Welcome back to Shanghai Share Life!

This show is sponsored by
the sports app Keep.

We're watching six young adults
living together.

This is the eighth episode.

Things are moving in a very
interesting direction, right?

-It's gotten a little weird.
-Yes.

It's stopped making sense.

None of us really understand what Binshen
is trying to do. What's with you, man?

He actually asked Carmon
to see an exhibit.

Just let me know after dinner,
then let's buy tickets for the exhibit.

We're going?

-Yes.
-Just the two of us?

I suddenly thought of something.

Maybe he's really taking Yujie's words to
heart?

"Don't hurt Carmon!"

Maybe.

As for our friend Tianqi, last month 3,500
yuan was deducted from his salary.

It seems that President Liu's words
helped Tianqi wake up.

Let's see if Tianqi can finally be more
mature in his behavior.

More importantly, let's see if things will
finally become clear with Binshen and Carmon.

Let's watch.

We can talk about Tianqi later,
let's watch the exhibit first.

-I wonder what kind of exhibit it'll be.
-A heartbreaking exhibit.

Episode 8, Week 4
"The Things I Do for You"

Come here!

Er Lang!

Airing out the quilt?

The weather's nice today, so
I took out the quilt to dry it.

How's your script going?

It's been okay, lately we've been
working on it nonstop.

I'm starting on the follow-up script.

I feel like I didn't do well enough.

I kind of blame myself because I feel like
I delayed you.

Not at all!

You have to have more confidence.

I think we really needed you.

Actually, after our script meeting yesterday,
when you presented your work...

I thought you seemed different
from when I first met you.

Different?

When I first met you,
you seemed super macho!

You didn't listen to anything
that others were saying.

When?

From the very first time!

When we first moved in?

Yeah, when we first met.

Then, as I got to know you better,
I realized, oh... he's okay.

Then when I worked with you yesterday,
I was thinking

Work is work and life is life.

You have a lot of persistence, which...

This kind of persistence is good
when it comes to work.

But with friends, since it was my first
impression of you, it was a turn-off.

-You thought you wouldn't like me.
-I reacted badly.

Actually, in the beginning...

Because of the dog incident,
I also misunderstood you.

But after we all started communicating,
we got to know each other better,

So we were able to resolve our
previous misunderstandings.

It was really nice.

Let's get a meal together sometime.

Sure.

But let's schedule it another time,
I'm really busy.

Uh oh, sounds like you're still
waiting to judge me some more.

Who knows?

Hi, Teacher Curry!

Hi.

You're working on your script?

Yeah.

I want to see if any of the content
needs to be be modified a bit.

How was talking with Yujie?

We just said we would keep trying.

[panelist] She wants to talk about Tianqi.

You're the only guy at home?
The others are out?

No one's in the room.

Um...

What's up?

Do you think Wang Tianqi was acting
a little weird yesterday?

It's just that... yesterday he slammed the
door like that going back to the room.

It feels like he's been in
kind of a bad mood lately.

Like his morale has been kind of low.

If you've got nothing to do,
you can spend some time looking after him.

I am!

We all are.

If something happens, doesn't he usually
tell you, not me?

Why would he tell me?

It's just a feeling.

You coming to me to speculate
doesn't feel right.

Then who should I speculate with?

I'll ask Binshen later.

Sure.

Chu Mengna (Nana)
Student, 22 years old

Chen Xiaowei (Binshen)
Professional gamer, 23 years old

Jin Yujie
Model, 22 years old

Liu Keli (Curry)
Entrepreneur, 29 years old

Wu Kawen (Carmon)
Designer, 29 years old

Wang Tianqi
Salesperson, 26 years old

Here, I'll dry it.

Move.

[panelist] Wow, good match.

[panelist] Crazy leg shaking!

Yujie, would you mind
getting some chopsticks?

[panelist] I think Mr. Liu wants
to ruin the mood.

- He doesn't want them standing together.
- He wants to separate them.

- [panelist] Do it yourself!
- Thank you.

His leg is "injured."

I'm off today, so I might
as well rest thoroughly.

Then Carmon, we'll have to
spoon-feed President Liu later.

No way.

I'll just lie down like this.

Absolutely not.

You flung it on me!

Who's back?

-Oh, everyone's here.
-Why are you back so early?

Why back so early today?

There was an event,
so I got dismissed early.

Weren't you supposed to
come back at 8?

I got off earlier.

You're back early because of an event?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?

No, I can't leave if there's no event.
I have to just stand there.

Tianqi, have some congee.

I'll have a bowl, thanks.

There's something I want to bring up.

What is it?

I have a friend coming to see me
for a couple days.

I invited him here to hang out with us,

so I wanted to discuss with you all.

Is that okay?

Sure.

Very happy to finally have a guest.

Exciting!

Finally, some fresh blood!

I've known him for a long time, ten years.

Then why don't we..

cook a meal to welcome him?

- Curry!
- Feels like you're forcing chores on me.

Look at yourself today!
You didn't do anything!

Okay, okay.

Then I'll cook, okay?

If it's no bother, thank you.

So... Wang Tianqi has a friend coming?

I'm looking forward to it.

I can't wait to see
what his friend is like.

- Because it's our first visitor.
- Yeah.

- Tianqi's friend will probably..
- Be similar to him, right?

- I was thinking that too.
- I have a feeling he will.

I think we'll all get along.

- They're friends, after all.
- Yeah.

Do you feel like he's been
a little weird lately?

Tianqi?

I just remembered,

once when I was on break

I saw that he bought three
buns in the morning.

That's all he ate the whole day.

Didn't he have three bowls of rice
for breakfast once?

Yeah.

Maybe he's dieting?

I just thought of something.

What is it?

Didn't Tianqi used to
collect model cars?

Once when I was going to work,

he was taking pictures of them
to sell them.

I don't know if maybe he
started having financial problems or what.

Selling the model cars?

What's going on?

Based on his spending habits,

it's probably not that.

Um...

Well...

He invited you to see that play, right?

Yeah.

It seems like he sold the model cars
for that.

How do you know?

Because I saw him when I was going to work

and we talked.

You saw him?

When he was taking pictures of the cars.

Here, I'll show you, look.

He really liked them.

He loves them,
I've heard him talk about it.

But he sold them?

I didn't know that.

I didn't either.

Where did he sell them?

I'm not sure, because afterwards
I left in a hurry to go to work.

He was still taking pictures.

What to do..

Are you okay?

I didn't think he would do
such a thing

just to take me to that play.

But he did..

But why would he do that?

I remember that day when I
brought it up, I said,

I kinda want to watch a play

and I like this play in particular.

- He remembered it.
- Yeah.

He really wanted to spend some
alone time with you.

I could have bought the tickets.

But he did it.

He definitely wouldn't have let you,
he's a man.

But there was no need to sell
all his model cars.

Nana seems a bit shocked.

She didn't realize he exchanged his cars
for the sweet potatoes she ate.

- She feels terrible.
- And then she rejected him.

But she can't not reject him
just because of this.

She feels like her rejection
was crueler because of it.

However, it could mean
the rejection was more justified.

Yeah.

Why?

Only little boys would do
this kind of thing.

Shouldn't a part of her feel
happy or touched by it, too?

If he was thirteen, I'd be happy.

Not if he was 23.

Actually, I think this is one of
his strengths. He's courageous in love.

- He's willing to give--
- Disagree!

He only sold the cars.

If you sell the cars
while also working hard,

your act of selling the cars is romantic.

But if you only sell the cars
and you're not working hard,

then it's childish.

You can't burn your own boat [an idiom]
to pay for something.

It has to be sustainable.

It was the fastest way to get the money.

He couldn't say,
"Wait for me to save for 5 months."

"Wait 3 months."

I'll do well for 3 months,
and then we can watch the play.

I need you to give me a sense of stability

instead of selling model cars for me.

Be a car model for me

instead of selling model cars for me.

I think Nana will feel
that she made the right call.

So she feels apologetic.

It would be a pit of suffering.

She absolutely can't be with him.

Maybe Nana will buy back
his model cars.

- Maybe she'll think of a way.
- Don't, that'd be so stupid.

It's like they're playing house.

Maybe she'll buy 2 more tickets
for the same play

and say, you can have these back.

No, that'd be so childish.

But what if?

Tianqi really only ate three buns.

Have you ever had such a hard time?

I have.

When I was living alone in Beijing,

I didn't really have any money.

I was saving to eat.

You order takeout

and you choose one that's really filling

- so you can save half for dinner.
- Like rice bowls.

Stuff like that.

In college, when I earned some extra
spending money for myself

I went to convenience stores
and buy those hot little buns

In the winter, I would hide it
in my down jacket

since I didn't want it to get cold.

When I got hungry I hid
in the corner of the subway to eat it.

I didn't want others to see me.

I had circumstances like that.

When I was in college,
there was an awareness

to not spend your parents' money.

So there were lots of those kinds of
group performances

with guest actors where
you could earn 200 or 300 yuan in a day.

It was some of my happiest times

because I was so happy to
earn my own money.

What about you, Ziqi?

- I..
- Any frugal times?

In elementary school...

Every week in elementary school

I got pocket money, right?

At the time, I liked Twins
[a pop group].

I would go and draw for their cards,
one yuan per card.

That would leave me with 20 yuan.

Then I'd eat a bun for 7 yuan.

So each time I could save 13 yuan.

I'd get 80 yuan every two weeks

Just to buy eight of their cards.

Have you told Twins about this?

- No!

- After you grew up and met them,
you didn't tell them?

Yes, but after the first sentence,
I felt like it was weird to be like,

I was obsessed with you as a kid.

You can't say that kind of thing.

But President Liu showed us today..

Mature President Liu.

He was...

Not very mature in this segment!

He made someone else get him chopsticks.

- He wanted to disrupt the--
- Mood.

- Ok, President Liu.
- Not bad.

These past 2 episodes, he's
been making a better impression.

His clever tricks.

Hi.

Hello hello.

Excuse me.

Why are you up so early today?

Early shift.

Have you eaten?

Nope. There's nothing to eat, I checked.

There's corn.

Do you want it?

Nah.

I'm going to work then.

What's wrong with your leg?

Twisted it playing basketball.

- Be careful.
- Okay.

Why the sigh?

Oh, I just..

I'm sighing at myself.

What's up?
Is something wrong?

Do you remember Binshen,

the guy who came to the coffee festival?

- The guy who came to tie that ribbon?
- Yes, him.

That night he asked me out
to go to an exhibit.

All of a sudden?

[panelist] Her whole face lit up.

So how do you feel?

I'm very happy,

But... a little bit confused.

So I thought I'd consult you.

Are you scared of going out with him?

Well... it's going to a museum alone
with a guy...

And?

I'm worrying about what to wear.

What are you wearing?

He seems to like a Korean celebrity
called IU.

She's really going to be role-playing.

Oh God.

This Mr. Liu is such a shit-stirrer.

I'll look her up.

I think if you dress up like IU
it wouldn't be your own style.

I think you look like her in some ways.

She dresses more sweetly.

I think it would be most fitting
to just wear the clothes you like.

I don't know.
Should I prepare something?

Like..

In TV, like in Japanese shows,

the girls always prepare
some food or something.

- Lunch?
- Is it weird to take it to the exhibit?

I rarely see you show
such a caring side to guys.

I think if you're so busy

the guy should also
give you some time.

I think it's a good start.

A good start.

Maybe with this exhibit
I can learn more about him.

Have you thought about

how to make the next date
when you're there?

- Seize the opportunity when it comes.
- Should I?

Um..

You can ask him what to do for Halloween
at the end of the month.

I'm taking it step by step.

You got here quickly.

I got your call, didn't I?

I had to come.

How nice of you.

[panelist] Just borrow money
from this friend!

Why sell the model cars? Ugh.

You didn't have work today?

A couple days after
I called you, I quit.

You quit? Why?

I didn't need the job.

Wow, he quit!

This idiot.

He hasn't made any progress or growth.

[panelist] They're in a bar?

Hanging out with his bro.

He's like a Beijing youth.

You're back.

- It's been a long time since we played.
- Indeed.

After you left, I couldn't
find anyone to play pool with.

Do you still play?

I don't have time.
At least not when I was working.

- Now I can.
- Let's play while I'm here.

Let's do it.

There's a basketball court at our house.

Your little life here seems nice.

It's okay.

I get by.

In your house, is there any..

What?

Someone you like?

You could say I like someone.

And?

Tell me more.

I thought it was going pretty well,
you know?

Then not long ago I went
to see a play with her.

And...

I took the chance to confess my feelings.

Nice, and?

- I had never done it before, and then-
- Now you're together?

I got rejected.

She dumped me.

Why did she reject you?

She said liking someone isn't
the same as being with them.

She thinks firstly,
we haven't known each other long enough.

Second..

Her work life is still developing.

Mine, too.

My work isn't very stable right now.

So...

I mean, I quit already.

What are you planning?

Get a job first?

Nana

Who is it?

Why aren't you picking up?

Don't want to.

Who is it?

The one who rejected me.

And you won't pick up?

What's there to say?
There's nothing to say.

But you can't ignore them.

I'm not ignoring,
I still talk to her face to face.

Right now there's no need.

Right now, I really can't
get anything I want.

It's okay, take it step by step.

At least things can't get worse
than they already are.

Right?

True.

It's all uphill from here.

You make me sound so pitiful right now.

- Honestly.
- It's okay, focus on finding a job first.

Yeah, but I don't even have a direction.

Take it slowly.

It's okay.

It seems like Tianqi has gotten
even worse than before.

Before, at least he maintained his job.

But now he's quit!

From the perspective of what
President Liu said to him,

what he did was right.

Your first job is for paying tuition.

He feels like he's pretty much
done with that.

He wants to look for the next job
that's not just for tuition.

Didn't Nana say she really cared about
the stability of their jobs?

Now he doesn't even have one.
He really can't face her.

He certainly can't say to her,

"I was awesome today, I quit my job."

He doesn't care about Nana.

If he did, he definitely
shouldn't have quit.

Maybe he doesn't think much.

He cares, but he can't control
who he is.

He can't act wisely.

He's still rash.

On the other hand, young people
watching SHSL

might have a lot of empathy for him.

Yeah.

Tianqi will try to impress people, but
he lives beyond his means.

- The bar they went to definitely wasn't cheap.
- Definitely not.

- Just to keep face.
- Yeah.

So stupid, for the sake of his pride.

He's screwed.

It wouldn't be like this
if he weren't so prideful.

Actually, many people around me
are like this.

He's a guy, but I'm talking about girls.

For example, if there's a new bag,

maybe I'll buy it. And
the first thing I do isn't using it,

it's taking pictures with it.

I'll tell my friends,
"Look, I got this bag."

I won't say if I bought it myself
or if someone gave it to me.

Either way, I have this new bag.

Other people aren't necessarily rich,

but I want them to know,
I'm not worse than you.

Someone else sees it and
wants the bag too,

so maybe they take an entire
month's salary to spend on the bag.

There are so many people like this.

He uses this to escape the reality

that he needs to struggle and work hard
to get the things he wants.

He wants to escape this process.

He's like, "I'm going to
prioritize my vanity."

- "That's enough."
- Right, that's enough.

It's an escape.

Just living in his own world.

Yes, it's an escape from reality,
from real life.

Because there are a lot of terrible
things that happen in real life.

There are struggles that are
painful and difficult.

These things..

Maybe this kid doesn't want to see them.

Yeah.

There's this movie or TV show
with a popular line,

"Evasion is shameful but useful."

But I think this idea is absurd.

In my eyes, it is shameless to escape
but also useless.

Escape isn't shameful,
everyone's done it.

We're sitting around talking about
other people, but we do it too.

"Whatever, fuck it, let's drink" or
"I'm not going to think about it."

There's no point,
you have to bear it.

Yeah, where can you hide?

There's nowhere to go.

Your issues have to be dealt with.

I agree.

Tianqi really showed who he was
in this segment.

He's at rock bottom.

He's even ignoring Nana now.

He's regressing, to sum it up.

His entire pattern of behavior
is like this.

His relationship with his family is also
like, if it's hard then I give up.

I'm fine only eating three buns a day.

He's playing pool with his friend
like nothing's wrong.

- Every day he has his silly fun.
- And avoids.

He slides by.

When he talks to Nana
about his feelings,

- and the chat turns to careers, plans-
- All those things came back.

He pulled off the blanket
to find a pile of trash.

He can only cover it again
and pretend it's not there.

- Yeah.
- Escaping from himself.

He gives up very easily,
for example in love.

And as soon as work gets frustrating
he quits.

Why? Because he's not willing to
put in any effort whatsoever.

Whether in emotion or in work,
he doesn't put in any effort.

So he can't progress or be rewarded.

Yes, yes.

He wouldn't put himself
in that position.

He'll always push it away.

Some people don’t have to leave home
to grow up.

But some people can't grow up
even if they run to the ends of the world.

I think the issue is his own mentality.

I think if he hadn't sold his model cars,

but instead had asked for an advance
on his paycheck to see the play with her

so that he owes the money to his boss
and can't quit,

but then he still quits,

I think that would have been
more interesting.

Tianqi won't face any big tragedies

but there's no end to
his little tragedies.

We have another friend named Carmon

who is about to suffer from a big tragedy.

We still haven't seen it happen.

She consulted her friend for ages

And even looked at photos of IU.

As if love is so easy.

Everyone wants the kind of love
that lasts for a long time.

This time he initiated
asking her out to an exhibit.

She thinks it has a special meaning.

But she did something that
shocked me a bit.

The part where she wanted
to dress like IU.

- Would she really do that?
- Yes!

When a girl has an important date, she
puts a ton of thought into her appearance.

Look at Yujie.

Even when she went to eat beef offal,

you saw how she did her hair nicely
and dressed up.

I think it's because
at least you can control your style.

No matter how hard I work,
I wouldn't look like IU.

I can only be myself.

No point in trying.

I might as well be funny.

You can wear whatever,
people will say "oh my!"
[a pun on "IU"]

Then maybe it will subconsciously
make them think of IU.

Come on, let's see the exhibit.

They still haven't shown us yet.

Come on!

Hello!

What's that you're holding?

Guess.

I'll show you.

Open it.

Shall I open it?

You do it.

I'm so moved, seeing the two of you.

No, it's..

You two are so good together.

He'll be really happy.

I don't know much anyway..

Then...

How are you going to give it to him?

I was planning to give it to him today

but I just waited for him all afternoon

and he still hasn't come back yet,
so I came up first.

Maybe he's too busy.

Maybe..

I don't understand what's happened
with him lately.

But I don't know how to ask.

I hope..

You could just take advantage of
the moment when you give it to him?

- Yeah..
- Have a chat.

I just hope seeing it
can cheer him up a bit.

It will.

[to the box] It's all up to you.

Still sleeping?

It's time to get up,
look at the time.

What time is it?

It's noon, my dude.

Isn't that normal?

Why have you been home so much lately?

I've been on break.

I'll have training as soon as it's over.

We're preparing for the Asia Cup.

What countries are you playing?

A lot of countries.

Did Tianqi not come back?

Seems he hasn't come back
in a couple days.

He's been under pressure at work lately.

Yeah, it seems like he's been
a little depressed or something.

What's up with him?

His work conditions haven't been great.

And he was scolded by their manager again
and got his wages deducted.

So..

He's been kind of down.

Because he feels that
he's been working really hard

but the way their company treats employees
is very strict.

Isn't that pretty standard?

Maybe he doesn't really understand it

because he went to school in Japan
and just re-entered society.

He's not really aware of these norms.

- So if his work attitude improves..
- Yeah.

Things will get better.

How have you been lately?

About what?

I'm just adjusting after the game.

Taking a break for a couple days.

Carmon told me the other day--

We were walking the dogs, right?

She told me...

- She asked you out. Or you asked her out?
- I asked her out.

To see the exhibit.

[panelist] Binshen.

Don't let me down, Binshen.

You have to say it!

Tell him you're planning to reject her.

Say no!

Hurry up.

It's okay. Nice!

I think Carmon is great.

She's pure and very practical.

And she works hard.

In our group, who isn't good?
Everyone's great.

- I'm--
- Maybe you like her more?

No, I'm just saying this on your behalf.

Because after all,
she's also very active, right?

If she likes a guy,

she's brave enough to say it.

She's good in every way.

Yeah.

So...

Have a good date!

No, it's just for the exhibit...

I haven't been to one before,

so I'm curious about it.

I'm just curious because I haven't
been exposed to a lot of things.

It's new to me.

Sure. Then.. good luck.

- Ok, I'm going to work.
- Go ahead.

Have a good date!

It needs to reflect in
a more contentious way,

and he does everything intentionally

so I want to use some Chinese idioms
to write her lines

so it looks like she's
always carrying it.

You can listen to my pronunciation,

and tomorrow morning let's communicate
about this in more detail.

You're back?

I just had the script meeting.

What have you been up to?
You haven't come back in a few days.

Just hanging out.

Where did you go yesterday?

Me?

Nothing really.

Why didn't you answer my call?

I guess I was playing pool
and I forgot.

I'm going to sleep.

Get some rest.

Don't cry, I'm begging you.

She probably won't.

- She definitely cried.
- For sure.

She's really hurt.

She never thought he would
treat her with this attitude.

But what makes no sense to me is
why would you go buy a model car?

It's idiotic.

I can't understand it either.

If you're going to say that stuff
to him..

focus on your career,

let's stabilize,
let's work hard

before we can be together,

then don't engage with the car thing.

You want to make that gesture
but you don't want to be with him.

You think he's immature, so why is
your approach to it also immature?

That's not an adult way to deal with it.

There was another scene that broke me.

My well-intentioned speculations
came to nothing.

Binshen had the gall to say,
I'm just curious about the world.

- I just want to see an exhibit.
- That's all it is.

Gosh, I've never been to an exhibit.

I just want to see it.

What are you doing, man?

Bro, what are you doing?
What are you saying?

- How can he make such a simple thing so--
- Complicated?

- And so confusing.
- Yeah.

He's making a mess of it.

He only needs to say one thing.

For the sake of avoiding that one topic
he's making a huge mess.

Yeah.

"I want to see the exhibit because
I'm curious about the world."

"I'm this, I'm that."

He went in a big circle

and still didn't say it.

Do you think he'll be able to say it?

No way.

Didn't we take a vote before?
Who thinks he'll say it?

- Me.
- Me.

Sorry, but at this point I think
he only wants to see the exhibit.

If he couldn't bear to say it to Curry,
how can he say it to Carmon?

He can't even tell President Liu.

What if he does manage to get it out?

He's just a boy.

I think this type of person really
encourages the audience to worry for them,

- think for them, urge them on.
- You want to push them.

- I think it's actually a good--
- Personality.

Great to watch.

-So is this the end of our episode?
-That's it?

It can't be!

That's it for today.

Dear viewers, please trust that the six
of us are just as angry as you guys.

We were really looking forward to
seeing the exhibit

and what Binshen would do.

We don't know what will happen next.
Let's look forward to the next episode.

Goodbye!
