Episode 12-

Mrs.Tang, hold on a second. I just found Yibai.

Yibai, Yibai.

What's wrong, coach? -Your mom's calling you.

Hi mom, what's the emergency?

Well the thing is about the new tenant.

That little girl. I think she's good fit for you.

I want to introduce you two to each other.

Mom, I'm hanging up. I just finish training and feel exhausted.

I'm going back to dorm and will call you back soon. -Wait. Wait.

You...

So what's going on?

Well...

Hello Aunt Lu?

Yes, it's me.

Let me ask you something. Is my ungrateful son right by your side?

Yes, he's right next to me.

Good. Put me on speaker and I need to talk to him.

Sure. No problem.

Aunt Lu

Your mom.

Tang Yibai, you're such an ungrateful son.

You think you can just hang up on me whenever you want?

I'm trying to introduce this nice girl to you.

For real., she has great personality.

Very lovable, hardworking and knowing how to cook.

It's very hard to find a girl like this nowadays.

Do you understand it or not?

Mom, stop right there.

Give me your phone.

QQ, don't your phone to him.

If you do, he will surely hang up on me again.

Got it aunt. I won't let that happen. Don't worry.

Tang Yibai, can you just come back home for dinner?

Just dinner!

During dinner, I will introduce her to you.

Mom, stop it. I have training tomorrow. I can't make it.

Tang Yibai, I'm telling you right now. Don't play the training card on me.

How many time have you used that as excuses?

Coach Wu is right here with me. If you don't believe me, go head and ask him.

Yes... -Coah Wu, don't I have a very important training to attend tomorrow night?

Mrs.Tang, it is true. The competition is coming up,

so the whole swim team is training very hard to get ready.

Coach Wu?

You have successfully stolen my son from me.

365 days a year. I barely see him. Do you know that?

Right now, all I want is to have him come back home and have dinner with his mom.

It's not too much to ask, don't you think?

I'm telling you if you're not helping me on this...

and I end up missing this great daughter-in-law, I will come after you.

I will surely hold you accountable.

Mrs.Tang, you made your point.

I will sent Tang Yibai home as soon as the training is finished tomorrow night.

Coach Wu! -Alright, bye bye.

Just go and play along with her.

Whatever. I'm not going tomorrow for sure.

Coach?

Come in.

Coach...

What's going on? Go ahead.

Can I trouble you for something?

I hope one day...

he can fall in love with a girl...

so he knows what it takes to be with someone.

Who's the one living in my heart?

Could it be Mr.Mermaid?

But I don't even know what he looks like and what's his name.

Does this even count?

This is your luck charm now just in case you fall into swimming pool again.

Then what about Tang Yibai?

hi there, you officially got my attention. Want an autograph?

What are you doing?

Qi Ruifeng, what's up with you? You seem to be everywhere.

Why did you sign on it? It's all because of your autograph.

Erase. Erase. Erase.

AON MALL

Can you help me to erase the autograph on it?

Whose autograph is it?

Qi Ruifeng's.

Then you shouldn't do it. Swimming goggles with his autograph on it can sell at a great price.

How about doing an exchange with a brand new one from this store?

I can't. It's a gift from a friend and means a lot to me.

I don't want other's autograph on it.

I see. But looks like it's from a permanent marker.

I'm afraid it can't be erased.

Yun Duo?

Yangyang!

What a coincidence! -I'm doing some shopping. What are you doing here?

Nothing. I'm just looking for help with my swimming goggles.

What swimming goggles?

The one Tang Yibai gave to me.

It's from Tang Yibai?! Can I take a look?

How come does Qi Ruifeng's autograph appear on here?

Don't mention it. It's a gift from Tang Yibai.

But Qi Ruifeng arrogantly signed on it.

It does resonate with his personality.

I have tried so many different ways to get rid of it but failed.

That's why I'm here to come to help.

I don't think you can erase it, but...

I think you can change the lens.

Really? Can you do that?

If you want, we offer engraving as well.

So we can engrave any character you want on the lens.

Wow you can do engraving on it?!

That's so cool. What do you think, Yun Duo?

Of course. I will do it.

Then what are you going to engrave on it?

Let me think about it.

Yibai, you're really not going back home tonight?

Who knows? Maybe your mom picks a right girl for you.

Stop it. I am not going. Period.

Alright. As you wish.

But I just found out one thing

which makes me believe in coincidences everywhere.

Right after your mom trying to introduce this girl to you, Yun Duo's landlord then called me.

Saying if Yun Duo's single she will introduce a guy to her.

And it's on tonight as well.

Do you have any idea what kind of guy it will be?

What do you think? it's her own son.

Her own son?!

The one I mentioned to you before who cares girls more than his friends...

and his own mom.

Yun Duo, what characters do you choose to engrave on it?

It's a secret. I can't tell you now.

Don't tell me it's Tang Yibai's name on it.

How come? No way.

Yangyang, you bought a lot swimming goggles and caps for guys.

This is not for myself. I'm shopping for someone else.

Who is this guy? -Who could it be? Qi Ruifeng.

Qi Ruifeng?! -Yep.

He has a bad habit of not keeping track of his stuff.

So he always ends up with either losing his cap or goggles.

And he has high requirements. If the style or color...

doesn't match his taste, he will be not comfortable in them.

Yangyang, you're being so nice to him. Come all the way to shop for him.

What are you talking about? I don't come all the way just for him.

I'm just stopping by. In case he freaks out over his gap or goggles right before the competition.

Let me take this call. -Go ahead.

Yun Duo? -Yes, Aunt Lu?

Are you...you off from work already?

Yes I am.

That's great. You're off. Do you still remember last time...

I mentioned I would introduce a great guy to you? -Really?

Come over and let's have dinner together. I...

I already talked to that guy. He's coming too.

What...what kind of guy?

Aunt Lu, I'm so confused now. I don't know what you are talking about.

I will be here. It won't be awkward.

I'm not talking about whether it will be awkward or not. I'm just so confused now.

Don't feel pressure.

Just pretend you're coming over for dinner after work

and making a new friend over dinner.

It's not a bad thing, don't you agree?

Aunt Lu, I very appreciate your kindness.

But...Yangyang...

Something comes up. I don't think I will be able to make it.

Then what time will you be free?

9 p.m.

It will be too late for dinner by then.

Alright, I understand.

Since you brought it up, what can I do?

How about this? I will talk to that guy...

and postpone the dinner until 9 p.m.

So just head over here as soon as you're free.

Alright. Alright. Deal. -But...

I will be waiting for you.

Yun Duo, you are such an idiot.

Why aren't you being straightforward and tell Aunt Lu you don't want to go? What's point of lying?

It's not helping anyway.

What's wrong, Yun Duo? Why are you getting so nervous after the phone call?

Not nervous. My landlord is trying to set me up with this guy and invite me over for dinner.

Setting you up with a guy?

I want to say no, but she is not giving me a chance.

What time will it be?

What if I go there with you together?

Are you sure?

With a company, you won't feel awkward.

Are you sure about this, Yangyang? You're the best.

It's a piece of cake. Besides, I think it will be interesting.

I have never been to a blind date.

Let's go shopping.

Yibai, your home is around here, right?

Not this one. -We're not there yet?

Where is this place you are talking about?

We're almost there.

Right over here.

Is this the place where Yun Duo is supposed to meet up with her landlord?

Yes, exactly.

I think it's about time. Yun Duo should be here soon.

Let's get inside and not wait any longer.

You can say she's yours. Except you, no one can go near her.

What's that look? Aren't we here to rescue her?

What are you talking about? I'm not here to ruin her blind date.

I'm here as a friend and show her my caring.

As a friend? Is really that simple?

It is that simple.

But if that guy doesn't turn out to be a nice one,

we could come up with something and rescue her by then.

Stop beat around the bush. You are here to rescue her.
