You didn't come home last night.
I called and you didn't answer your phone.
I'm talking to you.
Impolite.
I will go cook for you.
I shouldn't have said that.
That wasn't what I meant.
[Your message was sent, but the receiver rejected it.]

[Liang You'an]
Hello?
We're all sober and safe. Don't worry.
We can even go and play a match!
East China Pegasus wants us to register our information.
Go on then.
Why must you tell me everything? Are you a 3-year-old child?
Do I need to hold your hand and go with you?
What the heck?
I thought you would be happy to hear this.
I even went ahead of others to tell this good news to you!
Why are you scolding me?
Okay. You guys achieved this on your own.
I'm happy for you guys.
When you go, remember to tell Song Sanchuan to go along with you.
We did. He didn't answer.
Maybe he hasn't woken up from the alcohol.
Okay.
Contact Jiang Jiaojiao to register your information. We can play in the match.
Fresh from the pot and ready to eat.
You...
Don't add too much. The sauce is salty.
Didn't listen to me. Seriously.
Hey, hey!
I only prepared two bowls. You...
[Nova Media Monthly Data Ranking List]
You two, using the CP ranking, you don't even reach the top 20.
Looking at individual rankings, you aren't even in the top 30.
Liang Tao is relatively better.
Relying on that energy drink drinking contest to stay afloat.
It's still not that bad is it, Sister KK?
We gained a lot more fans after that tennis match.
A quick increase in fans is a double-edged sword.
When you gain more attention, you have to follow up with more content.
If you can't catch up, your fans will ditch you really quickly, too.
Look at it yourself. You've been unsubscribed a lot recently. Right?
I hope you two will wake up.
Are you making the energy drink popular, or is the energy drink making you popular?
When their new products are released,
the audience's focus switches to their platform.
Who will still remember you two?
That's not it, Sister KK.
It's too fast to follow the trends now.
A lot of people are copying our model of a sports couple.
This is the internet.
When you create popular content, people follow suit.
So I hope you two will expend your imagination and creativity.
Be positive and proactive.
Or what's waiting for you is a loss in followers, being forgotten and dismissed.
Do you want that kind of result?
Liang Tao, your nose... should be smaller.
You have space for improvement.
Do you want to consider adjusting it?
I don't want to. I like what my mom gave me.
Don't decide too soon.
I recommend you find a plastic surgeon and speak with them.
After all, an influencer like you relies on their pretty face.
Liang Tao! Time for breakfast.
Coming, Mom!
I did some research, Liang Tao.
A platform with as many fans as you have,
can easily make 30,000 or 40,000 yuan per month.
You only give me 2,000 for living expenses.
Where's the rest?
Those people that you hear about, they either do ads for illegal products,
or else privately eat with guys and receive gifts.
I work on my platform properly. If I do well, I earn up to 10,000.
If things don't go well, they deduct my money for poor performance.
But it's still not a small amount.
- Where's the money? - Spent it.
Don't I have to buy outfits, materials, and things?
I asked you to give the money to me, so I can save it for you.
I'm not trying to take it for myself.
You're a girl. You still need to keep some savings for yourself.
Or you'll be at a disadvantage when you get married.
Your mother, me, is a living example. Why don't you get it?
Thinking about it, a lot of guys courted me back in the day.
Not sure why I got confused
and fell into Liang Shu's trap.
I'm telling you.
What's the most reliable? Your own abilities.
Once you have the ability to support yourself, you won't get tricked by men.
Are you listening to what I'm saying?
This child.
You can't achieve anything, but make Liang You'an and her mom laugh at you all day.
Mom, that's enough!
If you're not scolding Dad, you're looking down on me. You're not the only one having a tough time in this family!
We're all having a tough time. What's the point of living our lives, then?
Get in there!
Oh my.
Why are you bare footed?
What does it have to do with you?
Did your boyfriend bully you?
No. I just left home to cool off.
Did you fight with your parents?
Parents...
are sometimes nice, but sometimes also really annoying.
Don't worry about it too much.
Why are you playing tennis here? Got fired?
Are you kidding? I'm the No.1 seed player in our club.
There's no way they'll fire me, even if the club is closed down.
Let me tell you. Our team went out to play a match the other day.
We totally killed them!
- But... the club was indeed closed down. - What?
So, Liang You'an lost all your jobs?
How's that possible?
The tennis club is gone, but not the people.
I've played tennis for so many years.
I now understand what it means by "team spirit."
Even though we're practicing in temporary tennis courts every day, and it's not ideal,
but we're all united. Every day we feel the blood surging through us.
Jiaojiao!
We can't play on this court anymore. Their players decided to extend their training hours on the spot.
Check the group chat message and see where else we can go.
Okay.
I've only heard of dummy companies.
Never seen a dummy tennis team. How pathetic.
Goodbye! Find a tennis court soon!
Go fix your slipper!
Why are you not feeling well again?
Caught a cold!
I bought cold medicine for you and put it in the cabinet. Remember to take it.
It's better to have some cold medicine at home.
Understand?
Got it!
Okay, understood!
Unnecessary!
There's no need for you to make it a pair.
Why did you start drawing this?
Grinding ink, expanding the paper, raising your brush, and thinking about what to draw.
A whole morning's effort is only enough to draw a few shrimp.
One shrimp takes half an hour, then the time has passed.
Are you feeling bored being alone?
Do you know, when I was drawing the five shrimp this morning,
what my old sisters were doing?
Sending their grandchildren to school, that's the luckiest already.
Or at home taking care of those grandchildren who ask for everything.
While also serving their old husbands.
The most unfortunate is your Aunt Wang.
Her son doesn't even go to work.
He stays at home all day, relying on his old parents.
- Wake up! - Stop bothering me!
Why are you sleeping in the middle of the day?
You'll wake up in the middle of the night like this! You want to keep watch over the moon?
I can do whatever I want! Not even God can control me!
Isn't it just heartbreak? It's been three days already, is this necessary?
If you can turn into an ostrich, that'd be great.
If you can't, then get up!
I'm going to air this out.
[Fifth "Elite Cup" Tennis Schedule]
[Song Sanchuan has turned on friend verification, you are not their friend, please send a request...]
You never thought that way before.
Th-Thought what?
I drew a single shrimp, and you want to make it a pair.
What? Is there someone you like?
After your relationship ended with that guy from the university,
we've never talked about this.
All these years, I've always been telling you...
"Don't fall in love, don't get married. It's nothing but a waste of time."
But if you really found someone, you won't tell me.
Mom, I have something I've wanted to ask you.
Do you really want me to stay single forever?
Or is it the same as not giving birth to a child, where you're always saying, "Don't have one."
Last time, when I was sick and had to go get surgery, you were worried I couldn't get pregnant afterward.
Isn't it good being single?
If you're alone, your work, your life, and your friends are all up to you.
You do whatever makes you happy. It doesn't matter.
But if you have to find someone, it means you're giving yourself to someone else to judge.
In the beginning, it's you're happy, they're happy, everyone's good.
But as time passes, you discover you're not suited for each other,
then it's not just about being hurt.
This is purely based on your own pessimism from your experiences.
There are healthy relationships, too.
Two people nurturing each other.
Even if one day you break up
and you carry a shadow of the other person,
it's still a positive shadow.
You give me an example.
Do you know of one?
If you're obsessed with happiness that only lasts for a while, you may have to suffer greater pain in the future.
Think about that college love you had.
What did you get in the end?
A Certificate of Incomplete Study.

Song Sanchuan is ignoring me.
Song Sanchuan is ignoring you?
Didn't you say you two, the other night...
I was just willful for a moment.
There's a saying that says "indulging in lust is like hanging a knife above your head."
That knife? I stabbed him in the head with it.
Great, now he has blocked me.
He even said he's not going to play tennis anymore.
I-I don't understand.
How did this go downhill to the point of being blocked?
I just wanted to dilute the situation, you know?
So I said... I said it's because we got drunk,
drank too much, and it went to our heads.
We can't take it for real.
Are you crazy?
Why did you say that?
Besides, a-are you that kind of person?
You liked Nate and you still threw him out!
Why did you say such hurtful words?
- Are you trying to be a jerk? - Enough.
I don't know! I don't know! I was out of my mind. Okay?
I just yak, yak, yak and suddenly said a lot of things.
Until I realized what I said and wanted to shut up, I realized I said everything that I shouldn't have.
Liang You'an, have you gotten scared?
Do you know what your problem is?
You always hide behind all your nonsensical theories.
Just to hang in there and not fall for him.
But for you and him to get to that stage,
I'm really happy for you, honey!
You've just suffered from too many bad relationships.
Remember the black room you told me about before?
It doesn't eat people.
Walking in doesn't mean there are only 100 ways to die.
What should you believe in right now?
You should believe that the room like that exists!
The moment you go in, the light lights up and hey!
What was I doing before?!
Why didn't I come in earlier?
Right?
We've known each other for so many years.
I have the right to say something.
Look at how much better you've become in these six months.
You even had the courage to confront Jiang Jie.
You threw away a great job opportunity like trash.
Last year, would you have thought you'd do all this this year?
Because I met Song Sanchuan this year.
See?
You know better than anyone why you've changed.
Why do you insist on fighting it?
- Don't be so flustered. - That's who I am.
Liang Tao.
I can't remember how many times I've talked to you lately.
Have you seen your numbers?
Are you not in a rush to become popular?
Followers, viewers, conversion... you have none of them.
I asked you to do plastic surgery before, but you refused.
Fine, no problem.
Then you should do something that can prove yourself.
I've worked hard to produce videos.
The topics I've selected, the cadence of my editing,
the subtitles and visual effects, are all carefully crafted.
Let's do a calculation. All your hot videos,
swimming pool, energy drink competition, and the Japanese restaurant.
Which of these got popular because of the quality of the video? None of them.
So your secret to success, is to create novel videos that make people curious.
Be it something dramatic, jaw-dropping... anything will do!
How are you privately? How good? How traditional? I don't care.
But you have to act it out in the videos.
I signed you because I think you present well.
Not because you can edit videos. Do you understand?
I bought this for you.
I can't drink this water.
- What do you mean? - What are you pretending for?
I saw you with Sister KK just now.
Pretending? I'm not.
We both get what we want, don't we?
Is something wrong with you?
You know she has a family.
You know the relationship between you two.
Think what you want.
I'm not as proud as you, dreaming about achieving success all by myself.
If I can get to her,
then my resources will be better than now.
My career path will go more smoothly, too.
You're rather direct.
If you had thought this out so clearly, then why be a CP with me?
Well, I didn't expect you to pretend to be aloof all the time.
You want more viewers, but aren't willing to do anything indecent.
You think that based on your natural looks,
with some videos, that you really can become popular.
As someone taking a shortcut, you're judging me from a moral high ground?
Liang Tao, it's fine if you don't approve of my ways.
Stay in this pool for another two years,
your bottom line may be even lower than mine.
Sorry, my period came.
I can't record today. Do it yourself.
I watched the balls being served one at a time,
hitting the ground, bouncing up,
and being hit again. I think living this kind of day is very realistic.
Look at you. Working on your livestream.
Is it worth it just to attract those viewers and followers?
I think you've been hanging out with this kind of person for too long. You're not thinking clearly.
I signed you because I think you present well.
Not because you can edit videos. Do you understand?
It's fine if you don't approve of my ways.
Stay in this pool for another two years,
Your bottom line may be even lower than mine.
Why is it so hard for you to buy something for me?
You're not even willing to spend a few hundred yuan on me.
You and Liang Tao are both ungrateful!
Here you are.
What are you doing?
Honestly, I think one of us must have died at the other's hands in our past life.
I'm sure it's you who died in my hands.
I don't usually play this.
I wanted a change today.
At this time, why aren't you live streaming?
Isn't it time for you two to pretend to be in love?
You've been paying close attention to me.
A low-end internet cafe like this doesn't seem to fit you.
I don't want to go home.
We finally have something in common.
Me too.
Did you eat?
My treat.
Let's go!
Here. Try it.
I thought what problem could it be?
At this age and your parents are getting divorced.
- You can't live anymore because of that? - I'm pissed!
To have as selfish of a father as mine.
I asked around already.
It wasn't a big deal at all. And he sold the club immediately.
In his eyes, only his own career is a career.
Then that's right.
Aren't you surviving off your dad anyway?
If you can't be financially independent, then you can't be independent at all.
You've just been born with too many good things.
When one little thing goes wrong, you can't stand it.
Me? I started low to begin with.
Every day when I wake up, it's 20/80.
80% is bad, and 20% is good.
If my day is bad, I just get through it. If my day is good, then I enjoy my fortune.
Aren't you also just saying that?
It's just a fake CP.
Aren't you also here escaping reality?
But it's a good thing.
Here. Let's toast to coming back to reality.
You're now one step closer.
Come on.
You reminded me.
I have to deserve your celebration.
[End of the Ke Tao Couple Era! This account will stop updating from today.]
Awesome! Courageous!
You took care of yourself.
I'll go home right now to take care of my dad!
I hope we can reach an agreement today.
This divorce. Are you going to agree to it or not?
I just don't understand.
Why do we have to get a divorce?
Because I don't want to act anymore.
You said all women want to find a man who has a career and cares for the family,
but it's really hard to find one. Yet you did it.
You acted really well.
It's just that in this play, my acting was terrible.
So stop.
I don't want this false happiness to be with me for the rest of my life.
I agree!
Dad, didn't you say that I'm always useless?
I got the offer and still didn't want to go abroad to study.
I'll tell you the reason today.
I saw who you were then. If I left home back then,
then our family would've been over!
Do you two think I'm like an idiot? Not knowing anything.
I even know that my mother was taking anti-depression medicine.
I had thought staying all these years would help me keep this family together.
But now, I feel I've wasted a few more Ms. Chen's years.
Dad, sign it.
My mom had enough of you a long time ago.
[Divorce Agreement]
Old An, what's up?
You argued with Chuan'er again?
Who cares about him?
Uncle.
I left home.
Can you take me in for two days?
What's wrong?
The girl said if you get too many good ones, you need a few bad ones to balance it out.
She even said that you can't be strong, if you're not financially independent.
Then I thought it through.
Starting tomorrow I'll practice hard, we'll meet on the tennis court.
What about you?
You really don't want to go to the competition?
Did we drink that day for nothing then?
Did Liang You'an give up her dignity before that jerk for nothing?
What happened to you two after you drank?
How did you two fall out?
Stop touching your head and talk.
You can sleep on the couch.
Well... the competition is coming up soon.
Why don't you take the team? I won't be going.
No wait. Why am I taking the team?
You're the team captain.
How can you not go to such an important competition just like that?
You haven't participated in practice these days either.
You don't even know that Liang You'an hasn't rested for a single day!
Everyday she goes around looking for investors and venues.
She does it so it doesn't delay our training before the competition!
Did you eat yet?
How about I make something for you? Okay?
No. Stop interrupting me.
Sit, sit, sit.
Think about it.
Even though our points will go to East Pegasus,
but the scores are ours.
This is your first official match after transitioning from badminton to tennis.
Why give up now?
I've played tennis for so long.
Before Liang You'an got here, to be honest, I didn't think I could achieve anything.
But now look!
Even Chen Zhe wants to practice hard and get the championship.
Was it easy for us to get to where we are today?
Why are you dropping out?
Our problem...
You don't understand.
No. I don't know who did what or irritated whom.
I don't want to care either.
But, Song Sanchuan, because things are either good or bad, you're just going to give up on the competition?
You deserve to be looked down upon by others!
Anyway, I thought it through already.
We have to at least get the Group B championship on this tour.
With your level, we should be able to get a lower level trophy. Right?
We fought for this long, wasn't it all for this?
Think hard about it.
Go to sleep.
I'm talking to you. You're not listening again.
- Kiddo. - Uncle.
Sleep well here.
- Are you hungry? - No.
I'll go make a bowl of noodles for you.
What? Why does the whole family never listen?
Do I not speak clearly?
Ha. 1, 2, 3.
Do I not speak clearly enough?
[An Cong Wig Shop]
Wake up. Do you know what time it is?
- Coach Yan said we'll be doing a special training today to prepare for the tournament. - Stop bugging me! I'm sleeping!
Hurry up! We couldn't get a training venue in town today.
We have to take a bus to the suburbs to practice!
What are you doing?
Don't bother me! Didn't I say I'm sleeping?!
Stubborn as that.
Come on.
It's right here.
Manager Liang, it's such an isolated court.
How did you find it?
The good courts in town are hard to get.
The tournament is about to start. We have to ensure that we get enough training as planned.
Thank you for your efforts. You can do it!
Fine. The hard days aren't over yet.
Where is Sanchuan? He still isn't coming to practice?
Can't convince him.
Why is he going crazy?
Is he completely giving up?
Let's change clothes first.
In a bit, run ten laps around the court.
Why are you standing there?
Where's Jiaojiao?
- Why isn't he awake yet? - Look at the time!
He left a long time ago!
I...
So outrageous.
He was never like this before.
He didn't even ask me to join.
Sorry! Sorry!
- What are you doing? - Sorry, my hand trembled.
Wh-Where are you going?
You want to know where we're going to practice?
Let me ask you again. Do you want to come or not?
No, no, no! I said no and you're still asking!
Song Sanchuan, forget I asked!
Can't you just drag me to the court?
You're itching to join him, aren't you?
Go chase him! It's not too late.
You're the one who's itchy! Your whole family is itchy!
