I know that deep in her heart,

she truly loves me.

But she told me

she doesn't love you at all.

If she doesn't love me,

then why is she

wasting her energy torturing me?

That's not true love!

You hardly know each other...

You two hardly even talk.

Tell me,

when was your last real conversation...

...about your thoughts,

feelings and life?

I can't remember,

it's all a blur now.

I'll tell you what's a blur:

Your idea of love.

True love is being with

someone who loves you...

You can feel free

to express your feelings...

Next to her,

you can feel free

to talk about anything.

But I feel free

to talk about my feelings around you.

Is that true love?

Don't be silly!

Here's your Stinky Tofu.

Bye.

He's still jet-lagged.

He flew in and came straight to work!

Cute, isn't he?

A great teacher said the best way

to increase sexual prowess...

...is to mix 3 ounces of ginseng,

3 ounces of aloe vera...

and 8 ounces of dried sea cucumber...

What are you doing?

That cat's driving me crazy!

At least someone's

having some fun around here!

Ah, here they are.

No wonder I couldn't find them!

I'm sorry about that crack...

I'm sure you'll find someone...

Oh please!

Why does everyone think

I'm looking for a boyfriend?

I already found someone, thank you!

Sis, it's been nine years.

You can't still be heartbroken.

None of your business!

Fine, then.

It's agreed, then.

I'll make you a lunch box every day.

But sometimes

Mama makes me a lunch box,

then what?

We'll trade. I'll eat your lunch

and your mother won't find out.

Can you make one

for Chen Pei-Hsin, too?

She's my best friend.

We had to eat hamburgers every day.

No problem. It's a simple job,

just more ingredients.

Thanks, Grandpa Chu!

Chief!

Your plant is dying.

I always forget to water it.

You can't take it with you, anyhow.

Am I fired?

Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Of course,

it's premature to tell you this.

...I still need approval from the board...

I've recommended you

to be vice-president

of our Amsterdam office...

...in charge of all our operations.

Chief, I...

Frankly, you're much too young

for the position...

and too beautiful.

But all the men

I've sent over are idiots,

so you'll have to do.

But, Chief, I...

Everyone wants this job.

What are you waiting for?

I just purchased an apartment.

Rent it out!

You'll probably make a profit!

Then again,

let's wait until the board

confirms your appointment.

I felt like cooking!

The kitchen is all yours.

This is Tsu-an-tofu.

Unfortunately,

you don't have a bamboo steamer,

but taste it anyway.

Where's the tofu?

The tofu is blended in

with the chicken.
