Episode 9 -

Thank you.

So the reason why you never responded to my texts was because Coach Wu took your phone?

Yeah. Coach Wu wanted me to concentrate on practice.

Thank goodness. I thought you were ignoring me because you were mad at me.

Why did you think that?

Because when our website put out that kind of article, it attracted a lot of attention

and affected you negatively. I would completely understand if you were mad at me.

What kind of logic is that? Do you not have any faith in me?

It's not that I don't have any faith in you, it just I don't have any faith in me.

You are an athlete. Being friends with a reporter is originally not a good thing.

I was worried that us being friends would make things difficult for you.

You helped me block so many negative articles. Your boss must have scolded you a lot for that.

I'm just doing what I think is right. Getting yelled by my boss is nothing.

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's nothing. Didn't I say already that I'm going to live with Cheng Mei. I'm just waiting for her call right now.

But what happens if she doesn't answer your call? Are you going to live out here for the night?

Probably not.

You don't need to worry about me. It's getting pretty late so you should go back and get some rest.

Follow me.

Come, come, come.

We're here.

This is...

Our male dorm.

I know. But why did you bring me here?

Didn't you have no place to stay for the night.

Don't tell me you're suggesting I stay here?

I am a girl. Staying at a male dorm isn't right.

It's fine. Our team thinks of all girls as guys.

No.

Stop playing and get some rest.

There's practice tomorrow morning. I'm going to come back and check later.

Let's go. It's fine.

Yes! Killed another boss.

Yibai, how did you end up bringing Sister Duo back here?

Ohh!

Yibai, do you need me to leave? Or maybe, I can put on a love song for you,

and prepare some candles and roses?

Ming Tian. - What are you saying right now?

I brought Yun Duo over because her landlord kicked her out and she has nowhere to stay.

So that's how it is. Yun Duo, make yourself at home.

Have a seat anywhere.

Your dorm room is really clean. I thought boys' dorms were all really messy.

That's because we have Yibai. In the male dormitory,

he was voted as the best roommate.

Best roommate?

He's a neat freak, so whenever he sees anything out of place, he goes to clean it up.

That's why everyone says, "In a home, it's essential to have Tang Yibai; the cockroaches and mice will say bye bye."

Get out of here.

It looks more like Tang Yibai is the best cleaner here.

Well, that's accurate.

Because Yibai is very clean in our dorm,

so we gave him the messiest person as his dorm mate.

Who is the messiest? -Who else can there be?

Who stole my clothes again? I have no clothes to wear now.

Who is it? What happened?

What happened?

What happened? -I think I heard someone scream.

Why would they scream for no reason? -Nothing, Nothing.

Let's go.

Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai!

What happened?

Why was there a girl's voice?

Coach Wu, it was Qi Ruifeng before.

Qi Ruifeng?

That's right. While he was showering, he saw a cockroach.

So he ended up screaming and running around, begging Brother Yibai to protect him. -Yep.

That's not right. Qi Ruifeng is a man, how can he scream like that.

Coach Wu, it really is Brother Feng.

His voice is gender neutral. It's hard to tell if it's from a guy or girl.

I've even misheard it a few times.

Yeah, yeah, yeah Coach. I'm really like that. Why don't you listen and see.

Yibai! There's a cockroach! I'm scared! Protect me!

Coach, see.

Then the other one?

The other one was Ming Tian.

Ming Tian? -He's right. It was me.

Before when Brother Feng came out, he also scared me.

So I just-

Okay, okay, okay.

Look at how late it is. Stop playing around.

Get some rest.

Yes Coach Wu.

Hurry, go lock the door.

Are you okay? -I couldn't breathe.

It's okay, it's okay.

Yun Duo, do you want to look some more?

Hurry up and put something on already.

Nowadays, even when you pay the rent for a room, you can still get kicked out.

Sister Duo. Your life is quite marvel.

Okay. Seeing that you and Brother Feng are best friends,

I'll accept you for the night!

Wait Ming Tian, is this your dorm?

Brother Feng, what's the difference between what's yours and what's mine?

No need. I'm going to stay for a little while. After my friend calls, I'll leave.

It's already so late, and there's still no news from her, she's probably asleep.

I think you shouldn't wait anymore, just stay here for the night.

How is that okay? -Tang Yibai,

I think you're a bit too direct. Keeping a girl in here isn't good, right?

I can't even bear to look anymore.

What nonsense are you guys saying?

Yun Duo is going to live here alone, I'm going with you guys.

What? Four people in 2 beds? How does that work?

With your sleeping posture, I don't even avoid you. What are you complaining for?

I'm going to sleep naked, do you want to sleep with me?

Ming Tian hurry up and bring him out.

Ming Tian. Don't you dare. -Hurry up! -You..!

I oppose. That's not-

You value your lover more than your friends! Tang Yibai I'm telling you! You little! Ming Tian!

Yun Duo, get some rest.

There are new bed and blanket covers over there, feel free to change them.

Okay.

He's too loud when he sleeps.

Good bye. -Good bye.

That's the situation.

So tonight, we're going to have to trouble you Lingye.

It's up to Ming Tian.

Lingye is trying to say that I'm his dorm mate,

so he wants us to decide together.

I think this is just small stuff so it's okay. Lingye shouldn't have any problems.

But...

But what?

Lingye is thinking about how us four are going to divide the bed.

This guy, he needs to think clearly about what he's saying before he speaks.

That's right.

But Ming Tian, are you Lingye's translator?

He only said 2 words, and you understand what he is trying to say?

No, Lingye is pretty clear on what he is trying to say.

How about this, Lingye

today you and I will share a bed. Ming Tian will sleep with Qi Ruifeng.

How about this. Ming Tian you sleep with me,

and Lingye, you sleep with Qi Ruifeng.

Brother Yibai, don't think that I don't know what you're planning.

That's right. Don't think of running away. We'll use rock-paper-scissors to decide.

Wait. What are you guys all doing?

You all don't want to sleep with me? Am I not your guys' best brother?

Fine. If you all don't want to sleep with me, then I'll go back and sleep naked.

I promise you. I'll share a bed with you.

That's better.

Okay, we arrived. Come in.

This is it.

You prepared all of this?

Yeah. What do you think?

Sit. Sit anywhere.

I'm going to put all of this in the kitchen.

You put so much effort in doing this for Yun Duo,

is it really only because you want to repay her?

Yeah. What else can there be?

Nothing, I'm just a little bit envious of Yun Duo.

With you being so considerate to her.

If I have someone like you by my side,

that's just as thoughtful, how great would that be?

Don't worry. As long as you help me,

I will definitely introduce you to a talented and caring boyfriend.

There's no need for that. I will take care of looking for a boyfriend on my own.

That being said, I helped you with all of this,

how are you going to return this kindness?

How do you want me to repay you?

I haven't thought of it. When I think of it I will tell you.

It's really good.

Why are you wearing an eye mask?

It's this. A steam eye mask.

It restores water and relieves fatigue.

It soothes and helps with sleep. In short,

It's great for you eyes. You can take a few and try them.

Thanks Brother Feng.

Ming Tian. I'm telling you. I am such a dignified person.

I am loved by all. When flowers see me, they bloom. And now, I've been degenerated.

I'm being crammed onto a bed with someone else.

My fate is so miserable. -So tragic.

Ming Tian! You drank my yogurt!

I'll return it. -Return it? You already drank it all!

I'll see if you still dare to drink it. -Brother Feng, I won't do it again! I won't do it again!

This Cheng Mei.. She won't won't pick up her phone or reply to my messages.

She didn't actually fall asleep right?

Yun Duo, it's me Tang Yibai.

Coming.

I forgot to tell you,

In the washroom left cabinet, there are new toiletry products you can use.

Thank you.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I just have insomnia, so I can't sleep. What about you?

I was thinking about where I should stay tomorrow, so I couldn't fall asleep.

Since we both can't fall asleep..

How about I bring you to the place I always go to? Let's go!

Every time I can't fall asleep, I would come here.

Listening to music while staring blankly at the stars.

You also have times when you can't fall sleep？

Sometimes, before a competition or a test, you're bound to be under pressure.

I don't think I've asked you this before. Back then, why did you start swimming?

It's really simple. I just like the feeling of swimming.

In the water, I can't hear anything else above.

I feel like I'm in another world.

I don't need to speak, and I don't need to care about what others think of me.

I always think that living in water,

rather than land is much more simpler and easier.

Indeed. Problems on land are so annoying.
