Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

Open the door for some fresh air.

- Guan Guan, my dear! - Xiao Xiao.

What do I do?

I haven't left yet and I already miss you.

I don't want to leave you.

Don't lie. I don't believe you're missing me right now.

I am sincere, yet you don't believe me.

Who do you take me for?

Lower your voice. My mom is inside.

Your mom is inside?

Hello, Auntie!

- Happy holidays. - Happy holidays.

Your mom looks so young.

- Andie. - Hi.

How come you're carrying such a big satchel?

Where are you going?

She's eloping with VP Bao.

And you? You're not eloping with Dr. Zhao?

I'm eloping with myself.

His parents are in town and want to see me.

I haven't yet learned how to walk the catwalk. Why would I stay?

When I get back after the holidays, I'll learn it from you.

I'm leaving now.

- Don't miss me. - Bye.

- Bye! - Bye, Andie. Bye, Xiao Xiao.

Andie, I'm actually quite surprised VP Bao takes a liking to you.

The two of you alone in the middle of the wilderness...

You have to have protection ready.

How long are you going to hide?

The monk can run, but the temple can't hide.

This monk is going to collect alms.

I'm visiting GI Headquarters

as well as looking up businesses I've contacted before

to see if they would like to collaborate.

It's different from your sightseeing.

Not bad. You're very hardworking.

In that case, I should send a message to Dr. Zhao

- and say you're running off. - You'd better not!

He knows.

A young and promising orthopedics surgeon has an obligation to work more overtime

so the old guys with families can rest.

If you're on his side now, you'll have to stab yourself three times to atone.

What are you laughing about?

I'm just laughing foolishly.

It's like every time I see you, you're so happy.

Yes, because I see you.

- So where are you taking me? - You'll know when we get there.

But we may have to stay overnight on the way.

- Is it far? - Not really.

- Hello? - Hello, Andie?

- Did you send it? - Send what?

The message to Dr. Zhao that I'm running away.

Did you send it?

- I sent it. - You really did?

Really?

What do I do?

You really believed it?

Hey. You've gone too far.

You'll scare me to death.

Who told you to always mess with us?

So this is called...

Giving you a taste of your own medicine.

- Giving you a taste of your... - Own medicine.

Listen up.

You'd better not alert him before I get on the plane.

That egomaniac already planned out my Labor Day holiday.

I'd have to go out for dinner and see his parents nearly every day.

I'm not going to do that.

Why are you so afraid of meeting his parents?

Give me a year for self-improvement before I meet them.

They're all intellectual elites.

One is a professor and the other is an engineer.

It's frightening.

Although you're not highly intellectual

you're plenty learned in urban culture.

You can entertain them.

Only you would think that.

The elite are very demanding of daughter-in-laws.

I have confidence in my career.

It would've been fine if it was anybody else.

But with Dr. Zhao, I don't dare to risk our relationship.

I know you really care about him but you don't need to be so nervous.

It's all because I pursued him.

Anyway, I'm going to come up with an emergency excuse after I land.

- Why don't you just tell the truth? - What is telling the truth?

I've never done that before.

Andie, I have an image to maintain in front of certain people.

It's not much, but it mustn't be ruined.

I've already told you.

Don't forget. You hear me?

I know. Don't worry.

- I'm hanging up now. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

The world has changed.

Qu Xiao Xiao was afraid I alerted Dr. Zhao

so she called to check.

Perhaps every person has a weakness.

Like me, for example.

All right, you can take him back to his room.

The surgery was 2 hours and 48 minutes long.

Review this. Please sign if there are no problems.

- Hello? - Hello, Flirty Zhao?

- What are you doing? - I'm so sorry.

I've had surgery after surgery today. I haven't had time to call you.

I'm picking up my parents tomorrow morning.

You can meet them at dinner.

Sorry, Flirty Zhao. I may have to bail on you.

I'm already at the airport. I'm about to go abroad.

Why are you suddenly heading abroad?

It's an urgent summoning from GI Group Headquarters.

I can't do anything about it.

I am their agent.

There aren't any long holidays in Germany either.

I feel so guilty.

Help me tell Auntie and Uncle that I'm sorry.

All right. When will you be back?

It'll be after the Labor Day holiday.

I'll meet Auntie and Uncle when I have time after I get back. Okay?

As a doctor, I can't always do as I like.

Who knew you'd have the same problem.

All right, be safe.

Let me know when you land.

- Bye. - Bye.

Mom.

How much of Dad's medicine is left?

The medicine from before has increased in price.

We only have enough to last until mid-month.

I'll ask my pharmacy friend to see how much it costs now.

I'll put the money in the account.

All right.

How come there's nothing in the refrigerator?

Mom.

Go buy some meat and vegetables.

We have young and elderly in the family. They can't go hungry.

Don't think of lending it to my brother and sister-in-law.

Ying Qin is worth waiting for!

You like Dvořák?

You have good taste.

A gentleman doesn't seize what another likes.

I'll let the lady have this.

- Hello? - Guan Guan.

Where have you run off to?

Didn't we say we're going to buy clothes with your father this afternoon?

Mom, I already said I don't need more clothes.

It's not whether you need them or not.

You're an official employee now.

Your clothes are too casual.

We need to get you some proper clothes that can go with a suit.

Hurry on back home.

All right. I'm coming home now.

Bye, Mom.

Something you like.

Aren't we having Western cuisine?

How come there are xiao long bao?

Is there a law that says

we can't have crab meat xiao long bao with Western cuisine?

We're far from the city. It's not easy to find crab meat xiao long bao.

It should be your favorite.

How did you know I like them?

The first time I saw you, I knew you like bao zi. (steamed buns)

Try it.

What do you think?

It's quite good.

And I also wish you a happy birthday.

The date on your passport should be your birthdate.

A little surprise.

Actually, today isn't my birthday.

It's the day I went to the orphanage.

As well as the anniversary of the my birth mother's death.

On a memorial day, you should be visiting the grave and placing offerings.

I don't know much about that. Let me look it up online.

No need to.

The best memorial is by keeping her in my heart.

Thank you.

- Here, here. - Let's drink.

Dad, Mom, I wish you good health.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I wish you a long life.

I wish you grow to be even older.

I wish you have many more happy returns of the day.

Happy birthday, Great-grandfather!

Good, good!

I will listen to you. I'll work hard to grow even older and better.

Grandfather, it's your 80th birthday today.

It's said men seldom live to be 70.

You have always been healthy.

That is our greatest fortune as your grandchildren.

Grandfather, I don't have a way with words.

I'll just wish you health and happiness, abundance and longevity.

- Well said. - Wonderful.

It'll be thanks to Xiao Chuan lucky speech.

- Here, drink. - Cheers, cheers.

Mom, I'm going to take a work call.

- I'm going to step out for a bit. - Brat, you better be quick.

Grandfather, you eat first.

I'm going to take a call.

Hello, CEO Qu. Did you need something?

Bai Chuan, I'm at GI Headquarters right now.

No way. Again?

What do you mean again?
