-Let's go.

Episode 10 (Second Half), Week 10
"A Not-So-Average Average Girl"

Done.

Done.

[panelist] It feels like Daji has arrived.
[T/N: Daji is a mythical fox spirit.]

-[panelist] Like a leopard cat.
-[panelist] Yeah.

Hello everyone.
I'm going in right now.

I have a ton of stuff,

and I'm pretty nervous and pretty scared.

Plus, there will be
new people to meet.

What should I do? I'm gonna die.

[panelist] Is she live-streaming?

[panelist] Vlogging, right?

So awkward.

[panelist] That move was so cutesy.
What is she doing?

[panelist] He's singing. Didi's singing.

[panelist] Doesn't he dream of
being in a boyband?

[panelist] This scene, it's
straight out of an anime.

[panelist] She's going to
spook him.

-Oh, wait--
-I'm so sorry!

-One sec--
-I'm sorry.

-Hello!
-Give me a second.

You're?

Sorry, you're?

I'm new here.

Are you the new roommate?

Could you help me bring my stuff in?

-Sure!
-Thanks.

-Where is it?
-It's here.

-Let me, let me.
-I'll do this one.

-It's okay.
-Thanks.

-[panelist] They seem well-matched.
-[panelist] True.

[panelist] I can imagine Didi saying
"This is my girlfriend."

It's fine, leave it there.

You sit first. I'll get you some water.
Please, sit.

-Ok, thanks.
-No problem.

[panelist] She's too good! She really
has the spirit of a cat.

[panelist] Lace socks! I only wore lace
socks in elementary school.

[panelist] She really does
look like a cat!

[panelist] She's too cute!

Thanks. Thanks.

I was just running, and then

suddenly you were standing behind
me. It scared me.

What do you do?
Are you a student or-

Guess. Guess my job.

Do you like to cosplay or something?

Nope.

What else...let me try again.
It's...

What am I wearing on my head?
Guess what I am.

I don't know, you tell me.

I'm from a zoo.

Huh? What do you mean?

I'm a nurse at a zoo.

-Is that true?
-False.

[panelist] What? What is there
to even say?

[panelist] What is going on with this kid?

But actually, no jokes.

I am...

At anime conventions, I am one of those...

I am a cosplayer at anime conventions.

So when you go to conventions,
do you take any photos?

Can I see them?

Okay.

For example,

stuff like this.

This is really cute.

This costume is very cute.

Nice.

Actually, I haven't asked you
this embarrassing question yet.

What's your name?

You just appeared so suddenly
that I forgot to ask you.

My name is Gao Qilian.

I usually go by Gaogao.
The "Gao" in "mochi" (niangao).

-Got it, Gaogao.
-Yep.

My name is Sun Shirui.

My nickname is Didi.

Why do you talk to yourself when you run?

Oh no, I was actually singing.
It's just,

whenever I get tired while I run,

but I want to keep going for a bit,
then I'd--

But won't it tire you out more?

It won't, it won't.

If you talk to yourself for a while
you won't feel tired.

In a bit, before the others get back,

let's think of a way to prank them a bit.

Okay.

-Gotta think.
-I wonder if there's a way...

Wu Kawen (Carmon)
Designer, 29 years old

Li Xing (Hao)
Manager, 35 years old

Chen Liuming (Ming)
Financial Advisor, 27 years old

Sun Shirui (Didi)
Student, 20 years old

Pu Xiaobo (Pupu)
PhD Candidate, 26 years old

Gao Qilian (Gaogao)
Cosplayer, 25 years old

Someone's back.

Daddy!

Don't mess around.

[panelist] "Daddy!"
[T/N: implied to mean "sugar daddy"]

Where'd you go?

-Business trip.
-Oh right, I forgot.

Sit, sit. Let me tell you something.

-What's up?
-Did you know about those two?

Yeah, Nana sent me a message.

Did she send
a very short message?

Yeah, a short one and then didn't
reply to my messages.

Keep sitting. I'll get you a water.

So obedient today.

My “daddy" is back.

Stop messing around.

[panelist] Being “daddy” is nice.

[panelist] But when he says "don't mess around"
he's even more like a dad, you know.

Did you get things done at work?

It went ok. We made a little progress.
Thanks.

Back for a break.

You know our new roommate arrived?

Really? So fast!

Guy or girl?

One of us.

Ah, so a guy came first?
What's he like?

I feel like he's a little strange.

Strange? How so?

He's very artsy.

Oh, okay.

So now we're only missing one.

Missing one girl, right?

Let's imagine...

-You imagine, not me.
-I already have.

A cute girl.

-What about you?
-I haven't imagined yet.

Come on, didn't I already say?
And you still--

I'm still in shock.
I haven't recovered yet.

When they left, did you talk with them
at all?

-We talked too much that night.
-Really?

Hello.

You're?

I'm new here.

Do you know how we set this up?

It's because I told her to scare you.
She's been here a while.

Really? Come, sit.

Sit here.

-Hello!
-Hello.

My name is Hao.

My name is Gaogao.
"Gao" like in "mochi."

Gaogao, got it.

-Your ears are really cute.
-Thanks.

And the tail too.

-Yeah.
-Really cute.

Thanks.

She's a bit shy.

-So it hasn't been long since you arrived?
-Yeah.

Just took her luggage up.

So you guys combined forces to
scare people real quick, huh?

-No, you got back--
-A tacit understanding, then.

This is a surprise.

Hao,

since the newcomer is here,
should we welcome her?

After Nana left, there's
no one who can cook, right?

How about we do take out tonight,

or alternatively,

I brought back luosifen from Guangxi.
[T/N: luosifen is a snail noodle soup dish]

Of course, it depends whether
you like it or not.

Do you like it?

And you?

I...that...

It's edible. Let's do it.

Don't force yourself, but if you want
you can challenge yourself, sure

Since you brought it,
I gotta eat it, right?

-You gonna finish it?
-I have to finish it.

If I don't finish it,
I won't go to bed tonight.

Okay. Let's give it a taste.

[panelist] I suddenly feel like they're
a family right now.

What's that smell?

[panelist] I don't really like luosifen.

[panelist] I love it.

[panelist] It has a kinda strange flavor,
but it can't be helped.

What smell is that?

I could smell it from the stairs.

Doesn't it smell bad?

It's fine.

Here it comes.

Thank you.

You first.

First, let's serve Hao.

[panelist] It's really gross
if you're not used to it.

[panelist] That's me.
When I smell it I want to vomit.

[panelist] You have to just eat it.
Smelling it is worse.

-[panelist] Once you eat, it's fine.
-[panelist] I can't do it.

It's fine. Why so dramatic?

I'm okay.

-Have one bite first.
-No, I'm waiting for you to watch.

Eat, I'm watching you.
Come on, eat up.

Have a bite.

If you spit it out,
I'll stuff it back in.

Chop chop.

Brat.

What's that smell?

What is this?

It stinks.

It's the smell of luosifen, right?

This what luosifen smells like?

-Have you had luosifen?
-Never have.

You're back!

Hao...

Luosifen.

You wanna try it?

Try it out.

-Just try it.
-It really stinks...

-Right now you have to challenge yourself.
-[Gaogao] Hi.

-Oh right, this is our--
-Oh hello hello!

--new roommate.

-Hi!
-Hi!

I'm Gaogao.
"Gao" like in "mochi."

Hi Gaogao.

And this is Carmon and Ming.

-Hello.
-So cute!

Sit, sit.

Is Didi dying?

Gaogao, do you eat luosifen?

-I can.
-She can eat it.

Here's a spoon.

Come.

Time to eat.

Let me try a bit.

Actually, it's a lot like durian.

It's like, after you take
that first bite,

that feeling of disgust is gone.

Say something, sis.

Say something.

I feel like it still smells.

This is a normal reaction.

Why do I think it's
pretty good though?

Right?

I think that, with any foods that
are a bit stinky,

as long as you like it, you can eat it.

[panelist] I'm the same.

Who's cooking luosifen?

This smell is undeniable.

Pupu.

Pupu is back.

Hi everyone.

Sit, sit.

It's luosifen, yes.

Can you eat it?

I actually quite like it.

As soon as I smelled it I knew.

Who made it?

I did.

Oh, we still haven't met.

Right, I'm Hao.

-Just call me Pupu.
-Hi, Pupu.

You're my new roommate.
We didn't meet yesterday.

Yeah, I just came back from
a business trip.

And you are?

-I'm Gaogao.
-She moved in today.

"Gao" like in "mochi."

Gaogao.

We're starting to rack up more and
more of these doubled-up names now.

Pupu, Gaogao.

Gaogao looked very cute today.

When I met her, she was wearing
these, like, ears,

and she had a tail.

She's a cosplayer.

Brings me back to the golden days
of my childhood.

Does it?

Actually, I used to really love
watching anime.

I guess she was still in elementary
in those days?

-Old school anime.
-Exactly.

It was still the era of "Dongmanfan."
[T/N: literally "Anime Vendor"; an anime
magazine, now discontinued]

-I bought them.
-You got them too?

It'd cost 20 yuan a day
just to buy one issue.

-Have you seen "Demon Slayer?"
-That's a good one.

-There's also "Akudama Drive," right?
-Yeah.

I watched the first episode,
and then waited for

all 12 episodes to air,
and then I finished it all.

[panelist] No one can say anything, again.

Didi's lost.

Didi's like, "how come
the adult world is like this?"

I guess...

What are they saying?
What are they talking about?

You guys are in your own world.

I think so too.
What are they saying?

Let's switch seats.

The most well-known one is
Yuno Gasai.

Right, from "Future Diary"

She's the most famous.

She's a classic "yandere." Very pure at first.
[T/N: Yandere characters named
literally "black under pink."]

There was one, I don't know
if you've seen it, called "School Days."

Just ask her.

You should move us around a bit.

All four of us.

Do you guys want to change that thing?

We each would draw
a little avatar of ourselves.

Okay. I'll replace Tianqi.

Yes, and there's Nana.

Sorry, Tianqi old pal.

Should I just write my name?

You can draw yourself--

Oh, draw a guitar.

-Draw a guitar?
-Yeah.

Half my face is masked by the guitar.

Like a hip flask.

-[panelist] She'll draw well.
-[panelist] She should do a cat.

[panelist] Draw a cat. With cat ears.

So cute.

Oh, draw a tail too!

Okay.

Even better since you're on the edge.

Why wasn't mine praised like this?

Your guitar...

It's a bit like a gourd.

Nah. It seems like there's
acne on that face.

Right. If you don't get it, you may think,
"If I call your name, do you dare reply?"

So cute.

I request that Gaogao helps
redraw mine.

Welcome, new roommates.

I'm finally not the newest member.

Gaogao, what are you packing?

I'm packing my dolls.

Like a maiden.

Are these your cosplay costumes?
Did you bring them?

I didn't bring costumes.
These are just some daily clothes.

-That tail...
-I'm also curious about that.

You want to wear it?

-Yes, I can wear it.
-The ears.

This is a wolf's and this is a fox's.

So cute!

So different.

Those suit you too.

The tail, the tail.

You can swing it like this.

-What are you doing?
-I don't know either.

-Hello, hello.
-Hi.

-It's kind of cute.
-Yeah.

Now you and I are one.

Me too.

Nope, nope. I ate too much.

It's not easy to be an animal with a tail.

You need to adjust its position.

Like that. Good.

Why did you want to come live here?

I hadn't lived away from home
in a long time. Yeah.

-You usually live with your family?
-Yeah.

Plus, I'm a social recluse,

so I ended up having
less of a social life.

Yeah. So I just wanted to
experience it.

I have a good relationship
with my family,

so we usually hang out at home, or
go out and play, as a family.

Going shopping, or eating out...

I lack this dynamic with
friends my age.

Same.

So coming here is like
hitting 5 birds with 1 stone.

-Yeah.
-Maybe more.

Yes, maybe more.

Also, I'm not really the active type.

It's a little embarrassing.

So in general, I feel like

this communal living situation will
be more helpful for me.

Is your family comfortable
with you here?

Because it doesn't seem like...

It should be okay.
I'm just trying it.

Hello? Mommy.

I feel pretty good.

Everyone here's very friendly.

There's also someone who
performs the guitar.

I put my clothes and things away.

How's Lil Yellow?

Please take care of it for me.
[T/N: Chinese animal pronouns are not gendered]

Open some good canned food for it.

When I'm free, I'll come back
to see Lil Yellow.

Poor thing.

I'm overwhelmed by Gaogao's cuteness.

It's like she has the soul of cat.

It's too cute.

And when she speaks, she rarely makes
eye contact. Like she's in a daze.

Yeah. I forget that she's human.

She speaks without moving her mouth.
It's like if we talked like this:

She also uses very choppy words.

"Someone who performs the guitar."

It's just so very cute.

We would say:
"Someone plays the guitar," right?

There's an aloof, elevated feeling to her.

She's wonderful. Where did you find her?
This girl is fascinating.

Your current expression is gradually
becoming boorish.

It's like she's brimming
with curiosity about the world.

-Yes. It's really-
-Fresh, yea?

I was shocked. It was so intriguing.

But I think she's very aware of it.
She called herself a "social recluse."

Yes. And after she gets more comfortable,
will she speak more like us?

No. That wouldn't happen.

When she called her mom
it was a bit better.

-It wasn't.
-She spoke a little faster.

When she called her mother,
it really shattered me completely.

She was so cute.

When those three girls were
trying on tails together,

I think they were all
very happy.

That too, it really stunned me.

That one person had such a
big impact on their surroundings.

Who would dare imagine Ming wearing
those ears, with a dangling tail.

And Didi is also very interesting.

At the start, before Pupu came in,

I really felt like Didi had fallen
for her. Something like that.

After he paired up with her
and started pranking the others.

I think Didi is easy to read.
He was really excited.

-Yes.
-He was just too excited.

It was like a new kid had
just arrived.

He was curious and
wanted to play with her.

So Daxun guessed right.

They collided indeed.
They collided too well.

-Such ability.
-The great prophet.

That's something. Twice now.
We should blindfold you.

So tiring. Prophesying really
takes it out of me.

Their current atmosphere is kind of
amazing. It's like we've switched casts.

It is not at all like the house's
old atmosphere.

When she sits, everyone wants to
talk to her.

Wouldn't you?

Seeing her sitting like this,
don't you want to talk to her?

I know someone like this.
Exactly like her.

They talk the same,
they look the same.

They have big shining eyes.
They speak slowly.

And bow like this as they walk.

It's as if this person walked
straight out of a Japanese manga.

What if five people are
all like this?

Could they still talk?

They'd become a manga chapter.

Li Xing is really like the dad
in this manga.

“Daddy.”

-That youthful energy was indeed...
-A little lacking.

Everyone's a "daddy," you know?

Li Xing gets real mad
every time he hears it.

"Don't mess around."

And this scolding makes him
even more fatherly.

"Don't mess around."
It's exactly what dads say.

That youthful energy is far from him.

-Hey, morning.
-Morning. It's so early.

Yeah, I just worked out.

-Went for a run?
-Yeah.

-Reading a book?
-I'm studying.

Various things.

Doing a PhD is really just

a daily fight against
a sea of knowledge.

Do you have any opportunities to,
for example, perform?

Since you're actually
already more of a professional.

So in China,

everyone is focused
on classical music,

so things like classical guitar are
still...not that well known.

Basically, there are
very few opportunities.

So it's actually a...

a pretty awkward position.

If you say it's a show, it
might not be seen as one.

I think classical guitar
is a little awkward.

That's how it is.

People feel like it's not traditional
classical. Unlike piano or violin.

And many prefer playing
and singing at the same time.

What's very popular now is a
play style called fingerstyle guitar.

-Right.
-It feels like classical guitar.

It's possible that you won't
get much recognition for it.

What they say to do here is to
teach and make some--

Pocket money.

Except it's not pocket money,
it's necessary money.

-To eat, drink.
-Living expenses.

Make money and pay for living expenses.
It's actually, quite sad.

It's a pretty miserable situation.

Brother Hao, what's up?

I'm reading.

What about you?
Any plans?

For today,

not much in the morning,
practice in the afternoon

I also have class.

But,

I'm not happy and

I don't feel enthusiastic about
practice.

I'm confused, I don't know
if I should give up.

Have you considered...

For instance,

trying something, taking
some time to

pursue an internship?

Try that out?

But why am I always so confused
about what to do?

Because I don't have much
career expertise.

I'm scared that if I get an internship,
I won't know how to do anything.

I'll just waste everyone's time.

That won't happen.

Internships are a learning process.
It'll be okay.

I'm actually

pretty confident in areas
I know I'm good at.

But when it comes to other areas, I...

What are you afraid of?
You have me.

Yeah?

I have lots of friends in law.

If you really want an internship,

I can find a lawyer to take you on.

Brother Hao's so good to me.

But you can’t wear this to the law office.

What are you supposed to wear?

A suit?

Of course!

You'll have to lend me one.

I can, but I'm not as tall as you.

-We'll figure it out, don't worry.
-Okay.

Okay.

[panelists] What a sugar daddy.

[panelist] Brother Hao's a great guy to know.

[panelist] No wonder he called him "daddy".

It's good to know someone like
this in your life.

Carmon! Help me out.

What's up?

I got up this morning, then heard
a thud.

-And?
-Then I couldn't find my phone.

I searched for a long time,
and found it

stuck between the
bed and the wall.

Where are the others?

Hao and the others went to work.

So you are asking me to help you
fish out the phone?

My hands are smaller than yours.

Please help, please help.

God, you.

How could you do such a dumb thing?

I just heard a thud and then it
disappeared

So I searched in a panic

I'm panicked.

My god, are you stupid?

Your long fingers are useless.

Look, I even broke the wall.
See?

I've spent 20 minutes.

I'll try calling.

Shine the flashlight.

I see it, down there.

Let's get something.

Let's get something to

hook them together and
get it out.

Ok.

Hold the flashlight.

Shine here.

[panelist] He's pinning her against
the wall.

[panelist] Not bad, young man.

Ah sorry.

I think I pushed it in further.

Sorry.

-No way.
-Wait, wait.

Oh no, where did it go?

I just saw it, but after I used
the hangers

I kind of pushed it in.

Wait.

No way.

Let's try again.

I'm speechless.

It's not moving.

It feels like it's deeper.

I can see it, but...

It's okay, take your time.

[panelist] There's some synergy.

[panelist] Alright, alright.

Let's ask someone else.

Let me try.

I give up.

Let's switch, I'll try.

It's right here.

Okay.

You see it?

I see it.

Let me see.

Right here.

You've touched it.

Wait, move it forward.

I see it.

But we just can't get it out.

It's hard to hook it. The position,
it fell in.

I'll try again.

I just...

Pay up!

I'll pay you, give it over,
I'll pay.

One hundred yuan.

Okay, I'll pay!

Did it crack?

Fortunately, not.

Hm? His wallpaper is

It looks like Deng Ziqi.

His wallpaper is me?

It's you!

I was going to say!

Turns out, he's just advertising for me.

Why are you following me?

I want to see what you're up to.

What else would I be up to?

I haven't paid you yet.

Then hurry up.

I didn't bring my phone.

What're you doing?

I wanted to draw everyone.

Who? Let me see.

This is Nana,

Yujie hugging her new dog,

And I'm drawing Gaogao.

Gaogao wants to have a tail
and ears.

I'm also drawing Ming.

What about me?

You? What do you like to do?

I like basketball.

It's just a sketch, don't worry.

Just a sketch.

Not like this.

Just a sketch.

This is how I see you in my head.

You.

Okay, I'm done.

Accurate?

Yes.

[panelist] It does have...

[panelist] It kind of has the idea.

I think it's very accurate.

No.

Really accurate.

Not at all!

He looks dumb, let's leave it
like that.

I guess it's okay.

Maybe the head's a bit big.

I'll draw one for you.

Okay, you draw.

But I don't know how to draw.

Just go with it.

Uh, how do I continue?

Just draw the main features.

The hair, how does that look?
Then the eyes and nose.

That's all.

-Hair...
-Just draw whatever.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Hair.

Then...

Eyes.

Eyes.

What am I even drawing?

I give up! This isn't my thing.

Okay, then.

Do you play any sports?

I...

In terms of ball sports, just
ping-pong, badminton.

-Badminton?
-I'm not very good.

You play it?

Not really.

-Let's play together.
-No way!

I can play.

You don't play?

I do.

Exactly. But I'm not good.

Then I'll hit it lightly.

I won't use too much force.

-Okay?
-You...

You'll really have to hit lightly.
I'm not good.

I am very gentle.

I promise that you'll be able to
return my hits.

Yeah?

What if I can't?

If you can't?

Then you can hit me.

Okay, alright, I'll go then.

Ok.

I feel like it's so wonderful to live
in a child's world.

No financial worries, just basketball
everyday.

It's boyishness,

I think Li Dan is right, he feels very
boyish.

They're all good boys.

Crescendo here, crescendo.

Let's stop for a moment.

Listen to how I play it. Listen
to your teacher.

Right?

It must have dynamic variation.

Let's try it again.

From here.

[panelist] He's so cute!

[panelist] Whose kid is this?

Very good.

Then what's next?

Diminuendo, right?

Right, shouldn't it crescendo here?

[panelist] He's trying hard, see his
little mouth?

Wrong note there. What
is this?

That's a C sharp, not a C natural, right?

This part isn't good.

We've talked about the expressions
here before.

Right?

Do you remember? What's this?

Diminuendo. What about this?

-Slow.
-Yes, ritardando.

You're not doing either of those.

Henry.

Did you practice this week?

Whaddya mean?

Did you practice this piece much
this week?

Not much.

This is unacceptable,
the way you're playing.

-Hello, Teacher Pu, hello.
-Henry's father, long time no see.

How was he today?

Has he not been practicing much?

He wasn't feeling well recently,
so he's practiced less.

This week he was...

Just very, very mediocre.

Yeah.

We talked to him, he seems to
find it difficult

Responding to the teaching style.

I think the teaching style may be
a bit harsh?

I don't think so.

I think it's good to be strict.

As parents, we just wanted him to
enjoy playing the instrument.

To have some musical background.

But we never thought about
preparing him to be

like a...

professional pianist, or something.

I know, I know.

It's just a hobby.

It's just, if you're studying
classical music

You have to do it with the
attitude of a classical musician.

We're not learning folk songs, we're not
learning ukelele.

Teacher, if you put it like that,

I think we have some
philosophical differences.

You--

Because I think, if he's starting
to dislike it

That wasn't our intention.

In that case, we might have to
find someone else.

I'm a little hungry.

You want ramen?

Not really.

What about takeout?

Maybe later.

I'm not very hungry now.

When's Brother Hao coming back?

Do you want to ask?

Sure, ask if he wants to
eat together.

There's nothing to eat
at the moment.

-I'll look.
-Let me ask him.

Ok.

I'll ask the others.

Whenever you're free, let's
all cook a meal together.

Sure.

Is there anything you don't like?

I don't like scallions.

Everything else is fine.

Then let's get takeout when
they come back?

Sure.

I didn't expect there to be no
food at home,

I was studying, almost forgot
about eating.

What are you studying for?

Law.

So cool.

No, I mean, I'm trying not to fail.

Lemme see.

There's so much to memorize,
so I've had to focus.

Can you memorize this?

This looks so complicated.

-You gotta memorize it all?
-Brother Hao.

What are you doing?

Hao, I'm hungry.

What do you want to eat?

I feel bad making you order.

You really feel bad?

I mean, you guys have fed
me so often.

So I feel bad.

What do you want?

What about salted duck?

Sure.

Whatever Hao orders, I'll eat,

So as I was saying

Wait until Hao comes back.

Is he this scheming?

She was gonna order,

I said let's wait for Hao
to come back.

Someone's back?

One more person for the order.

I'll get a bit more.

We're ordering food.

Sit, sit. Quickly.

What's wrong?

I had a bit of conflict

with the parent of a student.

What happened?

So...

I assigned the student

a difficult piece.

Then the parent said, why do you
have to make it so difficult?

-We want something simpler.
-Yeah.

But I think since you've entrusted
your child to me,

-You have to follow my methods, right?
-Right.

The parents think as long as he's happy,
it's okay.

But it's all so pointless.

Actually I think I've mentioned

-I'm also interested in guitar.
-Yeah.

If we're talking about this issue,

I can speak from a student's perspective.

Since you have a teacher's perspective.

I personally think there's nothing wrong

with sticking to your ideals.

But teaching I think more is about

knowing what the student really wants.

For example, I'd want to learn this
just as a hobby.

Thing is, kids often don't
know what they want.

Only the teacher can tell them
what to want.

I think it wouldn't hurt to be
a little more open-minded.

-Let him be interested first.
-Yeah, maybe

Sometimes, I think kids also need
positive feedback.

If he started off receiving a lot
of negative feedback,

I think it might have discouraged him.

Yeah.

It's just a little change.

I think for Pupu,

it's good for him to have these roommates.

He can have multiple perspectives.

They all gave him very
straightforward advice.

Yes, what they said all made sense.

As long as it gets through.

If it gets through to him, it'll help him
in life too.

He wouldn't have come on this
show in vain.

Very good.

I thought it was unexpected seeing Pupu,
with such impressive credentials,

would be just a teacher to hobbyists.

He hasn't graduated yet,

it's just a part-time job to make money.

So you see it in his teaching.

He's obviously very new to it.

He's very harsh.

Now all I can think about is how
Henry looked playing the guitar.

I honestly think he might have
given Henry that name.

That might not even be his real name.

He should be called "Little Tiger".

I love him, he's so cute.

The way he looked at his teacher
at the end, like

"You've killed me."

"Also, my name's not Henry."

All he wanted was

to play the guitar to look cool.

Just let me be.

I just want to be cool, big bro.

Why are you so mean, big bro.

I think the teacher has a point

He's studying classical--

It's not so much a point, but

growing up, Pupu must have
been taught like this.

He's never had a gentle teacher.

Or gentle parents.

And he must've been unhappy
when he was younger

But felt grateful in retrospect.

He must be very grateful, because
he's so good now.

So that's how it thinks it should be.

But if you think about it from the kid's
or his parents' perspective

If you can weather the criticism, you'll
end up good.

So Daxun, we've talked about this.

Daxun was trained in the arts as
a kid.

Yeah, I studied the saxophone.

Did you get harsh criticism
when you were younger?

I also had daily practice.

Back then I could easily read music notes,

but when I saw his sheet music just now,
I couldn't anymore.

Back then I could play anything,
just sight-read and go.

Later, when I was in fifth grade

they said it was affecting my schoolwork.

I mean, I think it didn't have much
to do with saxophone.

Did your grades improve after quitting?

Sax or no, I was no top student.

There's just less free time, because
when you have this hobby,

-it basically takes up your free time.
-Free time.

Did you choose to start the sax
or was it your parents?

They did.

As a child, it's hard for you
to be like,

I'll take you to...

I think that's the kind of thing
you see in stories.

Like, I'll take you to the instrument
shop, you choose!

But they also wanted you to have
a hobby, right?

Not expecting anything.

Right, they didn't expect anything,
so I stopped.

But I regret it now, because
I can't play at all.

I don't know if I can pick it up
again in the future.

-Relearn it?
-It's hard.

Go ask him, ask Pupu.

So I understand him.

If the child gives up now because
the teacher is too strict,

-he might regret it like me.
-Right.

Because I think when you're older,
if you have a talent you can show off

In front of friends or others, or just
by yourself--

Give you a call, "come
over and play the sax"

Right, I'd be so happy if I could.

Because I can't now.

I don't believe it.

Daxun.

Are you that kind of person, Daxun?

Brother, give me a song request!

Listen well.

Are you about to play the suona?
[T/N: the suona is a traditional Chinese horn.]

That's how the sax is played,

It's hung here, and I play it like this.

Any requests, guys? Requests?

Your scene is like one
from a barbecue restaurant

Almost done with your drinks?

Ten yuan a song.

Five yuan a song.

If you're almost done with your drinks,
I'll play "Go Home."

But--

I'm dying.

When I was young, I studied
classical piano.

My teacher wasn't that strict,
so I don't know what I'm playing now

I think it was a good decision
not to continue classical piano.

-Good choice.
-Because my hands are too small.

Teacher Chen.

Because of my hands.

You think my hands are
suited for classical piano?

They're good for sax.

You just play the sax.

But I couldn't persevere through
the difficulty of

practicing a piece for eight
hours straight.

But because I didn't like to practice,
I started composing my own songs.

Then I went to my teacher and said

I composed this piece myself.

-That's great.
-He was very encouraging.

-That's really great.
-It made me who I am now.

Not great at classical, but--

But really good at composition.

Yeah.

But I really like his father’s philosophy.

It's right too.

-His father is so cool.
-It's true.

Usually, parents are the ones to tell
teachers to be stricter.

My kid is going for the exams,
you better prep.

-Yeah.
-But he's a cool dad.

He says, "Our Henry is learning this
just as a hobby."

If you're like this, I might
change teachers.

This dad, I haven't encountered
a parent like this.

You haven't?

I think when it comes to art,

I believe talent is very important.

If you have the talent,

all your efforts will be worthwhile.

-Twice the results with half the effort.
-If you don't have the talent,

even if you work hard, it'll
only be a waste of time.

So I agree with his father's
point of view.

I think this is very important, when
it comes to the arts.

Very good.

But we often seem to hear about

famous artists who were

forced to practice since
they were young.

Who? Like who?

Doesn't Lang Lang have this story?

But the thing is, he was talented
to begin with.

Out of a thousand kids who trained like
Lang Lang,

he's the one with the talent to succeed.

But I feel like with anything

If you don't spend those
100,000 hours,

If you haven't worked hard at this
for ten years,

and had someone push you hard,

you cannot perform at that level.

Yes.

I think art is art, but it's not
limited to art.

Whatever your field is,

if you don't have someone to push you,
you will never do well.

So I think Didi is quite clear-minded
about this.

He says,

"You have to consider what the
student wants."

If he wants to really make it,

you have to push him hard.

We've seen several times that Didi
can be

both wise and foolish at the same time.

He seems to be simple, but he
has a good head on his shoulders.

-I think he is actually very smart.
-Smart.

You see him asking Carmon to help
him get his phone,

And when it's dinnertime, he
looks for "daddy."

"It's up to you! I trust you!"

He knows how to, just--

-Make others do things for him.
-No, not that.

That's you!

The thing is when the other
person does it,

they're also very happy.

-That's me too!
-He's very shrewd.

I will also have others happily
make me money.

So, Carmon and Didi.

I think Carmon has found her youthfulness.

Especially when they bumped heads.

So youthful.

Sparks flew from that thud.

How do you think Didi feels?

It probably hurt a little.

I haven't seen any sparks yet.

Not any romantic sparks.

But they get along well, they're like
siblings.

Like brother-sister.

I feel they have a chance of
getting together.

When they're messing around
with the drawings, isn't that very

"Titanic"-esque.

No, I mean if you're annoyed.

If you think he's annoying or frustrating
to be around,

why draw together?

Daxun means, if they don't have good
feelings about each other,

-they wouldn't sit there and draw.
-Exactly.

And I think when Carmon is with him,
she's very relaxed.

Of course she'd be.

From what I've seen this month,

-I think she can finally be herself.
-Finally.

I think with Binshen, for instance,
she wasn't at ease.

-Yes.
-She's also uncomfortable

with Brother Hao.

It's just with him.

She lost her usual subtlety.

Her sense of subtlety and smallness.

But does this mean she doesn't like him?

In front of someone you like,
you'd be nervous.

She has a point.

Sometimes love just comes to you
without warning.

Love!

It's coming!

It's approaching!

Is this love?

No, there is a kind of love called,
"turns out this is love."

I agree, I think it makes sense.

I think the two of them will suddenly
find out one day.

"Turns out this is love!"

I think this realization may
be ten years from now.

Sis, turns out it's you.

Let's find out if love will

suddenly bite their ankle.

Gaogao? Why are you still up?

I have a photoshoot.

And I'm making something for tomorrow.

Whoa, what are these?

Acrylic nails.

So much variety.

I can set up a store.

-Really?
-Let me know if you need any.

Wow, so many tools.

So you paint this yourself?

Yes.

These are ones I painted before.

I have to make some others.

You drew these?

These are earrings.

So pretty.

What about this?

This is a button.

It's a donut.

I made white glaze to go on top.

So detailed.

I came here to open a shop.

A free shop.

She must be so happy.
[Board: Gaogao's nail store, open 24 hrs]

[panelist] I have to go to her,
get my nails done.

[panelist] Make a set for Hao.

I'll tell you something a
little embarrassing.

Actually, since I've been in
this house,

I've really liked Carmon.

-You...
-You want me to...

Did you know?

I did not know.

What do you like about Carmon?

I just think she's

very sincere and amazing.

I remember the first time I met her.

That was the first night I was here.

I couldn't fall asleep,

so I got up to get water.

Then I met her.

And then,

she was all caught up in

trying to make these noodles she invented.

I just...

So I don't know what happened,

I don't really eat at night.

But...

You ate it!

I thought it was tasty.

Her food moved your heart.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Carmon told me awhile ago.

She...

She kind of likes younger men.

So, I don't know.

So you've plunged into worry now.

I'm a little confused.

Yeah.

Go for it. I think.

Yeah, but I don't know how.

I'll ask for you, help you
figure out how.

Thank you.

I'll show you how, you go for it.

Don't be too calculated.

I know, I'll just casually ask
in conversation.

Hao is acting on his feelings.

Once he acts on his feelings,

it's hard to tell what Carmon will do.

She can't run away.

Now, this situation isn't good.

I think in the end, Hao will
get with Carmon.

I think so too.

He's trying hard.

I still hope Hao gets together
with her.

He likes her so much.

Why don't you go find her?

What would I find her for?

"You two, get together!"

These two kids both have the
unique quality of

helping these adults let their
guard down.

And talk openly.

Hao just naturally talked about his
feelings with Gaogao.

Just like that.

I think Gaogao brings out
his youthful side.

But that doesn't come from her just,
putting a set of bunny ears on him.

To make him feel younger.

I think it's hard, youthfulness.

Once it's gone, it's gone.

And I think it's a...

It's an excuse.

It's not an excuse.

Not an excuse.

-She just likes being cutesy and young?
-Yes.

How can you go back to your youth?

How could he be a teenager again?

It's impossible.

Some people, no matter how old they are,

still seem to be twenty years old.

I'm talking about me.

Not you!

It's me!

I feel you implicated something about me.

I feel implicated.

I think she should date more.

Oftentimes we think we
know ourselves well.

Know who's good for us.

But that's not necessarily true.

-They have to try it out.
-Right.

I think you only know if someone
is good for you

after you've gone out with them.

Just break up, if not.

I have a lot of friends like this.

What they have in common is that
they rarely go out and date.

They just keep thinking,
comparing, choosing.

This person's missing something,

That person's missing something.

But say you're dating someone.

You don't really like them,
they're not that interesting,

Let's just try it.

That's no fun, right?

-Sometimes--
-For you, with the people around you.

Can't you date them? Why don't you try?

Let's not talk about me.

No?

Why not?

Come on. Why not?

If you only do things that
you are sure will be fun.

You'll never be surprised by
happiness.

Someone or something you don't think

you'd normally be attracted to.

You might try out, and turns out
it brings you a lot of joy.

I think this is Carmon's destiny.

Her love destined her to be like this.

She hasn't dated and is twenty-nine,
because she's looking for

this sense of youthfulness.

Where can you find this?

Nowhere to be found.

She found it here, in this guy.

But I don't think they will
end up together.

It's okay, let's take a look at the
next episode.

Will everyone make good progress?

See you next time!

Didi told me he's recently

had a lot of interaction with Carmon.

I think he...

Might like Carmon.

I think you're overthinking this.

[panelist] He looks so hurt.

[panelist] Like he's about to cry.

I think they're getting together.

You like it?

If you like it it's yours.

No, you don't mind?

Do you have feelings for Didi?

What do you mean?

I think Carmon might reject him.

Because the age gap is too wide.

She might say one thing and
mean another.

No way!

If I like you,

Why would I regift something you gave me?

I think she has feelings for him,

but she can't overlook the age gap.

Weibo netizen "Is A Little Mourning"
wants to ask the panel...

Ideally Zeng Keni.

You got lucky!

"What if someone in the house is
really fussy?

Making everyone turn off the lights
while they sleep.

Requiring silence from everyone else

while they're sleeping,

but is on the phone with their own
boyfriend late into the night?

They'll complain about noise whenever
anyone puts on music,

so the dormitory is so quiet

I can hear a pin drop.

It's so unfair, I can't even speak at all."

I think with this kind of problem,
you have to talk to them first.

I don't think I can advise you,
cause if it was me

I'd probably get in a fight with her.

Because I feel like a dormitory is
really a public space.

It's not your own private space.

If between the two of you

you can't come to an agreement
about how to share the space,

There's two options:

Either you move out.

Or I move out.

As our Teacher Yang Li says,

"Why are some people so average
but still so confident?"

"Why is it that, in university,

Where everyone has to share a dorm,

You are being self-centered about it?"

So I hope if you happen to watch
this video,

take some time to reflect upon yourself.
