What happened to the antique necklace I wanted you to buy for your Auntie?
I lost it.
I just knew you would say that.
Your aunt is going to get married soon. She is about to leave us.
You can't even take care of buying a necklace and delivering it.
Aren't you letting her down after all the years she raised you?
I did not lie to you. I really lost it.
That club of yours... is it losing money?
Yeah.
Did you sell the necklace because you're short of cash?
I didn't! The other branches still have profit we can use to make up for the losses.
Han Shangyan, if you need money, just tell me.
How old am I that I need to swindle Auntie's money?!
What do you think I am?
I'm thinking about whether my grandson's life can be better and not make me worried.
I will transfer all the money to her in a bit.
Not one cent less.

- We have a guest today? - No.
No? If we don't, why did you make so many dishes?
- Ghost knows. - What the heck.
Come to eat.
I don’t have an appetite.
This...
Wow, so many... They're all spicy!
Luckily, at least, there's braised pork.
Oh my, even the braised pork is so hot!
I'll die eating this.
I'm here! Hurry!
Here.
What is it? Why did you call me in such a hurry?
Did you forget? Today, the sponsors of the CTF tournament are opening the try-outs.
Your bag fell. We had to defeat hundreds of people to enter the Top Ten.
If you hadn't told me... I'd have forgotten all about it!
I haven’t gotten ready yet.
Did you see NetEase Music? The ad is already up.
[Theme song]
I heard that Han Shangyan is also a CTF spokesperson.
And look, you're the most followed.
It went so fast! [Ranking of Popular Singers]
You didn't mention Han Shangyan to them, did you?
Of course not. Do we still need men for this?
Don't bring it up in the future either. I broke up with Han Shangyan.
Broke up? Why?
That night, Han Shangyan even opened up and said...
What did he say?
He said he didn't know you well, you'd just met a few times.
If we must ask him whether he liked you and he said he did, it would be too hypocritical.
What he said is correct. It is like this.
But... he also said...
"All things in time. Sooner or later feelings will come."
These men, seriously!
No wonder he's been my husband's idol for so many years.
I ordered you a drink.
- Thank you. - You’re welcome.
Then, you guys can’t go back anymore?
I brought it up. He said okay.
You brought it up?!
Seriously, you obviously like him, why did bring up breaking up?
Aren't you torturing yourself just for your pride?
Besides, he originally just wanted to appease the elders.
Now, we don’t need it.
Let's just end it like this. Don't talk about him anymore.
Okay, okay. Don't talk about it. Just break up.
Regarding love and pain, if it makes you unhappy, then get rid of it.
Besides, I was originally worried for you. Let's treat it like nothing happened.
Eat something first. Later, we have serious matters to attend to.
Bread is more important than love.
A woman needs independence to have more confidence. Isn't that right?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This way.
[Perfect World]
Hello, we are here to take part in the tryouts for NetEase Music.
May I ask who you two are?
This is number one on the charts, Little Squid, Tong Nian.
I am number eight, Blueberry, Lan Mei.
Please sign in.
Over here.
There are definitely a lot of people who signed up.
Of course.
- Wait for me for a second. - Here's your pen.
- Thank you. - Let's go.
Hello, Solo.
I wasn't able to say thanks last time.
Thank me for what?
Little Ai said you spent the day at the amusement park with her. She was especially happy that day.
No, not at all! I was happy to spend time with her.
Good luck on the singing audition.
- We will. - Thank you.
- Good luck. - Good luck. Thank you.
- Hey, Tong Nian, is he the legendary Solo? - Yep.
Wow, it's really nice to be dating Han Shangyan.
You can also get to be acquainted with so many legendary people in the professional circle.
I didn’t mean that. Let’s go. It’s about to start.
I'm Director Xiang and I'm in charge of the sponsors.
Welcome everybody to our NetEase Cloud Music Singer Selection.
This time, we will be recording a theme song for CTF.
Congratulations for being considered for this role.
First, you are all so talented. Welcome!
Now, I would like for all of you to introduce yourselves.
For this audition, we will be looking at tone, bearing, stage style, and also on-the-spot reaction.
In the end, we will pick two people for this part, to go on to the final audition.
We also have one more judge on the way here.
So please relax and warm up.
- Thank you. - Okay.
♪ O Sole mio! ♪
Do you think I can win?
- What do you think about singing this one? - ♪ Along the ancient road ♪
- Go first. - Okay.
Everyone, we are still waiting for one more judge who certainly won't make it.
Why don’t we just start?
Did he tell you that he'd come for sure?
He didn't say he would certainly not come, either.
But the thing is, everyone else is already here.
We can only start first.
I'm honored to be considered for this role.
I really like the Team Solo that disbanded ten years ago.
I'm a single mother.
Don't be nervous, Miss Mom. Is your child here?
♪ As if the fifth road had blinded my eyes ♪
Hello, judges, my name is Zhang Yunyun.
I'm Wang Haha... because I usually like to laugh.
- I was over 150 kg and now I've gone down to about 50 kg. - Wow.
♪ We went such a twisted way before we met ♪
♪ If I leave you ♪
Hello, judges and teachers, I am Tong Nian.
I really like to sing; moreover,
I like to sing for the person I like.
I hope after he listens to it, he can feel happy and be happy.
I think songs are the best way to communicate feelings.
I'll put all my feelings into my singing.
Even if he doesn't like me, and I think there's no way to insist,
at the very least, I want to try.
If I don't put in the effort and sing to him,
he might never know that I like him.
Sorry, I'm late.
I will just sit in as an observer; there is no need to record my score.
That's great. Our last judge finally made it in time.
Here, I'll take a moment to introduce him.
This is the Founder of K&K Club, Han Shangyan.
In the future, he will be our promotion ambassador of CTF in the Chinese region.
At the same time, he will also attend our fan meetings together with the two singers chosen today.
Old Han, you came at just the right time.
We were just about to choose a song for Little Squid to audition.
If there is anything you think is suitable, you can ask for her to sing it.
Okay.
Then use that flowery method you just mentioned to sing "Little Donkey." (T/N: popular song for children)
♪ I have a little donkey that I never ride ♪
♪ One day it suddenly comes to mind that I ride it to the market ♪
♪ I hold a whip in my hand, my heart feels delighted ♪
♪ I don't know how la la la la, fell and got all muddy ♪
♪ I have a little donkey that I never ride ♪
♪ One day it suddenly comes to mind that I ride it to the market ♪
♪ I hold a whip in my hand, my heart feels delighted ♪
♪ I don't know how la la la la, fell and got all muddy ♪
May I ask is there any feeling that you want...
to express with this song?
Since the judge asked me to use the method of expressing emotions that I described to sing this song,
I imagined the Little Donkey to be my lover and sang this song.
Then, what happened to your "Little Donkey"?
My "Little Donkey" is gone.
Sorry.
Everyone's score is out.
If no one else has any objection,
the selected ones for this audition are number 8, Lan Mei, and number 1, Tong Nian.
Old Han, you were late.
You also heard Tong Nian sing. Do you have any thoughts?
I... don't really have any thoughts.
It's just that the style of our theme song is more towards hot-blooded and lively.
Does everyone really think her style is suitable for our theme song?
This is the result from the overall scores.
I think that her singing was not bad. At the very least, it touched me.
I think that I am starting to like her. What do you think, Solo?
I think Tong Nian's voice is very clean, like a kid.
Furthermore, using the voice of a kid to interpret our theme song is nothing bad.
But what Old Han said is reasonable, too.
Since it is the theme song, we will have to be careful.
But no matter what we say, it is a fair selection.
Look, Tong Nian's score is in fact the highest.
Old Han, didn't you say just now that you would not give any opinion, and would just observe?
Isn't this what you asked me? You asked, I answered.
Okay. I have nothing to say.
Good. In the future, please cooperate well with Tong Nian.
But when did I ever agree to be this promotion ambassador thing?
I came to be a judge because of our relationship.
You asked me to come, so I came.
Today, I was late because one of my team members got in a car accident.
I went to the hospital, confirmed that his injuries were not serious before coming here.
It delayed me for some time. For my lateness, I am very apologetic.
If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving. Continue.
Old Han, you can't say it like that.
Old Han?
Old Han!
Han Shangyan is coming out.
Take it easy.
Congratulations to you guys. I look forward to your performance.
Go back and learn the song well.
Don't worry, Director Xiang. We will.
Next Saturday, you must be here at 3:00 p.m.
For that day, I will invite Solo, Wang Hao; and Gun God, Han Shangyan,
to check up on you guys. Is that okay, Solo?
No problem! You are always taking care of SP, I'll be here for sure.
Director Xiang, may I ask you something? Will Han Shangyan really come?
Of course, he will. Today he had something to do, so he left early.
After the recording, I will take everyone out to dinner so everyone can get to know each other.
- Okay. - Sure.
How are you two leaving? My car is over there. Do you need me to give you a ride?
No need, no need.
That's fine. Bye.
- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
If anything comes up, I will give you a call.
All right. I will get going.
- Thank you, Director Xiang. - Bye.
- Goodbye, Director Xiang. - Bye.
Hey, Little Squid. Say, Solo and Han Shangyan's personalities are really opposite.
To be honest, every time I see Han Shangyan, I am scared.
His actual personality isn't like that.
Do you think he'll come next week?
Do you mean at the recording studio?
I think he probably will.
Don't worry. Just wait for a week and you can see your handsome Han Shangyan.
Then, we'll force him to answer about what he is thinking.
He better not be playing hard to get, or anything like that.
Let's go.
Isn't that Han Shangyan's car?
Tong Nian, let's do it again. Okay?
- Pay attention to your emotions! - Okay!

Tong Nian, how to say this...?
There are no feelings at all.
What's happening?
Sorry, Teacher. Can I do it again?
I'm sorry. How about we have a little rest.
I'll go in with her, to smooth it out. What do you say?
Okay. Let's rest for a bit.
What's wrong? You look uneasy.
Are you expecting him to come?
Didn't he say that there was no need for him to come? So he certainly wouldn't come.
Just record for a bit. Just imagine that he came, and he's watching your performance.
Is that better?
- Then, I'm going out. You, keep fighting. - All right.
Keep fighting!
"...far away. I need no..."
How is it in there?
How about we go through it two more times, as a practice?
You still need to practice?

Miss Tong Nian, in your previous recordings you basically passed in three tries.
What's wrong today? Why do you have no confidence?
How about I stay in with her and we take one recording together?
- That works, too. - Works, right?
Sure. Go in.

Then, Tong Nian. Let's start over and record again, okay?
- Okay. - Okay, are you ready?

Hello. I wanted to ask whether the vending machine by the entrance doesn't take paper money?
That's right.
Then can I change some coins with you?
Exchanging coins... I don't have many here either. How many do you need?
- One hundred. - One hundred?
Little Fan, do you have coins?
I do, but I only have three.
- No problem. Just bring it here. - Okay.
This is the front desk. I suddenly have a person here who needs one hundred in coins.
Everyone who has coins, could you bring it so we can pool it together?
Come, give it to me.
How about you?
I'm not sure these are enough, I'll count for you.
It’s fine. No need. Thank you.

She is singing pretty well!
Ten minutes ago, it was a mess.
I don't know what happened, but now it's like she's a different person.
Not bad. You're back to your original form.
- Thank you, Teacher. - I said it.
If you'd sung like this before, we would have been finished a lot earlier.
This is called "hiding our actual strength"!
You've worked hard.
Everyone, come drink some juice.
Wow! Director Xiang is so generous!
I didn’t buy it.
Then... Thank you, Brother Solo.
I didn’t buy these either.
A handsome guy out there just came to the front desk, changed 100 coins and bought these from the vending machine.
Who?
He said he’s your friend. Pretty handsome.
My friend?
Who cares who bought it. Just drink.
Come.
Little Squid, hurry, look. Did he write this?
- He even especially chose the "Confession" bottle! (T/N: "Confession" is the juice brand) - Wait a moment.
Where are you going?
Old Han's bad temper really hasn't changed. Coming and going without even saying hello.
- What? - Why do you keep staring at her?
She's the type I like.
Say, does she have a boyfriend? If not, I’m going after her.
You should give up now.
What? Is she already taken?
A friendly reminder, you can never pursue this girl.
Give up!
Save your life.

Boss, what are you doing instead of sleeping? I thought it was—
Thought it was what?
I think it was you being overly suspicious.
Good night, Boss.
Little Han, you should wake up now. What time is it already?
It's already daytime. Hurry and get up!
Stop sleeping.
Auntie, it's too bright.
Get up, get up! What are you doing sleeping during the day?
Get up, get up!
Why does your complexion look so bad? Are you sick?
No. Just a bit hungry and a bit dizzy.
Something's wrong. You really do have a fever.
Auntie, what are you doing?
Measure your body temperature, quickly!
♫ I carefully covered up that I don’t mind ♫
Auntie, if there's nothing else, you should hurry out.
If I really have some virus, it will infect you, too.
Next week, you can come into my room and clean and disinfect it.
If I'm sick, it's no big deal, but the lot out there are precious. They cannot get sick.
Okay. Next week, I'll make some garlic soup.
Kids who drink it get better really quickly.
I am not scared of getting sick.
- I’ll go pour some water for you. - Okay.
♫ I start to portray an unfamiliar me ♫
Boss, you woke up so early. Didn’t you go to sleep really late yesterday?
I've only been off work for three days, why does your complexion look so bad?
Staying up late.
What kind of important work do you have that you have to stay up late?
♫ I can't act like myself ♫
♫ The me who doesn't care about you ♫
- Boss, we're full now. We're going to go train! - Yes, yes!
Little Bai.
I don’t have any money.
Why are you being like this? Are we brothers or not?
Even if you were my biological father, I'd have no money to lend to you.
I didn't come to you for this.
Go to Jiaodong University and drive my car back.
Why did you park your car there?
Oh yeah. Bring some cash.
Fill it full of gas for me.
Hurry and go.

What? Why are you staring at me?
Didn't you tell me before that every month I have a bonus?
Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?
Tell me first, what's in the bonus?
Not a lot. Every month, there's a thousand for meals and two thousand for car allowance.
Based on my standards, is it enough?
What did you spend all your money on?
As a club's boss, why are you so short on money?
I lost my stepmother's antique necklace.
I've already given her all of my savings.
I already borrowed some from Little Bai, but it's still not enough.
Too pitiful.
This month, transfer the bonus into my card.
Do you want me to give you a red envelope?
Thanks in advance!
Little Bai, you drove your brother’s car back?
Yes.
Your brother has a fever. Go take a look at him.
Don't worry. A poor man won't get a fever.
You’re sick?
You're rarely sick. Is it because you broke up?
Do you know how to talk? Do you understand how to talk?
I wonder who it was that drove all the way to Jiaodong University until there was no gas left.
I’m not going back today. My head hurts.
If I go back and have to go through the old man's lecture, I can just die.
Grandpa said that if you don’t go back to see him,
he will come live at the club.
Are you still going back?
You drive.
You filled it up?
I'm first place in the world, and I still need to fill it up?
I’m asking you. Did you fill up the gas tank?
The gas meter was down to zero. How could I have driven here without filling gas?
Right now, do I look very much like someone who is going through a breakup?
Yes.
Stop looking.
You’re very handsome.
[Morning Studio]
I'm sorry, I've come late.
No problem. You just need to sign your name here.
I wanted to ask if everyone was already here?
Yes. Everyone is here.
Is there a gentleman whose name is "Han" here as well?
A gentleman whose name is "Han"...?
I don't know. I don't know which gentleman is called "Han."
But the people that should be here are all here.
- Thank you! - No problem.
Tong Nian, you're here!
Everyone is here already?
What's wrong? You look really disappointed.
I thought that Han Shangyan was here.
I was so anxious that I didn't even take the bus, I just took the taxi straight here.
Forget it, forget it.
In a moment the two of you can listen with us and see if there is anything else we need to record.
I think it's pretty good. There's no need for any touch-up recordings.
Okay. In a moment, we can listen together.
Director Xiang, I want to ask you something.
How come Brother Solo and Han Shangyan didn't come today?
They're both busy people. To be able to see them last time was already not bad.
They have clubs that participate in competitions.
And they aren't even from our company.
That's true.
The sample is out. It's not bad!
Thank you.
Director Xiang.
I... am quite curious about Han Shangyan.
How about you tell us some gossip on him?
I find that no matter if a girl is single or taken,
she'll always like to ask about Han Shangyan.
After all, he is handsome.
When he played professionally, he had the most female fans.
And they were also the type of fans that genuinely and sincerely wanted to be his girlfriend.
It made us all envious.
No, don't misunderstand!
My husband is a die-hard fan of Han Shangyan, he wanted me to ask.
So it's like that. I thought that you were interested in him.
No, I'm already married, already married.
I didn't realize!
How about you?
I'm single.
Let's continue talking about Han Shangyan. Does he have a girlfriend or not?
- Teacher, I want to listen. May I? - This, I don't know.
- You can. - You need to ask his old team. Han Shangyan isn't easy to get along with.
He mixes well and he's a guy with an open heart.
But most people are only nodding acquaintances.
Yet, this is fine, too: he's reassuring to people, he doesn't smooth-talk people with slickness.
Then, what about now?
Now?
Does he have anyone that he is seeing right now?
Probably.
- He does? - He does?
Our company had a girl before who kept pursuing him.
But I heard an insider from K&K say that Han Shangyan seems to have a girlfriend.
When did that happen?
Probably in the past few days? I'd never heard about it before.
It must have just started recently. It seems pretty mysterious.
Nobody knows.
Say, this guy is really heartless.
He just broke up with you not too long ago. Not even a few days?
Two weeks.
Two weeks? I hate this type the most! You just broke up and he already found the next one.
Say, didn't he go through any moment of sad transition?
If you ask me, in the last period, he put no heart in it.
And I thought he was a pretty good person, too!
When I go home, first I'll give a beating to my hubby to vent my anger, that'll teach him to be a fan of such an idol.
Little Squid, I urge you to just give up.
We worked together with several top students from a research lab in Jiaodong University to finish this project.
Jiaodong University? Isn't that Nian Nian's university?
[Officer Li: They're helping our city's investigative team with a facial recognition software.]
I think it is.
This granddaughter-in-law I have is just like you!
She's a genius! A high technology genius!
Nian Nian hasn't come in a long time, has she?
Yeah.
Why is that?
I don't know.
Little Bai. Child, you have never been a liar, since you were little.
Tell me quickly. Why is that?
You should ask my bro instead.
I'm asking you!
I think... there's a bit of a problem.
But for the specifics, you definitely have to ask my brother.
Morning.
Morning!
You're up?
Do you still have a fever?
- I'm fine. No fever now. - That's good.
You hurry to the school, pick up Nian Nian and bring her back here.
Why would I bring her?
Today is her birthday!
So what? What does it have to do with me?
Did you forget or have you never even remembered?
She never even told me.
For your girlfriend's birthday, you should be more hectic.
During New Year's, that day when I went matchmaking for you, I had to ask her mother in a roundabout way to find out.
- Aren't you embarrassed? - You're such a mother hen...
What did you say?
- Nothing. - Mother... yes, right, I just asked her mother!
I asked Nian Nian's mother.
I had to ask her for her to tell me.
I haven't eaten anything in days. Can you let me eat a bit in peace, please?
Then eat! I'm not disturbing you.
Han Shangyan, I really like this girl, Nian Nian.
She is cute and well-behaved. She is very smart, too!
A moment ago on the news, I saw their university laboratory...
That's one of the main laboratories in the country!
Tell me. What point does she have that isn't worthy of you?
I'm not worthy of her, okay?
Good that you know!
Sit, sit, sit. Sit!
For someone to has fallen in love with you is already not easy.
For such a good girl to have fallen love with you is even less easy!
Are you going to go pick her up?
No.
You're not listening to me again?
She is still studying. To go back and forth every day, is it proper?
Today is a Sunday.
Hurry and go!
No.
If you don't go, I am not eating today!
Now you are going to blackmail me with a hunger strike?
I'm not eating tomorrow either!
If you don't eat, you may get angina, right?
I'm telling you, you know my temper!
Are you going or not?
Little brat!
Did you say something to Grandpa again?
No.
Okay. I'll go pick her up for you.
But my condition is that he must go with me, too.
Me?
I heard a K&K insider say that Han Shangyan seems to have a girlfriend.
When did that happen?
Probably in the past few days?
Tong Nian! Come here for a second.
- What's up? - Are you busy right now?
I'm overseeing them as they self-study.
Have you forgotten something today?
- What did I forget? - I just knew you'd forget.
Can you come out to talk for a moment?
Then, hold on a second.
Later, when class ends, you can all leave on your own.
But during self-study, you must be quiet!
