[MEETING YOU]
Oh no.
Xiarui.
Yes?
What are you drinking?
Ginger Cola.
Ginger Cola?
Do you have a fever?
No it's not that.
I don't.
Just that
I don't know if I'm tired recently.
My resistance has dropped a bit
So I want to drink a bit for precaution.
- Then I'll try it, too. - Don't, don't.
You'll get infected in case I really have a cold.
Then I will
brew another glass
I'll drink with you.
What, what is this taste?
Your expression just now
is so funny.
Do you want to take another sip?
No, no.
Drink it yourself.
Take another sip, Nanxi.
- I don't want to. - Another sip, another sip.
- Drink it yourself. I'm busy. - One more.
Show me your boyfriend's strength again.
[EPISODE 23 - THE BEST COFFEE]
Okay, that's all for today's rehearsal.
Everyone worked hard.
Go back and practice what was rehearsed today.
Try your best to get good results in the final exam.
End of class.
Shu.
What's wrong with you today?
What's with your state of mind?
When you realise the man you deepy love for many years doesn't love you,
where are your tears?
Resentment?
I'm sorry senior.
My understanding for this role
may have a different meaning.
I think this feeling
is not resentment.
You are playing a role, not yourself.
Maybe you do not have such feelings.
But the character will have it.
The crying scene is a small climax.
When the show officially starts
I hope you are able to cry.
Okay.
It's okay, adjust your state, try your best.
Thank you senior, goodbye.
Goodbye senior.
Shu.
Thirsty? Tired?
Drink some sweet ShuiRong 100.
Take vitamins from five and a half lemons to get enough supplements.
You've already hit me and scolded me.
Forgive my immaturity, please?
Actually,
I went back and gave it a thought.
I was also wrong.
Is your leg okay?
I have thick skin, I'm already fine.
Shu.
I guarantee you
in just a few years
you will definitely be a big star.
By that time, I, Cheng Erluo will be your number one fan.
Why didn't you go training today?
Captain is busy, so it ended early.
I was too busy awhile back.
The task of picking you up was hindered.
But from today onwards,
I, bodyguard Cheng is back in action.
How was it?
Has anyone harassed you recently?
No.
Good then.
Where are you going later? I can fetch you.
It's still early, let me find Xiarui first.
Find Xiarui?
That's great.
Let them see our reconciliation.
You wait for me.
I'll go get changed.
Sure. no worries, take your time.
What to do?
What's wrong with Xiarui?
Is she unhappy?
She's getting a headache because of the competition.
What are you talking about?
Xiarui, who bullied you?
Si Bo, you're also here?
I've always heard that Yami cafe is pretty good.
I'm free today anyway.
So I came over.
By the way, I suddenly remembered
I have something to deal with.
I have to leave.
Don't, Si Bo.
You've just arrived and you're leaving already?
I've watched the competition video against the sport college today
I have a question I've been wanting to ask.
If it's okay with you,
can I have ten minutes?
Sure.
Xiarui.
Give us two cups.
Give us two of the best.
Quick, let me show you.
Have you reconciled?
It can't keep going on like this.
That's right.
Reasoning with a fool like him,
there is no point.
Si Bo didn't look for you anymore after that?
Are you guys meeting for the first time here?
The first time.
Then he's quite a gentleman.
He kept his words.
But...
Why does it feel like
he's retreating in order to advance?
It feels a bit weird.
It's okay.
You have made it clear to him anyway.
But this Cheng Erluo.
It's a three people movie
but he's acting as if he 's not in it.
I think
you need to make it clear to him.
You see, even our NanXi has spoken.
Say what?
About Si Bo having a crush on me?
No.
It's telling Cheng Erluo that you like him.
Human feelings
are like these 3 glasses of Shu iRong 100.
Grapefruit stands for bitterness.
Green lime stands for sweet and sour, just like you.
Then, lemon means youth without regrets.
Like you, who's like a flower, fragrant.
Both of you came a long way.
And tasted everything along the way.
You have to understand.
He also has to understand.
How do I tell him?
Tell him that I'm sorry.
You've only treated me like a sister.
But I've always liked you?
Forget it, just go with the flow.
No, you can't let this go with the flow.
You can't let it flow.
Especially when there's a third party involved.
Like a suitor who's courting you.
That's even worse.
Just look at that Cheng Erluo.
Such an insensitive person.
If you don't tell him
he will never know you like him.
So awkward, why don't you resolve this mess at once.
Isn't it right, Nanxi?
Yes.
See.
Even Nanxi has become a relationship expert.
Why can both you show affection?
just by talking about my matter.
You can invite him
to the Best Restaurant.
Best Restaurant?
You never heard of it?
I heard it from my customers here.
No unsuccessful confession has ever happened in this Best Restaurant.
If it doesn't succeed, you just add a dessert.
It'll surely work.
Just give it a try, that's a holy land for confession.
Why are the three of you whispering sneakily like mice?
Are you talking behind my back?
- Yes. - No.
Is it a yes or no?
- No. - Yes.
Do we need to talk about you behind your back?
That's true.
But it's really great I got to bump into Si Bo today.
You quite like this Si Bo, don't you?
Of course! Let me tell you.
Si Bo is the second most excellent person I've met in my life.
Of course, the most excellent is Nanxi.
I'm just telling the truth.
But Si Bo is really nice.
He even offered to help me with practice next week.
Shu.
Do you particularly dislike Si Bo?
It seems like both of you are avoiding each other today.
At least you noticed that.
Nothing, don't think about it.
That's good then.
I was thinking about taking a week off.
But our coach is back, he's asking me to come back.
I guess I can't have dinner tonight.
I'm leaving.
Really, there's something really wrong with his brain.
How about this? I'll talk to him for you?
It's okay, no need for that.
It's almost end of semester. Everyone's quite busy.
You... you're just going to drag it like this?
I'll tell him after the end of semester report.
Alright then, I'll wait for your good news.
Great, great, great.
Nanxi.
Come quicky!
Okay.
What is it?
Help me move this, I can't move it.
Here, three, two, one.
Be careful.
Gently, gently.
Long live, mom.
My goodness.
Coffee machine?
Don't worry.
I won't treat you like a guinea pig.
Because we'll both be guinea pigs.
You can't escape.
Try this cup first.
This cup, I've reduced the water volume based on the previous espresso.
Shortened the extracted essence.
And that makes the coffee richer, drink quickly.
I also used peel particles to neutralise the sweetness of milk.
To highlight the fruity aroma.
It's quite nice.
As for the fruity aroma,
can't taste it.
Really?
Then, try tasting all of these.
After tasting
please write down your feelings and ratings.
Try your best.
Well,
this is pretty tasty.
I can taste the fruity aroma now.
You still have to write it down.
What about you?
I came up with a new formula.
I have to try.
Xiarui, I have to concentrate on one thing at a time.
Can't multitask.
I'll wash the cup first.
You can taste my coffee while washing the cups.
How is it?
A bit... bitter.
True, a bit bitter.
Must've used the wrong beans, let me try again.
Xiarui, I think it's because I've drank too much.
I can't taste it anymore.
Then, take a rest and try again later.
Nanxi, I can't hold it anymore.
Right away.
Okay.
Quick.
Why are you still here?
I have to go again.
Sleep like this.
You first.
You go first.
It's fine.
I'm not in a hurry.
I'm also not in a hurry.
Well.
I will heat up the bread for you first.
You can eat on the way.
Is that so?
Yes.
I'll go first then.
Sure, you go first.
Really?
Go!
Okay!
Not too bad.
Getting more and more skilled.
It's still a bit...
It's okay, this cup is for you.
This tulip is so lifelike and vivid.
I cannot bear to drink it.
I think you should bring it back to the dorm.
And leave it at the windowsill.
And look at it like this, everyday.
Are the younger generation these days, all so hypocritical?
Everything I say is the honest truth, okay?
That's right.
Do not slander our friendship.
Go, mind your own business, don't bother us.
I was wrong, sisters.
Let's have a taste.
Taste it, taste it.
How is it?
It's okay.
Not bad.
Sure enough, hard work pays off.
I am feeling more confident about your coffee competition now.
Try your best.
Okay.
What's wrong?
What else is unsatisfactory?
I have confidence when it comes to the taste of coffee.
- Okay. - But this pattern...
Although baristas think latte art is optional,
but I myself quite enjoy doing latte art.
And I think it's also quite important.
That's right.
Of course, what you like is the most important, it's okay.
Although there are improvements in my skills everyday.
But these patterns, I just keep imitating them.
But no breakthrough at all.
The highest level of latte art is originality.
Boss Yi is right.
I have to be original.
How will you hold a pen?
I think I can do it again, isn't it just an exam?
Can't trouble me, Xiarui.
Have a taste.
Is it nice?
Yes.
This is a new product developed by our boss today.
Besides having a hint of fragrance,
There are 10,000 viewers?
Your fingerprint is more than enough.
Got it, hurry up.
We're late.
Sorry, sorry.
Hi everyone.
Anyway, I'm teaching you how to make coffee today.
I will show the demonstration directly.
Don't turn it off.
No, surely the operation is wrong.
I'll do it again.
I'll do it another way.
It's fine, exams are more important.
I'm only gone for one day. I'll be back soon.
Don't rush, take it slow.
Look, like this.
Goodnight, Xiarui.
Nanxi.
Do your best in the exam.
Okay.
Your competition, try your best.
Okay.
I hereby announce, the World Barista competition.
Eastern China preliminary rounds officially begin.
Next, we'll invite the judges to come on stage to score.
There are two components
that are making your coffee.
What's the...
The first is syrup.
What is the second one?
Pu Er Tea.
Extraordinary.
Interesting.
I hereby announce five contestants entering the finals.
They are Fang Huaien, Xiarui, Wu Tingyou, Lin Zhiyao and Zhuoling.
As expected.
Yay!
Congratulations to these contestants.
2017 World Barista Competition Eastern China Region Rematch.
will officially start in three hours.
To all the contestants, do your best.
Students,
get ready for the exam.
Please put away your phones.
This exam is very important.
I hope everyone will take it seriously.
Boss Yi, I'll go to the bathroom.
Xiarui, what's wrong?
Boss Yi, I did not prepare anything for the rematch.
What should I do next?
Are you nervous?
How can I not be?
Please don't scare me.
How is it possible that Xiarui is nervous.
Stop teasing me already, please help me.
- I'm nervous. - Okay, okay.
Do you remember what I told you before?
Empty your mind.
And only think about the person you love most.
Coffee made in this way, is the best.
The person I love most.
30 minutes have passed.
Please answer the paper carefully.
Read carefully.
♫ Cicadas are sleeping on the desk ♫
Nanxi.
Professor, I have something urgent.
This, you ♫ There book is the mark on my face ♫
♫ Teacher's chalk ♫
♫ I was punished to stand against the wall ♫
♫ Your eyes look at me and they snicker ♫
Baby whale? you made this? ♫ The bell sounds so good after school ♫
I will call you Woodie from now on ♫ The story will be the same tomorrow ♫
You can call me little bell.
Baby whale is our secret. ♫ You're wearing earphone ♫
You can't tell anyone else.
♫ I'm pushing the bicycle while waiting for you ♫
Nanxi, I think I am pretty timid.
Especially scared of losing things. ♫ No need for words to feel warm ♫
♫ Wait for the next holiday ♫
Just like you, lost and recovered. ♫ Wait for the next trip ♫
I'll be here, don't be afraid. ♫ I'll wait to give you a letter ♫
I've told you ♫ The summer after graduation ♫
You are my end.
♫ In the tree hole of by the field ♫
♫ Preserving memories of you ♫
♫ You are the most beautiful scenery in my memories ♫
Xiarui.
Promise me, always be my end.
Can't believe you learnt how to do latte art.
Did you learn from Boss Yi?
Guess.
When you got into Binhai University, ♫ Cicadas are sleeping on the desk ♫
it was you who gave me courage and confidence
This latte art is one of my memories. ♫ The book is the mark on my face ♫
♫ The teacher's chalk ♫
♫ I stand against the wall as being punished ♫
One cannot be too delicate with latte art. ♫ Your eyes look at me and they snicker ♫
Which is why the pattern cannot be too complicated.
If you emphasize on the beauty, ♫The bell sounds so good after school ♫
You can add some decoration on it.
♫ The story will be the same tomorrow ♫
♫ You're wearing earphones ♫
♫ I'm pushing the bike waiting for you ♫
What's the matter? ♫ No need for words to feel warm ♫
You're so cute.
♫ Wait for the next holiday ♫
♫ Wait for the next trip ♫
♫ I'll wait at the next corner to give you a letter ♫
♫ The summer after graduation ♫
♫ In the tree hole of by the field ♫
♫ Preserving memories of you ♫
♫ You are the most beautiful scenery in memories ♫
Okay, all the coffees are completed.
We'll invite the judges to come on stage to score.
The annual World Barista Competition
East China Region rematch is coming to an end.
Which barista from our East China Region can make it to the finals?
I hereby announce, the top three finalists making it to the finals.
They are Wu Tingyou,
Lin Zhiyao,
And the champion for this East China Region Preliminary Round is
Zhuoling, congratulations!
Congratulations to all the winners.
Let's welcome Mr. Umberto to hand out the awards for the winners.
Nanxi.
It was already unexpected for me to enter the rematch, right?
Yes.
Didn't you have an exam today?
Yes.
You finished the paper?
Yes.
Our Woodie is a genius indeed.
Thank you.
The coffee I made today, was my best.
Do you want to have a taste?
Yes.
I'll make it for you when we go back to Binhai.
Okay.
Xiarui.
Mr. Umberto.
Although you didn't win anything this competition.
But my biggest surprise this time was discovering you.
Me?
Your sense of taste and understanding of coffee.
I haven't seen a barista like this in years.
Thank you, sir.
I really like making coffee.
I've seen your information.
You are now a university student majoring in management.
Correct.
Have you thought about coming to Italy?
To learn how to be a professional barista.
Me? Italy?
I'll give you my business card.
To be exact, it's with me.
As long as you pass our language test,
I'm willing to be your referrer.
And undergo a one year barista training in our school.
Thank you, Mr. Umberto.
I am grateful for your recognition.
But I am sorry that I am unable to accept your invitation.
Do you mind if I ask why?
Because when I graduated high school, my mother wanted me to go abroad.
In order to stay in China back then, we put in a lot of effort and tried our best.
If I go abroad this time, all our efforts back then will be wasted.
- You guys? - Yes, us.
Without then, I would beunable to draw the baby whale pattern.
I understand.
People who are more important than dreams, should be treasured.
I respect your choice, if you ever change your mind, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you, Mr. Umberto.
Thank you.
It seems that Mr. Umberto really appreciates you.
Xiarui.
Let me.
Why have you been in the bathroom for so long?
I really want to go, please wait for me, okay?
