Original subtitles

Everything on the fishing boat is still here.

Mom will be back, right?

You are Xu Yongyu's daughter.

From now on, you're Xu Xixi.

Don't come back again.

You have a shoot tomorrow morning.

Go to bed early tonight.

I'll stay on deck and keep watch.

Okay.

Mom must have left the phone here.

What does she mean by sending this message?

I need to find her as soon as possible.

[Love of Replica]

[Episode 4]

Twin flower?

The concept is derived from that legend.

Flowers born in pairs atop a stem.

The two flowers were supposed to be inseparable

but their heads remained in opposite directions,

unable to see each other's petals.

It was not until the day they withered

that their branches finally turned around,

allowing them to meet for the first and only time in their lives,

just before they fell to the ground.

Such a romantic and tragic theme.

If it's perfectly interpreted,

the response will be amazing.

I trust your judgment.

And it's a beautiful story. I love it.

Well, you'd better get changed and get into the character.

Mr. He won't go easy on you just because of your identity.

I will interpret the character well

and won't let you down.

I'd better get going.

Ms. Xu, please try on this costume first.

Mom, why aren't you answering the phone?

You're still in the fishing village, right?

Why would I be Xu Yongyu's daughter?

Mom, I'm really worried.

I need to see you.

We don't have that kind of set in our village,

but I build you one just like it out of wood.

The only thing left is the chair.

I'll get it painted later.

How about it, Ms. Tian?

Are you satisfied with me as your temporary assistant?

Barely. Not bad.

You bought this Black Beauty, too?

I thought the flower market is closed.

Don't…

The smell…

I couldn't find any black pigment,

so I used squid ink.

You dyed it yourself with squid ink?

Of course.

It's a bit stinky, but I bet no one can tell it's fake.

Now you see. In the village,

there's nothing I can't do as long as you say it.

It's going to take forever if you do it like this.

I didn't know you can do this.

Before I became a manager, I was just a handyman.

As long as the entertainer named it,

there was nothing I couldn't do or give.

Cut!

Your eyes didn't look right.

Again.

Action.

Start over.

Cut!

Cut!

Cut!

Still not right!

Five-minute break.

Crap.

Can you act or not?

How many times have I told you?

Your eyes should be wild, bad and thirsty.

That's how you hook a man.

If you can't finish such a simple scene,

just quit

and go back to being that spoiled doll--

Director, I can do it.

Please give me another chance.

I'm sorry.

Please don't be mad, Mr. He.

Xixi is just a bit inexperienced.

How about this? I'll get her a partner.

She'll gain experience through practice.

Who can you get?

Maybe I can get someone from the yacht club.

There's no need.

He's good.

What?

Did I just go deaf?

Didn't you just beg me

to give you another chance?

If you refuse, we'll call it a day.

Wait, director. Not him.

Cut! Okay! Let's move on.

Once last panoramic scene.

Everyone's been working really hard today.

So we prepared a barbecue for you.

Cheers!

Come on, cheers!

Cheers!

- Happy wrap! - Thank you, everybody.

I've been causing you a lot of trouble lately.

Sorry about that.

And,

thank you.

If you really want to thank me,

promise me three things.

And what are they?

No disappearing.

No acting alone.

And don't let your bodyguard affect your work.

What's wrong?

I'll go over and check it out.

Okay.

Mom?

Ms. Tian, where's Ms. Xu?

She's gone for a walk over there.

Mom, is that you?

Mummy, here.

See? The most beautiful seashell

I found this morning.

And this one. I picked it up yesterday evening.

Hold out your hands.

Hold out.

You're wasting your precious time.

Practice the piano more in your spare time.

I looked for her everywhere.

Why won't she see me?

Why did she abandon me?

Why has she never loved me since I was little?

Let's go.

I'll take you somewhere.

When I was a kid, I always suspected my dad didn't like me.

And I even ran away from home because of this.

But you know what?

Later, when he found me,

he didn't scold me.

Instead, he brought me here,

clumsily bought me a Coke and popcorn,

and watched a movie with me quietly.

Eat some.

They had never been parents before.

So they were all learning

how to love their children, clumsily.

They would inevitably panic and make mistakes during this process.

If your mom was too hard on you in the past,

it's because she was eager to see you grow up.

Parents' love

is like a dark cloud with a silver lining.

Don't just focus on the approaching storm

and forget the sunshine behind it.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Here.

Tian Sui.

What?

I think I'm attracted to you.

Thanks.

Is that all?

Of course.

Are you expecting a more blunt rejection?

No.

I just

couldn't stop myself from telling you.

Ding Beifan,

don't waste your time on me.

When the shoot is over,

we'll go back to our separate lives

and never meet again.

[Tian Sui]

Then I will enter into your life.

[Friends Barbecue]

What app is this?

A location-sharing app.

You can check friends' locations

and safety at any time.

When there's a threat, it will send an alarm.

Pretty cool. Single women like me need it.

Download it for me, too.

This way, when I'm in danger,

you can be by my side immediately,

and you can also make me barbecue just in time

based on the distance between us.

- Wait a moment. I'll wrap it up for you. - Okay.

Miss.

I want…

some of this.

And some of…

- this, too. - OK, just a moment, please.

Okay.

Sunflowers with roselle roses.

What a special match!

Is this called roselle rose?

Nice.

The person receiving this is warmhearted like a sunflower,

and goddess-like as the name "roselle" suggests.

That's a wonderful match.

You have good taste.

Thank you.

Your flowers are ready, sir.

Thank you.

It looks too plain.

I'll help you rematch it.

There's no need.

Thank you.

Hello. Anything more?

[Future Recreation]

Okay, let me write this down.

Please go ahead.

Okay.

Go on, please.

- All right, I'll write it down. - What a coincidence!

The person you like also works here?

So do you?

Yeah. However,

my future girlfriend is a leader here.

She might even know the person you like.

I'll ask her to take care of your love.

Thanks, but no.

Okay, no problem.

Excuse me, sir. May I help you?

- I'm looking for Tian Sui. - Tian Sui.

Let's talk outside.

Why?

My future girlfriend I just told you

is Tian Sui.

So,

you declared your love to her and she said yes?

Not yet.

But,

sooner or later, she will say that word.

Well,

good luck with that.

Sorry about that. Reflexes.

I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.

Let me tell you something.

I will never

leave Tian Sui to you.

You don't have that right.

She deserves more excellent suitors.

Although we both like Tian Sui,

I kind of appreciate you, though.

Let's play fair.

All right. Healthy competition.

Take these flowers.

Thank you, Ms. Tian.

Hello, this is Future Recreation.

You're applying for Ms. Tian's assistant, right?

OK, got it.

Fair play also requires a perfect strategy.

Is that the coffee shop?

When Xixi arrives,

take her to the stylist's first.

Hello, Ms. Tian.

Make sure all the promotional material is ready

for today's warm-up MV release event.

- Mistakes are not allowed. - Okay.

You're welcome. We're all friends.

Next time, I'll treat you to a feast.

Sure, Fan.

It's a deal.

Ms. Tian.

You two know each other?

I know him pretty well.

When did you first meet?

Just now.

I came to the company for an interview

and bought everyone some coffee.

Ms. Tian, this one is for you.

Last time I visited the company,

I noticed you all like to order from this shop.

He's not fit for the post. Find someone else.

Ms. Tian,

is that judgment from a personal

or professional point of view?

Ding Beifan, as my assistant,

you're not suitable from any perspective.

What you did in the village doesn't work here.

Give it a try.

How do you know it won't work here?

So, you got your master's degree in economics

from Waseda University at the age of 21?

No.

I found it boring halfway through,

so I dropped out and returned to the village.

Boring? What do you mean?

I felt it was too easy, not challenging at all,

unlike the days in the fishing village

when I had to deal with so many grannies and grandpas.

That requires a lot of mental and physical effort.

Besides, I truly love

the simple but full life back in the village.

Well, that's exactly why you shouldn't come.

This job is more boring than you think.

Boring or not,

it depends on who I'm with.

If I can work with Ms. Tian,

I believe every day will be challenging.

I've already told you.

Don't waste your time on me.

My heart belongs to someone else.

I know that.

So as someone who's way behind my opponent,

I must seize every opportunity to surpass him.

But you can rest assured.

I have respect for my opponent.

And I have nothing to hide,

unlike Xu Mengyun.

In order to be famous,

she made some nasty moves.

So, if you're my assistant,

what are you going to do about her?

It's easy.

When dealing with cockroaches,

you must kill them without mercy,

otherwise they will lay many eggs. So disgusting.

To survive in this industry,

you have to understand one thing.

It's a small industry,

don't hit the point of no return.

I find that you are quite a softhearted person,

who cares very much about decency.

You don't know anything.

All right.

Want to make a bet?

Xu Mengyun will keep playing dirty.

If I'm right,

let me be your assistant.

I always feel that my mom is watching me secretly.

How else would she know I'm back in the fishing village?

That's possible.

Maybe she'll show up soon.

Yeah.

- Don't move! - Help!

- Superstar Xu Xixi punched me! - Don't shout!

Help!

Look at this, guys!

I'm being bullied!

- Let go of me! - Are you okay?

Let go of me!

Are you okay?

Ding, what are you doing here?

I'm here…

to work.

I'll be Ms. Tian's assistant soon.

Dear friends of the media, welcome to the release event.

Thank you.

Please.

Why don't you guys get in first?

I'll deal with it.

You stay.

Yue, don't worry.

I will never let go of the person who bullied you.

Let's go.

I guess you were right.

So, what are you going to do to Xu Mengyun?

I'm just a fisherman. What can I do?

Maybe check her financial statements online,

then take a look at her company's annual performance,

and finally, calculate her income and the taxes she should pay.

But I don't know her rates.

I know.

Why don't we do the math for her

and teach her a lesson?

Thank you for that.

It's my job to protect you.

I found this phone on the fishing boat.

I think it was left by my mom.

I called her back,

but no one answered.

Why are you telling me this?

Because we agreed to cooperate.

I can't figure out what she meant

by sending me that first massage.

What did she say?

She said I am Xu Yongyu's daughter

and asked me not to go back again.

Yu, is everything arranged for Mr. Xu's schedule tonight?

There's an important meeting at Yuyuan Biotech tonight.

Mr. Xu is expected to leave at 5:30

and return around ten.

Mr. Xu is ready to go downstairs.

Mr. Lu, I should go get ready.

Mr. Xu is downstairs.

Now that An Yue is also Xu Yongyu's daughter,

why would he hide her existence?

Xu Yongyu deliberately conceals this fact.

It must have something to do with my father's accident.

In your opinion,

where would he hide this secret?

Mom, why don't you reply?

I lost my memory

and can't remember anything.

You said that I'm Xu Yongyu's daughter.

Does that mean Xu Xixi is my twin sister?

It's the only route that won't be caught on camera.

You can't make any mistakes.

If we were twins,

there must be some evidence.

What are you doing here?

You said Xixi is sleeping.

Where is she?

Where's Lu Jinyan?

Bring him to me right now!

Dad,

why are you back so early?

What are you two doing here?

Mr. Xu, I'll see myself out.

What are you thinking about?

Remember, you are a lady!

Tell me the truth,

is Lu Jinyan being disrespectful to you?

What were you doing here in the middle of the night?

He must have coaxed you here.

Dad,

what you're asking is,

did he seduce me?

I wish he did.

But you know, he's so rigid.

It took me great effort to get him here.

I was hoping for something exciting.

But you came back all of a sudden.

He's not right for you!

But I like Lu Jinyan.

Ever since my accident,

he's been the only one who has been with me.

You're always away on business.

Yan and the others are nice to me.

But they're also afraid of me.

In this huge house,

I can't even remember who my mom is

when I see her photo.

I'm even wondering

whether you and mom love me or not.

Because you always leave me behind.

Nonsense!

Xixi,

when your mother was pregnant,

she was diagnosed with an incurable illness.

Doctors advised her to give up the baby.

But she insisted on giving birth to you.

Do you know how much pain she was in?

But for the sake of your safety,

she didn't take a single painkiller the whole time.

It hurt my heart to see her like that.

But do you know what she said?

She said Xixi was

the most precious gift she was given.

Fingerprint matched. The lock is open.

Have a look.

[Medical Certificate of Birth]

Only one?

Look, Yongyu.

Look at her tiny hands.

My baby.

Mommy and daddy love you.

You are the most precious gift in my life.

- You two are my babies. - See!

Your mother and I

had been expecting a cute baby

ever since we got married.

She's smiling.

But your mom was not in good health,

so our dream didn't come true.

Later, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

At that time,

we were both desperate.

But all of a sudden, you came along.

It was truly a blessing in the midst of hardship.

No one in this world

loves you more than me and your mom.

Because you are the only child for us.

You are the only child for us.
