December & January are known as the holiday season so the blog will be taking its winter break. Occasionally I’ll post something if I’ve the time to translate. I managed to translate half of the 100 Q & A on Best to Have Met You with the help of hoju. Thus enjoy the interview with Mo Ting & An Ning 🙂

Interviewer: …… Gu Xi Jue (Celine)

I am very honored to invite …… fellow student Meow Meow and Leader Xu, who we have not seen for a long time! When asking Leader Xu questions, I feel very stressful. But when asking Meow Meow questions …… even more stressful ==!

Ahem, let’s get started!

Xu: Xu Mo Ting.

Meow: Li An Ning.

2. Age please?

Xu: 27.

Xu: Male.

Meow: Uh …… female. (Why must add ‘uh’?!)

Meow (smiles gently): I am very amiable and approachable.

5. What do you think of the other person’s character?

Meow: Outwardly, very difficult to get close to. In fact …… really very difficult to get close to. (==!)

6. When did both of you first meet? Where?

Xu: During senior high school, inside the school.

Meow: Uni …… uh …… senior high school! Inside the school! (Meow Meow, why are you blushing? I still have not asked the last fifty questions that are inappropriate for children??)

7. What was your first impression of each other?

Xu: Very well-behaved. (……)

Meow: …… handsome and cold. (My friend Meow Meow, why does that look in your eyes when you look at Leader Xu seem like you’re buttering him up? Well, then, it seems indeed that every household has its own little secrets.)

8. What do you like about each other?

Xu: Everything also very good. (From the start …… why do I feel Leader Xu’s answers are a bit lacking in feelings?)

Meow (lowers her head and ponders cutely): Good points ah …… good points, good points …… uh, people say loving someone does not need a reason! (==! Meow Meow, your “good points ah …… good points, good points ……” means you’ve thought for a long time but can’t think of a reason?)

9. What do you dislike about each other?

Xu (casts a glance at the person next to him): Heartless.

Meow: ……

(……)

10. Do you think you are a good match for each other?

11. How do you address each other?

Xu: An Ning.

Meow: Mo Ting. Uh, sometimes I will call him Leader Xu.

12. How do you like to be addressed by each other?

Xu: Anything. (Suddenly something flashes before my eyes to make me recall that Xu Mo Ting is the leader of the School of Diplomacy!)

Meow: An Ning will do.

13. If compare to an animal, what do you think the other person would be?

Xu: Cat. (Even if you don’t say, I also know. This guy has just been giving me the superficial, brush-off answers!)

Meow: Cat-head… eagle. [Owl. In Chinese, “owl” is 猫头鹰, but if you break the characters out individually, it literally translates as “cat-headed eagle.” An Ning is making a pun on words.] (… Groaning from the bad pun. Oh, and also, all you pretty girls and pretty women down there off the stage who are going spoony over Leader Xu… that physique, that elegance of his clearly should be likened to the graceful figure of the cheetah or wolf or such, eh??)

14. If you want to give gift to each other, what would you give?

Xu: XX [sex] couple’s vacation.

Meow (blushing and staring at him. Leader Xu appears very calm and collected like he did not see anything): Uh, he has got everything, so no need to give. (……)

15. Then what do you want as a gift?

Xu: Since I have everything, so no need. (Leader Xu, do you need to be so cocky? Sure, you’ve been wearing a very calm, ordinary expression… but could this bethe legendary way of gentlemanly, courteously turning people green with envy?!)

Meow: Uh… A floating life sees only sixty cycles of shifting seasons. Disgrace or honour, have I not, but freedom I have my fill.” [quoting from Song dynasty poem] (I’ll just say… we have a generation gap!)

16. Is there anything that you are dissatisfied with each other? What is it generally about?

Meow (appearing a bit dissatisfied): No dissatisfaction. (……)

17. What is your shortcomings?

Xu: Good memory.

Meow: …… poor memory. (……)

18. What is the shortcomings of the other party?

Xu: Poor memory.

Meow: …… vengeful. (…… When I interviewed Boss Xi and An Jie [characters in Celine’s other novel] previously, I was not under so much pressure. Why do I feel like the two sitting in front of me are both secretly sly (black belly)? Meow Meow, you belong to the pure and innocent type, right? You do, you do, right?)

19. What does the other party do that will make you unhappy?

Xu: Nothing. (==! In that case, what do you mean by what you said just now? I strongly suspect that I’ve been duped!)

Meow: Behaving like a bully …… (Leader Xu finally smiles?? Close-up, close up picture! ……)

20. What you do that will make the other party unhappy?

Leader Xu finally says: Your questions are always virtually the same? Just ask two more questions and we are done, we are in a hurry. (Right away! The questions behind are different! It is said that …… actually who came up with the questions ah?! When asked until here last time, Boss Xi also gave a disdainful look ==!)

Meow: Depending on what was the reason for a change of heart. (Meow Meow, you’re still in good form. Let me say, I’m very relieved about that!)

Leader Xu reluctantly continues.

Hey, then …… we’ll continue?

33. What will you do if the other person is more than one hour late for a date?

Leader Xu raises his eyebrows.

We, can we continue?

41. Oh, then how did you reconcile?

Xu: After a day, everything will be fine. It is not like there is deep-seated hatred.

Meow (continues to smile) says softly: I thought it was deep-seated hatred? (Meow Meow, you are really black belly (secretly sly)! One takes the colour of one’s company ah.)

42. Would you still want to be lover in your next life?
