Welcome back to Shanghai Share Life!
We're sponsored by the exercise app KEEP.
KEEP makes burning fat happier!
In the last episode, there was a drastic
change in our members.
We've got a new member coming.
She likes to exercise and drink wine.
Looking at the way she does her makeup,
it seems like she has been working in her
field for a long time.
A career-driven woman.
Alright, let's watch and find out
who's this new friend.
Chen Liu Ming, 26 years
Boutique Investment Banker
I'm about to arrive to this house
where I will be filmed...
[panelist 1] So elegant!
[panelist 2] Elegant! Fashion!
[panelist 3] Wow, nice figure!

There's even a little red car!
Well let's see,

Who's there?
-Hello!

-Ah, hello.
I'm filming a Vlog right now,
wanna say hi to my viewers?
... Hello everyone...
I thought my delivery order arrived.
-Let me take that.
-Thank you.
Please come on in.
Episode 14, Week 7
"Love Falls From the Sky"
[panelist] Love falls from the sky?
[panelist] Nice! This is my favorite!
-Wow... so cute!
-This is my dog.
-Yours?
-Yup, the name is Erlang.
- Erlang? My cat's name is Ermao!
[Er Mao = "Two Fur"]
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
-Boy?
-Yup.
[baby voice] Hello there!!
So cute!
Come with big sis!
-I'm gonna put your luggage here, okay?
-Sure.
-He's so cute!
-Feel free to sit.
I'm gonna tidy up a bit...
Gimme a second.
[baby voice] Hello!
-Please sit.
-Okay!
My name is Liu Ming, as in
"Liu An Hua Ming" (a Chinese idiom)
I'm Liu Ke Li, Ke as in "Ke Yi",
Li as in "Li Liang".
The pup is listening so intently!
That's so cute.
Yeah?
-I'm gonna go put my stuff away
-Go ahead.
-You just wait for me a bit.
-Okay.
[to Erlang] Play with me baby!
[panelist] He went to change!
-Sorry about that.
-Why'd you change?
I was working out
and I got kind of sweaty.
Don't worry, we're just at home!
Yeah?
-I want to walk him!
-Sure.
-I'm walking him later, wanna come?
-Sure, let's go together.
-Let me show you around.
-Sure.
-It's show time.
-Yep.
-So the boys' room is downstairs.
-Yeah and the girls' room is upstairs.
Okay!
Chu Mengna (Nana)
Student, 22 years old
Wang Tianqi
Salesperson, 26 years old
Wu Kawen (Carmon)
Designer, 29 years old
Liu Keli (Curry)
Entrepreneur, 29 years old
Li Xing (Hao)
Professional Manager, 35 years old
Chen Liuming (Ming)
Financial Advisor, 27 years old
Hey, you look pretty good
on that scooter today.
True. But I think you look better.
I'm speeding up now!
-You actually caught up.
-Do I win a prize?
-Isn't your prize at home?
-Oh, you mean dinner?
There's tomatoes.
And eggs, green peppers, and pig liver.
So eggs and tomatoes then?
I guess that's our only option.
-What do you want?
-I'm fine with whatever. You choose.
Is Teacher Liu back?
-It's so nice out today.
-Seriously.
-Here, give me that. Take your shoes off.
-He's with someone!
Who's he talking to?
Not Carmon, she's upstairs...
-I hear high heels.
-Something's happening!
-Teacher Liu looks a little...
-Hello!
-Hello!
-Hello!
-Our new roommate!
-New roommate!
-Chen Liuming
-Hi everyone, I'm Ming!
So pretty!
This is one of the roommates in the
girls' dorm. Her name's Nana.
Hi there.
-And this is Tianqi, from the boys' dorm.
-Hi.
Sit down, sit down.
I was just working out at home today, and
I really thought she was the takeout guy.
Because you know how you all went out?
And I was just home by myself.
Yeah, and then--
I rang the doorbell, and he was...
the look on his face...
I was caught off guard.
-You guys match.
Your clothes kind of match.
-No--
-Very business-like.
-No--
-Well, I don't get to dress up much.
-Really, you're so dressed up today.
-A rare sight.
I've never seen you look so...
Nice.
-Alright, you all sit and chat.
-Ok.
Ok, and I'm gonna go make dinner.
Wait, let me go get Carmon.
Carmon!
Curry has a huge smile. He's so happy.
He's happy.
So happy. "My time has come!"
Hurry! Our new roommate's here!
Hurry hurry!
-Hello!
-Hi, I'm Ming!
-Hi! I'm Carmon.
-Hi!
-Let's shake hands.
-Ok.
-Business handshake!
-Hello!
-And you too, hello!
-You too.
This handshake's like a pact
or something.
I was gonna hug everyone, but I
didn't want to scare people.
Alright then, you all sit and talk.
Alright? I'm going to cook.
Your status in this house is kind of low.
No, no, they're all gonna help me later.
-Yes, this is our head chef.
-Got it.
Come here! Come join us.
Ok.
-You sit in the center.
-Ok.
-Where are you from?
-My father's from Szechuan.
-Teacher Liu's from Szechuan.
-Yeah.
You know, I've never seen Teacher Liu...
I feel like I've never seen him so...
-Was he wearing a button-down today?
-Yes!
-Has he ever done that?
-No!
I thought he was just like this.
-No no no.
-What is he normally like?
Normally?
Just...not that fancy.
Not that dressed up.
What kind of guys do you like?
That question... that didn't take long!
Do you like athletic guys?
Like, guys with abs.
Yes, I like that.
A guy who's more built.
So...do you like guys with dogs?
Do you like guys who cook?
[panelist] He's hearing all of this.
[panelist] He's enjoying it.
So, do you like guys who can make
Szechuan food?
Not giving her a way out, huh?
Carmon!
I'm good with it. I want to learn how
to cook too, actually.
You're making me sweat. I have to
wipe myself.
I feel like I'm walking into a trap.
Really, as soon as I saw you two I felt
like you really...fit. You really do.
Right?
Um...ok.
-We probably shouldn't say this.
-No, we shouldn't.
Just let them go with the flow.
-We...really don't need to help?
-He's going to call us in a bit.
When Teacher Liu cooks, he has a very
particular system.
-Yes.
-So he kind of does it until
it's too much, and then he calls you?
Nice.
You really outdid yourself!
Of course, I had to!
-Carmon! Wash two plates!
-Ok.
-Bigger ones.
-Here.
-Big ones?
-Yeah, two big plates.
How about a drink tonight? I brought
a bottle of champagne.
A toast for my first day!
-Ok.
-I'll get glasses.
-Champagne is my weakness.
-Oh yeah?
Is it a good weakness or a bad
weakness?
-A bad weakness.
-I guess I chose well then.
-Wait, let it--
-Is this the kind that "pops"?
Yeah. Let it settle first,
I think I rattled it just now.
-Here.
-Here, head chef.
Leave it to me.
Careful-- your clothes.
Yay!
-It's better when it sprays a bit.
-Thank you all!
-Welcome, Ming!
-Here, here.
Here's to our time living together, hope
it'll go well!
-Great.
-Here's to many more meals like this!
-Yes!
-Please make more meals like this.
-Let's dig in, go ahead.
-Ok.
-Eat the pork liver before it gets cold.
-Ok.
I'll try this.
-It's good?
-Really good.
-So tender!
-Yeah?
Brother Hao says he's mad, where's
his special dinner? You guys are too much.
So he's running his own business?
He's already...his busiest days
are over.
He just lies on the couch all day
watching cash roll in.
Financially independent.
-Right.
-That's awesome.
But he's actually pretty young, right?
Not that much older than us?
Hao is thirty... thirty-six.
-Yeah.
-Born in 1985.
What about his personality? What
is he like?
-Really warm. Kind.
-Attentive, thoughtful.
-What's his horoscope?
-Scorpio.
You should eat more of this pork liver,
it's a good source of iron.
You're so sweet.
I'm saying you should all eat more,
everyone should have some more.
-We know.
-I appreciate everyone's support.
What's your horoscope?
Me? Leo.
I'm a Leo rising.
Wouldn't two Lions (Leos)
just fight each other?
I mean, in the zoo they
put lions together.
-I have nothing to say to that.
-Ziqi's reasoning is so funny.
-You guys eat the spam, I can't eat spam.
-Spam...
-Do you want some spam?
-Yeah.
-Here.
-Is spam too fattening for you?
Yeah, my body type gains
weight easily. Really easily.
If I'm not careful, I could basically
gain weight by just drinking water.
Do you guys exercise? Besides--
Teacher Liu exercises.
And he has an eight-pack.
I know, I shouldn't have made that face.
No, just-- We're eating dinner.
Can you please be appropriate?
Ok, ok, I'll toast to you. Here.
So his eight-pack, this is...
verified? You have seen this?
-No, no.
-On WeChat.
I was messing with you guys, I'm sorry.
My bad.
-I'm adding you on WeChat.
-No, no, I'm messing with them.
I'm always messing with them,
all the time. At this point they just
believe everything I say.
-Don't get flustered, it's okay.
-We've all seen it lots of times.
So the eight-pack is real.
No, no, no. It's really not.
It's a one-pack.
Why don't the two of us clean up?
-Go ahead, go ahead.
-Us three.
No, no, Carmon's eating. Carmon--
Why don't you two "kiss"?
[T/N: a pun on "clean up"]
"Clean up!" Not "kiss!"
-"Clean up!"
-Ok, ok.
Are you full?
Let's go 1v1.
-Ok, let's go.
-Go.
-We're going to go.
-Play ball.
-Yeah. I'm gonna PK with him.
-Bye.
-Bye! Eat up!
-Ok.
-Enjoy!
-Alright.
Carmon, you'll have some champagne?
I'm going to dry my clothes now. Bye!
-You're really something.
-Bye!
-Ok ok ok.
This scene.
-Look at Carmon running away smiling.
-Carmon's so cute.
Nana was a matchmaker in a past life.
Those two are such kids.
No worries, no worries, the two of
us can eat. Bottom's up?
-Bottom's up, seriously?
-Then let's drink half, ok?
-Your drinking is scaring me. One sip.
-Ok.
Are they usually like this?
-Usually...
-Have they given you this...
awkward matchmaking treatment before?
Never. never. This is probably the
first time since we all moved in.
They probably feel like I'm usually
the one taking care of them.
And so today they wanted
to do something special for once.
So, you've been working so hard, and
they finally wanted to reward you.
-No...
-That sounds kind of weird.
No, because to them I've always been like,
what do you call it...
-Their mentor.
-I guess you could say that.
Does anyone mentor you?
-Actually, I...
-Don't have problems.
Yes. Well, I just haven't run into
any romantic difficulties since moving in.
So actually, when we first moved in, we
all had to answer a few questions.
Like about our romantic types,
or about our feelings towards
other people in the group.
So you...
-No, don't laugh!
-I'm getting the third degree here.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Then I'll ask you in the order
that I just said, ok?
What is your romantic type?
Let me drink some more.
This is all really sudden.
-I'll drink with you.
-I...actually don't have...
I was just telling my friend the other
day, that if you looked at all my exes...
you'd think...
-So you have a lot.
-I do okay.
-Ok.
They're all pretty different.
All unique.
Comparing their height, or their
aesthetic, they all look very different.
And so I asked my friend if she thought
they all had anything in common.
She said probably intelligence. I thought
about it and I think she's right.
My type might be...guys who are smart,
know what they want. And who are kind.
And you?
Actually when you said kind, I think
I can really understand that.
And that's because kindness is the #1
thing I'm looking for in my other half.
For example, how she treats parents. And
how we face conflict as husband and wife.
I mean, as a pair. As a couple. How we
treat each other when we're in conflict.
Also, moreover, when it comes to the
future. How to raise kids, and treat them.
In that, I think kindness matters
most of all.
-It's really important.
-Yes.
I feel like you're like someone
far beyond your years.
Most people our age aren't really
thinking about marriage.
You're right about my age, well,
let's say--
I'm older mentally, in my mentality.
Actually, before I moved in here
to tell the truth, I had plans
to get married at the end of the year.
-But...
-But...
To be honest the two of us as a couple
weren't ready to take
that next step, we just weren't ready.
So we split up.
How long were you together?
We lived together for a year and a half.
I...I actually was engaged to be
married by now.
I was supposed to sign
the certificate on March 16th.
But like, three or four days before that
day, we broke up.
Why?
I won't say it.
-Okay, okay.
-But we'd dated for nine years.
Actually the two of us are in the same
boat. Right? Cheers.
Interesting.
I think this is my first time talking
about this.
Yeah I really didn't think I'd be telling
someone this on my first night here.
-Have a glass.
-Oh no, no...I'm just getting some water.
Excuse me.
-Teacher Liu?
-What?
-Who's on dishes tonight?
-It's not me.
-Oh, then who?
-Did you like the food tonight?
-Top notch.
-Ok, then we know who's on dishes.
-Who?
-The top notch person.
Shouldn't a certain someone
be making a good impression today?
How about this? Even though the chef
technically never does dishes,
today the chef can make an exception.
-Let's do them together.
-Ok.
Ok, how about this. Tonight,
I'll do them, okay?
It's just, there's this thing,
I'll tell you about it later.
-Ok.
-What thing??
-What are you talking about?
-Oh then uh...
-Ok, I'll wait for it.
-We'll take it slow.
Here.
He never wanted to help Nana wash
dishes before, but now he wants to help.
That's the "thing" Nana's talking about.
The day he waited all day to scold
her for the dishes.
For Curry, the act of washing dishes
is like a confession of love.
A ceremonial act.
Everyone's different. Some people do the
hugging thing, some people make noodles.
Curry's act is washing the dishes.
But do you guys think Curry
likes this girl, this Ming?
-He does!
-It's obvious!
But I don't think this woman is very...
impressed.
Agreed, I don't think she'll like Curry.
She's probably more interested in Hao.
She keeps asking about him.
Hard to say. But what I noticed about
this girl is that
coming from a nine-year relationship,
and her professional background...
She's out of Curry's league.
-Yeah, kind of...
-Yeah.
She's probably been around lots of
"established" men.
-Yes.
-I'm almost afraid she'll fall for Tianqi.
-So innocent for a twenty-six year old!
"He's almost the same age as me!
How is he still so pure??"
"It's like he's never worked a day
in his life!"
This group in Shanghai Share Life
really...has a way of silently conniving.
Yes.
They're all hyper aware. Right after
dinner, everyone just vanished.
A plot's under way.
Not a word of chit chat.
They all just left.
Left those two alone.
And this new girl's got skills. Curry just
opened right up to her.
This is a mature adult right here,
we rarely see someone like this.
Well, we really don't know her yet.
What kind of person she is.
-We don't know Hao very well yet either.
-Right.
-Yeah.
-And they don't really have flaws.
They haven't shown any weaknesses.
They're like these perfect people so far.
-Yeah.
-I'm waiting for her to be a real person.
-Right.
-I think she will.
I'm waiting too.
Because right now she's just giving
off this professional persona.
Look at her clothes -- they don't fit in
at the house at all.
Yeah, that's the kind of outfit you'd
wear to a banquet or a business dinner.
-But that might just be how she dresses.
-She can't dress like that at home, right?
-Her hair can't be that styled every day!
-Yeah, her hair is a little too styled.
Yeah, she should change into something
comfier. It might change her demeanor.
-Yeah.
-We're excited to see that. Let's watch.
Watch Curry's romance.
Is it finally time?
Are you still settling in?
It's pretty good!
-Did you bring everything you need?
-Yeah, I brought it all.
If you forgot anything, you can
ask us two for anything.
Okay.
Wow, so comfy. I haven't slept in a bed
like this since I graduated college.
Me too.
-Ming, let's go down and talk for a bit.
-Sure, sure.
-I feel like I can't hear you clearly.
-Got it.
-I'm gonna sit here.
-Anywhere's good!
That meal tonight was so good.
-It was really good.
-Amazing, really amazing.
But I feel like you can't eat
Sichuan food every day.
Let him learn to cook other dishes.
So Teacher Liu hasn't had any
relationships on the show before? Nothing?
- Nothing.
- Why not?
-It wouldn't work.
-None of us are Teacher Liu's type.
What kind of standards does he have?
I didn't ask today
What kind of girls does he like?
-Girls like you.
-No!
-It's true.
-Really?
What would he say before?
Actually, we haven't really had deep
conversations about that with him.
So it's not clear to me what
his answer would be.
But we've known him for so long,
So I think his type is someone
more mature and more feminine.
So what is your ideal guy like?
All of your eyes lit up just now.
I like... the type that knows
what they want,
and also likes to be active,
and also someone who can
take care of themselves.
So what about Teacher Liu?
Oh, I just remembered.
So you know how tonight, Teacher Liu was
kind of...
unexpectedly willing to take on the
chore of washing dishes...
You know?
- He never washes dishes?
- Never!
Man, I'm drunk.
[panelist] He feels wronged...
He even changed his shirt.
[panelist] Still smiling
as he washes!
Do you wait for the guy to confess?
Or do you take the initiative?
Depends on how I feel.
I actually don't think there's anything
wrong with girls taking initiative.
-Just confidently pursue what you want.
-Yeah.
I'm also like the kind where,
if I like the guy,
I'll... I'll make him feel like
he made the moves.
But it really was me...
like I've already given him the words.
Like a circle has already been drawn,
and you let him jump into it.
-Exactly.
-Wow, that's so cool.
-Then how do you give them the words?
-Right.
-I'm also curious.
-[panelist] She wants to learn!
So a lot of the time, the reason why
the guy doesn't confess
isn't because he doesn't like you enough.
He's just not sure if you like him too.
Because everyone is shy now.
So you're saying you need to let him know.
Right. "I like you too, I want you to
like me the way I like you."
That gives him the courage to confess.
How do you finesse that? Because it could
turn into you just confessing.
-Right.
-I think....
Small movements, or choice words...
For example, if he likes something,
and you just happen to give him that...
I think guys aren't stupid either,
just tell him in the small details.
After doing it a few times, you'll know if
the two of you have that kind of rapport.
-That kind of back and forth.
-Right, right.
Then you can put those words in his mouth.
Like that.
Throw the rope out.
-It suddenly feels like this is a class.
-Gotta study hard.
-You're amazing.
Gotta write it down in
my little notebook.
What kind of guys do you two like?
-I have no idea.
-Just... just watch the show.
-You, I know.
-Oh? So what kind do I like?
[panelist] Hao's back.
[panelist] The other suitor is back!
Yeah.
-Hello there, hello, I'm back.
-Brother Hao!
Yes, long time no see.
-Back from a business trip?
-Yep yep.
You look pretty different
when you're wearing a suit.
Really?
Just came back from a meeting.
How's it been at home these past two days?
Oh yeah, we have a new housemate!
Oh, the new housemate is here!
Awesome. How are they?
-Just very beautiful.
-Really beautiful?
-Very nice.
And it feels like she's a good match
with Teacher Liu.
He's trying hard!
Trying hard? In what way?
Can you imagine him cooking
in a collared shirt?
His hair too, his hair
was really different.
Yeah, yeah.
Why didn't I get that treatment
when I came?
You'll have to ask Teacher Liu.
He's in trouble.
I'm gonna interrogate him later.
I feel that the two of them have
good vibes, and they drank late.
-Drinking late!
-Probably a good conversation.
That's so fun.
I'll ask them about it later.
-You should.
-I'll ask him.
-You're back.
-Bro!
You're glowing today, feels like
you're happy about something.
What? No.
I heard you were really
handsome yesterday.
Really?
Yeah.
Wearing a nice shirt just to cook.
No, no.
Did you cook for everyone?
Or like, who did you cook for?
It was for everyone.
For everyone?
Yes.
Why don't you cook when I'm home?
That day you were at home,
weren't you busy?
Oh, I was busy? Sorry, sorry.
No travel for a couple days?
Gonna rest at home, no trips.
Nice. Then I'll make it up to you.
You better.
Best if you wear a nice shirt.
We have a new housemate, did you know?
Caught your eye?
Uh, it's good.
Pretty good huh?
Heard you were up late last night
talking. And drinking.
Uh, a little drink.
A little drink?
Yep.
A little drink until when?
Probably until around 10PM yesterday.
Around then.
She also works in finance.
Really?
Same as you. Same industry.
What??
No no, you seem really different,
really happy!
-I feel like...
-No...
I feel like you've got a sweet feeling.
I heard she's really beautiful.
-Did you hear that?
-Yeah.
You'll know when you see it.
Should I show you photos?
Sure, great, great.
Let me show you.
I think she's pretty sporty.
You can see she's rowing, skateboarding.
So this is the type you like?
No!
-Do you like this kind of body figure?
-It's very attractive.
Great, great, great.
-I also think she's pretty good.
-Yeah.
-Very sunny.
-Very European, American style.
Yeah, she's kind of like....
She has more of a Western girl's
personality.
But she's very independent.
Ok, enough.
So you like her.
-No!
-No?
No, no. Well, she had just moved in.
It's mostly because I was home alone,
no one else was home.
If you guys were home, you'd have
welcomed her just as warmly.
I wouldn't have cooked.
You'd have ordered takeout.
True.
-Hey, bro...
-Yeah?
If she's a finance girl, how do I...
get along with her?
What'll leave a...
good impression on her?
You wanna ask me how to
pursue her. Right?
I guess so.
You're already good at it!
Wearing a suit to cook for people...
No...
This is the real me... covering up
my innermost anxieties.
So that's the real you?
I think it's good to just be yourself.
You're already a really charming,
attractive guy.
It's easiest to be yourself.
I think that... she'll also have a good
impression of you.
-Bro.
It's just...
... the thing with Ming is,
she likes to run marathons.
So amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
Since she likes marathons,
I'd like to train a little too.
You're pretty impressive.
First cooking, now running a marathon.
Is this actively making moves?
No!
I just want to work out more.
Catch up to her speed.
No, no...
I don't think I can catch her.
If I run that marathon,
I'd be dead last.
But you'd have perseverance,
determination, and goals.
Okay, okay.
Well at any rate, I feel like...
two college professors just moved into
the boys and girls' dormitories.
They're giving pointers to the
little kids in the front row.
Yeah, for both the men and women.
Teaching them to do things.
Isn't that what he asked?
He said bro, tell me what I should do.
What should I do about that circle?
I died laughing with the way
Carmon reacted.
When Ming was teaching them
that you want to guide guys
into confessing to you,
she asked a very delicate question.
She said: "how can it be..."
How'd she say it?
How to not make it seem like
you're confessing.
That nuance is difficult, lest
you look like you're confessing.
I think she reacted because of what
happened with Binshen before.
She was "finessed."
Curry was also quite bold.
When he said "let me show you
some pics"
I thought it was going to be like,
a group photo of everyone during the
dinner last night.
-One pic of her face.
-Right!
And it's a swimsuit photo!
And he keeps swiping!
So that's the real Curry.
So when guys hang out together
and swipe on pictures of girls
do you guys ever feel anything in
your heart?
They'll zoom in.
What you said.
It's really rare for one of my friends
to share these kinds of photos.
I'm worked up, swiping so fast
I'm creating sparks,
But I can't find the swimsuit picture.
What a situation.
The most embarrassing thing for him
now is that
as soon as Hao stepped into the house,
everyone told him Ming was Curry's type.
Right. So nobody should do anything silly.
-Just guard your own.
-Everyone guards their own tower.
Let's not do anything messy.
Do we all get it?
I think you two fit perfectly!
You two fit perfectly!
Don't worry about anyone else.
And you two, you two.
There are three clear lanes.
-Exactly.
-It's so clearly split up.
While we recorded the first few episodes,
Yang Li said these people have no purpose.
Now the purpose is too strong.
Their drive is too strong.
Look at Nana and Tianqi.
When someone new comes
they're like, "you're his ideal type."
-Yeah.
-"You guys really match!"
But I think Ming is a really
independent person.
I don't think she'll think Curry is her
only option just because people say it..
-You're right.
-She's never met or seen Hao.
But on Curry's side, he's made it clear
to Hao that he likes Ming.
-Bro.
-What's up, bro? Bro?
Letting you know this is my tower, bro.
It's my tower!
-Ok, but let's not push our crystal ball.
-He just kind of indicated.
But don't you think,
if Hao has a chance to talk to Ming...
I feel like Ming always finds a way.
They have to like each other.
No one can stop them.
They don't have rivals in this house.
Not that no one's stopping it,
but if they find out,
those 4 are all gonna leave.
In the end, the last two will just
take over the whole house.
So I guess we'll see what it's like
when Hao and Ming meet.
That's the last thing
we're waiting on.
Alright. Let's see what happens.
Ha! You're afraid of trouble,
but not me!
Being careless with words
is a good thing.
One day I'll give him a little look.
What did I do?
Impressive.
Hello, hello. Didn't want to disturb you.
You're doing some meditating?
Yes, yes.
So you're Brother Hao?
-That's right, hello.
-Hi.
We finally meet.
Yeah.
I've heard a lot about you already.
You just came back?
Just came back.
Did I disturb you?
No, no it's good. I'm gonna stretch
some more.
It's great to meet you.
-Could I sit down?
-Sit, sit!
I'm gonna be done soon.
Welcome, since I wasn't able
to welcome you yesterday.
Thank you.
And welcome to you too.
We're like two intruders, you know.
They're thick as thieves.
For sure.
I was pretty nervous at first.
-But everyone has been really inviting.
-Really inviting...
To you especially.
I'm sure someone's very
excited about you,
Though I haven't heard
anything specific.
Good, good. You're very welcomed here.
Great.
So I hear you work in finance?
I used to do investments.
Now I've been in the film and TV
technology sector. And you?
I'm doing like, financial advising.
Oh, financial advising. Ok.
My first job was also financial advising.
-Now I'm just doing the consumer market.
-Oh, consumer!
The consumer market is hot right now.
But I feel like your accent is kind of
Hong Kong.
I'm from Guangxi.
Then I worked in Hong Kong (HK)
for a long time.
For 10 years.
-Oh, 10 years.
-Yeah.
-I went to school in HK!
-Oh, really?
Yep, I was at HKUST.
-Oh, HKUST!
-Yep.
-I went to CityU.
Yeah
The scenery on your side is really nice.
We're in the city inside a mall.
Yeah, I've been.
-Oh yeah?
-Yeah.
-To the 3rd floor.
Yeah, it's tiny, really tiny.
So you love sports?
I like it, but I don't do it too often
because I'm usually busy.
There was no way to do what I wanted.
I used to love playing squash.
Playing squash!
I also learned squash in HK.
Yes, because space in HK is so limited,
you can only play squash.
It was like a mandatory class,
but I didn't play very well.
I also played badly.
But it’s pretty fun
and it depletes your energy quickly.
Yeah, it's really high speed.
Shanghai has quite a few good
squash courts.
I didn't even know.
We can all go together.
Great.
Not bad, let's go.
Let's find partners.
This conversation is too mature.
It feels very civil.
But it's good to talk like this at first.
It's so Shanghai.
It's settled then.
Any plans today?
No plans, just resting.
You?
-I might have a meeting later.
-No worries.
I'm just waiting for my laundry.
-Oh, ok.
-Yep.
You'll have to
teach me to use the washer.
No problem, I just learned too.
Great.
-Need help?
-Yes please, thanks.
-Help squeeze it.
-Let me.
Just grab your phone.
-Great.
-Great.
-Thanks!
-Later!
-Ok!
-Bye!
[panelist] Awesome.
[panelist] She and Hao suit each other.
Hello!
-You're back.
-Not bad, not bad.
Your lifestyle's so healthy!
I train before bedtime every day.
I train in the morning
and before going to bed.
I feel like you're tired,
but in good shape.
Thank you.
Erlang!
Your big sis is back!
-Did you just finish?
-Yep just got off work.
So tired.
-Wanna sit?
-Ok, get up.
Erlang!
Let's walk over there! Come on baby.
-Come here.
-Let's go, let's go.
Hey baby.
Lick my hand!
How has work been lately?
It's okay, a bit busy.
How about you?
-Lately...
-Been busy?
Lately I've been wanting to
train for a marathon.
Honestly, how do you train
for a marathon?
Just keep running every day.
Run...
at least seven kilometers.
Try your best.
I'm busy now anyway, so I can't
do it every day either.
If you're interested, we can
try running together.
Okay.
Because running alone is a little boring.
It's better with two people.
-Okay.
-Once, I invited---
Hi, you're here too!
Are you finished exercising?
I'm done.
I feel like you only do 15 minutes
and then you're done.
Resting so soon?
2 days ago I went with Hao,
I just wanted to say that
we could all go for a run.
-Sure, we can bring him along.
-Sure.
Ming, were you busy today?
It was okay.
I'm basically separating the work
related to filming vs. ordinary finances.
But your regular finance job won't
be affected?
-The shoots?
-It will be.
You match them as much as you can.
The firm also knows your situation.
Yeah, my boss OK'ed it.
Since I do consumer goods,
he thinks this is a good role.
I'll do some brand promotion too.
Many companies also want to raise money,
So actually it's all related.
It's linked.
-Right.
-That's great.
Curry's on the side like,
"My abs are great, why don't we discuss
my shoulders or my abs?"
Anyway, career is his weakness.
At the slightest mention of work,
he goes quiet.
Do you guys have any hobbies?
-Rarely.
-And you?
I....
Isn't his hobby cooking for you?
I only did it once!
-In fact-
-Then let's do more hobbies like this.
Okay, okay.
It's very fun for him.
How about this:
Hao, you can be
in charge of washing the dishes, OK?
I'll be in charge of washing,
no problem, I love washing dishes.
Hao, do you drink?
I love to drink.
Next week I'm going to a wine bar
award ceremony.
It will select the best bars
not just for Shanghai, but all of China.
Like the top three wine bars,
and top wines.
So a wine industry award ceremony.
-When the time comes, let's go together.
-Great.
I think you'll like it.
-Which day?
-I think it's next Monday.
Next Monday...
I might have work next Monday.
-You want to go with Curry?
-I made a strange sound.
Curry likes drinking more, right?
Why did you say---
What do you mean, I like
to drink more?
The gallery opening is next Monday.
-Oh!
-Yeah.
I also like galleries.
-Yeah so why--
-Not invite both of us?
I have someone I want to invite, okay?
[panelist] Good man!
Sorry for bothering you,
it's my bad.
-I just realized...
-Me too, sorry.
-There are other things we can do.
-Let's see your schedule.
Okay.
So looks like I've been
volunteered for the wine event.
I still need to check if I can
bring someone.
I'm going in.
I'm going in.
He just left like that!
Yes, Amy Wang.
No problem. Okay.
Send it to me tonight.
I remember.
Okay, okay, great.
Bye bye.
You're like a god, assisting me,
Brother Hao.
God assists.
How did God assist you?
-Why are you assisting me like this?
-Why did I assist you? Did I assist you?
You just made it awkward, you know.
Whaaat?
If Ming asked you to go,
then just go together. What's the issue?
I really have something.
I actually have a thing.
There really is a gallery and stuff.
But it made it awkward, you know,
Because I feel like you should just
accept these things as they are.
When you assisted me you made things...
Didn't I say that I was busy though?
You really have a thing?
I really do. If Tianqi were next to me
I'd also have offered him up.
Let me tell you,
The first time I met MIng,
she invited me to play squash.
You two should go together.
Go together.
I can't go. I don't know how to play.
Then learn! You're really athletic.
-I'm not going.
-You should go!
No, you guys are just doing a
thing together.
She asked you, and now
you keep bringing me along.
It's ok, you're helping me out.
You know, I was forced to accept
that day.
I said I could play, but actually
I don't know how to play squash at all.
Help me. Or I'll be humiliated.
When is it?
No set date yet.
After the date is set, then we
go together.
Well, if I don't have work...
I guess it's okay.
-Okay?
-Good.
Then we'll set a good time.
Okay.
Wasn't that awkward?
As soon as he entered the room
he said "so awkward."
Too awkward. Super awkward.
The reason for the awkwardness definitely
wasn't him... it was Ming.
How was Ming awkward?
Didn't Ming create the awkwardness?
And her last words were like
a crushing blow in battle.
What did she say?
Ming's conclusion was:
"Well, I'll call and check if I can
bring one more person."
Everyone just...
...just accepted it!
The trio suddenly had
a tacit understanding.
It seemed like nothing had happened.
Then they put down their glasses.
-Adults are too cruel.
-Too cruel.
It's better to be young.
Save some face.
But I think there is a possibility that
Ming knew that Curry liked her,
but she wanted to nip this possibility
in the bud, shut it down.
She was hinting to him:
"I don't like you."
Therefore she very deliberately
did that in front of him.
They're very mature.
A grown-up world.
Curry's not in it.
Yes.
So just as we predicted:
Curry likes Ming,
and Ming likes Hao.
So it appears.
I don't think it's necessarily "like,"
it's "interest."
It's the type that she likes,
but it's not "like" yet.
But I also think Curry shouldn't have
criticized Hao when they entered the room.
What does this have to do with Hao?
He was saving face.
But I think it’s a good thing because
you see, Liu Keli usually is so mature
in front of everyone.
Finally there's someone to whom
he can speak the truth.
-That's pretty good.
-Yeah.
Do you think Hao's date is with Carmon?
If this thing is real, then
it must be Carmon.
-It's art.
-it's an exhibit again.
This exhibition will not be like
that other exhibition.
Let's see whether in the end
he invited Carmon or not.
I'm so curious.
That's it for today.
That's it?!
-Not even the next scene?
-Nope.
It can't be!
-There's no more to watch today?
-No more today.
No way. I won't be able
to work for the next month.
Give me Hao's WeChat.
I want to ask him what happens after.
Okay then. Well we are very unhappy,
because this was excellent.
You all saw.
Now we wait another month,
for the video to be made pretty.
We're suffering the most.
We are stuck here now.
Just like you.
You can see it next week, but
we have to wait a month.
Who did he invite?
Who is going with whom?
It could be no one, right?
I don't know anymore.
See you in the next episode.
So sad.

[Reviewed by soph]
I was scolded by the teacher today.
Since you're busy,
I'm going up first.
-It's terrible for men to have a career.
-Work is the enemy of love.
A good girlfriend should understand him!
Your racket grip is wrong.
-Teach him quick.
-I don't know either!
The key is I think him matchmaking in the
middle is awkward.
Hao is now a pot-stirrer.
So I've always wanted to
raise another shiba.
I could ask Ming if she would be down
to go adopt one with me.
That's the way to girls' hearts.
What kind of trick is this?
He's slitting his own throat!
Absolute suicide.
What the hell?
