[Meet Yourself]

[Episode 40]

A friend of mine introduced me to a businessman

who is doing handicraft export.

I have an appointment with him for tomorrow afternoon.

After we send our stuff back tomorrow morning,

you could come with me tomorrow afternoon.

No.

We can split up.

A friend of mine who is also my former colleague

is now working on travel consulting.

He can provide me with some resources that we may leverage.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What do you think of

when you're looking at this clock?

Time.

I always feel that

it is the embodiment of our hotel.

I am a turning gear inside.

Every part of this time machine works together

to maintain accurate timekeeping.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I only see time itself anyway.

Because you are a customer.

You are now a customer too.

I am.

Hongdou.

Manager Liu.

It's been a long time.

Haven't seen you in a while.

I heard you're back today.

I was just wondering why I haven't seen you yet.

Who's this?

This is my boyfriend.

He's my former colleague from Housekeeping Department,

Manager Liu.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I'd better let you go,

and I still have other work to do.

If you need anything, just call me.

Okay, see you.

See you.

Why did he call your name directly?

He liked me.

Really?

I'm not down to office romance.

You have so many rules!

Why are there flowers here?

Is it also a kind of turndown service?

Manager Xu,

you are always welcome home when you are free.

Wish you and Mr. Xie a happy love life.

It's nice, isn't it?

Take your time.

Okay.

Let me show you around.

The kitchen and the dining room

are on the first floor,

as well as all the lounges.

All the areas including the tea room

are all for common use.

However, you must clean up

after you use the areas.

Because the housekeeper is only responsible for

the cleaning of public areas.

Here, your room is on the second floor.

Be careful when you go upstairs.

Okay.

Be careful.

Here we are.

Hu,

let me introduce you to your new neighbors,

Kitty and Gang.

This is Hu.

Hello.

Nice to meet you, Hu.

Come on in.

Come.

Just look around.

What do you think?

Excellent.

If there are any problems, you can tell me.

[The path to freedom]

They must be given regular exposure to the sun.

In this way, the leaves can grow into

that kind of vivid green later on.

This is the process of photosynthesis.

You know that, right?

What's the matter?

I don't feel good.

What is ailing you?

My heart is ailing me.

Your heart?

You drink, smoke and stay up late all day long.

You had that coming.

I don't want to judge you, Hu.

Although we live together and we can help

and take care of each other,

but we can't always be there for you.

For example, no matter who is sick

we can go to the hospital

and take care of him or her for a couple days.

However, if you're seriously ill,

your parents are the ones to shoulder the burden.

Is that what you want?

Don't keep shaking your head.

What's wrong with your heart exactly?

Should you go to the hospital?

Xiaochun,

I want to go to Beijing.

Then go.

What now?

You want me

to lend you some money to buy a ticket?

Don't you want to ask me

why I wanna go to Beijing?

No, I don't.

I'm not your dad.

I'm not your mom.

You have

no sense of humanity.

Aren't we friends?

The dog always chases its food.

I know exactly what you're thinking about.

Who is the dog?

Who is the dog?

You're the dog.

You...

A man like a dog.

Alright.

Go if you want.

Manjun is much older than you,

but she still has the courage to start over

You are so young. If you work hard,

I think there are still opportunities for you.

But I need to remind you

that the cost of living in big cities

is extremely high.

It's not gonna work

if you keep muddling along like this.

Understood?

What's more, You need to know that

even if you go there,

you shouldn't get your hopes up.

You should let nature take its course

when it comes to love.

Okay.

Then that's the deal.

If you don't renew your lease,

the lease on your room

ends at the end of this month.

Then I'll put the rental advertisement online

ten days in advance.

Well, I... I haven't decided yet.

Then think about it for a few more days.

No problem.

Anyway, if you check out on short notice,

I won't refund the deposit.

You are such a heartless woman.

Am I heartless?

[The path to freedom]

My girl is so pretty.

Daddy's gonna wear your hair in a nice braid.

Mommy!

What brings you here today?

Daddy picked me up today.

I was delivering goods

to the customers close by,

so I stopped by to see Hulu.

I called your mother,

and she asked me to pick her up.

I'll sleep in the town hostel tonight.

I'll go cook then.

There is not much food at home anyway.

I'll just cook a simple meal.

I won't have dinner here.

I'll be gone in a minute.

Why?

Hulu missed you.

Leave after dinner.

Fine.

Then I'll help you with it.

Okay.

Luo Quan,

your mother called me and said that your father

hit you pretty hard last time.

Are you okay now?

I'm fine now.

I heard that you had a blind date some time ago.

How's that girl?

We have known each other for so many years,

so you should know me quite well.

I am such a hot-tempered person.

Sometimes, I don't use my brain when I talk,

so I might not talk properly.

I also have certain defects in my personality.

So it's not all your fault

that we divorced.

I also have my problem.

What's more,

don't take anything

I said to you before seriously.

In fact, I know very well in my heart

that you are not a person

who does not work hard.

I know that the reason you sold water purifiers

and drank with customers is to make more money

for the family.

I was too young.

After we had a child,

I felt that our life became a mess.

At that time, we weren't

mature enough to deal with the problem

and we saw things from a narrow perspective

so we couldn't see the whole picture.

Therefore,

we lost control of our emotions.

That's not true, Xiaochun.

It was my fault.

I promised you that when we got married,

I would give you happiness.

But...

So we were just too young and immature.

Happiness can not be given by others.

After all,

I always felt sorry for you.

Don't say that, Luo Quan.

I never regretted marrying you.

And I never regretted giving birth to Hulu.

Although we aren't a couple anymore,

I think we're living our respective lives well.

You need to stop saying sorry.

I think we should let go of the past

and look ahead.

Okay?

Peel the beans.

Fry this one first.

Then put that one in it.

Got it.

You need to turn it over.

Slightly.

Yes. Slightly.

Welcome back!

Thanks!

What are you cooking?

It smells yummy.

We are frying fish.

Little fish.

Aunt Gui is making something delicious.

We've all eaten.

Put your luggage away and come to eat.

Sure!

Okay.

Then we'll put our luggage away first.

Okay.

Nana, turn the fish over!

It's gonna be burnt!

Aunt Gui, you can open a restaurant

with your cooking skill.

My cooking skill is not good enough

to open a restaurant.

I just cook with whatever ingredients I have.

Right, Nana?

Yes.

Don't be too humble.

Aunt Hua has said that if you open a restaurant,

Galsang Flower Restaurant will be out of business.

Did you listen to what he said?

Flattery has almost turned my head.

By the way, Hu is going to Beijing.

Go to Beijing?

Hu is going to Beijing to look for love.

I'm not gonna look for love.

I'm gonna look for a job.

Is it embarrassing to admit that

you're gonna look for love?

Right?

That's it!

As long as you have something to pursue.

What about your job?

I haven't found one yet.

I plan to apply for a job

in the production department of a music company.

I still wanna work on music.

What if I can make an album or something later?

That would be great!

You should have gone there 800 years ago.

Lazybone.

Screw you.

800 years ago, I guess I was a little bug

in a stone crack.

As an old saying goes,

if you wanna plant a tree,

you should do it 10 years in advance.

Otherwise, you should do it right now.

You shouldn't be called Hu Youyu.

You should be called Hu Youli.

("Youli" here means knowing how to find excuses in Chinese.)

In my opinion, Hu Youli is a good name.

I'm thinking about changing my name.

By the way.

Today is my last day singing in the bar.

I would like to invite you

to enjoy my last show together.

- What do you think? - No problem.

Mr. Xie and I can't go.

A horse is going to give birth at the stable today.

We need to go to the stable.

What?

You need to accompany the horse during delivery?

Not exactly.

The baby pony is in an abnormal fetal position.

I'm a little worried about it.

Aunt Gui hasn't been to a bar before.

Go feel the vibe with them.

No. I'm not going.

People like us

are not suitable for places like bars.

A bunch of crazy and indulgent people

dance and shout wildly.

I'm not going.

There are no crazy people.

No.

Aunt Gui, the bar Hu is working at

is not a club.

It's not noisy there.

I won't go no matter what.

You've never been there.

Let's go together.

No.

I'm going to bed at nine o'clock.

You should try it!

Just grab a drink and you can leave.

It won't take you long.

No.

♫ The rain falls into the window. ♫

♫ My heart becomes moist as well when the dampness mists over everything. ♫

♫ Tell me how I can hide my heart purposely. ♫

♫ But no one ever told me. Only the rhythm of the falling rain answered. ♫

♫ I rubbed slowly in the dim world. ♫

It's so rude that these people come here

to drink and chat.

They don't even listen to the singer.

People can do whatever they want.

It's not at a concert.

In old days, when a girl was singing on the stage,

the audience would applaud for her.

Stop talking about the old days.

Yeah.

The alcohol costs three yuan in the supermarket.

It should cost at least five yuan here.

Think about it.

If it's five yuan, how can they make money?

Look over there.

18 yuan.

18.

The price was increased to 18 yuan

after they were transferred here from the market.

How much does this cost?

48 yuan.

Take a look.

A few grapes and less than an apple

cost 48 yuan.

Way too expensive.

You shouldn't think like this.

They need to make money.

Aunt Baopin.

Don't worry about the money.

It's Hu's treat today.

All we need to do is having fun.

That's right.

So expensive.

Xiaxia, stop playing with your phone.

This is very expensive. Eat.

Stop playing with your phone.

I'm replying to work messages.

Where did you get the chicken feet?

I brought it myself.

Have one?

Are you stupid?

This costs 48 yuan but you don't wanna eat it.

And you brought your own snack?

Put it away.

Eat this first.

♫ If the rain pours down, then I'll become an ocean. ♫

♫ Wearing the light you give me, I can fly with my wings again. ♫

Excuse me, lady.

May I add you on WeChat?

Sorry.

I have a boyfriend.

Sorry.

Are you dating?

No. It's just an excuse.

Baoping,

I think Xiaxia is becoming

more and more handsome now.

I think he and Nana can be a good match.

Nana is older.

But look at Xiaxia, he's too young.

They're not right for each other.

A wife older than the husband

ensures a richer life.

They're not right for each other?

I think they're goddamn right, aren't they?

Stop that. Okay?

Xiaxia is too young.

Look, his face flushed.

Stop talking about it.

It's not fun.

Stop joking.

My brother is embarrassed.

Aunt Baoping,

when Xiaxia gets married,

I'll pay for a part of his bride price.

Okay.

Thanks.

You're boring.

♫ Wearing the light you give me, I can fly with my wings again. ♫

Bravo! Nice song!

It's beautiful!

Thanks.

My dear friends,

brothers and sisters.

This is my last day singing here.

The next song

is written and composed by myself

called Wind.

The song is for all of you.

I hope

you can forget about your stressful life

at the moment and relax.

♫ I always aspire to be closer to the ideal. ♫

♫ The more I long for it, the more disoriented I become. ♫

♫ You're in a mess, and I'm flurried. ♫

♫ It is seeing everything, but it doesn't tell anyone. ♫

♫ Some stop, and some wander as always. ♫

♫ If life is a house, then the days we spend in it are windows. ♫

♫ The distance can stretch deeper and further in our vision. ♫

♫ Let the wind blow away the sadness on our faces. ♫

♫ Only when your spirit is free can you see the light. ♫

♫ The stories we want are happening right next to us. ♫

♫ Every window. ♫

♫ People ♫

♫ are forgetful. ♫

♫ People ♫

♫ are forgetful. ♫

Xu Hongdou.

Doudou.

Is the pony alright?

It can stand up now.

I told Uncle Zeqing to go home and rest.

Peng is coming here later.

We shall go home as well.

Wanna see the sunrise?

Is it dawn yet?

Get up.

Put the blanket on.

It's cold.

I feel hot.

It's cold outside.

Let me help you put the shoes on.

Come on.

♫ Listen to the rain falling into the silent forest ♫

♫ Enjoy the mountainous landscape at sunset ♫

♫ The raindrops on the roof fall into the eyes secretly ♫

Xie Zhiyao,

don't you think the sunrise has a kind of magic?

Yesterday is yesterday.

Tomorrow is tomorrow.

But today is a unique and brand new day.

The sun rises for me,

and everything can be solved.

This is something

that is engraved in human genes.

Human ancestors spent long nights

in dark caves,

and the sunrise

was the best reward.

The reward for the long night.

♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫

Why don't you say anything?

What's on your mind?

Nothing.

What I want is on my side now.

Xu Hongdou,

you're such a sweet talker full of rhetoric.

You can not cajole me in the future.

Of course, I'll cajole you.

Are you gonna cajole me now?

I'm telling you the truth now

because I don't wanna lie to you in the future.

I'll definitely cajole you, lie to you,

be narrow-minded, selfish, jealous, and envious.

Right?

Weigh the pros and cons.

Sway between loving you

and wanting to strangle you.

Because I am a human being.

The weaknesses of human nature

are evident in me.

Xu Hongdou,

why are you saying this?

What's wrong?

I mean

why did you put your love for me

in such a big paragraph.

My love for you?

You love me.

You just want to hear

what you want to hear, don't you?

I am a human being too.

I also have a lot of human weaknesses.

Take your time to find them out.

♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫

♫ The light and shadow of four seasons ♫

You have gum in your eye.

Let me rub it away for you.

What?

Gum?

I'm going back to catch up on my sleep.

Really?

Where's the gum?

I've already rubbed it away for you.

Really?

I won't lie to you.

I feel like you are lying to me.

[A year later]

[Do whatever you want. I'll always have your back. From Xu Hongmi ]

[Open. Teatime: 2 p.m.- 4 p.m.]

Boss, may I put the flower here?

No.

It'll get in the way.

Put it here.

Sure.

Qin, we will have guests coming soon.

Let's go check the room.

Okay.

Hongdou, our first guest is already dining.

Morning, my first guest.

Did you sleep well last night?

I had a sound sleep last night.

The pillow is exceptionally comfy.

Is it?

I specially bought you this neck pillow.

What about the breakfast?

I love the rice noodles.

Shanshan, go get some chili sauce

for our customer.

Okay.

It's okay if you don't have it.

We have everything here.

If you need anything, just tell the waitress.

Thanks.

I'll go check the room then.

There's an important customer coming later.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

We have checked this room

according to the procedure.

There's no problem.

There are absolutely no fingerprints

on the glasses and faucets.

♫ Do you ever feel alone? Standing in the road. ♫

♫ Don't know where to go. ♫

♫ In the air my memories flow. Faces in a row. ♫

♫ Take a long way home. ♫

♫ But all of these remind me to believe no one will stay or leave ♫

Perfect.

In the future, we should all follow this standard.

Got it.

Let's go to the next room.

Hello?

You said you'll come after you get changed.

What is taking you so long?

I have no idea which clothes I should wear.

Haven't you decided yet?

Do you think I should dress more formal

or more casual?

Just wear what you normally wear.

Yao, take a look.

Which one is better?

They both suit you.

Pick one for me.

This one.

Okay.

Don't be nervous.

Take it easy.

I...I know.

I...I'm not nervous.

I forgot to tell my dad

to clean up the stable at home.

It's fine.

It's totally fine.

Not too bad?

They're here!

They're here!

Mom! Dad!

Sir. Madam. Nice to meet you.

Welcome!

You must be Yao.

You look more handsome

and charismatic than in the video.

Good. Very good.

She's always like this, loving to see cute guys.

This way.

Let's walk while talking.

Let's go.

We shall put our luggage away later.

After that, we're gonna have a meal at Yao's.

His whole family is waiting.

Okay.

Give it to me.

Put it in the car

We're not tired.

We're so excited.

Here.

Thank you so much, young man.

Don't mention it.

Do you miss me?

Of course.

I can't miss you anymore.

Be careful.

Give it to me.

Come on.

Is there enough space?

Yes.

No problem.

Get in the car.

Okay.

Get in.

Come on. Get in.

- Dad, get in the car. - Okay.

Siping, Lanzhi! They're here!

Granny.

Daddy. Auntie.

Hongdou's mom and dad are here!

There's a horse here!

No rush. Take your time.

Auntie!

Hello, auntie!

This is your wife.

Hello, sir and madam.

How's your trip?

Good.

Granny, I finally meet you.

How have you been?

I've been great!

Look at these.

You shouldn't have bought so many things.

Come on.

I brought some specialties from my hometown for you.

Come and sit inside

Where's Yuan?

He's about to have the college entrance examinations.

There's a horse.

What a nice place!

Fantastic.

Do you drink?

I seldom drink.

Dou always restrains me.

She won't let me drink.

Forget about her.

That's right. Forget about her.

They really know how to socialize.

What are we compared to them?

What are we?

An eunuch in the palace who meets his Majesty.

Zha! ("Zha" means too bad.)

An eunuch in the palace who meets his Majesty.

It's "Zhe"!

I say, Zha!

Okay.

Zha!

Xiaxia.

Aren't you supposed to be in the guesthouse?

I came to get something.

Where are you going?

Go and take a look at your guesthouse.

Sure.

I'll buy you coffee.

Nana.

I'm leaving.

Leaving?

Where are you going?

I'm going to a wood-carving workshop

to learn some crafts.

Did you tell your master?

Yes.

He supported me.

Besides,

I still want to come back in the future.

Good for you.

Hearing this abruptly

makes me feel that I have missed you already.

We could often see each other before,

but you're going far away all of a sudden.

Really?

Will you reply to my messages if I text you?

Of course, I will.

How can I not reply to your message?

Then you promise.

Xiaxia,

I have always treated you as my younger brother.

I know.

It's okay.

Take good care of yourself

after you go to Xiamen.

I will.

Whose cattle left so much dung here?

It must have been a herd of cattle.

I'm back again!

Still the same.

Nothing has changed.

Look.

The futon you meditated on

hasn't been worn out yet.

Sorry.

This is a private residence.

Visitors are not allowed to come in.

Hello.

We used to live here.

So we wanna stop by.

Gentlemen, you are not allowed to walk around

and take pictures here.

Aunt Gui.

Hu. Mr. Ma.

How are you?

I'm good.

Good.

I'm sorry for what happened just now.

Now there are more tourists in the village

and they come to take pictures every day.

You're here to travel?

Manager Xu's guesthouse is having a soft launch.

She reserved two rooms for us.

So we decided to have a holiday here

this weekend.

Wonderful!

How have you been?

How's your work?

Thanks for your blessing.

I've been doing great.

Me too.

And Manjun is doing great.

Good for you all!

I'm happy for you.

What about you?

How are you doing?

Of course, I'm doing good.

In the spring, I went for a physical examination,

checking my stomach and intestines, basically everything.

And there's no problem at all.

The doctor said I'm even healthier

than young people like you guys.

Nothing is more important than health.

Exactly. I totally agree.

He is Hu, He used to live in your room.

Hello.

How about we go to the guesthouse first,

and we'll let you crack on?

Sure.

I'll come to meet with you guys tonight.

Of course.

You must come.

Take good care of that room.

What are you rubbing?

Is it dung?

It's luck! (Stepping on cattle or dog dung heralds upcoming luck in Chinese)

I'll leave it here for you.

Leave it here for you.

Let's go.

Okay.

See you tonight.

Okay. See you tonight.

Mr. Ma.

There has been a lot of publicity

for your store.

Are you gonna open a new branch?

Blind optimism is inadvisable.

Many tea stores entered the market this year,

but they were all so similar that

the market has become extremely competitive.

Competitions are good.

Competitions mean prospects.

Everyone is going into the market.

Hu, How are you and Manjun now?

We are da-ting.

Dating.

Da-ting?

Dating?

Still dating?

So what?

What about you?

Do you have a boyfriend now?

What do you mean?

Look down upon me, don't you?

I'll tell you what.

It is me who is not interested in them.

It's not that nobody likes me.

- Understand? - I know that.

I heard that there was a man called Hui, right?

That was like 800 years ago.

He sent me an invitation six months ago.

I guess he might have a baby now.

Stop joking about it.

Hongdou, where are your mom and dad?

They're playing mahjong at Mr. Xie's.

I'm gonna pop the champagne!

Here.

Let me serve you.

Come on.

Let's drink.

Here you are.

Awesome.

Here.

Thanks.

Nothing.

Are you guys ready now?

Well, Manager Xu, say something!

Applause!

Everyone, applause!

Say something!

Say a lot!

Alright.

Today is the first day of the soft launch

of Soft Breeze Guesthouse.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude

to my dear friends from all over the world

who come to gather here

and witness the new chapter of my career.

How time flies.

A year has passed.

I was not in a good mood

when I first arrived here

and met you guys.

We all have our own troubles.

Fortunately, we have all gotten through these.

Seeing that

your lives and everything

are back on the right track,

I feel really happy for you guys.

Of course.

I am truly thankful to my Mr. Xie.

It was his Youfeng Yard that gave people like us

who are struggling in this world

an opportunity and a temporary space

to have a break

and get to know each other.

♫ When the wind rises, the sky will be cloudless ♫

My gratitude for you all is in wine.

Cheers!

Come on!

Come on!

Everyone!

Wait a moment!

Old rules.

Make a toast before drinking.

I'll go first.

May all your wishes come true.

Great!

I wish we can have a year of harvest.

Why? Isn't that a good wish?

It is!

I wish a world of everlasting peace

and a prosperous China.

Bravo!

A peaceful world!

A peaceful universe!

We all make a fortune!

Get rich!

All shall be well!

Every Jack has his Jill.

Many happy returns of the day.

Wish us happiness and prosperity.

Bottoms up!

Come on.

When are you going to Mount Huangshan

to participate in

the conference of B&B industry.

On Friday.

Then I'm afraid I can't drive you to the airport.

I have to go to Beijing on Thursday

for some issues on collaboration.

Then let's split up.

Don't book a ticket for me.

The expense should be reimbursed by the corporate account.

Okay.

Play by the rules.

So many stars.

I wonder

which one is your grandma,

which one is Chen Nanxing,

and which one

is my mom.

I don't know.

Why?

I wish time could stop at this moment.

At this moment

I feel we are getting closer

to the ultimate happiness.

Then let time stop.

Let's count three, two, one,

and it can stop.

Have a try.

Try it.

One.

Two.

Three.

♫ Waiting for the seabirds to call forth the ripples ♫

♫ Waiting for the sunlight to shine into my heart across the lake ♫

♫ Set sail when it's windy ♫

♫ The reflection of clouds, the changing moon and the stars all over the sky ♫

♫ The lost footsteps will be gradually erased ♫

♫ The light and shadow of four seasons ♫

♫ I've seen the meteor that lights up the night sky ♫

♫ When the wind rises, the sky will be cloudless ♫

♫ Go to a windy place to meet you ♫
