The Ex-Man (前男友不是人)

I wonder if other people are like me,

who feel like growing up is like a video game battle.

We played every trick we know to get scores.

In every step of life,

we will meet many enemies.

Of course, many of them are like the big villain in the video games,

who always gets in the way of our growth.

No...

Mommy!

We can never figure out if those pranks

and mocking are out of hate.

We also never figure out if the frown on our faces

and the little expectation in our hearts are out of love.

Hey.

Before we understood liking someone,

love appeared unexpectedly.

That's the first time we feel...

what it's like for the heart to exist in the body.

When you meet that someone, you think it's love.

He makes you see yourself in a way you never knew.

The first time you realize how crazily you could smile.

The first time you feel someone is your whole world.

When that person leaves, it's the first time you know

that in your body,

there are so many tears hiding.

The world without him,

is actually

just full of darkness.

Of course, singing loudly with your best friend

is one of the ways to heal the pain from a break-up.

Someday you will realize, without that person,

the world is still functioning.

The light he took away,

you can give it to yourself.

- Hey. I only have a 30 second break. I'll go in first. - I'm running late!

Li Bao Bei, you didn't stay up all night playing video games, did you?

My game buddy is in New York. I was fighting with him in his time. You don't understand.

Li Qin Ai, you're late.

I know. I'm already hurrying.

Be careful. It's hot.

The soup I prepared today is awesome.

- What weird soup? - Weird soup? It's eggplant, milk

- and fish soup. - Gross. - Gross?

Good morning everyone.

Li Yang, good morning.

This is fresh fish I got from the market. There are also clams.

- So good. - Qin Ai, I fixed your shoes.

Thanks.

Li Bao Bei, I thought you were connecting with New York.

Li Qin Ai, do you have to put shoes on the table?

- Li Yang helped get my shoes fixed. - Older Brother Li Yang.

My sister is not Cinderella. You don't need to put her shoes on for her.

If I have to give you a name, you'll be Fiona with the giant feet.

Nonsense! Does Li Yang look like Shrek to you?

- I didn't say it. You said it. - You're the donkey. - Big feet, big feet...

Okay... Brother and sister fighting so early in the morning. Here, have some soup.

- Let me help. - No need. I especially invented this soup today.

- Eggplant milk and fresh fish soup. - Mom, can I not have soup today?

- Yeah, can I not have any? - Why not?

- Because people might die. - Yep.

What are you talking about? Death?

- You said something wrong. You have some first. - I said Shrek might die.

Why would you go back to Shrek? Weird.

Here. Let's have some soup together.

- It's hot. - Drink your soup.

You try it yourself.

- What else do you need to say? - Put your shoes away.

- What's the big deal if I just put them here? - This is the dining table!

- Your shoes are so dirty. - Your shoes are smellier. - Let's eat together.

Auntie, I will help you.

- Of course I want it! - Try some!

Stop encouraging my mother.

Don't you know if you tell parents that you like it, they would cook more?

As long as she's happy, right?

No wonder my mother likes you so much.

Her focus has been on you these years, not on me or my brother.

Are you jealous?

I'm not. I am grateful.

Thank god you're here. My mom nags so much. It would be a lot of pressure on me and my brother.

Huh? Are you treating me like a brother or boyfriend?

What do you think? I gave up so many young fresh meat to be with you, who's eight years older than me.

I can't compete with their age.

But which young guy can do what I did?

For four years, I drove you to work and have breakfast with you every day.

You should give me an award.

Are you having breakfast with me or my mother?

How do you know that?

You're so bad.

Of course with you.

- One more kiss. - Okay.

One more.

Hello everyone. I am Dai Hai An. The annual shopping festival is about to start again.

We will have more new items on sale this year.

PChome: Spoil yourself shopping festival.

Are you living a tiring life? It's sad to feel like nobody loves you.

You think everyone else is doing well but you.

Why is it so hard to be happy?

I'm taking off.

I was thinking we should find a new house.

I think we need to be prepared.

Okay.

Go.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey. He brought it up.

Huh? He brought it up? Is that a proposal?

So early in the morning!

Or did he say it when you two went to a motel last night?

No. He just drove me to work.

Then he said he wants to find a new house. I don't know what it means.

Li Qin Ai. What does house hunting represent?

In my view, I'm telling you,

a real proposal has to include a ring and getting on his knees.

He just said we need to be prepared.

He's making me anxious.

Of course you would be anxious.

You still have a giant villain in your heart waiting to be solved.

You didn't even show up to the school reunion.

What does that have to do with anything?

To attend the school reunion means you're in a healthy place.

Why didn't you come? Come to the reunion

to prove that your mind's healthy enough to get married.

You're being annoying. I'm going upstairs. I'll talk to you when I see you. Bye.

- Bye. - Hi everyone, I'm Dai Hai An.

- So handsome, oh my god! - Whether you are a hard-working housewife or a busy career woman,

you still have to take care of children and your husband...

- Dai Hai An is so handsome. - and have to deal with in-laws every day...

Is he really your and Older Sister Qin Ai's high school friend?

When can we interview him? I want to meet him so much.

Enough. Wipe your drool.

My neck is really sore from all the editing work.

I need to go shop for ointment. Do your work.

Okay. He's so good looking.

- Morning. - Hi, honey.

- You must really want to pee since you just got here. Let's go into the bathroom. - I peed already.

He's so handsome! Oh god!

- Xiao Mei. - So handsome!

- So handsome. - He's really handsome.

Really? Older Sister Qin, hi.

When are you giving me the briefing?

At noon?

I'll be waiting.

Okay.

She's really not working hard... but so young.

Honey. I sent you the files. Check if you received it.

Okay.

Hello everyone, I am Dai Hai An. Whether you're a hard-working housewife

- Is there an end to this? - or a busy career woman.

After work, you still...

Why are you being this way?

Are all the ex like ghosts?

You thought you ran into him walking down the streets.

When you go to places you went to together, you thought he was standing next to you.

Watching movies you've watched together and restaurants you've gone to together,

anytime, anywhere, all the time,

every second, he will never let me go.

As if these weren't enough, I have to keep seeing him.

It's so annoying.

Are you done? Because not everyone's ex appears in commercials.

Isn't that coffee too bitter for you?

Old love is bitter.

You're so interesting.

Growing up is like baking coffee beans for women.

Really? So handsome!

Like those young girls, they will eventually figure it out.

From white coffee beans to bitter beans,

and the smell of burning. Then you need to add sugar in it.

I sound so mature!

You know why? Because you're old.

I'm old too.

Dragging me down?

Here, taste this. This is another flavor of ginseng.

Since when did you start eating this?

This is the taste of youth, okay?

Didn't you use to like it?

I don't remember.

I remember the commercial song was so brain-washing.

Every time I watched the baseball game, I had to sing that song. Do you remember the song?

I forgot!

I can remember it! I can remember it.

You're too much. That's the song to Monk Yixiu.

Right.

Forget about youth.

Coffee and tea are the flavors of our age.

I will help Xiao Mei with the briefing so the chief editor won't nag this afternoon.

Sure.

Right. Don't tell Xiao Mei too much about that "commercial idol." Makes it so hard for me to train her.

You have so much "idol baggage."

What are you talking about?
