05:06It's called
05:08I won't breathe.
05:26Breakfast is ready.
05:38Mingye! You're back early.
05:49Didn't you ask me to come back?
05:57Are you here to pack your things?
05:59You mean to help you pack your things?
06:03Oh, yeah.
06:05When do you want me to leave?
06:09Why are you laughing?
06:11I'm laughing because I never said you should go home.
06:15You're the one who said it.
06:16Wait. You mean you're not mad at me anymore?
06:20Oh, gosh.
06:21I've thought it through. And I think you're right.
06:24He just doesn't love me. It's not my fault.
06:27Don't be upset. It's not your fault.
06:30I mean, it was unrequited love.
06:33It's not my fault. It's nothing serious.
06:37Nothing as bad as your situation.
06:40As far as I know, Ling Xiao and He Ziqiu have no idea what's actually going on.
06:46You've been dating them at the same time.
06:48One apartment. Two boys are going to have their hearts broken.
06:52That's an exciting story. I won't miss it for the world.
06:55And I am the only insider.
06:58I get to watch you rise and fall like some personal TV series.
07:04You're so evil.
07:06So exciting.
07:08Well, excuse me.
07:30What's wrong? Everyone's so quiet.
07:32Did anything happen while I was not here?
07:37Qi Mingyi, about that thing with us.
07:40Don't worry. It's no big deal.
07:42We're not that close. It was just a misunderstanding.
07:46Unlike that three of you who've grown up together.
07:49No secrets, no misunderstandings.
07:51You know each other very well.
08:07Ziqiu.
08:09Are you bringing food to your uncle at the hospital?
08:12Yeah. Hospital food's junk. I have to cook for him.
08:17Dad called and said I should pay your uncle a visit.
08:20What happened to your uncle?
08:22Cancer. He's doing chemo.
08:24How's he doing?
08:25He's okay. It was detected early. He'll survive.
08:30Right. Good to know.
08:32Oh, hey, Mingyi.
08:33Good morning. Have breakfast.
08:37Huh?
08:39Hey!
09:06Go away, go away, go away!
09:09What's wrong?
09:11Ziqiu.
09:13You won't force a kiss on me, right?
09:17What are you saying? Why would I do that?
09:20What if I'm the one not in the right mind?
09:22If you go crazy,
09:23I'll pin your head to the fridge until you're back to your senses.
09:27Awesome, awesome. That's the perfect answer.
09:30Hey, was that a hint?
09:32Awesome, awesome. That's the perfect answer.
09:35Hey, was that a trap? What are you planning?
09:37I can't! Get off me!
09:39You can't what?
09:40By the way, Lingxiao said you fought with Tang San last night.
09:43What happened?
09:45She started it.
09:46I didn't say you did.
09:47But have you seen how long Tang San's fingernails are?
09:50You're not going to win against her.
09:52You have to be crafty.
09:54Like how?
09:55You can tickle her. She'd hate that.
09:59Good plan, good plan.
10:03Oh hey, Zhenzhen!
10:04Did you read the link that I sent you yesterday?
10:07That's what I wanted to talk about.
10:09Who wrote that feature anyway? It's all lies!
10:12How could anyone believe that?
10:14I'm the leading figure in wood carving? I'm leading?
10:17Why am I leading?
10:18I paid for the article. They're verified.
10:20And have many readers.
10:21You know what? We have an increase in followers.
10:24Uh-huh. 30 followers.
10:26Hey, look at the campus paper.
10:28Read the headline. Go ahead. See?
10:31This is only the beginning.
10:33Later on, we'll have verified accounts.
10:35I'm working on those.
10:36By the way, one reporter from the City Mornings Weekly
10:39has returned our call.
10:40He wants to set up an interview.
10:42We have to promote our studio better.
10:44Promos, media, and ads!
10:46Anyway, let me handle it.
10:48Oh, you're the best, baby!
10:50When did I agree to be interviewed by anyone?
10:54I have nothing to say. Cancel it.
10:57Hey, Miss Li! You can't just do that.
11:00You're not the sole owner of the studio.
11:02Du Juan owns half of it.
11:04As business partners,
11:05we have to consider what the other party wants.
11:11But these are lies.
11:12Read the article again.
11:13How am I supposed to stand behind that?
11:15It's exaggerated.
11:16If Peng finds out about this,
11:18he's going to throw a log at us.
11:20Who's Peng?
11:21Uh, her professor, Peng Yulin.
11:25Mr. Peng rakes in a lot of money every year.
11:27He always gives interviews.
11:28I mean, what?
11:29He can't be the only one.
11:31His students need to have a voice.
11:35Are you head of promotions or the studio manager?
11:37You're my employee, you understand?
11:39If your boss says no, learn to accept it!
11:55Hey.
12:00What's with that look on your face?
12:02It's the middle of the day.
12:03I won't do anything.
12:07Thank you, Xixi.
12:10Hey, what's going on between you and Jianjian?
12:20Boring.
12:23Holding hands?
12:26Well, that's not really news.
12:29Did you kiss?
12:31Hey, can you chill?
12:33I don't think about you that way.
12:35And if you want to, I'll back off.
12:37I don't want my private life to be open to everyone.
12:41I promise.
12:42I'm not going to tell anyone.
12:45I'm going to get lunch.
12:46I'll come with.
12:47Rain check. I'm meeting someone.
12:49Bye-bye.
13:03You didn't have to take me out to lunch.
13:05Just order whatever you want.
13:07But I'm not good at that.
13:09You're not?
13:11You don't need to be good at it.
13:12Just choose from the menu.
13:13Order whatever you like.
13:17There's so many choices.
13:18Doesn't this make things more difficult?
13:20They're allowed to choose from.
13:22But for many of us,
13:23we usually end up choosing familiar tastes and comfort foods.
13:27Food we love.
13:28Once you figure this out, choosing is easy.
13:31Mom scolds me for ordering the same things.
13:34When your mom eats out,
13:35she usually orders the same things.
13:37I don't know.
13:38Excuse me.
13:39Order, please.
13:41What would you like?
13:42Uh...
13:43Garlic vermicelli,
13:45steamed scallops,
13:48pepper prawns,
13:50and fried veal.
13:52You want some vegetables?
13:54Water spinach.
13:55Water spinach is a bit chewy this time of the year.
13:58We'll just have sautéed vegetables.
14:00I don't know about you,
14:01but I'm not a big fan of vegetables.
14:03Water spinach.
14:04Water spinach is a bit chewy this time of the year.
14:07We'll just have sautéed lettuce and garlic
14:09and a pot of some tea.
14:11Thank you.
14:12Okay, right away.
14:17I did it!
14:19That's what my mom would order.
14:21You did a great job.
14:23You're buying me lunch and teaching me how to order.
14:26I didn't teach you anything.
14:28I just told you what works for me.
14:30You're the one who made the decision.
14:34You're right.
14:35I can't even decide what to eat for lunch.
14:38That's why you don't want to date me.
14:41I'm indecisive and self-indulgent.
14:45Ling Xiao, you don't have to pay for this lunch.
14:47Let's split halfway.
14:49You know what I realized?
14:51You like blaming yourself,
14:53belittling yourself.
14:55No, I think I'm just being self-aware.
14:57You're awesome.
14:58Just be more confident.
15:01You've told me that before,
15:03back when we were in high school.
15:06Well, if I'm so awesome,
15:08why do you still not like me?
15:10What you're worth has nothing to do with what I like.
15:14They're different things.
15:16Oh, you're right.
15:18It means I'm not good enough.
15:21You are good enough.
15:23How can we be friends if you're not a good person?
15:26Alright, at least I'm friend-zoned.
15:33I need to work on myself.
15:35It's possible that I have many shortcomings of my own.
15:39No, no, no. I'm the one who fell short.
15:42Listen, let me finish.
15:44I mean, yes, we're friends.
15:46But the truth, in the beginning,
15:49I was only using you.
15:52When I was in college in Singapore,
15:55all my hours were dedicated towards taking care of my mother
15:59and my little sister.
16:01I would cook her food.
16:03I would do all the house chores,
16:05wake up at night for my mom.
16:07She was so unstable.
16:09She would act up.
16:11I absorbed everything.
16:13But I felt empty and tired.
16:16I didn't know what to do.
16:19But I felt empty and tired.
16:22When I couldn't stand it anymore,
16:24I would message you, ask about Zhenzhen.
16:28In those times, I felt a little better.
16:32I felt like I could breathe.
16:38If those moments helped you,
16:41then I won't take it against you.
16:43I wanted to do that for you.
16:45You weren't taking advantage.
16:48I can't say that now, but I still made a mistake.
16:51What I mean is, I'm sorry.
16:54Hey, it's over.
16:56It's in the past.
16:58Actually, I want to thank you for telling me all about that.
17:01I'm glad I was able to help.
17:03You know what you should be telling me?
17:05Thank you.
17:07Thank you.
17:09You're welcome, my friend.
17:13I have a question.
17:14That is, if you don't mind me asking.
17:17Before I left for college, we've been friends for a year.
17:20And in that year, we barely spoke to each other.
17:23So I don't know when you fell in love with me,
17:26and why you did.
17:31I've liked you since Senior 1.
17:34You were soft-spoken and gentle.
17:37And that's when you told me that I was okay.
17:41So I developed a crush.
17:44It's been that long? Really?
17:49But why me? You didn't know me that well.
17:52I knew who you were. You were a good person.
17:55I know we were always on WeChat.
17:58But we only talked about Jen-Jen.
18:00You didn't ask about me, or how I'm doing.
18:03And I know I didn't open up either.
18:06So how do you know me?
18:08I knew your life was difficult.
18:10Was there something else I didn't know?
18:13I know I was struggling, but you didn't ask why.
18:19My theory is, you didn't really like me.
18:25When you learned about my feelings for Jen-Jen,
18:28you were more embarrassed, rather than hurt.
18:31Hey. You and Ling Xiao finally reached an understanding?
18:34Misunderstanding. We've been friends for a long time.
18:37We're going to continue being friends.
18:39So things are back to normal.
18:41You've been in love with him since high school.
18:43Things are back to normal?
18:45You're like somebody else.
18:47You're just going to give up?
18:49Well, what else?
18:51You have to show your real self.
18:53You have to show your real self.
18:55You have to show your real self.
18:57You have to show your real self.
18:59What else?
19:01You have to show your rival a good fight.
19:03You have to fight for your love.
19:05How can you give him up so easily?
19:07After nine long years?
19:09Are you kidding?
19:11Have you lost your mind?
19:13Tell me what you like about Ling Xiao.
19:19Actually, I've been asking myself that
19:21while I was on my way home.
19:23Instead of dating him,
19:25I think I can like him from a distance.
19:29Having a crush on him makes it easier
19:31to control the situation.
19:33There are no risks. There are no worries.
19:35But every time that I think of him,
19:37I'll still feel happy and comforted.
19:41But that makes no sense at all.
19:43Why do you have to like from a distance?
19:46That's complicated.
19:48It does make no sense.
19:50If some guy comes and tells you about their feelings,
19:53and you like them too,
19:55you better learn to start loving up close.
19:58If you keep acting this way,
20:00your mom's going to drag you home,
20:02and she'll marry you off. Watch out.
20:08Why is life so difficult for both of us?
20:11You, unlucky in love.
20:13Me, unlucky in career.
20:16But look at Li Jianjian.
20:18She's lucky at both things.
20:20Her works are even sold abroad.
20:22Have you heard that article?
20:24She's a trailblazer.
20:26The leading figure of woodcarving in her time.
20:29She's a real artist.
20:31Here we are, a couple of nobodies.
20:33You with your temp job.
20:35Me with my nothing.
20:37We're not worthy friends for her anymore.
20:41You shouldn't say that.
20:50Next time, lower your voice, okay?
20:56Cheers.
21:26¶¶
21:57Li Jianjian,
21:59why are you taking your emotions out on that cake?
22:02I'm worried you're going to get diabetes.
22:04How'd you know I'm here?
22:06I wanted to go to that back alley.
22:08I thought I'd get you some cake for when you get home.
22:11Oh.
22:13Well, I already had cake.
22:15Do you want the rest?
22:17Sure.
22:19I'll get you a spoon. Hold up.
22:22About last night...
22:24I don't care!
22:26Oh.
22:28I really don't care.
22:30Uh-huh.
22:32What do you mean by that?
22:34It means I understand.
22:36You shouldn't do that again.
22:39I don't care.
22:41I don't care.
22:43I don't care.
22:45I don't care.
22:47I don't care.
22:49You shouldn't do that again.
22:51Did it really feel that bad?
22:53Yes, it was horrible!
22:55I grew some pimples overnight, you see that?
22:57That wasn't my fault.
22:59You keep staying up late and forgetting to exercise.
23:01Nonsense! It's your fault!
23:04Fine.
23:06It's all my fault.
23:08I'm sorry.
23:20I had lunch with Chi Ming Ye earlier.
23:24What happened?
23:26I apologized. I cleared things up.
23:28Because if we're going to start going out,
23:30it might affect your friendship with her.
23:34What's the matter?
23:36Are you upset?
23:38We've been friends for such a long time.
23:40I never thought Tang San would be jealous.
23:42What's there for her to be jealous about?
23:44The studio only started to make money this year.
23:47We've always had such difficult clients,
23:49asking for endless revisions.
23:51How can she even be jealous?
24:03Calm down.
24:05Don't be upset.
24:07Maybe she's having a hard time.
24:09She's having an unlucky streak.
24:19You know what I'd like?
24:21I want everyone to have a good life.
24:24For all to be rich.
24:26And I wish for world peace.
24:28I wish for peace.
24:30For all to be rich.
24:32And I wish for world peace.
24:35I have a simpler wish.
24:37A happy family.
24:39A healthy family.
24:42No one's sick.
24:44Oh, exactly.
24:46Health is the most important thing.
24:48And what else?
24:50And I want...
24:52two kids of my own.
24:54After marriage.
24:56I don't want two kids.
24:58I want...
25:02Come here.
25:04I'll hit you.
25:05I don't wanna.
25:06You don't wanna?
25:07One.
25:08Two.
25:09Three!
25:11Such chubby cheeks.
25:13No! Stop squishing my face!
25:15I said stop squishing my face!
25:17I'm gonna get mad, I promise!
25:19Girls get mad when boys touch their faces.
25:21I said stop it!
25:22I hate you!
25:28Finally!
25:59Hey, maybe you should take a break.
26:01I can do this.
26:02This is just a Goddess Guanyin statue.
26:04Yeah, but it's a rush order.
26:06Where's Zhu Miao?
26:08They have a morning activity at the society.
26:11And he's made a lunch appointment
26:12to the morning weekly reporter.
26:14No one told me.
26:15And why does the society have so many activities?
26:17I have to rush to Zhezhe's coffee shop for that interview.
26:20What the heck is this lunch for?
26:22Listen, Zhu Miao thought that it's a good idea.
26:25Building a relationship with reporters
26:27will be good for our studio.
26:28Why do you keep babying him?
26:29Let him do his job on his own.
26:31Oh, come on.
26:33I'm just a little worried about him.
26:35You know how he is.
26:37Go easy on him for my sake, okay?
26:39Am I not easy on him?
26:41I let him leave early because of you.
26:43All right, all right.
26:44Take a break.
26:45Go on.
26:55Cheers.
27:13Is it okay to start?
27:15Can you tell me when you started wood carving?
27:18I was in middle school, third year summer vacation.
27:21That's when it began.
27:23I walked into a wood carving studio,
27:25and I saw a wood carver creating the statue of the goddess Guanyin.
27:28Out of the wood block I started to see
27:30the face of the goddess being revealed.
27:32It drew my attention.
27:34Third year of middle school?
27:35That's a really early start.
27:37It just caught my interest.
27:38So when I got home that day,
27:40I started looking up wood carving online.
27:42Then I bought some tools and started carving at home.
27:45I took up painting as a kid,
27:47and that helped me transition to wood carving.
27:51Hey, hey, hey.
27:52Over there.
27:53The boss's sister.
27:54She's famous.
27:55Someone's interviewing her.
27:57How can these people be so lucky in life?
28:01Their dad is rich, the son is rich,
28:03so of course the daughter is rich.
28:05Exactly.
28:06You know I'm kind of getting worried,
28:08because we might close soon.
28:09Do you know how low our sales are?
28:11It's only about 400 yuan.
28:13We're getting kicked out.
28:14You know what our boss has?
28:16A rich dad.
28:17Dad, this little coffee shop is to make his sister happy.
28:20A hobby.
28:22He's good looking, he's a rich kid,
28:25and he's good to his sister.
28:28They're not biological.
28:30It's a little fishy.
28:31Trust me, I know these things.
28:34This way.
28:46Hey, do my desserts taste good?
28:49They're delicious.
28:50I can even tell you something else.
28:52The other shops can never compare.
28:54They taste really good.
28:56I think so too.
29:03Hey, you know what?
29:05He grew up rich and spoiled.
29:07That's why he has no idea people can't afford his cakes.
29:11Get back to work.
29:13I see the charm in traditional art,
29:15but not many people practice them anymore.
29:17I think that's such a loss.
29:19It's really sad.
29:21Allow me to go off topic for this question.
29:23We've seen the piece that you call Trinity.
29:26You made that to represent your close bond.
29:28And now, do you still have the same bond?
29:34We haven't been getting a lot of customers.
29:36Don't worry, it's off-season,
29:38so we should focus on improving our systems.
29:40And now, do you still have the same bond?
29:42So chin up, and greet everyone with a smile.
29:44All right? Give it here.
29:47Let's go, let's go, let's go!
29:48Let's go!
29:49Great, go ahead.
29:53Business is bad, huh? I don't see customers.
29:58It's just not the season.
30:00What are you talking about?
30:03What are your plans to drum up your sales?
30:05Dad introduced me to a friend.
30:06Her name is Ms. Liu.
30:08She's a cafe setup consultant.
30:10Apparently, she's also trained staff.
30:12I'm calling her in tomorrow to help us.
30:14And she's Dad's friend?
30:16I've never heard of her.
30:17Well, me neither.
30:20Anyway, just keep working hard, okay?
30:24And get those crazy things out of your head.
30:27Why do you call them crazy things?
30:33It cost about several hundred thousand for this, right?
30:37And even if Chou Hua Guang gave it to you,
30:39you still can't waste it.
30:42Stop saying Chou Hua Guang.
30:44All right, all right. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
30:46Still, you put everything into this cafe.
30:50So work hard.
30:51Keep your mind on the cafe, instead of women.
30:54You're talking about women now?
30:58Are you a woman?
30:59You're just a little kid.
31:03Stop staring.
31:07Really?
31:08Yeah.
31:09Let's be serious.
31:11I had images of our wedding day.
31:17Wait.
31:18Seriously?
31:21You think about that and...
31:23It's like seeing straight from a nightmare.
31:25It was scary.
31:28See, when I think of you,
31:30I see a biological brother.
31:32Do you understand?
31:33You and I, we can fight one day,
31:35and maybe not talk for many years.
31:37But every time New Year's Eve comes,
31:39we would still gather on the dinner table,
31:41hurling threats at each other.
31:42That's our brand of relationship.
31:44That doesn't mean it wouldn't work.
31:46When we get married, we can do this.
31:49We eat our meals together.
31:51Yes, siblings eat their meals together.
31:53But couples?
31:54Couples eat and sleep together.
31:56What's the big deal?
31:57When we were kids,
31:59when we were kids,
32:00we slept on the same bed.
32:02Couples do more than sleep.
32:06You're a kid.
32:07What are you talking about?
32:08Don't think of that.
32:09Stop imagining weird stuff.
32:13I'm 25 years old.
32:15I'm not five.
32:17And though I haven't had a real relationship,
32:19it doesn't mean I'm clueless.
32:26The girl you want to protect
32:28is Li Jianjian at 5,
32:30Li Jianjian at 10,
32:31Li Jianjian at 16.
32:34But I'm a grown woman now.
32:36I can take care of myself
32:38and my family.
32:53The documents don't matter.
32:55Our household register
32:57may not have our names in there.
32:59But we know we're a family.
33:01Registered or not,
33:02you and I are brother and sister.
33:04And that's good enough.
33:06Right?
33:12Well, let's say we had a register.
33:16Who's in there?
33:18Well...
33:21Household of Li Haichao.
33:24Family members, Sun Huiying,
33:26relationship,
33:27wife,
33:28deceased,
33:30He Ziqiu,
33:31childest son,
33:33Li Jianjian,
33:34eldest daughter.
33:37What about Ling Xiao?
33:40Use that our register.
33:42He has his own.
33:43He's listed in another.
33:46Household of Ling Haoping,
33:48one son,
33:49Ling Xiao.
33:57Hey, Ziqiu.
34:01You and I have always been family.
34:17Hi, director.
34:18My name's Teng San.
34:19I'm 26 years old.
34:20I'm 5'5",
34:21and I'm 48 kilograms.
34:23I've shot many TV shows.
34:25I've shot many TV commercials
34:26and TV series.
34:28And I can carry off any style.
34:30Today, I represent the character
34:32Li Tianna.
34:33Action.
34:38I...
34:40I...
34:54Li Jianjian brought some noodles.
35:09Li Jianjian brought some noodles.
35:27Friend,
35:29why didn't you tell us
35:31that you wanted to quit on being an actress?
35:34You told us that
35:36they're only casting you as...
35:38What's that called?
35:39An extra?
35:40A background character?
35:41Part of the crowd?
35:44So did something change?
35:46Tell us.
35:47What's on your mind?
36:04Out with it.
36:05Yes, right, talk to us.
36:07We can talk about this, right?
36:09We'll support you.
36:15Yeah.
36:16I've been auditioning for a while.
36:19No callbacks.
36:23Why didn't you tell us about this?
36:24You always have our support.
36:26I know I have your support.
36:29You're consistent.
36:30Always.
36:31You're consistent.
36:32Always there.
36:35That's right.
36:36Ever since Senior High,
36:37we've always been here.
36:39Senior High.
36:44That's right.
36:46Ever since Senior High,
36:47I've been on a downward spiral.
36:50They're back in my memory.
36:52It has been 48,000 years ago.
36:54Yet this is a happy change.
36:56There is no people.
36:57And now my eyes are blind for the birds.
36:59And now my eyes are blind for the birds.
37:03Come in.
37:19Hey, she's reading the book and not the play.
37:24They weren't even sure yet,
37:25but her mom already excused her.
37:27Even the principal heard about it
37:28and came to see her.
37:29Well, it's a big lie.
37:30It's Director Cho.
37:32He's very popular.
37:33How can he choose a nobody to be the female lead?
37:36It's our fault for believing her.
37:38Hey, that's true.
37:40She did lie to us.
37:41How come the boys are not seeing through her?
37:44It's her pretty face.
37:46Hey, should we really be mean to her?
37:48She's our classmate after all.
37:49I don't care.
37:51Hide your food!
37:52The teacher's coming!
37:53Run, run, run!
37:59You shouldn't think of what others say.
38:02They're saying that because they're jealous of you.
38:05How would they understand?
38:07It's an opportunity that everybody would want.
38:09Even failing it is a good thing.
38:11You understand?
38:13Just get used to it.
38:14That's how people are.
38:15When you're on the top, there they are.
38:18When you're at the bottom,
38:19there they are, too.
38:21They're jealous of you.
38:22They're jealous of you.
38:23They're jealous of you.
38:24They're jealous of you.
38:25There they are.
38:27When you're at the bottom,
38:28they laugh.
38:29They call you many names.
38:31That's normal.
38:32Don't worry about them.
38:33Huh, sweetie?
38:35And you know what?
38:36You're now trained in Beijing.
38:38That's surely something good, isn't it?
38:40Real gold will never lose its brilliance.
38:42Hey, an entertainment company called me up yesterday.
38:45He said he saw you during the training.
38:47He said you're very good.
38:49That he'll sign you up.
38:52You mean an agent from Beijing?
38:53That's right!
38:54He's talent manager Wang.
38:56So how did it go with him?
38:59Well, we were just...
39:02We talked about it, but I didn't probe.
39:05These talent management groups,
39:06they won't do you much good.
39:08Listen, you want a manager?
39:10I'll be the one.
39:11We'll get projects, okay?
39:12I think you should know how greedy they can be.
39:15They want a very big commission.
39:17Because you're a newbie.
39:19They want 70%.
39:21They won't do 50-50.
39:22It's horrible.
39:23We work hard,
39:24and we'll just give them almost all of our earnings.
39:26They do nothing.
39:28They do a lot.
39:29These talent managers,
39:31they help with casting and promotion.
39:33Oh, shut up.
39:34Casting and promotion.
39:35I can do all that.
39:36Don't you know?
39:37I already do that.
39:38I've worked hard promoting you.
39:39Our friends and relatives know you.
39:41And remember,
39:42when that reporter called,
39:43the interview?
39:44That's different.
39:45Oh, how is it different?
39:47You don't know anything.
39:48You're just a child.
39:49Better not talk to you about this.
39:50Eat your food, eat your food.
39:51Eat your food.
39:52You like beef, right?
39:53Here you go.
39:59I've been thinking about it.
40:00You probably did something wrong.
40:04From my professional point of view,
40:06you failed that training in Beijing
40:07because you didn't act well.
40:09You didn't shine.
40:10You didn't give it your all.
40:11You were lifeless.
40:12You have to exaggerate your acting.
40:14You understand?
40:15Your acting's bland and boring.
40:16You need to make it obvious.
40:19All right, all right, enough.
40:20Don't cry, don't cry.
40:21Here, it's all my fault.
40:23Come on, have some soup.
40:24That's enough.
40:25Eat your beef, come on.
40:26Come on.
40:49Look at you, you're all alone.
40:53Don't be upset.
40:54She's just trying to rile you up.
40:56Today, I'm in the mood for hotpot.
40:58Wanna come with us?
41:00Come on,
41:01we know a place with the best hotpot in town.
41:08Seriously?
41:10All right.
41:12I'm coming.
41:13You're paying anyway.
41:14Did you know that she ate all my chocolates?
41:16So it's payback time.
41:17Let's go.
41:19Wait up.
41:21Li Zhenzhen.
41:25Why are you smiling?
41:30When I was at my lowest point,
41:32that's when you took me in, supported me.
41:35I'm thankful for what you did.
41:37But at the same time,
41:38this kind of support scares me.
41:41Every time I don't get a call back,
41:43you rush in with words of comfort
41:45and all the support I'd need.
41:47Somehow that makes me feel like,
41:49like I'm useless, I'm good for nothing.
41:52I feel so insignificant.
41:54All my hard work qualifies for nothing.
41:59Will you feel better if we don't show her support?
42:02When successful people get spat on,
42:04that's still somewhat a compliment.
42:06But for a loser,
42:08applause feels more like a slap in the face.
42:11The more you encourage me,
42:12the more I feel like I'm just being patronized.
42:24You treat me like I'm everything to you.
42:31One becomes bigger,
42:35the other becomes smaller.
42:38Time lets us meet again.
42:46Goodbye, goodbye, my children.
42:52Maybe you'll leave here.
42:56Maybe the way home will be longer and longer.
43:01Walk slowly, don't look back.
43:08I'll stay here
43:12and look at your back.
43:22I miss the old house you used to live in.
43:30One day you look for a new start.
43:37It's like a leaf
43:41flying to a faraway tree branch.
43:45Those years are like yesterday.
43:52Goodbye, goodbye, my children.
43:59Maybe you'll leave here.
44:03Maybe the way home will be longer and longer.
44:08Walk slowly, don't look back.
44:15I'll stay here
44:22and watch you fly away.
44:45music fades out
