Hi everyone,
welcome to Shanghai Share Life.
-
Sponsored by the exercise app KEEP.
-
Keep Exercise App -- Burn Fat Better!
-
So this group of roommates
has cohabited for 21 days so far.
-
Because it takes a long time
-
to document their life
authentically,
-
we haven't checked in
on them for a while.
-
Have we forgotten what happened?
-
Let's recap
what happened in week 6.
-
Binshen went to Carmon's
coffee festival to help with odd jobs.
-
The two's interactions at the
festival were like a teen drama.
-
That night Carmon brought
Binshen some waffles.
-
Binshen replied with a "Thanks"
on the blackboard.
-
So did he mean just "thanks"
or, "I love you too"?
-
It's just a simple thank you.
-
"Thanks"
-
It feels like he just
shut her down in one word.
-
The relationship --
-
He's slow to warm up.
-
As for our fast-to-warm-up
friend, Tianqi,
-
Too warmed up.
And one sided!
-
Would you like to be my girlfriend?
-
I feel like right now we wouldn't
-
be in the most stable position.
-
If I agreed to be with you
right now, it might...
-
[panelist] He was rejected.
-
Great, let's see what new developments
-
will happen this week.
-
Let's stop talking about it.
-
Talking about your situation
is getting us all down.
-
Binshen, how are you lately?
-
How's it going?
-
Is this like, you using me
to cheer him up?
-
Not using you to cheer up,
-
just checking in on you, right?
-
That night we were grilling,
you also had some
-
...romantic developments.
-
I knew you were going to bring it up.
-
Why not bring that up?
-
I think Carmon is pretty great.
Yeah?
-
She's so forward with you.
-
I feel like
-
In that moment I was kind of at a loss
-
I didn't know what to do.
-
It's all your fault.
-
How is it my fault?
-
Just that you didn't have to
-
make that dare, or say whatever.
-
No, I just...
that was the only thing I said.
-
That's pretty impressive honestly.
-
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
-
No, I just think that we, like,
feel like just roommates still.
-
We're all just living together
having a good time, I think.
-
We're not at that next step yet.
-
- And you?
- Me?
-
There's nothing with me.
-
Didn't I just do the whole making
amends ordeal with Yujie?
-
Getting intimate.
-
No, not getting intimate.
-
We're just regular friends
right now.
-
We hang out sometimes.
-
Look at that guy.
-
He's nodding, he
definitely likes Yujie.
-
What were you up to today?
-
My coffee festival.
-
Oh, and Binshen
came by to help out.
-
He went with you?
-
Though he had something after so he
left early.
-
To be honest, this was kind
of my first time alone
-
One-on-one with him --
oh no, the second time.
-
And... I sensed that there
does seem to be a little sense of
-
distance between us.
-
Maybe because of the age gap,
I'm not really sure.
-
It just feels a bit...
-
It feels like I'm maybe
quite a bit older than him.
-
I'm older, about like
six years.
-
No...
-
No, why should that matter?
-
Age is just a number.
-
Age is not a big deal.
-
But sometimes with him,
I can't parse out his intentions.
-
Is it possibly because
I'm an older girl
-
I'm his senior and I'm a girl
so he's trying to
-
help me out because he's a
gentleman, or what?
-
Just like, helping a
sister out?
-
It's hard for me to work out.
-
This is getting...
they're getting really deep.
-
Yujie, just say it!
-
Honestly I think
-
it's not a big deal, right?
-
Don't overthink it.
-
Right?

Episode 7, Week 4
"How Do I Get Close to You?"
-
Here's a big one.
-
When does filming start?
-
I'm not sure, but he already
gave me the script.
-
I skimmed it, it's
just...
-
a little bland.
- A little bland.
-
Maybe because his script
isn't fully formed yet.
-
It's just that the whole
premise...
-
because it starts
off with Szechuan dialect--
-
Hey
-
You're home?
I thought you were gone.
-
What're you guys eating?
-
There's more over there.
-
So you're saying it starts
-
with a general background and intro?
-
No, It just jumps straight into it.
-
The characters aren't fleshed out.
-
The general plot is about
two guys fighting over a girl.
-
Right?
-
I'm done.
-
- So fast.
- Can you guys help clean up later?
-
- You're not having more?
- Nope.
-
[panelist] She's getting out.
She doesn't want to be near him.
-
And she didn't say a word to him.
-
Water?
-
Thanks.
-
[panelist] He's actually
taking initiative.
-
What're you up to?
-
Just skimming.
-
[panelist] He can't get the
conversation going.
-
It's over.
-
It's over.
-
So are you going...
out today?
-
Or what?
-
I'm going out.
-
I should go back to practice.
-
Just now at breakfast,
-
you ate so fast, and then left.
-
Are you in a bad mood today?
-
I'm fine, just so so.
-
Not good, not bad.
-
Just normal.
-
[panelist] She seems mad.
-
- Correct.
- Definitely.
-
I'm going up.
-
Ok.
-
Is she that mad?
-
- So mad?
- Of course!
-
You drank my coffee and whatever
-
and then you went to breakfast with
her behind my back?
-
And then went to help her with whatever?
-
Just get away from me then.
Just go.
-
So she's returning his coffee?
-
Yes, give his coffee back.
-
I'm leaving this coffee.
-
[panelist] He got paid.
- How much?
-
[panelist] 3,500
- His balance is a little over 4,000.
-
When are you getting here?
-
Sure, sure.
-
I'll take you out.
-
Work is...
-
pretty miserable.
-
No money, no girl.
I can't catch a break.
-
Anyways
-
I didn't make much.
-
They docked two or three thousand.
-
[panelist] They docked that much?
-
- Hey.
- Hey.
-
- Hi everyone!
- Hi.
-
You're all busy?
-
Yeah, the work never ends.
I brought it home to do.
-
I'm chilling. I'm lying here.
-
- Hi.
- You're back?
-
- You're back!
- Hey.
-
The vibe in this house is
-
kind of tense.
-
What's with him?
-
Don't know.
-
[panelist] In love and career,
-
two failed crops (an idiom).
-
So discouraging.
-
Get in here, hurry up.
-
So tired.
-
What's up with you?
-
I'll tell you, but don't tell the others.
-
What is it? So mysterious.
-
It's not. It's not a big deal.
Just...
-
I got paid today.
-
And...
-
I feel like they basically
docked my entire pay.
-
Well not all, but still
it was a lot.
-
And wasn't Nana just saying how
-
right now both of us aren't
-
super stable, career-wise.
-
She wanted us to accomplish things
-
before we started dating.
-
So I just don't really want
her to know about this.
-
That's why I said to
not tell the others.
-
How do I put this?
-
I think when I first started my
career I was like you.
-
When I came back to
Shanghai from abroad,
-
I was the same way.
-
My behaviors then,
including some of my work habits.
-
weren't too good.
-
You can try out
following their rules.
-
And then when you find
a job that suits you better
-
you'll feel like a fish in water.
-
So what happened today is
-
kind of a
-
bad thing, but it's
also a good thing.
-
If you think of this money
as the price you paid
-
to learn good work habits,
-
I think
-
it's not a bad price.
-
You're right.
-
If I can really change
for the better
-
from this, it is good
in the long run.
-
Just think of
-
this incident as
-
the push you needed.
-
I do really want
-
to improve myself.
-
And since you now
have this girl you like,
-
you're also improving
yourself for her.
-
So she can see it.
-
[panelist] Not bad, Teacher Liu. Not bad.
-
Yeah,
-
thanks.
-
Thanks for what?
-
[panelist] I feel like it's
genuine gratitude.
-
Tianqi got a talking to.
-
Yes, he's good at taking it.
-
He's gotten to the point where
he'll even listen to Teacher Liu.
-
He really did listen.
-
Because what Teacher Liu said
-
Is actually common sense advice.
-
- Yeah.
- But if you haven't gotten to that point
-
you just can't process it.
-
You would just think it's bullshit.
-
But if you've been pushed to
that point, you'll realize
-
that Teacher Liu is absolutely right.
- Yes.
-
But there's a difference between
-
understanding and changing.
-
We have to watch his actions.
-
I think we have to talk about
-
Yujie ignoring Binshen.
-
Is it jealous anger?
-
Definitely.
-
She's so jealous.
-
She feels like, Binshen
had coffee with her
-
and then he decided
to be with Carmon.
-
"We just had one coffee together,"
-
"but they went to
a whole coffee festival."
-
And Carmon said they hung out twice.
-
One-on-one, two times.
-
So Yujie didn't even feel like talking
after that conversation.
-
Yeah.
-
She'd rather read Curry's shitty script.
-
These things happen a lot.
-
I think Binshen and Yujie,
-
From what I see, are both
strong personalities.
-
So it's a tragedy of personalities.
-
We're also thinking,
why can't Binshen just
-
express himself, or communicate?
-
But the people in his life only
act this
-
way because of his personality.
-
Yujie tends to show her feelings.
-
Just storms off.
I'm done.
-
- I'm walking out!
- Can't even be in the same room.
-
If this were the other girl,
she wouldn't act like this.
-
Before, we said Carmon was
single because she's not assertive.
-
But actually that's not true. She's very
capable of going for her crush.
-
Maybe she's suffered from own passivity
one too many times.
-
- So now she's full steam ahead.
- But Yujie
-
hasn't suffered like that before.
-
So she can throw a tantrum
and make a scene.
-
Yes.
-
I think that girl will
totally ignore him now.
-
- Yujie.
- Really?
-
- Yujie?
- Yeah.
-
Just one chance?
-
I think -- I believe
she's through with him.
-
- Maybe.
- She's through.
-
She's already seen through him.
Seen his true colors.
-
- She's dropping him.
- It was a lie all along.
-
- No, give him a chance.
- Will she?
-
Let's see.
-
How are things over there?
-
I feel like you seem
-
kind of distracted lately.
-
There are some...
-
romantic issues.
-
Really frustrating.
-
What romantic issues?
-
Come on, let's gossip.
-
There's this girl
-
and whenever I look at her
-
I can just tell that
-
this other girl starts to
-
act really weird.
-
So all of it feels
-
off.
-
I can tell that they're both
-
- They care for you.
- Yes, they've made it clear.
-
Then as a man, you should
respond.
-
Have you responded?
As of now?
-
No.
-
Really?
-
You weren't like this before.
-
- It's different!
- How is it different?
-
When it comes to our work,
or whatever,
-
I feel like I can be really decisive.
-
But with this kind of thing,
like, interpersonal things,
-
I can't seem to get the hang of
these relationship issues.
-
Just... what am I
supposed to do exactly
-
to make everyone stop
acting so
-
...like...
-
embarrassing, so awkward.
-
Well, what do you personally think?
-
Which one
-
do you like more?
-
The...
-
The one who came to my match.
-
Her name's Yujie,
-
I hang out with her more.
-
Then I feel like you can take
initiative and respond to her.
-
With Yujie, you can
ask her out to dinner.
-
And then how am I supposed to
express my... thoughts to her?
-
No, you're making it way
too complicated.
-
It's just friends having dinner.
Isn't that normal?
-
Just have a meal and chat.
-
I think you're right.
-
I should...I think I should
talk things out with both of them.
-
Clear the air and lay things out.
-
Hey
-
Weren't you going out?
-
- I'm back.
- Oh, you're back.
-
Do you
-
Do you have plans tonight?
-
I'm not sure yet.
I don't think so.
-
Then do you want to
-
grab a bite to eat
-
and walk around?
-
I'm not really hungry.
-
- [panelist] End of story.
- You could just eat two bites.
-
Maybe you'll feel hungry
when you see all the yummy food.
-
You shouldn't give up on
great food just because you're not hungry.
-
Does that make sense?
-
That's kind of twisted logic.
-
The food is waiting for you
to eat, or not to eat.
-
Like, you're deciding its fate.
To eat? Or not to eat?
-
- If you're hungry you can eat.
- Ok.
-
That makes a little sense.
-
Have you ever had beef stomach?
-
I've never had beef stomach.
-
This restaurant does
beef stomach, I've visited
-
before, it's not bad.
- Alright.
-
I'll have a bite.
What if it's not good?
-
Not good? Then we'll go
somewhere else.
-
[panelist] He can't open it, so awkward.
-
I can't open it.
-
Embarrassing.
-
I can do it.
-
How come you wanted to
eat with me suddenly tonight?
-
I felt like, recently, hasn't
something been
-
bothering you, maybe?
-
I feel like you've been off.
-
[panelist] Straight to the point.
-
I feel like you're intentionally
-
avoiding me or something.
-
I don't know if I'm imagining it.
-
Have I?
-
What makes you say that?
-
Because I feel like you're
different from you were at first.
-
It's not as easy to get along.
-
Just that kind of feeling.
-
It's fine. It's nothing.
-
If there's anything, you can tell me.
-
- He still wants her to say it.
- Right.
-
- Right?
- Why doesn't he just say it?
-
Just say it!
-
Always talking around things.
-
Is it really so hard to just say
"Me and Carmon aren't a thing"?
-
We're out so late together...
-
aren't you afraid what Carmon will think?
-
- What she'll think?
- Won't she get the wrong idea?
-
I'm scared she'll get the wrong idea
-
because you two have
been so close lately.
-
Not really. Like...
-
you're talking about the grilling night?
-
Just the last few days.
-
Actually I think the
whole truth or dare thing
-
I guess it was a coincidence
because Teacher Liu
-
just came up with it.
And it was out of the blue.
-
- It was awkward.
- I remember Teacher Liu asked
-
Right? He asked, like,
I'll just say it straight--
-
He asked her to gaze at her crush.
-
I think in the moment
I was surprised that
-
you two had gotten so
close all of a sudden.
-
Actually there were clues
from the start.
-
I feel like she gives me
-
the feeling of
being my older sister.
-
And she makes me feel
-
taken care of, that sort of thing.
-
I think
-
My feelings
-
for you are
-
more towards the romantic side.
-
Out of the
-
people in the house.
-
So sudden.
-
No, just
-
Like,
-
I'm also just feeling it out.
I want to get to know you.
-
Really?
-
Because I'm slow to warm up, so
-
I feel like
-
the way I'm treating you
will be
-
on the cautious side.
-
[panelist] Her mood's instantly better.
-
Seriously.
-
[Binshen] I do really like you.
-
For real?
So sudden...
-
When I first met Carmon
we did talk about our ideal types,
-
and as soon as she told me hers,
I did think
-
out of the three guys
she probably had a crush
-
on you, most likely.
-
So regardless of my feelings
or whatever towards you,
-
I do have to consider
-
Carmon's perspective
and her well-being.
-
My feelings for you and
my feelings about Carmon are different.
-
Then have you told her?
-
I haven't told her yet.
-
So do you want to tell her
or are you okay with just this?
-
I should tell her.
-
I feel like in this situation
I definitely have to talk to her.
-
Just...at least I should
tell her what I'm thinking.
-
In any case, you take care of
this thing with you and Carmon.
-
But don't hurt our Carmon.
-
Then let's not overthink it,
the two of us.
-
Go with the flow.
-
Like you said yourself,
you're slow to warm up.
-
Let's take it slow, I think.
-
One step at a time.
-
I'm so full.
-
Boys should eat a little more.
Eat some more.
-
Look,
-
I've got big cheeks.
-
Me too.
-
Yours aren't so obvious.
-
Your face is big, it's not obvious.
-
How come no one ate the chicken feet?
-
- You haven't.
- No, I have one here.
-
- It's not good?
- No, I'm scared to eat it.
-
- Why? Because I haven't?
- Because I'll look ugly.
-
I'm scared of looking ugly
at dinner with you.
-
- I can't even see it.
- Boys eat first!
-
- Do they have to be so cheesy?
- Do kids really date like this?
-
"Look! I've got big cheeks!"
-
Actually, a lot of girls would think
Yujie is being two-faced here.
-
- No! No!
- How to put it...
-
Some people would say if she clearly
knew your friend likes this guy,
-
And then you say those words,
"Don't hurt her."
-
To a lot of people,
that's pretty two-faced.
-
Choice words.
"When you go reject her,
-
Be careful, don't hurt her."
-Yes.
-
- That sentence?
- Yeah!
-
I don't agree.
-
I think the definition of "two faced"
is, for example, if you say
-
"Don't hurt her". But then
intentionally do things
-
to get on Binshen's good side.
But Yujie didn't do that.
-
As soon as she knew Carmon liked him,
she completely walked away.
-
She completely withdrew. She
didn't set out to pursue anything.
-
To steal him away.
-
Especially after that boy said
he didn't like either of them.
-
He said "I'm slow to warm up",
she did nothing.
-
That's also a good point.
-
You can only judge her as
"one who advances by retreating"
[an idiom].
-
If you want to judge her.
But she made a clean retreat.
-
- Yeah.
- But if I were Carmon
-
and found out they were
together, I'd be kind of mad.
-
- Not kind of.
- Very.
-
Especially when says, "Sister,
-
he and I are dating."
It will hurt.
-
Whether it's her age or because
he just doesn't see her that way,
-
She'll absolutely be hurt.
-
But it's 100% unavoidable.
-
The only way to not hurt her
would be to like her back.
-
He can reject her,
that's okay,
-
- But he'd better not say...
- The words, "Older sister."
-
- He shouldn't say that.
- That would really hurt.
-
But I actually think
he could tell Carmon,
-
Just, like if I were Binshen
I would run over there
-
and tell her like this.
-
"Hey, I want to confide about something.
-
I have a dilemma."
And then go ahead and say,
-
"I like Yujie. But I
don't know how to confess.
-
You two seem really close.
Can you help me?"
-
This wording
would give her a way out.
-
So it won't look like he's rejecting her.
And she'll also realize
-
he doesn't have feelings for her,
so she'll back off.
-
- This would be better.
- Really? Is this better?
-
- It's good.
- Wouldn't you call that "two-faced"?
-
- This is really the best way to do it.
- Yes.
-
It will lessen her pain.
-
Because if he does it that way,
-
It's like a tactful rejection.
-
From a girl's standpoint,
It's not an outright rejection.
-
Still, the problem is with Binshen.
-
Yeah.
-
Because the root of the issue is
this guy
-
- Yeah, this guy.
- He looks over here,
-
He looks over there, right,
and when he's finally chosen
-
to be with one girl, he should
take care of the other side.
-
- Make things clear.
- The kindest method is clarity.
-
If you drag things on,
it actually hurts more in the end.
-
What would you do in his shoes?
-
I feel like...
-
I feel like their options
are too limited.
-
Like, there's two women
fighting tooth and nail over a guy who
-
can't even open a bottle cap.
-
I don't know what to say.
-
Then I have a question for Ziqi.
-
What would you do if
you and your best girlfriend
-
liked the same guy?
-
I feel like it depends on the situation.
-
Like romantically. A
situation like this one.
-
But the thing is
-
are Yujie and Carmon
really best girlfriends?
-
Ok, not a close friend.
-
Say you and Keni
both fell in love with Daxun.
-
I'll go. I'll back down.
-
They both back down! Why?
-
Let's ask Teacher Chen about this.
-
But I don't have a best girlfriend.
-
I think this is actually common.
-
It happens a lot.
-
Two people, who are best friends,
-
having the same crush.
Or something.
-
I don't think this will affect things.
-
In that situation we would,
at least between guy friends, I think
-
it wouldn't affect the friendship.
-
Because he's made a choice
before things got really serious.
-
It's just that he's the type of guy
-
who gets people's attention,
whom everybody likes.
-
So whether it's best girlfriends
or regular friends
-
or whatever, it's very normal.
It still depends on who he chooses.
-
I think in this love triangle,
Carmon will be the one who can't take it.
-
She won't be able to handle it.
It's not as easy as you say.
-
Still "staying friends". Or like,
she can hang out normally the next day.
-
If he really said what Ziqi said,
"Carmon, I'm in love with Yujie."
-
"I want to confess to her."
Carmon's going to be
-
dragging her suitcase out the door
-
- in tears, the next day.
- Just gone.
-
I think he definitely will break up
with what's her name -- Yujie.
-
And then turn around and date
what's her name -- Carmon.
-
Carmon will be waiting for him.
He will definitely go looking for her.
-
That's the future I predict.
-
I'll bet with Teacher Chen,
-
That no matter what Binshen thinks,
Yujie will force him
-
to take care of this matter
today or tomorrow.
-
- ASAP.
- Let's take a look.
-
- Hey
- Hey
-
[panelist] Here we go. It's over.
-
Did you just get back?
-
- Have you eaten?
- I ate.
-
Ok.
-
[panelist] Just say one more thing.
"I ate with Yujie."
-
That day at the coffee festival,
-
Yeah, I feel like I didn't
help out very much.
-
- I feel really bad.
- No, you did help.
-
You did help.
-
Not really, I barely helped.
-
After you left, the others, you
know how we were hanging kites?
-
And, well, you hung all the
ones that were hard.
-
You did really well. You hung them well.
-
- And we sold all the pouches.
- They all sold out?
-
- The ones that you tied
- With my logo one them?
-
Yeah.
-
But, you also brought
me waffles that night.
-
Were they good?
-
I saw your note on the blackboard.
-
Yeah, they were tasty.
-
What are you eating right now?
-
This...
-
That white stuff, what is it?
-
- Milk.
- Milk?
-
Yeah.
-
Just, you know, that Cantonese soup
-
"Vegetable something soup"...
They put milk in that.
-
- Really?
- Yeah.
-
- I've never had that.
- Do you want to try?
-
- I've had dinner. I've eaten.
- You're embarrassing me.
-
- You made this yourself?
- Yes.
-
I'm blessed by my lucky chef's hat today.
-
- That hat?
- Yes.
-
- It's good! Do you want to try some?
- I won't.
-
[panelist] He's finally learned
boundaries. No more eating.
-
Say it, brother.
-
[panelist] Stop dragging it on.
- I wanted to talk about something.
-
Do you have anywhere
-
you really want to visit?
-
Or like, somewhere you really want to eat?
-
- A restaurant?
- Or an attraction,
-
Attractions...
-
There are some
exhibitions
-
that I've always wanted to see
but because I was so busy with
-
the coffee festival, I haven't been
able to.
-
Sure.
-
Sure what?
-
Tell me about it after dinner, and
I'll get us tickets for the exhibition.
-
- Today?
- No, just confirm which exhibition.
-
What it's called, and tell me,
and I'll buy tickets.
-
- We'll go together?
- Yeah.
-
Just the two of us?
-
- Great.
- Then you keep eating, I'm heading in.
-
Then I'll keep eating.
-
Look at this guy. Giving her more hope.
-
Can't you just say it right there?
-
He's just this type of person!
He's just this type of person.
-
No, he's, he definitely wants
to tell her at the exhibition.
-
But that's messed up.
-
Why would he wait until that day?
-
- Because he can't say it here.
- And he can say it there?
-
- He wants to get out of this space.
- How does that help though?
-
He won't say it even at the exhibition.
-
Teacher Chen!
-
And also, there's more, Teacher Chen.
-
He blew away my expectations.
-
There's more. We're not done yet.
-
Get over here.
-
Walk on this side.
-
Why the sighing?
-
Just tired, recently.
-
Work's hectic.
-
How are you?
-
My work has calmed down a lot.
-
Come here.
-
Sit.
-
But lately I have a new project
-
designing a new series
of loungewear, that kind of thing.
-
Loungewear?
-
You're making loungewear?
-
Yes.
-
What about you?
-
We're just busy lately.
-
You know we're producing our own
short film script?
-
And then there's some
business with the office space.
-
Ok.
-
I want to talk to you about something.
-
Is it good or bad?
-
Just listen to it first. Just...
-
You know how at the coffee festival
Binshen came to help me?
-
And then he asked me to see an exhibition.
-
Right.
-
- That's great!
- But...
-
It is great, but...
-
I feel like Binshen and I
have a little bit of an age gap.
-
What does an age gap have to do
with you guys going to an exhibition?
-
Those things aren't related, right?
-
- No---
- Do you think because you're older
-
I just don't know what Binshen
thinks about this whole age thing.
-
Have you ever talked to him about this?
-
Are you asking me this because you
hope that I'll give you advice
-
or is it that you're conflicted
and you need me to...like...
-
Just seeing if I can get some
insider info from you or anything.
-
It's kind of awkward for me to
ask Binshen,
-
I mean we've never specifically discussed
this. But he has more or less
-
told me his type.
-
He's kind of talked to me about it.
-
For one, he likes girls
with a Korean look.
-
- Korean...
- I think you're like that.
-
Like, more cutesy and adorable.
-
Right?
-
His favorite female Kpop idol...
-
- I think he's mentioned that.
- Yeah?
-
Who does he like?
-
I don't really remember.
-
Okay.
-
Wasn't it IU?
[T/N: a Korean singer]
-
Probably.
-
Okay.
-
No, Popsicle.
-
Sit.
-
- Oh hell no, this is just--
- He messed up.
-
A tragedy.
-
- Carmon's trying so hard.
- But she's going to be so sad.
-
- Heartbroken.
- So hurt.
-
The more she tries the more it'll hurt.
-
Carmon definitely can't handle this.
-
And we have to address
the fact that there's a "shit-stirrer".
-
- This guy.
- Yeah.
-
This Curry!
-
"Korean-like"! What are you saying?
-
You literally said yourself
that Yujie looks Korean.
-
- They couldn't be more different.
- I just don't get it.
-
He said himself on camera that Yujie is
more of a "Korean" beauty.
-
But put yourself in Curry's shoes
and think about it.
-
Binshen asked her out. He thinks
it's a good thing. Right?
-
- Yes. It makes sense...
- "This all works out!"
-
"Perfect, everyone's paired up
so no one has to fight!"
-
Do you think Binshen asking her
to an exhibition was okay?
-
Is that right, that method?
-
It's really
-
a bit cowardly, I think.
-
- You can say it.
- I can't.
-
You can be harsher.
-
It's not "a bit cowardly".
-
Just "very cowardly".
-
Just, why do you have to make a whole
thing of asking someone out,
-
taking her to an exhibition
to hurt her there?
-
Do you think she won't be hurt?
-
Honestly it would be
better to ignore her.
-
- Just avoid her.
- Just say it!
-
"I had dinner with Yujie."
-
"We're getting really close."
That would be a better.
-
But I don't think he has it in
him to be that straightforward.
-
Is that too straightforward?
-
When he got back Carmon said,
have you eaten yet?
-
"I ate. I ate with Yujie."
-
To casually slide that in,
and gently sting her.
-
Gently give her the sting,
-
This is the most,
I think it's the most tactful.
-
Yes.
-
He actually is treating Carmon
like this weak, vulnerable, tender thing.
-
If he just said it directly,
she could actually bear it.
-
She would accept it,
there's not much between us,
-
just a few interactions.
-
But he has to make a mess of things
-
and send her the wrong message.
-
- Carmon thinks he wants to...
- To confess or something.
-
She asks Curry about it
-
because to her, the only
obstacle between them is age.
-
Actually, no. The obstacle is,
this guy doesn't like her.
-
But she doesn't know.
-
But she would think, if he
doesn't like me,
-
why would he be dumb
enough to ask me out?
-
If we give him benefit of the doubt,
Binshen thinks
-
everyone shares this living space,
and he doesn't want to make this house
-
feel awkward for everyone.
He wants to do it outside.
-
Why an exhibition though?
There's no good moment.
-
How could there be?
-
He's hinting to Carmon,
I want to pick your favorite place.
-
I want to take you to your favorite place
to dump you.
-
I don't think he plans to at all.
-
He has no plans to
really say those words there.
-
He's just going with
whatever that girl wants.
-
He doesn't want to hurt anyone.
Every person has
-
a great potential to hurt others.
-
And Binshen's hurt comes from his
inability to speak honestly.
-
He hurts Carmon deeply
and Yujie too, just because
-
he can't say no to people.
That's what I think.
-
Can we predict what will
happen on the date?
-
I think Binshen will
-
I think he'll say it.
-
I was actually
expecting good things from him.
-
And then he went home
and didn't say it.
-
And even asked her out.
-
- He had the perfect chance.
- Now I think he doesn't have the guts
-
to say it. He probably can't.
- He won't say it.
-
Binshen can't handle
hurting a girl.
-
Yes. Can't get the words out.
-
But he also can't quite give up Yujie.
-
Then he may as well date neither.
-
He might just decide to give up,
-
In order to avoid hurting them.
"Whatever, I'll date no one."
-
Ok, so this episode of
Shanghai Share Life ends here.
-
We can't wait for the next one.
-
See you next week!
-
- Goodbye!
- Goodbye.
-
A netizen from Weibo says,
-
"I've been working
in a big city for 10 years."
-
But it's unlikely that I'll obtain
a hukou (resident permit).
-
I've seen old friends buy homes
and thrive in my hometown.
-
I've thought about moving back,
but I don't want to give up
-
so many years of hard work.
Should I keep struggling here?
-
Or go home while I'm still young?
-
And seek a more stable life?
-
I think every person has their own
-
way of life.
-
Different things make different people
feel at home.
-
If you feel most comfortable in
your hometown, more at ease,
-
there's no need to force yourself
into the city.
-
But if your dream is the big city,
-
and a city is the only way to fulfill you,
-
you have to go to the city.
