In A Good Way (Wo Men De Zi You Nian Dai / 我的自由年代)

If it really is a treasure map,

then it must be connected to your grandfather and probably has an important meaning.

I really want to find out the secret of it with you.

Lin Jia En

Will you be my girlfriend?

When did you start liking me?

Love at the fist sight, plus love grew over time

Look at you. You can't stop smiling.

Are you dating Liu Chuan?

Is it that obvious?

I used to see Jia En as a little sister.

No matter what I did, Jia En always idolized me.

Since Liu Chuan appeared,

I became a loser.

Bowling is your specialty,

I've never seen you threw a gutter ball before.

Oh! You must've started liking someone and didn't tell me.

Who is the lucky girl this time?

Is it that you don't want a little sister to grow up...?

Hug me.

Or do you have special feelings for her?

I don't know.

We once searched for that Freedom, In that Generation.

In A Good Way Episode 16

Jia En!

How is it?

It really hurts.

Let me see it.

You probably sprained your ankle. Let me massage it.

Bear with it.

It hurts!

Why weren't you careful?

It hurts.

Ok, I'll be gentle.

Subtitles brought to you by The Freedom Team @ Viki

Slowly. Careful.

Does your foot still hurt?

No.

It doesn't seem like a big injury.

If your foot still hurts tomorrow, I will take you (Jia En) to the hospital.

Uncle, Aunt, why are you both here?

To visit Taipei?

Jia En, this year's vacation is going to be very lively.

Ren Wei's parents are going to live at our house.

Really? That's great!

We haven't lived together for a long time.

As for the student who was massaging your foot,

who is he? I've never met him.

Uncle?

Uncle, Aunt, nice to meet you. It's our first time meeting.

My name is Liu Shan Feng. Junior year in the Law Department.

I'm the president of the club Jia En and Ren Wei are in.

Oh. Nice to meet you.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Zheng Ren Wei's father.

I'm also Jia En's future father-in-law.

Dad! Don't talk nonsense!

When did I talk nonsense?

You and Jia En grew up together.

You're boyfriend and girlfriend. Did I say something wrong?

Growing up together is different from being boyfriend and girlfriend, alright?

Me and Jia En are friends! Not boyfriend and girlfriend.

When did you see me and Jia En together?

Director Zheng.

You've been in Taipei so long, yet you can't protect Jia En, and you can't even get Jia En to be your girlfriend.

Even if you don't feel embarrassed, I feel ashamed for you.

Only people from the countryside,

will talk about future daughter-in-law this sort of thing!

In Taipei, I'm fighting for academic and career achievement.

I'm already doing a business.

I'm selling electronic chickens (Tamagotchi). I don't have time to chase after or be chased by girls.

You should feel proud of me!

You're doing business?

Instead of going home to work in our fish farm, you chose to sell chickens?

Now you can make big money?

Why do I have to spend money for you to attend college?

In the end I'm giving you money to let you have fun!

I don't need the allowance you give me.

From now on, I will earn money and take care of myself!

Hey! -Ren Wei, you can't talk to your dad like that.

From today on, I will earn my own money!

So you think your wings are strong now?

Do you think you can fly now by selling the electronic chickens?

I'm tired of explaining to you.

When I'm successful, you'll understand.

So I'm asking you not to give me any more allowance.

You can cut off all the financial support.

He said that to me?

How could he? It's too infuriating!

I don't need a son like you.

I can cut off our relationship, that's all fine with me.

But Jia En is my future daughter-in-law.

You'd better marry her and bring her home!

Uncle,

Dad!

Jia En's boyfriend is Liu Chuan!

When did you start dating Liu Chuan?

Dad...

Where are you going? - I'm getting some fresh air.

I'm going to check on Ren Wei.

What's wrong?

You've been weird lately.

What's the situation now?

Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm going to go check on those two.

About me and Jia En, I'll find a time and explain it to you.

Liu Chuan.

Liu Chuan, sorry.

My dad is really traditional.

Only a country bumpkin would believe in fated marriage.

Saying that Jia En is my future wife, everyday.

They don't understand what we want. Don't take it seriously.

Your Dad is not a country bumpkin.

Many parents expect their children to follow the path they arrange for them.

He's just straightforward.

I noticed,

you both are pretty similar.

How are we similar?

You both are very impulsive,

also direct and honest.

I actually envy the relationship between you and your dad.

You say whatever you want to say.

Impulsive? Direct and honest?

I am hot-blooded, and he is old and crazy.

Alright! Don't talk about your dad like that.

At least he said one right thing.

Jia En is a nice girl.

Okay. Don't comfort me.

He is part of the reason I escaped to Taipei.

You guys don't understand.

Liu Chuan, go home first.

Let them son and father spend some time together.

Both of them are very proud. With you here, they won't be able to make up.

Okay, I'll be going back.

Please send my best to your parents.

I'll see you off.

Bye Bye.

Zheng Ren Wei, what are you planning on to do now?

Rarely does your Dad come here, why do you have to make the situation so bad that you're going to cut off your relationship?

Lin Jia En, when did you start liking Liu Chuan?

Don't try to change the topic.

You Dad is here. Even if you have to pretend,

at least try to look like there is nothing they should be worrying about you.

You're already a college student.

Once you see your dad, you start arguing.

Zheng Ren Wei, when are you going to grow up?

Go inside.

Let's go!

Come, come!

Sleep here tonight!

Sorry, our house is not spacious enough.

What are you talking about? It's great!

Look at him. What kind of attitude is that?

I wonder if he has become a bad student.

Aiyo, it's not true.

Ren Wei does homework with classmates in the store all the time.

He's a good kid.

Good kid? Look at him,

that impulsive.

Unlike Jia En, so mature and pretty!

And found such a handsome boyfriend.

So dating means being mature?

Oh right. I didn't prepare Ren Wei's pillow and blanket,

I will go prepare it now.

Okay? Wait for me. -Okay, thank you!

Sorry to bother you! - Not at all.

I must have spoiled you.

You…? How come you still keep a pair of jeans that has holes?

Mom, you don't understand. This is the fashion.

So wearing tattered jeans is fashion? Don't you have enough money to buy a new pair?

If you run out of money, you should just say so.

Don't you feel embarrassed wearing tattered jeans like that?

Here. Use this to buy a new pair and keep the rest.

Mom, I don't need that much money for clothes. Keep it for yourself.

Don't pretend that you don't want it.

Since you and your Dad are so mad at each other

He won't give you money. Take the money first,

and buy pants. Save the rest.

I told you I don't need it. I need to learn to be an independent grown-up.

Zheng Ren Wei.

Your pillow and blanket.

My electronic chicken business will definitely go well.

It might even sponsor you and dad's trip to Taipei.

You're going to give us money?

Only when red rain comes down from the sky will that happen.

Ok. Let's go and have some tea.

I've had enough tea the whole evening. I want to rest now.

Then why don't we go and have a chat? We haven't seen them for such a long time.

Come on! Go! Ren Wei, don't make your dad worry about you.

Walk slowly.

Making such a big promise, are you sure you can sell them all?

I think you should return them.

There're only 800 of them. How hard can it be?

800? How much money did you spend?

I spent every penny I had.

Zhen Ren Wei, you're really... This is outrageous!

If I can't even sell these, then how can I do big things?

Don't worry. Once I earn money, you'll be the first that I take out to eat.

I don't think you see money as money.
