Are you here for the interview?
I'm here to deliver beer from Huimin Supermarket.
Deliver beer?
Would you like to try to interview for our company?
Mr. Meng.
Mr. Meng?
Aren't you the guy who was buying beer
at the supermarket?
You are the...
Yes. Would you like to try for the job?
Hello, Yun Shu.
Hello, Mr. Zhang.
Are you busy?
It's okay. We can talk.
I have good news for you.
I got a new job
as an assistant at a law firm today.
I just passed their interview this afternoon.
Congratulations.
Actually,
I just want to tell you.
Since I'm visiting Grandpa this afternoon,
I'm worried that you might not know it.
So I'm giving you a heads-up.
Grandpa would also be happy for you.
Keep up the good work.
All right, Mr. Zhang. See you.
Okay. See you.
Have you recently been in love?
Yes!
That's interesting.
The old man has been in a good mood lately.
That's so interesting.
What?
Do you have something on your mind?
No.
Grandpa,
didn't you say that one good thing about me is
that I'm carefree?
Why would I have something on my mind?
Don't forget this. The seniors are always more observant.
Did something unpleasant happen
between you and Sinian?
No, no.
No.
I do have something on my mind.
It's
about the new job I found
as an assistant at a law firm.
But
I'm not quite sure of myself.
I don't know if I could actually do it.
Is that all?
I'm being honest.
When I was abroad,
my mentor was surrounded
by Americans and Europeans.
They don't believe
that Chinese people can do mathematical research at all.
All those doubts about me
made me start to doubt myself.
I even thought about
changing my major
or dropping out.
And then,
my mentor noticed that.
One day, he called me to his office
and pointed to a pile of documents. He said,
"Zhang, look."
"These are all the applications to be my doctoral candidate,"
"and I picked you
from all those applicants."
"So please trust yourself"
"and my judgment of people."
Yun Shu,
you should believe
that there's always a reason
for one person choosing another.
It's probably
that you wouldn't know at the time.
Grandpa.
I understand.
Go for it.
Yun Shu,
there's something
that I would like to ask you to help with.
All right.
Grandpa, tell me.
A seaside villa.
What people said was true.
There's a golden hall in books.
How long will it take me to clean
such a huge place by myself?
Mr. Zhang.
What are you doing here?
Grandpa...
Why didn't you notify me
that you were coming here today?
I...
I forgot.
Actually, I was thinking
that you are always so busy,
so maybe
I shouldn't tell you details like this.
Mr. Zhang,
let's clean up the house.
This place is huge.
We won't to finish if we don't get started now.
Yun Shu.
Congratulations on your new job.
Let's begin.
Be careful.
I'll take care of the high spots.
Yun Shu.
Yes, Mr. Zhang?
Yun Shu,
you don't have to clean this room.
Mr. Zhang,
I found a lot of photos
of you as a child here.
They are so cute.
You actually read fairy tales when you were young.
Mr. Zhang.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to go through your stuff.
You can leave now.
Okay.
I'll go clean the other rooms.
Okay.
Yun Shu.
Yun Shu!
What?
Come over here.
What?
The wall...
There is something on the wall. Do you see it?
Where?
At your two.
Something on the wall...
Do you mean the gecko?
Please,
get it out of here.
Okay.
Well...
Please hurry.
Get it out.
It's done.
Get it away, hurry!
Do you dislike it so much?
Come on!
- Please.
- Thank you.
So this is the main entrance.
So which door did you use
when you were getting in here?
It's the door at the beach in the back.
I never cared for this door when I was young.
I liked the one at the beach.
We are the same.
Let me give you a ride.
Actually,
I'd like to
go take a walk on the beach.
All right.
I'll come with you.
I'm sorry.
Hello, Ms. Shen.
A last-minute meeting?
Okay.
I'll get there as soon as possible.
It's okay.
You should go.
I'll go there by myself.
Okay.
Then tell me when you get home.
Take care.
Are you still by the seaside?
The coastline looks so beautiful when the tide is out.
Don't stay out too late.
I'll take you there next time.
- Okay.
- Be careful.
Slow down. Be careful.
Is it fun?
I'll go with you to pick up Grandpa from the hospital
Sunday morning.
We said that we'd get our words straight.
I totally forgot that.
Professor Zhang.
I sense that something is different about you.
Different?
Different how?
I think you are happier than
when I first met you.
"Happier"?
It's because of Yun Shu, right?
Ms. Shen,
I think you must have misunderstood.
Yun Shu and I
are not like what you thought.
We signed an agreement
for some particular reasons.
"An agreement"?
Yes.
In one year, when the agreement expires,
our relationship will cease to exist.
So I'd like to ask you
to keep that secret for me.
So
when you asked me
how a divorce would affect a woman was
because of Yun Shu, right?
Yes.
And thank you for reminding me.
I've made it clear to Yun Shu
that we should keep our distance
when someone else is present
and pretend to be strangers.
Professor Zhang.
I know you were doing it
for her sake,
but that's not the way
to treat a girl.
"Not the way"?
What do you mean by that?
Girls
make judgments by feelings.
You have to tell her the whole story,
or there will be a misunderstanding.
Manager, I'm looking for you.
So you are saying
that I should explain my motives
to Yun Shu.
Of course.
Girls will get other ideas.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
What?
Did you resign?
So where are you living now?
I made an agreement with the manager.
I will be working until the weekend.
And I'm reporting to the law firm on Monday.
The law firm has a dormitory.
I'll be living there.
And give me an update now.
How are things going between you and Mr. Zhang?
Mr. Zhang and I...
I think it's a little...
Yun Shu.
I think
you've won.
I won?
Mr. Zhang must be regretting it.
It must be because
Mr. Zhang really didn't want you to leave home.
But
he can't ask you to move back.
That's why
he's trying to create opportunities
to meet you.
It can't be that.
That's what's going on.
All right. Stop.
Let me ask you.
How are things going between you and Gu Xiao?
We
are in the ambiguous stage.
"Ambiguous stage"?
What kind of stage is that?
The one you and Mr. Zhang are in.
Why would you ask so many questions?
I feel embarrassed.
I don't really understand.
It's just...
You know.
Ambiguous.
Have you read the client's information?
Yes.
Let Lan take the lead.
- Is the client here?
- Yes, he's here.
I think someone is shooting for a show.
It's Lu Yu.
It's truly Lu Yu!
Xiao Li, please let me explain.
Cut!
What's up with you?
Can you make it look real when you hit him?
Just do it.
All right. Let's try again!
Try again!
Let's try again.
Come on. Ready?
You are outrageous!
Xiao Li, please let me explain.
How could you betray me?
Cut!
If there's no technical issue, we will pass this one.
Do it now.
Director,
let's try again.
I
wasn't at my best just then.
- Can you hold on for one more take?
- It's okay.
Let's try again.
All right.
Thank you, Sir.
I will work hard.
All right.
All departments get ready.
Xiao Li, please let me explain.
How could you betray me?
Cut!
Pass!
- Next scene!
- Okay.
Let's go to the meeting.
I thought
I would never come back here.
Walking through that door today,
I felt like this is another life.
Grandpa,
don't joke about that.
How is that a joke?
I meant every word.
- Grandpa.
- Sit.
Grandpa, look.
Isn't this place clean?
Do you feel so much better now?
Of course.
With you two here,
I never feel not good.
Grandpa, are you hungry?
I can make some food.
- All right.
- Wait for me.
We will have so much delicious food tonight.
There's no place like home.
Mr. Zhang.
Where is Grandpa?
Grandpa said that he wanted to read.
Let me help you.
Then help me cut the vegetables
that are already cleaned.
Okay.
- Let me help you.
- It's okay. I can do it myself.
It's okay. Let me.
Thank you.
Ms. Shen told me
that a flash marriage
followed by a divorce
would affect a girl a lot.
I don't want you
to be hurt by anything out there.
I understand.
I was
overthinking back then.
No.
I didn't think it through
before.
Grandpa,
the food is still cooking.
I want to discuss something with you two.
Stay here with me tonight
and go back tomorrow, all right?
- All right. That's not necessary.
Okay,
Grandpa. We can do that.
Yun Shu.
Do you have something on your mind?
Grandpa.
It's already late.
Why are you still up?
This is what age does to you.
You would be tempted by food, you start to fear death,
and you sleep less.
We still have some food.
I'll go warm it up for you.
No.
I'm good with several pieces of this.
Grandpa.
I have a question for you.
Shoot.
Mr. Zhang Sinian...
Does he not like Andersen's Fairy Tales?
Why are you asking that?
When I was cleaning the guests' room upstairs,
I saw a copy of
Andersen's Fairy Tales by accident.
And several pages were smeared.
I think someone did that on purpose,
so...
It's The Little Mermaid, right?
That's Sinian's
favorite fairy tale.
And it's also his greatest pain.
When Sinian was four years old,
his parents went on an academic study tour.
They were supposed to come back by the summer vacation.
Sinian
was looking forward to his mom coming back,
but what he got was...
I didn't have the courage
to tell Sinian the truth,
so I had to lie to him
with his favorite nighttime fairy tale.
I told him
that his mom didn't leave us.
His mom is actually a mermaid.
She's back in the ocean right now,
and she could only visit him again
when he grows up.
Lies
can never last forever.
Grandpa.
Don't say that.
It's not that he doesn't believe in fairy tales.
He
just didn't have the chance
to say goodbye to the person he used to be.
Yun Shu.
Do you know
why
I asked you and Sinian to get married?
Because I know
that you are
a kind and warm girl.
I believe that
you will affect Sinian and make him warm, too.
Grandpa.
You have my promise.
Is the size all right?
Yes. The waist is a little too big for me.
The rest is okay.
Make do with it tonight.
Thank you for staying
today.
Grandpa is really happy.
It's okay.
I'm on a break
these days.
It's getting late.
Don't stay up late.
We will go back first thing
tomorrow morning.
Mr. Zhang.
Are you asleep?
Not yet.
I didn't mean
to go through your stuff
in your room the other day.
You are not mad, right?
No.
I was overreacting a little
that day.
Grandpa told me all about it.
What did Grandpa tell you?
The story of the mermaid.
It's all in the past.
Fairy tales
are for children.
It doesn't exist
in the real world.
Mr. Zhang.
Can I tell you what I'm thinking?
The emotions
in fairy tales
are real
so
don't deny it.
Mr. Zhang?
Yun Shu.
Actually, we don't have to try
to stay away from each other in private.
What are you saying?
I'm saying
that if you don't mind,
then I wouldn't mind
letting people know about our relationship.
Let's get some rest.
- Good night.
- Why are you here again?
- It's so windy out here.
Let me in.
What are you doing here?
I caught a cold.
The weather is just so cold.
What happened to your face?
Allergies.
I can't eat seafood.
My friend insisted on giving me some seafood porridge.
That's why.
Here.
It's an ice pack.
Do it yourself!
You have a fever.
I don't.
What do you mean by that look?
Did you forget me again?
Here. Ginger tea.
Don't push your luck.
Well...
Can I sleep here tonight?
I'm sick. How miserable I am.
How lonely I must be by myself?
And it's so windy out there.
Plus I'm having a fever.
Just take me in.
I'll sleep on the couch.
If you dare to enter my room,
I'll kick you out.
You can kick me hard!
I left a note by the food.
Let Grandpa sleep for a little longer.
We should go now.
Where are you going?
I'll give you a ride.
Mr. Zhang,
do you have time later?
Yes.
I want you to come with me to a place.
It's not far from here.
All right.
Lead the way.
Mr. Zhang,
let's park over there.
There's something I need to do.
Wait for me for fifteen minutes.
And come looking for me in fifteen minutes.
Remember!
Fifteen minutes.
- Okay.
- Don't come earlier.
Is this your shoe?
Yes.
I think that's mine.
Over there?
Yun Shu?
Mr. Zhang.
The mermaid didn't forget your arrangement.
She's back here to see you.
You are silly.
Mr. Zhang,
are you still struggling with this?
The mermaid died eventually.
No, she didn't!
The mermaid turned into a human.
She lived with the princess happily.
It was a really heart-warming,
cute,
and happy ending.
My dad told me that.
I used to go to the cinema
by myself when I was feeling bad
and watch a comedy.
That's the best stress-relieving method
I can think of.
Oh, right!
Have you ever watched "Modern Times" before?
"Modern Times"?
No.
- Really?
- Yes.
So were you at the cinema
on May 20?
That day, I kind of was.
But isn't that day May 19?
Did you have an appointment
that day
to watch the night package movies,
but you bought the wrong ticket
and ended up sleeping on the chair for the whole night?
How do you know that?
The guy who was sitting on the other side
was me.
It can't be that!
That was you?
So
you were the one
who woke me up that day.
Me?
Woke you up?
Yes. Your weeping woke me up.
It was the movie!
The movie woke you up.
Mr. Zhang,
that was a silent film. e up.
