The Pursuit of Happiness on VIKI

Every door has a lock.

Every lock has the right key.

Her key has come.

But I can't even find the chain to my lock.

You have company.

Hi! -Wei Ting!

Sorry, am I interrupting you guys?

This isn't the first time you've met me. He's just a very temporary roommate.

Yeah, a temporary roommate.

Do you want a piece? - No, thanks.

Why did you suddenly come visit me?

Sister Ji An. I need you right now.

I'll go back to my room.

No... No you don't have to.

I'll get my coat, we can talk outside.

Wait a moment.

She'll be quick.

There's something that I can only tell you.

You can only tell me?

Do you know that sentence has a lot of meaning?

Ok, I know I have been really selfish.

But I really don't know who I should talk to.

I'll be willing to listen.

I'm really willing to.

Whether it's a big or small problem, bad news or good news.

Or if it's something you're not able to tell others, I'm still willing to listen.

I guess I really need a person to open up my heart.

Why aren't I going back to New Zealand?

But if I'm like this, I can finally relax.

You know how wonderful chemistry between two people is.

This person is who I really love.

If a daisy can grow out from you,

this means I still have hope.

Then is the key in my hands?

Who else is able to get you to open your heart up?

Episode 3

That guy...

Is he really your roommate?

Yeah. Why?

Nothing. That's good to know.

What do you mean it's good?

Did you know, when I came to your place.

I thought you would be the person to open the door.

But when the door opened, a guy wearing lounge clothes was standing there.

You know, in my mind I was thinking, Oh no, it's over.

My Sister An Lei has found a boyfriend.

Oh no...

What are you laughing at?

You don't understand. If you really do have a boyfriend.

Then I don't have a way to be the person I am now.

It doesn't matter if I'm overseas or if it's the middle of the night,

If I want to look for you, then I can. If I want to phone you, I could do that too.

Your boyfriend would probably not agree with that.

You're so contradictory.

A few days ago, didn't you say you'd like me to find my happiness soon?

And now you're saying that if I had a boyfriend, you'd be doomed.

I don't know either.

It's probably because I don't like unforeseen circumstances.

Just like tonight, it was totally unexpected for me.

What happened this morning?

Director Shen... He...

Director Shen doesn't like me.

He finds me lacking. The only thing that he didn't do was to chase me out.

Director Shen isn't a bad person, he's just more defensive on matters of the heart.

Are you comforting me now?

I'm using facts to comfort you.

I have been working under him for ten years.

From the start, he will treat everyone as the bad guys.

He will treat everyone as someone with personal requests or hidden agendas.

Until you continue to prove that you're a good person,

and that's when he'll open his heart to you.

Is that so?

Furthermore, Shen Hai Lun is his precious pearl.

He sent her overseas to study and it wasn't easy for him to get her to succeed his company.

If you want to date her, you must get through his fort.

So what you mean is...

there is still hope for me to break through his fort?

To win his favor?

I should look for a stable and run-of-the-mill job now.

But you don't like those with rules...

Maybe.

For Hai Lun, I'm willing to settle down with her.

Then have a family together.

So these things...

Sarcrifices... Changes...

It doesn't really matter to me.

That big of a change doesn't matter to you?

Can you please give her up?

You are such a free spirited person.

Don't you only treat the work you enjoy with such enthusiasm?

Why do you do all this just for her? Why are you making such a big sacrifice?

You deserve a better person, you deserve a person who understands you!

Do you not think that...

The way you're saying it, it's really not like you at all.

That was the past.

Before, I was single, of course I could still do those things.

But right now, I have Hai Lun.

We can't only consider what we'd like for ourselves.

Why don't you think on my behalf?

What am I going to do if you resign?

I'm very happy with my situation now!

I like to accept assignments. I don't like to work in a big company!

What's wrong with a stable job?

Are you complaining? Are you blaming me?

When we decided to be together, I was already like this!

So you insist that you will not change just a bit?

Why can't you change a little for the sake of our future?

That is your future, not mine!

He Wei Ting!

Ji An Lei, listen.

What I'm sure about the future is that I won't be changing myself for someone else.

You and I will never be happy.

Do you remember?

That was something you couldn't do for me.

Years later.

you were willing to give all that up for another woman.

Ji An Lei.

Are you able to do this?

So what if I'm willing?

Given the time of two to three days, it should be fine. Will it be on time?

It will be on time.

Thank you. It would be helpful to have your help.

If I can help, that's great.

Hai Lun.

Don't tell me...

This is for you.

Your favourite ice cream.

You still remember!

This is your dorm?

I rented a room from my landlord.

So, that means you are going to stay?

Yeah.

Did you find a job yet?

I'm taking it slow.

Do you want to come in?

No thanks, I don't want to bother your landlady.

No you won't, she's not here today.

That's okay, it's getting late. Anyway, so you're staying.

So in the future, we'll have more chances to meet up.

Yeah... -Then I will leave first.

I'll drop you off at the door. -Okay.

Bye bye.

Wait for me! I can't handle this!

I feel that I have already finished my one week's quota of exercises.

Can't you see all those longing eyes waiting for me to continue?

I definitely can't stop now.

We're doing this to burn some fat, not for men to watch.

Let me tell you, men's eyes are the most honest.

In their eyes, I can see my own charm.

I find the motivation to keep running.

Do you guys ever feel, you know, the energy to communicate with others?

I don't even have time to see other people.

It's true.

We ran so much, I'm dying.

You both don't even have a bit of feminine self awareness.

Even when I'm not exercising, I don't want people watching me.

I'm sweating so much, I don't want people watching me either.

Please, can the two of you just live in the moment?

Look, this road has so many people. Yet, they have only came to your line of sight a second ago.

In the next second, they'll disappear in the sea of people.

So please treasure the spark that strangers give you, okay?

I'm too strong.

Sorry about that.

No worries.

See?

See, this is life.

Feel of admiration from others and at the same time, admire others as well.

For example, I believe Huang Yi Kang is a dish worth admiring.

About Huang Yi Kang...

Yesterday night, I found out something about him.

What?

I realized.

It looks like Hai Lun is the girl that Huang Yi Kang likes.

So, the Little Princess is Huang Yi Kang's secret ideal woman?

It's weird. Why do all the men around Lei Lei have this shadow of the Princess around them?

What do you mean by the men around me?

Me housing Huang Yi Kang is like offering asylum, it's limited to two weeks.

He has nothing to do with me.

As for He Wei Ting...

Whether or not he and Shen Hai Lun work out,

I don't want to play a supporting character in his life anymore.

Hence, it has nothing to do with me.

Is this for real?

Can you really give up on He Wei Ting?

He already has a girl friend. Don't tell me I won't let him get married?

No one is stopping anyone.

I just don't want to see you faking that you're cool and fine with things.

Are you busy right now?

What a coincidence.

I was about to call you too.

Really?

Do you have time today?

Today?

Yeah.

Uh... I'll give you five minutes.

Only five minutes?
