Your parents really haven't come home yet?
Didn't I tell you already?
Okay.
Her parents are all not home, then should I...
Do you want to go upstairs to rest,
or in the living room?
If he says to go to the bedroom, then what should I do?
Just pretend this is your own home.
You don't have to be nervous or tense. Just do as you please.
You don't have to be so tense either.
This is my home, I'm— I'm very relaxed.
Why do you keep squirming?
Nothing. I just feel like...
it's a bit weird.
What weird? It's not the first time coming here.
It's different.
The first time you came to our house was to have a matchmaking meeting with my older cousin.
Matchmaking meeting.
The second time you came to our house was to mislead my parents.
Only this time are you actually sincerely coming to our house for real.
Do you want to watch TV? If you want to, watch it yourself.
I'll go pour a cup of water for you.
- No need. - It's fine. You are the guest. I should do this.
Wait here for me, I'll come back very quickly.

Tea is done.
What are you looking at?
You looked good when you were little. It's a pity that you weren't a child star.
- How would you know whether I was a child star or not? - Getting proud of yourself, huh?
I am not lying.
When I was little, I really appeared on TV before.
When I was little, I was famous around the region. Okay?
I can tell. You had quite a good childhood when you were little.
Of course. When I was little, my parents loved me so much. They would always let me do whatever I want.
Then, are you happy being with me?
Yes. Of course, I'm happy.
I still haven't asked you. That day when your stepmom met my parents, what did they talk about?
Which day?
That time! Before your competition, your stepmom came.
She said she wanted to talk to my parents. That time.
It's that time when you lied to me, saying that you guys are meeting at home, but you actually went to a restaurant.
And so I rushed to get back here but no one was home. That time.
- That day? - Yes.
Let me think about it.
What are you still thinking? Hurry and tell me.
What did you guys talk about?
I said...
I was immature before I was 30.
And I hoped that Auntie and Uncle would please bear with me.
But towards Tong Nian, I am very sincere and genuine.
But it's useless with just words from my mouth.
I want to get married. I want to prove with my actions.
I also wish you can sincerely nod your head and agree.
Then... what did my parents say?
If I were your parents, I wouldn't be happy either.
Look at you.
Good looking, good temper, filial, not spoiled, and you're also a top student.
The most important point is that your family is not short of money.
The only thing that I might be able to show is worse than yours.
Then, what happened? What did my parents say?
Your dad asked me,
"What are you taking out to marry my precious daughter?"
So I thought it over. And it seems like I really have nothing to take out.
If we talk about age, I am at a disadvantage. If we talk about education, I am also at a disadvantage.
Then I can only talk about dreams.
I said that for the sake of the path of China winning a championship, I would sacrifice my body and shed my blood,
but your parents still didn't agree.
I got flustered. Both of my eyes got red and I knelt in front of them and said,
"If you don't let me marry Nian Nian, I will stay single forever."
Do you think I'm a fool?
You think I don't know that you lied to me? Why did you make up those lies? Is it that you—
You are so used to using your hands and feet on me now. Taking advantage of me, huh?
Who is taking advantage of who? Look at yourself! It's you that's holding my hands, okay?
What?
Let's hug for a bit.
The kind of person I am
doesn't like to tell the truth.
Other than "I love you," you'd better not believe anything else.
I am just teasing you.
Let me ask you.
After you retired that time, have you ever regretted it?
Life is a one-way street.
Even if one Han Shangyan is gone, there is still an entire team of K&K behind him.
Behind Han Shangyan, there are still countless Chinese youngsters
who would sacrifice their bodies and shed their blood for the sake of the path to a championship.
Nian Nian! I'm back!
Look what food I bought you.
Dad!
- Uncle. - Little— Little Han came?
Yes. He came.
You guys talk. Later, it's lunch. Let's eat together.
Dad.
It's the evening. Right now is the evening.
I am old and forgetful. You guys keep chatting.
Okay.
That scared me!
Little Han, is the food I made good?
- Yes. - If it's good then eat more. Here.
- I'll get you a shrimp. Men should eat more shrimp. - Thank you, Uncle.
Don't be so tense. Just relax.
After Grandpa went back, most of the time I will eat boxed meals at the club.
So I'm used to it.
Eat what? Eat boxed meals?
Eat less boxed meals. They are very bad for the body.
When you have time, come here often.
I'll make some good food for you, okay?
Thank you, Uncle.
Eat, eat.
Yesterday's champion, eat more.
Your club won yesterday?
No, we didn't. We lost. We got second place.
Second place is not bad either. It's equivalent to getting second place on a national exam.
It's a good result. Continue to work hard.
That's not it. He told his teammates, in his dictionary,
there are only champions and failures.
You have ambition.
Why give yourself so much pressure?
Here, give it to me. I'll help you get another bowl of rice.
Thank you, Auntie.
Here, get me a bowl of soup.
Eat, you guys eat.
What did I say wrong? Why did you kick me?
Speak less. The more you speak, the worse it gets.
What if they don't like hearing that?
I understand.
Little Han, what are you doing?
Hurry, put it down! Put it down! You–
- Why are you washing the dishes? - It's fine. Put it down, let me do it.
You are the guest! I can't let you wash the dishes.
Uncle, it's fine. It's fine.
Little Han, listen to me. We have an excellent tradition in this home. Men handle the outside and women the inside.
This kind of thing is always Nian Nian's mother doing it.
- I never do any of it. You can't be doing this. - It's fine. It's fine.
Put it down. Put it down, okay?
Old Tong, what's wrong with you? How could you let Little Han do the dishes?
I saw him doing dishes as soon as I came in. I couldn't persuade him.
Don't you feel bad? These are things that are normally done by you. Don't you feel bad?
- Enough! Don't wash it anymore, Little Han. - It's fine. I should do it.
What it should be? It's the first time that you came to our house to eat dinner. It shouldn't be.
- That's right! - Nian Nian, hurry and get him out.
It's fine. He normally does this. He is a model worker.
I am almost done washing it. Uncle, Auntie, you guys can go watch TV. I'll come later.
Go, go. It's fine.
Let's go.
Model worker. Do you want me to help you?
No need. Just watch beside me, that'll be fine.
Okay then. I'll accompany you here.
- Do you know what your dad told me earlier? - What did he say?
He said in your home, the women handle the inside and men the outside.
He never does housework.
He said that?
He is the one usually doing this work. Why did he have to bluff to you? Seriously.
Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The 🍯 Honey Stewed 🐙 Squid Team @ Viki
Are you full?
I am quite full.
About that, thank you for washing the dishes today.
When did I not wash dishes?
That's true.
Are you cold?
I wore so much, how can I be cold?
Exactly, what do you want to say?
Be careful driving.
That's not what you wanted to say.
I want to say... Just that when I watch movies,
when two people date, when they say bye to each other,
the main guy would always...
to the girl...
Nian Nian, I hope that you can be more courageous when you are with me.
If you want to do anything, just do it. You don't have to be afraid
and you don't have to be scared of me. Okay?
What are you doing?!
Oh, it's you.
I apologize.
Sir, have you eaten yet?
I am very full.
Young lady, I am so envious of you.
Envious of me?
This great young man.
In our neighborhood, he might as well buy a parking spot and sleep here every night.
Every time I work a night shift, I will bump into him.
I bet you guys were in a fight.
No, we weren't.
In society nowadays, how many boneheads would actually be waiting downstairs of a girl's place.
You must cherish him. These kinds of people may seem wild,
but in reality, they are really stubborn.
He is a good man.
Sir, don't say too much.
This one here, she gets embarrassed easily.
I am sorry. Sorry to bother.
Continue. Continue!
So there was someone waiting downstairs every day?
He has the wrong person.
If I really did that every day, wouldn't I be a fool?
I'm leaving.
He has the wrong person!
Are you done?
Go back.
Okay, I'm leaving.
- Get in the car. - I know, I will leave after I see you go back up.
You get in the car first.
There are many bad people in your neighborhood. I need to see you go back up first.
Get in the car first.
You go back first.
Okay, I'm going back.
I'm really leaving.
Come in.
You look so happy that it seems like your mouth can't be closed.
Nian Nian, let me tell you. I originally thought that if you had chosen Little Han,
you would turn bad.
I also thought he wasn't sincere towards you.
But I later realized, I misunderstood.
Whether it is pursuing his career or love,
he is a very serious person.
But the most important point is that,
I think my daughter... is very happy.
When I am with him, I am very happy and I feel blessed.
But I think it's my problem.
Perhaps it's because I care about him too much, I like him too much.
That's why for a lot of things, I always go along with him, not having my own opinion.
Lately, he has been telling me frequently that
he wishes that I would express my own opinion more often and not just follow what he says.
I think that he wants me to have my own character.
Nian Nian, do you know that day, when we were with him and his stepmom, what he said?
What did he say?
I noticed that I love Nian Nian more and more.
I wish that I can see her every day. And I wish these days can continue forever.
That's why I brought it up.
He said he originally only had two words in his eyes: winning championships.
But it's not the same anymore. Now, in his eyes, there are four words:
winning championships
and Tong Nian.
He also said that he wants to marry you.
If he marries you, he can feel at ease.
He can then continue to cultivate his Chinese champions.
And for you, you can get as many Ph.D.'s as you wish.
Because he wishes that you have your own dream
and he would support you fully.
- What else did he say? - What else did he say?
You must let mom think for a bit.
Quickly tell me.
He also said he knows you were pampered by us since you were little and you are spoiled.
That's a perfect match for him. He thinks he doesn't really have any strengths.
That he only knows how to teach the kids and do housework.
And the rest, he only knows how to spoil you!
Mom, do you know?
Han Shangyan is really, really great.
When he used to be poor in the past, he lived with his teammates.
Cooking, cleaning, and whatnot were all done by him.
He is not spoiled at all, and he also treats his friends very well.
In short, please get to know him more.
Do you think that your mom hasn't observed him?
I think that now, he is changing bit by bit for you.
Just like when two people go on a walk, they don't have to say much.
But slowly, their pace will be the same
and they will both see the views that the other person enjoys.
Do you understand?
It's not cooperation that only comes from one side.
Mom, thank you for understanding me.
Oh right. Then, has he mentioned anything about the future?
He already proposed to me.
Really? Did you agree?
- Why? - I ran out of time.
Is what I did wrong?
It's not wrong.
I never thought you would reject him.
Nian Nian, there is nothing bad about this.
Mom just hopes that when you make a decision,
it is made after thinking it through, and that will be fine.
[K&K, E-Sports Battle]
You are here.
This is my first time coming here. And I actually thought to myself,
I am actually a bit nervous.
A grown man like you, after going through so much, what's there to be nervous about?
This is a new beginning.
Furthermore, the outcome of this is still unknown.
I am someone with a wife and a child.
Unlike you, all alone and empty-handed.
I have to take responsibilities for the people at home.
Let me ask you a question.
I kind of remember that your wife used to be your fan.
When she got together with you, would her love for you be just a kind of personal worship and a bit abnormal?
What are you saying? Why did you call my wife abnormal?
I think you are abnormal.
Han Shangyan, are you finally troubled by love?
What troubles would I have?
I have a friend who has some troubles with these kinds of matter. I am asking for him.
Tell me. Did you do something to her?
What would I have done? Are you going to tell me or not?
Okay. I will stop beating around the bush.
As someone who went through this, let me summarize it for you.
If one day, this girl yells at you
and then hugs you while crying,
then it means that it is love and not worship.
When you love someone, shouldn't you pay attention to them?
If you really love me, then you should pay attention to me.
So I think you don't know me at all.
If you knew me, then you would have known that I was allergic to mangoes and I like to eat strawberries.
I don't care if you have money or not, I just care if your future has me in it or not.
I like us when we can talk about anything. I don't like it when you let your mind run wild.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's not argue anymore, okay?
If we keep going like this there will be no end. Let's calm down, okay?
Let's calm down.
Get settled in. In a bit, come down to the meeting.
My second-place winners.
- Boss, uh... we... - What meeting are you guys having?
Uh... Boss, we... we are not slacking off. Our eyes don't feel well; we are resting for just five minutes.
- Five minutes. - Five minutes.
I didn't scold you guys, so what are you guys nervous about?
Scared me. I thought Boss took the wrong medicine today. (T/N: idiom, means "I thought he'd gone crazy")
Boss, didn't you say before that there were only champions, second place winners were all failures?
That's right.
Really?
Then face the wall and reflect on your mistakes later.
Everyone, please go to the conference room and we will have a small meeting.
Thank you for your effort.
No, no! Wait, wait!
- Manager, Boss, today... - What's going on?
- What's with the positivity today?
Let's go to the meeting. Let's go. The Asian Championship is starting soon.
Scared me out of my wits.
Have a small meeting.
Thank you for your effort.
Let's go.
[K&K, E-Sports Battle]
Hello, everyone.
- Hello. - Hello.
Sit down.
Sit, sit.
Buff, come here now to introduce yourself. Old rules.
Okay.
Then I'll start.
Everyone, we've been rivals before.
I just... lost to you guys.
I believe that even without a self-introduction, you all know me well.
We have already analyzed you through and through.
I am Buff. Real name is Bi Dongran. I am 31 years old this year, an advanced-aged player.
I have won the national championship.
Including this year, I have been a team captain for four years.
As of now, I am number four in the server ranking.
This is my first time joining an official club.
In the old days, we didn't have the concept of clubs.
The reason I came back after retiring for so long,
was because I wanted to fight one more time for my goal.
Everyone knows already that I am an advanced-aged player.
No club would dare take me in just like that.
Right here, I need to thank K&K Club for giving me this opportunity.
Welcome Buff, joining Team K&K.
As a new member, Buff will train with us for half a month.
In this half month, there will be five official players and one substitute.
They will go through a rotating collaboration training.
After half a month, we will have two assessments.
One will be personal performance and the other one will be teamwork collaboration.
After that, we will be finalizing the competing team.
And then train for another half a month and compete in the Asian Championship.
Is there a problem?
No.
Of course (not).
This is very fair.
I'll listen to Boss.
The team's honor above everything.
Good.
Buff, your team uniform.
Thanks, Boss.
Little Mi, when you see Little Bai later, let him meet his new teammate.
No problem.
New teammate.
In here, is the registration form for new members. Fill it out quickly later and give it to me.
I need to get you social insurance and whatnot.
We even have social insurance here?
Of course. Where is your social insurance under? Hometown?
- Yes. In Jinan. - Okay. Then I should help you transfer that over.
- What's going on here? - It's fine. This is all minor stuff. I will handle it for you.
Because, regarding this stuff, we have outsourced companies handling all of it for us.
But don't worry, I will definitely get it handled for you.
What's there to be worried about? The benefits here are really good.
Right. Indeed.
There's another important thing: our balance between work and rest.
You know that our boss has a quick temper, especially towards time management.
I understand.
Thanks, Team Manager.
Your computer.
- Okay. - If you have any questions, tell me. - Okay!
You four go to Boss's bedroom for a small meeting.
For Buff?
Go.
Whatever, let's go.
Boss.
- Boss. - Boss. - Boss.
- Sit anywhere. - Okay.
Why are you guys standing there? Sit, sit, sit.
Before, it was our public welcome meeting.
Now, it's a private talk about proper business.
Boss, whoever you want to change, just say it.
I already said that in half a month, the decision will be based on your scores.
Currently, the ranking in my brain is empty.
The two of us have the lowest rankings. It's definitely one of us.
If you don't want to get eliminated, then work hard.
K&K is very fair. It's not rigged.
You? Do you feel burdened?
No.
Say the truth.
I feel anxious, but not burdened.
Boss, how old am I? I'm not Little Demo.
What does it have to do with me?
Using our skills to determine the outcome is the fairest way.
No wonder you're one I brought up.
It's my turn, right? I'm also not burdened.
I'll also do my best, Boss.
Whoever gets changed, it won't be you. Don't mess around.
That's hard to tell. Other than Captain, who else can say their status is steady?
Right. That Buff is ranked fourth.
Other than DT, no one else here can be sure to defeat him.
Have some resolve, okay? Have faith.
As long as you believe you are the strongest, you are the strongest.
Getting a girlfriend is the same, too.
You can drag that subject even here?
- Bring out your fighting spirit. - Right.
Okay. It's all pretty good. You guys can go back.
- Okay. - Okay. We're leaving, Boss.
97, stay.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Bye.
Sit.
So sad. Our team is going to be modified.
Let's make a promise.
No matter who becomes the substitute, he's not allowed to cry or drag the team down.
Don't worry. I know myself.
No! What's wrong with you two, huh?
Didn't we already agree on it inside?
You must have resolve! Have faith! Got it?
- Keep fighting! - Keep fighting! - Keep fighting!
That's right. Let's go.
Wu Bai acts aloof and doesn't like to talk,
while Grunt looks for trouble with any word.
Do me a favor. Try to unify the team.
This?
Not willing to?
I am, I am. I was wondering why you asked me to stay.
You scared me!
Boss, actually, you're not willing to let anyone go. Right?
We're like your children.
Yes.
We're all close, and you're all a part of my heart.
When SP switched out Mi Shaofei, I bit Solo's head off,
but reality later proved
what they did was correct.
In any case, I understand.
In this national finals, judging by the current situation,
SP has improved by more than one grade.
If we don't change, we'll never win.
Boss, not only do I understand,
everyone understands.

Oh my god.
Doing CTF depends on physical strength, too?
Going to die, going to die.
I can't do it anymore.
Second to last?
Today is the first day. Let me try again.
Tomorrow, I'll pass two people.
Can't even run faster than a 30-year-old uncle. Aren't you embarrassed?
I'm not a long-distance runner.
"If the youths are strong, the nation is strong." Don't you know it? (T/N: quote from Liang Qichao's essay, "The Young China", 1900)
How is long-distance running related to patriotism?
I understand, Boss.
Enough! Get up! There are still five rounds to go!
- What? - We only rested for one minute, Boss!
Do you want to compete?
Come on.

- Taste this. - What stuffing is yours?
- Give it. - It's meat. - That's right.
Where's he going?
You forgot to get some juice.
Thanks.
The food here is nice.
Of course. Our Boss gives us the best food, even if he himself has to resort to eating steamed buns.
That's indeed his style.
Let me tell you. 97 is totally evil, Buff.
- Be careful! - Right, right.
He's the best at creating factions.
Please don't let him trick you. If you treat him as a friend, he'll treat you as a sidekick.
- What are you saying? Enough! - What about it?
- It's the truth. Why can't we say it? Why did you steal my juice? - That's how you are.
- Right. - Didn't you get some earlier? - I gave mine to Buff.
- Where's ours? - I didn't even get to drink it yet.
You're not new here. Get more yourself.
Are we even brothers anymore?
- Pour some yourself. - Seriously.
Buff, once you're done getting food, come sit with us.
Okay! Tell me about how evil 97 is.
No problem!
So fickle.
Tong Nian.
Zheng Hui, why are you here?
Wait for me a moment. After I hang up my clothes, I'll come out to you.
Why are you here? Didn't I just say that I'd go out to you?
This is... a girl's dorm.
I have some things that I want to talk to you about.
Are you available?
Yes. Come in.
It's just that it's a bit messy.
Let me clean up a bit. Sit anywhere you like.
Is this... because you're too busy dating?
Besides, I don't believe that guy called Han Shangyan never came into your bedroom before.
He has been in my room.
You misunderstand. Han Shangyan is not that type of person.
He didn't do anything to me. You misunderstand.
So?
What do you think he takes you for? A little girl who worships him,
or an accessory for when he feels bored on his path to the championship?
Senior, I don't think it's suitable for us to chat here today.
You... I'm not feeling well right now. How about this?
Go back first and I'll treat you to coffee someday. Is that okay?
Tong Nian,
look at me carefully.
Why can't you look properly at me?
I am looking at you, I am looking at you.
I like you.
I like you!
I've liked you for two years. Two whole years!
Can you really not realize how well I treat you?
Also, be it in education level, temperament, age, or our majors,
I... I am the most suitable person for you.
Also... Also, I'll earn more money!
I'll become even better. I will surpass him!
I... I... I'll give you happiness. I'll do all that I can to...
I know, Senior! I know that you'll earn a lot of money in the future.
I know that you'll become better! You definitely will!
But that's not what I want! That's not what I want.
I thank you for liking me.
But let's end it here. Okay?
Just right here.
Why? Why?
What do I have that can't compare with Han Shangyan?
What do I have that can't compare with Han Shangyan? Tell me and I can change, Tong Nian!
You're great.
Zheng Hui, you really are great! But do you know how it feels for two people to be together?
When I'm with Han Shangyan, there's a kind of feeling; a mutual understanding.
We don't need to say anything to know what the other is thinking.
Ever since I've been with him,
I don't even care if he gives me enough.
Instead, I'm rather worried that I may give him too little.
When I'm with him, I just want him to be happy.
I want him to be happier each day.
Then, you're so sure...
You're sure that you like him?
I love him.
I really, really love him.
Each day, I love him more.
These past few days have been hard for me.
I can't eat or sleep properly.
I just want to ask you to give me a chance.
Can you give me a chance?
Please.
Thank you for liking me.
But I believe that, in the future, there will be a better girl
who will be more suitable than me for you.
There will be for sure.
Keep fighting, okay?
Sorry.
Zheng Hui!
I'm sorry!
Watching Zheng Hui's back,
I suddenly understood one thing.
I love Han Shangyan, not because he's the famous Gun God,
but because I can truly feel his happiness and sadness.
I want to stay with him as he works towards his dream.
Over this half month, other than Wu Bai who trains alone,
the others have been training at K&K with all they've got.
Even Buff and Little Mi are treasuring this rare opportunity.
Of six team members, only five can compete on the stage.
Although it's determined by skill, it's still very cruel.
As the competition date comes closer,
everyone is even more nervous.
Physical and mental exhaustion is an inevitable result.
Because of this, they need even more determination and perseverance.
Everyone cheers the other on because we are all on the same team.
We are each other's best companion.
Boo!
What?
Why are you this nervous?
Why are you guys laughing at me?
Little Demo!
You guys, don't always eat instant noodles. Eat something else.
Instant noodles are fast. We need to train, Boss.
- That's right. - That's right.
