[The Best Day of My Life]

[Episode 4]

Sorry, it took me so long.

It's fine.

Could you please help me put this on?

I tried and failed several times at home.

Done.

Let's go now.

We'll be late.

♪Just a little bit closer to the moon♪

♪I worry you'll miss the fact that I miss you♪

♪Before I feel your tenderness♪

Just relax.

They're easy to get along with.

That's too much to ask.

This is the first time I meet someone's family.

♪If your destination is too far♪

Even though it's fake.

Consider it a rehearsal.

You can just follow me.

I'm not doing that.

All eyes will be on me if I do so.

It'll be harder to relax.

♪Your finger pointing at the stars♪

My make-up today looks fine,

doesn't it?

♪It's reflected in your eyes now♪

It's nice.

♪Let me drown in the sea, the mountains, and the wind♪

Mr. Xie is being very sweet today.

Oh, wait.

Today I should call you

Director Jiang.

I'll go inside now.

I'll wait for you inside.

♪I have no wish but to look at you without blinks♪

Watch out going upstairs.

♪When I'm overwhelmed by memories, I'm glad I remember your face♪

♪Only the moon is a little brighter♪

♪And there are more stars today♪

This way, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This way, please.

You again.

Where is Zhou?

He went to park the car.

I didn't know

that Zhou now

prefers someone like you.

I don't know what he prefers.

However, after the last time,

I know he definitely doesn't prefer someone like you.

You...

How long have you been dating?

Almost a year.

You can keep a secret.

Xi.

Coming.

That was close.

I must complete the story with Jiang Zhou soon.

Miss Xu?

I thought it was you.

I was worried you were someone else.

You used someone else's ticket as well, didn't you?

Ticket?

To come here,

it took me a long time

to get the invitation.

Here today,

if we can get anyone to sign contracts with us,

it'll be worth a whole year's salary.

We went on a blind date before.

So,

later,

I will introduce some big shots to you.

Jiang Zhou from Like,

Director Jiang.

You've probably heard of him.

He just came back to China.

Later when this is over,

I can invite him to stay.

Let's have a few more drinks.

Don't bother.

Such a big shot,

I suggest you keep it for yourself.

My boyfriend is looking for me.

I need to go.

Boyfriend?

Who's your boyfriend?

Jiang Zhou.

You didn't see his face.

It felt so good.

I told you I'm a good judge of character.

I knew it when I saw it.

Xie Shi can't be an ordinary person.

High quality.

Who said he was incompetent in the café?

I was worried about you then.

Concern leads to confusion.

I was wrong.

I need to go.

Still a little nervous.

Hello?

Hello.

I'm Xu Mu's friend.

Earlier,

I saw you guys talking.

Can I borrow you for a few minutes?

Sure.

So you are Xu Mu.

My my.

Why are you so thin?

Have you been eating well?

Or maybe working with Shi is

too hard?

He keeps making you work late, doesn't he?

If Xi hadn't told me he was in love,

he'd still be hiding it from me.

Am I that scary?

Will I be mean to her or anything?

If I'm being honest, he is not

very likeable.

All these years,

he has never been close to any girl.

There is just one...

Just one boy named Shen.

I always thought these two were...

Auntie.

I can hear you.

Auntie.

What are you talking about?

I was just talking about you.

I believe you have met Xu Mu.

Mu,

it's been a while.

Zhou,

You and Mu

have been secretly dating for over a year.

It must be very sweet.

You two

have been dating for so long.

Was it a long-distance relationship before?

I'm curious. Between you two,

who fell in love first?

I.

A girl who can make our Jiang Zhou fall in love.

You are special.

Not really.

However,

I just ran into a friend I haven't seen in a while.

He knows Mu, too.

He doesn't really know Mu.

They only met once.

I think it was on a blind date last month.

Blind date?

I'm sorry,

Mu.

Sometimes words just slip out of me.

Though,

a month ago,

at that time,

Zhou

just came back home.

Hello, Miss Xu.

We meet again.

How do you do?

And this is...

It was my fault.

Back then,

I failed to give Xu Mu enough sense of security.

We did spend some time apart.

Probably it was during that time apart,

this gentleman and Xu Mu met.

I was too busy with work,

often ignoring Xu Mu's feelings.

In fact, this time I came back

to get back into Xu Mu's life.

That's right.

That's what men are supposed to do.

How did you two meet each other?

We went to high school together.

Actually,

the first moment I saw her,

I fell in love with her.

I just never had a chance to tell her.

Right.

You switched schools in high school.

He had to do it at the time.

Now that the two of you are back together,

I am so happy for you.

You two must cherish each other.

It's a nice view out here.

It wasn't such a big deal meeting your families.

Your aunt is nothing like you.

She looks warm and gentle.

Very easy to get along with.

That's to you.

In the eyes of others,

my aunt is a decisive and independent woman.

Then I guess she likes me because of you.

Have you lived with your aunt since you were little?

No.

She was often abroad.

She took me with her in high school.

Oh, right.

So you went abroad with her when you left our high school?

Yeah.

What about your parents?

Also abroad?

No.

My mom died around that time.

It's fine.

It was a long time ago.

Therefore,

you changed your name then.

Yes.

I thought

people who live together become more and more alike.

You lived with your aunt for so long.

Why is your temper still so...

Special.

You're the director.

Of course, you have a special temper.

Hello,

mom?

Mu,

why didn't you tell me about your relationship?

Someone else showed me your posts online.

Did you block me on social media?

No.

How dare I?

My relationship is complicated.

It's hard to explain now.

What's so hard to explain?

Just bring him back.

Show him to me and your dad.

If you're not dating, go on another blind date tomorrow.

Let me tell you something.

Ms Li from last time introduced another boy to us.

Mom,

I am dating someone.

You could have just said so.

I am...

Mom,

I'm in a meeting.

I must go.

Let's go.

Xie Shi?

I suddenly thought of a plan

which could solve your problem.

What?

I want to climb up the career ladder.

But for promotions among managers,

abilities are not the only thing considered.

Stability and dependence are also considered.

People highly dependent on work are

usually the ones who are in committed relationships.

I'm very busy at work.

I have no time to meet people

and start a new relationship.

Since you don't want to go on blind dates,

we share the same needs.

Why don't we sign a relationship contract

once and for all?

My mom's probably going to do a lot of video checks.

Then,

I will need you to play along with me.

Don't let her find anything.

Of course.

Oh,

by the way,

I need to add another clause to the contract.

During the contract,

if one of us has a crush,

the contract ends.

Okay.

That's it then.

One of you has a crush.

The contract ends.

That is pretty special.

But it sounds good.

Because only in this way,

can we terminate the contract

and solve our problems.

When the contract ends,

I won't need to worry about dealing with my parents.

The chairman knows you nailed the new project.

He gives you back your car

as a reward.

Thanks, Zhang.

Your dad asked me to warn you

not to drive it when you go to work.

Drive it when you go out.

I got it.

I'm in a good mood today.

Let's go. I'll take you for a ride.

No, no, no.

The chairman is waiting for me at the office.

Let me give you a ride.

Isn't it faster?

Come on.

Come on, you’re welcome.

Hey.

Isn't that Shen Yi?

Does Shen Yi also work as a designated driver?

He seems

to be really in need of money.

Yeah.

Wait.

Don't you need an assistant?

I came to see you today

to ask you

if you'd like to be my temporary assistant.

In terms of salary,

you can rest assured.

Above the average.

This much.

However,

while working as my assistant,

you can't take on other work.

For example,

being a designated driver?

Designated driver?

Yes.

About your loss of money,

I'll make it up to you in another way.

Your allowance will be used

on your meals.

I asked around.

For writers like me,

that's what they pay their assistants.

You must have been lied to.

It's not that expensive.

You just believed what people said?

Song Niannian,

when did you get so stupid?

You are stupid.

But it's okay.

Today,

I'm in a good mood.

Plus you said you'd give me the project.

I'll be your temporary assistant

for free.

Shen Yi agreed to be my temporary assistant

without salary.

He also paid the bill at the café last night.

Shen Yi is so poor.

Yet he still refuses my money.

Now I feel

I don't hate him that much.

It's only been a few days.

You're saying good things about Shen Yi now.

That's not a compliment.

I was just making an objective assessment.

Hey.

Why are you not busy at all today?

How do you have time to call me during office hours?

I'm out in the field.

Heading back to the office now.

[Shen Yi] Reimbursement, please.

34.50 yuan in total.

[Yizhou Café. Total, 34.5]

Shen Yi.

Hello,

Niannian?

Where did she go so suddenly?

Hello, mom, what's wrong?

You're dating someone now.

Where's he?

I haven't met him yet.

You didn't lie to me, did you?

How could I lie to you?

He's sitting right next to me right now.

Then you put him on the phone.

I'll talk to him.

He...

He can't talk now.

He went...

He went to the bathroom.

Why is he either using the bathroom

or working every time I call you?

No way.

When he's done using the bathroom,

you have him call me back.

Hello?

Hello mom?

Mom?

Bad receptions here.

I need to go.

Mom...

Sir, turn around.

Okay.

Why don't you answer your phone?

Hello.

I'm going to Like on the eighth floor.

Do you have an appointment?

Appointment?

Yes.

Don't bother, thank you.

This is an emergency.

[Mom]

Mom,

this is Xie Shi.

Hello, madam.

Look, we're together.

We passed the video check.

I guess she believes us now.

But if my mom checks on us again,

I'll send her these videos.

I believe this is called

videos from a girlfriend's perspective.

My mom won't doubt me then.

That's pretty smart

to make preparations in advance.

I have ways to deal with my mother.

I'm glad I made it this time.

Or she will find out.

Here we are.

So soon?

Thank you, Director Jiang.

Goodbye.

Drive home safely.

Goodbye.

Who are you guys?

Who let you into my room?

We were drinking this afternoon.

They drank too much.

I guess

they went into the wrong room.

You should've locked the door.

You let your friends into my room without my permission

and made my room uninhabitable.

Now you mean it's my fault?

You're being unreasonable.

Why is it uninhabitable?

Don't be dramatic.

We agreed at the beginning.

No sleepovers.

You've done it many times before.

I've decided to let it go.

But you really went too far this time.

Let me grab my bag.

Mom?

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd check on you and Xie.

Here, look.

I got you something to eat.

Get Xie out later.

Oh.

What are you guys doing standing here?

Going out?

It's just a small deal.

You called your mother?

It's just a messy room.

I'll pay you.

Stop it now.

Why do you talk like that?

You're the one who made a mess of her room.

How did your parents teach you?

Lady.

How old am I?

What parents?

You thought I was Xu Mu?

Your whole family is

ridiculous.

Who are you calling ridiculous?

My daughter is nice.

But I tell you.

Don't take me as a weak person.

As a kid, when you did something wrong,

didn't your parents teach you to apologise?

Mom, mom.

Don't be mad.

Stay out of it.

I got this. I got this.

You guys are unbelievable.

As a girl,

look at what you did to this house.

It's like a pigsty.

Hello?

You dropped your headphones in my car.

Oh oh.

Sorry.

What's going on over there?

Oh, it's fine.

Maybe you can...

I'll send it up for you.

You're hopeless.

You thought you could scare me?

I'm tired of talking to you.

Move.

Don't go.

You haven't apologised yet.

You are so annoying.

Ah.

Who are you?

I'm Xu Mu's boyfriend.

Talk to me if there's a problem.

Oh, my good boy.

How did you grow to be like this

Not only smart

but good-looking.

The way you stood in front of us.

I should have taken a picture for Xu Mu's dad

to show him.

Oh, good boy.

I'm growing fonder of you.

You look so much better than in the video.

Mom,

you talked so much.

Are you thirsty?

I'll get you some water.

Good boy.

Xie is

such a good boy.

And you.

Why didn't you tell me about your place?

If Xie hadn't arrived in time,

we might have been bullied

and might be looking

for a place to stay with our stuff.

Oh, mom.

I didn't want you to worry.

Moreover,

my rent is due this month.

I'll find a new place to stay.

Will you look for roommates?

If you meet someone like that again,

what do you do?

Won't you be bullied then?

If you ask me,

if you want to share an apartment,

you need someone like Xie.

Otherwise, I will be worried.

Xie,

what do you think?

True.

You have to choose your roommate wisely.

I know.

Do you have to work so late?

Thank you.

A little unfinished business.

Is your mom asleep?

Yeah, asleep.

About what happened tonight,

thank you so much.

Oh, and...

My mom usually goes to bed early.

She can't stay up now.

Sorry to trouble you.

No need to thank me

or feel sorry.

Since she is here.

Just spend some time with her.

This homestay is so beautiful.

[Seaside homestay project renderings]

Care to elaborate?

You can give me some advice.

From the perspective of a non-professional tourist,

this is a house that many people would look forward to.

There are two rooms on each floor.

Large area.

Built by the sea.

Away from the crowd.

In addition,

a large terrace

and

a luxury pool.

As for the architectural design,

this is also a very attractive work.

However?

However,

a lot of us can't afford a place like this.

Our reason for escaping the city is simple.

To relax.

Maybe it's a group of people sitting around talking.

Or maybe

it's a walk by the sea

and a safe home at night.

I suppose

the purpose of Like is

that the guests can sincerely like

this place where they stay for a short time.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I wonder why Shangxin only

had you take the lead now?

If you weren't trying to embarrass me

by putting me in charge of the homestay,

I guess

I still don't have the chance now.

That wasn't on purpose.

I've always been professional.

I don't believe you.

[Best Houses]

If you're sleepy,

just go to bed.

Consider my company my way to thank you.

When are you

going to look for a place to stay?

Looking for it now.

But to find the right house and the right roommate is

harder than finding a job.

What do you think of the room your mom is sleeping in?

It's good.

You didn't see how comfortable my mom feels?

What do you think of me?

I mean

as a roommate.

I travel a lot.

No one to look after Magic Cube.

I wouldn't trust it to anyone else.

♪Want to tell you how fascinated I am with you♪

Why are you being so nice to me

and finding me a place to stay?

I don't think it's free.

You can decide how much to pay.

I knew it.

This is close to your company.

I won't raise your rent while you're here.

You just take care of Magic Cube for me.

How's that?

♪Want to travel with you from summer to winter♪

I'd be a fool

to turn such a good deal away.

Good morning.

Morning.

Excuse me.

I was sleepy.

I thought it was my house.

Oh, where is my mother?

No idea.

Perhaps,

she went home.

Your mom left you a note.

Oh, take a look for me.

Mu,

The breakfast is on the table.

I will leave you and Xie alone.

I went home.

The food I brought you has been put in the fridge.

If you can't find the right roommate,

I think

Xie is a good candidate.

I'll worry less if you live with him.

But you two...

What about us?

Why don't you read it?

Go on.

Never mind.

What is it?

Let me see.

Do it safely.

I...

I'm off to work.

When do you move?

This weekend.

You don't have to worry about me.

I'll go to work.

Xu Mu.

A couple in love.

He ties her shoes.

I love this.

Thank you.

I'll get going.

Qin Xiaoke.

I've got gossip.

Look at the picture I sent you.

Mr. Liao.

Yeah?

I have some exciting news to share.

What?

Mu lets Director Jiang drive her to work,

carry bags

for her,

and lace up her shoes.

Director Jiang is obedient.

Seriously?

Seriously.

You guys are weird.

What's up?

Xu.

I hear you are the boss at home.

Director Jiang dares not disobey you.

Ah?

Ah?

She answers me with "ah"?

Stop acting.

We all know.

Oh, good acting.

The acting has yet to be perfected.

Your colleagues were understating it.

I would call Xie Shi a hen-pecked husband,

and you someone good at training a husband.

You need to stop it.

Give me a break.

So when are you going to move in with Xie Shi?

I'm packing now.

Tomorrow is the weekend.

I'll move tomorrow.

I just added something that belongs to me

in the bedroom.

I didn't touch any of your stuff.

Don't be nervous.

This is your home from now on.

I used to live with girls.

It's my first time living with a boy.

Oh, no.

I mean sharing a room.

Magic Cube is so sweet.

I like little girls.

It's a boy.

I like little boys.

Magic Cube is my favourite.

Why is it called Magic Cube?

Because you like Magic Cubes?

Do you know Animal Architects?

There's a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles

called Animal Architects.

One of the group members,

Abramson Architects,

built a house for stray cats in 2019

called Cat Cube.

It looks like a cube.

I love the idea.

Hearing you say you love something is

really rare.

Is it?

Yes.

Since I knew you,

you never had anything nice to say.

But now,

it's better.

Compared to before,

it's a little bit better.

But it is just a little bit.

So,

Magic Cube doesn't have a mom or dad. It's a stray cat?

Yes.

That's okay.

You will be the dad.

I will be the mo...

I will

be its beautiful sister.
