The population of single adults in China
has already reached 260 million.

Of these, more than 77 million adults
currently live alone.

Adults from ages 26 to 30 that live alone
make up 64.73% of this number.

They are called "empty nest youth."

In this context, we are conducting
a social experiment.

Using Shanghai as as backdrop, we have
built a shared living space.

We've chosen a representative group
of city youth

to live together for 105 days

showing their different emotions
and life struggles

recording their emotional connections

describing each individual's hard work,
difficulties, and coming-of-age story.

We've broken with the norms of reality
television filming

using the most simple tactics
to create this long-term project.

105 days of real filming

allowing time to tell the story.

We have tried to innovate by using
the latest

technology and techniques
to shoot the mundanities of life.

Everything is shot in 4k

to render the essence of life.

In good faith, we want to explore
deeper life questions

that resonate the most universally.

Using a diverse array of characters
to express

the many dimensions of human emotions

that represent the lives of urban youth
and their core life experiences.

Shanghai Share Life

From strangers to close friends

from kindness to healing

"being together" can be a collective
exercise for this new generation

to expand the possibilities of what
"home" could look like.

Shanghai Share Life
The open door is waiting for you

Good evening everyone, my name is Li Dan!

Welcome to Shanghai Share Life.

We are about to watch six real people

who have been "shut in" together by us

living together for 105 days.

So we are about to see
a very exciting show.

- Let's introduce ourselves in this order.
- Alright.

Hello everyone!

I'm the all-capable [pun on her name]
Cen Keyi

Cen Keyi
Actor, singer, dancer

I'm here because I've been very busy
with work engagements

and over time I've been feeling
socially isolated

I'm here just to experience
a little bit of

the zest of life

and to make my own life feel
a little more interesting

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

It's my turn?

You're not important!
You're next, Ziqi.

What do you mean!

Hi everyone, I'm Yang Li

I'm a talk show host.

Yang Li
Talk show host, Comedian

My reason for coming here is pretty simple

I'm your friend to observe life with!

For writing skits, you need--

Yes, I've pretty much run out of
material from my own life

so I'm looking for new perspectives.

Next, Ziqi!

Hi everyone, I'm Deng Ziqi.

Deng Ziqi
Singer, Lyricist

Those of you who are my fans all know that

I'm a huge gossip.
I really love gossip.

and if you gossip about me,
it doesn't hurt me. [an idiom]

Is that how the saying goes?

Anyway, I just love it.

I love gossiping and I love
shooting the breeze

so that's why I'm here.

Welcome, welcome.

Let's welcome Professor Chen.

Hi everyone, I'm Chen Jianbin.

Chen Jianbin
Actor, Director

Just now when Li Dan was talking about
observing life

Actually, the art of observing people
is a topic in our

Fundamentals of Performance course
at the Central Academy of Drama.

So as soon as she said that
it prompted a lot of thoughts for me.

I really think that through this show

we can witness the real unfiltered lives
of these people.

That's essentially my purpose
in coming here.

Thank you.

Great!

In a moment these young boys and
girls are

going to evoke some old memories for you.

Next, Daqun!

Hi everyone, I'm Liang Daqun.

Liang Daqun
Actor

I'm here for the same reasons as
Professor Chen.

Like he said, I think at Central Academy
of Drama observing people

is a...specialty.

At Shanghai Drama Academy
they say the same thing.

Do you feel a little nervous
sitting next to Professor Chen?

A little nervous.

You're wearing your nice shoes

and your back is so straight, relax!

What are you doing?

I know it's a tradition
in the drama school

as soon as we get on stage
our face turns red.

Alright, now let's put in our headphones

and watch the first segment together.

We'll get to know them a little bit.

[Chu Mengna] I’m a performance studies
student at DongHua University.

I'm in my third year.

In my spare time I’ll usually take some
gigs shooting commercials

to pay for tuition and living expenses.

[cameraman]: Good, good, not bad.

Work often starts at midnight and
ends in the early dawn.

That's pretty much my daily life.

[cameraman]: Ok, that's enough. Cut.

Often when I'm off work and head back
to the dorm

I find that the gate's already locked.

So I chose to come to SH Share Life

because at least I won't have to worry
about not having somewhere to sleep.

To be honest, my dream is to become
a real, legitimate actress.

[girl] Can’t you just try other things?
How old are you?

I just like this one!

However, considering my current situation

it seems pretty hard.

I don't have many acting opportunities

and I'm aware
that I'm no great talent or prodigy.

[director] I didn't hear a single line
you just said.

Did you rehearse this?

I'm graduating next year

so reality might hit me.

My dreams might not come true.

[Wang Tianqi] Why even bother
talking about dreams?

Don't make me laugh.

Just look at me.

I came to Shanghai this year.

Before I was in Japan studying
International Business.

My mom chose that major for me.

My own passion is clothing design,
so I've always fought with my mom.

Lately we've stopped talking.

Forget my dreams,

my day-to-day life has been hard enough
lately, living paycheck to paycheck.

So the idea of Shanghai Share Life to me,

just the idea of having free rent for a
while was honestly pretty appealing.

How long can I survive like this?
It's pretty depressing.

[Curry] As long as you can make
things work, you can survive.

If you can't make it work,
you just have to accept reality.

I've opened three different
"internet celebrity" restaurants.

All went bankrupt.

These days I'm working hard to
turn my life around.

I'm living communally with
my employees right now.

They often complain quietly that
they lack personal space.

So this is perfect because I can move to
Shanghai Share Life

and give them some more space.

But now having distance between my
employees and myself is kind of worrying.

Love is the most upsetting thing in life.

[friend] Where's your boyfriend?

He cheated.

Other things basically don't matter.

Nothing ever goes smoothly when
it comes to love.

I only came back to Shanghai
because of my boyfriend.

But before I could get here, he
cheated on me.

I may as well have fed four years
of my youth to the dogs.

Living by myself gets lonelier
and lonelier.

So I wanted to come to Shanghai
Share Life to have some company.

I don't know how long heartbreak
takes to heal.

In any case

I feel like I've poured half my life
down the drain.

[Wu Kawen] If you've wasted
half your life,

at least you still have the next half
of your life to live, right?

At least it was something
meaningful while it lasted.

I'm 29 this year
and still single.

My parents keep pushing me to marry.

It's like if I can't find a husband I'm
just the dregs of society.

I still hope I can meet some men
organically

so I wanted to go to Shanghai
Share Life to make some friends.

I can't always be thinking,

I'm too old, too old, too old.

[Chen Xiaowei] Ok, stop.

If someone says "too old" to me
one more time

I'm going to go crazy.

I'm 23 already.

[crowd] Binshen! Binshen! Binshen!

Among e-sports athletes, I'm
considered really old.

He got me!

I'm a piece of shit! So annoying!

I get anxious when my coaches
and my teammates

start talking to me about retirement
and stuff like that

but I don't know what I can do
after I retire.

It's weighing on me.

By coming to Shanghai Share Life and
living with other people my age

I might be able to relax a little.

Anyway, this is my life:

on the outside, fame and glory.

But in reality it's a huge mess.

[Wang Tianqi] So it turns out
we're all a mess.

That makes me feel a lot better.

We'll be a bunch of losers living
together!

This group...

Might as well call us the
"Losers Alliance"!

[panelist]: Oh god, those people who
carry teddy bears outside are the worst!

Seriously!

She's not carrying a teddy bear,
it's a potato.

That's even weirder.

Aha, found it.

I think..

This is better.

She's tapping her leg, she's
already excited.

I feel like she's gonna date in the house.

- Definitely.
- She seems like the type.

[panelist] He's here.

His profile from the back's not bad.

- Hello!
- Hello, hello.

- Just you?
- Yeah. Please sit!

Thanks.

[panelist] Just two people...
so awkward.

Is that yours? That bear.

Isn't it cute? It's nice to squish.

[panelist] What is she saying?

Sooo awkward.

Do you want to come sit over here?

Because I feel like this way, when they
come in, they won't see us.

Just now when you came in I heard noises
and I wanted to go to the door to

- scare you, and then I thought...better not.
- You wanted to scare me?

She wanted to scare him!

It's so awkward.

They're here!

This girl is so pale.

Sit anywhere!

This feels like it's already our home,
we're comfortable sitting anywhere.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Should we introduce ourselves?

Hi everyone, my name is Chu Mengna.

Chu Mengna.

And you can all call me Nana or Lala.

Lala. Okay.

My name is Jing Yujie.

That's a pretty name.

There must be others still coming, right?

Definitely.

Look how safety-conscious she is.

"Look, I'm here."

She's probably sending it to a friend,
"if I haven't come out in an hour..."

"Please come find me!"

Hello hello!

- Are you living here too?
- Yes, I am.

- I feel like this area's pretty good.
- Yeah.

I wonder if anyone's here yet.

- I'm Wang Tianqi.
- Wang Tianqi.

You have two suitcases,
let me get that big one.

[panelist] Wow, the first thing he
does is help her.

This boy is not awkward.

It's really two people.

- Hi everyone!
- Hi!

[panelist] Their height difference
is so cute.

Those two are the type that look like
they came out of a manga.

So cute.

Hello hello, welcome!

I guess we're welcoming you
to your own house.

Hi everyone!

You two came together? Or did you run
into each other at the door?

- We ran into each other at the door.
- Such a coincidence.

- My name is Wu Kawen.
- Kawen?

You can call me Kaka or Carmon.

I'm Chen Xiaowei, but everyone I know
calls me Chen Zebin.

- Or "Bin Shen"
- Huh, "Bin Shen"?

My gamer nickname, yeah.
You can call me Binshen.

- You must be really good at gaming.
- What?

Which games do you play?

[panelist] He looks disdainful.

I play a kind of competitive game.

Shh, someone's coming.

- Hello hello!
- Hello!

Hi, hi

- I'm the last one?
- Yep, you're the last.

Then I'll introduce myself now.
My name is Liu Keli.

People call me Curry.

- Curry.
- Yeah.

Have you guys been hanging out long?

- Not really.
- It's only been like half an hour, we
were waiting for you.

Oh, waiting for me?

- Have you seen the rooms yet?
- Not yet.

Want to go see?

- Okay.
- Sure.

- It looks really comfy.
- Feels pretty cool!

Wow, this is too nice!

And there's three mirrors, we
can all do makeup.

It feels like a young lady's room.

Not bad, this room!

It looks really comfortable.

There are heated blankets.

Such ambiance!

- There's even a basketball court.
- A basketball court!

This balcony is huge!

Look, there's persimmons!

It's so comfortable.

So bright and airy!

Hello! Can we come in?

Come in, come in.

You're wearing slippers?

- You can wear them, we're all wearing them.
- Okay.

- We're missing a...
- I'll sit up top.

Sure. Or we could let him sit up there?
It's his bed.

Let's not sit on his bed. I'll sit
over here.

It's your bed, so you can sit over there.

Seems like he's always getting
told what to do.

I like to sit on a bigger chair.

First off let's figure out how to take
care of tonight's dinner plans.

- We...
- Because we have to plan and buy
groceries. Right?

Oh, another thing. If you guys are
making dinner tonight

I'm gonna have to excuse myself. I have
a game tonight.

Oh, so tonight you won't be eating
with us, right?

- Yeah. Maybe later..
- After your game you'll come back?

- Yeah, I'll be back after.
- Then we'll save dinner for you.

- But it'll be late.
- No problem. You can have a late night
snack.

You can have a taste of my cooking.

Actually today I want to make a special
dish called Sichuan maoxuewang [a
spicy duck blood stew]

- Maoxuewang?
- Yeah, maoxuewang.

- Teacher, I can't eat spicy food.

I won't make it too spicy.
It's more aromatic.

And I can also make non-spicy foods.

Then let's head out first to grab some
groceries for dinner?

How about I stay home and clean
up a little?

- Sure. Then you two can come with me?
- Okay.

Then the three of us can go get
groceries now.

Okay, okay.

Let's wash three dishes and...
how about five bowls?

- Three dishes, right?
- Yeah.

Sounds good.

Oh no, these bowls are stuck together..
they don't want to be apart.

Here, I'll take it.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

I'll start cooking rice.

That's pretty much all. Let's
go rest for a bit.

You're pretty good.

I'm just okay.

Want to play?

- Oh, you know I play basketball?
- Just a guess.

- I can shoot a basket or two.
- Let's do it.

You're wearing slippers, you're not
scared of spraining an ankle?

It's ok if you don't move around
too much.

- This backboard is tiny.
- Yeah.

I'll try again.

Let's sit for a bit, take a break.

One of these days when I'm wearing
the right shoes and clothing

I'll face off with you properly.

I feel like everyone will know how to
play basketball, right?

- Are you a basketball pro or what?
- No, I just play for fun.

- Oh, you haven't trained?
- No. What about you?

Me? I guess in elementary and middle
school I was on the girls basketball team

In middle school I never saw girls
playing basketball.

At the time I was kind of boyish.

Playing basketball feels kind of boyish.

Yeah, it's pretty different from your
whole look now.

What do you mean my look?

Very feminine.

Feminine.. thank you! Actually I'm a boy
can you tell?

I couldn't tell actually

What do you guys eat? Oh, this thin
beef tendon is pretty good.

- This goes in hot pot.
- Then I'll get one.

And the fatty beef slices over there, I
think one of each could work.

- Do you guys want lamb?
- Let's get one.

- Okay. Isn't lamb cartilage pretty good?
- Whatever you say.

And there's chicken breast over there.

Get me one without the fat.

- Let's get those vegetables.
- Vegetables, okay.

- Omasum, tripe
- Let's get a box.

- Okay. Wait, you guys shouldn't put
things on top of the vegetables

- Put the eggs separately.
- Okay, okay

[panelists laughing]

Why are you laughing?

He reminds me of so many guys I know,
they're all like this.

They want to manage every detail for
you, you don't have to do a thing.

- Yeah.
- He's got our attention now.

Hey Curry, what should I help you with?

Here, you can call someone to wash
the vegetables with you.

I'll do it, no problem.

You can wash the cauliflower first,
break it off into florets.

- Then after I chop it we can rinse it.
- Okay.

- I can peel the garlic.
- Sounds good.

What should I do, teacher Liu?

Just help them rinse vegetables.

Rinse all that green onion and
everything else.

How do you peel this garlic? Is there
a technique? It's so hard to peel.

Tianqi, I have just the thing for you,
you'll like doing this.

Why don't you clear that table and set
it with bowls, chopsticks, and cups.

I can do that, but what do you
mean I'll like it?

No, you should do that because
those two girls are rinsing things.

Form now on the way we split up
work should be kind of...

Well, later we can have a meeting and discuss it.

- Sure.
- Otherwise it'll be too slow.

We have to have a meeting just
to make dinner?

Otherwise it'll be inefficient.

This is so chaotic.

This dish is something you don't
see every day in Shanghai.

Other than the hot pot seasoning,
which I didn't make,

the chili flakes and everything are
all homemade.

It's already ten and dinner's
still not ready.

Time to eat, you guys go ahead.
I'm going to make those other dishes.

Let's go get the others.

I already called them, they'll
come down in a sec.

Wow, this duck blood stew is really so..
it looks so appetizing!

Let's eat!

- You haven't even sat down,
how can we dare?
- Yeah.

- Eat, eat, really.
- Okay.

Thank you for dinner.

You can't even eat this duck blood stew
at Ban Bu Dian [a famous Sichuan
restaurant in Shanghai].

Seems like he's lived in Shanghai
a while.

Amazing!

It's delicious,
really really delicious.

Help yourself to more.

- Move aside, move aside.
- Here, I'll take it.

- Let's have a toast to celebrate.
- Yeah.

Thank you to our top chef,
Teacher Liu!

Tomorrow we can really drink, but today
we're missing a person.

Cheers!

You guys don't want to talk?

The food is so good.

No, this food is so good we can't talk.

Who's doing dishes today?

I remembered.

How about you do them yourself?

Then I'll be so lonely.

The person who napped can help
you do the dishes.

- What?
- Whoever napped can help you with the dishes.

Oh, you're saying me!

Yes, when we were cooking the three
of us all split the work.

Here's the thing, I think we generally
need to plan out the meals in this house.

If we want to go out to and buy groceries,
it's pretty far and inconvenient.

My suggestion is that we figure out
some essential types of meat

and use a one-time grocery delivery
service to get them delivered.

As for vegetables, there's something
nearby..

Let's not have this meeting right now,
there's no need.

No, we have to plan these things out.
Because this money is now everyone's money.

There's no need.

We have to work together to plan
these things.

Can't we just figure it out when
we go shopping?

Well, are you all okay with the
plan for meats?

- Sure.
- Okay. As for vegetables, how's this,

I'll find a nearby produce market specifically for vegetables.

I'll arrange with the shopkeeper there so
that every three or four days

they can deliver to us.

That way we'll have taken care of
the grocery issues.

And then as for what we're eating
every day, I'll make a schedule

and notify whoever's helping
me cook one day ahead

and then the next day whoever's paired
up with me can collect the ingredients

so that when I come home after work
I can start cooking straightaway.

This way will be a little
more efficient

and then we can all have dinner
at a reasonable time.

[panelist] He's sleepy.

How about this, for later on.

We can establish a secure place to
keep our living allowance

and I suggest having a girl manage it,
when the time comes

we can pick a person

or alternatively we can take
turns managing it.

I'm going to the bathroom.

As soon as he hears this
he tries to escape.

Okay, sounds good?

Do you guys have any questions
about other matters?

I think it makes sense to plan out how
we're going to split up household work.

Maybe we can wait until you guys
are done eating.

Just me left.

You guys talk, I'll keep eating.
We shouldn't waste food.

He's so fussy!

He has to plan everything.

- He's basically turned this share house
- Into his own business!

He must be so thrilled to have all
these free employees.

For a leader, he doesn't have
much leadership skill.

I mean he tries to lead, but he
doesn't have much power.

To be honest, I really feel
like Teacher Liu...

The first impression he gives me is that
he's a lot like a teacher, an interviewer.

He's so talkative!

I'm the kind of person who, if someone
is talking to me for a long time,

just on and on and on,
I'll just, like....

Zone out.

It just washes over me,
it's hard for me to concentrate.

It's not a good thing.

I feel like he really likes to
be the leader

and he really likes to plan things out.

Is it like a desire to control?

He seems like the kind of guy with
controlling tendencies.

It might have to do with my
astrological sign.

I'm a Sagittarius. I'm really independent.

You have to give me enough autonomy.

I hate the feeling of being controlled
every single minute, being constricted.

I'll feel like I'm falling apart, like
I'm going insane.

In the beginning if you really
like this person

you might tolerate it. But
after a while it's really impossible.

Yeah, it's like that.

If Teacher Liu sees this
won't he be really sad?

He should know, I feel like
he can sense what's happening.

Otherwise Tianqi wouldn't have told him
so upfront, like, "Stop with the meetings."

- Yeah.
- So... out of these three guys

which one is more your type?
- I'm guessing you're more into Curry.

- No.
- Is it... [makes gamer guestures]

- Yes!
- Yeah, he has a great smile.

Oh, you're into that? Then you
must like warm, friendly guys.

The kind of guy you feel really
comfortable talking to.

Wait, I just have to say

you know when you two came in
this morning I really felt like

the two of you had really matching
energies, like you fit together.

I don't know if it's your statures or
the way you two were dressed

but when you were standing
together I really felt like

you two had walked right
out of a manga together.

Like a perfect match.

What do you guys think of Tianqi's
type? I don't know.

I feel like he would like someone
with a unique personality. Like her!

Just like a very cool, very unique girl.

- I feel like his type is influencers.
- I think so too!

Yeah, right on point. I agree.

Then maybe Curry likes more
Western-style girls.

Pretty girls, and really feminine.

Come in.

- Did I imagine that?
- Hello! Come in.

Can you come out, I want to talk to
you for a minute.

- Me?
- Yeah.

- Me?
- Yes.

Ok.

It seems like there's
something happening.

It seems like everyone has
a strong reaction to Teacher Liu.

Yang Li, you go first.

Do you like him?

Do you like this type of guy?

Yeah, he's great.

We struck gold with this guy!

I got what I came for!

I feel like he isn't going to last long
on this show.

Yeah, I think so too!

I was thinking he might cause the
other five to quit the show!

He just met this girl and already he
wants to have a word with her?

What can he even say?

It's so...

He just inspected the dishes and they
didn't meet his standards of cleanliness

and he's going to make her do them again.

You're onto something!

He wipes it with a piece of paper and
he goes, "Can you tell me what this is?"

"Please answer me."

I feel like he must be trying to help her,
he can't be that stupid.

He can't seriously be trying
to teach her a lesson!

"What did you think of the food tonight?"

And then he says, "I like you a lot."

At night he goes up there and says,
"I think you're pretty attractive."

That's way too shameless!
No way he would do that.

I think he would do it.
He's planned it already.

Anyway, Curry's first impression on
everyone is definitely not good.

Still, even though he
micromanaged all day,

he did all the cooking, and he
ate after everyone else.

These kinds of people, they nit-pick a lot
but they also do a lot of the work.

But for what? At the end of the day
everyone trash talks him.

I think the main problem is that
he's in the wrong context.

For example, at his job, or in other settings,
he's probably really capable.

But in this kind of environment
his competence can be too much.

It's overbearing.

But you don't think men are
kind of lazy in general?

They don't like doing work.
At least this man does the work!

If he was as hardworking and
competent as he is,

and he didn't boss other people around,
I feel like that would be..

Yes, his problem is he's too demanding.

He commands people like,
you do this, you do that

it ends up offending people.

I think he's just a typical straight guy.

I actually don't hate him, I just think..
in real life, aren't all straight guys like this?

Tianqi is closer to our idea of that type.

He's a really typical guy.

- Really?
- "Stop with the meetings! Why have meetings?"

"Just cut it out!"

- I agree.
- He's the first one to challenge Curry's right to power.

- Yeah.
- He won't let him boss people around.

"Just let it go, just cut it out."

I have a feeling that the first fight in
the house will be between those two.

It'll definitely be those two.

I feel like Tianqi is pretty easygoing. He's like,
whatever you want me to do...

- I'll do it.
- He doesn't want to, but he does it.

"I can do it, but you can't
tell me I like it."

Cut the macho act.

Nana is really interesting too.

She says she can't stand guys like him

but actually when you watch her reactions to him
she's the most accommodating one.

"Delicious!"

What on earth does he want to
talk to Nana about? Let's find out.

- "Was the food to your taste?"
- "Do you like spicy food?"

You seem a bit tired.

I noticed you didn’t come down
to make lunch with us this afternoon.

Yeah, I was just asleep.

Are you feeling sick?

No, just a little tired.

You should sleep early then.

Don’t forget to do the dishes.

Didn’t I ask you to wash the dishes?

Now?

If you’re tired you can do it tomorrow.

Ok.

I just came up to remind you.

- Get some rest.
- Okay, night.

See? See?

It was actually about the dishes.

But this girl is kind of off, too.
Who eats dinner and leaves the dishes?

This girl is so confused right now.

We were just talking about him
and then he came!

Did he ask you out?

What??
Yes, exactly, he came to ask me out.

Guess what he asked me out to do.

Just tell us!

Teacher Liu told me to wash the dishes.

Wow…. that guy’s impressive.

So controlling, he has to
micromanage everything.

Everything has to be perfect.

I feel so weird...like,
was I just dreaming?

It’s like we summoned him
by talking about him.

At least we weren’t talking very loud.

Wang Tianqi, you’re just
getting here now?

I'm a little late.

You're ten minutes late.

They're going to dock you 100 RMB again.

You're going to get your pay docked
to nothing.

A hundred, right?

Just do your rounds and get in,
the boss is coming soon.

Alright.

President Liu, the customer
data was sent to your inbox

President Liu, do you mind responding to the
email that I sent you yesterday ASAP?

Got it

Hey, why are you washing those?

I dropped my chicken breast on the ground,
so I was going to boil it.

Oh ok, I thought you were
helping them do the dishes.

Should I?

No, why would you help them?

But the leftover food on the plates
is beginning to smell a little…

But we already decided that
we were going to make dinner

and then they’d do the dishes.

But.. but they’re coming
back pretty late tonight.

Still, you can’t help them wash them.

If you help them do it today,
then we won’t be sticking to the plan,

and later you’ll always
be the one doing it.

Then.. I’ll at least toss the
food on the plates.

Don’t.

Wait for them to come back to do it.

No matter how late they come back,
they should be the ones to do it.

...I’m just going to scrape
the plates really fast.

Don’t, why would you do it for them?

It’s just kinda beginning to smell..

The duck blood soup...

But...since we already decided it,

and we’re all going to be living
together for a while,

if you help them today it’s not going
to be the first time that this happens.

[panelist]: He's very principled.

It’s fine, it’s just scraping the plates…

just...

it's done!

Then how about this, just leave
them the rest of this soup

and other stuff to clean up later.

Okay, okay, I'll just...

And when they come back,
we can tell them to do it.

Okay, okay.

After you clean the plates and boil your
chicken breast, just leave it, all right?

- Sure.
- Don’t do anything else for them.

- Okay.
- Okay.

The real question is why are they
all eating dinner together?

- Right.
- Just have everyone eat on their own time.

It's a ritual, everyone's just meeting
each other for the first time.

[NaNa's friend] Were there lots of orders?

Lots.

[photographer] Good, that’s good,
pay attention to your position!

Nice

Not bad.

Next!

Next.

Lift your chin a little.

Very good, stay there.

Okay, give me a different expression.

Good.

Very good.

Hello!

- Done with work?
- You've waited long.

Wow, picking her up from work?

When did they arrange this?

So fast!

Maybe they arranged it when
they were both not doing the dishes.

Not Doing Dishes Club.

Those two are the only members.

- Want to get something to eat?
- Sure.

- You haven’t eaten yet, right?
- No, I haven’t had time.

I only just took off my makeup,
because I..

Oh, you took it off?

- Can you tell?
- No.

Today’s modeling style was a
punk look, very over the top.

Oh? I want to see.

Never mind!

Where should we go?

Let’s go around where I work.

There’s a Hainanese chicken place
that's pretty good.

Yeah? Okay.

Why did you suddenly want to
have dinner with me today?

Well.. today only the two of us had work.

Oh, really, just us?

Yeah, seems like we’re
relatively unlucky.

I just wanted to have dinner with you
since we're both working so hard.

- We can just share a cab home.
- Yes! That's so important.

Otherwise cabs are night are
too expensive.

- Yeah, I looked it up, it's over 100.
- Yeah.

So you work around here?

- Yeah.
- Just over there, right? I saw a store.

- Then, do you come here a lot?
- No.

It’s a little too expensive to
come here often.

Really??

- This place..
- I mean, it’s not too bad...

but for a normal meal
it's a little expensive.

I guess it's a little pricey.

Let’s split tonight’s dinner, then?

No, don't.

We're not that pathetic, are we?
That would be too sad.

So at work today

were you just trying things on
or is the styling already done?

It’s already done, we’re just
preparing for a photoshoot on the 6th.

It was a test shoot ahead of time
to get the modeling poses ready.

Why does a test shoot take so long?

Right? I’m so unlucky.

You know what the premise
of this photoshoot is?

It's raining, I break up with my boyfriend
and I'm drenched with rain!

And when I'm done crying and I go home

I use a makeup remover wipe to
return to my bare face,

and then I have to start sobbing again.

- They’re testing your acting chops.
- It's honestly the worst.

- It'll pay off in the end.
- I hope so.

Work hard!

- We'll support each other.
- We'll support each other.

- I'm going to eat some more.
- Go ahead.

[panelist] How long has he
been waiting?

He's so mad.

- Oh, you're here.
- You're back?

Why were you guys out so late?

- We had dinner.
- Yeah, after work we went to get food.

Did you remember that you were supposed
to wash the dishes today?

Oh, today…

Brother Liu, she... we both
had a full day of work.

Well, yesterday the rest of us
had a full day of cooking.

We shopped for food all
afternoon, and Nana was sleeping.

You know what time she got up,
you know what she had to do today?

- It's fine.
- Well, look, we moved in yesterday and decided how to divvy up the chores, right?

- Right?
- I know, yesterday I went to bed a
little too late,

I was worried I’d bother you guys if
I did it then.

So I wanted to do it today, but then
today I was so busy

that I haven’t had time to do it yet.
But I'll do it now.

But you, you didn't think

you didn’t think to help her do it while
you’ve just been sitting here?

Why would I do that?

Why would you...

It's fine!

[panelist] See?

This is the first argument in the house,
of course it would be the two of them.

You’ve just been sitting here comfortably
for who knows how long,

but even though she’s been working literally all
day you still want her to do the dishes?

It’s fine! It’s just washing dishes!

It was supposed to be me in the first
place, I just haven’t had time yet.

Exactly, it should be her.

Is that not what we decided?

After we all moved in, everybody else has
been free, only you two have been busy,

the rest of us have just been
lounging, is that right?

Well, yeah, you don’t seem like
you’ve been doing anything.

Whether I’m busy or not is
none of your concern.

Hey, hey…

Your affairs aren’t my business,
but everyone has their own things to do.

But we already decided
who was going to do what yesterday.

And last night before bed I even...

Shouldn’t you be more of a gentleman?

At the very least, you should know
to be a little more chivalrous, or do you not?

This is not about whether or not
I'm a gentleman

It’s about the fact that all our chores
were already assigned yesterday.

Right? Yesterday the three of us went
grocery shopping.

Yujie didn’t even feel well but even
then, she still came with us.

And she even helped us make dinner,
you were aware of this, right?

I think Nana should just do her chores.

Whatever. Cool.

It's okay, it's okay.

- I'll help you with them.
- No, you don't have to.

It's fine, it was supposed to be
both of us anyway.

I'll help scrub.

I'm really sorry.

- Here, give it to me.
- I got it, I got it.

Then I'll rinse.

Don't be unhappy.

It's fine.

It’s just unfair. If I were
you I’d be upset.

It’s nothing, it should have
been me in the first place

it’s my fault for not doing it until now.

But we obviously had valid reasons, it’s not
like we were avoiding it on purpose, right?

But maybe it’s not just that
we didn’t do the dishes,

but we also left them in the sink,
so it might have been inconvenient

for others using the kitchen, if they
wanted to cook or something, right?

He would rather cause a big fuss
than just do the dishes himself.

Come on, let’s just wash
them and be done with it.

Seems like you actually
quite like washing dishes.

Yeah..

- Here, I'll do it.
- Okay, okay.

Tensions are already running high.

- It's great TV.
- It really is.

I'm really enjoying this.

Right now everyone feels like
Curry's been wronged.

- Yes.
- No, I don't agree.

I think I'm on Wang Tianqi's side
with this one.

I feel like that Curry is being
overly rigid.

He feels like, "I've waited all day,
I've got to make sure you do the dishes!"

But actually I think it's just not
a big deal, it's really not.

Because in life there really aren't
that many important things

Life is just a bunch of little
tiny issues.

If you take everything so goddamn
seriously, how are you going to live?

But I feel like Curry's obsession with the
dishes is actually kind of endearing.

You think it's endearing?

Just that he's putting such great effort
into this tiny thing..

This personality's tragic, trust me.

Really, he's just asking for tragedy.

But if we divided up chores like this,
for example you cook and I clean,

and one day you stop following it, then after
I cook and you eat and you don't clean up...

They had to go to work, buddy.

But what if one day I have work,
will anyone wash my dishes?

Are the dishes really that important?

Right now washing dishes has become
the most important topic.

Well, I think it's right to be
persistent like him.

I think there has to be a compromise. If you're too
insistent, no one will sympathize with you.

Yeah, I agree.

But you also can't give in and do
the dishes for her and not tell her,

- "This was your responsibility."
- Yes!

"I was only helping you today,
it doesn't mean I'm indulging you."

Ziqi is spot on. Also, poor Kaka, Curry
put her in an awkward position.

But you don't think there was a
little bit of warmth there?

- Yeah.
- You kind of get the sense that Curry feels a little protective of her.

Yesterday this girl helped with dinner and
now you want her to do all the dishes too,

he feels a little bad for her.

I think what he's actually
protecting is his sense of order.

- I agree.
- He just thinks it should be done his way.

He's not trying to help Kaka,
he just can't get over his stubbornness.

- He wouldn't even be happy if they bought a new set of dishes.
- Yeah.

- He just really needs those dishes to be washed.
- Yeah, yeah.

I was so staunch in my defense
of Curry and now I'm all confused!

Maybe you're right, I don't know

As for Tianqi and Nana, did he
pick her up from work?

Because he said that day
only the two of them went to work.

That's a pretty weak excuse.

What is he saying, "Only the two of us
worked so we had to have dinner together"?

He may as well say it was because they
were the ones who left the dishes at home.

- It seems like there's something going on between them.
- They definitely have that vibe.

- That girl is really natural, like when she talks--
- Is it natural?

No way, she seems really artificial sometimes.

When she was done eating,
she was like, "Oh, let's work hard!"

"Let's give each other a thumbs up!"

I think she just doesn't really know him
yet and it's kind of awkward

so she says some things just to say them.

But she seemed pretty comfortable
talking to him.

She's probably just used to acting cute to break
the ice. Remember when they first came in

she was immediately like, "Come sit
next to me! Shh, they're coming!"

- True.
- And how she acted at dinner, like, "Delicious!!"

she just wanted everyone
to feel more at ease.

Then I'll ask Yang Li and others,

have you ever not be able
to afford Hainanese chicken?

Hainanese chicken...
is it really that expensive?

- It's usually around $60 or $70.
- It's not cheap anymore.

But he lost $100 just by being late,
he could eat it if he just stopped being late!

It's really hard to stop being late, especially
for weak-principled people like him.

He's definitely the type to be late.

Yeah, exactly. He's like, it's just
ten minutes, what's the big deal?

These two are both those kind of... temporary
workers, is that what we call them now?

- Yes, temporary workers.
- He said, "It's important that we can share a car home."

And the girl immediately agreed and said
calling a cab at night was too pricey.

Then just don't call the cab!

Walk home! Curry will wait for
you till the sun rises!

But honestly, if you don't have the money,
just buy ramen and eat at home!

Why go out to eat?

Yes!

- But I think he genuinely doesn't have money.
- It's hard to say.

From the way he dresses he doesn't seem
like someone with a low income at all.

And he must go through
tubs of hair gel so quickly.

- Guys will not give up their hair gel.
- Maybe he spends his money on how he looks.

He probably doesn't make a lot,
but from what we've seen

he doesn't seem like he has
strong principles.

So when it comes to money
he's probably a lavish spender.

He seems like a little boy.

But I think from a lifestyle perspective,

they finish work at the same time and they
eat together, they call a car together,

and after they get home
they do the dishes together,

it actually seems like they had a
lovely day together.

In this aspect I think
they're the winners.

That's how I see it. Because in this
segment they were so happy!

- That's true, that's true.
- I mean, that guy was sitting there waiting for eight hours...

- He lost.
- He can't be happy anymore, he's doomed.

If you had to choose,
who would you choose to be?

- Yeah.
- I would choose not to cook.

Okay, let's watch the last segment.

Oh, you’re back? Where were you?

I went to do the dishes.

Aw, by yourself?

Me and uh, Tianqi helped me out a little.

Oh yeah?

- Ah, don't make me talk about it.
- What happened?

You know I had that long practice shoot
at work, right?

I was pretty tired when I got back,
and I was hoping to rest for a bit

but as soon as I got back,
Teacher Liu was sitting on the couch

and he told me to do the dishes.

Then Tianqi went to help you?

Well yeah, because we came back together.

He saw how many dishes there were
so he just came and did them with me.

Oh, you came back together?

Did you run into him while you were out?

It's just that we work kind of close together,
so we went to eat Hainanese chicken

and then we talked about life
and our dreams...

What's that expression?

It was nothing!

We just came back together and
then Curry made me do the dishes.

What’s going on between you two?

Is there anything?

What, me and who?

Tianqi.

Me and him? Of course not,
there’s nothing!

Doesn’t he usually not do chores
or dishes or anything like that?

Hm.. maybe he found out
washing dishes is fun?

Maybe washing dishes with you is fun?

It’s not like that!
It was just a coincidence.

Very interesting.

It's not!

It's actually really annoying.

Who's annoying you?
Wang Tianqi?

Nobody's annoying, it’s just that I was tired
and then I was forced to do the dishes

and tomorrow I have to leave for work
at 4 a.m.

Oh, you’re not going to get
much sleep.

Yeah, I’m going to crash, it’s fine.

If the sky falls down on you,
Tianqi will be there to catch it.

I feel like you can't stop
talking about him!

Come on.

You should wash up,
just try to get home early and rest.

I hope the photoshoot goes
well tomorrow.

- You got this!
- I got this.
