The first 200 lines.
A Si, how is your life in London?/ Boring.
Impossible. The amount of pretty women there can circle the earth twice.
I haven't seen one at all./ You won't be able to adapt if you keep up that behavior.
Just come home. We're short of a Bridge player.
Now you know how important I am, right?/ You've always been important.
We haven't found a more peaceful place with better amenities than your house.
You guys are too materialistic./ Dao Ming-si, this is your only capability.
Stop speaking nonsense! Where's Lei?/ Lei, A Si wants to talk to you.
What do you want?/ What do I want what? Explain! Why am I the one who Shan-cai likes?
Don't you get it?/ If I do, I wouldn't be asking you.
Then come home, so you can find out by yourself.
Have you seen her lately? How is she doing?
I hardly see her. When I see Qing-he,
...he said when Shan-cai's not in class, she's working.
Don't you remember?/ Have you forgotten who I am?
I just saw Shan-cai./ Where? Now? Let me see.
Grandma, this is the list of spices that I want to buy. Please help me.
Ok, let me take a look.
Grandma, why this ID is here?
A girl left it here because she didn't have enough money to buy Kamio leaves.
Do you know her?/ She's an assistant cook in our restaurant.
So you're the friend who's taking the cooking exam.
In a hurry to buy your Kamio leaves, she got hurt.
Tian Ye, why are you still here?/ This is yours.
Why do you have it?/ Why were you so careless?
Even if have to hurry to buy the Kamio leaves,
...you should also watch out for your own safety.
If I had known this, I would rather take the exam next year.
It's ok. It doesn't hurt at all.
Alright. This is my fault.
I've ruined the dish, and I'm scolding you too.
But Shan-cai, I really would like to thank you.
Let me treat you to dinner./ Ok.
Congratulations Tian Ye for your promotion to main chef. Cheers./ Cheers.
Why do you look happier than me?/ Of course I'm happy.
Your parents must be very happy to have a son who can cook so well.
My Mom died when I was still little.
My Dad doesn't approve of me being a cook.
Why?/ I know he has his own reasons.
But I won't give up easily for something that I love to do.
If that was me, I'd do the same thing./ What type of life do you like?
I like the simple way of life, and to be able to live my dream.
And by working hard it will make the people around us happy.
Shan-cai, I feel that we're very similar and fated to meet.
We're similar?
You mean that we're both frugal and can work hard?
We're both people who live to fight against reality.
I really hope to be brave like you./ You will succeed.
Ok. My house is over there.
Let me walk you to the door./ It's ok. I can walk by myself.
Shan-cai, I don't care what happens later,
...I hope that you'll always be by my side while I'm cooking.
I'm your assistant in the kitchen. Don't worry. I don't change jobs easily.
That's not what I meant. What I mean to say is.../ What he wants to say is...
He wants you to be his girlfriend, not his assistant.
Dao Ming-si, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in London?
Because I was in London, you've started dating this liar.
What are you talking about? What liar?
He's lied to you from the beginning.
He's the heir to the Tian Family Chinese Pharmacy,
...why is he pretending to be poor by working here?
Impossible./ You're defending a liar.
He can't even be honest. How can he expect you to be his girlfriend.
Maybe you're mistaken./ I'm not mistaken. You've been lied to.
Tian Ye, is that photo really you?
Shan-cai, listen to me./ You're clearly from a rich family.
And you talk about how we're people fighting against reality. Do you think i'm a dumb?
It's not like that, Shan-cai. What I meant was my rebellion against my family.
I really respect you as a co-worker.
It's actually not a problem whether or not you told me the truth.
I just feel that you don't truly think of me as a friend.
That's not true, Shan-cai. Let me explain.
Hey! You're so noisy. Shan-cai. Shan-cai. Are you a recording machine?
I'm going home.
You're so dumb! As soon as I'm gone, you get tricked so easily by other guys.
Why do you trust people so easily?
I was born that way, what of it?/ That's why I said you're dumb.
I'm dumb? Don't you be pretentious. You think that you're so smart.
If it weren't for me, he would have kept lying to you.
Fine. Even if I'm lied to, that's my business. Can you stop caring about me?
No, I can't. What do you mean by it's your own business if you're lied to?
Why not? Wasn't it your plan to move to London and never return?
So what is it that you want now?
I...can't I miss my country, my friends and my home?
Dao Ming-si, you're here? Shan-cai and I miss you so much.
Who misses him?
Why have you come to our home?
Weren't you the one who opened the door for me?/ I...
This girl. Why are you so rude? It's ok if your friend wants to come over.
Dao Ming-si, welcome. It's been a long time.
How are you, Aunty?
You look kinda pale. Do you feel well?
I just got back from London. I'm still jet lagged.
London? Coming back from such a far place. You must have suffered.
Come over here quickly...sit down for a while. Sit and rest a bit.
You bad girl, why are you just standing there?
If you don't make tea, cut up some fruit, will you?
I'm going to get some medicated oil for you. You sit down and rest for a while, ok.
So you were overseas. I feel better now.
I thought you and Shan-cai had a fight. You're both ok now?
Mom! What're you saying?
Fine...I won't ask about your business anymore. I'll ask about something else.
Dao Ming-si, what kind of profession do you like?
My wife, why are you asking so many questions?
Why can't I ask? Dao Ming-si rarely comes over.
Why did you go to London?/ To explore.
Explore? Where did you go to explore?/ In my house.
In your house?
My wife, it's late now. I see Dao Ming-si keep yawning.
Maybe he wants to rest./ Are you sleepy? Want to rest?
I really want to lie down on a bed.
Sleep at our house then./ Ok.
You...
Move over. Your bed's over there.
Go over there.
Weird, why are you sleeping in my room?/ Because you have to take care of me.
What if I want to drink water in the middle of the night?/ I'm not your caretaker.
What are you laughing about? It's all because your Dad's legs are too short.
Just think of it as wearing cropped pants.
No choice. My handsome self has to suffer.
I think the one Shan-cai really likes is you.
Shan-cai./ What do you want? Let me remind you. My parents are next door.
Don't try anything./ Oh please. I'm the one who's scared you'll do something to me.
If I hadn't come home, you wouldn't have known how much Tian Ye has lied to you.
You didn't come back just to expose Tian Ye's identity, right?
No. I'm not that bored.
Did you both go on a date today?
You're nosier than my Mom./ Or have you already held hands?
Have you kissed?/ No, we haven't.
Is that the truth?/ You don't have to believe me.
How have your days been these last few days?
What do you think of me not being around?
What do you mean, what do I think?
Did you feel free or a little bit lonely?
Forget it. I don't care what you think. I 'm going to sleep.
Good night.
Why didn't you knock on the door?/ Sorry./ Why aren't you wearing clothes?
My clothes from yesterday are dirty./ I'll go get my Dad's clothes for you to wear.
Don't. Your Dad's clothes aren't my style, I'm scared it won't suit me.
You can't stay naked./ What's wrong with being naked?
Not just anyone is allowed to see my muscles./ It's obvious you don't have any muscles.
Come here. Come and take a closer look. This is muscle isn't it?/ You...
Sorry to interrupt you guys. It's great being young.
Get out.
Close the door.
Isn't that Dao Ming-si?/ Yes, it's him./ You.../ Didn't he go to London?
Didn't you go to London?/ I've taken a few days off, do I need to report to you?
Plus I was worried that this dumb can't stand to be away from me so I came back.
Who can't stay away from you?
I slept with Shan-cai last night./ What? You slept with Shan-cai?
No. My Mom insisted that he slept over last night.
Aunty gave her permission? Your relationship is moving too fast.
Li Zhen, let's go.
Zhao Yue./ Here.
Liu Bo-zhen./ Here.
Jin Mian-qiao./ Here.
Zhang Chi./ Here.
Chen Qing-he.
Qing-he./ Chen Qing-he's absent?
Yang Yang./ Here.
The professor called your name. What are you doing?
Li Zhen./ Here.
Zhao Bo-wen./ Here.
Huang Meng-tian./ Here.
Zhang Ya-wen./ Here.
Xi-men, where did the three of you go?/ A Si, we went to London to see you.
We just got off the plane. Where are you?/ What? I'm back in Shanghai. Come back here!
We can't. Because of you, we have enrolled in school here.
The tuition's been paid./ I don't care. Come back now.
Can't. Lei said if you won't talk to him, he won't come back.
Who said I won't talk to him. That's alot I want to say to him now.
Tell Lei to come back!/ What do you want to talk to me about?
You guys tricked me.
So what do you want to talk to me about?
Lei, the problem in the past...
Which one?
About the Spiderman toy./ I don't mind.
But you do owe me a formal apology.
A Si, I think of you as my best friend.
But you really must apologize to Lei on this matter.
I'm going to record every moment of Dao Ming-si's apology./ Go away.
Lei, the thing with Spiderman and sending you away, was all my fault.
I'm formally apologizing to you..
He's bowing./ What are you doing? I haven't died.
This is priceless.
Wait, I'm going to send it to friends. It's going to be big news./ Don't you dare.
Stand up. I will formally apologize to you.
That's good./ Don't you go too far with this.
Come on, erase everything./ I don't want to.
Qing-he, what are you doing? You're not paying attention in class, you brood all day.
Why can't I compare to Dao Ming-si? What's wrong with me?
Shan-cai's parents said we are matching couple.
A good mixture of veggies makes the dish look pretty and nutritious.
Why do they think of someone else as their son-in-law?
I feel like an empty battery, a burst balloon, and a dry cactus.
My world is dark.
I'm going to die soon.
Do you know what is it about you that can't compare to Dao Ming-si?
It's your gloomy face.
That's true, gotta make sure Dao Ming-si doesn't see my face like this.
