FANG MAO
What are you doing?
Having a class?
What should we eat for lunch?
Chen Miren,
I beg you.
Make a compromise to Zhong Wei.
I've thought about it.
Xu Miaomiao said that Zhong Wei is the bad news messenger.
I don't think we can prevent it.
After all, no one is perfect. Everyone has a skeleton in the closet, right?
But I think we should think about the fundamental reason.
The three of us have no grudges against Zhong Wei.
He's coming for you.
Think about it. During a war,
if enemies want their captives to talk,
they think of a way from their relatives and friends.
I know that you don't think Fang Mao is good enough.
But in my heart,
I think he is the one.
He and I
really, really can't stand another test from Zhong Wei.
Aren't you deceiving yourself?
I have a hunch.
The bad news messenger is on his way.
[Zhong Wei] See you at the usual place.
It's urgent. It's about Luo Si.
What?
Well...
I have something to do. I have to go.
Zhong Wei, right?
It's my turn.
Luo Si, don't be nervous.
Maybe it's good news.
Fang Mao and Yao Weijing jointly rented a house.
Fang Mao and Yao Weijing jointly rented a house?
Why do you have so much bad news?
Well, did I make a mistake by telling you that?
Solving problems indirectly. What a stupid strategy!
Chen Miren, tell me.
I can stand it.
Luo Si,
if I tell you, don't get emotional.
Fang Mao and Yao Weijing
jointly rented a house.
What?
Oh?
Luo Si, didn't you hear her clearly?
I did.
Fang Mao and Yao Weijing jointly rented a house.
You still have the mood to shop online.
I'm buying a gift for Fang Mao.
What gift?
A housewarming gift.
Are you going to congratulate him?
Of course.
Fang Mao is really...
He moved out, but he didn't tell me.
Let's go together.
Yes, let's go together.
We can take care of each other if we fight.
Zhong Wei, even if you want to make up with Chen Miren,
you don't have to use us as stepping stones.
This is because of me.
I must make sure you go happily and come back safely.
Luo Si, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Why would I be not okay?
That's right. What could possibly happen?
There are four of us.
Even if they want to fight,
we are not afraid of them.
Xu Miaomiao,
we're not going there to fight.
Then why are we going there?
To congratulate them?
Let's hear what Fang Mao will say first.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding, right?
Yes, it must be a misunderstanding.
I believe Fang Mao.
Chen Miren,
call me if anything happens.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Coming.
Who is it?
Luo Si.
Who asked you to come in?
You're trespassing.
Yao Weijing, Luo Si is Fang Mao's girlfriend.
We can come whenever we like. Who are you?
A roommate?
Luo Si wants to talk to Fang Mao.
Give them space.
Luo Si.
Those people in my dorm are too noisy.
I've always wanted to move out and find a quiet place to study hard.
Weijing's roommate moved out.
So she asked me if I wanted to rent the room.
-That's why I moved here. -No need to say anything more.
I trust you.
Fang Mao's roommates are noisy when they play games.
He has always wanted to move out.
But the houses with one bedroom and one
living room near the campus are too expensive.
Weijing's roommate moved out.
So Fang Mao moved here.
Weijing,
thank you so much.
But
I'll come often.
You'll welcome me, right?
As long as Fang Mao doesn't mind,
you're always welcome.
Fang Mao, I brought you a gift.
There are a lot of us here today.
We can...
Luo Si.
No need. We should break up.
What now?
Didn't you say you trust me?
Fang Mao, you still have the mood to have hotpot, huh?
Luo Si brought you a gift.
What a waste.
Well, don't think about having hotpot.
What are you doing?
Give it to me.
Open this.
If it's a trash can, keep it for yourself.
If it's not,
we'll take it with us.
Zhao Gu, it's not a trash can.
What are you doing?
Give it to me.
As long as you don't forget our promise,
I'll always be here.
Don't throw it away.
Come here.
Luo Si,
where is Chen Miren?
She's upstairs.
We can't give him the pot.
Slow down. Don't fall.
Si, slow down.
Si, I'm really sorry. Si.
Give me the hotpot.
Who are you? What do you want?
So manly.
It's a pity that Chen Miren is not here.
We don't need this kind of unrealistic thing.
You deserve it.
Fang Mao, are you okay?
What happened?
What happened to your arm?
Zhong Wei beat Fang Mao.
Does it hurt? Are you hurt anywhere else?
My ribs hurt too.
Is it serious? Should we go to a doctor?
-My leg hurts too. -Your leg hurts too?
It has turned red. Get in the car now.
Slow down. Don't drag me.
Slow down.
Get in.
-My leg hurts too. -Your leg hurts too?
Looks like the bad news messenger will be offline soon.
Maybe.
Get in.
Fang Mao and I had a deal.
Our future house
doesn't have to be big,
but the curtains must be blue.
And there should be a fish tank.
On the first day we move in,
we should have hotpot full of love.
But now,
he's having hotpot with someone else.
Luo Si, it's okay.
I got the pot back.
Yes. I threw away all their dishes. They can't have hotpot.
Did you really throw them away?
Yes, I did.
Then...
what about the mutton roll?
I threw it away too.
It's trash now.
I'm a little regretful now.
When I came out, I should have hidden the remote-control unit
under the sofa.
I hid it.
Luo Si,
think positively.
With an ex like Fang Mao,
no matter how bad your future boyfriend is, he can't be worse.
I think so too.
It's just a breakup. It's not a big deal.
You'll meet a better person in the future.
We're gonna miss the green light.
Zhong Wei,
it seems we won't receive your sudden care in the future, right?
Solving problems indirectly.
You actually came up with this idea.
Zhong Wei, thank you.
Not at all. You'll find a better one.
You can't.
I mean you can't find a better one.
The best is the beginning and the finale.
I'm your beginning.
I still have the finale.
It can only be me.
Is this car expensive?
No. Beautiful and cheap.
It's very cost-effective.
That's good.
Are you crazy? It's so cold.
Why did you turn on the air conditioner?
I turned it on just because I'm not sick.
You are too hard on yourself to ask for a sick leave.
So much for solving problems indirectly.
I'd better rely on myself.
Since I can't get her back through her friends,
I'd better try harder
to get her back through myself.
Miaomiao, Luo Si,
eat more.
Xu Miaomiao.
I can explain.
Bao Jiaguo,
how's your collection of materials going?
Am I a good prototype?
Was my crying impressive?
Was my smile satisfying?
-I... -I advise you to leave now.
Because it might be inappropriate
to write what I'm going to say in a novel.
Besides,
if it's not necessary,
don't show up in front of me in the future.
Don't show up even if it's necessary.
I know.
I won't bother you anymore.
Miaomiao,
I think you should let him explain.
What's there to explain?
FANG MAO
Bad luck disappears. Bad luck disappears.
Bad luck disappears.
Bao Jiaguo left without eating anything.
Is it abnormal?
You're abnormal too.
You are eating chili sauce.
See you at the usual place after class.
Zhong Wei, are you okay?
I'm fine.
That's good.
I have something to tell you.
I knew it. Chen Miren still cares about me.
Go ahead.
Zhong Wei.
If you have any resentment, just come at me.
Stop caring about my three friends.
Okay?
R-Resentment?
I don't want to be the messenger of the bad news messenger anymore.
Please let me go.
Let Room 608 go.
The bad news messenger?
Just stop.
Don't do it again.
It's not good for anyone.
Just stop.
I...
You...
I bought you cold medicine.
Take the medicine
so that you can recover soon.
Well, who is the bad news messenger?
What did I do to harm myself and you?
Due to personal reasons, the update will be suspended indefinitely.
Why did Bao Jiaguo
stop updating it?
Didn't you abandon it long ago?
Why are you so excited?
I just want to see
how he can make up a story without me.
I knew it. He doesn't know how to continue.
He stopped updating the novel just like that.
Miaomiao, just forgive him.
I think he seems really sad this time.
I just saw Zhong Wei
go back to the dorm with cold medicine.
Pathetic.
He seemed sad too.
Chen Miren,
Cao Jia'er has returned to America.
The fact shows nothing happened between Zhong Wei and Cao Jia'er.
I know.
Bao Jiaguo,
where should we go for the team building next week?
Whatever.
Why don't we go sing karaoke? That's good.
It's boring.
Why don't we go have a picnic?
That's good too.
It's too troublesome. And the cost is too high.
But it will be too boring if we go sing karaoke every time.
If we go have a picnic, we'll have to submit more money.
Why don't we ask Bao Jiaguo? Let him decide.
Bao Jiaguo?
Anything is fine.
Bao Jiaguo.
What's wrong with him recently?
I don't know.
Is he our class monitor?
Don't mind him. Are all the girls in our class going?
Of course.
A Caged Bird?
It's really you.
We are from the Foreign Trade Department. I'm your fan.
When will you update the novel?
It's impossible for the male lead and the female lead to be together.
It's a tragedy.
Why?
Bao Zhendong gave 999 Louis ⅩⅣ roses to Lin Miaomiao, right?
Why is it impossible for them to be together?
That's right.
I'm sorry.
Bao Jiaguo,
you stopped updating the novel just like that.
You haven't finished it yet.
Do you have a sense of responsibility?
I...
What?
I order you to keep writing.
But you...
What?
Don't use me as the prototype if you are really capable.
If I find anything in common
between me and the female lead,
I'll strangle you to death. Do you hear me?
I'll strangle you to death.
Xu Miaomiao.
If I keep writing, would you still read it?
It depends.
Sir, five more mutton skewers.
Okay. Okay.
Don't you want to lose weight?
I'm happy today. I want to indulge myself.
Eat.
I'm not in the mood.
Not in the mood?
Are you heartbroken?
Right. You are single.
I'm back to updating the novel. I'm sorry for making you wait. Thank you for understanding.
A Caged Bird has updated the novel.
Didn't someone say
she wouldn't read it?
You're so desperate to read it.
Looks like you're impressed by his talent.
Appearance, not talent.
Bao Jiaguo?
His hairstyle
made him less handsome.
Yes.
I uploaded this photo on Weibo
to participate in the competition for innocent Prince Charming.
Guess what?
He's among the championships.
It's because Zhong Wei didn't participate in the competition.
Look at you.
Aren't you afraid of Zhong Wei, the bad news messenger?
What bad news messenger?
If it weren't for him,
Harris would still keep Zhao Gu in the dark now.
Luo Si wouldn't have found out that Fang Mao is a scumbag.
And you wouldn't have known
Bao Jiaguo is A Caged Bird, right?
What about the things between him and Cao Jia'er?
You don't mind?
What happened between them is a misunderstanding.
Besides,
I lied to him first.
If someone must be blamed,
it should be me because I made a mistake first.
Miren,
it sounds like you want to...
I want to make up with him.
Write a romance novel
with my loved one being the female lead.
The ending is I live happily with her
on a deserted island.
What do you think? Isn't it romantic?
I've figured out the character relationships.
But I have a question.
I'm the school hunk.
But in your novel,
why do Chen Miren and I just play the supporting roles?
The female lead can only be Xu Miaomiao.
Do you
want to be the male lead?
No.
Besides,
do you think you can be the male lead just because you're handsome?
Diligence, earnestness, and sincerity
are necessary too.
Who is not sincere? Who is not diligent?
Who is not earnest?
I thought you are talented.
But in terms of love, you are not good at it.
You're talking about me?
You're good at writing romance novels.
But what happened to your love relationship?
But... I've made up my mind.
I'll use everything I know
to give Xu Miaomiao an unforgettable confession.
Come on.
HANHAI UNIVERSITY SMALL THEATER FILM FESTIVAL
Let's get back together.
What do you think?
Too straightforward.
No matter how high a kite flies,
it's still led by a string.
Maybe it's the same when it comes to love.
It's hard to understand.
As long as you say yes, I'll say I love you.
Just tell me. Do you dare?
Can we not be so non-mainstream?
None of them is good.
Then what should I say?
Love is about the right timing, place, and people.
Now that we have the right people,
this will be the right timing and place.
HANHAI UNIVERSITY SMALL THEATER FILM FESTIVAL
-Look. Look. -What's wrong?
Go to the Small Theater Film Festival. See you there.
I've been the bad news messenger for quite some time.
Chen Miren is finally moved by me.
Not bad, bro.
Come on.
You can do it.
I'm leaving.
Come on.
I'm so full.
Do you think I should tell him as soon as I see Zhong Wei
or after watching the movie?
How about telling him when we are watching the movie?
Do you think my outfit is suitable?
Should I go back and get changed?
Good for you.
Zhong Wei was brave enough to be the bad news messenger for you.
But look at me.
Bao Jiaguo only played tricks with me.
He's not sincere at all.
But I don't think he's that kind of person.
There might be some misunderstanding.
Actually, I thought about this before.
If he was just looking for inspiration and abandoned me, he's a scumbag.
I can't forgive him.
But if
he used me as a prototype in his novel
because he likes me,
it...
What?
It seems quite romantic.
It is romantic.
Bao... Bao Jiaguo.
Hi.
Xu Miaomiao. Chen Miren.
Bao Jiaguo, why are you here drinking alone?
I...
Chen Miren,
how about...
I understand. I'm going back.
Let me ask you.
Bao Zhendong told Lin Miaomiao no matter what happens,
he will always be on her side,
protect her, and love her. And he will never lie to her. Is it true?
Yes.
He'll buy milk tea only for her,
wash clothes, massage her shoulders and legs, and spoil her like a princess.
-Is that true? -Yes.
He will stay with her forever.
Even without a white horse,
he will still be the princess's knight on a mule. Is that true?
Yes.
Am I the prototype of the princess?
Are you the prototype of the knight on a mule?
Yes.
Since you've used me as a prototype in your novel,
do you have anything to say to me?
Yes.
Not today.
Okay.
I know.
I like you.
♫ I don't need to doubt that I've fallen completely ♫
♫ I didn't sleep well, which indicated that there was a problem ♫
♫ Even if my eyes blur, as long as I think of you ♫
Xu Miaomiao,
I like you.
♫ I can rest assured and let my dream continue ♫
♫ You can't feel the heartbeat outside the mobile phone ♫
♫ I've revised the message again and again, being afraid that it was not good enough ♫
♫ I'm worried that I'll lose my manners, but I still want to bother you ♫
♫ This feeling is amazing ♫
♫ I love your smile which is like a cherry ♫
♫ I like everything about you, from the tips of your hair to your feet ♫
♫ With your gentle tone, even though the interval lasts for just a few seconds ♫
♫ I'm still going crazy ♫
♫ I don't need to doubt that I've fallen completely ♫
♫ I'd imagine it was you while watching short videos ♫
♫ I talk about you frequently ♫
♫ It's enough to prove that it's you ♫
♫ I don't need to doubt that I've fallen completely ♫
♫ I didn't sleep well, which indicated that there was a problem ♫
♫ Even if my eyes blur, as long as I think of you ♫
