Welcome everyone to Li Dan's living room.
Shanghai Sharehouse is about six, in some sense, failed young people.
Some of them are failing in their careers,
some are failing in their love life.
So these six people
will live together for
one hundred and five days
and we will observe them together
The dog thing concluded successfully
The roommates decided together
These two dogs are their "children"
So they can continue to stay in the home
If I happened to be here
I could help take care of the dog.
Anyway, if you guys were busy
then I could also help walk the dog
Or take them to the bathroom.
Great.
Thank you.
I didn't consider the fact that you might be scared of dogs.
I should apologize to you for this.
It seems like Curry still didn't apologize properly.
No, he didn't.
He said "I should apologize to you",
but did not apologize.
Curry is indeed Curry.
But Curry also took the initiative to prepare breakfast for Jin Yujie.
Seems like he wants to pursue her.
You have a busy day today?
Yup, I'll be back very late.
So it’s good to eat a bit in the morning.
Otherwise, when your work gets too busy
you may not have time to eat.
Pretty good.
All's well that ends well.
Later, where are you going to work?
- In Huangpu.
- I'm on the way.
Really?
Why don't I drop you off?
- Is he chasing her or is he apologizing?
- Not sure.
- Last time we did not reach a conclusion.
- Inconclusive.
- Right, we have two pairs.
- Carmon and Binshen.
They're getting closer through games.
So Carmon seems to have
some feelings for Binshen.
I also play this.
- Do you play this too?
- Yes.
- Mobile games?
- Yes.
So did you start playing right when it came out?
- Let's play a round sometime.
- Ok.
But Binshen's attitude is very unclear.
Keni suspects he could be a player.
- Just a suspicion.
- Let's see what he does.
He'll definitely do it.
The scene where Nana made zhajiangmian for Tianqi
got Teacher Chen's approval.
- Super.
- Well done.
- Strongly agree.
This is definitely not authentic.
It's ok, whatever you make is the best.
You must've eaten too much sugar.
- How is it?
- Delicious.
- It's really so corny.
- Making noodles.
- You have to make noodles
Let's see what happens in this episode.
Did you eat her
zhajiangmian yesterday?
- Nana's?
- I had some.
It was good.
I feel like they're all such good chefs.
Now I'm scared I don't know what to do
when it's my turn.
I'm also worried about this.
Let's just order takeout.
We can order extra.
- I thought of a solution.
- Pretend you cooked it, right?
Next time we can tell them
We'll cook together, and then just
take them to hot pot.
I think that would work.
It'll work.
Then we just need to
buy the base.
I'm sure Curry would say
"This hotpot base is
not as good as what I make."
You know him too well.
Is that porridge good?
- Give it a rating.
- A rating?
I ordered it.
I'm putting it back.
Didn't you have a fever yesterday?
Is it better now?
It's better now.
So hot.
This porridge warmed me up.
You just had a fever yesterday,
so you should sweat it out.
Endure it.
Ok.
So what kind of escape rooms
do you like to play?
I play all themes.
But recently there's an escape room
that I really want to play.
What's it called?
- Schoolyard Battle Royale.
- The kind with NPCs?
I really like doing those.
Let's go together sometime.
Ok.
I really like being chased by "ghosts".
The "ghost" chasing you is also working hard.
[Carmon's studio]
Are you tired lately?
Very tired.
- Commuting both ways.
- Romance tiring you out?
No, not at all.
We all just met.
You met a lot of new guys right?
They're all pretty good.
There is one person.
There is a guy who plays GKART.
- Don't you play too?
- Yeah.
Does he teach you?
He taught me a little bit.
Hands-on teaching?
He just was teaching me a little from the side.
Could he be be "Central Heating Unit",
nice to everyone?
Teaching everyone to play GKART?
Stop it.
What does the other do?
The other is an employee
in a lifestyle shop.
He came back from Japan.
He looks a bit like Xu Renguo plus Jin Yubin,
combined.
Monolid?
- Can't remember.
- Big eyes with monolids?
Let me see, hold on.
I think so.
It seems you're not interested in him,
you can't even remember.
Is GKART guy monolid?
GKART guy is monolid.
- Her mind is filled with GKART.
- Yes.
You're the most set-in-stone
couple so far --
Wait, don't be like this.
Lock it down.
Don't be like this.
Please you guys, don't do this
Can I ask a personal question?
How old is he?
Twenty three, I think.
So does he like older women?
I don't know yet.
It seems like young guys now all
like women a little older.
Yeah, an "older sister".
But it may be a big age gap.
I'm older than him by six years.
Hold two gold bricks.
[T/N: Chinese idiom about marrying an older woman]
Pretty nice.
From the looks of it, I'm sensing you're about
to leave singlehood.
Wait a moment, I'm a little warm.
It's hot before it's even started.
Slow down, slow down.
It would be nice to date,
at least my parents will stop
nagging me.
Do they know you came on this show?
I mentioned it to them.
Are they happy about it?
I called my mother before
just to forewarn them.
Otherwise, I'd also be very troubled.
Is there a photo?
Of who?
GKART guy, Who else?
This one.
He's quite handsome.
Feels like he fits your "type".
Yeah, very pale and monolid and small eyes.
Yeah, handsome.
He fits your type perfectly.
You guys still have a lot of time together right.
I feel like you have a good chance
of leaving singlehood.
Seize your moment!

This is the last week of matches.
Let's not let ourselves down,
the effort we put into this.
Come.
Let's go!
Next up let's welcome RDG's
"racing carry" Binshen!
Everyone take a look at Binshen's speed
Look at Binshen.
Double kill!
Congratulations to Binshen
for getting a point back!
Binshen is having huge
issues with his rhythm.
I got passed like that,
I'm a piece of shit!
So annoying!
Congratulations (opposing team) on getting the first win.
Binshen, how long have you
been playing professionally?
- Two years.
- Two years, and you're 23.
I feel like you should
seriously think about it.
E-sports is cruel.
There's only Winners and Losers.
I think you should
yhink about it seriously,
your future in this profession.
You know what I mean?
What's wrong?
You guys lost?
I embarassed us.
What do you mean 'embarassed us'?
If you lose, you lose.
When there's a loss,
there will always be a win.
You can't always win, right?
Right?
I brought you coffee,
it's going to get cold.
Thank you.
You were already so good today.
Everyone has off days.
In gaming, though,
there's no excuses.
I usually manage to carry us to a win
in the end. But not today.
I'm just not used to it because I was
the one who lost the points this time.
This isn't usually the case, so
for it to happen so suddenly...
It's hard for me to accept.
It's normal, you can never know whether
you're going to win or lose a game.
Our two professions are about
performing on the spot.
There are many uncertainties.
For example, I sometimes have bad shots
or I forget the route on a catwork.
It's so awkward with
so many people watching you.
If you didn't play well this game,
you'll try again next time.
You'll keep working hard.
It's okay.
I'm gonna cry if you stay unhappy.
You want me to cry?
All right.
- It's true, it's normal to lose.
- Open this for me.
We'll go eat something delicious.
What are you treating me to?
Whatever you want.
Anything?
Michelin, is it?
I wouldn't go so far.
- Let's get hot pot.
- Okay.
You're drinking my coffee, aren't you?
Is your name written on it?
I don’t care, if I drink it, it’s mine.
Then I'll drink yours.
- I'm exhausted.
- Where were you?
I went to watch Binshen's game,
didn't he say he had one today?
Oh, yeah.
None of you had time,
so I was the only one who went.
I had no help.
How was his game?
He...seemed to lose.
Well, he did lose.
Then did he not qualify for the next game?
Will this game affect the later ones?
Yeah.
It seems like it'll affect whether
or not he can play in the later games.
Or even his entire career.
It's that dramatic?
For a professional player, doesn't
every game have these stakes?
- It's important.
- Right?
How is he doing now?
Not great, but what can he do?
The game was lost, after all.
It's a pity that I didn't go today.
She said it's a pity that she didn't go.
- The other one already knows--
- He's taken.
The other one already knows
she likes him too!
I feel like she's going to start crying
in a second.
You seem very happy,
you don't look even a bit sad.
This is why I came to this show!
To gossip!
What we talked about last episode
has happened again.
They drank water together and
exchanged niceties
and they slowly got closer to each other.
Do you think she did it on purpose?
99.9% chance it was deliberate.
I think even at the start when
she asked him to open it for her--
Definitely deliberate.
Maybe she really did take the
wrong drink, they look the same.
- No way.
- Look at her reaction.
She was pouting like this and rolling her eyes.
She was being playful and cutesy.
And he likes it. He responds,
Then I'll drink yours too.
Of course he likes it,
they're on the same wavelength.
They're so close. I thought
she should have given him a hug.
- That's a bit much.
- That's too fast.
I think this is plenty.
I think it's great they're
already at this point.
- This is hinting at what's to come.
- It's enough for now.
It's paving the way for
coffee dates later.
This girl has been testing the waters.
She's good, isn't she?
- I think--
- Look at this tactic.
- I should slap you.
- Don't!
- If you were a girl and you hit me like this--
- That's not good.
But you're doing it!
I think this girl is great.
I think she's caught this boy tightly.
And the boy is willing to put himself...
- They enjoy being together, just like Tianqi and that girl-
- The noodles girl.
They enjoy being together, which is
the most important thing.
- So that girl--
- Carmon.
It's no use crying or talking,
you have to go out for coffee.
- You're so sure those two will be together?
- You can think of it like this.
Let's analyze her personality.
This 29-year-old, why hasn't
she found a partner yet?
Because she repeatedly--
She always fails to act
at the critical moment.
She's not there at the juncture,
or she's busy with herself.
Time after time.
And now she's 29.
So it's like that?
It's not like this happened overnight.
I'm not talking about you!
But I'm not like that,
so why am I still single?
What are you like?
Let's analyze your problems now.
What is your current situation?
Sometimes you can't be too direct,
you know?
She might be the other extreme.
Seeing Carmon with her colleagues that day,
I noticed something.
It seems like all her colleagues are
the same type as her.
- Very close.
- All the same type of girl.
How she is in the house,
It seems like her life is just like this.
She doesn't really seek out
people with different personalities.
Then you think she can't find someone
because she has the wrong friends?
She needs different friends first?
- What kind of conclusion--
- What kind of logic is that?
How did you get there?
Her friends are not good!
Her friends are a bit much.
They just keep saying,
you're about to couple up.
This sentence can hurt a lot.
Why?
With these kinds of friends, no
matter what you say, they think this person likes you.
They think the whole
world likes you.
When you eventually realize no,
he doesn't actually like you, it's painful.
- It's a fantasy.
- Gives people false hope.
I think taking action is the
most important part of dating.
Falling in love is a verb,
not a noun or adjective.
It's doing things together,
eating together,
doing anything together.
It's all actions.
Most fundamentally, if you like
him and you don't even watch his game,
that's a mistake.
It's such an important moment
whether he wins or loses.
Yes, you have to go.
Even if you have to give up sleep,
you should go.
Companionship is very important.
After this, she will
definitely go next time.
There won't be a next time.
Did you get hurt at an
important moment in your life?
- No!
- Was it at your first concert?
- You wanted him to come--
- There's someone who didn't come.
See?
He had no chance after that.
No chance.
Actually, there was another chance.
- Still?
- He came to another one.
And look at how important
this game is to Binshen.
How disappointed he is.
For a man,
if you're by his side
at a moment like this,
he'll remember it forever.
Yes, it gets you
a lot of points.
And out of all those people,
only that girl went.
- Yeah.
- He invited everyone.
But that girl went
because she had the time.
It's not just about time.
Time is something
you have to give, right?
- Right.
- Who are you willing to invest the time in?
Yeah.
No one has no time,
they only lack interest.
- Yeah.
- There's always time if you're interested.
For the designer girl,
I didn't really think he--
- Carmon.
- Especially likes her.
I think he likes this girl more.
Yujie, he likes Yujie.
Yeah, there's more to their interactions.
I bet with all of you that Binshen
will definitely flirt with Carmon later.
I said before that I think he might
have those tendencies.
Because so far, he's treated
both of them pretty well.
I still feel like the six of them
are more or less considered
failures to some degree.
Take Binshen.
He's 23 and already having such
heavy conversations with his coach.
The coach was trying to say...
- Persuading him to retire.
- Right?
He was saying, you should stop.
Actually he's already saying you admit failure.
You have very few chances.
Change careers.
- Why at twenty-three years old?
- Because they will have a lot of reserve players.
Actually being on a team, you just need results.
Otherwise this coach would also need to be replaced.
It's the same.
Competition is particularly fierce.
Let's say Carmon.
Actually, if she was a successful person
in the typical sense,
She would definitely
be able to find time
I think so too
If you have time to chat, then you
have time to go see the game.
But because of money, because of an assignment
- Just for an assignment
- I don't think so.
That little actress, Nana, she also didn't succeed
But she bravely expressed something and she got it.
I think Teacher Chen meant
Not regarding Binshen's competition
But before -- Carmon had time
before to make a move.
You like him already, why didn't you let him know earlier?
Right, I think it's a personality issue.
- Of course.
- Personality.
Ok, let's see what Binshen will do.
Take a look at Binshen.
Morning.
Good morning.
Why are you sleeping here?
I'm tired and didn't
sleep well last night.
What happened?
Curry was snoring.
He's too loud.
Why are you up so early?
I'm a little hungry, wanted to go out
and get some breakfast or something.
Have breakfast and then go to work?
Let's go together.
Ok.
Let's go.
Then I'll go up and change clothes first.
Ok.
Your skin --
Were you always this pale?
Did you know, in high school I used to be called "Little White Face"?
Because I was too pale.
I think it's pretty good,
is being pale bad?
Yes, they were jealous.
I think so too.
Then you must have been
quite eye-catching.
I was the popular kid since childhood.
Then I'm so honored.
Thank you.
How many matches
do you have left?
Two more.
Two games and then you'll know if you can proceed?
Correct.
I've been playing for two years now.
I don't think I'll be able to play
for much longer.
Because in our league
most of the players are
born in 2002, 2001 and 2004.
And no matter what league
or game it is,
I'm definitely one of the older ones.
So the pressure is there.
I just haven't gotten my ideal results.
So I'm contemplating
Is it time to retire?
There's also pressure
Because after retiring
what do I do?
So do you have a plan now?
I still don't.
It's just
I feel like this is a common problem for e-sports players.
After a player retires
you just continue to work in the gaming industry.
Whether you become a streamer
or join a club and stay as a coach
or whatever,
It feels like this is the only path.
Because we train every day
and don’t interact with people outside.
We don't interact with the outside world.
We're a bit derailed and out of touch with society.
How about you?
You had a busy day yesterday.
I also have a lot of pressure.
Maybe because I take on creative, design things
so I'm very anxious right before deadlines.
So my mood will be really bad.
Seems like the pressure comes all at once, right?
Yes and the closer it gets, the worse it gets.
Your studio
Is it your own?
Pretty awesome.
No, it's very small.
A very small studio.
It's not about whether it's small or not.
It's entrepreneurial.
Yeah I guess so.
I've thought about it too.
After I retire
I also want to pursue this type of work.
Start a business.
I can help you make a logo.
That'd be good.
What are you doing?
I'm not doing anything.
Then why are you hiding things?
No I'm just helping a friend make a logo.
What kind of friend?
Just a confused friend.
Because he might want to
start his own business later on.
So I want to help him make a concept.
Sketch out the process of turning
an idea into reality.
Then make him a name for the
logo or something.
What do you think about this?
Why are you looking at me like that?
It's really just that.
So what is this boy like?
This boy...
He's just.. just, just, you know.
Quick, work on this.
I think this is pretty good.
Look, a kite.
This diamond shape
Sit here.
What about you? So are you just going to-
I'll finish this up first real quick
And then I'll come help you.
Real quick.
- Hello.
- You're back.
What are you doing?
I'm watching a video.
I thought you were
playing the game.
What'd you do this afternoon?
I went to train, went back.
Oh, just, we just talked a
bit this morning
during brunch
so I brought back something.
What is it?
Guess.
Let me guess?
It's related to what we were talking
about this morning.
Related to what we talked about in the morning?
Hold on, let me show you.
- Hello
- You're all here?
Binshen, the projector upstairs is broken.
I tried to repair it myself for a long time
but it's still not fixed.
Can you help me fix it?
Sure.
- I'll go take a look
- Ok.
The projector doesn't seem to work well.
I'll try it.
It's this status again, what do we do?
Forget it, if it can't be fixed
just leave it.
We shouldn't.
Is this TV off?
I think so.
But where do you turn it on?
- Do you want to play games?
- Ok.
- What do you want to play?
- GKART.
I don't know how to play GKART,
I'll watch you play.
Why don't you come closer?
I'll show you how a
professional does it.
So with your gaming career
did you have a time that was most
tiring?
Yes.
A period of time, right?
In the first year of my career when I just started.
The start?
Yes, that year was the most exhausting.
Because I just came to Shanghai
and there was a lot of pressure.
Plus I didn't know what to do.
I was in a pretty confused state
and I had endless frustrations.
So I was pretty exhausted.
When you first came to Shanghai,
your situation was probably similar.
Yes, it was.
But...
Because you're surrounded by a bunch of people during the day,
then you go home, and there's nobody around to talk to.
It's especially painful.
I'd often finish work late at night and would cry in the car.
I'm actually the kind of person who needs a relationship to
Change how you currently
To help me relieve stress or something.
How about you?
I am very similar to you.
I also think about whether having the right relationship
would relieve some of my stress.
I understand.
Or to change my current focus in life.
So that it's not all about work.
Or rest.
Yeah.
Just like how I used to be.
Yeah.
What was your purpose for coming onto this show?
Mainly to make friends.
Because in the past I spent a long time
just going between two locations.
Just work and home.
No social life.
Probably for around two years.
Then what kind of friends do you want to make?
Friends who are easy to talk to.
Can I ask about your
previous relationships?
How old were they?
Some who were younger, and
some who were older.
How much older?
If they were older than me, at most by two years.
Not so bad.
Yeah not bad.
That's right it feels fine to me.
Because if you've gotten to the
point of dating,
age doesn't really matter.
That's the truth.
So you're saying it doesn't matter if they're a lot older than you.
Well at very least there can't be a generation gap.
What do you think of everyone in the house?
How do you feel?
The guys...
are not bad.
I think you should make those cards
and give us each one.
- Cards?
- What cards?
- It would be nice.
Those "nice guy" cards.
I'll give you one first.
Give me one first.
You have to answer now.
You'll have to reap what you sow.
I will also make a few cards to give to you.
Okay okay.
Well, I think that Nana's personality is quite lively.
She likes to socialize with other people.
Then Carmon seems like she's
more passionate,
she's also very attentive to us,
very considerate.
And more cautious.
And you...
Let's just skip that.
- Should I not say?
- Don't say it.
- I won't say then.
- So awkward.
- That's it?
- There's no more?
That's so annoying!
We should stay today and record tomorrow's segment too.
Agreed.
We've just witnessed how a professional operates.
A professional player's methods are really something, so different from us amateurs.
- A master.
- They got played.
It's showing, they showed their face.
He has a problem, it's the way he looks at people.
Innocently.
With the one that wears a hat, Carmon, when he spoke with her
The way he looked at her was the same.
His gazes are like hugs.
They say "I accept you".
Concern and acceptance.
Embrace everything and accept everything.
These are "holding eyes".
- "Holding eyes".
- Seems likely.
When something comes his way
he has to hold it a bit, otherwise he feels bad if he doesn't.
He think it's impolite not to.
It woudn't be right.
So he HAS to hold it.
As he keeps holding onto these situations, it creates issues.
It creates a feud right?
It's possible that he doesn't even like anyone.
Yes! He could be that type of person.
You can talk to me, or if you need me to talk to you that's fine as well.
He's just got a good personality where he puts kindness first.
However this level of kindness...
He doesn't need to try to be able to make you feel at ease.
- Yes.
- That makes you feel as if
At times he can be overly kind
It can send the wrong message, right?
Aren't these type of people really scary?
Yeah, he can only blame himself.
I have a friend with a similar personality to Binshen.
He is really accepting of everybody.
A person with no faults.
Let me tell you, somebody with a personality like his
He wouldn't mind being nice to you.
But he also wouldn't mind too much if he hurt you.
He wouldn't understand how he hurt you.
Exactly, because it wasn't intentional.
Then do you guys think that he forgot Carmon is downstairs or?
He forgot.
I think the reason he forgot is
because in his heart, he only has Yujie.
So he forgot all about her.
If he also just thought of Jin Yujie as a normal friend,
he wouldn't forget.
Also, normally once you fix the projector you would go back down.
- Right.
- He would say "I still have something to do downstairs."
Yujie asked Binshen a strange question,
"Do you mind if the girl is older than you?"
A lot older.
So you don't mind the girl being a lot older than you.
What do you think she meant?
Actually, in the first half,
when she watched the match he lost
and Carmon mentioned that she should have gone
Yujie already knew that Carmon also likes Binshen.
So she (Jin Yujie) also wanted to know if this guy has a chance of liking her.
She is using the process of elimination to see if she can eliminate Carmon.
- It was a test.
- Testing the waters.
Testing to see if there's a threat,
by asking his thoughts.
She asks him, and realizes
there's not much threat.
This nice guy card that she issued was a test.
Actually, with Binshen and Yujie's
back-and-forth,
it almost seems like they've
reached the tipping point, right?
They're just one step short.
"What's your judgment of me?"
And she said let's not talk about it,
it's too awkward.
Actually he would say "I really like you".
Yujie is really direct.
I need a relationship to relieve stress, what about you?
She asks directly.
"I am like this too."
"I am really similar to you too."
If this is the case, she shouldn't intercept the two when they're talking by calling him up.
Don't say she shouldn't.
Precisely because those two were talking.
She should (call him away)! Why not?
Because if Carmon likes Binshen, you should let them finish talking.
But what if he likes her too?
Exactly! If I let you finish talking, what ground do I have left to stand on?
What is this episode called? It's called "A three player game"!
He must play this game.
But I think the most innocent one is Carmon.
- She's too considerate.
- It's awful.
- It's too awful.
- It's too awful.
And I especially understand her type of shy personality.
She thinks that if she expresses herself a little bit, the whole world can tell.
She thinks she's being really obvious.
"I can't look at him anymore, if I do then others will know I like him."
In reality, nobody knows.
But she was just about to tell him.
In the morning
She's not expressing herself!
Using your professional skills to help
people is not saying you like them.
If someone asked in the morning for your help designing a logo
- and then you finish it that night,
- They would think you did it in 15 minutes!
They would think you did it really fast, you're really great!
They would not think, oh you like me so you helped me out.
- Really?
- Really.
I think her analysis is correct.
I think that girl, Carmon, is
her name Carmon?
Carmon's problem is that she can't express her feelings.
She never has the right thing to
say, never quite makes her point.
That's why at 29 years old, she is still in this position.
I think Carmon just has bad luck, she just needs to wait. She's only 29.
Actually Carmon's problem is that,
I think Teacher Chen is right,
but what she needs is to find somebody that understands her without her having to say it.
Yes, he just needs to understand her.
She doesn't need to change.
So she needs to wait for someone who takes the initiative to
express his feelings to her.
Wait for someone like that.
Wait for such a man.
Let's watch the last segment.
Oh there's still one last segment.
The last segment is really annoying, you watch half and it's finished.
This episode is so cruel.
This episode is so hard to watch.
Try it.
I'll throw and you fetch, right?
He'll fetch!
Try it.
Throw it a bit further away.
- He saw it.
- Hurry up, go get it.
Oh, so this game is
you throw and I fetch, right?
Silly dog!
Go play with Popsicle.
He doesn't want to?
I'm going to clean up first, I need to go out.
- Sure, go.
- Bye bye.
