♪There’s no need to wander anymore♪ [Memory of Encaustic Tile] [Adapted from Beifeng Sanbaili’s original novel “Memory of Encaustic Tile”] [Episode 26] [First Love is Not a Small Thing] You’re early. You’re here. -You’re here. -You’re early. Up there. That’s right. Go further up. No rush. One at a time. Okay. Mr. Luo. You’re here.
All right. That’s all for now. Look. From now on, stop calling me Mr. Luo. Call me master. I’ll take you as my apprentice. That doesn’t seem appropriate. There’s nothing wrong with that. I have the final say. I’ll talk to your dad later on. Master. Consider this a gift from your master.
Thank you, Master. Put your work aside. I have something to say. I hereby make an official announcement that I have a new apprentice now. It’s this handsome guy over here. Congratulations, Mr. Luo. Congratulations, Mr. Luo. Say a few words. Hi, I’m Zheng Sunian. Nice to meet you. Be kind to him. Okay. Welcome.
All right. Get back to work. Look. This is your desk. You have to come 20 minutes early for work every day to sweep the floor and clean up the place. Draw when you have time. Once your drawing is up to standard, you can start working on vintage items. Remember. I’ll evaluate and rate
Each of your drawings. Got it. Okay, now go get a pot of hot water. [Russian delegation, Recruiting translator] [Looking to Olympic Games] The banner to the right. Further up. That’s it. Hello, Sunian. Have you reached the Restoration Department? I just fetched water. How does it feel? It’s amazing, isn’t it? That’s right.
Mr. Luo is now my master, and my dad is my colleague. You have ranked up. I should call you Mr. Sunian now. Sure. Try me. You wish. Oh, right, Sunian. Come with me to the mall tonight. I applied to take part in an English speech contest. It’s really important. I want
To buy a formal dress. Sure, I’ll buy it for you. No, I have money. Why don’t you treat me to some good food? Figure out what you want to have then. Well, let me think about it. I’ll let you know when I see you tonight. See you tonight. See you. Xue! Senior.
How is your speech preparation going? Do you have the confidence to get the first place? Well, I’m well-prepared. But I dare not imagine getting the first place. Keep it up! Keep it up! Bye! Bye! I’ll get going now! Hello, Mom? Xue, listen carefully. I want to divorce your dad. Divorce!
Sunian is here, right? Yes. Quick question for you. Your son is now your colleague. How does that feel? Shao Hua. Shao Hua, my co-worker. Who told you to take the breakfast from my table? There are two portions. I wanted to have one and take one to work. We’re not living together soon.
Start treating yourself as an outsider. Don’t touch my things. Knock it off, will you? Stop acting crazy. Hey, what’s going on? You saw it, didn’t you? Your son is now your colleague. My wife is now my co-worker. What did I do to deserve this? Just go over and cheer her up. What for?
I did nothing wrong. I won’t let her have it her way! What happened this time? It’s such a big house. It’s filled with her stuff. I have only two small drawers. Even that, she tried to find fault with me. You can’t imagine how messy his drawers are. It’s a pain in the neck.
I only meant well and helped to clean it up for him. But he said his stuff had gone missing. He came yelling at me and gave me an attitude. I was through with things. How much does his junk worth? So what if they go missing? She lost my things
And said I was collecting junk. He said I was a junk collector. It’s not like he doesn’t know that I love collecting fabrics? Some clothes are old, but the material is still good. So I took them apart, sterilized them, and sewed them up. Isn’t that another brand new clothes? What’s wrong with that?
Even if I take those parts and put them all over the table, it won’t be laden with them. She gets two large wardrobes for herself. Can’t I have two small drawers? But your drawers aren’t small. Whose side are you on? I… If this happens to you, you’ll be mad too.
Those stuff in the drawers were all my precious. I braved the wind and snow and got them one by one from the flea market over the years. Many of them were vintage items. Look what she’s done. Out of rage, she slammed my drawers and threw everything on the floor. Those small parts
Fell all over the place. How am I to find them? That’s too much. Those parts are innocent. Right? That’s right. I didn’t mean it. Do you know how heavy his drawer is? It’s filled with junk. It slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. I felt bad at that time.
I wanted to apologize to him. But he came arguing with me. He dug out all the fabrics and threw them on the floor. He wanted to cut them with scissors. So I said, “Try cutting it.” Well, did you cut it, or did you not? Of course…
“If you cut it, I’ll fight you till the end!” I dare not cut it. She’s a tigress, perfectly in one piece. I’m no Wu Song. [*A tiger-fighting hero in the novel “Water Margin”] I wouldn’t dare to mess with her. So, in the end, you put them back? I can’t look bad though.
What I did was… Pah! I threw them on the floor. That, and she got mad again. She started coming at me and scratched me with her claws. Then? So we fought. Look, we’ve lived together for over a decade. You can’t imagine this. He said things that were so nasty. Look.
If you want to know how a man feels about you, watch how he is when he fights with you. You won’t know if you don’t fight. But once you did, you could see him for who he really is. He held it in all this time. Do you know what he said about me?
Take a guess. He called me a tigress and said that I’m uncultured and that I took away his human rights. Don’t laugh. He even called me the Queen of Junk. So I had enough. “I’m a junk collector.” “Don’t be with me then!” “Let’s get a divorce!” Fine! Who’s afraid of her?
I’m sick of this trick. She wanted to break up with me when we were young. Now that we’re older, she asked for a divorce. So be it. It’s not like we can’t live without each other. Yes, get a divorce. I know someone in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Putting a rush, are you? Divorce?
Our girl is so big now. Hello! My daddy, mommy! Why are you back? Well, I miss you guys. Your mom must have given you a scare. Where’s Mom? She went visiting as soon as she got off work. She said the sight of me made her feel irritated. It’s more serious than I thought.
I bet she’s going through menopause. I thought the same. Well, Mr. Shao. Since she’s going through menopause, you need to be steady. Why pick fights with her? There’s no point even if I back down now. She alone can pick fights for two. You should know how Ms. Yu is. She can get angry,
But she won’t cool herself off. You need to cheer her up. What about my anger? Her pile of junk takes up two large wardrobes. Why don’t I have any right to have two small drawers? Whatever it is, I’m in the right. So what if you’re in the right? Can it keep you fed?
Or can you spend it? If your wife runs away, are you going to live with “right”? Besides, how can you say that she has a wardrobe full of junk? How many clothes has she made for us out of those rags? Have you bought any clothes over the years?
It feels great wearing them, isn’t it? Look. Who among the men around you dresses better than you? Mr. Shao. We should be grateful, shouldn’t we? You tried to talk me out of it. Why didn’t you do the same with your mom? To win a hard battle,
We have to start with the less tricky one. You taught me that. All right. No instant noodles then. I’ll take you out to have a good meal. No. I asked Sunian to go shopping with me. Shopping? There’s a speech contest in the college. A lot of leaders of big corporations are coming.
I need to get prepared. Be well-prepared then. You might get into a Fortune 500 company. Right? I’ll get going then. Okay. Keep it up! Bye, Daddy! Look, the girls here are so pretty. It would be great if I could find someone like them to be my girlfriend. What are we having?
Why are you laughing? -Let’s have noodles. -Don’t you want it? Okay. -Sure. -Come on. Shiyin? Hi. -This is… -Do you know her? He’s my high school classmate. Go ahead. I’ll join you girls later. -Okay. -We’ll go there first. Okay. Well. I’ll get going. I’ll leave you two to talk.
I’ll leave you two to talk. [Shunda Express Logistics Company] Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? It was a last-minute decision to help my colleague out. What’s the matter? Are you mad? No. You’re lying. Shiyin. Do you not want others to know about us? No. No. Have you eaten? Are you hungry?
I haven’t eaten. Join us then. Forget it. I’ll take you to have some good food and go shopping for new clothes. Come on. Why are they also here? They wanted to celebrate my first day of internship. Go on and shop. Don’t mind us. Do you have things to do?
If you have things to do, you can get to it. Not at all. We’re free. Our main task today is to keep you both company. Actually, I have things to do. Xue, here’s the thing. I want to buy a dress for Yunjin. You two have the same build. I’m thinking
Of asking for your help to try on a dress for me. That’s it? You should have said so. Pick whichever you want. I’ll try it for you. The one I wanted to buy is at the store downstairs. Luxury goods, huh? If you want, I can buy one for you. No.
We just started our internships. Let’s not be smug. Come on. Let’s go! How is it? The food is good, right? Not bad. But let’s not come here next time. Why? I love eating steak. How much is a steak in the supermarket?
I can cook for you, and we can have it at my place. But you don’t even have a pan for frying steak at home. We can go to your place. What if my parents see you? Oh, right. The rehearsal you told me about before. When’s the play? About that. The play is over.
Why didn’t you tell me? I even ordered flowers. Quickly cancel it. It was suddenly brought forward. It caught me by surprise too. Next time then. I’ll take you there next time. I’ve freed up my schedule for tomorrow to spend the day with you. But I need to work overtime tomorrow. Again?
The regional manager is coming to do an inspection. If I perform well, I might have a chance. What chance could you possibly have? So? What do you think? Is it too revealing? Are you cold? Yes. It’s revealing then. This theory does seem to make sense. What do you think?
Should I try a few more? This will do. Thank you. I’ll get changed then. Why didn’t you ask me along? I’m so tired. You seemed to be having so much fun. So we didn’t want to disturb you. When are we eating? I came for this meal. Hello? Okay. I know.
I’ll be there soon. Who is it? Xuening. She wants me to go shopping with her. Not buying the dress for Yunjin anymore? I’m buying. I’m going to make the payment. Please bring it back for me. I’ll get going now. You’re really something. Only the two of you? Where is he?
He’s going shopping with another girl. Isn’t Yunjin out of town? Don’t ask. See anything you like? No. It’s expensive, ugly, and uncomfortable. Come on. Let’s go and eat. Come on. This is nice. ♪The big windmill keeps spinning♪ ♪With a bunch of happy friends♪ Where are my friends?
-Dad, what are you doing this early? -Hush. What is it? Keep your voice down. Your mom is getting out of control. I’ve been trying to curry favor with her all night, but she wouldn’t buy it. Did you do the right thing? I… served her drinks and gave her a leg massage.
It didn’t work. These are getting old. You need to try something new. Something new? Any woman will concede defeat before this. Romance. Romance? Where are you going? I’ll show her romance. Go back to bed. Enough sleeping for me. I need to get ready. I have an English speech contest to attend. Okay.
-Keep it up. -Keep it up. Stupid old man. Where did he go so early in the morning? Sleeping on the couch makes my back hurt. You smelly mice. Come and fold the quilt. Mr. Shao. You’re wearing a new top. Dongge made it for me. Mr. Shao. The embroidery on your shirt is so pretty. My wife made it herself. Looks great. Fetching water? I’m going to fetch water now.
Off you go. [Beijing welcomes you] There are only so few people fetching water today. Zheng. You’re riding too slow. You’ve reconciled with Dongge? She ignored me all day and quietly made me a new top. Give me the bag. I’ll take it for you. That looks better. Fellow colleagues, it’s time to fetch water!
Fetch water! “The Olympic spirit [The Foreign Language Speech Contest about the Olympics] is the spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity, and fair competition. The Olympic spirit…” Which year is she in? She’s a freshman. “An oriental country with an ancient civilization.” Thank you. Xue. Someone from Huanyu Investment came and asked about you.
For real? Yes. That’s him. I told him you are just a freshman. He finds it quite a shame. Indeed, it is. It would be nice if it was after graduation. Don’t worry. If your details are in their talent pool, there’ll be a chance in the future. Xue, you’re awesome. Those in Huanyu Investment
Are master’s students trained by project 211 universities. If you, an undergraduate, could get into it, you’d be a real talent. But it’s an investment company. Why would they want to recruit me? In the past two years, they have been expanding their business overseas. So there is an urgent need for translators.
But won’t it be too stressful to work there? No… No worries. As long as you have more than two years of experience there, other companies will want to hire you. All right. You may begin. It has begun. Good afternoon, dear professor. My name is Avril from Zhejiang Province. Shiyin! Xue!
Isn’t this our big-time emcee? I’m here to grace you with my presence. Well, Xue, I’ll get going then. Okay. I’ll catch you later. Bye. Bye. Xue. You’d better keep your distance from him. We’re only taking part in a speech contest together. What brings you here? Look.
There’s a store event at the beauty salon that I always frequent. Annual card members will get a free package of Queen’s Spa. I’ll take you to experience the extravagant life of an upper-class lady. That’s too extravagant. No, I can’t. I have a date with Sunian. What are you guys doing? We’re going
To watch the new “Harry Potter” movie together. Again? You can go next time. Giving up a free spa treatment is like throwing money away. That point alone does make me feel a little soul-crushing. But I dare not stand Sunian up. Xue. Look. To keep a guy interested,
You need to learn to play hard-to-get. This time, stand him up for once. Then, show up in front of him looking dazzling. Half the work, twice the effect. Well. How do I tell him? Just sending him a text will do. Come on. Let’s go. What should I text him?
[From Xue. Sunian, something urgent came up. Let’s watch the movie another day.] [What’s so urgent?] Mimi. Where did it go? Mimi. Why… This is… It seems a little weird. I’m still not used to being colleagues with you. After some time, you’ll get used to it. Go and have fun
After you get off work. Don’t spend time alone. I had a date with Xue. But something came up. Well, let’s get off work then. Let’s go home together and make a few dishes when we get home. Go about your business then. [Beauty SPA] Why are you pulling a long face?
Sunian asked what was so urgent. I don’t know how to reply to him. Say you have a thesis to write. Is that a good idea? Studying hard is good, right? Come on. What’s going on? Hello? Didn’t you go to the movies? Not with Shao Xue? She said she had things to do.
I saw her. In a beauty salon. You must be mistaken. How’s that possible? She’s here with her friend. Look. Hello? Oh, no. Oh, no. Who were you talking to? Didn’t I tell you? My roommate. Why are you giggling then? I pulled an opposite stunt as a matchmaker. What? You won’t understand. Look.
Sometimes, conflict is the catalyst for love. Come on. I’m in a good mood. It’s on me today. So what are we going to do? Nothing over 300 yuan. That’s so stingy of you. A beauty care package worth over 1,000 yuan is just so comfortable. Right? Better than going to the movies, right?
Of course. Way better. [From Sunian, how’s your beauty treatment?] How does Sunian know that I’m in the beauty salon? What’s going on? Oh, no. I’ll go out and make a phone call. Sunian, are you busy? Not as busy as you. Indeed, I’m in the beauty salon. I can explain.
Lin Shiyin has a membership card. It just so happens that there’s a free beauty treatment only for today. So she’s more important than me? No. This treatment is worth 1,888 yuan. It’s free. There won’t be another chance. It’s now or never. Well, I get it then. Money is more important than me.
Well, go on then. Enjoy yourself. Oh, no. The other personality of Sunian has shown up. Applying a facial mask is so crucial. Don’t get distracted. Look, Sunian. All of a sudden, I feel like going to the movies. I want to go so badly. I’m coming over to see you now. No.
It’s boring to go to the movies. No, it’s not! It’s fun! My life depends on this movie. Don’t you say no to me. If I can’t watch this movie today, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. I’ll wipe it off my face now.
After I’m done, I’m coming over to see you. No. What a waste. Sunian. I have to relax to enjoy a beauty treatment. I can’t relax if you’re not happy. Besides, with you acting this way, I’m just absorbing toxins. Think about it. If you won’t let me come over, you’ll be upset.
The beauty treatment would have just been in vain, and there was no movie time. It would be all for nothing. Sunian, I’m begging you. Let me come over to see you. All right then. I’ll wait for you at the cinema. Be safe. Well, see you later. See you later. Shiyin!
I have to go now. Rain check, all right? What’s the matter? Sunian is mad. When this guy gets angry, no woman is a match for him. I have to go. Bye! Slow down! Don’t fall! Sunian, would you like some popcorn? No. How about milk tea? Well. Watch the movie. Stop talking. Sunian, that movie was pretty good, right? Why don’t I treat you to another movie tomorrow? No need. Go home now. Sunian, please don’t be mad. Next time, I’ll save you some candied hawthorn berries. I’m not eating it. Then I’ll set off fireworks for you. I’m not watching it. Does it hurt? It won’t hurt anymore if you stop being mad at me. Be careful next time. Sunian! Open the window and take a look!
Does it hurt? It won’t hurt anymore if you stop being mad at me. You’re still so careless. Let me take a look. Promise me. Don’t be mad at me. Then, I’ll show you. All right. I won’t be mad. Look! It doesn’t hurt anymore. Sunian. Don’t be mad anymore. I promise you.
I won’t lie to you again. Smile, will you? Sunian. Sunian. Sunian. ♪Missing you♪ ♪No better place to go♪ ♪I even want to hear the birds say miss me♪ ♪Missing you♪ ♪No better things to do♪ ♪Why don’t you just find me at three?♪ ♪The sweetest hour starts from the time♪ ♪We meet♪ Xue.
What brings you here? Didn’t you go to the movies yesterday? The beauty salon gave me a few boxes of masks. So I brought them over for you. Thank you. Well. How did the movie go? Is Sunian still mad? Not anymore. Well. Is there any progress between you two? No, not at all.
All right. Enjoy. I’ll get going. Shiyin. I have a question for you. Does it make two people closer when they go from good friends to lovers? Is something going on between you two? No! Nothing is going on. I was just asking. Well, it’s hard to say. Before you get together,
You’ll think everything about him is good. But once your relationship is confirmed, you will find that it’s completely different from what you thought. Aren’t things going well for you and Wu Huan? It’s a long story. If two people live in different circles, they will not have a lot of common topics.
Unlike the time when we were in high school, spending all day together. Besides, once you start a relationship, there’s no going back to being friends. So, Xue, you have to give serious consideration to that question. Sunian, I’m leaving. Where are you going at this late hour? A business meeting. You seem busy, huh?
Why are you smiling? I’m not. Why would you smile for nothing? Something must be up. Tell me. Get back to your games. Pei Shu. Let me ask you something. Ask away. Well. If two people… kissed, does it mean they are together? You’re asking the right person. I know all about kissing. Look.
Before you kiss a person, you have to first confess your feelings. She has to say yes first. If you kiss her before you even confess, that’s considered an indecent act. Confess? Who did you kiss? I’m asking you a question! Who did you kiss? ♪As I traverse this path without minding it♪
