Hi there Clementine, I got started on translation, it's going fairly well. I don't exactly get why Li Li says "Zhen Taoyan" in the end of Dialogue 2. I guess it's some kind of Chinese Pod style hilarious joke... I get a little bit confused in the 3rd one as well.

hey Joseph ! I guess Lili says "Zhen taoyan " because she is disgusted by the idea that Zhang lian can leave her. I am not sure, i wa a little bit confused as well but i think that is pretty close. Ok now i am going to listen our dialogue ! clementine

Ok thanks ! About our "guy's advice on women", I think we didn't pick the easiest one, which one of the two guys do you want to be ? So about our dialogue, what is the brother exactly meaning ? He thinks she already cheats on him, or at least she is well on her way right ?

Ok joseph, i will be the boyfriend. I will try to take a deep voice, draw a mustache, and act like a boy. That will not be easy but it will certainly be fun ! I think that the brother is trying to make Zhang lian realize that maybe Lili could cheat on him with a guy with more money. I think he is pretty rude, he doesn't trust Lili and he is trying to put doubts about her in Zhang Lian's mind. It is weird to see how all the lovers friends try to make them break up ! I listened every dialogues, i understood everything but i think it is a little bit disappointing that it ends up like this. I want to know if Lili and Zhang Lian are going to fight or if they are going to be in love for ever, live happily and have plenty of kids....
