Timing and Subtitles brought to you by 🩺 Therapy Plays Your Heart 🎻@Viki.com

Can I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

If I'm accompanying you to a date,

am I consider your boyfriend-to-be?

We're just rounding up the numbers.

Then I'm not going.

Fine. I'll call Eric.

I'm going!

You're way to fast to get a backup.

You don't even hesitate

Gu Zhao, come over here!

This is the bookkeeping of this month.

Take a look.

You don't need to show me, I don't care.

As a owner, you need to listen to this.

Our cafe's monthly revenue is around ¥20,000.

It's not a lot but it's acceptable for a new business.

Next month, I'm going to adjust the supplier.

There is one beer, the wholesale price is way too high.

Today, I've already talked to a new supplier.

Also, next mont, we need to set aside a large budget for promotion and marketing.

It's for the promotions on shopping

and new medias platforms.

Finally, I hired a good professional photographer

to take some beautiful picture of our cafe.

Wait a moment.

You said,

we made profit?

Otherwise? What's the purpose of the business?

I- I thought...

If we lose money, then you made a mistake to hire me as the manager.

You can fire me at anytime.

San San, let me tell you.

As long as you are happy, no matter we make a profit or loose money, I'm fine with it.

I opened this cafe for you.

How can I fire you?

I'm telling you, I'm here is for the job.

If you say things like that, I'll resign.

Don't resign! Don't resign! I'll not say it anymore.

- What? - You can't kiss me in the future.

Also, if you bring your lousy friends here to drink and don't

and don't mark it down their consumption. I'll resign as well.

I won't bring them and I won't drink anymore.

But for the kissing matter, I can't guarantee.

I wonder who was the one hugging me and gave me a kiss?

Gu Wei.

A skirt?

That's fine, I can do it myself.

You look special today

Lin Zhixiao,

have you had your medication? Why are you dressing up like that?

What are you talking about?

I think now you look perfect.

Let's go.

I see your relationship line is full of happiness. (T/N: referring palm reading)

There are a lot of split lines, meaning there are a lot of relationships.

You are also very popular among girls.

But, your husband only loves you.

That's right.

It's not safe this way.

How unsightly.

It's so beautiful here.

Why did you think of bringing me to this ancient town for fun?

I read your post on Moments recommending this place.

- Do you like it? - Let's take photos.

Yes, I do.

San San.

Let's take a look over there. Xiao Xiao, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

- Xiao Xiao, come here. - What's wrong?

Sit here and wait for me. I'm going to buy something.

Xiao Xiao, how's your leg?

Lin Zhixiao, you are specially tall today.

You look nice. Seriously.

- Gu Xiao, I want water. - I'm complimenting her.

I want cola. Go and buy now.

You really look nice today.

Thank you. I would like a drink too. Go and come back soon.

Okay. I'm going with you.

- How's your leg? - I'm dying from fatigue soon.

It's such a short road. I wobbled four times.

It's really too difficult.

I saw it but you didn't trip. Your balance was quite good.

You have a natural talent for this.

You have never worn high heels. What's wrong with you today?

Why did you wear high heels?

He said

I'm always cute, just like a kid.

I wanted to show him that I'm high class, elegant and of superior quality.

I have an impressive side. Who knew he could take me to this kind of place.

I have been wobbling. Look at my shoes.

Is this sensible?

He's here.

Change into this.

What is this?

Xiao Xiao, you are suitable for this pair of shoes in this life.

They are so pretty. I will take a photo of you.

No need.

Doctor Gu,

you are aesthetic. You have trendy ethnic style.

You and Xiao Xiao are not suited for each other.

I think they are very pretty. Pink and so cute.

I love them

I think the one I’m wearing is pretty comfortable.

Your legs must hurt a lot from wearing these while walking on the road.

It doesn't hurt at all. Seriously, I feel very comfortable.

Did you watch a foreign movie

where a woman wore high heels, raced with a dragon

and eventually won the race? I feel like that woman now.

See? I can walk and jump too. No problem at all.

Okay. Take a seat.

Okay.

Then just tell me when you want to change them.

Okay, okay.

- Where did Gu Xiao and the others go? - They went ahead there to buy water.

- I'll go find them. - Go ahead.

I'll wait for you here.

Those pink shoes are so cute.

What can I do?

I brought transparent tape.

Then hurry up and get it out.

Here.

Taking pictures is a good idea.

Let those 2 stand there for a picture.

Jin Shi, I want to take pictures. Hurry.

Let's go take pictures. Come on, let's go.

You come with us.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's take a picture.

One, two, three...

I'll take a picture for you.

Three, two, one...

Cheese.

Wow. How sweet. How nice.

- I want a picture too, Gu Xiao. - Really?

Here, come here.

- Really? - I want an sweet picture too.

Xiao Xiao, take a picture for us.

Hold this for me.

Look here. One, two, three.

Done.

Xiao Xiao, it's your turn.

Come on , Dr. Gu.

A little closer.

Your hand, put your hand up.

Heavens.

Take this.

Your hand goes like this, around her.

Then, your heads closer together.

Smile sweetly.

Here we go. Three, two, one.

Cheese.

Here, take a look. How is it?

What are you doing? Are you posting it?

- Is it posted? - No.

We agreed we'd do it at the same time. Look

I really did send it. Look.

Hey, Dr. Gu. I'll send the picture to you. You can post it on Moments [Chinese site similar to Facebook].

I'm sorry. I only post work-related things to Moments.

- Let me look at ours. - Why?

Here, let me introduce you to our specialty, Lovers' Noodles.

- You should pay attention to these noodles. - Thank you.

- Lover's Noodles? - These Lovers' Noodles are a couple.

Each person starts at one end of the noodle

and finish by meeting in the middle.

Couples who eat Lovers' Noodles here

- won't separate for a very long time. - Really?

- Of course it's true. - For a very long time?

Everyone who eats our Lovers' Noodles here

all get married. They'll stay together for a very long time.

- Jin Shi and I want a bowl. - We...we... bring a bowl for the two of us.

- Good. - Okay.

Since we are all here on a date, of course, we all have to have Lovers' Noodles.

Isn't that right, Xiao Xiao?

Do you two also want one?

- Give all of the couples a bowl. - Okay.

- For both of us. - We also want this. - Okay.

One bowl of ordinary noodles is ¥38. Lovers' noodles are ¥88.

Boss, this price isn't reasonable.

These Lovers' Noodles have a message.

Why don't I go put in this order? You two can look at the menu.

When you've decided, call me over.

Xiao Xiao, why don't we get 2 bowls of ordinary noodles.

Those noodles won't fill us up and the price is unreasonable.

Okay. As you wish.

Here, hold out your hand.

I don't need it. My skin will peel off.

Are they clean?

- Your noodles are here. - Thank you.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Enjoy.

What are you doing?

Why don't the two of us eat one bowl?

I can't eat this one by myself.

Okay.

Xiao Xiao.

Close your eyes.

What are you going to do?

Close your eyes.

You have tape on your eyelids?

I'm going to the restroom. You guys go ahead.

Wait a minute. On the right side, you also have it on your right eye.

You take it off on your own.

- Got it. - Eat up.

- Xiao Xiao. - Xiao Xiao.

- Go on and eat yours. - Xiao Xiao.

Why is she being so fierce?

Brother, don't get mad. Eat. It's really good.

- Xiao Xiao. - Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao, don't be mad. We'll think of something.

Did you see how he is?

What are you here for? Display affections? Infuriate me till I want to puke?

We just came along to help out.

- But what are we supposed to do if he doesn't accept it? - Exactly.

Xiao Xiao, I don't think we should do it this way. Let's break up and go our own ways.

Because maybe Dr. Gu is sensitive; he isn't willing to be

- intimate with you in front of us. - Right.

In a little while, you let you guys have some private time.

Okay.

♫ The sweetness of you ♫

♫ I need your love. ♫

♫ This is because of you ♫

♫ You are my everything ♫

♫ Because I fall in love with you and I miss you ♫

♫ Every time, every time, like fly ♫

♫ Fall in love with you and I miss you ♫

♫ Every time. Every time. Like flying ♫

♫ Fall in love with you and fly with you. ♫

♫ Every time. Every time. Like flying. ♫

♫ Fall in love with you. And I miss you. ♫

♫ Every time. Every time. Like flying. ♫

Xiao Xiao.

♫ I love you ♫

Sit down.

♫ I miss you ♫

Change into these.

Does it hurt?

Are you tired? Why don't we go home?

There's still a fireworks display tonight.

Let's go back after the fireworks are over, okay?

Okay. As you wish.

Look.

- They very pretty aren't they? - Of course. I like them a lot.

Xiao Xiao. Actually, there's something I've wanted to say to you today.

You're very pretty dressed up like this.

But wearing high heeled shoes too much isn't for your bones.

Also, wearing clothes with bare shoulders in this kind of weather makes it easy to catch cold.

I was just thinking that this was our first official date.

I wanted to dress up a little and make you feel like you were with a beautiful woman.

But we have many, many, many dates ahead.

So, one time with that feeling doesn't mean much.

In my eyes, your health and comfort

is more important than anything.

Maybe I don't know how to be romantic.

I really think you are beautiful no matter how you look.

You're still saying you don't know how to be romantic.

You've said so many sweet nothings.

These are words from the heart, not just sweet nothings.

Look! Fireworks!

Let's make a wish!

Why didn't you make a wish?

My greatest wish is already by my side.

♫ Time once stood still and everything stopped ♫

Then you can make a wish that lets us stay together forever.

♫ As it turns out, there is something special amidst a sea of people ♫

♫ Fingertips turning the pages of the eternal dictionary ♫

In my heart, we're always together.

♫ To uncover why I keep thinking of someone who makes my heart flutter ♫

♫ Simplicity in romance is the simplicity that I love ♫

♫ It is simply spending the rest of my life with you ♫

♫ I'll be waiting while I seek (Waiting for the love of the rest of my life) ♫

♫ A future with that one and only person ♫

♫ No longer having to wander about in a sea of people ♫

♫ Time's best plan is love (The best plan is love) ♫

Shao Jiang.

- How was it? - Shao.

As your manager I have to say,

your performance today was wonderful!

The audience wanted an encore twice!

Perfect! When have I ever made you disappointed?

But, the best performance

- is definitely the next time! - is definitely the next time!

Oh right, about the next performance.

Next time is in collaboration with Huaqing University Orchestra, right?

Yes. The sponsor wishes to extend the performance length.

They chose an extra piece.

There is cello part.

I'm not worried on your part.

But the pressure on the students is already a lot.

I'm worried they won't have enough time to practise.

- What do you think we should do? - It's quite simple.

Just choose another cellist from amongst the students.

Let them focus on practising this piece.

You have a choice in mind.

That's fine, it's a good idea.

But I'm too busy with preparations during this time.

Maintaining the performance standard will be left to you!

No need to worry! I will not tarnish my own reputation.

Okay.

What's up, Shao?

Nothing. I was just thinking that I need to organize rehearsals at the university tomorrow.

That way, I can just announce the news then.

Okay, that works.

Quick! Please help me with the cello.

Hurry, get into the car!

Hurry up!

Let's go!

Why were you so flustered?

Was Teacher Lin at your back?

Pretty close but it was Madam Li.

I was almost caught. If we were caught, she and Old Lin will definitely be monitoring me endlessly.

I'd have even less freedom.

Here. It's been tough on you.

Have some to prevent low blood sugar.

- Did you make this yourself? - Yes.

It's healthier when you make it yourself.

What's the matter? You don't want to eat it?

No, I'm worried that I might leave crumbs in the car.

No worries, I can have the car cleaned.

Do you want to have dinner together tonight?

I can't make it tonight.

There's a paper I need to edit.

No worries, work is important. We can try another time.

If I don't submit it too late, you can wait for me at home.

We can go for a walk.

- A walk? - Yes.

You're quite into maintaining health longevity.

So you're rejecting me?

Of course not! We can!

Then I'll leave now.

There's still some time. I'll take you to the door.

A parcel delivery notice. I bought two pieces of couple clothing.

About your piece, I was worried that it'd be discovered by Teacher Lin if I mailed it home.

So I had it delivered to the hospital. Remember to collect it.

W-what?

Don't worry. I listed it as academic materials. It won't be discovered.

No. I said, what did you buy?

Couple clothing.

I saw it in Yin Xi's social media so I asked for a link. It's this piece.

Two hearts come together to form one heart. Isn't it cute?

Xiao Xiao, are you sure that there are grown men who are willing to wear these things?

Yes.

Jin Shi wore it.

Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry. I won't wear it.

It's just not suited to my age.

No worries, I think it looks great even if I wear it by myself.

Senior!

Xiao Xiao.

- Hello, Dr. Gu. - It's been a while.

It's nice of you to still remember me.

Of course.

Senior, you came back from abroad?

Yes, I got back last night. The training ended.

I recently followed a lot of musical critique accounts.

They were all complimenting you for your performances.

And wanted you to increase your performances. Congratulations are in order.

Thank you, but I don't think it'll be possible.

But, my collaboration with your orchestra

will have an extra piece added.

There is an extra cello part.

So that means...

I recommended you.

So if your performance is up to scratch,

we can perform on stage together.

There will also be a lot of musical critiques and managers attending on the day.

Then that means if we do outstandingly then

- there's a chance we'll be recruited by a major company? - Yes, that's right.

- So...will you accept my invite? - Yes!

The only requirement is that you must

rehearse and cooperate with me.

That's not a problem. Please be assured that I will try my hardest at rehearsing.

Good.

Then... I'll wait for you in the rehearsal room.

- Okay, then see you in a bit. - Okay.

Bye, Dr. Gu.

- Let's have a meal together some time. - Sure, no problem.

- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

- What's wrong? - What do you mean, what's wrong?

He's just my senior. I'm sure you're aware.

The only one I love is you.

Of course I know that. Also, I know that

the concert is really important to your career so you must try really hard.

If there's time, I will attend to support you.

Thanks for your support and encouragement.

Now, go inside.

Here.

Go.

Bye-bye.

- Little Liu's girlfriend was stolen away! - You heard about this too?

- Of course! It was the fitness instructor. - Yes, yes. Exactly!

Also, it was by the girlfriend's first love!

What are you discussing during work hours?

- Little Wei, the patient at bed no.7 has to stop taking medication today. Pay attention to the heart rate. - Yes. Okay.

Give me another doctor's advice form.

Here.

- Oh right, send me the medical history to me in a bit. - Okay.

I'm leaving then.

- It's done. Pass it to bed no.7. - Okay.

Oh, please wait a moment Dr. Gu.

Your parcel was delivered this morning. I forgot to pass it to you.

What's so good about a first love?

Work hard. Cut back the chatter.

Of course first love is good. Such a handsome first love.

- So great. - Exactly.

[Huaqing University First Affiliated Hospital]

What is this one?

I think for this section, you need to pat attention to this crescendo.

Then the crescendo has to be on point.

For example this one, this one and this one.

Once you completed this crescendo, it will transition to the next section perfectly.

It shouldn’t have any issues.

Xiao Xiao.

Gu Wei. Excuse me, Senior.

You're finally here!

Did you miss me?

Wait.

Didn't you say you won't wear this?

Why not change up the style.

Oh that’s the reason why?

I thought you need to work tonight, why you’re here?

Thesis is delayed.

Then tonight…

Tonight, we can have dinner together.

That's great! Finally I don't have to go for a walk like old people do. I love your director.

You can but there's no need to.

Done with your practice?

Pack your things and let's go eat.

Wait for a moment.

- Senior Brother. - Look at the time.

No wonder I feel rather hungry.

Well.. would you like to dine with us?

Can I? This is great.

But I'm afraid Doctor Gu may not agree.

You can.

As long as Doctor Gu doesn't mind, I will join you both.

Okay.

Can't help it. Youngsters like us

love to regard courteous words of others as real.

Didn't you say to dine together this morning?

There's no better time than now. Today is fine.

- Let's go. - Done packing?

- Let's go. - I just recommended

your favorite restaurant near here to Doctor Gu.

Doctor Gu agreed too. Isn't that so?

Yes. As long as it's clean and healthy.

Let's go.

Senior Brother, sit over here.

The food will be served from there.

Okay.

You are sitting under the airconditioner. It's easy to catch cold after a long period of time.

It's easy to get arthritis.

Sit closer to here.

Let Shao Jiang order the food.

Senior Brother, make the order.

I want to thank Shao Jiang today for taking good care of Xiao Xiao.

Let Xiao Xiao order the food. We frequented this place before I went abroad.

She knows the signature dishes.

Okay. I will order then.

What would you like to drink?

Water is fine.

- What about you, Senior Brother? - I will have what we usually drink.

The five cereals drink, right?

Got it. I will order now.

Hold on, Xiao Xiao. Isn't there peanuts in the five cereals drink?

Aren't you allergic to peanuts? Let's reconsider this.

It won't happen. Don't worry. They don't use peanuts here. I can eat and drink whatever I like.

- Isn't that so, Senior Brother? - Of course.

These are the rights and interests you fought for. Do you still remember this?

Of course. The memory is still fresh in my mind.

Seems like when I was in the second year of high school

and you went to college.

I attended the performance of your college's orchestra. After it ended, I dined here with you.

I was so happy that I forgot about my allergy to peanuts.

I indulged in that ingredient and had allergy after that.

I merely went to the restroom for a moment.

When I came back, your entire face was swollen.

There were red rashes all over your body.

The owner was terrified.

When he accompanied you to the hospital, he trembled when he talked.

He said that he will never add peanuts in his food again.

When you made the police report, your hand was

just like shaking the bow.

Subsequently, do you still remember that your teacher who led the orchestra cried from anxiety.

It was Teacher Zhou.

No. It wasn't Teacher Zhou. It was Teacher Yao.

- It was Teacher Yao? - Yes, the one wearing spectacles.

You are always confused by them.

Yes. That's right. Teacher Yao is the one with spectacles.

It was so interesting.

Sorry. You may not know what we were talking about.

It's okay. It's very interesting.

That's good.

- Waitress. - Hello.

We are done with our orders. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I'm going to the restroom.

Lin Zhixiao is now my girlfriend.

I know but in this society now,

as long as you both are not married, I still have the chance.

You probably think I don't have the ability to contend

but you saw it too. Our memories and habits

can't be replaced. There's a large age gap between the both of you.

We are of the same age.

- What did you both chat about? - Nohting much.

We were discussing

the quality of the food here.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Doctor Gu, there's an urgent situation. Please come back now.

Okay, I know.

- What's wrong? - Xiao Xiao, sorry.

An emergency at the hospital. They want me to be there.

That sudden?

Doctor Gu is indeed very busy

but it's okay. I can take care of Lin Zhixiao.

Work is urgent. Go now.

I will see you off.

Please wait, Senior Brother. I'm seeing him off.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What's wrong with you? Why do I sense that you are unhappy today?

Did something happen at the hospital?

Yes.

- Is everything fine? - It's fine.

Wait for a while.

Why did you call for a cab? You are not driving there?

- Because the cab is for you. - You called the cab for me?

- I haven't finished my food. - It's not good to eat too much in the evening.

Go home early and rest. Don't stay out too late.

- What about Senior Brother Shao Jiang? He's alone now.... - Your Senior Brother is an adult.

He can take care of himself late in the night. Don't worry.

- Get in the cab. - Huh?

- Whatr about you? - Don't worry. Get in the cab.

Sir, please start the car.

Lin Zhixiao, call me when you reach home.

[Senior Brother. Doctor Gu said it's late

and told me to go home now.]

Hello, Old Xia. Where are you performing?

At a pub.

It's run by a friend, Old Li.

Okay. Text the address to me. I'm going over now.

What's wrong? You don't sound too happy.

I need to vent.

Let's do a Paganini special peformance today.

Okay. We will wait for you.

Okay.

So you still accepted this keyword 'cute' ?

Of course. I think that cute can describes

everything that's beautiful. Think about it.

Don't think that cute is beautiful as well.

But you are beautiful and cute too.

I seem to be contradting myself. It's just that you can be beautiful

and cute too.

But if you are only good looking,

you may not be cute, right?

You will always be cute to me then.

You asked when I knew you started to like me, right?

It's probably when you played the cello for me.

So what if you knew? You still rejected me.

I didn't rejected you. Before I could respond,

- you ran off. - Wasn't it because I was afraid you would reject me?

I wanted to leave immediately before you reject me.

Regarding confession of love,

I should do it instead.

(A Person Likes Another Person by Yang Zi)

♫ Walking by a bustling scenery ♫

♫ But I became mesmerized by a single raindrop ♫

♫ Watching it gliding down my fingertip ♫

♫ It's like pressing the intersection of strings on the (cello's) fingerboard ♫

♫ There are some insignificant matters ♫

♫ They were already planted in my heart at the outset ♫

♫ Later, as I leaned on you, I remembered with a smile ♫

♫ At that time, I was beyond self-control ♫

♫ A gesture that shows a person likes another person ♫

♫ It's to slowly draw closer ♫

♫ Secretly rejoicing how incredible it is ♫

♫ A poetic sentiment that conveys a person likes another person ♫

♫ It’s to care with abandon ♫

♫ Leaving no trace and no room to maneuver ♫
