Pleasantly Surprised (Love Myself or You / Xi Huan · Yi Ge Ren / 喜歡·一個人)

Don't worry, I will never let you get kicked out of the restaurant.

After today, it won't be far from the final prize.

Hopefully, we can all reach the finals.

This dish not only tastes good and looks good, but is also very fun.

Pairing caviar with gold leaf...

Perfect.

Congratulation to you guys on getting into the finals.

We have to start thinking up the menu for the finals competition.

Uncle Shun's Cherry Valley ducks are the enhanced version.

Hence, his ducks are excellent.

Young man, if you look at a woman this way,

you'll look like a pervert.

If you like her, just tell her.

Don't treat me as that girl whom you want to take care of but you can't, okay?

You are really a fool.

What?

I'm happy because Kai Qi is willing to open her heart

and she is becoming more like her old self, right?

Are Auntie and Uncle a couple?

It can't be the kind of attraction between men and women, right?

Little brother! - Both of our restaurant's chefs

made it to the Rising Star finals.

I'd like to invite everyone for a meal at our house.

I sleep alone,

because

I like to be by myself.

Love Myself Or You

The thyme smells wonderful.

This is a roasted chicken with thyme and black pepper, right out of the oven.

I'm using the chicken fat to stir-fry onion and make gravy.

It'll be good after adding two spoons of all-purpose flour.

Bravo!

Here.

How did you know where the flour was?

I thought that these kind of kitchen stuffs are usually

placed in similar kind of places. I'm just guessing.

Not bad, young man.

Paying attention to details, you've a bright future ahead.

Thank you Chairman, thank you.

You little brat, you're pretty fast at picking things up. (Meaning he's fast to get on Chairman's good side)

Initially I thought you came to help me,

but it turns out that you're trying to please the Chairman.

Chairman, you need to cut this apple right? I'll help.

Then, just cut it into slices. - Okay.

Then, I'll help too.

You guys don't have to do these things.

There are so many chefs in the kitchen, it's too packed.

Girls, come to sit with me in the living room.

Little brother, help us pour some water.

Yes. - Okay.

She's calling me.

Oh right! I haven't asked what's your name?

Hello, I'm Cheng Le-Xuan, the sous chef of the restaurant.

Hello!

Do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Here comes the dish.

Thank you, you should sit down.

Okay.

Then...

Do you know that I'm the most envious of girls who can become chefs?

Like me, I know nothing about cooking.

How is it?

Do you guys find the job tiring in the restaurant?

It's not tiring.

Then... this time, you passed the preliminary round of the competition...

Is your family happy for you?

I didn't have the chance to tell them yet.

This Du Kai Qi is so bad at conversations.

Madam.

Kai Qi is the second chef in our restaurant.

She's usually very busy,

so maybe because of that, she haven't had the chance to tell her family yet.

Kai Qi's cooking skills is excellent.

She's the chef that worked for the longest time in our restaurant. Right?

Right, I've worked at the restaurant for six years.

Oh.

Actually,

Here's the dishes!

Thank you.

Come! Try my cooking skills.

Uncle, what kind of sauce is this?

It is the béarnaise sauce.

It's so delicious.

Is that so delicious?

Really delicious, the most delicious in the whole world!

This is expected from the Chairman. (Meaning that he lives up to his title.)

It's so delicious!

My dear wife,

I'm still great at this age.

She's just making a polite remark.

Look, Kai Qi haven't even start eating yet.

What's wrong?

You don't like the taste?

Huh?

It's not like that.

She just like to admire it first before trying it out.

Mmm

This dish still taste exactly the same with the taste on that year.

Delicious.

You've eaten my dish before?

Don't know whether Chairman and Madam...

still remember...

The nanny that used to work in your house, Zhang Qian Lan?

Are you talking about Mrs. Du?

I'm her daughter.

You're that little Kai Qi from the past?

Now, you're all grown up.

Long time no see!

Why didn't you tell me that you worked at our restaurant?

Right! You should have tell us earlier.

So it's easier for us to tell others to take care of you.

I want to use my own abilities to make some achievement

and then, I'll come to find boss.

It's good for young people to have a backbone,

but don't be too pressured because of your pride.

Don't worry.

Kai Qi likes to rely on her own.

She likes to be by herself.

Didn't I tell you not to be impolite in front of the Chairman and Madam?

Apologize quickly!

Apologize!

Chairman and Madam, I'm really sorry.

It's fine.

Come, eat! Please help yourself.

Kai Qi, if you have time,

you should come visit us more often.

Okay, I will definitely do that.

Didn't know that Du Kai Qi had this kind of relationship with the Chairman's family.

Since I offended her before, does that mean that I'm in trouble?

So what if you're acquainted with the Chairman?

Since we're going to compete fairly, let the results of the competition prove the skills.

Eat more.

Oh right! Come, we haven't had our toast yet.

Let's toast!

I welcome you all.

Thank you Madam.

Thank you Chairman.

Chairman, let me do it.

Little brother.

Do you want to date?

Mom, aren't you being too straight forward?

We are mother and son.

Why should I beat around the bush?

That's true.

Even with strangers, mom is so straight forward with them,

why should you beat around the bush with me, your son.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

You ask every girls that come to our house this question.

You're making me look like that nobody wants me.

No.

Look at Kai Qi and Le Xuan.

They are so young and pretty.

If you can like one of the girls from Taiwan,

then you can stay in Taiwan.

then I can often see you.

Dear mother,

I‘m really not thinking about dating now.

I only want to safely get through today.

Please, please. Please?

Come.

Be careful.

Please.

Young Master.

Tomorrow is the competition, with such little time left,

how are the preparations going for you guys?

Chairman, for the reputation of Figaro Cuisine,

I'll be the one to protect it!

Hey, Zi Xiang is back.

Zi Xiang, you're back so early today.

There's guests in the house?

They are the chefs of dad's restaurant.

I invited them to eat.

This is the Executive Chef.

Ji Yong Qian.

Hello. -Hello.

This is the Sous Chef.

Hello. I'm Cheng Le Xuan.

He is...

Hello. I'm the intern, Ah Jie.

Intern?

That's terrific.

Congratulations, it's not simple.

Zi Xiang, do you remember

The Mrs. Du who was our nanny for a while?

This is her daughter, Kai Qi.

When you were little, you guys would often play together.

Now she works at our restaurant and is the sous chef.

I remember. You were always closer to my little brother.

Often play hide and seek together.

Young Master, what are you doing in here?

Nothing.

If it's nothing then come out.

Brother will be angry if I go out.

It's already getting late.

Shouldn't we go back and prepare for the service tonight?

That's good.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
