You…
You already know?
I used to be
a live streamer,
a singing streamer.
I loved to cover
classic old songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
You're good at singing.
For my birthday then,
I decided
to donate all the proceeds of my live streaming
to a fan from a poor family
who was sick.
Since it was my birthday,
my earnings were higher than usual.
It was over 30,000 yuan.
I added some of my own money
to make it 50,000 yuan
and donated it to the fan.
Later on, when the amount of donation was announced,
someone said
the amount I donated was too small
and that the proceeds that day
must have been more than 30,000 yuan.
I explained
that the platform got a commission.
But…
no one was willing to believe me.
Then everyone started to desperately scold me.
After that,
the platform provided proof
that the earnings that day
were indeed over 30,000 yuan.
I originally thought
that it would be fine if it was explained clearly.
But some people were even more irritated
and started digging into the brand of clothes
and jewelry I wore in the past.
They said
I only donated
the price of one of my clothes.
They said…
They said I spent a small amount of money
to build a public persona as a pretty and kindhearted person.
Something even more ridiculous happened.
Someone…
who claimed to be my classmate
stepped forward to spill the tea
that I kept dating rich guys
when I was in school.
Then…
my phone number
and address
were exposed to everyone.
At that time, every day…
People called me every day to harass me
and rang the access control intercom downstairs.
Later on,
the rumors became worse.
I didn't know what to do at that time.
I wanted to explain.
But I didn't know how
because those people only believed
what they wanted to believe.
During that time,
even my peers in the industry
began to avoid me.
You must have suffered a lot of grievances
and felt so scared.
During those days, I thought,
some time has passed,
so I should be over it.
But when I realized
that I was recognized by people again
and those eyes
were on me again…
Hongdou.
I'm not that brave.
Sometimes,
people would encounter problems.
But…
it's just like when people suddenly get sick.
It's not your fault.
Cuobazi, slow down.
Run slowly.
Don't run too fast. Slow down!
Why are you here?
She hasn't eaten properly for days.
She has been busy in the past few days,
so she had to eat.
She has been in a bad mood recently
and hasn't eaten much.
Don't worry about me.
I'm eating now, right?
Damai.
Now that you're back, make sure she eats.
I'll let you handle that.
No problem. Leave it to me.
It's not that exaggerated.
I'm fine.
You're just not thinking about it now,
so you feel fine.
What if you're all alone
and you don't feel fine?
You really don't have to keep worrying about me.
I'm really fine.
Haven't I made it this far?
And you have your own things to do.
Even if I can't help you,
I can't keep giving you trouble.
Don't friends trouble each other?
No one would trouble a stranger.
Just chill during this time.
Stay at home with Damai.
Don't think about anything, okay?
Eat up.
Why did you bring Cuobazi?
Doesn't Nana like Cuobazi?
Besides, even dogs feel restrained in cities.
They can't run around freely.
If I leave the dog with my parents,
I'm afraid they can't hold him when they walk him.
So I brought him here.
Whose dog is this?
He's so adorable.
Mr. Ma.
Mr. Ma!
Isn't this Damai?
When did you get back?
I just arrived.
You've gotten slimmer.
I've put on 2.5 kg.
Mr. Ma, why are you suddenly back?
I went to check on
the crimson glory rose farm.
So I decided to visit you guys.
Nana.
Are you okay?
I'm good. Don't worry.
That's great.
Since Damai is also back,
you can hang out together.
I'll go to my room to unpack.
-Let's have tea in the yard later. -Sure.
Mr. Ma.
What a fat dog.
Look how round you are.
Hey, what's going on?
Didn't I say I would pick you up at the alley entrance?
Why did you…
What's the matter with you?
We're not kids who must hold hands
when going to the bathroom.
Maimai.
I've missed you so much.
Come on.
-Give me a hug. -What are you doing?
You've gained weight.
Did you miss me?
-No. -I'll go unpack my stuff.
Wait.
-I want to comment about you. -What's wrong?
You're a business owner now.
Shouldn't you treat us to dinner?
Youyu.
I hear you're dating.
What are you talking about?
What?
I'll help him unpack first.
-No rush. -It's fine.
Tell me the details first.
Do you have to know the details?
I have to know so I can give you some advice.
-How is it? -Why is it so heavy?
Do you have a photo? Let me see.
Here, have some corn.
If you guys have any favorites,
you can share them with me.
After I learn them,
I'll cover the songs for you.
If there are songs you want to listen to,
you can leave comments below.
"Meet By Chance"?
How old are you to know this song?
Are you testing me?
Before I was born, this song…
SINGER NANA-CHAN
Thank you, guys.
Thank you to my supporters.
Eat up.
Ukulele.
I've been practicing this.
When I'm done practicing,
I'll be able to play it for you.
Got it.
For the next song, "Meet By Chance,"
if you like it,
you can search for the original singer.
The song is for you.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Who is it?
DON'T BE IRRITABLE
It's probably a crank call again.
Don't answer it.
Hello?
Just say who you are and what you want.
Just hang up.
A fan?
Well, she's all right.
How did you get this phone number?
Okay.
I'll tell her. Don't worry.
We are all Nana's friends.
Okay. Bye.
A fan?
He said he supports Nana.
Nana didn't do anything wrong.
He hopes she'll have a normal life soon.
Did he say how he knew my phone number?
The WeChat ID you left in the café
is obviously your phone number. Change it.
No wonder.
Receiving these crank calls made my blood pressure go up.
How did Nana endure all of this?
What happened to Nana?
Nothing. She's fine.
Just eat your food.
Here.
Have more of this, okay?
Eat more.
Eat up.
You just placed it directly.
Aren't you afraid that it will explode?
It won't.
Why are you such a coward?
I'm afraid you'll get hurt.
My goodness.
Look at them.
I can't take it.
Calm down.
Even if you've never dated,
you must have seen people dating.
Who hasn't dated before?
I've got a lot of experience.
I'm talking about love,
not a temporary love affair that ends quickly
like the one you're referring to.
No matter how long it is, it's still love.
A love that ends quickly is also love.
Why doesn't my love count?
What a mischievous guy.
Love…
is a mutual attraction between two souls.
Love at first sight is merely lust for good looks.
People like you who look for a girlfriend in bars
don't even have requirements for looks.
It's dark,
and once you get drunk,
you share a passionate night.
When you wake up the next day,
what's left are the ashes after the burning
of carnal desire.
Listen.
You're biased against me.
It's not biased.
It's a summary.
As if.
You've summarized me as ash.
It's so late.
Why isn't Manjun back yet?
She rented a car
and drove to Kunming to visit her friends.
She hasn't been here these days.
She went to Kunming?
Didn't she tell you?
She didn't.
We're just neighbors
living in the same yard.
Why would she tell me?
She didn't tell me.
It smells good.
We can eat them now.
The inside isn't cooked yet.
Roast a little longer.
Eat some peanuts.
Damai.
-Come and warm yourself. -Sure.
What smells so good?
We're roasting chestnuts.
Is Nana asleep?
Yes.
We had no idea about what happened to Nana.
If Damai hadn't called and told us
to console her,
we would probably still be unaware
even after she left.
Nana came here because of that.
How could she possibly tell us?
But she should have told us.
What if we could help her?
How?
At least we can show some concern.
I searched online a bit.
They totally exposed her personal information,
such as her address and phone number.
It's terrifying.
This bunch of people should be arrested
and sentenced to prison for a few years.
Damai.
When did you find out?
The day you celebrated my birthday,
at the bar of Mr. Hu's friend.
Are you that singer, Nana?
I'm not, you got the wrong person.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I looked up "Singer Nana" as soon as I got back.
Then I found out everything.
What is that facial expression?
Isn't she Singer Nana-chan?
Am I right?
The one who cheated donations?
-Yes. -That's right.
-It's her. -It's her.
-Right. -The live streamer who cheated donations.
You're the live streamer who cheated donations.
-It's her. -What did you do?
-Why isn't she banned? -Explain clearly.
You look like a bad person.
-Why must you cheat donations? -I didn't.
Exactly!
I didn't!
-I found her. It's her. -It's her.
Why did you do that?
How could you lie?
It's her!
Hurry! It's her!
-It's her! -It's her!
Cuobazi.
Come here.
It's fine.
Just let him sleep here.
Did he wake you?
No.
I had a dream just now.
Do you want some water?
Here.
Thank you.
Are you feeling better?
Why are you still up?
I'm writing the next chapters.
What did you dream about?
I just had
a nightmare.
I was surrounded
by a big crowd.
You said it yourself, it was a dream.
It's not real.
Don't think too much.
Go to sleep.
I'll let Cuobazi stay with you
to protect you.
It's okay. I'm here too.
Go back to sleep.
Stay here and protect her.
We're here so soon.
I'll pick you up after work.
Give me a kiss.
That's enough.
Go ahead.
I'll get going.
Bye.
Today is a nice day too.
Thank goodness you're here.
Weren't you busy at the construction site?
I checked on it before coming here.
Thank you for helping out, Ms. Xu.
It's fine. We women
are loyal to our friends.
Aren't we?
By the way,
how is Nana?
She's okay. Damai is with her.
Damai is back?
That's good.
I didn't sleep well last night.
Why?
Look.
What is this?
Text messages.
ARE YOU THE MANAGER? HOW CAN YOU HIRE SOMEONE LIKE HER?
GET RID OF HER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE TARNISHED
I'M NANA-CHAN'S FAN, SHE'S A KIND GIRL, HOPE SHE CAN LIVE A GOOD LIFE
WHY HASN'T NANA-CHAN BEEN FIRED? I'M SICK OF SEEING HER AGAIN
What they say is so harsh.
There are a lot of encouraging words too.
Really? I didn't dare to read the rest.
I KNOW THIS CAFÉ BECAUSE OF NANA-CHAN, I LOVE HER VOICE AND YOUR CAFÉ
-Excuse me. Is Nana coming today? -Hello.
Who are you? Why are you looking for her?
I'm a Program Division reporter of the Imperfect Human show.
I want to interview Nana-chan.
We're a talk show.
I wonder if you've watched it.
No.
Then let me introduce our program.
Mr. Xu, we're quite busy.
How about this?
Can you give me Nana's contact information?
I'll contact her directly.
I'm afraid I can't.
How about this?
I'll contact Nana.
Let's see if she wants to do the interview.
I'll let her contact you if she wants to.
Okay, that's fine. Thank you.
Okay. Where do you sit?
Over there.
Wait a moment. Your order will be ready soon.
Okay. Thank you.
-You're welcome. -Okay.
He's like a fly that goes where the cake is.
He's a traffic glutton. Don't mind him.
He's still a customer.
Isn't he a glutton?
There's plenty to eat here.
Let's stuff him to death.
Hello, long-time fans.
This time,
we're at the famous Tian Workshop, a wood carving art museum.
Behind me
is the famous wood carving craftsman, Xiaxia.
This time,
we won't only let you see wood carving skills,
-but we'll also let you -I'm ending the live stream.
-see wood carving crafts. -Time to eat. Bye.
Please give gifts and subscribe.
All right, let's go to the left.
Come on. I'll show you the room there.
I'll get going, Yingzi.
You're leaving? Are you not feeling well?
This way.
Do you want coffee?
Would you like ice?
More ice, please.
Cuobazi, come back!
Xiaxia.
Why are you here?
I saw that you didn't go to work.
I'm taking a few days off.
This is Damai's dog, his name is Cuobazi.
What does "Cuobazi" mean?
It's Changsha's dialect, meaning lying.
I'll make coffee. Come on.
Now, you know what I used to do.
You didn't expect me to be so famous, did you?
Not bad.
You even came to check on me.
I guess you're worthy of my usual concern for you.
But I'm fine now.
You can rest assured.
How can you be fine?
It's scary even to me.
A little.
But I'm really okay now.
Are you leaving soon?
I planned to go to Shanghai
to stay with my parents.
I already bought the ticket,
but Damai came.
So if you had left two days ago, you wouldn't have come back anymore?
Perhaps.
I don't know.
But I'll still invest in the homestay.
Where do you want to go?
I have no idea.
Just like I never thought
I would stay in Yunnan for so long.
Do you still remember
the first day I came to Yunnan?
Yes.
At that time, I was at my lowest.
I didn't know where I should go.
I came out alone on a road trip,
thinking…
that I would drive ceaselessly ahead
to see
where the road would take me.
Sir.
Excuse me, could you do me a favor?
Tell me what it is.
The wheel got stuck in the pit when I was reversing my car just now.
Can you help push my car?
Sure.
Thank you.
Here.
Wait for a second.
Get in the car. Close the roof.
Okay.
Go.
One, two, three. Step on the gas.
Stop. Wait.
Try again.
One, two, three. Step on the gas.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
Sorry, I got dirt all over you.
It's fine.
I'll just get changed when I go home.
Wipe yourself off a bit.
Here.
-Take it. -Thank you.
-I'm truly sorry.
I'm fine.
Okay, I…
I have to go. Bye.
Sir.
I wonder if there's a restaurant here.
There's one in the village ahead.
Can you show me the way?
I want to treat you to lunch.
I can show you the way, but lunch isn't necessary.
Xiaxia.
-Xiaochun. -What happened?
Her car got stuck in the pit. I helped her push it.
-Hello. -Hi.
Xiaochun, she wants to have lunch.
-Take her to Galsang Flower Restaurant. -Okay.
Then ride the bike home and give me the helmet.
Sure.
Bye.
Bye, sir.
-Thank you. -It's nothing.
Are you traveling around the sea?
Yes.
Why did you come here? Is something wrong with the GPS?
I don't have GPS.
I was thinking of driving as long as there's a road
and see where it leads me.
What do you think? Isn't it beautiful here?
Yes. It's quite nice.
And there aren't many people. It's gorgeous.
Follow me then.
Life is really magical.
If my wheel wasn't stuck in the pit,
I wouldn't have met you and Xiaochun
and I wouldn't have stayed here.
And I wouldn't have met
so many good friends.
Then don't leave.
At least don't leave like this.
Don't leave like this?
My mom said,
"Don't leave hungry,
don't leave with a grievance,
and don't leave while crying."
People who leave like this always suffer,
and so do those who fail to make them stay.
If you want to leave,
you can wait until you are happy.
Okay.
I got it.
If I'm leaving,
I'm going to leave happily.
Okay.
It's a deal then. I'll get going.
-Have a cup of coffee before you go. -No, thank you.
Xie Xiaoxia.
You helped me.
I said I would buy you lunch, but you said no.
You came to comfort me for so long.
I said I would buy you coffee, but you said no again.
Why don't you want anything in return?
I just want you to feel better.
Is that it?
Yes. That's it.
Nana.
What are you looking at?
The clouds.
The clouds are so beautiful today.
It was the same yesterday.
Was it?
Is the coffee ready?
I accidentally boiled the water.
We must wait for the temperature to drop.
Xiaxia came just now.
Xiaxia?
Go.
DALI CITY LUOXIA TOWN YUNMIAO VILLAGE COMMITTEE
Over there.
Of course it's good to do business, sir.
But suddenly having many tourists here
is just coincidental.
We won't always have that many visitors like people think.
Like you just said,
you want to get a loan to buy a commercial vehicle for tourists.
That's really risky.
Why can't I do it
if others can?
Is your home located at that crossroad?
You can simply put fruits
and tie-dyed tablecloths and stuff by the door.
It won't delay your work.
You can even place a QR code
on your door.
After you set the prices,
no one needs to stay there.
I see.
All right, ma'am.
I'll ask about the homestay recruitment for you.
Okay.
So, what are you good at?
Cooking?
Cleaning?
I can do all of that.
Okay.
Don't just look at Zhiyao's success now.
Look at his huge investment these years.
He hasn't even earned back his capital.
If you really want to do business,
rent a small store
while the rent in town is still relatively low.
It's hard to start a big business.
Thank you. I won't keep you. I'll go now.
-Okay. Take care. -Okay.
Sir.
Zhiyao.
Xiaohuang.
Why are you here?
I came over to ask the secretary something.
What are you busy with?
I just talked to a dozen people
who wanted to do business.
I listened to them one by one.
A small business on the streets
is quite good.
But some of them are overambitious.
They want to engage in the tourism industrial chain.
Do they know what an industrial chain is?
It can't be helped.
Some people aren't capable of handling the risks.
They have no risk awareness either.
I talked until my jaw ached.
More people are coming this afternoon.
But luckily, the village director will be here then.
He'll back me up.
Xiaohuang.
Uncle Deqing?
Uncle Deqing.
What's wrong with your eye?
Zhiyao, you're here too.
I bumped into the door.
It looks serious.
Let's not talk about it.
Xiaohuang, don't worry about the old residence.
What did Grandpa Yang say?
I almost persuaded him.
But a bunch of people came last week.
He went back on what he said.
People his age
are too old to think straight.
All right. Don't worry about it.
It's a done deal.
We'll certainly support the village's cause.
That's all. I'll get going.
-Take care. -Take care.
Do you know what happened to his eye?
What happened?
I met Aunt Gui in the morning.
She told me
Grandpa Yang hit his eye
with a hookah.
Hongdou.
Is it true that Nana earned a lot when she was live streaming?
I don't know.
I saw online that Nana's dress
costs more than 20,000 yuan.
Who would spend over 20,000 yuan to buy a dress?
She's so rich.
Put away the paper towels.
-It's definitely going to rain tonight. -Okay.
I also read online
that Nana dated a lot of boys
when she was in school.
I don't believe it.
It's all nonsense.
You shouldn't speak nonsense either.
I know. I won't gossip about it.
But Nana shouldn't take it seriously.
She shouldn't take it to heart.
Who cares about what others say?
"A clean hand wants no washing."
She needs to be strong.
Call the police and sue them.
Don't be softhearted.
Since you're not the one going through this,
you don't have to care.
The amount of stress everyone can handle is different.
Don't use your own imagination
to easily evaluate
the life that others experienced.
Hongdou, don't be so fierce.
I didn't say anything.
I'm not being fierce.
Aren't you having a barbecue with friends?
Go ahead.
Really?
It's fine. Leave it there. I'll do it.
Go on. I'll clean up.
-Leave it to me. -Thank you, Hongdou.
Why are you crouching down?
A glass broke. I'm picking it up.
Get up.
Don't cut your hand.
-Get up. -I don't want to get up, I'm tired.
Come on.
You're tired?
Why is my Hongdou in a bad mood?
Don't imitate how my parents talk.
In the video you sent me,
your dad was like,
"Hongdou.
What are you doing, Hongdou?"
You're so annoying.
I’ll stop.
Why are you upset?
Are you too tired?
Today, I received several phone calls
looking for Nana.
So I feel distressed.
Then take the day off tomorrow. Don't come here.
Xiaochun and Xiaoxin can handle the café.
I'm doing Nana's work.
It's fine. I'll come over tomorrow at noon.
I'll leave if they're not busy.
Come here.
It's done.
Isn't that like plugging one's ears while stealing a bell?
Why can't I do that?
Even thieves have a code of honor.
I'll take you somewhere.
I'm not done cleaning up.
Come here.
Sit here and supervise. I'll clean it.
Are you still thinking about Nana's issue?
I'm thinking about how to help her.
You're already helping her.
You're comforting her,
covering her shift, and cooking for her
even if it's not tasty.
It's not tasty?
It's not good?
I even added sugar in the fried eggs with tomatoes for her.
Couldn't you tell that I was trying to be humorous?
Look at the things we say.
"You can do it.
We support you. We got your back."
They can be easily said,
but they sound powerless,
right?
As far as I'm concerned,
we all want Nana to feel better.
But we can't be trapped and affected by this matter.
This is a problem
that Nana needs to solve in her own life.
She's the only one who can figure out
the solution to the problem.
Can't we help her figure it out?
Actually, I've thought about it.
But I'm afraid that you'll hit me if I tell you.
What is it?
Promise you won't hit me
and you won't get angry.
Tell me.
I think we can do it in a practical way.
We might as well encourage Nana to start live streaming again.
Face the problem directly.
This way, she'll get up
from where she fell down.
She can also advertise your homestay,
sell products,
and make money.
Borrow the enemy's arrows.
Are you out of your mind?
Then…
you can tell her what happened to your best friend,
share with her what made you sad,
and encourage her
to be positive in life.
Hey.
What's that look on your face?
It's like I'm a bottle of paraquat.
She's in that state, and you still want her to do live streams?
Do you have any humanity left?
My suggestion might be harsh,
but she can break free.
Break free?
Step out of her comfort zone?
Is that what you mean?
Listen, your idea is absurd.
Step out of her comfort zone?
She's finally okay,
but you want her to struggle where she's uncomfortable.
Are you insane?
I don't want to talk to you anymore. It's useless.
It's dark here. Be careful.
Xu Hongdou.
What are you laughing at?
I'll help you.
I won't talk to you for three days.
Leave me alone.
I'm sorry.
My bad. I apologize.
-Hongdou. -Leave me alone.
Hongdou.
Wait.
My horse is still here. Give me a second.
Wait for me!
