Don't you think it's a coincidence?

Yes.

It is.

This is a small world.
